Can someone help me in flashing clockworkmod recovery on my cricket zte sonata (z740)? I followed all of the steps on this page http://androidforums.com/threads/zt...s-kernel-source-and-other.828110/#post6437794

but the phone just turns off and never turns back on. To turn the phone back on I have to remove the battery then it will come back on. I tried with the phone on and with the phone in FTM mode but they both have the same results.

Also does anyone know how to network unlock a Cricket ZTE Sonata 4G (z740)?

I have a ZTE Prestige phone that I've tried to root and had no luck, if anyone can help me or point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it greatly.

ZTE Sonata 4G Encryption Unsuccessful

I'm at work and I look down and see a screen that says "Encryption unsuccessful" along with a couple of paragraphs basically saying the phone can't access the data (if anyone needs the complete verbiage, let me know). I didn't try to encrypt phone so no idea where this came from. Stock phone, no hacks or anything. The only option is to reset to factory. When I select that, I get a screen with a number of options. They are:

1. reboot system now (takes me back to encryption unsuccessful screen)

2. apply update from ADB (Now send the package you want to apply...) - no idea what this is. Had to pull battery to reboot.

3. wipe data/factory reset (takes me back to encryption unsuccessful screen)

4. wipe cache partition (takes me back to encryption unsuccessful screen)

5. apply update from external storage (I have no update to apply. more on this later)

6. apply update from cache (unable to find an update)

7. md5 check (does some stuff, reboot to encryption unsuccessful screen)

The phone is a ZTE Sonata 4G with Android version 4.1.2.

One saving grace is that I was able to get a hold of another exact same phone. I do have an SD card, so is there some way to download an update to it and load it on the dead phone (or any other way to fix it). Thanks
[Blade General] GuyInDogSuit:
Is there any way to successfully root the ZTE Quest (N817)? These are being distributed by Assurance Wireless.
[Blade General] minipower50:
I have not found a way to root the phone using software. I did open the phone and found there is a flat flex cable with jtag connections. It's seems to be really cool that ZTE provided a connector to the flat flex cable so someone can easily attach a jtag to the phone.

I'm starting to read up on how to transfer the needed root files through the jtag.
[Blade General] GuyInDogSuit:
Damn, that's not something I'm entirely familiar with doing. Hope a software-side method turns up soon.

[Blade General] GuyInDogSuit:

[Blade General] minipower50:
I kinda gave up on using a jtag on the phone...

But I was tweaking in the internet forums and came across a post of someone using a one-click root program in FTM mode.

So I downloaded a few diff ones and was able to complete rooting the ZTE Quest N817 using Kingo ROOT.

I was able to install and complete a titanium backup. I am also able to open root folders with total commander. That's all the testing I have done

Not sure if having to use Kingo ROOT's own superuser program is a bad thing or not.
[Blade General] GuyInDogSuit:
What's FTM mode?
[Blade General] minipower50:
Yes.. I know more then someone else lol

Power off the phone and then hold vol+ and power. A white screen with black lettering will pop up, saying FTM.

Also in case you didn't know... holding vol- and power will open recovery and holding vol+ and vol- while pressing power will open another kind of programming mode (I do not know what it is or what it does) The only way to exit this programming mode it to pull out the battery.
[Blade General] GuyInDogSuit:
Cool. So I just boot into FTM and root from there somehow?

EDIT: Yeah, didn't work for me. Said "Success," but I don't have root access. Tried it again, and it repeatedly fails now.
[Blade General] minipower50:
I don't understand why it isn't working for you. I made sure I did not download and install the Android security update that was sent out the last month or so ago. Still haven't installed it.

Try to run the Kingo root application with the phone turned on normally. Then watch the phone and app as it does it's thing. When the phone gets automatically rebooted. Hold down the Vol+ button. That will make the phone boot into FTM mode. That may allow the app the write privileges it needs to finish the root process.

Damn wish I paid more attention to what I was exactly doing -- when I done it... Damn you ADHD You did it too me again

In case it made a difference. I know I tried 2 other one-click root programs before I succeeded in getting root . Just the regular normal booted phone way and then deleting the bloatware the apps install. Also tried running both apps from FTM mode and the bootloader mode ""Blank Black Screen from holding Vol- and Vol+ while holding power button"" -- called the PC version of iroot v 1.8.8 and the PC version of eroot

I got the idea to try these from this xda post http://xdaforums.com/general/help/zte-n817-root-t3443935 YEEESS!!!! I can finally post links

To make sure, you downloaded and installed the pc version of Kingo Root from kingoapp.com (not Kingroot).

