Great news. After that can we install another bootloaders like u-boot? Sorry for my bad english.

It seems that Samsung Mafia told them to delete the thread.

And they as the "puppits" does that. It seem that we need free and open source forum!!! One day community will be free or destroyed. Yes, it is - Samsung is mafia. Sorry for my bad english and that articulation.

Not surprising. He had proprietary signing certificates in there.

Thread closed, see the linked thread in the OP for more info.

CyanogenMod official support request

Hi all!
Polish community (lgswift.pl and android.com.pl) started an action on official CyanogenMod forums about adding GT540 to supported devices list.
There is maaaany Swift/Optimus users all around the world so if we will speak together as one maybe we will get what we want and deserve
I hope you would help by posting in: forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/7108-lg-optimus-gt540/
Sorry for bypassing links but its not spam and moderation of n00bs will be better
If its wrong place for this topic please move it ^^
Sorry for my bad english
I'll try to spread this into the bulgarian forums !
People
we have to fight for themselves. The more people the better it is typed. Team CyanogenMod may finally be interested in our phone. You can also do petitioners in this case. Who is behind this let him write here.
I'm sorry I write with translator.
pass this link around and when we have enough signed up ill email CM devs to see what they say

CM Team got interested in supporting our device but... there is another case T.T
We need project maintainer and the source code must be published.
Unfortunately Mur4ik refused when he was asked to become the maintainer.
Oh. I'm not ready atm to be a maintainers for our device and regularly support for new CM changes.
Maybe in future.

Here is his explanation, but I think he will be a right person in right place
Another user from lgswift.pl has sended request to Joestone (We will see what he think about it soon, I hope), but he has his own project...
The other ideas was to ask Ankuch or Quarx, but they have different devices now so I dont think they will be interested (but who knows).
There was also the idea to ask arekl1988 who created v20a_openpl_fastboot.kdz rom.
Anyway without Mur4ik's source codes the support won't be possible so he is our only hope
Yep arek created fastboot rom, and ported Amon Ra recovery... but he haven't got time and knowledge
Quarx don't have diffrent device but he gt540 is broken... he collect money for new swift
Sorry for my english

[ROOT][SECURITY] Root exploit on Exynos

Hi,
Recently discover a way to obtain root on S3 without ODIN flashing.
The security hole is in kernel, exactly with the device /dev/exynos-mem.
This device is R/W by all users and give access to all physical memory ... what's wrong with Samsung ?
Its like /dev/mem but for all.
Three libraries seems to use /dev/exynos-mem:
/system/lib/hw/camera.smdk4x12.so
/system/lib/hw/gralloc.smdk4x12.so
/system/lib/libhdmi.so
Many devices are concerned :
Samsung Galaxy S2
Samsung Galxy Note 2
MEIZU MX
potentialy all devices who embed exynos processor (4210 and 4412) which use Samsung kernel sources.
The good news is we can easily obtain root on these devices and the bad is there is no control over it.
Ram dump, kernel code injection and others could be possible via app installation from Play Store. It certainly exists many ways
to do that but Samsung give an easy way to exploit. This security hole is dangerous and expose phone to malicious apps.
To be continued ...
In attachment, binary and source for root shell.
Pretty cool and advanced method, thanks on the source of it. One had to actually come up with that or find the exploit even. Ironical since there's comments in the ramfs init files warning to set the permissions correctly.
Might be more meaningful if you posted this in the original development forum or the Note 2 developer talk forum as more people might be interested in it.
Posted too in GN2 and maybe a moderator could move this one to original development to avoid multiple post
it would be fantastic to have an apk for root

[Tutorial] Zenfone 2 ZE551ML - Unlock BootLoader

[Tutorial] Zenfone 2 ZE551ML - Unlock BootLoader
mod edit:
NO downloads allowed from ANY "survey site"
NO fake downloads allowed.
This is XDA - not some advertising playground, period.
To unlock the boot loader on your Asus Zenfone 2 Ze551ml you need to wait for something real.
Oh wow, anybody want to try this? I'm too lazy and drunk to do so lol
Try if you want a bricked device.
Change device name in link (example ze550ml or cl550ml and you have the same tuto with the same files and same comments).
THIS IS FAKE... PLEASE CHECK THE SOURCE FIRST (FAKE WEBSITE) ... PEOPLE ARE COMMENTING "THANKS FOR THE ROM" ON BOOTLOADER UNLOCKING TOOL... I MEAN SERIOUSLY CHANGE OR I SHOULD SAY FAKE THE COMMENTS....
PLEASE EVERYONE WAIT FOR THE OFFICIAL TOOL WHICH WILL BE RELEASED BY ASUS... AND WHENEVER IT IS RELEASED IT WILL BE ON XDA-FORUMS...TILL THAT TIME DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON THESE FAKE WEBSITES AND HARM YOUR DEVICE... AND GUYS IS THERE SOME WAY WE CAN REPORT THIS WEBSITE....I AM REALLY STARTING TO HATE THIS WEBSITE NOW...
MODS: Please review this thread... UNNECESSARY CONFUSION AND WASTE OF THREAD...
relax dude, no need for all caps. mods will be deleting this later i'm sure

