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.
Any help?

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:

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

Will this work with x30F?

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.
This is long, but it's nice for noobs because it's detailed. It's honestly kind of fun, I promise. I'm assuming you have WINDOWS. This is based off of the guide by torxx!. It's modified because some of the info is outdated (you don't have to flash the boot.mg separately, for example). If you are NOT a noob you can just look at the "overview" for each step. This will work with all versions of the HTC One, assuming the kernel works. I have only tested the kernel with the T-mobile variant because that's what I have.
UNLOCKING YOUR DEVICE WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE. THIS IS A SECURITY FEATURE. BACKUP FIRST.
Part 1- gaining unlock token
Overview: go to htcdev.com and unlock bootloader
Be sure you've turned off fast boot option in power menu; usb debugging should be on (settings -> developer options).
Go to http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/[1] and install HTC SYNC. Alternatively, if you know what you're doing, you can install these drivers:
x86 http://www.mediafire.com/?qabo1tue2v1ky75 x64 http://www.mediafire.com/?8dl8s3l9mr6ggr9
Go on http://www.htcdev.com[4] and create yourself an account on HTCDEV.
Download these adb/fastboot files: http://d-h.st/RvD
Make a new folder anywhere. We'll use C:/fastboot as an example.
Extract the zip downloaded to the new folder
Go Here http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/[6] and select "All Other Supported Models" and "then begin unlock bootloader" (check the boxes, click proceed, all that good stuff). YOU CAN IGNORE THE DIRECTIONS THAT THEY TELL YOU (and follow this guide instead).
Power off your phone. Power your phone on by holding power and volume down.
Highlight 'Fastboot' the volume buttons then press power to "select".
Plug your phone into your PC and open a Command Prompt. (windows XP - Click Start > Run > type CMD in box then press OK; Windows 7 - Click Start > type CMD in search box then press Enter) Change directory to your folder where we put fastboot files by typing cd c:\fastboot for example.*
*Alternatively, you can just hold down shift and right click in the folder and select "open command window here". Neat huh?
Type this into your command prompt window: fastboot oem get_identifier_token
Select & copy the text as per step 9 on the HTCDev website
Paste your identifier token into the box at the bottom and submit
You Will Very Shortly Receive an email from HTCDev with a link to the second part of the instructions and your "Unlock_code.bin" attached
Download the "Unlock_code.bin" from the email and save it to the same folder that we extracted fastboot files
Type this into your command prompt window: fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
The Display Will change on your phone, press Vol+ to accept and power to confirm.
Part 2
Overview: flash your recovery. Boot into recovery. Turn phone off if it boots into OS. Boot into back into recovery. You're done!
Download a recovery:
TWRP (the one I use): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173870
CWM 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2172979
CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173863
Place the Recovery file to the folder where the fastboot.exe is.
Same thing as above- boot (volume down + power) into the bootloader and highlight 'Fastboot' the volume buttons then press power to "select".
Do the same thing as with the command prompt above. This time, however, you'll be typing:
fastboot flash recovery "name_of_the_recovery.img"
For example:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7.img
then type:
fastboot erase cache
From the menu, boot into recovery (use volume to move up and down, power to select). The phone might boot to the OS instead of recovery, don't worry!
Turn off phone then turn on (while holding volume down) to boot back into the bootloader.
TAMPERED shows up, boot into recovery and now your recovery should be working!
Part 3- obtaining root
Overview: flash a super tool
Download a super user tool for root:
SuperSU (I use this one): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
SuperUser: http://download.clockworkmod.com/superuser/superuser.zip
Alternatively, download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266025. This is a stock rooted rom for T-Mobile. If you download and flash this instead of the super user tool, you're done. (This rom includes super user)
Turn on your phone again (and disable usb debugging) and connect to computer, copy the .zip super user tool to a location you remember ON the phone.
Flash it with the Recovery: Power off your device and then hold the VOL DOWN + Power to boot into the Bootloader Navigate with VOL and Power to Recovery Now flash the .zip:
- install zip from sdcard
- choose zip from sdcard
- select the downloaded SuperSU/SuperUser zip file and flash it
- Reboot now
If you are a t-mobile user you're not out of the woods yet! The stock kernel is system write protected, so you still can't modify it (changes won't "stick"). You'll have to flash a custom rom or a kernel if you want stock instead.
I recommend these kernels: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255900 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2233665&highlight=menu

