[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][10.0][TB-X704F/L] LineageOS 17.1 for Lenovo Tab4 10 Plus

[Henri_Smets]

Hi,

I just uploaded a new build that includes the September 2022 security patches to AndroidFileHost. It should be possible to dirty flash the ROM over the existing LOS 17.1 build from codeworkx or me, which I again just did successfully.

Thank you! Thank you!

Hi, I'm not able to unlock the bootloader are there any guides available?
I've tried to flash twrp but I get this, so i guess I need to unlock it...

C:\Users\Karl>adb reboot bootloader
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully

C:\Users\Karl>fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\Karl\Desktop\temp\lenovo\twrp-3.7.0_9-0-X704F.img

There's the instructions on the official TWRP site. I probably used these when I first installed TWRP on my Tab 4 10 Pro.

After some desperate googling i found one more (fastboot oem unlock-go) unlock command and now its working.
I used these steps.

1. Prepering files

a) Place files on internal storage:
Rom = lineage-17.1-20221011-UNOFFICIAL-TBX704.zip
Gapps = open_gapps-arm64-10.0-pico-20220215.zip

2. UNLOCKNG THE BOOTLOADER

a) Enable Developer Options (Systems --> About --> Tap "Build Number" 10 times)
b) Tap OEM unlock to enable it
c) Open command prompt.
d) In cmd prompt type without quotes then hit enter: "adb reboot bootloader"
e) In cmd prompt type without quotes then hit enter: "fastboot oem unlock-go"
f) The device will reset and reboot automatically.

g) Don't close cmd prompt and KEEP device connected to computer


3. INSTALLING TWRP (CUSTOM RECOVERY)

a) Copy the twrp-3.7.0_9-0-X704F.img into the Android ADB folder
b) In cmd prompt type without quotes then hit enter: "adb reboot bootloader"
c) In cmd prompt type without quotes then hit enter: "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.7.0_9-0-X704F.img"
d) In cmd prompt type without quotes then hit enter: "fastboot boot twrp-3.7.0_9-0-X704F.img"
e) Wait for it to boot into TWRP

*** Tablet can now be disconnected from computer ***

4. Install

b) Wipe device (not internal storage)
c) Navigate internal storage to folder that contained the files and Flash Rom, Gapps.
d) Reboot device

Hello! Does anyone of you have problems with adding a Google account? When I try it, the screen where I should enter the user's email address hangs and then force-closes.

Everything else seems to work fine (incl. OpenGApps 18.1 stock for arm64), but maybe OpenGApps is the culprit.

Hi, no it's working as expected. I did use pico gapps.

My Lenovo TBX704F has been running pretty nice on the last LineageOS17.1 systems except of showing two problems:

• Sometimes when surfing and clicking on some “special” icon the system only shows me the picture of the icon but does not connect me with the content behind the icon I want to see.
• Charging the device only works when the device is switched on.

Both faults appeared soon after installing one of the first LineageOS17.1 systems. Meanwhile the last update from Ecthelion4 is running.
Does anybody have an idea how to fix these two problems?

 

[Ecthelion4]

I haven't noticed the two issues you reported, otto-xda. Anyone else having the same issues?

P.S.: I have a new build containing the November 2022 security fixes ready, but ATM I can't upload to AndroidFileHost. Will try again the next days.

Hi,

I finally uploaded a new build that includes the November 2022 security patches to AndroidFileHost. It should be possible to dirty flash the ROM over the existing LOS 17.1 build from codeworkx or me, which I again did successfully some days ago.

Sorry, but the download doesn't work. I'm trying to re-upload the file, but until now AndroidFileHost won't let me.

Cheers, unfortunately its only showing an 84mb file from the mirrors...

Yes, I'm also getting this. All mirrors are showing only a 84mb file - which is completely useless :-(. In the file manager view where I'm seeing all my uploaded files on AndroidFileHost it shows the correct size of 598mb. So currently I don't know whether it helps if I try uploading again. But I think I'll do this because it seems the only chance to get it fixed.

Thx a lot for your submissions and building the image with the new patches. I am looking forward to download your freshest release in a while.

Btw virustotal detects in 1 of fourty x scans 1x a dropper, but nevermind. I am just lamentatin'.

My current image works well, i randomly and in less times habe instant reboots and 1/99 times there is no charge while connecting to power source.

Thx dude

I finally managed an upload to AndroidFileHost for the build containing the November 2022 security fixes. You can find it at https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=14871746926876849031. I quickly started a download and at least the estimated file size looks good. So hopefully the full file can this time be downloaded.

 

[deadlast_28]

I can confirm the full file now downloads and updated perfectly. Thanks for maintaining as always!

LineageOS issues

Regarding my link issue:
My Xiaomi smartphone is running on LineageOS 18.1, and it just fails to connect me with the content of exactly the same “special” links where my Lenovo Tab with LineageOS 17.1 always fails. The picture shows one example.
So there seems to be a general Lineage problem or an incompatibility of Lineage with some special links?

Sorry for the late reply. Hard to tell whether this is an LOS issue. Does it work on any non-LOS Android smartphone that you might have or have had? Or perhaps it's a browser issue. Don't know whether the browser you're using on LOS is different from that one you're using on your PC, or is it both Chrome?

Happy New Year!

I just uploaded a new build that includes the December 2022 security patches to AndroidFileHost. It should be possible to dirty flash the ROM over the existing LOS 17.1 build from codeworkx or me, which I again just did successfully.
