Hi all,
Recently, I go through this forum and found there are many custom roms ready for this Le Pro3 phone. After consider the hardware specification and cost, finally I procured Le Pro3 (x720) phone.
However, when I received this phone, I found the latest EUI already installed (EUI 5.9.026s). When I go through the instructions provided by XDA forum, I found there almost no way to unlock the bootloader of this phone if this came with EUI 5.9.026s.
Can someone tell me if there is a way to unlock this bootloader if this phone is came with EUI 5.9.026s? If not, can I still can refresh my phone with some custom roms (like Omni rom on lineage OS?)
Thanks
I have no trouble with my x720, first time flashed customs on 20s, but few days ago returned from stock 26s to custom. Can't you unlock your phone?
No luck on unlock.
I believe you already installed TWRP before upgrade to 26s, so you can falsh back to previous version.
Have you official ROM and followed the unlock guide?
I follow the unlock Guide but no luck. I go through few discussion in XDA forum, seems some major changes in OS permission settings on 26s rom
Maybe flash 23s, wipe then try?
I cannot try it, but maybe it's possible to fool the update system. By modifying the update script of a 23s OTA file you can bypass the check for rom and modem version, then the system will execute a "downgrade" from 26s to 23s. This theorically, I can't try if it really works but the right path can be this! Cheers!
Sent from my LEX720 using XDA Labs
I did downgrades from 20s to 18s and from 23s to 20s... Seems buggy, but after wipes worked perfectly.
@marik1
How did you do the downgrade? Is the way you downgraded possible with a locked bootloader? Thank you.
(I am considering buying a Le Pro 3, but I will probably wait until I know that unlocking the bootloader is possible with the new EUI installed.)
For me it's simply flashing file with ROM called "update.zip" and placed into main folder trough LeEco's recovery. Like making update, but with different file.
I tested qfil by following the thread here to flash the previous rom but no luck, when I use qfil, I am quite sure the phone is connected ( I can see the com port), the process started(rom are unzipping), but when the system try to write on the disk, the process failed. I wonder if there are any permission/encryption settings applied on the partition of 26s rom, and not sure if I can downgrade due to partition permission.
BTW, where can I download 23s rom? and how to modify the script to prevent version check? thanks

Where to download this file? and the file should place on main folder but not root folder, right?
Just flash it, without changing version checking. You can take it from LeEco website;
https://bbs.le.com/zt/eui/le_pro3.html
You can also have trouble with connect, so you have to remove :110 from link and you gain;

Developer options，unlock OEM
Can someone confirm that unlock works for new devices which are shipped with the new software version? @andylcm please let us know if you get it working. thanks

the problems have been fixed.
Actually, I follow the unlock guide here, the problems was on this bootloader unlock guide but not on the phone itself.
@andylcm
Could you please explain what you did differently from the guide?
Is this the guide you are referring to? https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/leeco-le-pro-3-root-t3476560
I know that device info command shold be device-info

Hello, ive been surfing this forum for a while, it helped me to change the firmware of my NXT-AL10 to the international versión, using Fastboot but the versión i was able to install is very old, (NXT-C900B133), it has a few bugs, but at least i got rid of the chinesee software.
Now im trying to update to the new Emui 4.1 the B320 firmware or the newest available, but i allready tried to updated using the dload method, but didnt work, i tried at least 3 diferent firmware version, the only version that i havent tried is the NXT-AL10 – NXT-AL10C00B350 because i believe that it will install again the chinesee version.
Can anyone point me on how to update my NXT-AL10 to the newest international version available without bricking my phone?
i apreciate!
It's supposed to be as easy as flashing the B321 firmware via twrp, just as you would flash any ROM regardless of which variant of the phone you've got. I'm not sure what you're doing wrong here.

Thanks, the truth is that i have technically zero experience with this, it was actually a miracle how i flashed it, i use this thread to find my way to do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/howto-load-international-mate-8-t3293619 but i have no idea on how to use twrp.
On the guide that i followed, it was very detailed, it had the download links, and i even had to pay 4 Euro to get my phone bootloader unlocked, but the guide was very explicit.
Now that the booloader is unlocked, and i have a flashed rom, what would be the method, is there a guide like the first one, but with the latest firmware?
I want to buy this phone from spemall,and i readed the us and europe version is unlockable but not so much info on the chinese version.It's also have oem unlock option and require 4 digit pin code.I read one guy able to unlock it on port 9008,but its not so much info about it.
So somebody knows how to unlock chinese version in proper way?
Any progress? Still trying to find the proper twrp recovery file to flash but no luck as the ones I can find are giving me a black screen. The one in the other forum is a dead link so I am waiting for it to come back so I can try flash that :/ I am trying to bootloader unlock and also try flashing either nougat a2017U and also a2017G since I don't like the Chinese rom.

Hey guys,
I bought a X722 version of Le Pro 3 a few days ago on Banggood. I know about the disadvantages of this particular version, but I'm fine with staying on EUI (I used Small EUI by Aurel on my old Le Max 2 and I was happy with it.) But I'm wondering about the ROMs.
The phone will come with international version of EUI (I think it's modded 20s,) as it does from the other abroad shops. Here's my question. I know that this version doesn't have OTA updates. Is it worth it to put in the official ROM and then update to the last one (26s) with the locked bootloader? Because some people say that it's worth it, some say it isn't - but I didn't find any changelogs or anything that would prove me that anyone of those two groups is right.
Also various sources tell that X722 has an unlocked bootloader with the default international version of ROM. That's fine, but what are the advantages of it, talking strictly about X722? It looks like there isn't any TWRP and root available for this phone (and if it is, can someone post a link please?) so what is the advantage then? Or do I just have bad info and those are available?
Thanks
Manual from X720/X727 is applicable to X722. You can install TWRP and SuperSU
Thank you, that's awesome to know! So many topics and articles about X722 say that you can't put those on it, so I was kind of already accepting the fact that I'll just end with everything stock. So that kind of answers even my second question - there's no point in going to the version with locked BL, even though it's newer. Thanks again.
Hi,
I also had an x722. I got EUI 5.8.0.20S with the Shopping ROM from GeekBuying. Installing TWRP worked but after I tried to flash the newest official ROM the phone bricked and there was no hope because the bootloader is locked. Now I shipped it back to GeekBuying.
Thank you for the info, that's really good to know - so no ROM flashing for me, absolutely not worth the risk.
1. There is no TWRP for X722
2. There are people installing TWRP for X720
3. Almost all X722 brick happens when upgrading to 26S by TWRP
4. I would not use TWRP of X720
5. If you want to update to 26S (bootloader is blocked) updates from phone, NOT FROM TWRP OF X720.
Greetings.
Thanks a lot for the info! So the problem is in the not fully compatible TWRP, not in the ROM itself. I don't want to update to 26S anymore, but I guess TWRP from X720 is good enough for root and flashing other stuff than whole ROMs, so that's it.
Global Rom is officialy out!
it turns out 9.6.4.0.OEDMIFD is a real global rom with a broken modem.
just update to newer releases that might fix the issue.
You cant just flash the global rom over an Antirollback rom as the global rom doesnt have Antirollback. (it will brick your device)
Guide to installing global rom on antirollback devices & installing global rom with fixed modem (for calls and internet) over china rom (no ARB): here
Download Links for Official Global Rom: here
Antirollback information: here
Thanks and have a great day!

Hello there people!
our lovely new Mi Max 3 is now available for purchase on many websites.
These websites sell you a "MULTILANGUAGE rom" or "Global Rom".
The version that they sell is 9.6.4.0.OEDMIFD
Unfortunately this rom is FAKE / Un-Official and is dangerous for your device!
Why? because to install this shady rom they need to unlock your bootloader unofficialy and install a rom which was not originaly designed for Mi Max 3! this rom bricks some partitions of your device and may cause a lot of issues later! Some say that this rom may cause damage to the ability to flash roms and more onto your device or to move to official rom / xiaomi.eu rom
THERE ISNT ANY OFFICIAL GLOBAL ROM AVAILABLE FOR MI MAX 3 YET!
I suggest not to buy the Mi Max 3 with a "MULTILANGUAGE rom" or "Global Rom". (Please notice that some people that have asked not to install the fake rom got their devices with the fake rom even though they asked!)
Be patient and wait for official global rom from en.miui.com
Have a great day!

I suggest flashing the latest china beta rom using fastboot mode
MAKE SURE THAT YOUR BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED
download: here
after that flash xiaomi.eu rom
tutorial: here
Why do you need to flash both the china beta rom and the xiaomi.eu rom?
The flashing of xiaomi.eu does not delete everything previously installed anyway?

Fastboot china rom will wipe all partitions and reinstall them.
Xiaomi.eu recovery rom only changes the SYSTEM partition, remember you are coming from a fake rom so you might not want to have broken partitions from the flashing of the fake rom.
My Max 3 comes with this so-called "Global" ROM.
I checked my bootloader and it says Unlocked. So yesterday I downloaded CN ROM and flashed it via fastboot.
Ok, I understand. "fastboot china rom" means it should only be installed through fastboot? or its also possible through custom recovery?

