I do not know how much exactly what parameters should be changed to the correct resolution.

Thank you
Your tablet have normally 280 DPI if I'm not wrong. If you've rooted it you can change the DPI manually with ES File Explorer or Root Explorer. Open one of this apps and go to root/system/build.prop open it and look for the parameter: ro.sf.lcd_density=280
Change the number with whatever you like.
Example:
ro.sf.lcd_density=260 or
ro.sf.lcd_density=300
then save the change and reboot. If you don't like the result retry with other resolution.
Be careful because if you make mistakes or you change other things it can happen your tablet won't restart.

I had the same problem. For me nothing helped than to reflash my last firmware. Then i updated normal OTA. After that you lose root but you can redo it.

Thank you for your answer,
have you tried deleting the root with "superSU" to the update ?

The Present
I have just received an update notification on my Lenovo Yoga 2 1050L. Uncharacterisitically, when I tapped on the firmware tab, it resulted in a 'Kind Reminder' pop up which said that it understood my device was rooted and that this update might cause problems.

Any idea what this update is all about? Has anyone updated their devices?

I have a feeling this might be the lollipop update.

Screenshot attached.

Lenovo (India) also confirmed Lollipop on Tab S8. Earlier, they promised an update in May. They seemed to have however pushed the date to June.

There is also an official Chinese Lollipop beta ROM for the Yoga tablet. Let us see what gives. I am also hoping that there is also root soon. No point having an android device without root.

There is still no official Lollipop for Yoga(8/10/13). It will come in this summer
This is summer mate. (Depending on where you live of course :p)

YT2 1050F Flashing instructions
How to update android 5.0 for 830f and 1050f !

I will post the next beta version to forums. If anyone has any good ideas and want to communicate with me, you can mail


It’s a beta 2 of Chinese version, the English version cannot accept updates, so no Google services, you need to install it by yourself.

My own experiment, 830f can also use this version for 1050F, but fonts will be very small, camera has a problem.

Hope someone solve root problems.

From this address to download the Chinese version firmware, backup your data, then brush machine.

3、wait a moment, will update the BIOS, so be patient. (This will take about ten minutes, waiting for the Tablet reboot is done and then proceeded to the forth step of the operation)
4、that this has not been completed. ... KK again refreshed versions of the BIOS.
(1) wait for the BIOS update is complete.
(2) after the update is complete. shutdown brushes the Flash.XML, into 100% and select reboot to restart the tablet .


We have a small discovery:
How to flash Yoga from Android version to win8! Now, we have found a way to enter BIOS!
When lollipop version is downgraded to Kitkat version, if we choose the Flash.XML, it will reboot to desktop when a command is reboot into driodboot mode, This command will not work !
When the command is Sleep for 25 seconds on screen, Long press the power button about 10s directly to turn off the pad completely, Then press and hold the volume down key, Then press the power button, the pad will entry driodboot mode. Progress bar starts moving! wait for the flash is complete, reboot!
You will entry the bios!

You can seem to be flashing win8!
But we found that it appears to be unable to identify startup programs of win8……
People who are interested can try it.
But you may need to turn to the after-sales service to help you reflash android……
