I can get it into odin download mode or fastboot mode. But i cannot see it with adb or fastboot (it doesent show up when using adb devices or fastboot devices.
i can use odin to do a pda flash but outcome is stil the same.

Here's what you do.
Download the file linked below
Download ODIN attached below
Once both are downloaded, extract PDA_SIGNED_P7105.tar
Boot your tablet into ODIN and plug it into your PC
Open the ODIN program on your PC and check the box next to PDA
Click the PDA button and navigate to the file you downloaded earlier
Press Start and let it flash
Once it is done, it will still boot loop.
You need to go into recovery (It will now be the default recovery) and wipe data/factory reset only.
Reboot and it should load up, however you will be on 3.0.1.
You can get back to 3.1 by rooting and installing recovery again or by using the update feature in the tablet's settings.
Good luck!

Thanks!
Hi All,
I am done the ODIN step, but it still in bootloop mode. I dont know how to do with the Fastboot recover mode. I tried with my Windows 7 and it can't recognized my fastboot driver and stay in the <waiting for device>. Is there any solution for me. Thank you so much.

Hello, I have also followed these directions however I am having issues rebooting into recovery using adb.
When I execute adb devices no devices are found.
Any additional help would be appreciated. Thanks
UPDATE:
Success!! I was able to correct the boot loop problem by installing fastboot on a linux machine and running sudo fastboot -w. Also my tablet was in fastboot mode (Power + Volume down, then Select the usb symbol).
Instructions for installing fastboot were found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14675422&postcount=2
boot looping SOLVED! Honeycomb 3.1 google i/o galaxy tab 10.1
[IO TAB] Boot looping? Try this to get your tab back...
I had an issue with my IO 10.1 Tab boot looping. I imagine that this would work for retail as well but have not tried it.
This process will factory reset your device.
You will need fastboot and recovery.img to boot into recovery in order to perform a factory reset.
Fastboot & Stock IO recovery comes from this post as an attachment at the bottom.
You need adb to continue (windows).
1. Extract files to where adb resides (platform-tools folder in android SDk main folder) e.g
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools .
2. Plug your tab in to a power source and then hold down the power button until it shuts down. Wait until the tab displays the charging battery.
3. Press and hold the volume down (left button in landscape) and power buttons until the usb and odin icons show up. Volume down to move left and volume up to select the usb logo. Now you should be in fastboot. Plug the usb into your computer.
4. Time to fire up adb!
Start / run / cmd , cd\,
Than, cd to your platform-tools folder or wherever your adb is at. (should be in platform-tools inside of android-sdk-windows)
5. In cmd type "adb start-server" without quotes to start adb. All comands should exclude quotes.
6. Type "fastboot devices" your device serial should appear!If not:
Edit the “<PATH TO ANDROID SDK>\extras\google\usb_driver\android_winusb.inf” file and copy/paste the following lines and add them to the [Google.NTx86] section (for 32bit Windows) and/or [Google.NTamd64] (for 64bit Windows).
NO Empty line above this set, though galaxy tab 10.1v but works for all variants!(tab detected as adb xxx device)
;Galaxy Tab 10.1v
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_04E8&PID_6860&REV_9999&MI_01
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_04E8&PID_6860&MI_01
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_04E8&PID_6601
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0955&PID_7000
;
Download the fastboot zip attached to this post (includes both Win and Linux version) and extract the files to your “<PATH TO ANDROID SDK>\platform-tools” folder
7. Now, type "fastboot boot recovery.img"
8. Now you should boot into recovery. For "adb command lines" to work boot with clockworkmod recovery img (Command and files here: http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=2032)
If you want to try other stuff like push a system restore, kernel or whatever, now you can. If you fail at it, you can always repeat the steps leading up to this point to get back to recovery.
9. Time to just get the tab back! Select "wipe data/factory reset" and confirm, clear cache.
10. After that is done select "reboot device".
Credits to JASKRU from rootwiki, with some additions and modifications extracted from different sources!
for rooting the tab install the zip file from this post in recovery mode (loading recovery.img from fastboot):
http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=2054
P.S don't reboot into recovery with adb command "adb reboot recovery" as it doesn't work, correct way is with fastboot command as mentioned in step 7!
'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
FIRST STEP: add the attached fastboot files into the container folder of adb (in sdk folder)
This is mine:
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
of course I did that and mine is in the same folder as yours
I get to step six and thats when it gives me the error
E:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>fast boot devices
'fast' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
also when I go to the left instead of odin this is my pic (in attachment)
NOW if I hit the power button and the right on in landscape mode I do get the android system recovery options says Android System Recovery <3e> (pic attached)
I have tried wiping date clearing cache as far as fastboot goes it still doesnt let me in fastboot eventhough im not sure at this point what fastboot even is
I finally got CWM 4.0.0.4 on it but now what because somehow im on 3.0.1 on my tab it wont charge and idk what to do
These steps were tested on 3.1.can you update your firmware from kies or on device?fastboot is needed to boot into the recovery image as in your pic which you already have managed being in older firmware.
E:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>fast boot devices
I believe something is still wrong, did you extract the contents of zip file in the platform-tools or the complete folder?Second, how was your tab once in fastboot recongnized by windows it should be as an adb. Device and not fastboot. Third, try manually installing the driver from extras folder, google, usb in android sdk. Last is your system 64bit or 32bit as the modification in inf file should be made accordingly. The only issue is driver or fastboot exe not being in adb folder.
Adding, once in recovery as in the pic, try command adb devices and let know if your device is detected hence you can push a restore fileto your device and reboot or push original recovery.zip file and apply it from sdcard (internal memory).
Last try odin option and flash firmware as tar file mentioned in this forum, try the bootloop or blank screen threads.
tried this route but it cannot find my device via ADB - used the PDANet driver - note i did not get a driver in the extras folder
ideas?

