Hi all
I have this Lenovo TB-X306X and I want Ubuntu on it, but I am having a hard time to find any guides that is easy to follow.
Any here that have one or can write one up?

@magnusajber I got one up and running successfully last week.
The first task is to install stock Android 11 on the X306X. Do you have a plan for that yet?

@Linus67
Doesnt the Android 11 I have on it work? Do I need a different one?

magnusajber

cause of the fail above, it only boots in fastboot mode. Did I brick it?

@magnusajber Do you have an x306x running stock Android 11?
Then everything is perfect!

@magnusajber No, but there are things you can do.

Have a windows PC to hand with Lenovo Software Fix installed. This is the easiest way to return the tablet back to stock Android and the instructions in the fix tool are helpful and intuative.
The device has to be the 3Gb/32Gb or 4Gb/64Gb version. The 2Gb/32Gb version is stuck on Android 10 (Android 11 runs very poorly on it, UT runs a lot better). UT can be installed on it, but it involves doing other things to get Android 11 on it.
Fastboot is good, it means you can run the device through the UT installer again assuming you had Android 11 on the device.
On the installer tick all the boxes (wipe data etc).
Leave the device alone and let it do it's thing. Moving it while downloading UT and pushing it to the device may cause an issue due to a loose connection.
