[LeEco Le 2 Questions & Answers] Dudeonyx:
I restored my imei through the following steps

1. root your rom

2. enable usb debugging

3. install minimal adb on your computer, goto the folder you installed it in, hold shift then right click, select open command prompt here

4. in command window, enter the following ( each line followed by pressing enter)

5. adb shell

6. su

7. grant su request on phone screen

7b. command prompt should look similar to "root@le_s2_na:/ #" without the quotes depending on the version of your phone.

8. on command prompt type

9. ls -al /dev/block/platform/soc.0/7824900.sdhci/by-name/

10. this lists out all your phones partitions ( not really necessary if you are using an le 2 but it's a good practice to confirm for the following steps)

11. confirm the following entries appear in the list

11a. fsg -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p18

11b. modemst1 -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p13

11c. modemst2 -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p14

11d. these three entries are where the phone stores the imei, wifi mac address, and Bluetooth address.

12a. if they don't then... if you are technical enough you cant edit this guide to suit your needs else STOP!!!

12b. if they do then you are all good. continue

13. on the command prompt enter

13a. dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/fsg.bin

13b. dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 of=/sdcard/modemst1.bin

13c. dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 of=/sdcard/modemst2.bin

14. this will backup the partitions and create 3 files on your sdcard 'fsg.bin' 'modemst1.bin' and 'modemst2.bin'

15. copy these to a safe place on your computer

16. this part restores your backup, on the command prompt enter

16a. dd if=/sdcard/fsg.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

16b. dd if=/sdcard/modemst1.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13

16c. dd if=/sdcard/modemst2.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14

16d. reboot

17. after your phone reboots repeat steps 5 & 6

18. cross fingers

19. the next step will zero out (erase) the partitions so your phone can hopefully recreate them with the correct data

19. in the command prompt enter the following in this exact order

19a. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

19b. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14

19c. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13

20. without rebooting your phone try to check the imei by dialing *#06#

21. if your imei is restored i would recommend making a qcn backup using qpst software on your computer ( the code to enable diag port on le 2 is *#*#76937#*#*) google for steps

22. if your imei is not restored then you have a different problem than i did. but do note that after following step 19-19c then and only then can you restore a qcn backup or edit your imei. and yes it works on Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 9025 port. so hopefully you can progress from there.

Unlock the bootloader using adb.

Install Kaush universal adb driver and adb.

Enable USB debugging on ur phone and connect it to pc.

Open command prompt.

Navigate to the folder where u installed adb using file explorer.

Shift+right click and select "Open command window here".

Type "adb devices" in the command window.

If it shows device connected then proceed further.

Type "adb reboot bootloader"

Now, type "fastboot devices" to verify whether device is still connected.

Type "fastboot oem unlock".

Ur phone screen may ask for final confirmation.

Once process completes, type " fastboot reboot".

Download Kingoroot for pc for rooting after that and install it.

Connect ur phone to pc with USB debugging enabled.

Kingoroot will detect ur phone, after that u only have to click the root button and wait for a few minutes.

Remember to have a good internet connection for pc while rooting as Kingoroot downloads su binary from internet.

Good solution !

And Very Great Phone but

Vernee M5 on official website have No Support for this device, only OTA

I have MediaTek sp flash tool (MediaTek Chipset) on my ubuntu for backup device.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techman.de:
I tried it, but it doesn't work. Kingoroot failed.

I think you have to disable "oem bootlock" but that didn't help either.

Kingoroot, framaroot and so on also doesn't work. Does anyone have a better idea?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shryder:
Same, Kingroot and framaroot didnt work for me.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shryder:
I just tried all that and it didn't work. All good except Kingoroot said root has failed, would have been cool if you mentioned that it reset my phone and deleted all my files though. (nothing that important lost I guess, will just have to reinstall about 50 apps back :P...) =[

Any idea?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Augustoandro:
Did you have a good internet connection? Try Kingoroot again but first uninstall Kingo Superuser, Kingo link and other apps that were installed during the rooting process.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shryder:
Okay I will try that and let you know.

Also, seems like Kingo link was the only app that was installed.

How do I check? I just tried "fastboot devices" (to try "fastboot oem info.." command thing) command and it doesnt show my device, though "adb devices" command shows my device; Weird.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Augustoandro:
Did you try factory reset?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shryder:
No, Although it reset my phone when I went through the steps you provided to unlock bootloader in your first post.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Augustoandro:
I meant, factory reset it again using adb or recovery mode, then see if fastboot detects your phone.

