New to Leeco. Need help on updates - LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers

Hello all!
I am just new to leeco mobiles. I just purchased (wrongly) the Le max 2 x829 4Gb / 64Gb.
1. I would like to know how to officially update the rom as i can't see any place to update (OTA) or not.
Can anyone help me to choose the best rom version for this beast? Also one version that the fingerprint sensor is not that slow...
2. I would also apreciate if anyone can help me on choosing a "custom" rom, stable, fast and with not battery drains (currently on stock rom i can get almost 2 days of battery) with average usage (some 4g, many wi-fi, some calls, some sms, some browsing, no games).
Many thanks in the advance for the help.

1. Most of us here root the phone and install TWRP recovery and flash custom rom. Even official stock roms you can flash them with TWRP. Its the easiest way to get update I think. Official update I never do it. Guide how to root/install TWRP here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/how-to/protocol-backup-stock-rom-flash-stock-t3517151
This tread have some more info you asking for:

2. For stock rom you can try Small EUI by Aurel there is few battery mode you can choose or Madsurfer's 5.9.23S (with Htc Sense home launcher) it got pretty good battery life. If you want to try 7.1 Nougat rom you can try Nexus rom or Mokee I think.

Official Indian stock last one was I think 5.8.019S, come with Google service and Play store its cleaner. Chinese stock rom don't come with Google service/Playstore and have some chinese stuff apps and LeEco video streams etc. If you flash any official stock rom it will replace TWRP with EUI stock recovery. So you will need to flash TWRP recovery again via Fastboot or other way.

Chinese stock rom you can install Google installer and after use it to install Google service and Playstore thats one way to do it.

ZTE Nubia Z11 Mini - NX529J - International Rom / Firmware

Hello to anyone!
I just purchased this beautiful Z11 Mini. It arrived with a quite nice rom pre-installed, with GApps etc. But as far as I searched, there's still chinese writings, apps, and some kind of errors.
Someone knows where to find a firmware that could replace this one, with less errors and maybe more languages? An international rom, just saying.
Thanks in advance, really.
UP?
UP?
You can not port the ROM by CM ?
Here is a ROM but still 5.1.1.
Which version do you have.
The latest version is I think 1:30 ZTE.
Once the regular Z11 comes, there will be the marshmallow version.
But I want to have CM! I try all the time, but I do not come here throughout.

I bought one of these last night.
Have you found any custom ROMs for it on XDA since first posting?
Hi.
The best rom available for this model is here:
http://blog.grossoshop.net/nubia-z11-mini-rom-gs-by-cuoco92/
Direct link:
https://mega.nz/#!9gcFhYLL!qDBx58VAxIhCGTm6NicbnuIKRa81pmD8MTWgTQVu_dU
You must have Twrp installed on your phone and just flash.
It's the 1.30 version but you will get an Ota notification to update to V 1.32.
Multilanguage and stable.
Hey,
I have downloaded the last version from Nubia (1.36) and customized it to remove chinese bloatware and useless stuff.
It's light enough to flash the STOCK opengapps ! (64 Bits for 5.1)
First boot take a while when flashing stock but it's working smoothly !
Here is my share : https://mega.nz/#!ehBAHZAK!t6MVMKOhRNHjomBwfnKXDvvG4U5Nf-samL1EYNddFAk
Flash it from TWRP with a full wipe.

Leeco Max 2 x829

Hi, I am in Canada and just received my new Max 2 x829 and wonder if it is worth it to update the stock ROM or it is working well, I am not an expert and the instructions to update the ROM is complicated to me, however, if the update will solve issues or improve the phone performance, then I might try to follow the instructions.
Thanks in advance for your help,

If you don't update and still using the 16S you will probably get a dead fingerprint sensor.
Enviado desde mi Le X829 mediante Tapatalk
I have a couple x829 and tried most roms, the best one for me was the stock rom that came with the phones, hands down not even close 2nd.
Heyyo fellow Canadian, so sadly the "international" firmware and ROM it comes with is modified and only built to work on that one version of EUI so it will never receive updates.
The ROM I'd recommend for stability and functionality? Resurrection Remix Marshmallow. That or as others have said Mokee is good.
X829 devices will need a new modem firmware flashed in order for the fingerprint reader to work properly with other ROMs and to try and avoid camera issues and so fourth because the modem firmware definitely does more than modem.
Thanks castuis for your advise, I was thinking to stay with the rom that came with the phone but I had a fear that after setting up the phone adding apps and spend too much time, then the time will come when I have problem and I have to flash the phone with another rom and start over, it is very confusion when my many people talking about changing the rom that come with the phone to solve issues and them you are saying the the best rom is the one coming with the phone, so for how long you are using your phone and do you use the fingerpring reader? how is the camera performance? Did you try the Indian rom 19s (this is the one I am thinking about now)?
ThE_MarD, does the Resurrection Remix Marshmallow have over the air update or you need to do it manually every time? What is the modem firmware?

Recently bought X829 varient have a few questions thanks!

Okay so as title says i recently bought a LeEco Le Max 2 X829 from gearbest. I had a few questions and was hoping someone here could help =).
I have searched but didn't seem to find much to help me. Well first i was wondering if i should just leave it on the rom i receive from gearbest or is that a bad idea, Also was curious if the phone would work with h2o, It has all the bands but just wanting to get verification from someone else. Thanks.
Hello @AdcMainVayne,
As far I'm concerned this phone works in most European countries and the only band that does not work is LTE Band 20, but the rest should work just as expected. When it comes to the stock firmware available on the X829, I recommend you to install a custom rom like Cuoco92, because of that the stock rom on the X829 receives no updates and comes with a very outdated version of EUI. The link to the Fastboot package for Cuoco92 can be found here.
I would flash the latest Indian ROM after wiping everything since online Chinese retailers are known to add trojans/viruses/etc. Besides the X829 ROM is abandonware and won't get any updates ever.

Flashing the indian rom for this phone would kind of not be very worthwhile as it runs on an older version of EUI and as far as I'm concerned it also runs on an older security update, so flashing a CN-based ROM with gapps would be ideal in most cases,
Thanks for the replies, I guess Cuoco92 is the best custom rom to choose from in your opinion?

If you're looking for a rom that's stable and runs EUI, I would definitely recommend Cuoco92.

I would try official linage, Resurrection remix, MIUI rom. Once you get your bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed you can try any of them. I really hated eui stock rom. Also with h2o you might have to go to a store or call them to have them add your IMEI Sim slot for service.

Sound and camera issues on rr and linage. I mean everything works and buttery smooth. Antutu 150,000 score on rr. I'm on Miui8 7.4.2.4 now I really like how smooth it is. No sound issues. Pretty stable. Kind of similar to eui. It's a a port not official. Android 6. But really like it a. Lot. Kind of hard to get it working the first time. Small eui just lags to much for me.
Crazy fast LTE and I'm on metro pcs.

Which X722 custom ROM you think is better in terms of overall speed and performance.

Which custom rom would you guys recommend on the X722 if choosing between
-LINEAGE 14.1
-PARANOID ANDROID 7.3
-GENESYS 26S
-FULL AROMA 20S
I am using stock EMUI now 26S and it's driving me crazy with play store keeps errorring and restarting and the stupid browser. Also i think it uses a lot of RAM.
Let me know what you think
If you're using stock 26s on the x722, are you sure you'll be able to flash another ROM without issue? Doesn't the stock 26s ROM lock the bootloader down, causing a brick the moment you try to flash any file from stock recovery (TWRP or ROM)? Or are you running the developer version of 26s? I heard the developer version doesn't lock the bootloader down but I'm not 100% sure. All I do know is that quite a few people here have tried flashing stuff over 26s, which has resulted in near-permanent bricks (see the brick thread in this sub-forum). Please correct me if I'm wrong
As for the Play Store errors, not sure why you're getting those. Did you install the Play Store after installing the ROM?

I'm also getting several Play Store errors on my X722. The ROM version reports as 26s, but i'ts probably the banggood store version. Is there any way of fixing this without altering the ROM?

Playstore was already pre installed, just performed an update with the new playstore. I've been reading through this topic on unlocking stock .26S.. this is the link
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le...--and-mods/unlock-bootloader-rom-26s-t3654083
You were right.. But this means I'm screwed .
As said below also instagram acts strange when accessing the camera and gets stuck or restarts.. Didn't even fully tried my phone since I dont have nano sim card yet.. :crying:

My stock version is EUI 5.9.026S , I really hope this ROM could be changed since it's not working as flawlessly as expected..
For some reason the phone just doesn't work like a 820 chip should work. Neither the stock rom, modified stock. The custom roms based on lineage, paranoid rom are better, but still not as good as the 820 chip phones I tested with the same roms. I don't know if it is software or hardware. I am thinking slow storage...
Rom is EUI, not EMUI.
There is no 026 dev rom
026 stock can be downgraded to 001D rom through stock recovery and then you can flash all these roms.
Anyway, this is a poll topic and you can find a better place to discuss basis stuff
I am running stock EUI 5.8.20S everything is ok, battery is fine., no notifications show though
I tried stock rom Genesys 5.9.26S and Aicp Nougat but came back to 5.8.20S for now.
Notifications can be set - google for EUI notifications problem

Hey Dakok, been following you since the coolpad f1 days on modaco. Thinking about getting this phone. Does the Google HDR+ camera mod work on the elite model?
Also, do you have any personal recommendations on a reliable rom without bugs?
Yes it does. I think that there is a modified one that works with EUI and another one for custom 7.1 roms.
I am on stock 026s EUI yet, so I can't test any but there are many reports that it works fine.
Genesys 26s by Steve Mars is the most reliable rom IMHO.
Paranoid and AICP have minor bugs, otherwise very usable.

