So i rooted my Yoga tab just a few hours ago and it went great. Booted back in and installed some apps and started to remove some apps. I rebooted the tablet shortly after and got stuck in some bootloop at the title screen. (Lenovo for those who do) It boots three times and then its just black with some flickering.
I got in to recovery and did (probably really, really stupid) a reset of data and cache. figure that will solve everything. It didn't. But it did not however make it works. Still the same bootloop.
if i leave it on for like 10 minutes, the screen where you choose language and time comes up but i can't press anything. Then everything goes black and flickers.
I was on stock kitkat when this happened and I've searched all around the internet for answers. I don't understand half of the things a read. Reflashing a new bios and fastboot what not. Almost every link in every thread is dead.
I need help and i hope you can help me with a solution too how i can get my tab up and running.
I have no back ups what so ever because i'm stupid so i need just hard reset everything not worrying about saving anything. (didnt have anything on the tab anyways)
Info again:

Hello !
You should try to flash stock KitKat Lenovo Firmware with IntelFlashTool !
Also, you should install some intel drivers : Intel® USB Driver for Android* Devices & iSocUSB-Driver-Setup .
KitKat Firmware must be available under Lenovo site !
Put your device in DNX mode ( press & keep at the same time all three hardware buttons , when device reboot just release power button ... you will see soon "Fastboot starting..." , right now you can release volume up & down ) - connect your device via USB with your desktop and start Intel Flash Tools . Just unpack stock KitKat Lenovo Firmware and select under Intel Flash Tools , Flash file : "flash.xml" from Lenovo Firmware !
Good luck !

Thanks for your help.
Unfortunately, i think it made i made it worse
The flash stopped at 70% and now i'm stuck in a bootloop at the first power up screen.
Can you still get in to fast boot,and are you sure you were on KitKat rom.
try and start your tab in normal fastboot mode (from the recovery console select 'reboot to bootloader' or use from power off the combo keys Pwr & Vol+ or Pwr & vol- one of these two should bring you to the Fastboot/Droidboot menu) and from there tell me what the ifwi entry says... BLADE_21....
Problem solved!
I had to check "Force fastboot sparsing" and change it to 500MB in FlashTool and then it worked. Everything is now up and running.
Thanks for your replies.

Bios Downgrade Tool Query
Hi mate, sorry for such a late reply but I'm struggling trying to get the bios downgrade tool to work on my tablet. Its plugged in and the "fast boot starting" message is showing but when I click on the tool on my pc and start it, nothing changes with the tablet. Is there an obvious step I am missing? Kind of new to this.
Thanks
Hello chaps. Random question. I have searched and searched for an answer but cant find a 100% reliable one. Can our 1050F 10.1 inch run Ethernet on the OTG? I have been liaising with Lenovo tech support via email for 5 weeks now and they are certain it can but I cant get it going with my Plugable OTG/Ethernet adaptor. So, what say you folks? Thanks.
On the Lollipop.

Need Urgent help!
My Lenovo A6000Plus is soft bricked. It was running Android Kitkat & I did not update to Lollipop, also USB debugging is not enabled. Phone won't boot, can't go to recovery mode. I can go to download mode that's it. please give me some suggestion. I tried to research in the forums, but there are lot of threads, I don't know which is the right one for me.
Device information:
Model: Lenovo A6000 Plus.
Hi Everyone,
My tablet is Lenovo B8080-F model, 16GB with Wifi. I got it rooted and installed TWRP on it. I was so over excited about this and wanted to flash custom ROMs on it. I searched and could not get the proper ROM for the B8080-F, in my eagerness, I decided to flash the ROM for Lenovo A3000. Since then my tablet could not boot up again. It got stuck at the Lenovo logo. My windows system can still detect the tablet when plugged to the PC, but ADB DEVICES command shows nothing.
I need help. I need step-by-step guides on how to revive the tablet. I appreciate.
Muyiwa.
Update:
My PC can detect the device. It is shown as Android ADB Interface under Windows Device Manager. There is no COM Port.
If I type: adb devices
Response: ? Unauthorized.
Please help!
Thanks.
Muyiwa.
Ouch
Me too, i need help
I actually have such an tablet lying around. Haven't been used in five years. Never got custom ROMs, right? I don't think Lenovo ever bothered to upgrade from Kitkat.
