• You have an S3 X626 make sure it is the X626 model by checking that the phone looks like the one in the-phone.jpg (the color can be different)

• The phone does not visibly respond to any button presses

• You have a Windows PC

1. Download the original firmware

2. Download the unbricking tools

3. Unpack and install the drivers from MediaTek_Preloader_USB_VCOM_Drivers_Setup_Signed.zip

Note: you might notice that the files say X620 instead of X626, but these are, in fact, the right files

1. Unpack SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1628_X620.zip into any folder

2. Unpack LeEco_x620_SP_Rom.androidbrick.7z into any folder

3. Run SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1628_X620\flash_tool.exe and wait for it to open

4. Press <Ctrl + Alt + s>. New fields should appear

5. Input the right files into the fields (select by pressing the folder icon to the right of it):

• Download agent: SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1628_X620\secureboot\DA_BL_HIGH.bin

9. Unplug the phone from the PC (do noting if it wasn't plugged in before that)

10. Press the "Download" button

11. Plug the phone back in

12. Wait for the flashing to start (it may take a few minutes)

13. If you get "BROM ERROR: STATUS_COM_PORT_OPEN_FAIL (0x3F5)"

• Unplug the phone

• Hold "power" and "volume -" buttons

• Plug the phone back in

• Try again from step 10 (while holding the "volume -" button)

1. You should still be in SP Flash Tool

2. Press <Ctrl + Alt + v>

3. In the menu bar select "Window" > "Write Memory"

4. Input the right files into the fields:

• File Path (select by pressing the folder icon to the right of it): LeEco_x620_SP_Rom.androidbrick\boot-verified.img

• Begin address (HEX): "0xf900000"

• Region: "EMMC_USER" (default)

5. Press "Write memory"

6. If the process doesn't start

• Unplug the phone

• Hold "volume +" button

• Plug the phone back in (holding the "volume +" button)

• Begin address (HEX): "0x8000"

• Region: "EMMC_USER" (default)

8. After that the phone should successfully boot, but with the screen orientation reversed

1. Hold down the power button until the phone powers off

2. Hold down the "volume +" button

3. Hold down the "power" button (without releasing "volume +")

4. The phone should now enter fastboot mode (in the middle of the screen there should be three grey gears)

5. If unsuccessfull, repeat from step 1

1. Unpack LeX626_Fastboot_5.9.023S.rar into any folder

2. Press <Shift + Right Click> in the folder where you unpacked LeX626_Fastboot_5.9.023S.rar (that folder should contain fastboot.exe)

3. Select "Open command prompt here"

4. If it is not available

• Select "Open PowerShell here"

• Type "cmd" and press <Enter>

5. Plug the phone into the computer

6. Run fastboot oem unlock

9. Run fastboot reboot

10. Enjoy your unbricked LeEco Le S3 X626
