On .774

The Battery indicator on the Status bar disappeared after unstalling this. Cannot enable it even on the settings of the device.

So I tried enabling it with System UI tuner then it appeared again. But..... Everytime we exit an app or lock the device Battery infocator disappears again. Any fix for this? Thank you.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Ledesma90:
I think a solution would be to create an application that captures the unlock event and that with each unlock the activate battery function is activated.

I read that there is a solution with magisk but my tablet is not rooted and I have not tried

You can also install the battery overlay app from Google play
[Lenovo Legion Y700] giangnvh:
Solved: I found the command, adb shell, then pm enable --user 0 <package-name>

Somehow I could disable the File app, and now I need re-enable it, without root. But the enable button is not show up. Could I enable it via adb, and if yes, then using which command? Mine currently not root.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] zer0se7en:
I just uninstalled it. Will wait for further development if it can be fixed. Thank you.

does locking the bootloader on ROW 240 brick the device? this is assuming i'm coming from CN 737 with an unlocked bootloader updated via RSA. think i saw someone do so without a hitch but on a ROW 139. just wanna be sure
[Lenovo Legion Y700] mlegend123:
could someone please send me the 774 firmware? I am currently getting a device is corrupt error and trying to resolve it. Right now I can't get past fastboot mode.

[Lenovo Legion Y700] maxq1:
awww, man...you just "shared" your serial number to the world
[Lenovo Legion Y700] mlegend123:
Thank you very much. After messing around a bit I managed to get it to work using QFIL.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Breed43214:
No, it can be locked in your scenario.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] icanberandom:
Did it go smoothly? I too have ordered a tablet with pseudo global which would have unlocked bootloader and I would be using rsa to flash real global rom. Kindly share your experience.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] project_2501:
Would someone please extract all the ZUI Global apps so users who want to keep the CN build at least have the option of having the core apps in English?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] maxq1:
nah. was out of the flashing game for a while now. failed on several attempts but was successful in the end. i think what did the trick was using the drivers here after installing RSA and that RSA installed incompatible drivers for our use case

for context, the tab was hooked up to my steam deck with windows 11 and a jsaux dock i'm using. the dock had type A usb 3.0 ports, one of which i used for flashing. cable i used was a Ugreen brand that came with an ssd enclosure (usb A to usb C; apparently 5/10gbps). actual flashing was under a minute, iirc. so was kinda skeptical (and nervous 😆) as the initial boot took a while. whew 😊

good thing i failed too as i was able to know how to boot into recovery using the buttons (vol + and vol - and pwr all at the same time; hold until boot logo appears then release all). from there one can go into bootloader or power off their tab, as required by RSA. a bit worried on my first fail as i can't boot to anything. i think this is what some folks have encountered with their tabs, a soft brick of sorts

glad to report too that what i got out of the box was a CN 737 fw and was prompting me to update. thank you, XDA and all the lovely posters here!!! checked if ADB can recognize my tab then booted into fastboot/bootloader. pleasantly surprised it was locked. like you, was expecting otherwise

also, ROW rom was full of google sh**! i don't remember anyone here mentioning this. easily remedied by debloating though. sorry for the long post but i thought this might help others too

PS: worth mentioning...stock recovery doesn't have an option for clearing cache. might have come in handy when troubleshooting stuff. anyway...love this tab! made me nostalgic too from the high of flashing ages ago 🤣
[Lenovo Legion Y700] maxq1:
so you're rooted now on ROW 240?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Janaboy82:
Since i moved to 240 fw, my youtube is not functioning well.

Without any notification it is just closing itself.

Did you experience similar before?

Now it is closing after 5-10 minutes.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] S4NS3:
I just want to say that I have updated from version v15.0.549 to global 240 following the steps that appear on the screen in the Rescue and Smart Assistant program.

In general it works much better than the rom that came installed, which had quite a few bugs, but there are small details that must continue to be updated.

The program automatically downloads everything.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] icanberandom:
Today I received Y700 2023 with the pseudo global rom with 15.0.549 rom. I was able to successfully flash the ROW rom thru RSA though i first flashed .139, then changed region using the code ####6020# to GB and and then relocked bootloader using " fastboot flashing lock " command in fastboot mode. I needed to download drivers for it to show in fastboot mode using this link https://www.driverscape.com/download/lenovo-composite-adb-interface

