I wonder about the installation process and see what it's look like. I wonder too about how to get back to android once installed...

But i will investigate too in the next couple of days...

Hi!

Please help me with a problem.

I bought a Zte geek V975, software version B06 and when I want to install the update for root , update.zip is not find to the bootloader menu, (update.zip is copied to sd card). Please tell me how I can solve this problem?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coroneta:
Well I have been researching and since from zte told me that to release the source code should request a network operator or stores.So I started to send emails to China unicom that is supposed to distribute our mobile there .... but I've been surprised to see that they don´t have in their catalog ... so what I think is that zte geek is only thinking for use with china unicom 3G broadband network.

What options are left for us now .... ask the Chinese shops where we are buying and they request to zte to publish the open source kernel ....

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlennRunciter:
Papagayo,

I ran into some problem with the kitkat dialer on my B06, Contacts wouldn't index in Google Gestures, so basically I had to redo everything.

What I successfully did was

1. download the gapps for 4.2.2 and extract them to an sdcard

2. download the B06 zip from xttp://www.ztedevice.com.cn/support/smart_phone/3370fd32-93ea-4806-9a20-cfbeed4446bc.html

3. download the rooter zip to an sdcard, you'll find it in one of my posts here and posts of other people. Make sure to rename that zip file to something other than update.zip, I use rooter.zip.

4. reinstall B06 using the ZTE app, and select "upgrade system on SD card", but make sure to tick OFF "Reserve userdata while updating the system". You will lose all your personal stuff at that point, but you'll get a clean install instead, which is what you want.

5. After the install, root your phone.

6. Then startup into android, we want it reverted back to Chinese, so switch language to your locale, and copy all APK files from the gapps to /system/app folder using the chinese rootexplorer. Choose the righthandside button if you're unsure about No/Yes choices in chinese. Don't configure anything on your phone - other than switching the locale.

After the copy, reboot. You'll see android "installing the apk's".

7. I can confirm you'll have a B06 with gapp's, without using Eric Xiangs tools. That tool wants to upgrade now, and I think the upgraded version does something "funny" to the install, maybe an exclusivity for MIUI now.

Also, installing B06 from the bootloader doesn't clear all settings, and I know about the dalvik cache and the factory reset etcetc. It appears that the ZTE tool, when you unselect 'reserve userdata', has an extra trick up its sleeve to really clear everything. Coroneta has reported success as well with the ZTE installer.

I also go on record to report that Google Play DOES filter on x86 compatibility, and using google play in your webbrowser you can visualize the app's that are not compatible with your devices. So for those of you who have gapps on their v975, kindly login to Google on your pc, open play.google.com and search for "ING Belgie" or "iCoyote". There is a dropdown of compatible devices, and you'll see your v975 listed with a black X. Not compatible. Your Wallet settings might prevent you from seeing this proof, not sure about that one.

Anyone out there who can confirm this ?

regards
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazzmaniac91:
Hi,

For me no trouble. I can choose to install icoyote on my zte v975 from play. As it is a price application without free light version I don't buy it.

Good luck.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papagayo69:
Thanks !!

Thanks you guys !! And thanks GlennRunciter !!

Did everything once again and everything works like a charm !!

Coming from IOS I was a bit afraid to switch to Android (tried a few device in the past and never felt in love with it..) but with the geek I have to admit that I'm quite happy !! (the ration price/perf is quite awsome !!)

Thanks again, now I'm training myself to create ROM while patiently waiting for the release of the kernel source code ...

Thanks again !!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlennRunciter:
Papagayo,don't worry about it.

But I'd appreciate a return favour :

Now that you have gapps and Google has a link between you and your v975, kindly login to Google on your pc, open play.google.com and search for "ING Belgie" or "iCoyote". There is a dropdown of compatible devices. Is your v975 marked as compatible, and what are your Wallet settings, and country in particular ?

I'm still at a loss as to why my v975 is listed as incompatible with iCoyote - my Wallet settings are 100% ok, but tazzmaniac91 reports he can install iCoyote on his v975 ???

thx !
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papagayo69:
No sorry for me too it's not compatible for me too !!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazzmaniac91:

File explorer

Hi guys

I got "mine" V975 four days ago and I am completely satisfied in advance. I got it root with Google Play installed.

Well, I tried to get access on system using ES File Explorer but not possible. When I try to check root explorer I get answer " test

failed,this feature can no run on your device". By the way, Superuser is installed in my device.

Has anybody already tried that to advise me?

Thanks

I apologize for my English.

Well, 2 installed root checkers said "non rooted". Probably minideal.net deceived us (me and others) and my device is not root.

