Hi, I am creating this thread for anyone who purchases the Ampe A85q Quad Core.
I got mine from FocalPrice Singapore for £70 (inc a £5 discount) just over a week ago and it runs great, at times so I am now looking at improving it, where possible and with the blessing of XDA here, I will post as much info as I can and hopefully do a few things to it, to make it better. I have already found some information out that I will share but having never replaced an existing Rom and such, I am hoping some help is available to guide where necessary.
Today my daughter bought it to me, it had locked up and crashed in an ON state. After a long-hold power, it switched off and switched back on as normal. I then factory reset it and then changed the language and disabled Google PinYin.
Confusingly, the Ampe website (szampe.com) shows the tablet labelled as a A8003QD but another googled site shows it listed as both. Having checked the makers site and specs I see it must be the same tablet. As this tablet is quite new, there are very few results for it.

Szampe is now offering a A8003QD Ampe Firmware Update, direct link :
2013/7/24 - http://www.szampe.com/UploadFile/file/2011-08/0335.rar (525MB) #Note I am yet to try this and will add any eventual outcome to this thread.
The download just finished. The rar file contains
FOLDER : A8003QD 爱魅 改乐投风格、4K不支持4个窗口播放的软件20130427 (translated = A8003QD love charm happy to vote to change style, 4K does not support 4 Window Play Software 20130427)

------ and contains >>>> PhoenixSuitPacket.msi
Having converted and translated the above .doc file I see some instructions on what to do, however some of the instructions appear to be missing. I need to get this done better so it can be followed properly.
Problems :
Rom language - The tablet came with English setup already. A factory reset changes this back to Chinese.
Keyboard is set to English UK.
Google PinYin can and is now disabled
Some of the features are still in Chinese and I cannot see a way to change them.
Some lag on boot up lasting for a while but appears to stop until put in sleep mode which starts again for a while.
As mentioned above a freeze/crash and black screen then remained after the sleep mode kicked in. Had to long-hold power to turn it off, when I switched it back on, it seems back to normal. I suspect this was caused by some app or other one of my kids installed.
Hopefully I can get this update done and see if things are better and if not, consider a rom replacement. #reboot required now as the windows installer is playing up as I cancelled the first pheonix installer to look for any newer and english version. Back later today.
Edit :
Managed to get through the firmware update and am now going to check it out to see if anything has improved. I think it may be best to give this a couple of days of letting the kids do their thing as well as my own. Of course I will update this again.
update : So after a few hours letting the kids do stuff and having a bit of a play myself, this firmware update really has improved the tablets running qualities. For example, the usage immediately after boot / browsing / gaming / pattern and face recognition unlock all seem to run flawlessly now. The face rec unlock used to sometimes not even load and go str8 to pattern, 30% of the time it wouldn't recognise me and was laggy to happen in most cases. This now runs rapid, loads every time and I think due to lighting and moving around the room, only failed to recognise me, once out of around 10 tries. I tried a game or two with the kids and found reactions were spot on every time, to screen touches. The kids felt it was running nicely now too.
Again, if I find anything contrary to this, i will add another update below.

At the moment, the tablet doesn't seem to be bloated with much un-needed software although I could probably look deeper and find some. Hwoever this is the part that is something I would love to know how to get rid of or change and is making me think about custom roms, if you look at the image above.

I'm looking at various launchers at this moment. I'm toying with the idea for now.
The build number even though dated last week on the offiicial site for this tablet, is
fiber_8003-eng 4.1.1 MASTER 20130427 test-keys as shown in the img filename
I'm a little confused as to what has happened here. I checked the img file modified date on my pc and it indeed says it was last modified in April. Whatever has happened, the tablet is running much better, noticed by myself and the kids, so far.
thanks.
Maybe before you have an old firmware.
I try to install on mine but impossible , i don't remember message.
here is my rom original http://www.szsanei.com/support_down.asp?id=1056
if you want to try.
a85

I am now still running the 24/July rom I found (see post one) and it seems better but not perfect. It seems like a need for TRIM as regards the problems with lag and crashing (trim or not, I am unsure of crashing part) when I reboot the tablet most problems are solved.
I do think we could do with a better rom, to be honest. I have not tried the roms mentioned by others on this thread.
Name: N83 quad-core version of the firmware

Hi. Since I last posted, my tablet seems to have nose dived into regurgitated mdoe. I can factory restore it using the Pheonix tool and a rom and it works but then WIFI refuses to enable and not long after changnig the language and disabling pinyin, it simply reboots and stays at the chinese boot up screen. I'm now trying the rom quoted above as it might solve the problem but I think there may be a hardware issue. When I do manage to get it worknig, it states 1GB of memory instead of what it should be, 8GB - tax
I am a little worried now as I have heard returning this tablet to where I purchased it, can be a pointless nightmare which is an awful thought as I have just ordered a dual core for my daughter and that has already had shipping issues that are making it an extra week late already.
I contacted them but either they are ignorant or just plain stupid.
Just got one of these - Few Problems
Hi all, Just got one of these tabs for my little boy but have a few problems.
1: Wifi is extremely poor, I have a N600 router and everything wifi can use it but this tab can only connect if i am in the room
as the router, then its painfully slow.
2: Does this have bluetooth, Downloaded a hardware tester and it says no bluetooth.
Currently running this
Current rom: fiber_8003-eng 4.1.1 MASTER 20130427
Kernel Version: 3.3.0 [email protected]
Firmware Version: 2.0
Android Version: 4.1.1
Model: A85 Q
I have found a newer rom: fiber_8003-eng 4.1.1 MASTER 20130429, anyone tried it, any improvements on the wifi.

Can someone who has already flashed new firmware please give me clear instruction on how to do it as I don't understand the Chinese instruction in the manual and the program is also in Chinese so cant tell what I am pressing.

AMPE internal storage =0 and can't flash rom
I have a AMPE A85Q quad core android tablet running 4.1.1 os. Recently, I rooted the tablet using Z4Root despite warnings from my anti-virus AVG saying that Z4Root is a Malware. (I have used Z4Root before on another tablet before without problem). After confirming that I have temporarily rooted the tablet, I thought I return the tablet back to the original state by unrooting the tablet. Everything works fine until I shutdown and restarted the tablet the next day. The tablet factory resetted itself and I lost all my downloaded applications. I tried to download applications again, and it just hung. I then noticed the internal storage is zero. I factory reset it again via the tablet Settings, but the internal storage remains as 0.
So I started this journey get my tablet to the original state, after 2 days of research and experimentation on that subject matter, I have made some discoveries. There are many android users out there having this problem, ie, Internal storage is 0.
The solution provided by many experience users, appears to be quite simple, just copy /system/xbin/busybox to /system/bin.
As I could not access / directory, so from my PC, I downloaded Root_Explorer_v2.17.2.apk into my extsd card, and using my tablet File Manager to installed it. All went well. I then discovered my tablet does not have busybox installed. I thought perhaps, I can find a busybox.apk, I can install it via the extsd card. No luck, there is no a such apk.
I decided at this point, I must flash my ROM. On the website, they recommend backing all the data and apps before flashing, but I have already lost everything, and I can't install any new applications, so I can go ahead and flash the rom.
Since I'm doing this for the first time, I read many articles on the web. And, yes, there were users out there who had successfully fixed the problem by flashing the Rom.
My tablet rom version is fiber_8003-eng 4.1.1master 20130517 test-keys .
I found this rar from the AMPE home site.
szampe.com/UploadFile/file/2011-08/0335.rar (525MB)
(Chinese characters quoted from user codQuore posting)
The rar file contains

At the same site, I also found the latest ROM 0381.rar (497.07MB) which has the same release date as my ROM. The rar file contains two folders:
FOLDER : A85?|?? contains aimei_anpei8003_a31s_v2.0_4.1.1_20130517.img (789.09 MB0
and FOLDER : -A31??? (As above the ?s represents chinese characters) contains PhoenixSuitPacket-V1_0003Beta.rar and ????A31???.doc (110.5kb)
PhoenixSuitPacket-V1_0003Beta.rar contains PhoenixSuitPacket.msi (12.33mb)
Why they have a rar file within another rar file, I do not logically understand. Maybe that's the reason, I can't get this part to work. I cannot understand the chinese instructions in the doc file.
If they know the recovery process requires a zip file, you would think it would be sensible to upload zip file rather than rar file. Anyway, I unzipped the files from 0381.rar using RootExplorer and copy the img, doc and msi files into a folder called 1dir. I then zipped the 1dir as 1dir.zip. I have to re-zip the files so that the recovery program can find the zip file.
In the tablet Settings>>Backup & reset>>Recovery Mode, I pressed Reboot into the system in Recovery Mode. Using the volume down key moved to highlighted “apply update from external storage” and select 1dir.zip from extsd.
...On my tablet screen display:

And it jumps back to
reboot system now
Installations aborted. Hmm. Since I am only flashing for the first time, maybe I did not do something correctly.
. I tried removing the doc file and only zipped the img and msi file.
. Tried the earlier version 0355.rar. Same result.
. Tried wiping the cache partition first before flashing. Same result – installation aborted.
. Tried zipping aimei_anpei8003_a31s_v2.0_4.1.1_20130517.img with RootExplorer. Same result.
HELP,Please.

Eureka! Fixed.
OK. Before I forget, I better document the fix. The vendor website actually has the img and the tools to flash the rom. Not understanding Chinese user's guide is my problem. Also pictures in the in the instruction shows the use of Livesuit tool instead of PhoenixSuit; this let me needlessly looking for Live Suit software to work with A31. After unzipping the 0381.rar file, there is a img file and a Window installabled msi file, PhoenixSuitPacket.msi. I copied the img and msi files to a directory in my Windows7 PC, and installed PhoenixSuit V1.003Beta. The installation is the tricky bit, because my Windows Installer does not display Chinese Characters. I was desperate enough to click on what I guessed is the "NEXT" button during the installation process. I could read that all installed files were placed in the /program(x86)/Allwinnertech folder. Once installation complete, in the folder there is a pdf file which tells you in Chinese and in pictures, how to use PhoenixSuit to flash the rom. I started PhoenixSuit. There are enough English words and pictures to understand what to do.
I powered up the tablet before connecting the tablet to the PC. The tablet immediately displayed the USB port is connected, and I chose to enable data transfer to storage. At this point, PhoenixSuit also wake up to display the version of firmware, even partially disfunctional, on the tablet. All very positive signs. I proceeded to flash the rom using my img file located in the PC using PhoenixSuit. It took less than 4 minutes, and successfully flashed the rom.
I have rechecked the Internal Storage and it is now displaying 0.99GB instead of 0. Also, Busybox reappears in /system/bin. All good.
Hope this little adventure helps someone out there.
When I'm game enough, I'll tried to re-create the problem. Was it during the rooting process using Z4Root that the problem appears? I will update again when ....
Hello every 1.
I need information any kind now.
I'm stuck and walking in circles.
My device isn't best wit support but it's the 1st one I'm trying to repair and spend too much time to leave it unfinished
My device: Huawei G740-L00 (not youmo)
My problem:
I'w updated from B176(NEEU) to B178(WEU)
I remember I used force upgrade, didn't know about regions
(because few months ago I had no idea what is ROM, nor recovery, ??bootloader?wtf is boot?? ) -total-noob-
Result:
Sure-->GSM, LTE, WCDMA - LOST. Wi-fi & gps - OK.
Standard upgrades dload/update.app - fails
B178 (NEEU) version doesn't exist
Impossible downgrade, stock device
I can only upgrade the same update.app B178(WEU) & ofc it doesn't change anything.
extra: (still not sure what to do with this info)
-DCunlocker: shows version B165. maybe it was my stock ROM and I did upgrades B165>B1xx>B178, else B165>B178
& my original S/N
-Phone shows B178 & wrong S/N
So that is done:
-Rooted
-Unlocked Bootloader(DC-unlocker was best solution after all huawey supports)
-Flashed CWM recovery
Solutions in progress:
1. Easiest would be to get update.zip with original firmware. Install via cwm and then upgrade via sdcard to version for my region(NEEU).
///Didn't find any, so skipped after few days.
2.Extract firmware region. I need: update.app-->Use something like: split_uppdata(or HuaweiUpdateExtractor-if it's not for MTK?? My device Qualcom based )to get .iso files and try luck to flash with ADB etc. (if possible)
/somehow it doesn't look like good idea, I think there r many missing files after extracting and i have no idea what exactly I need. So:
2.1.Use Ext4imgUnpacker on .iso files extracted-> to validate ?somehow? what files r missing in boot,system,cust,recovery etc...
--------Here I stopped----------
///It seemed something wrong at all, even if I can check what files r missing and if I really need it, I can't repack (?solutions?)
3.Flash something like radio.iso(modem) from original firmware I need. Does it have to do something with RIL files?
I was digging deeper & deeper & surfing all the web about anything what can help me & I found samsung guide how to create .iso using odin
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777579
then searching something like that on my device I found shortcuts:
---->/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name
modem (?maybe CDMA MODEM)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
modemst1 (?maybe LTE_MODEM)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p10
modemst2 (?maybe LTE_MODEM2)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p11
Maybe it would be enough 4 me?
BUT I have:
+Terminal
+Cygwin
-Huawei doesn't have Odin.
-------Here I stopped again-------
I really need to find people with my device. But I think any advanced android user can help me. Most of old users of G740 doesn't seem like to use it anymore. 4 me it's my 1st android repair. I must repair it, because like I said 2 months ago I didn't know what is ROM, and spent too much time researching this all.
Any info might help:good:
Note: None of these files have been tested mainly because I want to keep root on my device. If someone (preferably a recognized developer) can confirm that you can still root the device on this update, I will edit the thread to appear safe to novice/semi-inexperienced users. Because I haven't tested these files, I'm gonna assume its a January security patch.
Here I have pulled the latest FOTA update for the SM-T337A. I know right, I thought this device would never get another update, but it did! Down below I have uploaded the original, untouched .CFG update file and my own compiled .ZIP update file. Not that any of them are different, but if one fails to flash, there's the other file to try.
New PDA Version: T337AUCU2BOH5
New CSC Version: T337AATT2BOH5
Bootloader Version: Bootloader V2 (So you can downgrade back to the BOH4 firmware)
Please feel free to ask any questions or report any problems down below.
EDIT: I will begin creating Odin packages for this update and release them in place of the zip files if/when they are completed.
--Download Links--
Original .CFG File: https://mega.nz/#!r940XJLB!OUne16ltPYkOqfNBbzA5W08f8LwvYT_os--agbGzFq4

Cheers!
Thank you very much as always @KingOfTheNet , is there any chance you can make an Odin firmware file too, or would that require you taking the update (which I understand very much why you wouldn't want to, without knowing for sure)?
Also I shall mirror the update.zip file on AFH if you'd like (it doesn't accept cfg files)

I'm 99% sure it's just a January security patch, so I'm not sure if it would be worth making an Odin file for it. If AT&T where to release a Marshmallow or Nougat update (which we all know isn't gonna happen) then I would make one for that. Making the Odin file for the Lollipop firmware took me like 4 months
Also feel free to mirror the file(s) to AFH, please be sure to credit me though, assuming they flash without issues. I didn't test it on mine because I want to keep root until I can verify that it can still be achieved on this new update. I'm just surprised AT&T is still updating this thing.
Cheers!
Do you have patch notes, what was fixed?
Thanks.

I would imagine AT&T or Samsung would release them somewhere on their website. In my opinion, security updates are made to keep your device guarded against new root methods and viruses, which is exactly why I didn't flash the update myself, to keep root.
Hello
I've a Leagoo T5 wich use his own Nougat modifiied. TERRIFIC !!!
I'm looking for another ROM wich supporting all feature (also double rear camera and fingerprint reader) because it's impossible to use it.

You can use "MTK Extractor" to extract system.img and other files, you can then modify them, and flash them using "SP Flash".
I recently uploaded a clean stock ROM (LEAGOO_T5_OS2.1_E_20180116) to Mediafire and Needrom.
I've also uploaded a carepack if you are interested in the new ROM, or even for a custom.
The command for fast boot is: fastboot oem unlock

Do you mind sharing please? I'd love to get a working custom rom on this device.
I still can't add links yet, so you will have to Google search: "MTK Extractor". Download it, and then download the latest official ROM, which I have uploaded to Needrom and Mediafire, Google search: "OS2.1_E_20180116".
Extract the "system.img" file from the stock ROM using MTK Extractor, you can then go ahead and make your customization's. System apks are signed and locked, however they can be replaced.
When you have finished, you can use MTK Extractor to create a new system.img file with all of your modifications (including root, if you add it). The size for system.img is 4096mb.
The MTK Extractor tool uses a slider bar and text input for the partition size, the slider is limited, however enter 4096 into the text box (don't delete the text, it bugs).
Enter fastboot (Power + Volume up), third option, then using ADB with command prompt, type the command: "fastboot oem unlock", and then accept.
Now you have unlocked the phone, you can run your custom ROM. In a factory locked state, ROM's will install, but not run.
I forgot to mention my Needrom pack contains MTK Extractor. If you can make roms, there are 3 stock bugs that I would ask you to fix.
1: If the navigation bar is hidden, there is a window transition blip (bottom of the screen) if you swipe to recent apps.
2: If you select the first (bottom left) icon from the lock screen (voice, usually), you get a grey background.
3: Bluetooth scanning sometimes bugs (MAC instead of name), once paired there are no issues.*
* This may be due to my headset, but I remember my TV also displaying a MAC once.
Also, can you align or remove the 4G icon that shows even with data turned off.
Ok... So far this thread seems to be the only one on xda-dev about leagoo T5, which i just buy.
By the way thanks Ferather for pushing the rom on need rom.

Need help
Hi, could you please share the Mediafire link?
Since the last rom update (LEAGOO_T5_OS2.1_E_20180822 aka OS2.1_E_20181025) I post on needrom a moded rooted boot with magisk.
i have this leagoo t5 running this newest e_20181025 but im getting a problem with my front facing camera only displaying like an upsidedown image of the rear camera. please advise on what i can do to fix this
Maybe inconsistence between differents partitions (like boot and system)
If you know what you are doing I will advise reflashing all principal partitions.
But i don't think the phone came like this when new, so someone must have messed something.

LEAGOO_T5_OS2.1_E_20181025.zip -- Original Leagoo T5 ROM
LEAGOO_T5_OS2.1_C_20181025.zip -- Custom Leagoo T5 ROM
No issues, other than the one I have mentioned, which is just an app default.
Enjoy!
hey cool rom bro.
Thank for sharing.
No problem, I thought I would start the ball rolling for customization of the rom, since adding ringtones does not work with the stock rom (media storage app issue I think).
You can permanently edit the rom yourself, which I found very easy. If you want to add apps, simply install them from sdcard or store, then navigate to "/data/app", you will find your installed app or update, with odex files and libs, if any.
I created a temp folder on "/data" called "Working" and copied everything into it, and then setup the correct permissions, and renames, and transferred to either "/system/app" or "/system/priv-app", depending on the app.
A better way to do it, is to use "Lubuntu" from live USB or DVD, and then mount the image and edit it as root: "sudo *file explorer*", in this case "sudo pcmanfm-qt", then create a folder in "/mnt" called "ROM".
Next copy "system.img" to "/tmp", and mount it "sudo mount /tmp/system.img /mnt/ROM", now you can do whatever you like, but make sure to "chown" and "chmod" all your modifications.
Make sure you delete anything you will replace when you transfer, else you might get old unused files (folder merged and non-replaced items remain).
----
If you make edits on the phone using an app, and want to make your own "system.img", use the readback option in "SP Flash Tool".
physical_start_addr: 0xe000000
partition_size: 0x100000000
----
Note: Most non-stock apps *do not* support the triple (3x) camera setup, and will either use the wrong camera or crash.
Yeah I encounter problems too to add custom ringtone and wallpaper but i manage to get over it by changing some files permissions
By the way I am "456456" on needrom, the boot img with magisk is from me
I know the time needed to make a custom rom and I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one trying to mess with this not-bad-at-all cheap phone
There is a possibility of an Oreo port, there is a Leagoo T8s with the the same chip that runs Oreo 8.1.0. I have checked over the rom and it looks possible (based on my basic knowledge).
Cygwin + Cmder, for Android. I made the pack myself, and thought it might help others using Windows who want various Linux tools.
I added Cmder for better console support and easy admin: ---- http://www.mediafire.com/folder/lzsf7xd2wwsm4/Commander
Quick update, will now self configure "/home", added ADB and Fastboot.

Hi, Running your ROM with no other mods, it's certainly better than original. Just curiousis there anyone working on an Oreo based ROM ?. ... J
Thanks, I did not manage to get the Oreo from the T8 to function, due to hardware changes.

please tell me how you can fix the inverted touchscreen Leegoo T5
Few days ago as expected, official users (who is using CN-EN official ROMs) of Le Pro 3 AI (further mentioned "x7") got an OTA update to the latest release of EUI 6.0.030S.
The miracle that expected was not appeared. It is still based on Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow).
The ROM is still not localized for other countries, it contains only CN and EN languages.
And there still many bloatware of LeEco services that is very annoyance.
But first of all, the apps inside are now more optimized and as I see, they starting and function faster then previously.
Ok, let's go to the main part - links =)
The Official Site where you can download the ROM based on OTA update scheme is HERE. Also you can download a copy of OTA package from HERE.
But if you want to download faster, you can use my clouds where I'm continuously holding the most of Official ROMs for x7.
---> MEGA (follow into the folder called "original_stock")
---> FEX
Inside my clouds you can find that the ROM filenames contains not only a version but also an appropriate suffix (_OTA or _FASTBOOT). It's used to separate the ROMs by the installation method.
The FASTBOOT prepared ROMs contains an installation scripts (.BAT for Windows and .SH for Linux/Mac) for not only full installation (with clearing of User Storage), but also for update (without clearing of User Storage).
Please be careful, don't even try to install via FASTBOOT without clearing of User Storage, if you currently have functioning non Official multilingual EUI like 5.9.027S (faked as 028S in menu "About phone") or other non official!!! If you'll do this you will get many conflicts in settings and apps.
I expect that the FASTBOOT updating instructions are widely known, but remind them once more:
1) Enable the "Developer options" menu by clicking on "Build number" 7 times in the "About phone"
2) In the "Developer options" menu, turn on "OEM unlocking" and "USB debugging"
3) Connect the phone to the computer with a USB cable
4) Run one of the installation scripts from the folder of the unpacked firmware
5) Immediately upon startup, allow on the phone screen the "USB debugging" permission for your computer, preferably within the checkbox "always trust this device"
6) Wait until the installation process finishes (15-20 mins), calmly referring to the fact that the phone itself will reboot into FASTBOOT mode, and also please ignore the Sparse format error message (it's normal)
7) The phone itself will reboot into a new OS ... the first launch will be very long
Please feel free to ask anything here about the installation process, cloud links etc.
But be ready that I'm not fast answering.
Any other questions including the comparison of EUI versions performance and functionality will be ignored by me.
We still have the device that is highly secured with unknown protection mechanism and that gets us unable to build any quality custom ROM. =|
thank you
I should have researched before buying the device kk was already "lost" trying to find a customized rom for him. this part of the text: "We still have the device that is highly secured with unknown protection mechanism and that gets us unable to build any quality custom ROM. =| " , clarified me a lot