Installing custom rom/kernel ("flashing a rom")
Overview: Download Rom, boot into recovery and wipe and then flash.
According to Shenye, even though your device is s-on, you can still flash boot now. So just do this:
Turn on your phone again (and disable usb debugging) and connect to computer, copy the .zip kernel/cutom rom to a location you remember ON the phone.
Flash it with the Recovery: Power off your device and then hold the VOL DOWN + Power to boot into the Bootloader Navigate with VOL and Power to Recovery Now flash the .zip:
- install zip from sdcard
- choose zip from sdcard
- select the downloaded SuperSU/SuperUser zip file and flash it

This is long, but it's nice for noobs because it's detailed. It's honestly kind of fun, I promise. I'm assuming you have WINDOWS. This is based off of the guide by torxx!. It's modified because some of the info is outdated (you don't have to flash the boot.mg separately, for example). If you are NOT a noob you can just look at the "overview" for each step. This will work with all versions of the HTC One, assuming the kernel works. I have only tested the kernel with the T-mobile variant because that's what I have.
UNLOCKING YOUR DEVICE WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE. THIS IS A SECURITY FEATURE. BACKUP FIRST.
Part 1- gaining unlock token
Overview: go to htcdev.com and unlock bootloader
Be sure you've turned off fast boot option in power menu; usb debugging should be on (settings -> developer options).
Go to http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/[1] and install HTC SYNC. Alternatively, if you know what you're doing, you can install these drivers: x86 http://www.mediafire.com/?qabo1tue2v1ky75 x64 http://www.mediafire.com/?8dl8s3l9mr6ggr9
Go on http://www.htcdev.com[4] and create yourself an account on HTCDEV.
Download these adb/fastboot files: http://d-h.st/RvD
Make a new folder anywhere. We'll use C:/fastboot as an example.
Extract the zip downloaded to the new folder
Go Here http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/[6] and select "All Other Supported Models" and "then begin unlock bootloader" (check the boxes, click proceed, all that good stuff). YOU CAN IGNORE THE DIRECTIONS THAT THEY TELL YOU (and follow this guide instead).
Power off your phone. Power your phone on by holding power and volume down.
Highlight 'Fastboot' the volume buttons then press power to "select".
Plug your phone into your PC and open a Command Prompt. (windows XP - Click Start > Run > type CMD in box then press OK; Windows 7 - Click Start > type CMD in search box then press Enter) Change directory to your folder where we put fastboot files cd c:\fastboot*
*Alternatively, you can just hold down shift and right click in the folder and select "open command window here". Neat huh?
Type this into your command prompt window: fastboot oem get_identifier_token
Select & copy the text as per step 9 on the HTCDev website
Paste your identifier token into the box at the bottom and submit
You Will Very Shortly Receive an email from HTCDev with a link to the second part of the instructions and your "Unlock_code.bin" attached
Download the "Unlock_code.bin" from the email and save it to the same folder that we extracted fastboot files
Type this into your command prompt window: fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
The Display Will change on your phone, press Vol+ to accept and power to confirm.
Part 2
Overview: flash your recovery. Boot into recovery. Turn phone off if it boots into OS. Boot into back into recovery. You're done!
Download a recovery:
TWRP (the one I use): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173870
CWM 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2172979
CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173863
Place the Recovery file to the folder where the fastboot.exe is.
Same thing as above- boot (volume down + power) into the bootloader and highlight 'Fastboot' the volume buttons then press power to "select".
Do the same thing as with the command prompt above. This time, however, you'll be typing:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_the_recovery.img
For example:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7.img
then type:
fastboot erase cache
From the menu, boot into recovery (use volume to move up and down, power to select). The phone might boot to the OS instead of recovery, don't worry!
Turn off phone then turn on (while holding volume down) to boot back into the bootloader.
TAMPERED shows up, boot into recovery and now your recovery should be working!
Part 3- obtaining root
Overview: flash a super tool
Download a super user tool for root:
SuperSU (I use this one): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

Alternatively, download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266025. This is a stock rooted rom. If you download and flash this instead of the super user tool, you're done. (This rom includes super user)

thanks! this worked great. perfect for all the noobs
Thanks!! I was on the fence about rooting (since the one is so great out of the box) but had an immediate need for tethering. You got me up and running in ~20 Minutes!!
Glad to hear! I think you may have rooted your phone faster than me, lol.
Thank you for this. I am on the fence about which new device i will be purchasing and good to know someone went to the trouble with rooting instructions

The only problem is that it has not been zipped, so we cannot use it to flash back to stock yet. Once it does, I'm going to be all over it! I wish I had been a bit more patient and just stuck out stock a few days more. I would've been able to realize how much disabling of installed apps just through the HTC settings menu. Not everything can be "disabled", but quite a bit can...
One of the few times where I think stock software is pretty good! Props to HTC!
I've heard this kinda thing voids the warranty, is that the case for the t-mobile 0ne?
Great tutorial but as usual I have been having saveer problems getting the HTC device to install properly so it can be detected in fastboot and recovery. Have been trying on both my laptop and desktop all day...

