Can you provide me the link for TWPR Recovery (there is such information in this thread that it's complicated to find everything). And is this version of TWPR in english ?

Thanks

(edit) : found :p. Great search here, use Haz 2.8.0.0 plus theme from TWPR Materialised to have english. Is there a more up to date TWPR version ?
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
I'm using 3.1.1 by alexeei with nova launcher everything very smooth and fast, no lagging at all and works perfect, antutu score 41000, I'm very pleased with this rom :)
[Device Reviews and Information] duckslivelong:
Do you have root access? If you do, how did you get it? Because I really need super su for a majority of my apps

---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 PM ----------

Also can I get the link for CM11S? I want to try this ROM out
[Device Reviews and Information] vmonheros:
Hi,

What Gapps do you use ? I've got Google Search FC ... And If I use full Gapps, Google launcher is not working (I've got a black screen)
[Device Reviews and Information] sergoven:
одскажите кто. андроид 5.0 ставлю все супер работает, как только накатываю гапсы все система ложиться. гапсы официальные пробовал как фул пак так и нано.

---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 PM ----------

tell me who. android 5.0 put all super runs as soon as the system is rolled franca all go to bed. GAPS official tried to pack as ful and nano.
[Device Reviews and Information] 5KKKKK:
For root, you can go to #803 post, CM11s may have more bugs than LP, but I haven't test, just heard some guys complaim about it. App compatibility and power consume are major problems on LP, but it's good enough for daily use

Before you flash gapps, you need to install another launcher and set it as default.
[Device Reviews and Information] vmonheros:
Yep, exactly what I did. However, I would be happy to find how to have google experience working. Furthermore, you cannot upgrade some apps, as keyboard for example (that gave me errors).

However, nice ROM. I love it. I hope we will see progress on it :).

I tried also to check if we can add more language with morelocale application. It works on some of them, but not all (I cannot have French for Settings for example). One of you know if it is possible ?

For sure, no issue with Gapps for global languages.
[Device Reviews and Information] pkb_always4u:
Just 2 Questions :

1) Does this mobile has root and CWM?

2) Android kk or custom?
[Device Reviews and Information] 5KKKKK:
1）Yes, we have root, and 3 kinds of recovery, including cwm, puliz touch, twrp

2)We have official JB and KK now, maybe JP will come at the end of February, maybe not...and custom JP has come out, CM12 will come soon

btw, MF3.1.2 will come tomorrow, I will port it here
[Device Reviews and Information] pkb_always4u:
Ohh sounds good.

If you can review its camera in a few lines it would help me to buy it.

And do you mean lollipop by JP and what is this MF?
[Device Reviews and Information] 5KKKKK:
Well, I don't know how to talk about camera, maybe other people can tell you. To me, it's good enough.

Yes, JP should be LP, lollipop, text wrong...MF is Mifavor, zte UI

Sorry for my bad English...sleep now, it's too late

MF3.1.12, you can OTA from 3.1.11

Download link: http://yunpan.cn/cKKV6KdM8cS8S Code: 449e

Original link: http://www.myzte.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=215314&extra=page=1&filter=author&orderby=dateline

Recommend to wipe if your current version is not 3.1.11

As usual, little bugs fixed, stay on 3.1.11 and waiting for 5.0....

Faster than light! Thanks man ;)
[Device Reviews and Information] alcantara1977:
Testing, and aaaall OK. Thx.
[Device Reviews and Information] krispin:
Hi Alexeei, thanks for your effort. Just one small question. Are you or anybody else able to download from cloud.mail.ru directly to the phone? It was possible previously, but not anymore. Just start and download file with .htm extension. On pc everything OK.
[Device Reviews and Information] RAWSOME:
I think the camera is pretty bad lots of blurry shots. In optimal lighting conditions it makes good pictures but if I'd compare the camera overall to my old HTC ONE S then camera is just crap.
[Device Reviews and Information] pkb_always4u:
Okk, got a deal on Redmi 1S (77 usd) so bought it temporarily and then can wait for Zenfone 2 (Asus).
[Device Reviews and Information] alcantara1977:
Yes, I've downloaded it directly from cloid.mail.ru. It starts download as .zip.
[Device Reviews and Information] w0nd3r1987:
hello , where can I buy the back cover? mine is scratched ... same problem for the glass of the camera
[Device Reviews and Information] RAWSOME:
search for "replacement back S291" on aliexpress
[Device Reviews and Information] w0nd3r1987:
Ok thanks!what can i do for the camera's glass?
[Device Reviews and Information] Xrunner87:
That's simple. Smear the camera's glass with some toothpaste, then use a tissue or cloth to rub it. As you can see the scratch will gradually disappeared. Keep rubbing it untill all the glass coating gone. The camera could shot better pictures with the coating gone.

