[Android General] Durreau:
hi, im from venezuela and follow the thread in many forums. I heard that somebody request the kernel source to zte, but not have response. Well, i have the answer:

"Linux kernel is released under GPLv2 license and they are legally obligated to provide the source code. Failing to do this is a breach of contract and it can have severe legal implications. Companies this size, and that operate on markets with well-established legal systems, do realize this. While I'm not overall pleased how ZTE manages this, it's not by far the worst company in this business. They have an open source site and company github account (for Nubia line of devices). Generally the problem seems to be in communication and getting the message through.

ZTE tends to release kernel sources for 'families' of devices, which means several devices can build from the same source. They've already released several msm8226 kernel sources and at least 'ZTE Blade Vec 4G Kitkat kernel(3.4.x) source code' also includes a defconfig for Apex 2 (P892E10)."

here is the link to that kernel, so feel free to use it for making custom roms (download.ztedevice.com/uploadfiles/copyright/mobilephones/ZTE_Blade_Vec_4G/ZTE_Blade_Vec_4G_P892D30_KK_34x.kernel.tar.gz - copy& paste in the browser) . Thanks for Konstat from the Modaco Forum for the answer and the info.
[Android General] megamejo:
Yeah its a very good info im very happy forma this new.

Good work friend.

But i have a question if we can compile custom roms with the source of the Blade Vec 4G,

Can we install his custom roms and his recoverys?
[Android General] Durreau:
Well, I suppose that first test compiling a full working recovery (ClockworkMod/TWRP), and test it. When verify that works flawlessly and work for flash the supersu to root the device, move to the next step: port a cyanogenmod rom (11 or 12).

Another Question: You speak spanish? is more easy for me to write in that language...
[Android General] megamejo:
The zte support now finnaly release the source code for the ápex 2 they send me an email that confirm the info

Yes im speak it very good, move to this thread to speek freely in spanish

Now check here youll find our kernel it the first one!
[Android General] Eduardo3107:
Greetings friends, with the release of esek Root kernel process is provided on the ZTE Balde APEX2? I'm from Venezuela to the company Digitel and B01 version of the software. Another thing future updates will have ??? Lollipop?:confused::confused::confused:
[Android General] megamejo:
I think it will work with your firmware

Lollipop will work only if someone decide to compile cyanogenmod or sometheing else like that.
[Android General] Eduardo3107:
Thanks for your answer, then how would the correct and effective procedure for Root ????:good:
[Android General] megamejo:
When our frend [MENTION=6163676]Algesat[/MENTION] compile the twrp or someone else, when that happens we will can flash the supersu from the custom recovery.

https://mega.co.nz/#!FhVT1KYR!qA_p8UfUi0wI_OZhXo8E86nMRHtFoR4eESckdrMk2RM

To have the perma-root you need to install the first app (Root1_original) , then open it and press "root". After it finish, check the root with some root app (root checker is the best). Now, uninstall the root1 and install the second app (root2_original). Open it and press " root". Check another time if you have root, so if it positive reboot the phone, if not uninstall all and repeat the procedure replacing the root1_original with one of the copy. If there some problem feel you free to ask.
[Android General] RubiGno99:
Brick.

I had some problem with gapp, so i decided to flash gapps.zip with flashgordon. Result: brick. Now i can only use the recovery. I tried to wipe all but nothing. I'm very unlucky :(
[Android General] megamejo:
Im too dont trust un it but we havent any thing eslse wait the twrp is conpiled by some developer. It will probably break your root :(
[Android General] RubiGno99:
if you uninstall baidu you lose the root. If you try to grant root access to SuperSu (or superuser) then uninstall baidu, you also lose root. (i tried this when i haven't bricked yet)
[Android General] megamejo:
You have restored your phone?
[Android General] RubiGno99:
no, but i can send it to assistance by TIM's Shop. tomorrow i'm going to a place that could have zte assistance.
[Android General] Algesat:
Same device, the Orange telecom has bought the blade apex 2 to re-sell it as a own phone (branded phone).

The root procedure is exactly the same for both devices.

And for the flash part.

You can flash the recovery.img or fastboot.img from the app FLASHIFY, it will force the flash.
[Android General] Algesat:
You can RE-FLASH stock firmware from recovery, then re-root the device.

Start in recovery img (VOL UP + POWER).

Select "Apply update from ADB"

Plug the USB cable to the computer.

Copy Update.zip to where you have adb (if you dont have the path in environmental variables)

Open Command Prompt (Windows Key + R, type "cmd" (without quotes) and press enter).

Change directory where you copied update.zip.

Type "adb sideload update.zip" (again, no quotes, and press enter).

