So, play store is already on the phone - no way to get it started. Everytime force close. After try-outs I reinstalled it over the es file explorer - force close again.

My system is freshly installed, fully wiped before.

I try now to cut it out of system and place it in another folder for backup. Then I will install via google installer again. Everythings working fine, except the playstore...

The workaround with clear data of playstore, services and framework did not do a thing for me.

I do not know why it does not work for me... Eventually I will find a way, I will tell you then.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Just one note:

if you have install it manually (click on the app saved in system) it may install playstore in data, not in system.

When this happens, go to app management and check you have given all permissions to the playstore app, I remember mine was force closing because of these permissions.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] eisdrachen:
Best note ever :)

Just gave the playstore full permissions on the vending folder and... yeah, simple as that. Thank you very very much!
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Glad to know it worked.

Remember to give the permissions to the Google calendar sync and google contacts sync too, otherwise they won't work.

At the end, did you delete the playstore from system and installed again through the google installer, or you simply installed the app directly from the system?

I'm in doubt if I should remove playstore from the rom or not.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] eisdrachen:
is it in data/app syncadapters.contacts and syncadapters.calendar?

At the end I removed the playstore from system, installed the apk and corrected the permissions.

---------- Post added at 03:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:27 PM ----------

And sorry for the question: I installed everything now and corrected the permissions for data/app syncadapters.contacts and syncadapters.calendar. Do I need to take the google account away, reboot, add it again and then again syncing with everything?

hy Guys,

i can not root.

my phone ZTE b2016 FTV1.0.0b04.

Please HELP!!!!!!

Sorry for my bad englisch
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
No that is not what I mean, don't play with google account manager if it is working.

the easy way to set the permissions is this:

go to settings (the "gear" icon), go to apps.

scroll down until you find the app your want and click on it;

now go to permissions, and turn it (or them) on.

for Google calendar sync - permission - calendar

for Google contact sync - permission - contacts

you may reboot the phone.

the final test to check all is working:

go to accounts/google/ you should see these options for syncing:

App data

Calendar

Chrome

Contacts

Google fit data

Peoples details

that is all

Soooo, now I am finally running 6.0.1. without any problems. Sorry for the delay.

I thought a little bit too old school I think... that's why I changed the permissions in es file explorer haha :D

My steps were:

1. Complete wipe (except storage)

2. Install aboot5.1.1

3. reboot into recovery

4. Installed B12

5. Installed SuperSU

6. Reboot to system

7. Configured in english

8. Ran Google Installer (except Playstore Install, because it did not work for me at all)

9. Deleted playstore out of app/data, installed it after that manually

10. Corrected the permissions in the App-menu from Google Contacts Sync, Calendar sync and play store

11. Configured my gmail Account

12. Happy to run Marshmallow

13. Enormous Thanks to demenicis - sometimes it is better to do this stuff with four eyes :D

I hope I can help with my resolution of those problems

Do an advanced wipe and select everything out of it except your storage.

- Flash aboot6.0.1

- Flash ROM

- Flash SuperSU

should work... got the same problem before I had a nice softbrick :D
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
That is very strange, I did mine without any wipe anf it worked.

Have you reboot recovery before flashing the rom?

I suspect this could be a corrupted file due to the download or even the faulty SD card. I never saw this "error 7" message before maybe [MENTION=1546029]Bormental[/MENTION] know what that means, I don't have any idea.

Tell us the story a bit better.

Is yoyr phone b2016, is the twrp the correct one? Are you sure your SD card is a good one?

What rom did you have before?

Have you repartitioned or encrypted the phone before installing the rom?

Have you formatted your SD card as internal?

At last, have you checked the twrp log straight after trying to flash the rom?

In your computer, can you confirm the zip file size so I know the file is complete?

Edit: reading through the web, and before any answers for the above questions, I think I have an idea what is going on.

I bet you were trying to install the rom directly on top of the lollipop one. Then the "asserts" on the update script think the rom is for the wrong phone.

While I'll try to edit this on the rim file to avoid this issue in the future, wiping the system partition should do the job.

Yes use the advanced wipe, and clear the system at least, but possibly data too as I doubt your lollipop apps would work on M rom.

I did not have any problems flashing this file because I was already on rom b09M rom anyway.

This is just a theory though, I would try answering the above questions anyway to help us understand this new issue better.
[ZTE Axon Pro] eisdrachen:
I can confirm that. If you are on Lollipop before, there is no really good way to flash on top of it. Even if it will be flashed, you will have many problems - for me, the settings were unusable.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Bormental:
In most cases this error appears when archive is corrupted. For verify the issue read recovery.log from /tmp folder.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Thanks I missed your reply [MENTION=1546029]Bormental[/MENTION], please forget my last PM post then.

