How to enter flash mode

  • EDL Mode: Hold down Volume Up, then connect the device to a computer with an USB cable.
  • Fastboot Mode: Power on the device with both Power and Volume Down buttons.
  • Recovery Mode: Boot into Fastboot mode and select recovery using the Volume/Power buttons.

Unlocking the bootloader

Note Note: You have to wait at least 8 hours after initially connecting to the Internet for Lenovo to process your serial number.
  1. Go to Settings → My Device, tap on ZUI Version until developer settings are enabled.
  2. Go to General Settings → Developer Settings and enable "OEM Unlocking".
  3. Boot into fastboot mode and connect it to a PC
  4. Take note of the serial number shown on the bootloader screen.
  5. Download your sn.img from http://cdn.zui.lenovomm.com/developer/tabletboot/(your_sn_number)/sn.img (Replace the brackets with your number in the link)
  6. Flash your sn.img with fastboot flash unlock sn.img.
  7. 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:

  1. Enter EDL Mode by powering off the tablet first, then hold Volume Up while connecting the tablet to a computer with an USB cable.
  2. Download the qdl tool from here and build it. Arch Linux users can simply install the qdl package.
  3. Download the firmware from here.
  4. Extract the ZIP file.
  5. cd into the extracted ZIP directory
  6. 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
  7. After it has finished, the command will exit itself. Force reboot the tablet by holding Power. Now you should be able to boot back into stock firmware.
