Anyway to retrieve data from a *dead* LeEco Le Pro3 (x727) - LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers

I am unable to boot up the device. I tried all (power + Vol Up) key combos, not working. Is there anyway to pull data out from the device?

No fastboot or custom recovery ?
Then no theirs nothing really to do
Maybe a battery replacement would boot it up

No fastboot or custom recovery. I'm wondering if the *storage* can be pulled out like a hard drive?

Not enough information. What did you do prior to your phone failing to boot? Was there a software mod you installed? What were the symptoms the phone showed the last time it was on? Any problems before it failed to boot like an old battery, misbehaving ROM, poor charging?
Basically, you need to identify (help us identify) the cause of your phone not booting. We cannot find the solution to a problem we don't know the cause of. The problem must first be defined and then we work from there.
All the best.

Prior to the phone failing to boot, the phone kept crashing. I saw the screen turning into *mess* and then the phone shut off by itself. Initially, I was able to boot up the phone after the crash, however the screen would get mess up and shut off again after a few minutes. Eventually, It got harder and harder to turn on the phone until it finally failed to boot (die). At this point, the phone seems dead. When I plug in the charger, there is no response of any kind, just black screen.
At one time, when the phone was on its last legs, I was able to boot into the Recovery mode, the phone seems to stay in that mode without the crash. Unfortunately, I didn't stay long enough in the Recovery mode to confirm this.
The phone was running on Lineage of Android 8. I have been using the phone for two years, the battery is surely weakened but can still last an hour or two for continual Youtube watching. I didn't do any software update after the Lineage Android 8's last nightly build.
Hope you can help and give some pointers. Thanks.

This appears to be hardware failure. The SoC is most probably dead. You should have recovered your data when it was still able to boot. Right now I think it's too late.

I just plugged in the phone. Miraculously, after few minutes, it did come up with the boot screen (with some messy lines), see the attached picture. However, It didn't go beyond the boot screen and recycle again for 2 or 3 times and then no more. I was able to duplicate this recycling situation several times after plugging it to the charger. Also, I was able to push it into the Recovery mode, but it only stay at the boot screen (with lines) and shut off again after few seconds.
What do the messy lines on the boot screen suggest? Is it the battery totally dead? Or, is the charging system faulty that somehow it doesn't have any enough juice to push thru beyond the boot screen and hence shut off?

Yup...This phone is dead. I have seen a similar le pro 3 posted here on XDA with the same streaks along the display. It's definitely a hard brick. No way to get around it that I know of. I'd like to rope @tsongming in on this. He has seen a few dead pro 3's so this is within his expertise.

Sorry bad news.
As twistyplain said, your phone is absolutely fried, and there is no solution.
It's definitely no brick, that is a hardware issue... Most likely shorted solder connections. The same thing happened to two of our X727s, we have one left that still works.
I highly recommend buying a seemingly unbrickable Xiaomi phone. Their budget models are awesome and of course their flagships are awesome. Everyone in my family has Migrated to Xiaomi . I currently have Android 10 working flawlessly.

Thanks for the info. I made a mistake of not backing up the photos from the phone. I'm still hoping for a slim chance and searching that some of the repair shops (in China?) are somehow able to boot up the phone and retrieve the photos for me. Meanwhile, I'll check into Xiaomi.

If you are in China and located in a large city or tech industrial area you should have plenty of shops that repair at the component level.
Your phone could very likely be repaired by a shop that has a hot air rework soldering station with an electron microscope.
We used to have these types of places in the US but they have all gone out business, replaced by board swappers, who charge a lot. I would suspect that you could get it repaired in China for 100 yuan or less.
I worked in Beijing for 3 months, about 18 years ago and these types of places were everywhere.

[GT-i9500] BOOTLOOP!