sorry bro my bad... i don't know i saw this website like hundred times here on xda... i am really starting to hate this and people are not even checking the source first and posting...i was confused at first i thought Asus released the tool... Same can happen with any user be it novice or a senior member... and the source font is so small anyways you were right i should relax about it :laugh:
I wonder why it's taking Asus so long to release the Unlock tool? I'm a really big Asus fan but if they dont release it...I might switch back to Sammy
Reported the thread, please give links which you tried and verified , not some fake unverified links
Fake installer, I've seen that website before.
OP edited, thread closed.
Obvious fake was obvious, "survey site," not on XDA on my watch. Thanks for playing. Good night now.

How to install windows on Yoga 2 10 - 1050F?

I can't speak well english. (sry)
I have lollipop rooted, unlock bootloader. 1050F
and OTG cable, PS/2 to USB cable (I can enter bios), usb 32GB
I searched. but, nowhere guide
Can I install windows on my Yoga table 2 10?
I regret that buying an Android version. I want windows 10..
and Can I come back to Android?
you cannot install windows on this model as it has an locked bootloader
you should not play with that stuff as when you use that way of accessing the bios you have no valid bootloader (as the ESP partition files are missing), and if for some reason the dnx protocol is screwed you will have no way of flashing anything and this means you will have an equivalent of a hardware bricked tablet (you will have to send it to Lenovo support)
the bios you are entering is useless as you cannot activate any option on it (you can only go Up/Down with volkeys on it) and the keyboard will not work as the driver for that is not activated (the keyboard works on this model only after a kernel is started)
ps. you do not have an unlocked bootloader, i thought we have already clarified that in the previous thread posts (rooted != unlocked)
ps2. why should one want a windows on a tablet beats me (is the same as having a linux only), attaching wings to a bicycle... how will you work with that? you will carry around a keyboard/mouse? for now android is, no matter of our love or hate for it, the best os choice for touch devices (phones/tablets), sure one can extend android with the linux arsenal of tools (or even have android running on linux , but that's another story)

thank you!
I think - If I can flashing(It is not the rooted) == unlocked, I was wrong.(think) now, I think my bootloader is locked or unlocked (check no way..)
I did not fully understand. but, I was most understanding.
Come to think, Android is also good.
It has been very helpful.
now, I will install Linux (on Android)
@ionioni, its funny u say all and had a thread with a solution. That's makes no sense. U was searching for testers and I write u a PN, nothing came back. U see the Community want it and searches for this. I think u just want some attention.
So please don't answer something like this. I have time now and search now my own solution.
In my eyes u are a liar.

the fact that you cannot read and understand (right) i guess has nothing to do with it
the thread you mention is closed (at my request) and one could understood that i no longer need testers (but i guess not you)
(ever heard of things like "this beta period has expired"?)
edit:
also, your lack of logic in considering that if i didn't answered your email it automatically means that what i told regarding unlocking wasn't true is impressive. and yes i have seen the email and choose to ignore it due to the many "U"'s and alike/worthless, all in all not what i needed. as said, the "beta" is over since the day i asked the mod to close the thread (and your marvel PM was sent a week after), however, at this moment, considering the low interest shown in "beta" and the i****s (what could be there?) like you i will not make the result public, instead i will distribute that based on my personal/confirmed people (for now only @workdowg) selection. i did this in a moment when i needed it for my own personal use and the fact that i did a call for testers was only a proof for my generosity
now go read a book ... your post above is a complete mess, one can very hard follow what you say, except that you're pissed

First - seems to me @ionioni was very polite stating why Windows cannot be installed on the Android versions of these tablets (which was the question). And the OP also responded thankfully.
Secondly - A liar??? His search for beta testers was disappointing. He only got 2 real responses ( myself - 1050F and 1 other 830F) that were willing to do the work a BETA tester needs to do to get results. Maybe (you?) and a few other basically said ... gimme, gimme.
And not for nothing the one guy did some testing and disappeared off the face of the Earth. And me... Well I'm unlocked and running Android ON Linux now. So the testing was a "partial success" (probably could work on all yt2 devices though).
Thank you, irrelevant rant over.
I said at first I will test, u thanked that post. Look in ur profile. Even that I don't care when my Device bricks, I had a ISP switch so I needed some time.
You are the Person that posted around that someone will test it. I said yes.
I never see something legit about this Y2 Linux thing. Just posts. I'm sorry that I hurt feelings when I said liar, but nothing came back to Community, expect, I have it, and a closed thread. We are small number of Members on this device. So don't close ur self in a house and say, I have it and u don't. This is just not fair.
I post the last time now, I can test all stuff u want on the 1050L!

