Hey guys,
I'm still running the stock EUI ROM and getting pretty sick of it.
I've looked at getting my bootloader unlocked and installing TWRP but it seems pretty complicated for this device and what information I could find didn't work for me.
Can anyone show me some noob friendly guides on getting this done?
Much appreciated!
What?!? I never had a phone which bootloader unlocks easier than in Le Max 2. You have a special switch for that i developer options. That's all. Next you have to restart your phone in bootloader mode and flash desired recovery using fastboot commands.

Wow, I didn't know that's how you unlock the bootloader. Sorry like I said I'm not very familiar with this device yet. Thanks!
As far as using fastbood commands I tried that but the drivers didn't seem to work on my PC. I couldn't get any of that to work. But I'll keep trying.
If you have anything like Samsung Kies or HTC Sync, etc. installed on your PC, you might try to remove it and reinstall drivers using "15 seconds ADB installed".
i just posted this yesterday,. i guess i could have chosen a better title... do you have any suggestions?? (maybe "full guide: adb, fastboot, twrp recovery, backup, flashing"?????)

@thielek what windows do you have? I can suggest something if you have win7, for win10 you can find a guide in some other threads.

Hey, this looks really good!
Thanks I will definitely give it a read and try to get this sorted. I'm pumped to get that CM 14.1 ROM when it gets a few more of the bugs sorted.

No, actually you need to disable the signature verification if I recall it right. I can't find the thread for win10 driver installation right now but for sure I have seen it on xda for LeMax2
Here is the tuturial for noobs (I was noob too and I wrote it for people like me):
Here is the quick tutorial for users like me:
1. Enable USB Debugging
2. Connect phone to the computer
3. Unzip this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862669609 and run LE_X2_fastboot.exe
4. Wait until it say "Press any button to reboot phone" and just press random button
5. Your phone will boot into system
If you want change to China 21s with SuperSU, you just have to:
1. Turn off your phone
2. Press VolumeUp + Power button - it's gonna boot you to TWRP
3. You can now upload the 21s.zip and SuperSU-v2.78...zip files to your phone from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-m...a-rom-t3492640
4. On your phone go to Whipe and whipe all data (swipe blue arrow)
5. Go to Install and choose 21s.zip and wait - when it ends it's gonna boot you to the system
6. Turn off your phone and again boot to Recovery (VolumeUp + Power button)
7. Choose Install and choose SuperSU.zip and there you are!
Now you're gonna have China 21s with root and SuperSu!

Wow! That fastboot program was amazingly simple. Thank you! How did I know find this before. The other guides are very long.
So that installed cuoco92's ROM as well as TWRP. Do you suggest using his ROM? That second link you provided in the next paragraph didn't work.
I was looking for a very clean and vanilla android like ROM. I hate EUI and am excited for that CM 14.1 build but it's not ready yet.
Thanks again very much!

The process I am aware of is
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Install twrp (or any custom recovery) in fastboot mod
3. Flash SuperSu zip to get root access.
Can you please explain in your tutorial the first paragraph can do this? I just want these 3 thing to do mentioned above. Thanks.

unlocks you Bootloader, installs TWRP and installs Cuoco92 with root and everything included.
You can install new ROM like 21s and just flash SuperSu zip to get it.

No worries mate, calm down
I've been in the same situation! But I had relocked my bootloader at this point - haha -.-
1. First of all, download haason's toolkit (THANKS!) http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1994961
2. Download a proper recovery (Thanks Lloir!) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995002
3. Get your ROM (I prefer ViperX+ Rom with Elite Kernel(Thanks to Team Venom and nik3r))
4. Run the .exe from haason's and install the HTC Drivers, this is important! (You're propably better of rebooting your PC)
5. Reboot into bootloader, connect it with Fastboot-USB!
6. Flash the new recovery!
7. Reboot Phone into recovery.
8. Now select advanced - and then ADB-Sideload
9. Go into haason's toolkit and choose from extra (bottom, right corner) "ADB-Sideload"
10. Choose your ROM
11. See what happens

Is your device detected?
Don't worrie if the command promp say "no device detected", close that windows and the toolkit will ask you for the ROM you wnat to Sideload.
Did you get to that point?
Have you been able to flash the new recovery?
That would mean, that your system already detected the phone
After step 7 adb push your rom to your phone then boot back into recovery and you should be good

