LeTV X500/1S - Original ROM from LeTV - 5.5.008S

- Android 5.0.2

- Build: 5.5.008S

- Only English & Chinese language

- Not rooted & no gapps (but follow my guide further down to get both!)

If you have the LeTV X500/1S with an unoriginal ROM (from one of the shops who install a modified ROM with multilanguage) but want the original ROM from LeTV follow these steps:

1. Enable USB debugging on the phone.

2. Download the file from here called "S1_x500-CN-OP-DBXCNOP5500811172S-5.5.008S.zip". Rename it to "update.zip" and copy the file to the root of the phone.

3. Shutdown the phone.

4. Hold volume up and the power button together, as soon you see the LeTV bootlogo, let both go again, and it should boot into the stock recovery.

5. Now check Clear Data so both Update system and Clear data are checked - and then press the Start button

6. Now it will start flashing, now just wait for 10 minutes, and it should boot up and you have a clean new original LeTV system - done!

Now let's install TWRP so we can get ROOT and also install the GAPPS:

1. Enable USB debugging on the phone.

2. Be sure to have installed ADB drivers, you can install http://pdanet.co/a/ for that (this is important to have a working ADB or it will not work!)

3. Download TWRP_ROOT.rar from in here. Unpack the rar file on the PC to C:TWRP_ROOT

4. Connect phone with the PC, copy the "X500-ROOT.zip" file (found in TWRP_ROOT.rar) into the root of the phone and also copy the ui.zip to the phone and place it in Phone storage/TWRP/theme/ui.zip (this will make the TWRP recovery english when you enter it, else it will be displayed in all chinese)

Copy also "open_gapps-arm64-5.0-nano-20151114.zip" to the root of the phone and "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip"

5. Still connected, run the recover.bat on the PC inside the TWRP_ROOT directory

(If there comes a popup on the phones screen just set allow always USB debugging on the phone)

- A commandpromt screen also appears on the PC

- Press Enter there will be a black screen on the phone with a tiny text on bottom left saying fastboot.

- Press on the screen 2 and then press Enter

- On the phone there will be a black screen with tiny texts in the middle.

- Press Enter again and the phone will reboot in TWRP recovery mode that should be displayed in english

6. If you want to ROOT the phone (you can also skip this if you want) then choose in TWRP the Install button and flash the file in root (sdcard) called "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip" reboot and the phone will be rooted.

7. If you want to flash Gapps/Play Store then choose in TWRP the Install button and flash the file in root (sdcard) called "open_gapps-arm64-5.0-nano-20151114.zip" and reboot

8. Done!

If you want to remove TWRP recovery, and flash the stock recovery:

Then go into the C:TWRP_ROOT folder and there you find recovery.img and TWRPrecovery.img - where the recovery.img is the original one. Just swap these 2 files, and run the recover.bat again from step 5. And it will flash the original back on the phone! /Guide by s7yler

If you want the X500 ROM with multilanguage and an app drawer then download the:

"Letv_X500_multilanguage_rom(but_no_OTA).rar" but the bad thing is that this ROM doesnt support any OTA, and it may also be missing some few features, like the IR blaster and QR scanner app is not included. So I recommend to use the official LeTV ROM instead.
