@k.nacke Using Windows 11 and latest version of platform tools. This chucked out an error with fastboot -w. Tried platform tools version r29.0.05 and everything went through fine, but still bootlooped.

Hi Tim, How much experience do you have? If this is your first time porting to a device, then I would suggest to begin using halium-13 first. I work on my first port (another Lenovo tablet), too, and it took me a long time to just get the kernel booting. The Andorid version begins to matter when the device boots so far that you can ssh into it. At that point you can worry about integrating halium 14. On the other hand, if you are experienced with porting then follow the advice to ask on the telegram channel how to base your port on halium 14 from the beginning. Kai

For anyone else wanting to run Linux on the Lenovo Tab M11. It seems the mentioned Lenovo support link contains wrong information. I can't download any image from their support site after registration on their platform, and the steps mentioned on the page seems to be for a desktop/laptop installation of Linux.

@kugiigi Brilliant thanks, I will take a look tonight

@W0nderW0lf Link to devices page. If it is not on there it is not supported. Some people create ports for devices, requiring a bit of searching, but a lot fizzle out due to various difficulties and are not supported.

@johndoe Ok

@hlbkv Mine has dev-only channel as well. I haven't faced any issues so far. Perhaps the latest release will work on your device?

the .xapk contains the obb files ...so the extaction should contain the apk and obb you will need to place in the android obb folder manually

@ykmsr , do you still have this A9 image safed and could share it to me, cause the download link works no more ?

@messayisto Done.

I stumbled on this thread, as I've inherited a TB-X606F, and I thought I could try Ubuntu Touch without buying more hardware. @MrT10001 Thanks for the instructions. I'm wondering if you can help with the trouble I'm having. I've tried following the normal process with SP Flash Tools, but when I plug the cable in after clicking "Download", I see a red progress bar, and then I get a dialog saying "STATUS_BROM_CMD_SEND_DA_FAIL". So I thought I'd try your approach. I'm finding that at step 3, the tablet briefly displays "META_MODE" down the bottom. Is that correct? Then at step 4, I don't see a success message, I just see the mtk_bypass tool window close. I then follow the steps to get to step 9, but then nothing happens. The SP flash tool just sits waiting. I have had some success using the Lenovo Software Fix tool, and replacing the firmware it downloads, with one I've downloaded. When I boot the tablet after flashing this way, the build info matches the zip filename of the firmware I got, but it still says Android 10, even with the image you suggested. I wonder if that is a side effect of using this tool instead of the SP flash tool. Does anyone have any further advice?

@MrT10001 Hey, when I try to go to the Thread i get a message saying my access has been denied. I cannot for the life of me find an Android 9 ROM for this Tablet, could you please help me?

@Gunkaa I don't see your "Lenovo M7" in device list https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ You shouldn't try installing Ubuntu Touch on a not listed device... If Lenovo has a tool to reinstall android you should do that. Edit : https://support.lenovo.com/fr/fr/downloads/ds101291-rescue-and-smart-assistant-lmsa

I have noticed that the scrolling is fast again, once I rotate the tablet. It stays like that until after some time it gets slow again. Only appears in the browser, no other apps. I did not yet figure out what could trigger the issue.

I saw in the steps for flashing Android firmware that dtbo is another partition. So I flashed it as well. I didn't notice much difference with or without it though, but if it was part of the build, it probably makes sense to flash it :man_shrugging_medium-light_skin_tone: Thanks @arubislander for the replies! Luckily, this issue is resolved in the latest images :raising_hands: Huge thanks to @rubencarneiro for taking care about the X306X as well

@socialbox As far as I know, that is not a supported device, which means it can't currently be installed. Are you planning to port it? Also this section is for new developers, so I will move your post into the Lenovo section.

@Keneda The poster might not be porting this device, but the question nevertheless is a porting question. Since they are in effect running UT on an unsupported device. The move is a gentle encouragemt to take on the challenge of porting, or at the very least collaborating with the porter, since Ruben does not have access to this device.

I will mark this as "solved" though the "problem" wasn't a problem and didn't need to be solved. Sorry for the fuss.
