Please help! - LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hello everyone, from the title you've probably figured that I might be a noob and you'd be correct.
I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. I'm trying to root and add TWRP to my phone, I've searched for a user friendly guide and this: "https://rootthedroid.com/root-leeco-le-max-2-install-twrp-recovery/" is the most user friendly guide I can find.
Something is not installing correctly and I think there are gaps in this guide, I'm pretty good at reading and following directions. I'm able to get into bootloader and Once I think I've installed TWRP the power button + volume down button does nothing when the phone is on except for take a screen shot and eventually shut down. However, when the phone is powered down, I'm able to hold the volume down + power buttons and it will eventually take me back to the bootloader screen but not to TWRP as the guide states it should.
So after this I thought I did something wrong and went to factory reset the phone.... When I initiated factory reset, that brought up the TWRP menu, so it was in fact installed onto the phone. I then continue the instructions in the guide. At the end, the power down + power button function does not work except for powering down the phone and bringing me back to the bootloader screen. I then installed the TWRP app and it still says that the device is not rooted.
I'm hoping someone can point me in the direction of a good thorough guide or please explain to me step by step how to get this thing rooted. I have x829 version and will be using primarily in Ohio if that matters. I'd also like some guidance on what ROM to choose.
Thank you for your time!!!!

You need to go for the right combination brother.....
Volume down with power button will take you to bootloader.....
For TWRP, press Volume up and power button simultaneously......
And for rooting flash magisk and you're good to go.....

This guy's got the right answer.
Please be sure to continue holding power and volume up until the words "recovery" come up on the screen otherwise it will just do a normal boot to Android.
Another method is to enable developer options (about phone and tap build 7 times), then to enable ADB, then use a PC and usb to the phone and use adb reboot recovery.
Also, if it boots to EUI ROM recovery instead of TWRP? It could be EUI ROM overwriting TWRP after flashing via fastboot.
The solution to that issue is to reboot into bootloader, flash recovery TWRP and then to either hold power and volume up to reboot into recovery or to use "fastboot boot TWRP.img" and then do reboot into recovery from there.

Why do we need to flash magisk?

You might get more help if you rename your topic title to something more descriptive.
Second, try searching the forum; this has been discussed in numerous threads on both this forum and the developer's section, along with how to fix it.
Try the threads about the update, or dialing a certain code to force it manually (that's where I learned the timing trick to get into stock recovery on the NS). On the screen you're at, try pressing and holding power, then pressing/holding volume up, that should get you into stock recovery.
Also, if you can get into fastboot, you can fastboot flash the CWM recovery back to the device. If you made an nandroid before doing anything, you can at least go back to the device's state before you tried the update.
i could not find anything on this issue on google or here
i tried doing vol up and power, but its still at the screen, and my computer doesnt recognize my phone
use the instruction on the topic to ROOT the phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875875
and in one of the steps you can use the ADB to push a good ROM back into the phone to be re-flashed
Try just pulling the battery.
If not, you'll have to use fast boot from the SDK. Just follow the howto at the top of this forum to flash original images.
thank you so much!
i locked my bootloader again, and i've been trying to get the 2.3.1 update, but everytime i do try, it freezes at the android warning sign. i also tried installing it via rommanager when i was rooted...whats going on?
any ideas what could be wrong?

Are you able to get into Fastboot?
I wonder if part of your problem is that you relocked the bootloader. (Why'd you do that anyways? No advantage, imo.)
Fastboot oem unlock will completely wipe your phone, I mean WIPE EVERYTHING, including the sdcard (photos, music, some apps' data, etc), but such a wipe might get you back to stock firmware and stock recovery, then at least you could boot up. You could also then reflash CWM.
Before doing that, let's try this if you haven't:
Turn off phone.
Hold vol-up, then press/hold power.
You should then be in fastboot mode.
The timing's critical (on my phone anyways) for this step: Select recovery, and have your hands on the power button and volume button ready to push.
Watch the screen very closely, for a bout a half second or so, the screen will flash a box with an arrow dumping out onto the android dude. While that screen is showing, press/hold the power button, then press/hold the vol up button. Important to do the power button FIRST this time (at least it is on my phone).
You should then be able to get into the stock recovery.
Once there, maybe we can figure out where to go, but we need to know how messed up your phone is at this point.
Once in Recovery, you could try wiping cache if it's an option, then trying to reboot. Worth a shot, but not likely to work.
You could also do the factory reset wipe in there, this one shouldn't wipe your sdcard if there's anything critical/valuable on it. It will reset all your settings and logins and wipe the apps you've installed, though. Again, might let you boot up normally.

Recovery Is Not Seandroid Enforcing

I tried to root my phone S7 Edge 6.1.1 just a moment ago using ODIN and CF Auto Root. I got the PASSES! sign in ODIN but upon phone rebooting I am stuck on the Samsung S7 Edge logo screen with text in red 'Recovery Is Not Seandroid Enforcing" up the top.
At this time I am unable to turn my phone off, when I do it just turns back on and goes to the same screen. I can't get into download or recovery mode either.
Any help on how to fix would by greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Also thought I should add, my phone doesn't get registered when I connect it to my PC either, it wont show up in ODIN so I am unable to flash a stock recovery at this time.
It's trying to boot into recovery.
When you say you rooted with CF Auto Root, what did you do precisely? And did you follow Chainfire's specific instructions regarding the lack of screen output during the process?

Thanks for the reply.
I used CF-Auto-Root-zerolte-zeroltexx-smg925f.tar to root.
The steps I used was to simply put my phone into download mode and use ODIN to flash the file mentioned above. That is as far as I got unfortunately. I did this once before, a few month back when I first got the phone with no issues. I remember having to install TWRP but I couldn't remember if I did that pre-root or post-root. But I think that is where I went wrong.
Now I am unable to do anything with my phone. I can't turn it off, get into download or recovery mode. When I hold down VOL UP+POWER+HOME it just resets the phone back to the samsung logo screen.
Any ideas on what I could do?
You used the CF Auto Root file for an S6 Edge.

OH GOD. You're right. I just realized that. I was supposed to have them saved into their own folders but I guess I saved that one too the wrong folder.
So what does that mean for the life of my phone then? Is it toast or is it recoverable somehow?
What is your model? Is it the SM-G935F? If so, first things first, download the correct CF Auto Root file for your device (here) and try again. Press VOL DOWN+POWER+HOME and it should reboot into Download Mode. Then try to flash the correct file in Odin again.
These phones are very difficult to hard brick, especially with something like CF Auto Root so you should be ok.

Yes, it is a SM-G935F. Unfortunately I am unable to reboot the phone into Download Mode. When pressing VOL DOWN+POWER+HOME it just takes me straight back to the Samsung logo where it says "Recovery Is Not Seandroid Enforcing". I'm hoping that once the battery drains completely I will be able to boot into Download Mode again.
Try simply resetting it instead. Press volume down and the power key (don't press home) for around 7-10 seconds. Once it starts to reset, remove your fingers from the buttons very briefly then press volume down, home and power to enter download mode.

That hasn't worked either unfortunately.
I just found this thread from a guy having a similar problem. He just had to wait for his phone's battery to drain completely and then he was able to enter download mode again.
You shouldn't have to though. If you can get the phone to reset at all (even if it's to make another attempt to go into recovery) then providing you time it right, you should be able to get into download mode. Did keeping your fingers on just the volume down and power buttons do anything? Keep them on continuously for up to 20 seconds and see what happens. Did you say pressing vol up & home & power made it reset and try to again get into recovery? What happens if, as soon as the screen indicated it's resetting, you remove your fingers and quickly press vol down & home & power instead?
Anyway, even if you have to wait until the phone dies, getting into download will be possible eventually. Then worst case scenario would be you having to reflash stock back. Or, as would be my preference, flash TWRP then flash a custom rom zip like Superman.
Just to confirm, I take it you selected OEM Unlock in dev options?

I have never had any trouble getting into recovery or download before so I know the method. But just the properly clarify for you I will explain some of the combination I have tried without success. Bare in mind the phone is constantly turned on and idles on the Samsung logo.
I have tried:
Hold VOL DOWN+POWER+HOME, the phone resets and goes back to the logo.
Hold VOL DOWN+POWER, same as above.
Hold VOL UP+POWER+HOME, nothing happens at all.
Hold VOL UP+POWER, same as above.
Hold VOL DOWN+POWER+HOME, release and repress all on black screen, just goes back to logo.
Hold VOL DOWN+POWER, release and hold VOL DOWN+POWER+HOME on black screen, just goes back to logo.
and numerous other things like random combination to try and enter Download or Recovery mode, which have all failed.
Right now it's just stuck on the Samsung logo and staying there, taking forever to drain battery. I work in the morning so hopefully it is dead by then and I can get into Download mode.
Have already started download stock firmware in hopes that I will be able to flash it after.
Thanks a bunch for your help. If you think of anything else I might be able to try let me know!
Oh wow. 100+ attempts and I followed your last post about holding for up to 20 seconds. I was waiting ~5 seconds and releasing thinking that it hadn't worked.
Finally go into Download mode and will flash stock firmware and let you know how I go.
Thanks again! I owe you a cold one.
EDIT: Was no need to flash stock firmware. Just flashed the proper version of CF Auto Root and it worked. Again, thank you so much!
Fantastic. Hope you get it sorted.
On a side note, you have probably already tripped knox and you will have lost you OS data and possibly even what you have stored on internal storage. If so, I suggest you install TWRP, format data (you will lose everything with this but it removed encryption) and install a custom rom like Superman 1.9 from your external SD. It's better than plain stock and comes pre-rooted with plenty of other mods.
I can't get it to work? What keys did you held down?

recovery is not seandroid enforcing
hello,
my S7 Edge was rooted with cf-auto-root and worked fine but after 2 monthe I've installed LBE_Security_Rel_6.1.1928_A1_DE_v5_signed and reconized the message device is not tooted.
I was not very clever and cofirmed the question "fix the root problem" I don't remember exactly the words. After that root was gone.
I've flashed the stock Fw G935FXXU1APD1_G935FDRE1APC3_DRE but I still have the message "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" after trying to root with CF auto root.
AP:G935FXXU1APD1
CP:G935FXXU1APD1
CSC:G935FDRE1APC3
Is there any way to get root again
Any help on how to fix would by greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Simply hold down Home + Power + Volume Down for 10-15 seconds - don't release when the phone initially reboots and gives the same error, keep them held down and download mode will appear. I have to hold for 11 seconds, a strangely unrounded number.
Hello Guys I have this Same issue Yesterday....... This happens when you flash outdated CF Autoroot. CF Autoroot Updated on 25/08/2016... Download it...
Fix for Stuck in Logo Screen
Just Click and Hold ...... Vol Down + Menu + Power Keys ...... DO NOT RELEASE. IT Will Restart. DONT release. It will restart again and you will be download mode.
i found this during the rooting process. its a bit different to older samsungs on the s7 / s7edge. YOU HAVE TO KEEP HOLD OF VOL DOWN + HOME + POWER until it enters download mode, which can be 20-25 seconds

Successfully semi-rooted softbank 305sh from Chinese TWRP backup

Dear comrade,
With tewilove's root apk, I was able to install twrp. Later, with TWRP I was able to restore a 305sh-s0020-cn_working.rar downloaded from baidu successfully which has with supersu.
However, wasn't satisfied with the s0020 version of the rom, tried to upgrade it with firmware Sharp-305SH-firmware-0106.zip even the recovery partition is totally blown up.
Now even the sharp logo doesn't come up.
Nothing works only black screen. Phone vibrates after pressing 10s power button.
Is there anything I can do to unbrick this phone?
I tried everything to go to download mode or recovery mode or adb mode none available.
Any wise man out there can flash the rom so I can use this wonderful phone again? I'm able to do the basic soldering and minor development.
Sorry it's kinda development topic but couldn't upload there as I'm new to this site sorry.
Thank you all.

Press the volume button + (in the off state) and not releasing to connect to the computer (hold until the beep)
Then through ADB command to write "adb reboot recovery"

I've tried it but not working. It just vibrating after few seconds and not even connected.
Device not found all the time. It's quite evident that I blow up the recovery partition with wrong image.
I wish I can do some firm flash at rom level.

Flashed the wrong Kernel version, what now? <SOLVED>

<SOLVED>
I am still pretty new to Android and modding so be gentle..............
Should have know better. Flashed the latest Omega Kernel on my 6T while watching the kiddos practice for an upcoming belt test. I know I don't mulit task!
Flashed the Android 10 version on my Android 9 phone. Realized what I did when it would go past the bootloader unlocked warning. Eventually it went to the qualcomm dump mode then rebooted.
Now I can't get it to do anything. It is stuck on that screen. Power button does nothing. My theory is if I can get into recovery I can just flash the correct previous version of Omega that is on the phone.....but without a working power button I am stuck. Computer does not even see the phone when I plug it in.
What now?
Many thanks in advance.
Use the MSM Tool method to un brick your phone. Look for the forum in the Roms, Kernels... Section.
You're going to loose all data.
I will get over losing my data. I don't have a windows machine at the house. I will have to go to our shop to use that horrible OS. Thanks for the intel.
You can fix this issue in minutes without requiring to run MSM Tool or lose any data. I faced a similar issue myself few days ago and got it running back again by doing the follows:
Boot your device into fastboot mode, download the latest boot.img (stock or any other kernel) and TWRP and type these in command line:
1) Fastboot flash boot.img
2) Fastboot boot twrp.img
3) Your device will boot into TWRP Recovery, so flash TWRP installer zip so it sticks.
4) Reboot to recovery again and flash Magisk or Full Rom OTA.
You should be fine then.