You mean that you cannot do it because of 026s EUI? or you just didn't try to downgrade yourself yet?
I was checking for downgrading from stock 0.26 s but it's impossible finding information on the web
I found this portugese video on youtube but i dont know exactly what he is doing there, also the links people refer to from the leeco forum have been taken down..
I cached the links and i find this (click)
But still very hard to understand what they do, could someone make it more explainable how to change with X722 from
EUI version 5.9.026S (Stable) (bought like this) -> version 20s (001D)-> to finally put on Paranoid android 7.3.1 on it? Is it even possible? I really don't want to brick my phone here..
Or should I open a new topic since the other legit ones are closed..
Thanks for everybody putting effort in trying this phone to be customized!
Batyan, a guy from russian 4PDA forum got the archive with two roms.
The first one is a developer EUI rom identified as WIXCNFN5800106140D or 01D (short).
It flashes through phone stock recovery.
The other is Banggood vendor EUI rom 020s, cleaned from China stuff.
This one flashes through fastboot.
01D rom is great since it is the only way to move from stock 026s EUI since it has locked bootloader and you can't do anything to replace recovery, make root or flash another rom.
So. Put that 01D (update.zip) in your phone and flash it through stock recovery (key combination or through phone settings or manager, not sure)
Or you can start it from EUI file manager (not sure).
Now you have 01D rom, you have unlocked bootloader and you can flash any other custom rom.
My advice is to flash Genesys 026s first since it is EUI 026s and it may be good to have latest
partitions flashed. Later you can try paranoid, aicp...
Don't flash lineage 15 (oreo) since it may make some problems regarding partitions.
Use CrisBal TWRP since it seems to be the most compatible.

The only way to "hard" brick it is to flash stock 026s through twrp.
Paranoid but a little bit hard to do it for noobs, probably.
Poll Is corrupt
If paranoid ROM is the best... Then I'm a lepracon with lepra....
Its slow as hell, typing this takes ages... When I press a letter 7 seconds late it response... When some one called me I need to press 1100000 times before this ROM gives a reaction...
Also the builder doesn't respond to my mail. So, its what it is. Just a crappy ROM.

Maybe you have any problem with your phone.I have paranoid since 08/12/2017 and I can say that it is the best rom that I have tried.Very very fast almost without any issues or bugs and It is incredible experience for the user.
Paranoid is the best for ROM to check what is the true snapdragon 820.

On my x722 is weird camera not connect, I already flashed it 3 times, no support

Shall I put on a custom ROM?

Hello dear Elephants, I'm really honoured to belong here because of my new Elephone S8. I really love the hardware but software is really buggy. So, referring to https://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-s8/development/rom-elephone-s8-15-10-eragon-1-0-t3689359, is that a good idea to replace the firmware? If some of you is using this ROM, you can also provide me the pros and cons. Many thanks in advance!
If you're familiar with such things, going from stock to custom and back is pretty simple. Why not just give it a test drive?
I'm not so familiar. I've been flashing lots of ROMs in my lifetime but not into this particular device. Which method do I use to flash firmware?
Will I die, if I flash the Eragon ROM from Elephone's firmware update section?
If you're going to run a custom ROM, spending a couple of hours reading through the thread for that ROM might be worth your time, as it will contain the answers to many of your questions and possibly save you from some future troubles.
Thanks! Will do as you say.
I used eragon rom for a few months but the developer has withdrawn from the project and the latest version is not really stable. I had some network problems and some weeks ago I got problems with massive battery drain of about 15% per hour without any heavy usage. The only thing that helped was to go back to stock. Since then I'm on stock rom again and everything is fine now. I don't experience any major differences in performance.
Anyway I hope the developer will continue his work on the S8 and eragon rom in the future, at least if android 8 will be released.

You can download the latest stock version here:
https://bbs.elephone.hk/forum.php?m...ra=page=1&filter=typeid&typeid=151&typeid=151
Unpack the rar file and load the scatter file with flashtool. Be careful which boxes are checked in the list. I accidently deleted all data (including external memory) from the phone because this option was checked by default!
Edit: I have corrected the link above, the first one did not work.
You can also download on Mega with the following link:
