How to flash Lenovo Yoga Book that doesn't boot into the OS?

Question

I've acquired a Lenovo Yoga Book (YB1-X90F) that doesn't boot into the OS. I can access the bootloader and recovery environment.

I've followed the guide over at XDA that uses Intel Platform Flash Tool, but I get errors straight away. Another person has the same problem--2nd to last poster.:

02/20/22 15:54:20.155  ERROR  : [Port 1/7] Command `"C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Platform Flash Tool Lite\fastboot.exe" "-s"
"YETIDD2E4EC8" "flashing" "unlock"` failed
02/20/22 15:54:20.155  ERROR  : [Port 1/7] Flash failed (Command type: Fastboot)

I've also installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot but I don't know what I'm doing.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot devices
YETIDD2E4EC8    fastboot

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb devices List of
devices attached

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>

The ROM I got (YB1-X90F_USR_S000196_1611040312_WW06_BP_ROW-flashfiles.zip) from some random site includes what looks like some info or installation steps in the .zip, but even with Word auto-translation into Chinglish, I don't understand what is being said.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Solved. I ran 'flash_update_from_user.json

Just waiting for the battery to charge to 30% to hopefully enable the Halo Keyboard.
