If you, somehow, can get twrp back on your phone, then your problems are over.

But I don't think you will be able to.

If you phone is still rooted, even if the system cannot boot, you may be able to get ADB shell to work and install twrp.

Let us know if you manage it.

Cheers

Thank you very much

Sorry, the adb shell does not workC:\android-sdk\platforms>adb shell

[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Yes I don't think you can get it.

But just for curiosity

Go to your recovery, wait for about 5 minutes.

Now try adb again

Also try going to side load, adb should be at least recognised, like "adb devices".....Device = side load

Or something like this.

I just want to make sure adb is or not dead from the stock recovery, I can't remember.

[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Wow.....

No,no,no mate.

You will never be able to side load or to flash the stock lollipop ROM as it is now. This is because your phone thinks it has android marshmallow in it.

- try side loading aboot 5.zip. you'll likely get a signature error.

But If it works, you problem is solved..... Flash the Stock L ROM (b03 or b04), boot system, root and install twrp then follow all the instructions in my needrom page or read again the OP post for more details

- does "adb shell" work from the sideload screen? I doubt but you can try. If it works you can install twrp again and your problem is solved.

- try side loading the stock M ROM(unmodified, from the zte chine website, I can give you the link) if you phone is b2015 all should work. If your phone is b2016 there will be no SIM card working, unfortunately, and you can't flash the modem without root.....You will never be able to root it (at least that is what I know so far) and the languages are only Chinese and English and apps like morelocale2 won't work without root.

But at least you would have a phone.

Try these and let us know. I just want to understand a bit more about what happened to you.

[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Did you try the b12 or. B13 stock M ROM?

I think may be only zte can help you now.

The problem is that you did everything well until the installation of twrp.

You must have flashed a stock zte ROM without removing the recovery from it first.

If you flash any stock ROM it re-installs the stock recovery in your phone, then you can only flash signed zip files and the aboot5.zip isn't.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Kouhei77:
I tried it.

The result was the same

I think so, too

I will call ZTE's support

thank you very much
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Yes please do it,

but just for your information, the STOCK (unmodified MROM) is here (zte website)

http://www.ztedevice.com.cn/support/detail?id=3A7860F280EB4782ABD4AC3B01F8CE6C

any of the "clean" roms ARE MODIFIED (with the recovery removed), and therefore wouldn't pass through the signature check and cannot be flashed via stock recovery.

Regards
[ZTE Axon Pro] Kouhei77:
thank you very much

I tried two files

It was a disappointing result that the phone will reset at 30 to 40%

I called ZTE support today.

It seems that it costs 3780 yen ($ 32) just for an estimate

Because I got it at 19800 yen ($ 170) I bought it because I bought it so I'm worried about repairing

Because it is inconvenient without a telephone, I already bought FREETEL KIWAMI ($ 170)

To those who read this post

Rootization and MRomization are risky

Please make sure to prepare thoroughly

Please do not be like me
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Lol.

Yes you are not the first to do it.

I hope you get your phone back soon.

This is my first zte phone, and the most difficult to handle in terms of rooting.

But if you are careful and follow the instructions correctly, it works fine.

Remember, once you install twrp, never ti install the stock recovery again. And this means never never flash a stock ROM without modifying it first to remove the stock recovery from it.

hi all, my new zte axon mini stay in bootlop without recovery... how can i flash a rom without recovery? please help me
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Yiu can't.

Are you sure you don't have any recovery?

Have you tried the power for 10 sec, keep holding power for 10 more secs then keep holding power for 5 sec and release. Phone turns of.

The you vol+ power to start in recovery?

Please read the need ROM website for more info if you need.

How would you end up without any recovery? I'm not sure how you even achieve this.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] kevin_23:
hi, i dont have recovery, the phone charge and stay in logo, the pc recgnice the phone in fastboot, can i flash any rom or recovery via fastboot without recovery? thanks
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Hi.

I'm sorry but as far as I understand you must be rooted to be able to install twrp and have twrp to be able to flash this M ROM.

And to flash the stock ROM I thought you had to have at least the stock recovery. But, no harm in trying the stock ROM.

Repeat, if you are to try, try the stock L ROM (b03 or b04) or try the installing the twrp but I doubt you will get "adb shell" to work.

It is very difficult to help you not knowing how you ended up without any recovery and the status of you system/recovery/partitions.

Please try explaining what happened for you to lose your Recovery. Did you install a wrong recovery? This is my best guess.