You can install driver shown thru the method in https://gigglehd.com/gg/mobile/15638286 and then select have disk. The command relocked both bootloader as well as critical partition. I then updated to .240 thru ota. The flashing was super easy, took 5 minutes. Thank you everyone.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] norazi:
Sorry if this was answered already but I read the entire thread and was wondering how to root the global rom... Google only shows threads pertaining to root for GSI, CN, and JP NEC roms.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Azu022:
Hey, I'm getting mine tomorrow, just so you know. Did you have to download the 139 manually or can you choose on RSA? Thanks in advance ;)
[Lenovo Legion Y700] icanberandom:
I had the pseudo global rom with bootloader unlocked. Since i am not into flashing roms, i did not wanted to try something new as i had already read that someone with same pseudo rom had flashed .139 successfully. So i downloaded the firmware from interenet, extracted all the files, deleted all the files in the folder named same as firmware downloaded by rsa in rsa folder rom files and then pasted the files of .139. flashed it, changed region, locked bootloader, updated to .240 thru ota, reset the tablet and then logged into my google account and set up the tablet.

Btw i had asked on forums and people were of the opinion that it would be alright to flash .240 directly but i did not wanted to go down that road and rather went for a firmware that was proven to work in my case.

If you have locked bootloader, flash .240 directly just like Ledesma90 above.

I downloaded the firmware from here https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/lenowow/Y700_2023/TB320FC/

Btw make sure you do not have .761 or higher firmware. In fact when first booting the tablet dont connect it to the internet so that no ota update is downloaded. First flash row rom and then perhaps connect it to internet.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Azu022:
Thanks for the information, I've also ordered one with a global pseudo rom from tentrust store ali. It will arrive with the bootloader unlocked.

I'm just hoping to get a firmware below 761.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] icanberandom:
In that case it would most probably have 15.0.549
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Breed43214:
Since .549 is a custom ROM, its version is meaningless.

The question is what do they flash 15.0.549 on top of? The sellers ship them with the bootloader unlocked since 15.0.549 is a custom CN ROM with extra languages patched in.

The tablet could potentially have had .761/.774 initially and the seller unlocks the bootloader and sticks 15.0.549 on top of it. ROW .139/.240 would not work in this instance.

Personally, I'd avoid a fake-global ROM one so I know exactly what the factory version is.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] icanberandom:
It was zui 15.0.549 but I am not well versed in this field. I wrote what I found in my case. Probably they flash gapps and languages on top of zui by unlocking bootloader.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] darkjedi:
Grab the boot.img file from the ROM, then run it through Magisk to patch it. Then reboot to fastboot and fastboot flash boot boot.img

That's how I did it for my Y700.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] pawel.mrk:
For those who have ordered this tablet from Ali to the UK - has there been any customs duty to pay on arrival? Haven't ordered from China for a while, not sure what the deal is now.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] icanberandom:
Does anyone has gcam with xml config for y700 2023? If so, kindly share the link.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Onimusha117:
Japanese NEC has new firmware! Anyone tried updating yet?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] blueberryapple:
Yeah it updates just fine. And after updating, it no longer shows "unknown version" in the about screen and instead shows the proper version number
[Lenovo Legion Y700] icanberandom:
Should we keep "oem unlocking" on in developer options or is it safe to turn it off? Considering we are on global/row firmware coming from before .761
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Onimusha117:
Confirmed! Updated with no issue.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] soulextinction23:
So am I not able to install the global rom if I have. 774 installed?

Sent from TB320FC using ReLabs
[Lenovo Legion Y700] stdiocout:
I've found that the NEC version can be upgraded to .036 when unlocked. BTW, I found that in the Simplified Chinese (Singapore) changelog it says “Your device will be upgraded to Android N”, which is obviously ridiculous (not found in other languages).
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Breed43214:
You'll have to unlock the bootloader and patch a modified version if you want to go to Global.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] soulextinction23:
a modified patch of .774? is there a website you can link for me to download the modified patch?

Sent from GM1917 using ReLabs
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Breed43214:
You have to modify the vendor boot images of the Global ROW ROM so it skips the region check:

You can follow this link to have a more complete way on how to patch the file/s.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] gonzothewicked:
FYI: having previously unlocked-bootloader and RSA'd to .139; I just upgraded to .240 via the inbuilt tools quite successfully.

I haven't seen any release notes attached to the jump, if you have them then that would be great to have.

I also hear it's best to lock the boot-loader again, but I don't seem to see those settings in the settings menu, anyone know how to do this?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] icanberandom:
*Locking bootloader will reset your tablet*

Enable usb debugging

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot devices

(If your tablet does not appear, you need to download fastboot drivers so check my comment above. Also fastboot works only using the port on long side)

fastboot flashing lock

(Select lock bootloader on the tablet after this command. The tablet will reset and reboot. If it does not reboot itself, use " fastboot reboot " )

This command locked both bootloader and critical partition in my case. To check if it is the case, use the command after again enabling usb debugging and going into fastboot mode, " fastboot oem device-info ". If it says locked for both bootloader and critical, just use " fastboot reboot " , otherwise enter " fastboot flashing lock_critical " and then reboot.

Once you are done with above process, turn off oem unlocking in developer options.

Hope this info helps you.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] gonzothewicked:
Thanks for the info.

So reset as in completely format and reset the internal and local storage?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] icanberandom:
Yes your personal data will be deleted so make a backup of it and then proceed.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] sandman06:
FYI, I was on CN 774. I have never unlocked the bootloader and was able to use RSA to flash NEC 15.0.036 without unlocking. I was then able to go to settings and use ####6020# to set my location to US. (Whenever I tried that prior, I got an error that my location was already set.)

Everything seems to be booting fine. Still some japanese bits here and there.

I'm curious to find out what my "secret" region is to see if maybe I could eventually move to ROW when a later version comes out. Does anyone know the best way to check?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Breed43214:
If you were on .774 it will have been region locked to PRC.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] avatarwan13:
this problem is no longer exist on .795 update
[Lenovo Legion Y700] zer0se7en:
Nice. But I haven't received the update for CN rom yet. But will wait. Thanks for the heads up.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] gonzothewicked:
Thanks, got the ting locked and now setting it back up again.

Thanks to a google backup, it's mostly smooth. Downloading apps previously installed but I'm uncertain if the shortcut layout will be restored; will have to wait and see.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Azu022:
Hello, update. I receive my table today, bingo in 549. Was able to flash 139, region code + lock botloader and updated by ota 240. Thanks you again :)
[Lenovo Legion Y700] S4NS3:
Hello mates,

I just want to say that I updated from 549 to 240.

I think it is not necessary update first to 139 and then to 240, because the tablet after the update directly to 240 indicates that both Lenovo and Google's Definition is as X Undefined. Also the Country Code appears as NO SET and all countries are Unselected.

Now you can select them.

I have also been able to lock the bootloader and unlock it again and I have done root.

Internal version code ####5993#

Set Country code ####6020#
[Lenovo Legion Y700] icanberandom:
I am not well acquainted with flashing roms so i took the route that was proven to work in my case ( i read a review of a person with same pseudo global .549 who flashed .139 and was able to lock bootloader) rather than a new route. Besides it took me maybe 5 more minutes than the shorter path.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] S4NS3:
Hello friend, the question is:

Leave Lenovo's definition and Google's definition undefined until the Lenovo Legion Tab is official in the country where it will be used or select it now?

The tablet is working perfectly in my language and the Google account too.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] icanberandom:
I choose GB united kingdom as this tab has been officially released there and I prefer english as language. I do not live there as electronics can mostly be used anywhere regardless of from where they came.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] maxq1:
just curious...why are folks so hang-up with the country code thing even after flashing to the latest ROW ? you get all languages as is and you're one adb command away from setting system locales anyway if you need it. is it just blindly following that KR guide? this ain't like Samsung where updates are region-based
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Breed43214:
It unlocks the upper 5GHz WiFi channels if you select a country where they're legal. It also sets the language and keyboard layout to the country's default during OOBE. If it's UK or an EU country, you get some GDPR restrictions on the Google crap, making it less snoopy.

Other than that, there's not much point. But the 5GHz channels alone are worth it.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] TTGHD:
maybe a dumb question but do these still need to be unlocked on the regular global rom?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Breed43214:
Pretty sure.

I'm in UK and the tablet is officially sold here, I had had no issues setting it to GB. Not investigated it too much.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] maxq1:
thanks for enlightening (y). on ROW 240 my tab connects to our 5G-wifi just fine though. as for the rest you mentioned, won't the adb command for setting locales take care of those?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Breed43214:
It's the DFS 5GHz channels, not 5GHz itself.

As for the rest, maybe, but like I say. I'm in GB and it's officially sold here. There's no downsides to me setting it.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] project_2501:
Actually, the regions are updated independently and Global builds for Lenovo devices always fall off the support bandwagon long before the CN builds. The region locking is a very problematic approach that ZUI/Lenovo take based on market demands that shouldn't be dividing support and updates for a device.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] googdot:
I just want to confirm what others have said...

I received my tablet last week with .654 CN ROM. Successfully flashed to Global .240 using RSA without unlocking bootloader or setting any region or doing anything really. I didn't hook the tablet up to the internet when I first opened it to ensure no OTA updates...just did the initial setup out of the box and then immediately flashed to Global.

Just wanted to thank @Breed43214 , @goolby and everyone in the forum for all the advice and info
[Lenovo Legion Y700] googdot:
One thing I have noticed is that my tablet connects to 2.4GHz on my router. Any reason it's not connecting to 5GHz?

