Install the 7S original from Letv, then you can clean the chinese stuff with Titanium. But yes, that's the way to do it, wipe everything execpt internal storage. Install the ROM file and that's it! Try with a clean ROM file, get original 7S.

Install TWRP like sirdickens posted a while ago and install superSU. Google the superSU file for letv x600.

BTW. On BB82-07s Rom i deleted som service (Stv.Push 1.26, and TypeMail)

new x600 and update to 7s, music app

Hello,

As a new member of this forum and a new and happy owner of a x600, I desided to write about mine experiences so far. I have read this forum for 3 hours yesterday and I find this thread highly interesting and useful. It was actually thanks to this forum (partly anyway) that I decided to order a x600.

I received my x600 last week from Aliexpress, with 004 stable version installed. It was very buggy, interface crashed when I launched IR blaster and some other things. It had to go.

I must say that I have never flashed a phone, installed a rom, rooted or anything else. I am new to this but with the ambition, interest and ofc your help, I will probably manage to do some custom rom-installation.

I watched a video on YouTube (How to Update/install a new rom on the LeTV S1/X600, don’t know if I’m allowed to post youtube-links) and applied another rom (then shown in the video), namely 7s, as many of you have recommended. I did exactly as in the video, no twrp no nothing, inly original bootloader, and it worked fine. Yes I lost my apps but then again I dodn’t have many, plus I already knew I was going to lose them. Will definitely use TWRP in the future, when I learn how to.

7s seems really good, but then I can only compare it to the buggy 4s. So far I have not experienced any problems with the battery. I have only used 7s for a few hours so I cannot conclude so much yet.

I have one question about the Music app, Xiami. The first week I managed to stream all the songs I wanted, but now… nothing! Was it maybe 1 week trail or is something wrong with the streaming? I need a closure on the music app issue, I keep thinking that I’m the cause of it not working.

That was all for me, for now!

Thanks in advance!

I've heard that this device cannot support Google Play services and Google Now Launcher at the same time. Can anyone verify this?

Maybe a CM rom could fix many of the small issues this phone has, but I am not sure whether it is ever getting any custom ROM or not.
[Device Reviews and Information] sansanc:
You may be somewhat right on your reasons, but Gigantic, thick, heavy, sharp corners, MASSIVE bezels surely isn't.

On the other reasons, nothing new, i think every phone nowadays (except on the very high quality brands) is released immaturely. I had a LeTV engineer confirming me what we already know. Great phone with software problems. On a good side, they release a stable version each month and a experience version every week. You may want to check them out, because they are doing improvements on the WIFI and Battery areas. At least in theory.

I'm not defending LeTV, but you just lost your credibility there.

---------- Post added at 15:40 ---------- Previous post was at 15:35 ----------

I have Google services here, but i don't remember if i installed through TWRP with a zip file or through aptoide. I don't use google lancher.

There are already custom ROMs, but you need to dig a bit in order to find them. This pisses me off, because people make ROMs, yet they keep it on some obscure forum instead of letting people use them. Some of those ROMs might fix bugs that would make people happy.
[Device Reviews and Information] vicstarman:
Mine came from oppo Mart with both installed and running together perfectly. Google launcher out of the box and all Google apps installed and running perfectly. The services crash occasionally but fire right back up. The only problem I'm having is that it cannot support Android wear so I'm having to return mine :(

Hello,

I'm interested by this phone, by the dimensions seems strange to me, is it really 74,2mm for larger ? Anyone check it ?

Thanks,
[Device Reviews and Information] vicstarman:
Replying quickly on my way to work on my phone so I don't see how to omit the long quote. Sorry about that. But I wanted to say thank you! I still disagree with you on the point about thickness, bezels and build quality. But I do not want to argue here nor would it produce anything positive. I would like to say thank you because I did not realize they were going to be pushing out updates so regularly. I was literally about to return the phone today but if there is hope that Android wear will be supported in the near future I'd like to keep it. I did a factory reset and it seems to be overheating less and getting better connectivity speeds but I still cannot get Android wear to work :( thoughts and opinions? If I'm going to return it I should do so soon so they will still honor their offer.

