Install from fastboot, no recovery needed

fastboot flash system caos-v316-220321-arm64-bvZ-lite.img

NOTE: There are some risks to install an GSI, biggest problem is to return to stock as there no guides. There is an way with QPST tool but its somewhat complicated

I don't think you can return to stock ever? The unlock site says that unlocking is irreversible, meaning you cannot relock the bootloader. Can you install the stock ROM with an unlocked bootloader?

Also, note that some company (mine for example) requires a locked bootloader to enable Work Profile. If you are in the same boot, even if you flash a ROM that supports Work Profile, it will still not work, unfortunately.

It is possible to restore stock and relock bootloader. The unlocked bootloader warning still there tho.
The restore process is a bit complicated as you need to use Qfil sw ( Qualcomm flash image loader) and you need the QPST firmware for Y700,

How does this GSI work with Google apps like drive and Google one? Are you able to backup the device? Can you use U.S. banking apps ? Thanks

How would you even go about obtaining those recovery files. I'm still waiting for about a $50 price drop on giztop before I bite.

I have flashed a lot of GSI on this tablet so far.
Here is a summary of the bugs and other issues that I have noticed in them.
※All of them are Android 12L except for the ones without special notes.

①Corvus OS, Descendant OS, Cherish OS...Lock screen does not rotate. Probably because it is based on Google Pixel ROM. Corvus also does not have face unlock. The latest Corvus also added this.
②Ancient OS(Android 12.0)...Lock screen does not turn to landscape. Also, when I change the username or photo at the top of the settings, the settings app crashes. Also note that the settings app crashes if you change the username or photo above the settings.
③Proton AOSP...When I restarted to set up Magisk, the settings app repeatedly stops. Deleting app data and cache had no effect.
④Havoc OS(Android 11)...The startup logo does not appear in the first place and comes back to the bootloader.
⑤Superior OS...It started, but the FPS dropped extremely. I judged that it is difficult to use regularly.
⑥Pixel Experience…The screen is still not landscape. Also, it seems that it is not optimized for tablets any more than Descendant, and when I call the dock while launching an app(the feature of 12L), the icon looks like it has been split in half.
⑦All of NipponGSI...Like Havoc OS, it comes back to the bootloader. It may be a bad compatibility.
⑧Lineage OS…There was a switch "Rotate lock screen" in the settings. But I don't use it, because the "su" binary is still in the root file and can't delete it ,so interferes with SafetyNet.
⑨Arrow OS...This also allows the lock screen to be turned landscape and is also very light. Although the lack of face unlock is a demerit (LSPosed module didn't work→https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/11-universalauth-face-unlock-for-all-roms.4419343/).But there are few complaints for me. So I'm using it regularly.

I'm sorry if it's hard to read because I'm not good at English. Thank you.

With the Arrow OS on the Y700, are you able root with Magisk?

Yes. However, don't expect SafetyNet to pass.
In 12.0, I was able to pass this just by installing the latest Universal SafetyNet Fix module. But in 12L, I was blocked even using the MagiskHide Props Config.
I'm fortunate that it doesn't affect my regular apps such as Kindle.

I usually use Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram a lot, and notifications work without any special settings.

Hi here owners of the Y700. Some website mention that it has a cellular modem built-in. Is that true?

 

[NisseGurra]

No cellular or gps included

what GSI rom are you using? I'm using the pixel Experience as it seems to be the nicest clean android experience, but the icon split in half is annoying. I use a different launcher and that hides the icons but if I long press my bottom bar it shows up again all distorted.

 

[Honkbeep04]

Can any owners report on eye fatigue with the IPS screen? I have loved my 3 OLED phones but they seem to make my eyes tired or even greasy after prolonged use, slightly more than my ipad. My IPS laptop still causes some fatigue but it's older and has laggy Windows scrolling.

I recommend DescendantOS and ArrowOS.
The first has a face unlock feature instead of not having the screen in landscape mode, and the second can have the lock screen in landscape mode instead of not having face unlock.
This is the only trade here, but I have not identified any other glitches that I have noticed.
I use ArrowOS.

Thanks for the reply. Do you have a link to that ROM? Did you install magisk as well? Thanks

This is the first time hearing that there is no GPS with the Y700. Disappointing.
