Solution for Linux users. Setting up the device for USB debugging is the same whatever OS you use, but QPST/QFIL is not going to work on Linux…
Get qdl,
https://github.com/96boards/documentation/blob/master/consumer/guides/qdl.md
Follow the instructions there, clone it, compile it, for the code example below, put it in folder ‘~/qdl’.
With the stock ROM in ‘~/LenovoY700/tb-9707-firmware’
cd ~/LenovoY700/tb-9707-firmware
fastboot devices
fastboot oem reboot-edl <<<<< note this….
sudo ~/qdl/qdl prog_firehose_ddr.elf rawprogram*.xml patch*.xml
Apart from the userdata partition taking a very long time, the flash completed and boots the stock ROM perfectly.