solved my problem -
first fastboot.exe is located in the android-sdk\tools directory. i copied it to my android-sdk\platform-tools directory
Then i get into the tablet's fastboot mode (holding down power + volume down, then select the USB icon) i plug in the cable to my PC's USB, then go to device manager and you should see a fastboot device with an exclamation mark. right click on this and select update driver then navigate to android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver directory and select android_winusb.inf - it should now install the driver
open up a cmd window and follow the instructions highlighted above starting at step 7

IN Short, follow the steps in my previous post from 1st till end! Flashing the bootloader file from my thread in development section, is easiest way. Replacing fastboot with recovery option in bootscreen solves many issues for non-developers!
yes and i should add your method was very effective ! thanks
what threw me off initially was not finding the fastboot.exe which was in a different folder and the usbdriver - which needed to be installed separately and can be found by launching SDK manager, selecting Available packages-Third-party Add ons-Google Inc - Google USB Driver Package revision 4

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 boot loop
Edit: *Fixed!* Ok, so here is my advice to all you other noobs who bricked your tablet, be AWARE that your tablet actually is conscious, it chooses when it wants to work. Just do everything it says on here, all the fixes I have listed, reboot a bunch of times, yell at it, and when you cry a true tear of pain and remorse, and it splashes down on the surface, it will recognize this and all of a sudden work. Booted to 3.0.1 and going to update, that all that is holy.
Hi Guys, I am having the same problem and need some expert advice please, I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with Android Honeycomb 3.1, running Windows XP Pro SP3
I've gone over every solution to this problem on xda over two days and none have worked for me, either that or i'm not doing it correctly.
I successfully rooted my Tab a few days ago, then tried to install a 'boosted' theme and everything is messed up now. When I boot it just hangs on the samsung loading screen, and it reboots to the same screen.
I have tried wiping data/factory reset in cwm
I have tried wiping cache partition
I have tried running Odin through downloading mode
I have adb and fastboot installed on my computer
I have Samsung Android adb interface driver in Device Manager
I have PDAnet installed
When I boot holding the volume down and power button to get the two options, the only two options I have are the Odin Downloading green guy on the right, and an icon with a box and an arrow coming out of it that takes me to CWM on the left.
So I cannot choose fastboot mode on the Tab, when I try to run 'fastboot flash system new.img' through cmd.exe it just says < waiting for device >
I"m a total noob to this and should have left well enough alone when I successfully rooted it, i'm sure I must be just missing a small step, if I could get a bit of guidance it would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Anyone know of a way to get into recovery mode (botton combo, one-click, etc.) on the 10.1 tab without having android sdk and adb installed on my PC? I am not new at flashing files in recovery mode, but going through help files/instructions on adk is a bit overwhelming.
I have the root zip file on my tab, I just need to get into recovery mode to flash it.
Thanks in advance...
It isn't possible without adb on a non-rooted device. You can attempt to boot into recovery mode by holding power and volume down on start up and selecting the android guy with "downloading" but it will say: "waiting for usb" and hang there. I was attempting to do this the other night.
Getting into recovery is dead simple though once you have adb going. Go to the android development section and go to rooting your tablet. Download the drivers > connect to the computer > run adb in command prompt once you have your sdk installed > then if you have your drivers fully installed and usb debugging mode is on just type in command prompt "adb reboot recovery" and it will send you directly to recovery mode to flash any zip file you please.
Thx, Really wish someone had a one-click option, I guess i'll just have to jump in
I've been trying to boot into recovery for a while now, but with no luck. I installed the full SDK platform, and the Manager app downloaded and installed all the available packages (took forever). The 'push' command seemed to work fine, and when I do "adb reboot recovery" the tablet reboots, but just goes into the battery charging screen. Any idea why this might be happening, and what I can do to get into recovery?

