all sensors work fine on mine.

try again

aboot5 > B14 ROM > SuperSU > Xposed

are you using any xposed module that may be affecting these sensors?

and see if it fixes.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Konstantin72:
Hi!

Yes, I already have tried this (with wipe ) with xposed and witout it :)

Now I use xposed-v87-sdk23-arm64.zip and modules AppLocale

I just install also Sensor Disabler from Xposed and try to disable and enable proximity and light sensors - nothing change.

App SensorMultitool show the vendor name of sensor and for light show minus 1 lx

Some people report the same problem on ZTE 4PDA forum but nothing about fixing. Someone helps flashing new ROM, but in other cases (like me ) sensors stop working after flashing new ROM.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Konstantin72:
I fix it!

first try: again aboot5 > wipe All> b14ROM > SuperSU > aboot6. Sensor does not work

second try: aboot5 > wipe All + format internal memory > b14ROM > SuperSU > Xposed > aboot6. Phone did not boot in OS in 30 min (!?). Again TRWP > aboot6. Phone boot to in 5-6 min.

Sensors start working! I think there is an random Bug in our Axon mini hardware !

Hi

How can i get rid of Mi-Assistant from this ROM. I have had this ROM working great for well over 6 months, after disabling Mi-Assistant, that was impacting my notifications.

Now an update for Mi-Assistant gets downloaded, installs and re-enables itself, causing my notifications to go crazy. Every two to three days I am having to uninstall the update and disable Mi-Assistant, before it returns again...
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
don't get rid of it, simply use it to set the authoring permissions, then you freeze the app. I never had trouble with it and it can be useful purely to set permissions more easily.
[ZTE Axon Pro] icek:
Thanks for the reply ..

Do you mean I should just disable the latest update?
[ZTE Axon Pro] Piraze91:
Hi , who knows where can I find volume keys and the whole frame (body) without the screen. It's for my B2016 ?

Thanks
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
no. freeze is different from disable. you can only freeze a system app if you are rooted, use any app manager for that, for example titanium backup or even better "icebox" which I use to keep apps quite but easy to launch then when I wish.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] marus2:
Guys, I've just moved to Samsung galaxy s7 duos.

My first thought is to make a factory reset of axon mini and move it to my wife.

If I would not have a direct compare to my new phone, I really won't realize, how bad ZTE firmware is.

Factory reset is procedure for small 10 minutes (factory reset, restart, autostart Google play in mi-assist, otherwise it won't work, restart, log in Google account, restart, flash root which I forget and finally first setup phone, install a morelocale), some things ZTE do not repair and they simply works on other phones.

This experience was enough for me as I lost my patience with ZTE. I'll never buy ZTE phone again, even it had good price for hardware.

I had ZTE midrange phone for about 5 years (V5, Blade S6 and now axon mini). Every phone I bought I hoped it will work better than previous. But it never happens.

I will never realize it without direct compare to one year old flagship, but if you don't want to study XDA and hoping for some miracle (bormental here), don't buy nice looking, but ****ty software equipped Chinese phone like ZTE axon mini.

I really feel sorry for the ones, who bought this phone for about $300.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Agreed.

My old Lenovo worked for 3 years on custom aosp KitKat.....good memories and it is still alive.

This zte is pretty but gave us all so much work.

Got a similar Xiaomi redmi 4 pro, and it is better out of the box (firmware) but again a nightmare to root in first place.

Not sure what will be the next, but certainly not a zte phone, that is for sure.

Cheers

Since this is a MSM8939v2-based device, is someone able to port a Nougat ROM from others ?

[ZTE Axon Pro] mojjammil:
My wife switched from Mi4 as the phone was almost dead. But she misses MIUI and doesn't care about fingerprint sensor. Can you please share the MIUI ROM link?
[ZTE Axon Pro] marus2:
After doing factory reset, I have experienced this popup window.

It means something blocked instalation for some app.

I really dont know, what is blocking instalation and what want to try install something.

Did someone know, what can cause this popup?

It occures nearly 5x a day.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
if you know the app is safe, expand the arrow down and hit "proceed anyway", it will install.

this isn't a bug. it is the android way to protect you!
[ZTE Axon Pro] CaptainFail:
Hey everyone.

Is it worth buying axon mini right now? Biggest selling point for me it's an allegedly good headphone sound capabilities for only 150$ plus nice 1080p screen, but software is really that crappy, and painful to modify? Will I have problems installing M ROM on 2015b, or is it relatively simple, without additional shamanic rituals like flashing modem, etc.?
[ZTE Axon Pro] marus2:
M ROM is naturally on B2015, no shamanic rituals needed. If you don't mind lacking EU LTE frequencies, buy it, for $150 it is a good deal.

And you have to experince at least this issues:

1) Only chinese and english (until you root and install morelocale)

2) Deadly powermanager (it will kill everything until you give exception). But if you except everything, you'll get huge battery drain.

3) Absolutely no support from ZTE and alternative ROM (I haven't found workable alternative and yes, lack of fingerprint is a big problem on thesee, which work)

4) Something won't work and it will never work (quick reject call answer)

For me, all these points are no-go for buying this phone again.

On the other side it have theese pros:

1) Very good signal reception (WiFi and LTE). Never had a problem with signal

2) Sound output

If you accidentally buy b2016, surely time will come to sacrifice some virgin in bloody ritual :D (root, flash twrp, flash modified M ROM, flash bootloader, giving permission to autostart for gplay etc etc).
[ZTE Axon Pro] Wurstwa55er:
I really don´t comprehend all these complains about the software.

the B2016 mini is my daily driver for 1,5 years now and I´m still on the outdated stock 5.1.1

but everything runs smooth, so I never had reason to "touch the running system" ;)

But meanwhile the battery get weaker, and I consider to change it.

Did anyone already replaced it and can point me to a type that fits?

thx
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
no. my phone is over 1 year old and the battery behaves as new.

one thing cool about this phone is the fact the battery can hold a whole day losing 1 or 2% if the phone is left quite.

I know this is how android is supposed to be, but to be honest I've never seen a phone keeping the battery like this ever before.

it isn't the case if you use the phone a lot, obviously.

and again i too have complains about the software, mainly lollipop with Google Chrome, oh goodness, It Hurts.

but on marshmallow It Works super well (still clunky on chrome though) and other than the phone cuting my Voice (speaker on off to fix, during the call) It works perfectly, never reboots itself, nearly ever crashes any apps, great sound, screen etc.

so after the first couple of months tweaking here and there I think I now reached a perfectly stable point and there isn't anything to do on this phone anymore other than simply using it until it dies.

I read yesterday that they needed this to take from it finger print scanner source code and then build rom based on it
[ZTE Axon Pro] forart.eu:
AFAIK you can use the same "proprietary drivers" to build Android from KitKat to Nougat, so - if present - you can use ZTE's provided-with-sources "blobs".

[ZTE Axon Pro] Perul:
I've got problem aftter updating system from stock to B14 ROM. The Google Services don't work and I can't to run Google Play.

I flashed pico gapps from open gapps, and after it was bootloop. Next I flashed older version B12 ROM, and the result was the same like in B14 ROM.

What can I do to solve this problem?
[ZTE Axon Pro] marcvali76:
You need to go to mi-assistant and set Google play services as auto-run on
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
I strongly advise you to read the description I wrote on the needrom website.

https://www.needrom.com/download/zte-axon-mini-model-b2016-only/

[ZTE Axon Pro] anemusek:
On needrom is the solution this problem (add play services autostart permission in mi assistant). Also in the history of this thread.

One my question: will be b15 or later wersion or axon mini b2016 was also abonded by xda comunity/(or zte leaved china version)?
[ZTE Axon Pro] :
Hi guys, Im having a problem with my Axon Mini B2016.

