Hey guys,
So I found my Lenovo Ideapad K1 wifi model in some drawer. I gave this to my sister before she got a smartphone. She took it with her to my country. Suffice to say the back cover is kind of loose, the volume down button is gone and I am surprised the screen even works. So after making sure all works I did a factory reset on it and then it hit me, it is still one 3.2 Honeycomb. I am hering that google will cut support to older androids (i.e. anything bellow 4.0). So since the tablet is working fine I want to re-purpose it! I found a kit-kat rom based on CM10 which is more than enough to give it more like, my only problem is without the functioning volume down button how do I boot into recovery to even root it?
Is it rooted ?
There are many apps available in the store which will reboot the system into recovery mode. One such is the ROM manager.
Where did you manage to get the Kitkat ROM for K1?
Can you please share the details?

Hi,
Can you please share the CM10 KitKat ROM for K1, please?
We have resumed discussion for K1 Rom at the thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357353&page=46
Lenovo TAB M10 is a cheap 10" tablet. It seems that currently there are no custom ROMs for it. Given the fact that Lenovo will probably never provide software update for it, without custom ROM, it will become a paperweight fast.
So, I wonder how likely if someone creates an unofficial LineageOS build for it in about a year or so. Are Lenovo's tablets generally hard to create a custom ROM for?
Let's say that it would be nice to have a custom rom, but first a recovery would help.
I am trying to develop something, but unfortunately I have no experience building the vendor/device folders required, fundamental to perform this activity.
Moreover, considering that the device is still pretty new, I don't know.
Tbh, I was thinking about installing debian or archlinux on it: mine has no 3g, and a pure Linux would likely extend the device supported
Any updates to M10 custom ROMs...?
The partial good news is that Lenovo has actually provided an Android 10 update, and TWRP is available for the M10. As far as I can tell there are still no custom roms though; I'd love to put LineageOS on it.
M10 FHD Plus user here... I've unlocked the bootloader, installed twrp and magisk, but where can I find custom roms?
I flashed Ubuntu Touch on my M10 FHD Plus a few days ago. The process was alright, though I had some trouble using SP flash utility. Didn't need to use TWRP. Charging is abysmally slow, so there's definitely room for improvement of the ROM's compatibility with the device.
Here are the resources I used:

SP flash V5 works better than v6, at least on my linux machine.

Any news to this so far? I found a guide on tweakdroid but to me that looks like it's autogenerated nonsense. I would try it though, if nothing comes up anywhere else
I would like to buy it... Is it dead in modding?
I've got an opportunity to get a new t380 for free. Can anyone tell me if the OS can still be updated from nougat to pie? Also, considering this is a 2017 build, is it even worth the effort?
Thanks for your thoughts,

Hello, Yes, the device has Android Pie One UI, it is also possable to get twrp and get masigk running, though you will most likey want to stick to Android Nougat beacuse in Android Pie, Masigk is not installing. But this can change. Also there is no custom roms for the 2017 Tab A, but this can change. The tablet will most likey not get android 10, but aleast you will get longer support on Android Pie than on Android Nougat.
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.

Hello @mrfreakFIN . I have made a detailed thread about flashing GSI on this tablet. Check it here
so I have been wondering if there is a workaround to get through bootloader locks to go back to Android 8.1 on the 2017 J5
I have heard that it's possible to do so but I believe it is impossible to do so.
Are there still downloads for the stock android 8 ROM for this phone that can be flashed via TWRP? since that bypasses the bootloader locks I think and the only option I found had all broken download links so that was not an option. I do not want any ports since I have an S9 port of android 8 for this J5 series but its absolute garbage with audio issues and random lockups
Thanks in advance!
Have a great day
