I thought I would write this guide to help people who are having trouble with getting ICS to work reliably on their Galaxy Note. This guide is fairly beginner friendly but I do recommend that you quickly go through this once before you start. Also, this is a 'risk free' way of trying the ICS leak. You just need to have a nandroid backup from your current clockworkmod (or red-pill recovery) to try this out. If you do not like it, instructions are included on how to restore back to your Ginger Bread ROM. Hit the THANKS button if this helps. Happy Flashing!
Edit. CLICK HERE for my earlier thread demoing ICS on the Note. It has 3 videos that add up to 40 mins.
Edit 2. In case you have any trouble with the ROM and want to get back, I have now included a 'Getting back to your old Ginger Bread ROM' section in the end thanks to chasmodo. I do suggest that you read through for some user reports or better yet, try it yourself!
Edit 3. The guide now includes instructions to get TeamRocketROM ICS and criskelo's ICS ROM. I have had mixed results with these two ROMs. But feel free to try them out and see if they will work well for you. You will HAVE to install the CF repack ICS to be able to install other ICS ROMs. So follow the steps from section (2) until step 10 and choose either Section (4A) or (4B). A shout out to TeamRocket and criskelo. Original Thread for TeamRocketROM and Original Thread for criskeloROM.
Edit 4. MediaFire links for the essential files are now up. They are split into 200mb rar files. You will need WinRAR to extract them.

Section (1) : Requirements.
1) A Galaxy Note, obviously. It HAS TO BE model GT-N7000 (International) and NOT SGH-i717 (AT&T).
2) Samsung Kies, because it includes the latest Samsung drivers. Google it, download and install.
3) Stock GB ROM with a good radio. We are using a KKA for this. It is easily rootable AND it has a great radio. I have also included ODIN for convenience. CLICK HERE. | MIRROR | MF-Part1 | MF-Part2 | MF-Part3
4) Chainfire's CF-Root kernel/clockworkmod for KKA. CLICK HERE. | MIRROR | MF
5) Mobile ODIN Lite and files required to flash ROMs in one pack. OR you can get Mobile ODIN Pro from Market and support Chainfire's efforts. CLICK HERE. | MIRROR | MF
Note. Chainfire is one of the most prolific Android developers/reverse engineers and it will be worth every penny if you donate/buy his apps.
6) Chainfire's ICS repack. This includes CF-root kernel and clockworkmod. Package also includes the google apps zip. CLICK HERE. | MIRROR | MF-Part1 | MF-Part2 | MF-Part3
Check below for additional requirements for TeamRocketROM or criskelo ROM.

Edit. MediaFire links are up for RocketROM.
1) TeamRocketROM ICS v1.4 CLICK HERE | MIRROR2
2) TeamRocketROM ICS v1.5 CLICK HERE | MIRROR2 | MIRROR3
3) 15 Button Toggle Bar CLICK HERE *OPTIONAL but recommended* CLICK HERE
Mediafire links (includes all 3 of the above files) :
MF-Part1 | MF-Part2 | MF-Part3 | MF-Part4
NOTE : You NEED to download BOTH v1.4 and v1.5 for installing v1.5.
////// EXTRA REQs for criskelo ICS ROM //////
****ONLY IF YOU WANT CRISKELO ROM******
1) Criskelo's ICS beta 1 ROM CLICK HERE | MIRROR2 | MIRROR3
Section (2) : Chainfire's ICS repack installation.
1) Your current firmware does not matter. It could be stock, stock & rooted, newer stock & ever-rooted, sammobile ICS, whatever. It's OK even if you're in a boot-loop or plain brick. It does not matter. But be prepared to loose all your app data and also maybe the files on the INTERNAL sd of the phone. This is MEANT as a clean, fresh install. Although you will get back most of the essential stuff once you logon to you google account on the new ICS.
2) MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ATLEAST 50% CHARGE.
3) Extract the file named " N7000XXKKA_N7000OXXKK5_AUT.rar". You will find three files there, .DLL, .TAR.MD5, .ZIP. Extract the zip file. Right click on 'Odin3 v1.85.exe' and click 'Run as administrator'.
4) Now you need to put your phone in Download mode. Turn off your phone if it is on. Hold volume down, home and power together and keep holding them until you see a screen that says Warning on top with a yellow warning symbol. As soon as you see the screen, you need to push the volume UP button to get into download mode. If you miss it, try holding down the three buttons and repeat. The download screen has an android with 'Downloading...' written in the bottom.
5) Now that you are in download mode, go ahead and connect the Note to your computer. If you installed Kies correctly, it will install the drivers for the new hardware and say that the device is ready for use. Now, on the ODIN screen you should see "Added" in the 'Message' window on the left. Now, click the "PDA" button and select the file that ended with .TAR.MD5. Make sure ONLY "Auto reboot" and "F. Reset Time" are checked. Say start and the flashing should begin. DO NOT INTERRUPT THIS UNTIL IT IS COMPLETED.
6) Once the flashing ends, your phone will reboot. Give it upto 5 minutes because it is the first boot. If it is stuck in a boot loop (or if things are force closing on the setup screen), hold down volume UP, home and power button together until you get into the recovery menu. Navigate the recovery using volume and home buttons. Now select the "Wipe data/Factory Reset option", select the Yes option and proceed to wipe the phone. Once done, select the reboot option and your phone should turn on now. Do not setup any accounts and just click through the setup screens. Reboot the phone.
7) Now you have a nice clean stock ROM. We will proceed with the rooting now. Go to settings and 'Applications' and enable 'Unknown sources', then go to 'Development' and enable "USB debugging". Now extract the file " InitialCFRootFlasherKKA". You will see a "not-rooted-yet.bat". Right click and run as administrator. Click enter to continue and now it should say "--- STARTING ---" and "found a samsung" and all that. If you get to the part where it tells you that it is going to flash the cf-root kernel too fast, the adb server probably failed to start. So, you need to close the bat file and run it again as admin. If everything goes right you should see the zergRush exploit in action and after some time it will tell you that it will attempt to flash cf-root kernel. Hit enter, it will flash the kernel and reboot. Congratulations, you now have root and clockworkmod.
7b) PERFORM A NANDROID BACKUP (optional but recommeded) : Turn your phone off. Hold volume UP, menu and power until you reboot into clockworkmod recovery. Go to 'backup and restore' and select backup. Clockworkmod will now create a nandroid backup of your rooted GB rom. So if you decide to g back to GB or try out different ICS roms, this will be really helpful.
8) Now we need to install Mobile ODIN Lite. Extract the file "Mobile_ODIN_Lite_GTN7000". You will see two apks. Now extract "CF_ICS_REPACK_GAPPS_INCL". You will see a .TAR and .ZIP. DO NOT EXTRACT ANY OF THESE FILES. Transfer all these files to your sd card using USB. You can go to 'Wireless and network' menu in settings and then 'USB utilities' to enable mass storage.
9) Using the included 'My Files' app, navigate to the apks. (Note. If you put your files in the external sd there is a folde called "external_sd" in My Files to take you there.) Install " MobileODINLite-v2.15" and then install " MobileODIN_FlashKernel_N7000-v2.0". Now launch Mobile ODIN. It should ask for su permissions and select "Allow" make sure the "remember" option is checked. Select 'Open file' and navigate to wherever you put the "I9220LP1-N7000-ICS-REPACK.tar" file transferred earlier. It should say that it has loaded the file. You will notice the 'Modem' and 'Param' fields are empty, that is fine. Scroll down to 'Flash firmware' and select 'Continue'. Mobile ODIN will boot into recovery and proceed with the flashing. DO NOT INTERRUPT THIS UNTIL IT IS COMPLETED.
### OPTIONAL STEP *ONLY* FOR ROCKETROM/CRISKELO-ROM : Once the flashing is complete, it will take you to clockworkmod. Perform a 'wipe data/factory reset'. Reboot. *SKIP TO SECTION 4A/4B* for further instructions.
10) Once the flashing is complete, it will take you to clockworkmod. DO NOT REBOOT. Navigate the recovery using volume and home buttons. Select 'Install zip from sdcard' and then 'choose zip from sdcard', navigate to 'gappsv7.1.zip.' Proceed to install the zip. Navigate back to main menu and select 'wipe data/factory reset' and say yes. Now select 'reboot system now'.
11) You should now have a stable, rooted ICS. BUT we need to get rid of all the bloatware before we can proceed. There is no set up screen. If your screen in all black when it boots up, that is fine. Reboot the phone. Reboot it again, just to be sure. Get Titanium Backup free either with market, or with the apk. You will need to set up your google account before you can download through market. Once you have Titanium Backup, the clean up begins. You will need to enable 'Unknown sources' under 'Security' and 'USB debugging' under 'Development' before you can use Titanium Backup.
12) Launch Titanium Backup it will ask for root and allow it. Click through the popups. Click the Backup/Restore tab. We begin from all the way dowm, so scroll down all the way. You can uninstall an app by clicking on the app and selecting "Un-install !" option. Click OK on any warnings you will see. Below is a list with the apps that I personally like to remove. It includes the "Samsung Hubs" because they mostly serve Chinese content.
Section (3) : The Bloatware list

