Thank you for your advice and I'll be more polite in future.

Sir, Can you please do me a favour and help to install TWRP recovery in my LeMax X900 for which I'll be grateful to you.

So again I'm requesting you sir to please help me and it was my mistake. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ........
[Android General] Mathsl:
Very helpfull! First i was with LS 3.3 now i've install 4.3.3 and set LS with your setup.
[Android General] MaunModi:
My first try was unsuccessful .....

What I did .....

1. Collected all necessary files from internet (recovery.img, misc.img and recovery.bat - Chinese version)

2. Modified the recovery.bat file to ENGLISH

1. Ran the recovery.bat file

2. It installed TWRP and reboot into TWRP first time

3. I wiped Cache and Dalvic Cache then rebooted the system

1. Next I boot into phone and EUI updated itself with 150+ updates

2. From EUI updator app, I selected to "Reboot to Recovery"

Voila, Now my TWRP is gone and seeing the LeTv default recovery :(

Why my LeMax X900 is overwriting TWRP !!!!

When I press Vol+ + Power button I'm going to default recovery :(

Anyone know how to delete the horrible google voice button?
[Android General] STEVE_MARS:
I make a terrible effort for write all in English in this forum. At least, I hope people do it that too into my blog :).

Try to do it manually, it´s very easy:

When you are in fastboot mode (liitle penguin on phone screen), write this in yout PC:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Be sure that fastboot.exe and recovery.img are into the directory.

If you install stock ROM, when asked if you want stock recovery say NO. In my Evolution series I erase file that causes this.
[Android General] MaunModi:
Seems like I found the root cause of my problem.

I had to root my phone in first TWRP screen. I was trying to install TWRP without root.

Anyways seems like now my TWRP is persistent. Now I'm downloading Evolution 40e. Lets see .....
[Android General] STEVE_MARS:
It´s better 9s: 40e "experimental", 9s "stable".
[Android General] wetgepard:
To fix recovery overwriting issue during first recovery boot you should go to TWRP File manager, mount /system, then locate recovery updating script install-recovery.sh in /system/bin directory and delete them. Now unmount /system and you ready to install root and gapps. All this stuff should be done WITHOUT rebooting to system. Every time you flash a new firmware version, you should repeat these steps just after flashing or your TWRP will be gone after first reboot.
[Android General] MaunModi:
Thank you Steve. I have installed your Evolution 40e.

Good work, but I wish we could have MIUI7 on LeMax X900.

LeTv makes high specification phones with a awful software.

I may be wrong, but I see I can't take landscape mode panaromic images on it. Panaromic mode is only for portrait !!!!

My LeMax had came with 8s which I find crap.

1. Can you please tell me what's the difference between 8s and 9s?

2 . Also can we flash 9s from TWRP like traditional flashing of ROMs means factory reset, install zips ???

3. Does the original 9s ROM from bbs.letv.com has English language support?

---------- Post added at 05:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 AM ----------

Thank you for your tips. But my hit-and-trial method worked for me.

1. Install TWRP from recovery.bat

2. On first boot of TWRP, unplug the cable from PC/Laptop -> Clean cache+Dalvic -> Install SuperSu -> Reboot -> System

Now My TWRP is persistent and I can enter to recovery by Vol+/Power buttons.

Hi Friends

I thought to share the procedure to install TWRP on LeTv LeMax X900 - all in ENGLISH. I had gone through many difficulties with Chinese, Italian, Spanish languages tutorials. So here is the complete procedure in English.

Setup

1. Download the required binaries from here ( https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_Dr5vbvtcD_ZlU3OG9VUkRkdG8/view?usp=sharing )

2. Ensure your ADB drivers for your phone are installed on your PC/Laptop

3. Enable debugging option on your phone from Settings

4. Ensure your device shows when you type "C:\>adb devices -l"

5. Create a folder "TWRP" first in your phones internal memory and inside TWRP folder create another folder "theme". Copy the ui.zip file into the "theme" folder

6. Copy BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip to root of your phones internal memory

Installation

1. Connect your running phone to your PC/laptop

2. Open a command window with administrator privileged

3. Change the directory to the folder which contains all the unzipped binaries that you had downloaded earlier

4. From command window type "C:\>recovery.bat".

5. The script has written to detect your device, if it detects it will ask to press any key to enter recovery

6. Then you will see your phone reboots to recovery with a little tux icon on centre of your phone. Congratulation you have crossed half way.

7. Now if everything are OK, the script will ask you press any key to install TWRP recovery to your phone

8. If it installs successfully you will see couple of "OK" messages on your command window

9. Finally script will ask to press any key to reboot your into your newly installed TWRP

10. After first boot into TWRP, remove your cable from phone, wipe cache and dalvic cache

11. Install BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip and reboot system

12. It may freeze in reboot system screen. Don't panic press your power button for 10 seconds it will reboot automatically

That's it. You have now TWRP on your LeMax X900 :)
[Android General] le_vente:
It is very kind from You to give help to others.

But I have to say that all of this is mentioned in this topic...

I have of course thanked Your post anyway.

And we all are happy to see that You can be more calm... :)

You are right Letv is not absolute first is Android phones and its' software is not the most professional.

I am sure You can find a nice solution for landscape panorama pictures too... ;)
[Android General] Ankan53:
Hi all I'm thinking about buying it now but I read in a review that the screen has problems with bleeding and ghosting and poor sound correct this?

review is here: http://www.androidheadlines.com/2015/12/featured-review-letv-le-max-x900.html

also want to know how long SOT hour you get in normal usage?

How is the LCD when it has a white background more yellowish or white in color?
[Android General] laggis1:
Same problem here!

I'm using Evolution 09s.

Even if I lock an app I still can't receive notifications.

Has anyone found a solution?

STEVE?
[Android General] Manfred73:
Hi,

Which verison of TWRP is this. After first boot into TWRP I get this English menu to clear cache and dalvik cache. After installing SuperSU and reboot, I have to reconfigure the phone.

When I do another boot int TWRP everything is in Chinese (different from the first boot into TWRP). Is this correct? How do I know the installation of TWRP described here worked ok?
[Android General] Mathsl:
Ghosting? No, 0 ghosting. The sound it's not poor, the sound it's very good! My sister have galaxy s6 and i prefear letv at all. Colors of this screen are amazing, watch other review , this telephone it's really amazing for me. The only thing i don't like it's the firmware but with LS and the new ROM it's close to perfection. PS. I've unistall stock launcher for nova prime and it's the Top for me. I've cuoco's ROM now with LS 4.3.3 and Dolby atmos it's stock in the rom
[Android General] MaunModi:
My cent .....

> On paper its a killer phone with top-notch configuration

> IR blaster works nice

> Finger print scanner is good and fast

> 2K display is superb

> But the story ends here :(

> Their EUI is awful, crap, whatever bad you can say

> Initially you will feel the premiumness but later you will feel its not upto the mark

> The chin LEDs lights bleeds giving you a cheap Chinese feel

> The camera dual LEDs are not upto mark and I feel even my RedMi 2 gives more light than this dual tone LEDs

> They have gone away from standard Android control buttons and used the Android menu button (normally the left most touch buttons) for their control center. This is where MIUI shines.

> You can't assign buttons to your defined functions

> Camera has panaromic mode but guess what you can take only portrait pictured. People use panaromic mode for landscape but you can't take a landscape panaromic picture

> Battery is OK with respect to a 2K display. I wish it could have large battery like 4000+ mah

> They claim the screen is Gorilla Glass 3 protected but on day 1, I got 2 scratches on its face :(

> Sound is OK not impressive

> They have given only 3 themes to choose. You can't even install more themes. Forget about changing fonts :(

> It has 21MP Sony sensor, but that is usable only for 4:3 pictures. If you want to take 16:9 picture you must set camera to 16MP or below

> Night photography is pathetic

> Even if it has 4GB ram, but their RAM management is poor and 50-60% RAM is consumed by their OS

Finally what I think, at the end of the day you will feel the 'Cheap Chinese' feel on this phone with high-end configurations on paper. I wish they could have a mature software team or at least could have partnered with CyanogenMod otherwise the store could have been different.

---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 PM ----------

Don't worry. Boot normally into your phone and copy again the ui.zip file into TWRP>theme folder and see if that helps. FYI, it has TWRP v2.8.7.0.
[Android General] Manfred73:
Ok, seemed to be working, but now I also got message that there was an update for EUI from 5.5.004S to 5.5.009S, so I updated. Now TWRP doesn't seem to work at all. When I try to boot into recovery mode I get 2 EUI options: "Update system by placing update.zip in SD or root of usb disk" or "Clear data". Seems I have lost my root access now too. How can I get back into TWRP? Installing root access with iRoot also fails with this new version but seemed to work with 5.5004S.
[Android General] Mathsl:
You can personalize all your buttons , look better. Why you say thst i cant use panoramic mode for landscape? I've take some beautiful panoramic landscape picture! Camera is not his strong point but it's not a ****! You can take very good picture. I don't hate comoletely this firmware, 0 lag at all with any type of application even if the RAM is not used very well. You are discrediting're too this phone which costs only € 350.the materials are quality! no plastic crap.

PS, tempered protector screen?to break the glass you have just abused
[Android General] MaunModi:
I will be happy to correct myself. Please tell me ....

> How can I assign the left menu touch button to Menu, remember only single touch not press-and-hold

> How can I take landscape panaromic pictures. When I hold my phone in landscape mode the panaromic onscreen guide still prompts me with dual arrows to move the camera in portrait (up-down) way

---------- Post added at 04:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:45 PM ----------

Looks like the default OEM ROM always removes TWRP with their stock recovery. That happens with MIUI also if we install via fastboot method (correct me).
[Android General] Mathsl:
I have to try, but 1. U can install a non stock camera . and there are some app for favourite buttons... This software is not perfect but the telephone is very good! And the quality is not poor
[Android General] MaunModi:
:laugh::laugh::laugh: friend I'm talking about problem in the phone and in their software. I'm not asking how to solve those problem with 3rd party apps.
[Android General] Mathsl:
yes, but we are not on ios, we are on android! And android it's too cool becouse it's open! We can solve all the problem and have one of the most powerful phone. Don't be negative, stay easy and enjoy our letv x900 ;)

On the contrary of what you said , I'm just now learning to appreciate this jewel
[Android General] le_vente:
The stock features are not good FOR YOU.

You have the right to have Your opinion.

If You don't like anything You have the possibilities to change a lot of things like on many other phones. None of them is perfect for everyone.

Ok, this phone's flavour doesn't meet Your taste.

If You can tell a perfect phone do not hesitate to write about it or simply love it.

When You want a firm to make everrything perfect and suitable maximally to You then You are chasing dreams.

Ok, the stock camera doesn't make landscape panoramas. I never did panoramas in landscape but in portrait BUT there are a bunch of features that stock cameras doesn't offer!!!!

No phone on Earth is giving perfect soulutions to ALL customers did You know it?

So if You need a perfect solution You have to look around a little.

For example the Google Camera which is free gives You the possibility of landscape panorama. And this app makes Photospheres too and there is no stock camera making Photospheres...

And no stock cameras WILL ever offer the full possibilities what camera apps can do:

- Barcode scanner

- Fast cams

- touch focus

- making gifs

- HDR

- Magnifier, microscope

- Time lapse

- Night shot

- panoramas

- timestamp

- torch

- Voice activated shot

- image stabilization

- best face

- smart multishot

- pre shot

- histogram

- a lot of other custimasations

- and so on, and so on...

And yes this camera is 21Mp in 4:3 and when it is 16:9 it is only 16Mp. It is no issue. A lot of cameras are the same.

I admit this phone really has some specific features and if You hate them they will annoy You.

But please let others like things that are different!

Even I do not love all the Letv features but we all have solutions for (almost) them and I say it is a very nice phablet.

I think there is no need of Your rude speech...

Ok the menu button is strange but what if someone just loves it? Or has became familiar with it?

Believe me Letv don't want to be evil for You. They made things and I hope they pay attention to opinions like Yours.

:angel:
[Android General] Manfred73:
Yeah, Seems like it. I followed the whole procedure again of installing TWRP, and now it's back again. Does anyone know how to get rid of all this Chinese stuff? I've already tried some force delete app, this is able to delete some apps, but a lot still remains. It also doesn't remove the icons from the home screen. There is also one home screen with lots of Chinese stuff on it. No idea what it is about and how to get rid of it.
[Android General] Spixe1:
I TOTALLY disagree with all of this guys opinions. Obviously everyone's settings are different and everyone can customize the phone in their own way and use different ROMs. I find no problem witih the LEDs, camera, sound, battery, themes, or RAM. I use a screen protector to protect the glass, because just because manufacturers claim scratch proof doesnt mean it is literally invulnerable to scratches. I think sound is superior, I listen to music on my phone and can go into other rooms and still here it crystal clear, and with headphones its even better. Themes... seriously? Any custom launcher you can download millions of themes... Im seriously surprised the complaint was about download themes on the stock LeTV Android... which there ARE themes for btw, as i was able to download custom themes from its settings. To me, this does NOT feel like a cheap Chinese phone. It feels like a powerhouse. To each his own, but don't let one person's negative opinions influence you too much, try to get an overall feel of its features and get feedback from many people for a balanced perspective, because I personally feel most of the negative points listed here are biased, non-existent, or extremely easily remedied.

---------- Post added at 10:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 AM ----------

No Ghosting here, and the sound is great. LCD is a nice vibrant bright white, no yellow. However, you can change this in your settings by selecting different color profiles. Perhaps the reviewer didn't know that (many reviewers look and play witha phone for 10 minutes and make a review and don't actually live with it and explore all there is to offer, including all the customary options in the settings, like color profiles). Never had any issues with bleeding or ghosting though, nor has anyone ever mentioned it before you.
[Android General] MaunModi:
I too installed stock 9s ROM and saw lots of Chinese stuff and apps which we can't even uninstall. So now I'm settled at Evolution 9s ROM, which is good with Nova launcher. I'll wait for a workable MIUI7 ROM for this phone.

---------- Post added at 04:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:08 AM ----------

I agree different people have different taste and I respect others views. Like I appreciate that you love your phone. Congratulation. Cheers.

Think, Is LeTv my enemy ?I have nothing to do with LeTv. But when I buy a phone with my hard earned money, I've right to give my opinion, which I don't like. I'm not forcing anyone to believe me.

The summary from previous 2/3 members post is that, Nothing can be perfect in this world. If you face any problem find a solution with 3rd party apps or other apps. Try to understand, my post was not for solutions to various problems rather highlighting problems that I find.

Someone told about LED lights are perfect. Later I'll post images of chine LED light bleed and the back LED lights strength compared to much cheaper Xiaomi Redmi2.
[Android General] OrionBG:
Maybe you've got a defective unit or just something slipped quality control... My buttons don't have any light bleeding... all three are crisp icons (or whatever they are called) If you were able to scratch the screen, then you have not cared for the device enough! I have never used a screen protector on any of my phones over the years and I have never had any scratches... Also RAM management is OK. On a Galaxy S6 Edge+ you have less RAM free than on the X900 (1.4GB vs 2.0GB free).

Themes can be downloaded and combined and if you don't like the stock launcher there is Google Play for that.

Almost all phones use 4:3 sensors and you have full resolution only at 4:3 aspect ratio (there are exceptions but not much). Also there are a lot of Camera apps in the Play store if you don't like the stock one.

Oh and by the way, to anybody complaining about the disappearing TWRP, READ People, READ! Almost all stock ROMs come with Recovery partition and when you update your stock ROM, the update process will overwrite TWRP. In order to stop that, you need to flash a custom ROM. There are also some scripts I think that can stop the process on a Stock ROM but I haven't played with anything like that on this device.

Overall the x900 is one of the best big devices on the market right now! Not a perfect one but still good enough! After all, I sold my Galaxy S6 Edge+ to get this one and I haven't regretted it for a second!
[Android General] Manfred73:
I will give the Evolution 9s ROM a try. Does this remove all the Chinese stuff? Any idea when/if a MIUI7 ROM will become available?

I have also bought the Letv x800 (Letv Le 1 Pro). Can I use the same Evolution 9s ROM for this model?

Are there any instructies somewhere on how to install Evolutionair 9s?
[Android General] MaunModi:
As promised, here is the proof of LeMax X900 LED bleed.
[Android General] OrionBG:
Yours x900! Only yours! Mine are not like that!
[Android General] Manfred73:
Don't see that led bleed on mine either. Both x900+ and x800+ look fine.
[Android General] MaunModi:
I'm not surprised with your reply. A picture says thousand words :D

[Android General] STEVE_MARS:
It's a pity that I don't know speak English enough to talk all that I think about this phone.

But I love it, it's a great phone. Screen, camera, aluminium body, earphones excellent.

Battery, sound good.

Soft, poor. Yes, but it's easier to change.

Today I have the opportunity to buy another phone, but now I think that this phone is the best choice for 350 €.

Tomorrow?... I don't know. Perhaps I sold my LeTV, but today I keep into my pocket ;)
[Android General] le_vente:
Stop this, please!!!!!!!!!!

Did You read my post written yesterday?

Ok, You have a defective phone, ask Your dealer for help!

We all understood that panorama is not available in landscape mode. No need of any proof.

We got proof from You that You need more practice in managing Your Android phone.

So as none of us are interested in Your trash talk, please stop it!!!!

Thank You!
[Android General] Realizeyes:
hey. simple, quick question. my dad bought this one just one day ago and we did the system update. but after update we lost our language options. Now it's only english and some chinese stuff which i dont understand. before that update we had Turkish and more languages i guess. Is there anyway to get it back? Or do i need to install a custom rom with multilanguage option(if there is any...)?
[Android General] Spixe1:
Totally agree. The guy complaining about LED problems and such obviously has a defective phone. With your custom ROM and a good app here and there it really does everything and can handle anything.

Stay with us STEVE, don't listen to the haters and crybabies out there. We need your support, your evolution ROMs keeps us going, even if some people can't figure out how to install them (ROMs in general, not specifically your ROMs), haha. Don't let anyone ever tell you we don't appreciate your hard work on this great phone. :highfive:
[Android General] MaunModi:
Think for a moment, if you would have got a phone like mine, what you would have done?

Second, Did I ever say Steve's Evolution ROM is bad and I did not like his work? Come on, have a heart to hear the bitter truth. Even I was a fan of LeTv and active member in their forum. But when I got a phone like this my perception towards this company has changed bring a cheap Chinese company.
[Android General] Spixe1:
Nope, you never said anything bad about Steve, but I didn't say you did either. You're problems, however, are just that - yours, they aren't to be generalized across every user with this phone. Its like if one purchases a defective product and then assumes all products are defective. You generalized your problem to all LeTV x900 phones (and the company in general, calling it cheap chinese quality). The problem was with your specific phone, which needs to be returned or fixed. Its bound to happen to any phone from any manufacturer, be it Samsung, Sony, or HTC. I wonder if you would have called them cheap quality phones and say they all have the same problems as yours as well.

To answer your question about what would I have done? I would have came on here and asked "Hey, does anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it, or is it just me?" like I have done tons of times on this forum already. I certainly woulnd't say "Hey, this phone sucks because it has this problem!"

Anyway, I don't wanna get into a debate here. You are of course entitled to your opinion, and you gave people here things to check out to make sure their phone is also not defective. Assuming theirs isnt though, then no need to claim all of our phones are of crappy quality and has a nice long list of flaws, because obviously its not all our phones, its yours. Sorry this bad experience has left a bad impression on you. I hope you can get it repaired (or exchanged for a new one) soon.
