Flashing instruction

In respons to pm from [MENTION=6831694]khaled9222[/MENTION] I post some flashing information here. It might be useful to other members also.

In order to connect your device properly to your Windows PC for flashing, you need to install the MT6xxx drivers in your PC first.

The latest auto driver installer can be downloaded here:

http://spflashtool.com/download/Driver_Auto_Installer_v1.1236.00.zip

If the auto installer fails to install the drivers properly, the latest MediaTek USB VCOM drivers for manual install can be downloaded here:

http://spflashtool.com/download/MediaTek_USB_VCOM_drivers.zip

Latest SP_Flash_Tool (v5.1524.00) for Windows:

http://spflashtool.com/download/SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1524.00.000.zip

For instructions for how to flash any MTK device please see the attached step-by-step instruction.

OTA updates??

Hi just signed up to ask a question, reading through the thread people have been mentioning ota updates?

I haven't had any firmware updates since getting my Elite 1 on release. I'm currently running LEAGOO_Elite 1_OS1.1.1_S1013.

Have i missed something, because when i click on Wireless Update and Check for Updates it says my system is currently up to date. I'm so confused. I would flash the newer firmware with Flashtools, but i don't want to lose my data and stuff.
[Device Reviews and Information] Mant:
Hello all,

I've got LEAGOO_Elite 1_OS1.1.1_S1106 OTA update, but i have 2 issues:

1) Adaptive brightness doesn't work correctly. Periodically, i cant unlock (and any actions) my phone and i see the following: "Please, don't shelter RED ZONE (shows me upper zone of my phone with indicators and speaker) or press Volume+ and Back button" despite the fact that i don't cover it

2) It can’t connect to my home Wi Fi internet router after using mobile internet (when I come back at home from street) – phone stuck in ‘’obtaining IP address”. if i reboot a phone wifi becomes connected.

Are anyone faced with same trouble?

Maybe i have to make factory reset after OTA update?

PS Sorry for my english :)
[Device Reviews and Information] khaled9222:
First make factory reset

If you still faced same problem do flash firmware
[Device Reviews and Information] ssenso:
just a hint i'm far away from sure but there´s a big thread on 4pda.ru about the elite 1 and i think they rooted it.

I cant test cause i just ordered.

Maybe someone who is able to speak russian could clarify, google translate .......

[Device Reviews and Information] aisyahzainal:
im facing same problem here.

i cant even open my phone, it came out that msg all the time. im getting mad about this phone. what should i do.
[Device Reviews and Information] Mant:
I've read on russian forum, that we need to switch off "Prevent pocket dials" in screen settings

Thank, my friend. I'm from Russia and i dont need to use google translate.

I dont know why but i couldnt find this russian thread before..There are a lot of pages to read, but i will try to find how to solve my problem))
[Device Reviews and Information] MacArthur67:
How could you do that? MTK Droid Tools doesn't work with any 64-bit MTK SoC as far as I know. The program has not been updated since version 2.5.3 and the developer announced (on XDA Forum) that he gave up the project long time ago. The new 64-bit SoCs use a GPT partition table rather than an MBR so MTK Droid Tools shouldn't be of any use here.

"Try the following for root and post back about your experience"

I didn't say I rooted my phone. I came up with a suggestion while I was waiting for the phone.
[Device Reviews and Information] ssenso:
Hope u find something, would be nice if u could share some infos about custom rom and root stability.

If i got it right u need TWRP Recovery 2.8.7.0, Driver_Auto_Installer_v5.1453.03.rar,SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1532.00.zip and SuperSU_Pro_v2.49.zip does this make more sense ?
[Device Reviews and Information] Ninjamoz:
Hello from greece. I have leagoo elite 1

With all broblems you write and one more. Microphone noise.

Also have problem with screen sensor. When you speek and

Take away from ear screen doesn t turn on. I must press power botton,

Then unlock the phone and then turn off call.

I think leagoo didn't check hardware as required.

My problems are

1-screen sensors

2-microphone noise

3-no ota upadate only with flash tool

4-heat message but no in 1106 update

5-screen auto brightness sucks

I ll return it and take my money back. I m just disappointed.

Sorry for my bad english
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
I'm not facing any of these problems, and I use same Build. What do you mean with "Adaptive brightness doesn't work correctly"? does it not dim the display? Mine dims and also brighten the display. the "Please, don't shelter RED ZONE" must be because you enabled Prevent Pocket Dials under Display settings. When you cover the top of the phone (normally when it is in the pocket) it will not wake or unlock accidently. Try to disable the Prevent Pocket Dials.

2) Did you try on other WiFi networks also? maybe it is your router that for some reason gets stuck and don't send out a correct IP address to the phone. Doesn't always have to be the devices fault.
[Device Reviews and Information] Mant:
You're absolutelly right. "Adaptive brightness" is not to blame. The problem was in Prevent pocket dialing. I turned it off and my problem disappeared.

By the way - this options very useful. I wonder, will it works in next updates?

Regarding WiFi - Yes, it doesnt work with my home router. On my work phone connect to WiFi without problem.

May it happens because of wireless security options? Also, i've read on some forum, that i need to change my IP range. Someone said that I have to change 192.168.0.xxx to 192.168.1.xxx.

May it depends? I think this case from fantastic tales, that thrid octet can impact to DHCP request from phone...
[Device Reviews and Information] kladde:
At my parents house I also can't connect to router. And this is the only router my phone could not connect to. Why?

[Device Reviews and Information] Mant:
I'm going to try a couple ways to fix it:

1) Change type of wirereless security

2) Change thrid octet of my home subnet (192.168.0.xxx -> 192.168.1.xxx)
[Device Reviews and Information] Nicholas.K:
This phone cannot connect to 5ghz networks, only 2.4, even though it reports as supported. So your problems regarding wifi could have some roots there.

Following are few of phones shortcomings:

1. No compass. Maps jumping around because of it, whenever you stop.

2. No 5ghz.

3. Phone cannot read sd cards with anything other than fat32.

4. Battery

5. Software with too many bugs, like force closing recent apps. Or if you silent the phone, your alarms get silent too! So don't expect to hear anything in the morning, if you silent the phone at night.

6. Camera. Zoom in a little and you see pixels and colors. You cannot compare the camera even with galaxy s4 13 mp.

7. No nfc

8. No root yet.
[Device Reviews and Information] kladde:
My maps does not jump around when stopped. My works great.
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
1) Leagoo never promised compass, and MANY phones do not have a compass

2) 5GHz is "nice to have" but not really necessary

3) Again, that is normal. Many phones only read Fat32, only the more expensive (500-700USD) phones from LG, HTC etc. read exFat. The first HTC One actually also only read Fat32.

4) Battery could be better agreed, but I can get through the day when I disable unnecessary stuff.

5) Some software bugs, force closing I don't have. For alarms, it actually works, first check that the alarm volume is turned up in sounds > general. Then when you want to mute the phone, use the volume buttons and turn it down until it should the vibration symbol. But be sure that in the notification settings the sound is on all still, because if that is set to none, then the alarm also will mute - and that's the problem! can also happen on other android china phones.

6) Camera is average I would say, on the Bluboo Xtouch the camera is much worse

7) Many phones do not have NFC, including the OnePlus 2. Why is NFC so important? in most countries NFC payment is still not even used.

8) No root, but it is just a matter of time before they have cracked it.
[Device Reviews and Information] Nicholas.K:
Most of these functions are the normal ones on other phones unless you are talking about Chinese phones. For example, the compas, it is so general in other phones that I didn't even think twice before purchasing elite 1. I thought it has it too. And when I got the phone, I encountered problems which I didn't have while driving. This is my second chinese phone, so no experience there until now. 5 ghz wifi... Yes it is a nice feature that most phones support, although going forward.

Supporting only fat32 is not a normal thing in today's phones. Even zte nubia mini supports ntfs and exfat. Using a 64gb sd card, you probably want to use some security features supported with other file systems, specially if you are someone who uses the sd card both in phones and computers.

About the alarm... Should we even think about a workaround? They should think twice before including the alarm volume in the silent profile or give us a way to modify the silent profile, I mean the one which you can activate through notification bar.

It is interesting to see how others think about these "issues".
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
Well, you must not be used to budget China phones, because all these things are pretty normal on Chinese phones. ZTE and Huawei etc. are not budget brands like Leagoo is - but highend brands (the zte nubia mini also costs much more than the Elite 1) Leagoo can't be compared to them, and should more be compared to smaller China brands like Umi, Elephone, iNew, Kingzone, Cubot, Bluboo etc. Only very few models from these brands have things like compass built-in, it's rare it is seen on these China phones. And I have never seen a phone from these that could accept a sdcard in ntfs or exfat.
[Device Reviews and Information] Mant:
I've change wireless security settings to "WPA2-personal" and phone connect to home wifi automatically!

LEAGOO Elite 1 Dot View Case Test (Flip Cover Case)

A very nice cover that I can recommend for everyone with an Elite 1.

[Device Reviews and Information] Nicholas.K:
Thank you for the heads up. So I know what I have to expect when I order midrange Chinese phones. Anyway, it's too late to know about the bluboo xtouch camera. I ordered it a month ago and waiting to receive it. I hoped the camera would be equal or better than this one.
[Device Reviews and Information] carrierlost:
After using the phone a couple of weeks its been working great, but there are a couple of issues:

1) Automatic brightness

It does indeed dim and brighten then screen, but it is too dim for use normal lighting conditions. Is there any way to correct the "offset". In total darkness the auto-bright is noticably dimmer than the minimum setting you can set to manually, so not sure what is going on here

2) Themes

It sometimes switches to another theme while carried in pocket. Dont how it happens, because phone is locked. Any hints?

Wifi at 5Ghz: The chipset actually supports it and if you like put the phone very close to your router it can connect to it and use it.

I dont know what is missing to achieve a usable 5Ghz, probably no proper antenna connected inside or some other circuitry.
[Device Reviews and Information] Daniele DADO:
Rooted !!!

Haaaa ... finally could get rooted !!!

MTK Droid toos not connecting to the phone so :

Installed "LeagooElite1_TWRP2" downloaded from previous posts in this tread with "SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1524.00.000" and scatter file from official Rom (found on needrom) - just ask if you need more instruction, but usual approach

Remaining step is to install SU ... but Droid tools not working so ... just go to recovery mode (vol up + power), playing with the options (sorry, not absolutely sure but I think it was Reboot - Recovery mode it proposed me to install Super User / Root

Accepted, reboot and Super User operational, root granted.

PS : some days ago I went into Engineer mode (post #101). Don't know if it is necessary

Hope it will work for you.

Bye

Daniele
[Device Reviews and Information] Nicholas.K:
Can you tell us if your OTA still working? I mean when you try to update, do you get the message that says there is no firmware available...? or something else?
[Device Reviews and Information] Daniele DADO:
It seeems still operational.

It says your device is up to date
[Device Reviews and Information] lilin:
Hi Daniele ,

Well done !

It is my first android device, so im not sure what to do about scatter file etc.

Can you provide more instructions ? :)

thanks !
[Device Reviews and Information] Daniele DADO:
Rooted !!!

Ok, so ...

first of all, the necessary downloads. You'll find all the links in this tread :

msg #65 : download latest firmware V1.3.1_S1019 (link to needrom)

msg #85 : download TWRP2 recovery and extract

msg #107 : download USB driver if not yet available, than SP Flashtool

Than preparation :

on the telephone, execute instructions of msg #101 (only first 2 steps, the other one not working)

than install USB drivers (execute automatic batch file)

than extract (unzip) latest firmware into a folder

Than you'll find several posts about SP flash tools but basically :

execute SP Flash tool (flash_tool.exe) and select in the "scatter" field the "MT6753_Android_scatter.txt" you'll find in the previous extracted folder

unselect all lines and select only "recovery", than on the same line click on "location" field and go select the "recovery.img" you downloaded and extracted before (msg #85)

ensure "download only" is selected and Phone is not connected to the PC than click on download (green arrow)

power off the Phone and connect it to the PC via USB. SP flash tool will operate and hopefully you will get a green mark when finished.

eventually you can repeat 2 or 3 times the last 2 lines ... even if succesfull, for me it was not really installed the 1st time.

disconnect the Phone and power it up in recovery mode (keep volume up pushed and push power button for a few seconds, than continue to keep volume up until the recovery screen appears (you have the image of the expected screen in msg #85.

Now in recovery go into reboot -> recovery mode and see if it requires for SU (super user) installation.

Try and tell me if you are blocked at any point.

It's quite impossible to brick the phone if you follow the instructions and avoid strange operations ;)

Last suggestion : with this phone, once it's blocked on a screen you are not able to get out (example bootloader in chinese ;) -> just keep power button pressed for up to 20 seconds and it should shut down like every PC.

Bye
