We've updated a bit....
Download Link: [Here]
We now have a complimentary app on the app store for this A4D App.
What is A4D?
The goal of A4D is for us to move beyond just N1 make it an all in one flashing/upgrading/android utility. We just added a ROM library with MD5s. We are not going to be hosting the actual ROMs by themselves so if you report a dead link, they will be taken down (after a number of reports). You can also add your own ROMs as well into the library.
The ROM library will be supported by both Android and Desktop App. We are rewriting the Desktop apps so that we can do all 3 platforms in one, Linux, Windows, and Mac. You'll love the layout of the app. That's all we can say for now.
Oh one more thing. The android app won the best android app award at the Mobile in the Middle Hack-a-thon over the weekend in Chicago (on 3/6/2010).
I would like you guys to try out the app and tell us feedbacks. Also feel free to add your own ROMs to the Database and tell us how we can make the DB better. There a number of features we are trying to add as well. But with our full time jobs... things are going a little slower than we wanted. Sorry.
Requirements to run the app on Android: Amon_RA's recovery. That's what we tested it with.

Can't wait to see if this is fool proof.
Add md5 check. Make it in this way: user have to enter/copy-past md5 hashsum from forum/site. Program calculates md5 of image and says image is good or bad. Also you can disable flashing with out this check. ;-)
good idea. Will do that. That will help with flashing screwed up downloads.
Hi
Thank you for sharing the application.
Does it flash the radio too? I mean CyanogenMod has two files a radio ROM and a CyanogenMod ROM. Does it flash both of them to the phone?
Thanks.
Radio flash is in there we took it out. May do so in the next release but radio flashing is dangerous (can brick phones) so...
Hey Lwin,
Nice concept man, this is gonna prove very handy for many peeps.
You've come up trumps again
So, this is a desktop application?
Does it flash ROM's from your desktop or copy them over and just run the commands on the phone for you?
I ask, as I'm having some problems flashing now, based round a slightly faulty Micro SD card. Does it store backups on the phone or on your desktop PC?
This program is written so you don't have to do command line commands. Everything else remains the same. If you are doing a Nand backup, it goes where it used to go.
I would recommend fixing your "slightly faulty Micro SD card" by getting a new card.
nice app for those that aren't familiar with cmd or jus pure...lazy lol
maybe the screens should be bigger as quite hard to see clearly whats available.
Pure Genius...

Here is the GUI tool for unlocking, updating, restoring, flashing of the N1 (and in theory should work on all HTC androids).
Try it out and see if it is useful. The tool is made to help for people with very basic skills since the tool at this stage is a wrapper for the shell commands at this point.
Again, as usual, we take no responsibility for loss of sleep, loss of phone or screw ups on our side (due to app) or on your side (due to lack of ability to follow instructions).
I wish to make it more simple. We welcome feed backs.

Hey Seraph, This is getting better and better everyday.. How is your windows and android port.. Oh and don't forget there little buddy, I need you on my Mobility Team when we arrive to the scene.. Android and Audi... Almost there....
Edit: Okay, can't run on Mac, of course will in VMware, can you please make this mac native too... It would be great as per what MooMoo said, for all who are lazy...

But I don't use command line now. I didn't realise anyone did. Do you not just boot into RA Recovery and flash from there?

There will be a mac port sometime this week. I can most likely port to linux too but if you know linux and if you have to use wrapper, you have an issue
install issues
I tried to install it but got a system update required....
extracted the sdk to the folder C:\android-sdk-windows
extracted android4dummies and clicked setup
I get a pop up with the following:
unable to install or run the application. the application requires that system assembly system.data, entry version 3.5.0.0 be installed in the global system cache.....???
What do I do now?
Sounds like the app uses .NET framework 3.5.
So goto microsoft website an get 3.5 .Net Framework.

You do need .Net 3.5. It should have asked you, if not installed that as a prerequisite.
I went to MS and downloaded the .net 3.5 installed it (apparently it was already on my pc, so instead of installing I tried to repair it. no success....

Can you send us a screenshot.
Do not unzip into C:\android-sdk-windows. App will install SDK or search for the SDK there.
Unzip on your desktop or temp and install from there.
just to be clear, I unzipped adroid sdk and placed in the mentioned location. the android4dummies is extracted on the desktop and executed from there..
so should I remove the SDK and retry?
I have been able to get the update tool software to flash the kdz file and I over right the bin in the process.
The phone flashes fine. But, after flashing I still have no root at all. I'm following every step by step instruction.
dismantlehands said:
I'm so happy that the Lelus Root method works. But, not for me. I have no other machine to use this method on that does not run windows 8.
When I attempt to put the phone in Software update mode when trying to flash the kdz file, windows 8 crashes because of driver issues. Has anyone else had this issue? Or could maybe point me in the right direction into fixing this so i can obtain root for my L9? :highfive: Team work guys, team work. *self five*

Just sent you a pm asking about this issue. Sorry for not having any patience.
since that is the case, im even more confused now than ever.
I have tried uninstalling drivers and everything, still crashes. Fresh install is not an option seeing I have no way to backup my data.

Not sure the situation of your window 8 and no one can help you without proper details, but my friend, in my humble opinion your title "[Q] Lelus root method crashes windows 8" is sort of misleading and may be scaring people from using Lelus method. It sounds like you are telling people that "Lelus root method crashes windows 8, so dont use it."
Make it "[Q] Please help! Why Lelus root method is not working on my windows 8?" to be more precise.
Are sure your clicking the network test flash button? Do not click the start button right under the kdz browser folder thing. There should be a button on the lower right hand. Also run the prgram in compatibility as administrator.

My laptop crashes right after it tries to detect the L9 running in SW mode. So, I do not even get as far as the program it self.
I appreciate the input Virusbetax.

my win8 laptop has a few runtime errors during the flashing process itself, and I have to reboot afterwards, but never something as bad as this. you may be experiencing other problems not related to this phone.
may not be the BEST solution but you could always download tinyXP and virutalbox and try everything in a virtual machine..........
Yea there also virtual xp you can use. I believe is from windows website. Try with cousins or friends computer? Maybe theres will work.
Re: [Q] Lelus root method crashes windows 8
Have you tried other cables? Have you used the other usb ports on your system? Have you checked device manager on your laptop to see if there are other devices with errors? Have you gone to your manufactures Web site to see if there are new drivers or an updated bios?

Switching it from the usb 3.0 port to the 2.0 port worked. I successfully got the phone in s/w mode to run with the software update tool. After the tool finishes my phone reboots. Still no root..... I am following every step....
Its all Security and Compatibility issue. Yesterday, I have done some changes in my Root Guide.
======================
2) Download Root_and_Flash_Guide_byCMahendra(date).zip file (attached with this post) and extract in your C-Drive.
Now you will get three folders named "C:\RootLelus" and "C:\RootFlash" and "C:\shttps"
If these folders need any permissions you should provide in folder security section by adding user "everyone" or "<yourname>" and give full access. (example video) This is Optional and should be done if you have permission errors while flashing. Do it for all three folders.
==================
Also run EXE files with WindowsXP compatibility mode and Run As Administrator, if any trouble. In fact I never did this. Just a suggested workaround.
STILL NOTHING IS GUARANTEED AND MAY NOT WORK FOR YOU.
Do some trial and error and you tell us.:good:

Ubuntu4Kitchen
An Ubuntu 18.04 distro with all the things you need to get the kitchen working easily.
This was created using the official Ubuntu 18.04.0 iso. It is basically an updated and repacked version of the original iso image.
Here are the changes from standard Ubuntu:
All dependencies are met for easy kitchen install
SuperRs-Kitchen installer/launcher is a pre-installed app
Panel shortcuts are Nautilus, Chrome/Chromium, Synaptic Package Manager, SuperR's Kitchen, and Show Desktop
Nautilus File Manager asks what to do when you double-click an executable text file (bash script) by default
Nautilus uses list view by default
Chromium and Synaptic package manager are installed
Firefox, Thunderbird, and LibreOffice have been removed
It should work in VM, usb live boot, or dvd. Launch SuperRs-Kitchen ("S" icon) from the panel or the app drawer to get started
NOTE: The Installer will not work in Live boot.
Download:
Ubuntu4Kitchen-18.04.4-amd64.iso

Windows is not supported in the free version of the kitchen. If you want to run the free version in Windows, you should use a Virtual Machine running Ubuntu4Kitchen.
VirtualBox is free and works well. Search Google for how to set up the VM.
Alternatively, the donate version of the kitchen runs in Windows.

I have been trying to figure this out for a couple days with no success so far. Will keep trying. You should still be able to use the "install" option instead of the "try" option if you plan on installing it anyway.
edit: Turns out that checking the "Live CD/DVD" box under the iso file chooser in VirtualBox allows me to boot into the desktop without the login screen.

Hello guys!
I'm starting this thread as I managed to install win10 on my X90L (Android) YogaBook
It was not easy to find a way to fix the ACPI error but it is possible!
Will update this post in a few hours with a guide on how to do it yourself.
UPDATE: link to the guide -> poz1.com/windows-on-android-lenovo-yogabook/
PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU CONTINUE YOU WILL END UP WITH A YOGABOOK WITHOUT INPUT DEVICES!!!
(EXTERNAL KEYBOARD WILL BE NEEDED) AND NO ANDROID INSTALL!!!
So far i got almost everything working except:
- Touchscreen
- Keyboard
- Webcam in the keyboard panel (the other one works fine)
- NFC
- Backlight Control (added 25/5/2018)
I'm getting very near to have the touch and the keyboard working though
P.s. In attach you find the outputs from 3DMark - IceStorm Extreme (default settings), would be much appreciated if someone with the real Win version shared its score
Any chance of posting you work to date. Got an X90F just crying out for Windows.

OK,
So far so good. I get to the amending of the of aml. But keep getting.
Intel ACPI Component Architecture
ASL+ Optimizing Compiler/Disassembler version 20180508
Copyright (c) 2000 - 2018 Intel Corporation
iASL: Segmentation Fault
iASL: Terminating
To clarify the process. Decompile the DSTDroid.aml, then insert the OperationRegion (GNVS, SystemMemory, 0x7B3CF000, 0x0369)
Field (GNVS, AnyAcc, Lock, Preserve)
{ etc.. } section from the DSTDroid.dsl and use it to replace the equivalent section in the DSTWin.dsl in your files.
Then compile the DSTWin.dsl with the
iasli -ta DSDTWin.dsl
command.
This is how I am reading it, but have not managed to get it to work yet.
It decompiles with the two errors you mention, but wont recompile no matter how I try it.
I am using Notepadd++ so its not hidden characters.
Any thoughts, and thanks again for your efforts on this.

Hello Broomfundel,
I never got that error, but it seems to be a problem of the ASL Compiler build not of your file.
I am using Mac so I have another build, if you want to post the file I can compile it for you .
Otherwise you can try an older release or to build the tool from source maybe?

Hi,
KernelFlinger is opensource and come with an installer, it should be pretty simple to install it.
Right now I don't have my YogaBook as I am travelling but I can try in the next few days
OK, Older release worked, but I get a .hex file, your instructions talk about a new aml file. Do I use the .hex file or is there another option other than the -ta one that would create the aml.
BTW. I am enjoying this. So thanks again.

With the -ta option I get both the .hex and the .aml file but you can try -tc if it doesn't work. Maybe due to the different build
P.s. (for other people that may incur in this) If you don't get the output files check that you have as last line of the terminal
"Compilation complete. 0 Errors"
OK, I am getting 7 errors. My current theory is that the DSTDWin.dsl will only compile with the same version number of the compiler it was decompiled with. I have attached my DSDTDroid.dsl so you can have a go. At least it will prove I got things right up to that point. Might be worth posting the original DSTDWin.aml for me to try this end.
If we are lucky it might turn out that the patched DSTDWin.aml files are consistent across the same model devices.
So... It seems both pen mode and keyboard mode of holo keyboard won't work... Am I right?
It's sad that if they won't work even we install the drivers from the lenovo website

There you go I'm also updating the files DSTDWin of my blog with one with some fixes Well they depend on the settings you use in your Bios (that's why Windows may not boot after install, it changes some parameters (the wait time of the bios and the default boot partition)). When you use the builtin one is the bios that "updates" it for you but for now we need to do it by hand If we are going to end with everything working we can release a patched "Win" bios and everything will be simpler

Just another Question, you as a Advance user, do you believe that we (yoga book Windows owners) can boot Android yb STOCK ROM ( i mean not the Android x86 based distros)?
Yes, but I think you would have to do the "reverse" DSDT injection (from win to android) as the official ROM has drivers for that components.
This means that, if you're lucky you would end up with our same problems (keyboard, pen and touch). If we don't fix that before
The problem with Android is that it is meant to be flashed on rom instead of being installed and this makes things more difficult.
It should be possible to flash the rom on an USB key, add grub and use it for DSDT injection like we do and see what happens.
Another problem is that the provided kernelflinger seems to have most of the security options enabled so 99% it will refuse to boot anyway.
Since it is opensource it should be possible to fix this anyway.
So yes, but it a loooong journey
Hi All !
Some of us do know the application a long time but others don't. Therefore this small GUIDE.
Removing system apps without root/unlocked can be done in a few ways like :
manually : with an ADB list and described HERE huge thnx @SirTAVARES
automatic : if you don't like to do it manually, you can use the ADB/Fastboot Tool which will do the job for you.
The XiaomiADBFastbootTools isn't explained in depth afaik and can do a lot more but I'll focus on the removal of those system apps.
HOW TO :
NOTE : do try some apps (not all at once) and see if the phone boots again - if you would have a problem you can always restore the onces you removed or perform a factory reset to restore all apps (as they are not really gone )
0. enable developer options to enable USB debugging ( go to settings/about phone/tap MIUI version 7 times to enable dev. options -> then go to settings/additional settings/ dev. options/enable USB debugging )
1. download the latest version HERE
2. run the .jar application
3. you'll get this screen
As you can see, the tool will start by default in ADB. You'll see a bunch of apps you could de-install under the Uninstaller tab.
If you're sure which apps you want to de-install just check the ones you want and tab UNINSTALL
google where is the nearest gas station
TIP : try one first like Google Chrome f.e. and see if it works
EXAMPLE : Removal of Google Chrome :
Once removed you can check if the app is gone of your home screen apps or under settings/installed apps/tap the 3-dot sign to show all apps/ search for ''chrome'' and the app should be removed.
4. if you want the removed app(s) back, just tap the Reinstaller and check the ones you want to re-install. Easy right !
Once re-installed your Chrome app will appear again on your home screen/app list
5. TIP : before removing, check the app name under settings/installed apps/show all apps/tap on an app and tap the Ⓘ to get the app info
Other functions :
1. As you probably noticed besides running in ADB, this tool can easily boot into Fastboot, Recovery, System or EDL.
When booting into Fastboot you can see some other functions you can apply. Be aware of the risks applying things under fastboot !
2. Very useful option is the possibility to push, pull ,... apps/folders with FILE EXPLORER. Just tap OPEN and you can easily perform some actions afterwards.
(ignore the KB sizes - once pulled you'll get the right folder/apks )

This is what you have to install to be able to run .jar files. OP just assumed everyone has java installed (I would too to be honest) and didn't mention it.
I have installed the updated java and am trying to open the windows 10 boot tool and it refuses to open. Yes I did upzip it but the program will not open. Any help please?

What version you installed? I recommend that you install 6.5.1:
https://github.com/Saki-EU/XiaomiADBFastbootTools/releases/tag/6.5.1
That is what I downloaded...Win version. I unzipped and then tried to open but it does not work.

You don't need unzipped. Download the version .JAR an run it. I made this way
Evidently I have absolutely no idea what I am doing. Nothing opens

Lets go from begining:
- First thing that I did, I uninstalled all versions of Java;
- Second, (I made this way, you can jump this step) - reboot my laptop;
- Third, I installed the latest version (in this moment is version 8, update 221) - I installed both 32 bits (x86) and 64 bits (x64);
- Fourth, run the tool (just download .JAR version) and clicked with right botton for open with Java.
When I right click nothing asks to open it in java
If you have java installed, then just a double click on the XiaomiADBFastbootTools-6.5.1.jar is enough.
Opens in 7z

Probably you made 7zip as default app. Right botton, "open with...", choose Java