The mode that says "downloading" is not recovery mode. Just select the one on the left and you will get into stock recovery mode (unless you already have Clockwork installed).

I managed to do that, but it wouldn't show anything on my '/sdcard' directory, even when I renamed the root package to "update.zip"
In red, it says "E:unknown volume for path [/sdcard]" Not sure if I'm getting into real, stock recovery, or what - seems crazy that stock wouldn't be able to access its own sdcard directory.
Battery not recovery mode
I am in a similar situation, when I use adb to run recovery mode it sends me to teh battery charging screen. With the exception of that they only other things I can do are to hold power and vol to get option of using Fastboot or ODIN. I do not have any options ever to chose to go into recovery mode. Anyone know why this may be? I am running 3.1 IO version.
Thanks
You will need fastboot and recovery.img to boot into recovery in order to perform a factory reset.
Installing the sdk works best, as drivers needed are acquired from the process! ELse there are extracted contents available on net including just the drivers, adb (and fastboot!)

I don't think the stock retail recovery is capable of flashing off SD storage. That's why the current rooting methods have you first flash either I/O recovery or a custom recovery.

Use the quick boot app. Works well for me. Supports power off, recovery, and normal reboot for the free version. Oh yeah but that requires root.

This worked for me on Rogers 4G version
After trying to install ICS on my folio 100 using Rom manager, the update to ICS failed. Now the Folio 100 starts normally, but it doesn’t react on the buttons (power + vol +, 3x power vol 1). It just starts normally and after that I can use everything the normal way. Except when I change language from English into Nederlands, it’s not saved and after a restart of the system it’s back in English again, including the time zone which will be back to GMT +00.00 which is very annoying. The only way to get rid of this is to reinstall Android 3. By the way, factory reset doesn’t reset anything. It just restarts the Folio.
Getting into recovery from the menu or from Rom manager won’t do the trick either. The only thing I can use is ABD. But the command “flash_image recovery recovery.img” gives an error: “Error scanning partitions: No such file or directory”. And the file is in the system-directory. So this is a dead end for me too. I searched the forum and the internet, tried several possibilities, but now I’m stuck. I’ve considered opening the Folio and to start it without NAND connected, but I haven’t tried this, because I still hope for a software solution. What will happen when I manually delete of format the internal SD? Is there anyone who can help me to get my folio into recovery one way or another? Data is lost already, so that’s no problem anymore in this case.
Fastboot command is: fastboot flash recovery recovery.x.y.z.img ... not flash_image recovery.img (name of the recovery ofc)
Ics ? CM9? If so just read the tutorial on the topic related its simple as hell...
Also best way to start an new: fast boot erase Linux/recovery/system/cache/userdata one after another then fastboot reboot (remove USB before it reboot) check the folio say magic mismatch error then reboot pressing long on power(6sec) then the recovery command.

Thanks, but this isn't the solution. The main problem is that I can't get my Folio into fastboot/recovery mode anymore. After that updating is simple. Done it several times before. Do you have a suggestion how I can get it into fastboot/recovery mode. ADB wont work either.

I removed the external SD-card (to the right of the orange light). But that doesn't help. How can I remove the internal SD-card? I removed the back and the battery but I do not find a sd-card. Unmounting the internal SD-card doesn't do the trick either.
did You come in the recovery menu??
I think you flashed the ics withe the wrong recovery...
flash the old rom aigan (copy the update.zip in the sdcard and update the folio via recovery menu)
when that works, try aigan with fastboot to flash first boot, then recovery (but the right version!!)

I think you're absolutely rigth about flashing the wrong recovery. Problem is that I can't come into a recovery menu (power + vol up). Fastboot won't work either (3xpower + vol up). I've used both before, so the configuration on my pc is right. Now al I have to do is boot into recovery or into fastboot. That's my problem, flashing with the working Honeycomb-version is no problem at al when I get into the recovery menu. Do you no what happens if I delete the complete /system/-directory on my folio? Is that an option to force the tab into recovery?
...and how want you delete the complete sys? do you mean with root explorer in rw-option?? thats very dangerous...can't you flash with rom manager?

I can access the internal sd-card using ADB. This way I should be able to delete/move/copy files. After puting the system-partionion in RW-state. In Adb shell the command "flash_image recover recover.img" gives an error "erros scanning partitions: No such file or directory". The image files exists! So I'm stuck there too.
I tried to use rommanager. It work once when i was installing ICS. After this it won't boot into recovery. When I use "Flash clockworkmod recovery" in Rommanager v5.0.0.6 i only get the following phone models: Advent Vega, Elocity A7, LG/T-mobile G2X, LGE Optimus 2x, Motorolo XOOM and Viewsonic Gtablet (smb_a1002) - bootloader 1.1. I tried all the phone models, but all they do is reboot the tablet. No choice will boot into recovery. Also tried clockworkmod recovery 2.5.1.4 but also no succes.
I do not know how to install clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 for Folio. I only can find an option to install it using recovery menu or fastboot. And both won't work on my tablet.
and you have put the recover.img file in the fastboot directory?

Still the main problem is that I can't put my folio into fastbootmode via usb.
so far only 2 things prevent my folio to go into fastboot: power cord and/or mini usb unplugged.
also you talk about removing internal SD but you know what they reffere as internal SD is : a chip soldered on the motherboard?Right?
one more thing lets make it clear: fasboot directory isnt fixed, for the sake of accessibility you can put it like me C:\tools_X
also renaming recovery5.0.0.4.img (the one from nopy) into recoveryA.img (i wonder if your error come because you write the wrong commande or if its because of recover.img instead of the right name for the file.)
last option before saying: you F***ed up your tablet if nothing mentioned above works
also side note: every answer from you after a recommendation from a user : contain a new error \\\ important your problem come from : not being able to go into fastboot mode or not being able to flash the recovery via fastboot (either due to : you putting the recovery img not in the right directory or input the wrong command) its important since 1st one is prolly f.u.b.a.r and the second one is recoverable by reading and doing step by step whats explain *exactely what is explain*
the only right command is : "fastboot flash recovery *name of the recovery*.img" and not Flash_recover recover.img as you write it 2 time now

also side note: every answer from you after a recommendation from a user : contain a new error \\\ important your problem come from : not being able to go into fastboot mode or not being able to flash the recovery via fastboot (either due to : you putting the recovery img not in the right directory or input the wrong command) its important since 1st one is prolly f.u.b.a.r and the second one is recoverable by reading and doing step by step whats explain *exactely what is explain*
the only right command is : "fastboot flash recovery *name of the recovery*.img" and not Flash_recover recover.img as you write it 2 time now

Thanks for your help,
the fastboot command fastboot flash recovery......... doesn't work. My pc keeps waiting for the device. Which is to be expected while i can't boot my folio into fastboot-mode. The command i used before is in adb shell.
Can you tell me where to put recovery.img exactly on my folio? And what i should do after i,ve put it there. I can use a root-explorer on my folio and i can use adb push ...... to move or copy files. Also mounting system in rw-mode is no problem anymore. My folio is rooted and i can use it as root or su in adb-shell.

Don't put the recovery.img into the folio! Copy it to your pc. In the folder where the fastboot.exe is. Then start your folio an go in the fastboot modus (power and three times volume up)
Connect your folio via mini-usb with your pc and open a windows shell(cmd).
Now type
fastboot erase recovery
Fastboot flash recovery nameoftherecoveryfile

Is the problem the fastboot modus at the folio or the connection to your pc?

Recovery mode
Go to recovery mode.
Do you have Android SDK installed in your machine or any Linux substitute in case you are a Linux user? You'll need it.
Read before attempting.
-Find the key combinations that applies to your phone.
-Get into recovery mode pressing the specific keys.
-Connect your device through USB port.
-Write in terminal or cmd:
Code:
adb devices
-if a device is connected proceed, if not, find what's going on.
-Write in terminal or cmd:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
-Find the desired ROM (The one made for your device or a previous system backup that you have made when the phone still worked), ensure it's safe and specific made for your phone.
-There must appear some options showing in your phone screen or maybe the Android robot laying on its back, you'll need to see the options, click buttons until you see them.
-Choose the line that says "apply update from ADB".
-Use the command in Terminal or cmd:
Code:
adb sideload yourzipfile.zip
-It must be a zip file, sometimes you need to unzip the zip file just to find another zip file (usually named update.zip)
-It must show the robot in a different position and some yellow lines showing you the progress, if something goes wrong you'll know, if everything goes fine, good.
-Restart the phone and you're done.
If you can't load the file with adb sideload command, copy the zip file in the SD card and choose apply update from SDcard from the recovery menu, locate the zip file and apply it.
You should be fine if you use the right Android version or backup.
Good luck. If this doesn't works or goes easy as I say, let me know.
Prerequisites:
Can boot into recovery
A working bootanimation.zip
Adb....if you dont have it download minimalistic adb and fastboot for windows.
Okay lets get down to business....
1.First boot into recovery and then select apply update from adb and type -'adb devices'
This will open up the comms port and start adb comms with the device.
2.Now type adb push <bootanimationfile>.zip system/media/
3.and voila you will have revived youtlr device.
Hit thanks if this helped.

You need to flash again the stock rom, the factory reset won't work.
You can found it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51090040&postcount=2 and flashing through fastboot
I don't know what frameworks-res.apk you used, but maybe you forgot set the right permissions, or maybe you took the files for other device.
DL VN 7
Is there some tutorial for flash with fastboot??, i never did it, and i don't want destroy some other..

sorry for the late reply.
In the dell's opensource page there aren't files for the 3730 (i don't know why)
but, may be i'm wrong, there aren't tutorials for flashing in fastboot, i only found posts in xda's dell venue general forum.
i'll write here a guide if you still without founding a tutorial and for any others if found this post
you need:
intel usb drivershttps://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-usb-driver-for-android-devices , read the instruccions if you are in windows 8 (i'm on win7 so i cannot tell you if is the same method or not)
The tools for fastboot (there are in a folder called "google") is a little confused so better download @social-design-concepts miKIT_BATCH HERE (before continue let's say thanks to @social-design-concepts for his useful tool that also works for root ),extract wherever you want in your computer.
the files to flash HEREdownload the package for your device and once donwloaded extract where you want in your computer
NOW FOR FLASH
1.-
Install the intel android usb drivers, if you did this before, skip
2.-
Open the myKIT_BATCH folder and run the "runme.bat" file, then type ACCEPT, after that type 2 and press "enter" (the option 1 is for update the driver, in myKIT_BATCH's post 1 is explained) the font should be red.
3.-
boot into fastboot (press button "power" and button "volume down" at the same time) your tablet's screen will display a blue android with gears inside and below it the "droidboot" text and your device info in your device's top|left screen corner , if yes connect your tablet to pc to recognize it (if is the first time).
4.- Open a command window
after the pc recognizes your tablet unplug and plug again the usb cable, should be faster the recognicion this time.
Then in myKIT_BATCH window press "enter" to refresh, the font will become green and will display your device's info, if is going fine in the window type 4 and press "enter", will appear another window.
IF everything still going fine in the new command window type:
Code:
fastboot devices
will display your device's info
5.- let's start with fastboot
BUT first ENSURE THAT THE BATTERY HAVE A CONSIDERABLE CHARGED LEVEL
Unfortunately i don't know what happens if the tablet power off when flashing and if fastboot will work fine after so check your battery charge first
i need to tell you that the 1-4 steps are the most difficult steps (you should have at this time the rom downloaded and extracted only extract the downloaded package (the .7z file)
after this explained so let's start.
5.1.- WIPING
fastboot have some wipe commands so i will explain the 2 that i used:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
This code explains itself, you can try this code to verify that your device is connected
Code:
fastboot erase data
easy to use but powerful, this will erase app's data and also your internal storage (the 11GB that the tablet have to store files), unfortunately i used this without know and i lost 8GB of files
5.2.- NOW TO FLASH
works almost equal with the wipping commands so it's easy to explain.
let's start with system
for a easy explain you ned to open a window where the rom's files are stored in your pc and in the command shell type "fastboot flash system" and after that drag the system file (system.img.tar.gz) to the command window after dragging the file will appear in the command window the full path of the file
I.E i have a dell venue 8 3830 and i want to flash the jellybean 4.2.2 stock rom so i downloaded the Venue_8_WiFi_JB4.2.2v1.42_FLASHPKG and extract this in F:\VENUE 8 3830\stock rom folder so after type the command and drag and drop the system file in my command window will display this:
Code:
fastboot flash system F:\VENUE 3830\stock rom\VENUE_8_WIFI_JB4.2.2v1.42.system.img.gz
after this the command press "enter" and you don't need to do nothing (maybe your window will turn off and maybe you try to turn on but will keep off, don't worry only let fininsh) the fastboot program will start to prepare the file for upload to the tablet and after that to flash.
this will finish in 1-2 minutes.
NOW THE BOOT.IMG
is the same way than system but faster.
after finishing flashing system (when the window diplays the elapsed time) type: "fastboot flash boot" and drag and drop the boot.img file in the command window
I.E. in my device will be like this:
Code:
fastboot flash boot F:\VENUE 3830\stock rom\VENUE_8_WIFI_JB4.2.2v1.42.boot.img
press "enter" and will do the same like system prepare,upload and flash the file.
there are in the download package more file but only with BOOT and SYSTEM flashed your tab should boot
but if you want to flash the other images you need to type
for recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery F:\VENUE 3830\stock rom\VENUE_8_WIFI_JB4.2.2v1.42.recovery.img
and for fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash fastboot F:\VENUE 3830\stock rom\VENUE_8_WIFI_JB4.2.2v1.42.fastboot.img
for my example, for you will be change a little
thanks to all who read and understand this guide, bad english