Let's take a look above how to root it..

Hello,

Ive been trying to root and get gapps on my ZTE geek for a while now but it doesn't seem to work. Google applications keep closing..

What I did was:

1) Downloaded B06, rooter.zip and Eric Xiangs gapps

2) Used the ZTE app to update to B06

3) Booted up in bootloader menu, wipe data/factory reset

4) Ran rooter.zip

5) Rebooted phone

6) Installed Eric Xiang's gapps

But after all this, gapps still doesn't work.

Any ideas? Thx.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mudi68:
The mistake you made was downloading Eric Xiangs gapps. Try this and it should work:

So again:

1) Downloaded B06, rooter.zip and GoogleApps zip (xttps://disk.yandex.com/public/?hash=7EpNlNSXspFLlFJZFOUXGGXP9sI/34mvg0ycukfw9IA%3D (replace x with h)). Extract the GoogleApps zip in the sdcard

2) Used the ZTE app to update to B06 (from GlennRunciter post: reinstall B06 using the ZTE app, and select "upgrade system on SD card", but make sure to tick OFF "Reserve userdata while updating the system".)

3) Booted up in bootloader menu and run rooter.zip

4) From GlennRunciter post: Then startup into android, we want it reverted back to Chinese, so switch language to your locale, and copy all APK files from the gapps to /system/app folder using the chinese rootexplorer. Choose the righthandside button if you're unsure about No/Yes choices in chinese. Don't configure anything on your phone - other than switching the locale.

After the copy, reboot. You'll see android "installing the apk's".

5) Now, you have a rooted ZTE with google apps installed.

Enjoy!

I did the same mistake by taking the Éric one. Follow the last post and it will work..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thijs_G:
I can follow you until step 4.. I think i did everything you said but the apks do not install.

I don't really understand step 4. 'We want it reverted back to chinese, so switch language to your locale". That doesn't sound right :p I just left it in chinese, i didnt change language. and succesfully copied all the apks.

I rebooted phone but nothing happens at all.

Edit: I tried with a brand new SD card this time, but now i have the problem that i don't have the 'system' map. Should i just make a map named like that?

Made a map system and a map app. Doesn't work. Apk's jsut don't install.. Even tried manually but doesn't work for all of them.

Getting quite desperate here ><
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papagayo69:
Not sure it will help, but I remember I had little trouble at that stage too... Maybe what he was saying is that most of the thing will be in chinese, and that you have to select your local language... Than in rootexplorer, which still in chinese, you'll have to copy the apk files to the system/app folder the "blind" way because RE is fully in chinese ..

What I did is like one of the previous post, replace the chinese root explorer apk by an english one first .. than it's easier to move the other apk to the right folder .. During that process I removed all the chinese bloatware as well ... I'll copy you which post I followed in the next post ..

---------- Post added at 01:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 PM ----------

Than instead of taking eric xiang google installer , I took the apk of one of the first post ...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GlennRunciter:
Mudi68, thx for putting libhoudini on the radar, new to me. Did you find apk or install scripts ? I got speed gunned this week, 150euros, i should,ve spend that on an ARM phone :)

"We want it reverted back to chinese.. ". What i meant was if you install b06 the thorough way it should reboot into chinese android. If not, you don't have a clean install. It's not hard to find your favourite language settings, even in a chinese android.

English RE, thats like debating vi versus nano. Sure nano is easier, but if vi is all you have, run with it :)

It's all good, as long as the risk we all took with this phone is mitigated and we're happy with it. Hopefully the CM crowd pick us up and let the v975 rock !

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papagayo69:
Hi guys, still no kernel on zte website, time for some more mails so they keep it in mind !!

When you say that you see website with more activities, is it proper improvement or just the same roms we have with small "cleaning" (chinese bloatware ect..) ? If it's more than that I'll be happy to have some links !!

I'm still working on Cm port, trained on other devices, first rom built !! Still it's for samsung arm phone which is way more easy than new x86 devices, but that's a start !!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mudi68:
From what I understand, we already have the libhoudini library installed in our system. That's why we can run the most "ARM only" apps. But these apps are slower than they would be on an ARM phone (play subway surf and you would know what I mean).

This is actually an interesting read: commonsware.com/blog/2013/11/21/libhoudini-what-it-means-for-developers.html

Now, with the ARM translator/emulator, you just need be lucky with the apps. Most apps work, some crashes. Maybe Intel will bring updates that can fix this problem (which I don't believe) or maybe developers will make their apps also for intel platform (you can always mail them about it. For them, it's maybe a week work).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marcb:
