Dear Xssia, I managed to get my sn.img file 2 weeks ago through the previously mentioned website https://www.zui.com/iunlock. It was not easy, and I first got an error website many times (stating I had not the right access for that resource). But I discovered that was because I first used my laptop to access that site. It only accepts your request when you use your Lenovo P11 tablet. And you will need to sign up with a Lenovo account first ( you can create one beforehand) and afterwards you will navigate to the second website to collect the sn.img file. Not sure what it was called, but it is in the forum somewhere.


And no, for me the website https://www.zui.com/iunlock is working, not in maintenance.

Hope this helps!

Hi guys,
I would like to unlock my boot loader, but I'm stucking because Bothe sites to get the sn.img file doesn't seems to work.
The first one, even if I replace in the address with my serial number, give me an error 404..
Second tell me that the number of unlock is reached for today... But I saw some posts telling that it's all the time like that?
Any idea for a solution to get my sn.img file?
thanks in advance,

Did you wait at least a day after the tablet initially connected to the internet for bootloader unlocking? It can take some time for Lenovo to register your serial number
 
Thanks for your answer! I tried that guide already, but my tablet is sticking with a black screen once I try to the "adb reboot edl"... So I'll try tomorrow again.. Let's see
It is supposed to be at a black screen in EDL mode. EDL mode is for deep flashing and can help to recover from a hard brick. We are lucky that Lenovo didn't disable this mode.

Hello!!
I finally have been able to get the sn.img from Lenovo this morning!
Now I would like to unlock my boot loader, but I'm facing a problem, or I'm doing something wrong maybe...
After execution the "add reboot bootloader" command, my tablet restart on the boot loader, with "device status - locked" in red (normal at this point, I didn't flash yet...
From there, I'm supposed to launch the "fastboot flash unlock sn.img" command, but the command prompt remains in < waiting for any device > and nothing seems to happened on the tablet...So I'm stucking at this point...
Could anyone help me to go further please?
Thanks in advance

EDIT : Finally I get it working by reinstalling the Lenovo USB Drivers

Hi guys,
I downloaded the "sn.img" from this link
http://cdn.zui.lenovomm.com/developer/tabletboot/my-sn-number/sn.img
but it didn't work. The fastboot command returned this error:
FAILED (remote: 'Serial number not matched')
I can be sure that I have entered the correct sn (in lowercase because I got 404 error with that link if entered the sn in uppercase).
So I tried to submit the https://www.zui.com/iunlock form and it said I had submitted successfully but no email was sent to me. I've checked all my email folders but found nothing.

Can anybody give me some clues or help me with this?
Thank you.

PS: I'm on ZUI 14

How long do you have your tablet? Normally you have to wait at least a day or two after initially connecting it to the internet. If you're using your tablet for some time already you can try requesting the file in a week or so. The Lenovo unlock site can be broken sometimes.

I got the tablet last year and tried to get sn file from https://www.zui.com/iunlock several times but they never send any email.

    How To Lock and Unlock Bootloader - Xioaxin Pad Pro 2021 - TB-J716F

    Since I found out that the Tablet supports Project Treble I'm trying to get a GSI-ROM running on it.
    Currently with many trial and error I got LiR-ROM to boot.
    The first step is to unlock the Bootloader so I thought I will share the process here.
    Your data will be deleted while unlocking, try it at your own risk.

    Unlock Bootloader manually
    Requirement: PC with ADB Fastboot
    1. Go to Settings -> System -> About Phone, tab on it until developer settings are enabled.
    2. Go to Developer Settings and enable "USB Debugging" and "OEM Unlocking".
    3. Open Console and enter "adb devices". Allow USB-Debugging if tablets asks.
    4. Enter command "adb reboot bootloader".
    5. Write down the serial number shown on the bootloader screen
    You can either get the unlock image via this link "http://cdn.zui.lenovomm.com/developer/tabletboot/[your sn number]/sn.img" or via the webseite
    5. Go to the ZUI Unlock Website and request the unlock image

    6. You should get a mail where you can download a file called "sn.img".
    7. Flash the image with fastboot "fastboot flash unlock sn.img"
    8. Enter command "fastboot oem unlock-go", bootloader will unlock now.
    9. Restart with "fastboot reboot".
    Done, your bootloader should be unlocked now.

    Lock and Unlock Bootloader with Batchscript
    I recently found a batch script for lenovo devices in an chinese forum and translated it.
    It's easy and convenient to use. For unlocking you still need the sn.img from the ZUI Unlock Website.
    Download BatchScript

    Hello to everyone, can someone post the exact steps on how to lock the bootloader?
    Thanks
    You need to be on official Chinese ROM first. @Tropaion made a tutorial on how to flash it.
    For locking the bootloader you need to enable USB debugging in developer settings.
    Then plug in the tablet to your PC, open adb shell and type "adb reboot bootloader"
    After it's rebooted to the bootloader type "fastboot flashing lock"
    Then you're done and can reboot.

    Few things to keep in mind: never unplug the tablet when flashing ROMs. Also the locking bootloader command doesn't always work and you might have to try a few times or switch between fastboot and bootloader.

    Hope this helps, there are also a few topics on locking/unlocking if you're stuck.

    @sakun-ice I got LineageOS to run on it today, but it still has 2-3 bugs.

    Thanks @zxcv88

    After installing the lenovo USB driver, the !Android in Other devices was updated.

    Boot into bootloader mode and "fastboot flashing lock" runs without any issue

    Appreciate all for the advise and help! Appreciate ~
