Anyone experience an issue where the PC sees the ADB DEVICE and succesfully reboots into fastboot mode, but the PC doesnt see the fastboot device? My Le Pro 3 does say YOU'VE ENTERED FASTBOOT MODE.

I just installed the newest MINIMAL ADB AND FASTBOOT.
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ExTREmE99:
you will likely lose the ability to install future OTA updates unless you do a full system image dump before you flash anything. here's what i would do (taking from OP's post)

This is the procedure I followed:

Have ADB/Fasboot tools on your computer (I am not helping you here, it you're lucky, maybe your friends will help)

Make sure you have enabled the developer tools, turned on USB debugging, and authorized your computer on your device (again, I'm not helping with that)

Make sure adb can see your device when you run "adb devices"

Run "adb reboot bootloader"

Run "fastboot devices" to make sure you see your device

Run "fastboot oem unlock-go" to unlock your device temporarily

Run "fastboot oem device-info" to verify unlock status

Run "fastboot boot recovery_twrp.img" (or whatever the twrp image filename is on your computer) to boot up to TWRP

NOTE: If you don't read chinese and you haven't done this before, you'll be presented with a screen in chinese with two buttons next to each other and a swipe underneath them. THE BUTTON ON THE RIGHT lets you change the language. Press it, thank me later.

After changing language to english, hit cancel, and TWRP will ask you if you want to mount TWRP in read/write or read only, select "keep read only"

Go to Wipe, Format Data, type "yes" to wipe the entire data partition

Hit back, go to Backup, select "Boot" and "System Image", and backup the thing, then copy it to your computer for safe keeping after its done. It will take a while.

Zip it up and post it for us here because everyone who hasn't done this will likely never be able to install an OTA again unless someone does the above for us :(

Thanks for the detailed instructions [MENTION=323677]ExTREmE99[/MENTION]! Suhridkhan has posted his TWRP backup herehttp://xdaforums.com/le-pro3/how-to/le-pro-3-lex727-twrp-backup-eui-5-8-019s-t3504761.

I'm going to hold off on this for a bit. In the Le technical forum, Le is promising access to camera API 2 in a future update and hopefully better picture quality. They will also provide 2 years of software updates (no specifics). There are a lot of improvements that could be made. I would like to see what they come up with. But I think it's totally awesome what everyone here is doing. If it turns out that I can't stand the stock software anymore, it's nice to know that I have options to make modifications now that bootloader is unlocked.
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] ExTREmE99:
there's no confirmation that his TWRP backup is a backup with TWRP mounted as read-only. if he ever mounted it as read/write we're all screwed until someone like you (that hasn't ever booted TWRP/read-write) can backup the system image for us while mounted as read-only. i'll likely be able to save my S3 as i have a friend buying the S3 tomorrow so i can pull the 18S system image off there in read only mode to help all the guys stuck on the S3 without OTA capability, but i don't know of anyone personally who i can use to pull the Pro3's

Hey, guys! I've originated a return process with Le Eco for my Le Pro 3 - I can't stand their EUI!

Those who unlocked and rooted - your Android Pay is obviously not working anymore, right?

I'm actually considering One Plus 3T - it will most likely get CyanogenMod sooner than Le Pro 3...

May I ask how you began a return with them? I'm having to many issues with this, other than battery life, and would be interested in returning this.
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] suhridkhan:
Thank you for your trust in my backup!!! However. I am not trusting myself.

Honestly, I don't recall how I mounted my system before doing the backup. I guess only way to know is to wait until the next ota drops. I am not holding my breath. So, if someone still have their system intact, please do a backup as instructed few posts above.
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] PashaF:

[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mumboender:
I literally waffle back and forth every few minutes on whether to return it. I think mine is only a 15 day window, but SD821 and huge battery is a winner, as is build quality. Crappy software, and worrisome development path not to mention upgrades may not occur weigh against it...

A little off topic for this thread, but for those returning the phone [MENTION=4744172]PashaF[/MENTION] and [MENTION=512174]mumboender[/MENTION]: I haven't actually bought the phone yet. Was ready to buy on Friday for $249 with coupons. However, Honor 8 is on sale right now for $289. Thoughts?
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] PashaF:
Don't know much about Honor 8.

But as we've stated before - Le Pro 3 is an amazing phone with terrible ROM and doubtful future because of that.
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] mumboender:
I think it's a toss up and I would lean to the lecco. Huawei phones other than the 6p have not had great development either and their skin sucks too...check out the honor forums and they read like the leeco forums.
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] kravmama1:
Thanks. Huawei is actually partnering with XDA for Honor 8 Nougat update and just rolled it out to some beta testers, so support for the Honor 8 may be good. Decisions, decisions.... Anyway, this discussion doesn't really belong on this thread. My apologies and thanks again for your opinions.

