Add Lenovo X605 to the UBports installer

@luksus - thanks so much for your work on this. Does this also mean that the X605 can also get OTA updates?

Yes.
It has some quirks to reboot into system, after an update, but there are ways to workaround it... for example boot to recovery and just restart again.

@luksus
OK!
I've got a x605 "polar withe“ with less memory (2 GB and 16 GB) but "brand new" (via Ebay).
I already updated it to Android 9 (from 8).
In the coming days I will try...

Thanks!

@flaviomala Hi, I don't want to damp your enthusiasm, but it may be that we have issues with the 2GB/16GB version of this tablet.

Somehow it seems that the recovery is not working anymore, when flashed with a modified recovery.img. But this is essential for the installer and OTA updates to work.

I am currently investigating this issue.

What still works, is flashing the latest build artifacts with fastboot manually from here:

@luksus OK Thanks!
Errata Corrige: "polar white" (a little dyslexic...!)

A question:
give it a try with "installer"... or directly manually?

Please give it a try and let us know, if it works. Maybe the issue is only happening on some 2GB/16GB devices.
Thanks.

@Luksus sorry for necro-ing this post, but do you think this might work with the lenovo m11 tablet as well?

I'm not Luksus... but in general, it's a very bad idea to try to install on a different device than the one that is supported. It could easily leave you with an expensive serving tray.

@castpixel no, the M11 is a totally different tablet.

@Luksus thank you Luksus. I was hopeful because it's the next release from lenovo and has a gorgeous screen
