Does rooting LE2 x526 affect the camera quality?
Also I heard IR Blaster would stop working if rooted… Please confirm?
No!
It doesn’t work, no need trying again. adb devices not found. after following all the instructions to install on windows 10, I’m sure it will work on earlier windows
you have to choose developer options > revoke usb debugging
then on command prompt, type adb kill-server then enter
then adb start-server then enter
after that wait for a prompt to allow usb debugging. then it will read your device
Use ALL IN ONE tool to go with TWRP. Nothing else doesn’t work for me.
I did all the steps and when restarting the phone I asked for a password that is not mine
Le account password?
After unbricking my X526 my product device name is empty. And after flashing TWRP it’s stuck on splash screen of twrp. Then it goes to normal boot after a while…any way to resolve ? Possible to flash it to ‘s2_india’ device product name ?