MAKE SURE THAT YOUR BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED BEFORE DOING THIS OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE
Fastboot roms are flashed through a special tool by xiaomi which can be found: here
You also might need adb drivers which are found: here
1. Open the drivers file and click "y" for every option that it asks for.
1. Install the fastboot tool tool
2. Download the fastboot rom that you wanna flash
3. Unzip the rom to a folder on your pc
4. Open the tool and in bottom right corner there will be 3 options, select "clean all"
5. Click on the "select" button on top left corner and head to the folder that you unziped, select it.
6. On your device enable "USB debugging", "install via USB", "USB Debugging (security settings)", and disable "verify apps over USB" (Developers options are enabled by going to "about phone" then spam clicking the "MIUI version" until it says that your are a developer. then go to "additional setting" and you will find "developer options")
7. Boot your device to fastboot mode by holding down the vol- + power key together until you see a bunny with fastboot sign.
8. Connect your device to your PC and click the "refresh" button on top right corner. (your phone should now appear in the list)
9. Click "flash" and wait until your device boots to the MI logo and 3 dots. (DONT DISCONNECT YOUR DEVICE BEFORE THAT!!!)
10. Wait for your device to boot up
11. Enjoy!
Hi, So if I buy with China ROM (Outside China - I live in Thailand) I can download and change to Global ROM once it's released?
China ROM will still get updates, though right?
Sorry for numpty question!
This is the ROM on my girlfriends Mi Max 3.
Thanks for the info but it would also be good if you posted up how to check if the bootloader is unlocked seeing how important it is before doing any steps.
Also you state that for the people to put on the fake ROM they had to unlock the bootloader in the first place so would they then relock the bootloader? Won't all phones with fake ROMs have unlocked bootloaders?

Check if you can install twrp, if you can its unlocked.
You may never know...
This procedure work on 128 Gb mi max 3 ?
Thank you
I ordered a one from Eternal Team on Ali before I seen this and asked them about the fake rom and the bootloader after it was sent this is the reply .....
Dear friend:
Welcome to our store . /:000
Sorry for the late reply .
It's locked . But you could use the Google play and use all the function normally . If you need use the Mi service . You need unlock it by yourself .
Please check this link:http://en.miui.com/unlock/

Thanks for the advice and I really appreciate your help but could you give some clearer step by step instructions as many people are not coming from a Xiaomi world. I come from Note4 and for me to install TWRP I do this using Odin but;
1) In simple step by step guide, how do you install TWRP on the Mi Max 3?
2). How do you unlock the bootloader - I go to https://en.miui.com/unlock/ and it starts in English then the next page is in Mandarin so not good to me.
These and other basics instructions are needed to be clearly detailed in a thread as there will be many people following me with the same questions/issues.

1. yes go: here
2. You need to create a mi account on global forums and then use them to apply, assign the account to your phone in developer settings and unlock your phone after you got perms. search for a vid on how to unlock the bootloader on xiaomi devices on YT for a better guide.
Thanks for the info.

Excellent, thanks that is much clearer.
I checked this video on youtube for checking 'locked bootloader' and also how to unlock.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zL2omn9PGc4
I did not need to unlock becasue as I rightly guessed the bootloader is still unlocked. (pic attached). This is on both the Mi Max 3's that I have.
So I'll just start the process of flashing the Chinese ROM (to make sure of partition integrity) via Fastboot and then installing TWRP, and then flash the Xiaomi.eu ROM.
OK omer919, thanks to you I have flashed the Chinese MUI10 Fastboot ROM.
Unfortunately the link to the TWRP instructions is not good at the moment as the TWRP link in that thread is not working and the thread is now closed.
Do you (or anyone else) have a working link to TWRP for Mi Max 3 so I can install the Xiaomi.eu ROM?
Hi all, new user here
I'd like to install for the very first time a custom ROM on my phone, a Zenfone Max Pro M1 (ZB602KL).
LOS for microG seems what I need, but before starting I spent some time reading the official LOS wiki and the XDA forum, and now I'm a bit confused...
The LOS wiki (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/X00TD/install) says I have to use the official ASUS tool to unlock the bootloader, but a post on the XDA forum says "If you have unlocked bootloader officially then even after relocking bootloader the OTA functionality does not work. Asus server blacklist your phone serial number and imei so you can't receive any OTA".
So perhaps I should use TWRP? There's no official version but I found this one, can I use it on my phone? https://forum.xda-developers.com/as...ent/recovery-unofficial-twrp-3-2-3-0-t3888110
Also I assume instructions for X00TD are "compatible" with my ZB602KL, is that correct?
Sorry for the long post and thanks for your help!
You're right, unofficial unlock involves using the fastboot commands script and OTA still works that way. Search and try different recovery versions to see if they fit your need.
Thanks, I'll try installing with TWRP then.
