Is the situation that when flashing Chinese marshmallow on international version, fingerprint works but there's no network? With Axon Elite it was the same, but I got Chinese rom to work by extracting modem files (modem.b00-modem.b22, modem.mdt) from NON-HLOS.BIN of international lollipop rom. Then I added these files to Chinese marshmallow update.zip etc/firmware folder and modified updater-script with modem file symlinks. Then network and fingerprint was working. Maybe the same works here.

The link to the ZTE Axon mini root isn't working
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Mate that was a brilliant tip. I have tried (very badly) to replace files from b03 into b09, so did crisveta with no success.

Hopefully, Bormental will read your post, understand it (which is the most important part!) and implement it as you described.

Thanks for the tip, if joined try I'll this weekend ifbtime allows.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
I don't really know how to edit the script. Will see if it is easy and try then,if anyone (mainly Bormental) gets it to work earlier, would be great!

The only thing missing right noe is the fingerprint
[ZTE Axon Pro] dragooden:
Are there any official updates for B2016 to Android 6? I have B04 firmware and the phone works very badly.

Thanks.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Hi. You say your phone is bad

Yes we all know that stock settings and performance is bad.

So i expand my question: are you even rooted to begin with? If not you then exclude any possible way to improve it.

I have b03 and the phone works so well I can live with it with lollipop for ever. I actually do not want to upgrade. I simply do not feel i need it. However I'm curious and really into comparing things so I will....when fingerprint works, I use it a lot

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] dragooden:
Hello, thanks for the answer,

Yes, I have a rooted phone. Can you indicate what do to are doing better?

Audiophile 2 cents

I'm on 6.0.1 just installed Tidal and took HIFI plan, set Dolby Audio on with volume leveler OFF, Dialogue Enhancer - OFF, Surround - OFF, equalizer as default on Open.

THE SOUND IS JUST SUPER AMAZING CLEAR & RICH, you can feel that you are in the live concert.

Last time I have experienced similar audiophile grade sound was when i plugged my Atomic Floyd MiniDarts into 300Euro portable heavy box audio player with strong DAC inside.

can't believe that I just paid 176eur for b2015 axon mini, rofl. ZTE RULES! <3

Hi Dragoon

Please go back in this forum and try installing that "remove journal" script I posted some months ago.

Also install an app called CPU audiutor and set your governor to ondemand, and set all cores to be on all the time (don't worry, they go to sleep when phone screen is off)

You can try these first and see if your phone feels better to handle.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
For the gaming part. I installed mortal combat x on january as soon as I bought the phone, it lagged a lot. How is it possible that now it runs seamlessly with the new ROM. I mean same hardware, different experience.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Why don't you install CPU audiutor and let us know what the default settings are in the new rom?

The stock lollipop, basically comes as:

- governor interactive

-small cores all on

-2/4 cores on the big one

-frequencies pretty much either max or stuck down on 800Mhz

-GpU set down to stay at 200MHz and not at 550 max as I do now.

Please also check things like entropy and the default settings for the separate CPU hot plug.

Not sure this is the case, but could reasonably explain why the same hardware can work better?

Cheers

How did you do it? I did the following with Elite rom, so [MENTION=1546029]Bormental[/MENTION] and [MENTION=7192840]Crisvendetta[/MENTION], try to do the following:

-I extracted modem.b00-modem.b22, modem.mdt files from international lollipop NON-HLOS.bin.

-added Lollipop modem.b00-modem.b22, modem.mdt to system\etc\firmware\ folder in Chinese Marshmallow update.zip

-find updater-script from Chinese Marshmallow update.zip (from folder META-INF\com\google\android\) and add the following lines:

symlink("/system/etc/firmware/modem.b00", "/firmware/image/modem.b00");
symlink("/system/etc/firmware/modem.b01", "/firmware/image/modem.b01");
symlink("/system/etc/firmware/modem.b03", "/firmware/image/modem.b03");

hi dudes.

after trying to flash the wrong rom and recovery i lost recovery mode on my zte b2016, even lost adb connection and fastboot connection, while fastboot detects the device but does not accept or apply any command.

i think it is a hard brick situation.

can any one help me solving my problrem ???? please.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
​

So only recovery is missing and system does work? If so you must root the phone and flash twrp via terminal .

[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
Ok guys. It seems the software won't be updated anytime soon. The only choice for now is building a custom rom for the phone, a good choice would be pure android 6.0 which performs a lot better .I have a S4 of a friend here and installed a custom rom, it performs a lot better than my axon mini. I have rooted previous phones but have yet to make a custom ROM, I have some spare time to spend with this. If anyone is interested and has knowledge, lets share the sources and try to build a custom ROM based on 6.0 .

Hope you join the team

All the best !

Please help me,

I have a ZTE Axom mini B2015V1.0.0B05 from China,

1st: i tried to root it by Chinese software from zterom.com and succeeded.

2nd: I tried to flash custom recovery by ADB and succeeded but when I boot to recovery my phone was idling to ZTE logo, I tried to restart and boot normally. At this moment my recovery is not accessible but rooted.

3rd: I downloaded ZTE AXON MINI B2016 update from ZTE, tried to install but failed, then i copy the B2016 build.prop and replaced the B2015 build.prop located in \system files

Then restart after booting my phone is idles on ZTE logo.

Before,I click on USB debugged but not the allow anytime. Now my phone when connected to pc is Unauthorized..

Is there a possibility to restore my phone. Is it brick already?<br />

[ZTE Axon Pro] Bormental:
[MENTION=7308398]EdgeTheraited[/MENTION], please do not flash your phone If you do not know how to. The procedure is just like any other phone but this phone is easy to get bricked.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Luckily I have played dangerously with my b2016 and nothing too bad happened (yet) but I was always careful NOT to loose the twrp recovery after having waited for quite a while to get it (thanks to bormental obviously)

Always open the file you are about to flash and make sure there isnt another recovery inside which WILL override the one you currently have)

Bormental, why do you say the phone is tricky to recover, is it because the bootloader is locked or because without recovery&system noone can actually save the phone. If zte can there must be a way.

Thanks

Modem image for B2016 6.0.1 ROMs ported from B2015.

Should be Installed with TWRP just after installing the ROM.

It is possible to install any 6.0.1 B2015 ROMs with flashing this modem after the ROM.

To avoid resetting to stock recovery and keeping TWRP alive I recommend to delete the file /system/etc/recovery-resource.dat from update.zip before flashing the official ROM.
[ZTE Axon Pro] EdgeTheraited:
[MENTION=1546029]Bormental[/MENTION] so everyting is good on 6.0.1 rom for b2016 and no problems?
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
Some recovery problems

So I am trying to flash the modem file, it says successfully but fingerprint won't work. I wrongly flashed a rom with the stock recovery but twrp still opens as a recovery. The problem is that it doesn't flash files correctly even if it says it did, cannot do a backup because phone shuts down halfway and many other problems.

Is there any way to fix this?

Does flashing ZTE's MM ROM relock bootloader?
[ZTE Axon Pro] Piraze91:
Hi, I have a big problem now. When i flash a rom my recovery turns of, and my system partition is empty. The rom was working fine and your modem file was working very well, but when i tried to install gapps, my phone was stuck on "checking connection" so i decided to install clean rom. Then my recovery wasn't working. It start the installation and the screen turns of. I was in TWRP and decided to return to the stock recovery but i have the same problem.

Could you help me please.
[ZTE Axon Pro] simrim1:
As far as I know Axon mini bootloader was never unlocked.
[ZTE Axon Pro] ImSoBored:
I remember the Lollipop ROM allowing to unlock bootloader under Developer Options. If it was locked, I believe having CyanogenMod and TWRP would be very difficult, and this phone has both.
[ZTE Axon Pro] simrim1:
Well I am not expert on these things but you can have custom recovery and custom ROM even with locked bootloader. [MENTION=1546029]Bormental[/MENTION] please correct me if I am wrong that locked bootloader means that we can't use fastboot commands in bootloader mode. Correct?
[ZTE Axon Pro] simrim1:
Can you please guide me how to install marshmallow with working network? At the moment I have lollipop B03, rooted and twrp. Thx
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Bormental just referred to the aboot file on previous page.

It seems the twrp can only flash files correctly with the lollipop aboot.

Flash the lollipop aboot, flash the file you want, then you have to flash the marshmallow aboot before using the new room.

I'll try to go through this process tonight and I'm thinking about sharing my nandroid back later.

If you have a workable rom now, just wait a bit

HI all, I decided to try out the M ROM again, in the hope I could post the full nandroid backup later.

However I'm struggling to connect my phone to the PC, I tried at home and at work, so it IS problem with the phone. (It never happened to me before, I have been connecting this phone to my PCs all the time)

I have uninstalled the phone driver, reboot pc, plug the phone in......windows tries to install the drive and after a little while says :

"Device drive software was not successfully installed---USB MTP Device...Failed".

My 32Gb sd card works on the phone, just fine.

