Hi All,
I spotted Yoga Tablet 8 / 10's open source code on the Lenovo Support website.
I would like to overclock the MT8125 processor from 1.2GHz to 1.5GHz. I've tried Framaroot and Master CPU hopping to overclock the CPU. Unfortunately, it doesn't work as it doesn't allow me to change the maximum frequency.
My question is how can I extract the kernel from the open source? I read about flashing a kernel that support overclocking. Is it possible to customize the kernel to support overclocking?

I really hope that you can help me..
Thanks in advance..

If someone manages to do this, I will be eternally thankful to them, provide a celebratory wallpaper and chant their name all night long. (Well, actually just the first two, but I hope this doesn't discourage any potential devs )
Seriously though: I've been thinking about getting the Yoga, but I really think I don't want the stock ROM. Therefore I would love to see CM ported for it, and I'm willing to help (although not an Android developer, I am a programmer, I know my way around and can help with testing and perhaps some other stuff as well.)

Go for it it's a great tablet and once you get used to stock rom it's not that bad and you can always use go launcher if you want a different look only thing I would improve is the rom and processor speed
Yeah, we just got a Yoga 10 for our office that we won in a contest. As soon as I powered it up, I looked at it, and then went and immediately downloaded Nova launcher, set Nova actions to fast, then I enabled developer options, and and set all animations to .5
It is better now, but I would love to be able to a custom rom on here.

Wow.. thanks for that tip .. makes my yoga so much more bearable to use. If only lenovo had a better screen and stock UI.. they would have had a killer tablet...

I'm looking for the same thing. i would be happy with a near stock android rom even anywhere from 4.1 to 4.4
to get you started though, check out this post i made asking about it. i got some help and got TWRP recovery installed which is kind of a first step, but there are still no roms i can find for it. NANDroid backups can at least be made though so if you want to play around with xposed framework you can restore from a soft brick.

I have a yoga 10 and I am ready to test any custom roms which are (if) available out there. I don't mind bricking the device as I hate the stock ROM
Hi, is this thread limited to Yoga 8 wifi or for 3G versio as well?
.
No, both , I no longer have this tablet though as it was faulty so sent back
Hello all,
The Yoga 10 and S6000-F seem to share the exact same specs (aside from the batteries), so the question is whether one could safely flash the 4.4 rom onto the S6000 to partake in the Kitkat goodness?
I don't believe this question has been asked before, but if it was, my apologies in advance. Thank you.
I also considering about installing Yoga Tablet 10 Firmware to S6000-H but flashing this version would be corrupt maybe device
I've a spare s6000 I'm willing to try it on if someone could point me to KK download and a guide to install it. I'm used to CWM/TWRP so not a complete n00b but have only rooted my s6000.
Anyone? Willing to accept CWM backup of your tablet if you've just wiped it before doing a backup.
Many thanks
Adrian
Finally managed to download the Yoga firmware from the Russian site. Tried to install just the boot.img and recovery.img - borked the tablet. Fortunately I know how to use fastboot and managed to recovery it with a backup I made earlier.
So, it might be possible mucking about with scatter files etc but just a plain old install won't work. You have been warned.
Many thanks
Adrian
Thank you very much for your try. Too bad just the install of Yoga firmware didn't work, maybe that would have been a to easy solution for us S6000 user. :laugh:
So there's no much hope left for an upgrade or custom firmware left I think.
Android L should be out soon so I've started looking at that. Ideally MTK will release the proper drivers etc. - here's hoping...
Many thanks
Adrian
Hello and thank you for reading this.
I'm seeking for help because I don't know if I will break my telephone by doing so. I recently discovered that Kali Nethunter works on Oneplus2 and I heard that it's possible to dual boot with the Dual boot patcher app.
I was thinking about combining the 2 things: I would like to boot Kali nethunter with the OxygenOS rom but I don't know if that will break my device. What shall I do? Did anyone tried to do that? And if someone did, did that work?
Thank you for your kindness
Hello guys,
this is my first post. Since today I´m a proud owner of a Galaxy Tab A (SM-T510 with 64 GB ROM and 3GB RAM, newest stock android build T510XXU2ASK5, never connected to internet yet).
I want to install Nethunter OS or Kali Linux (if possible) on this and read many hours in the internet but there are some questions:
Has anyone flashed the SM-T510 with Nethunter OS? (if this isn´t possible, a way to just use the kali apps is fine too but not my first choice)
Is it possible to flash directly to the ROM instead to a SD Card?
Which type of processor has the tablet? I think it is amd64 not arm, right? Maybe I could try to flash a Nethunter Image for Galaxy Tab S4 but I´m sure this doesn´t work cause the processor is not exact the same... (https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-nethunter-download/)
I found this thread about Kali Linux installation but I would find a direct installation better https://forum.xda-developers.com/hardware-hacking/hardware/devices-kali-linux-installation-t3414523 (If I can´t install directly, can I use this guide for my device after I rooted it?)
A few years ago I flashed Android on a SD-Card for my HTC Kaiser 130 (still working fine), so I have a little experience about flashing and so on but flashing this tablet looks a little bit more difficult to me, so I want as much information as possible cause I have only one try (in the baddest scenario)
I hope you can help me.
Thanks for reading! (I´m from germany, so I´m sorry for my bad english)
Edit: I have found UserLAnd and will try it now, if someone has a better suggestion, feel free to post it
Where'd you get the idea that this was an AMD64 tablet? All Samsung Galaxy Tab As are ARM, The T510 has an Exynos 7904 or 7885 SoC. And I've never heard of anyone porting a Linux distro to one.

