TB-X306X bootloop when install attempts from installer

As per above, the installer gets to reboot to fastbootd and the tablet goes into a bootloop (TB-X306X 4Gb/64Gb). I can only power the tablet off after this or boot to EDL mode to recover back to Android.

Is this an installer files issue?

Any other ideas before I attempt a manual install? At a guess it is a possible vbmeta and disable-verity issue as that is the prior step before reboot to fastbootd. The tablet is on the latest Android 11 and it happens on Windows 11 and Ubuntu machines.

@MrT10001 To myself - manual install works, but it won't allow the userdata partition to be formatted so used @zedr0k tip on booting into recovery after running all the commands and formatting data there.

My TB-X306X is now on UT.

Still suffering the staying awake issue.

I have the same problem with the same tablet. If I understand correctly, to unblock the situation, I have to switch my tablet into EDL mode as indicated here for example: https://droidwin.com/boot-android-edl-mode/ and install UT manually? (as here: https://gist.github.com/thekosmix/1a7fc2308e9c9ea78bb4ad24bc0cda1a) I would not make another mistake...
