Dirty Flash - X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, This was my first time installing a custom ROM (installed TruePureXMM) and i did so successfully, my question is, I did it through ADB Sideload without factory reset. So i did a dirty flash. my phone is working flawlessly though. But i heard i should clean flash when installing a ROM. Should i factory reset and do it again or just leave it?

Frank N4 AOSP Crashing

I flashed Frank N4 ROM and my device has been crashing since then. It freezes randomly, becomes totally unresponsive for 5-10 seconds, then reboots. And even when not in use, the device keeps on crashing and rebooting randomly.
I have tried both BaNks as well as Txuki Gapps. Same issue persists.
I have reflashed stock rom, flashed latest twrp, wiped everything except Internal Storage, flashed rom and gapps, wipe cache and dalvik. Done this like 3-4 times. Still no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried another ROM, to see if the issue is there as well? If not I would suggest that.
Thanks for your reply!
This was my first Marshmallow ROM. I used to be on Paranoid Android(the latest stable one) and before that on stock rooted 5.1.1. Never had this kind of issue before.
I'll try another Marshmallow ROM and report back.
EDIT: I tried another Marshmallow ROM. I'm experiencing the same issue. I guess all Marshmallow ROMs will make my phone crash. Any help?
When you installed stock did you do it with a zip and recovery or with fastboot? If you did it via recovery I would suggest doing it with fastboot. This is a guide to do so: http://androidforums.com/threads/guide-how-to-flash-a-nexus-factory-image-manually.706533/

I installed stock via fastboot. Erased data, system, Internal Storage, Dalvik, Cache via twrp. When that didn't work i installed stock 5.1.1 via fastboot.

Bootloop after first restart with multiple CFWs!

Hi guys,
I have the standard note III 9005 and I had always installed CFWs on it.
I wanted to update to newer 6.0.1 Roms (had 6 roms before) but I seem to have a VERY annoying bug:
I tried to install Temaseks rom and resurrection rom but I had huge issues with it. I got bootloops although I got the newest 3.0.2.0 Team Win Recovery Project
I installed rom, GAPPS (correct version of course 6.0.1) , install rom again then delete cache and then it worked on both roms.
So a simple "install rom, GAPPS, then clean cache" didnt work. I tried to install multiple times until I got the installation! YAY! BUUUT!
Here is the fun part:
If I restarted the phone acidentally or on purpose I got stuck in a bootloop. After that the phone was unuseable again so the installation was useless.
Only solution is to completely wipe and reinstall and experiment with the order of installation until it works!
I did install STOCK rom because I was so freaked out and then went with ODIN the complete rooting guide for clean rooting, but still problem exists.
I tried two other roms but the problem was that while flashing the phone restarted automaticly and then TWRP said no installed rom? ???
Huge thanks for helping me!
New info:
I was able to make the rom work. I restarted and got stuck into bootloop!
I could boot normally after deleting dalvik cache!
But after rebooting I got into bootloop. Tried deleting cache again but this time it never booted properly.
How can I avoid by always deleting dalvik whenever I have to restart my phone (if battery dies or purpose)?
PPS: Stock Rom flash works flavlessly. I am waiting in stock rom until I find a proper solution :"(
Suggest you read the roms faqs and Q&A particularly with regard to TWRP .

Stuck while flashing Rom zip [solved]

I officially upgraded to 3.0.2, unlocked and rooted my phone.
It was fine for the first few times I flashed multiple ROMs. But ever since I flashed Exodus, I keep having issues switching to different ROM.
A week ago, I flashed "Switch to OOS3_H2OSMMv7" zip and was able to flash Resurrection Remix, but today when I tried switching to CM13 or PA it gets stuck at flashing the ROM zip. I tried flashing the firmware zip again and flash the ROM, but to no avail. It won't flash any ROMs now, just stuck at recovery while flashing the zip.
I have a working fastboot and recovery mode though, so I'm trying to avoid flashing the entire factory image but that seems to be only option left. Does anyone have any clue as to why this is happening and how I can fix it?
Edit: Resurrection Remix gets installed fine, CM13 and PA still giving me issues.
Edit: I downloaded the latest version of CM13 and it works. Earlier I was using June 30 build which seems to have issues with the new firmware. I'll try out the new PA build to see if it fixes that too.
What error does your recovery gives?
Do you have Data Backup?
Can you access ADB while in Recovery?

