Different regions of the firmware ZTE Blade S6

I will try to accurately translate my post on 4pda

The list of countries for which the firmware are available with different regions.

Region AS:

Russia

Hong Kong

Malaysia

Philippines

Cambodia

Region EU:

Greece

Germany

United Kingdom

Denmark

Sweden

Region ES:

Spain

Region NOS:

Portugal

Region EG:

Egypt

Kuwait

Region SG:

Singapore

Region THA:

Thailand

For Mainland China, there are 3 types of regions with firmware TV, UV, CV:

TV - China Mobile

UV - China Unicom

CV - such as an international version of the device, but with restrictions for China, in theory it has to go firmware AS, but this information has not been verified.

Unidentified countries:

Italy

Japan

Australia (presumably AU)

India

This list includes some, in which countries ZTE Blade S6 officially presented and which regions are used in the firmware.

[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] fortek_4pda:
Public version will be available for free over time. Access to the beta version have only those who paid "premium". Premium - is the motivation for the creation of the firmware. Wait, you will soon be able to use the full version.

Just does not make sense to ask for personal messages from the premium user firmware. All have been warned in advance.

Could someone who purchased the premium Version please tell, if the battery performance has increased compared to stock rom? proximity sensor does it work good? I noticed on my phone the loud speaker gets enabled sometimes even if i keep the phone on my ear.. i dunno if its the fault of zte rom or more fault of my personal phone. Btw. Im on AS B12

Changes in B15

Hello

i have installated the rusian adapted b15. It only worked with TWRP and wipe the davlink cache.

I found out, that I also have H+ Network now on my phone. I only had G E 3G and 4G before.

Translation to german is better as well.

Kind regards

In the next update - fix memory will be, buttons and wi-fi to work on the hardware level. The patch on the Wi-Fi is on the level of init.d script for the moment. Needs time to rebuild a virtual machine Ubuntu, because 100GB me was not enough. After a week will work cyanogen, these updates will apply only to the core - will cut wakelockes remaining from ZTE and messing with the processor cores optimized to work.

Nothing you can do. Your next stop is service centre.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] zte s6:
I've had the exact same issue. I upgraded the firmware 6 months ago without any issues. Emails would not sync and battery life started to get really bad in the last few weeks so decided to try and upgrade the firmware.

I downloaded the official update (15) from ZTE's , followed their official instructions and my phone has now black screened!

Eremini - by service centre you mean the customer support line in your own country (uk in my case) 0203 450 8722 .

What are they likely to do? Replace? Is there nothing I can do myself? I have full copies of the memory and SD cards backed up. Any thoughts, experience or advice would really help calm me down right now.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] melor777:
Yes, he meant - customer support (technician local official store ). Just the Russian language this is called the service center :)

Unfortunately, nobody else here can not help you, only - customer support (warranty repair). At this problem it is necessary to change the motherboard. Or wait until lay out in shared engineering (service) firmware, that generally may never happen.

Boot Loop CM12

Hi there. Registered for the premium version of the CM12 image - flashed it this morning and all I'm getting is a boot loop. See the ZTE logo, screen goes black, phone buzzes and back to the start again. Anyone else experienced this?

Bought in Britain

I bought a zte blade s6 from very the catalogue store for my wife to stop her driving me mad because she couldn't decide on one for herself, the price was £150 the camera is 13megapixels front and 5megapixels and the battery last I day of constant use, a likes it a lot as my life is quieter, it's a good gone for the money
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] zte s6:
Thanks for the response. I contacted ZTE, they were not interested, they don't support or repair their own products apparently. They also asked me to email their technical department to explain to them that there might be an issue with their latest software release :rolleyes:

I have sent a note to gearbest customer support, see what their response will be. notice that gearbest no longer stock this phone so I wonder what their resolution will be....
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] theukcrazyhorse:
So, still not working. I've booted to TWRP, done a factory reset, flashed the CM12 ROM then done a Dalvik reset - still getting the boot loop. See the ZTE logo, black screen, buzz then restart. I've flashed CM onto other phones before, but I'm lost here.

The phone is rooted - was originally done with Kingroot, but I removed that for SuperSU - and TWRP V2.8.7.0 is installed and appears to working fine... certainly I can boot to it and reflash a backup to get the phone working again.

Anyone any ideas?

Hello,

I'm using the Turkcell T60 variant of this phone. I tried to flash Twrp but it looks like it wasn't suitable for my phone and I couldn't flash it. Somehow I managed to return to the stock recovery but when I enter the recovery mode, screen begins to freaking out. All screen is shaking all over the place and I can hardly see anything. It looks like functions are working but I cant do anything because I cant see anything. Is there anything I can do for this situation? Thanks

Hi,

Had my S6 for 8 months now without any probems, until today, to be exact.

I updated the S6 via SD update to B15, the phone restarted, came half way through the update and then turned off....

I tried holding the power button for as long as 1 minute at a time, holding power and volume up, but none of those things help.

Do you know any other method to force-boot the phone, or it just bricked itself?

:(
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] eremini:
It is bricked.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] theukcrazyhorse:
So I checked the box to verify the zip file and tried flashing it again - fails with error "e: zip signature verification failed 1". Not sure if this is why it isn't flashing properly? Can anyone one here confirm that they've been able to flash forteks CM12 ROM?
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] zte s6:
I had exactly the same problem. There is nothing ZTE can do (or are willing to do) - if you bought it through a telephone carrier you might be best contacting them. I bought the phone outright from China so its going back to them tomorrow. It's a scandal in my opinion that a phone company can release a faulty release on their own official website that breaks phones then takes no responsibility for it!
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] SachaFroment:
Hi,

I would like to know if someone has found a way to install apps not only in the rom partition, but also in the user storage partition. I know that the australian rom has mixed up the two partitions into one so that it makes a 9-10go partition on which we can install and copy any file or app. If someone could port the australian version onto the asian model, it would be a real relief.

