New-Phone Some Assistance please? - LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers

Well hello good sir or mam!
I seem to be in quite the pickle, but i hope you can help
You see, i just bought this phone on amazon and will be arriving in two days. I read the review and the hardware is amazing but the software makes you want to question why haven't murdered a tub of puppies.
The cute kind. :angel:
Well I want to put Lineage OS 15.1 on there. But i haven't the faintest idea how...
WAIT! Hold that mouse! I know what your about to do.
I have searched the forums and watched tons of you-tube videos but none say how to do it properly or the guy talks with such a accent i cant understand him.
So can someone post like a super noob guide for me.
All i know is that i want a new OS but no idea on how to get it.
:highfive:I look forward to your assistance. :highfive:
Please and thank you!

That's for the x722. Just don't flash stock 26s through TWRP. Not difficult to understand. Doesn't apply to other versions of the Pro3 like the x720 or x727.

I do, i got the abd and fastboot files needed, and i also changed the address on the advanced setting option on my computer

I always put the files like twrp on my desktop.then before I flash the file I will change directory to Desktop then flash it.

Look on the box, in the manual, at the back of the phone. The easiest way to tell is if you've got a Snapdragon 821 or not. If you do, you have an x720 (or x727, which is the U.S. version).

Well, I'm sorry to say that it's impossible to work, since the variant degaslte (which contains connectivity, 4G aka LTE) has another processor, so it will not work, you will not be able to install it, the processor of the T230 variant is the Marvell PXA1088, while the T235 (LTE VERSION) has the processor exynos. That is why the development of roms takes a long time for this variant

Hey,
I got some questions , T230nu stock , I have been readin all the threads on twrp and root threads for t230nu pa1, as this stock rom is only good for vids, so i am totally confused how to best load y8ur latest creation 4.4.4 too make this paperweight usable
So ya i am new to droid but really these threads are totally miffed, like whats the deals with twrp? From what i can tell i have to load 2.7.8.4 or under then i can upgrade to 3.1.1.1degaswifi, or do i have to unlock bootloader first, these dang threads just do not explain properly, i have wasted we3k read7ng them, i swear i feel l am dealing with the government circlejrkm one thread says root first ,when i get to end it reveals if you already have twrp, so i goto twrp and read and those threads lead back if you have root and/or prior twrp install ! what gives even the twrp main website is jqcked with the prior install gunk.
Oh and i just love the thread that starts with " I am going too assume you have abd bootloader unlocked allready" REALLY
So can you maybe point me to a proper guide so i can get this paperweight too qctually work because it is my only inet access rite know and the stock rom is horrible

FYI, paperweight in Android terms, means, it is a hard bricked device. The Tab 4 don't have a locked bootloader. Any TWRP for SM-T230 / NU, will work to install my Android 4.4.4 ROM, https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/development/sm-t230-nu-unofficial-cm-11-based-t3648887.
Secretwolf,
Thanks for the fast reply, for me any device thats basically useless is a paperweight, but i"ll keep in mind that ya"ll use the term meaning for bricked.
So i am going togo buddies today and try to load the lastest twrp, d3gaswifi1100.img . I just cant afford major issues as i dont have easy access to pc to fix it. Seems you and others have been using the eur version is that because the usa doesnt work ?As i am in usa and planned on using that version, i take the eur with incase,
Well gotta give up today as just tryin to type with thing is horr7ble , and i have todo a restore once a week just so the browser will load inet. This keyboard is horrid

Interesting find Possible Eng bootloader firmware?

So I have not been able to obtain this firmware but figured I'd share to see what you ladies/gents could figure out.
http://www.romup.com/search?version=G950USQU1AQCF
Also there is a thread in general discussion and questions section regarding an All_OYN_G950USQU1AQC8 firmware.
idk, seems pretty fishy to me, every I link I see is to pay to download sites for this file. You would think that there would be somewhere online where its free. Probably a bogus download.
lots of scams out there
Sent from my SM-N930F using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I actually paid for a damn firmware this morning All_OYN_G950USQU1AQC8 and received the download from sams-eng.com . Later however I found it for free. Oh well. Haha.