But before that try once again whether fastboot is detecting your phone, just as a confirmation.

hallo, i have the phone, too.

and seeking for a way to root it. some things piss me off, e.g. sound of camera not possible to turn off. (I am used to a sony phone, with that option, and many more)

Anyhow, i have seen this kingOroot app, have not tried it, due to reading "can destroy your phone". is there any risk to what the app can do? has anyone tried this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shryder:
Tttt
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shryder:
Let me save you the trouble and tell you that I already tried Kingoroot and it did not work. There is no way to root this phone, yet. As for your camera problem, maybe try the app called "Simple camera" it disabled the camera sound for me.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itspark:
oh ok.

thanks for the tipp with the camera app.

it looks pretty functional. but by first glance i could not find an option to turn off the sound. i suspect its some systemwide **** they built into the os. it would be great if they turned it off, together with all the other sounds, when the phone is in no sound (= vibrate || silence ) mode. maybe its because one of the countless OTA updates i have run the phone through as soon as i got it..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Augustoandro:
Unlock bootloader before using Kingoroot.

It is safe after that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itspark:
There is an option in the dev settings: something like "OEM-Unlock" ("Allow unlocking of the bootloader")

what does this actually do? i guess not unlock the boot loader in the first place, but allow a way/procedure of unlocking it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Augustoandro:
In some cases, it unlocks the bootloader immediately. But in some devices, you need to use adb after that to unlock bootloader.

https://www.google.co.in/amp/s/theb...ck-your-bootloader-is-locked-or-unlocked/amp/

Use the above link for a tutorial to check whether bootloader is unlocked.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itspark:
all right,

so using this numberpad codes does not open any window. not one of these codes works. it must somehow be blocked.

for the second way, to check if its unlocked, using this fastboot executable:

$ fastboot oem device-info

...

FAILED (remote: unknown command)

finished. total time: 0.008s

Wuellp... imma look further into it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ResurrectedRobot:
Hello,

the problem is that we do not have access to the M5s kernel (source or prebuilt).

But we need one to create a custom recovery. And we need this custom recovery in order to root.

I collected all the OTA-updates, but no one contains a kernel or a recovery.

They only contain kernel patches, but they are pretty useless because they are, as the name implies only patches and not a full kernel.

However, I collected some other resources, so porting TWRP should not be a problem (we only still need the kernel).

But we have to remember that the M5 is a device that was released a few months ago and Vernee also needed some months to make the ROMs for other devices public,

so I'm optimistic they will release a full rom in the future (hopefully it will not take so long).

Yours,

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ResurrectedRobot:
Hi,

you will not be able to root your phone using this way, because their 'official firmware' download link links to nothing more that an OTA update and as I said above OTA updates only contain kernel patches which are pretty useless for rooting purposes.

Because of this is only an OTA package you will not be able to restore your phone if something fails (Vernee still has not uploaded the official firmware).

Only firmware files uploaded here are official.

system backup

hi everyone

i got the vernee m5 this week, and unfortunetly it wag full of bugs out of the box. the phone was crashing every several minutes with no reason, rebooting and so on. i did reset from the setting but that didn't help. wipe from the stock recovery also did nothing to solve the problem.

i tried to reinstall the stock os from the vernee site, but the phone refused to do it. i than unlocked the bootloader and installed the twrp recovery. from the costum recovery i installed successfully the stock os,and did factory reset from there, but to no avail - all the problems stayed the same.

after that i tried system wipe from the costum recovery, as well as the usual wipes, and reinstalled the stock os. than the phone got into brick mode, and the twrp recovery claims that there is no os. i tried over and over again all the combinations of installation and wipes, including re-downloading the system from the site several times, but nothing seems to do the trick.

it looks like the stock os on the vernee site is just an update, and not the whole system, for some weird reason, even though it's 1.42 GB. maybe it's a well known fact to many of you, but i didn't know that. i searched the whole web, and didn't find anywhere to download the full system from. there is some russian site that claimed to have it, but their download link is broken.

so now my new phone is bricked, even though the recovery and fastboot mode are doing perfectly fine. if someone here can create a system twrp backup for the m5 os and link it here, it would be a great help for me. if you have any other tips for how to solve my problem, i would very much like to read them.