For future notice Hansoons tool kit us typically worthless in these cases (and most others). You need to install the LATEST SDK from Google and run commands out of the "platform-tools" folder. As far as drivers go, you need to install the latest version of HTC sync and then plug the phone into the computer before ever modifying the phone.
Here We have the Root And CWM for Nexus 10 On Android 4.2.2!
Step 1 - Download Android SDK from the Android Developers website and install with USB drivers. See: How to Set Up Android SDK (Fastboot / ADB) on Windows.
Step 2 - Enable USB Debugging mode in your Nexus 10 tablet.
Step 3 - Download Fastboot and extract it in android-sdk-windowsplatform-tools directory. Create directory if not already there.
NOTE: Skip Steps 1, 2, 3 if you already have them.
Step 4 - Download SuperSU v1.04 (UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip) and copy it to your sdcard on your Nexus 10 tablet.
Step 5 - Make sure you have backup your data as it will be removed. Then switch OFF your Nexus 10.
Step 6 - Download recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.3-manta.img and copy/paste it in the android-sdk-windowsplatform-tools directory.
Step 7 - Now go into Fastboot Mode on Nexus 10. How? Press Volume Down + UP + Power key for a few seconds till you see some text on the screen.
Step 8 - Navigate to android-sdk-windowsplatform-tools directory and open Command Prompt (Shift + Right-click > Open Command Prompt).
Step 9 - Type in the following command and press Enter.
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.3-manta.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 10 - Once completed, choose RECOVERY MODE from the Fastboot menu and enter Recovery Mode.
Step 11 - Then scroll down to “flash zip from SD card” and press the Power button to select it.
Step 12 - Press the Power button again and select “choose zip from sdcard”.
Step 13 - Now using your volume keys, navigate to the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip file that you copied to your SD card and select it using the Power button. Confirm the installation on the next screen and the installation procedure should start now.
Step 14 - After the installation completes, go to “+++++Go Back” and reboot the phone by selecting “reboot system now” from the recovery menu. Then Choose yes flash recovery back (this will make CWM your permanent recovery mode)
That’s it. Your Nexus 10 is now rooted on Android 4.2.2 JDQ39 software version of Jelly Bean and even has a custom CWM recovery installed. Check for the SuperSU app in your apps list to verify.

then re run the everything script in toolkit.

5.- Happy days.
Sorry if this has already been asked and I'm not understanding it.
I bought my mom a Nexus10 and it's missing some Indian fonts on it. I saw I need to flash on a fontpack to add them.
The tablet is totally stock, on 4.2.2..
Do I need to unlock the bootloader first (which wipes all the data) and then do the steps from the 1st post?
This whole process is not working for me. I am in windows 8 and it just doesnt let me install sdk nor even ask me to install drivers. Can you suggest what is the possible way out? I am unable to move ahead due to these issues :/
Root failed.
I followed all instructions (I have successfully rooted a number of smartphones and the Nexus 7 before this). The end result is that the Nexus 10 is unlocked, but hangs on bootup with just the X showing. I can't go into Recovery mode (I just get the Android lying on his back with an exclamation point showing and eventually it tries a normal boot - as far as the X).
I can't try Restart Bootloader as this, too, leads to just the X and hangs. I have reset the tab (power + down volume) and also have tried to reconnect the tab to the PC, which now does not recognize it, putting fastboot.exe and adb.exe out of reach. I think something might have gone wrong installing CWM, though it did boot up a couple of times after that with a couple of errors that passed by too fast to copy - before it started to hang. I never got a chance to put superuser on it as Recovery mode is out of reach. I tried a master reset the last time I got to Recovery Mode, but got several minor errors and now seem not to have ANY bootloader working. Short of sending the tab back to Google to have them restore a 'cherry' Android 4.2.2 (for a sum), I'm lost as to where to go next.
Any ideas?

how to root s3mini 8200
Just some things before we start. My Phone is the P769 and I'm a total noob.
Alright, I rooted my phone yesterday and then proceeded to download CWM, the app of course. So, when I went to setup a custom recovery, I picked from the options they had their, to which I picked the P760. Low and behold, I found it was a horrible failure when I rebooted into recovery because I got the security error...I think I soft-bricked it? Correct me if I'm wrong. Anyways, I just downloaded the LGSupport Tool and eventually fixed it.
So I think my question is, where can I get a custom recovery for the P769? Am I supposed to be looking for that in the first place? As you can see, I'm quite lost.
Is your bootloader unlocked?

Do you want custom recovery to flash themed stock roms or custom rom (like cm 11) cause for the latter you need to unlock bootloader first

I have the cm 11 rom file and the gapps file. I just can't find the correct recovery on Rom manager to reboot into so I can install the files
You will first have to unlock your boot loader in that case, follow all the instructions from the first ONLY: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2601480
Then, do the follwong:
1. Have one of the recoveries from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l9/development/p769-recoveries-p769-mirror-issues-t2879854, CM11 and the required G.Apps on your SD card.
2. Navigate (use a mirror if needed) through cwm, restore your choice of #1, and reboot into recovery again from the cwm (Under "advanced")
3. The new recovery should look different and not be mirrored, but the touch will be wonky, don't worry. Flash the CM11 and G.Apps. Do NOT reboot yet.
4. Then flash "cwm_ts_fix_p769.zip". reboot
Done!
I might get to writing a guide after my experience doing the exact same and getting my head around it for the past 2-3 days, but I have a very busy schedule, so I cna't promise anything. Besides, kuma82's guide is excellent.

First off, thank you sooo much. I got this far but right now I'm super confused. How do I restore? Is there an option to restore? Can you explain it to me a bit more specifically if you can?
Also, I didn't know I needed a literal mirror lol.

Sorry for the vague instructions, first, let me ask, is your phone successfully unlocked? Got that fastboot menu on the phone somewhere along the process? Or you can try connect in SW DL mode (Power off phone, hold Vol+ and plug in USB, should see "Unlocked bootloader").
If yes, then you should be on the European 20B with mirror screen and wonky touchscreen, follow the below instructions:
1. Have one of the recoveries from the link I posted AND CM11 (I am using dhiru's version) AND G.Apps AND cwm_ts_fix_p769.zip on to your external SD.
2. Run Start.cmd, push files (Fix_Touch-V20F.zip & MetroPCS-V10E-Radio.zip) to External SD using kuma82's tool
3. Install BusyBox and reboot into the inverted CWM recovery
4. Navigate (use a mirror if needed) through CWM, flash the recovery of your choice AND choose to reboot to recovery from within the recovery
5. (CWM should not be inverted now). Install the files in the given order without a reboot in between:
a. CM11
b. G.Apps
c. Fix_Touch-V20F.zip
d. Recovery you flashed in step 4 - This is critical, as Fix_Touch-V20F.zip installs an older recovery which may cause soft-brick, thus you need to install the recovery again
e. cwm_ts_fix_p769.zip[/INDENT]
6. Reboot

Sorry for the vague instructions, first, let me ask, is your phone successfully unlocked? Got that fastboot menu on the phone somewhere along the process? Or you can try connect in SW DL mode (Power off phone, hold Vol+ and plug in USB, should see "Unlocked bootloader").
If yes, then you should be on the European 20B with mirror screen and wonky touchscreen, follow the below instructions:
1. Have one of the recoveries from the link I posted AND CM11 (I am using dhiru's version) AND G.Apps AND cwm_ts_fix_p769.zip on to your external SD.
2. Run Start.cmd, push files (Fix_Touch-V20F.zip & MetroPCS-V10E-Radio.zip) to External SD using kuma82's tool
3. Install BusyBox and reboot into the inverted CWM recovery
4. Navigate (use a mirror if needed) through CWM, flash the recovery of your choice AND choose to reboot to recovery from within the recovery
5. (CWM should not be inverted now). Install the files in the given order without a reboot in between:

Alright, I kinda softbricked on step 4. I believe my bootloader is unlocked since I'm in CWM, right? I'm going to start from the top again, but I have a bit more confidence this time around.
On step 4 of flashed "CWM 6.0.4.8 No-Touch for P769" and then rebooted in recovery, the option under advance and got a secruity error, or a soft brick...same thing I believe. I dunno what I did wrong.
Check if your are unlocked, try going into software download mode.
Alright, when I go into SW DL, it doesn't say unlocked bootloader, it just shows what it normally shows. But I have the mirror screen and wonky touchscreen...did I miss a step or something? I did everything I believe.

There are steps missing after step 3 you need to flash radio in the inverted recovery and then reboot and the tool and run the unlock command after 45 minutes and press vol + to unlock and then flash a recovery while you're phone is still in fastboot mode (this is the mode your phone is in after you press the vol + to unlock) by using the command fastboot flash recovery (insertrecoveryname).img
Alright, after I push both files to the sd card, I try to install the radio zip, but it fails. Does the problem lie there in?
Wait, did you follow everything from the first post in this thread as I mentioned earlier: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2601480
If yes, then what happened after step 8?
Once you do that, THEN you have to do what is outlined in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l9/general/noob-little-guidance-t2878048/post55588776

Is there honestly something that should be different? Because, when I press the option to unlock the bootloader, it just reboots and what...almost identical with the results of step 6.
Am I playing with my phone wrong? What am I really supposed to do to it for 45 minutes...I want to say there in lies my problem.
Excuse me as I head to class with super inverted phone, lol.
Yes, you have to wait about 45 mins as mentioned in the step, that is why we said follow it to the T.
Hey!
I have Stock China 21s installed and it's pretty well, but it has a lot of LeTV Apps, which I don't want to have.

