But this file update.zip was for s2_india, not for s2_na

As I already mentioned that I have tested these file on my x522(S3) before upload.
Nd x52x series means x520/522/526
Download 20s flash it you will receive 21s automatically

Yes.

Sooooo I have a slight problem.
I have TWRP and stock ROM. Sort of. Xtreme Addiction ROM, only one that would work and not give the error"This is an s2 not s2_na_Xxxx" so I Flashed that, and uninstalled root, now in TWRP it doesn't show my internal storage so I can't flash this ROM, and ask for a password. So I tried using the 3dot option from settings and it won't work either, it'll just boot to TWRP and nothing happens. I'm really not looking forward to deleting everything... AGAIN but I will if I have to.

Is there an update for the Le s3 x522 that can be installed though the phone update app? I am still running stock recovery and don't want to change it but it seems the OTA updates not working

I think we might be having the same problem...
My X527 came with 16s as the stock ROM.
Upgraded to 19s with TWRP which gives me the system update option as well as OTA (which says I'm running the latest version).
I want to update to 21s and use the system update method..
Phone starts to load the new update (renamed to "update.zip") progress bar at the bottom of the screen while all of this takes place.
Phone reboots into password screen for TWRP, swipe to continue, then select system reboot and once it's back up and running it is still on 19s...?
Did you get your update resolved?

I did, I used this website. https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....factory-image-5-8-020s-directly-t3527790/amp/
Downloaded Chinese TWRP from there. As well as that ROM, if you have the 21s update file, I'm sure you can get it working with that TWRP. Hopefully it works for you.

What worked for me was replacing TWRP with the factory recovery and I'm good to go.
There was talk of an official update (beyond 21s) in December but so for, no sign of that...

Interesting, replacing stock Recovery didn't work for me when I did it, and yeah. It's most likely not coming soon due to financial issues LeEco has.

I note that this says it's the ROM for the S3.
I'm using the X527 which is the S2 with the Snapdragon chip (now listed as X526 after installing 21s), did you perhaps flash the incorrect ROM?
I had continual problems upgrading from 19s with TWRP - it would go through the whole process and then reboot to 19s..
Even after the replacement of the stock recovery, the first ROM I downloaded (21s) was not accepted. Had to download another one for it to finally work.
Could be a bad download?

Contact
How did you contact leeco and get this. I need all future updates. My phone is rooted and I am unable to completely unroot it and get OTAs.

If you don't have TWRP or anything installed, it should work fine if you put the 20s update in the root folder (the folder with the android and download folders). Then just go to system update, press menu, press local update, go through prompts and it should update automatically. Then just repeat the process for the 21s update. If you have twrp installed, I'm pretty sure the chinese ydss version doesn't allow OTA installs. This update requires stock recovery installed because it updates through the recovery. You can find stock recovery images on google (search le s3 stock recovery and click skyneel) or, someone might have posted a recovery image on the le 2 forum. Plz reply if it doesn't work, it worked for me tho.

Is there any bugs? If yes please list. Thank you

does it work for le s3 X626 mtk?
if not, please guide me as I see that this forum support Le S3.
thanks.

Is your previous update the full OTA? The incremental is not valid. If you did root any time your system is modified. You must reinstall the full zip.

yes: my system was rooted, so I had to perform a full wipe and install what I think to be the full zip (cm-bacon-64003595ee-to-ced5430fc0-signed.zip 377MB)
where can I download the full zip just to make sure?
does the full zip update wipe apps and data?
thanks in advance for the help

This time you needn't do full wipe. Only installing the full OTA via TWRP and then you must come back to the original recovery and install the incremental update. By this way you will have the last update.
All the links are in a post on this web, I don't remember the name of the post, but is easy to find.

Hi, i also have an ERROR while installing the OTA.
1. I had updated to CM13 via OTA.
2. Since I had an issue with stuck lockscreen , installed TWRP and wiped cache ( Stock CM recovery was not helping). Phone worked great since then.
3. TWRP was not longer there, instead CM Recovery.
4. New update has arrived, but i get an "ERROR" word in the middle of screen while installing.
What can I do?
Thank you in advance for your response.
Seems to be fine. Minimal fixes but at least something...

Cant open play store or connect to any google account

After installing MedroM I got this problem and couldn't connect to google account and every google app would crash if I tried to log in, so I flashed b161 and I still have this problem, even after numerous factory resets, has this ever happened to anyone ?
Yes, it is happening to other guys around here...
In fact is happening to all who flash B160/B161 firmware...
Is not possible to flash any firmware previously to B160/B161.
Workaround is to unlock bootloader, flash twrp, root it, reflash oeminfo for your device,
and after that you can flash another firmware again.

i'm in the same situation, i tried to do what you've said, but twrp says that the installation failed. how can I have play store working again? please help, this situation is driving me crazy!
i'm on c900 b161.
I had the same issue. I did a clean flash of the new 161 update and that made my device a C900. I have a Eurpoean model (T-Mobile Germany).
After 2 days of trying different stuff, here's what gave me a functional device with TWRP and Root back:
-Back up any data you want to keep, obviously.
-Reflash stock ROM (put UPDATE.APP on your dload/ folder on the separate SD card, then boot into the update function by turning the phone off and then holding Vol+, Vol-, Power. Just wait until it's finished.
-Unlock Bootloader again
-Download the Toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/development/europe-vns-l31-toolkit-bootloader-t3432873
-Flash TWRP through the toolkit
-Boot TWRP and root
-In Android, enable ADB
-In the Toolkit, go to Dual Sim>Individual and select the appropriate custom.bin and oeminfo.img from the thread of the toolkit. For my European one it was L31 SS C432. Press flash and grant Root permissions on your phone.
-Turn off your phone and flash the stock ROM again like in step 1.
-If you want root, you need to unlock the Bootloader again, flash TWRP and then root it from there.
DON'T WIPE ANYTHING IN TWRP OR YOU WILL HAVE TO START ALL OVER AGAIN!
Don't ask me how I know.
Hope this saves someone from wasting their time with this nonsense like I have.
No need to touch the oem stuff, just extract the boot.img and system.img and flash through adb, for dat you need bootloader unlocked and fastboot drivers then you can downgrade firmware and fix your sign problem or just wait for a new firmware

That would be much simpler, I didn't consider that. Would you mind writing up a guide?
I've had the same issue and have resolved it pretty easily,
i did the following steps ;
- download both medrom versions
- do full factory reset
- install medrom v1
- do all settings of google etc
- reboot recovery and install v2
- wipe dalvik and reboot
-- all works now except for the forceclose on facebook
ps : this answer is also in the thread ( not as extended as this but it's there )
Edit : some other apps are Force closing to, my guess is that there's a shared resource of some kind that's corrupted or something..

Force closing is caused by the oeminfo in my experience. Can you check in the "About Phone" section which build number your phone currently has? Should be something along the lines of "VNS-L31C432B161" where C432 indicates the region code.
since I am Running MEDROM v2 it shows just that. However , I do know it is based on b161

I got my P9 Lite from Congstar in Germany. I didn't knew, that the device would be branded by Telekom. I flashed the B161 and couldn't connect to any google account. Thankfully updating the webview apk via apk mirror solved this problem. But this leaves me with 2 questions and maybe you could answer these...?
1) Do you know which stock rom would work the best with my device (VNS-L31 without the possibility to use two sim cards ) and where I could download this stock rom.
2) Is the B161 supposed to work fine after solving this issue or are there other problems with it?
I would be really happy if someone of you could help me. :good:

1) The best stock ROM would either be, well, the stock ROM, or the Revolution ROM.
2) I've had some strange behavior with Relay for Reddit and frequent crashes of WhatsApp when sending messages. Right now I'm on Lineage OS 14.1 and it's really great. Camera's a bit slow, but otherwise I love it. I missed stock Android.

Thank you, tomorrow I'll test if Whatsapp working fine or not, that's important for me. Is Lineage 14.1 the most stable Lineage version?
Nougat is still in beta, yes. The full version is expected to come out within the next few weeks.
14.1 refers to the Android version which is 7.1.1. They adopted CyanogenMod's naming scheme. You'll still need to update LineageOS to get bugfixes and such. The dev releases a new update every 2 or 3 days, just check their website periodically.

Need update apk for EUI

Can someone help me in sending me the backuped copy of the update software on your x720. My rom doesnt have the update option. Thanks.
You might as well download official rom, rename it to update.zip and install from stock recovery. You're going to have problems with Google services though.
I tried using stock recovery with 18s.. mine is currently 17s. But it gives me message on stock recovery that the update apk is not found.. any solution for this ? Thanks..
My phone came with shop rom which had update removed. Flashed newer official rom with method above without any problems. Now running TWRP and TARS 19S though.

It is the official leeco download location.
Download, place it in the root of internal memory, rename to update.zip and install from recovery.
It has english language. If you need google apps, search for google installer.

Factory ROMs don't always play nice with TWRP or any custom recovery. Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/development/t-r-s-19s-usa-version-para-lepro3-x720-t3514960 It's really clean and nice, haven't had a single problem with it.

[Update] Remove Vendor ROM, Install Latest EUI With Update Option Stock/TWRP Recovery

The final steps to Remove "Vendor ROM" that does not have the Update Option in Settings Or Unbrick Le Max 2 or simply Update Le Max 2 to latest EUI.
NOTE: This method should address the following weird problems:
1. Le Max 2 TWRP Seeing 0MB in Internal Storage. Unable to access the ROM Storage
2. Encrypt Option Greyed Out In Settings-->Fingerprint and Security
2. Update Option missing in Settings.
3. Fingerprint Sensor not working... If it still gives trouble... Calibrate the FP Sensor in its settings. Or register the same fingerprint multiple times.
This method should work on ALL versions of Le Max 2 including X820 X829 X821
Before starting... Remove ALL USB peripherals that might interfere with the process. Use USB Ports on the PC/Laptop... DO NOT use USB Hubs... Even if the phone appears dead... Connect it Power Outlet and let it charge for an hour.
1. Download the latest Stable EUI... from LeEco Website Directly .
2. Download the FlashOne v1.9 And Service ROM From HERE.
UPDATE: FlashOne v2.0 has been released! Here's the LINK.. It is a bit more advanced and offers the ability to format User Data for a Cleaner Flash
3. Download Qualcomm Drivers
4. Put Le Max 2 in EDL (Emergency Download Mode) by pressing Volume +, Volume - and Power Button Simultaneously. For those having difficulty..... Here are few tips.
Connect the Phone to PC. If the phone is Switched/Powered On... Then Power Off the phone and Switch Back On with the Key Combinations.
OR
If the Phone is Switched Off... Then Use the Key Combination to put the phone in EDL Mode..
In either case..... the PC will make a sound of Disconnection and Reconnection of an USB peripheral. AND you will see Qualcomm QDLoader 9008 Driver Installation. To verify the same... go to Device Manager in Win 7 / Win 10 and Under Ports (Com & LPT)... you should see Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COMXX).. The XX corresponds to a particular COM Port. Remember this port.
5. Once the Le Max 2 is in Qualcomm QDLoader 9008 EDL Mode... Start the FlashOne Software.
6. Choose “Qualcomm – flash dead phone” from the drop down menu next to “Flash type”.
7. Click “Refresh button” next to “Select Device”. Here your Le Max 2 will show up but in COM Number (ComXX)
8. Browse for our Qfil/service ROM by clicking “Select File”.... You can technically select the Latest EUI ROM... But it is safer with Service ROM. DO NOT Unzip the ROM File.
9. After everything is set up under “Settings”, Press “Flash” button.
10. Installation can take anywhere between 10 to 20 minutes. Have Patience.
There are chances that the Flashing might fail. In case it does... Simply put the phone in EDL Mode again... and restart the procedure.
11. After the FlashOne confirms successful flash... Wait for 15 - 20 seconds. Then Power On the phone by pressing the Power Button for at least 60 seconds. Do Not Panic due to the long press.. Press it until the phone vibrates.
12. The Le Max 2 should be in Developer Version of EUI with an unlocked Bootloader and STOCK recovery.
13. The Developer ROM has the “Format Virtual SD card” setting in Settings Menu--> Backup/Reset--> Factory Reset.. Use the setting to get back the 50+GB
[You can also use the option Format Data in TWRP Recovery instead and the partition will 64GB correctly instead of 10 GB initially. Read ahead for the procedure]
14. Once you have a working Le Max 2... there are two directions:
Install Latest Stable EUI ROM... with Update Option
OR Install TWRP Recovery / ROOT / Custom ROM
15. a. For those who wish to install Stock ROM... Simply rename it to "update" (DO NOT Add .zip... Else the file will look like update.zip.zip) and place the update.zip file in ROOT of the phone. Thereafter Switch Off the Phone... Enter Recovery by pressing Volume + and Power Button... Choose Update System AND the other setting to Clear All Data. Your Le Max 2 should update without any error.
15. b. For those who want TWRP and ROOT:
* Download the latest TWRP (For Le Max 2) and SuperSU from their respective websites. Download and Install ADB and Fastboot From HERE.
* Copy the SuperSU Zip File to the ROOT of the Phone.
* Unzip and Rename the TWRP recovery to Recovery (The file should be Recovery.img.... NOT Recovery.img.img)
* Put the Le Max 2 into Fastboot Mode By Pressing Volume - and Power Button
* Go to the ADB Install Folder and Press Shift & Right Click to get & select “Open command window here“. Confirm Fastboot is working by Entering Command: Fastboot Devices.. You should see a random string of letters followed by the word Fastboot. If you do not see the same..... the installation didn't complete successfully.
* In the Command Window.. Type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
* Enter the following Command: fastboot boot recovery.img
* Once the Phone has entered the Recovery... Flash the SuperSU Zip file and you will have ROOT capabilities.
* Take FULL Backup of your device and then install ANY Custom ROM.
Do let me know your results.
[Update]: There's a simple method you could try to get the Update Option Back in Le Max 2 Phone that arrived with Vendor ROM... Using the default File Manager Tap on the Update.zip file and select Upgrade Option. This will force the phone to Update using the ROM file. This method is for people who could not update through the Stock Recovery and received Errors.
After QFil/flashone my lemax2 still bootloops. I've tried flashing other roms via recovery but it reboots mid installation.
Any advice?
Try Another QFil / Service ROM

My advice is try another Qfil. These files are quite large and hence the one you downloaded might have some corruption.
Try THIS File
Hi, the link to the Leeco website is down...is there any alternative for downloading the latest stable EUI?
I downloaded the 23s from another website, renamed "update" but when I try to update via recovery it fails, cause: corrupted.
Any suggestion on this?
Thanks a lot in advance

You may try to use twrp to flash it, you downloaded version is a twrp backup version...
Thanks for the suggestion but I'm trying to get back to stock for other phone issues... So I wanted to avoid to install twrp, if possible.
Any link to a stock rom that can be updated via stock recovery?
You know I just going to blame Android 7.0 Nougat any chance we can have a CyanogenMod 13 6.01 based foxfi friendly ROM ?

I used the 23s from this link: https://bbs.le.com/zt/eui/le_max2.html
I flashed it from an indian rom. It will change your bootloader to chinese, though (not really an issue). And your recovery too, I guess (don't panic, it's bilingual). It will also update /firmware, and that should help with many issues.
However, there's no need to flash TWRP in order to use it: you can just boot it ( fastboot boot TWRPname.img).
At the last step, my indian rom is not getting flashed. Saying corrupted!!. Yesterday I updated with the same (rom) file from the system updater when I did not root the device.
"[Update]: There's a simple method you could try to get the Update Option Back in Le Max 2 Phone that arrived with Vendor ROM... Using the default File Manager Tap on the Update.zip file and select Upgrade Option. This will force the phone to Update using the ROM file.

Following these steps got the same error.
Edit: I am pretty much sure the developer chinese rom has the issue. It does not let you update with the Indian rom. Pretty bad.
Did anyone succeed to flash the indian rom the phone came with, or any indian rom from these chinese developer rom?

I do have problem (see the post right above). Any Ideas?
Ok so, I did as shown in the topic : https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/help/flash-eui-rom-fastboot-t3525831
download twrp (The one I know didn't had the touchscreen issue)
boot from twrp (wish I had know about it before!)
upload zip file to /sdcard ( here's the catch, while in TWRP in don't have access to adb, the phone doesn't connect to pc or I don't know even I mount it, could be me. So i just put the archive at the root of the phone before booting to twrp from adb)
install rom
reboot
And ... it's ****ING WORKING!*​​​​​​​
Really big thanks to ThE_MarD for his help!
HI, i hv the same problem likes yours with split screen.
Possible to share the steps how you manage to solved it.
Update:
Hi, I just managed to resolved it.
Download the given recovery 19S and save it on a USB drive.
Run twrp and press button wipe as our screen is reversed.
Then look for the file at external drive USB.
Just install it and once it is done..... the screen will return to normal

Hi.
Yes. After "QFIL", i also didn't update my device from DEV ROM with any Stock ROM (Indian or Chinese versions) by "upgrade.zip" without get the "corrupted file" error. So by TWRP, i installed 16S Indian Stock ROM -- TWRP informed that i have "no OS installed" but i proceeded and restarted from TRWP. It initialized the new ROM, and after the first setup, i restarted the device to complete any system operations after the first boot, and i updated the device with the Indian 19S with the EUI updater ( tapped "upgrade.zip" file). The device now have the stock recovery and boot in english (not chinese), and the EUI in all languages available on "India 19S Stock ROM".
Stock ROMS:
Le Max 2 All Official Stock Firmware links
Best regards.

Hey bro, I have the same problem. What twrp you used? When I try to install 16s indian twrp gives an error "Patching system image..." for too much long time, so it stop to install it.

updating failed

So, I just rooted my Huawei P Smart, the 136 update shows up, it does all the install steps, reboots and then says it failed. Do O need to do something on the twrp boot?
Download the full firmware, we lose the option to just update via normal update and we can update with a full system update

Just did that, 2 GB download, tries to install, reboots, goes to twrp, then I reboot to normal system and still says update failed.
Pretty sure you'll need stock recovery to update the "normal" way.

I'm not an expert - I always use HuRUpdater to update. It just requires you to download the (exact) right files, renaming them correctly and (like rooting with Magisk) just simply flashing a single .zip in recovery. In case you try it out, remember rule#1: Always make sure you have a (nandroid)backup.
Here are the relevant lines from my "Huawei-related-findings" text file:
#update
"Depends on how you rooted.
For a successful OTA install your device probably must meet the following criteria
• HUAWEI stock recovery installed
• unaltered /system, /product and /vendor partitions
So if you rooted with a "systemless" method (e.g. Magisk, recent SuperSU) and haven't done other installs/modifications that typically change /system you could try it. And you have to flash stock recovery (i.e. get rid of TWRP temporarily for the OTA install)."

#update
“It's recommended to use a proper custom recovery (with running oeminfo_nvm_server service) like for example*my version of TWRP.
How to use:
Warning: Make sure you know what you are doing and do not flash firmware from other devices.
1. Download firmware files (for official firmware use Huawei Firmware Finder).
2. Put files you want to flash in a seperate folder on sdcard.
Supported zip files to flash are (name must match):
◦ update.zip (use FullOTA file)
◦ update_all_hw.zip
◦ update_data_public.zip
3. Optional: Put recovery.img in same folder if you want to keep custom recovery.
4. Put HuRUpdater zip in same folder.
 5. Select*only HuRUpdater*to flash in custom recovery.
6. Follow instructions on screen. Flashing can take multiple minutes.
Problems:
• If firmware includes factory reset
◦ Factory reset is not supported by custom recovery. Therefore HuRUpdater will flash stock recovery before launching factory reset. After flashing firmware and doing factory reset, you need to flash recovery manually.”

Yes, I'm im the same boat - I guess you also get the "can't have connection" error using the FF app. During the last weeks they had troubles with their service regarding hackers and moving to a new server (according to their telegram group), which have been fixed ("all services working normally now"), and many can use it again - for whatever reason some still can't connect. I tried reinstalling the app, using proxies from different countries - still doesn't let me connect.
But their web interface is working: https://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/ though you can't check iirc, if the firmware has been approved for your IMEI.
According to this post:

You apparently can download this release (2379) if you own this device/board- though the last time I updated mine (.148) I used the 2079 (154226) one despite owning the exact same device. I'm slightly confused about this
I didn't try the above mentioned update myself.
