TurboServiceMobile V2026.01.18 Lenovo & Meizu Support
TurboServiceMobile V2026.01.18-1933 Expanding Support for Gaming & Flagships
Just days after the previous release, TurboServiceMobile (TSM) is back with a massive update, V2026.01.18-1933. This release shifts focus from interface refinements to raw, expanding compatibility across some of the most popular gaming and flagships devices on the market.
Technicians dealing with niche brands like Meizu and high-performance hardware like the Lenovo Legion series will find this update particularly valuable. It also plugs a critical gap for RedMagic users by fixing boot issues on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 platform and adding support for the RedMagic Gaming Tablet series.

Expanded Device Ecosystem
This update categorizes new support into three distinct pillars: Lenovo Gaming/Tablets, Meizu Flagships, and the ZTE RedMagic ecosystem.
Lenovo Legion & Tablet Series
Although listed as "ZTE Snapdragon" in the raw log, the models confirmed in this section are exclusively Lenovo devices. This update unlocks high-level operations for the entire Legion gaming phone lineup and several popular tablets.
- Operations Supported: Remove FRP, Factory Reset, Read/Write Firmware, Read/Write Dump.
- Key Models:
- Gaming Phones: Lenovo Legion 2 Pro, Legion Y90, Legion Y70, Legion Pro 5G.
- Tablets: Lenovo Tab P11, Tab P11 Pro, Tab P12 Pro, Tab M10 Plus, Xiaoxin Pad Pro, and the gaming-focused Lenovo Legion Tab (TB320FC/TB321FU).
Meizu Snapdragon Series
Meizu devices are notoriously difficult to service with third-party tools. TSM V2026.01.18 breaks down those barriers with comprehensive support for both legacy and modern flagships.
- Operations Supported: Remove FRP, Factory Reset, Read/Write Firmware, Read/Write Dump.
- Supported Models:

- Modern: Meizu 17, 18 series (including 18S/Pro), and the latest Meizu 20/21 series (21, 21 Note, 21 Pro).
ZTE RedMagic & Gaming Tablets
This section is a treasure trove for RedMagic technicians, covering devices from the original RedMagic up to the latest Z series. It also introduces support for RedMagic's tablet accessories.

Critical Technical Improvements
Beyond adding new models, this update addresses stability and functionality for existing users.
- Fixed Boot Bug: Specifically resolved the boot issue affecting RedMagic Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 [SM8650-AB] devices. This was a high-priority fix as newer gaming phones utilize this chipset.
- Enhanced Meta Functions: The backend functions for META mode operations have been refined, improving the success rate for read/write tasks across all supported brands.
Practical Scenario: Reviving a Bricked Lenovo Legion 2 Pro
The Situation:
A customer brings in a Lenovo Legion 2 Pro that is stuck in a bootloop after attempting to root the device. The standard recovery mode is inaccessible, and the customer fears the data is lost.
The Solution with TurboServiceMobile V2026.01.18:
- Assessment: The technician identifies that the device is in a "soft brick" state but can still communicate via EDL (Emergency Download) mode.
- Tool Selection: Launching TSM V2026.01.18, the technician navigates to the Lenovo section and selects "Lenovo Legion 2 Pro [L70081]."
- Firmware Restoration: Instead of a simple factory reset (which won't fix a corrupted system), the technician uses the "Read/Write Firmware" function. They load the official stock ROM for the device.
- Execution: TSM flashes the firmware, repairing the corrupted boot partitions and restoring the device to factory conditions. The "Enhanced Meta Functions" ensure the flashing process completes without errors.
- Outcome: The Legion 2 Pro boots up successfully, saving the customer from a costly motherboard replacement.