Where are you stuck? I heard there was a problem with Win 8 x64 on usb 3.0.
Their was a problem for me with Windows 7 pro on my desktop but i finaly got it to work on my laptop.. I am led to think due to previous issues ultimate works better than pro or perhaps my hardware configuration on my homebrew leads windows to have certain comparability issues... The issue is spacifically with hardware detection and driver install errors. But like I said I got it to work on my laptop.

How easy is it to revert back to stock if you decide you don't want to use a custom rom anymore? Are factory images available to flash? Is it as easy as Samsung phones?
Alright, this can be a noob-ish question but just wanted to ask if we can unlock the bootloader unofficially by wiping data of current rom and then directly using the fastboot flash *bootlader* command?
Proper Unofficial method suggests the internal storage wipe too, which i don't want.. so is this possible?

I can't figure out root on 6.0.1 either. I just upgraded from rooted 5.0.1 to 6.0.1 using TWRP on WW version of firmware with Padfone S. I immediately flashed SuperSU from TWRP after flashing the update, but the update still broke root. Tried both Kingroot APK and Kingoroot APK + PC without success.
Thanks for that update martingriffis! At least we know that didn't work.
Anyone else has any other solution?

Asus Padfone S Marshmallow Rooted *Working*
If you like me 'get the device and direct update to latest MM', then you need to do something like this.
First you need the device and a computer.
Next is get all files from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62352276&postcount=2 and skip the old supersu and use the new version here https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/supersu/download/zip/SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip
After that enter the device into fastboot mode (Turn on while hold vol up and it will vibrate once and stuck at Asus logo)
Connect the usb to computer, open adb (extract fastboot and adb.rar to new folder, inside it right-click on empty place while holding [Shift] on keyboard, and see for 'Open command window here')
Write first 'fastboot devices' (without quote) to check if the computer detect your device with '(font+number) fastboot' in cmd.
If is working, then you can go to the next step. If not maybe need to get some adb driver to make it working.
Next is extract twrp_2.8.7.0.rar into the adb folder, make sure it is .img file.
At cmd, write 'fastboot flash recovery twrp_2.8.7.0.img' and press enter. If you see some line like this 'remote: can't flash unsigned image' is actually working.
After that write 'fastboot reboot' and press vol down so the device will immediately enter the recovery mode. If working the device will enter TWRP perfectly (opening sometime it will say something about 'read-only', just press 'Back' to get the actual TWRP menu) but if the device just straight boot normally, you need to do the flash recovery back because it failed.
At TWRP menu choose mount, and put some CrowLock_RC3.zip and SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip from your computer to your device folder.
Press back at TWRP and flash the CrowLock_RC3.zip to unlock bootloader first (if you do not see this file, just press 'storage...' at top and choose the actual storage). After done you need to reboot the device and enter fastboot mode again (If you want to make sure your device still working, can just reboot it normally but do back fastboot mode again after that)
Next is flash the old recovery asus_t00n_twrp_2_7_1_1.img. Same step as before. After your reboot the device and enter recovery mode, your screen device will go to black. Actually is working, you just need to press power on once or twice to make the TWRP screen visible.
Next is flash the SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip just like how you flash the CrowLock_RC3.zip before. You can wipe dalvik/cache after that or maybe not, then reboot. Your device will bootloop once and after that you can enjoy your device with root working.
To make sure your device have rooted, use Root Checker. For the first time, supersu will make a long time to prompt it but after that it should working normally like the previous day you use.
Has to be SuperSu 2.79, any higher won't work.
After finished instal twrp 2.7.1.1 and sucess i try to sigin twrp again and My screen change black and i press power once or twice but keep black no change
Can you help me..thx
If your have linux, you can install android-tools, then use fastboot from there.

