Can't add fingerprints on X820 - LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers

Hello, I have X820 from Banggood with encrypted 5.8.019s vendor ROM. Fingerprint worked till I calibrated fingerprint sensor. I tried to install some modems and now "Tap to Capture" sometimes works, but I still can't register my fingerprints. Maybe I need to install different ROM?

Maybe you need to install different ROM. Try any MM or N rom to get sure about your fp sensor

My phone is encrypted, but I had installed TWRP. What are steps to decrypt the phone and install custom ROM. Thanks!

Heyyo, you shouldn't need to decrypt. The only way to do that is to go into wipe > format data.
I'd recommend trying out the latest test version of TWRP based on Oreo kernel. It has decryption fixes by codeworkx which work fine for me but I haven't pushed it to official as I haven't seen others testing the changes yet.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/development/test-twrp-3-2-1-0-leeco-le-max-2-t3734209
To be honest though, before jumping to a custom ROM I'd recommend first to try out a newer version of EUI ROM as it'll reflash your firmware. I'd recommend either 23s, 26s or 28s and then if you'd rather try out a custom ROM to then jump to whichever you'd prefer.

From MIUI7 to Nitrogen OS, personal experience

Hi,
yesterday i went through the process of flashing custom rom and i just want to share my experience.
My daily driver was the latest MIUI7 because it was very stable and battery life was good (stock global stable, locked bootloader). But i decided to try custom rom mainly because i had strange performance issues every now and then.
1. Applied for official unlock - Unlock Page
2. I read many posts and i tought it might be best to upgrade to MIUI8 first. I updated with the official updater app.
3. Unlocking didnt work because you need a Developer Rom of MIUI installed to link the device to you Mi account and successfully unlock. I downloaded latest global dev rom and flashed with official updater app.
4. Unlocked successful with official Mi Unlock Tool.
5. Installing TWRP ZCX - worked and was easy
6. Backup System, Data, Firmware, Modem with TWRP (didnt need it so far)
7. Flash Nitrogen OS
8. Reboot to system - "to start android enter password" - surprised and shocked so i googled and found a hint to "format data" because storage might be encrypted.
9. In TWRP - Wipe i "formated data" so all files were deleted! be sure to backup everything!
10. Nitrogen OS booted (no need for Gapps - everything is built in)
11. Flash fingerprint fix - apparently i have the Goodix and need this fix for fingerprint to work
12. I was confused because there was no caller app (call worked but no UI) so i flashed new and again and tried Psy Firmware but i just had to set the caller app in settings.
13. All is working good so far :fingers-crossed:
Thanks for all the work done by this community. I greatly appreciate all the cool stuff! :highfive:
EDIT: I have FPC sensor not Goodix. The fix is for FPC! Thanks to @Denis:) for pointing that out.
You are wrong on some points ;p
Its so easy to flash roms on all snapdragon devices
Theres a need for gapps, it doesnt come preinstalled on roms, which is a good thing.
If you flashed fpc fix and it works now, it means you have FPC sensor, not goodix (which is good -like me), dev of NOS will make fpc default from now on.
For next time, you need to format data when you come from Miui MM, because it encrypts data by default.
Also I suggest formatting data,cache to F2FS, it actually makes it even faster a bit imo, but ita not a must.

I have installed LineageOS several times over MIUI but I didn't need to format data. Why does this happen in nitrogen os, any idea?

The level of difficulty may be different for different people
I flashed NitrogenOS and Gapps but then did a wipe and flashed only NiOS but in the end i had all the Google apps... Maybe this part didn't get wiped - Thanks for pointing that out.
Right, FPC sensor - my mistake
The encryption thing was confusing because there is not much info on that topic here - especially the guides. Thanks for confirming this is a thing.
This F2FS format thing is done in TWRP?
If you didnt wipe system aswell, gapps and ROM persisted.-dirty flash (update ROM)
If you want to update ROM + gapps, you must wipe System aswell with dalvik/art, cache
Then flash ROM+gapps , wipe cache and reboot
F2FS is done in twrp but you must have f2fs compatible twrp - I successfuly use rc1 latest by TheStrix, obviously if you choose to format data, cache you will lose data and you will have to clean flash ROM.
P.s By the way, when was your device made? Im just curious

If you want to experiment please try to format the partitions using f2fs and tell us your results.
I tried it but was unsuccessful since when I tried it there was no recovery that could support f2fs. Remember only dadii's TWRP works still I recommend you confirm it again.
Im using this one by thestrix and it works perfect;

currently i don't feel like tinkering with my phone any more. So i keep the F2FS in mind for some time in the future
Hm i don't know where to find the build date of my phone i bought it April 2016

[ROM][UNOFFICIAL]Daily Stock LineageOS 14.1 Builds for the Verizon LG G3 (VS985)

This is just stock LineageOS for the vs985 with no modifications (except baked in root in one edition) built daily from their source code. It's not terribly useful to anyone but people who want to be on the bleeding edge of development for whatever reason (like me), but I figured I'd share. I'll be doing these daily builds for the foreseeable future as long as I own the device or don't change OSes personally.
To install, do one of the following:
If you want to start fresh (or are coming from a non-Lineage based rom):
1.) In TWRP, wipe system, cache, dalvik, and data. Install the standard build (or the standard build with root). Do not install a migration build. Now Install open-gapps if desired. Reboot.
If you want to keep your data (and are coming from a Lineage based rom, official most likely)
1.) In TWRP, wipe system, cache, and dalvik. Install the migration build first, and then an open gapps build if desired. Reboot (it may take a bit). Once you are at your homescreen, reboot back to TWRP, and AGAIN wipe system, cache, and dalvik. Now flash a NORMAL build (with or without root) of your choosing. Again, flash open-gapps. Reboot. All done.
To upgrade, you simply wipe system/cache/dalvik and flash a non-migration build and appropriate gapps.
A warning about migration builds
Migration builds only need to be used once, but they appear to be a one way street. Once you are on my build, you can't "migration-build" your way back to official builds (or at least, I was not able to). You will need to data wipe to go back there. So, caveat emptor. Be sure this is what you want.
Find my dailies (along with build dates) here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=164143
Open-gapps can be downloaded here: http://opengapps.org/
LineageOS Source can be found from the LineageOS github. It was compiled unmodified from this repo:
https://github.com/lineageos
Please, although these are stock code based, they are UNOFFICIAL BUILDS. Please do not bother the LineageOS project for support of these unless you can confirm the issue in an official build.
Thanks for looking! I'll most likely have a new build up tomorrow.
EDIT: Please make sure you are on the 35B bootstack prior to install:
Just flash this via TWRP if you are not sure: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347843993
Has anyone installed this yet and can confirm compatibility?
I use them daily so they are compatible (if you can trust my word that is).
That said, they are not exactly bug free, but no LineageOS build bleeding edge ever can be.
The build server was thrashing it's disk space for a few days due to a build script failing to clean up after itself... this means a few days of builds were missed. This has been fixed, and we should have daily builds again.
Not sure if anyone uses this, but hey, just an update.
Hands down best ROM I've used on the G3. Everything works, very little FC if ever and I've even gotten Dolby Atmos to work with it. Never going back to anything else.
Glad to hear it. My build server had issues again yesterday, but it appears to be related to a bad stick of ram. I hope to have daily builds moving again tonight.
I wiped system, cache, dalvik and data, on my rooted, VS985 with TWRP 3.0.2-0.and got an "error 7: error installing zip file" when I tried to install the lineage-14.1-20170402-UNOFFICIAL_WROOT-vs985.zip.

You'll need to flash the bump-friendly 35B bootstack first. You can get it here:

Do you know if the "updater-script" fix would also work in this case?
If I do choose to flash the 35B bootstack, will I be able to get back to the backup of my current configuration simply by restoring it in TWRP or would I need to flash back the existing 24B then restore?
Lastly, how is your build different from the official LineageOS version for the VS985?
Thanks for your work with this. I think my VS985 still has lots of life in it, your ROM should give it even more.
Question please.
What's different about this "unofficial" stock Lineage from the "official" Lineage that is avail for VS985?
Why would one want this one vs that one?
It is just built more frequently from source to get more daily changes. Otherwise it is identical. It's mainly for those who like to track bleeding edge changes.

A twrp restore should work regardless of the bootstack flash.
I just Flashed lineage-14.1-20170623-nightly-vs985-signed and open_gapps-arm-7.1-mini-20170707 it all went ok but it don't find my SIM card on boot, so how am I gonna get my sim card active. plz otherewise I would have to withdraw my choice of this Namely Custom ROM.
Please helpp!! I was using Lineage OS on my LG G3 VS985 it doesn't come with prebuilt root so I was rooting through SuperSU. I reboot my phone into twrp recovery and installed SuperSU.zip and then reboot my phone but now it is showing Secure Boot Error, boot certification failed. Please tell me how to fix this issue
and how is the camera quality of this rom as compared to stock and other aosp/cm based rom?
I flash the 35B bootstack before all and my phone goes wrong.. It is on power off, there's just 2 flicking red and blue led. When I go to the recovery mode, I can choose any proposition, my phone come back to this condition.. Can someone help me please ?^^ I was on Fulmics Rom
This rom hasn't been updated in some time as I no longer have the phone, so I am unsure how to help.

Can't go through initial setup screen

Hi,
I've got a RN3, snapdragon version, 3GB of RAM. Unlocked bootloader. TWRP 3.0.2-2
I've been using CM for a while, android 6.0.1 and I've been trying now for a few days to move to Nougat.
I've tried different roms: NitrogenOS, lineage OS, resurrectionRemix.
I've also tried flashing different versions os miui firmware: 7.3.16, 7.3.23, 7.3.30
So, after all that, the result is always the same. The flashing seems successful, the phone boots but then I cannot go through the initial setup screen.
I choose the wifi network but when I try to enter the password, the screen resets every 5 seconds or so. I know it's resetting/reloading because the password I've typed so far goes away and I have to start again. It happens every few seconds and I cannot setup wifi properly.
I tried changing the password to aaaaaaaaaa to make it easy and quick to setup. Once I go through that, it stays for ever in the next screen "checking information" (or something like that). Again, it seems to be reloading this screen every few seconds.
is there something am I missing? Maybe I'm flashing firmware/rom in the wrong order?
I'm back with android 6.0.1 now and the phone works fine.
thanks in advance for your help.

thanks @VaibhavKumar07
so, this is exactly what I've tried a few times.
what about wipes and all that stuff?
I don't mind doing a clean install and reinstalling/reconfiguring everything.
I've tried different things, but for example what is mentioned in the thread "CM13/14/14.1/AOSP N firmware for KENZO/KATE [VoLTE][12.1.2017]"
-Reboot to TWRP recovery
-Flash firmware
-Factory reset (data, cache and dalvik-cache)
-Flash your favorite Marshmallow or Nougat ROM
-Reboot your phone
is that still valid for the nightly builds from April 2017?
On Cm firmwares I was unable to get VoLTE working so recommend you to flash Miui beta firmware search in SD Rom or guide section you'll find em if not message me again .
Regarding procedure :
- First flash Twrp 3.1.1.0 from official site cuz that's latest
- Next go & wipe check everything except SD card & OTG
- Flash Firmware
- Flash Rom
- Flash Gapps Arm *64 Android N from Open apps
- Flash Any Add-ons if required like kernel or Sound enhancement mods ( optional )
- Clean cache/dalvik cache
- Reboot
Mention the Rom you're flashing!

So, I did all that several times, except for flashing the latest twrp version. I'm on 3.0.2-2 because it flashes ok but when rebooting it's back to 3.0.2-2. I'm doing this from fastboot. I'm not only loading, but flushing. It seems to be ok but then it's gone after reboot.
Anyway, I've tried this procedure with 3 different roms:
ResurrectionRemix
LineageOS
Nitrogen OS
flashing latest versions for each rom.
Could the twrp not updating properly have something to do with this issue? does the latest version fix some flashing issues with Nougat?
the thing is that if flashed and boots, but it doesn't run properly as mentioned.
I will try to get latest twrp version working and report back if that makes any difference.

so, still fighting with this.
i managed to upgrade to twrp 3.1.0-1, all good.
however, i still have the same problem with the initial screen, it keeps reloading every few seconds and can't finish the setup or even skip it.
i've tried different versions of firmware. I've also tried flashing the latest miui rom (dev and global) and then a custom rom.
i've tried different builds (different dates) of the following roms:
nitrogenOS
lineageOS
aospextended
mokee
resurrectionremix
exact same behaviour with all these roms.
what am I doing wrong? i'm on marshmallow and everything works fine, but stuck moving to nougat. do I have to flash something not mentioned already to move from custom MM to custom Nougat?

[Fixed] Encryption isn't working anymore

I finally managed to find a working fix for this issue after having found this post. The origin of the problem is TWRP:
gordonthegopher said:
Formatting /data in TWRP uses up all the blocks, but encryption from Lineage needs 16kb of free space at the end of the partition to store the headers.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Fix
You have at least two solutions to fix this issue:
Resize your /data partition to free up the needed space. Here and here are guides how to do it. I haven't give it a try, so I can't confirm it's working, but several other guys reported this fix working.
If you're not comfortable to resize your partition, you can use an old version of TWRP. Beginning with version 3.2.0.0 TWRP seems to use up all blocks for /data. So you need a version prior to this one. I've used TWRP 3.1.0.0, but 3.1.1.0 should also work. Step by step:
Download and flash TWRP 3.1.0.0.
Boot into recovery and do a factory reset: Main menu -> Wipe -> Format Data (confirm with "yes"). I also wiped Cache and System (Main menu -> Wipe -> Advanced Wipe).
If you're going to flash a Nougat based ROM you can stop reading and start flashing and encrypting
If you're going to flash an Oreo based ROM you now need to update your TWRP version as anything prior to 3.2.0.0 doesn't support flashing Android 8.1. The official TWPR version sucks because you won't be able to decrypt your phone when booting in recovery. I've used the TWRP provided in this post.
Install your preferred ROM and encrypt it.
I haven't tested it, but dirty flashing a ROM (without a factory reset) might also work. But this usually leads to some random ****ups.
Also the TWRP alternative "Orange Fox" was mentioned as a solution in this thread. I actually can't remember if I've used Orange Fox to factory reset my phone or if I've flashed it only after having performed a factory reset using TWRP. For me Orange Fox didn't work (= encryption didn't work). But you might give it a try...

Hi guys,
I'm kind of stuck right now because I cannot encrypt my phone anymore and I don't know why. I got my phone last year and installed LOS 14.1 right away. For security reasons I also encrypted it - without any issues whatsoever. When LOS 15.1 came out, I upgraded my phone, with encryption still working. A couple of days back for some reason I decided to do a factory reset. Obviously, the device wasn't encrypted anymore after the reset. I then installed the new nightly of LOS (20180807) and tried to encrypt my phone once again. When I select "Encrypt phone", I need to enter my PIN, the phone restarts and reboots without encryption being started.
What I've done so far:
I've flashed two different TWRP versions: 3.2.3.0 and a customized one (https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...other-development/rom-lineageos-15-0-t3690465).
I've clean installed different LOS versions (unofficial LOS 14.1 and LOS 15.1 starting from the 20180710 release)
I've clean installed Omnirom (current release and a release from 20180107).
I've even flashed MIUI 9 and reinstalled LOS thereafter because some guy in the above mentioned LOS thread wrote, that this did the trick for him.
I've disabled WI-FI and mobile data before trying to encrypt my phone, because I found a blog article stating that this might help.
Nothing helped. The phone just reboots and stays unencrypted.
Do you guys have any additional hints or ideas how I can manage to encrypt my phone once again? Could another TWRP version do the trick? Is TWRP even involved in any kind when it comes to encryption of the OS? Do you think another ROM could be helpful?

I'm also having trouble with this. Many days ago, someone told they had successfully encrypted their phone. I tried to replicate what he did, got miui.eu and flashed LOS afterwards.
After tons of restarting, reflashing, all kind of stuff, the encryption still doesn't work. Pfff.

That's the most ****ed up part. For some people it does work, for some not.
There surely must be some ridiculous small detail we're not getting. Like disabling WI-FI while Bluetooth is enabled.
Things I've also tried:
installed a new kernel: ElectraBlue (https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...rnel-electrablue-kernel-redmi-note-4-t3655651)
flashed an old LOS 14.1 with kernel 3.18.31 which I found here
used different screen lock types (PIN, password, pattern, swipe)
charged my battery up to 100%
reformatted my data partition with f2f
Of course, my device is still unencrypted...
Has anyone any idea why encryption might fail? I mean, it did work in the past with LOS 14.1. So why does it even fail with an old release of LOS 14.1? I don't do knowingly anything different to all the times I've successfully encrypted my phone in the past.
Does the factory reset still leave some files untouched?

Huh... I didn't even think about the firmware. That would explain why the one user who flashed MIUI before installing LOS could actually encrypt his phone. I'll definitely give it a try.

I'm looking forward to hear the results. I'm about to become insane because of this encryption issue.
I've flashed both the dev and stable firmware found in this thread. No success
By flashing I mean factory reset, flashing the firmware and then installing LOS. I noticed, that flashing a new firmware while a ROM is still installed leads to some random ****ups.
After a couple of days of flashing, factory resetting, re-flashing, reading and a lot of cursing I finally found a working solution. I've added the fix to my initial post. Hopefully this helps
I was looking for solutions for quite a while and nothing else worked but did this and my device is encrypted again.
Thank you!

is there any plan to fix twrp itself?? thx
Thank you. It worked for me to get Havoc OS 9.0 with hardware encryption on my Redmi Note 3 SE.
I bypassed unlocking the bootloader by doing this. Then I installed TWRP 3.1.0.0 from the recovery, did the reset and everything as instructed here, updated it to 3.3.1.0, rebooted, then flashed the Pie ROM and latest gapps without any further wiping.
I use the first link, I've modified the partition size -> did the trick wihtout formating nor loosing datas
Great, thank-You.
Hi, I want to ask, what is this encryption features you been using? can u tell me?

Correct method of flashing a ROM?

Hey, I already have my phone unlocked and twrp installed. Currently using nitrogen OS rom but it feels like i flashed it wrong.
What should I do after a full data wipe? Should I flash the latest vendor first then disable force encrypt? Or should I install vendor then rom and gapps then disable force encrypt? Even if I did a full wipe it is still asking for a pin but i'm able to amswer it. It's just that everytime I try to reboot my phone it will ask for a pin again to fully boot the OS, Btw may I know the difference from vendor to firmware? And may I know the latest version of what should I flash?
TIA.