unfortunately i don't have a computer with windows 10 so i can't solve easily.
i found this googling, so with a little of faith :fingers-crossed: , is the same error than yours http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/118823/how-to-install-adb-drivers-on-windows-10-opoit's for the OPO, but is about the same "intalling adb driver", so could work
in a dessesperate attempt, you can use the update usb drivers in "myKit_BATCH" typing "1" after typyng "ACCEPT"
I fixed it with 15 seconds installer!, i gng try to fix tablet
But i found next problem, after connect tab to PC, just UNKNOWN, and tab is not showing in mykit

Ahh that's add driver not recognize your tablet, I suppose that you connect in fastboot mode,
Try using the option of update the adb driver in Mykit_BATCH, you don't lose nothing trying.
Other option is trying the dell's method http://opensource.dell.com/releases/Venue_8_3830_CloverTrail_plus/developer-edition/Download the pdf file and read the instructions from page 2 to page 9 if still not working
here is the sdk tools for windows that the pdf wants
I downloaded SDK tools, i installed Google usb driver, because it say not installed, when it was installing it said: Disable adb driver, ineffectual, error code -1, but after install it work good, so i will test with this, when no i will try another way, that u wrote here
Finally, tried method, no work, finally, update ADB no working for me, cuz installation always fail, next one DELL method, working but i found problem, dell wrote update driver via google extra with codes, BUT
My first code: USB\VID_413C&PID_B119&REV_????, ????, i think there is something wrong
My second code: USB\VID_413C&PID_B119, i think this one is alright, but then up
Finally with dell next page i'm in!, but my kit no working, in every command shut down, so i using windows cmd, it working too
Mhm bruh, no i'm in flash system, sending 'system' awesome, but it's more than 2 minutes , when it will work, omg u r awesome
Bruh, yay, i did it, thq u r master <33

Are you telling that the dell method works?
The good new is that your tablet is back (with some problems in the way but work, ). after all now you know how to flash through fastboot. If anyelse goes wrong again, you know what to do
NOTE: Maybe your want to replace the framework-res again, but only will work if is for your device. So i recomend that you modify your stock framework-res by yourself (you can use images or xmls from other sources to your framework-res, this should be safer) using apktool manually or a program (there are some of them in xda, choose your favorite )
Yay 50% of dell method worked, just 50% because Dell have tutorial for setting up ADB service, after it i used your tut, thanks, and believe me i will not test it NEVER again.
After few day i find out solution how to install custom ROM to my Lenovo tablet. I think its first guide how to do it because every other guides were for TB2-X30F but not for TB2-X30L.
Installation guide:

my sister is very grateful
Thank you very much.
What build date has this rom? Sec. patches?
Can you please post your local manifest?
Very interesting guide, unfortunately the links don't work...
Is it possible to restore them?
Tanks. Max
I think its first guide how to do it because every other guides were for TB2-X30F but not for TB2-X30L.
I have only found lineage os for x30l, can someone please link lineage (Android 7) for x30f?
The difference between L and F is that L is the sim card variant. Ive read several people getting "insert sim card" when installing L on a F tablet. So I dont want messages like this.
Thanks for this tutorial. It was possible, to upgrade this old Tablet.
Do you know, if there is anything newer version for our Lenovo?

I have followed the instructions and successfully installed LiOS14. Then, however, I have factory reset the tablet via Settings. Now it always boots to TWRP, no matter what I have tried I could not installed back the LiOS14 I only have TWRP right now.
Any help?

The tablet can also run on LineageOS 16 which is Android 9.
As I saw that the guys in the Russian 4PDA-Forum had been able to create a LiOS16, I was able to make some adjustments and compile a ROM with most recent security patches which now runs on my good old TB2-X30L / TAB2 A10-30:

it seems that google drives are off. Can someone re-upload please?
Hallo,
I have installed LiOS14-UNOFFICIAL-TB2-X30L.zip. The installation was without problems.
But I am having problem with WiFi - problem of MAC 02:00:00:00:00:00. I have tried a lots of tips but nothig worked. Two times I was succesfull to set some MAC, but always, after while, it was gone. No able to reproduce to set.
Is it really so difficult to set somehow the MAC addres for the WiFi?
As I understand the setting of the MAC differs between different releases of OS. Does anybody know how it work in this release? It should by known where this relaese expects the MAC setting. Am I right?
1. temporary succes: Setting MAC in system/etc/firmware/wlan/qca_cld/wlan_mac.bin (I think. Its longer time ago and there was more attempts). It lasted for few months. It is not mine device so I don't know how it was handled.
2. temporary succes: I copied system/etc/firmware/wlan dir to system/vendor/firmware/wlan. I did it based on how it is in Samsung Galaxy S4 mini with Lineage 16. It worked. After restart I had to swith off and on the airplane mode to set MAC. After few attempts it was gone. No able to reproduce to set the MAC.
I am not Linux expert

Thank you very much, install your rom on my TB2-X30F and it goes very well, the only drawback that I present is that the wifi is very slow but the rom is excellent, thank you very much for your work.

After few day i find out solution how to install custom ROM to my Lenovo tablet. I think its first guide how to do it because every other guides were for TB2-X30F but not for TB2-X30L.
Installation guide:
FILES TO DOWNLOAD:
ALL FILES: https:// drive.google.com/drive/folders/1heVQAryphuXNVt5k-HsUhfRrVr9MV34D
ALL LINKS WORK ! JUST DELETE THE SPACE BEFORE drive.google.com...
1) On the tablet, at Settings, you must activate on the Developer Options the Bootloader Unlock (OEM unlocking) and USB debugging. Uncheck Verify apps over USB.
How to unlock Developer: https: //youtu.be/g5wkFAWDsg0
2) Download these files directly to your Android device, not to SD card.
a) https:// drive.google.com/file/d/1230xFbPA7DOGMhuX59yagEd6w1gNCI4o/view SuperSU-v2.79.zip (for me working only v2.79)
b) https:// drive.google.com/file/d/1vRW5RZixtNVfKbJ7nL2EUetANydfmLNg/view Gapps.zip (open_gapps-arm-7.1-micro-20180721)
b) https:// drive.google.com/file/d/13Mp8guzzOvb17s88IQyez_9reozpTNbw/view boot.img (from LiOS14-UNOFFICIAL-TB2-X30L)
3) Power off completely the tablet.
4) REMOVE SD CARD ! (because for me a part of system was installed on SD card).
5) Make sure you have a good cable so the connection between PC and tablet is perfect.
6) Download https: //drive.google.com/file/d/1XTDYs7kxagj-CXHsH_yyQnMXqYwAP_hK/view ADB and Fastboot to your PC .(here are the drivers too).
7) Unzip the zip archive and run with Administrator the apps from inside of the zip. To all the questions you must to press key Y to grant all the rights it needs.
