Waiting on a custom rom

Hello everyone,

I used the method I found at needrom.

It did the trick; the device was rooted, gapps installed, an multilangual.

But I didn't manage to install the latest update (50). I thought it was because the device was rooted, so I removed root, whitout succes, I am still not able to install the update. :(

Also I think the contact manager is buggy; newly added contacts dissapear after rebooting the device, it doesn't matter if I sync the device. I have to import my contacts from my SD card every time this happens.

So, I hope there comes a good custom rom for this device with this excellent hardware! I have Miui unofficiall on my Xiaomi Mi2s, it works like a charm. I hope soon this device appears on the list one of these days :)

update

-if you installed the ROm from needrom, i think you cannot upgrade to 0.50.

-on www.ztehn.com you can download the full 0.50 rom (only english and chinese language) this rom you can flash.

-contacts: If you are in contacts, press "more" and "advanced" and check the "default storage" it must be set to your google account. Then go back and check "display settings" and check which accounts are to show in contact list.

I had same problem and the problem was, that all new contact automaticly save to local storage and i have the local storage unchecked to display..so i havent seen my newly added contacts!!!

[General Questions and Answers] DallasCZ:
roms on ztehn.com especialy the CM11 and Mokee and ATX team modded roms are all from another sources (tdbeta.cn and anzhi.com) :D

i am from monday on davidkings 1.08 firmware (from anzhi) and all is great so far.
[General Questions and Answers] fazerg:
AFAIK, there is only one multilanguage version 0.44 based on JB 4.3.

DallasCZ, I mean I'll never try things like CM Mokee etc. Just don't like 'em same as you do not like MIUI LeWa etc. I do not care who posted it first and where. I'm only about to say that ztehn.com is an official site and beta versions like 1.06, 1.08 are official beta versions which I may use or may not if official one comes out.
[General Questions and Answers] DallasCZ:
OK..

and as i know the multilanguage version (0.44) is from minideal.com and i found it on needrom.

BTW Etotalk also sells ZTE V5 WCDMA version with their moded ROM.

The waiting for propper firmware is killing me..so in the meantime i try custom roms from other developers/modders. The way back to backuped previous ROM is allways and took about 10 minutes :)

But the CM11 and Mokee are really very early beta versions.
[General Questions and Answers] fazerg:
First time hear about this store. I'm buying things from Aliexpress stores only.

:good: That's what I always do. Full back up of new item ROM and than start all experiments. Full I mean really full. Let say for MTK SoC devices you can do full memory dump using MTK SPFlashtool and than just flash entire memory using special hidden option in this program when needed. For Qualcomm I don't know other way than dd all partitions and use fastboot to restore. Will appreciate if there is any.
[General Questions and Answers] DallasCZ:
with cwm recovery you can make full nandroid backup and restore directly from phone.
[General Questions and Answers] fazerg:
this is another thing I do not like for several reasons. Regarding backup the reason is you can not back up original recovery in such case. Also as I am not sure what is full nandroid backup in CWM. For instance in TWRP you can't back up everything but only few most essential partitions which is great but might be not enough in some hard cases. Yes, full backup in way I mentoined is huge, bat there is always enough place on 1 TB disk on my laptop and it can be compressed too.
[General Questions and Answers] DallasCZ:
you can make backup as you wish... for me is cwm nandroid backup enough had several devices and also flashed many roms to friends phones and never had problem with it...original recovery you can flash anytime trough fastboot :)
[General Questions and Answers] honzajs:
For nandroid backup only cwm. After 4 years no problem with restore...

I am sorry to bother you guys, ZTE V9180 1GB RAM is my first smartphone ever.

I have no clue what to do with it to have multilanguage ROM and install google store.

Can please somebody help me with little steps, I was reading about root,cwm,recovery...I learned a little, but it's too much for this noobie :rolleyes:
[General Questions and Answers] nunytes:
It's quite easy. Download the ROM provided in needrom and flash trough PC. Just need to power you phone off. Then power it on while pressing volume - at same time and you will enter fastboot mode. Click volume down few moments and run the batch in your PC and wait until it ends. Now that has finished power your phone on and you're ready to go. :)

[General Questions and Answers] DallasCZ:
1-Its not IPS screen but LTPS which is TFT version so slightly advantage

2- it has only 1GB RAM so disadvantage

3- it has only 8mpix camera...ZTE has sony 13 mpix camera so disadvantage

4- ZTE is WCDMA phone but not LTE , but foxconn is only 4G on bands 1,3,7 so you have to chceck

5- 2400 mAh versus 2500 mAh is not a big deal.

6- non removable battery is for me parsonally big disadvantage

7- foxconn has only 2mpix front camera so disadvantage

so what is on this foxconn device better?It is on every ones consideration.

p.s. This is thread about ZTE V9180 not a thread about what to buy, so please write in another thread/web.

[General Questions and Answers] navin_n:
Stock ROM doesn't contain Google Services so you better flash custom recovery and flash my v1.19 ROM.. Check my google drive for V5.

