#If U Successfully unlocked ur Bootloader then,
place the recovery image in the same directory as fastboot.
Open a terminal on your PC and reboot the device into fastboot mode by typing
adb reboot bootloader
or by using the hardware key combination
(press & hold Volume down and power button When phone is off)
#Once the device is in fastboot mode, verify your PC sees the device by typing
fastboot devices
If you don't see your device serial number, and instead see "<waiting for device>", fastboot is not configured properly on your machine.
#Flash recovery onto your device by entering the following command:
fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.img
where the latter part is the filename of the recovery image.
Once the flash completes successfully, reboot the device into recovery to verify the installation. Boot to recovery instructions: Hold Volume Down & Power simultaneously. On the next screen use Volume Down to scroll to recovery and then use Volume Up to select.

It's not my fault.... seems a bug of twrp
XT 1068 UK
TWRP 2.8.0.1 Back up fails to both internal and external SD.
When external selected, backup starts but after 10 to 30 seconds it reboots the device. It starts to back up files and then just reboots. If I don't select compress backup, then it starts to backup more files before it reboots. Seems to be time related. Also tried unplugging while backing up and same issue.
Folders get created in all cases for external SD but data files. Not sure where the log files would get stored. Suspect they don't get created as the system reboots during the backup
I have made a map with ADB and fastboot pre-installed with tools for flashing: recovery, system(not tested), boot. Also i have the tool to delete: system, cache and data for flashing CM or other ROMs. Also it has the tools to reboot in recovery and bootloader. I used almost every tool on my own HTC desire C, but im not responsible for any problems. I can help you if you get stuck but if your device gets bricked than its not my fault. Here is a guide how to flash CM and CWM + downloads:
How to install CWM:
1. Turn on USB Debugging (USB-foutopsporing voor nederlanders) under the developers settings (instellingen voor ontwikkelaars voor nederlanders)
2. download the recovery.img
3. put it in the folder of my tools
4. quick booting must be off (snel opstarten voor nederlanders, im from holland and i don't know what the name of that setting is) then power off your phone
5. hold down volume down button and then power button for several seconds
6. then click on fastboot > reboot bootloader >again fastboot and connect your phone to pc
7. double-click flash recovery and done!
8. there are several ways to boot into recovery but i use the volume down+power button and then recovery
IMPORTANT: Your phone must be rooted and bootloader unlocked.
How to flash CM 10.0 android 4.1.2 or other CM software
1. Download the update.zip
2. open it and copy the boot.img but don't delete it and put the copied boot.img in the folder of my tools
3. place the boot.img on the SD-Card of your phone
4. boot into recovery and install the update.zip
5. don't reboot it, get the battery out of the phone and put it back.
6. hold down volume down+power button
7. choose fastboot > reboot bootloader > and again fastboot
8. now connect your device to your PC
9. double-click flash boot and done!
My homemade tools mediafire.com/download/u13t8i2rcnbz33k/ADB.zip

I have done all the steps but For some reason twrp is not installed and i still have the stock recovery. Please help
That's because the above only boots TWRP to root but does not install it. To install TWRP, when in booted with TWRP, you need to transfer the TWRP img to the tablet storage and then install it while in TWRP.
it is important to show the pathway to the file TWRP-3.0.2_TB-X103F-beta.img in the command line, like:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\My Videos\TWRP-3.0.2_TB-X103F-beta.img
Sorry for this newbie question.
Which part of the above rooting steps is rooting my tablet, what is TWRP doing and why do I need to install the SuperSU app?
During my first try I didn't boot the TWRP image rather I flashed it. But that didn't help at all.
After booting the TWRP image I was able to flash the SuperSU app.
The stock recovery is still in use.
Thanks in advance.
Read the steps carefully and follow the steps, it is a tested successfull strategy. To get deep knowlege about the background processes, please read the threads elsewhere in Web.
Yow how do you enter Fastboot on the tablet and i haved tied avery button on the tablet and i dont see the fastboot option

Hi everyone. I just want to clarify something about this procedure There's a lot of people being confused on how to get into FASTBOOT on some things, and that's stopping them getting anywhere from the beginning.
The Lenovo TB-X103F tablet doesn't have a way of booting directly into FASTBOOT. Turning the tablet On while holding either volume key and the On button doesn't do it directly. . . . . Firstly, there's 3 buttons on the tablet, I call them VOL- VOL+ PWR (again, that's just to clarify things 100%)
here's what must be done (well it's this way on the 3 I have on my desk, so I assume all TB-X103F tablets are the same) . . . . .
1) Turn the tablet off completely.
2) Press & hold the VOL+ button (the middle of the 3 buttons).
3) Press & hold the PWR button, release the PWR button as soon as anything appears on screen - Keep holding VOL+ button.
4) After about 8 seconds the familiar green android lay down will appear. Then, your recovery menu will appear.
5) Release the VOL+ button anytime now.
6) Press either VOL button to select BOOTLOADER on the menu (Bootloader is the same as FASTBOOT on this menu, that's where the confusion lies for many users).
7) Got Bootloader selected? now press PWR and let the tablet reboot itself.
8) it will show the LENOVO logo, and appear to be stuck - it isn't It's in Fastboot mode.
9) Plug in your USB to PC cable, and it'll install appropriate drivers on the PC (hopefully eh?).
10) Once the drivers are installed, test it by getting a Command Prompt in your ADB/FASTBOOT folder on your PC . . . .
11) type the command FASTBOOT DEVICES It should show you that your device is connected, if it shows no devices then either it didn't install the drivers, or something
else is wrong (there's about 30 things that can have gone wrong here, too many to go through in this quick guide).
12) The tablet will stay in FASTBOOT/BOOTLOADER mode until you turn it off (or the battery goes flat lol). So stay calm, there's no rush
I've mentioned about there being no rush, because if you choose ADB connecting from the recovery menu, it disconnects automatically after about 5 minutes -
This is Important to know because it can disconnect while you're pushing/pulling files from the tablet, and cause really nasty problems. Bad design eh?
But we're in Fastboot mode, so nothing to worry about like that

Successful root
It was hard, but I had finally had done it. I had figured it out it is easier just to go to the command prompt (I ran it under admin) and "cd C:/adb" (where you installed the adb fastboot software) while having the TWRP image file being placed there. I only wished that I had done it sooner. And for those who are new to the custom recovery it can be overwealming, but with patience and going through the files in the file explorer to find your main storage would lead you to the SuperSU file and successfully root your device.
I flashed TWRP...now what? I can't find any instructions on how to reboot into TWRP. I got into some sort of Chinese menu (PWR + VOL-) but I'm pretty sure this is the device test menu.
So I did the "fastboot oem unlock-go" command and adb said ok but my tablet just went to a black screen and won't turn on now and I'm not sure why. I also heard the Windows USB disconnect sound when i did it.
Would this work with the TB-X104F running 8.1?
Since a few months my tablet is stuck with the 'password changed, wait....' message. I had hoped that I could overcome this with the steps mentioned here. But unfortunately not
I can't start it anymore, so I'm not sure if it is in developers mode or not. Also, plugging the device in my mac didn't let it download the drivers.
Too bad, because when it was working it was a great tablet, now it's just a expensive drawer filler

