      Hi guys, I'm trying to flash this UB port https://gitlab.com/ubports/porting/community-ports/android9/lenovo-tab-m10-fhd-plus/lenovo-x606 on my Lenovo TB-X606F, but I cannot find an Android 9 ROM.
      I tried all ROMS i could find suggested here, on XDA and on google, they either don't boot, or are already updated to Android 10.
      One comment sugested this thread https://forums.ubports.com/topic/9959/guys-i-found-the-android-9-image but when I try to see it, it says my access is denied.

      Can anybody help me with an Android 9 rom for this tablet so I can flash Ub Touch on it?

      Thanks!

        @Dava Might not be worth doing this since the port is basically dead and stuck with xenial.

          @kugiigi Well, I want it so I can work directly from the tablet instead of using remote desktop(Python apps and excel reports). So I don't mind if it's based on an older version as long as I can use python and full excel on it.

            @Dava It's been a while since I flashed mine so I can't remember which version I used. I'm gonna check my files if I have it. If you have Windows, you can may try Lenovo's rescue app although that one is stupid now and requires an account πŸ˜…

              @Dava said in Android 9 ROM for Lenovo TB-X606F:

              So I don't mind if it's based on an older version as long as I can use python and full excel on it.

              You might be able to use all your python apps if everything you need is installable via pip. (I am not sure all the repo's are still alive to be able to create a Xenial based Libertine Container)

              You are aware that excel does not run on UT? You might be able to get LibreOffice Calc to run on your device, but that would depend also on Libertine still being a viable option.

              In short, succeeding in installing UT on your device would not automatically mean you would be able to do what you are wanting to do on it.

                @Dava I just did this a few days ago, I also had a hard time finding a ROM. I finally got one called "Lenovo_Tab_M10_FHD_Plus_TB-606F_MT6765_HW60_S100055_2001030016_V5.196_BMP_ROW.zip" that worked for me. I had to use spflash tool and cannot remember if I checked or unchecked the preloader, one worked for me while the other did not. I also had to use a tool called "mtk_bypass_rev3" to even be able to flash it with the spflashtool.

                I got the ROM from a site called "addrom.com" I cannot say anything about that site or it's safety but it worked for me. If I am allowed to post links here is the download page, just scroll down to find the one I was talking about:

                  @karlk. Hey, Thank you for checking, sadly my tablet won't boot after flashing that image, with or without the preloader checked.

                    @Dava You can recover it using the Lenovo Software tool.

                    Xiaomi Redmi Note 7.... And more...

                      @Dava Sorry to hear that. I just flashed that same rom again and everything works for me. Don't know if this helps you but here are the steps I took:

                      1. Tablet is not connected to the computer and is turned off
                      2. Launch mtk_bypass tool and click on "BYPASS". It should say something about waiting on the left.
                      3. Connect tablet with usb cable and hold Volume up and power button
                      4. bypass tool should do it's magic and say at the bottom that it was successful
                      5. Do not disconnect the tablet or turn it off, just close the bypass tool and open spflashtool
                      6. I selected the Download-Agent "MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin" and the for the scatter file the "*scatter.txt" from the downloaded rom
                      7. I also checked that everything (including the preloader) is checked
                      8. I selected the mode "Download only"
                      9. Click "Download" at the top

                      After that spflashtool flashed the image and when it was done, it showed me a big green check mark.

                      Maybe this helps 🀷

                        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?
