Possible to install Android on "duff" Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 8 via SD card?

[Mel_P]

Like many other people my Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 8 suffered some problem during charging or updates that causes it not to boot. It seems to have lost some part of the OS. Mine appeared to be a duff battery after 2 years. I managed to buy one fro China and install it but now it won't boot past the start up screen.

I have got into a recovery mode but "reset to factory" doesn't help.

Is it possible to forget what was on there and install a "vanilla" android OS from the SD card please?

Phew - new territory for me - when I have a few days spare!

Thanks, Mel

Well - I have nothing to lose - "dead" at the moment. Battery failed. I bought a new one from China (long way to the shops - but he ho). Installed battery and won't boot.

Seems a common fault with Lenovo Tabs!
