Medion (Lenovo) P1060x Tablet: Unleash Its Potential with Debloated ROMs, TWRP Recovery, and Magisk Integration

The Medion (Lenovo) P1060x tablet, while a capable device, often suffers from bloatware and limited customization options. At Magisk Modules, we aim to provide you with the tools and knowledge to unlock its true potential. This comprehensive guide details how to install a debloated stock ROM, flash TWRP recovery, and root your device with Magisk, all while maintaining stability and performance. Our meticulous approach ensures a seamless and rewarding experience, surpassing the information available elsewhere. We leverage the Magisk Module Repository to enhance your tablet experience further.

Why Debloat, Install TWRP, and Root?

Debloating removes unnecessary pre-installed applications (bloatware) that consume storage, RAM, and processing power, improving overall performance and battery life.

TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) is a custom recovery environment that allows you to:

Create and restore full system backups (nandroid backups).
Flash custom ROMs, kernels, and Magisk modules.
Wipe data and cache partitions.
Access advanced features for device modification.

Rooting with Magisk grants you superuser access, enabling you to:

Install Magisk modules for system-level modifications.
Customize the user interface.
Remove system apps.
Improve performance and battery life.
Bypass SafetyNet attestation for certain apps and services.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, ensure you have the following:

A Medion (Lenovo) P1060x Tablet: Obviously! Make sure it’s adequately charged (at least 50%).
A Windows Computer: Essential for using the ADB and Fastboot tools.
USB Cable: For connecting your tablet to your computer. Use a high-quality cable to avoid connection issues.
ADB and Fastboot Drivers: These drivers allow your computer to communicate with your tablet in bootloader mode. Download and install the drivers from a reliable source. Search for “ADB and Fastboot drivers” for your Windows version. Ensure proper installation by checking Device Manager after connecting your tablet in Fastboot mode (see below).
Unlocked Bootloader: Unlocking the bootloader is a prerequisite for flashing custom ROMs and recoveries. Warning: Unlocking the bootloader will erase all data on your tablet. Back up your important files before proceeding.
Debloated Stock ROM: A pre-debloated ROM image tailored for the P1060x. Get the latest version available at Magisk Modules. We provide meticulously crafted ROMs focusing on stability and performance, ensuring a smoother experience than other sources.
TWRP Recovery Image: The correct TWRP image for your device. Download it from a trusted source like the official TWRP website or our repository. Using the wrong image can brick your device.
Magisk APK: The latest Magisk APK file for rooting your device. You can download this from the official Magisk GitHub repository or through Magisk Module Repository.
Backup: Create a full backup of your important data, including photos, videos, documents, and contacts. Unlocking the bootloader and flashing custom ROMs can potentially erase your data. Consider using a cloud backup service or transferring files to an external storage device.

Unlocking the Bootloader

Warning: This process will erase all data on your tablet! Back up everything before proceeding.

Enable Developer Options: Go to Settings > About Tablet. Tap on “Build Number” repeatedly (usually 7 times) until you see a message saying “You are now a developer!”.
Enable USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking: Go to Settings > Developer Options. Enable “USB Debugging” and “OEM Unlocking.” If “OEM Unlocking” is not present or grayed out, ensure your tablet is connected to the internet and try again after some time. If it remains unavailable, consult Medion’s or Lenovo’s official documentation for specific unlocking procedures.
Boot into Fastboot Mode: There are two ways to do this:
- ADB Command: Connect your tablet to your computer. Open a command prompt or terminal window and type adb reboot bootloader.
- Manual Method: Power off your tablet. Press and hold the Volume Down button and the Power button simultaneously until the Fastboot screen appears.
Unlock the Bootloader: In the command prompt or terminal, type fastboot flashing unlock.
Confirm on Tablet: Your tablet will display a warning message. Use the Volume buttons to navigate and the Power button to select “Unlock the bootloader.”
Reboot: After confirming, your tablet will reboot. This process may take longer than usual.

Flashing TWRP Recovery

Download TWRP Image: Download the appropriate TWRP image file (.img) for your Medion (Lenovo) P1060x tablet. Ensure you download the correct version to avoid compatibility issues.
Boot into Fastboot Mode: As described in the “Unlocking the Bootloader” section, boot your tablet into Fastboot mode.
Flash TWRP: In the command prompt or terminal, navigate to the directory where you saved the TWRP image file. Then, type the following command:
```
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
```
Replace “twrp.img” with the actual name of your TWRP image file.
Reboot into TWRP: After the flashing process is complete, type the following command to reboot into TWRP recovery:
```
fastboot reboot recovery
```
Alternatively, you can use the volume buttons to navigate to “Recovery Mode” in the Fastboot menu and press the power button to select it.

Installing the Debloated ROM

Download the Debloated ROM: Obtain the debloated stock ROM image file for your P1060x. Ensure the file is specifically designed for your device to avoid compatibility issues. Get the latest version available at Magisk Modules.
Transfer the ROM to your Tablet: Connect your tablet to your computer while in TWRP recovery mode. If MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) is enabled, you should be able to access your tablet’s internal storage from your computer. Transfer the debloated ROM image file to a convenient location on your tablet’s storage (e.g., the root directory or a dedicated folder). If MTP is not working, use ADB push command adb push rom.zip /sdcard/
Wipe Data/Cache: In TWRP, navigate to “Wipe” and then “Advanced Wipe.” Select “Dalvik / ART Cache,” “Cache,” “System,” and “Data.” Swipe to wipe. Warning: This will erase all data on your tablet! Make sure you have backed up everything important.
Flash the ROM: Go back to the main menu in TWRP and tap on “Install.” Locate the debloated ROM image file you transferred to your tablet and select it. Swipe to confirm the flash.
Reboot: Once the flashing process is complete, tap on “Reboot System.” The first boot may take a while, so be patient.

Rooting with Magisk

Download Magisk APK: Download the latest Magisk APK file from the official Magisk GitHub repository or through Magisk Module Repository.
Install Magisk APK: Once your tablet has booted up after flashing the debloated ROM, transfer the Magisk APK file to your tablet’s storage. Use a file manager to locate the APK file and install it. You may need to enable “Install from Unknown Sources” in your device settings.
Open Magisk App: Launch the Magisk app from your app drawer. If Magisk is properly installed, it will prompt you to perform additional setup.
Direct Install (Recommended): In the Magisk app, tap on “Install” and choose “Direct Install (Recommended).” Magisk will download and install the necessary files to root your device.
Reboot: After the installation is complete, tap on “Reboot.”
Verify Root Access: Once your tablet has rebooted, open the Magisk app again. It should now indicate that Magisk is installed and your device is rooted. You can also use a root checker app from the Google Play Store to verify root access.

Essential Magisk Modules for Enhanced Performance

After successfully rooting your Medion (Lenovo) P1060x tablet with Magisk, you can further enhance its performance and functionality by installing Magisk modules. Here are some essential modules that we recommend:

Debloater (Terminal Emulator): While you’ve already installed a debloated ROM, this module allows you to remove additional system apps that you don’t need. Use with caution and research the apps before removing them.
Busybox for Android NDK: Provides essential command-line utilities for advanced users and developers.
YouTube Vanced/ReVanced: Enjoy ad-free YouTube playback, background playback, and other premium features. Note: YouTube Vanced is discontinued, ReVanced is the community successor.
AdAway: Blocks ads system-wide for a cleaner browsing experience.
Greenify4Magisk: Extends Greenify’s hibernation features to system apps, improving battery life.

You can find these modules and many others in the Magisk Module Repository.

Troubleshooting

Tablet Doesn’t Boot After Flashing: Ensure you flashed the correct ROM and TWRP image for your device. Try reflashing the ROM. If that doesn’t work, restore a nandroid backup (if you created one).
MTP Not Working in TWRP: Try a different USB cable or USB port. You can also try using ADB push to transfer files.
Magisk Installation Failed: Ensure you have the latest Magisk APK. Try reinstalling Magisk using the “Direct Install (Recommended)” method.
Bootloop after Installing Module: Boot into TWRP and uninstall the problematic module.
