CN 28S might be the best modem firmware - LeEco Le Max 2 Guides, News, & Discussion

Heyyo,
UPDATE: I now recommend FULL firmware and not modem only firmware. I have links to then on my LineageOS 15.1 for X2 thread here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le...geos-15-1-oreo-leeco-le-max-2-t3771577/page24
Use whichever feels best. Some say Chinese 28s, some say developer 466D so it's up to you to decide for your device.
Original post:
So after some testing? I think that Chinese 28s modem firmware might just be the best one of the bunch.
I get the best signal strength I've seen yet plus the fingerprint reader speed when the device is asleep is still darn good!
Usually, at my kitchen table I get two signal bars but meow I'm getting this just like the attached picture
Otherwise? Developer 466D is also really good some have reported. I'd recommend people test this if they find Chinese 28s not to their liking

Which ROM were you using when you flashed this? I just tried on RR and the phone enters a bootloop. It passes the LeEco logo and the screen goes black. Then, a minute or so later, the phone reboots by itself and the whole process repeats over and over

works for me. can not tell if there is any difference.

On which software? Stock or custom ROM?

Ok. I clean flashed the ROM again (RR) and it worked this time, but I don't see any difference, either

i used rr long time but switched to eui short time ago.

Yes, it's a zip file you need to flash using TWRP

u need twrp
You can try booting to fastboot
Extract the zip file and take NON-HLOS.bin file and place it in adb folder
and type this command
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot reboot

@ThE_MarD
Thanks a lot! I was a little bit skeptical that it can make a difference, but somehow I decided to give it a try. So I've installed the 26s modem and I have to say that the fingerprint sensor feels much more snappier than before. Still it's not at the level of Letv 1s that I've owned previously, but it's fast enough. About the connection to the network, I cannot confirm anything, but the FP sensor is faster for sure. At least I don't have to stick all the finger to it to get detected. EXCELLENT!!

Thanks very much
the fingerprint is really better and faster on 26s
i was on the 23s modem firmware and some times the FP is not responsive and slow
but now it's really good .

Heyyo, I've tested it with (in no particular order) OmniROM, LineageOS 14.1, BlackX, Slim Roms, Paranoid Android, AEX, Pure Nexus Project and Dirty Unicorns. Modem firmware flashing works with any ROM.
With WiFi dropping? Hmm sorry but I haven't faced it yet... For your router does it have the latest firmware updates?
For mine I've also forced it to only use WPA2 with AES encryption. Works good as before it was set to auto mix of WPA 1 and 2 with both TKIP and AES encryption which is only good if you're connecting old devices like the original Wii or an original Nintendo DS which doesn't support AES and WPA2... So that could be something else to try

The stranger thing is that my s8, does not face this problem. This problem just appear when Im using a custom rom based on nougat.

Please Everybody... iv just downloaded the modem. I want to know how to install it? Is it through the twrp process? I'm presently on the 26s rom from cuoco. I'll b expecting your reply.

Yes, it has to be installed within TWRP. Just flash the zip and reboot, no need to wipe data, cache or dalvik.

Hhmm well every wifi device can act differently eh? Just my recommendation for your router anyways since WPA1 with TKIP encryption is nowhere near as safe as WPA2 AES which has less security weakness potentials (minus the recent one that is heh).
Otherwise? I'm not sure what to say amigo. Have you tried OmniROM last build? It is really darn solid.

Just some ideas I have. Did you install mm firmware?
Otherwise, I have had FP menu disappear twice in the past. Both times it was after my FP sensor was exposed to some water, so essentially it was compromised. Maybe yours was damaged? I tried wiping and flashing and reflashing different ROMs and firmware and it came back about a week later. I believe the FP sensor finally dried and the water was gone from in there so it worked again. So I think when the sensor is damaged it is removed from settings as if it is not there.
Hope this helps.
Try cleaning credentials, maybe this helps.

MM firmware is the driver package for marshmallow (android 6.0), it allows you to use fingerprint sensor. On the list of things to install for turbo rom Ordenkreiger did not put that you have to install it but it is required for fp sensor. If you check other cm13 based roms here most will be explicit about installing it.
Here is the link for the firmware for our device, just flash it before installing the roms and FP will work: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24533103863141329
It only needs to be installed once and then you never worry about it when installing other marshmallow roms. That is the same link given in other threads for our Zuk. Hope it works!

