New firmware update, just popped up randomly. Didn't have to use VPN to download or install. Google Translated notes.

I don't know if Lenovo checks this forum, but my biggest issue is the fact that the tablet doesn't connect to my 5ghz ssid/wifi/network name. I really want the tablet to receive higher internet speeds, but alas I've tried resetting and it doesn't fix it. I'm highly confident its a firmware issue, because I've tried resetting (it works in the beginning, then functionality goes away after an hour and never works again) and updated to the latest version, but alas nothing has fixed it. I know the tablet works with some Chinese wifi channels, but I wish they can just update the firmware, so it can work with USA wifi channels. I'm pretty sure I bought the international version, so maybe a firmware update can fix its compatibility. If you read this Lenovo, then thank you for reading our concerns.

    How is your PC mode different from what was on the first page of this discussion? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/zui14pcmodeswitch-pre-release.4542445/

    Thank you for your dedication to write this article for us. Appreciate a lot on your work.

    Could I request to load Windows 10/11 ARM image to our beloved TB138FC? 😂😂🤣🤣
    Theoretically, this is possible if you follow the instructions of Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 from the Renegade Project, but I see no reason to look in this direction. The main thing is to make a backup copy of all partitions, or wait for the full firmware image

    Hi @ZhenMing, would you mind to share your feedback on the 14.0.820 ST? What are the notable improvement and flaws in this update.
    Much appreciated.
    Frankly, I didn't feel much different but possible stability and more recent security update. 🤣🤣🤣

    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

    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
