TWRP + Root Working on 14S rom X820 - LeEco Le Max 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other

This is my first post here, so please excuse me for my english, i'm from chile (spanish).
I'm gonna do a little tutorial to Install TWRP and root on Leeco X820....just received yesterday.
First we gonna need the official ROM 14S from here:
http://g3.letv.cn/188/43/59/letv-hd...3S-5.6.014S.zip?b=123456&platid=5&splatid=500
And the Pack that i prepared here:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/105732967/twrp+root.rar
Now:
Step 1: Unzip the file twrp+root.rar and Put the file BETA-SuperSU-v2.72-20160510112018.zip on the internal memory,
put LE_X2_X820-CN-FN-FEXCNFN5601405103S-5.6.014S.zip file on the internal memory too (this 2 files)
Step 2: Power off the phone
step 3: Enter to Fastboot mode (turn on pressing volume down)(http://www.netded.com/uploads/allimg/160514/1_160514151201_1.png)
Step 4: on the folder that you created to unzip (example C:/twrp+root) press and hold SHIFT then right mouse click and go to "open command line window here" (or something like that in english)
step5: Connect your phone and wait to install the drivers
step6: on the command line write: "fastboot oem unlock"
step7: If that's ok then write: "fastboot flash recovery Le_X820_TWRP.img"
step8: If that's ok now you have the recovery twrp (chinese) installed (if this not work 1st time, do it again)
setp9: Reboot your phone on recovery mode (holding power button + volume up) (from fastboot, you don't reboot in normal mode)
step10: you gonna see the recovery in chinese, but don't worry, this recovery is the same that always and the options are on the same order: http://www.teamsuperluminal.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/twrp3_4.png
step11: go to install and flash the 14S rom (if you want), and if you want to keep your rom (probably 13S) just flash the SuperSU beta file.
If you want to Install a clean rom 14S with google play support (recomended), you have to wipe, then Flash the ROM 14s, and then flash this GAPPS (working fine) http://opengapps.org/ (just choose download ARM64+Android 6.0+ Pico version) and then flash the SuperSU beta file provided.

If you want to change the Language (in my case spanish), you can always use Morelocale (from playstore) with Root privileges

This is great but I have a problem . I did fastboot and it said "sending TWRP" okay and "writing Twrp okay"and all well to step 9. It boots to the recovery(LeEco recovery) that came on the phone. Can I bypass that ?

Very much appreciated, Thanks
I did it again and got Twrp working. I did the wipes and flashed the Rom smoothly. I also flashed the gapps file but it said it was incompatible I then booted to system, shut down and tried and failed to get TWRP so I did whole fastboot twice again and booted TWRP and flashed the file that was “incompatible” with no errors. But I get a number(5-7)”incompatible ‘/cust’ ??? (invalid argument)” with all TWRP operations .
Before leaving I went to 3rd block on rt of TWRP home screen and then to world globe on rt and changed language to English and TWRP is now in English. I then went to bootloader and deleted/inactivated the stock LeEco recovery and can now boot to TWRP normally(power+volme up).
However although I do have the Google Play store app. I keep getting message to say google services has stopped. When I try to add a google account on settings or click on play store app it spends a long time “checking info” and after 1 hour its still checking info.Does anyone have a solution ?

First it tells me pico version is incompatible then it installed it . I also tried the Arm64 mini version but same result. I get lots of "Com.letv.android.phonecontrol not working" and "Sorry google play services has stopped "
How do you delete apps ? In settings .app management I can disable or force stop but not uninstall. When I press and hold there no uninstall to drag to. When disabled they dissapear but come back when I do factory reset or wipe cache dalvic an data....weird. i have repeated everything a few times but nothing changes .
I havent put a sim card in yet
I have not setup a LeEco acount yet either,.....necessary ?
Even tho I have picked English I still get a lot of status messages in Chinese .
Help appreciated !!!

I can do a backup of my system and upload it...if you want it you tell me...only if you know how restore a backup from twrp (you have to generate the code yo name the folder in backup)

---

Well I think I am at end of road anyhow.
I use TWRP to backup and restore my own phone (not le max 2) but maybe its best if you tell me steps
Please let me use your backup as my le max 2 is a brick at moment

---

Install google play store (x820)
1) - INSTALL GOOGLE PLAY STORE(X820) htt*://impressivedroid.com/guide-install-google-play-store-on-le-2-x620/
2) - open play market and input login and password
3) - go to TWRP and install GAPPS ARM64+Android 6.0+ Pico version
Work it fine, no errors.

Received mine today from Honorbuy. If I flash twrp, where can I get original Recovery to go back to Stock?
What Color has your device? Mine is Gold but looks like Rose..

---

If you dont change bootloader in TWRP it will always go back to stock. Why would you want to go back to stock?. I thought it is only useful for offline updates ?

If I would sell the Phone I set it back to stock.
Installed TWRP and SuperSU 2.72 Beta. Worked in first attempt. No update to 14s, because of Problems with Playstore. Will wait if its fixed
All working Great, Backups from Oneplus Two (Titanium Backup) restored, without problems

---

i have updated to 14s and playstore (open gapps pico) installed without problems

---

Can you change language to German in 14s?
Sent from my ONE A2003 using XDA Free mobile app

---

So, the OTA update released yesterday will kill your root and remove TWRP. I attempted to reflash TWRP in fastboot mode, but it does not work anymore. The result is that it starts LeEco recovery and then right half of the screen is just random color pattern. Anyone knows if there is an updated TWRP version?

---

Well, ok, I found it on Chinese forums, here it is:
app.box.com/s/w66pg1h8wo3fj1lrtlcdw2fs3hk1w40a
The ZIP contains all the necessary tools and SuperSU as well. Flash TWRP through fastboot as described in the first post, then SuperSU through TWRP. My TWRP and root are back, all good!

Hi, my friend, and thanks for your help.
In new LeEco update of 14s, 237s, when I install Open Gapps there is a google play services error.
Dou you install in this new update and works properly?

---

I think that play services error was also in previous 14S (103s version). @mjoach has the solution in other thread. I have the 237s running and no problem with Play Store.
