Can't install TWRP
After following all the instructions, my phone still boots into standard Chinese recovery. Is it something to do with the locked bootloader or is there possibly another problem? There doesn't appear to be a purple bar when flashing the recovery. Maybe it's not the correct one for 20170926?

Be more specific, what do you want to port? You can find many guides on XDA to port ROMs.

Use my tutorial (link in the first post) to reflash the ROM. Be sure that your variant is the S8 and not S8 Plus

TWRP Compatibility On Different Build Number

Dear Ones,
I have a Techno Camon CX with an Unlocked Bootloader but No Root.
I have downloaded TWRP for Techno CX CX-H501D1-N-170405V107.zip but my device is CX-H501DEFG-N-190614V212.
I flashed the TWRP since it was and is all available for my device and it got bricked, but i had it recovered.
Now my question are, how hard is it to build a V212 compatible TWRP from V107?
What other options are there for me to get the TWRP for my device as per the build number?
Can someone here please buid one for me? Thanks

You need to find some guides for porting TWRP from one device to a similar device.
You probably won't find any guides that have all the answers you need as far as what needs to be "changed" or "ported" to work on your device because all devices are different. What you will find are guides that explain the "method", you will have to use trail and error and thorough research to figure the specifics of what you need to change, where you need to change it and why you need to change it.

I found some TWRP Magic installer. I'm yet to try it out though it only proves successful with older devicces, like Lollipop and below. I hope it works

So if I understand correctly the situation is, update will be available only if I manually flash them. Otherwise I'm stuck with current version. Correct?

Question Conversion of Xiaoxin Pad PRO 2022 1300Tver to Lenovo Tab P11 Pro Gen 2.

Attempt to convert Xiaoxin Pad PRO 2022 1300Tver to Lenovo Tab P11 Pro Gen 2 using LMSA and the process was successfully completed.
When booting up, the Lenovo logo is followed by the warning in the picture and the power supply drops out.
The bootloader and OEM locks have not been unlocked.
I am stuck with a Mediatek product with little information and no QFIL available.
In the meantime, I can enter fastboot mode, recovery mode and META mode.
I wish I could unlock the bootloader or change the region code, can anyone help?
Or can anyone release the stock roms of the zui14 Xiaoxin Pad PRO 2022 1300Tver?

you can try this method it's similar do not unlock your bootloader you might lose L1 certification

Unfortunately, QFIL should not be available on devices with MediaTek.
(Needless to say, QFIL stands for "Qualcomm" Flash Image Loader.)
Therefore, a new method, different from the existing Lenovo tab method, would be needed?
How to suck out the relevant part of the region code in MediaTek, rewrite it and burn it back.

Anyone has any success that they can write a guide?

Unfortunately this operation had to fail, you somehow flashed FW for Qualcomm SD870 SOC over MediaTek 1300T SOC - ouch ... (oh, I see what you did ... hmm … Well it said clearly in RSA that tablets sold in Chinese mainland are not supported) best luck for you, if you find solution how to fix it please share it here ... will be definitely useful for the others... thanks in advance ... I have 1300T (Chinese version - yep ... so I will not try this) version for cca 2 days, but without root or some FW leakage from Lenovo side, well have to wait.

Please tell me. Which tablet is better to take, pure Chinese or reflashed by a Chinese as if for a global FW (maybe it's just a modification, not a real global FW)?

If it is really the P11 Rom i would Go for it. It should have a User management, a working desktop mode and Google Play Services.
I don't know what happens to widevine level or other streaming relevant things, i don't use the tab for watching movies

I got my from giztop.com original Chinese with added Google Play store by the seller. Whatever they did break the FW somehow (but OTA update was working) and I had to do Factory reset... After factory reset I found out that Play store got deleted in the process... fortunately I was able to reinstall store manually...
Which one to take will be always at the end your choice, just consider fact that all MediaTek (ROW or China) versions have currently broken HDR playback, Qualcomm devices should be fine...

Have you used the following image (including flash tools) for your conversion?

Do not burn Lenovo Tab P11 Pro Gen 2 roms on Xiaoxin Pad PRO 2022 1300Tver. It will not boot. Currently, there is no public information on how to globalize it, and although AliExpress vendors seem to have successfully globalized it, I don't trust them until I get information from the buyer.
On a different note, has anyone with a Xiaoxin Pad PRO 2022 1300Tver been able to back up their ROMs using the mediatek tool?
If so, can anyone upload the backup file?
My unbootable Xiaoxin Pad PRO 2022 1300Tver is currently unable to do anything. I am stuck because Lenovo China has not released any update method or files at all.
