DESCRIPTION
LeTV X500/1S – Original ROM from LeTV – 5.5.008S
- Android 5.0.2
- Build: 5.5.008S
- Only English & Chinese language
- Not rooted & no gapps (but follow my guide further down to get both!)
If you have the LeTV X500/1S with an unoriginal ROM (from one of the shops who install a modified ROM with multilanguage) but want the original ROM from LeTV follow these steps:
1. Enable USB debugging on the phone.
2. Download the file from here called "S1_x500-CN-OP-DBXCNOP5500811172S-5.5.008S.zip". Rename it to "update" (with the extention it is named "update.zip") and copy the file to the root of the phone.
3. Shutdown the phone.
4. Hold volume up and the power button together, as soon you see the LeTV bootlogo, let both go again, and it should boot into the stock recovery.
5. Now check Clear Data so both Update system and Clear data are checked – and then press the Start button
6. Now it will start flashing, now just wait for 10 minutes, and it should boot up and you have a clean new original LeTV system – done!
Now let's install TWRP so we can get ROOT and also install the GAPPS:
(You can also install Gapps via the "Google Installer APK" here http://www76.zippyshare.com/v/DqMeYkMQ/file.html – IMPORTANT: follow the videoguide here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8ZidFOzl-k but with that it will not be permanent, so if you factory reset the phone, the Gapps will be gone, and you need to use the Google Installer again to reinstall the Gapps. If you use the method for TWRP it will be permanent and stay!)
1. Enable USB debugging on the phone.
2. Be sure to have installed ADB drivers, you can install http://pdanet.co/a/ for that (this is important to have a working ADB or it will not work!)
3. Download TWRP_ROOT.rar from in here. Unpack the rar file on the PC to C:TWRP_ROOT
4. Connect phone with the PC, copy the "X500-ROOT.zip" file (found in TWRP_ROOT.rar) into the root of the phone and also copy the ui.zip to the phone and place it in Phone storage/TWRP/theme/ui.zip (this will make the TWRP recovery english when you enter it, else it will be displayed in all chinese)
Copy also "open_gapps-arm64-5.0-nano-20151114.zip" to the root of the phone and "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip"
5. Still connected, run the recover.bat on the PC inside the TWRP_ROOT directory
(If there comes a popup on the phones screen just set allow always USB debugging on the phone)
- A commandpromt screen also appears on the PC
- Press Enter there will be a black screen on the phone with a tiny text on bottom left saying fastboot.
- Enter 2 in command prompt and then press Enter
- On the phone there will be a black screen with tiny texts in the middle.
- Press Enter again and the phone will reboot in TWRP recovery mode that should be displayed in english
6. If you want to ROOT the phone (you can also skip this if you want) then choose in TWRP the Install button and flash the file in root (sdcard) called "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip" reboot and the phone will be rooted.
7. If you want to flash Gapps/Play Store then choose in TWRP the Install button and flash the file in root (sdcard) called "open_gapps-arm64-5.0-nano-20151114.zip" and reboot
8. Done!
9. IF you should experience battery drain because of a WiFi BUG, you can also via TWRP try to flash the file called "x500_wifi_fix_flashWithTWRP.zip"
If you want to remove TWRP recovery, and flash the stock recovery:
Then go into the C:TWRP_ROOT folder and there you find recovery.img and TWRPrecovery.img – where the recovery.img is the original one. Just swap these 2 files, and run the recover.bat again from step 5. And it will flash the original back on the phone! /Guide by s7yler
If you want the X500 ROM with multilanguage and an app drawer then download the:
"Letv_X500_multilanguage_rom(but_no_OTA).rar" but the bad thing is that this ROM doesnt support any OTA, and it may also be missing some few features, like the IR blaster and QR scanner app is not included. So I recommend to use the official LeTV ROM instead.
You can also try BB72's multilanguage/pre-rooted ROM on Grossoshop's page – for instructions on how to install – just translate the page to english (all credits for the ROM goes to BB72). They also have an easy installer for TWRP.

S7yler, is this ROM appropriate for the 16GB version?
anybody ?
Can anyone please give the link for the indian version of EUI for Le 1s?
Hi. Thanks for all the hard work on this. The first part worked great. I have updated from 007 to 008. But I have a problem.
When I run the recover.bat to Install TWRP, the command prompt comes up but everything is in either ASCii or chinese or both. I can tell that in the middle of the text it says "USB". Pressing a button brings up the same message everytime the phone does not change state or respond. The only thing thats different is that in my device manager it has a warning for "PDA.net Broadband adapter". But I have followed all the rest of the steps.
Please help.
Sorry, my mistake. Your instructions work perfectly. I just realised what happened, after the update, I needed to re enable the USB debugging. All good now I hope. Thanks again.
Hey, i finished the installed and rooted the phone, but it seems like i wife wifi issues. sometimes the wifi just dont work even when it shows connected to wifi. i have to press the wifi everytime to get it works again, but than its off again. help me please
Hey bro. This worked for me. It took me a while because I kept skipping steps *since I thought I was all techy and didn't really need to follow your steps*… but after a while I realized I should've just read your instructions carefully and did it per the guide.
My phone has been flashed now, and it's working as intended! Thanks a lot bro!
Ive not rooted the phone or done anything with it yet,i need help i cant open messages on the stock message app,will rooting the phone solve this or can i sort it out with downloading a messaging app from Google play?
Thanks for any help

Hopefully
Thanks again and hope you the best luck
Hello all…i installed a custom rom (dont remember the name) and since it was buggy as hell I wanted to reinstall the stock rom…unfortunately I cannot do it same way as I did the other (via SP_flashTool) because it keeps saying scatter file is invalid. And if I try using the update.zip file through recovery I get errors (err. image not found) and stuff like that and it still doesnt install and now the custom rom is broken and I cant access the phone…how can I restore the stock rom? any help?
Hi s7yler, nice informative review. I was wondering if you could help me test/fix issue with incoming calls on my Letv X500. I am on stock 009S and while on 4G(LTE) outgoing call setup takes around 15sec (Phones takes 12 sec to switch to 3G, no VoLTE) but I cannot receive any incoming call at all, I have tried like 100 times with other numbers but my phone never switches to 3G to receive the call.
Can you please provide any suggestion, Is it the same with all X500's or Mediatek phones generally?
