📱 Lenovo Tab M8 - TB-8705F

Device Info:

  • Arch: ARM64
  • Dynamic Partitioning: A/B (Enabled)
  • VNDK: not on lite mode
  • Uses Mediatek MT6762 Helio P22T, exploitable with mtkclient
  • Has no full stock ROM dump, if you've dumped it and are willing to share, please PM me on discord @bagubaguu. The stock ROM is incomplete so you run risks of hardbricking it until then.
  • Has an improper super partitioning implementation, thus fastbootD is unavailable. Actions must be done on normal fastboot

📃 Steps to install

WARNING: DUE TO THE INCOMPLETE STOCK ROM, ONCE YOU'VE FOLLOWED THIS GUIDE, THERE'S A RISK YOUR DEVICE'S BOOTLOADER CANNOT BE RELOCKED AGAIN WITHOUT HARDBRICKING THE DEVICE.

  • Get a stock ROM from the internet or from dumping your device via mtkclient. (Android 14-15 ones don't really work from the tester's experience)
  • Download a GSI you'd like to install
  • Unlock your bootloader
  • Reboot to bootloader either via adb or button combo
  • If you got it from the internet, Check the build version. If the build version is different than your device, flash the entire rom via fastboot, sspm-verified.img goes to sspm1 and sspm2, etc.
  • fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
  • fastboot flash system <gsi file name here>.img
  • fastboot -w

If your GSI size is too large, resizing system may help to flash it.
