So far, No.

It is NOT advisable to flash 1300T ROM to SD870 DEVICE.
Clearly understood about it.

*Just pretend it as a rumor*
Yet I recently came across some random reply, claiming that they'd swiped the ROM into crDroid and worked perfectly fine🤔; though I can't find such firmware of corresponding model under the Lenovo family on the website.
Inspite of that, I think that installing the custom, stable ROM alike crDroid for TB138FC-SD870 is feasible in the coming future, right?

I wonder if they are willing to upload the full ROM package for us, or would it just incremental package just like before? Even I really need an official full ROM package when things go wrong, like in my case, I did send my device back to the Hong Kong store where I bought it. My device just won't get turned on anymore, so the last option I had to do was claim a warranty. It s*cks that I have to pay for the delivery fee. But I hope it can fix the issue.
If I encounter the same error, then I wouldn't want to buy a Lenovo tablet anymore 🤔; I will use Xiaomi again since they give more support and transparency on their ROM package (it can be accessed publicly).

So far are not sure how the update will be. But if it is still ZUI 14, I bet it will be incremental.

But if it is ZUI 15, I'm pretty sure it will be full ROM.

Let's wait for the official and I will copy the update package file to host in cloud for you.

After all, on the screen you can see that it is unfortunately ZUI 14

I just bump into their Weibo official account time to time and saw that info. If you could read Chinese, you could go in here.
I really appreciate your informations, I hope they'll soon release the full ROM package when ZUI 15 release, so user can fix the immature software issue by their own.
I wasn't expecting that Lenovo is more less put attention about this one, which in Xiaomi brand will give better support regarding ROM package (maybe it's because from the beginning, Xiaomi focusing on their mobile products).

Since they are already promoting ZUI 15, we might not be far from it.

However, as I red from the Chinese forum, they said that ZUI 14 feature was fixed to have no PC mode when attached the keyboard. This will not change.

Unless ZUI 15 might had include that. So, hopefully this is true where we are expecting ZUI 15 with PC mode by the tablet itself.

    I asked for a guide on the TG group, and here is the link someone gave me:

    Thanks a lot.
    Finally, after a few months, I was able to upload the software and start my tablet. Everything according to the tutorial with the difference that you had to choose "meta build" and not flat.

    Instructions for getting root TB138FC runing ZUI 14

    Read carefully:​

    All actions below are at your own risk. I did this and above posted Magisk patched boot.img for firmware 14.0.820.​


    UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER:
    * This will delete all you data

    Step 1: Go to SETTINGS Menu and click multiple times on your ZUI version. This will give you Developer access.
    Step 2: Go General Settings menu > Developer options
    Step 3: Click to enable OEM unlocking, also enable debugging mode.
    Step 4: Download platform-tools_r34.0.1-windows to your computer, you may also need usb_driver_r13-windows, unpack everything in a convenient place for you
    Step 5: Go to the platform-tools folder and run the command prompt by writing CMD in the folder header and press Enter
    Step 6: Connect your USB cable and run the following command:
    adb reboot bootloader

    Step 7: Run the following command:
    fastboot flashing unlock

    On your tablet Click volume UP to unlock your bootloader
    Wait for the confirmation on the tablet screen

    Step 8: Run command:

    GETTING ROOT ACCESS:
    Put your Qualcomm device in 9008 mode
    * You may need a qualcomm usb driver for 9008 mode to work properly

    Step 1: Turn off the power, then hold Volume UP and insert the USB cable connected to the PC into the tablet
    Step 2: Use the EMMCDL_GUI tool to dump partitions boot_a and boot_b

    In the program, select the brand Lenovo, model TB-J716F and download the file 29-11-2022_19-32-13_prog_firehose_ddr.elf
    Then you need to select the physical partition number 4, select the UFS memory type, and click get GPT partition table
    In the list, select the boot_a and boot_b sections and click read from device in the context menu
    The resulting partition dumps will be located at \EMMCDL_GUI_1.5\Temp
    Disconnect the tablet from the PC, hold volume DOWN and power button for ~10 seconds until you feel the vibration

    Step 3: When the tablet boots into the system, enable USB debugging via ADB in the developer settings

    Go to the folder with platform tools and start the command line by writing CMD in the folder header

    Enter the command to determine the effective slot:
    adb shell getprop | grep slot
    If you see ro.boot.slot_suffix=_b, then the system is running on slot b. If ro.boot.slot_suffix=_a then slot a
    Install the latest version of MAGISK manager app on your tablet
    Copy the current boot_*.bin to your tablet (Instead of an * , select your version received by the grep slot command)
    Open MAGISK and click Select and patch a file. Find the boot_*.bin you copied and patch this file. Wait for the process to be completed
    Copy Magisk patched boot from the Download folder on your device to the platform-tools folder on your PC, then rename it to boot.img

    In the command line window on the computer, enter the command:
    adb reboot bootloader

    When the tablet boots into fastboot mode, enter the command:
    fastboot flash boot boot.img

    Wait for it to complete then:
    Done, your tablet is now rooted

    Awesome guide @BlackVictor , I rewrote it on Rentry to make it a little more clear and better visuals.

    Good Day !
    Are we have any chance to active google account in this tablet ? or any international ROM to solve this issue ?
    It did work with the following steps:
    1. Install Google Playstore apk (from APKMirror and look for ARM64-v8a architecture)
    2. Install Google Play Services apk (from APKMirror and look for ARM64-v8a architecture)
    3. Install Google Services Framework 12 apk (from APKMirror and look for ARM64-v8a architecture)
    4. Turn on the Google Basic Services:
      Settings -> Apps management -> 3 dots on the top right -> Google Basic Services

    Not sure if app like the PWMfree will fix the green tint issue.