That's it! Restart your Note and you should have a great, fully-functional ICS ROM! This procedure has been thoroughly tested by me and works every time. ALSO scroll down to check out the recommended apps for better functionality.
Section (4A) : TeamRocketROM ICS installation
****THIS SECTION IS TO BE FOLLOWED ONLY IF YOU WANT TEAMROCKETROM******
1) Once you are done with step 10 from Section (2) you should have the CF repack which forms the base for a lot of other ICS ROMs out there. So you absolutely NEED the cf repack running. If you don;t have it, go back to Section (2) and follow steps from 1 through 10.
2) Transfer the files "TeamRocketRom_ICS_Notev1.4_beta", "TeamRocketRom_ICS_Notev1.5_beta" and "Reworked_15ToggleBar_for_TeamRocketROM_v1.5" to you internal or micro sd. DO NOT UNZIP THEM. Turn off your phone and hold down volume UP, menu and power until you boot into clockworkmod recovery.
3) Now you need to perform a full wipe. Select "wipe data/factory reset" and yes. Now select "wipe cache" and select Yes. Go to advanced > Wipe dalvik cahe > Yes. Select back to go back to main menu.
4) Select "install zip from sd card" > choose zip from sd card > now navigate to the "TeamRocketRom_ICS_Notev1.4_beta" file. Remember it is *1.4*. Slect the file and proceed to flashing. After it is done flashing, perform a full wipe like we did in step 3 (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cahe). THIS IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL.
5) Once you are done performing the full wipe, go back to the main menu and hit "reboot system now". The phone will reboot, give it some time. Once it is up and running, quickly setup your google account.
6) Now turn the phone off and hold voulume UP, menu and power to get into cwm. Select "install zip from sdcard" > choose zip from sd card > now select "TeamRocketRom_ICS_Notev1.5_beta". Remember, THIS TIME IT IS V1.5. After it is done flashing, do not do any wipes. Go back to main menu and reboot the system.
7) Wait till the phone boots, it will take some time. Go settings and about to verify that you are running RocketROM v1.5. Now, for the final part.
8) Turn off your phone and hold down volume UP, menu and power until you boot into clockworkmod recovery. Select "instll zip from sd card" > "choose zip from sd card" > now select the "Reworked_15ToggleBar_for_TeamRocketROM_v1.5" zip file and let install. Once done, don't wipe anything. Go back to main menu and reboot system. Congrats! You are now running TeamRocketROM ICS v1.5.

