Well, than it's better to use just

fastboot update <your_rom_name.zip>

In my opinion, fastboot boot should be used for test purpose of boot.img and recovery.img. Use of this command as you said requires copying of ROM to SD card then flash it from recovery then wipe cache and probably data. This all could be done by running simple script using fastboot commands.

Using fastboot you can flash as well any single image without creating signed blablabla.zip and updater-script inside it. And my plan is to have full dump of all partitions once phone arrives and make script to flash every single partition using fastboot. The reason is this phone is not for me and I must have quick fix for it ready and be able to fix it in minutes.
[General Questions and Answers] wwenigma:
Fastboot boot recovery.img is working, easy solution. Not need to modify factory recovery.

If you want brick your phone, just play with that, i cant recommend that. Make a CWM backup and restore if need. :)

Sent from my ZTE v9180.
[General Questions and Answers] fazerg:
I prefer not to use CWM. There were so many cases when CWM backups fail and even brick phones. Also, people compiling CWM all have eagle eyes I guess. I can't read CWM menus and usually use TWRP if there is a need, in most cases there is not. And if there is no TWRP for particular phone/tablet I always can compile or port one.

And if you mean to brick the phone playing with dd for partitions dump, you are talking to wrong person. ;)
[General Questions and Answers] nunytes:
Thanks, it's already working. The problem was simple to solve: pull out the sim card, reboot and insert it again (after install proper fw).

Where are you-read information, such as looking for, but I have not found information from the WCDMA version does not support LTE, where did you find it?

on:

http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/20e92bfd

It says clearly that it supports LTE or 8gb version, such that we have.

I tried to find some information on the Official ZTE but I can not for this phone, as that did not exist =. =.
[General Questions and Answers] nunytes:
Yes, it exists! It's www.ztehn.com but it's in chinese.

Enviado do meu V9180
[General Questions and Answers] DallasCZ:
on official zte site...because the phone is sold only in China the site is www.htehn.com use google translator..and you will find.

Any way on the site you mentioned is written that LTE. (And all the info is about all the versions so, they mixed specifiactions of U9180, N9180, V9180)

LTE -TDD (time-division duplexing) on bands B38,B39 and B40 which are used only in China,Australia and i think US.

In Europe The LTE most used network is LTE - FDD (frequency-division duplexing) standart.

So if you wnt to use your phone get the info what LTE type your provider uses.

Anyway ZTE V9180 (the version which supports WCDMA) doues not have radio to recieve LTE signal.

SO ZTE V5 V9180 (WCDMA) supports only GSM (2G 900/1800/1900 mHz) and WCDMA (2100 mHz).

This is the last time in this thread i will write this..please use search, read from proper sources (not china resellers), trusted websites etc.

see posts 94,97,101.

If you have in your country LTE-TDD (TD-LTE) on bands 38,39,40 so you can order ZTE V5 U9180 not V9180 (WCDMA version)

howgh
[General Questions and Answers] fazerg:
Well, put together everything to have fasboot flashable ROM similar to Xiaomi phones. And then discovered in updater-script of official ROM strings creating some simlinks in /system from /data and /persist partitions. Really strange decision of ZTE(?) engineers especially considering that /data /persist and /misc partitions are not provided with official ROMs. How to recover from brick in case /data partition corrupted? This is quite likely case.

One more thing is disturbing me. Why there is separate website for single model and V5 not mentioned anywhere else among ZTE phones including ZTE official website?

now i have 0.44 multilanguage, and if i downloaded update 0.50 from fota i have abort instaliting, i instal original recovery(from google drive) and again abort, what am I doing wrong???:confused:
[General Questions and Answers] sephot:
Download Install package manually save it to your phone and run the installation directly from the recovery should work.
[General Questions and Answers] DallasCZ:
nope i think you should wipe the phone and maybe unroot.. then it should be no problem. btw. it will not go on the multilanguage rom, only stock romplease use search before asking.
[General Questions and Answers] nunytes:
Only 0.44 is multi language. And there is no need to unroot, just the wipes. I did to /system /data and /cache. Then I flashed stock recovery with flashable zip and reboot recovery with advance settings. Then flashed and it was OK.

Unknown version

Hi, I have a new ZTE V5 1/4gb.

Can someone tell me what version i have installed?

I does not look like other versions posted here.

Build number: V9.12

Nubia UI: V9.5.1

Can this version bee rooted with root.bat from Dallas Google Drive?

Or is better to install the latest version , 1.16?
[General Questions and Answers] amdek12:
Your version is 9.12 :o) There is a version modified by seller, I suppose. The next one is 1.13 (tap System Update and check).

You can root it and you can install the newest version. I had the same version when I bought my phone.
[General Questions and Answers] andreidam:
I tried OTA update, it downloads 1.13 the phone rebooted and started to install but I got "instalation aborted"

I think I will try to instal 1.16 from here if you say it is safe.
[General Questions and Answers] amdek12:
I never say that is 100% save :o). Soft upgrade never is 100% save - that is why even ZTE ask to do backup of your data. But, I done that and now have 1.16. It was quite easy and fast. Everything takes me about 15 minutes.

Many people from this forum do it and if you do step by step what is write in first posts, everything should be ok, and tonight you will have a new soft in your phone.
[General Questions and Answers] DallasCZ:
You dont have official firmware but modified firmware, so OTA will not work.

And firmwares which are on my google drive are stock factory firmwares from ZTE with no modifications, so it is safe to install.

You have to download and update manually (see second post)

I had downloaded all Links and files , CWM ok , Root OK , but Gapps no

in CWM when installing GAPPS sends msg that your GAPPS version not working with 4.3 , I tried to find GAPPS working with 4.3 but also had error

so what you suggest to do so as to install GAPPS

so you are an lazy lazy man :) did you saw the error you got? did you tried to flash only minimal (nano, pico) version of GAPPs (because you dont have so much space on system partition) :D. Of course 4.3 GAPPs when you are on 4.3 system :D

can't find any decent review about it anywhere.

i will wait the two weeks till next update...

now i am testing the 1.17 kernel from 4pda. In two weeks should be next update from ZTE.

Anyway till now the best kernel is the 1.16 kernel patched by proDOOMman (increased sensitivity when phone lying on desk and you operate it with one hand) + double tap to wake (DT2W) patch.

Could please someone help with this phone?

I have v9180 1gb/4gb version (v9180, wcdma, written under battery) with same problem as posted in post #1426 (page 143)

I don know what was original firmware, but after flashing several firmwares I messed up something - phone boots up, but wifi and data connection doesnt work.

I guess it has shomething to do with baseband or modem partition.

Is there a way to fix this?

What firmware I should flash?

Edit: bluetooth is working, and I can read my IMEI (it seems I didnt erased it)

Edit2: It seems I not only one with this problem. Found CesarSP (post #1551) with same - no working wifi & 3g. I wonder if he managed to fix it.
[General Questions and Answers] DallasCZ:
1-Try to flash only the radio file

2-and 2G internet is working good? Only 3G is not working? The wifi icon is hlaf blue when you turn it on or is blue and you cant see any network?

what firmware are you on now?
[General Questions and Answers] rtomakov:
I am on 1.13 multilang.

No internet at all (nor 2G). After some settings phone recognize SIM card, but it cannot establish data connection.

WiFi isnt turning on at all - it doesnt find any network, no wifi icon on status bar.

Before flashing my FW version was the same as user adreidam wrote in post #1584:

"Build number: V9.12 Nubia UI: V9.5.1"

Correction: bluetooth does not work either. In "Settings - About phone - Status" wifi and bt mac address are "unavailable".
[General Questions and Answers] DallasCZ:
flash some stock rom 1.16 or 1.17 they include the latest radio file and you will see.

Recovery disclaimer

IT IS STRONGLY RECOMENDED THAT USERS WHO HAVE 1/4 VERSION USE CWM CUSTOM RECOVERY (LATEST IS 6.0.5.1)

and i updated the ROOT+RECOVERY folder on my google drive. Now should everything work and the latest custom recoveries are also avaliable as flashable zips.

I also updated the TWRP to latest 2.8.4.0. build from january from FAZERGOO it is fast as hell (before the backup of entire rom take 460s now the same rom take only 300s)!
[General Questions and Answers] rtomakov:
Tried to flash radio from 1.15 - nothing changed (but I will try latest 1.17 as you said).

I have checked root of filesystem with rootexplorer, there is "persist" folder (or partition), but it is empty. Is there a way to rebuild it?

I also followed instructions that you gave to CesarSP, as described on 4pda forum. With nubia studio tools I found my original WiFi & BT MAC address,

but I dont know what to do with it.

Is there some full phone image that includes all partitions?
[General Questions and Answers] DallasCZ:
if you didnt make your own backup, then i think not. I have a full backup but without persist and modemst paritions, because they included phone specific data (mac adress etc.)

but have you tried to flash a stock rom?not only a radio?you dont have any TWRP/ CWM backup of any state before the brick?
[General Questions and Answers] amdek12:
You have to modify file (I don't remember which) with MAC address which you found. There was on 4pda, ass well, but I can't find it now.

Edit: Here you are - http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=594539&st=3040#entry37170105
[General Questions and Answers] rtomakov:
No, I dont have own backup. I tried to flash stock 1.17 - nothing changed.

I followed above link, modified WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini file (original file was empty) but it didnt work. Still no wifi nor bluetooth.

I belive that problem is in persist and modem... partitions that DallasCZ mentioned above. Somehow they are gone.

It seems there is no help.

Could someone please upload original WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini and other files from /persist partition (delete your mac address if necessary- I will not use it because I found my original addresses) ?

if you ordered from china and the phone is younger than 1/2 year then flash stock firmware, no gapps, no root, stock recovery and claim warranty repair :)

Error when installing new ROM

I get assert failed: (getprop("ro:.product.device") == "X9180"&&getprop("ro.product.model")... Anyone had this. It 1.17 update. I remember changing build.prop to fix youtube problem, from 4.4.x to 5.0. Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] DallasCZ:
if the build.prop change was the only one change to stock rom (i dont think so)...you have root,gapps..if you want to flash new firmware you have to flash stock recovery, wipe data and then flash 1.17.

Or delete in updater-script of 1.17 the assert, but you have to do it in the zip file (using 7zip and notepad++) so you dont change the zip file and the updater-script formating (dont use windows notepad).

Can I move to 1.17 from 1.16 by Navin

Hi I have the custom 1.16 nubia v2.5, build number ZTE v9180_CNCommon_V1.16

from Navin (removed Cinese apps etc.) .

Can I upgrade to 1.17 from "within" phone or only via cwm and also - I didn't understand if the new 1.17 mentioned in first post is stock or customized, and if it's Android 4.4 or Lollipop.

I just don't want to use titanium and can't be bothered re-installing all my apps...

The only issue I have now is that phone takes some time to "catch" my chosen ringtone after restart, and this seems to happen because phone app takes a while to fully load (only after restarts).

Thanks

I apologize if the answer to this is somewhere behind. I didn't find it.
[General Questions and Answers] navin_n:
yes...you can do it... it won't be a problem...but you need to flash it with CWM (without data/cache wipe).

Anyway you can use Nubia Backup and Restore app to backup all your data including apps. Later after flashing (assuming with data/cache wipe) you can restore it. No need to re-install all the apps.
