How I Fixed a LeTV x500 which was on a stock recovery and without an OS

I spent over 2 days trying to find way to fix this. I tried several things, I tried several scatter files and several versions of sp flash tools before I was finally able to flash twrp recovery on the phone which I then used to flash stock rom but after doing that I still had the red light issue which I fixed by flashing a stock rom I saw on a blog with sp flash tools. At the end of everything, I realized flashing that rom was all I needed to fix everything and I wouldn't have wasted several days and several data trying different things that didn't work.

In order to save someone of that time and data if you encounter the same issue, I list out this detailed steps on how to go about it with download links.

STEPS

* Disconnect the phone and make sure it is turned off.

1. Download MTK preloader usb vcom driver https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwI-z-jARlQZVjlMQTAwX1JFNG8/edit?pli=1 here.

2. Read this https://thebroodle.com/microsoft/windows/how-to-install-mtk65xx-preloader-usb-vcom-drivers-in-windows/ blog on how to install it if you're using windows 8 and above disable driver signature verification first. Check https://thebroodle.com/android/install-mediatek-mt65xx-usb-vcom-drivers-windows-8-8-1/ here on how to do that.

3. Download the sp flashable rom for LeTV x500 http://www.androidbrick.com/download/letv-1s-x500-unbrick-rom-mt6795_android_scatter-sp-flash-tool-mtk-drivers/ here.

4. Extract the rom. It'll be advisable to extract the rom to a path without space in between.

5. Open the folder you extracted then open the sp flash tools folder.

6. Right click on flash_tool.exe and click run as administrator. When it shows you a prompt select yes.

7. Click on scatter loading and navigate to the folder where you extracted the rom, you'll see a file named MT6795_Android_scatter... select it and click open.

8. Click the drop down that shows Download and change it to Format all + download.

9. Click the download button.

10. Plug your already turned off phone to the PC. You should hear a sound before the flashing operation begins. Make sure you're using a good USB cable.

11. Once it shows "Download OK" disconnect the phone and turn on the phone. First boot will take few minutes.

12. Now we've successfully resurrected the phone but the rom you just flashed is old and an experimental rom not a stable release.

13. Check http://bbs.le.com/zt/eui/le_1s.html here to download the latest stable release for x500.

14. Copy the downloaded rom to the root of your storage i.e it must not be inside any folder. Rename the zip file to update.zip.

15. Reboot to recovery. Select the clear data option so that the two options are selected then click the start button. If your stock recovery is still showing in Chinese the start button is the button on the right hand side.

16. Once it's done click the left hand side button to restart your phone. Now we've successfully installed the latest stable release.




Troubleshooting

1. If you get the error, PMT changed for rom, it must be downloaded when trying to flash with sp flash tools make sure the download agent is MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin. If that doesn't still fix it, disconnect your phone click on the format tab of sp flash tools. Leave all settings as it is and click the format button then connect your phone. After the formatting process is complete flash the rom again and there shouldn't be any error.

2. When you connect your turned off phone, towards the bottom left side of sp flash tools it'll show some information about your phone. If it's not showing the info (or phone is charging) there'll be an error. Just disconnect your phone, click the download button, and connect your phone back making sure the usb is properly and firmly connected. If problem persists then re-install the preloader driver.



S/N

The downloaded sp flashable rom requires a password before you can extract. If you send the owner of the blog a mail he will send you the password FOC but here's the password he gave me "androidbrick.TR" without the quotation. If that password doesn't work maybe he has changed it so just send him a mail to get the password.

hassanAde:
You've really dine a great job, weldone Bro but I'll like u to write the step by step procedure u followed in ur own language to bring it back, for other people that might end up having same problem, sorry if I asked too much

ok sir. I'll write it when I'm less busy

The phone is now back to life. No more red light thingy after flashing the rom I downloaded earlier with sp flash tools.

Since the guy wasn't with me, I used his phone to test the Indian rom v012S. After several attempts, I was able to make it install on the x500. The rom is fully English with Gapps installed. No Chinese apps though it has Levidi and Leso apps but they're in English not Chinese. I've been unable to access recovery since then even after flashing stock recovery back but that shouldn't be a big problem to fix. The phone now shows x507 under about phone instead of x500 so there probably shouldn't be any problem with future OTA updates. It's not yet showing 013S update maybe it's not yet been released for Indian rom.


