You know what, you may very well be right... I apologise for that. I figured the S3 was a pre-existing model from CN like the Pro3 was.

Though, now my research may have revealed why it wasn't locked... MediaTek chipset, not qualcomm. The pro3 may have simply been easy to lock, or they just didn't think the dev community would have an easy time building roms for the mtk chipset (which, is pretty rare in the aosp/cm rom community).

Scratch that, site with bad info... LeEco just sucks :)
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] HewettBR:
I thought the SOC in the S3 was SD 652 or something like that. I'm new to all this I'm just trying to help. No offense taken
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] dr4stic:
heh, yeah... just caught that too. I never really looked at the S3 so I know little about it. If it's unlockable and only $150, it's a very good deal.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] HewettBR:
I know. I might buy one just to have. Did you get the copy of the pro 3 sources that were posted a while back? I have the zip I can upload for you if you did not. O believe they are still up on the original post google drive as well.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] dr4stic:
I got them, and I did it from the LeEco open source site link. I've been working with them...

I'd get the S3 if I thought the community for it would produce a rom. Sadly, I doubt that would happen. Devices with less-than-flagship specs have a hit-and-miss reputation for getting rom support.

The phone is slick I'm using Nova launcher: I like the design, feel, battery, speed, screen, audio. Really, love everything... except: The camera & body color. The camera has been pretty bad for me so far and I really don't like the gold (almost rose gold) color.

I'm contemplating sending this back to get an Honor 8.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] fuzz_33594:
I am returning mine. Got it yesterday. Very impressed with the hardware. Ran Antutu - 161864, out of the box. Great build quality, stereo speakers decent, but not the same as 6P, M8 I have owned. I'm not a big camera user, but it was fine for me. Logged in to LeEco system to see what it was like. Not good. If LeEco is hoping to generate revenue from EcoPass, I think they will be disappointed - not compelling for US customers. Factory reset, skipped LeEco options, and set up as a new phone using Nova launcher. All my paid apps required me to purchase them again. Cleared play store & play services data and cache and reattemped setup - same results. Another factory reset, this time restored apps from 6P and paid apps loaded normally, but didn't show up in the installed play store list. Tried to uninstall an app and received a message that the app was not installed through the play store, did I still want to uninstall. Downloaded play store apk, disabled current app (could not uninstall), and installed apk, but with no change in play store installed list.

I'm guessing there is something in the EUI setup script that is causing the problem. I had planned on returning the phone because of the locked bootloader, but was waffling because the phone was an exceptional value. The setup issue is troubling. Since the bootloader is locked, I'm not sure that the software can be corrected to the point that I would be comfortable putting banking information on my phone. Its going back.

Although the bootloader cannot be unlocked, Is it possible to root the USA version without bootloader unlock?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] fuzz_33594:
I am uneasy with the apps being loaded from some source other than the Play Store during the setup. (I did not load any financial or my Roboform app because I wanted to verify the system before doing so.) I don't know how the play store is integrated into EUI, but - in all the phones I have ever setup - I have never had apps not show up in the installed column or had problems with apps I had previously purchased. The situation is unacceptable to me and, in the absence of AOSP ROM availability, not something I think an unlockable bootloader would solve.

Instead of flashing, boot recovery_twrp.img (or whatever you changed the name to) and continue on. I wasn't able to push x727-5.8.019s_bootloader-unlock.zip but was able to sideload the file within TWRP and install using the sideload code provided when you start the sideload process (sounds more confusing than it really is). Then back out and root from within TWRP. Phone stays unlocked and rooted! :good:

How about ROM Installer from Jrummy Apps? does somebody tried ? does it work ? or maybe have u got ready programs to instal CM or custom ROMs or MIUI or anything else?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Guides, News, & Discussion] thiago1925:
Ok, first of all, when you connect the phone I think that by default it is in "charge mode only" and then you have to switch to "MTP mode" to PC be able to recognize it.

Plus, when you connect the phone it must be with USB debugging off IF you want to use MTP, I mean, you only will turn USB debugging on to use it with Minimal ADB and Fastboot tool.

If you are already in "MTP mode" and the phone still is not recognized it may be because the "plug and play" software is not working properly and then you can solve it by following this:

1) Go to "Device Manager" and see if the USB device is in yellow and the do a right click on it and choose "update driver" and find it in web

2) You can download Android universal USB driver or Android WinADBUSB (once again I can not post the link)

I checked the qualquomn drivers link above and it is the same I used here.

Other thing I did before it work it is I installed the "1.4.2 Minimal ADB and Fastboot version"

Well it is all I know by now, I hope it can help you!