Yes the "assert" on the update script is not the problem, it just checks the phone is the correct one (get_device_compatible("msm8916_64") == "OK" || abort("This package.....")

It sounds like a corrupt file indeed, and I hope it is.

[MENTION=3222321]eisdrachen[/MENTION] , although I'd agree we should wipe system if moving from lollipop, your case was different because I had left two settings.apk in the same folder in your ROM file:), so in your case this was my mistake.

My twrp is good, I found them in this thread. I was on b04. Cart is good, I've used it before to flash b04 and it was good. I tried another card and the same. My card is formatted to extremal.

What can I do now, I'm afraid that I can not fix it. I do not know so well on this, I've done all of your instructions. Please help.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Ok mate, all I can reassure is that the ROM works so your last chance would be to re-download the rom file. This mega website is a bit slow sometimes and wouldn't be surprised if the file was damaged on the way.

Please download again and let us know if it worked.

[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
No mate, your phone isn't dead if you can reboot in recovery.

you can try to flash the B09 (found in the same link)

you can also flash the stock ROM (but this will wipe your twrp)

you can also restore your nandroid backup (because I'm sure you did one before trying this zip:) )

If you re-downloaded the B12 zip and still cannot flash it.......well, can you try reading the recovery log like [MENTION=1546029]Bormental[/MENTION] recommended?

Please ready the log. In the recovery, try flashing again so you repeat the error, now back on the main page go to advanced/Copy log/ and copy the log to your sd card.

Now plug your phone to you PC and wait until windows asks you what to do, then open windows explorer and find this log file. Post the content here.

Without your log we will be here forever speculating what the issue could be.........

trust me, we will get this sorted......eventually.

Your messages aren't clear....can you boot into recovery or not? if you can, what recovery is it, stock or twrp?
[ZTE Axon Pro] Bormental:
1. Get root access and Install TWRP if you lost it and have stock rom installed.

2. Copy to internal sd several custom roms.

3. Boot to TWRP, install aboot5 and reboot twrp again.

3. Make full backup.

4. Wipe data (factory reset).

5. Install custom ROM.

6. Download and install the latest google adb driver for pc.

7. Download and install Total Commander.

8. Download and open with TC archive with ADB plugin.

9. Ooen the plugin panel, find /tmp folder and open the log.

Your phone is not fully bricked until you can boot TWRP. if you decide to go back to stock I recommend b04.

until them please do this, EXACTLY IN THIS ORDER, like [MENTION=1546029]Bormental[/MENTION] just said:

- FIRST THING ------ flash the file --->

aboot5.zip

- Now press back, then back again to go back to the main page,

- click in Reboot, then in recovery.

it will reboot into recovery

Now try to flash the ROM B12 again and tell me if it worked.

if it failed, go back to the main page and wipe everything, then try flashing the ROM again

Hi guys!!!

I've got a big problem. I tried to install the twrp in my phone B2016 following the instructions included in demenicis mega link, but unfortunately it didn't work for me. When I finished the 9 steps, I tried to enter into the recovery by pressing the vol up + pwr, but when the phone rebooted it seemed as is the phone was frozen in the ZTE screen logo. I've rebooted it many times by pressing the vol up + pwr, but when i do this the phone remains frozen in zte screen logo.

Do you have any idea of what i've done wrong and how to solve it?
[ZTE Axon Pro] beenny:
I did it! First I did a full wipe, next flash aboot5, then reboot recovery, and then flash b12 and superSU 2.6.2. I would like to thank you very much, you really helped me.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Hey, I told you would end up sorting this out! well done.

Next time, and every time you want to do a backup, be careful:

- flash aboot5, reboot recovery

-do your backup

-flash aboot6 before rebooting.

Once you finish setting up the phone, do a system and data backup straight away, so you are protected from future disaster.

Cheers

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------

Are you sure your twrp is not working? when you say " I tried to enter into the recovery by pressing the vol up + pwr", how did you do this? did you power the phone off then tried vol+pwr?

I don't think you have a big problem. All you did was to try installing the recovery. Whether you succeeded or not, your system should still be working and that means you can try again.

However, please read below.

Please read this advise below. We MUST confirm you have a recovery, and if so which recovery you have.

If you don't have any recovery, does your system boot up so you can try again?

----- IF YOU HAVE A BOOTLOOP. Bormetal (the dev of this twrp told me a trick)

vol+power for 10 seconds – phone will reboot

keep holding vol+power for 10 more seconds – phone will reboot again;

keep holding vol+power…..in about 5 seconds, as soon as the screen turn off, release the buttons. Phone will turn off.

Now you simply vol+power to start in recovery mode, as usual. So please don't panic, as long as you have twrp you are safe.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Mannuelex:
Thank you so much demenicis, thanks to your advices I could turn off the phone and now i can access to the recovery. However when i try to turn on the phone, it remains frozen in the logo screen.

Now I'm trying to install the B12 MROM, but when i access to the recovery and i try to install the aboot 5.1 from a external sd card, it doesn't succeed and gives me the following errors

"E: footer is wrong

E: signature verification failed"

imgur.com/a/73qFL

Sorry I've tryed to upload the photo where the errors are shown, but i don't know how to do it.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
I think you are skipping one important step:

1)boot into recovery and flash aboot5 (make sure to leave the "check signature" UNCHECKED)

2)press back, then back again, then reboot, recovery

(I'm pretty sure you missed this step)

3) finally try flashing the rom.zip
[ZTE Axon Pro] Mannuelex:
Thanks again demenicis.

I couldn't reach the second step because the installation of aboot5 crashes. I'm not pretty sure how to leave unchecked the check signature, i can't find it into the recovery menu. The only similar option that I can see into the recovery menu is md5 check, do you refer to that?

Thanks in advance ;)
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
I'm suspecting you do not have twrp installed. You are doing that on the stock recovery.

Can you confirm your recovery is written "bormental" at the top of the screen?

If this is the case, boot into the system and try rooting and installing twrp again.

If you cannot boot your system and you only have the stock recovery......then you will have to flash the stock ROM again and start the whole process from the beginning.

You people must do a nandroid backup before wiping your system. In your case you wouldnt be able to back up using the stock recovery and therefore realised you shouldn't have wiped your system therefore:)

Careful with this phone. It works well but it isn't the easiest beast to mess with.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] Mannuelex:
Thank you, you are right I'm in the stock recovery, in the top of the screen is written Android system recovery <3e>

I'll try to restart the process from the stock ROM :)

Thank you so much
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Hi beenny, installing the play store can be a nightmare, but it has NOTHING to do with flashing or going to recovery.

Forget the recovery for now, and only go back to it once you have finished installing Playstore etc, but just to BACKUP your system and data.

(to backup: reboot recovery, flash aboot5, reboot recovery, backup system and data, flash aboot6, reboot system......this is literally the last time I'm writing this process)

I'm posting a note I have written before, assuming no one reads a single page back on this thread anyway, where the SAME problem has been sorted about 11 times.:crying:

&&& Note about google Play store.

once you start your phone and run the "google installer app" it will try to install: google service framework, google play services, google calendar sync; google contacts sync..and will fail on the playstore because playstore is already there (Im not sure I should remove it or not from the system, but lets see how you guys go)

Now, this is important, once the installation is done check the play store app is installed or not. If not, simple open es file explorer (already a system app) and browse to system/priv-app or system/app (depending on what version you downloaded), scroll down and find play store, install it)

Last trick, go to settings, apps, find playstore, contact sync and calendar sync, click on each of them, permissions and turn all of them on. Do this for all these 3 apps. Finally open playstore or simply go to accounts and add your google account.

good luck and I'm sorry this whole thing isn't a bit easier! good luck

[MENTION=5852561]demenicis[/MENTION] , What does the file "aboot"?

Thanks for your development for this phone
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
​

Just to be clear, I'm not the guy who made the recovery for this phone. Without the recovery we would all be struggling without the possibility of backing up our system and with that crappy laggyest lollipop rom. The man is [MENTION=1546029]Bormental[/MENTION].

Now about the aboot file. I could explain the files it contains, but in simple words, the aboot5 tricks the twrp to think we are still in lollipop, then when we finish what we have to do with the recovery (nandroid backups, flashing etc) we flash the aboot6 so the phone knows we are using the M ROM.

This about file contains all files (nearly all) contained in the firmware update folder inside each ROM. These files are important and without then the rom doesn't work. Simple.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] beenny:
Thanks for answers.

I'm doing everything as you write and playstore isn't t working. My phone is stubborn. :(
[ZTE Axon Pro] Mannuelex:
Hi guys!!

Finally I've got it :D

I've restarted the process from the stock ROM B4 and i've updated to MROM B12 following the instructions, last time I hadn't installed the twrp, but now is ok.

I also could install the play store uninstalling it first and then reinstalling it from the apk included in system apps. And now I got my phone fully functional.

hey! i comment before in this post, i tried all method to root and don´t work. :( anyone who root recently can tell me the tutorial who he followed?? thanks!
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
I'm sorry but if it works for everyone else, I doubt you are following the steps correctly.

we may need to do this slowly, step by step if you want to succeed.

1) when you plug your phone to your computer, does your computer recognise the phone? can you find your phone, sd card and internal, in your windows explorer?

2)turn USB debug on, now in the PC open the commad prompt inside the adb folder you have copied in your c drive. type adb devices, press enter. what can you see?

3)install the adb_root.apk on your phone. open it and press the root buttom. what is the message the app gives you?

answer these 3 questions just so we can get started. I may need to ask other questions.

thanks
