porting lenovo smart tab m10 plus x606

I really think the rescue tool will help you recover your tablets. Try read the steps on how to use it again and again. Maybe you missed something.

I hate to say this but quite a few people fixed their non-responsive tablets by opening it up, disconnecting the battery for few seconds, connecting it back and then try to power it on.

I don't like the idea of butchering a new tablet but if we don't do anything we got ourselves a pretty expensive paper weight.

I just flashed the TB-X606F_S100015_191127_BMP Images with the SPFlashTool on my X606XA Tablet.

tablet was turned off
no cable connected
download started in flashtool
connected usb cable without pressing any button
flashing started
"Downlod Ok"
red light is on
I disconnected the cable and hit the power button.
It boots... but with some errors. Could be caused by not matching tablet version. Anyway.

Now I wanted to flash TB-X606F_USR_S100168_200828_BMP:

tablet was turned off (I turned it off by long power button press until the display turns off, if it not vibrates again, I can be sure that it is really turned off)
no cable connected
download started in flashtool
connected usb cable without pressing any button -> red light on but else nothing happened
unplugged cable
connected usb cable with pressing volume down button -> red light on but else nothing happened
unplugged cable
connected usb cable without pressing any button -> red light on
a short press on the power button
after ~2 seconds flash-tool did start to download images
"Downlod Ok"
red light is on
I disconnected the cable and hit the power button
Device boots this time without errors...

No Idea, if this is helpful.

@FP2andFP3-User has this ^ worked for you ? It hasn't for me.
The flash tool doesn't react when tablet is connected at all on my end.

FP2andFP3-User · 23 Jul 2021, 11:35

@marek_python i can do it in 2-3 hours. Sorry

FP2andFP3-User · 23 Jul 2021, 11:37

@luksus @marek_python

When did you buy the tablet? Maybe they changed things by the newer one?

marek_python · 23 Jul 2021, 11:45

@fp2andfp3-user
Date of manufacture of my tablet is stated as 16/04/2021

marek_python · 23 Jul 2021, 11:53

@fp2andfp3-user
Well it may not work on my tablet because my tablet isn't just turned off like @Luksus but it has ROM that won't boot and that's why it's turned off. @Luksus just turned it off while his tablet is in working condition.
That's just an opinion.

If his way of doing it works for you there's a good chance that I'm doing something wrong.

FP2andFP3-User · 23 Jul 2021, 12:06

@marek_python i don't think, that you will do something wrong.....I think, that lenovo has changed something this year....mine is also New and delivered With Android 10.

@Luksus you bought it With starting system Android 9?

marek_python · 23 Jul 2021, 12:48

@fp2andfp3-user
I've reached out to people who maintain the downloads and recommended them to add a warning to that particular ROM for others to avoid it. That way more people won't end up with dead tablets.

FP2andFP3-User · 23 Jul 2021, 13:19

@marek_python perfect

Same result game over?

Mine also came with Android 10 although the box says 9. I got it around April.

Luksus · 23 Jul 2021, 14:53

Manufacturing date of my device is 2020-10-23.
I bought it as "used".

I use Linux btw., perhaps that makes a difference for spflashtool...

marek_python · 23 Jul 2021, 14:58

@fp2andfp3-user
Did your tablet's LED turned orange or green after charging it all night ?

A guy from Lenovo's Support says we need to leave it on charger until LED turns orange or green. Then the tool will work.

I've had it charging for 2 hours now and it's still red.

FP2andFP3-User · 23 Jul 2021, 15:56

@marek_python it was over night at least 8 hours still red

Yes i have tried with Windows also the rescue tool!......

Hi
Sorry, if you have already tried the following, but try a forced restart:

Press and hold the power button for 12 seconds = warm start
or else
Press and hold the power button for 8 sec = power off

It says so in the manual, I don't have a device.

kugiigi · 23 Jul 2021, 16:22

I also use Linux flashing mine, Ubuntu to be exact. I used Windows for the rescue tool. Have you tried using a different combination of cable, USB port, PC, etc?

marek_python · 23 Jul 2021, 16:44

Do any of you have opening tools for phone repair ? I wanna try disconnecting battery and connecting it back but don't have the toolkit for it.

How about you guys ? I might have to get it from Amazon.

It's quite clear to me that mindlessly pressing the buttons won't
do it.
Let me know.
