Bro, not dirty flash, instead clean flash -install with the help of Lenovo software LMSA. It will erase everything. Then do the process again via adb and try to install bgN image.

- Thread starter shnioob
- Start date

thanks
thanks
ok... here it comes...
1 Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant - install and reset Tablet to latest version (reboot once then reboot into bootloader)
2 use linux ( since MTK Driver are ***** on windows) to "fastboot flash recovery twrp*.img & vbmeta & fastboot reboot recovery
3 in TWRP delete Data, dirtyflash CAOS GSI
4 Wait... and CAOS boots
5 Remarks:
CAOS does not work with Magisk (Tried it and CAOS would only bootlogo for ages) - Is there a nice working Root?
none of the others GSI will work
(I reset the tablet about 8 times to test it all out)
Cheers

mate 
you should make a clean flash installation.

which one worked for you?
sounds great. Thinking about buying this, too.
anyone tried to compile the kernel from the source lenovo provided?

i think no one has built anything separately for this tablet..
GSI is what has been tested.. i reverted back to Stock.. in the GSI lot of scrolling shuttering, Youtube forcecloses (haave to use Vance), Not seeing any majot update over the Stock version with my testing. flashed back the TWRP backup and rooted..
Maybe any LineageOS specifically built for this tablet might be a better choice...
OK. Doesn't sound too good... Though, I did not expect the gsi not to perform well. On the phones I had used recently, I did not notice issues like you described
What about the dock. Does it sill function with gsi?
i dont have any dock to test it. ..OK. Doesn't sound too good... Though, I did not expect the gsi not to perform well. On the phones I had used recently, I did not notice issues like you described

The guide worked well. Only getting an error in TWRP "failed to mount '/system_root' (Invalid argument). But despite that, the LOS19.1 ROM boots up and works just fine. LOS20 also flashes and boots up but I can't use Google apps. Tried Pixel Experience, same problem. They install and then repeatedly ask to log into a google account. So for the moment, I'm sticking with LOS19.1. The light version wouldn't boot, stuck on the boot logo. The TD variant "worked".
Edit: Turns out for some reason Gapps now won't work even on LOS19. Probably screwed something up. I'll reset to stock and try again both LOS20 and 19.
Edit2: Alright, turns out that TWRP3.6 is not made to work with Android 13. So, whatever I did to flash in the first place was probably just an accident/fluke.

Puhhh. Finally got something built and booting. Still don't know why adb only works after device is already booted up... 
NIce. Did you use the stock kernel, or did you get the opensource compiling?
Apologies if this is an inappropriate question for this thread - I'm a newbie. I just purchased a Tb-x606f tablet. It has a cut down version of Android 10. I can't encrypt the SD card due to this. What's the easiest way to solve this issue? Can I install the full version of Android 10?
oh, missed this... it's the stocvk kernel...currently checking, what can be done to the system...
implemented lenovo show mode in aosp ten gsi

11Hi, I'm a long-time lurker on these forums but recently had some success flashing a GSI and rooting the Lenovo Tab M10 Plus (FHD) (X606F) with TWRP, and wanted to share my exact steps here. This device is awesome for the price point but unfortunately not popular enough to have many guides available. The tablet is Project Treble compatible and uses A/B roms (although it is not an A/B device in terms of OTA updates). You can use the Treble Info app to confirm that the devices uses an ARM64 A/B operating system. This was tested with the CAOS 11 GSI based on Android 11; it may work on other GSIs and other Android versions but I have not tested those (NOTE: user below confirms working on Android 12). I've written this guide at a bird's-eye-view meant for users familiar with flashing.
A couple useful notes before we begin:
- Hardware force off: hold down both volume buttons + power button
- Hardware boot into bootloader: while powered off, hold volume down + power button
- Hardware boot into recovery: hold down both volume buttons + power button
- While in fastboot mode, the command `fastboot reboot recovery` does not work for me on this device. You may have to hardware boot into recovery using the hardware steps above (power off completely then hardware boot). [This command may work for some people. It does not work for my device.]
Obviously, make sure your bootloader is unlocked before starting.
1. I used Ubuntu since Windows was having trouble recognizing the device in fastboot mode; linux drivers seem to be better developed for this particular device. I used `sudo apt install android-sdk` to get the drivers. Much easier than the nonsense that you have to do on Windows to get this device to work. Unfortunately, the Lenovo rescue app is available only for Windows, so you'll need access to Windows to gain access to vbmeta.img for installing TWRP (below).
2. Install TWRP following this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...rp-3-5-x-for-lenovo-tab-m10-fhd-plus.4222887/. It is important that you follow all these steps. After flashing the recovery, you must reboot into recovery to ensure that TWRP permanently installs. If the `fastboot reboot recovery` command does not work for you, hold down the power button to power off the device, then hardware boot into TWRP by holding down both volume buttons + power button to boot into TWRP. If you do not perform this step, the device will boot normally and TWRP will be erased. After booting into TWRP, wipe -> format data.
3. In TWRP, flash CAOS 11 GSI: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/official-aosp-r-mod-caos11.4265059/. You can try with other GSIs - it will probably work - but I've only tested this particular one, and can attest for the stability of CAOS 11 on this device. The image you'll want is named with -arm64-bgZ. If you use another GSI, make sure to use the A/B arm64 image. CAOS 11 has gapps included, so no need to flash here; if you use another GSI that does not have, you'll need to flash the appropriate gapps yourself. You can also opt for the non-gapps download if you don't want Google spying on you.
4. (Optional/No longer necessary) In TWRP, flash to disable dm-versity: https://zackptg5.com/android.php#disverfe.
5. (Optional - many GSIs come with root) In TWRP, flash standard Magisk.zip: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk. I didn't need to use Magisk-Phh.
6. Reboot system.
7. You may or may not get errors from Google Play saying that the device is not certified. Follow these steps:
- Sign into Google account on device via settings
- Download and install the Get ID app: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/makeinfo.com.getid/
- Open the app and Copy Google Service Framework Key
- Go to https://www.google.com/android/uncertified/
- Sign in and paste the copied value to it, register
- Reboot (this actually took me a few tries to get working, I believe the key is to make sure you're signed into your Google account)
- Google Play should be working
Feel free to ask any questions here.3Nice thread. Here's some thoughts to help make this process simpler.
Following the numbering in the OP:
- If you are using Windows, just make sure you have the latest OEM drivers from Mediatek (MTK).
- after flashing TWRP and vbmeta, you can try
fastboot reboot recoveryto boot to twrp. I know the OP says it doesn't work, but it works on my TB-X606FA.
..and it's also a good idea to format data, especially if you're upgrading to a new OS level. This will delete everything on the data partition. - phhusson keeps a list of GSIs based on his work.
- this step is now optional. TWRP (v3.6.0) has been patched to handle the A12 keymaster.
- many GSIs come with root as standard. If yours does (or if you installed Magisk-Phh), then you can use the Magisk app as a root manager, but be aware that updating Magisk from inside the app might break the GSI.

- some of the latest GSIs have fixed this issue and the integrated gapps should just work.
1I installed CAOS 11 and it worked great on my Lenovo Tab M10 X606F! I also was able to flash CrDroid 8.4 ( Android 12) and this Rom also installed and is currently running great on my tab! It does say device not certified in Play Store but I have not had any issues with Gapps and installing or restoring my apps and games. Hulu was not available but I was able to sideload it and it works great! I don't use Netflix but it was unavailable in Play Store as well I think because the device is rooted! Only thing I notice so far is theming picks one color no matter what wallpaper I load or even if I choose custom color!1
What a pity. It could be interesting to give a try to this, even though your tablet is on L3 level:
