@E-Z-Tux You don't need to power up the device. You log in to the software fix tool with a Lenovo account or a Google account. Select Tablets. Select use the serial number to recover. Enter the serial number of the device. Download the ROM. Ensure the tablet is powered off. Follow the onscreen instructions to recover the device, which involves holding volume up and volume down and plugging in the USB cable plugged into the PC when told to do so. Then leave the device alone till it reboots.

@danfro great . Too bad it can't directly share the content of a file with a contact in the 'messaging app', that would have saved me from having to select - copy - paste sometimes. Could the 'share with' mode also apply when using the 'read only' mode?

@projectmoon @amaurydbz found it. Spotify is not allowing using my keys to login into your account, which means that you'll need to login into Spotify Developers, generate a pair of keys and bring those to the app. That's why it works for me, but not for you. It uses my keys. As the app does not have a way to do that yet, I unpublished it. When I add a way to do it, I'll let you know and publish it back. Thanks for the feedback!

DeltaTouch is one of my favorites in the Open Store. It’s the perfect way to replace any messaging app. There are also excellent DeltaTouch apps for iPhone and Android. It’s hard to convince parents and kids to use DeltaTouch. That’s because WhatsApp has integrated “Channels” into its app since 2023. What are “Channels”? They’re kind of like OnlyFans for kids and teens.

@Kjetil considering UT is linux, something probably could be done but its another "nice to have" that will be on the backburner until the end of time.

Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.3 is released. Thank you everyone for testing. https://ubports.com/blog/ubports-news-1/ubuntu-touch-24-04-1-3-release-and-updates-on-ubuntu-touch-24-04-2-0-3996

Well, 143 hours passed ... and unfortunately still no luck . The MiUnlock app stops the process at 99%. First the "Device Verified" ticks green. OK. But at the end an error message shows: "This device is not activated. Activate it and try to unlock again". My MI Account is linked to the phone and previously had verified it: "Congratulations! You can be assured the phone you have purchased is the official international version.". My guess is that I do not have a SIM with a data plan, just calls. For linking the device to the account there was a statement: "Make sure your device can connect to the internet using mobile data." So I borrowed another SIM card, but typed my phone number to get the SMS. Yesterday I tried to do the same, but still ""This device is not activated ...". In my "Mi Unlock Status" the account and the device show, but there is another field for the SIM that states "Not verified". I change the phone recovery number to match that of the borrowed SIM card with the hope that it will change the state. Nope. I activate "Find my device" (I read it somewhere it was necessary) and let Xiaomi know where I am without wifi and the SIM data on. No luck. I also read somewhere that I also have to sync calls and messages with their cloud but it failed in all my attempts. I am not paranoid, but all this requisites and opening the File Manager app and read a message asking permission to share data or receive personalized ads its giving me the creeps. I need UBports right now . I know that there is not any official information and all the requisites I see online seem different or, even, contradictory. I think that I will have to borrow the SIM card a bit longer, do some stuff with it and wait until Xiaomi recognizes I use it in this device. How long do you think it could take?