You guys should try this ROM. How to make it install on your x500
1. Download the Indian rom here (v012S) http://g3.letv.cn/194/1/65/letv-hdtv/0/upload/tmp/20160323110607321/S1_x500-OS-OP-DHXOSOP5501203231S-5.5.012S.zip?b=123456&platid=5&splatid=500
2. Download Total commander here http://totalcmd2.s3.amazonaws.com/tcmd852ax32_64.exe
3. Open the zip file with Total commander (do not extract it just open)
4. Navigate to Meta-Inf/com/google/android
5. Copy out updater-script to any folder on your PC (don't extract the whole rom)
6. Use a text editor preferrably notepad++ to open it and change all X3_HK to X3 (don't change anything else) and save it.
7. Copy the updater-script file and open total commander to paste it back inside the zip file. You should overwrite the previous one when it asks you.
8. Copy the edited rom to your phone.
9. Boot to twrp (stock recovery didn't work for me), wipe cache, data, dalvik-cache and system then flash the rom. It should successfully install ceteris paribus (all things being equal)
10. Reboot your phone. If you're using a crazy twrp like mine when trying to reboot it will tell you no OS installed (scary lol) but that's not true since twrp successfully flashed the rom.


Note - don't extract the zip to edit the updater-script file then zip it again. I did this but it didn't work for me which is why I used total commander.
X3 is the ID given to x500 while X3_HK is the ID given to x507 (Indian version) but they're the same phone with the same hardware and almost the same rom just a little difference. Normally, what the updater-script checks for is if your device is X3_HK (which will be false in our case) if it's true then continue installing the rom but if it's false then don't install due to difference versions which is why we're changing that X3_HK to X3 so that it will check if our device is X3 instead of X3_HK.


When I get a way to access the recovery back I'll let y'all know


@hassanAde Thank you so much for your help.

I have been able to flash the twrp with sp flash tools, I saw it on a website that I should use the format section of sp to format the phone without bootloader after that I was able to flash the twrp and userdata (as specified by the creator of the recovery).

The problem is I now have the legendary red light issue. Pressing power button doesn't even make the phone vibrate at all. I'll try to leave it plugged for some hours though to see what the problem is.

@hassanAde Thank you very much but adb doesn't see the device and I have drivers installed cos it detects my own phone. I used pdanet to install the driver.

I saw a sp flash tool flashable rom for x500 here http://www.androidbrick.com/download/letv-1s-x500-unbrick-rom-mt6795_android_scatter-sp-flash-tool-mtk-drivers/ I'll try that as soon as the owner of the blog sends me the password to the zip file.

If you see another method too, please let me know. Thank you

hassanAde:
There's nothing like thinking, u can't flash a custom rom with stock recovery, lailai, lemme enter archive if I can find a solution but does he have a backup of his rom, I mean the stock rom on his fone amd does the fone still enters recovery mode?

don't mind him jor he's a novice at custom rom stuffs. He doesn't have stock rom file on his phone but his phone still enters recovery (stock). I have stock rom on my laptop though but I can't find a way to send it to the dead phone.

hassanAde:
Oboy, he should hv tried learning the rules b4 flashing a custom rom, which rom if I may ask? And how was he trying to flash the custom rom, step by step of how he went about flashing the rom

He was trying to flash miui rom. He flashed twrp using the .bat file that automates flashing of recovery via fastboot. He then tried flashing the miui rom which is in the root of his phone via twrp but he said twrp keeps failing after saying no md5 file found meanwhile he already wipe data, cache, dalvik cache and system. He used twrp's file manager to rename the miui rom to update.zip then he used that .bat file to flash stock recovery back thinking he'll use stock recovery to flash the miui rom but that one also failed (as expected na). That's how he has no OS and stock recovery which made him run to my house but unfortunately sp flash tool won't flash the twrp.

