Le Pro 3 Elite (X722) Lineage OS

[mick_novi]

Hi All!

Is there a way to get lineage 14.x on le pro 3 Elite (X722)? I've been searching online, but all information seems to be related to X720 model, and there is basically nothing (or very little) regarding the X722... I was hoping to be able to root my device, Install lineage OS, and then un-root (due to using some corporate apps which don't allow devices to be rooted).
Please let me know in case you have some info. I will greatly appreciate your help!

Thanks!
Mick

Hey
As far as i know Leeco didn't released their open source code for x722 and that's why there is no custom roms. I'm a little bit confused because they shared their open source code for many models and i don't know why they didn't do that for x722 :C

tried booting this rom

I want to know did u tried this rom because the specs are similar except for nfc and slow processor on chinese version sd820 instead of sd821

I didn't tried any rom and at the moment i don't have this phone. I think different processor than in leeco x720/x727 make it useless to use the 720/727 rom for this device and can only lead to brick phone.

So why does TWRP for x720/x727 work flawlessly on x722?

Also lineage OS developer for lepro3 asked if anyone can give him log files from lineage boot on x722 then he can probably make it work. It seems the issue is not CPU (i guess it is same linux kernel and drivers anyway), but somehow changed boot sequence of the x722 then x720/x727, but i don't really understand this stuff.

thats why I dislike this company. They have placed very small batteries in their phones and removed headphone jacks and no sdcard slot. Plus they are not releasing sources of these China specific models.

huh, if he can guide me I will provide him with the logs that he needs. It would make this phone sooooooo much better if we could put lineage os on it.

I don't agree regarding the battery, but an sd slot I definitely miss... the phone itself is good, but it really sucks that we can't put lineage on it. I wish I did proper research before buying it, as I would probably go for a different one.

yea you are right . I saw x626 with 4/64gb on gearbeast for less than 140. But I cancelled the order because there is no ROM support. This model was not released outside of China so it has no google play store originally and no MTK model was made for market outside CN like the 1s thus flashing Indian/Russian or other international ROM is not a possibility.

did anyone update a lineage ROM on the Le Pro x722?

could anyone try and test the lineage at this page download.lineageos.org/zl1 and try it with the x722 and check if it all works good? or do you have any similar hint?

The problem is that the bootloader is locked and there is currently no root for the device... and as it seems like there will never be. one...
It would make this phone so much better if we had the chance to put lineage on it, as LeEco is going under (if not already), and there will be no future updates to the software, even though there are so many bugs... such as you can't change default browser, expand notifications, and so on....

yes, and the camera not auto-focusing when changing from a far to a closer focus or the contrary and you have to be tapping on the screen every time
so in the end maybe the lineage 14 for the x720 and x727 might work fine but the point is that the x722 has a locked door about bootloader and can't open and enter to work on it?

Yes, exactly. This lineage for x720 might work, but currently there is no way to install it.... I really hope that sometime in the future, installing lineage will be possible, that someone figures it out (fingers crossed it happens sometime soon)

If you have American single sim model then you have to unlock bootloader first then try. I heard most roms are compatible but I am not sure about NFC status.

Hi guys, can you provide any working TWRP and guide how to root my X722?
Thanks

I will also be able to help once my phone arrives. Wondering what firmware i'll get it with (from BangGood).

When I scanned xda I saw official lineage for x72x so i assumed it was supported - the title is a bit misleading. Probably wouldn't have ordered it if I read the whole thread.

That said, I'm in it for the long haul now, and might actually be a good opportunity for me to actually give something back to the xda community (besides $).

Too many wrong infos in this topic.

- Bootloader is locked ONLY in 026s stock rom and it CAN be unlocked by flashing 001d dev release.
- You DON'T flash x720 roms to x722 since you will easily get a nice brick.
- You DON'T flash stock 026s through TWRP (especially from geekbuying vendor 020s rom with twrp)
- x722 has root in tora33 custom rom - this is a fresh stuff so check that thoroughly

I used the tora33 no root custom in x722, but the fingerprint sensor stoped, so i put the Dev ROM again

Do you have a link for this ROM?
