The Lenovo Idea Tab Plus is an Android device from Lenovo, released in 2025. It combines the Mediatek Dimensity 6400 (6 nm) and a 12.1-inch display, running Android 15. This page tracks its full specifications, root status, and the bootloader and recovery notes that apply to it.
Root the Lenovo Idea Tab Plus
The Lenovo Idea Tab Plus is a 2025 Android device from Lenovo. It runs the Mediatek Dimensity 6400 (6 nm), a MediaTek platform, flashed via SP Flash Tool on many models with BROM as the deep-recovery path. Shipped software: Android 15, up to 2 major Android upgrades. For this model the realistic path is: a standard fastboot bootloader unlock, followed by Magisk via patched init_boot image (fastboot). Typical hands-on time is 1–3 hours.
Difficulty
Moderate — brand-specific steps involved
Typical time
1–3 hours
Method
Magisk via patched init_boot image (fastboot) — KernelSU also viable (GKI kernel)
Bootloader unlock on Lenovo
Unlock procedure follows the generic Android flow: enable OEM Unlocking in Developer Options, then unlock via fastboot. Exact availability depends on the model and region — confirm before flashing.
Platform notes
MediaTek platforms flash through SP Flash Tool rather than plain fastboot on many models, and expose BROM mode as a deep-recovery path. Correct scatter/firmware matching matters more here than on Snapdragon devices.
Before you start
- Bootloader unlocking factory-resets the device on almost all models — back up everything first.
- As a device launched on Android 15, the Magisk target is typically init_boot.img, not boot.img — patching the wrong image is the top bootloop cause on newer models.
FAQ
Can I root the Lenovo Idea Tab Plus?
Yes. After enabling OEM Unlocking and unlocking the bootloader, root is Magisk via patched init_boot image (fastboot). The unlock notes on this page describe the exact Lenovo procedure.
Does the Lenovo Idea Tab Plus support custom recovery (TWRP)?
That depends on community support for this exact model — verify a build exists for its codename before flashing anything. TWRP is not required for root: Magisk installs by flashing a patched init_boot image via fastboot.
Will root the Lenovo Idea Tab Plus void my warranty?
Lenovo will generally treat a rooted Lenovo Idea Tab Plus as outside warranty while it is modified. Restoring full stock firmware before a service visit usually restores normal treatment in practice, and consumer law in some regions (such as the EU) may still cover defects unrelated to root.
What Android version does the Lenovo Idea Tab Plus run?
It runs Android 15, up to 2 major Android upgrades. The specifications table on this page lists the full software details.