Edit to add: Maybe also try running the Kingo Root app from the normally booted Homescreen and hold the Vol- to go into recovery mode -- when the phone gets automatically rebooted.

But I member when it finally rooted successfully, I ended up being in FTM mode. When I rebooted the phone. Kingo Roots Superuser popped up and asked me if I wanted to allow permission.

One of these ways will allow Kingo Root the write privileges it needs to finish the root process.

Edit again: Now I member you can skip and not have to worry about Bootloader mode (holding Vol- Vol+ Power) Because the Kingo Root program cannot see the phone while it's in this mode
[Blade General] GuyInDogSuit:
That didn't work, either.
[Blade General] minipower50:
Did you try wearing a cat suit skin instead, while you did it?

I wish I could figure it out. I got Adaway to install with no prob.

[Blade General] GuyInDogSuit:
I tried all of the methods on that thread you linked, none worked.
[Blade General] minipower50:
You didn't clarify if you installed the google security patch that was sent out about a month or 2 ago
[Blade General] GuyInDogSuit:
No one else did, either, so I don't see how that matters.
[Blade General] minipower50:
Just wanted to make sure so I could check off that box
[Blade General] GuyInDogSuit:
It is possible that's the issue. Though it's not clear if that's the case. I hope not. I really want to root this damn thing.
[Blade General] minipower50:
I cannot say if allowing the update would not let the phone root or not.

I'm getting annoyed at the stupid nag ( Device Google Security Patch - tap to learn more and install )message about the update.

I think I read that updates are stored in the phones file system Cache folder. I have already backed up that folder. I wonder if I can stop the nag message if I some how delete the pending update.

Using Total Commander.. I see a file named update.zip that's 14.6MB

I have finally been able to uninstall the bloatware google programs that was installed on the phone as system programs
[Blade General] Kelanu:
ZTE quest custom ROM

I found this phone for a few dollars and wanted to just mess around with it.

I managed to root it after trying several methods; the one that worked for me was Kingo root.

I eventually want to install slimkat, but from what I understand I need to unlock the bootloader first and I'm not sure how to do this. Can someone help me please?

Also if someone could direct me to a list of compatible ROMs that would be splendid!

Thanks,

Kelanu
[Blade General] GuyInDogSuit:
Yeah, there's no way to unlock it as of yet. So we can't flash a custom recovery, either, so we're stuck with this crappy, slow, outdated ROM.
[Blade General] minipower50:
I'm working on building a recovery for the Quest n817. I have some posts out there asking if I have edited the phones extract-files.sh I got from the CM11 build tree. http://xdaforums.com/chef-central/android/edits-to-build-custom-recovery-t3523465

Are you guys sure we will not be able to flash a different recovery without unlocking the bootloader first ¿

I don't remember reading that from what I have read about all this android updating. Of course it could be I'm just not remembering that requirement, right know.. I just recently read that some custom built ROMs can be installed without root and can be flashed in stock recovery if they are based on a stock kernel for the device. Of course that does not mention anything about locked bootloader.
[Blade General] GuyInDogSuit:
Depends on the device. It'll be looking for a signature, which a custom ROM doesn't normally have.

EE Jay (ZTE E8QP) Problem: Softbrick but acting as hardbrick

Before you shout at me for it not being described as a ZTE model, the model number is ZTE E8QP which I would assume this has been manufactured as a ZTE.

Now, the EE Jay was alright with rooting (Via KingoRoot) and it was successful. After mooching around on the internet (and these forums on XDA) I had a device where there was almost NOTHING on it. I looked and looked but to no avail. Now, I tried to unlock the bootloader, in which I thought I had done. Tried to flash a ROM on it (it wasn't the correct ROM, but it was the closest I could fine) and now its soft bricked.

The problem is that it wont even go into recovery mode properly (It gives me the option but I tries to boot normally). I'm stuck on what to do

If anyone has any knowledge on this and knows how to fix it then it would be much appreciated. I am currently clueless on what to do and how to solve it
[Blade General] minipower50:
It seems you model uses MediaTek/MTK chipset MT8735M . I see there are a number of posts and websites that explain ways to unbrick MediaTek/MTK devices.
[Blade General] sam_roxta:
Need zte z832 cricket sonata3 firmware plz
[Blade General] minipower50:
Out of curiosity. Does the phone have a factory reset in the recovery ¿

My N817 has this option, and it will erase the phone and reset it back to the factory shipped state. It use's an update.zip that is stored in the cache partition. It's the same .mdn files that you would use for QPST in the phones Emergency Download Mode

This link talks about the partitions that are needed to create the files to fix a phone using QPST with the Emergency Download Mode

1. Have the QPST 2.7.366 or higher version installed.

2. Make a local folder, copy sbl1/sbl2/sbl3/rpm/tz images to this folder.

3. copy the emmcswdownload.exe from C:\Program Files\Qualcomm\QPST\bin to this folder.

4. Prepare the partition_boot.xml as below and copy the partition_boot.xml to the same folder as above.

https://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/how-to-generate-8660msimage-mbn-t3185341

So if your phone's recovery don't have the "reset to factory option" . You can use someone else's partitions to repair your phone. Of course -- if needed -- making changes to account for and make sure you don't flash your phone with their esn/meid and what not..

hi, i'm looking for some help, i managed to brick my zte blade v7 however i can't find a stock rom that is compatible with spft to reflash the device, could anybody help?

i can't do anything with the phone other than use spft however everything i've tried doesn't seem to work
[Blade General] minipower50:
I'm not familiar with the Blade, but my Quest has a factory reset in recovery. It uses a Update.zip that is stored in the cache partition.

Doesn't your device use a Qualcomm cpu¿ That might be the reason why your having problems trying to find what you need.

From what I've found out. Qualcomm uses Qualcomm Flash Image Loader (QFIL). It can be found in the QPST /bin install directory, or you can download it separately from the internet
[Blade General] kaylin.martin:
thanks for the reply but it uses a mediatek cpu and i can't access the recovery menu
[Blade General] minipower50:
kaylin.martin

Can you use SPFT to backup the files on the phones MMC, so you can get the files that you are missing in the ROMs you have found¿
[Blade General] kaylin.martin:
unfortunatly not, i think my best bet would be to find somebody with the blade v7 and ask them to backup with spft and post it to mega or something, but it's just finding somebody with the phone that's gonna be the difficult part
[Blade General] minipower50:
I found some firmware for the ZTE Blade V7 and ZTE Blade V7 lite. Looks like they use slightly different cpu's, the lite uses the Mediatek MT6735P and the V7 uses Mediatek MT6753.

The V7 is the UK's firmware, 1 of the lite firmware is from Turkey and the other is Malaysia

and of course the replies in this thread, but none helped, the main problem is the phone's internal storage, too small, and of course the fact that it got upgraded to ICS but our very generous Etisilat have ZERO after sale services, and didn't release any update, bugfix or anything at all :D

so I was asking if I can just replace the regular nova 3.5 rom instead of etisalat's and root the device to move some programs to free internal storage !?

oh forgot to say that they lied abt both the ram and internal storage sizes :D

[Q] ZTE Blade II P735T - which ROM should I flash?

Hello guys,

sorry to bother you with this, maybe a little bit noobish question, but I´m trying to solve, which ROM shouldn´t brick my brand new phone and I´m a little bit confused, because even here and on Modaco there is not a specific thread for this phone model. On modaco there is one called San Francisco II or Crescent, but I´m really not sure whether to use that ROMs or not, bcs there is P736 model mentioned.

So I´ve decided to ask you guys here on XDA to make those things clear for me, the only thing I don´t want to experiment with custom ROMs is that I´m aware of bricking my phone installing wrong one.

My Phone is ZTE Blade II (known like this in my country), P735TB01, build GB_EUR_P735TV1.0.0B01. The phone is rooted, Clockworkmod installed, the main rooted rom is backed up. If someone needs the stock ROM backup, it´s not a problem to provide it.

I´d like also to ask you to provide some links to ROMs and advices which roms are best.

Thanks a lot, guys,

regards, John

---------- Post added at 12:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:58 AM ----------

Hey man, I´ve got the rooted stock rom backed up. Can give it to you if you´d still like to.

Just kidding dude. :D

Anyway, I was a little quick posting in the other thread as you well know. I respect that you want to keep the Blade-board clean and all, but I have a small suggestion:

Wouldn't it be better if each and everyone of the devices you mentioned in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34022803 got their own threads, since they are all totally different from each other, just like they are different from the original blade?

A Blade 3 user, for instance, will probably not get any useful info about his device from guys with Skates, Blade 2s and vice versa.

The absolutely best solution, the way I see it, would be a ZTE-board with sub-boards or at least threads for every different device. I know this is up to the moderators, but what's your opinion people?

re: v889m root and rom

1,Have you tried Bin4ry method for getting root? It works for many droid phones. (You can find it with searching "root many android" or "Bin4ry")

2, If it does not work, the second chance is the CWM+root.zip. (I created a CWM for v889m)

3, You can root this phone with the help of MTKDroidtools, I am sure.

The order I wrote is the way from simplest to more complicated.

Let's try the first one, and see how it works.
