Exactly the one named on Twitter: ZTE_AS_Blade_S6V1.0.0B07

If you search a bit around here on the board you will see that SRS stated often that it could root a phone which it can't!
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] thomnow:
I was wondering if yours came with a newer build that's all - I've done a full reset including SD card and it seems to be running better. I realise the root thing might have been fake so quickly. Thanks for your help

Has anyone bought one in the UK yet on these forums and if so where from?

I'm waiting to pull the trigger but wanted to buy from a legit source. I can see them for sale on ebay... I guess with paypal it's pretty safe. Amazon UK have them but through a 3rd party seller.

camera issues / magnetic sensor

hi,

before ordering the S6, i would like to know if the last update (B10) fixes the camera issues reported by some sites? ex erratic focus during videos, or visible noise in snapshots (more noise than for other phones using the same Sony sensor).

Besides, does anyone knows if the S6 has a magnetic field sensor (compass) ?

many thanks
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] AdjePatatje:
The focus problem when shooting video still exists in B10

Didn't have problems with excessive noise. Only in dark scenes

Yes, the S6 has a real compass (not simulated). I use the S6 for navigation a lot, and it is great

[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] AdjePatatje:
Bluetooth / WiFi fix ?

...and I reallly hope there is a fix for the problem with Bluetooth where carkits (I have tried several) have sound issues (bad and garbled output / sound and sometimes no input sound / microphone). At present the only way I can resolve this issue is by switching off WiFi completely (reducing WiFi to 2.4Ghz does not work).
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Uriens:
No fix of the CPU frequencies, unfortunately. Same android version 5.0.2 and same kernel version 3.10.49 but dated March 31, 2015. After three updates we may say that they will never fix it..

I don't recognized what they changed yet but, again, the update fully wipes the phone so it is highlty recommended to use the ZTE backup/restore tool.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kingnappa:
I think I'll stick with B10 for now, for me is good (except for those two problems) :D

Hi Tom, thanks for your patience. The link to the latest B11 version SD card upgrade pack is here: http://www.ztedevice.com/support/smart_phone/10eac5ab-7cc1-4db6-96ae-6ae2536e320e.html n this SD card upgrade pack, there is a bootloader document named emmc_appsboot.mbn

No difference to tethering on 3 with the latest build. For bootloader I did try fastboot oem device-info but doesn't work. Also fastboot oem help and no supported commands unlike my old moto g. Would be interesting to know if it is unlocked. Assuming there is an easier way to find out as it doesn't show any text info on screen when in fastboot, but I don't really know what I'm doing with these things :p

Edit, also tried fastboot reboot and it still does nothing so assuming not much has changed?

I upgraded from B10 to B11 but haven't noticed any difference.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kingnappa:
At this point I really think that this updates are more a beta version, the version number doesn't increase, only the Bxx (B10, B11, B probably stand for Beta)...

I hope they will enable OTA updates intead of full wipe update. Or give us a Unlocked bootlader! Just my 2 cents.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] DoktorMabuse:
I dont think its beta, since this phone already getting sold for More than 1 month now. I guess the B stands for Build.. Anyway an unlocked bootloader would be nice.

Yesterday i updated to B11, but also didnt notice any changes or new features.

If anyone's interested....I'm selling my Blade S6 Plus on eBay UK for £160 plus postage. Only had it a few days...it's a great phone but just a little too big for me. I'm happy with my S6. My username on eBay is the same as on here.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Uriens:
I don't know if it is normal and/or useful to someone but I discovered by chance that using the Android app "FTP Server" and PC program "Filezilla" it is possible to access to the system folders from PC using Wi-Fi connection, attached a screenshot.

I configured the app "FTP Server" to access the basic root folder of the phone.

I have not tried to modify or delete files so maybe is read access only.

[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] iainmann:
Yes it does. But the ZTE BackUp and Restore app on the phone is pretty good. It restores all settings, Texts, wallpaper and apps. You'll have to layout your homescreens but that's about it.

It's all explained in the PDF document that comes with the update.

Successful FIX FOR TETHERING ON THREE.... a very helpful person on hukd saw somebody post this somewhere on xda forums. It is very easy to do and I can finally tether.

(copied and pasted from the hukd user)

Download installer_r24.1.2-windows.exe from here:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Other

Then follow this guide:

http://xda-forum.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/lollipop-and-tethering.html

In short, you need to run adb shell from your PC with your phone connected in USB debugging mode, then run the following command from within the shell:

settings put global tether_dun_required 0

That's it - tethering should work now.

Reboot randomly

Hi,

I have an issue with my ZTE Blade S6 phone. It reboots randomly 2 or 3 times a week when it's on standby. I had this issue with the B10 firmware. I updated to the B11 last Sunday but the issue is still present. I did a factory reset after the firmware upgrade, updated the pre-installed apps and restore my apps backup that I did before the firmware upgrade (using the ZTE tool). I switch off my phone every night.

I don't know if these crashes are caused by the firmware, android or maybe an app. Do you know if there are some log in the phone where I can found the cause of these crashes or a way to investigate this issue? Is someone experiencing the same issue?

Many thanks for your help.

Factory reset did the job well.

Unfortunately, I have to setup all my accounts(email, dropbox, google etc) and bluetooth connections as ZTE backup didn't backup these settings.

Root, root is needed as titanium backup can do even these things.

Anyway, I think there is very low sound volume transmitted do bluetooth HF. Does it exist some tweak to increase volume transmision on BT.

Even internal loudspeaker is too low IMHO. It is absolutely no match to my previous ZTE V5 - it literally tear my ear on highest volume.

2. download supersu.apk on my S6

5. install kingroot.apk and execute it to gain root.