If this is the case and you indeed tried a wrong one and now you have not got a working Recovery, this still doesn't explain how/why your system doesn't boot either?

Sorry but without more details I feel I can't help.

Happy new year by the way!
[ZTE Axon Pro] kevin_23:
Hello and thanks for trying to help me, what I did was install the recovery twrp 3.0, but when trying to move from lollipop to marshmallow the phone was rebooted from the twrp recovery. Total I thought it was the twrp problem I had installed and decided to download the twrp 3.0.2 and flash ... well nothing that the phone was left without recovery ... does not let me access it.

The mobile load perfectly, it enters fastboot and in adb but it does not have operating system, I do not have invoice of my movil and I would like to know if it is possible to be even with qfil or something, or some tool of flashing of zte, greetings and thanks
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
So you installed twrp 3.0 and it "worked",. You booted into it and tried to flash M ROM.

But because the correct twrp should have been the 3.0.2 (made by [MENTION=1546029]Bormental[/MENTION]) flashing the M ROM didn't work and you ended up with no system and the wrong twrp.

Is this what happened?

Hummmm. Not sure we can rescue you, but please first confirm this is what happened.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] kevin_23:
Yes, that's right, if you were to tell me a way to get the rom even if it was for linux .... I'm desperate ....
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Hi sorry I missed your post.....

Not sure I understand, you said you failed to make the ROM for b2016 work on b2015?

Correct me if I'm wrong:

The rim works but with no SIM card and there flashable b2015 modem didn't work?.

Please confirm.

If this is the case simply flash the other link I gave you and it will certainly work. Other guys already confirmed the b12 ROM for the b2015 phone works.

Cheers

I'm not sure we can help you mate.

The funny thing is that we do not seem to have fastboot working on this phone. The screen just goes black when rebooting into fastboot mode.

Have you tried installing the correct twrp 3.0.2 made by bormental from fastboot? Did adb shell work? If you can get this recovery install your problem is solved.

I cannot test it until tomorrow as I'm away from home, but you can at least try yourself and keep us posted.
[ZTE Axon Pro] orbitz52:
Wait until your battery drains empty and auto off. Plug it until 1-2% charged. Then removed the charger then press Volume down + Power to boot to Factor Test Mode. From there charge it then plug to pc to access ADB.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
It is true that even when rooted you cant access the root folder
[ZTE Axon Pro] orbitz52:
Your root capabilities is gone also? Same as mine before i can access the root folders, i think we need to update the SU binary, but I dont know how..
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
I managed to bring stock recovery back and then did a reset. I am rooted again but root folder won't open.
[ZTE Axon Pro] orbitz52:
How did you manage to bring stock recovery? I still dont have recovery and no root capabilities..
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
I followed [MENTION=7267314]Heze85[/MENTION] previous post, downloaded the file and did the procedure about recovery.then pressed button up plus shut down button, when android screen appears let both for 1 second, then hold power button untill bootloader mifavor recovery appears. It is pretty easy
[ZTE Axon Pro] orbitz52:
When i run it with Smanager i got error
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
try to full unroot on supersu, reboot, then do the procedure of rooting, the phone should restart when doing the root correctly, check if rooted with rootchecker, then do what [MENTION=7267314]Heze85[/MENTION] said with the script manager as superuser,

now you should have stock rwcovery ready, if this doesnt work try with the recovery inside the marshmallow version that you can find on zterom .

it should work for your phone
[ZTE Axon Pro] orbitz52:
Error again, "did't find match EMMC"

can i custom recovery with a a2015 or b2015?

And what about the pressure sensitive? i thought that i could wheithg somethings but there are no APPS for that.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
there has been an update but I am sceptic too that marshmallow wlll be released this month. It seams ZTE doesnt really care about updates and bug fixing.
[ZTE Axon Pro] sofarwang:
Thank you ! now I use b12,it work s well, and flash b13 then flash modem ,it doesn't work ,but I want to flash b13 rom .

cheer!
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Please use b12 for now. I cannot tell you the difference against b13.

Tomorrow I'm back home and will try to modify the stock b13 for you to work on the b2015 phone.

It is very easy to remove the recovery from the zip file, but I will also put the other little mods in too (bootlogo, boot animation, Google apps etc.) You can test when ready.

Had B2016 before with Android 5 and now it says ZTE B2015_5403

==================================================

Dear people,

It is the first time I am trying to root and install custom rom to any phone.