I tried to update using the rom I found on needrom but now there's no network.

I've had downloaded the stock rom from zte website. I believe its the B04, but still the same. No network even on lollipop.

Whenever im trying to search for network manually, it only shows 4G, but I cant connect. So now I cant get my network signal to work.

No call or sms.

Appreciate if someone can help me.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:

[ZTE Axon Pro] :
B2016 modem

Thanks for your response. But I cant find the B2016 Modem.

All I can see were the rom itself. Would you mind sharing the link for the modem alone? So i can save data? Thanks so much.

Edit: just an update, i flashed the B2016 B14 cleanrom that was on the needrom website. I can now get network signal but only on 3g.

2g doest work even i choose 4g/3g/2g auto on my network mode. Searching manually only provides 4g. No 2g.
[ZTE Axon Pro] :
I tried to flash the modem but result was still same.

Cant get a network.

After trying B14 Clean I was able to get signal but only 3g.

So most of the time I dont have network.

Whenever I manually search still theres no 2G, I can't search for 2G regardless of what network mode i choose. Now its like an iPod touch. Sim card is useless though system can read my sim. No call nor text. Only wifi. BTW, IMEI was showing correctly.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
what country are you from?

I had a friend who the b14 clean working very well in the UK, but when he went to Spain he couldn't get data to work. I have solved it by changing the APN config file (in system etc) and copied the Spanish APN lines from the stock lollipop into the the same file in the marshmallow ROM.

please check your current APN settings to see they are correct.

cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] :
No network

I'm from Saudi Arabia, I checked the APN and it seems to be fine, but its odd that 2G never become available, tried other sim on the mini but still cannot acquire network. Means a world to me if at least I get 2G for call and text. 3G or 4G doesn't matter as I have wifi.

Hope you can help.

Cheers.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
I can't understand how you can have 3G without being able to make calls.

I never heard about this issue before. everyone who installed the b14, or b13 or b13 clean are fine as far as I know.

did you follow all the instructions and gave permission to all apps initially?
[ZTE Axon Pro] :
Yes. I have poor 3g signal here thats why can't make a call or text. But its strange that whenever I manually search for network only 4g network shows.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
I think I found the solution for you on this old forum

https://community.giffgaff.com/t5/Tips-Guides/Enabling-missing-2G-ONLY-mode-on-Android/td-p/10871397

basically you go to the phone dialer and type this

*#*#4636#*#*

then go to phone info

then scroll down and change the preferred network to GSM only......bingo

I tested and it did exactly what you want on my phone, 2G signal strong and static....

I hope it works.

cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] :
Thanks but I have tried that already on both b14 and stock rom but none of them seems to work.

If i choose only 2g and tried to serach for network, an error saying I cant connect to network is showing without showing any carrier signal to choose from. But if I turned it to 4g/3g/2g auto I was able to search 4g network. But as I said earlier I cant connect. Maybe its a problem with the efs? Or maybe i need to reflash it using qfil. But i dont know how to as i cant get the key combo for download mode. Only recovery and factory test. Hmmm. Need to dig in more deeper for solution.

Edit: additional info. In the Settings/Mobile Network/Network Mode i have an option for 2g. But if i tap on that and go to Settings/Mobile Network/preffered network/Auto or Manual searching, only 4g Network is showing from my providers. But if i tried the sim on other device its working on 2g.
[ZTE Axon Pro] :
Would it be posible for you to backup your baseband using Partition Backup application and share it with me and see if it will work.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks.
[ZTE Axon Pro] :
Heres the only showing available network. No 2g.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
the modem for the b2016 alone had been posted in this forum by [MENTION=1546029]Bormental[/MENTION], ages ago. try to search and if you can't find it I'll post it for you.

have you tried to switch to 2G and really wait?

I think this seems a limitation of you local network or the phone itself, like baseband or something else.
[ZTE Axon Pro] :
[MENTION=8112863]Deminics[/MENTION] yes waited for a couple of minutes but still no luck.

