    Post [ROM][UNOFFICIAL][10.0][tb8704f/x/v] LineageOS 17.1 for Lenovo TAB 4 8 plus

    I installed that version. My tablet (8704F) runs very smooth. I only have two problems (so far ;): 1) Huge battery drain (>>10% within 12 hours waiting in standby, even in extreme power save mode) 2) Often the tablet doesn't connect to my saved WIFI network, even though I see it in the network...

    Post [Guide] Debloat Fire HD 8 (2017), install Google Family Link - Root Required

    I solved the problem: I installed lineageos and Gapps (as described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82921395&postcount=524). Everything works smooth and I am able to update the Prime Video App, even to a beta version. :)

    Are you able to update the Amazon Prime Video App so you get a newer version with profiles?

    Found a DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk which works. But: I already checked for updates a lot of times and several system apps were updated. No new updates are found anymore. And my Prime Video app hasn't changed. I need the profiles function included in the newer versions. It seems I can't get it :(

    Thank you! I renamed the os number. But I do not have "DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk" in '/system/priv-app. There is only a directory named "DeviceSoftwareOTAContracts" Where can I get the right version? Wasn't included in the firmware of this thread. And: Does the apk need to be copied to...

    Thank you! I need the ability to have profiles within Prime Video and that's not possible with the version included here. So far I found no posibility to replace the installed version of Prime Video with a working newer apk. Neither with ADB nor with Titanium Backup Pro.

    I tried to root the Fire HD 8 (2017) from my daughter as described in #1. I have the newest firmware and understood that will work too - I only have to brick the tablet. Unfortunately after the step "sudo ./bootrom-step-minimal.sh" the tablet is stuck in a bootloop (Amazon logo, reboot...

    Sorry for my late reply. Thank you. Flashed with QFIL, unfortunately lost all my data. I had a TWRP-backup, but couldn't mount data again. Anyway, all works again :) Use Titanium now for scheduled backups.

    Help: Boot Loop after Root of Oreo-Update I have a TB-8704F which was rooted. Un-rooted it (uninstalled magisk as described) and updated to Oreo OTA. Worked fine.

    I have no idea either... Just tried again: Installed the zip-file. Then formatted data. Restored my data (from exactly this device). Wiped dalvik and cache. Restarted.

    I tried both. Made no difference. Doesn't flashing twrp modify the bootloader so nore mot OTAs are possible? Yes. First boot before restoring data => no password / unlock pattern (instead: setup assistant)
