I've got an opportunity to get a new t380 for free. Can anyone tell me if the OS can still be updated from nougat to pie? Also, considering this is a 2017 build, is it even worth the effort?
Thanks for your thoughts,
dow
Hello, Yes, the device has Android Pie One UI, it is also possable to get twrp and get masigk running, though you will most likey want to stick to Android Nougat beacuse in Android Pie, Masigk is not installing. But this can change. Also there is no custom roms for the 2017 Tab A, but this can change. The tablet will most likey not get android 10, but aleast you will get longer support on Android Pie than on Android Nougat.
Does any of exiting ROM for other Lenovo tab work for Lenovo Tab E8 TB-8304F1?

TB-8304F1 Tab 8 - Stuck on Android 7.0
Hi, apologies if this isn't the correct way to do this.
I too have a Lenovo Tab E8 which I just purchased and found I cannot upgrade it beyond 7.0
Details are:
Model : TB-8304F
Kernel: 3.18.35
Build: TB-8304F_S000030_190227_ROW
Does anyone know if there is a way to update this to a later version of Android. I have never rooted any of my android devices so this will be new to me.
Thanks, Shane
No, there are no available roms for this device so operating system cannot be updated beyond 7.
The only thing possible is to temporarily root (which resets after each reboot) and install some apps with root access. SetCpu did not work for me to increase speed

:good: Thank you appreciate the quick response.
Here is a guide to root the Lenovo Tab 8
(GUIDE) Lenovo Tab 8 (Lenovo TB-8304F1) Root Guide
I found a way to root this tablet booted root. However it will tell you it has a red state when you turn it on and stall your boot by 5 sec. NOTE: If you would like to obtain your own boot image from your tablet to feel safer Follow this Post...

Would that be like following the guide on how to install it on the Lenovo essential 7 tablet? I'm keen on getting a custom recovery installed
has anyone had luck unlocking the E8 as the website won't allow me to enter the serial number
Some of my apps are started to stop working since they need at least android 8 while my p10 lite has android 7. When I try to update it from the system menu it says there are no updates available. How can I manually install at least android 8 or any other more recent android on my phone? Where can I download those androids and how much safe are they? Am I going to be able to use the official android from the Android website or should I trust some modified android versions developed by enthusiasts?
I have an S8 active and it's not rooted but developer options are unlocked (because I knew how to do stuff at some point). I've hit a wall with my banking app of all things and I have to update to Android 9.0 or higher. Is this possible? Also, what's the best way to backup my phone to a Linux PC. Thanks ya'll
I am trying to upgrade my moto g4 plus to android 10.
Anyone have a guide and the latest android 10 rom that I can use?
Does camera work with android 10?
So far I got my boot loader unlocked but I do not have the TWRP recovery thingy installed. I installed them years ago on other phones but have since forgotten how to do that.
Any help is appreciate it.
If this can not be done. Any one know an android emulator that runs android 10? I tried LD player 9 but thats on android 9 only.
