Unlocking the bootloader
Note: You have to wait at least 8 hours after initially connecting to the Internet for Lenovo to process your serial number. |
- Go to Settings → My Device, tap on ZUI Version until developer settings are enabled.
- Go to General Settings → Developer Settings and enable "OEM Unlocking".
- Boot into fastboot mode and connect it to a PC
- Take note of the serial number shown on the bootloader screen.
- Download your
sn.img
from http://cdn.zui.lenovomm.com/developer/tabletboot/(your_sn_number)/sn.img (Replace the brackets with your serial number in the link) - Flash your
sn.img
withfastboot flash unlock sn.img
. - Unlock the bootloader with
fastboot oem unlock-go
Alternatively this page can also be used to get the sn.img
.
Alternative method
This method can be used to unlock the bootloader without having to wait and connecting to Lenovo's server. It works by modifying the serial number with EDL and using a pre-made unlock file for that serial number.
EDL Mode
The necessary loader for bkerler's EDL tool can be found in this firmware file (prog_firehose_ddr.elf
).

Back to stock firmware
Linux tutorial:
- Enter EDL Mode by powering off the tablet first, then hold while connecting the tablet to a computer with an USB cable.
- Download the qdl tool from here and build it. Arch Linux users can simply install the qdl AUR package.
- Download the firmware from here.
- Extract the ZIP file.
- cd into the extracted ZIP directory
- Execute the following command:
qdl --storage ufs --include ./ ./prog_firehose_ddr.elf ./rawprogram0.xml ./patch0.xml ./rawprogram1.xml ./patch1.xml ./rawprogram2.xml ./patch2.xml ./rawprogram3.xml ./patch3.xml ./rawprogram4.xml ./patch4.xml ./rawprogram5.xml ./patch5.xml ./rawprogram_unsparse0_fullupgrade.xml
- After it has finished, the command will exit itself. Force reboot the tablet by holding . Now you should be able to boot back into stock firmware.