Can you link it please! Where did you find the free one?
I found the free one for the 955 and 950 i was able to find the unlock bootloader option through it not sure if it will work. Was more interested in the boot.img
Not saying it isn't a scam, but romup is actually a fairly reputable site. People posting leaked firmware all the time straight from the factory. A few other Asian sites like this one have some juicy stuff, not just for Exynos/other unlocked loader models. So don't discourage it, translate it and see what they have to say and maybe even test it. I personally don't want to take the risk with my phone but someone kinda has to. Anyways, done with my little rant.
Would this Engboot be good for snapdragon variants? I remember the S7 Edge had a locked bootloader, but you could still atleast root it

Im working on this right now. Give me a little bit had a kid last year so im trying my best to get this done right now while i have time.
Wait so do you have a copy of that firmware? I can't obtain that one bc I have no way of paying in yuan.
Also is there a way to flash a firmware where root is natively in the firmware? I always thought we had to unlock the bootloader and root and then flash recovery. Unless it was the recovery that always tripped knox.
Hi Br3w3r,
I just wanted to say thanks and ask you a little about how you coerce these engineering firmwares to allow root mode. Do you reverse engineer it? Just curious.
Found a newer version of ODIN and enabled the grayed out buttons. Maybe it could help?
ODIN 3.12.7 with UMS and USERDATA already enabled: https://mega.nz/#F!8WxRwDwa!seZLQVSoWTrz2CJkbdxTkQ
Interesting... so if I am reading this right. Someone is trying to work on snapdragon now?
I have purchased a copy of the firmware posted by the OP, although it was bought off of a different website. This is a factory binary, that has SElinux as permissive, OEM unlock says it unlocks bootloader, etc

Didn't got the System Update App on my x722

Hi guys,
hopefully someone can help me here, cause the support can't...
About the Phone: Bought it from Geekbuying. It was shipped from Hong Kong to Germany. Installed Android is 6.0.1 and EUI is 5.8.020S, also Android Security Patch is from 1st August 2016. The phone isn't rooted or the bootloader isn't unlocked, too. Also TWRP isn't installed. So it's a fresh LePro 3 Elite. Like i said: I can't find the System Update option in the settings. I didn't know that much about ROMs so you guys have to answer in more details to me. I read something about "Shopping ROM", maybe this is what i got and I just need the original ROM from the Website?
I am already so sad because i can't find anything on the Internet and i think this is the last chance to get some good help here.
Thanks for the answers...
If you don't have system updates option in settings, and you have Google Play pre-installed, that means you have a factory installed shop ROM for international customers.
Stock ROM have system updates in the settings, no Google Play as Google is not available in China at all, and a ****load of pre-installed Chinese crapware...

Hm, that means if I install the Stock ROM from LeEco i won't get the Google Play Store automatically and many chinese apps?
And how about if I install a custom ROM?
That's right, stock ROM doesn't have anything Google in it (no Google account, no Play store...) and a lot of Chinese crapware. You need to install Google manually (via Google apps v2 apk for instance) and need to root the ROM to uninstall all the crapware...
You still can update by flashing zip. Power the phone while holding volume up, you'll go to stock recovery where you can flash stock rom.
I don't own a x722, and I think there isn't many custom ROMs for this model. Also I think a few had issue with stock ROM on this model. Checkout the x722 subforum.
Hm okay. Can you tell me a little bit in more details how I can flash update the device and which ROM versions should I download (5.9.0.23S or .26S)? Also I only found these ROMs for the x722 but theoretically it should work?!
Edit: After I flashed the new ROM I will got the System Update settings?
I don't know exactly as I never used the stock recovery: I flashed TWRP instead. I don't know if TWRP is available for x722 though.
And yes with stock ROM you have the System Update item in Settings.
Latest is 26s, but some people prefer 23s. I have stock 26s on my x720.
Okay thank you, maybe I wait for someone who got a x722 too.
Τhe procedure for updates is pretty much the same on all android phones, as ZeblodS wrote to you. You have to download the official rom from leeco website(http://bug.letv.com/cn/download/phone/80). But you need a download manager to download the rom, I think. Then you copy-paste the file into your phone memory and rename into "update.zip". Then you switch off the phone and press together power and volume up buttons. So you are into recovery, you choose update in the menu and then the "update.zip" file. Generally this is the procedure. In my opinion sheck out into many sites and find a detailed guide. Be careful because any mistake might brick the phone. I just describe a general guide to you. Do it at your own risk. Sorry for my english

No need to change the name of the file with TWRP, I didn't and it worked with my x720 each times (and I tried a lot of ROMs...)
Sorry for your infortune, are you sure you got the correct ROM for x722 and not the one for x720/x727?
So far I never bricked my phone by flashing a ROM, but I've read several topics on this forum about a tool named QFIL to save bricked LeEco phones. Maybe try to look this way, but I never had to use it so I cannot help you more with it unfortunately...
Soooo... I can't get into Recovery Mode (It Boots and it instant turned off). Also it stucks on the LeEco screen. I only can boot into Fastboot mode. I just downloaded the ROM from http://bug.le.com/cn/download/phone/80 with the JDownloader 2 and put it into the Internal Storage. After this I rebooted into TWRP, factory reseted the Phone and started to flash this ROM. Because of the factory reset Unlock-OEM from Developer Options is turned off.
Edit: The EUI before was 5.8.0.20S

If you flashed a ROM for x720/x727 it's normal you have bootloop: they are not compatible with x722. That's why there's a specific subforum for x722 ROM (but only stock ROM seem to exist for x722, it's not a popular device...)

No, unbricking in nearly impossible. I tried to flash the new firmware with TWRP. I downloaded the firmware from http://bug.letv.com/cn/download/phone/80 with JDownloader 2.
I think the last chance to unbrick is with the QFIL tool from Qualcomm, but for this I need some more files. I just wrote an email to the chinese support of LeEco (USA doesn't support the model!!). Let's hope they give me the correct files to unbrick it... Also I want to search for the right Handy repair store (No one wants to repair it...)

How To Root easily without any kind of Tools and installing OTAs - beginner's Guide.

Hello,
my aim here is to sort out things easily for beginner's, hence I made a detailed video on How To Root and Unlock Bootloader using TWRP and Magisk with the help of ADB drivers and Magisk. :laugh:
which is,
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery xxx.img
flash the TWRP and Magisk, you have a rooted device.
I have made a detailed Video, check it out,
Links are provided in the description and I will be updating it.
TWRP Credits to @eng.stk
Magisk Credits to @topjohnwu
while updating your ROM,
Flash the FULL ROM ZIP
Wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache
Flash Masgik
to be on the safer side, reboot.
backup stock kernel
flash the custom kernel
you will continue to get the OTAs but in FULL ZIPs, not in Incremental Updates.
ROMs are updated here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...-5t-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-t3708099/page5

yes, I have already updated, although I wouldn't suggest to flash now.
it has issues with Data Restore, stay on Unofficial for now.
Uh, ADB and Fastboot are tools. I'm betting more than 3/4 of first time flashers have most of their problems with drivers for ADB and Fastboot.
Just sayin.....

I'll be getting the OP5 T next month, so i'll be checking out your video then. As I definitely want to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP straight away
Nice video. Perhaps the phone portions could zoom in a little more, but you mention in the video links but I didn't see them. It would be helpful in your first post to have the links to adb/fb, recommended twrp, and magisk. That will save N00b from hunting around for the drivers and packages. Also when I make videos I tend to stay away from version numbers because they are always changing, that is why it's easier to update in the post, unless you expect to keep updating the video. HTH

Nice video. Perhaps the phone portions could zoom in a little more, but you mention in the video links but I didn't see them. It would be helpful in your first post to have the links to adb/fb, recommended twrp, and magisk. That will save N00b from hunting around for the drivers and packages. Also when I make videos I tend to stay away from version numbers because they are always changing, that is why it's easier to update in the post, unless you expect to keep updating the video. HTH

I am going to update the tools in the folder I mentioned and the links are in the description and comments section of the video.

If I use this method of rooting, I will be able to do OTA updates?

Flash GSI Roms on Razer Phone 2!

While looking around and trying to compile TWRP and getting errors doing so, I have finall come accross a solution as to how to get GSI roms to boot, it seems we needed special flash instructions and im eve gonna test some other things later. But without further do, here are the instructions!
Step 1: Go here and read instructions CAREFULLY! "https://www.xda-developers.com/flash-generic-system-image-project-treble-device/"
Step 2: We need special flash instructions so flash this command. "fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img" (Special flashing instructions here https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...18&postcount=2)
Step 3: if it doesnt work, try again. I am currently booting into Phh-Treble.
Step 4: Rejoice as we can now get away from stock!
Credits where credit is due !
UPDATE: Okay so, pretty sure dm-verify is making it so it doesnt fully boot :/ still working on it.
Good News?

Will do, rooting is fairly easy. is the att version? or global. i have the att version but flashed the global version stock rom.
I believe its the global version. I don't have att network.

what you want to do is downlaod the stock rom, unzup it to desktop. copy your boot.img to your phone. download magisk manager from the xda thread. install the manager and then patch the boot.img. reboot the phone and you'll see it in your downlads. copy that to your stock rom folder (you'll need adb and fastboot files). run the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and youre rooted. but at this current time root is kinda pointless.
also... be sure to check out the root guide first. forgot you need to unlock bootloader and critical.

I'm kind of a noob in this regard. Can I PM you to get further Details on the rooting?
"but at this current time root is kinda pointless."
Also your right about this. There's currently no effective use for it right now. But there will soon be more in the future for the phone i believe. I think more people are starting to communicate and experiment with the RP2

Yea I can't find any reason so far to root or custom ROM.
Hmm, I thought I had tried that. Guess I'll go anywhere try again ?

i read more on the razer forum that it was the same with them as well, except they can flash pie roms too using a baked boot image with magisk in it.

Does everything work? Are you able to change the displays refresh rate and resolution or the logo backlight? Do you have WiFi and speaker issues? I'm really just after better stability
