3. Unlock the bootloader.
-----a. You can still unlock the boatloader using Toolkit V1.3.0. Option “3. UnLock or Re-Lock your BootLoader”
-----b. You must enter Fastboot Mode to perform unlock: Vol Down + Power (Unplug USB first, and then when the fastboot mode appear, you can plug in the usb cable. If for some reason the toolkit does not list your device serial, choose reboot fastboot mode and/or check your USB driver).
4. Have enough battery for installation.

Not OP (but source ), but he probably took it from the TWRP thread. Or he also found it out by trial and error, like I did

Well, deletes zenfit app, nothing more..
As I understand that's done by update-script, but what update-binary does?
Also in lazyflasher...zip there are two patches - disabling verity and disabling forced encryption. Is it mandatory to apply both? I don't think I need to disable encryption enforcement.
Thank you!

Will leaving the bootloader unlocked prevent android wear 2.0 updates?

Why do we have to install twrp in order to flash/install these two zip files:
lazyflasher-no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip and ZenWatch-3_ZenFit_remover.zip
when we can simply install them using "adb sideload <filename.Zip" ?
Hopefully the adb sideload will flash/install the two files without twrp.
Also I wonder if installing TWRP recovery might prevent Android Wear 2.0 OTA update?
I am on Android Wear 1.5 and do not want to update or get any notifications to update.
Thanks, have a great day!

Hey guys I just want to know if Im ****ed up because my realme5 phone has been brick and I relock the device state and now I can't unlock the device again in fastboot mode . Pls help me
I need some urgent advice. I was following this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-2/how-to/guide-unlocking-rooting-restoring-to-t3515555 to backup stock recovery and boot. I did not want to flash twrp and su, so I skipped to wipe Dalvik/Cache, did that, and reboot from twrp.
Then the phone stuck in boot logo, I've waited at least 12min, nothing. So I tried to restart from stock recovery as stated in the guide, no good.
Basically I skipped step 16-20:
Download and install Minimal ADB and Fastboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2317790
Download latest official TWRP, place file in ADB installation folder, and rename to "twrp.img": https://twrp.me/devices/leecole2.html
Download SuperSU 2.78 (stable): https://download.chainfire.eu/1001/
Boot up phone and plug into computer
Settings > scroll to bottom to "About phone" > touch "Build" 7 times to enable developer options
Developer options > toggle "OEM unlocking" and "USB debugging" so that they're both enabled
When "Allow USB debugging?" window pops up on phone, check "Always allow..." box and hit OK
In Minimal ADB installation folder, hold Shift and right-click "Open command window here", then type:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Once in fastboot:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock-go
fastboot boot twrp.img
If password screen comes up, tap "Cancel" button
If it asks, tap "Keep Read Only" button (probably doesn't matter, but whatever)
Wipe > Format Data
Make backups (I suggest boot, recovery, and system since this will allow you to return everything to stock later on)
Mount > Enable MTP
Copy entire TWRP folder from internal storage to your computer
Copy SuperSU zip from your computer to root of internal storage
Reboot > Bootloader
Code:
fastboot oem unlock-go
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Hold Vol+ and Pwr until boots into TWRP
Swipe to Allow Modifications
Install > select SuperSU zip > swipe to flash
Wipe Cache/Dalvik
Reboot (first boot will take a little while, so be patient)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Please help!
Hi, unfortunatelly I have the exactely same problem.
I boot to TRWP > wipe Format Data > did backup and restart.
Then my LeEco Le 2 X527 stuck on the booting LeEco logo. I've tried to Pwr+Vol Up and selected all the checkboxes to do stock factory reset but it didn't help.
Also, it seems I cannot use ADB, fastboot and TWRP any more, because after the Wipe the device is unauthorized
Did I brick the phone? Please help dear professionals!
Update:
I found that I can still boot to the bootloader by holding Pwr+Vol down. After that I was able to normally use "fastboot oem unlock-go" and
"fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" to flash the TWRP. After I installed the LineageOS and GAPPS and phone boot up successfully!

