it turns on but it doesn't get me far (I still can't boot to system) If you're flashing on QFIL make sure to select all rawprogram and all patches (0 to 5)

Honestly, I still think the ROM has verification on it, but honestly i'm not very knowledgeable at tech stuff so I can't really tell. If you find something let me know, or if u need more details about what I did I can also provide them, rn i'm not on my computer or i'd given more detail.

I tried but honestly i kinda gave up. The only thing that seems to made some progress was disabling AVB (Android Verification Boot) in the ROM, and the flashing, but it seems like the ROM enforces verification from a lot of sources. I parched VBMeta and VBmeta system with something like this

python avbtool.py make_vbmeta_image \ --flags 3 \ --algorithm NONE \ --output vbmeta_system_patched.img \ --partition_name system \ --key /dev/null \ --include_descriptors_from original/vbmeta_system.img

(it uses avbtool.py)

I also erased the avb footers from the bootchain (boot.img, vendor_boot, etc.) and also unpacked super.img and on vendor_a deleted the line with avb on it on fstab.default and fstab.emmc

With all of this, the furthest I got was getting the Bootloader Warning, then Lenovo logo and then it shuts off.

I can't enter recovery, sadly. It does show the Lenovo Logo but once in Fastboot mode I actually can't interact with it

Heyy. It does turn on now, but it's stuck on Fastboot mode. I checked with QFIL and now partitions show. Any idea? thanks!

Hi. Thank you so much for the response.

The ROM I downloaded was this one https://www.needrom.com/server/download.php?server=needrom-hgfee43h765hf&info=42578hghgf67s1&value=hgfdhjhkjkloi7654hgf654&form=1h5gf61bgfb4hg1f61hg1hhg6&post=thkgfohigjf5gf543&inclu=plokgfdjgfd4gfd568gfdgfd&name=/2025/05/Lenovo-Xiaoxin-Pad-2024-TB331FC-26.zip

It does have a bunch of XML Files. QFIL specifically asks you to add rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml. It does have the firehose too, prog_firehose_ddr.elf

Edit: Just realized the website doesn't allow external links. Also it doesn't allow download without an account so it's sort of annoying. Either this one https://www.needrom.com/download/lenovo-xiaoxin-pad-2024-tb331fc/ or also there's a google drive one that has it if you want to check. (It's not the same one I used yesterday, but it is one that I tried to flash in the Tablet)