The phone connects as "install driver" and "Charge only", I tried to install the driver again, directly from the phone embedded driver, it installs but I still cannot connect to the PC after that.

It is strange that when connected to the PC, although it fails to install the driver and cannot read the SD card or internal memory, the PC shows (near the clock) the USB storage icon with the option to eject "android"

I have tried several different cables, all the same.

I have just restore the system from an older nandroid backup, no help.

Any clues on why this is happening? any frozen apps that could be preventing the phone driver to be installed on any PC?

Thanks you in advance
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
I managed to read my SD card mounting it from the twrp recovery. Lets hope the next M ROM sorts it out.

Will flash it tonight

Thanks
[ZTE Axon Pro] marus2:
Right now I cannot turn off my phone.

Holding power only reboot phone, which is mean it stand in bootloop.

Edit: This helps me enter recovery

And just now phone started in a fresh Android 6 instalation.

But there is not gaps. Which one you prefer?

After installing nano gaps, phone cannot be used due to error message "Unfortunately, setup wizard has stopped". If I press ok, message pops up again and again...

So I did factory reset...After conecting to my home wifi phone stops at the screen "Checking conncetion" and do nothing. Will wait 10 minutes, if none happens, I will return to B04 :(

Hi. It was a real pain but I got it working....well....nearly.

Flashed b09. Flashed modern. Tested. All OK.

Reboot. Flash SuperSU. It worked.....not for too long

Installed the google installer. Glitches here and there but worked.

Downloaded a few apps etc....

Reboot and google play stopped working. Log in again.....worked. Reboot. Google play once again stopped working, it seems play services disappeared. Cannot conclude the google installer process again. I have got no google play.

And worse. SuperSU disappeared too!

I have reflashef it 11 times now. With 5.1.1 aboot and without. All options, making sure the aboot 6 was flashed back after every try.

Conclusion:

- we must find a more robust, maybe flashable googla package

- not sure why I lost root, but I simply cannot get it back.

- the twrp was an amazing achievement, but is there a way to adapt it for android 6 eliminating the need for this about thing.

- last, is it possible to flash the older boot animation so we can get rid of any Chinese symbols?

Please help me getting the SuperSU and play store back

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] marus2:
Try install google play from zte market. It works for me.

But now I have not menu for syncing contacts from google account
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Thanks.

My issues were quite easy to sort. 5minutes after I posted my previous message, I symply went to accounts, and added a google one. Then play store worked and I simply downloaded SuperSU, installed, updated the binaries straight away (therefore the phone WAS still rooted!).

Rebooted and both SuperSU and play store still working. I'm super happy now.

It is still not so straight forward, but the phone is definitely better and there is no delay in SuperSU to respond the root requests from apps.

I'll try now to fnd the right xposed.

It is still a bit anoying to backup the phone though, the backup doesn't work without the aboot thing I mentioned before......but at least it works.

Thanks for the help. Why don't you try the google installer apk too. I think after the first time run, maybe remove and add a new account.

One thing I cannot get is how this Google installer can "inject" apps into system before I actually had installed SuperSU!

Cheers

-------++++--------

Edit. Just noticed. Yes I cannot sync contacts either.

I'll try to use the email app to setup my gmail to see if the contacts sync. I only use gmail to keep my contacts safe, I used to have problem with hotmail not syncing well before.

Hi could you let Me know, or post, the exact framework installer you use?

I tried the sdk23 version 86 but nothing happens to the phone after the "updating 135" files (dalvik cleared)

The app inst even installed.

I didn't find a way to sync my contacts from google. Unbelievable that this stupid problem happens after all this work.

I'll wait a bit longer and tri other things, maybe a third party app?

Thanks

Edit: google contact sync SOLVED.

just cleared data of google contact sync and google account manager using titanium backup. Reboot and "voila". Contacts appeared on google account list of options. I might try now the same for the calendar which is not shown yet.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] marus2:
Google calendar is easy, just install it from play store..

But I'm not familiar with titanium backup. Can you describe this process, which lead you to contacts sync?
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Maye ,just clear the data of those 2 apps I said.

I used TB just because I have it. Any root app manager will do.

Then reboot and go back to your Google account sync options and see if the contacts aren't there.

I have all of my 273 contacts, perfect with all the photos

can you upload the rom with these tweaks so we can already flash it to be everything ready?

That would be good. Be my request is far simpler and easier:

Any chance you can tell me how to modify or to flash the old boot animation? Or even post a flashable zip for it?

Can I simply flash the boot partition from my old nandroid backup (I doubt it!)

Yes will upload it in a bit.
