Excellent sound and screen, Above average camera. Good connection (WiFi, 4g etc) the rest is just mid range phone.

Horrible software. You must root and install M ROM like us.

Yes, no decent custom ROMs, only a CM 12 and a most recent one (forgot which one) but finger print doesn't work on either of them

Thank you my friend.

I buy a Motorola moto x 2014 .

Is the same money but .
[ZTE Axon Pro] WizzdoM:
Hey All,

After upgrading to M rom B10 by Demenicis, I have an issue with the mic, and small issue with whatapp badge counter.

First, this ROM is way better than the stock one, but during a call the other side cannot hear me like I muted the call, which I didn't,

I disabled OK google and VoLTE with no success.

The only thing that worked is while in a call, when the other side cannot hear me I press the speaker on & off, and the mic start working again....until next time.

The other thing might be related to the Holo Launcher, I don't have the unread messeges counter on whatsapp icon (whatsapp badge).

I'll be happy to get any assistance on those issues.

Thanks in advance.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Hi. Finally someone described the same issue i have with the microphone. I have exactly the same and could not fix it.

I also have to turn speakers on\off to continue the call.

The problem is that i also had the same problem with stock lollipop, so i don't think it is related to the ROM.

This must be a hardware issue because not everyone has this issue.

I'm sorry i do not know how to solve it, but please let me know if you managed to find the cause.

Holo launcher is very old, but i simply like it.

It doesn't have badge counting on the free version.

You may try another launcher.

Thanks for sharing your issues, and let's hope someone fix the mic problem. Nowadays i simply make a call, speaker on off then i start to speak.....I got used to it (which is crap).

By the way, make sure WhatsApp is allowed​ to auto start in miassistant, like the Play services.

Cheers

I bricked the phone screen and I need to send back to zte. Anyone know how to back to stock recovery, ROM. Thanks.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Well, firstly, why did it happen?

Secondly, it may be easy to solve just by giving permissions to it. And also to play store and may be all gapps.

Go to apps manager. Permissions. Make sure they are all good.

To be honest, i had this before after fiddling with the phone a lot. I solved it by uninstalling all gapps, then flashing the gapps.zip i made specifically for this phone.

Last try......Simply flash the aboot 5, reboot recovery, flash the b14 again. This will certainly solve your problems and you won't lose any apps or data.

Cheers

---------- Post added at 10:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 PM ----------

Yes. This is very easy.

Reboot recovery. Flash aboot5, reboot recovery again.

Flash stock (unmodified) b03 or b04.

Done

Cheers

how can I enable google assistant? I have android n-ify but isn't working
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
You need 2 xposed modules.

1) N-ify - but leave it disabled​ in xposed module list

2) assistant enabler - activated.

Reboot and enjoy

Every time i try to re-flash modified B04 (without recovery-resource.dat)with Twrp i get error 7 : invalid symlink. Any ideas?
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
What rom are you in now? B14?

I have it working on mine. Go to Google now settings and check through.

Remember again: install both apps, assistant enabler AND N-ify.

Activate the enabler but leave N-ify de-activated.

---------- Post added at 03:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 PM ----------

I never tried to do this on lollipop ROM.

Have you flashed aboot 5 and reboot recovery again before flashing b04?

Alternatively simply restore your system which I'm sure you backed up as recommended, haven't you?

If nothing works, you will have to re-flash the full (and total crappy) stock b04, lose root and loose twrp, but it will work.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Willkommen1:
Still don't working but i think is because i use systemless xposed. But thanks for your help
[ZTE Axon Pro] marsonyc:
I use B14 for everiday use and I use to backup thru TWRP weekly.

I tried with these steps:

TWRP -> Flash aboot5 -> restart in recovery -> Advanced wipe: cache, dalvik cache, system -> flash B04 (modified) -> after cca 2min : !!! Error 7: Invalid symlink !!!

Wipe again cache, dalvik cache, system -> restore from backup.

I don't understant why this error occour.

How unlock bootloader

Hi,

i had tried few days to unlock the bootloader from ZTE Axon mini .

My problem, no working TWRP. The phone starts only with blue ZTE Logo. Fastboot commands did not work, message is = invalid commands.

EDL, driodboot (Vol. + and - and Power) didn't work. No USB Qualcomm 9008 driver in device manger only ADB device.

I have found a webpage with a unbrick giude. But this page disecribe a methode with SP Flash Tool, but i think that couldn't work because the phone has a qualcomm cpu.

Is there any chance to unbrick the axon mini ?
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Depending on "how bricked" your device is, i think only zte can help.

Don't you have any recovery? Not even the stock one?
[ZTE Axon Pro] julie12:
First of thank you for your fast reply.

Yes i have a recovery.

Here are the steps i had done to upgrade my zte.

First i got root, and i done a nandroidbackup.

Then i install trwp and done an recovery.

After that i tried to install the B14 Rom. But the installation process are always break down at 30%.

Although i wanted back to the stock rom. But unfortunately after trying this i had lost the twrp bootloader.

Now i am see only the zte logo.

I think my fault was that i dont had unlock the bootloader before i want to install the B14 ROM.

Do you know if there a Testpoint recovery like the redmi phones ?
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Hi. I think once again instructions are being lost due to language problems.

I'm sure you did not read or did not understand my instructions and notes about the aboot5 and aboot 6 files.

When the installation of a ROM stops about 30% is totally normal and i have described exactly this on my notes in the needrom website.

I'm so sorry but the person who made this recovery does not know how to unbrick this phone, so how can i?

Let me guess? You now have the stock recovery (not twrp) but it was installed when you flashed the stock ROM. But you did that without flashing aboot 5 first.

If this is the case the only solution i know is to send the phone back to zte.

If you still have twrp, then forget what i said and you will be fine.

If you find a "miracle" to unbrick it, please let us know.

---------- Post added at 08:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 AM ----------

Anyone who speaks both English AND Russian VERY well could volunteer to translate my notes/instructions in the needrom website?

Many english-non-speakers are bricking their phones because they simply cannot read the notes about the aboot5, or these notes somehow are being wrongly translated.
[ZTE Axon Pro] julie12:
Unfortunately you are right, i don't had read the hint with the aboot 5 file.

Now i have no recovery. ZTE Europe told me the can't repairing the phone, because it wasn't build for European use.

So if nobody knows how can i get into the EDL mode i must buy a new phone.

I had tried serval tools like Qufil and Miflash, but all need to flash the EDL mode.

After all thank you for your help.

[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Please tell me you went to recovery, flashed aboot5, reboot recovery, then wipe, then finally flashed the ROM?

Check your ROM file isn't double zipped. You must flash the update.zip.

I'm sure your problem is it.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Willkommen1:
Yes, It's all okey. I just flashed the MM rom and i tried other time to flash the 5.1.1 rom and it worked.

Hi users,

anyone already managed to replace the screen on this phone? My friend at work just smashed his glass.

I found online the glass only for £3, or the whole glass+lcd = £110!

the glass comes "naked" without any cables.

is the glass glued like on the Samsung galaxy S5, for example, which is impossible to replace the glass only.

Thanks in advance
[ZTE Axon Pro] marcvali76:
yes, it is difficult to change only the glass, only qualified service may change but reach the same cost
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
THanks, I've watched how to tear down the axon 7 and it is clear that even to replace the entire glass+lcd is a nigthmare.

to me, this means that if the screen breaks we have to throu the phone in the bin.

NEW POSSIBLE BUYERS SHOULD CONSIDER THIS BEFORE GETTING THIS PHONE.

Thanks
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
The glass only replacement is similar to that of the s4, I have done it myself successfully on some phones. You just need a hair drier, some loca glue, the replacement glass and screen removal tools which usually come with the new glass you buy. You must be very careful not to damage the digitizer, it is very fragile. Does the screen work normally and only the glass is broken?
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
yes. i just saw the phone right now. all works.

however, i have a brand new galaxy s5, which although an old model it is a "monster phone, 10 times more powerful and faster and smoother than our midrange little axon, and i have payed £120 for the whole screen, replaced it so my wife could smash it again. second time i tried the glass only, hairdryer, super careful...... smash. not a chance in this world i could do that job, and I'm not that bad at diy stuff (i design and make machines for living), youtube on how to do it playing in front of me. not a chance I could do it myself. as result, the phone is here, useful as a paper weight and i got her the xiomi redmi 4 pro for the price of another screen.

my friend knows his phone is gone. he is not even gonna try.

but thanks guys for the info.

regards
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
I am pretty sure I can fix it, if he wants to sell it in a low price send me a message ;)

funnily enough, i use b10 too. but yes, b14 is nearly identical, mainly to do with all the zte crap.

i have already uninstalled video, but still use music only because of the lock screen, no other can show or use this bloody lock screen.

but the phone works so well, it seems it is even getting better with the time! i never shut it close any apps and the phone never slows down. i also keep it on for weeks and weeks now, and simply cannot remember a single crash, ever.

thanks for the info once again
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
That's the bad side of owning a chinese phone. All Chinese companies have the government involved in some degree, since it is a centralized state there have been countless times that some sort of malware to retrieve information and probably the fingerprint data has been found. Apple for instance, has a separate chip for fingerprint identification purposes which is isolated from the system and cannot export any data on it so that your fingerprint is safe, I am not sure this works 100% though.

do NOT flash stock ROM without going to twrp and flashing aboot5​ first. you may brick your phone.

And what's really strange, is that the custom recovery couldn't be replaced by stock recovery when I flashed the B04 firmware. Solution must be in resoft the nvram and Efs partitions, but I don't know how
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
have you tried to backup your data.

go to twrp and wipe everything. flash b14 clean and boot. try to see if 4g works.

maybe before all that, check file p839a01.settings, in system etc. check network had this line network_mode=22,21,10,14,1:22,21; #[*]

also check your build.prop for a similar line

# Start in cdma mode

ro.telephony.default_network=22

not sure it can help, but worth a try.

Help needed

Hi, I have ZTE axon mini ( b2015) model, and I am trying to flash it to mm6.

Steps followed

1. Downloaded kingroot apk and installed the app

2. Opened the king root app and rooted my phone

3. Downloaded that b14.zip ROM file and twrp.IMG file

4. Both the files from step #3 are on sdcard

5. When I run the command lines specified in the upgrade steps, I don't see stock_recovery.IMG file ,but different app folders . is that correct?

dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/stock_recovery.img

Are you sure that you have root?

Once you get root download any "terminal emulator"(TE) (I suggest TE by Jack Pavlevich.)

Run TE, you see string like u3_43@android:/ $

I noticed that I only get 3G cellular network, compared to H+ before. Any extra step to remedy that?
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
thought H+ was 3G anyway, isn't it?
[ZTE Axon Pro] nr17:
yes, but the places where i used to get H+ , now only shows 3G. I noticed difference in speeds

<<<found this on quora>>>

3G is the next major technology which uses WCDMA radio signalling. The data rates here are comparable to edge but It offers better quality, better latency, lower delay, so making it more suitable for audio, video and streaming services.

H is HSPA which is high speed packet access.Its a enchancemnet over 3G and is mix of HSDPA (downlink) and HSUPA (uplink). Major changes were done on radio side which increased the data rates upto 3 and 7Mbps (Theoretically its much more)

H+ is Evolved HSPA. HSPA was further improved into HSPA+ where technologies like MIMO antennas were introduced which boosted the data theoritically around 160Mbps downlink and around 15Mbps uplink (practically data rate is as we see this advertised as 21Mbps)

Any users able to get H/H+ (instead of 3G) on their Axon mini after the flash to B14 MM ROM? I used to get H+ when on Android 5.1 version. I am on AT&T network. thanks
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
if you go to SIM settings/network modes you will see that only 2,3,4g are available.....so the answer is.....I doubt anyone will ever actually see the H+ symbol on the status bar. just my thought.

is your mobile internet slower than before when you were on L ROM?

not sure tweaking the APN settings can help?

once I went to Spain and I had no internet. than I realised I could load the APN settings file from the L rom. I actually open the file (found in system etc) and copied all the Spanish carriers from the L rom and pasted into the M ROM equivalent file......boooom..... internet worked straight way.

so I realised the APN settings from the china ROM isn't as complete as the one on the only international ROM for this phone.

cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] nr17:
Yes, I clearly saw the H/H+ symbol on my b2015 phone. I also tested on B2016 which has original ROM, shows the H+ symbol on it ,using the same sim card

I clearly see the reduction in the speed because of 3g
[ZTE Axon Pro] nr17:
Another side question. Can I format the B2015 phone with MM on it (b14ROM) and give to my spouse for her to use it. I am assuming it will retain the MM ROM after formatting the device..correct? thanks

NEVER reinstall stock recovery. NEVER

any ROM.zip sitting on the root of

[ZTE Axon Pro] nr17:
ok thanks.

I am also thinking of flashing B2016 (europe version), but worried the 4G ( verified) will drop to 3G . what are my options to revert back to stock?
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
If you have installed twrp and flashed the M ROM (any marshmallow rom) then follow these steps to revert back to stock ROM:

OPTION 1

- reboot recovery and flash aboot 5

- reboot into recovery again and wipe everything.

- flash stock L ROM. NOTE: you WILL lose your TWRP, you WILL lose root. your phone will be as it came from the factory.

(I have never modified the stock L rom.zip to remove the recovery-resource.dat from system/etc so I don't know if it would work. this is what we have done on the stock china M rom to avoid losing twrp. if you try and it works please let us know)

OPTION 2:

- reboot recovery and flash aboot 5

- reboot into recovery again and Restore the nandroid backup of the L ROM you (obviouly!) did just after installing TWRP. with this option you keep your twrp intact.

Regards
[ZTE Axon Pro] nr17:
