Hello!

Could you check that the newest firmware has any suspicious malware or virus? Is there any experience about the latest rom?

Thanks!

I bought an elite one in August when I turn off the phone the next day no work widgets, someone have this problem?

I wrote email to leagoo but they sent me a flash firmware but it does not work you can help me ? will be an update to marshmallow ?
[Device Reviews and Information] dingoland:
Hi Zedok,

The new firmware has 3 virus/malwares, the same than the older firmware but with another names and can be disabled in Parameters/apps (beautysnap, batterymaster and leagoo share).

I installed this new firmware by OTA since some weeks and i find it very laggy, my phone is slow and the battery is draining faster than the old firmware.

I suspect Leagoo to block the processor frequency lower for battery life but without results as the processor becomes warm and the battery is powering the phone less than the previous firmware and my use is very light with screen on.

For example, i charged battery this morning at 100% and now it stills me 39% with bluetooth on, 3 sms write and 1 email check (1 hour screen on in the worst case).

Has anyone these problems too ? or is it my phone having an hardware problem ?

Are they capable to provide a normal firmware without problems or virus ?

In each new firmware, they add a new tip mode for the battery but it is inefficient and worster than the previous.

I hope the android 6 will solve a lot of these problems.

Regards

Greg

Hello,

Since the last rom update, my weather widget is not working, it cannot update and tells me that there is no network available (by wifi and 4G the same error).

It is a widget i added, the Leagoo widgets are working fine.

Regards

yes bro, im using 1.1.1_S160701.. OTA update. runing smooth for 2 weeks till now.:good:
[Device Reviews and Information] preditcon:
Are there any live links to a recent official non-my rom for this phone?

Edit: a collection of firmware for this device may be found here: https://yadi.sk/d/SFppjJQptr6MA

Leagoo sent me a link to X5601_OTD_ELITE_5365U_V1.6.6_S160612.rar, but it appears to be corrupted (downloaded several times). I'm unable to open in with 7zip and therefore have no access to its scatter file. I did find X5601_OTD_ELITE_5365U_V1.3.1_S1019-s7yler on needrom, but somehow doubt it is official.

I'm also trying to figure out why this phone suddenly stopped working for a relative of mine. It boots up but then behaves erratically; it only shows the battery status in status bar, everything else is black, except the LEDs behind navigation buttons. Sometimes it displays a greenish page in Russian (probably an initial setup after factory reset), which is completely unresponsive and sometimes flashes to black. Volume buttons seem to work, but with major lag. I think it succumbed to some sort of malware, which (after reading this thread) sounds like it is to be expected with Leagoo OTA containing trojans.

I can only boot into stock recovery (it says it is an Android system recovery <3e> LEAGOO_Elite 1_OS1.1.1_S1106) and can't do much with it. Tried a factory reset, but it doesn't help (doesn't touch system, only user data). What is interesting is that the integrity check feature fails while complaining about a potential malware app I read about in this very thread (uint8 something something). I'm not even sure this is running a stock ROM. It does boot into fastboot, but it seems to be useless since all handy commands fail with "unknown command". Perhaps since USB debugging and OEM unlock are disabled (can't access them since the ROM settings are inaccessible).

Anyone else observed what I wrote about on their phone?

Edit:

wow, this phone is in complete cluster**ck. Just flashed X5601_OTD_ELITE_5365U_V1.3.1_S1019-s7yler and it displayed same symptoms as whatever was on it previously (see images). Just shows strange artifacts after booting. I flashed TWRP2 and it works flawlessly - there's nothing wrong with the display. I have no idea what is going on.
[Device Reviews and Information] BaklyCZ:
Hello, do you have experience with freeze after root? After I rooted it, phone works normal. But then, when I reboot phone works only for few seconds. After about 10 sec green logo Leagoo appears and phone freeze. I tried using Kingoroot and TWRP recovery, but the same result.
[Device Reviews and Information] Jonesblake:
The highlights of the Leagoo Elite 1 are the FHD display, 3GB RAM and 32GB ROM, 13MP front camera + 16MP back camera, but it also has short points: 5.0-inch display is a little small, the Android 5.1 and 2400mAh battery are also not so imressive. For this price or lower, the new released vkworld T1 Plus with 6.0-inch display, 4300mAh battery is a good option, and it is going to be pre-sale soon, what is your opinion about it?
[Device Reviews and Information] Lanfear28:
Any chance we get MM for this phone?
[Device Reviews and Information] skinheadXhc:
I just recieved and installed new ota update s160701, anyone else got this
[Device Reviews and Information] vincio3:
I still didn't receive this last OTA update. Which Android version is? Maybe 6.00?
[Device Reviews and Information] skinheadXhc:
Nope still 5.1, im waiting for 6.0 too. i updated and lost root access, and now kingoroot doesnt work for me anymore :/

