Lenovo Yoga Smart Tab Recovery Mode

I've had some problems with my Lenovo Yoga Smart Tab 10 tablet that it couldn't boot Android anymore. When I called the helpdesk, they didn't know either how to access the recovery mode.
It turns out you need to press volume up, volume down and power all at the same time. The volume rocker turns out to be two separate buttons!

Thank you so very, very much! I spent 10 hours or so searching for how to reset my YT-X705F without success, then I found this video. Thank you! (And I've already noted down the PIN that I used this time ...)

My Yoga Tab 10 was fine for three years since new. Now it lost it's ability to wi=fi (shuts wi-fi off after 15 seconds without my touching it) and then it began spontaneously rebooting. Sometimes it would reboot itself for over half an hour before loading. Now it just reboots forever. I did the POWER + VOL as you did, reset to factory and guess what ? It made no difference at all, it keeps rebooting. As it's out of warranty I am spared the waste of time calling a number that doesn't answer, or worse, talking to a clueless "tech" who'll lie to me and give bad information. Now what do I do ? No boot + no wi-fi = no "update". Before it went totally wonky when I was still able to be online I did check the update, which told me that it was current, but I did not write down any numbers. It all seems pointless now unless somebody here can direct me how to revive this expensive paperweight. 🤬Thanks in advance.

[@LivingLinux]

That's unfortunate. You can try to find an ethernet to USB adapter and try to connect to the internet that way. I used ethernet to USB adapter and USB-A to USB-C adapter. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqjMd5iaotugZ68 But to me it sounds as if something is broken on the hardware level. Perhaps it's possible to install a new image, but so far I haven't heard that Lenovo provides a download link to a new Android image. Or you can wait to see if LineageOS becomes available. wiki.lineageos.org/devices/#lenovo

[@jeetchottai9944]

Thx it worked

[@anitareitan912]

thanks !!!!

[@emmerlykim8547]

Hi, when I do this a Linux pinquin shows up on a Black screen and I Can’t conplete a hard reset. Can you help?

[@LivingLinux]

You don't see a menu at all? Are you sure you pressed both buttons of the volume controller?

[@sdnalyam]

Done this and activated reboot but it only goes to the Lenovo powered by Android screen and stays there. Any idea on how to get it to boot up?.

[@LivingLinux]

You can try to wipe the cache partition, but I suspect you have more serious problems. You are probably out of warranty, so I guess sending it back to Lenovo for repair will be costly.

[@sdnalyam]

@@LivingLinux Already wiped cache partition.

[@Chinese080808]

Do you know how to enter self diagnostics for this tablet?

[@LivingLinux]

You can run diagnostics with this app from Lenovo: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lenovo.serviceit

[@Chinese080808]

@@LivingLinux thanks! I tried it but didn't help. My front cam became undetectable after android 10 update. 😞

[@LivingLinux]

@@Chinese080808 Mine still says Android 9 is the current release. Perhaps you can ask Lenovo Support where you can download Android 9 for your tablet.

[@Chinese080808]

@@LivingLinux no one picks up at Lenovo support. Online or phone.

[@LivingLinux]

When you do a factory reset, do you get back to Android 9?

[@MrGolleador]

do you have recovery image by install in fastboot? Because on my tablet not work recovery :/

[@LivingLinux]

I think you have to get in touch with Lenovo Support. There are images out there on other websites, but I'm not sure if they are exactly the same as the one from Lenovo.

[@mitimabvuto5676]

My Touch screen isn't responding. Please help. It's running on Android 10.

[@LivingLinux]

When a factory reset doesn't help, there's not much I can help you with. You might have a hardware problem.

[@sohpiaQ.F7020]

I did this and i cant connect to the internet so im stuck on the setup menu

[@LivingLinux]

You don't have wifi access? It is possible to connect ethernet, with an adapter. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqjMd5iaotugZ68

[@wopan14]

Sorry, but my yoga doesn't find the factory software???

[@LivingLinux]

Which tablet do you have exactly? Do you get to the menu?

[@blaaaaaaaa2017]

How is this tablet now? Thank you!

[@LivingLinux]

I'm upgrading to Android 10 now. I'll get back to you once I have tested the upgrade some more.

[@3n16m4666]

Is it possible to install arm linux on.this?

[@LivingLinux]

Probably you can, as you have full access in the recovery menu. But it's probably not easy.

[@MagicMagieLife]

I am experiencing somes crashes when the tablet gets into sleep mode. It closes all the apps and disconnect from wifi. I already ask the support and received a new one but the problem still remain... Is someone having the same issues ?

[@LivingLinux]

I haven't experienced this problem. What kind apps did you isntall?

[@MagicMagieLife]

@@LivingLinux only basic apps like Spotify and Netflix... Don't really know what is the cause. Anyway I returned it to after sales service but it's a shame because the tablet was good though.

[@MagicMagieLife]

After sales service return it saying it was repaired but it wasn't. Anyway I managed to repaired it : FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE : There is an update that was released a few days ago ( android10) Since the installation of the update was not working properly, I reset the tablet to factory, then KEPT the selected language ENGLISH ( instead of whatever language you usually use (mine was French)), and then I was finally able to update without crashes. Once updated and working perfectly, I turned the tablet back to French. Hope this can help someone in the same case.

[@MagicMagieLife]

Trying to update it while resetting to factory state but selecting French instead of English didn't work for some reasons that I do not understand.

[@LivingLinux]

@@MagicMagieLife Good to see you got it working in the end. I'm wondering why they released the update dated March 8th 2021. At least the security patch level was updated to February 2021.

[@franciscovega6448]

May 2021 and running

[@LivingLinux]

Yes, it's still running. But I'm really interested in the Lenovo Yoga Pad Pro. It will be twice as expensive, but the chip will be much more powerful and it comes with a 13" HDR display and can also work as external monitor! I really hope they will sell it internationally. www.notebookcheck.net/The-Lenovo-Yoga-Pad-Pro-is-now-official-in-China-with-a-micro-HDMI-port-built-in-kickstand-16-10-display-and-more.541086.0.html