5) After it is done flashing, perform a full wipe like we did in step 3 (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cahe), just to be sure. Go back to main menu and select reboot system now. Enjoy your criskelo ROM!
Section (5) : Getting back to your old Ginger Bread ROM :
If your having troubles and want to go back to your old GB ROM, this is how you restore. Credits to chasmodo for the instructions.
1. download AbyssNote 3.9 kernel from HERE | MIRROR. It's a flashable zip.
2. put this zip on your SD Card before you try to restore your previous system
3. when you want to restore, power off your phone
4. boot into recovery (Volume up + Home + Power)
5. chose 'install zip from SD Card'
6. navigate to your Abyss kernel zip and flash it
7. go back to the Recovery start menu
8. go to advanced/reboot recovery <--- this will reboot the phone directly to recovery
9. you will discover that you now have Hyperdroid Redpill Recovery - it comes with the Abyss kernel - it's pretty much the same thing as CWMR
10. wipe cache, dalvik, do your factory reset
11. start your restore, and it will work.
Section (6) : Recommended apps
- Go Keyboard - Great, highly customizable keyboard. Includes emoji, touch tone keypad, smileys and themes. Does not lag.
- Nova Launcher - Awesome launcher meant ONLY for ICS. Highly customizable with stock ICS look and feel. Very stable too. Includes persistent search bar, dock pages, etc. Original thread HERE.
- Winamp - Really good music player with great navigation and a good looking widget. Also includes lock-screen integration.
- Airdroid - This app is must have for anyone who want to sync their phone wirelessly over wifi. Free and awesome.
- MX Video - Excellent video player. Essential for this ROM because stock player does not function. Has great gesture controls and plays almost anything you throw at it.
- ROM Manager - ONLY IF you are having trouble with force closing apps and general freezes, get ROM Manager and run 'Fix permissions'. I recommend that you do not mess with any other option on ROM Manager unless you know what you're doing.
Section (7) : Tips, tricks and troubleshooting
-- 14 Button Toggle Bar : This is a very nifty little UI tweak by Chris X.. Original post here. It is basically a really cool looking Notification bar with a lot of toggles. I have included a screenshot below. This tweak also works on criskelo ROM. I haven't tested it with chainfire repack, but you are free to give it a try. CLICK HERE to download.
-- Get stock ICS icons for CF repack (Nova Launcher) :
For ICS icons on your Homescreen, download "Ice Cream Sandwich (theme)" by kovdev from Market. Now go back to your Nova Launcher homescreen, tap and hold the icon you want to change and hit edit. Now click on the icon, select "ADW Icon Pack" and proceed to select the appropriate icon. However, the icon will only change on the homescreen and not the app drawer.
-- SoD & Freezes : If you are getting random freezes and/or Screen of Death issues, remove your SIM and microsd, transfer all the required files to internal memory and start over. You can also try using clockworkmod or ROM manager to fix permissions.
Hit the Thanks button if this helps at all. All credit goes to everyone who deserves it. Especially Chainfire. And remember, hit the Thanks if it helps. Good day.
will this work on a non stock rom? ie. Romow v8, abyss kernal 4.0?
Im just waiting for the checkrom version of ICS

Yes. I assume you're already rooted? So you can just start from step 8. If you have a good baseband from Romow, I think you will be just fine.

Hello,
I have mobile odin pro which downloaded something I started an app for the first time ( i think it was flash kernel, but I'm not sure) ...
Do I need to install MobileODIN_FlashKernel_N7000-v2.0 ?
And I have stock KK5 rooted, that means I can start from step 8 ?
edit: just read the official Mobile Odin page here, and the last sentence states that only Lite users have to manually download flashkernel

Did you make a backup in cwm by any chance? If you didn't, you might just wanna start from step 1 again. Trust me, it wont take long now that you have done it once. I did the whole thing over just to write the guide. Took me about 30 minutes.
Edit. Hold on a sec! Did you say you just 'installed' the keyboard? Through market, right? If you did it by market and do not alter any system files with clockworkmod or root explorer then, you can boot into cwm by volume up, home and power and wipe your device. Everything should be back to normal after that. You won't lose root.
is there no way i can download any keyboards apks? i just need it so that i can sign onto my gmail account?

I thought your whole ICS was being unresponsive. Just do a wipe. Or get apks for a third party keyboard. Go keyboard is what I use. Just google "go keyboard apk download"

Yeah, it's a great keyboard. I have reduced the height of the keys by one unit in both portrait and landscape. I also have the emoji plugin, which is kinda cool. 0_o
Fail, I liked the new Gmail, but everything seemed so big, since I got used to 240 dpi, downloaded DPI Changer from Market, decreased DPI, and after that I couldn't boot
So I had to flash stock rom using Odin, and start over ...
Now I've just rooted stock rom, and waiting for battery to charge over 50%, since all these flashing and rooting sucked most of the juice out of it
Btw, the best keyboard in my opinion is "Thumb Keyboard"
So you're saying it's FULLY FUNCTIONAL? As in everything works just as well or close to the stock rom? Then no need for me to wait for the official release from Samsung?
If so, I'll do it baby.
I am amazed how smooth this rom is
So far its stable, we will see that in few days
Suddenly I saw that my hardware every data was remove how it?what can i do now?

can you share CD installer Xda lls pls. my CD broken i needed so badly..
thank you very much in advance....
godbless you...
I am making this tutorial as I have had multiple versions of the LG LTE Leon and have used many firmware versions. I have created a stable method that has the least issues as I have had trouble with the latest firmware (MS34510f) disabling my root privileges. I have created a MEGA account specifically for all of the files necessary to complete this operation and have your device run smoothly. So, please follow my instructions exactly as stated and you should not have any issues. THIS PROCESS WILL REMOVE ALL DATA NOT SYNCED, DO READ BELOW NOTES IT IS VERY BENEFICIAL
Important Notes:
+This process will wipe all data that is not synced, it is important to ensure that no newer LG process are still on the device. Some might argue to leave data, to that I say good luck keeping your root and tethering without the device becoming suspiciously unstable.
+ I am not GUARANTEEING this will work on every model, but I have had an extremely high success rate with all Leon versions.
+ In this tutorial the process in which I remove Kingroot and replace it with SuperSu is for system stability. I find that most root functions I use seem to not work properly. (Wifi Tether Router and many others). So, I do recommend doing so.
+After the new OS is installed a MetroPCS splash screen will appear even if you do have T-Mobile. DO NOT BE ALARMED this firmware will not limit any functionality you had before, it will even help with tethering functionality.
Tutorial:
Let's Begin.
1. Download the link posted to obtain required files for this tutorial
Link: https://mega.nz/#F!PM4CQRqb!92kgIOnD0ZBY-8HVbtTwGQ
2. Open up LGFlashTool2014.exe
Begin by copying settings posted below, then click "normal flash"
3. Next click the "START" button
4. At this time, I recommend you verify all sync settings are to your liking and that all personal info needed is backed up
a. You have the option to throw all of your personal documents/pictures onto your SD card and removing it appropriately
(Go to: Settings - Storage - [scroll down to] Unmount SD card)
b. Next, navigate to Settings -Backup & reset [leave options default; both checked off] - Factory data reset - reset phone
c. Once reset it will most likely reboot, wipe, and then back to a OS. Now, you will Power Off entirely (make sure it is not plugged in so it will not go to charging mode)
d. Here is where we will hold down the Volume Up button with the phone unplugged from your PC. Then you must plug the USB into your phone.
e. A black screen with white text should post onto your screen, here we will continue to step 6
note: If this screen does not appear please power off and retry step d.
6. Next, follow the posted settings. Make sure to click the "Clear phone Software update Registry" button Then click "OK"
7. A new screen will arrive, and should begin the firmware download process. At this time it will take a few minute to load and should reboot to a fresh OS.
8. With the new OS in place, you can either follow the setup tutorial now or skip through for a later setup.
note: you can now insert your SD card
9. In the tools folder of the folder you downloaded copy the "mrw" folder to the Main Storage folder of your phone
10. Now copy the Kingroot apk to your downloads folder located on the main storage.
11. Go to Settings - About Phone - Software Info
At this time click the build number box a few times until it says you are a developer
12. Hit back until you are at the Setting menu, click on Developer options and check off "Stay Awake" and "Enable OEM Unlock" as well as "USB Debugging"
13. You may now run Kingroot, if it does not install root the first time it should flawlessly install the next.
14. After root is obtained, please go to your home screen and click the "Google Search" widget. Press Update Google Services and let it run. After that has been updated search for terminal emulator and install.
note: If the Play Store is acting fishy and force closing while typing in the search bar do not fret it will be fixed after reboot in further instruction
as an allternative use the jackpal.androidterm-1.0.70-71-minAPI4.apk provided in the "tools" folder
15. Open terminal and in a new window type: Su
16. Allow root usage and at this time type: sh /storage/emulated/0/mrw/root.sh
17. It will run with a few failed messages do not worry it should open SuperSu momentarily
18. Once SuperSu opens up allow it to update binaries using the "NORMAL" option but DO NOT REBOOT YET
19. At this time either download TWRP Manager from the play store or alternatively use the com.jmz.soft.twrpmanager-7.5.1.3-82-minAPI11.apk provided in the tools folder
20. Install and open TWRP Manager. Once opened click on device name and scroll until you see "LG Leon LTE (c50)"
a. Click on Recovery Version to Install and select "twrp-2.8.7.0-c50.img"
b. next click "Install Recovery" and if prompted for verification of install path and for install version select "YES" & "NORMAL"
21. After the TWRP setup is complete it may prompt you to reboot, if not click the arrow in the top left of the TWRP Manager screen and scroll down to "Reboot" and select "Reboot device"
22. After Reboot click TWRP Manager and verify a SuperSu prompt comes up if it hasn't already before the boot
At this point the device should be running smoothly. From here I prefer to do the following steps.
My Personal Setup after new install:
+Personally I like to install use a Root Uninstaller (I use 3C Toolbox Pro) and Uninstall and Backup all MetroPCS BloatWare including the Metro Browser.
+I also access the Hidden Menu by using the Dialer and Dial "2776348*#*"
- I scroll down to ApnUnlock and click to "Unlock APN"
- Then I navigate to Settings -Tethering & networks - Mobile Networks (I check off roaming data) - Access point names

Hello XDA-Community,
I've got a Yoga Tab 3 Pro YT3-X90L from a customer.
He was telling me, that he wanted to unlock his device with the pattern, mismatched for several times and now its locked and requires the owners google account. Or something like that. He never had the owners google account. He told me that his seller has activated his device for him. And he has no clue who it was.
Now here is my part.
I've researched and obviously it's a FRP. The owners google account information are stored in the FRP-Partition. And this partition won't get deleted with a simple factory resett.
What i've tried so far:
1.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCzrnnh2K1w I was able to follow this tutorial to minute 9:08. But the option "Email and password" is not there anymore. I guess they patched it with 6.0.1.
2.) I tried to flash a stock rom or twrp with LenovoDownloader(QcomDLoader). The stock rom file is: Lenovo_Yoga_Tablet_3_YT3-X90L_ENG_S200028_1609230146. even its a german device this file was the only one i could find. But the LenovoDownloader won't recognize my device. The windows stays white, no entries. I guess i installed the correct driver for this device and Windows recognizes them as removable device if i plug it in via usb.
3.) I've tried to use adb and fastboot boot oem unlock. But this commands aren't working in locked state.
4.) With a trick i could open the Settings and was full of hope to active the developer options to set usb debbuging to active. But this developer options aren't available either with this "user".
5.) There is an apk for showing the "Email and password" interface. I could install it, but it force closes right after starting it.
6.) I've tried several tools to bypass this FRP: WinDroid Toolkit, D-G Unlocker, Realterm, but NOTHING.
What could i do further? I'm out of ideas right now.
I've read about a factory_update.img but i cant find anything, except the stock rom file, for this device.
Or downgrading the device, so i could use the "Email and password" but. But i can't even flash the stock rom.
Specs for the device:
Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 Pro YT3-X90L
Lenovo/YT3_l0_row_lte
6.0.1/MMB29M/LenovoYT3-X90L_S200307_170614
i appreciate any help i can get
greets

I've wrote it down. Hope this helps.
Situation:
"Confirm account: The device has been reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device. "
Explanation:
The device has been blocked by repeated input of the wrong password, pattern, etc. and can only be unlocked with the Google account of the owner.
A factory reset or hard reset does not help here, as the account information is saved in its own FRP partition and will not be deleted when the factory state is restored.
Solution:
1. Connect device to a Wi-Fi and Internet access.
2. Before confirming "Next", select another hotspot here
3. Go to "Advanced Settings" and change the proxy settings of any hotspot to Manual.
4. In the text input field of the proxy settings you enter now any word: e.g. Test
5. Now mark this word and select "Assist" in the context menu.
6. Selecting this "Assist" option opens the Google search application.
7. You can now not only browse the Internet through this search, but also search for and open installed programs.
8. We are looking for Chrome, open the internet browser, go to www.google.com and search for DPC test.
Link: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/sampl...-release/test-dpc-4-0-6-android-apk-download/
9. After downloading this application, go back to the Google search application.
10. Here we enter "Download" to search for the download application.
11. In Downloads we can now find and install the downloaded app.
12. To allow the installation of this .apk, you must allow the installation of "unknown sources" in the settings.
13. Either you go here on the installation itself on "Settings", or you search for "Settings" on the Google search app.
14. After completing the installation of the DPC-Test program, start it with "Open".
15. The app itself is will register as a device owner and now allows us to set up a new Google Account as owner.
16. If this is set up, it will also be included in the FRP partition.
17. In the event of a new factory reset, the device is reset, the DPC-Test program is removed and the device can be freshly set up in the factory settings.
after the takeover of the owner, the reason for blocking the device was not present anymore and the old owner was overwritten. This will be overwritten in the FRP partition aswell with the new account and the old one no longer queried.
You, mister, are my savior! Thank you very much.
Solve works for Lenovo Yoga 3 tablet
Just a big giant thank you! My dad passed away leaving me a Lenovo Yoga 3 tablet, unable to gain access due to information stored in the FRP partition. :highfive:

I marked the word and only that is offered on the top right side is : SELLECT ALL - CUT - COPY.
There is no ASSIST option . I don't know, maybe this tablet on my desk has a newer android version with that option removed...
Is there any other solution? Probably will be helpfull for me as well for someone who will have tjis problem in the future
Thx in advance

Keep it
Hi Lohtse,
This device is unique I spend days wake up without sleep to solve the problem of the apps and I realize something important
The problem is bad target system management by Microsoft development tools
Microsoft store is so dumb there is many helpful app but it want appear just by search
Some of the is apps "on papers" not match with your device system version but in reality you can install it and it will work
Now let me tell you it's not totally bad device if you get the exact apps on it, it will be almost like your laptop with many helpful staff
First
Check the latest updates and then you have to unlock the system so you can do some enhancements like:
Increasing Paging files from 256MB to 1GB
Transfer files via SFTP without using the USB cable
Uninstall official apps preinstalled like (Photos, Calculator..etc) -> you need this
And more..
Second
here list of apps you might have some of it but with old version:
Before you start just install the official AppInstaller to be able to install apps directly from the phone without alternative tool
Get it from here:

About Dual Boot & Windows 10 ARM
You know.. I broke my phone system more than 5 times one of them it was completely dead but I was able to recover it again,
the point is if you need to try go ahead it's good to see full windows run on a phone and able to run x86 apps as well.
But
Here is few points why it's not very important
Your mobile internal storage will be filled by 70% because of the windows partition
You need a usable phone to call and send messages, it's not comfortable to switch the boot each time
Windows 10 Mobile is almost the same base of the normal Windows it just Microsoft makes it useless but I hope someone will be able to install a service to run windows apps inside it as I discovered in Windows 10 ARM, I was surprised that some of x86 apps works very well.
If you faced any problem during the installation or you need any assist let me know.
Hi
WOW excellent response thank you so much for taking the time to reply as you have..
Could you possible explain this a little further
First
Check the latest updates and then you have to unlock the system so you can do some enhancements like:
Increasing Paging files from 256MB to 1GB

Uninstall official apps preinstalled like (Photos, Calculator..etc) -> you need this

As to navigation apps am more looking for OSM mapping as I create my own maps for hiking etc

Update
If you got a new phone usually many updates need to be installed, this will fix many problems and increase the performance.
Go to "Settings"
Update & Security
Check for update / Windows Update
if there is any update it will appear or you will see a message "Your device is up to date"
If the system need updates this will take some time, and it might be there is many update not only one so keep try until you get "Your device is up to date"
Unlock
Unlocking the system is based on your needs.
If you are using the phone for regular use you may keep it as it is.
What I was meaning with
Increasing Paging: Paging files will help to handle more applications in the background
SFTP: to transfer the data via wireless but it's totally optional you can still use the cable
Uninstall apps
If you tried to install the new version of i.e."Photos" it will not work because it's already installed.
so the solution is to remove the current app, but by default windows will not allow you to do that form the settings because it's built in.
As solution you can use "Interop Tools" by gus33000
Available Here:
Release Interop Tools v1 Version 2.1.7.0 (Legacy) ยท gus33000/InteropTools
This is the latest release of Interop Tools from its Version 1 source with minor updates.
github.com
More details: Interop Tools v1 Version 2.1.7.0
Install / Sideload it (Check the guide below)
And go to "General"
Then Select "Applications"
Then Navigate to "Package List"
Search for the app you need to remove it.
You will see many packages related to the same app
In the bottom actions bar there is "4 lines" icon click on it to activate it.
Now select the packages you need to remove.
Click on the trash icon and wait until the app removed
Go to main screen to check if the app removed
If it's remove you can now install the new version
Note: I'm not sure if these steps works without unlocking I didn't tried before unlock, just try before to unlock it might work.
Install apps
Now Download the apps form the links and save them in custom folder.
Go to your device Settings
Select "Update & Security"
Select "For Developers"
Select "Developer Mode"
Activate "Turn on remote diagnostics"
Activate "Authentication"
Using your computer: open the browser and enter the link that appeared in the developer page in your phone
if you got security warning message ignore it and continue (it's normal)
On your phone press "Pair" Button you will see pin code
Enter this pin code in your browser page and click "Submit"
Now you can install the app called "AppInstaller" using the web page
Once you able to install "AppInstaller" you can almost install the other apps from you mobile directly.
Note your device and computer need to be on the same network
OSM Mapping
to be honest I never used it before so I will do some search about it.
If I got anything new will let you know.
I wish most of the descriptions is clear, if you need extra details please let me know.

This version requires downloading the extensions after logging in to insidewindows.net because there is no General - Applications option in the menu by default.
Have you tried the open source Interop Tools v1 Version 2.1.7.0 made by @gus33000?

Increase the paging file (required unlocked device):
Open Interop Tools
Go to "Registry"
Select "Registry browser"
Select "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HKLM)"
Select "System"
Select "CurrentControlSet"
Select "Control"
Select "Session Manager"
Select "Memory Management"
Select "Paging File"
Now In "Registry Value Data" Change The numbers from 256 to 1024
The final value will be "u:\pagefiles.sys 1024 1024"
Click on the "right icon at the bottom" to save the result
To check if the result saved just reopen the "Paging File" again, If the result back to the original "256" maybe your device is not unlocked yet.
Reboot the device to apply the changes.
Change Screen timeout:
Open Interop Tools
Go to "Registry"
Select "Registry browser"
Select "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HKLM)"
Select "Software"
Select "Microsoft"
Select "Settings"
Select "Lock"
Select "DisableNever"
Set "Registry Value Data" to 0
Then go to settings and check "Never" will be available now with some extra values.

To be able to edit some of the protected registry values you need to do "Interop Unlock"
"Interop Unlock" will allow you to do almost everything you need.
Don't activate "Full Filesystem Access" In "Unlock" -> "Interop Unlock" it will not work with Lumia 950/XL and it might affect on the usb connection.
If you didn't find a clear guide for "Interop Unlock" let me know I will write a full guide based on my experiment because some of the details online line is very clear.

Thank you for that information worked a treat.
I have read that the FM radio is not activated on the 950xl, is this correct is so how do I reactivate it?
also is there away to have a bigger tile other than the three choices we have?

The radio is working by default, try this app (almost the best you could find)
Radio FM Phone
Sadly the tiles sizes are fixed as I know, if you want to add some design to the start page you can use this app
Group Tiles
and this app if you want to add custom tiles based on your needs
edgeTile
Check the attached image to see how I did some titles to organize the start page.

Thank you for that... and radio works great... Have to say am loving the 950xl.... only thing I am really missing is a good off route navigation/mapping app if I could find a good one then everything would be nearly perfect.
also is there away to install the original lumia camera app so we can get flash control(number of flashes used ) back?
finally how do I gain full access to the file system on the device???
does any one have the file for this
Lumia Cinemagraph (Official Store)
Cool app you can take photo and make part of it alive with repeated motion, just try it
microsoft.com/en-us/p/lumia-cinemagraph/9wzdncrfhx4d
will not let me download it from store to device as says not compatible with this device

It should work, ignore the compatible message just check the following:
the apps updated including "Microsoft Store" from "Menu" -> "Donwloads and updates"
there is no remaining system updates "Settings" -> "Windows update"
check if there is a "Get" button sometimes it's appear even of there is a compatibility message, click on the button if you found it.
If nothing above worked do the following:
Go to your PC
Be sure you are using the same email/account in both "Phone/PC"
Open the browser and be sure you are logged to your account/email
Open the link of the app
click on "Get"
a message will appear "you own this app"
once you get this message go back to your phone
Open Microsoft store -> Menu
Select "My Library"
Check if the app is there (you can sort the library by name which is better)
Click "Install" behind the app icon
The problem is some of the apps does not appear in Phone store but it will appear in PC store
so this trick will help you to get many apps in the same way,
but I think it will work only with the browser not the desktop app.

As per my experiments, gain the full access to the file system is not a big deal.
the files are protected anyway and some of the important folders assigned to custom users you can't have access, even if you was able to force replace the ownership of the folder and open it.. it will cause some issues with the system.
if you have something really important in the future it's better to use Mass Storage Mode, but accessing the file system while windows is running almost useless.
just don't use the feature in "Interop Tools" which called "Full Filesystem Access" I tried it before and it caused a problem with the connection with the computer I wasn't able to access the storage