Yesterday got it rooted succesfully (my B2016 without forcetouch), installed TWRP 3.0.2 is running thanks to info on Russian forums of 4pda.

I am trying to follow instructions from the pdf file:

Option 2:

-boot into recovery, install aboot5, reboot into recovery.

-wipe system and cache ----------------------STOPPED HERE, downloading 1.3gb ROM from my 3rd world country is taking ages :D

-flash B12-B2016-MROM-Clean-XX.zip ROM

-flash superSU2.62, flash xposed (optional),

-restore your data

-Reboot

So I have a question before I succesfully install the B12 ROM. Before all this I was on stock Android 5, am I doing it right?

Downloading B12-B2016-MROM-Clean-06.zip from MEGA links.

After a download, do I put it into the phone's internal memory or the microSD card?
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
You were doing well up to the edit point.

You can place the ROM.zip wherever you want. From the twrp you choose where to load the file from

I noticed that for installing and for backup the internal memory is way faster.

Connect the phone to pc, copy the file to internal or external SD, from twrp now you click install, find you file.zip and install it, then flash SuperSU ....... Blablabla

And yes. B2015 is correct. Remember there's no Mrom for b2016.

Good luck
[ZTE Axon Pro] Dewgong89:
Thanks a lot! Looks like evrything is fine then :) Enjoying the new wallpapers, gosh on amoled screen they look so good!

So good to have Dolby digital at hand now :]
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Glad to hear you managed it.

Enjoy your new phone.

PS. I just came back from the O2 arena for a meal, and where I just by chance also went to the sky TV stand, they where giving out some free Google vr cardboard thing. I downloaded a few apps and it is amazing. I had never tried any sort of vr device before. My children went totally nuts with it. It works so well with this phone amazing screen. No lags, just perfect. I highly recommend.

Cheers

[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
I think your case is lost mate. but anyway you don't need to wait until battery is drained to power it off.

1) phone in bootloop

2) press power for 10 seconds, phone will reboot;

3) KEEP pressing power for 10 more seconds, phone will reboot again;

4) KEEP pressing power for 5 more seconds, PHONE WILL TURN OFF.

Yes vol down + power does boot into factory mode, but I doubt you will be able to either flash aboot5 or to install twrp.

but remember, your phone is bricked already, so you can try anything, you won't cause any more harm than you already did:)

But....if it works......please let us know!!!

Regards

Hi, I'm at home now,

could you please tell me what happens when you flash the B2015 separately? it is important for me to know what happens so I try to fix it.

1) does it cause a bootloop?

2) does it fail to flash? any error message?

3) or the file flashes fine, you reboot the phone but the sim card (or modem) doesn't work?

Thanks
[ZTE Axon Pro] kevin_23:
i dont want to turn off my phone, i want to enter in factory test mode in my zte, but i cant
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Hi all,

I just noticed ZTE removed the b13 ROM from their website and placed the B12 back instead?

That doesn't sound very good, does it?

Any ideas why this happened? My B13 work pretty well, but I could notice no improvement compared to the B12 really?

cheers

---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 PM ----------

I don't understand mate.

I just turned my phone off.

Then vol- and power for about 4 or 5 seconds.....it turn on and goes to factory mode. Isn't that what you want?

then I plugged it into my PC vis USB cable, went into my C:/adb folder and opened the command prompt.

I typed "adb devices", it connects fine as "device"

I typed adb shell, it works the "$" symbol appears.

I typed "su" and the command is not recognised,

But I then typed "reboot" and it reboots fine.

Try to install twrp from there if you can
[ZTE Axon Pro] Sneepur:
Hello,

Thanks for all the work, I did exactly what is told and it works like a charm.

Just a quick question, which version of xposed can i flash on B13 ROM ?
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
This

https://mega.nz/#!6AcXFJCT!OW34ZyXAstWExtWBcMZjCKuqu5fNRayxb6AuqtI-VS4

I think it you clear your DK so it will take a long time to reboot, but it will work.

No need to flash any aboot file.

Look at the needrom website, under the zte category, this is the only rom for this phone and there is loads of info and helping files and instructions.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] sofarwang:
thanks a lot! The b12 rom is fine, no any problem. But that b13 does'nt work well and no sim card!

Thanks a lot! the b12 rom is fine, no any problem. But that b13 does'nt work well and no sim card!
[ZTE Axon Pro] Sneepur:
Thank you for the link.

