@codenul It works on mine which is x606f though it has the common issue on some ports where wifi gets disconnected when in deep sleep. The port really depends on the porter and this port didn't really come that far so I guess the porter lost interest in it. He still answers to adhoc requests though like for example to trigger a new build to get an updated system. No device/port-related developments though.
-
Thats a shame - wish this device would get official support. From going through couple different cellphone models, and now couple tablets, the x606F has been the smoothest, best performance of UT that i have experienced.
Not sure where to put this, but here are the steps that I took to get Ubuntu Touch on the 606f
Required Files
- Download the latest artifacts for the project HERE
- Download Android 9 Roms files that were previously mentioned HERE
- Lenovo LMSA Software HERE
Steps
-
Using LMSA, i was able to downgrade to Android 9 by downloading the newest update for the 606f (Android 10) and replacing the files with the Android 9 Roms files within the directory and perform an "rescue" on the tablet. Once booted, Android 9 was installed.
-
Once Android 9 was installed, the usual procedure took place. Enable Developer Mode, unlock the bootloader reboot into Fastboot and flash the required files within the Artifacts folder.
OEM Unlock command : fastboot flashing unlock
I coudlnt get the SP Flash program to work correctly both in Windows and Linux and was surprised about the downgrade with LMSA.

@codenul
I recently needed a tablet, and seeing that the 606f has an UT port, and is still sold pristine at a good price, i bought one.Sad if the port is not mentained anymore and won't reach stable state, i lost my bet lol.
I'll keep it under android though.

Re: Location of Android 9 images for Lenovo M10 x606F?
I just searched a lot on google I went on the same site and there two x606f devices listed the drive link wasnt working for some reasong so I just downloaded the file from https://drive.usercontent.google.com/download?id=18_vFVhQia5Zkedjy9Vz05x_wlNrN-sxe&export=download&authuser=0 I downloaded it extracted it to the rom zip folder created by the rescue tool and rescued my device with it now I'm on android 9

@ykmsr What is this for? Is there a recent development with the UT port for this model?
-
@kugiigi there seems to be recent activity in a fork:
https://gitlab.com/yassinrezai71/lenovo-x606I just remember, that the different issues with this device led me to drop the idea of bringing it the installer someday and I sold it again.
-
@Luksus Oh nice. Looks like someone else picked it up. Mine is usually collecting dust and only use when I need to test on tablets. It's still in xenial though
Good luck to the new porter. Hopefully we can get focal. I think one of the main issues is that Lenovo sucks at releasing kernel sources that their supposed to do
-
I was trying to buy an M10 HD and accidentally bought this instead...
Gonna give this a try, hope it works.
Assuming I properly downgrade to Android 9, will the installer work or do I have to manually install?
-
@rogue_ronin The installer won't work for this device. There is a port for it, but it has not been kept up with. The installer only works for the TB-X605F or TB-X605L. 3GB RAM, 32GB storage.
The installer also has a port for the TB-X306F 4Gb RAM 64Gb storage, which is a better option as the TB-X605F or L can be a pain to boot from cold or reboot.
At the current moment with the Focal port the cameras don't work on the X605 either.

@MrT10001 Thanks for the reply!
Been busy, just got back to this as the new tablet arrived yesterday - I used the installer for the x306f and it seems to have gone very well.
Does do this weird thing where I power it off and when I place it down it comes back on. I am absolutely not touching the edge of the screen - my hand is completely on the underside. I had double-tap to turn on enabled, but even with that disabled it still does it. Is there another setting somewhere?
Also, is there a reliable guide somewhere to try UT on the HD Plus?
If not, would a tablet donation contribute to adding it to the installer? I can't use it as-is with standard Android.

Yes its a bug. Mine does it, I tried a bootloader that seemed to resolve it from the porter, but it may have regressed. Just keep the updates going on a regular basis.

@MrT10001 Very good, I will await updates. Thanks for your guidance!
First impression of UT on the x306f is excellent. Gotta try out some browsers - is Firefox or IceWeasel available somewhere? Or, dare I hope, Ungoogled Chromium?
Been searching for an open-source tablet to use with my D&D game (5e.tools, DungeonMastersVault, etc).
