Hmm, it's very strange GPU go to 670MHz only on Genshin.
All my games Fortnite, COD, PUBG, it's 305MHz.

Can somebody who has latest zui14 installed, please confirm:

1) you don't have any issues with tablet rebooting or not being able to launch certain apps.

2) after installing app "switch PC mode", which was provided on same xda thread before, you can turn on PC mode on the tablet, even if it is not connected to external monitor?

I got tired of zui and the notification situation, plus app defaults I changed kept reverting. I decided to install GSI CrDroid 9.1 following the great SmartASW guide linked in this thread.
Overall it's great, though I'd like lockscreen and homescreen to auto-rotate. I've been reading about Magisk but it's been a long time since I was last switching ROMs and for some reason I don't yet feel confident enough to do it.

Does anyone have any more recent experience with other GSI ROMs? If so could you let me/us know if CrDroid is still the one to stick with or if something else is more polished? Other than the auto-rotate and auto-brightness I don't have many issues, just want to get as much "working" as possible.

I switched to CrDroid but for 1) on zui14 I had no issues with the tablet rebooting. I think it did it randomly one time not long after I updated to zui14 but that was all. I had no issues with any apps I installed.

2) I didn't install this so can't comment about it, sorry

I bet they have some boost option hard coded
It's working now but I don't now really how i do that, maybe enforced GPU Optimisation with GFX TOOLS for PUBG and BGMI
On Fortnite i have no lag now, the GPU change the frequency automatically 305 to 400, 441, 490, 525, 587 and 670MHz :)

Post in thread 'Legion Y700?' https://xdaforums.com/t/legion-y700.4418573/post-87748953

2.matter of opinion. Currently am still running CRDroid 12L ive not looked back.

3. This has been mentioned aswell in this thread on how to possibly do it, tho its not been reported as 100% working by everyone's that tried. Personally i havnt bothered to re-lock it, dont care about it being unlocked.

4 all these questions and answers are available in this thread yet again if you read it all.
Spend the time reading and you have all these answers plus more.
:)

Hey mate, quick question. Everyone seems to point to Nazim's crdroid. Any idea why? I currently have his crdroid 8.9. while it's good, audio out via HDMI Isnt working which is a bummer and also OTA updates don't seem to be working. Due to my job I really need to be staying as up to date as possible on security patches. I don't really want to flash a ROM every few months either. This is leading me to want to install the official crdroid and got me wondering if there's a reason why everyone points to Nazim's build for the y700

Much thanks
Alex

Rebooting? Send back. You are screwed.

The sweet part is boot.img is available so magisk patched to root is possible. I hope newest 14.0231 is released soon

    Found an update 15.0.418 for Y700 (2022) today. Update log:
    1. Optimize the caller ID in wechat video
    2. Optimize the audio effects in the game
    3. Update the security patch
    4. Optimize system stability

    OTA zip (15.0.361-15.0.418) and stock boot.img are uploaded to MEGA:


    Steps to keep the current Magisk installation after an OTA:
    1. Enable ADB debugging
    2. (Optional) Enable logcat and search for ".zip" after starting to download an update. This reveals the OTA URL (example: https://ota-cdn.lenovo.com/firmware/2024219134334518-6709.zip). The OTA zip file can be used for a local install from stock recovery.
    3. Pause the OTA before the download completes
    4. If there's already a Magisk backup of current boot.img, go to Magisk app -> Uninstall Magisk -> Restore Images
    5. If there's no backup, the Restore Images command would fail. For the OTA installation to succeed, you need to manually flash the stock boot.img of your current OS version to the correct boot_a/boot_b partition.
      1. To get the current partition suffix, run from adb shell (su):
        Code:
        /bin/getprop ro.boot.slot_suffix
      2. To flash a boot file in internal storage, run from adb shell (su):
        Code:
        dd if=/sdcard/<path-to-boot.img> of=/dev/block/platform/soc/1d84000.ufshc/by-name/boot_a (or boot_b)
      3. Swap "if" and "of" to backup the current (Magisk-patched) boot.img if needed.
    6. Install the OTA and wait for it to finish, DO NOT REBOOT NOW
    7. Go to Magisk -> Install -> Install to Inactive Slot (After OTA). This will save a backup for the new boot.img after OTA to /data/magisk_backup_*.
    8. Reboot and Magisk will remain active!

    Cool, definitely worked. My last issue is that in app purchases don't work. Wondering is the Play Store and Play Services apks might fix that? I have tried installing various available versions but none have worked (for Tasker for example, though for that I bought the non-play version)
    I don't know about purchases. On my country turned off financial operations through google pay.

    Bricked Lenovo Y700? Follow this guide.


    Windows guide, might work for other aswell.

    I finally solved my problem with my Lenovo Y700 tablet being stuck in bootloop mode due to trying to flash Magisk boot with a mismatched firmware version. This resulted in the UI constantly crashing, and I could not connect to Wi-Fi, and other problems...
    I tried flashing back to stock with QFIL, which put the device in a bootloop. I will explain why later on.

    I also lost recovery mode due to trying to solve the problem, and now I was stuck with either showing the bootloader screen, or restarting the tablet, which brought me back to the bootloader.

    So the tablet was now genuinely useless. This is what I did to bring back the stock ROM and later flash to crDroid 8.10.
    Flashing boot.img, system.img or recovery.img was no luck.

    First off, there is no need to have unlocked "USB debugging" before your tablet bricked.
    Second, you don't need to have your "sn.img" file from Lenovo, you can unlock the bootloader using fastboot commands.
    Fastboot commands works on the bootloader screen, without having ADB connection.

    Start by downloading these four files:
    Platform tools r33.0.2
    QPST_2.7.496
    Qualcomm_USB_Driver_v1.0
    Lenovo Y700 tablet stock ROM


    We'll start by unlocking your bootloader. You can do this from the bootloader screen. If you for some reason can enter recovery mode, enter fastboot.

    1. Connect your tablet to your PC.

    2. Open a terminal windows in the ADB folder. On Windows 11 this can be done by right-clicking inside the ADB folder and select "Open in terminal". If you don't have that option, try Shift + Right-click. If that doesn't work, you can always start the terminal by pressing Win + R, and type in "cmd" without citations. Now you have to navigate to your ADB folder by typing
    Code:
    cd (here you'll type in the location of your ADB folder)
    Without the brackets.

    3. When located, type in
    Code:
    fastboot devices
    You should see your tablet in the list.
    If not, try using another cable or USB port on your PC.

    4. Now type in
    Code:
    fastboot oem unlock-go
    Restart your tablet, and it should now say "unlocked" under "DEVICE STATE" in the bootloader.

    5. Now you can start by installing the programs on your PC, QTPS, Qualcomm driver and platform tools.

    6. Extract ALL files from your stock ROM to the "bin" folder in QTPS location (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Qualcomm\QPST).
    This will help with Sahara errors in QFIL.

    7. Open QFIL from your QTPS bin folder, it installs with QTPS. Don't worry if it shows "No Port Available", we'll get to that. Your configuration should look like this:

    QFILconfpng.png


    Your main window should look like this:

    qfil.png


    Don't worry about the "status" window.

    Hit "browse" in the "Programmer Path" window, and navigate to your QTPS bin folder. Select "prog_firehose_ddr.elf"
    Hit "Load XML", and navigate to your QTPS bin folder. Now, select ALL of the "rawprogram" files (my first mistake, I only selected the "rawprogram_unsparse0.xml" file on first flash)

    In the next window, select ALL of the "patch" files (my second mistake, I only selected the "patch0.xml file" on first flash).
    Without doing this, you will only flash a portion of the ROM, and not all of the partitions needed.

    8. Now it's time to reboot you tablet into EDL mode to be able to flash. Start your tablet by pressing VolUp + Power button.
    If you can't turn off your tablet when connected to PC, just select "Power off", and just hold the VolUp button as soon as the device vibrates and reboots, keep holding until the screen flickers and turns off.

    9. Now QFIL should detect the Qualcomm 9008 port. If not, hit "Select Port" and select the Qualcomm 9008 port.

    10. Hit the now available "Download" button, and the flashing should begin. Allow it to run its course, and it should reboot the tablet when done. Might take a while.

