and adb find device beceasue wheh I call adb devices -l in another console, installer stopped and on the screen is error.
It seems to me, that the installer is using a dedicated adb. Means, when you run adb devices in your terminal, another adb server is started which kills the adb server of the installer.
The systems adb connects fine, while the installers adb might be not.
And thats the issue, that must be resolved somehow.Maybe there are ways, to tell the installer which adb version to use...
Maybe try another installer-package again (deb-package maybe). -
When I have used a VM for Ubuntu to install UT on a device that won't in Windows and my Ubuntu PC is unavailable, I have installed Android Studio onto the VM. I then navigate to the Platform-tools folder and use ADB and Fastboot from there for non UT stuff.
However - Android Studio puts in the latest version of Fastboot and ADB on the system and has given me basically no driver issues compared to lets say installing OnePlus ADB/Fastboot, Motorola ADB/Fastboot etc.
Also when I have opened the installer from the CLI, it generally fails for some reason, which usually relates to permissions from what I have read.
This is also the same on my Ubuntu machine, which I generally use for flashing the Samsung devices.

I'm stuck because I think I'm doing everything right but I can't identify the error at the moment. Somehow I managed to change the bootloader to ubport but now neither android nor ubuntu works for me ;/ I have different ways to use the computer, be it vm or pure linux. How do you advise to approach this?

@monteros_007 I always say keep things simple. For this tablet use a windows PC. Download the Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant Tool from here and "rescue" it back to stock Android - follow the instructions, you will have to "sign up", I think I use my Google account. It works on Windows 10 AND Windows 11.
Then start the UT install again and use a Windows PC (I have found this is the easiest way), following the UT installer instructions to the letter.
Take your time and when installing UT - be patient, be very patient - it may take up to 20 minutes on the installing stage, so leave the device to do it's thing.
Oh and as above, download and install Android Studio which will ensure you have the latest ADB and fastboot drivers - they work!

@monteros_007 I have been following this thread with facination. I admire the perseverence of all involved and the willingness to help others. I would like to help but firstly I don't have this device and secondly you are getting fantastic help already.
There is just one question that suddenly came to mind. Are you using a USB 3.0 port on your PC to connect to your device? If so switch to a USB 2.0 port or go via a USB 2.0 hub. USB 3.0 has been known to cause issues and I don't remember it being mentioned so far.

Many thanks MrT10001 and Ian. I used Windows, SDK Android driver and flashed correctly

hmmm I was prematurely happy. After succesfuly flashed, tablet reboot and show instaliing update, after next reboot show lenovo logo ;/ ehhh
-
@monteros_007 Try again with USB2.0.
-
@ian As I write earlier, USB3.0 its not a problem. In my laptop I don't have 2.0, only 3.0. I repeat procedure and flash without bootstrap and its. okey. Flashed succesfully and tablet turn on. Thanks.
At now I have problem to login sudo on phablet user. What is a password? I set PIN in started wizard but is in incorrect.
Best Regards

@monteros_007
"sudo" password is the same as device password you set to unlock device.
