to run ONLY under Linux OS x64
Updated post! All further improvements and corrections will be published here.
Linux Script Version 0.1.8 | Developed by: @dilnix in assistance of @master_lie
The Google Apps version of 06/15/2018
Linux dependencies: android-tools
Windows version you can find on 4pda or in the following post of this thread<-- WINDOWS VERSION
Temporary the Windows version placed HERE
Installs and removes a sample Google Apps package, as well as MoreLocale2, with all necessary permissions to these applications.
And also, it allows to partially remove and freeze most unnecessary Chinese programs.
Remember, it will not return your already uninstalled apps!
DOWNLOAD: FEX || MEGA
For start:
0) Have a USB-connected smartphone, with an already-enabled and authorized USB debug running on the stock EUI without installed GApps and MoreLocale2.
1) Unpack the archive anywhere and go to the appeared folder "ML2-GApps-Debloat".
2a) Open the terminal (console) from this folder and run the script file:
Code:
./ML2-GApps-Debloat-Linux.sh
OR...
2b) Simply "Run the file in the terminal window (console)" from the context menu of the file manager by right clicking on the mentioned file.
After the launch, you will get into a simple text menu with a choice of further installation steps.
After installing any of the Google Apps options your smartphone will be rebooted!
All applications are installed by the script in the User Space, and they are not afraid of a typical system update.
Menu options:
1) Check_ADB
2) Install_only_ML2 (Install only MoreLocale2)
3) Install_ML2+CoreGApps (Install MoreLocale2 and Core Google Apps)
4) Install_ML2+CoreGApps+ExtraGApps (Install MoreLocale2 and Basic Google Apps and Additional Google Apps)
5) Install_only_CoreGApps (Install only Basic Google Apps)
6) Install_only_ExtraGApps (Install only Additional Google Apps)
7) Install_CoreGApps+ExtraGApps (Install only Basic Google Apps and Additional Google Apps)

Language of informing by script: English.
Inspired by: 4pda community
It is possible to update the script in the future for EUI with Root system access, and to add more functionality.
With today update of v0.1.6 we did:
- options to remove GApps and MoreLocale2 options
- all code optimized and re-visioned
Please enjoy!
With today update of v0.1.7 we added:
- option to remove few Chinese bloatware applications
- options to hide most of LeEco apllications and services
Please enjoy!
Also I prepared a Video manual of:
- installing EUI 5.9.025S via Fastboot
- updating to EUI 5.9.028S via OTA
- removing and hiding most of useless applications with using a tool of topic
- installing GApps with using a tool of topic
Hope you will like it.

It is true that leeco has sent the source code of the x650 to a 4pda developer?.

No, it's not true. Nobody from 4PDA mentioned about that. If somebody got source code and keeping silent it's not good and shame on them but it's all I know.
I have success to install 5.9.025s china roms then use ML2 debloat apps. It works well and i have hide the launcher just like the tutorial. And then, when im playing games. I realize that the super manager (phone manager) has gone. Could you put back the phone manager please or dont include it in the option. Because with phone manager, the phone can enter the high performance mode so the game will not laggy. Im really disappointed because the super manager has gone. Please help.
Hello there,
so this is my first time I am actually posting a guide ( sort of…this is more like a story of my journey)
*Hope that i followed all the rules regards posting here
I got to this point because of a virus that affects the MTK chipsets.
I am using the Lava IRIS 88s (for work purposes) and that thing got a nice little virus, which is exploiting MTK-SU - the user diplomatic stumbled upon this ( thread is here: LINK ).
Read more about the Virus:
XDA Post about the rootkit which the Virus uses: https://www.xda-developers.com/mediatek-su-rootkit-exploit/
The virus could not be gotten rid of even with a normal Factory reset. It just returned as if nothing ever happened, under different names.
Antiviruses didn’t pick it up always, believe me I tried basically all of them. The most information from the antiviruses gave me actually Dr.Web Antivirus – which lead me to suspect the Typany Keyboard and Lava Touchpal.
So since I had flashed custom ROM’s before, I wanted to do that to this phone.
As a lazy guy, I started searching for already made custom ROM’s which surprisingly was hard for IRIS 88s.
After a while of digging I found some Stock and custom firmware, but they required to get passwords to extract them. After asking for the passwords and since I am an impatient guy also – I started digging around how to make my own custom rom. Adb, Kitchen, Fastboot, MTKtools, SP Flashtool, WWR and much more that I tried and researched.
So here is thanks to the people whose shared knowledge led me to this point.
diplomatic– MTK-SU, Temporary root
demkantor– Fastboot
Jrummy – root browser
topjohnwu – Magisk, Magisk Manager app
Team Vanced - awsome work!
And a very very large thanks to:
Hovatek- I got a lot of useful information and guides from their videos. Very special thanks!!
So here it goes:
I recommend watching these 2 videos by Hovatek:
1. How to use wwr v2.51 + SP flash tool to backup Mediatek rom
2. How To Use SP Flash Tool (Full Guide)
What I had:
1. Windows 10 x64
2. 2x MTK Phone: Lava Iris 88s (MT6739 chipset) - 2018 was mine and 2019 was my friends.
3. Spare time and a really annoying virus as motivation
How I did things:
1. Watched a lot of videos and read through too many guides.
2. A lot of trial and error with a lot of programs until I got to stay with the below.
3. Downloaded the latest version of SP Flash tool
4. Downloaded Wwr_MTK tool
5. Downloaded and installed Notepad++
6. Downloaded and installed Auto Mediatek USB VCOM Drivers
7. Created a backup of my friend’s phone (same model but 2019 software)
8. Played around a lot until I got the ROM I wanted.
So my recommendation would be to do the same .
But if you are lazy like me then just download and extract the files and just flash them.
2018 STOCK ROM: Lava_iris_88s_2_16_S207_WOC_18F08
2019 STOCK ROM: Lava_iris_88s_2_16_S215_WOC_19F24
CLEANED & ROOTED ( Chrome browser): Lava_iris_88s_2_16_S215_WOC_19F24

MODIFIED & ROOTED ( Chrome browser + Maps GO, Gmail GO): Lava_iris_88s_2_16_S215_WOC_19F24

BOOT.IMG ( ROOT - Magisk patch v20.4.7)
BOOT.IMG ( NON-ROOT)
*If you want ROOT or NO-ROOT - just change the boot.img for the one you want (and install Magisk Manager App to manage root).
Password for the files: Alrighty
Also download additionally the latest versions of: SP Flash Tool, Notepad++, Wwr_MTK tool , Auto Mediatek USB VCOM Drivers
The procedure:
1. Open SP Flash tool and select the scatter file from the extracted ROM folder.
2. Set it to FIRMWARE UPGRADE and make sure all boxes are ticked.
3. Click Download and connect your phone (Be sure to have at least 50% battery and the phone is switched OFF before connecting !!)
4. Wait for it to finish.
5. Now boot your phone into Recovery - Volume UP + Power, then select Recovery, then Hold down Power button and push Volume up – a new screen will load.
6. Clear Cache and then Wipe/Factory reset.
7. Select Reboot
8. Have fun
Changes made in the ROM:
1. Removed Bloatware (a lot of apps I didn’t need like: LavaCare, Typany Keyboard, Touchpal, Aries/Launcher3, Google Play Movies/Music, …)
2. Added apps I thought I would need or want – POCO Launcher, WhatsApp, Youtube Vanced ( With Manager and MicroG), Gboard ( Google keyboard), Brave browser ( It blocks Ad’s very well) / Chrome browser ( if you want that instead).
All of this has been my experience and what I can share with you.
But be warned, I am not responsible if this bricks your phone or does what ever it is not supposed to do. I took the risk as well like you are about to do - just that my little experiment worked for me .
Regards,
Ryuuske01
* Currently using the GoAPPS version on my 2018 and my friends 2019 model.
So far so good - phones seem to be more responsive than previously
PS: if this worked for you as well, do hit the Thanks button so that others can also see.
PPS: Even with this ROM it is still susceptible to MTK-SU, need a newer Security patch which is after March 2020, But Lava doesn’t care to update it. Even the 2018 Model always said it’s Up to date with 5th May 2018 patch while the 2019 model has 5th May 2019 patch. They don’t really want to push updates it seems.
As for troubleshooting I can not really share much insight currently.
Here is what i know:
1. If you can not do a readback because the phone is not recognized:
Reboot PC
2. If it gets stuck in a bootloop or a black screen when trying to add Gmail account.
Flash the ROM again but instead of FIRMWARE UPGRADE choose DOWNLOAD ONLY.
Clear Cache, Wipe data/Factory reset.
* Still stuck in a bootloop? Try again FIRMWARE UPGRADE ( I did brick it twice and changing those got it back running).
3. If the flasing has an issue at the end?
Flash the clean rom for your version and then the modified one but unselect the USER DATA.
PS: I flashed those roms more than 4 times each on either 2018 and 2019 model.
Currently using the 2019 based Go Apps version on my 2018 phone.
Thanks
tried "2019 STOCK ROM" method and it saved my friend's work mobile!
thanks

