Crucial Warning: This device has no brand-specific PC-suite tool and no fastboot path — QFIL over Qualcomm EDL is the only method that applies. If a guide elsewhere tells you to use SP Flash Tool or Lenovo/Motorola Rescue and Smart Assistant for this tablet, that guide is describing a different device family.

Compatibility & Bootloader Notes
QDL/EDL flashing via QFIL does not require a bootloader unlock, and this device has no fastboot-based alternative to fall back to.
Preparation checklist for Lenovo Tab 4 10 Plus TD-LTE JP (701LV / 702LV)
- Confirm the exact model number (701LV vs 702LV) from the device label or Settings > About tablet.
- Install the Qualcomm QDLoader HS-USB driver and QFIL.
- Back up accessible user data before flashing.
- Do not attempt to use a global Lenovo Tab 4 10 Plus (TB-X704) firmware file on this device.
How to Flash Lenovo Tab 4 10 Plus TD-LTE JP (701LV / 702LV)
QFIL (Qualcomm EDL 9008)
QFIL works the same way across thousands of devices from many brands, so the full walkthrough lives on FlashGuideHub. What is specific to Lenovo Tab 4 10 Plus TD-LTE JP (701LV / 702LV) is below.
- Match your exact model (701LV = SoftBank, 702LV = Y!mobile) before downloading — the two are not interchangeable and this tablet has no fastboot fallback if you flash the wrong one.
- See FlashGuideHub's QFIL guide for the full EDL-mode walkthrough, including the Volume Up + Volume Down + Power entry combo and driver setup.
bkerler/edl (Open-Source Qualcomm EDL)
bkerler/edl (Open-Source Qualcomm EDL) works the same way across thousands of devices from many brands, so the full walkthrough lives on FlashGuideHub. What is specific to Lenovo Tab 4 10 Plus TD-LTE JP (701LV / 702LV) is below.
- A command-line alternate to QFIL over the same EDL 9008 protocol, useful if QFIL itself won't run on your OS. Requires the same .mbn programmer from the QDL package matching your exact model.
- See FlashGuideHub's QFIL guide for the shared EDL-mode entry steps that also apply here.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. This is a Qualcomm-platform device flashed over EDL 9008 with QFIL (or the open-source bkerler/edl alternate) — Odin is Samsung-specific and SP Flash Tool is MediaTek-specific, and neither applies to this chipset.
Not the flashing procedure itself, but it's worth knowing the port seals need to be reseated correctly afterward if you had to open any covers during troubleshooting, or the water resistance rating can be compromised.
Only if your device label or Settings > About tablet reads exactly 701LV or 702LV. If it instead reads TB-X704F/L/A/V/Y, you have the global Lenovo Tab 4 10 Plus, a related but firmware-incompatible model with its own page on this network.
