<![CDATA[Need Help Installing Ubuntu on Lenovo Tab M8 (TB-8505F)]]>Hello everyone,

I'm seeking assistance with installing Ubuntu on my Lenovo Tab M8 (TB-8505F). Here are the details of my device:

  • Model: Lenovo Tab M8 (TB-8505F)
  • Current OS: Android 13 (Stock was Android 10)
  • RAM: 2GB
  • Storage: 32GB

I've done some research but haven't found a clear guide or process for installing Ubuntu on this specific tablet model. I'd appreciate any guidance or resources that could help me with this installation. Specifically, I'm looking for:

  1. Bootloader Unlocking: Steps to unlock the bootloader on the Lenovo Tab M8.
  2. Custom Recovery: Recommendations for a compatible custom recovery (like TWRP) and how to install it.
  3. Ubuntu Installation: A detailed guide on how to install Ubuntu on this tablet, including any necessary files and configurations.
  4. Driver/Compatibility Issues: Information on potential driver or hardware compatibility issues and how to resolve them.

Any help, whether it's a full guide or links to resources, would be greatly appreciated. If you've successfully installed Ubuntu on this or a similar device, I'd love to hear about your experience and any tips you have.

Thank you in advance for your support!

Are you planning to port it?

Also this section is for new developers, so I will move your post into the Lenovo section.

I cannot find a port for this device.

Unless you have the skills to create and install a port for this device which takes a lot of time and effort and requires maintaining, I am afraid you are out of luck.
