Lenovo Tab M10 HD Wifi X306F

[Rustic]

Hi there.
I flashed mine using the installer and everything is fine so far.
Thank you very much for this port. I really enjoy Ubuntu touch in this tablet.

@rapto Sorry for the trouble, but from what I read it looks like you have Android 11 installed on a Lenovo TB-X306F tablet with two 2 gigs. But from what everyone has told me, it doesn't seem possible. Can you clarify this for me?

[MrT10001]

@sutter_kaine I wouldn't try. You have a high chance of soft bricking the device which is recoverable through the Lenovo rescue tool. I am still messing about with it at the moment. I will keep you posted.

Good evening,

I am encountering a problem with the installation, even though I have exactly the compatible model:
Tab M10 HD Wifi X306F 64GB / 4GB RAM - Android 11

The installation was done on Windows 10 64bit. I successfully unlocked the bootloader by following these steps:
https://whatmydevice.com/unlock/lenovo-tab-m10-hd-gen-2

Then I tried running the ubports-installer_0.10.0_win_x64 and chose the correct option: lenovo smart tab m10 hd 2nd gen wifi

I tried this process several times because sometimes ubports would say success and then during the installation on the tablet, the error I also have in the screenshot would appear, and other times an error appeared on ubports and I proceeded by pressing ignore. However, whenever I reached the installation, it would stop in the middle and the problem "no space left on device" would appear.
Please help me, I have this tablet and with the Stock ROM it is very slow, I see that I meet all the requirements to install ubuntu touch but I am not succeeding.

@baspax1 The problem with Windows in some cases is fastbootd. However it has worked for me when I have installed UT manually on this device and with the installer, using Windows 11.

The step before the step it errors requires fastbootd to format the user-data partition to EXT 4 which looks as though it is not happening.

Try this. Download the Platform tools version 30.0.0-6374843 from here. Extract it and in the extracted folder open a terminal.

Boot the tablet to fastboot.

Attach it to the PC and in the terminal run the command exactly as ./fastboot reboot fastboot

Leave the tablet alone until it reboots into fastbootd. This takes some time and the screen will look similar to the recovery screen (unfortunately I neglected to take a pic of that screen). If this screen appears fastbootd is working on your Windows PC.

I would try, I don't know if you would want to, but while in fastbootd run the command in the terminal:

./fastboot format:ext4 userdata

Then I would reboot the tablet to the bootloader (or fastboot without the d) and run the installer again, you would probably have to select the tablet from the drop down box.

I won't take responsibility for the device soft-bricking if it goes wrong (I have tried this method on the 2Gb version of the tablet and recovered it), however it is recoverable using the Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant tool.

@MrT10001
I get quickly on fastboodD

PS C:\Users\Chris\Desktop\platform-tools_r30.0.0-windows\platform-tools>  ./fastboot reboot fastboot
Rebooting into fastboot                            OKAY [  0.005s]

But i run below command and get message:
PS C:\Users\Chris\Desktop\platform-tools_r30.0.0-windows\platform-tools> ./fastboot format:ext4 userdata
< waiting for any device >
and seems to waiting for device..

also tried to reboot to bootloader and i went to fastboot(without D)
tried to re run the installation and now the ubports stuck on Rebooting - Rebooting to fastbootD ,
on tablet is already on fastbootD

can i run the command: ./fastboot format:ext4 userdata on fastbood??

===========
UDPATE

I managed to complete the format:ext4:

Then I proceeded to follow the procedure exactly, entered the bootloader and launched ubports, which immediately recognized the tablet. I clicked continue on the ubports reminder to enter bootloader, and it automatically proceeded with the process. The tablet restarted, briefly entered the "recovery screen", and then reached fastbootD where it has been stuck for the past 5 minutes.
The current situation is that the tablet is in fastbootD and the ubports installer shows >Rebooting / Rebooting to fastbootD.

Every time it does this, I know that if I now press reboot to bootloader from the fastbootD menu it will proceed, but in ubports it will show an error.
Could it be due to the version of ubports, or the cable I'm using to connect to the type C port on the laptop?

@baspax1
also that is the current state while is stuck on rebooting

[MrT10001]

Reboot to the bootloader. Start the UT installer, attach the device and follow the on-screen instructions.

[baspax1]

@MrT10001 I get the same error ,
I don't know if it matters because there was a wipe and right now it can't access Android.

[MrT10001]

@baspax1 no it shouldn't matter. Have you tried a different USB cable and port?

Also look into the manual installation method laid out in GitLab. I will link when I get a chance!

[MrT10001]

Linky

[Rustic]

New system update, right now. Thanks

[sutter_kaine]

Will there ever be hope for a port to the 2gb one? Anyone is working on it that you know?thanks

[rubencarneiro]

@sutter_kaine 2GB devices are limited to Android 10 firmware, i built this using Android 11 Firmware, and i must say android 10 kernel is missing code like camera sensors etc.
So no, sorry