I have done all the steps but For some reason twrp is not installed and i still have the stock recovery. Please help
That's because the above only boots TWRP to root but does not install it. To install TWRP, when in booted with TWRP, you need to transfer the TWRP img to the tablet storage and then install it while in TWRP.
it is important to show the pathway to the file TWRP-3.0.2_TB-X103F-beta.img in the command line, like:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\My Videos\TWRP-3.0.2_TB-X103F-beta.img
Sorry for this newbie question.
Which part of the above rooting steps is rooting my tablet, what is TWRP doing and why do I need to install the SuperSU app?
During my first try I didn't boot the TWRP image rather I flashed it. But that didn't help at all.
After booting the TWRP image I was able to flash the SuperSU app.
The stock recovery is still in use.
Thanks in advance.
Read the steps carefully and follow the steps, it is a tested successfull strategy. To get deep knowlege about the background processes, please read the threads elsewhere in Web.
Yow how do you enter Fastboot on the tablet and i haved tied avery button on the tablet and i dont see the fastboot option

Hi everyone. I just want to clarify something about this procedure There's a lot of people being confused on how to get into FASTBOOT on some things, and that's stopping them getting anywhere from the beginning.
The Lenovo TB-X103F tablet doesn't have a way of booting directly into FASTBOOT. Turning the tablet On while holding either volume key and the On button doesn't do it directly. . . . . Firstly, there's 3 buttons on the tablet, I call them VOL- VOL+ PWR (again, that's just to clarify things 100%)
here's what must be done (well it's this way on the 3 I have on my desk, so I assume all TB-X103F tablets are the same) . . . . .
1) Turn the tablet off completely.
2) Press & hold the VOL+ button (the middle of the 3 buttons).
3) Press & hold the PWR button, release the PWR button as soon as anything appears on screen - Keep holding VOL+ button.
4) After about 8 seconds the familiar green android lay down will appear. Then, your recovery menu will appear.
5) Release the VOL+ button anytime now.
6) Press either VOL button to select BOOTLOADER on the menu (Bootloader is the same as FASTBOOT on this menu, that's where the confusion lies for many users).
7) Got Bootloader selected? now press PWR and let the tablet reboot itself.
8) it will show the LENOVO logo, and appear to be stuck - it isn't It's in Fastboot mode.
9) Plug in your USB to PC cable, and it'll install appropriate drivers on the PC (hopefully eh?).
10) Once the drivers are installed, test it by getting a Command Prompt in your ADB/FASTBOOT folder on your PC . . . .
11) type the command FASTBOOT DEVICES It should show you that your device is connected, if it shows no devices then either it didn't install the drivers, or something
else is wrong (there's about 30 things that can have gone wrong here, too many to go through in this quick guide).
12) The tablet will stay in FASTBOOT/BOOTLOADER mode until you turn it off (or the battery goes flat lol). So stay calm, there's no rush
I've mentioned about there being no rush, because if you choose ADB connecting from the recovery menu, it disconnects automatically after about 5 minutes -
This is Important to know because it can disconnect while you're pushing/pulling files from the tablet, and cause really nasty problems. Bad design eh?
But we're in Fastboot mode, so nothing to worry about like that

Successful root
It was hard, but I had finally had done it. I had figured it out it is easier just to go to the command prompt (I ran it under admin) and "cd C:/adb" (where you installed the adb fastboot software) while having the TWRP image file being placed there. I only wished that I had done it sooner. And for those who are new to the custom recovery it can be overwealming, but with patience and going through the files in the file explorer to find your main storage would lead you to the SuperSU file and successfully root your device.
I flashed TWRP...now what? I can't find any instructions on how to reboot into TWRP. I got into some sort of Chinese menu (PWR + VOL-) but I'm pretty sure this is the device test menu.
So I did the "fastboot oem unlock-go" command and adb said ok but my tablet just went to a black screen and won't turn on now and I'm not sure why. I also heard the Windows USB disconnect sound when i did it.
Would this work with the TB-X104F running 8.1?
Since a few months my tablet is stuck with the 'password changed, wait....' message. I had hoped that I could overcome this with the steps mentioned here. But unfortunately not
I can't start it anymore, so I'm not sure if it is in developers mode or not. Also, plugging the device in my mac didn't let it download the drivers.
Too bad, because when it was working it was a great tablet, now it's just a expensive drawer filler

so what exactly do i have to type at the command prompt to run twrp?,ive put the twrp img file in the same folder as the adb stuff.
3.) start command shell (cmd) in the fastboot instalation folder on your PC and check for the device connection with the command:
"fastboot devices"
fastboot shows notting
lenovo seems to have killed these tablets from the old lady next doors experience.. no wifi, no adb, no fastboot, no qualcomm, just unknown device, which loads NOTHING, no drivers work!!!