    If flashing won't start properly, you might have waited too long between entering EDL mode and hitting the "Download" button.
    If so, disconnect your device, which might now be "dead".

    Don't worry, you can fix this be holding VolUp + VolDown + Power button for a long time, say about a minute to be sure. Release the Volume keys some second before releasing the Power button.
    Hit the power button again, and the tablet should boot to bootloader screen again.
    Repeat the steps to enter EDL mode, and now hit the "Download" button in QFIL when it becomes available, don't wait too long.


    You're done!

    I recommend opening "Settings", enable "Developer" option, by pressing the "Build number" on the "About tablet" screen repeatedly until a pop-up appears saying "You are now a developer".
    Open "Developer options" and hit "Enable USB debugging", it will allow you to run ADB commands from your platform tools folder.
    If you want, you can again open the terminal in the platform tools folder and type
    Code:
    adb devices
    It should now show your device in the list.

    Now you can uncheck the "OEM unlocking" in the "Developer options" which should let you get OTA updates when available.

    There are plenty of guides on how to flash different GSI's like crDroid, so I won't cover that here.

    Enjoy your tablet!

    Hi all.
    I just got this tablet yesterday.
    Language available on tablet are chinese and english maybe (morelocale2 could be useful)
    Google play services can be download directly from ZUI app store inside the tablet.
    Widevine L1.
    not sure about root or unlock bootloader (didn't use android device for a long time)

    Okay. I have managed to do everything from combined insights. So, let me save you guys the trouble I had by writing my proces down (and for myself for the future).
    I came from the 'global rom'. And wanted to end with 13.1.578 ROOTED

    1. Download this file. It contains the stock firmware on 13.0.586. Unzip it, and find the recovery.img as we need it later.
    2. Upgrade all the way you like through OTA.
    3. Flash TWRP from here. Know that it is a 'faulty' version with only a line on top of the screen. And this vbmeta file. Place both files in your ADB folder.
    4. Use ADB to extact the boot.img from the version you are on.
    4.1 Boot into the bootloader (adb reboot bootloader).
    4.2 disable AVB (not sure this is necessary, but it worked for me) by sending the following commands:
    fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
    fastboot erase userdata
    4.3 Instal TWRP by sending this command : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (note that you use the name you gave your TWRP file)
    4.4 reboot in recovery mode (fastboot reboot recovery/manually on the tablet)

    Now the TWRP recovery should load, with only a line on top, and nothing else.

    4.5 In the TWRP recovery enter: adb shell (you should see a # appearing in the line)
    4.6 Send these commands out:
    dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img
    adb pull /sdcard/boot.img stock_boot.img


    what this does, is extracting the boot.img of that specific version you are running, and placing a copy of it into your adb folder.
    4.7 send these commands to get back to the bootloader:
    twrp reboot bootloader

    5. Flash back the stock recovery. If you followed the guide, you have the stock recovery from step 1. Give it a fancy name, and place that file in your adb folder and sending this command:
    fastboot flash recovery yourfancyname.img
    fastboot reboot


    Now it may give some warnings and errors. It told me to do a factory wipe, wich was okay for me. After that the tablet starts normally. Stock firmware, but still on the same version I wanted.

    6. Now the easy part starts. The stock_boot.img you got in step 4.6, should be on your pc. After the inital setup on the tab, place that in your root folder. Download Magisk and install it on your tablet. When it is installed, click on 'install' and 'select and patch a file'. Select the stock_boot.img you moved to the root of your tablet. The patched file will be in your download folder. Transfer that patched file to your adb folder on the computer.

    7. Go into adb and boot the tablet into recovery mode (this should be the stock recovery again): adb reboot recovery.

    8. In recovery mode, go to fastboot. It'll say fastbootd on top.

    9. Enter this command: fastboot flash boot patched-file-of-magisk.img

    10. Restart the tablet. Congrats, you now have rooted your desired version.

    It might be to much info, but I wish I had these steps. It was late yesterday. Very late...So to save you the troubles, I present you my humble guide. If you have improvements in the steps or instructions, please let me know!!

    Greeting Y700 users 😋
    I found an article regarding y700 with gsi
    but it is in japanese
    very detailed guide