And BTW, I'm not pissed, but XDA is always the same s**** over and over. Look at Bump for G3.
When u and workdog have a nice time together, it's OK.
And for the sentence read a book, I prefer u "Knigge" on page stands that a answer on letter is always needed.
This means, if u just answered me, and said, OK I have already a tester, I don't need one, I never created that post #3.
Gesendet von meinem LG-D855 mit Tapatalk
ok, this is my last action on your garbage... here or elsewhere
1. i never thanked you for anything, check (it's simple, just go here and click on 'Most thanked' you should be able to do it and while at this maybe you understand why i would have not accepted you as a tester anyways)
2. i don't/didn't have to prove anything to you or anybody else, this was my work and i get to choose who will benefit, you didn't hurt but my time that's wasted in writing this answer
3. i don't need you to test anything, you came too late anyways, the "beta" was closed and even if it weren't i wouldn't do it with you ( it's not just a matter of installing an app or flashing a rom)
4. yeah, workdowg is a cool guy and way way above the average "gimme gimme" user (i have worked well with him during the trials, although i have screwed/bricked things up at some point, but luckily he's a patient person) as most of the users in the threads know already
5. i don't have to answer your (expired) pm's more than i have to answer the spam in my email
6. you were the one who started ranting in this thread on a completely off-topic subject about something that nobody asked/cared about i.e. how frustrated you are about this and that (btw the post is #4)
have a nice life
U are a little bit offense my friend.
Last post to this story, a answere that the thread was closed, because!!! U have enough testers, will be a other thing as just closing it.
The resoan why don't want me as tester, Is nothing about i care! I have 3000 post on a German forum, have a knowledge over Android, I can made own stuff etc. So please stop too call me between the sentences as a stupid User that just want the stuff. I
And in not that type of user as u call me, I donate a coffee or beer for good stuff on XDA like Bump.

Asus and Sony have provided guides and programs to unlock the bootloader of its products. We ask Lenovo to release the process to unlock the tablet.
Any update on the situation now that we have a bootloader unlock method?

Yes.
Okay. bootloader can be unlocked, Bios can be activated and menues can be choosen. Is that right? Im not familiar with the tablets bios/uefi but couldn't there be any chance to boot any windows version (internal/external)? Maybe , now that it apears that other linux versions can be installed, is it possible to install even something like a grub bootloader and then manage to boot to windows? Perhaps this is a bit to naiv to say but there seems to be a small chance.
Just picked up a 1050f cheap ($50AU) and my first 'how to get Windows installed' lead to this. Is it even possible?
I just found this thread, becuase I got an Lenovo Tablet 2 as a present from my sister.
After searching around, I found the bootloader-unlock by surdu_petru.
Also I found out that you can change settings in the bios with the lollipop-system.
So shouldn't we now be able to install Windows/Linux on this tablet.
Shouldn't we now be able to flash a dd-image from any Lenovo Tab 2 Windows, and boot it ?

Thank you for your post, @neverapple88
I know about A.O.L .. and there is no installer downoadable anymore. I think it's a great idear and shows how powerful and versatile our device is.
I think that you could use aol to repartition or device and boot windows with it, but the rist in bricking the device is very very high.
It's really a shame, that lenovo did not include the usb-drivers into the bios, because now you should only be able to boot things on the internal storage.
Also the Bios has a file manager, but cant show any files :/
btw. the DEV-Thread only talks about using ubuntu to compile the cyanogenmod rom

Change IMEI after flash bricked YB

Hi, I had to flash my yb1-x90l since it was bricked. Now I have a bad IMEI. Is it possible to change IMEI with that printed on the YB package?

Hi. Look at the link mod edit: link removed
Only there all in Russian.
See video from 10 minutes
The thread got closed since changing your IMEI is illegal and therefore threads like this one aren't allowed on xda (c.f. the forum rules).
The Forum Rules said:
9. Don't get us into trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things which will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably shouldn't do it here either. This does not mean that we agree with everything that the software piracy lobby try to impose on us. It simply means that you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with the legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users and those that write great code.
