I think you will get a bootloop.would be the same result as with cm12.1,therefor you flash the EU kernel afterwards.

If you have the tools to split the boot.img inside the zip,than just replace with EU kernel and dt.img,repack and replace the boot.img or flash it after flashing the ZIP and you should ready to go...

I also used original AS kernel and dt.img from B12

Added AU and EU boot image files to my previous post.

My Android Zte blade s6 wont turn on or charge

I bought this zte blade s6 a year ago when it was launched , it has worked perfectly till now , but now battery came to 0% and it shut down , i came home to charge it and it wont charge ,usually the blue lite in the center circle would turn blue when charging and the screen would show the zte logo first and then the battery charging on the screen , but now it is not doing anything ,

i know this if the phone was on and i would have put it on charging it would charge but now when i am put it on charge nothing happening , tried it with other chargers and even with my laptop , any help will be appreciated.

Tried the pressing of volume up + Power button to get it open in recovery mode , nothing happened .

as battery in not removable , i cannot remove it and put it back again .

any suggestion is appreciated . an zte official email address if any one know about it .
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lightwars:
Hi Adge40,

this could be true, that the S7 files messed up something. I believe you don't flashed the stock b15 zip from zte, right? Please try this: make a backup just in case, restore your backup of stock b15 and then flash attached zip also in twrp right after the restore, reboot and try out wifi and bluetooth. Hope this will help you.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Adge40:

[MENTION=3076261]lightwars[/MENTION] where can I get a full stock rom? I'm Australia, full flat position layout
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lightwars:
I'm afraid that zte AU doesn't release any stock rom to the public. They just mentioned that a M01 release is available through fota, which is no help for you I think. Try contact the support and ask for the full update.zip of that release. If you get this release, please provide it for other users.

The user andyle2k just provided a system.img of the AU variant...

If you can live with any other firmware like the EU B15 or AS B12 for example, than I might be possible to pack a firmware, maybe this is also interesting for people, who want to use the stock rom, while using the partition mod to get the same full flat partition layout like you.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Heathciff:
Ok I'll try but also I downloaded something from ZTE that's titled 2015060214044127.zip which I believe to be a B0x of some sort. Can you confirm this

---------- Post added at 01:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 PM ----------

Ok actually I opened it and there was an update.zip so I extracted that and it's a full firmware I think you would flash through stock recovery. The build.prop says it's ZTE_ES_Blade_S6V1.0.0B05 and under locale.region it also states ES. Can I use this?
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lightwars:
You should not do this with stock recovery and the stock zip.Because user,who flashed a different stock rom to their devices other than their variant ended with a bricked device.

For example AS variant and EU stock rom,result is a brick.

Some parts seems to be different in the many device variants. You can modify the zip to install it the safer way through twrp,but you also mentioned,you had the full flat layout,which this rom will likely not have.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Heathciff:


---------- Post added at 09:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 PM ----------

Oh okay, can I modify it to just install the system partition through Twrp? Or is the flat partition in the way?
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lightwars:
Yes, you can do this. The flat partition is not really in the way, but you could encounter some storage access problems. For example the camera could say, that you do not have any internal storage or any other app could do this.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Heathciff:
Ok, so I'm not doing that. The problem I'm having is the Google play services aren't working (my fault) and I thought I'd just do a whole system partition install, but now no. Is there any way I can flash something to completely reinstall all Google apps?

---------- Post added at 08:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 AM ----------

Also, are Google play services and Google play store meant to come up under downloaded apps?
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Heathciff:
Actually never mind, how can I flash the stock recovery? And more importantly, where can I find it?

Weak WiFi Signal

Are there any users that experience a weak WiFi signal with the ZTE Blade S6? I checked the settings and it does not seem to be software related.

xtwifilp wakelock draining battery

Hi,

For some days ago I had a battery drain issue. There are a lot of xtwifilp wakelocks happening on my phone. Leaving the screen switched off during several hours, then I can see in betterbatterystats that the phone was not in deep sleep mode but awake. I didn't install new applications, just normal update of the existing ones. I tried to disable the wifi location even if the wifi is off option, wipe the cache data and restart the phone without success. Is someone has an idea of what's causing this big amount of xtwifilp wakelocks and can help me to fix it?

I'm using the AS B12 firmware.

I have added screenshots of betterbatterystats and wakelock detector.

Many thanks for your help.

Battery drain solved

Hi,

I finaly solved the issue by deleting all caches and data of the following applications:

- Google application

- Google play services

- Google play store

I also uninstalled the updates of these applications, then allowed android to update these application. Restarted the phone and the wakelock and battery drain have disappeared now.

I don't know how long it will be OK. Wait and see...

