Oh I see, the x820 is supposed to be global version, right? i don't know it was using indian rom. Btw, i want to wipe the whole system and replace it with new rom, but i still can delete the system as it is locked (encrypted). Of course I want to back up everything first, that's why i need access to my storage from TWRP

So I just have to keep reboot several times until I can get full access to the internal storage, right? And then I can wipe the whole system and replace it with new room. I will try later after work. Thx u, will keep post it if i found difficulties to make TWRP work
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jman0:
Except x829, which lacks Band 20 support, x820 and x821 are in fact the same phone. All stock roms are now international and support many languages, but the Indian ones are generally preferred because they are more stable than the Chinese ones. Anyway, you can flash any rom you want, stock or custom.

Can not do anything with TWRP

I've been trying for these several days,

the TWRP seems to work on my device only version 3.000

and I can easily flash it into my device but I can not do anything

back up, erase, factory reset doesnt work at all

(I thought is show zero capacity because of data partition is encrypted)

nothing seem work with anything i did on twrp

any idea guys?

I just want to replace my rom with RR in the future but I can not do anything with TWRP,

Phone works okay but I need to root it

thank you
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] borderm:
thanks for the Guide:

works for me upto step 7.

then sideload is not working for my phone.

TWRP last version and twrp-3.1.1-0-x2 got me stuck at the sideload step. Not working as it stops at 20%

What works for me:

put the rom on the phone after download from chrome on the phone OR copy to Phone from PC using ADB :

adb push "c:\adb\update.zip" /sdcard/update.zip

After that use TWRP and the howto from this guide and use option, upper left to Install from local storage (/sdcard/update.zip_

Update from shop rom to indian LE_X2_X820-OS-OP-FGXOSOP5801910121S-5.8.019S at last.

Now on Small EUI by aurel ߷ V17 because of blueborne vulnarability patch available in this ROM.

Heyyo, for Linux? Well I haven't tried others but on Ubuntu for ADB and Fastboot it's crazy easy. ;)

Open Terminal (CTRL ALT T)

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

Now your terminal will have universal access to ADB and fastboot from any directory.

Ubuntu already includes the MTP, adb and fastboot drivers so no need to do anything extra so the rest of the guide is all the same. :)
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo, for Arch based distros do the following

Open Terminal

sudo pacman -S libmtp android-tools android-udev

You should now have MTP drivers, ADB and fastboot.

From what I've read on the Arch wiki though it recommends you use a different method than libmtp for bigger files for transfer.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MTP

I haven't tested it out though so I'd still recommend using BBQLinux as your Arch Distro as it comes with everything you need to develop for Android already set up.

If you use a different Linux distribution please reply here and I can try to find out what you need to get MTP, ADB and fastboot up and running.

Hey, I have a phone with what was vendor rom (encrypted..) so I followed this tutorial : https://xdaforums.com/le-max-2/how-to/le-max-2-remove-vendor-rom-install-eui-t3614193

And now My screen looks like split in two and right / left are reversed (tried reflashing several time with several files from several sources). Wouldn't you have an Idea about this please? (Starting to panic a little, Can't find a thing about this).

EDIT :

Ok so, I did as shown in the topic : https://xdaforums.com/le-max-2/help/flash-eui-rom-fastboot-t3525831

download twrp (The one I know didn't had the touchscreen issue)

boot from twrp (wish I had know about it before!)

upload zip file to /sdcard ( here's the catch, while in TWRP in don't have access to adb, the phone doesn't connect to pc or I don't know even I mount it, could be me. So i just put the archive at the root of the phone before booting to twrp from adb)

install rom

reboot

And ... it's ****ING WORKING!*​​​​​​​

Really big thanks to ThE_MarD for his help!

Full system restore in ADB?

Ok, I think I may missing something here about adb. We can backup apps and apks with the switches -system and -apk respectively. So *How* can I recover my whole system, since only apks and data are recovered? (and yes, adb devices shows my device)

I tried everything:

In the OS

* adb restore backupName.ab => I confirm the restore and it exits immediatly

* adb restore backupName.ab (and I type the password) => I confirm the restore, this time it shows the app paths (com.xxxx.something etc) being restored, but the system remains exactly the same.

In the twrp recovery, after I allowed modifications to system, after I activate ADB sideload, and with the adb devices showing my device:

adb restore backupName.ab => It gives me the error adb: unable to connect for restore

adb restore backupName.ab (with the password previously set in developer options) => The same error:

X:\backs_letv>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF sideload

X:\backs_letv>adb restore backup_001.ab
adb: unable to connect for restore

So, how in the world do I restore my system with adb? And if it's not possible to recover a whole system in this way, either with the OS running or in the recovery, then why the hell the -system option? For a guy to think he has a backup, only to get screwed later?

And yes, I could have made an nandroid backup but I had the stock recovery at the time, and yes the system+apps+data backup *has* the system (it's bigger that the backup that only has data and apps)

UPDATE: Never mind, for that to work the phone has to be rooted, and mine wasn't

Orea update
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo, for Oreo ROMs that have device checking enabled you must use TWRP 3.2.1 or higher. It's a known compatibility issue on older versions of TWRP.

The reason why most newer Oreo ROMs enforce device checking is to prevent people from flashing Le Max 2 ROMs on a device that isn't a Le Max 2 to prevent bricking the device....

There's a thread floating around here where a guy with a Le S3 (MediaTek SoC device) who flashed a Le Max 2 ROM (Qualcomm SoC device) and bricked his phone... So enforced device checking is a good thing for the future of custom ROMs.

[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] AgustinH:
Hello! So, if I active the OEM Unlock on developer option I can install TWRP? Or I must do it through ADB
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThE_MarD:
Yes once OEM Bootloader is unlocked via developer options, you can flash TWRP via bootloader using fastboot command. :good:

Once TWRP is flashed? Please hold the power and volume up buttons until the phone reboots and the LeEco logo appears with the word "recovery" underneath it. The reason for this step is EUI ROM otherwise will overwrite recovery with stock EUI ROM recovery. Forcing a reboot to recovery from bootloader prevents this from happening.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] AgustinH:
with the phone plug on the usb of the computer? So, the first boot must be on recovery because if I boot on system, EUI will "install again" the stock recovery and I have to do the process again. Is that right?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThE_MarD:
That is correct. A lot of devices do this to TWRP with stock ROM flashing stock recovery if the device isn't immediately rebooted to TWRP recovery first.

Kinda sucks from bootloader there isn't a fastboot command to reboot to recovery directly and we have to resort to the button combo... Oh well, minor inconvenience I guess.
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] AgustinH:
I didn't do nothing yet, but I see the oem info through fastboot and this appear. Does it mean that I don't have to unlock the bootloader, the bootloader is already unlocked?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] AgustinH:
please, can someone tell me? :)
[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] AgustinH:

[LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThE_MarD:

Hello,

I had the same problem as the guy on the thread http://xdaforums.com/honor-7/help/bricked-formated-honor-7-rom-t3480339 but when following the help steps, I encountered a problem.

When installing the update, it always gets stuck at 5%. I have tried using just ""RECOVERY.img" and "BOOT.img" as well as inculding "SYSTEM.img" and "CUST.img".

I think the problem might be that I downloaded the wrong software seeing as all I know about the device model is that it is PLK-L01 and I live in the UK.

Can anyone help me please?
[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muradulislam:
Download the latest firmware for your phone, should be B380, Extract it to get UPDATE.APP.

Use Huawei update extractor to extract stock recovery, Cust, system and boot images and flash them using fastboot.

And then see if the system boots up in android.

If it does not, copy the UPDATE.APP to a folder named dload in your SD card and press power + vol up + vol down until your phone boots. Let go of power but keep other two pressed for five, six sec more.

If the forced update gets stuck ( at 5% or any other), wait around 20 minutes for it to resolve itself. If that does not happen, do the power + vol up + vol down combo again.

If the problem is not solved after 3,4 tries, please report back.

Hope this is detailed, if you need information, please specify the step which is problematic.

---------- Post added at 01:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 PM ----------

Another way to solve is to restore your twrp backup, after it is successfully restored, don't boot to Android, just enter fastboot mode and flash the boot and system files of the Android version that twrp backup was using.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] franga2000:
Hello.

I attempted to flash the Open Beta 7 (OTA_011) zip with TWRP to my OnePlus 3 and it broke everything.

The flash went normally, like with previous updates, but this time, I couldn't flash SuperSU over it. So I rebooted, hoping it worked.

I was presented by a "Decryption failed" screen, with the only option to factory reset.

The problem is, that I don't have any backups of my data, because FolderSyncLite aparently doesn't work at all.

When I got back into TWRP, my /data partition wasn't mounted, with the error

could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer

TWRD shows the Data partition as 0MB. I know the data couldn't have just disappeared.

My best guess is that the userdata partition got corrupted somehow, and because it was encrypted, the entire partition is now useless.

TWRP's fsck.f2fs fails with error 255 (glitched error -1?), probably because it's encrypted.

Is there anything I can do to recover my data? Could I copy the raw partition to my computer and process it there?

Could I manually rebuild the broken header/footer? I still know the pattern/PIN and I don't think they're not salted.

I know there's some brilliant people on here. Please help.
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] ExtremeNuker:

Look, change the data partition to ext4. It should work because sometimes the partition gets formatted to a corrupted form of f2fs. If it doesn't work, just wipe userdata and try again. It sure should work. Don't be shocked. Happens.