It does not show any error as it just looping while installing the zip. I have to force shut down the phone to exit it.
Yes, I have backed up all my data
Yes, I am able to access my phone in both ADB and in fastboot modes.
After flashing Custom ROM, Wipe data, cache, d-cache and then reboot.
If still doesnt work try flashing another custom ROM. You can use adb-sideload to flash another zip in recovery mod.

TWRP not booting system

I tried to factory reset a custom ROM, got sent to TWRP then I can't reboot to system from there. Tried a clean install but to no avail. I've looked around on the internet and I think I have to reinstall stock ROM and then reinstall custom recovery and ROM, except if I were to install the stock ROM once again (with sp tools) I need my phone to be turned off, not in recovery mode. So how exactly should I proceed now?
EDIT: Managed to get rid of the TWRP bootloop by restoring from a stock nandroid I've found on the forums, coupled with flashing a stock recovery image using TWRP. Reunlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP all over again and then flashed custom ROM and Gapps. Everything running fine now.
Mods feel free to delete this post since it's solved itself, or leave it in case anyone needed help concerning the same issue, up to you.

How can I revert to factory state in my Leeco Le s3 (x522 US variant)

Hi friends! I really feel frustrated with this phone.
I began by using fastboot to flash TWRP (twrp-3.1.1-1-s2), used it to flash Lineageos 13.0, but IR BLASTER doesn't work, then I flashed 14.1 and IR blaster, Sim detection, flashlight and camera don't work correctly, I tried Resurrection remix and MIUI8 too but I gave up, neither of those Custom Roms works as I wanted them to.
So I went back to EUI and all was well until I wanted to update OTA, it gave me an error every time, tried to do it with update.zip but nothing, using stock recovery and nothing. I used TWRP and wipe everything again, now this thing won't start it just bootloops, I tried everything for two days and every time I use a stock ROM (5.8.020s) it gives me an error, or tells me it can't be read. When I factory reset and format everything it tells me I dont have an OS installed, so I'm completely lost I don't know what else to do and I can't return the phone because I'm overseas right now.
I really need to have it as when I got it the first time because at least it was functional but I just can't get it to work
I could really use some help right now :crying: thanks in advance guys!

So I managed to fix the problem. When you root this phone or in fact just flash a custom recovery like TWRP, it changes the model of the phone, If you unroot the phone you won't be able to receive OTAs anymore even if you are on stock ROM, you'll always get an error at the end of the update even if you do it manually, if you are dumb like me and didn't make a backup of your stock system, you won't find any help on the internet more than to install a custom ROM and learn to live with the errors and bugs. I did not want that so to be able to get the phone to its factory state, what I did was this:
1. Download: stock recovery image for Le s3 x522 (official, you can find it anywhere), LeEco_X522_5.8.019S_OTA.zip, bootloader-20S-s2.zip, twrp_s3.img (the chinese TWRP recovery) and S2_X522-NA-OP-IFXNAOP5802102141S-5.8.021S.zip
2. Save those zips to the root of the phone, obviously the .img files you are going to flash them through your PC
3. Put the phone in bootloader mode. command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (the official recovery)
4. fastboot boot twrp (the chinese one)
5. From this step what I did was pure luck
6. wipe cache and dalvik and install LeEco_X522_5.8.019S_OTA.zip
7. wipe cache and dalvik and install bootloader-20S-s2.zip
8. wipe cache and dalvik and install S2_X522-NA-OP-IFXNAOP5802102141S-5.8.021S.zip
9. Reboot
How and Why did this worked I don't know, I am a noob but please try if you find yourself in the same situation as I was, you don't lose anything with trying, if this doesn't work don't blame me, this worked for my phone.
Greetings friends!
Thanks for putting this guide together, I am in a similar situation in that I reverted to stock everything (1. Installed YDSS chinese twrp, 2. Installed S2_X522-NA-OP-IFXNAOP5802012141S-5.8.020S.zip. This flash was supposed to have installed the stock recovery and overriden the ydss twrp, but didn't, I had to manually flash that after. Everything came back smooth but my updates also failed at recovery.
I am wondering where you got the LeEco_X522_5.8.019S_OTA.zip, bootloader-20S-s2.zip & twrp_s3.img from?
Nice to hear you finally got it to work ! Aren't the X520 and the X522 the same phone ? Why official ROMs are not compatible ?
