Maintainer notes
Compatible Lenovo X605F/L versions
This port works well for the 3GB/32GB versions of this tablet.
There also exists a 2GB/16GB version, where it is not possible to flash a custom recovery image. That means, that you still can install Ubuntu Touch boot and system images manually by fastboot. But you will not be able to use the installer or get OTA updates.

How to install Ubuntu Touch OS
You can install Ubuntu Touch on this device using the UBports Installer on your computer.
Make sure your device is unlocked and has the required version of Android installed. Before installing, follow the device-specific instructions below:
- Please make sure, that your device is a Lenovo Smart Tab M10 X605L or X605F with at least 3GB RAM. For the 2GB/16GB models, the installer won't work!
- Your device must be running Android 9 before installing Ubuntu Touch. This seems to be already the case for the most devices of this type. But if you still need to flash the Android 9 stock rom, please see the install section in the link below:
Linux
Windows & Mac

Lenovo Tab M10 X605F/L
Did the maintainer say that feature ‘works’ but you know from doing it that
it really doesn’t?
Start by searching the device issue , if you found it, hopefully the porter is on it. 'Subscribe' to the issue in case it get solved.
Couldn't find it?
Uh-oh… Well it is time to let the porter and everyone else know about the fail and send the tech magic back to the workshop for a makeover.
1. Read 'Bug Reporting' section in UBports docs on 'How to report a bug'.
2. Then (this time), head to the device repository and submit it, so the porter knows about it.