To Flash Recovery, you can do like this:

If your phone is running then you can enable USB debugging mode and also install the device drivers ( refer to 1st page 2nd post if you don't know how to enable USB Debugging mode) and the process to install the custom recovery. I prefer CWM recovery.

Still you can't install the recovery then follow the following steps:

1. Download Recovery Tool.zip file from my google drive and unzip it.

2. Power off the phone and then put the phone to fastboot/bootloader mode by pressing vol - and pwr-button for some second.

3. Once the phone is in Fastboot mode, connect the data cable.

4. Open command prompt in PC and navigate to extract folder of recovery tool zip.

5. In the command prompt, type this command

fastboot.exe -i 0x19d2 flash recovery recovery_cwm.img

6. After complete, you can select "Boot Recovery" to enter the recovery you have flashed.

After that you can flash the custom rom.

[General Questions and Answers] navin_n:
If you can enter Fastboot mode by pressing vol - and pwr-button then you can use recovery_unbrick.zip which is in my Google Drive to install the recovery.

Also, you can try installing the driver which is in my google drive....

i want to know does my model is differed from 2g/8g version of v9180 ? and i should use another rom for it?

yes the wifi was working before . but now beside wifi also when i connect the charger it will be restarted , and also after sometimes it will be turned off . all the rom that i flashed i got the same result.
[General Questions and Answers] navin_n:
I guess it's software issue ... which version you had at the 1st hand??

Did you do full wipe data/cache before you flash the ROM?

If you are using 1G/4G version then better use CWM recovery and flash the ROM again. (TWRP has some issue with 1/4G version)

Chinese site suggest to do full wipe data/cache/partition two times before flashing the ROMs..

Files/ROMs/Tools that you need are in my google drive ...just check it.

Similar problem as yours has already been dealt before .... if you have patience then you can search this forum.

Big problem with ZTE V5 2G/8G version

Hello

I have a big problem with ZTE V5 2G/8G version.

Let me explain:

The phone only work when the charger is plugged,I mean when i use battery,the phone reset every time but when i connect the charger and turn on the phone and remove the battery after 2-3 secs it will boot up and work!

I think battery is gone but i think it can be a problem with Electronic circuits because when i want to use LED flash or when i make call and speak ( when i use charger only,without battery) it will reset again.

Now i want to know The reason of reset when i want to use LED flash on when i using charger only without battery can be a evidence that show us Electronic circuits problem or it is logical when i use charger only,the phone can't supply power to do heavy works?

If it's normal that the phone can't supply power to do heavy works in charger only mode,can we sure about battery issue?

* I must add one more clue and that is every time ( in charger only mode ) i tap the power button and phone show the lock screen i see a message that told me: Temperature anomaly ( while it is so cool )

I show the phone to some amateur Repairman but they confused when i explain the issue and unfortunately we don't have any pro technician in our city.

I will appreciate if any one can help me to resolve this problem.

Thanks in advance

Problem with flashing custom recovery

When I start run.bat it says: drivers installed, usb debugging on, I choose the cwm(same with twrp), press any key and immediately it says successful flashing, reboot to recovery only to find stock recovery is still there.

Google Drive Links to firmware, gapps, and roms NOT working, please reup

---------- Post added at 01:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 PM ----------

I am a relative newbie, needing a little help and advice. I have a ZTE v9180 1GB RAM dual SIM and want to get google play store on it WITHOUT ROOTING. Can I do that by installing the gapps?

I also want to upgrade to the latest OFFICIAL NON-CUSTOMIZED android operating system. Is that v1.17 or v 1.19? I have read a lot of your XDA posts and I seem to think that 1.17 is OFFICIAL ZTE release and v 1.19 is a CUSTOM ROM?

From what I read on XDA, I should copy the v1.17 zip to the root of the SD card. Then using the Recovery screen, WIPE and RESET to FACTORY settings. REBOOT into RECOVERY again and install v.1.17 thru the recovery mode, and when it completes, without reboot, install gapps 1.10 by clicking it's zip from the root of the SD card?

Please provide working download links to v.1.17(assuming it is ZTE Official release) and v.1.19(if it is NOT custom) and the compatible gapps I should use. Please note that there are LOTS of links to v.1.17 and v1.19 that are NOT the same size and I would like the OFFICIAL ZTE files.

IMPORTANT: Can I do the above WITHOUT ROOTING?

THANKS for ALL your excellent efforts on the ZTE v9180!!

Hi! I have this awesome phone and i install official mokee 5.1.1 . It works great but my only complaint is that the internal storage isn't enought for more than 25-30 apps. I found at pda.ru the following program (its name is x9180-partition-tool-demonter.exe) for repartition the internal storage but i'm not able to make it work. Because i'm not russian i can't post to pda.ru for answer , if someone can help i would appreciate. I run windows 10 with adb and fastboot installed. If someone manage to do that a tutorial would be great. Thanks a lot in advance.