If I can flash twrp on the phone then the rest will be easy to fix since I can mount the phone as mtp on twrp or even enable adb sideload unlike stock recovery

Bosses please help bring a friend's dead x500 back to life. He wants to flash custom rom but he's new to stuffs like that so he ended up messing his phone now he has a phone without OS and he's on stock recovery. Adb/fastboot not detecting his phone probably because he has no OS 'cos it detects mine. I also tried flashing twrp with sp flash tools but it keeps saying "PMT changed for rom, it must be downloaded". I tried it with mine too same error. I've tried almost all versions of twrp and I've tried several scatter files also but the problem persists.

Please how can I flash twrp with sp flash tools or any other tool or how can I send stock rom to the phone in it's dead state so that I can install it with stock recovery?

Thanks to y'all in advance.

She is still childish.

You dont start a fight and still go to report first..

how did she start a fight? she reported a story about him because that's her job. If Wizkid doesn't like it he can ignore her instead of replying with childish comments.

After reading this http://thenet.ng/2016/04/7-punchlines-from-wizkids-latest-insult-at-linda-ikeji/ all I can say is Wizkid needs to grow up, he isn't a kid anymore.

Linda is a blogger and sharing stories about celebs among other news is her job and that's what makes people visit her blog. If Wizkid doesn't like that he should just ignore her and her blog and face something more important to him instead of fighting her, that won't stop her from reporting other stories so he is just wasting his time.


Anyway it's none of my business. They're both millionaires, I need to focus on my own life and how to make my own millions.

I ordered mine on wednesday from kulimart and it was delivered yesterday. Very fast delivery. I'm yet to start using it though as there's no light to fully charge it. I bought the 32gb version Gold color (cos they don't have silver color that I'd have preferred).

Who knows where I can get silicon case and other accessories for this phone?

Please just leave yourself out of that thing. Paypal atimes will wait till you have funds limit your account and start asking you epistle.

This is the best advice. I hope he l
Listens

Thanks a lot.

Please does anyone know how to get a verified US (or another country) paypal account while in Nigeria? I already have a verified Nigerian paypal but since I can't fund it, it can't do what I need it for.

Thanks

Let me mention this,please do not be quick to think that anyone posting their UK number is truly living in UK,you can get a working UK number for free without paying a dime....open-telecom.co.uk is a website where you can do that....am not saying that everyone on nairaland with a UK number is not from UK but what I am saying is that some of them are scammers and they know that most people tend to suddenly trust the person if he or she mention that they live abroad...thread carefully my people...they are always quick to drop the numbers....

True talk. Thanks for sharing this

onatisi:
You don't need people to join you before fighting for what you believe in . If you know you are right then institute a court action against gtb and sue them for millions ,if you win it is all good. Great ppl don't wait for crowd or others to join them before fighting for whatever they know is right. If you know you have a case then go ahead and build a case against gtb

I'm not one of them I was just giving my opinion.

Please who has used Paypal to pay of recent? I've been trying to order something online but Paypal keep telling me "we're sorry but we're unable to process payment now" and I don't want to enter my ATM details directly because I won't be covered by Paypal's buyer's protection. I don't know if the problem is from Paypal or GTBank.

Let's be honest here, what GTBank did is unfair. The fault came from them so they are supposed to accept the loss or make people responsible for the error pay the debt. There was a time last season when there was an error on Man Utd's e-store where people were buying $90 shirt for about $43. About 4,000 people already ordered before the error was detected and rectified but Man Utd didn't cancel there orders or ask them to pay more because they know it's their fault. For all orders made by Nigerians at #199.50 per dollar GTBank is not supposed to recalculate their amount using #299 per dollar.

If Nigerians who are affected by this file a big law suit against GTBank that'll teach them and other companies lesson not to mess with us but I doubt if that'll ever happen and as usual we Nigerians will keep suffering and smiling instead of fighting for our rights.

I wish all Jambites success. This year is your year by God's grace.

@Kulimart how much is
1. Letv le 1s 3/32gb
2. Letv le 1s 3/16gb
3. Xiaomi redmi note 3 3/32gb
4. Xiaomi redmi note 3 2/16gb

av used s plus b4 and nw using m5 bt i prefer d m5 more!

Bro is it normal m5 or m5 mini? I'm trying to decide which 1 to go for between the 2. Spec wise I think I'll prefer S+ but due to the #13k difference I'm thinking of buying the cheaper one instead. I'm just so confused
