[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] konoplya:
thanks for the feedback. toolkit is what i've found when i searched for root. i haven't seen another method, that's why i was going to go with that.

also, are there some kind of drivers i need to install on my pc for this phone? because my S7 galaxy gets recognized automatically and this S3 doesn't.
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] britdude:
15 second ADB works well

Zip attached
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] randomsmash:
You, sir, are the absolute best. My phone's on 19S, unrooted, everything's working fabulously! I don't know where in the bay area you're from, but if you're ever in SJ I owe you a drink!

Thank you so much for the help!
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] konoplya:
how would i do that? i'm trying to find a way to do it like you mentioned and i'm coming up with nothing online
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] britdude:
As long as you have ADB installed , and you have the twrp file to boot your phone into on your computer, go to the folder where it is,and open a command prompt window and type

Fastboot boot twrp.img, presuming the file is named twrp.img
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] konoplya:
ok, so it will still flash the twrp onto my device, no?

does the twrp version need to be specifically for the x522?
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] britdude:
it wont flash TWRP onto the phone, so original recovery will stay intact

it just boots into twrp so you can backup or restore

here is TWRP for s3

[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] konoplya:
thanks man.

so before i boot into twrp, i should get the superuser in my root dir, correct? then boot into twrp and flash SU and i'm done?
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] britdude:
I think twrp has an option to install SU, so you should be set
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] konoplya:
i see. the phone needs to be in MTP mode?
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] britdude:
It has to be in fastboot mode to boot in twrp
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] konoplya:
oh ok. the power button and vol down combo?
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] britdude:
correct
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] konoplya:
ok so i tried it, i booted the phone into fastboot, connected to pc, ran command prompt like you said "fastboot boot twrp.img" and it says "unlock device to use this command"

i enabled developer options, enabled usb debugging, unknown sources, and OEM unlocking on.
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] britdude:
oops sorry forgot about that....

you need to unlock bootloader each time you do anything with twrp

fastboot oem unlock-go

that will unlock it

then fastboot boot twrp.img
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] konoplya:
thanks. i booted into twrp, i went to tools and installed supersu, then i rebooted. but i'm not sure if the phone's rooted. it also asked if i wanted to replace the stock recovery and i said no and asked if i wanted to wipe dalvik cache, i didn't.

i really just want to remove pre installed apps and i went into app management and i can't remove them. so i'm not rooted then?
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] britdude:
try downloading a check root app from store to check

also in your apps you should see SU app if its installed, it might need updating

if need be, flash twrp , then install SU..

cant remember if twrp needs to be on for root...been a long time since i actually rooted a phone
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] konoplya:
trwp also asks me for a password.. i just leave it blank?

i tried doing backup of the system and it said it failed because it failed to decrypt data and unable to decrypt with default password. i don't know what that means.

it also tells me that its unable to mount storage
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] britdude:
The data is encrypted, only way to cure that is to say cancel at password and then set language to English then go into wipe menu and select format data and type yes......it will mean phone gets reset but that should allow SU to be written and saved....

I'm hoping that solves it,as like I said not rooted in a while and not looking to do that with my s3 as yet
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] konoplya:
i see. thank you for the help. i checked with root checker and i'm rooted. i have no idea how to uninstall the apps though. this phone seems to be very limiting and its driving me insane lol. i can't even remove icons from the main screens without the apps uninstalling.
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] randomsmash:
You can remove icons from the main screen with a different launcher, like Nova.

You can uninstall apps if you are rooted by using any root uninstaller app - just search "root uninstaller" on the app store; alternatively Titanium Backup also has the ability to freeze/uninstall system apps, though you might have to pay for the pro version. With my other phones uninstalling system apps would bork future OTA updates though, so fair warning.

Also I don't know if this is related to my resetting/flashing my phone using Extreme's provided links - thanks again Extreme!! - but my notification LED is no longer working. Anyone else on 19S with the same problem?
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] konoplya:
oh nice. i can do it with nova? excellent. thank you.
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] britdude:
my notification led is still working fine
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] randomsmash:
Aw no I must've broken something again :(. Oh well, small price to pay in order to have updates and not have to deal with the constant battery drain the System Update app was doing to my 18S phone. Cheers.

EDIT: nope, I'm just stupid. Under Settings > Display, which is under the General section, if you tick the LED notification option to "On" for "Others," it'll come back up. I guess it was off because I wasn't using the default apps for texts and emails.
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] randomsmash:
well boys, I just got the 20s update and it failed, despite me not messing with it whatsoever once I'd gotten 19s on it. I think I'm done with this phone.?

if anyone's got the .20s update and they don't mind uploading it, please do so!
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] bdogz24:
I second this it would be nice to have a clean TWRP backup of .20s.
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] britdude:
It seems that as soon as you unlock this phone and use twrp in any way we are screwed for taking OTA's

Someone must of by now figured out what to do..

Extreme99(I think I got it right) have you played with it since last update
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] britdude:
How can that be so...

I used TWRP and made a backup without rooting, and the OTAs failed from then on..

If you look inside an OTA for the s3, you will see it says s2

heres part of a line from latest update "This package is for "le_s2_na"
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] CpaoV:
Because I did the same with mine, completely reverted all actions I made with the recovery and stuff... But since then the OTA just failed always.

I thought "Hey, what if I boot TWRP temporarily and try to install the OTA file from there"

Well, TWRP could'nt install the OTA because it says the phone is currently an S2_na.

So, apparently, we will have to wait till someone posts a full System backup for 20S, or LeEco post the device's ROM.

i've been the whole day trying to make the OTA work, trying different ways to remove any traces of activity.

No success.

Only waiting from now on.

Advice from me? DO NOT ROOT OR MODIFY ANYTHING SYSTEM RELATED.

It's not worth it currently.

---------- Post added at 08:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------

I could try and get a log from TWRP... But honestly I lost count at how many times I wiped my phone today.

I'm currently tired and annoyed.

And specially not in the mood to set up my phone again, specially with a 2Mb download internet ;)
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] britdude:
I didn't install TWRP I booted it from desktop

And the s3 is the s2_na model

Me and one other have reinstalled back to what we thought was untouched system but this update is showing us we were wrong even after getting the last update to work with modification....

It's not a matter of waiting for someone to make a full backup of a clean system as it seems as soon as we use twrp we are screwed as it alters something LeEco don't want us too..

---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 PM ----------

I'm no expert specially at looking through code, but would like to learn some as this as got to be fixable

Do you or anyone else know what partitions are included in the OTA zip?
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] britdude:
your better off capturing it and looking in it yourself, but from what i saw, it has a lot of firmware file updates and not much else..but i aint no expert, but im playing untill i either win or brick it..lol
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] xterminater07:
I've restored the stock recovery and the back up image of twrp that extreme99 uploaded, but I still cannot take in the 20S OTA. I did the factory reset within the stock recovery, and still no go. Anyone know what's keeping the 20s OTA from updating?
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] rainlake:
They did mention removed permisssion request for their built in apps

---------- Post added at 06:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 AM ----------

[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] xterminater07:
How do we do step 6 bc in read only twrp cannot perform a restore.
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] britdude:
You have to have it in read/write and no matter how many ppl put up these posts about restoring g back to stock to take OTA's they as all wrong.....

Not. One of them can prove they have managed to take a normal OTA after using TWRP on the phone in any way..

I have been trying to figure it out and still have not got it....We need factory images from LeEco to fix it I believe and I doubt we will get them.

Until some dev comes along and picks up the s3 and devs for it we are stuck I guess..

We still ain't got no proper place to post, we still in S2 postings...lol
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] xterminater07:
So how did extreme99 get his ota ... Anyone has the 20s that can back up the file?

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 AM ----------

Also, has anyone tried the flashfire tool? It suppose to modify the ota for you and update it if you are rooted.
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] xterminater07:
I noticed the file that extreme99 posted here: https://mega.nz/#!25RzhAaB!Z6-WFQSLPrHXIyTi5OPAw_7OTlcAHUoLUCPXth-ufk4 for his sytem image and boot, the system image is 4gb, and when I did enable MTP in twrp read only mode, I can't drag that file into my TWRP back up folder. It said Reached Device Size Limit or something like that. Then I noticed the other back up from http://xdaforums.com/le-2/how-to/guide-unlocking-rooting-restoring-to-t3515555 has the image of system in 3 or 4 dif files. Why is that?
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] rainlake:
you will have to use adb push to put files >= 4G to your phone

either way, if you are doing that for OTA, it wont work
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] xterminater07:
I managed to have twrp in read only and uncheck the box to mount system file in read only and it work. I recovered using the other guy's back up and it still failed. I pulled the OTA out and I will try to do a manual update with help from someone in removing checks to see if it worked.
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] britdude:
I hve tried removing the checks and best i have got to is it reboots to recovery
[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] xterminater07:
well damn it! What's the cause then :( is it because all of the back up were done NOT from booting TWRP in read only? Or no matter what you do, if you boot TWRP it fux0r the system up for OTA checks?

---------- Post added at 12:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 AM ----------

Well, here's the 20s update from my phone that I pulled out so if someone managed to make it work please make a completely new thread. Thanks! http://www.mediafire.com/file/ucwdqwvaifaev8r/5.8.020S_sta.zip

I keep getting an ERROR 7 when trying to flash the modified OTA in TWRP, any help?

[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] britdude:
It's all trial and error..

As soon as you use twrp it screws something up, and no matter if you used it in read only or read/write it makes no difference..

I will keep looking but won't be till maybe tomorrow

Did you ever fix this ? I had the same issue but after flashing the 21s file returned IMEI , I assume it's to do with updated baseband and firmware files !

here: https://xdaforums.com/le-2/development/rom-leeco-s2-s3-5-8-021s-factory-image-t3562582

[Samsung Gear S3] 89dynasty:
I have the frontier LTE synced to my device using Bluetooth, does anybody else notice their phone battery draining extremely fast. Have it synced to my note 7 and my phone battery is down to 50% in 3 hours with light texting and web surfing. Usually my battery would be around 80% can Bluetooth be that much of a drain?
[Samsung Gear S3] dkb218:
No sudden battery drain on my S7E. I take it you didn't get the update to limit the Note 7 to 60% charge.
[Samsung Gear S3] hughedee74:
Check to see if your gps is clicked on. Go into settings, connections, then location. If it is on, it's the surest way to kill your battery. Also, if you have the LTE model like I do, be certain that you're not constantly connected to mobile data independent of the phone. Lastly, you can go to the recent apps icon and close the previously used apps. Let me if any of those things work for ya.
[Samsung Gear S3] dkb218:
I think you meant to reply to the OP. Battery for me has been great so far. Everything set up to connect automatically as needed.

[Blu Vivo XL] 9000RPM:
After more than 10 months after release, BLU has promised on delivering the marshmallow update. I just saw the notification today at around 4:00PM CMT.

Currently updating!
[Blu Vivo XL] RaiderWill:
Screen Shots Please....:cool:
[Blu Vivo XL] aaronhaze:
I just updated last night. Everything running smoothly. I had the phone rooted previously but the one click root app got removed in the update process. If anyone has success rooting after the upgrade, I'd love to know about it.
[Blu Vivo XL] Rayan:
I upgraded this morning and I've been having lots of issues with my installed apps, like Facebook, Messenger, Whatsapp and more, and of course I lost Root which was previously accomplished by KingRoot which doesn't work anymore.

Also I noticed that during the update process, particularly while flashing the firmware, it was flashed using my TWRP recovery and afterwards it got removed.

I'm sure that if I start fresh by performing a factory reset, all will be fluid and in working order, minus TWRP and Root of course, at least for the time being.

All in all, the update to Mashmellow seems to be awesome, some new features.

Cheers!
[Blu Vivo XL] MisterPohtaytoh:
I'm having issues with the update. It downloads just fine and when I go ahead and try to install...it just spins around on "unzipping" and then proceeds to restart..or turn off for that matter. The phone turned off...I didn't do anything to it just let it sit there for a while and then I saw the charge icon show up (the one you see when the phone is off and charging) at which point I started the phone up. The phone did not update and I can basically repeat the process. There is 4.30 GB of space free and no SD card. What do I do?

EDIT:

So I tried again, kept at it and it eventually worked. Updated just fine but now there are doubles of all folders in the phone. When I plug it into my computer, all the folders (Music, Download etc etc) are showing up twice with the same contents in the each of them...

What...is...going...on?
[Blu Vivo XL] disChapo:
Was pretty laggy at first. Decided back up my files and do a factory reset. Works much better now.
[Blu Vivo XL] Rayan:
Yeah, mine is working flawlessly after a factory reset! Much improvement compared to Lollypop!

Anyone found a Root for Marshmellow yet?
[Blu Vivo XL] batoussai:
Unless Blu changed something other than the interface I'd guess TWRP won't be working on MM anytime soon. It's a problem seen in the Gionee phone and I would expect the same to happen to the Blu. As for root and a custom recovery (although not a great one) you could try following these instructions: https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-15270.html

I've played a bit with the Gionee Marshmallow firmware on my Vivo XL during the past month or so, and one thing that really bugs me is that it seems to be shipping with a kernel that is way older than it should be on an MM release. And the OTA service that is known for leaking info also seemed to still be present in the updated firmware.

Can someone who's got the Blu update check if these two things are the same for the Blu release please? Enter device info in the settings menu and check the Kernel version for me. And, if you guys manage to get root, check if AdupOTA is still lurking in there.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidfortress:
I'm using a stock Huawei Phone with no major modifications (no root, no custom roms and stuff, changed into a custom launcher tho). Suddenly today I can't access my phone because somehow it has partially encrypted itself or something and now I can't even boot my phone, let alone access my data. Here I should point out that at no point did I try to encrypt my data so I'm baffled why something like this should happen. Anyway my phone said I have to factory reset my data and it took me to this recovery screen with the option to wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition. I do so and then reboot. But the same thing keeps happening. I wiped data a few times to no avail. I removed my SD card but it didn't work either.

I can't open my phone anymore. The data on my phone isn't that important - most of it backed up. Here's my phone specifications-

Model: Huawei Y625-U32 (Android system recovery says its Y625-U32V100R001C567B105 if it helps)

Os: Android 4.4

I can't remember the other specs, but here's the product page on Huawei: consumer.huawei.com/pk/mobile-phones/tech-specs/huawei-y625-pk.htm

It seems that I can apply updates to my phone from external sources and there is a firmware update on my phone (consumer.huawei.com/pk/mobile-phones/support/downloads/huawei-y625-pk.htm). Will this fix my phone?

I don't know why something like this is happening. Should I be worried that this is the work of a virus?

My phone is a little obscure so it's hard to find help online. I would really appreciate your help guys. :o

When you opt out of the beta program it won't push any OTA updates. You have to side load it via ADB. If you stay you can just wait for the public release that will come via OTA even when you're opt into the beta program.