Root without KingRoot

On 4PDA I've seen they released the v1.72 S20161030 you'll find a mirror here

- I've made a full backup of my current version v1.71. Then I installed it with SPFT and checked in the stock recovery that it pass the genuine test.

- Then I flashed the TWRP2 recovery (I could'nt test the v3.0 one from 4PDA, the link they provide is down).

- Into the TWRP recovery, I made a System backup of the untouched genuine v1.72 and you can get it there.

- Then I mounted System partition R/W and remove the unwanted apps: /system/priv-app/LBE*,MakeupOuteda and /system/app/bguistore,dianchuan*,LBEBatMaster*,Operamini (for myself I would remove a lot more)

then to be safe I unmount System partition and reboot into System.

- Once power On I pass every init step, so the system remains in English, with no account, and no first location.

- Then I run Google Settings App and disable Security checking, Location and Local search

- In android Settings menu in Dev options, I allow OEM Unlock, and don't verify Apps over USB

- Then I exit and reboot into recovery, and once into TWRP2 I exit and swipe to allow Root with SuperSU

- I reboot and from Android, I install Super SU 2.78 (and BusyBox and Terminal but that was not mandatory).

- Then with TWRP I made a other full backup for you if you're interested.

And now I have a clean rooted Elite 1 without all the garbage and spying of a KingRoot solution. As you can see it's easy to reproduce.

I share this solution now but to be honest I already did it some times ago on v1.71 when this version appeared and had not any issue.

In my case, in TWRP I've restored my previous v1.71 Data partition with all my Apps and setings using Nova Luncher and no Google account so I could remove few other apps from the system with the embedded File Explorer :

/system/priv-app/Bakup Restore Config, Google Backup Transport, Google FeedBack, Google First Init,Google Partner, Google Login Service, GoogleSyncProviders, HotKnot*, PhoneSky, Prevent Pocket Dial and iBingoLauncher2 (the Leagoo launcher)

/system/app/Basic Dreams, Calculator, DRM Private database, Email, Gmail2, Holo Wallpaper, HotKnot, LiveWallP, PartnerBkmPvd, PhaseBeam...

--

Warning

:

1) Rooting and removing Apps from the System partition prevent Leagoo to apply an update. You'll have to restore genuine System partition (with TWRP or SPFT) in order to upgrade.

2) OTA download still works even after root but v1.72 may not be eligible. Who knows? Leagoo.com removed the official firmware download page from their website, the only updates are OTA and leaks from the support (Out of the S160506 version from Malaysian website which is outdated).

Hope it helps
[Device Reviews and Information] skinheadXhc:
U sir, u are the real MVP. Thank u very much, i appreciate your effort and time u put in to help me. In few years on xda (im still kind of newbie) no one gave me this much detailed help. I will try this now with your full backup (easy way :), thank u for uploading ) . So just to clear some things, before every update i need to flash clean untouched system partition , then apply update through stock revovery to make it work. Last update i got trough ota had some battery drain issue so i reflased shipped fw (from 100% to 0% about 4h - last ota, shipped fw 8-9h). How much do u get with v1.72?
[Device Reviews and Information] xmh+xda:
Thanks, it was my pleasure! ;) I see so much people complaining they can't root. And for me it's a mandatory condition, being able to root my phone.

Yes, but the FOTA WILL erase the TWRP recovery in order to test if System is genuine and run the the upgrade ( it's not only to bother you but as a differential package, it has to be sure to apply on the reference software). And if you make a Data partition backup, you should be able to restore it after the upgrade.

If we consider that Leagoo just elected to FOTA the v1.70, more than 4 months after it's release (buid S20160701) you won't receive any other FOTA before a long time. And I'm very skeptical about the release of an Andoid 6 version. Forums are not very active, I guess it depends of the amount of sales they still make with the Elite 1 and I fear it's not that much. People seems more interested in 5.5" devices.

It's difficult for me to tell if battery drain is better or worse, the battery is slowly aging and the conditions don't remain the same, especially regarding screen backlight which is the higher energy consumer. I remove a lot of autostart apps and it may have a good effect on wakelocks. It's quite a long time I found an issue in the "standby intelligent power saving" option and now let it always unchecked.

This give me an idea, I'll fully charge my phone before sleeping an let it drain over the night, offline but with "intelligent power saving" ON, then we'll see tomorrow if Leagoo resolved the issue. The draining rate should allow almost 4 days in this case.
[Device Reviews and Information] xmh+xda:
v1.72 has good battery saving.

The test on my phone with OS v1.72 I made yesterday shows that the wakelocks issue with option "Standby intelligent power saving" ON is solved. Total wakelocks didn't exceed 1% thru whole day.

It may be corrected in previous versions but which I can't tell as I don't activate this option any more since v1.63.

In Idle mode with only 3G and no data I only lost 1% in 4h30. Projections on the curve shows an autonomy of about 15 days with a battery fully charged.

Of course we all know we don't have the autonomy of a S7. At 100% of backlite, the projections show an autonomy of about 5h, and 9h30 for browsing the web at night with a backlite of ~30%.
[Device Reviews and Information] skinheadXhc:
Im glad they fixed it cause i was worried i break the battery with non stop charging. Is there any way to contact leagoo support to find out about 6.0.0 or at least. Should I try on Malaysian site? Im little boring now since i successfully rooted, installed xposed, lot of modules, ported apps.. I have no idea what to do now with my phone, even tried to port twrp 3.0.2.0 but with no success :D if u have idea pls share XD

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz8BnZ7YvtbOdUNzRzRKcDZwc0E/view here is the twrp 3.0.2.0 v for our beloved phone
[Device Reviews and Information] xmh+xda:
Were does it come from? You don't tell.

I tried it and it's OK:

- The GUI is TWRP genuine, no custom theme. It's multi-language but only European (Greek, Russian, Czech...), not Asian (Chinese, Malaysian, Japanese...)

- It could restore files from a previous TRWRP 2.8 backup but prior I had to move the files from /TWRP/BACKUPS/Elite_1 to the new ../X560xxxx folder.

- This version can manage USBOTG too, I could copy a full backup from internal SDCard to OTG

- Battery Level seems buggy, it seems to work only once an USBOTG key is inserted, otherwise it shows a default 50% (as the 2.8 version did).

[Device Reviews and Information] remlato:
Hi Guys!

first thank you all the infos in this topic.

i have a problem, i can't log in my google account.

first i wiped my phone becouse battery problems, and after i realized if i try to log in, nothing happen. no error message, just drop back the accounts window and nothing. tried settings log in, tried app log in (gmail, play, calendar, etc).

i tried older roms (1019, 1211, and now the new 1031 with xmh+xda's twrp).

tried full wipe, delete cache, doesnt work.

have anybody some suggestions?

edit: i tried wifi/3g as well on leagoo, but with my old sony, works the log in.

edit2: solved! i had to downloaded the newest google play services (238) and after upgraded i can log in, but google play services didnt work properly, so i had to uninstall upgrades, and upgrade again on the play store.
[Device Reviews and Information] preditcon:
If you ever consider sending this device back to China for a warranty repair, don't. Just don't. I have good reason to believe that Leagoo repair service is a scam or that they are simply incompetent.

