That is true. I hadn't noticed that as I never used it before. Not sure it crashed on version 4. I'll try now and let you know

Thanks for spotting this.

--------

Edit:

yes both versions crash when clicking on the "quick responses"

So far I've been using this app for 3 days and I can make and receive calls without any problems.

Im sure someone who understands android could check the logs and find what the app is complaining about!

Also, you have also to install Google contacts otherwise it will also crash when you click on a contact.......in case you froze the zte one like I did.

To install g contacts is the same, find on the web (mine is version 1.5.16) and place into system/app or priv-app

I send my phone to ZTE and i'm waiting for it. I don't know if they will fix my my phone.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Hi, I was just playing around with the default settings app and have decided to remove the functionalities I do not use or that didn't work

I have then removed from the main settings list page:

-Mi-pop (I hate these floating buttons, I have even uninstalled Mi-pop so the settings would crash If I accidentally clicked on this options)

-Double app (only works with wechat! which is ridiculous if you don't use it like me)

-Voice assistant (only works if the language is Chinese)

I also removed the "system update" from the settings quick option, but left it in the main list.

the apk is here

https://mega.nz/#!7dVx0aQJ!C8SIyZVz0gnd1QxM1H7no3Qn3x3OWNWMeIzkLNUyjxw

This makes the settings app cleaner, and more like it hasn't been tweaked so much by ZTE.

Although I did it carefully and everything IS working I found strange the settings app ended up half the size of the original (£$%"???) after I moved the modded xml from the old to the new recompiled apk (I couldn't use the new one even after signed it, so I moved the modded xmls into the original apk and it worked)

(this is the first time I decompile/recompile an app).

It sounds strange but it is working very well on my phone. But if it doesn't work for you, don't worry it will cause no harm, you can still open your file explorer and put the original back. phone won't go into bootloop because of that.

If you want to try, just go to system/priv-app/Settings_ZTE and rename the existing one to Settings_ZTE.old and past the one I did there, reboot. open the settings and see if the system update (last button on the quick settings tile) is missing, which is what I wanted!

I have also physically deleted the "double app" and the Mi-pop folder in the system and the phone is just working fine.

If I have time I'll do other stuff with the settings app, adding/changing things around, just because I can!

Cheers

why didn't you try to flash the stock lollipop rom? wasn't your stock recovery working?

D.
[ZTE Axon Pro] rank1.gg:
Please help. I have b2015, rooted and installed TWRP as per instructions on this thread.

I installed demenicis package of b09 and flashed b2016 modem either on my b2015. That was a mistake.

However Android M loaded fine with WIFI but no phone signal ofc.

So I went back to TWRP and deleted Dalvik, cache, data and internal storage!! And tried to install demenicis b09 again.

Now my phone turns off during flashing, usually at 10-30%.
[ZTE Axon Pro] marus2:
[MENTION=5910346]rank1.gg[/MENTION]

If you can enter recovery, flash aboot image of 5.1.1 from this post.

After that flash stock B09 - thats all.

Remember to delete the file /system/etc/recovery-resource.dat if you want TWRP.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Hi, your problem is very easy to solve:

1) firstly, you guys MUST read this thread a bit better, otherwise you will end up hard bricking your phone like it just happened to two people, a few posts ago!

2) secondly, the recovery turns off because you DIDN'T flash the lollipop aboot before flashing/backup/restore ROMS. Basically you MUST "pretend" to the recovery you have a lollipop system. When you finish flashing whatever you are flashing, FLASH THE ABOOT 6 (marshmallow) BEFORE YOU REBOOT.

ok, now the recovery issues ARE CLEAR, isn't it?

3) Thirdly, the rom I posted the B09 ROM is fine for the B2015, you don't need to flash the Modem afterwards. The modem is for the B2016 phones only.

summarily, simply do step 2.......flash aboot 5,

reboot recovery again

, flash the ROM I posted, flash the aboot6, reboot system. It WILL work.

