Unlocking the bootloader

  • In Android, enable developer options
  • In developer options, enable OEM Unlocking
  • Reboot to bootloader (can be done via adb with adb reboot bootloader)
  • Once in fastboot, run fastboot oem unlock-go from your PC.
  • The system will now reset, all your data will be lost.

How to enter flash mode

  • Fastboot: Power on the device while holding Volume Up and Power.
  • Hard reboot: Press and hold Volume Down and Power until device reboots.
  • EDL: Hold Volume Up and Volume Down while the device is booting. Can be combined with the hard reboot (holding all 3 buttons then releasing Power at the right time.)


Notes

  • Before doing anything with your device, write down your IMEI in case you'd need to use the Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant (EDL flashing).
  • There is a significant time gap between boot and SSH becoming available on downstream.
  • There are many similarities to the [TB-X505x]
