Would you be so kind as to upload your nandroid backups? I also have the 830F, but I cannot for the life of me successfully install the latest OTA update. When I rooted based on the instructions from the first post, I forgot to back up my stock ROM. If you can supply that too, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Like others here I had an OTA system update notification after rooting my Yoga 2 830F. Of course it failed, and this was my method of updating successfully, hopefully it may help others, and provide another method to those already described ,with no need to flash ROM.

When I initially had the tethered recovery the first operation I did was to make a nandroid backup before rooting, in case of any problems. I recommend everyone rooting to do this.

To get the OTA installed I first uninstalled all my apps that required root, being sure to restore back to original where they offered the option to do so, not sure if this is really necessary but wanted to try and ensure no system files were left altered. Then I did a full unroot cleanup from inside SuperSU and rebooted.

I got back to a tethered recovery and restored my nandroid backup and rebooted, then I did a factory reset. At this point I ran the OTA on the device and it succeeded.

Going back to a tethered recovery, made another nandroid backup and then rooted again. I can restore back to this nandroid if another OTA comes along that I want to install. Once booted back up I restored apps and data with TB. Then tethered recovery once more and made another nadroid once everything restored.

The nandroids are kept on the external SD card and backed up to pc, just in case.

YT 1050LC

@Paran[dr]oid , @bodivas , @xterminater07

First of all thank you for your great effort in this thread, i have YT2 1050LC, which is the Chinese version, I root it using the temporary CWM, everything was fine, i got an update from s000018 to S00117, I lost the root but i root again, i notice after the update the screen resolution is not like before update, it is blurry and not sharp, i did factory reset and wipe catch and data, the questions is
1- how i can know the screen resolution and how i can change it ( to be sharp). ?
2- can i change it from 1050LC to 1050L and what is the deference?
3- I have Aldiko ebook reader, i want to change the default storage for this program to be the external SD? I tried many ways i.g. KitKat External Card Patch, and changing the permissions in the platform.xml file but no luck, any other way to do it?

Thank you in advanced,

@Paran[dr]oid
thank you for your reply, but what about converting from 1050LC to 1050L?
and the main problem for me is the default storage for the ebook reader app, i have about 35GB ebook and the internal storage is only 16GB?
Thanks

1.Have a look here for your sharpness problem:

2.You can change screen resolution manually in your build.prop or download a proper app from PlayStore.

Hey bro,
the only thing I know about 1050LC/L is that the Chinese version comes without Google apps. Apart this they are equal (but I'm not 100% sure)
And for the Aldiko problem it seems that you need the premium version of it to use the external SD.
