Factory Firmware
Restoration Guide
​OVERVIEW
There are a number of methods that can be used to restore the factory firmware on the Lenovo Tab3 8. The method used in this guide is undoubtedly the simplest, quickest and most efficient. We will be using the Lenovo-Moto Rescue & Smart Assistant (RSA). The RSA is a Windows-based proprietary software suite and factory firmware restoration solution, developed and released by the Lenovo/Motorola Mobility conglomerate. This PC client software can be used to restore virtually any smartphone, tablet or smart device manufactured by Lenovo or Motorola over the past several years. The RSA installs and configures the latest USB device drivers on your PC or laptop, matches your device with the most current official firmware available, downloads the firmware package, and then uses a chipset-based flashing protocol to install the firmware. An invaluable feature of RSA is its ability to flash the Tab3 8 from a powered-off state (BROM mode) on tablets that are bricked and thus incapable of booting into the Android OS, fastboot mode, or recovery mode.
COMPATIBILITY & REQUIREMENTS
The RSA software will run on Windows 7, 8.1, 10 or 11 (64-bit). Lenovo lists a minimum CPU speed of 2 GHz and a minimum of 2 GB RAM to ensure RSA compatibility on your PC or laptop.
You will need a reliable internet connection to use RSA, an active Lenovo user account (free & quick to set up), and the factory supplied or a quality equivalent USB-A to micro USB syncing/charging cable.
This guide can be used for firmware restoration of either the WiFi-only model (TB3-850F) or the 4G-LTE supported model (TB3-850M) of the Lenovo Tab3 8. ​
RSA INSTALLATION & SETUP
Download the RSA software client from the link provided below onto your Windows PC or laptop. Double click the .exe installer and follow all prompts to install the RSA software. During the installation, the RSA software will also install the latest USB device drivers on your computer. Upon the initial launch of the RSA client, you will first be be prompted to agree with the terms of use and the privacy policy. Check the appropriate box and click Continue. Next, you will be prompted to sign in to your Lenovo account. Go ahead and create a new account if you do not already have one. It's completely free and only takes a moment to create. ​INSTRUCTIONS
Once signed in to your Lenovo account, the RSA software will open to the main screen. Click on the Rescue tab located in the upper-left of the interface​
Next, click the Tablet option. You will now be prompted to submit your tablet serial number so that the client can locate the correct firmware for your model. To skip this, click the option titled How to find SN?, then click the arrow on the far right titled More​
Next, click the option titled Manual Selection located in the lower-right of the window​
Now you will be prompted to Select the name & model of your device. In the upper box, use the pulldown menu and select Lenovo Tab3 8 from the list of devices​
In the lower box, use the pulldown menu and select either TB3-850F (if you have the WiFi-only model) or TB3-850M (if you have the 4G-LTE supported model)​
The RSA will now list the most current firmware build available from Lenovo's software support servers. This will be listed as the Target Firmware​
After ensuring that the target firmware listed matches your device model, click the orange Download tab​
The RSA software will now download the firmware package and sone additional software components needed to flash your device. Ensure that your tablet is in a powered off state​
Once the files are downloaded, click the Start Rescue tab. Follow the on-screen prompts for instructions on connecting/disconnecting the tablet to/from your computer​
The restoration process generally takes just over five minutes to compete. Once the RSA client provides a restoration complete notification, simply power up your tablet like normal​
That's it. Your Lenovo Tab3 8 should now be reverted to its unmodified stock state and running on the most current factory firmware build. ​

【Tutorial】Lenovo S880 - ♡All you ever need to know♡

Hi guys,
This is Nic (despite my "wongyikhoong" username) from Malaysia. I have recently bought 2 units of Lenovo S880 from Beijing, China and I am instantly in love with this device. I see a lot of people facing problems with this phone. So I am here trying to help out as much as I can.
Lenovo S880 is a cool 5 inch ICS running device with dual sim capabilities. Specs as below:
Lenovo LePhone S880 specs:
5.0″ LCD display @ 480×800 pixels
1.0GHz MediaTek MT6575 processor
512MB RAM
4Gb internal storage
up to 32Gb via microSD
3G/HSDPA, dual-SIM, dual-standby
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 2.1
GPS with aGPS support
2250mAh Li-Ion battery
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
However, due to the fact that it is a China phone, it came pre-installed with loads of rubbish Chinese applications which tremendously slow down the device and there is no Google apps installed onto the device. The phone came with a native Chinese ROM and there IS a ROW (Rest Of The World) ROM out there.
In order to make the phone usable to us international users, you would need to flash a ROW ROM onto the device. And here's how to.
Stuff you would need:
1. Micro USB cable
2. MediaTek USB VCOM drivers
3. SP Flash Tool (v3.1206.01 or higher)
4. A ROW ROM for your Lenovo S880
All the above can be obtained from my Dropbox folder
1. Download and install the MediaTek USB VCOM drivers to your PC.
2.
please make a complete tutorial. because i can't read chinesse kanji,
Hey found the tutorial AT Google, too. I use the s3 hispeed rom. Just perfect
Is it possible to get the lenovo fm transmitter app into my new Rom? Would bei awsome.

[Offer] Modified ADB Driver with your DEV_ID - Signed

Hello, my name as you can probably guess is Krutonium.
I do a lot of work over at leshcatlabs (Can't post a link yet, if a mod could edit that would be great!) and I was wondering if this community would be interested in my little project (Story about Why first, or look about 5 inches down).
So I recently got this little Android Tablet as a Gift, and I wanted to root it so I could play around with some less normal features like overclocking and such. So I go and get the ADB Drivers from Google, and quickly discover that I have to re-install the driver every time I reboot my tablet. This quickly got annoying, so I took a look at the actual inf (Over at leshcatlabs, we modify Video Card Drivers, so this was pretty much the norm for me, though it has a much cleaner layout than AMD's inf's) and decided to add my Tablets ID's into the driver. This of course worked, and it stayed installed.
I am willing to make a Massive INF File with your DEV_ID's, if you are interested.
I will sign it with a Driver Certificate, so that it will install on Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, and the upcoming 9, without having to disable Signing Enforcement, and enabling you not not have any issues like having to constantly re-install the driver.
Any Questions? Are you interested? Please reply to let me know!
Hi krutonium i use unifl since years thanks for your work! I'm glad to see you on xda too good luck with your new project! :highfive:
Hi there!
I'm Tito & I've recently joined the Android USB UnifL team - the initiative as told by @Krutonium. Lot of improvements are made already!
Website: http://leshcatlabs.net/2014/09/28/android_adb-usb_unifl_drivers/
Discussion forum: http://leshcatlabs.net/forums/viewforum.php?f=15
Download: http://leshcatlabs.net/downloads_usb_unifl/
In a nutshell:
We provide digitally signed drivers for ADB & Fastboot (if available) interfaces.
Some other interfaces, such as Sony's Flashmode, Samsung's Download mode, Xiaomi's MDB are also supported.
No need to turn off Driver Signature Enforcement in Windows x64 to install these drivers.
Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 (& in future 10) are fully supported.
New devices from OEMs & generic/clone devices can easily be added in the supported list.
Automatic update check in installer.
Rapid development cycle.
List of supported OEMs & devices :
Coolpad
Dell
Google
HTC
Huawei
Intel SoC based devices
LG
MediaTek SoC based devices
Motorola
NVIDIA
OnePlus
Rockchip SoC based devices
Samsung
Sony
Sony Ericsson
Trekstor
Xiaomi
YU
To do:
There are already number of similar efforts exist, like Koush's Universal ADB Driver & @1wayjonny's Universal Naked Driver, but they aren't updated & actively maintained.