BOOT.IMG ( ROOT - Magisk patch v20.4.7)
BOOT.IMG ( NON-ROOT)
*If you want ROOT or NO-ROOT - just change the boot.img for the one you want (and install Magisk Manager App to manage root).
Password for the files: Alrighty
Also download additionally the latest versions of: SP Flash Tool, Notepad++, Wwr_MTK tool , Auto Mediatek USB VCOM Drivers
The procedure:
1. Open SP Flash tool and select the scatter file from the extracted ROM folder.
2. Set it to FIRMWARE UPGRADE and make sure all boxes are ticked.
3. Click Download and connect your phone (Be sure to have at least 50% battery and the phone is switched OFF before connecting !!)
4. Wait for it to finish.
5. Now boot your phone into Recovery - Volume UP + Power, then select Recovery, then Hold down Power button and push Volume up – a new screen will load.
6. Clear Cache and then Wipe/Factory reset.
7. Select Reboot
8. Have fun
Changes made in the ROM:
1. Removed Bloatware (a lot of apps I didn’t need like: LavaCare, Typany Keyboard, Touchpal, Aries/Launcher3, Google Play Movies/Music, …)
2. Added apps I thought I would need or want – POCO Launcher, WhatsApp, Youtube Vanced ( With Manager and MicroG), Gboard ( Google keyboard), Brave browser ( It blocks Ad’s very well) / Chrome browser ( if you want that instead).
All of this has been my experience and what I can share with you.
But be warned, I am not responsible if this bricks your phone or does what ever it is not supposed to do. I took the risk as well like you are about to do - just that my little experiment worked for me .

* Currently using the GoAPPS version on my 2018 and my friends 2019 model.
So far so good - phones seem to be more responsive than previously
PS: if this worked for you as well, do hit the Thanks button so that others can also see.
PPS: Even with this ROM it is still susceptible to MTK-SU, need a newer Security patch which is after March 2020, But Lava doesn’t care to update it. Even the 2018 Model always said it’s Up to date with 5th May 2018 patch while the 2019 model has 5th May 2019 patch. They don’t really want to push updates it seems.
As for troubleshooting I can not really share much insight currently.
Here is what i know:
1. If you can not do a readback because the phone is not recognized:
Reboot PC
2. If it gets stuck in a bootloop or a black screen when trying to add Gmail account.
Flash the ROM again but instead of FIRMWARE UPGRADE choose DOWNLOAD ONLY.
Clear Cache, Wipe data/Factory reset.
* Still stuck in a bootloop? Try again FIRMWARE UPGRADE ( I did brick it twice and changing those got it back running).
3. If the flasing has an issue at the end?
Flash the clean rom for your version and then the modified one but unselect the USER DATA.
PS: I flashed those roms more than 4 times each on either 2018 and 2019 model.
Currently using the 2019 based Go Apps version on my 2018 phone.

Hello there,
so this is my first time I am actually posting a guide ( sort of…this is more like a story of my journey)
*Hope that i followed all the rules regards posting here
I got to this point because of a virus that affects the MTK chipsets.
I am using the Lava IRIS 88s (for work purposes) and that thing got a nice little virus, which is exploiting MTK-SU - the user diplomatic stumbled upon this ( thread is here: LINK ).
Read more about the Virus:
XDA Post about the rootkit which the Virus uses: https://www.xda-developers.com/mediatek-su-rootkit-exploit/
The virus could not be gotten rid of even with a normal Factory reset. It just returned as if nothing ever happened, under different names.
Antiviruses didn’t pick it up always, believe me I tried basically all of them. The most information from the antiviruses gave me actually Dr.Web Antivirus – which lead me to suspect the Typany Keyboard and Lava Touchpal.
So since I had flashed custom ROM’s before, I wanted to do that to this phone.
As a lazy guy, I started searching for already made custom ROM’s which surprisingly was hard for IRIS 88s.
After a while of digging I found some Stock and custom firmware, but they required to get passwords to extract them. After asking for the passwords and since I am an impatient guy also – I started digging around how to make my own custom rom. Adb, Kitchen, Fastboot, MTKtools, SP Flashtool, WWR and much more that I tried and researched.
So here is thanks to the people whose shared knowledge led me to this point.
diplomatic– MTK-SU, Temporary root
demkantor– Fastboot
Jrummy – root browser
topjohnwu – Magisk, Magisk Manager app
Team Vanced - awsome work!
And a very very large thanks to:
Hovatek- I got a lot of useful information and guides from their videos. Very special thanks!!
So here it goes:
I recommend watching these 2 videos by Hovatek:
1. How to use wwr v2.51 + SP flash tool to backup Mediatek rom
2. How To Use SP Flash Tool (Full Guide)
What I had:
1. Windows 10 x64
2. 2x MTK Phone: Lava Iris 88s (MT6739 chipset) - 2018 was mine and 2019 was my friends.
3. Spare time and a really annoying virus as motivation
How I did things:
1. Watched a lot of videos and read through too many guides.
2. A lot of trial and error with a lot of programs until I got to stay with the below.
3. Downloaded the latest version of SP Flash tool
4. Downloaded Wwr_MTK tool
5. Downloaded and installed Notepad++
6. Downloaded and installed Auto Mediatek USB VCOM Drivers
7. Created a backup of my friend’s phone (same model but 2019 software)
8. Played around a lot until I got the ROM I wanted.
So my recommendation would be to do the same .
But if you are lazy like me then just download and extract the files and just flash them.

So, if i want to Flash this ROM. Which BOOT.img file should i choose?
BOOT.IMG ( ROOT - Magisk patch v20.4.7) or BOOT.IMG ( NON-ROOT)?
Depends if you need root or not.
But if youre asking this, then probably not needed and just use the non root.

Thank You.
Then i will use the Non Root File. I don't need the Root Permission on that phone.
After the software update, the wifi disappeared, then the software did not install via fastboot and now I am stuck on this screen, cannot install via fastboot at all.

Did you make sure fastboot was properly installed?

It is recommended that platform tools is extracted to the root directory (C:\) on Windows or the home folder (~/) on Mac / Linux. Replace PLATFORM_TOOLS_FOLDER with the full path below.
Adding platform tools to PATH (Windows courtesy of LifeHacker):

Click “View advanced system settings.”
Click the box that says “Environment Variables.”
Under “System variables” click on the variable named “Path”.
Click “Edit...”
(Windows 7,8): Add ;[PLATFORM_TOOLS_FOLDER] to the end of the “Variable value” box. Do not forget the semicolon.
(Windows 10): Click “New” and paste the folder path where you extracted the Platform Tools. Hit Enter and click OK.
Adding platform tools to PATH (Mac / Linux):

There is no such thing as a CSC ROM on this phone. Every carrier uses the same Asus firmware.
It is possible it is a hardware issue, but I also notice you have a history of attempting modifications that wipe the IMEI. If it is a hardware issue, contact Asus support and schedule a repair. If you wiped the IMEI attempting to modify the phone, you'll have to wait for the firehose file to be available to fix it.

Use EDL mode. That is supposed to always work, even on broken firmware.
If you do have the firehose file, you should probably post it in one of the multiple threads requesting it.
I don't have any ready edl stock rom, unfortunately, that's why I'm stuck in csc rom

Why is the thread tagged development for pictures of flashing the raw firmware?
because the crashed device was repaired via edl, so I made it that way...
How should I choose the title of the topic, maybe I chose the wrong one
