About This Video

In this video I’m back on the Lenovo Legion Y700, but this time it’s not a simple “follow the steps” tutorial. A subscriber emailed me after they bricked their tablet trying my 2023-only method on a later 2024/2025 revision. English wasn’t their first language, they followed along, and the device ended up stuck and effectively dead to them—no proper boot, no recovery—just a fastboot-style menu and “current is not bootable.” I walk through how I diagnosed what was actually going on: the tablet was sold with a “fake global ROM.” It started life as a China model, then got flashed to a Japan NEC-style ROM without the buyer being told. That region/ROM mismatch is exactly why these newer revisions can’t use the same approach as the 2023 units (and why I’ve added big warnings on the original video). We tried the RSA method with the correct ROM swap, but the real fix was getting it back onto the proper Chinese firmware using Qualcomm tooling (QFIL/EDL under the hood), then recovering from there. The takeaway is simple: verify your exact model and region before flashing anything—these tablets are expensive, and blind tutorial-following can bite you hard.
