Hi, I have a problem with the instructions posted here. First of all, I have installed TWRP on my tablet. Unfortunately I have messed up with another (wrong) ROM before, so the tablet is softbricked, I can access the TWRP menu but not the OS, this is why I came here to reinstall the official Lenovo firmware (I didn’t do a backup before, I’m an idiot, I know…)
My problem now is: how do I install the stock ROM from the link you provide above? At the moment I only have TWRP installed, so I cannot copy the ROM into the sdcard folder, nor I can use ADB push.
If I understand correctly I should use ADB sideload. However, trying to ADB-sideload the ROM you linked above results in an error (on the tablet) like “this ROM is for Tab2 A10-X30F but this device is Tab2 A10-X30L” – which is very odd: I’m pretty sure I have the “F” version (WiFi only, no LTE).
Is there a way to “force” TWRP to accept this ROM? Alternatively, a way to ADB-push, or in any case a way to upload a .zip in the sdcard using only TWRP?
Alternatively, could you provide a ROM for the A10-X30L version and see if it works?
Maybe the “download/factory mode”? But it’s all in weird Chinese characters!
Btw, I am using linux.
I would be very thankful for any help, and willing to send a small reward in Bitcoin.
I don’t think there’s a way to force-flash the rom via twrp, unless some scripts in the rom are modified. You basically need stock recovery to sideload and flash the rom.
Besides, if your device is rooted (which I think it is…) the sdcard update will most likely fail with an error message.
Copying the rom to sdcard and attempting to flash directly via twrp will still return the error message.
Since your device requires you to flash Tab2 A10-X30L firmware, download and flash the firmware here – https://www.leakite.com/2017/10/lenovo-tab2-tb2-x30l-firmware.html.

Before you attempt using the above firmware, can you access a windows PC? Because most of these tools are designed basically for Windows.
OK thanks for the detailed response, I’ll give it a try and update here 🙂
Nothing, unfortunately if I follow the procedure you linked I receive a “Sahara” error when flashing 🙁
when trying to Flash the ROM the guide above says i need to select XML but there is no XML?
how do i go on from there? i cannot click Download as its greyed out.
Sorry guys, for any inconvenience caused. There was a mix up with the flashing instruction.
But it’s all been rectified and updated in the post now. No need to re-download, just follow the updated instructions to flash the firmware.
Hey thanks for the update.
Is there any way of doing this without a Micro SD? like through USB cable to PC?
Hi Froggy, I just added the firmware you requested: to be flashed via PC. See updated post content.
Thanks for the quick response(s) great help Thanks heaps ^.^
Your help please one more time!! I can’t find the .xml file at rom zip file. Can i proceed without this file? Also i want to erase everything with new rom, do i have to import .xml file?
Regards,
Sakis
Also the emmc file is not firehose but emmc_appsboot.mbn , idont know if this is right or wrong.
Regards,
Sakis
Yes you can. A couple of other users of the device flashed same, and it worked just fine.
But if you are unsure, or don’t have any good reason to flash your phone, don’t proceed.