I uninstalled xposed v87 than didn't work on B13 by flashing xposed-uninstaller-20160829-arm64.zip , then wiped dalvik cache, then flashed xposed v86 from the link, but it doesnt seem to work either.

Something i didnt do when installing B13 was flashing aboot5 because it wasn't listed in the step-by-step instructions on needrom website. I dont know if I should have flashed it.

The phone boots correctly, but when rebooting, the phone remains stuck on ZTE logo, then I press power button 10s and it restarts normally to system.

Do you have any idea why it happens ? aboot5 ? ;)

[MENTION=5890560]sofarwang[/MENTION]: SIM works fine for me on B13 :confused:
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
After flashing xposed the first reboot takes a long time, i think you are not waiting time enough. After cleaning dk, depending on the number of apps, it can take like half hour for the 1st boot ("updating apps")

No need for aboot in this case. (Read again carefully when aboot is needed)

Also, you know once xposed framework is flashed, you still need to install the xposed installer.apk don't you?
[ZTE Axon Pro] Gioggiolo:
Hello, I have just got this smartphone from am@zon.

It looks so nice, thin and light :)

It's a present for my sister. Do you suggest to install the "unofficial" marshmallow(by adding italian language) or wait for a (not sure) official upgrade?

My sister comes from a LG Spirit 4G H440N(8GB) with marshmallow
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
well, it depends on how important the Italian language is for her?

The stock lollipop ROM is not very good, it is very laggy when scrolling most in most apps, however it works well, and any app still opens fast, but the scrolling was a killer to me and never gave me a pleasant experience, even after tweaking CPU, governors etc it improved a bit but not a lot.

I think if she only uses the phone for basic "social network", calls, sms and music (sorry for the pre-assumption), than I'd leave the phone as it is until she complains then you root and install MROM. But for gamming, multi-task, hacking and tweaking.....I'd go for Mrom which is WAAAAAY better in my view.

I hope I helped, but the choice is yours.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Gioggiolo:
It's right. I'm going to leave lollipop... for now :cool:

I have just tried it, but it looks like there isn't the force touch and the FM radio.

It says it's the b2016 with dual sim. I checked the sensors using some app but the FM radio is not recognized.

How can I check the force touch?
[ZTE Axon Pro] eisdrachen:
I would flash it. You can translate the language via MoreLocale2 available on Play.

When you are not afraid of flashing and customizing a phone or did it once before - I would go for it. Demenicis is right, the experience on MRom is way more attractive and makes the phone much better than before. But have in mind - if your sister sees the update-notification and installs it, it could break the device.

I am on B12 right now. It is stable, no force-closes, system is very fluid (no lags like lollipop stock). Everythings working very fine :)
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
this phone simply does not have FM radio at all, mine is the b2016 premium with force touch.

the ROM version (zip file name) says ....V01.blabla or ......FTV01.blabla

also if you go to setting, the force touch option is just under the "themes & wallpaers", if it is not there it is not force touch
[ZTE Axon Pro] Gioggiolo:
[MENTION=5852561]demenicis[/MENTION] really thank you.

Some time ago i read a review talking about the FM rabio, maybe it's only for chinese models?!

Anyway the "FT" is not present in my version :(

I looked at the store and found the Premium version but it says it isn't dual sim.

I never tried the force touch, is it so usefull?

Is your marshmallow ROM compatible with my phone (without FT)?
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
This ROM install on any zte axon mini.

The original stock Mrom is for the b2015 phones and no force touch. It would install on any b2016 phone too but SIM card wouldn't work (wrong modem)

We took that and made it work for b2016 (international) phones by adding the b2016 modem from the lollipop rom, whether it is force touch or not.

Now we inverted the story, i.e. users of b2015 that install our modified ROM will have a workable system but no SIM card, but they can flash the b2015 modem and all works fine again, I actually posted the link of a b12 ROM for the b2015 phones already ready with the correct modem.

The catch here is that you must remove the recovery from the stock ROM (just in case you want to download it from the zte site, the "clean" ROM I posted already has it removed and other tweaks) or you will lose twrp and may even brick the phone if you don't install the aboot 5 before doing that. Careful.

___

Edit.

No force touch has no use to me, I don't even use that beautiful but really crappy zte launcher which was the first thing I replaced, and the force touch heavily rely on the zte useless launcher.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Sneepur:
First time rooting a device, first time tweaking :p :o

Thank you for all the awsome help you provide to Axon mini's users.

Now it works :)
[ZTE Axon Pro] Gioggiolo:
