LineageOS 14.1 on TB3-710F abandoned
UPDATE: We are continuing development of LineageOS 14.1 using the Resurrection Remix sources, but slower than usual. Download RR Nougat for Lenovo Tab3 7 Essential here!
We released LineageOS 14.1 on the Lenovo Tab3 7″ Essential WiFi version tablets that hold the model of TB3-710F. This was done to “fill the gap of a dead HovaTek thread that had a broken link to the supposed LineageOS 14.1 build for the same tablet.” Curious? Click here.
However, there were many concerns of Android 7 being discontinued due to security updates not reaching higher than 2021. As a result, LineageOS had to discontinue 14.1 according to the latest changes.
Now that we’ve filled in the blanks, we’ve decided to liquidize all our resources to make further LineageOS 14.1 builds for the Lenovo TB3-710F as this device was too old to handle newer Android versions. Also, newer LineageOS versions aren’t going to be built for this device as the MediaTek processor found in this tablet, MT8127, doesn’t support recent versions of Android. This means that it requires some low-level debugging that we don’t have the resources for it.
However, unlike all the other projects, we promise that we’ll preserve the LineageOS downloads forever on MEGA and on AndroidFileHost.
What shall I do?
At this point, you’ll have no option other than the following options:
- Purchase a more capable tablet. We highly recommend that you purchase the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series for heavy multitasking and heavy gaming.
- Stay on TB3-710F with Android Nougat, risking that you won’t be able to receive updates for your favorite apps, including security updates, which may expose your device to security vulnerabilities.
For your security, we recommend that you go for the first option. Enjoy!
