ZTE Grand S V988

Hi to all :)

This is my first post and I would like to regard all.

So, about this post:

I just bought a ZTE Grand S v988 from China.

If someone also has this phone I wants to share some thoughts is would be nice :)

My opinion: seems like a nice phone, medium to high quality construction, very nice screen (at AnTuTu it says 480 dpi and around 15000 score with low bat =).

The problems: first of all Google apps, most of Google apps do NOT work in this phone (I don't know if it's because China or not being rooted) only Chinese apps work. Managed to install google play sore and other google apps through ZTE apps app, but even so, they don't allow to sign in with a google account, or just open and closes very fast, or, like with google+, it simply do not install it.

Other thing is the battery, ok I know it is only an 1785 mA in a snapdragon s4 with 5'' screen but it only last (with normal use during work day) a morning and maybe all afternoon.

Until know I was trying to root this phone (android 4.1.2 updated last 18/06/2013 though ZTE upgrade tool), but until now no success. Also was trying to find any international (outside China) rom/firmware to see if it would solve the problem with google apps but also unitl now only found 1 rom (that was the same I have in the phone)

So if someone could help me with this problem, I would thank :)

Or if I can help in any thing about this phone, be my guest.

Cheers all from Portugal :)

new rom v790

Howdy all i have a ZTE v790

android 2.3.6

baseband P752D01B01

Kernel 2.6.38.6-pref+

zte-kernel@zdroid-smt

build uni_cn_v790 3.6

just wondering if i can get jellybean on this thing or at least root it. i'm having no luck finding any custom roms and it almost roots with SuperOneClickv2.3.3 but gets stuck on #7 which i'm pretty sure is where the device actually cooperates.

-cheers.

ZTE Grand S V988

One thing that at "android recovery mode" or something like that (factory recovery mode) I have the option of "install update/upgrade from ADB".. but don't know what I can do with this option... all other options with phone and debugging mode, or in factory recovery mode to install any superuser.zip or any other .zip always fails...

in many sites that I've searched for how to root and/or install google apps (play store) in this phone was the guys from etotalk.com, but they say that they will not do any root or install any google apps because I should have ordered from them and they root and install the google apps before shipment...

If anyone have any idea how to root this phone and install google apps, and want to share, please be my guest. I would kindly appreciate.

Chheers all

incase anybody else with a v790 is reading this. your phone is aka KIS III / KIS PLUS.

Remote Activate USB Debugging?

Hello all. I have a ZTE Avid that I am locked out of. I don't remember the pattern or my Gmail linked to the phone. I will be okay if I can get my files off of the phone but USB debugging is not enabled. Is there anyway to remote activate USB debugging? I am running stock rom and recovery. Is there any way to flash CWM without access to the phone to use the Terminal Emulator? Is there anywhere that I can find the update-binary for this device? It is crucial that the data on the phone remain intact. Thank you in advance!

I have zte blade 3 band battery life is soo bad..only 4h on data..is that normal or my bat is fckd up?

easy batrery saver is on intelligent mod ,brightnes on lowest.
[Blade General] kevinrus123:
When you got CWM , you can choose the option: "Wipe Battery Stats"

When you take it , it wipes the battery stats and you have to reboot.

Then turn it off and let it charging to 100%.

Then plug it off and now your battery life should be fully normally.
[Blade General] MGuedes:
Mate, do you know anything about sim unlock?
[Blade General] kevinrus123:
Yes , what do you need? :D
[Blade General] MGuedes:
Wow, nice! I need to unlock my phone, do you know how can I do it? ZTE Skate Acqua
[Blade General] kevinrus123:
This all are unlocked stock roms.

Click here to get to them.

Just choose an language , you can change language after flash in settings :)

When you want roms , you can use roms made for ZTE Blade III.

That are both ZTE atlas40 devices so you can flash roms or mods for Blade III without problems.

This is a very good rom for Acqua: Click here to get it.
[Blade General] MGuedes:
Amazing, thank you so much! I'm from Portugal, should I choose the Portuguese version, or is there any advantages to choosing any of the others?
[Blade General] kevinrus123:
Yes choose the Portuguese Version :D

If you want Cyanogenmod 10 Jelly Bean , check the link :)
[Blade General] MGuedes:
I think I'll go with the stock by now, and will try the CM10 soon. Is there any tutorial on flashing? Sorry to bother you with such noob questions.
[Blade General] kevinrus123:
These aren't noob questions. It is better to ask then to get a bricked device.

You have to place the stockrom.zip to your sdcard and rename it to "update.zip" (without " ")

The stockrom.zip is the portugiese stock rom you have downloaded from the link i gave you.

Then enter recovery and wipe everything.

Then choose update from sdcard and choose the update.zip

Let it install and after that just reboot :)
[Blade General] MGuedes:
So, no CWM required?
[Blade General] kevinrus123:
Only for stock rom you don't need CWM.

For custom roms like Cyanogenmod you need CWM.
[Blade General] MGuedes:
Okay, thanks. One last thing: I don't need to download the recovery file on that link, right? That would be only for other roms?
[Blade General] kevinrus123:
I wanted to say this too but i forgot :D

No , you don't need the recovery.img from there...

The recovery.img from there is only the stock recovery.

Take only the ROM :)
[Blade General] MGuedes:
Great, thank you so much! I'll go and take care of my new phone now ehehe :p
[Blade General] kevinrus123:
You are welcome. Like it to help other people :fingers-crossed:

Edit: Reply to me when you sucessfully got the stock rom flashed :D
[Blade General] MGuedes:
It's giving me a Signature verification failure. Any idea on what's wrong?
[Blade General] kevinrus123:
in the recovery there is toogle signature verification ... press it one time to disable it and reflash the rom.
[Blade General] MGuedes:
What recovery? How do I do that? I didn't find it.
[Blade General] kevinrus123:
In the stock recovery there is toogle signature verification.
[Blade General] MGuedes:
I don't think so.. :confused:
[Blade General] kevinrus123:
I think this option is in the recovery from the site where you got the unlocked rom... could you fastboot that recovery?
[Blade General] MGuedes:
How is that done?
[Blade General] kevinrus123:
Turn your phone usb debugging enabled.

Then go in ADB and type in:

adb devices

fastboot flash recovery.img
[Blade General] M@c|-|oR:
You forgot "adb reboot bootloader" in between, mate!

:)
[Blade General] kevinrus123:
Oh yeah ... thanks to say that :)
[Blade General] MGuedes:
Hey guys!

Once again, thanks, but I can't seem to make it work. I installed ABD, and the commands "adb devices" and "adb reboot bootloader" work fine, the device is detected and reboots into bootloader (the green android shows up on the screen). The thing is, when I enter the last command (fastboot flash recovery.img), cmd is stuck "Waiting for Device", and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

Bricked ZTE T83 (Telstra DAVE)

Hi Everyone,

I've somehow bricked my ZTE T83.

The only mode I can boot into is DFU (POWER, VOL + and VOL -). It's a black screen with a solid red led. It appears as "Handset Diagnostic Interface(DFU) on COM10.

I've scoured these forums (and Google) trying all sorts of things to at least get me into Recovery.

Anyone got any tips or tricks to try? The battery can't be removed on these wee beasties.

I'm hoping someone can dump their stock ROM for me and somehow I can use DFU to flash it?

Help!

Cheers, Jason

Nova 3.5 bricked, any help welcomed

Hi,

I have a ZTE nova 3.5 (also called Etisalat Smartphone, from the Egyptian market) and since a week it's bricked. I can access the recovery mod, even use CWM but it totally refuses to start, I am stuck on the Etisalat logo. I wipped the datas, the cache, tried to restore to factory but nothing works, still stucked. Can someone provide me with the stock gingerbread rom (2.3.6) or with a CWM backup of the original rom, so that I can try to restore it?

Thanks a lot for any help.
[Blade General] kevinrus123:
Be happy that you get in recovery either :)

You must ask anyone with the phone to make a CWM Recovery , since there is no Custom Rom avalible.
[Blade General] ybregeon:
I am happ to reach the recovery mod of course, and I came on this forum precisely to ask for a CWM backup, I hope anyone will be able to help me or to give me a link to download one, I don't want a custom rom, i just need the stock rom or a backup. Thanks for your answer.

ZTE awe

Hi , I have a ZTE awe (n800) and am trying to get kernel source from here: http://support.zte.com.cn/support/news/NewsDetail.aspx?newsId=1004302

The problem is when I try to unzip, tons of errors. Renaming it doesn't help. I am on debian Linux so maybe that is the issue (I doubt it Linux is beast). Anyways if someone could successfully unzip and upload the files that would be great. Also if you happen to have the partition map that would be cool. My attempts at trying to convince the ZTE customer support that simply downloading source doesn't void the warranty was quite the debacle. Thanks guys

I've just bought a grand x pro. Out of the box the touch screen didn't work. As sending it back to the crappy online store will take a couple of weeks I got impatient, thought it might be a software issue and attempted to re-flash stock as shown in team maveriks post. Now I'm stuck on cwm with cyanogen mod with the touchscreen still not working. I've tracked down stock recovery image. Does anyone have stock ROM image or zip or similar so I can return it with warranty intact. If theres another way of returning to stock please let me know!

often windows rejects the fastboot drivers for automatic installation... youll have to go in the device manager and manually force it

a rather questionable story... but ftm mode has adb, it may not mount system but from there you can get to fastboot and do a boot or flash of cwm

[Blade General] Junkie2100:
if there is a cwm for it, which it must be specifically for that model, even one model number off and youre done for, it probably isnt a stock recovery flashable...

if you have a flashable, try translating the word update and maybe sd and or card from english to chinese and match it up. should be one of the top 3 tho, first should be reboot, second and third are usually install from sd and install from cache if i remember right

ZTE Blade V Unlock

Hello all,

I have probably visited every single links on first few pages of google search on how to unlock ZTE Blade V. Its a all around good device and one that doesn't break your wallet. Im not looking to have custom rom on it or anything like that. Its on virgin at the moment and i need to use it on O2 hence need it unlocked and I am trying to find another means to unlock it as Virgin are asking me £20 to unlock it and another 14 days wait to recieve the code.

I guess there hasn't been an unlock for it considering the phone was only released back in September 2013 in the UK and its only sold by virgin mobile as far as im aware.

IF anyone has got any information it would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
