I am having a REAL BUGGER of a time with my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon)!
1. It is not recognized by ADB in Fastboot mode.
2. I suspect it shipped wit a vendor ROM, and I'm trying to flash latest Official MIUI Global Dev (Marshmallow) ROM, but I keep getting errors in MI Flash (screenshot attached).
3. I want to Flash TWRP, BUT ADB isn't working, AND I cannot get to the download page for the cracked bootloader.
4. Seriously considering Resurrection Remix ROM, instead, but most of the above issues still apply.
I am NOT new to custom recoveries, flashing ROMS, ADB etc, BUT I am dealing with a new PC (Windows 10 Home, 64 bit, like my old (dead) laptop), and I'm new to this device.
PLEASE HELP. (Quite frustrated)
Fastboot won't recognize adb commands you have to use fastboot.
What you can try is booting into emergency download mode and using my flash to flash it from there. I think it's " adb reboot edl" while the device is on with USB debugging or using the mi updater app ( tap the three dots I think).
I think that this is not the correct section for your question, and i dont know the procedure that you follow but try to follow this procedure:
-Connect the phone at pc with USB cable
-Make sure that debug mode and OEM unlock was abilitate in dev settings
-Copy twrp.img in adb folder
-Shut down the phone and press power botton and - vol buttons for enter in fastboot mode
-Run this commands by terminal open in adb folder
fastboot devices
-If fastboot recognize correctly the device run this command
fastboot fash recovery nameoftwrp.img
-After reboot the device with this command
fastboot reboot
When the phone reboot press immediatily vol + for enter in twrp
Good luck
GOT IT! FINALLY!
-I finally got ADB to connect, and was able to enter EDL through ADB.
-Re-downloaded ROM from web.
-Re-extracted.
-FLASHED SUCCESSFULLY!
-SETUP COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY!
-YAY!
(I think the original download was corrupted, somehow.)

when i tried to flash TWRP - i was stuck in the boot loader warning screen. i am still able to got recovery but it is not being detected can you help me with this?
Normal TWRP has known problems...
You can try flashing Squid TWRP (https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...wrp-squid-twrp-recovery-moto-e-lte-t3137649): is a unbloated and optimized twrp for our device.
This situation has appened to me and i resolved by installing that TWRP.

From the video you posted before i assuming you have already installed motorola driver and fastboot or mfastboot.
Here are the steps:
0- Download SQUID TWRP and place it in e.g. C:\ (last version is twrp-surnia-3.2.1-r1.img);
1- Shut down your phone;
2- Press Power Button + Vol Up until you see bootloader screen;
3- Now connect your phone to PC;
4- On PC, open a commad window pront (Start -> "cmd" on research bar, then enter);
5- Cmd prompt;
6- Type "fastboot devices". It should show a serial number: PC has recognized your device;
8- Then type "fastboot flash recovery C:\twrp-surnia-3.2.1-r1.img" last parameter is the path where you placed recovery so change it if you have choosen another path;
9- Wait for 3-4 seconds until the prompt shows something similar to "complete" or "success";
10- Type "fastboot poweroff" and your device shuts down.
Now you have installed Twrp Recovery, if you want access it, repeat steps 1-2 and select recovery from bootloader menu.
If you want install a custom rom i suggest SlimRoms : follow the instructions to download and install this rom.

it did not worked i think i hard bricked it
No it not hard bricked.you just need to flash the stock rom.and then it start working.
I'm running into issues with my Compact X. Current situation:
- Omni 8.1 rom installed, but doesn't boot. Stuck on Sony logo.
- TRWP 3.3
- Rooted
- When in fastboot mode (vol up + connect usb cable) the device manager shows: Android Device > Sony Fastboot Interface.
- Windows 10 running in "Test mode"
- adb & fastboot v1.4.3
ADB does not recognize my device when the device is in fastboot mode. When it's in recovery mode the command 'adb devices' shows me the device listed. I can then reboot in fastboot mode, but then the device isn't listed anymore. I'm not sure what happened because a couple of hours ago I installed TWRP using fastboot.
I'm trying to get this thing up and running again, but not being able to flash anything via fastboot complicates things. Any idea's what could be the culprit?
Download official Android drivers by Google and force Install them (search: Force Install Windows drivers" anywhere preferably YouTube

