How to enter flash mode

Power off the tablet, then hold Volume Down when powering on. After a vibration the screen will get stuck on the Lenovo logo, this means fastboot mode is active.

Installation

Note Requires TWRP to be installed as a prerequisite.

Follow the installation instructions as usual, but use adb sideloading.

pmbootstrap init
pmbootstrap install --android-recovery-zip

To flash unmount all partitions and initiate sideloading in TWRP before running this command

pmbootstrap flasher --method=adb sideload

Display issues

The current state is: booting with graphical issues. Pixels are not correctly aligned like here. The system boots and works fine (ssh and touchscreen are both usable).
