I can say that my Diamond jailbreak the PS3 at first boot "everytime".
I use HERMES V4 and OPEN MANAGER 2.1
The solution that I found is simple (with XDAndroid 2.2 RC 2.1 + System RC 2.2).
The first time:
-check to have replace zImage
-check to have put modules-2.6.27.46-01162-g741ab49-dirty.tar.gz in the directory of xdandroid (delete the old modules)
-put psfreedom.ko in the root of memory
-download payload from attachment
-put payload_hermesV4.bin in the root of memory
-overclock the phone (in startup.txt add inside "set cmdline": acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=680000) or download my STARTUP.TXT from attachment (only DIAM100)
-edit "froyo.user.conf" in the conf directory and replace the section "# custom shell commands, these commands run last" with this:
# custom shell commands, these commands run last
custom_shells{
rm -f /sdcard/fsck*.rec
echo ""
echo ""
echo "*************************************"
echo "*************************************"
echo "******D i s c o n n e c t ****** U S B ******"
echo "*************************************"
echo "*************************************"
echo ""
echo ""
sleep 3
insmod /sdcard/psfreedom.ko
sleep 2
echo "**********************************"
echo "**********************************"
echo "********P a y l o a d ****************"
echo "**********************************"
echo "**********************************"
cat /sdcard/payload_hermesV4.bin > /proc/psfreedom/payload
}
or download my conf file from attachment and put the file in the conf directory (only DIAM100)
-launch haret with USB connected to PC
-disconnect cable when the message "Disconnect USB from PC" is display
-put the phone to airplane mode
-install Advanced Task Killer Free (ATK)
-launch ATK
-change setting and set security to LOW (kill more application)
-kill all application (after I have 50Mb free)
-connect to PS3
jailbreak in normal way
The next time you just:
-launch haret with USB connected to PC
-disconnect cable when the message "Disconnect USB from PC" is display
-launch ATK and kill all application
-connect PS3
jailbreak in normal way
I hope this can help everyone who jailbreak with Diamond
UPDATE(only for DIAM100):
The STARTUP.TXT attached contains my path.
Change the name of the directory: "rel_path=your directory"
EXAMPLE: "rel_path=andboot"
HELP1:
If you don't have 50 Mb of free memory from ATK try:
-remove all widget from all the android desktop
-set as background of the desktop a simple color (not an image)
-disable the animation of the video (in the configuration of android you can find video option)
-etc... (all other simple procedure to free more memory)
HELP2:
If you don't find where to set security level LOW:
-open ATK
-press HOME button
-press Setting
-press Security Level
-select Low
-press BACK button (turn back)
-press BACK button (turn back)
-KILL selected apps
I have more than 50Mb free after this operation.

All-In-One Solution: PSFreedom 3.41 v1.3.1 PL3 Hermes v4b with PSN Patch
HTC_Diamond_PSFreedom_3.41_v1.3.1_Hermes_V4b_PSN_Patch.rar
Download this file and decompress it on your root.This file contains already ALL that you need.(include HermesV4)
It is ready for Diam100.
Change the startup.txt file if you have other phone.
NB: If you change the startup.txt file remember to edit it to set rel_path=xdandroid
Last payload:
For the last payload visit the HTC HERO psfreedom wiki page
Download the payload that you want and then change the conf file to load it (replace payload_hermesV4.bin with the name of the new payload)
Good day.
Works great!
Great solution, i tried a similar procedure (by me) but yours is great!
Now I've only the same problem as described in other post.
When i try to load backup of my game (original) from an external disk (2,5"), it returns always on xmb and not load nothing.
Any idea?
worked first time for me too, i've got psfreedom auto loading in the init file, so all you have todo is kill apps and jail break.
[one thing left to try is set ATK to autoload and set it to aggressive autokill and hopefully all you'll need todo is boot into andriod and jailbreak.] - scratch this bit as auto kill smallest interval is 30 mins
edit: tried a second time and the jailbreak didn't work first time... actually tried several times and then eventually rebooted phone and tried again, worked on second attempt (got unknown usb device on first try)
Ok, now works perfect.
It was an hard disk problem (external 2.5" samsung model 0804h hd 80gb), it is not fully supported.
Now i use another hard disk and it works

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
control the memory free (on ATK)
I have 50Mb and I jailbreak everytime at first boot
I did also:
-in settings/display disable all effect
-in desktop load like background a single color (and not a picture)
-remove ALL the gadget from all the desktop
...
it works great
ATTENTION: Autoload psfreedom.ko
I think that initrd.gz is not the right place where insert the insmod command.
Try to edit "froyo.user.conf" in the conf directory and insert in the section # custom shell commands, these commands run last
insmod /sdcard/psfreedom.ko
obviously before the } that end the list of commands...
You must have something like
# custom shell commands, these commands run last
custom_shells{
rm -f /sdcard/fsck*.rec
insmod /sdcard/psfreedom.ko
}
This for two reasons:
1.is more simple to modify (is a plain text file in XDAndroid directories, so you don't need Linux)
2.you load the module "after" the other modules that psfreedom.ko need
Now I am at work, I will try this solution this afternoon... but if someone can test... is simple to modify the conf file.
EDIT:
Ok, it works
You can edit the conf file and then when xdandroid boot you have only to launch ATK and kill all application
@bastard: You're spreading FUD. PSF module does not depend on any module which is loaded in conjunction with XDandroid. Why are you claiming this?
And you consider booting a full blown OS (which IS Linux by the way), installing apps and configuring a lot of other stuff more simple than booting another Linux (or just using your main OS if it's Linux compatible) and modify initrd once?
Anyway, have a good day!

PSfreedom depend on the modules that you load on boot.
In particolary g_android.ko that enable debugging via USB
This is why on the psfreedom procedure you find to "copy" the modules in xdandroid directory
Now, i don't know if you have to load before or after...
But the psfreedom procedure say to load psfreedom.ko in terminal so I think this is the right order:
1.modules
2.psfreedom.ko
in this way it work... in the other... i don't know

I didn't say this...
I think (and wrote) that is "more simple" to modify a text file (the conf file) directly on phone rather than copy initrd.gz, boot to Linux, expand initrd.gz, edit init file, recompile to initrd.gz and then put it again on phone ONLY to autoload psfreedom on startup... (and allways do the rest of stuff)
Then I think (and wrote) that to have the order 1.modules 2.psfreedom.ko
modify the conf is better than modify initrd.gz
I don't understand why you have to enter into a debate...
if you don't like my procedure... use another.
Anyway, have a good day!
2 issues.
-overclock the phone (in startup.txt put the line acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=700000)
I can't put 700000, the phone crash when I start Android, I can put 680000, but no more.
-change setting and set security to LOW (kill more application)
I don't understand this, how can I change this setting?
I've tried the trick and it works like before for me, not better...

I use 700000 and works fine for me, but I think it's normal... on the xdandroid you can find:
Overclocking
acpuclock.oc_freq_khz=XXXXXX ( i personally use 600000-640000 )
but it very unstable if you try to get higher than 650000-700000
Use the value that works for you.

I have more than 50Mb free
With this I jailbreak every time at first time.
Have you change the phone to airplane mode? It use less cpu...
Yeah.
I have done the security think and now yes, it always works, at the moment, I've tried twice, but works both.
Thanks for the trick, you are my hero!!
By the way, I am spanish, it's possible that I wrote some word or sentence incorrectly, but I try do it well ^^
could someone upload these modified files? i can't find in my phone,thanks
I did everything you said but still it doesnt run every time on first boot it takes like 5 to 10 times to boot
any new version psfreedom for openmanager v1.13？
That would be awesome
agreed, I really want no bluray disc needed.
Also with the hermes payload, they will eventually create some custom firmware, no more psfreedom!
Thank you for opening this thread! But...
I did everything u recommended but still receiving the "unknown USB device connected". So, the same problem persists: It only works after the first boot!
Any other suggestions so we can solve the diamond problem once for all?
PS: PS3 jailbreak USBs are not available in my country so i have to count on the diamond jailbreak
UPDATE 1: After switching to Windows mobile--->Reconnect to PC in active sync mode--->Disconnect when the message appears--->Connect to PS3 and apply Jailbreak! It REALLY WORKS!
Do Note that using HTC Diamond is tricky when it comes to Jailbreaking the PS3 since it's not 100% compatible So take real care of the time between the power and eject buttons: YOU SHOULD WAIT LIKE 1/2 A SECOND TO PRESS THE EJECT AFTER THE POWER & IT WILL WORK WITH A RATE OF 1 OVER 2
UPDATE 2 : After Rebooting the phone from Win Mobile to Android (While connected to PC) if the JB doesn't work with the error "Unknown USB device connected", Just shut down the phone, reboot in win mobile reconnect to PC and boot back to Android then try again it should work!
Hope this helps!
Recheck procedure

I reply to you, but it's ok for everyone who have some troubles:
-you don't need to reboot to windows mobile
-you don't need to reboot the phone
If you have "unknown USB device connected" simply retry the jailbreak (leave the phone connect to PS3).
NOW
For my procedure...
It works ALLWAYS at first boot (not AFTER first boot)
If you have some problem check all the step, particolary:
-overclock (700000 or 680000 works fine, try which one works for you)
-phone in airplane mode
-security level LOW in ATK
-memory after kill all the application MUST be more than 50Mb
If you don't have this value of free memory try:
-remove all widget from all the android desktop
-set as background of the desktop a simple color (not an image)
-disable the animation of the video (in the configuration of android you can find video option)
-etc... (all other simple procedure to free more memory)
I wrote this guide becouse I NEVER try two time to jailbreak my PS3 after this trick... NEVER
So, eventually you can try different timing from press Power button and Eject button, but the REAL problem is the free memory and the speed of Diamond.
So I suggest:
- re-check the speed of overclock (try 680000 maybe is more stable)
- re-check alll the step of my guide
- re-check this list of trick to free more memory
I hope to help everyone with DIAMOND (DIAM100)

It is WORKING with a 99% rate!
1. The Overclocking to 7,000 is working at its best.
2. I am not using ATK.
3. Phone in airplane mode is a must, i agree.
4. Disabling the animation is a must also.
5. I need to boot in WinMobile so i can use my phone normally...
6. I really noticed that one of the most important points is: the lapse of time between the Power & Eject buttons. It has to be larger than other devices at 1/2 sec. aprox. (as compared to HTC HD2 or others...)

Try to use ATK and it will work with 100% rate!
I repeat that timing between power and eject is less important...
Try ATK and then you never try two time!!!
(ATK free that you can download free on the internet. You can put the apk directly on xdandroid directory and it autoinstall )

Try deleting Backup Manager and reinstalling. I had the same problem and that worked for me. Good luck.
There are several modes that Wave bootloader supports for certain purposes. The normal mode and low power mode just start the Nucleus kernel. I'm also pretty sure everybody knows what a DOWNLOAD MODE is (one with the red letters, but if initiated from Bada it can also display a download picture) that you use to change the firmware installed in the phone OneNAND. There is, however, another interesting mode that bootloader executes if something dies - it's an UPLOAD MODE that looks a bit similar to download mode (text written with yellow letters). There is a different set of commands that bootloader accepts when in this state and there should be some tool able to communicate with the phone. The mode is not really wave specific as SBL bootloader for Galaxy does also implement it.
Does anybody have information about the mode itself or the tool for that? I can provide some more details about commands if necessary.
I saw this also on U700.
But no idea how to use nor which Tools have access...
Best Regards
Maybe you can get little information with this ??
http://sourceforge.net/projects/usbsnoop/
And this one program maybe you can ask developer Przemeksis624 [bada-world.pl] Poland
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=60YZ93Z6
Thanks, but these are just random links... having nothing to do with what I'm asking
MemSetUpload
Set Phone to Upload mode
and
SetAutoUpload
SetAutoUpload
Commands found in apps_compressed...
Maybe if WinComm needs inital AT Command...
AT+WINCOMM (UE AWAKE Info)

I suggest tweeting @samfirmware
He has an insider at samsung (so he can get FW's and such) so maybe he can provide you with a tool
Code:
> cmd="[B]SaveDebugToFile on[/B]"
EXCEPTION > Save Debug Message To File is On!
Any news about Upload Mode?
I'll try few Dev Commands and see what happens...
Best Regards
Please try to look for that "Debug File" and send it to me if you can.
Upload Mode can be easily accessed by modifying bTerm, but I'm too lazy to do it in next days.

I'm planning to implement that. My phone in this mode is not recognized as an USB device, unfortunately. Maybe there's some additional configuration that I'm not aware. Do you see a modem port after you connect the phone in upload mode?

I will check this.
I can remember that I have this also not seen... some user told me where to look.
Maybe its not Modem... check where other COM Port devices...
Maybe Multiloader see Port...
I'll report if I have Upload Mode...

Again wrong... from me.
I can see it under Modem in device manager...
Multiloader shows me 2 Ports... same like in "normal mode"
1 for modem
second is my Diag Port... for Debug

During Multiloader Flash it is not more "mandatory"... for me.
So sometime I take Low, sometimes Mid..
I don't know what actually I've taken.
But as I often use WinComm... so I enter manually:
*#33284*#
I use High...
Second thing, depend on Firmware... maybe go in handset to USB blabla... set Debug. Maybe mandatory in bada 2.0 Firmware...
Best Regards
OK. It seems I'm able to communicate and receive acknowledgements. Later I'll try to find out what params I need to pass to the dataxfer command to retrieve something useful.
I've made a quick modification to bterm with new upload command.
It takes two addresses as arguments that are ranges of mapped memory to be dumped.
Bootloader also implements some special values:
- 1EEEFFC 1EEEFFF returns size of the flash dump (FSR_BML_GetDumpSize)
- 1FFFFFC 1FFFFFF returns 3 little-endian values: [BuildInfoAddr] 0x12345678 0xA0000000
- 3FFFFFC 3FFFFFF executes UploadReset
Nice this sounds great.
Maybe we can also handle DEV Command ...
Memcpy address length
In every situation to see what is in RAM stored...
In U700 I can do this...
In S8500 failed...
I know bterm can this. But it seems only once at start.
Thanx for research.
Best Regards
In upload mode you have basically several different options depending on the address. You can read RAM, FTL or FSR dump, CP side RAM and it's a standard functionality so you don't need to install anything in the phone. Works in with any bootloader and apps.
Maybe in combination with these Commands very usefull:
MemSetUpload
(Set Phone to Upload mode)
SetAutoUpload
Thank you.

Because Windows is trashcan and can't properly handle transfering anything through virtual COM USB without hundreds of codelines. bTerm for linux works few times faster and better IMO, if u got some linux installation - try it out, all you need is download sources, use apt-get install gcc (or just install gcc package if you don't have apt-get), browse to sources directory in commandline and type "make", then you can execute bTerm in the same commandline.
I am complete Unix Idiot
In 20 years I have maybe 10 times installed Linux... SUSE...

This is also an reason, why I can't help with Android...

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY NEGATIVE IMPACTS OR CONSEQUENCES ON YOUR PHONE IF YOU SO CHOOSE TO USE THIS GUIDE.
I own the ZTE U950 and had realized that there is very little information (in English) on how to do anything beyond stock for this incredible phone. After hours of research and translation I was able to figure out everything needed to get this phone to a "better" state. Since then I - and other XDA members - have been trying to keep the ZTE U950 alive...
ZTE U950 SPECS
NVIDIA TEGRA 3 (1.3MHz)
1GB RAM
4.3" Display (480x800)
5MP Front Camera/0.3MP Back Camera
Android OS 4.0.4
DRIVERS
Here are the "Join Me" drivers so that your PC can recognize the ZTE U950.
KERNEL
Stock - This is the stock kernel's source file.
Custom - This is a custom kernel for stock ROMs that can be OC'd to 2.5GHz.
ROOT
1) Make sure you have USB Debugging Mode and Unknown Sources checked in your phone Settings.
2) Connect your phone to your PC.
3) Download and open Genotools.
4) The program will open, click the 4th tab (last tab on the right).
5) Ensure that your phone is plugged into your PC.
6) Click the 2nd ROOT button.
7) A popup window will appear, press OK.
8) Your phone will then have a popup window, click the "Restore My Data" option.
9) The phone will restart several times, leave it for a few minutes.
10) This is the odd part... The phone will likely not stop restarting, and when you try to click the unlock key for the screen, it will automatically restart. Disconnect the phone. It should continue to restart.
11) Force the phone off.
12) Restart the phone.
13) If you have SuperUser, you are then rooted. If not, repeat these steps.
ROOT - NEW VERSION #1 (UNTESTED!):
1) Download the file here.
2) The instructions read verbatim are, "1 If your phone is not acquired before the ROOT privileges, we choose 1 root [next line] 2 after enter". Which I assume means click root, then enter...
ROOT - NEW VERSION #2 (UNTESTED!):
1) Download the root kit here made for the ZTE U950 (it uses the Chinese recovery), and extract to your desktop.
2) On your phone, go into Settings and enable USB Debugging under Developer options.
3) Connect the phone to your PC (Windows OS should fail to recognize the device).
4) Run either DrvInst_x64.exe or DrvInst_x86.exe. If you are unsure what you have, run both, the wrong one will fail with an error message.
5) After installation, unplug and replug your phone.
6) Go into Device Manager. You should be able to see a "ZTE TD Handset ADB Interface" under the "Android Phone" section. If you don't, reinstall the drivers again.
7). To root, simply run the U950_Root.bat file, and follow the instructions.
RECOVERY (CWM/TWRP)
1) Download the Chinese CWM or English TWRP recovery.img and place it into the root folder of your external SD card.
2) Download a terminal emulator. (If you are unable to download one, use the APP TRICKS described near the bottom to install a terminal emulator onto your phone.)
3) Open the terminal emulator.
4) Type in "su" then hit the return button.
5) Now type in the following:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/SOS
(and press the return button)
6) There should be a few lines beginning with something like 14052 or 14272, if not, then the above input was not typed correctly. If so, the recovery should now be installed.
GET INTO RECOVERY
1) Turn the phone off.
2) Hold the Power button + Volume Down button. When the ZTE logo comes up, count two seconds and then let go of the buttons.
3) The phone will enter into recovery. Use the Volume rockers for up and down and the power button to choose (if on CWM), or simply touch the buttons (if on TWRP).
4) I will describe the standard processes here if using CWM - the menus are top-to-bottom on the phone, which are written left-to-right here:
The Main Menu:
[*] Reboot system now
[*] Select zip to flash/install
[*] Wipe data
[*] Wipe cache
[*] Backup and restore
[*] Flash memory/Format
[*] Advanced setting
[*] Turn off phone
The Zip Menu:
[*] Install from zip
[*] Install from internal
Wipe Date:
[*] Confirm wipe data
[*] Do not wipe data
Wipe Cache:
[*] Confirm wipe cache
[*] Do not wipe cache
Backup and Restore:
[*] Backup
[*] Restore

We did not create the original version of this unofficial Cyanogenmod port, but the original had many issues and was not maintained after its initial release. All the major problems have been worked out in our HeatSka edition.
The ROM was initially CM10 (4.1.2), but it has been mixed with files that list it as 4.2.2 (CM10.1) under the information section. In either case, it is Jelly Bean! Aside from the fixes we have implemented, there are also numerous tweaks and mods for UI speed, network speed, battery consumption, app installs, and much more. There is almost no theming, just enough to know that this is our enhanced (and better) variation.
The only known issue that may arise is CPU throttling. We have included an app called, "LGP880 Booster". This app will allow a CPU speed boost when turned on, with a temperature threshold to prevent overheating. If you wish to save battery, only enable this app when playing a game or using CPU-intensive apps.
DOWNLOAD: CM10.1/2 - HeatSka
FLASH A ROM
1) Download a ROM.
2) Place the ROM in the root of the phone's SD card.
3) Enter into recovery.
4) Wipe data.
5) Wipe cache.
NOTE: Wipe data and cache are the Factory Reset button in TWRP.
6) Follow the menus to get to the ROM in the SD card.
7) Click the power button to choose the ZIP if on CWM (or just push the designated button on TWRP).
8) The ROM is being flashed.
9) Follow the left arrow (the last selection) on the menus to get back to the main menu.
10) Choose the first option on the main menu to reboot on CWM (or click Reboot followed by System in TWRP).
NOTE I: The ROM will probably be in Chinese. Find the Settings icon and click it. Go down to the Language & Input setting and click it (there is a capital "A" next to it). Click the top setting and choose the desired language.
NOTE II: There may not be an English keyboard available, so download this 4.2 keyboard ZIP file and flash it in recovery.
INSTALL GOOGLE PLAY
1) Download and install a file explorer like ES Explorer (free) or Root Explorer (paid). (If the phone is unable to download a file explorer, use the APP TRICKS described near the bottom to install one onto the phone.)
2) Download and take the three files from the RAR file for Google Play and place them in a folder on the phone that can easily be reached with a file explorer.
3) Open up a file explorer.
4) Move the three files to the "/System/App" folder on the phone.
5) Give the three files each the same permissions (Read for all three groups, and Write for User).
6) Restart the phone and Google Play should now be installed.
Notes: a) There are cases where two Google Play store icons may appear. They should both work and not cause problems.
b) If the store does not show, redo the process above.
c) This trick does seem to work on other Android devices as I have successfully done this on a Galaxy Note N7000.
INSTALL FACTORY ROM
1) Download a Factory ROM from above and place the "update.zip" file in the root of your external SD card.
2) Go to Settings.
3) Go down to About Phone and click that.
4) Click on System Updates.
5) Remove the check mark.
6) Click OK.
7) The phone should restore to whichever factory update file was used.
APN FIX (MOBILE DATA FIX)
If your mobile data is not working then use this method to fix your APN:
1) Revert to stock ROM (or any custom ROM where mobile data does work).
2) Download and open a file explorer like Root Explorer or ES Explorer.
3) Go to /system/etc
4) Copy "apns-conf.xml".
5) Go to /sdcard/
6) Paste "apns-conf.xml".
7) Flash ROM.
8) Download a file explorer and open it.
9) Copy "apns-conf.xml".
10) Go to /system/etc
11) Paste "apns-conf.xml" (overwriting the existing file).
12) Reboot the phone.
13) Mobile data should now work.
GAME SUPPORT FOR ZTE U950 (WORKS ONLY FOR U950V1.0.0B02)
Note: I have not tested this. Apparently the first firmware version of this phone is not recognized by Google Play for certain Tegra games. If this occurs, try the following method.
1) Make a backup of the System folder. (It is easier to make a Backup of the entire ROM in recovery...)
2) Insert the build.prop file from this file.
3) Clear the Data for Google Play store (Settings > Apps > Google Play > Clear Data).
4) Reboot the phone.
5) When opening Google Play it should make give their agreement again. If it doesn't, then Data has not been cleared.
6) The rows modified in the build prop is as follows:
Desire ro.product.model = X
HTC ro.product.brand =
Desire ro.product.name = X
Desire ro.product.device = X
...
HTC ro.product.manufacturer =
AGAIN, I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS SO USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
APP SUPPORT FOR ZTE U950
Note: Some apps will throw package errors after downloaded and then will not install. This method will help a lot of these errors from occurring. It doesn't work for all, but it will for some [tested with Dead Trigger 2].
1) Download this file.
2) Use a file explorer like ES Explorer (free) or Root Explorer (paid) and put com.google.android.maps.xml in /system/etc/permissions
3) Put com.google.android.maps.jar in /system/framework
4) Reboot the phone and now apps should install without issue.
DEAD TRIGGER 1
1) Enable graphics details to High in Setup/Others.
2) Exit the game.
3) Use a file explorer like ES Explorer (free) or Root Explorer (paid) and go to /data/data/com.madfingergames.deadtrigger/shared_prefs/
4) Edit the com.madfingergames.deadtrigger.xml file.
5) Change <int name=”UnityGraphicsQuality” value=”1″ /> to <int name=”UnityGraphicsQuality” value=”2″ />
6) Change <int name=”OptionsGraphicDetail” value=”2″ /> to <int name=”OptionsGraphicDetail” value=”3″ />
7) Save the com.madfingergames.deadtrigger.xml file.
8) Remove all write permission on User, Group and Other for the com.madfingergames.deadtrigger.xml file.
9) Delete the com.madfingergames.deadtrigger.xml.bak file.
Note: This technique works on any non-Tegra device.
APP TRICKS
If apps cannot be downloaded normally (from Google Play), this guide will show an alternative method on how to install them:
1) Download the necessary apk file online.
2) Open the 4.2LatinIme.zip with 7zip or WinRAR and delete the keyboard APK (or keep it if not installed yet).
3) While the ZIP is open go into "/Sytem/App" and place in it any APK you want installed.
4) Boot into recovery.
5) Flash the ZIP file.
6) Reboot and the app(s) should be installed.
Note: I have noticed that certain apps do not flash properly so an alternative APK needs to be downloaded. However, once you have the right apps to install Google Play, you should be able to download any apps from the store.
HARDWARE FIXES BY SKA
NOTE: Always work without the battery attached to the phone.
SIM Card No Longer Works
INFO: There is a diode which provides voltage to the SIM card. Somehow it has become loose, which disallows current to the SIM. Thus, the baseband cannot recognize the SIM card any longer.
FIX: The easiest way to fix and check something is to "re-flow" the PCB (printed circuit board). The modem soldering must be re-flowed in order to reconnect the loose diode and re-allow voltage back to the SIM card.
Touchscreen Not Displaying
Open up your phone. If you don't know how, then you won't be able to continue...
There are three connectors on the left soc side. Check the upper connector near the audio jack and try to seat with a pair of tweezers very gently.
There is a white line on every connector - apart from the battery connector - pull up straight. It must be exactly at the of the beginning of the brown clip when pulled downwards.
MISC
I have successfully paired this phone with a PS3 controller using Sixaxis. This is not unique to my phone as I have verified that there is support within the Kernel for this.
It does seem that Wii controller support can be turned on according to the kernel...
There are no known custom kernels for this phone, however, the incomplete Cyanogenmod ROM available does seem to use its own kernel.
The phone is "stuck" on ICS 4.0.4 with almost every ROM. The incomplete Cyanogenmod ROM upgrades the OS to JB 4.1.2.
The phone is known to have heating issues on different (all?) firmware versions. While these do not seem to attribute to hardware failure, it is an annoyance.
Different firmware versions apparently produce varying levels of GPU performance: The best in GPU performance is U950V1.0.0B14, but this build may produce issues in some games. The worst in GPU performance is U950V1.0.0B18, but it is stable. The U950V1.0.0B22 is stable as well but has better GPU performance than B18. I have found no information on how well the first and last firmware versions perform in terms of GPU.
To disconnect the battery connector you need to place a spudger beneath and lift up. It is the same method used for the connectors of fans, temperature sensors, and the battery in a MacBook Pro 2006/7/8.
Thank you for this Tutorial.

Unfortunately I haven't found anything that would suggest that you can. The best I could do is have one of my friends tell me what each section states, but that may be a long while from now.
The menus I have figured out and listed are the most necessary. The others are just icing I suppose.
Unable to switch it back on
Hi,
first of all, please excuse me if this is not exactly related to this post, but I see there is not much discussion around this device so I figured this would be an okayish place to ask.
I got my ZTE U950 just today, put my SIM and MicroSD cards in it, turned it on, all OK. I played with it for a while, changed the language into English, tried some apps, deleted lots of default installed Chinese apps (such as Baidu, QQ, Baidu maps, etc).
I run Debian on my machine, so this guide wasn't working for me. However, I tried to run Genotools on Wine and followed the first steps, but no pop-up showed in my phone and I decided that probably Wine wasn't forwarding the USB dev properly. The phone kept on working normally for a while, I even recieved a phone call.
Then I turned it off just to switch the SIM back to my old phone and, after that, I haven't been able to switch the ZTE back on again. At first I thought it'd be the battery running out (although it reported 50% left while it was on), but I've had it connected for about 30 minutes now and I still can't turn it on...
Do you guys know if there is something I can try?
Thanks a lot and excuse me again if I posted in the wrong place... (and if I have, could you please point out where should I post it?)
Bernat.
EDIT: Today I woke up, I pressed the power button and... surprise! It just worked!

Do you have the usb-drivers installed ? (doublechek in device manager for windows ) Sometimes Win7-64 or Firewalls block uncertified drivers to install correctly. For 7-64 you can press F8 during early boot and choose "force unsigned drivers" or something simiar. On linux you should go through an Android adb installation howto, to correctly get debuginterface running.
Once you have installed chinese recover you can install some prerooted images from the hungarion or chinese sites.

I just bought ZTE V985 which is also tegra 3 device. Can anyone help how to root it?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
how to root zte v985
someone please tell us how to root zte v985.
3G
Hi guys,
does anybody know if/how it is possible to connect to a 3G network with this terminal? In the specs it says it can only connect to Chinese 3G networks, so I'd like to know whether this is a software or a hardware restriction.
If it's a hardware one, I guess the solution must be pretty complex...
Cheers!

I was able to root my ZTE V985 couple days ago. Download root installation package from:
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=68344&uk=2753639880
1. Install ZTE USB driver first: Goto Settings -Developer options - enable Driver CDROM. Connect your phone to the computer and install driver package from ZTE. 985root.7z package has also ZTE USB driver but it didn't work on my Win 7, so I installed drivers from phone.
2. Turn off CDROM mode and enable USB debugging mode and Unknown sources
3. Unzip 985root.7z file to any folder
4. Run xxxroot.bat and command window appears. Script will stop and ask you to press any key (in Chinese)
5. Check that your phone is connected and press any key. Script will upload files to your phone
6. There will be popup window on your phone. Click Restore my data
7. Phone will then boot up but keep it connected to PC and wait until it is fully booted
8. if there's nothing going on in command window, press any key and command window closes. If your are rooted, you have SuperUser app

Hahaha you silly billy, i know whats happened to you! You got the ZTE U985 instead of the V985. The ZTE U985 only supports TD-SCDMA 3g network which is CHINA only. You should have bought the ZTE V985 which is WCDMA 800/1900/2100 mhz which supports western 3G networks. LMFAO. I feel sorry for you fella.
Where did you buy the v985 ? I only can find offers from 350-400$ and for this pricing I can´t find any real advantages buying a chinese phone , there is also no DualSim,and normally very limited languages ( chinese cwm?),....

I bought it from fastcardtech.com, only 275 USD with free delivery.
From hardware specs point of view this is a really good phone, fast as my Asus TF700T tab with Tegra 3. It also supports WCDMA 900/2100MHz which are the most used 3G frequencies in EU. It does have only English and Chinese languages, but I used MoreLocale 2 to get more choices. More Locale does not change system language (like settings, caller app etc) so those will remain in English, but for example now other apps like Google play, Chrome etc. supports the language you have chosen in MoreLocale.

Dont get it wrong my mate the zte v985 is a beast of a phone + a smart piece of hardware. Only downfall i see is the limited rom/root/customization support since its new (october 2012)
Reasons why you should purchase the zte v985:
1. really supports APP2SD (install apps to external sd so you never run out of space and you dont have to throw away your phone when internal memory of 4GB gets full like most other android phones)
2. quad core cpu + 12 core NVIDIA gpu (theres websites full of games made only for this cpu + gpu)
3. USB OTG (using your superfast cpu and gpu together with usb otg you can turn your phone into an high class gaming system using two usb game controllers playing arcade roms and 3d games ON YOUR PHONE!). This is an awesome feature that not all phones support even some high performance quad core phones dont have this function.
4. 720P HD screen + 1080P HD Playback/Recording
5. Full MHL support (usb to hdmi)
6. Cheapest all round high performance quad core. Awesome price (£190) for a phone compared to other quad core high performance phones e.g galaxy note 2 @ £500
NOTE: if you would like to buy this phone for the price mentioned leave a message with your email or contact me i know a seller in china.
NOTE: Or you could wait another month or two and buy the new mtk 6589 quad core phones such as the UMI X2 which is quad core, DUAL SIM, usb otg, 2GB RAM, 32GB ROM and dirt cheap (£200!!!)
I get my ZTE V985 today through the post, cant wait till i get it!

ANDROID ON INTEL ARCHITECTURE
AboutProject summary
Android on Intel® Architecture (Android-IA) is an open source project based on the*Android Open Source Project*(AOSP). Intel is a contributor to the AOSP and provides code for enabling Android on Intel Architecture platforms. (read more: About A-IA )
this is a thread for installing, exploring, discussing dual boot Win 8-8.1 and Android for XE700T1C, and I have XE700T1C-A01AE which is one of many variants of XE700T1C, in the official site of A-IA only XE700T ( for installation see These instructions )is supported which is a whole different model, the XE700T1C comes with a keyboard dock that transfer it to laptop style, so the installation will be much easier because we don't need USB hub and USB keuboard.
I tried this on my own risk on both Windows 8 and 8.1 preview. so by doing so you accept any risk from this procedure ... be patient and read carefully before you start
Update: XE700T1C-A01US confirmed working ... Thanks to p0k3y...
Update: Also See another great guide by @Adrian DC
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57941649&postcount=134[/COLOR]
Before you Start ...
It is highly recommended that you download and install the latest BIOS firmware from Samsung while you still have windows on the device. The installer requires windows to run, and recent versions provide significant improvements.
Full Back up your PC using the Samsung recovery ( if it is pre installed ) or any back up program. And you should create recovery USB drive
HOW TO MAKE RECOVERY USB DRIVE: ------>>> Microsoft Windows 8 Support
What you need ...
1- USB thumb drive 1 Gb at least.
2- Download the latest build for Samsung XE700T installer from A-IA site ( https://01.org/android-ia/downloads )
3- Download "Image Writer for Windows" from https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer/
4- A space on your PC for Android (more details in the installation)
Preparing the USB thumb drive
1- Back up the content in the USB drive because it will be erased ...
2- Extract Samsung XE700T installer
3- Extract windows image writer tool and run Win32DiskImager.exe
4- Browse for the image you extracted from the Samsung XE700T installer
5- Select your USB drive letter and hit "Write"
6- Done
Installing .....
1- Restart your PC with the USB drive inserted and as soon as it start press "F2" or you can follow the other way which is:
A- swipe from right and enter settings from the charm bar and choose "change PC settings
B- go to general and scroll down to advance start up and press restart now
C- after restart choose "Troubleshoot"
D- then "Advance options"
E- then "UEFI firmware"
F- then "Settings"
2- After going into settings ... go to " Boot " and set " Secure boot to OFF "
3- Then from the first option select Boot device priority and put your USB in the first place.
4- Choose "Save"
5- After restart the installer begin you will get five options. select run interactive installer
6- It will ask you " do you want to reserve windows and dual boot " Type: Y
7- Then " Do you want to resize windows to make more space " Type: Y
8- You will be asked " Enter the size in Mib for Windows " and the installer calculate the minimum and maximum size and it recommends the maximum size ... if you choose that value you will get about 350 MiB internal memory for android and it is too small if you want to install large apps. so the trick is to subtract the amount you need from the maximum value for ex: if you have 116000 Mib maximum then if you type 110000 you will have a 6000 MiB for the internal memory for Android.
9- After that you will be asked " Install GummiBoot bootloader " Type: Y
10- Then set the boot menu timeout ...
11- After the installation is completed remove your USB drive and press any key to restart.
12- Done.
Note:
1- When the PC start you got options, use down key or volume down to navigate. up key or volume up key to select.
2- After the first boot of windows you may be asked to do disc check...
Things you may need in Android:
Google services framework and Google Play store. Download and extract (Zip in the attachment)
And this how to install it
After connecting to Wi-Fi, open the browser and download a file manager with root capability for ex: search for ES File manager, download, install, open the file manager and then root explorer then Mount R/W and set all the options to RW.
copy Google services and play store to: system/app ... then change their permission to rw- r-- r--
image
Exit the file manager and pull the quick setting toggles area from the upper right corner and select power off " this is how to turn off Android "
Turn on the PC again and enter android and open play store and enter your user name and password .... because adding account from setting will not work and force close it...
In play store there are many apps that set to be not compatible but it may work and if I remember for example angry birds space free is working fine after I transfer and install it. so you can try...
Another thing you must try ... Is the Xposed framework by @rovo89 thanks to him for x86 support...
Link to original post ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
Xposed installer 2.3.1 in the attachments... And scrennshots in the second post ...
Known Bugs:
1- Auto brightness is working by default even if disabled
2- If you want to use the on screen keyboard you have to disable the hardware keyboard after each reboot.(shortcut found in the notification area)
3- Battery left percentage is ok at start up ... but then it is not updating ...
4- Tell me to add if i forget something
Useful info
keyboard shortcuts:
ESC = Back
Windows home = Android Home
Alt+Tab =switch between opened background applications
Ctrl+P = settings
Ctrl+M = settings/all applications
Ctrl+N = Nova launcher settings (if installed)
Ctrl+S = play store (in Nova launcher if installed)
Ctrl+W = select wallpaper for home screen
Ctrl+Alt+Delete = kill android and restart ( don't do it because you may lose data )
Fn + (F6 or F7 or F8) = mute, volume down , volume up ---- respectively
Fn+ F4 =home ( so pressing windows home button is easier )
In home screen , typing any letter will trigger search
i will add more if i find or remember
Screenshots
With Xposed framework installed...
Added benchmark screenshots... In the attachments
Will add videos as soon as I can...
amazing!! do you think it will hurt if i download a copy and try it on the xe500t (Atom processor)?

How many times does it have to be said, it wont work.
AndroidIA is custom tailored for intel core series processors not atom. Clovertrail as in the xe500t is also hardware locked to windows 8 (no idea why).

Sharing files
I just wanted to know if android is installed will it be able to access files such as documents pdf pics etc from windows 8
if not how can we make this work
That would require NTFS drivers installed in Android; I know how to do it in "normal" Linux but have never attempted with Android.
I use the micro SD card slot as a shared storage... So everything there can be accessed from both operating systems...

How can i uninstall this and return back to just windows
This looks very cool and I want to try it on my XE700T. But don't want to screw it up and brick the thing. Has anyone else tried it successfully? Also, will this affect the ability to apply Samsung updates or Windows upgrades later?

So did you install it? Don't care for it? If so, what don't you like?

Its a regular x86 machine, you can't just brick them. You can seriously bugger up windows, but get a fresh windows install USB (can buy them I think, or you can make one from an install DVD) and you can reinstall windows from scratch, but it will cost you. Or you could be logical and make a recovery USB for your system first which would then allow you to restore anyway, if you own a windows 8 system you should make a recovery USB anyway.
Having android wont effect your windows partition at all. Presuming you dont just go over-writing your windows partition, which would be a dumb idea, and is also why you dont try this guide unless you know what your doing.

Thanks. I just made a recovery USB. Am going to try out the recovery feature and make sure I know what to do before taking the plunge. So I take it you got this installed? Do you like it? Other than the bugs listed on OP, are there any other issues? Does it perform well? I hope so with the all-powerful Core i5...

@p0k3y ... if you have XE700T ... not the XE700T1C then follow these instructions from A-IA site:
Android on Intel ArchitectureSamsung XE700T
The Samsung XE700T Slate is a PC-compatible SandyBridge platform with touch-screen, USB host port, world facing camera, and Wi-Fi. The device also includes orientation and acceleration sensors, but they are non-functional in Android-IA due to the fact that they communicate using a proprietary protocol.
BIOS Update
It is highly recommended that you download and install the latest BIOS firmware from Samsung while you still have windows on the device. The installer requires windows to run, and recent versions provide significant improvements.
Setting the device to boot from USB thumb drive:
1.Grab an USB keyboard and plug it into a device USB port
2.Power on the device
3.After the power led is on, press the Home button and keep it pressed until the BIOS screen appears
4.Go to Boot menu using right/left arrow keys
5.Select Boot Device Priority using the Enter key
6.Go to USB KEY and press F6 until it becomes the top-most list item
7.Exit the Boot menu using the ESC key
8.Go to the Exit menu and select Save Changes and Reset using Enter
9.Power off the device and then power it on again
10.After the power led is on, press the Home button and keep it pressed until the BIOS screen appears (we need to enter the BIOS again to check the Legacy USB Support, sometimes it is disabled, after the first change in the BIOS)
11.Go to the Advanced menu using the right/left arrows
12.If the UEFI Boot Support is Disabled, change it to Enabled
13.Exit BIOS with Save Changes and Reset, as described above
14.Power off the device
15.Unplug the USB keyboard
Samsung XE700T Machine Check Error
Several users ran into a situation (when experimenting with a different kernel) that the machine would just get a "Machine Check Error" when trying to boot, either with or without the USB stick. This occurred after booting from the USB stick both with and without install-to-disk. Recovery procedure:
1.Power-on the machine while holding down the upper volume button on the left-hand side. This goes into the the Windows Boot Manager as in the "Gotcha" section above.
2.Let it go ahead and attempt to boot. This fails, however the failure mode is different because it is now trying to boot off of hard-disk, and gets a "Boot error" in the upper-left corner of the screen, instead of "machine check error".
3.Reset the system and power-on while holding the "windows" button at middle-bottom. This enters BIOS setup screen.
4.Re-enable "legacy USB", if needed.
5.Change boot-order to boot from the USB-stick first, hard-disk second.
6.Reboot from the USB stick.
7.Re-install a working OS to hard-disk.
Samsung XE700T touchscreen anomalies
Occasional users find that the touchscreen is not working with a Samsung device. This can be caused by some unknown compatibility issues with some USB hubs. If you run into this, a workaround is to unplug all USB device including the hub and just plug in the keyboard directly. Similar issues have been seen with oddball USB network adapters.
Samsung XE700T Restore Procedure
As mentioned in the Quick Start, it is important to back up any user data on the device before erasing it and over-writing it with Android. In addition, it is important to retain the original OS installation media, in case you want to restore the originally installed OS. These are referenced in the following restoration procedure.
To restore the Samsung XE700T to its factory default state you will need the following items:
•USB hub with at least three ports available
•USB keyboard
•USB mouse
•Samsung System Recovery Media (shipped with your slate PC)
•Samsung System Software Media (shipped with your slate PC)
•If restoring directly from a DVD ◦USB DVD-ROM Optical Drive (if restoring directly from DVD)
•If restoring from USB thumb drive ◦DVD-ROM Optical Drive on a separate PC (instructions provided for Windows and Ubuntu)
◦USB thumb drive -- 8GB or larger
System Recovery Media Prep -- USB thumb drive (Ubuntu Linux)
1.Install gettext (sudo apt-get install gettext).
2.Install gparted (sudo apt-get install gparted), it's a GUI tool that we'll use to format the thumb drive.
3.Download the latest stable version of ms-sys from http://ms-sys.sourceforge.net/#Download
4.Unpack the ms-sys***.tar.gz, cd to it in the terminal, then execute the following commands:
5.make
6.sudo make install
7.Launch gparted, select your thumb drive in the upper right corner.
8.Delete all partitions on the thumb drive, if any are present.
9.Go to Device -> Create Partition Table , in the dialog that appears click "Advanced" and select ms-dos partition table.
10.Go to Partition -> New and select NTFS, select all available drive space.
11.After the formatting is over, go to Partition -> Manage flags and check the "boot" flag.
12.Copy all files and folders from the Samsung recovery DVD to the thumb drive.
13.Open your terminal and create Win 7 MBR by executing the following command(replace /dev/sdX with your thumb drive's path):
14.ms-sys -7 /dev/sdX
System Recovery Media Prep -- USB thumb drive (Windows)
Note: These steps are not necessary if you plan to use a USB optical drive and the System Recovery Media DVD for the restore.
1.If necessary, download and install a program that will rip DVD discs to an ISO file. We use LC ISOCreator, which can be found at http://lc-iso-creator.en.softonic.com/.
2.If necessary, download and install a program that will burn ISO images to the thumb drive. We use the tool at http://www.isotousb.com/.
3.Format your thumb drive with a FAT32 file system.
4.Rip the Samsung Recovery Media DVD into an ISO file with ISOCreator.
5.Burn the Samsung Recovery Media ISO onto the thumb drive with isotousb.
Restore Steps
1.Power down the XE700T.
2.Connect the USB hub to the USB port on the XE700T.
3.Connect the keyboard, mouse, and recovery media (using either an optical drive or a USB thumb drive) to the USB hub.
4.Insert the System Recovery Media DVD into the optical drive if using the optical drive.
5.Hold down the center button (Windows key) and power on the device. Continue holding the Windows button until the BIOS setup screen appears.
6.Hold down the rotate button (right edge of tablet below the power button) until the Advanced section of the BIOS UI is highlighted.
7.Select 'Legacy USB Support' and make sure it is set to 'Enabled.'
8.Hold down the rotate button and use the volume up or volume down buttons until the Boot section of the BIOS UI is highlighted.
9.Select 'Boot Device Priority', making changes so that the recovery media (DVD drive or thumb drive) is the primary boot device.
10.Make sure that the UEFI Boot option in the BIOS is also set to 'Enabled.'
11.Press the Windows key once, and then hold down the rotate button and use the volume up or volume down buttons, until the Exit section of the BIOS UI is highlighted and then select 'Save Changes and Reset.' The XE700T should now boot off of the recovery media and the Windows installer should start.
12.Select your language and go through the setup process, until it asks you for the type of install. Select 'Custom' and then delete all existing partitions.
13.Select the available disk space after deleting all of the partitions as the install location for Windows.
14.At this point, the Windows installation should proceed.
15.(Optional) Install the Samsung System Software packages from DVD-ROM or USB key by connecting your media and running SecSWMgrGuide.exe from the media and following the prompts.
Samsung XE700T Gotcha!
Take care, when powering-up the unit, that you don't accidentally press the Volume-Up button (for example, if grip the tablet with your left hand) at the same time as you press the Power button, or the unit will go into "Samsung Recovery Mode" (that is, to the Windows Boot Manager, which is looking for the Windows installation disc). After that, the unit will never boot Android, instead displaying the words "Boot error" in the upper-left corner of the screen. (You will need to install Android again.)
This problem will probably not be observed in images downloaded and built since 5/24/2012, when a patch fixing this issue was integrated.

as I mentioned in the OP the XE700T is officially supported ... link to the site https://01.org/android-ia/documentation/samsung-xe700t
@bdroid ... use a recovery USB to roll back to windows only...
if you accidently lost recovery ... here is the link for XE700T1C-A01US reocovery image zip ... just unzip it to USB then boot using it and follow the onscreen instructions...
BTW this Recovery zip is not mine ... but I tried it and it is 100% working ...

I dont own a windows tablet no.
From what I have heard though, core i5 systems benchmark damn well for android but have 2 notable issues.
Firstly they don't use full hardware acceleration, I dont know if thats a thing being worked on or what, but for now the sheer CPU power just hammers its way through that.
Secondly its an x86 processor. Android apps use what is called a virtual machine (its called dalvik, alot of people claim its java, but its not) which allows them to run on any hardware. However some apps use what is known as the android NDK, or native code running outside of the virtual machine. Reasons for this are code re-use (android ports of some iOS apps take this approach) or performance. The android NDK is platform specific, with the default settings if you create an app using the NDK, it will throw the little dalvik bit in needed to start the app and then it will compile the native parts for ARMv7 (most android devices). Changing the settings allows for x86, ARMv6 and MIPS but not everyone changes that, especially as it leads to its own problems in either distributing separate x86 and ARMv7 apps (possible) or it will let you throw both x86 and ARM versions in one app but this leads to an app double the size it needs to be. So nice and simple, many developers ignore it entirely and leave it at ARM only.
So you may come across certain apps which don't function on your device. The x86 devices sold to consumers such as the galaxy tab 3, do include an ARM emulator to help avoid some of the above issues, sadly android-ia and androidx86 dont do that.
Have fun. And yeah, test that you can get into your recovery first, always a good idea.

Thanks, I will try it soon. What I meant by "safe" was whether your instruction applies to my model XE700T1C-A01US. I think it does. But let me know if it doesn't.
So my Yoga 11 has been laying around for some years now and usage has been getting worse mostly because of the included, no longer supported, Internet Explorer.
But when I found that a working release of Windows 10 ARM32 for the Surface RT was around, I decided to go rogue and install it on my Yoga 11.
I adapted the tutorial by @kephax and @Zaveraj to the needs of the Yoga and added own experiences https://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-8-rt/rt-general/tutorial-install-windows-10-arm32-t4052035 https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82022643&postcount=41
Feedback and suggestions are always welcome
**WORKING** Windows 10 arm32 on Lenovo Yoga 11
As usual, disclaimer: For dead devices, the author is not responsible. Perform all actions at your own peril and risk. At the moment, the topic with flashing is young and everything is done manually. Perhaps later the process will be partially or fully automated. In the meantime ...
Let's go !!!

Documents and instructions
1. Firmware is a potentially dangerous process and requires some accuracy. Always have a recovery disc on hand created from the official kit from Microsoft!
2. In order to facilitate the installation process, in addition to the USB flash drive, you will need a USB keyboard and an USB bluetooth/wifi adapter.
3. Windows 10 on ARM is basically functional. The drivers for Surface 1 work fine, the Bluetooth driver for Surface 2 has some problems. The store mainly supports the installation of ARM applications. Office 2013 is fully operational and even has a Russian language pack.
4. The image is not meant for the Yoga 11, therefore Keyboard, Sound, Wifi, Bluetooth, camera, Touchscreen? are not working in the installation process. After a 'magic' windows update in the end, they do work.

Create recovery drive using the existing Windows RT 8.1 installation:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17422/windows-8-create-usb-recovery-drive
1. Clear an USB drive (8gb+ advised)
2. Open 'Create a recovery drive' on the Windows RT installation
3. Follow the instructions on the screen
Restore the laptop to version 8.1 according to this instruction :
1. Ensure that the Yoga is completely turned off and connected to the charger. Connect the recovery disk to the USB port.
2. Press and hold the volume up and windows button on the screen. Press and release the power button.
3. Hold volume up and windows button until a black screen with a console like appearance appears, then you may release
4. When prompted, select English and a keyboard layout.
5. Select "Troubleshooting", then select "Recover from a Drive", in my case the last USB device was the correct one, It may take some tries which one you need. If you are prompted for a Bitlocker recovery key, select "Skip this drive" at the bottom of the screen. Next, select “Just remove my files” and the last “Reinstall”. The laptop will go into reboot and recovery of clean 8.1 will begin.
Hacking SecureBoot
1. Turn off UAC. Run the registry file - Disabling_UAC.reg and, after merging, restart the laptop.
2. Unmount the registry hive responsible for the BCD. Using a combination of win + R buttons, open the Run window and enter regedit to open the registry editor. Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ BCD00000000, and click "File" - "Unload Hive" ("File" - "Uninstall Hive")
3. Run the SecureBootPatch patch
Open the "securebootpatch" directory. Run as administrator (right click) InstallPolicy.cmd, and then restart the laptop.
After the reboot, the secure boot debug policy interface will appear. Select "accept and install" to install the policy.
4. Turning on the test mode.
Run the command line and enter:
bcdedit /set {default} testsigning on && bcdedit /set {bootmgr} testsigning on
If there are no errors, restart the laptop and enter the recovery mode command line. Check the lower right corner of the screen for the words "secureboot is not configured correctly". If the inscription is present - continue (At the start of the WinPE GUI boot, it will blink and disappear under the background, will appear again at the command prompt).
-- I have to admit that I didn't check the secureboot, but it went well
Deploying win10
1. From the last step, we are in WinPE recovery mode:
Go to the command line: Select "Troubleshooting", then "Advanced Options" - "Command Prompt". A request for a bitlocker recovery key should not appear.
2. Format drive C. Make sure that the commands are entered correctly and enter the next only if there are no errors in the previous one.
Enter
(a) diskpart
(b) list disk
(c) select disk 0
(d) list partition
(e) select partition 4
(f) format quick fs = ntfs override
(f) exit
3. Actually deploying win 10: The win10 deployment file suitable for your device (the surface RT one) should already be at the root of the flash drive. If not, rename it to "install.wim", and copy it to the root!
Enter:
dism /apply-image /imagefile:d:\install.wim /index:1 /ApplyDir:c:\
Where: "d: \ install.wim" is the location of the deployment file from Win 10, and "c:" is the system drive to which you are deploying.
Close the dialog after execution and restart the tablet.
4. When restarting you will get an error popup: Press SHIFT+F10
-- This is the moment the drivers are no longer present and you will need the USB keyboard
5. Type Regedit and go to KEY_Local machine/SYSTEM/Setup/Status/ChildCompletion > setup.exe > Modify the value to "3"
6. Restart
NOTE: I did not connect to wifi until sometime later, there is a firmware update that seems to mess up the ability to install appx files?
-- Dont connect, for the above reason, a connection is however needed later on for the drivers.

Did you start with the clean recovered 8.1? And also rebooted after disabling the UAC? Did not connect the new installation to the internet? And run the InstallPolicy.cmd as administrator?
Could you please verify that you executed all these steps, and maybe re-run them?

Oh no. Everytime I go into recovery and try to recover from the USB it just restart into recovery Mode. I can choosen to recover from Disk and USB but i cant chose for example the D:/ drive..
I just "cleaned" Windows rt without wiping data.

I first had the same problem. I booted the recovery mode (starting while holding screen-windows-button, vol up and press power), then "Use a device" and tried all the USB devices showing up until I was lucky it rebooted to a different recovery screen. As far as I remember this recovery from the USB drive had less options in the menu. There were indeed no clear options to select like D:/ or USB drive, SD card, SSD partition 1. Would have made it easier. So I would suggest to try all the options in the "Use a device" menu with the recovery USB inserted.
Can you please post a Screenshot or a photo of the Yoga running Windows 10?
Microsoft says that "Use a Device" will only reboot into recovery again... ?

Second and third picture, a prompt for a keyboard layout when booting from the USB drive. In my case the 'correct' USB Drive to use in the previous recovery menu 'Use a device' was the one at the bottom right.
I used a USB drive with an indication LED so I could see when it was being read (also booting to the recovery took significantly longer)

Isn't this the moment to edit the register and reboot again?
4. When restarting you will get an error popup: Press SHIFT+F10
-- This is the moment the drivers are no longer present and you will need the USB keyboard
5. Type Regedit and go to KEY_Local machine/SYSTEM/Setup/Status/ChildCompletion > setup.exe > Modify the value to "3"
6. Restart

Glad to see it works
Quick question, what did you do exactly to get internet access to the yoga 11 while no drivers where installed(when keyboard, wifi drivers etc. don't work)? Because to use a usb wifi adapter you'd need to install it's setup, which doesn't work because it's rt and it doesn't support it. So how did you exactly get internet access? Did your usb bluetooth adapter not need a setup? And also, do you know why usb tethering doesn't work? My only usb wifi adapter doesn't work because of the above reasons, so I tried tethering trough usb with my phone, but it would just show up as an unkown device with RNDIS as the name, and it wouldn't work(still no internet). Could you please help me out?

In my case the USB Bluetooth adapter just worked. I think another wifi adapter should also work. You need a device which works with the generic drivers which are included. I think USB tethering requires some drivers that are not included by default and therefore need windows update/an internet connection.
I suggest you try another USB Bluetooth/wifi adapter and maybe borrow one somewhere. You can also try to force install the generic driver on the wifi adapter you have laying around, it may work.. I have no hopes for USB tethering.
Hi again,
Thanks for your answer last time.
If it's no bother, could I ask which bluetooth/wifi adapter you used?

Hello, I found myself that it is not actually necessary to buy an adapter. The Windows 8.1 recovery USB drive contains a Wi-Fi driver which works under Windows 10. The hardest part is installing it, though it's easiy if you're familiar with installing drivers under Device Manager.
Do as follows:
- Plug your Windows 8.1 USB recovery drive into your Lenovo Yoga 11.
- Take note of the drive letter that the recovery USB appears under (for example D:\)
- Open Device Manager.
- Look under the 'Other devices' tab. Try to find a device with a name suggesting it is a Wi-Fi adapter. I do not have on hand what it is supposed to be called right now. If you get stuck at this stage, let me know and I'll look further.
- Right click the device and click 'Update Driver Software...'
- Click 'Browse my computer locally for driver software'.
- In the search location type the location of your USB drive. For example if your drive is letter D:\ than type in D:\. You must make sure 'Include subfolders' option is ticked.
- Click 'Next' and the driver for Wi-Fi should be installed successfully if you chose the right device. If you choose the wrong one it's fine, just try again with the correct one.
Let me know how it goes...
Добрый день всем. Попал данный ноутбук в руки. Подскажите как его можно использовать для серфинга в интернете и офисной работы? Надо ли его прошивать на windows 10?

so my yoga 11 has been laying around for some years now and usage has been getting worse mostly because of the included, no longer supported, internet explorer.
But when i found that a working release of windows 10 arm32 for the surface rt was around, i decided to go rogue and install it on my yoga 11.
I adapted the tutorial by @kephax and @zaveraj to the needs of the yoga and added own experiences https://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-8-rt/rt-general/tutorial-install-windows-10-arm32-t4052035 https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82022643&postcount=41
feedback and suggestions are always welcome
**working** windows 10 arm32 on lenovo yoga 11
as usual, disclaimer: For dead devices, the author is not responsible. Perform all actions at your own peril and risk. At the moment, the topic with flashing is young and everything is done manually. Perhaps later the process will be partially or fully automated. In the meantime ...
Let's go !!!

documents and instructions
1. Firmware is a potentially dangerous process and requires some accuracy. Always have a recovery disc on hand created from the official kit from microsoft!
2. In order to facilitate the installation process, in addition to the usb flash drive, you will need a usb keyboard and an usb bluetooth/wifi adapter.
3. Windows 10 on arm is basically functional. The drivers for surface 1 work fine, the bluetooth driver for surface 2 has some problems. The store mainly supports the installation of arm applications. Office 2013 is fully operational and even has a russian language pack.
4. The image is not meant for the yoga 11, therefore keyboard, sound, wifi, bluetooth, camera, touchscreen? Are not working in the installation process. After a 'magic' windows update in the end, they do work.

create recovery drive using the existing windows rt 8.1 installation:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17422/windows-8-create-usb-recovery-drive
1. Clear an usb drive (8gb+ advised)
2. Open 'create a recovery drive' on the windows rt installation
3. Follow the instructions on the screen
restore the laptop to version 8.1 according to this instruction :
1. Ensure that the yoga is completely turned off and connected to the charger. Connect the recovery disk to the usb port.
2. Press and hold the volume up and windows button on the screen. Press and release the power button.
3. Hold volume up and windows button until a black screen with a console like appearance appears, then you may release
4. When prompted, select english and a keyboard layout.
5. Select "troubleshooting", then select "recover from a drive", in my case the last usb device was the correct one, it may take some tries which one you need. If you are prompted for a bitlocker recovery key, select "skip this drive" at the bottom of the screen. Next, select “just remove my files” and the last “reinstall”. The laptop will go into reboot and recovery of clean 8.1 will begin.
Hacking secureboot
1. Turn off uac. Run the registry file - disabling_uac.reg and, after merging, restart the laptop.
2. Unmount the registry hive responsible for the bcd. Using a combination of win + r buttons, open the run window and enter regedit to open the registry editor. Select hkey_local_machine \ bcd00000000, and click "file" - "unload hive" ("file" - "uninstall hive")
3. Run the securebootpatch patch
open the "securebootpatch" directory. Run as administrator (right click) installpolicy.cmd, and then restart the laptop.
After the reboot, the secure boot debug policy interface will appear. Select "accept and install" to install the policy.
4. Turning on the test mode.
Run the command line and enter:
Bcdedit /set {default} testsigning on && bcdedit /set {bootmgr} testsigning on
if there are no errors, restart the laptop and enter the recovery mode command line. Check the lower right corner of the screen for the words "secureboot is not configured correctly". If the inscription is present - continue (at the start of the winpe gui boot, it will blink and disappear under the background, will appear again at the command prompt).
-- i have to admit that i didn't check the secureboot, but it went well
deploying win10
1. From the last step, we are in winpe recovery mode:
Go to the command line: Select "troubleshooting", then "advanced options" - "command prompt". A request for a bitlocker recovery key should not appear.
2. Format drive c. Make sure that the commands are entered correctly and enter the next only if there are no errors in the previous one.
Enter
(a) diskpart
(b) list disk
(c) select disk 0
(d) list partition
(e) select partition 4
(f) format quick fs = ntfs override
(f) exit
3. Actually deploying win 10: The win10 deployment file suitable for your device (the surface rt one) should already be at the root of the flash drive. If not, rename it to "install.wim", and copy it to the root!
Enter:
Dism /apply-image /imagefile:d:\install.wim /index:1 /applydir:c:\
where: "d: \ install.wim" is the location of the deployment file from win 10, and "c:" is the system drive to which you are deploying.
Close the dialog after execution and restart the tablet.
4. When restarting you will get an error popup: Press shift+f10
-- this is the moment the drivers are no longer present and you will need the usb keyboard
5. Type regedit and go to key_local machine/system/setup/status/childcompletion > setup.exe > modify the value to "3"
6. Restart
note: I did not connect to wifi until sometime later, there is a firmware update that seems to mess up the ability to install appx files?
-- dont connect, for the above reason, a connection is however needed later on for the drivers.
