Lenovo¶
In testing
The tablet builds are in testing and are distributed through the Discord first. Owners who want to take part can ask there for the test image.
| Device | Chip | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lenovo Legion Y700 Gen 3 (TB321FU) | 8 Gen 3 | In testing | BOE and CSOT screens both supported |
| Lenovo Legion Y700 Gen 4 (TB322FC) | 8 Elite | In testing | Chinese model only |
| Lenovo Legion Y700 Gen 5 (TB323FU) | 8 Elite Gen 5 | In testing | Runs from a microSD card, switched on from Android |
Installation¶
Tablets do not use OpenABL, which is for handhelds only. Each generation installs differently:
- Gen 3 has no microSD slot. Flash the image to a USB drive, start it from a
PC with
fastboot bootusing the boot image in the drive'stabletfolder, then install to internal storage. This needs an unlocked bootloader. - Gen 4 installs the same way, and can also run from a microSD card.
- Gen 5 runs from a microSD card and is switched on from Android. It can't be installed to internal storage. It is in early testing with a small group of testers.
Warning
Installing to internal storage replaces Android's user data. Back up Android data first.
The tablets have no built-in controls. Use touch or a Bluetooth or USB controller.
The Gen 4 copies the firmware it needs from the tablet's own Android, so do not wipe Android before the first boot.
Identifying the Gen 3 screen¶
The Legion Y700 Gen 3 ships with either a BOE or a CSOT screen. The boot menu has
an entry for each, BOE first. A black screen means the other entry is needed:
restart and select it. In Android, getprop ro.vendor.display.paneltype over ADB
reports the panel, and a value of 1 means BOE.
USB drive not detected¶
When booting from a USB drive, the two ports share one USB controller. If the drive is not detected, use the other port.
