Lenovo tablet firmware process step by step

After you install the drivers, download the installation file and prepare the device for firmware, you can begin the installation process itself.

I specifically separated the flashing of a gadget with a MediaTek processor and the flashing of a device with a Qualcomm processor, since each brand of processor has its own program, course of action and names of buttons. You can find out which processor is in your device by typing the name of the device into a Google or Yandex search engine. Opposite the characteristics of the processor (chipset), the name of the processor will be written.

Often this will be referred to as SoC (system on a chip). You can also flash the tablet using Android applications and obtain Root rights, but in my opinion, installing the OS via a PC is much easier and more reliable.

Firmware for a tablet with a MediaTek processor

A program for flashing devices with a MediaTek processor - SP Flash Tool. Download it from here: lenovo-forums.ru Step-by-step instructions for installing firmware on devices with a MediaTek processor:

1. In the downloaded files with the operating system, find the “target_bin” archive and unpack it to any other location. It is important that there is no Cyrillic alphabet on the path to the unpacked archive. Only Latin letters!
2. Unpack the SP Flash Tool program.

   
   Appearance of SP Flash Tool

Firmware can be installed using any version of this software; it is not necessary to use the latest one. The path to the program must contain only Latin letters.

• Run the executable file “Flash_tool.exe”.
• Click on the “Scatter-loading” button.
• Select “MT65??_Android_scatter_emmc.txt”, where instead of “??” there will be a two-digit number depending on the processor in your gadget.
• Check the box next to “DA DL All With Check Sum”.
• Look at the tabs in “Options”. There should be a checkmark next to “USB Mode” and “DA Download All”.
• Click on the Firmware-Upgrade button.
• Turn off your tablet.
• Connect it to your PC via USB cable.
• The OS installation process will automatically begin and a circle will appear that will be filled with green. When it is completely full, it will notify you that the flashing has been successfully completed.

This completes the firmware.