I haven't set the region code since flashing to .240 - I am on Channel 36 on my router so assumed that's not in the upper range and region wouldn't matter.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Ledesma90:
You must configure your router with different names for 5 ghz and 2.4 ghz, if they have the same name it connects to 2.4 by default
[Lenovo Legion Y700] googdot:
Thanks - I thought that was likely the case. This is my first Android device so still learning the ins and outs of the OS...
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Amano_toshi:
What do "Lenovo Definition" and "Google Definition" displayed in ####5993# mean?

Also, is there a way to set them?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Breed43214:
The meaning has been discussed a few posts back.

It's set with ####6020#.

No way to unset once set.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Evans_jd:
Just to confirm that on TPLink with Smart Connect (same name for 2.4 & 5) is working fine.

Y700 always connects to my lower 5Ghz band
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Breed43214:
Mine connects to 5GHz on a combined SSID 🤷‍♂️
[Lenovo Legion Y700] S4NS3:
Try Wifi 5Ghz on channel 40
[Lenovo Legion Y700] project_2501:
What did your serial number change to? Checking to see that everyone gets the same number after going global at .139 version with the lolinet package or it could be masking has been performed on devices before being shipped out covering up the original serial number which I've seen on Y70 and other previous Lenovo products from markets such as AliExpress. I have a solution to revert it back, if you made a proper backup before flashing anything.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] ginandtonic123:
Sorry guys, one question:

I'm on Lenovo ZUI 15.0.459 stable version.. on Y700 2023

Is it possible for me to upgrade without bricking? and link for instructions pls

Thanks in advance
[Lenovo Legion Y700] S4NS3:
Just say that I do not have the regions activated using the activation code ####6020#, they still remain undefined and the 5Ghz band works perfectly on channel 40.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] Breed43214:
That's why I said upper 5GHz channels. The DFS range. I'm talking about Channels 52 - 107.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] eka0034:
Hi, I have updated with 240 firmware and working fine. However, my charging protection is still in 40-60% while the update log and some user can charge up to 80%. Anyone can show me a fix for that? 60% is too low for daily use.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] googdot:
I tried Channel 40 but still connects to 2.4GHz on any of the lower bands.

Interesting it works for you guys without splitting the bands..mine shows 5GHz when it first connects for about 2 seconds, then goes to 2.4 GHZ and stays there.

btw i am of the opinion that it is better to read thru the thread before asking a question, maybe it has already been answered

also you dont need to flash .139 first, rather directly flash .240 thru RSA

I am assuming you are asking the question regarding moving to official global rom from lenovo
[Lenovo Legion Y700] icanberandom:
There are no lenovo specific apps in global firmware apart from lenovo vantage app. There is a nebo and my script calculator preinstalled (these two are available on playstore). Aside from these, rest of the apps are from google.

Now since the global rom does not have any of the stock zui apps, would you please upload and share the link for those apk files.

Btw if you are talking about system apps that do not show up as apps in any launcher, share with me the method on how to extract apks and I'll gladly help.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] maxq1:
it's not that, man 😊. dude posted his tab's S/N here for all to see ;)

Hello friends,

In Google definition it is clear because there is only one, but in Lenovo definition, which option do they select?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] goolby:
I only selected GB without touching the drop-downs (actually at the time I didn’t know that those were actionable 🤔), now ####5993# shows Lenovo as X Undefined and Google as E google EEA…

Looking at the list, I think that Lenovo should remain at Undefined just because those look like something to specific that could brake something… though, this is just my opinion.

Please, could you help me point me in the right direction and roll back to 774? Thank you in advance! Best Regards
[Lenovo Legion Y700] grodero:
Hi experts.

Please, I need some help.

I messed with the bootloader unlock process and just realized that I did not unlocked it before flash global ROM using RSA.

My tablet was in CN 774 version and now it is bricked.

Please anyone can help me to rollback to the original CN 774?

Any help will be much appreciated!

Thank you in advance!
[Lenovo Legion Y700] project_2501:
You will need RSA and you will need to replace what RSA discovers for the devices firmware with what the 774/images directory has inside it here.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] grodero:
Thanks @project_2501

Just to make sure I got it.

Download the CN 774, extract the content, copy to RSA ROM folder and flash?
[Lenovo Legion Y700] project_2501:
Yes. From images1 only, replace all content within that matches with what the RSA directory has stored (none from images 2 need to be applied/replaced, those are for a different cituation with regions). Make sure your firehose configuration is configured correctly and you're using the correct binary. Once the files are in order, go ahead and let RSA complete the flash.
[Lenovo Legion Y700] grodero:
