Also samsung is korean so if they use the phone and release there first I would assume so yes.

No just like the note 5 international version does not work with Samsung pay in the USA. Not sure why samsung does this. I also want the exynos version and Sim free unlocked but we sacrifice samsung pay
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Rydah:
It should work as long as you flash a CSC that supports it. So as long as there is some country somewhere that supports it on the Note 7, it'll work. Just make sure you use the US Samsung Pay apks.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] spykol:
I live in Europe and I am an owner of an A5 2016. It didn't come with spay like every other international phone. I was searching aimlessly on apk mirror and one of them with its framework worked ! :D

I cannot justify if the payment worked because I am not allowed to just steal my dad's card and start making payments with it but it most likely worked.

I am after a format so I can't find the apk. I don't really have that much time to dig in the site again because of homework but I guarantee that one of the apk mirror apks will work.

I really want spay too so if you find the working apk and framework post it so that I can install it again. It won't be useful to me anytime soon but I am on a quest;

I want to make my midranger (in terms of software) as good as any other flagship.:laugh:

What happened to this software? Installed it on my Chinese x820 Le Max 2 and it is working great. The FP scanner seems to be faster also! I am curious if anyone is planning to use this as a base for a custom rom, but when I came in the forum this evening, I couldn't find it
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] Aligatz1989:
I think it was removed because the source was unknown. I think there were problems with encrypted partitions....
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] jim262:
Works very well for me. I wiped DATA in TWRP after I installed update. Now all my firmware was updated by doing the update. After the update my phone was encrypted, I simply went into TWRP and wiped DATA after I installed his TWRP backup minus all the boot info. During boot is when that process seems take place, so only system was restored. I then made sure my DATA partition, that I could now see, was mounted and flashed SuperSu. I then added all my root apps as normal. The FP scanner is still somewhat slow, but works almost everytime. I am sorry that this was removed as it is actually better and faster than all previous Roms minus all the Chinese bloat, although a lot of it was changed to reflect US sources, such as all the videos. All in all a very good ROM.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] jim262:
I also forgot to mention my WiFi, Bluetooth connections work better now, as well as, my TMO WiFi calling. The firmware upgrades were needed and the device is faster and smoother now.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] xterminater07:
Jim, can you please highlight the steps need to be done to back up and not have encrypted phone? I am on the 15S pure evolution by teamspain. I don't know if my stuff is encrypted or not but please provide the steps to update to the 16S rom without any hiccups. Thanks!
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] jim262:
Here are the steps I followed. Hopefully this will work for others. My phone is from China, but I do live in US. Supposedly this is supposed to be a US centric rom. Anyhow...

I first made sure I was on stock (15s) with stock recovery or simply flash via adb, a stock recovery image.

Next, I downloaded the ota - firmware-update <5.8_016s_sta.zip> and copied it to the root of my internal storage.

Using the stock file manager I renamed this file to update.zip. Still in the stock file manager, I clicked on it. This starts the upgrade process. After this is complete, all your firmware and most importantly, for me at least, the FP sensor.

However, if stock is fine with you, leave it like this, but your device will be encrypted.

So to remove the encryption which is on the data partition, I rebooted to fastboot mode and used adb.

At the adb prompt, I typed <fastboot boot twrp.img> This boots twrp without loading into your recovery partition.

I then wiped my data partition and re stored using a modified version of the TRWP backup file that I had also downloaded from the same source. I had unzipped this on my C: drive of my PC and removed the boot files <boot.emmc.win and the md5 file>

I then re zipped this and copied to my internal storage and flashed it using the restore option. This restored only system data. The device was now unencrypted and my data drive was visible in Twrp.

I then mounted the DATA partition from inside TWRP and flashed SuperSu.

After that I rebooted normally, I then proceeded to install all my rooted programs as normal. This process should also work with the Indian rom.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] xterminater07:
My x820 is also from china, how do I know if it's encrypted or not? Right now I have the teamspain rom installed, do I need to really go back to stock 15s or can you upload a stock recovery for us. Also how to wipe data partition, and restore with the modified twrp back up? The guy who uploaded the 16s stuff deleted the thread so we have nothing to go with. Can you reupload all necessary files, and how to remount the data partition again from twrp?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] jim262:
I don't have the files. That is why I was looking for them in the first place.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] jim262:
The two versions that have been encrypted, thus far, the Indian version and the US version. All the other Roms do not have encryption. If you can boot into TWRP and see your data partition and mount it, you are not encrypted. This form of encryption merely hides or makes your data partition invisible to third party programs, like TWRP.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] sanke1:
It is leaked firmware for US models with August 1 2016 Android security update and we are still in July. LMAO.

X829_5.8.16s_EN_US_update (Official Firmware with data partition encryption)

X829_5.8.16s_EN_US_rooted (Rooted firmware with data partition decrypted) -> I don't know who rooted it so caution is advised. I am using rooted ROM without problem though. ;)

Apparently, it works on any X820 (China) and X821 (India) model. But after flashing, your phone model will change to X829. I also don't know who leaked it and do not take any responsibility for the firmware causing irreversible damage. :p

I am uploading it to mega.co.nz right now. Uploading stock firmware will take 2 hrs and rooted firmware will take another 2 hrs. I will post the links when done.

Hi. Which languages is available in x829 version ? Do you know also which bands are activated ?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] deadman96385:
May not be the best idea too upload leaked firmware seeing as it got taken down the first time.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] jim262:
I figured that this was the case, since all the software, such vid files in Live, were US related where they are all Chinese obviously in the Chinese version. I also know they have been opening offices throughout the US, but haven't released anything yet in this country. Even though there might be a slightly different model released here in the US, hence the model number being x829, the software is working flawlessly with my Chinese x820.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] sanke1:
If it is official firmware, then I don't see a point why it was taken down. There is no clarity. Did OP himself take it down? The links have disappeared from his site as well.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] deadman96385:
The OP did take it down because he did not know he was not supposed to release it because it was pre-release firmware.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] sanke1:
Well, I have the links ready. Nevermind.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] jim262:
Have you ever heard of a Cease and Desist order? People that leak software can get in trouble with the company that is developing it. Have you ever been a beta tester? I am currently testing for Microsoft and Honor and had to agree to not release any of their software until they are ready for it to be released. If you are a beta tester, you will get bounced from the program and if you're an employee, fired. Plus depending on the severity, you could also end up getting sued.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] sanke1:
I am neither a beta tester nor an employee. But I do respect that the dude didn't want it posted.

Hi all, I'm trying to install this rom via twrp and i'm getting an error failed to install because it can't mount /cust/ partition. I try to mount it in twrp as well but it is greyed out. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] jim262:
I said in a previous post. There is no custom partition in this rom. The error you are getting in TWRP is because this version of TWRP was written in China and for most of their devices, they employ this partition to store additional data. If your version of TWRP has written in the US, you probably would not get this error because this partition is generally not used and is optional. Hence you will always get a cust partition error when installing a rom on a device that does not have one. It will not impede your successful installation of the rom on that device.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] xterminater07:
I have confirmed the gemini twrp was for chinese x820 only. You mention it will not impeded installation of the rom, meaning it should allow me to install it. But it doesn't allow me to install it, it stopped and I have to reboot.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] jim262:
I you look closely at your error message in TWRP. It says it is failing with an error 6. Error 6 has to do with the incompatibility of the update script. This can be erroneous for several reasons. Perhaps there is a firmware/region issue or the developer made an error in the update script or in this case, the update file is incompatible because it is not a flushable zip file. Just place the OTA file that was supplied in the root of your storage. You MUST have a stock recovery installed. Rename the OTA to update.zip and select it. You MUST DO THIS THROUGH THE STOCK FILE MANAGER! By selecting this file, it will start the upgrade process. Please do a search on this and follow it step by step. I know this works because I am writing to you on it.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] xterminater07:
I do not have the OTA files for 016S :( I just have the rooted full image that was uploaded
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] jim262:
Then you probably need to update the firmware. Mine refused to flash until the firmware was upgraded using the OTA. After that I could flash and installed the rooted version today and verified it is indeed decrypted and fully functioning.

Okay now I'm facing a new issue how to dualboot this rom 16s with cm13
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] NexusPenguin:
Hi,

To be able to do a real dual boot, you have to get something like "MultiROM manager".

But before you can install it it has to be developped. And only few devs are skilled enough to do it... which means the probability to have a MultiROM Manager for the x820 is really scarse...

In other words : there is no way so far (and there probably never will be) a way to dual boot your x820.

Sorry...
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] Maminejomaa:
What should I pick then cynageonmod or the original eui
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] NexusPenguin:
Hi

That choice ils colpletely up to you !

In any case you can customize the device further using XPosed and GravityBox... But that has more success with CM than EUI as the latter ils heavily modified to look like iOS !