It will send the update to the phone, and the recovery will check signature and reflash the phone.

DONT INSTALL GAPPS.ZIP

P.D. If your device has not been rebranded, you can flash the generic update.zip.

There's an extract from /system/build.prop from the Colombia Movistar blade apex 2, check your build.prop to see if the data matches (if matches, you will be able to flash it from recovery):
[Android General] RubiGno99:
My phone is re-branded by TIM, but i don't know i can i see the build.prop

ok, i see a guide that say how to get build.prop
[Android General] megamejo:
Try to edit the update.zip of orange hi device extracting de update.zip to a folder and edit the /sistem/build.prop then repack repack and resign the update.zip and flash it from adb sideload

Note: if you dont know how to sign a ROM search how to do im google
[Android General] RubiGno99:
ADB won't to detect the phone. Every time that i Input "adb devices" give me a empty list.
[Android General] Algesat:
You have to enable de USB Depuration in Developer options.

Go to Settings menu -> Phone Info and tap 10 times on Compilation Number (last option in the menu),

It will say you "Now you are a developer".

Go back to Settings Menu and tap on Developer Options.

Enable the USB Debugging.

Now connect your USB Cable, the computer will install the ADB phone driver.

The computer will be able now to see the ADB DEVICES.
[Android General] Algesat:
It will not work.

Since he has the stock recovery, only update packages signed with the right certificate and key will be installable.
[Android General] RubiGno99:
I can't turn on the phone but i remenber that i enable USB debugging.

And yes, i have the originale recovery.
[Android General] bubboo:

Ciao, anch'io ho un blade apex2 brandizzato TIM e vorrei ottenere i permessi di root. Ho seguito tutta la discussione, però non ho capito quale sia il metodo migliore da provare per rootare il mio terminale. Per favore potresti dirmi quale provare?:)

Ciao [MENTION=6095019]samu_cappe[/MENTION]. Oggi non posso ma domani posso ricaricare il pacchetto e spiegarti come fare.
[Android General] RubiGno99:
https://mega.co.nz/#!FhVT1KYR!qA_p8UfUi0wI_OZhXo8E86nMRHtFoR4eESckdrMk2RM

Ciao. Per avere il root permanente devi avere:

- il pacchetto di root (sopra il link)

- root cheker (disponibile su play store)

- un gestore di file (consiglio Es Gestore file)

Per prima cosa estrai gli apr. Poi installa root1_originale. Apri l'app e premi su "root". Quando finisce controlla di avere i permessi tramite root cheker. Ora disinstalla la prima app e installa root2_original. Aprila e premi nuovamente su "root". Dopo questo controlla di possedere i permesso di root. Se li hai riavvia il telefono, e alla prima accensione baidu (l'app che hai usato per il root) diventerà di sistema e servirà per concedere o negare i permessi (come SuperSu o Superuser). Se invece non hai i permessi, disinstallare tutto e prova a sostituire le appari da installare con le rispettive copie (root2_copy). Riesegui le stesse procedure anche con le copie.

Spero di esserti stato d'aiuto. Sentiti libero di chiedere

The same procedure is already translated first.
[Android General] samu_cappe:
Grazie, ora provo, poi ti so dire

---------- Post added at 09:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 AM ----------

Con Titanium si potrebbe fare un backup del firmware?
[Android General] RubiGno99:
Non lo so proprio. Non ho mai provato. Ma, ti consiglio una cosa: esegui le operazioni indicate nel primo post prima di fare qualche errore come me (il mio l'ho brickato).

I don't know. I never tried it. But I suggest to you to do the first post procedure to evade the brick.
[Android General] samu_cappe:
Scusa, non ho capito, sul primo post si parla di fastboot e root, cosa dovrei fare?:confused:
[Android General] RubiGno99:
Nel primo post [MENTION=6163676]Algesat[/MENTION] spiega come avere un recovery sbloccato per flashare tutto ciò che si vuole

In the first post [MENTION=6163676]Algesat[/MENTION] explain how to get a unlocked recovery where you can flash whatever you want
[Android General] samu_cappe:
Ok
[Android General] samu_cappe:
Scusa l'ignoranza, ma see ho già ottenuto i permessi rischio di brickare se entro in fastboot?

But if I have my device already rooted, can I get in fastboot mode anyway?
[Android General] RubiGno99:
No. Non puoi. Il recovery è a parte e io non avevo il fast boot sbloccato (esperienza personale)

No. You can't. The recovery doesn't depend with root. When it was bricked i didn't have the fastboot unlocked (personal experience)
[Android General] samu_cappe:
Quindi cosa pensi dovrei fare?

So, what do you think I should do?
[Android General] RubiGno99:
Devi fare questo (ho tolto la parte che non importa)

You need to do this (i removed the pointless part)
[Android General] samu_cappe:
Ok, domani pomeriggio ci provo.
[Android General] samu_cappe:
è lo stesso se lo faccio con il firmware italiano?

Is it the same if I do this with italian firmware?
[Android General] RubiGno99:
Dovrebbe essere lo stesso poiché l' Hi Orange 4G è identico per tutto e in tutto al Tim Blade Apex2 4G, ma cambia solo il brand.

It should be the same because the Hi Orange 4G is identical than Tim Blade Apex2 4G, but the only thing that change is the brand.

[Android General] samu_cappe:
Backup con Titanium?
[Android General] RubiGno99:
Backup del firmware con ciò che vuoi.

Backup of firmware with everything you want.
[Android General] samu_cappe:
Scusami, ma ci sono ancora cose che non ho ancora capito, ad esempio una volta entrato in fastboot mode come faccio a flashare la recovery linkata nel procedimento? Perché c'è scritto di usare i comandi del fastboot ma io non so quali sono. Poi, dopo aver flashato la recovery devo flashare anche il firmware sempre linkato nelle istruzioni?

I'm sorry but there are a few things that i didn't understand yet, for example when I get in fastboot what do I have to do to flash the recovery which is linked on the instructions? Because it's written to use fastboot commands but I don't know them. Then, when I've flashed the recovery should I have to flash also the firmware linked on the instructions?
[Android General] RubiGno99:

Restore firmware and modding

Hi

I'd really like to mod my phone, so I found out an app, Pimp my Rom which can help with some useful tweaks for example some of these can improve audio, photos, touch screen and a lot of other things. So I'd like to try it, but first i need a restore firmware because I don't want to take my phone in a specialized centre. So can anyone help me?
[Android General] RubiGno99:
Have you got the Tim Blade Apex2? Because there's the firmware of orange Hi 4g that is the same phone but I don't know the different. I think that there aren't any important different.
[Android General] samu_cappe:
yes, i've got the tim one
[Android General] RubiGno99:
Me too. I don't know how to backup the firmware. I'd like to do this, so if somebody tell me how to do I'm going to do.
[Android General] samu_cappe:
I need the firmware flashable via PC because if i brick i can restore it, but i don't know how to do this. Otherwise i could do a backup of my firmware in a zip file so i can flash it by recovery, but i don't know if it's the same of the first thing
[Android General] RubiGno99:
If you have the firmware zip of your phone you can flash it by adb or by recovery. And if you have it please share it via Mega.
[Android General] samu_cappe:
i have to do it, can you do it? because i've got so a bad connection and i'd take ages to upload the firmware
[Android General] RubiGno99:
Tell me how to do the backup and i'll upload it soon i can.
[Android General] samu_cappe:
i think you should use Online Android Backup
[Android General] RubiGno99:
I'm going to have a look

---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 PM ----------

It's a ordinary app that i can download from play store?
[Android General] RubiGno99:
However i tried Pimp My Rom and it's such as Gravity box and 3C toolbox. I suggest to use it because my phone became a bullet train after the correct mod. I haven't noticed yet that the battery life decrese, but my battery life is so short (like an iphone).
[Android General] samu_cappe:
I also tried Pimp my Rom and i got better performaces. There are still other options to improve our device, such as BRAVIA engine or Beats Audio, but a custom recovery is required.
[Android General] RubiGno99:
Nobody made a costum recovery.

I made a nandroid backup but with my data. And i don't now how to refrash it.

We haven't had the original firmware yet.
[Android General] RubiGno99:
I have used GravityBox, 3C ToolBox and Pimp My Rom and I haven't had problem yet, so you can.
[Android General] RubiGno99:
I don't know. Try to search a guide and tell us, or directly do it.
[Android General] RubiGno99:
I tried to obtain the firmware from ZTE, but they didn't want to give me.
[Android General] RubiGno99:
Because i'd like to have the firmware for use it if i brick the phone.
[Android General] RubiGno99:
I don't recommend to uninstall system apps, i suggest to freeze the apps using Titanium Backup or LinktoSD. Titanium is better. But you need the Pro Version (see below). Good bye

Download here:

http://www6.zippyshare.com/v/42457310/file.html

Because if the system apps have some file that use also other apps you can have some problem when you uninstall it. And you can't go back when you uninstall a system apps.

Third: i'm avaible to try it. The ZTE have already released the firmwares but there are different firmware for region. I suggest to work on the global or european. (i'll add the list after i found it)