We always try our best to swipe out the errors & add more devices in the supported list. But to do so, we need active support from the users.
If your device from mentioned list doesn't work or you have a new device that isn't present in the list, please do the following:
1. Make sure USB Debugging in on in the Android device. Connect it with the PC.
2. Press Win key + R to open the Run dialogue box, type "devmgmt.msc" (without the quotes) & press Enter - Device Manager will be opened.
3. Go to the device that is unrecognized - the name should have something to do with your device, for example:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
4. Double click on the device, go to Details tab and from the dropdown menu, select "Hardware Ids".
5. Take a screenshot or copy the texts. You need to post like this:
Please add my Tablet/Phone:
(OEM) PROSCAN
(Model) PLT7044K-B
(Dev_ID for ADB)
USB\VID_2207&PID_0010&REV_0222&MI_01
USB\VID_2207&PID_0010&MI_01
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
6. Similarly do for Fastboot interface if your device supports it.
7. Last but not the least, due to increasing number of cloned/generic devices, it is really helpful for us if you also link the official driver pack/sync tool/phone manager application of your OEM.

[GUIDE] Huawei Firmware Upgrades Manually from 8.1 to 9.1

This was done on the Huawei P20 Pro L29C636 variant.
My phone does have it's bootloader unlocked and has been previously rooted.
As stated on just about every other thread, I do not take responsibility for anything that happens to your phone. The method described below is what I experienced with my phone, with the various modifications I had made in the past, and using software other people have developed.
You assume all risk to your equipment.
OTA updates stopped on EMUI 8.0 so I had to find a solution to get the latest EMUI and security patches. Below is the list of software and instructions that I followed to complete these incremental updates. If you own a different regional variant (i.e. L29C432), you can still follow the same instructions, but pay attention to your build numbers when trying to upgrade past 8.1. When jumping from 8.1 to 9.0 and 9.0 to 9.1 you MUST upgrade to the firmware approved for your particular phone variant prior to the new EMUI update. There is a chance you will soft brick your phone, but as long as fastboot still works, you can recover.
Step 1:
Download these two files.
HiSuite_9.0.2.304.zip
hisuite.zip
Install the HiSuite application, do not upgrade the application, and close the program.
Copy the httpcomponent.dll file to C:\Program Files (x86)\HiSuite
Copy the HiSuiteConfig.xml to C:\Users\*username here*\AppData\Local\HiSuite\UserData\UpdateDogDev
Step 2:
Open your system host file at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
Add these lines to the bottom of the file:
188.225.84.142 query.hicloud.com
Save the file... be sure it saves over the current file and not a new file with a file extension.
Step 3:
Open your Network Connections window in Control Panel here:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Right click on your active Network Connection and go to Properties.
In the dialog box, click on Internet Protocol Version 4 and click the Properties button below the box.
In the dialog box, change your DNS Preferred to 188.225.84.142 and DNS Alternate to 1.2.3.4.
Click the box for Validate Settings Upon Exit just to make sure you do not have any network errors.
Step 4:
Download and open Firmware Finder on your phone here Firmware Finder
Open the program, check the top button is the model variant of your phone, and click the top button.
The list of firmware shown in this program will work for your phone. To be safe, select the firmware you want to upgrade to, and click Check Firmware Access then Check Availability to confirm it is approved for installation.
After you select the firmware you want to upgrade to, click on eRecovery for all versions and click through each prompt until you reach the prompt to Register Update. Click Register Update and this will register your IP address with this specific firmware. I do not know how long this stays registered for, but it will not expire for the time it takes to download and install the firmware.
Step 5:
Connect your phone to your PC with the proper cable, open HiSuite on your PC, and allow the application to install HiSuite on your phone.
Once HiSuite registers that your phone is connected click the Update button near the bottom of the screen.
A dialog box will pop up and recognize the new firmware you registered with Firmware Finder. Double check that the model and regional variant match your phone just in case you goofed up the selection.