Regards.

Hey Team,

Anyone know where I can get a copy of the original (or updated) AU firmware? I got a bit trigger happy and deleted a couple of apps - turns out they were system apps. Cant reinstall them (I have tried) and the new OTA update doesnt work. Creates a mismatched package. Any help would be awesome!! :D:D:D
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] SachaFroment:
search this : "blade S6 last update" on google, first link ( i'm not allowed to post links yet :)

you have to download the first file, it's a zip file in which there is a manual and the latest firmware
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] fwoar:
Thanks man, but this is the AS (Asia) file. Australia has a different version as we had no partition installed on the memory. I believe everyone else got 4/4/8 where as we got straight access 16gb.

I need the actual /system files for the Australian one.

And then probably a way of flashing it... ha.

Whoohooooh!

Phone is delivered today, after ordering last Saturday, so on the fourth working day! Actually received the DHL Shipping info AFTER the arrival of the phone today :)

Setting it up right now, but the phone feels like a solid phone and the 720p on 5" really surprises me in a good way! Have used a Nexus 5 for a while and this one is equally readable. So far, so good.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ties(to):
Hi,

I placed my order last Saturday and send them a message asking when they expect to ship from EU warehouse, I received the answer "The item 117885101 you requested is not in stock right now. Since our provider is on holiday now, there will be in stock around 7 business days. Would you mind waiting for it or would you want to exchange or get refund?" same day, I attached the rest of the conversation.

Today DHL was at my home already to deliver but unfortunately I was not at home :crying: so now it will be delivered tomorrow :victory:!

Unfortunately I overlooked that the Android version installed doesn't have Dutch / Nederlands language (seems to be normal for ZTE devices) but hopefully there will be a custom ROM in the near future, otherwise it's a good thing for my English language :angel: ...

I will share my experiences with Gearbest and Blade S6 later, probable Saturday / Sunday.

[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mangraviti:
Give me the good news.

Any progress in rooting this device?

I have bought the phone but still haven't used it. I simply cannot use Android without AdBlock Plus and Adaway. Plus I want full control of my SD card. What was Google thinking when they removed the writing feature on Lollipop? Are they high on drugs or something?

The guys from SRSRoot removed their tweet about the S6 being rooted. They have it on their page as "tested" but that's about it. I tested it myself too. And so did many users here in this forum. And it doesn't work.

I might open the phone to see how's this battery. I am not very happy with its size and amperage. Maybe a custom made battery will give it some extra hours of life. That was a silly move by ZTE. An octacore at 1.5 gHz with the lack of the option of having a second battery? What were they thinking?

---------- Post added at 05:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 AM ----------

They don't sell it there yet. As soon as they release a model that is compatible with your LTE frequency, the phone will be sold in the US. At the moment all the frequencies this phone is capable of are not the ones used there. Sit back and wait. It will come soon.

You can buy one if you want. But you won't have any connectivity away from a wifi hotspot.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kingnappa:
The problem is not the battery, the real problem is the actual kernel, which doesn't use low frequencies on this phone and when is not in deep sleep start at 900 mhz instead (for example, at 200 mhz).

For the access to the sd card ZTE is not the only one having this problem, even some HTC's can't write directly to the SD. BTW my "old" Moto g 2014 can write to the sd without asking permission first, so I think is more a software feature missing.
[ZTE Blade S6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jbeavon:
Is anybody else having problems with the network dropping off and refusing to come back on until the phone is restarted?

Hi,

Received my Blade S6 yesterday at 11.30, asked DHL to deliver to my neighbors and they gave timetable 11.00-15.00 so perfect service! So actually placed order on Gearbest website last week Saturday and delivery from German warehouse in Hamburg last Thursday, I would say NOT BAD AT ALL :good:!

My Blade S6 came out-of-the-box with Android version 5.0 Kernel version 3.10.49 (zte@scl_xa241_108#1 / Mon Feb 2 11:12:35 CST 2015) and Build number ZTE_AS_Blade_S6V1.0.0B07...I didn't insert SIM card yet but for the rest all seems to be OK so far, only strange thing is that phone rebooted itself around 5 times yesterday evening, anyone else noticed the same?

Going for the update "275130B1196ZTE_AS_Blade_S6V1.0.0B08" in an hour, if this f#cking ZTE website will cooperate with downloading the new software :confused:!

Hi again,

I'm on Android version 5.0.2 Kernel version 3.10.49 (zte@scl_xa241_108#1 / Mon Feb 10 20:57:57 CST 2015) and Build number ZTE_AS_Blade_S6V1.0.0B08 now, I wanted to fully switch over from my old phone to my new Blade S6 but Nano-SIM needed and I only have Micro-SIM :eek:!!!

Anyway, I tested GPS on the old version (ZTE_AS_Blade_S6V1.0.0B07) and it's really amazing compared to my last 3 phones with MTK chipset, I want to use it for tracking of my running and cycling workouts so I've chosen for a Snapdragon chipset this time because of Glonass instead of only GPS...first test is positive (continuously over 10 satellites fix and over 20 satellites in view) but going out for a 115 min. workout today, hopefully after that still positive about accuracy and battery.

After I'd rooted my phone using Kingroot, I downloaded TWRP from the forum link above and flashed it using Flashify on my Blade S6. Worked without any issue. You can then replace Kingroot with SuperSU. (Link below)