Is your power button broken by any chance?
If it isn't, then hold volume up + power button for a few minutes and it will reboot to Fastboot screen.
Edit: Also try volume down + power button if volume up does nothing. Make sure you hold either of the combination for a few minutes until you get a haptic feedback. Google "Boot OnePlus 6T into Fastboot mode" and follow the instructions there. Once in Fastboot, follow what I wrote in my previous reply.

Holding the power button does nothing.
Power + down volume does nothing.
Discovered power + up button WILL turn the phone off. It also just brings it back to the "bootloader unlocked" warning page. It won't bring it to fastboot mode.
Makes sense as recovery is now part of the boot.img instead of a partition. I am assuming fastboot is also part of the boot.img. If that is the case there is no way to get into fastboot with an Android 10 kernel on my Android 9 phone. ..... I think

Should've said seconds, my bad, but your reply is hilarious...lmao xD
Turns out holding all 3 buttons did the trick....in a weird FUBAR kind of way.
1st time it popped into fastboot. Figured what the hell, tried to reboot, nope.
2nd time just booted back to the warning screen.....okay, freaked out again.
Got back into fastboot, flashed twrp, rebooted to the warning screen. SH*T!
Got back to fastboot, flashed twrp, damn thing booted into the os as if nothing had ever happened.
Held my breath, downloaded the correct kernel, rebooted to recovery, flashed, rebooted system. Everything is good.
Guess the a/b partition maybe?
Anyway, problem solved, headache over, NO DATA LOST.
Thank you everyone!

That would be my guess. It should just switch to the functional slot if the other isn't (properly) booting but I've experienced this system to behave quite erratically. I presume these are childhood diseases of a relatively new Android partitioning system.
Back in the 'old' system all you should've done was boot to recovery (which couldn't be corrupted by the OS!) and dirty flash either a working kernel or the original (stock) ROM that includes the kernel.
Anyway, glad you retained all your data! Thanks for updating the title and OP with a solved tag

Basically when I flashed via Odin, I then install Magisk. Then everything is working and rooted BUT when I restart my phone my Magisk is then magically unrooted (I dont know if this is the right term) it says 'Magisk is not installed' and underneath that is says 'Magisk Manager is up to date'
So why does it keep doing this? Everytime this happens I need to Flash again via Odin and do the whole procedure again. This only happens when I restart the phone. Why does it keep doing this and how do I fix this? I will pay someone who can fix this for me. Ive been trying to figure out for the past day and Im going insane. I have no knowledge about rooting etc like i said i just want to play Pokemongo location spoofing.
Appreciate everyones help.
If you are on the stock ROM, you need to restart into recovery to activate Magisk.
Hi what is a stock rom and do I have that? What is this recovery? Sorry I am new

How do I do that?
You can press Power + Bixby + Volume Up then after seeing the bootloader warning screen, release all buttons so it can boot to the system.
You can also enable advanced restart in developer options.
Stock ROM is the one that comes with the phone.

Hi yes I remember doing the 'Power + Bixby + Volume Up' after flashing. So that part is done unless I'm doing something wrong?
What is this advance restart in developer options? Where is that and what does it do? If I do this what do I do after? Will this fix the Magisk not installed when I restart my phone? Also when I turn off my phone and turn it back on it works and it keeps Magisk so its just restarting the phone that is causing the problem.
Appreciate your help
So this topic is the same as the other one I replied to hence the "double vision" comment.
I believe you need to Power + Bixby + Volume Up every time you restart.
Advanced restart will allow you to enable rebooting into recovery (magisk mode), so you don't need to press the button combo, unless you need the actual recovery.
What guide did you use to install magisk?

If I press that when I restart phone then isn't that risky? If I mess up then I need to format my phone again to get magisk again?
Whats this advance rebooting? Will this fix my problem?
I followed this video https://youtu.be/o3a8YnWT3yk
Just looking at that video I'm not sure if advanced restart is an option on the stock ROM, i use LineageOS (custom ROM).
The button combo shouldn't be risky, if you hold it for too long just select the option to restart and try again.

I'm really confused so which part of the video am I suppose to do?
Since you already have magisk, you need to press the button combo every time you restart, if you want magisk.
Pressing the button combo activates magisk., and holding the button combo activates the recovery.

OK so everything I restart my phone I need to hold down bixy, volume up and power? When do i stop holding down the combo? Also let's say I mess up will my magisk not work or can I restart my phone again and do the combo or do I have to re flash via Odin and format phone? Sorry I just want to make sure because I've re flashed and formated my phone about 90000 times ?
Thank you