so what exactly do i have to type at the command prompt to run twrp?,ive put the twrp img file in the same folder as the adb stuff.
3.) start command shell (cmd) in the fastboot instalation folder on your PC and check for the device connection with the command:
"fastboot devices"
fastboot shows notting
lenovo seems to have killed these tablets from the old lady next doors experience.. no wifi, no adb, no fastboot, no qualcomm, just unknown device, which loads NOTHING, no drivers work!!!
Welcome to my thread. Today I am going to teach you how to install a custom recovery on the device and how to recover the original boot files on the phone to modify them. After modifying those files you will have root on the device. A lot of time and effort has been put into getting this to work. The custom recovery that we will be using is TWRP Recovery.
Note: Modifying your device will void the manufacturer's warranty.
All modifications made to your device are done at your own risk and you claim full
responsibility if the device is damaged or if data is lost.
First, we are going to enable OEM Unlock and USB Debugging. To do so, you will follow the steps below.
1. Sign in to your Mi Cloud Account on your phone.
2. Tap the “Settings” menu on your Mi 11 Ultra, then tap the “About Phone” option.
3. Tap the “MIUI Version” option several times until you see the “You are now a developer” message.
4. Tap the “Additional Settings” Menu, then tap the “Developer options” on your phone.
5. Activate the “OEM Unlock” option, then activate the “USB Debugging” option on your phone.
6. Tap the “Mi Unlock Status” option.
7. Tap “Agree” and then tap the “Add account and device” option on your phone.
8. Turn off your phone, then press the volume down button and the power button simultaneously to put your phone into fastboot mode.
9. Connect your phone to your PC via a USB cable.
10. Download the miflash ZIP file.
11. Extract the miflash unlock tool ZIP file. You will find the Mi USB Driver.exe file and the miflashunlock.exe file after extracting it.
12. Install the Mi USB driver on your PC.
13. Run the miflashunlock.exe file on your PC.
14. Tap the Agree button and then Sign in with your Mi Account after running the miflash_unlock.exe.
15. Click the “Unlock” button, then click the “Unlock anyway” button within the miflash tool to start the process.
16. Click the “Reboot phone” button after you see the “Unlocked successfully” message.
Downloads:
Unlock tool: https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html
Additionally, we will need to have TWRP flashed to the recovery of the phone.
1. We will need to have ADB installed on the computer so download the 15 Second ADB Installer.
2. Run the ADB-Setup.exe.
3. Open a CMD terminal as an Administrator.
4. Type in the command: CD C:/ADB.
5. Type in the command: ADB Devices, make sure that there is a device showing up.
6. Download the TWRP.img to the ADB folder located on C:/ADB.
7. Make sure that you do not have a password or code lock on the device. There can not be any lock on the lock screen.
8. Type the command ADB Reboot Bootloader.
9. Type the command Fastboot Boot TWRP.img.
10. Navigate to the Advanced menu of TWRP and tap on “Install Recovery Ramdisk”.
11. Navigate back to the main menu then tap on Reboot and tap on Recovery.
Downloads:
15 Second ADB Installer: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...vers-15-seconds-adb-installer-v1-4-3.2588979/
TWRP image: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ztP266XjxteVk8pxcD7-sD-IxihmODPV?usp=sharing
Now we will copy the three boot files on the phone and make backups.
1. Navigate to Mount on the root menu or TWRP.
2. Select the System Partition and Data partition then go back to the menu.
3. Navigate to Advanced then Terminal.
4. Type the command dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot of=/sdcard/boot.img.
5. Type the command dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot_a of=/sdcard/boot_a.img.
6. Type the command dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot_b of=/sdcard/boot_b.img.
7. After all the commands have been entered you can now exit back to the system by rebooting to the system in the Reboot menu.
8. Next, we will install Magisk on the phone to modify the boot files, download the Magisk.apk file on your phone.
9. Open the apk and install the Magisk.apk on the device. You will have to enable Unknown Sources if you have not already.
10. Open Magisk and select install on the Magisk tab.
11. Under Method tap the Select and Patch a File and select the boot.img file.
12. Press the LET'S GO button after you have selected the file. (Make sure to note down the name of the Output file for each file).
13. Repeat steps 11 and 12 for boot file boot_a.img and boot file boot_b.img.
Downloads:
Magisk: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
Now we will flash the boot files to the phone and we will be rooted!
1. Copy the files you just made from the storage of the phone under /Internal shared storage/Download/(Filenames) to the ADB folder located on C:/ADB
2. Restart the phone and once the phone screen turns off hold the Volume Down button to boot into fastboot.
3. Now this is where it is very crucial to ensure you know what each file corresponds to for the boot files. Type in the command Fastboot flash boot (Modified file name for boot.img).
4. Type in the command Fastboot Flash Boot_a (Modified file name for boot_a.img).
5. Type in the command Fastboot Flash Boot_b (Modified file name for boot_b.img).
6. Then type the command Fastboot reboot
7. Load Magisk and verify that it is indeed installed.
8. Boom rooted!
I don't get this I rooted much easier by simply flashing magisk.
I downloaded magisk zip
I then booted into fastboot connecting my ohone to the pc
I booted into twrp from fastboot with the command "fastboot boot twrp.img"
From twrp I simply flashed magisk.zip wiped dalvik and ART cache and rebooted the phone
Root done!
My question is now how can I update without loosing data.
I was thinking of installing the new rom via miflashtool without wiping data and then reflash magisk. It should work right?

In my testing I couldn't get my phone to root with Magisk. I haven't tested that but it sounds like it should work.
Look it is super simple, it can be done on every rom with an unlocked bootloader (this must be obvious)
Download the latest magisk.zip file on your phone
Download the compatible TWRP for your device on your computer and put it into your ADB and fastboot folder and rename it "twrp.img" (make sure you replace the file extension with the ".img")
Reboot your phone into fastboot
Connect the phone to the PC
Run the check command "fastboot devices" to check if your device is listed
Then run the command "fastboot boot twrp.img"
Your phone will now boot into twrp recovery and there is no need to flash it and overwrite the original recovery
Now give twrp the permissions to look into your folder by unlocking it at boot (password of pattern depends on what you use normally for your phone)
Now since the twrp is chinese you must change your language into english (3rd button on the right then click on the globe on the up right and select the language you want)
Now go into wipe and wipe manually cache and dalvik
Now go into your system and search for magisk.zip, flash it and wipe again dalvik and cache.
Reboot your phone
Now when you boot you must have magisk through your apps, boot magisk and complete the installation process.
Reboot again and enjoy!

Hi, xNAPx !
Thank you for this tuto, but i have a problem :/
At this step, twrp is booting straight on the menu, no password asked, and so, no access to data :/
Do you have an idea please ?
(i'm using xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11Pro_MI11Ultra_21.12.8_v12-12-fastboot)
I believe this is a known issue, there is a problem on some versions of twrp with encryption, to me never happened. What kind of screen security do you have on your phone?

You can try 2 things, remove the screen lock protection or inject a different version of twrp, I never had this problem as I boot twrp via adb