ROM does not have Google applications. You need install it. I think this still working in this version: https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/leeco-le-pro3-a1-model-x651-guides-development--and-mods/automated-installer-gapps-morelocale2-t3752576
Ok installed the 30s mod version from https. ://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=895159&st= 2020#entry77308634
and it includes gapps.
You can install another launcher to get rid of ads.
There is no root for this rom, right?

030S mod is based on APKs of 030S with few modifications... but it also runs the old Boot from version 027S... so it may have some unexpected behavior...
yes, all of these ROMs have no root... but with mods based on Boot of 027S version you can use a temporary root (one time booting into TWRP) for further system modifications and then back to boot with native stock kernel and modified system will run good (expect the problems with apps you may cause by modifications)
hi, how i can install this ROM if I use a non official Rom? I mean, I recived this phone yesterday with a 028s (stable) that is non official, and I want to install this official ROM.

What you can't see? The scripts?
You need to look at the contains of unpacked ROM zip that have suffix "FASTBOOT" in filename. There must be files with names like "x7_fastboot_tool.bat" and "x7_fastboot_tool_noUser.bat" and also same files with ".sh" extensions for Linux.
For installation to start you need to run one of this scripts. To run from CLI (CMD), not by double-clicking on it.
what's the score in antutu in new rom ? I have 50000....
dilnix,
I've downloaded the FULL_X7_X7-CN-FN-KGXCNFN6003009091S-6.0.030S.zip which don,t have the fastboot tools.
Do you have instructions to install this?
Big thank you!

This is an OTA package. But it's buggy, my try to make a direct update from 028S to this 030S with OTA way was failed, and I heart many reviews about same behavior.
So I think the best way to update is to use Fastboot with scripts and executable provided in my package that contains "_FASTBOOT" suffix in filename.
From there you can use script "x7_fastboot_tool_noUser.bat" (or .sh option in Linux) to make update to 030S (only from clean stock 025S, 026S or 028S, not from fake 027S or any mod) without clearing of Userdata Storage.
Or you can use script "x7_fastboot_tool.bat" (or .sh option in Linux) to make a new installation of 030S with clearing of Userdata Storage (from any other previous ROM).
If you can't download by my links provided in topic, please write here and I'll try to solve this.

My x650 shows 87000 in antutu on 030S. I can't know what is reason you having less.
Currently my Le pro 3 ai is on non official 5.9.27s I have to downgrade it to 5.9.25s.what should I do. Further I want to update my device to eui 6.0.30s. Any help is highly appreciated .
I think that is 027s custom rom better than this 028s. I recommend you to not change anything.

As an example of this way how to move into stock 028S with flashing first 025S and then just update to 028S (or 030S if you want) I prepared a video half of year ago. HERE
I understand that not all processes there are perfect... for example I used ADB to push ROM instead of MTP that is much faster =)
But if you have experience and you sure in other option of processing the steps explained in this video - enjoy and good luck.
Hope it will help somebody.
P.S.: Now I have some trouble with focus (can't focus larger then 120 cm) in stock Camera on EUI 030S and have a plan to get 028S back just for testing of Camera and focus processing.
P.S.2.: If you will have desire to get back into custom 027S you had earlier, you always can make it. It's available on both forums (XDA & 4pda). But you need to know, that changing of using between clean stock and custom ROMs is always requires you to clean a Userspace too.
Thanks for your reply . But I want to ask is there is risk of getting brick if anything goes wrong.