Thanks a lot, worked for me too, after flashing lineage os from cos 12 my finger print option disappeared too. Luckily I found this now every thing works again!
I had the same problem. And tried all the available options like updating mm firmware, Going back to COS 12.1, CM 13, LOS 14.1.... Nothing really worked. For some time finger print worked in COS12.1 and after a while it malfunctioned, and vibrated continuously. Then I have taken to the service center. There they have replaced the whole screen.( dont know the exact reason and the person delivered the mobile is too noob to ask). So what I mean is it is a hard issue upto my knowledge. If your mobile is covered in warranty, give it a try..
This file only makes a penguin logo appear when I boot my rr ROM. Did not provide the finger print option. Hope this does not mess with my phone. Is there any way to remove this thing I flashed?
lineage-14.1-20171031
I cannot find the fingerprint menu. Where should it be? The setup was interrupted and now I cannot find it.

Solution for Redmi Note 3 Volte issue

http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=402767&mobile=2
A little backgroud:Like most of the users of Redmi Note 3,I have been at wits end to get volte working on the recent versions of global developer rom.Post 6.9.22 I wasn't able to use volte and since the feature was essential to me,I would revert back to 6.9.22 global developer rom.
Soultion:Here is an easy way that would help you guys to get volte up and running on the recent versions of MIUI.I backed up my 6.9.22 rom using TWRP ZCX,since I had volte working on it.I installed the version 6.10.27(since it was on my laptop,tested on 6.11.3 as well..screenshot enclosed)using TWRP ZCX,then restored the modem and efs from 6.9.22 that I had backed up.Volte is up and running.No issues so far.Will update this if I face any issues.
Result so far:Volte is working flawlessly on 6.11.3.In fact it is better than in 6.9.22,where you had to delete the APN to get volte.Also no issue of data being on at the time of volte,like it was in some earlier builds.Posting a screenshot as well.
Anyway to install 6.11.3 using twrp ??
i havnt faced any volte issue, m always on latest beta.

There is a minority of people on MIUI forums also who say what you are saying.I have even tried clean flashing on my device,but it doesn't work.As I said you are the lucky few.For the rest of us it has been 6.9.22 all the way.At least till yesterday.Hopefully the developers will find a permanent fix.I am not complaining as the fix I posted yesterday is working flawlessly.

anyways i barely use miui forum so no idea about it, and builds are perfectly fine because we all downlods frm same servers, issue may be device specific or may b large batch of devices are affected frm it, btw global beta releases for RN3 qualcom were suspended after 6.10.13 bcoz few major bugs have been reported on few of the devices, may be you r one of them.

I myself suspect the same.Maybe some differences in device hardware.Global dev 6.11.3 has been released yesterday for Redmi Note 3 after being suspended for a few weeks.I was on 6.9.22 and initially downloaded the ota zip and dirty flashed it.Lost volte.Then reverted to 6.9.22 and decided to do something.lol.Can you tell me which version you last used fast boot ROM of?Just curious.I just yesterday saw a mod telling a poster that volte is working fine on beta 6.9.22 and global stable 8.0.6(haven't tried that..tried 8.0.5 but volte wasn't working).They are well aware of the issue.That confirms that there is one.
PS:Also if you dirty flash to 6.11.3,please do post your experience here.Whether volte works normally.

as i can see in screenshot above, you are using 2 gb variant, and i use 3gb variant, we are on different soc so it quite obivous that we will have different experiences. i still wonder wat kind of problem you are talking about because i never suspected anything like that.. i flashed 6.8.x as a last fastboot rom, afterwards i do dirty flashes, i used boot image patcher previously but nw i do it with zcx twrp. and 6.9.22 was quite stable build for me.. i didnt noticed any bug in anything. i hv jst flashed 6.11.3, its booted up, and seems fine to me as well.
Edit: Everytime i flash beta builds, i need to flash super su, xposed, few mod zips as well... and i have toremove bloatwares and few xiaomi core apps too everytime.. after all these efforts the rom becomes so smooth and fast to play with.

I didn't know you have a 3Gb variant.One thing is clear to me now that there is a definite issue with certain devices and I own one of them.As is evident we have a slightly different hardware configuration.But thankfully not a big deal now as I have it working flawlessly and xiaomi can take its own sweet time.Enjoy the new update.

[ROM][GT-I9190/I9195][7.1.1] LineageOS 14.1 for S4 Mini 3G/LTE daily build

Hello!
I saw that the xda topic lack of fresh builds of LineageOS 14.1 for S4 Mini 3G/LTE.
In this address there are new builds every day! https://visi0nary.de/builds/full/
I'm using lineage-14.1-20170408-UNOFFICIAL-serranoltexx.zip with open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170408.zip and addonsu-arm-signed.zip on an I9195.
Hey there,
can I flash a ROM without losing my data?
I'd like some bugs fixed, but setting the phone to my liking every time is a pain in the butt.

If you have LineAgeos 14.1 as your current rom, then it is okay, if you have stock or another branch, then a full "start from beginning" is the good choice!
BTW, there are new 04-11 build if you have the i9195 version!

I have the i9195 dual-core version (LTE serralnotex), the ROM's one of the very early January builds.
So it's as simple as making a backup, downloading the install file to my SD card and flashing it?
Lovely!
Updated the phone. The bugs are now gone, I can set battery options and camera works flawlessly.
Substratum works fine with this build as well (previously had a bootloop warning).
Thanks for the heads up and big props to the developer(s).
For some reason, sometimes when I try to enable cellular data it doesn't work (The "H" icon doesn't show and there's no connection).
Anybody else have this issue? or a fix?

You should set the APN settings, I guess... Search the right one, my telenor has: "online" APN settings.
EDIT: Only sometimes? Then I have no clue about this, I'm using wifi only.

not possible, when you flash a new rom, you have to wipe your entire phone from your custom recovery (twrp, clockwork, etc), and then you flash your rom and gapps if you have to.
So no, when you flash a new rom, regardless of what the new rom may be, you WILL lose all your data.
Best thing to do: back up everything, and then flash your new rom.
Also, if you happen to brick it, trust me, it happens... just fastboot or odin the same firmware you had, that should unbrick your phone...
Happy Modding!
Having trouble flashing nougat to my S4mini. When i connect to Odin it does not see the file. Phone is rooted and according to Rom manager my recovery is twrp but when I proceed from there it appears to look like a stock recovery. Because Odin doesn't see any recovery zip files I cannot flash. Any help is appreciated.

Phone is rooted and according to Rom manager my recovery is twrp but when I proceed from there it appears to look like a stock recovery. Because Odin doesn't see any recovery zip files I cannot flash. Any help is appreciated.

Odin can't flash zip files, that is why it does not see them. You need to use recovery to flash zips and Odin for tar files. Try relash TWRP for your phone model with Odinfrom neozones thread then use TWRP to flash zip from sd
(Edit the tar may be in the zip file, but you need to unzip it first)

[Discussion] Official Android 7 on Tab S2

Samsung has started releasing official nougat to tab s2 and most of you have already flashed the images. Some have nougat on their for device for almost a week. I would really like to know their view points on this update. Like battery life, wifi/bluetooth connectivity, stability, features etc.
Share your likes and dislikes coming from marshmallow build, or anything you would like to share . :good:
I flashed Stock Nougat on my SM-T810.
I can be wrong - still testing - but I have the impression that wifi connection is not that stable as it was when I used Lollipop Stock (I've never used marshmallow).
I'm experiencing wifi drops from time to time.
edit:
actually, there is no problem with wifi. After some testing, I found out that it's the 'optimize battery usage' that was restricting some functionality of my syncing app. After I disabled it, it's all working very well now.
Guys please help. When I flash the nougat from odin on my device (t815) stuck in the last step. In odin says something for "radio" and then it says error. Can someone help me? I can install easy the Mm via odin but I cant in nougat
Im not root
same error
Use Odin v3.12 for nougat updates
Yeah same error with odin 3.12
I used newest. Few dayz ago updated friends t715 with same odi without problems. It is something about sequence of partitions, I think I have read something about it time ago. Remember as through fog, as we say here... I am sure someone has solition.

Friend, if yoi have time, download on sammobile also 6.01 for UAE and try. I not have time. I afraid you will be unable to flash even uae 601. If success, try ota or odin uae 7.0
The battery seems to drain a lot faster than on 6.0.1, I disabled location and debloated A LOT but it still seems to lose 5% per hour overnight with a lot of wakelocks and Android-System and Kernel seem to use a lot of battery.
Battety stats are a bit hidden in the settings so I use GSam Battery Monitor.
After some tests it looks like the WI-FI is waking the device.. When I'm not connected to WI-FI I lose almost no battery. Maybe it has something to do with the 5Ghz channel? Still trying to figure this out.
Playstore also seems to lag the device while updating apps, this I didnt experience on MM.
Automatic brightness changes too drastic, and sometimes it deels like the screen is not bright enough
I didnt test Bluetooth and location yet.
Other than that everything 's fine and I like the new nougat features.

Did you try factory reset? It usually take care of some issues.

No I didn't. But I flashed the update manually so it was a clean install. Then I rooted, restored my apps using TiBu, debloated and wiped dalvik and cache.

Man I think its not the same.. stuck after modem.bin. and before hidden.img
So i think is something wrong with the modem.bin file idk.
If like this, definitely. I have not seen on which point my fail...
Maybe you can try to download and flash XSG (emirates 6.0.1 rom), and try ota or odin over it...

Ok I will try anything today and If I find something I will reply
Thanks to @ksr007 I was able to flash T815 nougat fimware to my T815Y(system & kernel to be exact). And just so you know doing this specifically will trigger knox. Anyways so far the nougat look really neat. Battery backup so far seems to me same as that on marshmallow. Wifi 5g and bluetooth are working well. I would like to tell you while I was optimizing my settings and all I found that my settings app became laggy. I was surprised that this happened to me, since I had just kinda installed official firmware in a way, what I found out later that I had disabled "print spooler" app in setting and enabling it fixed it. I can still reproduce this issue any time . Maybe its a bug or its just me idk. But overall the os is smooth as mm for me. Setting app and many more which earlier didn't had split/pop-up mode supports them now, thanks to nougat. I'll see how this performs before I root/modify it.

Hey I find the solution
First on your pc extract any file from the nougat filmware with 7-zip
Then follow this guide to convert files from img to md5-tar
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446269
And just flash any file one by one via Odin..
Just don't install the hidden.img file. (Idk why this file needed) I hope someone from here tell us
Post please screeshot what exactly you flashed and get success
This is similar to my suggestion. But, you extract 1 bih file and divide it in 4 and flash all of them, except hidden. Img? This is probably same as my suggestion. Thanks anyway

I can't post screenshot atm but like I said before
In Odin flash any file expert hidden.img and if you want to keep twrp or cwm don't flash recovery.img too.
what you exactly done? @Θοδωρής

Ok step by step
Download the nougat from the link above
From Windows extract the files (extract nougat file) with 7zip program
Then follow this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho....php?t=2446269 you need to convert files from img to md5-tar. It's really easy if you follow this guide.
Now via Odin flash on your tablet these files one by one like any time except hidden.img and you are done.

New treble roms for Honor 8 and P9

I have seen that nobody shared this informations: openkirin is working on lineageos, resurrection remix, carbonrom and omnirom. These are treble ROMs and openkirin has published beta previews that support our device, we have fully working cameras with stock emui camera app on every rom( with all functions), every rom works perfecly, no bugs, no issues, everything works, I only faced with overheating caused by fast charger that I fixed using a normal charger. You find links on openkirin telegram group, keep in mind that these are only previews so things could be even better. (Thanks openkirin)
Fully supported Openkirin LOS b5 for honor 8 is out... Download at openkirin.net

Can we enable it by a magisk module called volteenabler??
No. No volte. The openkirin team will tell you the exact same thing. And sorry but those who pay attention to xda about Oreo know these images already exist. They've been discussed here for well over a month.
I don't think the Treble ROMs are working very well. I've Tried LOS Beta 5 from openkirin's website. Factory reset using custom recovery after Flashing the LOS system image didn't work. However the ROM booted and there was some issues like, random google error message pop-ups and both the camera apps aren't working. I've tried this thoroughly by following the installation guide on their website but still had these issues. Any suggestions or help is welcomed.
You should NOT use custom recovery at all.

Just use commands ( fastboot erase system and the Fastboot flash system ) for installing.
Graphical issues had fixed and reuploaded .Download it again :highfive:
i have Android 8, emui 4.2 and i want to flash one of these roms. Root and open bootloader is there.
Somebody has an idea what the perfect procedure to flash one of this roms is? First Oreo than the rom? Thanks

You first need to update to Oreo, yes. Neither Marshmallow nor Nougat support Treble ROMs.
Depending on where you live and what model you own you probably need to rebrand though. Or you wait until Honor/Huawei rolls out the update for your region, which shouldn't take TOO long anymore.

Just bear in mind... installation needs to be done through fastboot and not through twrp.. Also its also recommended that you extract the stock files like ramdisk etc. so that incase something goes wrong you would be able to go back to it
All the best mate.. I m running LoS B5 with Magisk and it works like a charm..

Thanks for the tips. And yes I flashed via fastboot not twrp. But if you please, could you write down exact steps to flash this ROM considering I'm on EMUI 8 with stock Recovery... And what would be the exact steps that I need to do next.
Are you using Magisk 16.x? And it works with fingerprint and PIN set on the device?

Okay. I had followed the instructions on openkirin.net. However I ran into some issues that I posted recently. I'll wait for the link. Now I'm going to try RROS B2.

I'm experiencing similar things.
SD card doesn't get recognized/system says it's corrupted which is obviously isn't, root via ramdisk method works but Magisk is buggy and modules just won't install, WiFi randomly turns off or disconnects with no pattern behind it... I've tried both LOS (twice) and ROS (once) and they both have similar problems. Guess I'll have to stay on EMUI then... *sigh*

Have you tried the RROS B2? It was posted recently. It's working well for me now.