Can you give me some tips for newbie? How to install new custom ROM? Cuoco/Mokee/CM13 which is the best?
PLEASE HELP

Try this guide

If you're a newbie, then I suggest to go for Cuoco92. He realeased an automated tool to flash TWRP and Cuoco92 18s Chinese Rom.
Be aware that this process will wipe all your data before flashing TWRP and ROM.
Enable USB debugging, connect the phone to your computer and then start LE_X2_fastboot executable. Don't remove your phone from the pc during the process!
When is done, you will see a prompt to press a button, this will reboot your phone. Only then you should disconnect your phone.
From there, you can flash whatever you want through TWRP.

Thank you very much! I'm gonna try this tommorow! Again thanks!
@Star_dust6 thank u very much again! I did everything what u say and it works! I've got now 21s with SuperSU!
Here is the quick tutorial for users like me:
1. Enable USB Debugging
2. Connect phone to the computer
3. Unzip this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862669609 and run LE_X2_fastboot.exe
4. Wait until it say "Press any button to reboot phone" and just press random button
5. Your phone will boot into system
If you want change to China 21s with SuperSU, you just have to:
1. Turn off your phone
2. Press VolumeUp + Power button - it's gonna boot you to TWRP
3. You can now upload the 21s.zip and SuperSU-v2.78...zip files to your phone from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/development/stock-eui-5-9-21s-stable-china-rom-t3492640
4. On your phone go to Whipe and whipe all data (swipe blue arrow)
5. Go to Install and choose 21s.zip and wait - when it ends it's gonna boot you to the system
6. Turn off your phone and again boot to Recovery (VolumeUp + Power button)
7. Choose Install and choose SuperSU.zip and there you are!
Now you're gonna have China 21s with root and SuperSu!
Will this work if I have an LeEco Max 2 x829 instead of 820?
I installed and ran the LE_X2_fastboot.exe and it stops near the beginning saying device not found.
All I want is a run of the mill Andriod 6.0, not their eUI.
Is possible to install the TWRP 3.0.2 by following the guidelines found in the forum even on a G5 LG H850 upgraded to Nougat V20A?
Yes, but you need to install TWRP 3.0.2-1 - you can find it in the twrp thread.

I can not download "no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip"
Starting from a situation stock (LG H850 V20A) would be fair if I did:
- Unlock bootloader
- Install TWRP follow the guidelines and under point 8. . .
- Installation (flash) of "auto_kernel_nougat_h850_V20a-262-02.zip" file
It might work?
Sorry for my english

Do you really need Twrp if you're not going to root? And if you are going to root, then you don't need the no-verity script, just flash SuperSU 2.78r5
No-verity link doesn't work on Twrp page anymore, but Google it and you can find other download links

Twrp thread page 37
"I will say this 1 time and one only.
Reboot to fastboot like you already know how to in adb. Or turn off the phone, hold volume down and insert the USB cable which is connected to PC, into your phone. It will boot into fastboot also.
Then flash the recovery like you have been doing. (JUST THE FIRST STEP, not the 'boot' step that I told you does not work).
LEAVE THE PHONE ON
Pull the USB
PULL THE BATTERY
Now... very carefully my dear frenchman
Hold the VOLUME DOWN BUTTON... then
Hold the POWER BUTTON (at the same time as you are holding volume down)
As soon as you see the LG LOGO.
TAKE YOUR FINGER OFF THE POWER BUTTON ONLY, AND PUT IT STRAIGHT BACK ON(NOT VOLUME DOWN)
You will get the 'factory reset screen'
Select YES twice.
Voilá you are in twrp. Now you can eat croissants with a smile on your face.
Your problem was probably that you stop pressing volume down button too when taking finger off the power button for a second. Taking your finger off volume down makes it boot normally, no matter what you do.
Holding volume down keeps it searching for user input to boot into recovery mode.
P.S. I know it works because I just did it first time using exact steps above. I know some guides and videos are stupid and don't explain it properly. The key is not taking your finger off volume down, only the power button for a second. "
