can anyone pls help with how to root the Lenovo TB-x306f
i already unlocked the bootloader but that's as far as i was able to go with it.
i want to also like to install a recovery to flash the evolutionx rom if someone can pls help me and others that needs the same help.
GOD BLESS
I second that. There's nothing out there.
What I tried was to download the original ROM patch the boot.img with magical, replace in LMSA download folder and start a rescue. Didn't help. Got boot loop.
Ok, maybe a bit more details on what I tried already:
1. Enabled developer options. Good.
2. OEM unlocked. ADB connected. Good.
3. Boot to bootloader working. Good.
4. fastboot not listing the device after fastboot devices. Not good.
5. Googling around, found an universal root method with Magisk. Good.
6. Donwloaded, installed and ran RSA (Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant). Connected to device. Good.
7. Entered Rescue and using that downloaded the original ROM. Good.
C:\ProgramData\LMSA\Download\RomFiles\TB_X306F_S100134_210120_BMP
8. Copied boot.img to device, installed MagiskManager, patched image with magisk, downloaded the image to PC, replaced the original boot image with the patched one. Good.
9. Started the Rescue procedure in RSA. Rom flased. Good.
10. Bootloop. Bad.
No idea why would that not work, any help, pointers, ideas appreciated.
EDIT: There's a new ROM version now: TB_X306F_S100152_210205_BMP
For a preface, I have the same Tablet as OP. I tried to unlock the bootloader, following seemingly every guide out there but, no success so far. I've enabled debugging, activated OEM unlock and, adb detects my device but, after I send it to fastboot (adb reboot bootloader), no more commands work. I've updated the driver in Manager as one guide suggested but, still nothing.
I used command (fastboot OEM unlock) to continue but nothing. What am I doing wrong?
So just a tip for those that are looking for a guide to do a complete bootloader unlock for TB-X306F, there isn't one. I found a bunch of different ways to go about unlocking the bootloader from different Lenovo devices. First thing is that you need Minimal ABD Fastboot v1.4.3 if Platform Tools or LeTools doesn't work. Use CMD with admin rights, not PowerShell.
Everything else to unlock it is the same from all the guides out there. Make sure to use "fastboot flashing unlock" when unlocking instead of "fastboot oem unlock" or "fastboot oem unlock-go" if they dont work.
Second tip is for root when installing the Magisk patched boot image. While you're getting the boot.img, make sure to also grab the vbmeta.img from the ROM folder and place it in the Minimal ADB Fastboot folder where you will be using CMD. Do all the steps to get the patched boot image. Once you got the boot.img patched, enter fastboot then enter the command "fastboot --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img" This will disable verification needed to boot correctly. After that, enter the command "fastboot flash boot <name of .img>" like normal to flash the patched boot.img from magisk. Then fastboot reboot.
This is what I did to get my TB-X306F unlocked and rooted. YMMV.
Different threads that I read to get to where I got, credit goes to them:

By any chance can u pls.... Make a video on the steps u explained including on where to get that file needed. Pls thank u and GOD BLESS YOU. If u can find the time to do it .
I apologize for asking for so much help on this.
I too would very much care to see a video of the process but, I have no problem trying it first hand to myself. This tablet is just weird. It can be detected but, as soon as I boot into fastboot, it can't pick it up anymore even though, I had grabbed all of the recommended tools so far such as the fast Boot and the bundle.
A detailed guide would be good enough too
Following @doink_doink 's post (and some bootloops after...) I finally managed to root my Lenovo M10 HD 2 gen (TB-X306X) with magisk. I'll attempt to write a simple guide for who's still interested with rooting this kind of devices since there's not much literature online.
Rooting Lenovo M10 X306X (should also work for other models)
I am by no means held responsible for eventual damage you can inflict on your device, follow the underlying steps of your own accord.
Desktop Tools:
Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Lenovo Rescue Smart Assistant (LRSA from now on)
MTK (Mediatek) Preload Drivers (If your device isn't listed in fastboot)
Mobile Tools:
Magisk Manager App
Steps:
1 - From LRSA click on "Rescue" Tab
2 - Select the model of your tablet and then download
3 - From "Downloads" in the top right corner of the LRSA, click on "Open" to go into the LRSA download folder
4 - Connect your device and set it into USB Debugging and File Transfer
5 - Copy boot.img from LRSA download folder into the device's download folder
6 - Run Magisk Manager App on your device
7 - From Magisk Manager App choose "Install" on the right side of Magisk
8 - Choose the only option "Select and patch a file"
9 - Choose the boot.img you previously copied into the device's download folder
10 - Copy the new file "patched_boot.img" or similar name to the folder where Minimal ADB and Fastboot was installed
11 - Copy the file vbmeta.img from LRSA download folder to Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder
12 - From your device's settings enable developer options and enable OEM Unlock
13 - Execute a cmd session with administrator privileges
14 - Execute in the cmd: adb reboot bootloader (if everything went right the device should reboot in fastboot mode)
15 - Execute in the cmd: fastboot flashing unlock
16 - Execute in the cmd: fastboot --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
17 - Execute in the cmd: fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
18 - Execute in the cmd: fastboot reboot
The device should correctly reboot and everything should be good to go now.
If something bad happens, like a bootloop or something, turn off the device and use the LRSA to rescue your device.
I don't get around to checking my email as often as I used to so I just now got around to seeing this but, I will try this after I get home from work in 10 hours plus time. If I can get this to successfully work, I will be flat out amazed. I had gotten to the point where I had just given up any and all hope that I would get it to work.

