Problems

******************************************************************************************************************************

I have tried these steps and im still having trouble. When my device only boots into fastboot mode once and it hangs there and when i try to boot into fastboot mode it puts me into recovery mode. When i try to boot using Power button and Vol down it brings me to a menu that is written in chinese. If you have any advice please help. I have tried towel root and several other methods and none have works. Thanks!
[Android General] RukusX7:
You don't require access to fast boot mode. Make sure mobile uncle tools is installed. Then. Just run the root app of your liking. Let it do its thing. It will reboot the phone a couple times, its trying different methods to root. Including a fast boot method which fails. The root app will keep trying. Once phone is done rebooting, this is where you open mobile uncle tools and do the user/root method.

Please refer to post #19 where I supplied a link to a Philz Recovery that I made. You can use SP flashtool to flash ONLY the recovery image. Once in, you can root the system using Philz recovery. the option is in the advanced menu. It has instructions on what to do when root is complete. It tells you to install SuperSU from the market, once installed you open it, the app will notify you of installation methods, choose "normal" All you need to do is follow the directions on your screen.

I just flashed my recovery, and successfully rooted my device using this method.

Root successful.

Hey guys. New member here.

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this but I have successfully rooted my Leagoo Lead 3 almost a month ago with no problems so far. After doing a little research I found this:

www(dot)mgyun(dot)com/irootm

It's in Chinese, but I used Chrome to translate it. So basically I downloaded and ran the apk on my cellphone. Then I installed SuperSu to get rid of the chinese superuser Kinguser. I also used System app Remover to remove vroot which was also installed during the rooting process.

Hope this helps.

i still had some problems with rooting, i used vroot, snappea, mobileuncle tools to root.

1. Download snappea to your PC to install the necesarry drivers on it: snappea.com/windows (phone drivers)

2. Download vroot to ur PC: mgyun.com/en/getvroot (root tool)

3. Download mobileuncle tools to ur phone: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobileuncle.toolbox (root tool for phone)

4. Enable USB debugging on ur phone

5. connect ur phone to PC - snappea will install drivers automatically, make sure no devices are unknown in device manager

6. Start Vroot. it should say Lead 3s phone: click on root. Phone will reboot couple of times. When its back it asked me if i wanted to restore my data, which i did (not sure if this is necesarry)

7. With me, vroot said unsuccesfull. Open up mobileuncle tools - engenering mode - mtk engeneering - scroll to log and debugging - click User2Root an then root

8. Back to vroot and retry - phone restarts couple of times. Keep ur usb cable connected!

9. When phone is back, open mobile uncle tools again, go to user2root and again click on root. All this with cable connected and vroot still running (rooting). After i clicked root in mobileuncle tools - SUCCES (in Vroot).

10. Reboot phone - root enabled

Like i said, not sure if everything is needed, and i already had some stuff on my computer like kingoroot, but this is the way it worked for me. Somewhere inbetween Vroot gave me a message that i already had succeded, but when i checked it with a root checker app or wanted to start supersu, it didnt work. thats why i tried again.

Hope this helps someone, because i used a few different fora to put this all together and be able to root the damn thing.

Updated root method for everyone.

Have Mobile Uncle Tools installed on phone.

Download MTKDroidTools.

have mobile uncle tools open on phone in MTK engineering mode. Find the User/Root option.

Open mtkdroidtools and connect your device. Click the button for root as well as tap user/root on your device at same time.. This should enable a root shell. You must also have adb working on your PC.

Download and install Philz easy installer. As you now have access to a root shell, you can install custom recoveries. Install Philz to your device following the wizard. It reboots into CWM when done.

In the advvanced meny of CWM, choose to reapply root.

Install/update SuperSU

You will then need to invoke an su request with a root app. I downloaded Quickboot from the playstore. Use it to try to reboot into recovery, it will ask for su access and wont actually reboot you at this time.

Then reopen SuperSU and install the su binaries.

VOILA! Custom recovery AND root!
[Android General] kickurd:
Hi guys,

Did anyone try the new update yet? Version 1114, 55,60 mb... Was wondering if it runs correctly and whether root is kept.
[Android General] mantarkus:
I tried updating but installation fails and I have to restart the phone. I unrooted and did a factory reset just in case this was the problem but nop, same results. I rooted again using the method I described. I wont attempt again unless the update is really worth it. BTW I tried using the update on the handset and the one available from Leagoo website.

[Android General] freec1:
New Update is arrived over OTA: 1208

- Had to reinstall stock recovery, unless can't update.

- New look of icons

- Had to root again (KingoRoot failed Root Genius succeded with MobileUncleTools user-to-root setting) and reinstall Philz Touch Recovery for Lead3
[Android General] burimek:
can everyone post a scrennshot from the new icon and design.
[Android General] crawfishy:
English please... Want to root without bricking!

OK, to start, I have done hacks and custom ROMS on other devices but we all know there is always the risk of bricking so anytime I do something like this, I want to know EVERY EXACT step before beginning... I have read this entire post and I am left with more questions than answers.

First off, Has anyone tried the incredibly simple rooting procedure posted by 'burimek' on Sept. 26, 2014 ???? It talks about putting an update.zip onto the SD card and just updating from the phone's Settings menu. Incredibly simple if it works but I'm not gonna be the first one to try it!

Another major question... People keep talking about backing up the phone before rooting and then using this Philz restore after rooting. I'm sorry, but I don't get this... Does that mean that after rooting, the O.S. is gone or something else major is missing that needs to be restored back? So if I must do a backup, nobody every seems to say HOW.

So then I read the most recent posting my rukusx7 called "Updated root method for everyone". Sounds good, this should be the final word on the update procedure. But for someone who is not engrossed and embedded into this community, there are several terms (or rather abbreviations) used that I have no idea what you are talking about....

1. "have mobile uncle tools open on phone in MTK engineering mode."

What is MTK engineering mode?

2. "You must also have adb working on your PC."

What is adb?

3. Install Philz.

Is that necessary or an option... What does that do for me?

4. Have no idea what CWM is but instructions seem simple here.... just choose "Reapply root"... I guess.

5. Install SuperSU

Again, is this a necessary step to the process or an option... And what does that do?

Thanks,

Crawfishy
[Android General] burimek:
hello crawfishy first my rooting procedure with update.zip on sd karte dont work, i have this from manufactery but for me not works. you can try but i dont beleive it...

1-mobile uncle tool ist just one app on Google play( no realy need to root)

2- adb ist driver you need to connect your phone with your Windows (very important, but the soft kingo rootdonwload what you need)

3&4&5- i have no install no need to root

whats you need is just connect the phone to pc im deboge usb mode and use the soft kingo root or iroot

http://fr.kingoapp.com/

or

http://www.mgyun.com/en/getvroot

is so easy you dont need expert to use this tool try it and please reply im forum
[Android General] crawfishy:
Backup & Restore needed???

OK, So I am looking at Kingoroot and seems like the absolutely simplest thing in the world... But people keep talking about backing up the phone before rooting and doing some kind of restore after... Is this necessary? After rooting, what would be lost that would require restoring?
[Android General] kickurd:
With rooting, ur getting access to the main OS of the phone, including the drivers and write permissions on the primary, OS, storage. Sometimes, it has happened to me once in my 5 years of rooting Android phones and tablets, things go wrong and you end up with a 'softbricked' phone, meaning that the software (android itself or drivers / kernel) are corrupted. If you have a backup on ur device, you then can easily restore the backup. So its always wise to have a backup, but that's of course with anything.

Imho backing up is more important if ur actually flashing a new custom ROM (replacing android & drivers) instead of rooting (getting access to the OS storage). But since softbricks can lead to flame-wars online, people tend to state the standard operating procedures here, of which one of the first steps should always be make a backup. If anything happens, you can always restore that.

Custom roms?

Hi there,

Anyone actually found any custom roms that you can install on a rooted leagoo lead 3 yet at all?

I rooted ok & removed some bloatware but the phone is still painfully slow despite me having almost nothing installed.

If I can put a custom rom on it to control it more then so much the better.
[Android General] burimek:
No existing custom rom for leagoo phone, you can just update to the last original firmware.
[Android General] Radu27:
Hello community! Leagoo Lead 3 is a very good phone. I have a Leagoo Lead 3S (better ram 1GB, more internal storage 8GB and 8mpx camera) and I'm sorry to see that this topic has no activity for more than half a year. I successfully root the phone and also I install Cwm Recovery, but no custom rom for this device. A good site with custom roms for mtk6582 cpu is mtkroms, which is also an android 5.1.1 for our kitkat phone. I don't know how to port 5.1. I hope someone that know how to do that may help us or give us a guide. Thank you!
[Android General] RukusX7:
check out 4pda.ru for roms. actually click this link,

http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=591659&st=740

There is lollifox and miui v6 available. Lollifox is an official supported rom by team FMD
[Android General] RukusX7:
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=591659&st=740

custom roms here. try lollifox.

or

Maybe these roms are only for the lead 3 and might not work with your phone... but they should have source code available. if you poke around, this phone is similar to the doogee at this link.

http://xdaforums.com/android/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-0-doogee-titans2-t3115515

could prob find some source to work with there

Here is a link to the Leagoo Lead 3S official forum

http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=624478
[Android General] RukusX7:
I'd go straight here for custom roms. just translate and find "lead 3" or "leagoo" in the discussion

http://vk.com/club_fmd_p
[Android General] Radu27:
Ok. Thank you very much. From what I've seen Leagoo Lead 3s is a DEXP Ixion X 4.5 clone. FMD Team recently release Lollifox 1.3 for Dexp, that means I can install it on Lead 3s without problems, right?. Yesterday I've seen on mtkroms site an interesting tutorial on how to install real AOSP Lollipop on any MTK6582 or MTK6592, maybe our Leagoo has a change.
[Android General] mantarkus:
Since my phone was rooted I couldn't perform an OTA update, the way I did it was following this

http://xdafirmware.com/leagoo-lead-3 (do not remove the battery)

But, that is NOT the latest update. Actually I was able to update OTA to LEAGOO_Lead3_UI 3.0_V0.26.5_S0313.

What's new? Well, you can choose between the Leagoo or a Google launcher, which I though was very cool.

Google launcher is well, a google launcher and it's very similar to the old Lead 3 screen except there's an app drawer now.

Leagoo launcher is more colorful, app icons are larger and have round edges. It also has a cool audio player that resembles an old record player on the screen. Still trying to decide which launcher to leave as default though.

Sorry if you guys knew all this :)

Well time to root once again and try to install a recovery

[Android General] RukusX7:
I'm not sure if you will be able to flash the DEXP ixion X 4.5 firmware to your device directly. I have some experience porting roms. Seems that if you have the same screen size, processor, and ram, porting should be mo problem. However, its possible that either device uses different built-in sensors. Thats where you would need to port over those files as well. The whole process to port is honestly as simple as copy/paste. There are plenty tutorials on XDA. This is inally getting interesting. Its odd that mediatek resists to release source code. Having Cyanogenmod or other custom roms on mtk devices would attract more people to purchasing chinese devices with their chipset.

I am going to see if i can make Blisspop work maybe. I run it on my Oneplus One, and both mine and my gf's Moto G 2014. its seriously a highly customizeable rom with many features and great battery life on at least both my devices.
[Android General] RukusX7:
On second thought, http://www.mtkroms.com has tutorials to walk you through this. So you dont really require my help.
[Android General] mantarkus:
Before I start messing with my phone, does anyone know how to extract the firmware? Thx

[Android General] RukusX7:
Everything you need to know is on that site you showed me.
[Android General] mantarkus:
I'm sorry, I wasn't clear on my previous question. What I would like to do is extract or backup the latest OTA firmware from my phone so it can be shared. Do I still need to root my phone to do this or not?. Thanks for any help

[Android General] RukusX7:
I'm running cm-11-ALPHA-20150412-UNOFFICIAL-lead3.zip from team FMD.

Two things that need to he done for proper operation is:

Edit in the build.prop

Debug.composition.type and change the value from c2d to dyn

Second is to enable zram. There is 380mb available. I used kernel adiutor to enable it. Then I used disk info to verify .

I also reduced my ebr1 file to 1kb and increased ebr2 to 2.5gb. Ebr1 was where apps used to install. But cm doesn't work like that. So now I have more space for files and apps. Only recommendation I have is to leave ebr1 with atleast 100 mb. Recovery is still wrote to think it exists. This way u won't get plagued by " unable to mount emmc” errors in recovery.
[Android General] RukusX7:
I don't think you need root to backup your firmware. Use the first link I posted a couple post back.
[Android General] RukusX7:

Hi all... I have read a lot of posts on the forum, but I havent found a solution.

I have a HTC TyTN with the original and italian ROM. I have bought a iTech S35 because I have read in this forum that It has a sufficient compatibility with a2dp and TyTN.

But... If I listen Resco Radio throught wi fi, I have often the skipping issue.

Is there a way to resolve this issue? Or with Wifi actived there isnt a solution?

Thanks

yes no other option for this i myself has faced this tried every thing and at last went to the service centre the asked me whether its rooted or not

never say yes tell them that your were upgrading through kies and the pc rebooted and then phone is not booting then they will not ask you anything simply they will change the motherboard and upload the IEMI and other software and give it to you(estimated time of repair depends on the availability of the hardware)