I must admit I like it but I still use CM...

[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] JohnnySJ:
I second this.

Just got a X829 (6gb version) and while the seller was kind enough to install this American rom version, they always do some sort of modification to the rom, to remove the OTA update option, and this modifications always cause problems with apps that look for root or modifications of any kind. For example: Android Pay and Pokémon will not work on this rom. I am not a developer, but i was able to solve this on another LeEco model by installing the update file via stock recovery. So if anyone out there was able to download the stock update version of this leaked rom, it would be greatly appreciated if it was uploaded. I already looked in many sites online, and even in other international forums, and most mentioned this thread, but unfortunately it seems like everyone downloaded the rooted TWRP version, but not the standard update file; wich would be extremely useful for us, non developers. Thanks in advance.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] trentbg:
I don't get it too, it's been an year since the phone launched and there is zero help anywhere on how to install the stock firmware that has the OTA, or even download the firmware, it seems impossible that there were not at least several different official firmwares released for x829 in the last 12 months.

I can only imagine that plenty of people bought that phone, especially in the last few months, with the price going under $200 and no one is discussing it or offering help, is it like forbidden peace of technology or something? I mean seriously, what is the deal.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] alveox:

Well you should read in details what I wrote and the person above me too, we dont want to deal with TWRP, just the stock rom with the normal build in update process, thus we need the stock rom, any of them. Not everyone here is a Android guru.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] Moon75:
I bought X829 got the phone last week it came with stock 5.8.016S.

I installed TWRP recovery and flashed few custom roms, no problem its working fine. Most people on XDA know how to root phone and install TWRP and flash custom rom. Perhaps chance to learn something new for people who don't know how to do it.

It's simple not complicated most of us can do it. This way its more convenient I think.

All the help is on this forum, so it should be fine. Just read some stuff and ask if you need to, Goodluck
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] trentbg:
Thank you, since yours arrived with 5.8.016S (which is super old indeed) was there no OTA that arrived after you turned on the phone? I am just very surprised that there are multiple new roms for the x820 and x821 versions, but the x829 is still with a rom that is almost an year old. Very weird.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] :
I got my brand new Leeco Le Max 2 X829 today and it indeed came with the 5.8.016S firmware as well. Seems like some third party retailers put this firmware or something on it as it lacks OTA support etc
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] trentbg:
That's unfortunate...From here what are our options? Chinese or India roms (not ideal), or custom roms (even less ideal, at least for me). Interesting why no later versions of the ROM were released by LeEco for this x829.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] :
Our options here are basically to install either the roms available for the other models of the phone and then always using TWRP to update. There is a reason why these are sold so cheap and it's probably a "failed stock" for the US launch that never really took off as they expected, so they dumped these for a cheap price at third party stores.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] trentbg:
Yes that definitely makes sense. If we Flash the stock Chinese ROM is that going to change the radios for the US carriers, or they will remain the same?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] :
I have not done enough tests as I got the phone today, but I would assume they would stay the same as before. In any case, I recommend making a full backup of modem etc before flashing anything so you can revert if it turns it would not work.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] trentbg:
Yes this will be the plan mine arrives this week so I'll play around and see, and of course report back.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] thetrukos:
X829 never had an oficial release in the us market, so no oficial support. Instead leeco launched le 3pro and s3.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] Moon75:
Rom for all Le Max 2 variants are interchangeable, you can flash other variant new stock rom like 820/821/822 on X829. I think I did try check for OTA when I first got the phone but it did not detect one. So I installed TWRP (v3.0.2) and flashed custom rom. Stock rom like India 5.8.019S, China 5.9.021S, 5.9.023S can also flash use TWRP. I just did it in the last few days it working fine. China stock rom mentioned got no Playstore so you need to download Google play service apk and Playstore apk and install it.

ADB and Fastboot for X829:

When you connect phone to computer it will detect your X829, ADB will detect it via command prompt. After you reboot it to Fastboot mode it got some issue detect the phone for command: "fastboot devices", you need to download X829 driver in below link and install via device manager (while the phone in Fastboot mode) and select have disk and point it to the driver folder (unzip) you just downloaded. It should detect the phone, then you can install TWRP, if other TWRP version not work try 3.0.2 from official site. For root you just need to flash Supersu beta 2.67 in TWRP, then the phone should be root.

Fastboot driver X829, working for Windows 10, I not test for Windows 7/8:
