Bricked Le S3 X626 after flashing TWRP, can't power on, PC won't recognize device

[joebah]

Guys I've used the unbrick ROM from here :
https://www.gizmochina.com/2016/12/20/leeco-le-2-x620-x620-pro-x625-pro-rescue-guide-video/

It apears to be an aosp ROM once you boot to it but everything apears upside-down and corrupted.

When I get into fastboot the device wont get recognised on pc.
Also the files ftom tikernel website cant be downloaded it loops into adware over and over again.
Should it be ok if I use a fastbot ROM for needrom once I get the fastboot workig?
And yes I have installed ADB drivers but still it wont get recognised

Thanks for the ROM link - I'll be sure to include this in the documentation at the beginning of the thread!

The part where you do the final recovery is documented at the beginning of the thread. You still need to download S3_X626.rar
from the tickernel website to do all the fastboot stuff. Fortunately for you, this file is hosted on mediafire (as opposed to the other files where the URL is hidden and the only way to get the download is to through all the adware loops) so I will paste the link here (hopefully it'll work and this is not some randomly generated link - let us know!):

http://www.mediafire.com/file/cmkqb7sat2be9h7/S3_X626.rar

I also copied the instruction for this part from my documentation for your benefit:

Part 5 - Running .bat files in S3 X626 folder
----------------------------------------------------

1) Boot the phone in fastboot mode per instruction (Vol -, Power), and the familiar black screen with Chinese characters showed up on the phone. Plug in the phone back into USB. By now the PC fully recognizes the X626! So no more annoying connect/disconnect problem.
2) Run the file 开机oem解锁-音量下+开机键_读取Devices.bat. The Dos prompt would then show that is doing a bunch of stuff (I guess it's unlocking the bootloader?) and then a text file "Devices.txt" is generated in the folder..
3) Run the file 刷机.bat. You will get an error on the dos prompt. So what you need to do is change the folder name from "乐视S3_X626" to "S3_X626" by removing all the Chinese characters. Run the file again and the dos prompt will through some sort of flashing process which will take about 10 mins.
4) Unplugged the phone and hold down the power button for a while to reboot. You may need to do this several times as I found that I was stuck in the bootloader screen.
5) Now the phone would reboot normally and the "EUI" logo showed up. What happened to me was it froze. So I rebooted the phone again, and this time the EUI logo showed up and it started to initialize all the default apps (I think 15 of them). That took about 10 mins. So be sure that your battery is fully charged when you do this!
6) You are then taken to the setup screen, put in the Sim Card and connect to Wifi - skipped the finger print set up stuff and you will be back to the home screen.
7) You'll note that EUI is version 5.9.020S (I was on 5.8 earlier), with baseband, IMEI and everything all in place.

I've used the fastboot ROM of X620 at needrom phone works like a charm now!
One thing to note on the guide is that my phone would stuck on COM3 port.
Someone here suggested that if the COM port stuck youll have to press power and Volume - when connecting into PC.
The phone would start connectinng and disconnecting (changing ports) then immidiatly pree Download on SP Flash Tool.

After I was done with flash tool I couldt use the fastboot ROM linked in comment one. I got an error message. So I decided to flash the stock ROM through RECOVERY. So I downloaded the stock ROM from Needrom.com, link is here:
https://www.needrom.com/download/leeco-s3-x626-official-stock-rom/
Rename it to update.zip and copy this on ur phone. Now enter Recovery Mode pressing volume up and power button. Ull see a flipped/mirrored image. U only have to leave everything how it is and try to touch the right position of the highlighted button, which is a bit above the right corner bellow. The process starts u only have to wait. In 10 minutes u get in ur phone. Dont get frightened it will start in Chinese, but no more flipped image!!! After that u can istall this fastboot rom with multilanguages:
https://www.needrom.com/download/leeco-letv-le-s3-x626-multilanguage-eu-fastboot-stock-rom/
The easiest way to do it is:
Unzip the fastboot rom to desktop
Go within ur folder and press shift and right click mouse and choose open cmd window here(or something similar, my OS is not in english)
In cmd window type run, press enter and let the command do its work. It takes about 10 minutes.
Press the power button for long.
Done!
Now its time to solve the IMEI and baseband isue!

Thanx joebah for the explanation, bricked the phone last Friday but managed to bring him back to life with your method.

How did I brick the phone?

unlocked the bootloader via fastboot
and issued a "fastboot reboot" and BOOM bricked.

Glad phone is working now, it was a gift for my wife.

So I stucked at the IMEI isue. I have googled a lot, none of them seems to work. So how could I rewrite IMEI on this phone? Im using S3 X622.

Community pls help I had a hard time creating an account I want to avail LeEco services. I thank you.

To the IMEI fix. You need root access. The most simple is if u get a custom rom with root and istall it through TWRP. BB72 X620 Rom automatically roots ur phone. Here it is:

After that u only have to install Chamelephone app which will do the trick! To fix wifi nvram error flash this zip through TWRP :https://www.skyneel.com/how-to-fix-nvram-error-in-all-mediatek-devices

Thanks for everyone who helped me and others!

Download the Le X620 fastboot rom from needrom.
Then boot into fastboot and open the .bat file .
You phone may reboot if that happens boot into fastboot mode again and run the .bat file again.

Hi, Freind thanks for the help you are doing for everybody. There is no proper thread that helps this ****ty phone. Thank you very much first of all. Please help me to unbrick my x626 just bought today. The phone was restarting again and again.So decided to install twrp and install custom ROM and ended up bricking. I have downloaded all the files. But I cannot load the scatter file. It's giving me the error . Please help me. I have attached the screenshot. Kindly help me. Eagerly waiting for your reply. I haven't used the phone not even for a minute. And another thing I have also downloaded the scatter file you have attached to the 6'th page or something. It is also not working, giving the same error message......

 

[kanewilliam]

Now I have changed the source file of Flash files and scatter file to another New folder. Now Scatter is loading Good . There is some virus in x626 folder.So only its giving issues . Now new problem arose. Phone is connecting only in MTK usb mode.Not in VCom mode. What to do now ?

Hi I had that problem as well and from my memory, I resolved this by uninstalling all the drivers associated with this USB device, then reinstall the VCOM driver again. Then the 'only' problem you'll have left is the phone switching port. However, as my instruction at the beginning of the thread indicate this should not stop you from flashing.

You can try to flash with the MTK USB driver though I never heard people of being able to get it to work with this driver (I couldn't get it to either)

Hi - are you talking about S3_X626.rar? I guess too many people were getting the file directly from the link I provided in the instruction instead of going through all the advertising hoop, so either the author of the Tickernel site may have decided to change the URL to stop this practice, or Mediafire has a way of randomizing the link URL every few weeks. Well to each his own...

I have amended my original instruction to address this issue.

I don't have the S3_X626.rar file anymore but you can still go to the tickernel website at http://tickernel.org/how-to-unbrick-le-x626-red-light/ and do the ad clicking thing. I know it's a pain as you have to click the link 7-8 times and each times all these annoying ads pop up. However, I checked the tickernel site just now and it still lets you download once you do the link clicks so it's definitely still a viable method of getting the flash file. Just don't install anything the pop up windows asks you to install (like Adobe flash)!

Thank You for your reply . Tick kernel is working Properly . I have downloaded the flash files 4 times . But I am getting a error while flashing . Posting here the screen shots.Can you help me in this regard..........

Thanks......