I've fixed this by opening the phone and cleaning GPS antenna contacts. The antennas are located on the plastic cover around the camera. There are 3 screws holding it down. I cleaned the contacts on the phone and on the cover and also pulled them a little upwards so they make a better contact.

Maybe you have the same issue.

Dialer issues

I own the Blade S6 for about a year and happy with most things but issues with the dialer seem to increase. Has anyone had these issues and found a fix for them?

Missed call issues: when I miss call, the screen typically stays on, draining my battery. When I then try to call back I get the message "Call unanswered and forwarded". Killing dialer process from the task manager usually works to get it fixed. Very annoying.

Sudden mute: when I am on the phone suddenly the phone turns into mute so people don't hear me anymore. This may be caused by the screen turning on and me unwilingly pressing the button with my cheek, but I don't know. This shouldn't happen in any case. When trying to unmute the screen flashes on and off, basically preventing me to turn off mute. Only fix is to hang up and dial again.

Can't hang up: this bug has occured a couple of times quite recently. When I have been in a conference call and try to hang up, the phone icon in the upper status bar is gone. Opening the dialer does not bring me back in the screen to hang up. Rather, it gives an option to join the call again, but nothing happens. Tried to kill several processes, including the dialer, but no other cure found than to hang up the phone.

Hanging alltogether. During a call (but also without calling) the screen goes black and does not wake up again. Sometimes it seems the phone still works because my bluetooth seems to remain connected to my smartwatch. However, I also experienced a total hang where the conversation got ended and I had to force a reboot.

SIM choice gone. I have read this in one other post: when I dial number and the choice screen for SIM1 or SIM2 appears it disappears after a second or so. A retry usually succeeds, but annoying anyhow.

The issues seem to occur most on SIM1, but I am not sure. Trying to reproduce them only works on SIM1.

These issues really start to annoy me and I am really considering buying another phone. I have been searching Google a lot for these issues but have not found anyone experiencing them. I am using the AS version with latest B12 stock rom. Phone is not rooted and I have already tried to do a factory reset and a complete reinstall of rom, including a wipe of the cache. No improvement.

Would flashing the modified B15 EU version for AS posted elsewhere in this thread fix it?

Hope someone can help.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] eis0r:

Hi,

I have a quick question. What's the best app ops application for the ZTE Blade S6?

I'm using this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.findsdk.apppermission. But, I cannot see the possibility to deny the "wake up" permission for Google Play Services to reduce the battery drain. Maybe it's not possible on Android 5.0.

Thanks for your answers

[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] DutchF:
EDIT: Meanwhile reinstalled original AS rom. The B15 rom had video issues: camera did not record, movies didn't play (e.g. facebook) and no thumbnails available in gallery. You could still try what I outlined below, but make sure you have a full backup to restore to!

Meanwhile I have successfully installed the modded B15 ROM. At first glance it seems it solved my dialer issues (need to use the phone a bit longer to make sure). The only thing I noticed is that I have issues with video playback in my gallery and on Facebook. Also, my camera refuses to record videos. Still looking for a solution.

For those who like to try installing the custom ROM, I followed the following steps (note I come from non-rooted, stock ROM B12 AS):

Backup any data and apps you have (you can use built in backup/restore app and restore on the new ROM)

Download and install Kingroot and root the phone

Download and install Flashify

Download the B15 ROM that is modified for AS phone and put it in SD card root

Backup current recovery using Flashify

Download TWRP custom recovery for ZTE Blade S6 (see elsewhere in this forum) and flash it using Flashify

Start Android in recovery mode (Volume up + power on when starting phone)

Backup stock ROM using TWRP

Wipe cache using TWRP (otherwise an error occurs on installation). Note this can take a LONG time! Don't do anything. Just wait...

Install new B15 ROM using TWRP

Make sure to do a cache wipe and factory reset again after installation to prevent any errors

Configure phone and restore any backups.

Note I made this list afterwards, from the top of my head, so I may have missed some details.

[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lightwars:
In the new Trwp version 3.0.2 you can directly flash the stock recovery image. Otherwise grab the recovery zip from konsta at the modaco forum and replace the recovery inside the zip withe the stock one,then flash the zip.

After flashing just reboot to recovery and you can flash the stock rom. You will lose the rooting methode via twrp by flashing the stock recovery...

If you are a advanced user you could also modifiy the stock rom to be flashable with twrp.

If you don't have backed up your stovk recovery beforehand. You could ask here some to upload it. But we have to know which regional version your device is. Otherwise flashing stock rom won't work or might end in non expected results...

Another way is to use the boot image from stock rom and transform it into recovery with apply patch. Like the stock rom does it to update recovery.