Thanks for your answer lewmur, I just read it is a 64bit proc and thought it is amd64, my last tablet is some years old and I just thinked the technical development is quicker... ^^
Hmm... sounds like bad news, I just googled yesterday and it is a Exynos 7904, yes you´re right. That means it is closed source, damn.
In this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-m30/help/hope-custom-rom-development-m30-exynos-t3910256) I found someone who maybe has kernel source, I will write him. Maybe where is a way to build a Nethunter image by myself. I have tested UserLAnd on the tab and I don´t really like it, it´s not smooth.
On monday I will go to the shop where I buyed the tab and try to give it back, maybe they have goodwill, then I will buy online a nexus tablet, looks much more easier.
Thank you anyway, maybe someone has some more good tipps for me.
I have downloaded this
nethunter-2021.3-generic-armhf-kalifs-full.zip
and flashed it with TWRP on my Rooted Device and it works on SM-T510 Android 11 StockROM
Hello,
So I got a Lenovo Smart Tab (yt-x703f) and really want to flash TWRP to it, so I can flash LineageOS rom, but it seems like there's no support for it, or even a subthread on XDA.
(I tried various twrp images)
Anyone got some experience with that tablet and have something working?
Cheers
For some reason this device gets the silent treatment on all fora. I can't figure out why, this could be a great multimedia device with some adjustments. batt life is great as is the sound. Screen is ok ish and the speed needs to be tweaked, but no one is willing to tweak
You can root the device and even flash a GSI on it. Tested myself and everything is working
Yoga Smart Tab - Iron GreyPart Number: ZA3V0005US
Not sure if we are talking about the same device but lenovo does not support their mid tier devices with OS updates and would like to install a bloatless OS also pie is really dated and wondering if i will run in to issues with app compatibility. There is also that issue where it won't run HD in netflix because netflix is a static app and can not be removed and reinstalled. Hence bloatware and would love a clean google experience.

Flashing a GSI might help if the device supports Project Treble. Basically any device launched with Android 8 and above should support Project Treble.
Hi, I have a Lenovo Yoga smart tab (YT-X705L) and I want to install a new rom on it. I’m not an IT wizard so I need help with that. Would you find anyone who can give step-by-step instructions from start to finish with download links.
And if you can find experiences on how anything works (which is GSI). Thanks in advance.
