Will Graphene OS, Lineage OS, or some other operating system install on a Lenovo Tablet?

Edit: Its a Lenovo P11 Tab Pro Gen 2

    Without support from the vendor they don’t. Mobile computing is so locked down right now that it might be possible that not even the vendor can repair a bricked phone tbh.

    Compare it to a broken BIOS on a PC. You can basically throw out your motherboard if you fail while updating it. Some devices have hardware pins used only for provisioning and debugging (JTAG) but they would have to be reverse engineered first.

      Can confirm, bricked a Latitude E6420 trying to put coreboot on it and completely missing an instruction in bright red bold text. Had a parts machine thankfully, and had to swap the boards.