Cheers

Hi, I find the problem for my phone, when I reflash marshmallow rom, dont finish install, somelink failed ! How can I fix that ? if I want to delete the internal memory, will be better?
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
what do you mean by didn't finish? did the recovery turn off and the screen goes black? or it flashed but you are now in a bootloop?

if either of the above is what happened, then it is confirmed you did not read the process step by step correctly.

your problem is very easy to solve if this is the case, and I'll leave you alone to get it sorted.

The answer is on the very description you pasted above. flash each file, one by one, and don't miss ANY step.

However, the steps I wrote previously work perfectly if you had LOLLIPOP and are now installing MARSHMALLOW.

if you already flashed marshmallow and are trying again, you must flash the file A first, and reboot recovery again, then proceed as described.

in summary

INSTRUCTIONS (

assuming you are in lollipop 5.1.1

)

1- Boot into recovery

2-wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache

3-reboot into recovery again

4-flash files 01, 02,03, 04(optional), on this order then flash file B (file B-aboot 6.0.1 is super important or you phone won't boot)

5-reboot your system, it may take a while for the first time.

6-install apk01 (google things)

7-install apk02 (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS (

assuming you are already in Marshmallow 6.0.1

and want to re-flash it)

1- Boot into recovery

2-wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache

2.1 - Flash file A

3-reboot into recovery again

4-flash files 01, 02,03, 04(optional), on this order then flash file B (file B-aboot 6.0.1 is super important or you phone won't boot)

5-reboot your system, it may take a while for the first time.

6-install apk01 (google things)

7-install apk02 (optional)

If you did everything correctly and the rom isn't still flashing (and you made sure you flashed last file [that think you missed] after flashing the rom),

then please download the ROM again, you may have had a corrupt download.

Regards
[ZTE Axon Pro] Mihail67:
Thanks man, was my mistake, somewhere, anyway, I re-downloaded rom, finish flash, now it's ok with google play store, I'm very happy. Thanks again for your help ! YOU ARE THE BEST !
[ZTE Axon Pro] simrim1:
I'm sure he is not following the instructions as described. But I can confirm that even after flashing Lollipop aboot screen goes blank while flashing Marshmallow. What I have figured out is that phone is still running in recovery mode because when I try to restart it in recovery mode it takes about 10 secs to vibrate but I keep pressing volume+ button until it enters recovery mode again. Then I flash Marshmallow again and it goes through successfully.

[MENTION=5852561]demenicis[/MENTION] have you figured out a way to move gapps to system? Whenever I move them to system they stop working.

---------- Post added at 10:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 AM ----------

Root works on alternate Reboots. E.g if root is working on your current boot then reboot the system it will stop working. Then reboot and it will start working. But sometimes it works on consecutive reboots.
[ZTE Axon Pro] rank1.gg:
power+vol- always works on b2015 just did few again while typing. I forgot you have b2016 haha. The older the better :- D

[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Hi,

1) In my experience, I flash the aboot5 then

I reboot recovery again

before flashing the ROM, then you can flash the aboot 6 straight after the ROM with no need for rebooting recovery again. it always worked

2) Yes my gapps are working perfectly for ages now, very stable so far. I simply placed the "google playstore in the root of system/priv-app and reboot.

However I have both "google play store" (dirty copy into the root of system/priv-app) and "google play services" (GMS core, properly placed in system/priv-app subfolder as it comes with the rom already) listed as "updated" by titanium backup, so I guess they are both in the system with a newer (or even the same) version installed on top, outside the system. you may uninstall the updates, leaving the ones in system only to begin with. reboot and see what happens. I had once to clear data of all the main google apps (service framework, google account manager, playstore and play service) reboot then re-add my google account, it is being there untouched and working well since.

3) I accidentally updated SuperSU in playstore, but as you said, it worked every other reboot. I then used an app called "3C tool" to move supers to system too. This app is the first one I found that moves apps to system correctly (i.e. created the app subfolder in system app or priv app) and not in the "dirty" way I did with some others (just pasting them into the root of system/app outside any subfolder). TB doesn't move apps to the system correctly, don't even try.

I also used es file explorer to turn the partition /su read only. Well it still "looses the root" sometimes, but very rarely now. I reboot a lot and can say I can reboot 5-6 times and super SU still works. If not it does on the next reboot. My theory is that if I keep the system files quite, supersu stays fine, but If I clear cache or dalvik cache or move apps to system it seems it stops working after the first reboot, but I'm not fully sure this is actually true.

P.S im contacting the seller to get The offical update from the company if i got it i will upload it for you guys hope you try too
[ZTE Axon Pro] kvaitt:
THIS IS FOR THE ROM M, 6.0.1 B09 (without force touch, sorry, but to be honest I never used it anyway!)

Just to be clear, I HAVE NOT MADE OR CREATED ANY OF THESE FILES. the only thing I did was to remove the recovery from the original ZTE stock ROM, which was downloaded from the ZTE official website as an open source file.

you will find the following files:

A-aboot_5.1.1 (from lollipop)

B-aboot_6.0.1 (from Marshmallow)

apk01-Google_installer[1] (thanks to google and crisvetta for finding the file)

apk02-XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4[1] (thanks to the amazing creators of xposed framework)

01-update (BIG thanks for ZTE!!!) this file is the stock but without the recovery

02-modem_B2016_M[1] (massive thanks to [MENTION=1546029]Bormental[/MENTION] for figuring a way to make the b2015 work on the b2016 model)

03-SuperSU_V2.62-3[1] (thanks to the amazing creators of super SU)

04-xposed-v86-sdk23-arm64[1] (thanks to the amazing creators of xposed framework)

PRE-REQUIREMENTS

- ROOT AND TWRP RECOVERY ALREADY INSTALLED ON YOU PHONE.

NOTE: to date, root is only possible to be obtained on the lollipop ROM. so if you have lollipop you MUST root & install the twrp your phone before doing anything else.

INSTRUCTIONS (assuming you are in lollipop 5.1.1)

1- Boot into recovery

2-wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache

3-reboot into recovery again

4-flash files 01, 02,03, 04(optional), on this order then flash file B (file B-aboot 6.0.1 is super important or you phone won't boot)

5-reboot your system, it may take a while for the first time.

6-install apk01 (google things)

7-install apk02 (optional)

to conclude (optional) you can also load both the splash.bin (thanks to Bormental for the instructions)

Via terminal, I did directly from the phone)

su

dd if=/sdcard/splash.bin of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/splash)

and the bootanimation (thanks to [MENTION=7192840]Crisvendetta[/MENTION] for posting)

"Phone must be rooted. Replace the original bootanimation.zip (located system/media with this one) Be sure that the permissions remain the same on the file, i think it is rw -r -r" (IT IS CORRECT!!!)

if you want.

I hope it all works, but let me know if anything went wrong.

Cheers

I bet you clicked in "reboot system", and not gone few steps back to select "reboot recovery".

If you just wipe system your system obviously won't reboot.

Once again the answer for how to reboot recovery from a bootloop is already here in this forum, in fact I asked this question and [MENTION=1546029]Bormental[/MENTION] answered.

power+vol+ for 10 seconds, keep holding, phone will reboot. keep holding 10 more seconds, phone will reboot again, keep holding and in 5 seconds phone will turn the screen off and you release the buttons immediately. phone will power off.

then you just hold power+vol and it will reboot recovery and you start from there. REMEMBER THE ABOOT FILE.

What are the differences between B08 and B09?

I'm on B08 M, not sure it's worth upgrading to B09....

(Phone is B2015)
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
That is funny because the b2016 should have the b08 ROM which is force touch one.

The b2015 should have the b09 therefore.

It is funny because I have a b2016 phone with the b09 (wrong) ROM and you are in the exact opposite scenario.

I can't tell you the difference other than the fact the b09 doesn't have the force touch options in the settings menu.

Guys, I got here rly weird problem. Looks like TWRP running on my system can't process files bigger than about about 400MB. Whenever i try to flash rom (which has 1,5G), process ends in about 30 percent by simply turning system off.