I don't do well on English, so please quote me if you want to know what excatly I said.
[Device Reviews and Information] w0nd3r1987:
Yeah i solved it :) i still have some problems with the Device... Some times the touchscreen gone crazy and the power button is became too "soft"..any solutions?
[Device Reviews and Information] Xrunner87:
Why the root access is wrong? I rebooted it a feel times and it went wrong.

I don't do well on English, so please quote me if you want to know what excatly I said.
[Device Reviews and Information] pbmm:
I had the same issue until I reinstalled CWM 6.0.4.9 (English/Chinese Recovery) with SuperSU. This combination seem to fix the issue.
[Device Reviews and Information] Xrunner87:
Eh... A strange thing happend after I updated my phone to MF3.1.2. The Xposed can't find any installed mods in my phone. I have already installed Gravity Box and XuiMod and Advanced Power Menu, but it just can't be recognized by the Xposed Installer.

I don't do well on English, so please quote me if you want to know what excatly I said.
[Device Reviews and Information] duckslivelong:
Hey man I get this problem with your ROM. Once in a while it just starts going back and closing apps. I would have to restart to solve the issue. It also happened to me on the ROM I had before. Should I ship my product back to zte or what?
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
I have 3.1.2 and xposed and everything works just fine
[Device Reviews and Information] jozco313:
Hi, is there some news about the CyanogenMod 12 (5.0.x) for our Grand S2 ? Is someone (hasz?) working on it ?

BTW. It seems that the next or official 5.0 ROM will include the new the MiFavor UI , it was shown on the new launched ZTE Blade s6.
[Device Reviews and Information] 5KKKKK:
hasz is very busy with his work, CM11 may stop update for a long time.

fuqihong is an official developer, and he is too busy with another zte device, but he still work on S291 at his spare time, just make a little progress on 5.0 bugs, so he is not going to release a new version these day. And he works on CM12 at the same time, almost complete, but need more test before release. let's be patient and wait for surprise:D

Once Official weibo said MF based on 5.0 for 291 will come out at the end of February, but then it said it may be late more...
[Device Reviews and Information] mc.god:
Same as chetbiz, not a single issue with Xposed on 3.1.2, nor on any other previous rom. Did it suddenly ceased functioning or never worked under 3.1.2? The only thing i can suggest you is to disable\uninstall completely Xposed then reinstall it from scratch.
[Device Reviews and Information] Qaosh:
I've got this annoying buzzing on my screen. Like it is scrolling a little bit up and down. Does anyone know of this problem? Yea? How to solve it?

Tried reinstalling MF 3.1.2, wiping cache and dalvik. Any ideas?
[Device Reviews and Information] RAWSOME:
Have the same on 4.4 roms no Idea if it can be fixed. If you turn off auto brightness it should be good and you will only have it briefly when you ajust the bightness. Somehow it doesnt happen on 4.3 roms.
[Device Reviews and Information] Qaosh:
Nope, didnt happen to me either on 4.3. But thanks, manually adjusting is better then a buzzing screen. ;)
[Device Reviews and Information] RAWSOME:
There is a new CM11 and Pac-man rom for the s291 on myzte. Will try it out later and report.
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
cm11 looks fine but the wifi not working, its connecting but no internet :mad:
[Device Reviews and Information] klaun1k:
I am also testing CM11 and wifi works fine, Antutu score is only about 30 000 but overall is pretty stable and fast. Looking forward to CM 12.
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
My mistake, wifi working just fine, for now I'm surprised this rom is very good and stable...
[Device Reviews and Information] pbmm:
I hope they can fix the camera and camcorder issue with CM.
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
After using CM for 2 days back to mf 3.1.2. CM not so stable, got restarts every 2-3 hours :(

Need little tution

Hello everyone!

I am using ZTE Grand SII (S291) since May 14. Although I had heard about rooting android phones but had no idea how to do it. I have been reading this thread since yesterday and am really impressed by the level of knowledge that exists here as well as sense to help others. I also want to root my phone and install a custom ROM, but unfortunately, because of my poor knowledge of the field, feeling lost now :D so I am requesting little help and guidance. I am using the phone as I purchased it, and I have checked it has b04 ROM (I am attaching pic). Please help me in following:

I want to install the latest version of a stable and tested ROM which is available and which is without many chinese apps that I never use in this phone. Moreover, I also want to use google play and other google apps. So please guide me which root tool, custom recovery (preferablly in english), which ROM and gapps package I should use and the can all this be done adopting the procedure jozco313 has narrated in his thread "ZTE Grand SII LTE (S291) - ROOT , RECOVERY, install GApps"
[Device Reviews and Information] RAWSOME:
Just tried the new CM11 Form myzte and at first same old screen problem but then after flashing the second patch file the screen issue was gone. So I guess the key to solve our screen issues is in that ZIP.
[Device Reviews and Information] mc.god:
Hi and welcome :)

Since you are still on old B04 i think that proceeding as described by jozco313 in the other thread will be ok, the only issue you could have is about the fastboot driver, if your phone remains black appliying the root and you are forced to remove battery to restart it, search in that thread how to solve it installing missing drivers. After rooting I suggest installing the bilingual CWM 6.0.4.9, you can find the entire procedure described here (use google translate if you don't understand spanish).

After installing CWM i suggest you to flash the last MF3.1.2 tweaked by alexei that you can find some posts above, it goes stable and performs well, is already rooted and debloatd from chinese apps and has gapps preinstalled, so it's nice and clean out of the box, a little work for a great outcome ;) (remember to do a full wipe of data, cache and dalvik cache from recovery before flashing the rom!)

Hope you can get through all this without issues.
[Device Reviews and Information] Therakin:
Can you give me the download link?
[Device Reviews and Information] 5KKKKK:
CM12, experimental version, by fuqihong, more stable than Android 5.0 v4

[Device Reviews and Information] jozco313:
I have no root acces , does someone has the same problem ? I flashed the rom with english recovery...
[Device Reviews and Information] 5KKKKK:
You can flash a root package, btw, it's said that power consumption is very bad...two core stay at 1.5ghz
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
There is no multilingual firmware, all official firmwares from ZTE in Chinese and English only, you have to root your device and install morelocal to open more languages.
[Device Reviews and Information] raja4sure:
Hello everyone.

I am yet to receive my device as of now. Still 2 more days to go.

I have already started working on this device and i must say it's looking good for future projects.

The Kernel source provided by them are very good and i can compile it successfully with a little bit of modifications.

I am going to start working on CM11 straight away after the device arrives and i must say i surely think CM11 is very near to our device..

Happy weekend to all. Cheers!
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
Man its a great news, Waiting for CM11 :thumbup:
[Device Reviews and Information] Simmessa:
THAT'S HUGE NEWS! I think a lot more ppl will join us when CM11 is ported, THANK YOU Raja! :good::good::good:
[Device Reviews and Information] tonapi:
Thank you, I have to buy from a vendor and I want to know if it is convenient to ask install the b09 or not, because the seller can do it for me, but I do not know if I should do it or not.
[Device Reviews and Information] MCarek:
Thanks for your effort. It´s really nice to hear it that someone starts to do it and push this wonderful phone to a higher level :good:;)

---------- Post added at 08:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 PM ----------

You can do it, it´s easy to do it by jozco´s manual or you can ask a vendor (if you mean aliexpress). They do it for you (root, upload multilanguage, flash to a newest rom).:good: Before my purchase I wrote with few sellers and asked them if they provide root, multilanguage etc. Non of them said no ;)
[Device Reviews and Information] tonapi:
thank so much :) but i would to know if firmware B09 is better than the original ;)
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
This improvements just from b08, so there is a lot of them from original b04.

1. patch-based Qualcomm to optimize the signal part of the problem scenarios

2. increase Qualcomm patch to resolve the occasional phenomenon of death

3. optimize wake strategy to enhance the user experience

4. optimize timing shutdown and call concurrent processing mechanism

5. solve occasional glove mode is automatically opened questions

6. modify brightness adjustment interface layout, increase FOTA interface menu menu, etc.

7. updated touch screen, LCD firmware upgrade touch experience and display

8. certain other interface tweaks and optimize small probability problems

I can´t download it.

[Device Reviews and Information] Steeve_02:
I am dowloading it , so there is no issue. You just have to sign in and then you can download the file.

[Device Reviews and Information] jozco313:
Found another rom but b10 with the new ui , just modding it and will test it.

