[GUIDE] Yoga Tab 3 10.1 YT3-X50F - TWRP and ROOT - Thinkpad Tablet General

Hello there!
Because there is not much about this procedure for this version I leave a tutorial that has worked very well for me.
Warning:
Backup all your data first, because when unlocking the bootloader of the device, it will reset to factory defaults and delete/erase all!
This guide is for people who understand the risks of flashing and is totally under your responsibility!
Before doing anything at all, read this post carefuly!
Requirements:
- Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 10.1 YT3-X50F (I don't know if this method runs on other versions)
- SO: Android 6.0.1
- ADB Fastboot
- TWRP Recovery v3.0.2.7 for YT3-X50F
- Magisk v14.0 or SuperSU

Steps:
1.- Enable "Developer Options" on your tablet :
Go to Settings / About this device / Tap 7 times on "Build Number"

5.- Extract twrp.img in TWRP folder in your PC and enter it
6.- Open a command prompt (CMD window) inside that folder (Shift + Right click)
7.- Check if all works: type "adb devices" (without quots). If OK the answer shows a serial number.
8.- Then type: "adb reboot bootloader"
9.- Check again with: "fastboot devices"
10.- Finally: "fastboot oem unlock-go" (it will reset the device and erase everything, including your internal storage)
9.- Copy Magisk or SuperSU in microSD or internal storage
10.- Check again: "adb devices"
11.- Fastboot mode: "adb reboot bootloader"
12.- Check again: "fastboot devices"
13.- Flash custom recovery: "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"
14.- Press and hold "Volume Up" button on tablet
15.- Reboot into Recovery mode, type: "fastboot reboot"
16.- Press "Enter" (The device reboot into TWRP Recovery)
17.- Release the "Volume Up" button when TWRP appears

Thanks!
BTW, Have you find any roms for this model?

Great work! Thanks.
Only part I got stuck on was step 9. If you're on a mac and it won't mount as a drive, do this:
adb push Magisk-v14.0.zip /sdcard/ (OR: just download it from Chrome on the Tablet.)
Also for step 17: I think Volume Up is to the RIGHT if you're looking from top on. (but still not sure, honestly!)

Hi. In the step 5.- Extract twrp.img in TWRP folder in your PC and enter it, when I open the file I recived this message: The disc image file is corrupted

Thank You
Excellent tutorial!! Worked perfectly on my Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 10.1 YT3-X50F !!!

Are there any ROMs available for this device?

Very good tutorial, everything works nickel and the tablet is rooted. Now the question arises: where to find kernel and / or custom rom for this tablet?

Worked for me, even with the Nov 2017 updates
Thank you so much.

It's actually much easier than doing all that.
1) Download Chainfires latest root and copy to SD card
2) Download TWRP
3) With tablet on, all drivers installed and Android SDK, and tablet plugged into PC... "ADB reboot bootloader"
4) rename the recovery you downloaded from TWRP to "recovery.img" and make sure you've copied it to your ADB folder
5) Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" minus the quotes
6) use volume and power keys to select "recovery"
7) Once in TWRP flash SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.43.zip
8) when you reboot Superuser will be updated automatically by the Play Store
Nice tut btw!

That's the same thing just with renaming mate. I also prefer not to flash recovery fully until factory images are out, hence why I ask to backup first.

Hell yes. Got my tablet today...unlocked, rooted, and have TWRP installed by dinner time.
Nburnes, thank you for your contribution. Any, and all help is appreciated. However, ATG's instructions are a little clearer, and easier. I have had my new Nexus for less then 12 hours, and it is already unlocked, and rooted. Yee-Haw! :good: Now bring on those ROMs!
Thanks, guys.
Thank you so much!
Rooted now and was able to get OTG to recognize 2 flashdrives simultaneously.
Thanks for the instructions ATGAdmin. Successfully unlocked, installed TWRP, and rooted in a matter of minutes!

adb devices
does not show anything, are there specific drivers for the nexus 7 2013, if so where would I locate them, cannot seem to find anything yet via simple searches('nexus 7 2013 driver", "nexus 7 driver", "adb nexus 7 2013", etc...)
anyone got a simple solution to connect adb to the nexus 7 2013?

[Q] 2012 Nexus 7 stuck in bootloop but recovery not working?

OK, after several weeks of google-ing and trying different solutions I still have not been able to find a fix for this so I'm hoping that a bit more details & illustrated post will help.
Description: I flashed the device with Cyanogen Mod, all worked fine but when I then tried to install G-apps it went through the installation process, rebooted and then stuck on the spinning Cyanogenmod logo.
I've tried rebooting it into recovery mode to find a solution. Going through the factory reset option runs through the whole process and then reboots into the looped boot logo again.

When I reboot the device in recovery mode I get this screen and options:
This is the text at the bottom of the recovery screen:
The screen after I hold down power & volume up (and release volume up after 3 seconds):
This is the options I get when choosing ADB mode:
Factory restore option menu:
One of the issues I think is that the device is no longer detected by my PC which seems to remove the option of pushing a new ROM to is.
Any ideas would be very much appreciate.

Edit: The screens you're calling recovery are actually the bootloader, use the volume keys to select recovery mode, and power key to confirm. If you have a working recovery it should boot into it, just go from there to clean flash your rom again (or an alternate one if desired). If gapps gave you issues, you might try redownloading gapps (may as well check the ROM file too). If you don't have a working recovery, then follow the other instructions below.
Your device should be recoverable, you're booting into fastboot mode on the bootloader screen and are unlocked, so you should be able to use this to restore a factory image of your choice.
Use the steps in this thread (it's stickied at the top of this section) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796
First type the command "fastboot devices" with the device connected to your PC and in bootloader/fastboot mode, if it returns your device's serial number, you should be good to go and won't need to follow the steps to install drivers. If it doesn't return the devices serial number, you have driver issues with adb/fastboot and will need to resolve this first (there are tips and links for installing or updating drivers in the guide).
Also, you can skip the "fastboot erase boot" and "fastboot flash bootloader" commands, as your bootloader is fine. There are also corrupt versions included in several of the google factory images, so i would recommend to just not do this if it's not needed.
Hope that helps and good luck!
Thanks for those instructions, yes have gone into recovery from the bootloader but that leads back to the bootscreen.
Will try your instructions in the morning!

With the device in Fastboot mode (like your second screenshot, you'll see "Fastboot Mode" in the lower left at the top of the block of text) and connected to your PC, open a command prompt on the PC, and just type the command "fastboot devices" then hit enter.

Okay, then you need to install the Android SDK and Java development kit, there are links and instructions on how to do this in the guide i linked to above in the "Software Requirements" section.

I did that prior to trying this.
Will uninstall everything and start from scratch.
I think you just had to be in the folder where fastboot.exe is installed. I went to the C:\Users\myname\Downloads\Android SDK\sdk\platform-tools (where I installed the sdk files). From that folder I did a shift, rt-click and 'open a command window here'. Then I typed in the fastboot command and it executed properly.

I've tried all the options outlined above but am not getting anywhere for the simple reason that the device is not being detected by any computer that I connect it to.
I have deleted all drivers so it would install fresh but that hasn't made any difference either.
I looked at installing a fresh ROM via OTG but even that is not an option on the device it seems.
What I am at is the following:
- I can boot into Fastboot
- booting into recovery puts up the "dead android" screen.
- Holding down "power" and "volume up" and then releasing "volume up brings up a screen with the following options: "reboot system
now", "apply update from adb", "wipe data/factory reset" & "wipe cache partition".
- "apply update from adb" brings me to the adb screen but as the device isn't being detected I cannot do anything there. The "wipe data" & "wipe cache" options complete but then bring me back in the same screen.
There does not seem to be an option to load a ROM via the OTG cable.
Basically at this stage I cannot find *any* option to flash a fresh ROM.
Banging my head of the wall here so would really appreciate some help from people more knowledgable than me.

Hi, step 3, first code should be fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img and not fastboot flashbootloader bootloader.img
(i.e there is a gap between flash and bootloader)
To root mine all I did was chainfires boot-to-root. Then you can install and substratum theme with O support. I'm using the Swift black theme. You have to install only 5 at a time or it won't work. It says in the description for the app. My Android O is blacked out now and I'm happy.
Why is it claiming it must be a Google purchased phone? Many Verizon users have an unlocked bootloader.

I flashed SU from TWRP, booted into system, from there adb'd back to BL and booted TWRP again and flashed aroma installer.
Is the aroma installer necessary for just being stock rooted with adaway? Or would I just fastboot boot twrp then flash latest SuperSU and reboot?

Back to Stock all in one - enable dm-verity, lock bootloader, flash latest OOS

I wanted to create a guide which is as simple as rooting a OnePlus 3T. I don’t know if it will work with the OnePlus 3. I’m not responsible for anything. You’re doing it on your own risk, so only do it if you know what you will do, now! It may brick your device.
This is the way it worked for me. I do not guarantee it will work for you!
READ THE WHOLE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING​
What we do:
- Flash TWRP
- Flash an old version of OOS
- Enable dm verity
- Relock the bootloader
- Flash the latest stock rom
What you need:
- Computer (Windows 7 or 10)
- USB Cable
- about 1 hour of your lifetime
YOU WILL LOOSE ALL YOUR DATA - ALSO THE INTERNAL STORAGE WILL BE DELETED (pics, music and all the stuff stored there)​
Download to your computer:
Latest TWRP for OnePlus 3T
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on.../recovery-official-twrp-oneplus-3-3t-t3543391
and
latest OOS from OnePlus for your 3T
http://downloads.oneplus.net/
THE USB DRIVERS MUST BE INSTALLED ON YOUR COMPUTER​
Download to the phone:
4.0.2 OOS Stock rom (post #2)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/development/recovery-twrp-oneplus-3t-t3507308
Flash TWRP:
1. Start your phone in fastboot mode (don’t connect to your PC yet!)
2. Open CMD as Admin (Windows start-menu - type “cmd”, right-click, run as administrator)
3. connect your phone
4. rename the file to “recovery” (don’t type “recovery.img” manually, only “recovery”)
5. type command “fastboot devices” -> device will be listed
6. command “fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\...\recovery.img” (the path where it’s stored)
7. done -> boot to recovery
8. disconnect your phone - leave CMD open
Flash OOS 4.0.2
1. Go into TWRP
2. wipe “System, Data, Cache, Dalvik”
3. Install OOS 4.0.2
4. reboot into fastboot
Enable dm-verity:
1. connect your 3T when it’s back in fastboot
2. type in CMD “enable dm-verity”
3. done - keep CMD open and the phone connected
Relock the bootloader:
1. type in CMD “fastboot OEM lock”
2. Warning message on your phone will pop up -> choose “yes” on your phone by using the volume buttons to lock the bootloader (keep CMD open)
Update to the newest OOS via “sideload”:
1. VOL down to boot into recovery
2. choose “Install from ADB”
3. “Upgrade Android from USB?” -> “Ok”
4. rename the OOS zip file to "update"
5. type in CMD “adb sideload C:\Users\...update.zip”
6. done
7. reboot the device - it will take about 10 minutes, DO NOT INTERRUPT THE PROCESS
Finish
Take your time! Don't do it if you're in a rush.
Please give me feedback if it worked for you or if I have to change something.

Did you check if the device is listed in fastboot?
You can also try the command "disable" and then "enable"
Sometimes you may need to do it first, even if it's disabled
Thanks for your threat. I tried this but had to do a couple things differently.
I think enabling/disabling dm-verity works only with old firmware.
What I used:
* 4.0.2 firmware from this threat https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/firmware-modem-collection-flashable-zips-t3565535
* latest oneplus recovery and rom https://downloads.oneplus.com/
* the recovery can be downloaded from a link on the bottom of the rom download site.
I started with twrp and a custom rom.
You need usb debuging enabled and adb and fastboot installed
What I did:
* I did a Nandroid backup, and copied the sdcards content to my computer, because the following completely wiped my phone
"adb pull /sdcard /path/to/my/drive/"
* flash 4.0.2 firmware, with trp
enter adb sideload mode in twrp and
"adb sideload firmware.zip"
* fastboot flash oneplus recovery
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
* using onplus recovery and sideloading installed latest oneplus rom
enter adb sideload and
"adb sideload oneplusrom.zip"
* did a factory reset in oneplus recovery and cheked if my phone would boot
* entered fastboot mode
"fastboot oem disable_dm_verity", then "fastboot oem enable_dm_verity"
"fastboot oem lock"
after that my phone got wiped again, and the next boot took a long time
Then the phone was completely stock
Wanted to post to say thanks to roor7 and WhataHulk - had a rooted 3T I wanted to sell following an upgrade (best price requires the phone to have no sign of root!), and this was the only method that worked for me to enable dm-verity.
As a quick note, I followed roor7's guide, but got the same error message as chowchillacharlie. After sme playing about I found the simplest soultion was using the CMD line provided towards the end of WhataHulk's guide, i.e. - "fastboot oem disable_dm_verity", then "fastboot oem enable_dm_verity". For me, roor7's guide swapping the type "enable dm-verity" in CMD with "fastboot oem enable_dm_verity" worked a treat.
Sorry if that is all incredibly obvious to most people!
Thanks again gents.

Hi, I wanted to remind you that you should check before flashing anything the critical device true.
Ok guys ... it works, I installed it.
I will explain how I did it.
The first thing is to download the files.
Use fastboot tools of the link.
A fastboot tools add unlocked Zip and MAF32.exe from minimal adb.
I did it from EUI6.INSTALE EUI6 BEFORE STARTING.
Put in TF in fastboot mode and connect to the pc.
Open the platform-tools folder that contains all the files plus the TWRP THAT WE SHOULD PLACE INSIDE, ANOTHER.COPY IN THE DESKTOP.
We run the unlocker.bat When it finishes it reboots the TF automatically.
We let it restart before going back to fastboot.
It may happen that it does not return to fastboot. In this case we force recovery and we mark update and cleanup, execute and restart normally.
We put back fastboot.
We verify the state_fastboot oem device-info.
It has to give true in critical.
If it is not true, we execute the .bat again but this time we do not allow it to restart keeping pressing v-
We are in fastboot and check the status again with the command. I did it with two CMD windows open at the same time, one to verify and the other to execute.
The normal thing is that of true in that attempt.
If you do not give it repeat the .bat keeping v
Always check before installing twrp.
We already have true.
In the same window we execute;
fastboot flash recovery (name) .img
It will give ok.
Restart the TF in recovery mode.
30 seconds v + / power at the same time.
Once inside the TWRP.We make wipes of everything except internal storage (those who do not have usb-otg must have copied the ROM to internal storage).
We install the moden, the ROM, the moden again, and restart.
It appears encrypted and asks for a password. We start recovery again and do factory reset.
We normally restart already to configure root etc.
And colorin colorado this post is over.
Again remember that the donations account is still active. This guy deserves heaven so do yourselves.
---------- Post added at 06:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 PM ----------
I installed the 21s and it seems that we have a bug. If we turn off the TF it does not turn on normally. It works when connecting the charger or from recovery. Restart does it normally.
Thanks for great work!

IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH - Unlock Boot loader CRITICAL is FALSE mayby you use a bad compilation of ADB and fastboot.
Not every compilation understands the command -> fastboot flashing unlock_critical
Make sure your compilation has the following constituent files:
adb.exe
fastboot.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
libwinpthread-1.dll
Important in this compilation is a file libwinpthread-1.dll
Hope I helped you.
Have a nice day