I'm currently experiencing the same issue. I have done everything, followed every step provided by Chairos and it wont surpass beyond the <Waiting for device> message. I just got this device today for a fair price, hoping I could root the device, and typical me forgot to research if it was officially compatible with TWRP.

Make sure you have the latest MTK usb drivers.
Hello Everyone,
I apologize for the delay but I didn't get notified of your replies.
I also got the waiting for device problem, but as @Yahoo Mike says, it's the MTK USB drivers that are used to communicate with the device in fastboot mode. Latest drivers should do.
Let me know if you're still experiencing the problem after installing the latest MTK drivers, since it depends on which motherboard the tablet has but all models should use mediatek.
Worked like a charm! Thanks.
Can anyone please confirm if there is a TWRP even unofficial IMG out there? And if any kind soul could share the file too I would be so grateful thanks
worked beautifully ...
just the installation of the latest MTK drivers is not very typical. however, you can follow this guide to install MTKL drivers and disable the driver signature enforcement

I received yesterday my TB-X306X, with Android 10 and with software version S100184_210325_BMP. First thing to do was to unlock and root the tablet, without any issue, thanks to clear indications found on this thread.
Has anybody been able to find working TWRP for this tablet ?

I unlocked and rooted my unlocked G Power 2022 that I purchased from BestBuy last week. I was running Pixel Experience but went back to stock and rooted.
Can u send the way u rooted it to the thread
I have the Straight Talk, Tonga, version. And the own unlock is found under developer options. But when I went to unlock the Bootloader the Motorola website said that the Bootloader cannot be unlocked. So I don't understand how anyone could root this device. Again if I bought the unlocked version from best buy and not the straight talk version from Walmart it may be different.
Yes I have rooted my moto g power right now.Here is what I wish I knew before I rooted.One a lot of more customization modules like custom boot intros don't work. Because Motorola is passively agressive forwards root. The moto g power 2022 is not very well known about in fact I'm trying to post the stock rom everywhere so people can update. And then reroot. The rooting process is difficult. I had some problems like the oem unlock was greyed out.
Requirements:
Computer with
One of the following operating systems:
*Windows 10
*Windows 11
*Ubuntu or any distro supporting apt
So here's how to root.
Step 1 backup Data you want to keep
Step 2 go to about phone in settings
Step 3 click build model 5-7 times To enable phone dev mode
Step 4 enable USB debugging and oem unlock
If oem unlock is greyed out don't panic for me I just had to wait 7 days and it automatically fixed itself it's some wierd glitch
Step 5 (Windows only) install adb and fastboot drivers you can find the universal version here
https://adb.clockworkmod.com/ then reboot
Step 6 install adb and fastboot
Windows:
Go to https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools and download the Windows adb and fastboot zip.
Now extract the adb and fastboot platform tools into a folder preferably downloads.
Next if you are using Windows 11 open the adb and fastboot location and right click the file explorer backround click the and click open in PowerShell.
For Windows 10 it's harder you have to type the command cd AdbDirectory
Example: cd C://Users/YourUser/Downloads/adbandfastboot_folder
IMPORTANT(Windows10-11)
Note: later we will run commands if you get error like no such file or directory. Make sure you are in the right directory if you are in the right directory type the command like ./adb.exe and ./fastboot.exe (This will only work if you are in the folder
Linux:
type
Code:
sudo apt install adb | apt install fastboot
Step 7 install the magisk app on your phone you can find it here

I have Confirmed this method works but I have Motorola G Power (2022) (TONGA) Unlocked from Best Buy no problems at all I'm on Win10. Now I jus NEED Custom Recovery and Custom Rom
Time to make a Device section for this Phone
Hi everyone,
I am trying to revert my Xperia 1 III back to complete stock but having an issue relocking bootloader.
I have the XQ-BC72 model that came with HK firmware as far as I remember.
I ended up flashing TW firmware to get it to work on Verizon, which was fine and dandy but now I need to get it back to stock.
I downloaded the latest HK firmware on xperifirm and flashed it with newflasher no problem.
Setup the device and the option turned on USB debugging and such.
Got into fastbootd mode and typed "fastboot devices". Device showed up as normal without issue.
Typed "fastboot oem lock" and got
FAILED (remote: 'Command not supported in default implementation')
fastboot: error: Command failed
The OEM Unluck toggle is grayed out and is ticked on. I cannot untick it.
At this point basically no other fastboot commands work. Any help what I am doing wrong?
Thanks
EDIT: I think I figured it out. Phone has to be in fastboot mode not fastbootd. That last letter matters.
Anyway, the google adb and sony drivers werent letting me to get into fastboot mode. Phone itself would appear to be in fastboot mode but not recognized by PC. I had to install some random driver I saw in another Sony thread here on xda. Post#6 in this thread: HERE.
This allowed my device to be recognized by the PC while in fastboot mode. At this point I ran the "fastboot oem lock" command and the phone erased itself and locked bootloader.
Time to go back to Stock (Unroot)
Open CMD and go to the Platform-tools directory and enter the below command:
adb reboot bootloader
Remember the original boot.img we have before patching copy that file into platform tools and replace it with the patched boot_magisk.img
Then type this command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Once that’s done then type this command:
fastboot oem lock
Wait for the response and then type this command:
fastboot reboot
Once that’s done your device should format and bootloader locked and back to stock ROM with 5G and Volte enabled.
Enabling VOLTE Options after re-lock bootloader and unroot.
Go to Playstore and install Shizuku app.
With the app opened, open up a terminal and write
Code:
Code:
adb shell sh /sdcard/Android/data/moe.shizuku.privileged.api/start.sh
to start it
Check the app. It should say Shizuku is running.
Download and install this apk
In your app drawer find Pixel IMS app, open it and click on allow all the time for "Allow Pixel IMS to access Shizuku"
Hit the enable VoLTE button at the lower left.
Go to settings, mobile data settings and you will find the enable Volte Option or 4G Call.
Also, it kept working after uninstalling Pixel IMS and Shizuku apps.
You can restart the device and the Volte/5G will remain active.

Hi
Do you have a vídeo, for example in YouTube were can I see steps to do this?
I ask for It becouse I have some doubts about the processing.
All info current as of 05/07/2023All steps were tested on Kubuntu 23.04. Make sure you follow the steps below, in order. Don't skip steps or ignore errors.
On windows, you may've to execute the command from the adb folder and prefix the commands with ./
Rooting your stock ROM:
01. Save boot.img from stock ROM files in your download folder on your phone, if you plan to patch boot.img yourself. Alternatively, you can use the attached already patched boot.img (magisk 26.1).
02. Save the patched boot.img on your computer
03. Boot into stock ROM. Don't bother setting up the phone now. You will get to do it after rooting.
04. Go to settings/About phone. At the bottom, tap on "build number" until developer options are enabled.
05. Connect the phone to your ADB installed computer. Ensure that your computer has the latest version of drivers and the latest version of adb.
06. On your phone, go to settings/system/advanced/developer options. Enable "OEM Unlocking" and "USB debugging". Authorize device when the prompt shows up on your phone.
07. Execute the below commands from the adb folder using the command prompt.
08. adb reboot bootloader. Wait for phone to reboot to fastboot.
09. fastboot flashing unlock. Read disclaimer and press vol+ to confirm that you want the bootloader unlocked.
10. fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched_A13_26.img. Update file name and include relative path of the file location, as required
11. fastboot reboot
12. You are now rooted. Install Magisk apk and setup the phone and apps.
Sadly, I had to return the phone because there has not been a security update since June 2022. That's more risk than I'm willing to take. There will not be further updates from me on this thread. Hopefully, someone will continue with GSI installs and other work.