Thank you for your reply. As far as I know the official drivers were already installed. Because at first my device did show up listed when using the command 'adb devices' and I successfully flashed TWRP recovery. But to be sure I repeated the process:
- Connected my phone in fastboot mode (vol up + connect usb cable). The blue led lights up.
- Go to the device manager, right click on 'Android ADB interface' device and manually install the driver via 'Have disk'.
- The driver installs with no errors.
But still my phone is not listed and I cannot flash anything.
When the phone is in recovery mode it is listed using the 'adb devices' command. But when I'm trying to flash something I get the message <waiting for device> .
Ok, I restored my computer to a point before I started messing with my phone. After installing the official drivers my phone is still not listed (adb devices), but this time flashing did work. I managed to flash the AOSP 8.1 image. My phone is up and running again!
can anyone pls help with how to root the Lenovo TB-x306f
i already unlocked the bootloader but that's as far as i was able to go with it.
i want to also like to install a recovery to flash the evolutionx rom if someone can pls help me and others that needs the same help.
GOD BLESS
I second that. There's nothing out there.
What I tried was to download the original ROM patch the boot.img with magical, replace in LMSA download folder and start a rescue. Didn't help. Got boot loop.
Ok, maybe a bit more details on what I tried already:
1. Enabled developer options. Good.
2. OEM unlocked. ADB connected. Good.
3. Boot to bootloader working. Good.
4. fastboot not listing the device after fastboot devices. Not good.
5. Googling around, found an universal root method with Magisk. Good.
6. Donwloaded, installed and ran RSA (Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant). Connected to device. Good.
7. Entered Rescue and using that downloaded the original ROM. Good.
C:\ProgramData\LMSA\Download\RomFiles\TB_X306F_S100134_210120_BMP
8. Copied boot.img to device, installed MagiskManager, patched image with magisk, downloaded the image to PC, replaced the original boot image with the patched one. Good.
9. Started the Rescue procedure in RSA. Rom flased. Good.
10. Bootloop. Bad.
No idea why would that not work, any help, pointers, ideas appreciated.
EDIT: There's a new ROM version now: TB_X306F_S100152_210205_BMP
For a preface, I have the same Tablet as OP. I tried to unlock the bootloader, following seemingly every guide out there but, no success so far. I've enabled debugging, activated OEM unlock and, adb detects my device but, after I send it to fastboot (adb reboot bootloader), no more commands work. I've updated the driver in Manager as one guide suggested but, still nothing.
I used command (fastboot OEM unlock) to continue but nothing. What am I doing wrong?
So just a tip for those that are looking for a guide to do a complete bootloader unlock for TB-X306F, there isn't one. I found a bunch of different ways to go about unlocking the bootloader from different Lenovo devices. First thing is that you need Minimal ABD Fastboot v1.4.3 if Platform Tools or LeTools doesn't work. Use CMD with admin rights, not PowerShell.
Everything else to unlock it is the same from all the guides out there. Make sure to use "fastboot flashing unlock" when unlocking instead of "fastboot oem unlock" or "fastboot oem unlock-go" if they dont work.
Second tip is for root when installing the Magisk patched boot image. While you're getting the boot.img, make sure to also grab the vbmeta.img from the ROM folder and place it in the Minimal ADB Fastboot folder where you will be using CMD. Do all the steps to get the patched boot image. Once you got the boot.img patched, enter fastboot then enter the command "fastboot --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img" This will disable verification needed to boot correctly. After that, enter the command "fastboot flash boot <name of .img>" like normal to flash the patched boot.img from magisk. Then fastboot reboot.
This is what I did to get my TB-X306F unlocked and rooted. YMMV.

I apologize for asking for so much help on this.
I too would very much care to see a video of the process but, I have no problem trying it first hand to myself. This tablet is just weird. It can be detected but, as soon as I boot into fastboot, it can't pick it up anymore even though, I had grabbed all of the recommended tools so far such as the fast Boot and the bundle.
A detailed guide would be good enough too
Following @doink_doink 's post (and some bootloops after...) I finally managed to root my Lenovo M10 HD 2 gen (TB-X306X) with magisk. I'll attempt to write a simple guide for who's still interested with rooting this kind of devices since there's not much literature online.
Rooting Lenovo M10 X306X (should also work for other models)
I am by no means held responsible for eventual damage you can inflict on your device, follow the underlying steps of your own accord.
Desktop Tools:
Minimal ADB and Fastboot
Lenovo Rescue Smart Assistant (LRSA from now on)
MTK (Mediatek) Preload Drivers (If your device isn't listed in fastboot)
Mobile Tools:
Magisk Manager App
Steps:
1 - From LRSA click on "Rescue" Tab
2 - Select the model of your tablet and then download
3 - From "Downloads" in the top right corner of the LRSA, click on "Open" to go into the LRSA download folder
4 - Connect your device and set it into USB Debugging and File Transfer
5 - Copy boot.img from LRSA download folder into the device's download folder
6 - Run Magisk Manager App on your device
7 - From Magisk Manager App choose "Install" on the right side of Magisk
8 - Choose the only option "Select and patch a file"
9 - Choose the boot.img you previously copied into the device's download folder
10 - Copy the new file "patched_boot.img" or similar name to the folder where Minimal ADB and Fastboot was installed
11 - Copy the file vbmeta.img from LRSA download folder to Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder
12 - From your device's settings enable developer options and enable OEM Unlock
13 - Execute a cmd session with administrator privileges
14 - Execute in the cmd: adb reboot bootloader (if everything went right the device should reboot in fastboot mode)
15 - Execute in the cmd: fastboot flashing unlock
16 - Execute in the cmd: fastboot --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
17 - Execute in the cmd: fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
18 - Execute in the cmd: fastboot reboot
The device should correctly reboot and everything should be good to go now.
If something bad happens, like a bootloop or something, turn off the device and use the LRSA to rescue your device.
I don't get around to checking my email as often as I used to so I just now got around to seeing this but, I will try this after I get home from work in 10 hours plus time. If I can get this to successfully work, I will be flat out amazed. I had gotten to the point where I had just given up any and all hope that I would get it to work.

