Looking for testers: port for Lenovo Tab M8 HD (TB-8505F)
-
Still no joy, tried it through Linux (Ubuntu 24.04) and still went into a bootloop - as a warning, the bootloop took quite a bit to get out off using the Lenovo Software fix tool. It will do it, but requires patience and timing.

@MrT10001 Thanks for looking at this. What you are seeing reminds me of my journey getting the kernel boot on my device.
I have a pristine M8 HD and M8 FHD, I will try to install the images there and try to find out what is missing/changed on my development device. -
I just installed this on my tab and it worked 100% ok. Booted just fine. I have the 2/16GB version and used the latest zip.
I flashed all 3 files including the device tree image (dtbo.img). Maybe that will help those who get boot loops?
Thanks for working on this, now to testing!
LT.

@Lesharoturbo At which point did you flash the dtbo.img?
-
@MrT10001 after the ubuntu.img. I tried it after the boot.img, but I got an error, but realized afterwards that I mistyped it. So I did it after the ubuntu.img
-
No, still goes into a bootloop. Everything goes through correctly, no errors. Then bootloops.
-
@MrT10001 Hmmm, I am not sure. This is the first install of U Touch for me.
I am not home right now, but I will be tomorrow. I will try to gather more info then.
-
@k.nacke A question that I am sure the answer is 'NO".
Does this port offer OTA? I would think not, but thought I would ask.
-
Is there a step missing with disabling verity and flashing a vbmeta.img?
-
@MrT10001 that is possible. I started from a GSI rom, not the stock rom. So i had replaced those already. I forgot until I read this!
-
For some reason, the letters h and k do not show up on the openstore app.
Any ideas?
-
A reboot fixed it. Weird
