Flashing "M" ROM to "L" Lenovo YT3-850L Yoga Tablet 3

I have an UNROOTED Lenovo Yoga Tablet 3, model YT3-850L. This is the SIM-sloted LTE version, w/o the VOICE/PHONE capability. My research suggests that there is NO HARDWARE DIFFERENCE between the "M" and "L" models, and that functional differences are determined solely by the different ROMs for the two models. Evidently, LENOVO didn't want to bother to get regulatory approval (i.e., FCC in US, ?? in EU) to sell this device as a PHONE in most markets. It is, however, available is several markets (i.e., South Africa) as the YT3-850M, a giant PHONE, if you will. Swapping ROMs (as has been done for the earlier Yoga Tablet 2 models) is said--supposed by those who have DONE IT--to convert the DATA-only device into a DATA/VOICE device. Like my SAMSUNG SM-T325 LTE, which CAME with native DATA/VOICE support.
I'd like to flash my UNROOTED YT3-850L with the "M" firmware, and have located that ROM. Although I've rooted most of my prior devices (including my SM-T325) and swapped ROMs w/o problems, I have a few questions before tackling this project. Would anyone care to indulge me, please, by trying to provide some guidance? I've enabled Developer Mode and also checked OEM Unlock, FWIW. Thanks.
1) Can I simply place the new ROM on my microSD card, boot into DOWNLOAD mode and flash that way?
2) Or need I do something less direct, as I suspect?
3) Should swapping ROMs (changing REGIONS, since this is a carrier-free device) have ANY impact upon delivery of OTA Updates as long as my device remains UNROOTED?
4) I'd like, for now, to keep this device UNROOTED and not monkey with the recovery, just to keep things a factory-fresh as possible. So, I'd ALSO like to locate a flashable "L" ROM in case I want to go all the way back home.
Suggestions? Many thanks.
BTW: I just came across an odd site called "TeamAndroiders" dot com. It has downloadable ROMs for the YT3-850M and YT3-850F, but none for the YT3-850L. And the site seems to have no provisions for posting questions, contacting the administrators, or much of anything but a LOT of downloads. There's a link to "BLOG" but no entries ther, and no way to post, either. It's in English, but doesn't appear to have been put together by native English speakers, though it's pretty darn decent English. Is anyone at all familiar with this site and its reputation? There are a lot of links to KingRoot, but not just to that. Lots of ROMS and odd apps.

Hi,
I have done downgrade from 6.0.1 "L" ROM to 5.1.1 "M" ROM ending with bricked device, Android boots but lost NVRAM (EFS, IMEI, WIFI Mac, BT Mac, GPSID, Sound).
I spend a week searching for "L" ROM, I couldn't find enywhere on net, someone on other forum helped me, for 3 nights we have been trying to restore "L" ROM with success.
If You want to change from "L" to "M" make sure you BACKUP ALL DATA (including .QCN file where is stored NVRAM).
For questions PM me, I've got ROM, drivers and tools for stock "L".

Hello Wpinacz,
First of all thanks a lot for your response. I tried to download ROM from the link you provided but I was not able to download from there. When I clicked on " Download this file " I got this only

http://lenovo-forums.ru/files/file/1193-yoga-tablet-3-8-qualcomm-yt3-850m_s030_160316_row/
Make in mind that rom is not to be flashed via recovery menu (update.zip), it's mean to flash via QPST, i've flashed mine "L" version via QPST for some solution You can check out my tutorial for "L" here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/thinkpad-tablet/general/stock-lenovo-yoga-tab-3-yt3-850l-how-t3553994
Beware that "M" model could use different QPST/QFIL version and other .MBN file (could be in rom .zip file that You want to download), check out the guide for "M" model at lenovo-forums because when i've tried to flash my "L" model not every version of QPST/QFIL worked, also check my guide how to enter EDL (flashing mode) to upload rom to Your device.

Debloat vs. Remove MIUI?

Hey all,
I am almost done with my waiting time for unlocking the bootloader. I am not sure if I should be flashing Xiaomi.eu or not. My aim from this is that I want to remove everything from MIUI that track and harvest data. I do not care if I continue to have MIUI or move to any other ROM.
Anyway, I noticed that my Mi 10 Ultra keeps running the following apps:
- Analytics.
- GetApps.
- Mi Browser.
- AI Call Assistant (what is that? Why do I need a call assitant?)
- NetworkLocation (What is that? Is it collecting any data?)
I have already stopped all the permission and uninstalled all the updates of those apps from the settings. They still manage to download themselves on my stock ROM and continue to function!
Anyway, I did not find any ROM to install other than Xiaomi.eu to be honest. But, it still has Analytics. But, they gave it a different name. The only good thing is that they claim that they have removed all bloats and they decreased the data collection to its minimum.
Moving on, I have tried ([ADB DEBLOAT] MIUI 12.0.8 List). I did not filter ones I want to remove. I just removed everything mentioned. My phone showed a loading screen which says Just a Sec. I waited for a while and then restarted the phone because, it did not move anywhere from there. So, I have decided to restart and... My phone was locked. It was locked for a day and then I was able to unlock it after I did a hard reset.
I do not want to go through that again. So, I am waiting for my bootloader to unlock before doing anything to my device.
So, here are my questions:
1- Is there no Custom Rom that is compatible with Mi 10 Ultra other than Xiaomi.eu? What are my options here?
2- If I installed Xiaomi.eu. What are things that I should be removing? And do I have to sign in to Mi account again after unlocking the bootloader?
Thanks in advance,

I think currently there are no custom ROM for Mi 10 Ultra yet, only official china rom and EU rom atm.
I am running the 20.9.24 weekly EU rom currently, the rom removed almost all china exclusive app (mi wallet and etc). You probably do not need to remove anything. Yes, you need to login to MI account again.