Before it was working fine. Even on miui rom. Even roaming sim works fine until i flashed the b14.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
here is the modem

https://mega.nz/#!GF1FhLBb!jV4sGoXMimXqQfB9rx6g52nLVeHBH0NYiIXN0-nqphA

however, this is the same modem found on the stock lollipop. if it didn't work with stock rom, it won't work now again I suppose.

you can also try B12,B13, go to needrom and click on the oldroms link.

I'm currently down to B10, which is a rom posted on the zte website (but then removed, I think) which is specifically for the force touch phones (which I do not use).

but I have looked through all the files, many times, and b08,b10,b12,b13 and b14 are pretty much the same.

Good luck
[ZTE Axon Pro] :
[MENTION=355103]Demen[/MENTION]ics, thank you for your interest. I already tried that modem. But with no luck. Anyway ill try the other roms for b2016 ive got on your mega folder.

And also, upon digging earlier, i thought I give network signal guru a shot. But whenever I tried to open all bands, my SIM1 IMEI always changed to other number which is the svn which end up no sim card. I think i need an efs backup now so i can restore on twrp but the problem is i dont have efs backup. :(
[ZTE Axon Pro] :
Can anyone share their twrp backup? Especially efs? I want to experiment what had gone wrong. Appreciate if someone could share it with me.

Regards
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
try this

https://mega.nz/#!yckA3ZBA!xyUNq5CBI3fSUpkO90kXK0qbW-YzSkeu_SqoGIgbPcs

unzip the folder first.

the efs backup does not contain the modem and I don't know what you are trying to achieve, but good luck anyway.

cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] :
Thanks. Btw, is it an efs backup from b2016?

I'll try it once im free from my work.

Hmmm one more thing, can you help me fix my bootloop?

Im trying to port Resurrection Remix Rom. Actually it is based on Nougat. I ended up on bootloop, i mean its booting but only until bootanimation. Though haven't tried to wait. I just tried it and after maybe 3mins of booting, i have no patience left so i just reverted back to stock. Hehe. Maybe I need to edit the boot image. But I dont have time right now for some personal reason.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
careful not to brick your phone. loads did already here in this forum. attention about the aboot5 file.

if in doubt, always flash aboot5 AND reboot recovery before flashing or trying anything too funny like any new ROM.

never remove or replace your twrp recovery by the stock one if possible, and if you do, you better have remembered to have flashed the aboot5 before that, or the phone is gone.

I can't stress enough.

cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] :
Same has been noted. :)

Appreciate your reminder.

Whenever im free i will try to experiment more on this device. As it was the main reason why i bought this one.

BTW,Have you tried to check if this device has a fastboot mode?

I already opened it anyway, i mean a teardown. hehe.

I think theres a possiblity to trigger the qualcomm download mode by shorting some gold pins on the motherboard.

Which will lead to backup the entire emmc partition.

edit: Does FTM mode is the qualcomm download mode?Haven't tried it yet as currently I have to send my laptop to my brother.
[ZTE Axon Pro] :
Ive got it working now.

The reason why I am only getting 4g signal is I forgot to hook the signal cables beside the fingerprint flex. Haha.

What the hell.

Thanks anyway. Now ill go back on porting.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
no fastboot.

It does have download mode though.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
power vol- = download mode

power vol+ = recovery

if on bootloop:

power 10 secs + power 10s + power 5s = phone offif port anything....let me know so I can try :)
[ZTE Axon Pro] :
I'm trying to port ColorOS. I was able to successfully boot it except that the screen will goes black after every few second.

It's like going to deepsleep because after the screen turns on again it brings me to the lockscreen. Any idea?
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
maybe you have to give autostart permission to the launcher or another important app?

does it have workable fingerprint? did you manage to actually test it or it just goes black all the time?
[ZTE Axon Pro] :
I wasnt able to test it out because screen turns black after every few seconds. And when it goes back it was on lockscreen. And before i can open the settings again the screen will turn off. But I can see the sim and wifi is working.

Maybe boot image may do something with it?

Also its not showing bootanimation. After a few moments on the zte logo it will directly boot to system.
[ZTE Axon Pro] :
Well, since I don't have time to fix my rom port bug. I ended up on the stock chinese Marshmallow rom on my B2016 premium. I just modified and debloated it. And It was very smooth. So far im satisfied with this one. No force closed no stopped working. :)
[ZTE Axon Pro] :
Lockscreen wallpapers

For those who are sick of their stock lockscreen wallpaper. This might help you. Tested on marshmallow rom. Flash thru twrp.

Hit thanks if you like it. :)
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
not sure what this file does. I believe the app you are flashing into system is already present on all M roms? I flashed this and nothing changed, but I think this is because I have removed all the zte stuff, and this app alone seems to work, applies the wallpaper but nothing happens.

I mean, the lockscreen wallpaper cannot be changed on my phone, just the normal one can.

cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] :
I don't know how it works actually, but it does change the default lockscreen wallpapers on my phone. :)

Hello everyone,

So basically I wanted to install this M rom to my axon mini b2016 from lollipop. I followed every instruction and successfuly installed twrp, wiped system data cache and flashed the b2016 rom and then the supersu file, rebooting to the logo and it stuck there for like 15 minutes so I followed the bootloop instructions and got back to twrp to clean system data and cache again and flash one more time without the supersu. No luck same issue so went back to twrp again to wipe and restore my backup but while it is flashing it the screen turns black (no timeout) and the phone becomes unresponsive every time I try to flash anything! Any ideas or solutions to that?

Thank you in advance
[ZTE Axon Pro] Motto_MTR:
Did you flash aboot_*.*.*.zip?

You need to:

1. flash aboot 5.0.1

2. reboot to TWRP

3. do all steps you need(ex. flashing MROM, SuperSU, or backing up)

4. (optional, only you use Marshmallow) flash aboot 6.0.1 and reboot to system

I hope this will be help of you.
[ZTE Axon Pro] DimitrisGtr:
Thank you it worked! Although instructions say that lollipop rom already has it it looks like it doesn't?! But there are no play services so play store doesn't work unless you flash play services which is something that it could be fixed in this rom OP.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
you missed the rest of the instructions about play store.

look at my post in the needrom website.

give it the autostart permission via miassistant app.

it works cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] :
Just got my axon mini on deadboot. :p

Showing DFU mode on pc.

Will update and provide a fix here once I was able to find a solution.

It may also help those who didn't flashed the correct aboot file on marshmallow and now stucked on stock recovery.

edit:found the testpoint to boot it into qualcomm 9008 mode :cowboy:

now I need to stitch the files.
[ZTE Axon Pro] ginandtonic123:
Sorry guys, I think i might have made a mistake.

I saw on the settings that there was a mifavor update, (2016 version), so I foolishly tried to install, the phone went directly into TRWP and now it's stuck on ZTE start screen.

Can anyone help?

Update: OK, I managed to reboot into TWRP, trying to flash 01a- B14-B2016-MROM-Clean01 [NEW], fingers crossed....
[ZTE Axon Pro] Motto_MTR:
I've faced that some monthes ago.

Do steps written on post #1 and go into TWRP. Then erase system, cache, and boot, and flash the MROM. I think I had fixed it in this way.
[ZTE Axon Pro] ginandtonic123:
Yes just did that, thanks.

Thanks a million to Demenecis and Bormental also, and everyone on this thread.

Ok, I'm back in business, if anything I cleared up all the junk apps, so nice new fresh phone :)

There is still some life left in the old girl....

Will probably be updating to a new phone soon I suppose, maybe the LeEco Max 2 (nice stable Oreo ROM available for the Max 2) or maybe the Xiaomi Mi mix 2, but I'm afraid those frameless screens are a bit delicate ? (but very nice)...
