Did you actually install the abd driver from the adb driver folder?

did it install properly?

If not you may need to disable digital driver signing first

Allyall

Does anyone have the GizChina code that was going around yesterday, for the weekend?
I can't find it..

this seems to be the driver everyone uses.

As wiz says, if its windows 8/10 turn off driver signature checking.

Also have a look in device manager and see what it says when you have your phone plugged in.

it can be tricky the first time, you'll fly it after this.

Ran that and says driver already installed. I've followed the instructions to turn off driver sig previous, not sure how I know how it's worked. Should I try the recovery.bat again?

RossieMan

you're running these as administrator yes? just to be sure they're installing, sometimes can be a problem.

You can try it again if you wish, a screenshot of your device manager with your phone pulled in might help us determine if its being registered or not.

How about uninstalling previous drivers and trying this again ?

Liverpool1981

Ran as admin, phone got stuck in fastboot so had to restart it.

Drivers seems defintely up to date, sorry what do you mean by phone pulled in?

Liverpool1981

After right clicking recovery.bat and going into fastboot my phone comes to this.

RossieMan

When you say it got stuck in fastboot mode, its suppose to automatically reboot if you've installed everything correctly. Does it reboot to fastboot mode itself or do you have to manually hold down the buttons?

Liverpool1981

It reboots in fastboot but then just restarts back to normal. I have to hold down but to get recovery mode.

wiz569

I don't think that's fastboot mode tbh have you tried pressing Volume down and power button at the same time while booting up

If thats a built in recovery mode instead you could try this

Finally, after week of searching on internet and trying everything, I did it! I did it via ADB, I connected phone while it was in recovery, ADB recognized it, I type "adb reboot bootloader" and phone start with fastboot mode!

Liverpool1981

I've been using vol up and power. I'll try the vol down

Liverpool1981

Tried Vol down and power, doesn't do anything unfortunately. I think i'll give it a rest tonight, been at it since early afternoon..drained! Thanks for all the posts guys, much appreciated... I swear i'm not an idiot

I'm definitely getting a new phone after Christmas, I'll be getting the LeTv x500, solid phone, but I'm still waiting for a review on gizchina, I hope the camera is better or on par with the letv le 1 x600 camera which is the older one, and I'm looking for good audio too. Will cost me from 180-240, does dhl take care of customs duty/tax and do customs tax gift package sealed phones with dhl?

Try the iRoot method.

Turns out the link was giving a false warning because it was a direct link from youtube.
The video owner should have linked to the site and let people download it themselves.
I just copied and pasted from the youtube description.

Well if you get the other screen when you use volume up and power then try the other part of my post above regarding adb tools

Tried the one root option with iroot,Kingo root and few other obscure ones... failed on every single one! Phone is fort knox. Has anyone on this thread ever rooted an Letv phone?

RossieMan

None will work if the drivers on your PC aren't installed correctly. It makes no difference, you could try all the software inb the world! Uninstall the driver and try again.

Will I completely uninstall adb aswell as its drivers? I did, scan says can't find drivers automatically. Tried drivres you sent me and says incompatible with win8 x64.

EDIT: Done shift + restart and f7... drivers installed fine. I'll start trying installing manually and one rot way...see what happens.