This process does take some time since the firmware files can be upwards of 5GB. Be patient and do not interrupt the process. After it downloads, it will push the files to your phone (HiSuite calls is Installation), and then your phone will restart. After your phone restarts, you will get an EMUI update screen indicating that it is indeed updating your system. Once complete, the phone will restart, and you will have an shiny new upgraded phone.
I have read plenty of responses in other threads describing installation failures, stalled installations, or other negative outcomes. Here are a few tips:
RE: Soft Brick - Remember to factory reset/wipe data in eRecovery. This will not wipe your phone, but it will help you get back to some sort of recovery state whether it's eRecovery, TWRP, or back to the system.
RE: Failed Installations - Remember to check the firmware availability in Firmware Finder on your phone and not on the PC. This will avoid accidentally trying to install firmware meant for another variant.
RE: Stalled Installations - I prefer modifying the DNS settings on the computer that is connected to the phone using HiSuite. This avoids DNS settings that don't stick in router settings or a PC bypassing them altogether.
If you do soft brick, you can always HiSuite to recover and rollback the firmware on your phone. I also do have another technique in case HiSuite cannot recover your phone. Just to be clear that this other technique was only tested on the L29C636 variant, but it most likely will work on other global models.

Factory Firmware
Restoration & Upgrading Guide​
OVERVIEW:
This guide outlines detailed instructions on restoring and/or upgrading the Hyundai 7" HyTab Plus (7LB1) tablet to its stock factory state by way of flashing a factory firmware package to the device. This procedure can be used to fix a tablet which is bricked, stuck in a boot loop or is otherwise unable to boot into the Android OS. This guide can likewise be used by device owners who are experiencing issues attributed to firmware corruption, those who simply wish to revert to a fully stock and unmodified Android OS, or those who wish to upgrade from an older firmware build. This process will remove any system level mods, root binaries, custom kernels, recoveries, etc., as well as lock the bootloader if it is in an unlocked state.
FIRMWARE INFO:
• OS/Version: Android 10 (Go Edition)
• Build No. full_tb8765ap1_bsp_1g-user
• Build ID: QP1A.190711.020
• Build Date: September 19, 2020
• Security Patch Level: June 5, 2020
• Build Type: User
• Build Tag: release-keys
• Kernel version: Linux 4.14.141
• Radio: MOLY.LR12A.R2.MP.V135.8
• Custom Build: alps.mp.q0.mp1-V9.82
• API Level: 29
• Partition Scheme: Dynamic (non-A/B)
PREREQUISITES: ​
A PC or laptop running on Windows 7/8.1/10/11;​
The SP Fladh Tool firmware flashing software (link provuded below);​
A factory firmware package for the 7LB1 tablet (link provided below);​
The vCom MediaTek USB drivers installed on your Windows computer (link provided below);​
The factory supplied or a quality equivalent USB-C to USB-A data syncing cable.​
INSTALLING MEDIATEK vCOM DRIVERS
The most common obstacle many members encounter when using the SP Flash Tool is device recognition. The SP Flash Tool software flashes firmware directly to the NAND/eMMC whilst the mobile device is in BROM flash mode. In other words, the flash tool is interacting directly with the MediaTek chipset during the flashing process. The user merely needs to connect the powered off mobile device to the PC or laptop using an adequate USB data syncing cable. SP Flash Tool, in turn, will initiate BROM flash mode on the mobile device and commence with the firmware restoration process. In order for your device to be properly recognized in this regard, it is crucial that the MediaTek vCom USB drivers are properly installed and configured on your Windows computer. While I will not be outlining step-by-step instructions here on installing these drivers, I have provided a link in the downloads section below for a comprehensive guide on properly installing and configuring the vCom USB drivers on your Windows machine. Once you have completed this crucial task, you may proceed with this guide. Be sure and thank the OP of that guide, @skeleton1911, if you use his work.
DISCLAIMER
This guide involves flashing the eMMC internal storage device of your tablet with a factory firmware package, thus fully restoring your tablet to its stock factory condition. The procedure outlined below is inherently risky to the overall integrity and operabilitu of your tablet. Failure to follow the instructions properly can, for instance, render your device completely inoperable. By proceeding further, you are assuming sole responsibility for the integrity and operability of your tablet. I have fully tested this procedure on my own device. Follow the instructions carefully, employ patience, and things should go smoothly. I am not responsible if you brick or otherwise damage your tablet. Moreover, it should be emphasized that this guide is for model 7LB1 only. Its sister tablet, the WiFi-only 7WB1 model, incorporates major hardware and firmware differences. Accordingly, these two models are not intercompatible with regard to firmware builds. ​
INSTRUCTIONS
This section presumes that you have properly installed & configured the latest MediaTek vCom USB drivers on your Windiws PC or laptop. Again, I have linked a guide for installing these drivers in the downloads section below. Your bootloader does not need to be in an unlocked state. However, this procedure will relock your bootloader if it is presently in an unlocked state.
WARNING: This procedure will erase all saved user data from your device. Before proceeding, make a backup of any files, media or data that you wish to preserve.​
Download the 7LB1 factory firmware package from the link below and extract the contents of the archive to a folder on your computer desktop, or to a folder in another convenient directory;​
Download SP Flash Tool v5.1924 from the link below and extract the archive to your desktop, or to another easily accessible directory;​
Ensure that your tablet is powered off and is not connected to your PC or laptop;. Likewise, ensure that there are no other mobile devices or USB storage devices connected to your computer;​
Open the SP Flash Tool folder that you extracted in Step 2. Click on flash_tool.exe, then right click and choose to Run as Administrator;​
Ensure that the pull-down menu, located near the mid-left region of the interface, is set to Download only. Next, click on the Choose folder icon, located to the right of the Scatter-loading file heading.​
A file explorer will be launched. Navigate to the saved location of the firmware you extracted in the first step. In the firmware directory, select MT6739_Android_scatter.txt and then click Open;​
The SP Flash Tool will now load the factory firmware package. A violet-colored progress bar near the bottom of the interface will reflect the completion status.​
Once the firmware has been loaded, connect the USB-A end of the data syncing cable to your PC or laptop. Click the Download box located near the upper-left region of the interface;​
Now, connect the USB-C end of the data sync cable to your tablet. If the vCom drivers are properly installed and configured on your PC or laptop, SP Flash Tool will recognize your device and initiate firmware installation via BROM flash mode. A yellow progress bar located near the bottom of the interface will reflect the percentage of completion. Once completed, you will receive a notification that the procedure was successful.​
Disconnect your tablet and use the power key to boot the device. Your tablet shouid now be restored to its unmodified factory state and running on the latest stock firmware build.​

Factory Firmware
Restoration /
Unbricking Guide​
OVERVIEW
ThIs guide will outline detailed instructions for restoring the factory firmware on the Hot Pepper Chilaca (HPP-L60A) smartphone. This procedure can be used to unbrick your device, recover from a persistent boot loop, resolve issues involving corrupt firmware, or simply revert a modified device to its stock factory state.
PREREQUISITES​
A PC or laptop running Windows 7/8.1/10/11​
A reliable internet connection to download the provided files​
The factory supplied, or a quality equivalent, USB-A to USB-C data syncing/charging cable​
The MediaTek vCOM drivers will need to be installed on your PC or laptop (link to installation guide is provided in downloads section)​
DISCLAIMER
While any procedure involving the flashing of a mobile device's partitions is inherently risky, these risks are somewhat diminished by the fact that many of the members using this guide already have an inoperable or malfunctioning device. Nevertheless, by proceeding further, you are assuming sole responsibility for the operability and integrity of your smartphone, thus absolving me of any liability in the event things go bad. Follow the instructions carefully, employ some patience, and things should go smoothly. I would strongly encourage inexperienced members to read this guide in its entirety, prior to beginning the instructions.