@wric01 is it true then? Thou when im download the SuperSU.zip that time its still the latest so i thought any latest version should be working.
@Paidi86 just make sure you follow the tutorial correctly.
@xdej well, cuz for smartphone android device, im actually too prefer with 'flash' instead 'install', well for me its still the same meaning.
I got root with my personnal open-source files:
Code:
# /system/bin/id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root), context=u:r:init:s0
How I got there:
(1) install Termux from Google Play
(2) in /data/data/com.termux/files/home, put "CrowLock_RC3.zip" and "SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip".
(3) Install version v19 (will be uploaded soon) of https://sourceforge.net/p/gentooandroid/wiki/InstallingInstructions/ using EPREFIX=/data/data/com.termux/usrex.spartacuside/gentoo_armv6l and PLACE_LD=/data/data/com.symli/n/3 following all instructions (that took me half a day, this installs Gentoo on your phone; if you want I can make an easier way). Don't add any package with emerge, this is not needed at this point.

(5) Connect it to a computer, then power Off the phone, keep "vol up" button pressed before it switches off.
(6) If you did not connect it to a computer, press "power" button
(7) the phone powers on, vibrate a bit, you can release the buttons "power" and "vol up".
(8) you now need another computer. If it is a linux computer, install package android-tools , then run, as root: fastboot flash recovery twrp_2.8.7.0.img ; if it is a windows computer, issue the equivalent instruction with fastboot.exe downloaded from https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62352276&postcount=2 (checksums with sha1sum:
e01c22dc34e915bca88de2c73966b807b2b39f26 fastboot.exe
eb9ce15bebcfb63a5cb4c24913aba76c8d319287 fastboot_and_adb.rar) ; whether you have a mac or no, also download fastboot from https://wiki.lineageos.org/adb_fastboot_guide.html You can ignore the erro "remote: can't flash unsigned image' is actually working": it nevertheless did works.
(9) keep "vol down" pressed on the phone.
(10) on linux, execute: fastboot reboot ; on windows, fastboot.exe reboot I guess
(11) after it vibrates, you can now release "vol down". select "enter recovery mode", then validate with the power button. The phone boots twrp, which is a sort of equivalent of init=/bin/sh on linux.
(12) in twrp, select "keep read-only", then use "install", then select "/data/data/com.termux/files/home/CrowLock_RC3.zip", validate, then repeat steps (5) to (11).
(13) in twrp, select "keep read-only", then use "install", then select "/data/data/com.termux/files/home/SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip", validate, then repeat steps (5) to (11) (if you skips entirely step (13), the phone will not be able to boot).
(14) in twrp, select "advanced", then "terminal command", then select directory /data/data/com.termux/usrex.spartacuside/gentoo_armv6l/usr/local/bin as working directory
(15) execute: mount /system
(16) execute: mv /system/bin/app_process32 /system/bin/app_process.wrapped (you will first need to use backspace to remove characters of previous command, "mount /system")
(17) execute: cp app_process_wrapper /system/bin/app_process32
(18) execute: chgrp shell /system/bin/app_process32
(19) execute: umount /system
(20) use back button three times, and select reboot, then select system.
(21) it should boot normally. It did on my asus padfone S and on my asus padfone S+ (the only padfone with 3GB of RAM).
(22) open tmux, inside it, execute:
Code:
ssh -p 64000 [email protected]
(23) you will be asked the root password that you used at step (2)
if you want to add packages, remember to use
Code:
ssh -p 64000 [email protected]
before using Gentoo's installer:
Code:
PORTAGE_BINHOST=http://sourceforge.net/projects/gentooandroid/files/packages/packages emerge --autounmask-write -GKv firefox

I got root without unlocking, with my personnal open-source method:
Code:
# /system/bin/id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root), context=u:r:init:s0
How I got there:
(1) install Termux from Google Play
(2) Install version v19 (will be uploaded soon) of gentooandroid.sf.net
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can replace step (2) with any other provider of sshd binary:
(2bis) ignore step (2),
(2ter) put any binary you want to be executed with selinux context u:r:init:s0 at /data/data/com.termux/usrex.spartacuside/gentoo_armv6l/usr/local/bin/sshd_root
(2quater) download app_process_wrapper binary
/data/data/com.termux/usrex.spartacuside/gentoo_armv6l/usr/local/bin/app_process_wrapper from the attachment in this message
Then proceed from step (3) onwards.
This may work for other phones supported by twrp, I did nothing asus-specific.
No need to install old recovery. just fastboot your device (power on and vol up) and then do `.fastboot boot asus_t00n_twrp_2_7_1_1.img` it'll boot the old recovery.
Make sure to put supersu in device memory, not sdcard.
The method you give is much simple then the rest. Just want to know if the custom recovery mode is able to enter without unlocked bootloader?