I'm currently experiencing the same issue. I have done everything, followed every step provided by Chairos and it wont surpass beyond the <Waiting for device> message. I just got this device today for a fair price, hoping I could root the device, and typical me forgot to research if it was officially compatible with TWRP.

Make sure you have the latest MTK usb drivers.
Hello Everyone,
I apologize for the delay but I didn't get notified of your replies.
I also got the waiting for device problem, but as @Yahoo Mike says, it's the MTK USB drivers that are used to communicate with the device in fastboot mode. Latest drivers should do.
Let me know if you're still experiencing the problem after installing the latest MTK drivers, since it depends on which motherboard the tablet has but all models should use mediatek.
Worked like a charm! Thanks.
Can anyone please confirm if there is a TWRP even unofficial IMG out there? And if any kind soul could share the file too I would be so grateful thanks
worked beautifully ...
just the installation of the latest MTK drivers is not very typical. however, you can follow this guide to install MTKL drivers and disable the driver signature enforcement

I received yesterday my TB-X306X, with Android 10 and with software version S100184_210325_BMP. First thing to do was to unlock and root the tablet, without any issue, thanks to clear indications found on this thread.
Has anybody been able to find working TWRP for this tablet ?
Hi!
I'm still on my way ro root my Samsung Tab SM-T725, after upgrading to Android 11. Before Android 9 was on the device, succesfully rooted via Magisk. Updating and keeping the root status didn't work properly, the flashing process in Odin failed. Therfefore I had to flash the latest stock recovery, successfully. So now I have Android 11 on my device but no root. The bootloader is open and USB debugging enabled.
I tried the method described here. But the flashing in Odin failed again. So now I try to follow the instructions on the Magisk website. If I get everything right a processed recovery.img has to be flashed via ADB/Fastboot. That's new to me and I have questions.
- Is fastboot and download/recovery mode the same? Booting to the recovery and following "reboot to bootloader" leads to the turquois "Downloading" window. The same occurs when prompting "ADB reboot fastboot" e. g. Again the mentioned Downloading window shows up, nothing (special) with fastboot. Is that correct?
- Will therefore all fastboot commands not work? And only ADB is possible on my tablet? Is that common for Samsung devices?
- Can the flashing of the patched recovery.img (for Magisk) be done with ADB as well? Instructions always mention fastboot.
- My device doesn't show up in ADB when being in recovery mode. In normal mode it is listed when entering "ADB devices". Trying again in recovery mode the list stays empty - and all other commands have no effect. Current Samsung and Google USB drivers are installed. How could that be solved? Without ADB (perhaps fastbood) running in download mode I shouldn't be able to flash (and root the device) as planned.
I hope I described everything properly. I'm not that Android expert - but successfully managed to root a couple of devices over the years.
Samsung devices dont know of Fastboot mode. But you can run them in either Recovery or Odin / Download mode or Normal mode.
Running Samsung devices in Download mode you can flash ROM or update system in the Android device. When the Samsung device has entered Download mode, the device will boot from external sources. You can also make the stock ROM replaced in Download mode.
ADB mode is the Normal mode.
In Recovery mode ADB - with some exceptions - isn't working
Because your device is a Samsung one the Google USB drivers are senseless. Remove them to avoid conflicts.
Thanks for the quick and helpful response!
That makes clear why the tablet didn't show up in ADB. And that all rooting efforts for Samsung devices via that way should be obsolete. Strange enough that Magisk doesn't mention this on their instruction site.
So I'll have to try on with flashing a patched AP via Odin - and hope for a solution for my fail-problem.