BOOTLOADER STATE
It should be noted that this guide will suffice to restore your device regardless of whether your bootloader is in a locked or unlocked state.
If your bootloader is in an unlocked state at the time you commence with this guide, the flashing method outlined in the instructions will not relock your bootloader.
Lastly, OTA updates do not check the state of the bootloader prior to installation. Hence, even in an unlocked state, OTA updates will install normally.​
​FIRMWARE INFO
OS/Version: Android 12 (Go Edition)
Firmware Build: HPP-L60A-3.0.18
Build ID: 12/SP1A.210812.016
Kernel Version: Linux v4.19.191
Radio: MOLY.LR12A.R3.MP.V208.3.P5

Security Patch Level: September 5, 2022
API Level: 31
Partition Scheme: Dynamic (Non A/B)
Project Treble: Supported
​INSTRUCTIONS
Due to the secure boot feature of the Chilaca, the SP Flash Tool will not flash factory firmware unless the user provides a secure authentication (SecAuth) file in conjunction with the firmware package. Thanks to a brilliant group of developers, however, there is an exploit to disable the secure boot feature on your Chilaca, thus fully bypassing the DA/SLA security check performed by SP Flash Tool. This will enable the factory firmware to be flashed without an authorization file loaded into SP Flash Tool.
Before we begin, if you have not yet installed the MediaTek vCOM drivers on your Windows computer, visit the link provided in the downloads section below and complete that task.​
Download the SecAuth bypass utility from the below link and extract the archived file to an empty folder on your computer's desktop​
Right click mtksecbypass.exe and run it as an administrator​
Click the Disable Secure Boot tab in the tool's interface. Next, connect the USB-A end of your data syncing cable to your PC or laptop​
Ensuring that your Chilaca is in a powered off state, press and hold the Volume +, Volume -, and Power keys simultaneously while then connecting the USB-C end of the cable to your smartphone. Do not release the three hardware keys until you are notified that secure boot has been successfully disabled. Disconnect the USB-C end of the cable from your phone and ensure it remains powered off. Leave the cable connected to your computer​
Next, download SP Flash Tool from the below link and extract the contents of the archived file to an empty folder on your desktop.​
Download the HPP-L60A firmware package from the below link and extract the contents of the file to an empty folder on your desktop​
In the SP Flash Tool folder, right click flash_tool.exe and run it as an administrator.​
Click the tab corresponding with the Scatter Loading File box in the SP Flash Tool interface. Windows File Explorer will be launched. Now navigate to the folder wherein you extracted the firmware file. Select MT6761_Android_scatter.txt then click Open​
A violet progress bar at the bottom of SP Flash Tool will indicate the loading of the firmware package. Once loaded, click the Download tab. Next, without pressing any hardware buttons, connect the USB-C end of the cable to your Chilaca.​
If the MediaTek vCOM drivers are properly configured on your computer, your smartphone will be recognized by SP Flash Tool and the firmware restoration process will begin. A progress bar at the bottom of the flash tool interface will reflect the status of the installation​
Once flashing is complete, SP Flash Tool will indicate that the installation was successful. Now simply power on your smartphone and allow the device to boot.​
Your Chilaca should now be restored to its stock factory state and running on firmware build HPP-L60A-3.0.18. Because this build is not the most recent, upon reboot and completion of initial setup, you will be prompted to install one or more OTA updates.​DOWNLOADS

Luckily you can't really hard brick a MediaTek device. The BROM protocol will almost always provide a backdoor for restoring the firmware. And I'm not saying that to downplay your bricked device by any means. It certainly sucks to be bricked -- regardless of the hierarchial state. Although, I'm not familiar with the SP Flash Tool (0xC0050005) error you referenced. But I will research your issue and see if I can help you get restored.