We sent a phone to them according to their own instructions, yet they failed to pick up the package when it was delivered to their post office branch with zero explanation as to why. The package was just sitting there for a month, despite our attempts to make them pick it up. After a month the package started its auto-return process (undeliverable). We complained and they managed to cancel the process and the package got sent back to their local post office branch. Guess what? It has now been sitting there for almost another month - in fact I expect it to auto-return again in a couple of days.

Despite us begging them to pick it up, this never happened. They even claimed there is no package with the provided tracking number in one of their confused responses. And they managed to cancel the return process how exactly? How am I able to track it? The warranty expired a couple of days ago. How convenient is that?

Leagoo elite 1

I read this thread and it seems there are a lot of problems with this phone. Can anybody give an update on if these problems are fixed in latest official ROM ?
[Device Reviews and Information] jorsik:
Hello. My Elite 1 is stuck at leagoo logo when booting and never reaches UI, what are possibilities here? I can see phone contents on my PC, can I delete something for it to come out of loop? If I choose "backup user data" in system recovery mode, can I restore everything after factory reset? I just want to export everything I have on that piece of sh*t, then I'll get a decent new phone.
[Device Reviews and Information] cfour4ik:
All kind time of day. I apologize in advance for my English. I use a translator. Please help. Some time ago I tried to install root on my phone Leagoo Elite 1. I on XDA forum advised to install the firmware version S1019 I did all the instructions but the phone does not start at all. Not respond to any buttons. I tried to reflash the phone to another firmware version. All versions that I tried just successfully installed but the phone still did not want to run. The only firmware version that ran the phone version S161210. But this version runs very slow. Please give me some advice what should I do?

[Device Reviews and Information] Matt_85:
has anyone Cumulative patch firmware 1.6.1+ ? i read about it on 4pda and solves numerous bugs ,but the link is dead !

thanks in advance! :cowboy:
[Device Reviews and Information] pjcarrmole:
It's a good phone, feels very premium, great camera. I NEED root but I'm sure it'll come fairly soon. The main complain it that the firmware seems a tiny bit beta. For example, whilst the fingerprint sensor works really well, it keeps the screen on permanently when locked and drains battery like crazy. Without that the battery life is pretty good... better than I expected (probably as there's very little bloatware, as it's pretty close to vanilla Android). If Leagoo keep on top of things (after all it is their flagship phone) and bring out a couple of firmware updates it could be brilliant.
[Device Reviews and Information] MacArthur67:
That sounds rather alarming. How is the behaviour of that? I'm not sure I understand. Are there any work-arounds? Disable the touch-ID?
[Device Reviews and Information] HypoTurtle:
I'll try and detail the steps needed to get root (and have copy of stock recovery).

#1 Need to get a copy of the devices kernel

This needs to be done with SPFlash so we need a compatible scatter.

So download a scatter from a similar device (one attached);

Install a termimal emulator, run "cat /proc/partinfo"

Adjust the scatter, so the values match

(I think you should be fine if you strip the scatter.txt after the recovery entry)

Using this scatter and the values for recovery - use readback in SPFlash to get a copy of the stock recovery.img

Open the recovery.img and you'll get a copy of the kernel.​

#2 Swap the kernel in a similar recovery

Any recovery for mt6732/35/52/53 should do. I'll attach mine - think it's 2.8.6.0​

#3 Flash the new recovery.img

Either with SPFlash or fastboot​

#4 Boot into recovery (hopefully) and flash a SuperSU.zip to get root.

If you post the stock recovery.img I should be able to port it (I should be able to do it on device).

Fyi. to see hardware info it's "cat /sys/hwm_info/hw_module_info"
[Device Reviews and Information] pjcarrmole:
Not that alarming, I've just swapped to pin code until it's rectified, for the sake of better battery. All other security policies allow the screen to properly to turn off.
[Device Reviews and Information] MacArthur67:
Thanks again for info. I think it's a little bit alarming that they relase a phone like that on the market. I mean, one of the biggest marketing points for this phone is the press-style figerprint ID, but it's in fact useless on the current fw. I guess I'll buy it anyway for the camera and the MT6753.
[Device Reviews and Information] kladde:
How popular is this phone? Should i go for xiaomi or jiayu? I need good battery, working gps and dual sim.
[Device Reviews and Information] MacArthur67:
Xiaomi is a big famous brand but the phones have no full support for EU 4G LTE bands/frequencies. Some models have support for LTE B7 2600 MHz used in cities in EU, but no model has support for B20 800 MHz, used outside big cities in EU. I have only good experience of JiaYu before the S3 and before they went bankrupt a few months ago. The S3 will will probably never get a working LP firmware and the MT6752 SoC in it has terrible overheating problems in all devices from all brands that I have tested. The rumour has it that JiaYu has been reconstructed as a company and will be back again soon.
[Device Reviews and Information] kladde:
Do you have leagoo? Are you happy with it? I will look more into redmi note 2 and leagoo elite 1.
[Device Reviews and Information] lilin:
Hi,

I'm using the Elite 1 since 3 days, and so far Im happy with it.

It is very well built, screen is good and battery lasts 10 hours.

I found 2 drawbacks:

* fingerprint reader does not work with third party lock screens (even if they are compatible with samsung readers)

* multitask app switcher is very bad (and I dont know how to replace it
[Device Reviews and Information] kladde:
This was not good.
[Device Reviews and Information] lilin:
I can give some context about the 10 hours:

* heavy 4G network use

* moderate wifi use

* GPS on

* bluetooth on (connected to pebble)

My old iPhone 5 was also performing 10hrs in same context
[Device Reviews and Information] lilin:
Does anyone successfully rooted the elite 1 ?
[Device Reviews and Information] MacArthur67:
How about the touch ID issue with that it keeps the screen on permanently when locked and drains battery like crazy, as previously reported by [MENTION=3767226]pjcarrmole[/MENTION] in this thread? Has that problem been solved? Do you have a later fw than him? What's wrong with the multitask view? Does it have the nowadays common (for Chinese phones) iOS rip-off appswitcher? With root it would be quite easy to change to a stock LP switcher. Maybe some Xposed module.
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
Post #1 now updated with a full "Hands-on" video.

Using the Fingerprint scanner does use some extra battery, but I don't see it as a "crazy" battery drain. The screen goes black/off, but the screen may still be active because it also supports offscreen gestures, but I see that as normal. Nothing wrong with the multitasking view, but it just shows a icons in a row, not as real cards, that may be the problem.

I believe all the phones come with the same Build/Firmware, there is no newer OTA update yet. Hopefully Leagoo are going to release some updates! They definitely have to, if they want to be seen as a professional brand.
[Device Reviews and Information] kladde:
How good is gps?

I have recently received a reply from leagoo and they are saying that there is a new update released. So is it or not?

I am asking because i am close to buy this phone.
[Device Reviews and Information] lilin:
Yes no real problem with fingerprint / battery. But to use the fingerprint you have to use the default lockscreen app. And I dont realy like it (custom background are stretched in a weird way, and as far as I can see notification are only icons with badge count).

About multitasking view, it is only icons yes: no cards/preview. But my problem is that it crashes 50% of time.

I have no experience in rooting phones, so Im stuck with these problemes until a Leagoo update :/

Except these 2 problems, I love this phone :)
[Device Reviews and Information] MacArthur67:
Offscreen gestures means that the digitizer is on even though the LCD is off. I have phones where that feature alone is 40% of the battery drain in standby (screen off, all radios on except BT, good signal). It sounds like it's the offscreen gesture function (digitizer on in stanby) that's the real culprit here and not the touch ID. Can you switch off the offscreen gestures but keep touch ID on?
[Device Reviews and Information] lilin:
Yes, Fingerprint and gesture are not related To eachother.

+ Fingerprint reader only works if phone is awake (pressing your finger on home button do the trick)
[Device Reviews and Information] kladde:
Aboyne how is the gps?
[Device Reviews and Information] s7yler:
Yes that is possible, and it also seems to help a little bit.