Problem with strange error in redmi note 6 pro

Hi! I have a strange problem. I recovered a cell phone (redmi note 6 pro) from a deceased relative, his closest people gave it to me. the problem is that I want to install Xiaomi.eu, but I am seeing strange things. First of all, the bootloader is unlocked. Second, I suspect that it has some type of bypass or something like that (I don't know much about the subject, I just change rom) I cannot start or create an account in My community. My fear is that when flashing the xiaomi.eu rom, the phone would be blocked with my account or something, and I would have several problems because I could not access the email or account of the previous owner and there is also the possibility that it is not even the account of the previous owner who would request in the blockade. thanks for reading, sorry for my bad english.
update: I was able to create an account from my google account. I don't know if it is safe to proceed
Update 2: (I wait for the last one) I already linked my phone number, google and facebook account to my account. everything seems to work, the My community app lets me in normally. Is it safe to proceed?

You can install a custom recovery as your phone is already unlocked. Then try to flash a Xiaomi EU rom, download that form a good website. You can get help by searching in YouTube or google. But careful please, don't get your phone bricked.

Thanks. I'm sure things will get more organized as the section grows, but the mods have it under control. They're a good group.

May I ask, this phone can unlock bootloader for only one time?
In my country several importers sell Tencent ww flashed.
I think they relocked bootloader after ww flashed, so those phones are unable to unlock bootloader again?
(I read here no free/public edl unbrick available yet.)

One of the major risks of buying a converted model is the risk that the bootloader cannot be unlocked. Currently, there is no workaround for it.

Added the VO(Data) threads to the QA post, even though results vary. These threads have some of the most traffic for the device.

It will be interesting to see how much actually changes in the 5s.
Until the information is proven to be different, no separate sections will be added. Please remember to double check things are compatible before flashing anything meant for a different generation.

Thank you, Just stumbled upon this amazing thread!
Cheers and Thank you for the hardwork!

Question how to unlock my bricked Redmi Note 11 Pro 5g (China:Pissarro) Bootloader

hi, i updated my phone to MIUI 13.0.3 android 12 and i've noticed a bug that made all the apps that are using the camera like instagram and snapchat take blurry pictures like an effect getting applied to the pictures taken by those apps (everything normal in my stock camera app) so i decided to use MiFlash tool to flash the previous android version on my phone but i bricked my phone instead i flashed a global rom while my phone is the chinese market version and accidently checked the ClearData+lock Device check box in MiFlash. the tool flashed the rom successfully but when the phone restarted it showed me a message saying that this rom cannot be installed on this device in recovery mode i couldn't do anything after cuz the bootloader got locked too T i tried everything to unlock it (mtk Client - bootloader unlocker+ adb fastboot + Xiaomi Unlock app ...). please help me is there any way i can fix my phone and what is the righ Rom to flash on my phone (Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G China (21091116C - Pissarro). thnx

friend I'm not a star I tell you how things are 1) you can't go back with another Rom only china 2) anti-roll-back 3) MiCloud you have to disable it you can try MiflashV2 there is also to unlock the bootloader it does everything even the firmware remember if the firmware does not start. important not only china also not china for updates remember first you do the factory reset put google account do not update any app except google drive backup with drive if it has arrived update it is better by setting the time instead of downloading the package the problem is when the update occurs it fails to close all active apps and then there is MiCloud that blocks. Best wishes and good luck and that I have little time for me too much trouble here in Europe.

currently my phone is stuck at the logo and after seconds it loads Fastboot automatically i cant access the phone os to do anything i used the xiaomi bootloader unlocker app that works online but it didnt work . the local cell phone service shops told that they have to open the phones back case to fix it ... i dont want that i've just bought the phone didnt even use it for a whole month

they don't have to open it they use licensed or dongle software (USB type) currently I use unlocktoll.net but if the phone is under warranty and you haven't removed the bootloader before it is better for you. It is possible that others have the same problem as you. Good luck

Rule number 1 for Xiaomi never flash anything on Mediatek devices, it will fail. If messed up, no way back as Xiaomi locks the devices for autorized service providers or local Xiaomi branches only. If you want to play with Xiaomi custom roms/development/etc. related only buy Snapdragon based devices.
I i.e. learned it the hard way, when this all started with the Redmi Note 8 Pro, I bricked it by flashing twrp in Android 11 and Xiaomi didn't want to repair it, so I had to pay some russian guy to fix it via Teamviewer with a modified unlock tool which was able to answer the unlock requests by pasting the answer manually from a generator. It's not like I messed up at a point, it's just that Mediatek devices easily fall in a unrecoverable state. In my term it was the combination of Android version and twrp. You will note there is no Mediatek support on xda and even when your device is named like a Snapdragon version, your device is offtopic here, because trying anything on it beyond unlocking the bootloader is harakiri

how to unlock my bricked Redmi Note 11 Pro 5g (Chinaissarro) Bootloader​
Congratulation. Brick without unlocked BL :/
my opinion: you are done....
Some Xiaomi devices have pins on motherboard to
switch EDL, but i dont know with this device.
Try complaint and say something like: "my phone was upgraded and then i see only logo"

I did the same with my device. You can fix it using the MTK tools guide. Its lengthy but easy.
