Root [YB1--X90L] how to

[mcn1970]

Anyone tried this on the non-LTE version YB1-X90F?

anyone succeeded rooting with YB1-X90F non LTE?

I'm rooted no problems. I was originally just trying to get wine running and could not access the data folders. Ended up doing a clean rooted install. Doubt we will get many updates now, so I would go for it.

I installed and rooted using Magisk. Seems to work fine.

I have the X90F (non-LTE version).

Used the method described with TWRP and Magisk.

which magisk version you used?

 

[west0ne]

which magisk version you used?

I used the most up to date version at the point I rooted (can"t recall which version it was) and have updated as new releases have become available so I'm on the latest release now.

What is the most recent magisk that would work with https://forum.xda-developers.com/yoga-book/how-to/lenovo-yoga-book-nougat-stock-rom-t3753942 ?

I installed magisk 11.1 but it does not seem any good, it says it installed but the system has no root

Edit: V16 works

1. you need a pc (i assume you are running windows)

2. download the adb driver (--> see download in first post) to your pc and install them

3. on your yoga book navigate to 'developer options' and turn on ' usb debugging' (if there are no developer options, enable them by clicking 'build number' within the 'About tablet' section several times.

4. connect your yogabook with pc - a message should pop up on your yoga book. accept it.

5. in windows open a command prompt and type

adb devices

if adb drivers are working, it will list your device.

6. now unlock the bootloader on your yogabook. BE AWARE THAT UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER PERFORMS A FACTORY RESET!!!

6.1 on your tablet navigate to 'developer options' select "OEM unlocking

6.2 then, on your pc, type the following commands:

adb reboot bootloader

--> it will boot your tablet in bootloader mode --> screen with robot

then type:

fastboot flashing unlock

confirm it.

7. download twrp from here (to your pc) and download magisk.zip from here (to your yoga's external sdcard.)

8. in windows extract twrp.zip and navigate to the folder with its content (=recovery_twrp.img). then press shift + right mouse and 'open a windows command here'

9. again type 'adb devices' to check if your yoga book is still connected

10. then type

adb reboot bootloader

your tablet should boot the bootloader

11. when the bootloader is up and running type the following

fastboot boot recovery_twrp.img

!!!if you changed the filename make sure you change it accordingly!!!

12. your tablet should boot twrp.

13. before you install magisk I suggest to make a backup.

14. then go to 'install' and let twrp install the magisk.zip

15. after flashing, reboot your device and install 'magisk manager' from playstore.

16. check root with any rootchecker. maybe you need to reboot once more.

hope it helps.

I rooted my Yoga Book this way, and all was working great until this morn when I opened Magisk, and it said there was two updates available. One for Magisk Manager, which installed fine, and one to Magisk 18.1. That did not go fine! I did the direct install as recommended and when the tablet rebooted, I got multiple bootloader errors, and I cannot get back into the operating system. Right now it is in the Android recovery, the stock one. I cannot get back to TWRP. The only ADB commands I can send to it are from side load. When I try to side load the twrp image, I get an error on the tablet stating failed to open driver control, no such file or directory. If I could get into TWRP, I could restore the tablet from a backup. I have attached a photo of the errors I am getting. Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you. I was actually able to get my Yoga Book up and running! I had to reload the USB driver when I put the tablet in Fastboot mode. After that I was able to get into TWRP, restore my backup, and re-root it. I downloaded that utility and the stock ROM and will keep it in case I need it in the future.