I'm unlocked and rooted with SU installed but I must have forgotten the "read only" portion when installing TWRP and now my recovery is back to stock. Is there a way to install TWRP without going through the whole process? Can I just ADB back in to fastboot and run "fastboot boot recovery_twrp.img" without issue or is there another way?

Thanks in advance!
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] seffmono:
Hi, since it's already unlocked, you can flash the recovery from fastboot with the following command "fastboot flash recovery recovery_twrp.img" or since it's already rooted you can also use the other methods without fastboot mode. Download and install "Rashr" from play store, lunch it and give it root permission, then search for the recovery.img using the Rashr file manager and flash it.

NB: If flashed by Fastboot, boot directly into recovery from bootloader screen by pressing down volume + power buttons keep holding until the recovery screen appears. After that you can reboot the system from twrp.

If flashed from Rashr, it will ask you if you want to reboot into recovery, choose reboot into recovery. After boot the system from twrp.

Note: if you boot the phone(system) directly from fastboot mode, the stock recovery will boot up back.

Hope that helps.

This is supposed to be a fail safe back up, in case sth goes wrong while rooting, bootloader unlocking.... Specially when the system is modified, future OTAs may not work. So, we hope that this will allow us to return to complete stock rom. This should be used from TWRP Restore options.

my apps in google store is empty

Hi,

After root, wipe everything, restore all my apps from google play store.

But the Tab My Apps is empty in google play store, The Tab all apps say application is installed.

Basicly, I have everything restore but, They do not appear in ''My Apps'', so all apps can't be update.

I have tried,

wipe cache/dalvic of google play store, and all systeme.

uninstall google play, reinstall it.

and finally factory reset.

Every time I clear cache of google play store, My Apps tab is empty.

the problem persists,

Is this because I restore Apps from other devices (LG G3).

I do not have SIM card installed, I dont know if It would change anything.

Thank alot for helping
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] suhridkhan:
Hi, give it a day or two to settle. Sometimes google play store takes time to identify a new device.

If you go to playstore from a computer, and try to install an app from there, do you see this device listed?

If available try putting a sim card, that might expedite things a bit.

In the account settings keep all the sync enabled, for that google account. Including app data. You can remove them when things sort out. Also, enable google now.

No, it should not be, because you restored from a different device.

4. using adb to see the device...

however, "adb devices" ends up in list of devices attached (blank)....then adb reboot bootloader causes no device/emulators found

I can use "fastboot" oem device-info and it can pull up the "device unlocked: false" part ... so i'm assuming it is connected

I cannot use the "fastboot oem unlock-go" as it results in "remote: oem unlock is not allowed

Did you flash the aboot file, then reboot? It'll ask for a password. Just power down and return to fastboot mode by pressing Pwr button + VOL Dwn. You should be able to unlock and then flash TWRP. When you enter TWRP, wipe, so that the password pop-up will stop.

Do u wipe delvick and cashe or the internal memory only

LeEco Pro3
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Ace42:
All three of them. The phone is encrypted by default, but wiping the internal sdcard/data partition will remove that and the password pop-up. I rooted 20s a few days ago. You'll want to push SuperSU to /sdcard/, since that partition will be erased.
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] toanau:
If I do a full wipe doesn't it wipe out the whole OS? Or do I store that in separate area to flash afterwards

LeEco Pro3
[LeEco Le Pro3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] Ace42:
Not a "full wipe" in that way. You never touch /system, /EFS and a few other partitions. Data, cache, and dalvik are okay. You can wipe /system when flashing a different ROM, or when reflashing the same ROM over an older install.

Basically, what I'm saying is that /data needs to be wiped. This directory contains the virtual sdcard, which is where user files are stored (pics, movies, whatever). That will get rid of both the password and encryption. After you do the unlock process it'll nag you about a password, you won't be able to enter the OS. This is why you need to enter TWRP after unlocking. Also be sure to push TWRP to the phone too, as well as any other ROMs/Gapps you might need afterwards.

Ex.

"Adb push C:/Mega.zip /sdcard/"

(assuming minimal adb/fb is configured to this directory on your PC. It's set as C:/ on mine)

The file will now appear on /sdcard/ of the Pro 3.

Edit: Don't use wipe internal memory from TWRP, which is what you asked. I thought you were just using that as a synonym for /data, except that's an actual option under advanced wipe.

unlock the bootloader

flash twrp

boot into twrp
