I just want to pose a question:
My volume down button has been broken (peculiar build quality of these things ), but to the best of my current knowledge i'm safe. In CWM recovery i can always loop in the scroll to make the right decisions and to reach "fast boot" i don't need to use the "volume down". My question is then this: Is there any situation that I could happen to stumble upon in which I would need the down button to carry out an "unbricking process"/wipe/reseting? I have never had to use "fast boot" since all my issues jumping between firmwares have been resolved through CWM, and I don't want to just try "fast boot" now just to find I need the "volume down" to be able to restart the device
I don't think that button is needed for a major task, I think you're safe for now!
With the stock recovery you'll need it to use the update, but with cmw as you said it you don't need it, for fastboot/adb you don't need it, for now there's no major task that I can think of that that button is needed.

Thanks for the swift answer! So if i for example flash FolioMod then I need to flash CWM in order to change to another firmware. How do one flash CWM without using stock recovery? ADB? Guide somewhere?
Heres a post i've found on another forum that explains how to set up fastboot:
Step 1 - Install fastboot driver for the Folio :
- Download PdaNet and install it on your PC, it will go till a point where it says it can't be installed and cancel itself but the magic is that the driver is installed.
Download PdaNet from www[dot]junefabrics[dot]com/android/download.php (i had to put the link that way cause the forum wont allow me to post outside links yet)
Step 2 - Download the tools needed to prepare the Folio
- Download and extract the following archive on your PC, these are the tools needed to erase the Folio and to flash the Honeycomb rom. You will only need what's inside the folder ToolsD...
Download from www[dot]box[dot]net/shared/4ugbev5jnx5fbp3v3u2e
Step 3 - Start fastboot mode on the Folio
- Start the tablet and at the TOSHIBA logo press 3 times Power and 1 time Vol+, then connect it to the PC. It should be detected by the driver we installed at step 1.
Step 4 - Erase the tablet and flash the new recovery (ClockWorkMod)
- Open a cmd window on your PC, go to the folder ToolsD we extracted at step 2 and type in the following commands :
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase linux
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
Step 5 - Install the new rom from ClockWorkMod
- Once the reboot starts, at the TOSHIBA logo, press Power and Vol+ at the same time, then Vol+, then Vol-, then Vol+. You should be in ClockWorkMod recovery...
- Prepare a SD card with your favorite rom (for me it's Folio3x(HoneyComb 3.0.1) for Folio100 - VegaComb based), don't forget to unzip it, you should end with a update.zip file.
- Insert the SD card in the tablet and select - apply sdcard:update.zip, it should start the installation. If not chose - install zip from sdcard and choose the file. If you can't see it, either the sdcard is not formated correctly or it simply does not see the card, try to reboot the recovery with the sdcard inserted.
After these steps and once it's installed, it should reboot and start VEGACOMB. Please be patient, it takes a while to start... and do not forget to reboot after the initial setup to activate the wifi (yes it's a bug)!
If it still does not start, reflash it again (step 5) sometimes it just does not work on first try. What you can also try is to format the different partitions from ClockWorkMod recovery, there's a Mounts and Storage menu and after you mount all the possible partitions (some won't), format them all, reboot the recovery and start step 5 again.
Regards,
Luis

If you want to change your recovery, just replace the recovery.img on the ToolsD folder with the one you want, then on step 4 just do the following:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
You dont need step 5.
I also think that if you remove the recovery.img from the update.zip before you flash the rom it will keep the recovery you have now, but i cant confirm that, anyway, if you need to change the recovery just do those steps.
So what I did was.
-Root my phone using the lastest guide.
-Succesfully Rooted.
-Install Xposed Framework
-Rebooted Phone, STUCK IN BOOT ANIMATION
Followed this guide;
Use fastboot
- Download Miflash and unzip the file on your computer (c
- connect your Redmi 1S to your computer
- hold together Vol - and Power
Your enter in the fastboot mode
- open Miflash (take a while to open because it install drivers, etc)
- click on refresh and the flash tool reconized your phone
- click on browse and select where you unzip the fasboot image
Wait 5 minutes.
The phone reboot on the official Chinese - English ROM. You can flash what you want after.
But nothing is working.
Phone is just in the FASTBOOT logo
And the MiFlash wont recognize my phone
HELP =[

Hi everybody , today I will share very easy way to unbrick your Lenovo Vibe Shot Z90a40 device .
In my case this device was bricked while instaling custom twrp recovery and custom android 7 OS I got device in that state so the problem was that you are unable to flash your device in diagnostic 9006 mode with to many read only partitions , which I was unable to format or delete in read only state , but actually the problems was not it those partition at all, is about to get
HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode so you can flash stock firmware on it .
Preparing Steps to do before we start :
1. Disable or remove your Antivirus (because sometimes antivirus can block instaling drivers , ports or running flash tool)
2. Uninstall all the previous drivers you used for flashing or unbrick use free tool called USBDeview
for 32 bit users:
https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usbdeview.zip
for 64 bit users:
https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usbdeview-x64.zip
3. Put your windows in Test mode
To put your Windows in test mode just Run As Administrator Command Prompt and insert one of the following command:
bcdedit -set testsigning on ( to enable test mode)
bcdedit -set testsigning off ( to disable test mode)
Or Disable driver signature
for Windows 7
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gYhHD622AA
for Windows 10 users:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71YAIw7_-kg
After that reboot your PC .
4. Uninstall all flash program from your pc like MiFlash , QPST , Qloader ...
Use Revo Uninstaller for advanced uninstaling that clean leftover files and registry which is stored inside your Windows registry.
https://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html
After that reboot your PC .
5. Install Microsoft .NET Framework 4 download from here: (if you already have instaled skip this)
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17851
6. Install first right Qualcomn driver download from here :
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1Sms71Oe6FIdUE4em9DNjV3Y00/view
Credits for driver : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8LoQb68tjBYxwN97b4pvtA
7. Install Lenovo USB driver download from here :
https://lenovousbdriver.com/tutorial/install-lenovo-usb-driver
8. Install Qpst (Qfil flash tool) download from here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1Sms71Oe6FIVTRwbWpSdEZfM2c/view
9. Install Minimal ADB & Fastboot 1.4.2 command tool download from here
(while you start installing tool check to be in desktop is easy )
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120698566
in order to install run ADB & Fastboot 1.4.2.exe with Administrator and just write y and hit enter for all .
10. Download twrp recovery for fastboot flashing and extract to Desktop, download from here :
http://lenovo-forums.ru/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=56391
11. Download stock firmware for QPST Flashing ( inside is drivers and tools also but don't use that one's ) download from here :
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/HCn4/auVy8DVo1
Also extract stock recovery for later one inside adb folder
12. Very important is to use Original usb cable ! otherwise your device won't be recognized property!
13. Make sure your battery is charged if you are not sure put in charger for about 2 hours in charger on in pc!
If your device immediately show up Lenovo logo just hold Vol - and power button together release power button once is rebooting put keep holding Vol - it should be black screen now with white indicator while is charging if not , repeat this proces without charger. This is secure because if you let your phone to be charged with Lenovo logo device will be hot and probably the lcd will hot burning effect !!!
So Let's start
1. Make sure your device is OFF first !
2. Hold Vol + and Vol - buttons together in order to enter into FastBoot mode and hold it like that plug usb and see if windows is detecting your device then release buttons.
3. Now once the drivers are successfully installed run Minimal ADB & Fastboot tool .
4. Write command :
fastboot device and press Enter
(you should see your device available )
5. Now write :
fastboot flash recovery (drag inside command tool with mouse "recovery.img" extracted from stock recovery from preparing steps on 11.) and press Enter
6. Next write each command one by one :
fastboot erase cache and press Enter
fastboot erase system and press Enter
7. Now unplug your device from PC.
8. Enter to Lenovo stock recovery by holding 3 buttons :
Vol + & Vol - & Power button at the same time , release just power button once your device vibrate .
Once you see Lenovo MAIN MENU screen press on ''wipeuser data" and wipe each one ,
one by one :
fuse wipe data ( press on YES )
fuse format data ( press on YES )
wipe cache ( press on YES )
Now there is two method for fix :
#First method - Flashing ota firmware from stock recovery
This method is from forum.lenovo.com which doesn't work for me is fail at 49% probably because S208 is old version which is maybe not allowed because I flashed recovery from S363 firmware I don't know but you can try .
1. You need 4 gb or more micro SD card , also make sure is formatted with Fat 32 .
2. Download Z90a40_USR_S208_1507141216_Q2020131.4_ROW_OTAFull.zip, rename it to "update.zip"
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8CarqWdS9gZZmJmVGp6NkFWRlk/view
3. Copy it to micro SD card again 4 GB or more !
4. Go into recovery menu:
- turn off the phone
- hold both vol+ and vol- buttons
- power on phone, keep both vol+ and vol- keys pressed until it enters recovery
5. From recovery menu choose install update package
After that go back and press on "poweroff"
#Second method - Flashing stock firmware with Qfil
1. Hold Vol + & Vol - buttons and plug usb cable to enter into fastboot mode and open Minimal ADB & Fastboot to again .
2. Now to put your device in EDL mode and open HS-USB QDLoader 9008 for flashing write this command:
fastboot reboot edl and press Enter
Now you should see that your device is detected like "HS-USB QDLoader 9008" so wait for instalation of that driver.
If you are unable to reboot into EDL mode , flash twrp.img from "twrp/img" folder .
In order to flash twrp recovery probably you need to unlock bootloader , but try first without unlocking if is not flashing then unlock bootloader , if is flashing without unlocked bootloader skip this!
https://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums/topic/unlock-bootloader-android-phone-using-fastboot/
To do that just write :
fastboot flash recovery (drag inside command tool with mouse "twrp.img" from " twrp/img" folder ) and press Enter
3. Once is installed go to QPST directory in my case "C:\QPST\bin" and Run as Administrator "QFIL.exe."
.
Rest you have here here explained ...
https://www.gsmhelpful.com/2017/07/how-to-flash-lenovo-vibe-shot-z90a40-with-qfil-flash-tool.html
If for some reasons flashing is fail , plug usb in another usb port USB 2.0 (recommended) and repeat process.
DOWNGRADE from Marshmallow 6.0.1 to Lolipop 5.1
For those one's who want to downgrade device back to Lolipop try this at your own risk !!!

my sister is very grateful
Thank you very much.
What build date has this rom? Sec. patches?
Can you please post your local manifest?
Very interesting guide, unfortunately the links don't work...
Is it possible to restore them?
Tanks. Max
I think its first guide how to do it because every other guides were for TB2-X30F but not for TB2-X30L.
I have only found lineage os for x30l, can someone please link lineage (Android 7) for x30f?
The difference between L and F is that L is the sim card variant. Ive read several people getting "insert sim card" when installing L on a F tablet. So I dont want messages like this.
Thanks for this tutorial. It was possible, to upgrade this old Tablet.
Do you know, if there is anything newer version for our Lenovo?

I have followed the instructions and successfully installed LiOS14. Then, however, I have factory reset the tablet via Settings. Now it always boots to TWRP, no matter what I have tried I could not installed back the LiOS14 I only have TWRP right now.

The tablet can also run on LineageOS 16 which is Android 9.
As I saw that the guys in the Russian 4PDA-Forum had been able to create a LiOS16, I was able to make some adjustments and compile a ROM with most recent security patches which now runs on my good old TB2-X30L / TAB2 A10-30:

it seems that google drives are off. Can someone re-upload please?
Hallo,
I have installed LiOS14-UNOFFICIAL-TB2-X30L.zip. The installation was without problems.
But I am having problem with WiFi - problem of MAC 02:00:00:00:00:00. I have tried a lots of tips but nothig worked. Two times I was succesfull to set some MAC, but always, after while, it was gone. No able to reproduce to set.
Is it really so difficult to set somehow the MAC addres for the WiFi?
As I understand the setting of the MAC differs between different releases of OS. Does anybody know how it work in this release? It should by known where this relaese expects the MAC setting. Am I right?
1. temporary succes: Setting MAC in system/etc/firmware/wlan/qca_cld/wlan_mac.bin (I think. Its longer time ago and there was more attempts). It lasted for few months. It is not mine device so I don't know how it was handled.
2. temporary succes: I copied system/etc/firmware/wlan dir to system/vendor/firmware/wlan. I did it based on how it is in Samsung Galaxy S4 mini with Lineage 16. It worked. After restart I had to swith off and on the airplane mode to set MAC. After few attempts it was gone. No able to reproduce to set the MAC.
I am not Linux expert

Thank you very much, install your rom on my TB2-X30F and it goes very well, the only drawback that I present is that the wifi is very slow but the rom is excellent, thank you very much for your work.

After few day i find out solution how to install custom ROM to my Lenovo tablet. I think its first guide how to do it because every other guides were for TB2-X30F but not for TB2-X30L.
Installation guide:
FILES TO DOWNLOAD:
ALL FILES: https:// drive.google.com/drive/folders/1heVQAryphuXNVt5k-HsUhfRrVr9MV34D
ALL LINKS WORK ! JUST DELETE THE SPACE BEFORE drive.google.com...
1) On the tablet, at Settings, you must activate on the Developer Options the Bootloader Unlock (OEM unlocking) and USB debugging. Uncheck Verify apps over USB.
How to unlock Developer: https: //youtu.be/g5wkFAWDsg0
2) Download these files directly to your Android device, not to SD card.
a) https:// drive.google.com/file/d/1230xFbPA7DOGMhuX59yagEd6w1gNCI4o/view SuperSU-v2.79.zip (for me working only v2.79)
b) https:// drive.google.com/file/d/1vRW5RZixtNVfKbJ7nL2EUetANydfmLNg/view Gapps.zip (open_gapps-arm-7.1-micro-20180721)

3) Power off completely the tablet.
4) REMOVE SD CARD ! (because for me a part of system was installed on SD card).
5) Make sure you have a good cable so the connection between PC and tablet is perfect.
6) Download https: //drive.google.com/file/d/1XTDYs7kxagj-CXHsH_yyQnMXqYwAP_hK/view ADB and Fastboot to your PC .(here are the drivers too).
7) Unzip the zip archive and run with Administrator the apps from inside of the zip. To all the questions you must to press key Y to grant all the rights it needs.
8) Press and hold Volume up and plug in usb. Now you are in stock recovery menu.
9) From stock recovery select reboot to bootloader by using volume keys and power keys.
10) Wait about 5-10sec to tablet boot in bootloader mode. (shows lenovo logo in screen when ready)
11) Download the https:// drive.google.com/file/d/15IH55DgmD6SmlILjTukGeNcmYgUPcmCg/view recovery.img(its TWRP version for Lenovo Tab2 x30f so it wont work properly) and copy it into folder adb at local disk C (installed on step 7)