I do tend to be a bit hyperbolic so I apologize for the extreme speak. To be much more literal all I was referring to were the sharp corners which are a fact, and the fact that the bezels are the largest I've had on any phone since my htc leo. And perhaps the Asus zenfone to 5.5 inch. Same with this phone. They call it, and these are their words not mine, "bezeless". But just like the Asus zenfone 2, the screen looks big and beautiful but when you turn it on and the screen lights up you realize that there are significant bezels all the way around. This is coming from phones like to find 7, 1 +, g3 ecetera where I had become accustomed to lightweight phones with a screen that goes practically to the edge. It's not a problem it just makes me think the phone could have been smaller. Also please take note that I'm using a 5.1 millimeter telephone now, so that makes this one just shy of double the thickness and triple the weight. So I guess I was exaggerating a little bit but it definitely seems like a shock coming from the alpha and Vivo air.

Cheers,

Neil

Vic, rest assured you are not the only one pissed at LeTV. Not only, i am a bit pissed because i wanted a perfect GPS (i bought this phone because i pulled all of my hair using the GPS of my THL 5000) and some random bugs, but people at their forums are pissed too. In fact, there is one user there complaining about Android Wear too. I really wish they had forums in english so we could speak.

Vic, you are aware this is a 5.5 inch phone, right? What did you expect? In fact, it must be quite probably the best phone in screen ocupation from all 5.5 inch phones. I just checked devicespecifications.com, i only checked some 5.5 phones, only (very few) some were 74%, this x600 is 76.3%. I was kind of shocked how this phone being 5.5 was just a very tiny bit bigger than my 5.0 inch THL 5000. You are comparing apples to oranges, because comparing your 4.8 inch vivo to this 5.5. phone, really isn't fair. The 30€, 70g Nokia phone from my mother is very small too. TBH, maybe it could be smaller, but i doubt it would be easy. Besides not only 2015 is the year of 5.5 inch phones, LeTV is selling this phones so people sign up their streaming services, so the phone has to have a nice and somewhat big screen.

I'm not a reviewer like s7yler here, gizchina or whatever, that reviewed dozens of phones, but if they say the quality is very good, that's because it is. i don't think there are a lot of phones with quality equal and more stylish than this. Only the very expensive.

If i were you, i would keep it a bit more. And meanwhile, try the experience versions, they are like the beta versions. Do a full TWRP backup first. When changing ROMs or phones, i backup everything with Titanium (user apps + system settings, wifi points, etc), do a full TWRP backup, and copy the entire internal SD card (with thos backups) to my computer.

He is comparing the LeTV S1 with the BLU vivo air. I know the BLU vivo air very good and yes compared to that one, the LeTV it is much thicker and much heavier. But in everything else the LeTV beats the BLU vivo air.

The main highlights about the BLU vivo air is that it is extremely thin and light. But the rest is just garbage in that phone. The CPU is old (MT6592 from last year), dull screen and low RAM (1GB), average camera (no match at all for the LeTV), bad battery (2100mah) because it is so thin etc.

It is just wrong to compare these 2 phones, because one is just about design and looks (BLU vivo air) but with low specs, where the other one the LeTV may be thicker and heavier but has some real serious hardware inside 3GB RAM, MTK6795 etc.

To say that a MT6592 with 1GB RAM have better performance than the MT6795 with 3GB RAM is IMO just crazy and far from reality.

It is like comparing a bold muscle car with an thin styled car..... the styled car may look good and nice, but only the muscle car has the real power.

1. Very nice design, thin bezels compared to many other normal 5.5 inch phones

2. No overheating at all, I know a LOT of other phones that gets much hotter....

The only things I agree on is, they must still optimize the ROM a lot! and yes it has sharp edges on the back.
[Device Reviews and Information] sansanc:
Of course, just for the fact that they aren't even the same size, it's hard to compare. In terms of weight, thickness of course.

Now i like that LeTV is paying attention to battery saving. In 5.0.013E they did something. But the big culprit is the screen, they can't change that. Let's see if LeTV behaves good about fixing the serious bugs.
[Device Reviews and Information] vhicke:
Well I just had the Asus zenfone 2 16gb 2gb of ram and the letv 1 is amazing compared to that. It is built like a piece of art and looks great. The pictures do not do it justice. Yes it is a Chinese phone and will not have all the latest custom roms. But if looking for a good phone with all the bells and whistles this is a good choice. It does work with Android wear. I installed the 003s rom and installed Google installer apk then install everything but playstore. Restarted the phone and installed playstore. All apps working now. Plus the new rom is great on battery and WiFi seems to be much better then my asus zenfone. Using it on koodo in Canada and getting great speeds on hspa.
[Device Reviews and Information] Nathicana:
Well in fadt 74,2mm for a 5,5" it's the smaller larger for a phone with this screen.

I currently have a LG G3 who was the smaller with 74,6mm.

But on the pics, the bezzel looks a lot larger than my G3. I have checked with the Meizu MX5 who is 74,7 and it's the same, LETV looks larger.

As I know many chinese brands lie about specs, dimensions etc... I would like to know if it is really 74,2mm for the larger.

Yes for me the ratio screen / size of the phone is one of the most important thing I am looking for ! So I don't want to buy one and see it is in reality larger than my G3. That's why I'm asking if someone checked the larger of the phone.
[Device Reviews and Information] sansanc:
Just used a ruler to measure it, it's 7.4cm width. Your G3, must be one of the very few to actually have 76% display area. http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/comparison/a8cf2c6b8

Thanks for ROM share

I appreciate this timely post! I am SO ready to return this LeTV!!! Final test today has resulted in the following (on stock ROM):

1. Battery life already at 84% within the first hour of the day simply by using WAZE to get to work (12 min drive).

2. Google Maps crashes

3. Android Wear still and always crashing to the point of not even starting.

4. Voice command for "Ok Google" does not stop streaming music AND crashes. (touching the mic symbol to voice dicate works.

Also, the mic appears to "listen" at a low input level (like my One Plus One did). It can't hear me well, even when close to my face. Tested with sound recorder and watched the voice meter. It appears to "hear" at about a third the volume/level that my other phones do. Identical to my One Plus One which I also had to let go. Oddly the Oppo Find 7 (similar to the One) worked perfectly. So I think it's just a lemon-device issue, perhaps?

At any rate, I'll try this ROM, but then I'm nervous about not being able to return for refund since I've modded it. Ugh!!!
[Device Reviews and Information] sansanc:
Wow, i thought mine couldn't get 4G, because it didn't show 4G on the signal bar, so it's supposed to show HSPA+! Actually this was a complain of mine. My operator confirms there is 4G signal here. Maybe i couldn' see the tiny "+".

There is a problem on the GPS, even tough it locks on 15+ sats, some with 35+ sinal strengh, the accuracy error get higher as the speed rises, at 70km/h it's around 30meters of error. I have talked about this to LeTV. Let's hope they fix this..

This is definately NOT right. Some process is abusing the CPU. Of course the battery will get wasted fast. You need to check that out. You really should update. The updates are in Settings > Other > system updates. It's on the same group of settings as the About Phone. Right above Language and input, Date & Time , Power on $ off settings. If there isn't a system updates option quite probably you have the multilanguage ROM and it isn't "updatable". Install the 5.0.003S on needrom. If you already have TWR is quite trivial. It will take some time to uninstall all those LeTV/chinese apps tough.

---------- Post added at 16:56 ---------- Previous post was at 16:48 ----------

Well, make a full backup before doing something so you can put it back if you really want to return it. According to LeTV, Android wear is supposed to work, at least it works on the Pro and MAX versions. Anyway, if don't mind translation, fill a bug here: http://bbs.letv.com/forum.php?mod=bugfeedback&fid=965

Some users already reported that problem tough.
[Device Reviews and Information] vicstarman:
Thanks for all of this (non-pointed), genuinely productive info and advice.

So CHECK THIS OUT! You will think I'm crazy or lying, and if I had time I'd attach a screen shot to prove I'm serious... but I found part of the problem:

The reason I can't find the system update option is because IT'S NOT THERE! :-/

Here is the list in the order they appear on my settings page, right where I have been looking for it:

"Other":

Language & input

Date & time

Power on & off settings

Apps Battery

Storage

Factory data reset

Accessibility

Printing

Developer options

About phone

THAT'S IT... no listing anywhere or system updates.

Now then.... that ties in with the strangest part of all. My phone came from Oppomart not only with the Google store/apps pre-installed, but actually running the Google Now Launcher straight out of the box.

So when I did a full factory reset I expected it to go back to EU UI and all Chinese / original... But it didn't! It' did the full reset and, Voila, right back to Google Now Launcher and all apps installed. No EU UI to be found! (obviously it's running underneath everything, but the phone resets to some f***ked up ROM that they sent me the phone running. Or some sort of override. So I short of fully rooting and flashing a new ROM there's nothing I can do to check for system updates. I've checked the box or "Experience Mode", and still, no updates are pushing. Granted I've only had it for a few days.
[Device Reviews and Information] sansanc:
Vic, mate, like i said, that ROM probably is the multilanguage ROM which is NOT possible to update in a normal way. Ok, if you already got TWRP, install the ROM 5.0.003S in needrom. Done!
[Device Reviews and Information] vicstarman:
AHHHHH, I didn't understand your point! Okay, will try that then. Thanks! Now I wish I'd just gotten the regular model.

I don't have TWRP yet, but I have the tutorial and links to get it onto this device, so I'll try that... if I keep it... I'll tell you, today is the first day I'm carrying it in my shorts pocket as a daily driver and (again, personal preference here, so no need to argue), and it's really just to heavy and thick for comfort. True the other phone I'm currently using is freakishly light and thin, but I also like my Alpha for the same reasons. I guess I'm just a small phone guy now. One - hander. I only wish for the giant displays when mounted in my car for nav.

Still tempted to mod this beast though, just for the hell of it. It's been ticking me off that gapps won't work even though they were pre-loaded.

Thanks much!

Sansanc,

One last question... I'm going to root and sideload TWRP tonight to try getting the 003s on there. Is it safe to assume my bootloader is already unlocked? I'm thinking it likely is (if it ever was locked), because the company who sold it to me flashed the Multi-Language ROM on it before shipping it to me.
[Device Reviews and Information] Shuvo_bd:
[MENTION=6058294]sansanc[/MENTION],

Ok. I get everything this time. I m using TWRP 2.7.8 version, which is originally in chinese and i had to apply material theme to make it english. From TWRP if i wipe 'system' and then flash offcial ROM from Letv forum, it always gives me 'no OS installed' warning before rebooting the device. I succeded to bypass the issue without wiping 'system' from advance menu. I m on latest Experimental built. But the problem is i think TWRP is not sticking parmanently in the latest built. and after flashing the rom using TWRP pressing reboot from recovery tends to hang the device. Nothing happens for so long time. I had to press the power button for about 20 seconds to shut the device down and then i turn it on again.. When i tried to renter the recovery again, then its gone only stock recovery is visible. So that concludes maybe the 2.7.8 is not fully compatible with latest rom built. Everytime i had to flash recovery using recovery.cmd for flashing something.

Btw, As i was on 27E built for some moment, i noticed letv is busy improving their rom. They made some design changes. Few icons are changed and English translation is going on too. Previously weather app was chinese only, now many thing is translated to english, though its not totally in english yet. Music app also seems translated. I liked previous clock widget which was central in position. Sadly they made it alligned left in latest built. Why not we write to them to release a global rom for letv devices? Since letv is entering different countries its high time they release official global rom.
[Device Reviews and Information] sansanc:
Shuvo that sounds very strange to me. Almost everybody here uses TWRP to install ROM or custom ROMs. Maybe you did something wrong when installing TWRP from flash tools? Erased some important partition or something. The original recovery gets auto-installed?! That sounds very odd indeed... If i were you, i would try another TWRP version. There's some english and spanish around.

---------- Post added at 03:36 ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 ----------

Try another version of TWRP. You are not the one to have problems like that, something is odd here... I never had problems installing ROMs with TWRP. Maybe something changed the last phones? I mean, it's LeTV best interest that people do NOT use custom ROMs without their stuff. Because their stuff is now they make money.

---------- Post added at 03:38 ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 ----------

Did you installed on top of the old one, or did you install it after wiping everything from the phone? Because there can be problems if you don't wipe everything, and yes, sometimes you even need to wipe internal storage, so backup your stuff to computer first. If after wiping everything the problems persists, then you may have a defective phone. Contact your shop.

---------- Post added at 03:45 ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 ----------

What music app is that? If it's a LETV app and you don't have a subscription, quite problably it was a trial.

If you want to post an youtube link, just say it's youtube and post the final part of the URL, like whatch? something

This phone even got better now, that they fixed the GPS for good. In hardware, the problems seem to be the lack of SD card and the screen seems easy to break... Because people want bezeless phones, now the glass cover the entire phone, maybe that's the reason for so many broken screens on this phone, i'm just speculating.. When i got my THL 5000, the borders was plastic, not the screen it self.

Still, this phone may be the best with the x10 chip. In terms of build quality, there is no better than this (taking out the screen problem that is).

Hi guys! I just got my letv x600 yesterday and it came with the "international" version (pre installed with google play) of EUI 5.5.002S (?). I have managed to change it to the official version of EUI 5.5.007S, added Google Play and other apps, working great so far until I noticed that when I charge the phone, regardless through an outlet or charge via usb on computer. It loses Network Reception unless I stop charging, Wifi and everything else keeps turned on, it just loses mobile data and network connection, (cant make calls,text, etc).

Now is this a known issue with the software? I'm assuming its the software. I just wanna ask around before I revert back or change to other versions. Or maybe I got a faulty phone and I just noticed now? Thanks guys! :)
