i'm not 100 percent sure but i think the kernel must support 2G/3G/4G switching for that feature to work with tasker.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] nabberuk:
I'm new to Android so this may be a "Feature" but when i unlock the phone 9/10 it shows me the dialer even though i hadn't had it open before i locked it. It's pretty annoying, does anyone know how to get rid of it?

Need Backup.img Partition

Anyone help me for to share backup.img via HDD Raw Copy Tool for the restore my partition.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] 11sword11:
+1

I have all that much harder, now I'm trying to create 8936_msimage.mbn using sbl1.mbn, rpm.mbn and tz.mbn from stock firmware.

If possible to reprogram the bootloader using MPRG8936.hex which is not signed ZTE

I also need a backup.img via HDD Raw Copy Tool from the phone with the firmware of the region so AS to restore the phone to working condition. Of course I then change IMEI to those that are printed on the box from my phone editing NV in a HEX editor.

My UK Variant of the Blade S6 seems to have developed a faulty GPS antenna... I've tested it using waze and an external GPS tool.. it just intermittently drops out...which is not good as a drive with it each day... I've tried a factory reset and still the issue(s) still occur... so after speaking to Amazon - I'll be returning my device and will be sent a new one...

11sword11 : which variant do you have? is there something I can extract from my phone which may aid you ?? c
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] 11sword11:
My phone was firmware with the region "AS". To recover I need full dump made HDDRawCopyTool from the phone with firmware ZTE_AS_Blade_S6V1.0.0B11 or any other firmware but only "AS". The file is likely to be very large, but should be sufficiently compressed by the archiver.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] AndyC76:
Shouldn't be a problem, I have access to the "AS" variant too, if you can send a link to the HDDRawCopyTool and let me know what to do... i'll try it for you.

Better still if you can provide a mac equivalent?

I would hope in the tutorial there is a way to remove personal data from the backup? :)

[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Taskman:
Doesn't it go away if you disable the 2nd SIM?

You can however use 2 SIM-cards and a microSD so it is not "taking up the slot" if that is what you meant with above.

Haven't tried it myself since I actively use both slots and a Micro SD.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] 11sword11:
While it is premature, as it turned out impossible to flash 8936_msimage.mbn because we have a new platform and flash it via prog_emmc_firehose_8939.mbn or may be suitable programmer for a model with a different processor of this generation such as ZTE z5s but the programmer must be signed by zte. The problem is that for other models of loader types prog_emmc_firehose_89ХХ.mbn I have not been able to find.

The 2nd SIM symbol stays even though it deactivated. An ugly hollow triangle is left. This should really get removed crib notification bar when you disable the 2nd SIM.

Just a small cosmetic thing I want "fixed". Notice the fix in "" as it isn't really a problem per se.

[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] AndyC76:
Regretfully, I'm going to return my 2nd (replacement) Blade S6.. as the GPS just wont give me a lock - even on a brand new phone... im having to use my old and reliable Nexus4 to travel, it would seem (haven't look at specs) that N4 can get a GPS lock right away (stock not rooted) and the Blade S6 cant get a lock (stock not rooted) - even after 20 mins...

Hello I have a problem with my ZTE Blade 6 atm I can't connect to any Wifi, if it lets me to connect it will be really slow and it will drop down eventually, does anyone might know why is this happening?
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Glosphil:
I have a UK Blade S6 and the GPS works flawlessly as does the Wi-Fi.

My problems with the phone are:

It occasionally reports "No network" although it is showing a 3G or 4G signal is available - a switch off and restart solves that one.

If left connected to the charger all night sometimes switches off.

Sometimes does not recognise that there is a SD card present (I never remove it).

Bit off topic, but Vodafone UK is now selling the Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 which is based on the ZTE Blade S6 Plus but with higher-resolution screen. It's amazing specs for £125 on pay as you go. And Blade S6 Plus unlock codes - less than a fiver on eBay - work on it.

[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] marus2:
Should next update fix this?

I'm loosing my patience with this phone.

- I'm not deaf, but I can't hear a word in noisy environment like city street and public space. I even can't raise a volume:mad: And my decision to use bluetooth handsfree won't solve this - I also can't raise volume to desired level :(

- Because I use bluetooth very often, I notice issue with stopped communication. Connect established, but nothing is broadcasting. It happens in Parrot HF in car and on my BT HF. It can be solved by shifting call to internal speaker and back to bluetooth, but when you drive it really suck.

- Issue with microphone which I post above and some users experience it the same way.

- And high battery drain on low LTE signal (it seems that phone switch often between 2G and 4G).

It seems ZTE produce great device for everything except calling - strange goal for telephone.

EDIT: Another thing that bothers me is occasional notation of missed call. It's not rare, that missed call is not displayed on notification bar, but only as small number on phone icon. Very frustrating, that you discover missed call after a few hours.

One lucky day, I will throw my S6 to the wall and return back to ZTE V5 Redbull, which is not so powerful, but it works.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] pedriito:
Hi all,

after almost 2 weeks of use (I come from an Acer Liquid E2 duo, which was *really* a good device), and I when I read the previous posts about call quality, I would say:

- the voice quality with the phone itself is correct for me, people didn't complain so far about not hearing me, and I can hear them relatively loud & clear

- the strange thing is that when I switch to my BT headset (which is a top quality Jabra headset), the quality is far lower than for my previous Acer (and people say they hardly hear me) - so I guess it's not simply the internal louspeaker / mic issue but should come from the SOC and/or analog software

- battery drain is an issue, I hardly go up to the end of the day (half capacity than for my previous Acer for the same usage !!), I don't understand why it decreases so quickly. I just noticed that email apps (whatever app: stock, gmail, K9.....) drained much more battery (~15% a day) [seems to be linked to IMAP sync]

- some annoying lags and bugs remain, in particular in the dialer (which often closes without reason), and the dual-sim management is quite poor

Apart of this, I'm quite happy with the phone (or.... try to be), I hope ZTE will release some fixes soon. BTW I didn't find any forum (except this thread) dedicated to the phone in XDA.

As explained in previous posts, only upgrade your phone to its regional equivalent, i.e. AU to AU, AS to AS, and EU to EU. Anything else and you will end up with a shiny brick. I don't think there is any update for the Australian version as yet.

And I found a autron file one the phone, with USB driver.

[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Uriens:
On B11 the biggest problem is caused by the kernel itself, mainly a wake lock called "cwmcu". This should be related to sensors or motion gestures (even if they are disabled) keeping the phone awake for a lot of time.

Since the kernel version on B12 is the same of B11, the battery drain should be more or less the same. The solution would be a custom kernel.

Have a look to the guide "[GUIDE]EXTREME BATTERY LIFE THREAD(GREENIFY+AMPLIFY+POWER NAP)", some optimizations can be done without Xposed and applicable to our phone as well (rooted).

There is no way of solving this problem. My phone was hardbricked a month ago. I've tried a lot of things, but to restore it failed. Perhaps ZTE will later release a firmware to install via nubia tools for models with the platform of the same generation, and we will get the necessary files.

Please all of you, have a look into this thread [PROJECT] Reviving Hard Bricked YU (QLoader 9008 Mode) !

And of course writing back my own backup to use my phone again...

My phone is in OLD"Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" MODE ((

But when restore the Samsung and many other phones, is often used a slightly different method. The memory dump obtained from a working phone, stored on the memory card using win 32 disk imager and this allows you to run the phone with the memory card, and after using HDD Raw Copy Tool to record dump in the memory of the phone itself. After only edit IMEI

But i need to have a dump made with another phone. The problem is that the HDD Raw Copy Tool is not detected other phone and doesn't want to make a backup of his memory. That's why I asked hybridA, as he was able to create backup.img

Be careful when using HDD-Raw-Copy-Tool this software can help you recover your phone, but it may corrupt the firmware.

That sounds like you can revive your phone.

I know it could be risky and I booted the phone in this mode some time ago, while I was trying different things.

So I get my phone into this mode and used the tool to write an image file of it.

Erase your partition, write it to your phone and change to your IMEI. Like it is stated in the thread I linked above.