Hello
This is my first post here and I'd really appreciate advice in this matter.
I've spent the past couple of hours searching for an answer but nothing works or totally irrelevant results.
I have a problem where I'd rooted my phone with KingRoot, changed it to SuperSU successfully (restarted my phone several times since then and no issues)
I installed TWRP (only the app) from the Google Play store and that's as far as I got before I powered off my phone to cool down before attempting any installation of TWRP. Powered on my phone and I can't get past the Samsung logo.
Recovery won't come up, Download mode works but restarts itself and volume buttons do nothing to let me confirm download mode and so it's sending me in a loop. Samsung logo and restart again and again. I insert my battery and the first thing that happens is my phone goes on a mission, determined to power itself on only to Bootloop.
No, before anyone suggests it be a hardware issue, it's a brand new phone. There's nothing wrong with the buttons.
If anyone is going to point out the obvious in saying that I'm responsible for rooting my device, I'm aware of this. The rooting procedure was a one-click method which was successful and caused no boot issues after restarting the phone countless times.
Basically:
Bootloop
Can't access recovery
Can't get to Download mode without it getting back into the bootloop after 5 seconds or so. Volume buttons do nothing to confirm download mode.
USB debugging wasn't enabled before this Bootloop occurred
Do I have a paperweight or is there a way to salvage something from this?
The phone isn't supposed to power itself on after inserting the battery.
This behavior is only acceptable when the phone is plugged in while inserting the battery. But even so, the phone wouldn't try to boot up, it would just display the charging animation.
i had a similar problem where my phone would boot up to the white samsung logo as soon as i insert my battery. tirned out the power button was stuck. try gently knocking the power button onto the corner of a table or something with the battery pulled out. it might work for you if your problem is what i think it is.

Thank you for your response but would you like a video to prove that it is in fact attempting to boot up when inserting the battery?

I tested it on my device (I9505) and it doesn't boot up, it just turns on to display the charging animation. If I want it to boot up I have to hold the power button.
So, in conclusion, it must be your power button.
You can say the phone is new as much as you want, but there is a chance it came with a factory defect.
There might also be a possibility it is refurbished phone, which means it is pseudo-new.

Phone finally booted after 3 day boot loop..

I decided to start a thread because I noticed there were multiples about this issue. So 3 days ago I was on Facebook when my phone randomly froze. I pushed the power button, and that's when it began bootlooping. I instantly tried booting into recovery with no success. I was hopeful, however, because I could still access the bootloader. I got on my computer and began researching the issue and steps I could take to fix it. I tried every method out there and was unsuccessful. I ended up buying a Pixel today off Craigslist and am loving it so far. So anyway since my Pixel came with the OEM charger, and I had been using a non-oem ever since I had my 6P, I decided to plug in the OEM and see what happens. Within the first hour my 6P began to get very hot, almost to the point where I couldn't even hold it in my hand. Keep in mind the phone was still consistently boot looping the whole time. So I decided to unplug it. Well I left it sitting and went about my business and when I came back to my bed I noticed it was doing the Google boot animation!!!! I started freaking out! After it booted up I finished the tutorial stuff and just let it sit on the home screen for a second. I noticed the battery was low so I figured I would plug the charger back up and let it charge. Well in the time it has taken me to write this post, it just started boot looping again... Lol. So I just unplugged the charger AGAIN, to see if it will boot up again. To me, it seems like there might be a hardware issue with my battery. Anyway, my 6P was rooted and running nitrogen OS (wasn't running the latest build but was 7.1.)
what are the exact symptoms? and does it boot into bootloader and recovery if not what is it physically doing?

As of now it is still boot looping and no it doesn't boot into recovery. Only symptoms I've noticed is the phone starts to get extremely hot when I plug in the OEM charger that came with my Pixel. I figured they were the same so that's why I decided to use it since it was OEM.
I had a 6p that bootlooped eternally couldnt access boot or recovery, I sent it in and they sent a new one. Board was damaged.
I also had a nexus 5 that bootlooped and it turned out to be a bad power botton. the internal connection was broken so it would get power and lose power all in the same second, off and on but too fast to see other than seeing a bootlooping device. that was fixed with a new power button which had to be soldered on.
if not on warranty you could take to a cell phone repair shop maybe they might be able to fix the issue.

It is under warranty, but the sad part is that I no longer have the receipt for it. I got the phone off Craigslist and the guy gave me the original box and receipt but I managed to lose it. I haven't been able to get it to fully boot back up again since last night. I'm not that worried about it anymore because I already have a new phone, but I wouldn't mind if it were to some how fix itself lol.

my first bootloop years ago i thought the same.
it wont fix itself. its not a software isssue because youd be able to at least boot into bootloader. it sucks to hear the truth but thats the truth.
its a hardware issue and you could take it to a repair shop because they will inspect and fix. small drops that dont harm the device can ultimately cause small breaks in the solder joints so who knows what is wrong without inspection

Dead & unresponsive 6P help.

So a couple weeks ago my Nexus 6P died.
I had just taken it off charge and it froze then just died. Became unresponsive and I can't boot it or boot it into recovery. So I have a paper weight at the moment.
Ever since, there has been a couple instances where I got the phone to boot into the Google logo and it will freeze there. Either that, or it will get into the loading animation and freeze on that. It will not turn off until I turn it off myself.
I've only been able to do this a couple times with it being on charge for an hour, unplugging it and plugging it back in whilst holding the power button. Trying to get into recovery with this method has proven unsuccessful.
When left until there is no charge on the phone, I am able to invoke the red blinking lights on the notification led by holding down the power button in any variation (e.g. vol down + power, vol up + power, etc)
The question is if anyone else has come across this issue before and if there is any fix?
I do not believe this is BLOD. Maybe fried mobo or maybe battery is bad.
I can't RMA the device back to Google as I bought the phone whilst I was working in Japan and I bought it from Google Japan and I am know back in the UK.
So they apparently follow local warranty. I've spoken to them about 3 times about this and refuse to budge. Huawei are also no help as I bought the device from overseas, they said they aren't allowed to send any devices from Asia to their UK service centre.
So I'm kinda stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately I don't have the bootloader unlocked nor have I got debugging enabled (I don't think).
Its pretty much as it was outta the box. Only things I tinkered with was enabling dev options in the settings but that is as much as I've done really. But haven't messed around with any of those settings.
The device is all stock.

I don't think so. Sorry, I'm not super technical.
Not wanting to make a new thread when this seems to be relevant; I appear to be experiencing the same issues as the OP.
I was at work and I noticed that my phone had switched off. I assumed it had ran flat and I hadn't noticed so plugged it in when I got home to no avail. The following day I was playing with the power button; holding it down for a period and pressing thinking it might be a loose connection and eventually it did turn back on but only for a few hours and since then the only response I get is a red LED when pressing the power/volume button whilst on charge.
I have replaced both the battery and the charging port/daughter board but this does not appear to have resolved the issue. Is there something I am missing or is my phone now a very expensive paperweight? If that is the case this will be the second Nexus device I owned which died in similar circumstances not long out of it warranty; I had a Nexus 6 which died after a year which I replaced with the 6P and it may be that the same thing has happened.
Any help, advice or suggestions anyone can give would be much appreciated!
Edit: Answering a question asked previously with regards to more information my bootloader is unlocked however I can't remember if USB debugging was enabled. I have a feeling that it is disabled as a work around for Magisk Hide and passing SafetyNet.

BLOD is a bad motherboard. If you can't access Recovery and are bootloader locked, you're at the end of the road.
Have you tried to keep it plugged in then hold the volume down button and power button at the same time, and hold it hard for a while and see if it goes to the recovery partition.
Otherwise, why don't you bring to a hardware store and talk to someone?

So I've spoken to Huawei on a whim and found out that my phone is under warranty so I am waiting on a return delivery envelope to go to one of their Service Centres however I would like to at least try to restore back to stock and re-lock the boot loader as I have managed on a few occasions to get the phone to boot to the 'Google' logo before it would then shut down. I have since plugged the phone in to my laptop and "QHSUSB__BULK" appears in Device Manager.
I have Wugfresh's NRT 2.1.9 but this does not pick up fastboot or adb. Is there any other tool I should be aware of or a driver I haven't got installed? Is this something anyone has come across or managed to resolve before?

Leave it just the way it is. You're stuck in QC 9008 diagnostic mode. Perfect for sending the phone back. Don't worry about it.

Thanks for the advice. I'm just waiting on them sending me the jiffy bag to send my device out to them.
I'm not holding my breath on them actually fixing or replacing it as I have done a DIY battery replacement a little while ago (though I did replace with an OEM battery) but I figure it's worth a shot and worst case scenario I'll hold out for Oct 4th and hope the Pixel 2 XL rumours are right and it will have a similar screen design to the Galaxy S8+.
I love the look of the Infinity Display but will not have a Samsung.

Final update. Apparently Huawei are struggling with a parts shortage and don't know when parts will be come available so they have offered me a "Limited Edition" Gold Mate 9. I'm not entirely happy about this arrangement as I really loved my 6P but they have had my 6P for about six weeks and I haven't had a fully working phone since August 18th so I'm left with little other choice since I can't afford the P2XL.
Thanks for your help and in general to everyone in the 6P threads who have helped me out of the past 18 months.

Bricked Le Pro 3 727 (Blue Screen of Death)

Hello friends,
My LeEco Le Pro3 (727) bricked two days ago and I haven't had any luck turning it back on. It was running LineageOS 8.1 latest official build with an unlocked bootloader, Magisk 16.0, TWRP 3.2.1, and OpenGapps ARM64 8.1 nano. Immediately prior to bricking I was setting it up for bluetooth with my car and was trying to run Google Maps through voice command. As I directed Google Maps to take me to a location, the phone froze, the screen got all "fuzzy" and I got the dreaded blue screen of death.
From that point on I have not been able to turn the phone back on. When I press the power button it will vibrate every 5-10 seconds as though it will turn on but it never does. Ive tried everything I can think of to get to work again including:
- Pressing power button for 2 min, 5 mins, 10 mins
- Pressing power button + vol up (recovery) for 2 min, 5 mins, 10 mins
- Pressing power button + vol down (fastboot) for 2 min, 5 mins, 10 mins
- Pressing power button + vol up + vol down (QFIL MODE) -> Installing Qualcomm driver, downloading "FlashOne2.0", flashing all versions of "qfil files" that I could find but still unable to boot up
- Pressing all different button combinations while plugged in to computer/charger
- Using different cords/chargers/usb ports
- Leaving it to charge overnight/full day then trying to boot up
- Leaving it sitting not charging for a full day then trying to boot up
At this point I'm starting to think it might be a hardware issue but who knows..
Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Where did you buy it from.
I don't have much to add here it seems like you have done everything that you could
Let's clear this up no fashboot right.
Only one thing to try hold power down then plug in USB.

My one did the same, the issue was motherboard. You should send it back to repair.

Thank you for the reply.
It was purchased from a local retailer here in the United States through Google Express. Fortunately I should still be able to return it for a full refund but I would rather have a working phone than my money back.
No flashboot either. It's like the phone just decided to quit working one day. Tried holding power while plugging in USB as well and no change.

The conclusion I'm reaching at this point too. I'll see what the return policy.
Well if it will not turn on it is hardware issue you should be able to return it.

That is so strange. The screen going fuzzy like that is indicative of a hardware issue, IMO. I saw that on my laptop once, but that was because I hit the screen too hard. Never seen a BSOD on an Android device before. TIL.
I assume you've already tried an adb logcat. Were you using the original LeEco cable? I heard it has issues since it's not up to spec. 99% hardware failure, but I can't help but think it has something to do with driver communication confusing the device and causing hardware failure (?) if that's even possible.
Just a final update for those curious.
After leaving the phone alone for two days I plugged it into the charger and low and behold it started vibrating and booted up by itself. It was running a Chinese developers editions 720 rom due to the QFIL File I had flashed in my earlier in my attempt to fix it. Battery was drained so I let it charge for a while and everything was fine until I attempted to restart the phone. As the boot animation was loading, I got the blue screen of death for a second time.
I took a quick picture, the phone shut off itself off, and same as before it wouldn't boot again. As other users have suggested it appears to be a hardware issue, likely with the motherboard. Fortunately I was still able to return the phone (purchased through Google Express via a local retailer) and received a full refund. I've since bought another Le Pro3 (727) and hopefully when that one comes in, it won't have any issues.
Thanks to all the users who left suggestions/tips.

You bought the same phone again? :good: You're courageous, lol.
i been experiencing the exact problem like your on my x720, as i boot up the system or enterting the recovery mode the screen go fuzzy on loading screen and shut itself off completly, i can still able access fastboot. As i left it for a while the phone will be able to almost finish the boot then ending it all with a blue screen.
Have anyone found a way to fix this DIY since my phone has past the guarantee plan ?

Is my Note 4 dead?

Hello dear community,
I'm posting there because I have some doubts about my phone and i'd like some answers from you.
1 month ago, I was charging my phone. When it reached 100% battery, It was fine but the problem is when I was trying to press "power" to turn it on but It didn't want to. So, I removed the battery because I couldn't even turn it off. When I tried to restart it again, it didn't want to. No reaction to the "power" button.
I followed EVERY tips on Google but none worked. I also tried to change my battery but nothing. I tried also to connect it to my computer, it was detected but my phone didn't turn on.
So, I guess my phone is dead unless if there is a solution to make it working? Also before that, my phone was becoming very laggy and when it had a small lag, it was turning off and was rebooting.
Thank you in advance for your answers.

I have mustered some conclusions about your phone based on what you typed:
1st claim: The power button no longer works anymore
•Reason: "... when I was trying to press "power" to turn it on... it didn't want to... When I tried to restart it again, it didn't want to. No reaction to the "power" button."
—Seems like you're gonna have to find another Note 4 and replace its motherboard with the Note 4 whose power button doesn't work anymore after 5 years.
But before spending, I would like you to try this method from a Youtube comment:
"... you'll just have to keep the charger [cable connected] on [your phone] while you take off the battery, and put it back after; then, remove the charger quickly..."
—————
2nd claim: The screen no longer works
•Reason: "I tried also to connect it to my computer, it was detected but my phone didn't turn on."
—If the phone is charged, seeing nothing but blackness, but you still see an emitting LED light on the top-left corner, that's a sign that it still works, just not the screen. So I would suggest that you buy a new screen and replace it with your old one. If you think you can't, then go to a phone repair shop and let others do the repairing.
—————
3rd claim: The motherboard is dead
•Reason: "... before that, my phone was becoming very laggy and when it had a small lag, it was turning off and was rebooting."
—The motherboard might be dead if these are happening, but I don't think this is the right reason unless the first two conclusions are proven to be true. If the first two conclusions are proven to be false, then the motherboard is dead, and you may either buy another Note 4 motherboard or get a new phone.

Thank you for your answer.
To answer you clearly about all the points you clarified, there is no led light appearing when putting it on charge and I also tried the "Youtube comment" but nothing.
So I think, the motherboard is dead as you mentioned. I just don't understand how it died after a charge but as I saw on Google, it's a general problem on Galaxy Note 4, so I think i'm not surprised at all. It's been since 2015 I had it.
Thank you for your time and to have solved my doubts about the death about my phone.

Put in cold fridge for 30 min without battery, then try to turn it on. If not, try the cardboard method under the emmc chip (search youtube)

Is this a serious thing ? (fridge)
I did the oven trick on my n910t. I left my phone stuck in the grill of my truck when I changed the brakes. I took it for a test drive and ended up running over the phone. Me being a noob at the time didn't know the AT&T Note 4 would not unlock Bootloader for custom roms or custom recoveries. I purchased the AT&T Note and was sorely disappointed there after. Flash 2019 I still have the motherboard for my note that I ran over. I can only get in to go into download mode and only when it was plugged in. I flash custom ROM or custom recovery and it would say would pass but it would just boot loop and boot loop. So I read somewhere where you can put it in the oven for around 5 to 6 minutes at about 200° and that it would settle any of the cracked solder that be around the emmc or anywhere else on the board. So I tried it. I stuck it in two different times at five minutes a piece, pull the board out and let it set for a day. I installed the board just a little while ago and she fired right up. It's amazing
I've recently replaced the motherboard on my N910F with a used one bought from AliExpress. As it's used I've no idea how long it will last but for £30 was worth a try.
It was pretty straightforward replacing the motherboard using one of the tear down guides on YouTube.