Same occurs when i try to push file via adb (it gets roughly to 30% copied, then system turns off again).

I'm starting to be out of ideas what could be wrong here. what do you think?

Hi Guys, I have read the whole Thread yesterday for some hours and I´m really happy to see it is going forward to make this great phone better and better.

Thanks for that.

I managed to root my B2016, installed TWRP and the tweaked M version with Xposed and SuperSU.

It was working great, but I´m a german and the rom is in english (knew it before but wanted to test it) and some things are still in chinese.

So I decided to go back to 5.1 and restored my nandroid.

Now I want to install Xposed, but no luck with it.

When i flash the sdk22 Version (which is for 5.1 L) TWRP says it can´t be flashed. When I flash SuperSU prior to xposed it let´s me install it, but after a reboot it boots back into recovery.

No matter if with the aboot file or w/o...

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

To install android L back you had to:

-flash aboot5

-reboot recovery

-restore you ROM L

-I think you didn't need flashing superSU again if you nandroid was already rooted. But I think no harm in doing so.

-for xposed, did you flash this file- "xposed-v81-sdk22-arm64.zip"?

I'm doing a long research to see if/how I can extra languages in this rom. Pretty much all apps I have decompiled (just to see inside them) have all languages translation. [MENTION=1546029]Bormental[/MENTION], do you know what app is responsible for showing the language picker menu with en or Chinese? Is it the framework-restore.apk, or the settings_ZTE.apk? Any ideas?

Do you think it is possible for us to add other languages. I don't have hope there will be an update for this phone now that it has been replaced by the 7mini.

I read in some websites that it isn't possible but im not yet convinced about it.

Try morelocale2 from Google play store on B09.

I reinstalled my nandroid only by restrimg it from the recovery and everything works fine exept installing xposed.

I reflashed my nandroid by the way you describe obove with the same result. It says: Unable to flash xposed. Mistake or fault (from german "Fehler"): 1

´system/xposed.prop already exists

[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Have you tried to flash the disable xposed.zip? Then trying to flash it again?

Also, another Idea:

Via recovery, use the file explorer to Go to system folder and delete this file xposed.prop. then tey flashing it again.

These ideas are PURE guess, but I'm sure you can't brick the phone by trying. You have the backup anyway.

A 3rd idea:

Go to recovery, wipe system. Reflash your backup. There is no way xposed would survive this.

Cheers

---------- Post added at 04:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------

@Bormental, a question for you mate:

Is it possible for me to make a flashable .zip from my nandroid backup? Is it too difficult to do?

I only want the system on it, no data needed

Edit: a bit more googling and I found the answers, I did it but wasn't brave enough to flash it yet so I could test it. The zip is on my SD card now, but I'm not sure at all it will work. Thanks
[ZTE Axon Pro] Swamp-Thing:
Thanks for your help, but I have already tried the xposed uninstaller. The xposed.prop does not exist, nor via solid eplorer, neither via recovery explorer.

Now I tried to make a new nandroid and it stopped with: "Prozess createTarFork() endete mit FEHLER: 255"

Maybe something wrong with the recovery ? :confused:
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
I doubt there is anything wrong with this recovery.

Go into it and flash the aboot5.

Reboot recovery AGAIN

Wipe you cache, dalvik AND system.

-Restore you backup. If it is lollipop then simply reboot. If rom M you need to flash about 6 BEFORE rebooting.

Check it is all ok with your rom.

Back in recovery. Install the correct xposed. I don't think you need to install the aboot 5 to do this, (you don't need it for flashing SuperSU), but if it fails, then do the aboot5, reboot recovery, flash xposed, aboot 6 then reboot (if rom M!)

If you do all this and still didn't get xposed to work, then your xposed.zip may be corrupted, redownload it.

Otherwise......then I'd start to suspect you, somehow, messed up with your recovery. Just reinstall it via adb to be safe.

PS: be very careful NOT to restore the recovery itself from the nandroid backup. Just do the system (and day if you wish)
