I’ve got an old Lenovo Tab3 850M table, running Android 6.0.1

It’s pretty vanilla and I haven’t installed any custom ROMs or rooted the device. The battery is in pretty good condition and the table can idle for around a week I think.

It has an 8 inch IPS display, Quad-Core 1.0GHz ARM Cortex-A53 CPU, ARM Mali-T720 MP2, 500 MHz, 4-Cores GPU, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB internal storage. The cameras are pretty terrible (even for 2016 standards), and the battery is 4300mAh.

What useful things can I do with it?

    I checked the XDA forum a bit, I found this but I’m not sure on how to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and flash the ROM?

    I had once bricked this tablet while playing around with rooting it and I had to take it to a repair shop. So I’d appreciate if there were working unbrick instructions and also working instructions on how to install TWRP.

    What kind of servers could I run on this spec?

      You also need to find instructions specific to your device on how to unlock the bootloader, and a TWRP specific to your device. From there, you do a clean flash through TWRP (erasing certain partitions and then installing the new ROM), and then, you should be good to go.