But I just found MIUI 4.4 rom , i will see what it is and upload it if it work.
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
miui 4.4?! it's too good to be true :)

hope it's working... pls update :thumbup:

flashed back to B08 and everithing works , this phone is very safe to flash
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
I saw the tread about miui 4.4 at myzte.cn.

They say there is some problem with wifi, and before you install you have to wipe/factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik..
[Device Reviews and Information] jozco313:
Please can you tell me where to download the root package ? I had one old for 4.4 but that doesnt work...

I want to try this CM12 for only few days

[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
pac man rom

did anybody already test the rom in object? seems to be a 4.4.4 release and could be quite interesting considered the reputation of pac man roms installed on several devices. I downloaded it from myzte, there are two signed zips (Pac man 1 and 2). I suppose that both must be flashed following the numerical order. But I would be happy if somebody who already has tested it could give me a feedback and a little help about flashing.
[Device Reviews and Information] 5KKKKK:
You just need to flash one of them, because somebody may stay at start logo, so he provide two package.

You may have system UI stop problem when you enter system, so you need to do two wipe twice before flash it, and uninstall Android L theme after entering system

I haven't tested it, just have a look at its info
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
just another question. If I try a new rom and need to revert to the stock b15 can I use the official zip downloaded from the zte site ? Am I forced to revert to stock recovery before flashing the stock firmware or I can use as well the cwm?
[Device Reviews and Information] Xrunner87:
I'm wondering, is it possible to make a kernel for overclocking? It would be great if we can overclock our S291 which is equipped with such a powerful CPU.

I don't do well on English, so please quote me if you want to know what excatly I said.
[Device Reviews and Information] mc.god:
Why do you want to reflash B15 from scratch? Since you have CWM the best choice is to do a nandroid backup from CWM just before trying any other rom, so if you want to revert back you simply restore the backup from CWM again and you'll have your phone nice and ready as it was just before flashing the new rom, no need to flash, no need to redo root, no need to debloat, no need to reinstall and reconfigure apps. This is the best added value of custom recoverys, why not using it?
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
Does some one tried the CM12? Is it worth to install it instead MF 3.1.2?
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
you are right, I forgot this feature. Anyway if I would need, for any reason, to reinstall the stock system from scratch may I use the zip downloaded from zte? And could I flash it with cwm?
[Device Reviews and Information] mc.god:
Yes, the zippd B15 you downloaded from ZTE is obviously fine for reinstalling system from scratch, if I remeber well I flashed it via CWM set in Chinese language (I have the bilingual 6.0.4.9), didn't try with ENG language but I suppose it's fine too since I use it flashing MF3.x.x without issues.
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
Troubles with MF 3.1.2 from alexeii. ROM seems good and stable but GPRS doesn't work at all. I've to insert manually my apn configuration, but enabling data is useless. If i enter engineer mode dialing *#*#4636#*#* GPRS is down (GSM working). If i try to set a different band the process com.android.phone hangs up. Also enabling data from the engineer mode is useless. With stock b15 my GPRS connection works fine.
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
Im on the same rom, all working just fine, no problems with gprs at all.
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
I've flashed from b15 after full wipe (restore, clean cache and dalvik) using bilingual cwm. I downloaded zip more times to test if my file was corrupted. Always same result. GPRS not working. With b15 data connection works fine.
[Device Reviews and Information] chetbiz:
Does it happen on 2g or 3g data connection? Im using only 3g and 4g, never tryid on 2g
[Device Reviews and Information] teomel:
Only 3g. Set on 4g,3g,2g automatic. I tried several bands anyway. It looks like gms is working but i can't enable data traffic. I found that in engineer mode with b15 there is a menu option that correctly switch between enable/disable data. Under MF 3.1.2 it is fixed on "enable" and cannot be switched anyway.
[Device Reviews and Information] alexeei:
Somebody try new CM12? I found that in it not worked USB connection mode, computer not recognize it at all(on Android 5 v4 work normal), is it only for me?
[Device Reviews and Information] big dane fyn:
cm 12

have tried cm 12 same errors as you type

and the uplight buttons light too much

and the battery goes dead fast
[Device Reviews and Information] mc.god:
Never had issues with mobile data but, just like you, with MF3.x the phone doesn't get automatically the apn and I have to set it manually (with MF2.x it was automatic the first time opening the browser). So, before searching and trying complex solutions, I'd like to ask the more basic thing: are you sure you set up the apn correctly? Maybe there is some options that you missed, check with your provider.
[Device Reviews and Information] Therakin:
With one is better? CM 12, or Android 5v4. I'm having the same problems with CM12.
