Did not work

I Try all these steps, including the ADB DEFAULT MODE, did alot of times, but my axon b2016 makes any changes. I guess only b2015 can be root with this kind program..

And my anti virus alerted me that this program has TROJAN.. well, about that i dont know what to talk about
[ZTE Axon Pro] Dabbele:
It works on my B2016. I have root with this Instruktion.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Heze85:
No no ADB and you habe to download the update.ZIP for the a2016 , the Rest is the same , i will upload the files tomorow

---------- Post added at 09:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 PM ----------

Thats normal, simple Reroot IT With the Known Methode

---------- Post added at 09:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 PM ----------

Yes IT is a Kind of trojan, like every root ? no worrys .

Please try not only the default.mode and do it step by step, when you click on the root button, do it twice or more, until your phone restart
[ZTE Axon Pro] orbitz52:
I tried to reroot it with the method in this thread, may unit crash after reboot it says "unfortunate ly stopped" like that. Cant boot into the system.

In ADB shell mine is # so it is still root, but no root capabilities. To revert back i push the files inside /system/bin

I made some backup,

What i have is update from B2016 from zte thailand. Its 1.24Gb will this do? Can i push thr files by ADB?
[ZTE Axon Pro] Swamp-Thing:
Thanks! That´s what I thaught. But I only have the Hong Kong Version, downloaded at the ZTE site. Is this the international?
[ZTE Axon Pro] Bormental:
The international firmware for b2016 you can get on Russian site: http://myzte.ru/smartphones/axon/axon-mini-/
[ZTE Axon Pro] Swamp-Thing:
Thanks for your help.

Flashing the safed original Recovery passes, but after a reboot TWRP is still present.

Flashing an original stock rom doesn´t work. There is something missing in the zip file. On the Hong Kong and on the Russian version the same...
[ZTE Axon Pro] Bormental:
It may be only if your saved recovery is TWRP also. Choose "Install zip", press "Install IMG" button, select your saved stock-recovery.img file, chose "recovery" partition upon request.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Swamp-Thing:
This is exactly what I did.

I flashed TWRP this way:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66922397&postcount=257

Tried to get it back to stock the same way with terminal command but still TWRP there. May be the stock_recovery.img is corrupt.

Has anyone got the stock_recovery.img file and could upload it here?

This is getting really weired. Finally managed to flash the stock update.zip. Dirty flashed just to try it. Passed and get system.ui stopped messages after boot.

So full wiped to make a clean flash but then TWRP wasn´t able to flash the update.zip (none of the two).

No matter what I do, TWRP stays as rocovery
[ZTE Axon Pro] iliakele:
this device have Hebrew language?
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Once again you guys don't read our previous posts!

Prior to flash the stock zip, which should wipe you twrp, YOU MUST FLASH THE ABOOT5 FILE, reboot recovery then finally install your stock ROM.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] Swamp-Thing:
You are soo right! Pardon, I´m rooting and customizing a S6 and a S4 all at the same time with the Axon and so I forgot to flash the damn aboot file. Idiot me :mad:

So I´m now able to flash the update.zip, but TWRP still stays there and there is no way to make it go away :crying:

Do I have to flash with Odin or something??

EDIT: Wanted to make one last try and went to system-settings and did an offline update with the update.zip.

It booted automatically to TWRP, ran the update, passed it, rebooted and said in system that the update was not completed.

I booted manually to the recovery and voila: MiFavor Recovery :)

Thank you Guys

Hello! can be installed Marshmallow in the axon mini B2016??

Enviado desde mi ZTE B2016 mediante Tapatalk
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Yes, my phone is b2016.

However, if you are asking this question is because you didn't read this thread, so I would not recommend you to even try.

You will mess up your phone.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
For the new guys I will be updating the first post pretty soon.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
So guys, I deleted gestures and now screenshot functionality does not work. Any way of adding it back without re-installing the whole rom?
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
Guys, think I found how to get an international 6.0.1 rom on the axon mini. So recently the Axon 7 mini got released which is on Marshmallow and has almost the same processor sd 617. I think it wouldn't be hard to edit the rom so that it fits axon mini. Another advantage is that the mini will be futureproof as it will get international android 7.0 nougat too :)

Can't wait to get this done
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
As far as I played around with my phone, the process for restoring a deleted system app is very simple.

Go to your stock zip, which should likely already be in your SD card.

Using es file explorer, open the zip and browse to system/app and find the app folder you have deleted, in this case "zgesture".

Press and hold on the FOLDER and extract it somewhere in your SD. Remember, when extracted you will have the same structure, I.e. system/app/your app.

Now, simply copy the extracted [your app only] folder into your system (same place where it was before) and reboot.

No need to actually install anything, simply paste into system and after the reboot it should be all normally again, or so I hope.

Let me know if it worked.

In the worst case, restoring system only takes less than 5minutes really, and it doesn't affect any apps or data.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] havoklant:
I would really appreciate that. Just read trough the last 20 or so pages and this phone is still a mystery for me.

I found the following post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69271424&postcount=731

I downloaded the BV1.0.0B12 file and put it on my SD card, under system updates, I can proceed to install this update.

Is it safe to update? I dont have any root or custom recovery installed.

My phone is the B2016 version, and it cannot find any OTA updates.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
It is an interesting question....it would work if your phone was b2015.

It would work on b2016 if it wasn't the modem issue .....so the answer is.....no it won't work. You have got to rooted, otherwise forget marshmallow. Simple

To summarise this entire thread:

-only lollipop can be rooted.

-only on rooted lollipop you can install twrp.

-once twrp is installed, you are the king. You can do anything on you phone, even turn it into a flying rocket.

-a big "HOWEVER" here. You may lose root AND twrp if you don't prepare/modify the M ROM zip before flashing it.

Now try to follow these steps by searching bits of this thread, in this order.

Root

Twrp

Mod to M ROM zip.

That's is all, not too difficult.

Edit.: it just occurred to me that if you edit the b12 rom, removing the Modem AND the recovery, it may work on UNROOTED b2016 phone. [MENTION=1546029]Bormental[/MENTION], do you think the stock recovery would be able to flash a stock, but modified, zip?

I'm not sure and this is untested.

The only thing I think I'm sure is that you will never be able to root your phone after that.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
The zip must be signed for the stock recovery to install it, so no, I don't think it is possible. Thanks for the workaround on the gestures part.
[ZTE Axon Pro] havoklant:
Very clear. Thanks for your help!

I'll wait a little while to see if ZTE comes with an OTA update. If not, I'll start rooting my phone :D

Its been a while since I rooted a phone, but with these steps it should be doable.

In the meantime Ill keep an eye on the thread. Thanks again!
[ZTE Axon Pro] Bormental:
Any modified (or just repacking unmodified) zip archive will loose its signature. So it can't be installed by stock recovery.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Thanks mate, that is what I thought.

However I'm not sure I'm missing something on the "signed" concept.

It might be a different matter but when I decompiled, changed and recompiled the "settings_zte" app, it didn't work even trying to sign it later with a signing app.

I thought I'd never managed what I wanted but....

I made it work in a cheating way I suppose.

I decompiled changed and recompiled the app.

Then I took both the original settings app and renamed them to .zip. openend both with winrar and moved a few modded XML files from the new to the original, renamed back to .apk and placed into the system. It worked.

So I thought that I managed to simply keep the signature of the original even after modifying it?

Well it may not be the case for a whole rom.zip rather than for a simple app anyway, and I totally believe you guys!

Also, there is not a chance of me ever be able to test it and risk loosing my precious twrp.

Thanks

BUGS:

hi I managed to find what I think are 2 fairly substantial bugs yesterday.

1) camera: manual mode doesn't work. It was an amazing feature on b03( lollipop), but now crashes.

2) open zte dialer, scroll down, boom, crash. It doesn't crash on the second tab (contacts) but does on the first tab (call log, below speed dial contacts)

Can you confirm it happens to you too?

The 2) is not a big issued as I'm using google dialer anyway, but 1) really upset me:)

I tried to replace the camera app by the b12 and the b03 os but I ended up breaking the app in such a way that I had to restore my entire data to make the camera work again, restoring system only did NOT make the camera work, I tried twice and even cleared dvk cache with no success.

Camera works again now, but no manual mode.

Thanks

Guys anybody facing problem that when charging to 100% the percent goes down to 98% so fast then to 89% while the phone is not running any apps my device is B2016 b04 update hope can anybody tell me what to do

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
I'd root, install twrp then upgrade to marshmallow.

Sorry if this isn't helpful, but I bet many of us aren't interested in solving lollipop ROM issues, anymore considering how much better and faster M ROM is. Sorry.

Just to say I tried to help, go to miassistant and tap the big round button. Then check the autostart settings and check all is turned on or off as you wish. My b03 used to be good in terms of battery at least.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] nospherwtf:
I'm encountered a problem on B09.

Whenever any navigation app finds my location through GPS, it lost GPS device (GPS icon gone away, no more coordinates given).

When restart app it gain signal from GPS again till find my location.

On B04 navigation works fine.

Anyone have same problem?
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Maps, speed camera and here all work fine. Even all at the same time. Well and reliable, I use maps on daily basis.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
I am on b12 and both camera and dialer work great. Guess some random issues occuring . If we can find a way to merge it with the axon 7 mini rom in the future would be great, as it is internatiol and will keep us up to date for at least nougat 7.0
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
Disassembly

By the way, I did a disassembly myself of the phone, be careful te start from the bottom side, remove the two screws and keep going up. I messed up the upper part of the rear plastic and took 2 hours to get it looking like new again.

I wanted te replace the vibration motor, it is so small, thats why vibration can barely be felt.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Thanks mate, but could you be very specific on the camera issue for me?

Have you actually tried to open the camera app, swipe to the right, and click on the manual mode to see if it crashes?

I'm really wanting to find if it only happens to me or to everyone.

Thanks
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Hi. As far as my mechanical engineering skills go, instead of replacing the motor, why not simply adding more mass (weight) to the eccentric bit that spins (I.e. an extra blob of weld? But be careful, a tiny bit of weight will have a huge impact on the vibration)? If the motor isn't"ripped" off its fixing screws, it will certainly work:)

I'm not particularly bothered about the vibration really, to me it is fine although I agree it is not too strong, but I am truly bothered about the Manual mode on the camera not working on b09. Im dying to know if the manual mode works on b12.

PLEASE SOMEONE CONFIRM!!! In camera, swipe right, click in manual mode, crash.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
Yes, I meant the manual mode, everything works.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Thanks for the confirmation. Unfortunately I really like/need xposed so I'll have to stick to b09 for now.

I think I ll have another try in loading the b12 app into the b09.

Iusy have made a mistake somewhere.

Anybody else having the same issue on b09 or this is just me?

PS:

I like the idea of adapting the axon 7 mini ROM. I just don't really don't know how to even start the process.

---------- Post added at 11:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 PM ----------

I'm just about to receive the phone and would really have it updated to MM, but since it will be a present for my god son, I would like to know as said before, if the B09 or the b12 versions supports the italian language.

again thanks

;)
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Thanks guys for the confirmation.

I have already factory reset my 3 times and restore old and recent backups and it doesn't work on mine. I'm not sure why but I'm decided to find out.

Do you have xposed installed? This question is for b09 obviously as xposed is know bootloops b12.

Thanks again
[ZTE Axon Pro] marus2:
No. Unfortunately, still doesn't find time to install Xposed.

[MENTION=5908748]master66[/MENTION]: only Chinese and English. But you can install morelocale2 from play store and translate level would be at same level as B04
[ZTE Axon Pro] nospherwtf:
I didn't install xposed too.

Google as the default dialer

Hi, I have just updated the post where I recommend the apps that can safe be removed.

The reason for that is a little trick I found about making gd the default dialer, otherwise the phone app will crash.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69272702&postcount=735

There is a hidden setting option to make it the default one, and for that you have to use the settings search.

Actually the search functionality has many hidden options you will never find otherwise.

Another example is the option for the default "assistant" too, which was the final trick to make the new Google assistant finally work in my phone (you need xposed n-ify installed but deactivated, AND assistant enabler module active AND, a minimum version for the google app itself)
[ZTE Axon Pro] marus2:
Did the settings/quick responses still crashes, even if it is default dialer?
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Is it still does.

But the zte dialer crashes every time I scroll the call log list which to me is far worse. Never mind the fact it does not show the contacts pictures either.

Anyway the message here is the fact we are not tight to the stock dialer to be able to make calls, which is good.

I personally do not find the zte dialer, sms and contacts apps bad (the email is horrendous though) They are professionally designed and have lots of nice options. Just to be fair.

Cheers

---------- Post added at 11:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 PM ----------

Sorry for the late reply, but I do not have any clock widget in the b09 rom.

Have you tried Google clock? It may have a similar widget. Just try.
[ZTE Axon Pro] marus2:
Lol, on Aliexpress you can buy B2016 from $140.

I think very good price for this phone and if you flash B12 then its a good value for money.

[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
No, the netcom is for china only. You can keep the b04 for now and when sure, root, twrp and install the updated chinese rom without custom recovery and flash the modem.zip file

Hello there,

I just registered to say thanks to all members who contributed to this great thread:highfive:.

Yesterday I sat down and read through all pages. After that I rooted my ZTE Axon Mini B2016, flashed TWRP and the B09M image.

For now everything works just fine:good:

After that I tried using More Local 2 to add another language. The app is listed in SU for having root access but still nothing happens when changing to any other language. Has someone successfully added another language?

---------- Post added at 11:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

Ok, this was faster than even writing the question:D

I used the instructions from here:

Oh, no outside links for me...:(

[ZTE Axon Pro] Yannis100:
Basically all versions for B2015 (China) and B2016 (international) are compatible for both devices, just care to remove modem and recovery files in the update archive.

The version uploaded on 11.11.2016 from the mentioned link is B09, looks like they removed B12

Extracted from build.prop of the zip :

ro.build.display.id=ZTE B2015V1.0.0B09_M

ro.build.version.incremental=eng.zte.20160808.133150

ro.build.date=Mon Aug 8 13:34:59 CST 2016

Yes I agree, downloaded from http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/stable-2016-09-01supersu-v2-78-release-t3452703, choose TWRP / FlashFire installable ZIP.

Works like a charm

The menus are translated, downloaded apps are too

tutorial

Someone could put a tutorial with the steps to upgrade to android 6.0 in the international version? Thank you
[ZTE Axon Pro] Yannis100:
Unfortunately there is no international 6.0 marshmallow version, only chinese one partially translated to english which could be tricked with morelocale2.

Last international one is B04. You can install B12/B9 marshmallow version for B2015 but be sure to remove/replace modem and recovery files in the zip before flashing it with TWRP.

I will edit this post with a full recap of everything we can do with the phone at the moment
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Hi, just to be clear, the ROM is fully (not partially) translated to English

You simply cannot find a single Chinese character in my phone after I have entirely removed every single bloat from the system.
[ZTE Axon Pro] danisuaves:
Could be put in Spanish ?? Could any cook prepare the Chinese rom with the international modem ??
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
I have done that already. I can upload the zip either tomorrow (or maybe tonight).

I have modified the original rom a bit, and removed nearly every single zte crap, modded settings app, build prop to add "users", deleted a load of system apps (but kept the important or good ones).

I have also included the modem and the files inside the aboot6 zip into the rom

I also replaced both the splash.bin (logo) and the boot animation from the international b03/04 rom.

Basically all you have to do is to flash the aboot5, reboot recovery, flash the ROM and reboot.

The reason why I have not uploaded it yet is because I was trying to include the Google package in it too, but unfortunately Google framework and play services refuse to work well so I gave up for now.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] nospherwtf:
I think I could. Shutdown your phone. Plug power cord and you'll see ;)
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Lol, i'll have to check that!

EDIT: sorry, I just tested that, what is shown is the splash bin, which I got from the international ROM, so I sorry to say but you were "incorrect" (I don't like using the word "wrong"!!!)
[ZTE Axon Pro] Bormental:
When phone turned off and charging the battery image and percentage must be taken from ramdisk of boot.img. And this file is Chinese. I didn't notice while their are Chinese characters but they may be.
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Hi all,

As I promised, here is the B09 ROM modded to work on the B2016 phone ONLY!!!!

If you are brave to try, please feel free. I have wipe everything and flashed this ROM and it works.

I have also wiped system and cache only, flashed it and restored data and it worked too.

Once again, the reason I have not done that in the B12 ROM (I think everyone is now receiving the 108.28Mb update notification) is because I really use xposed and so far it bootloops the B12 for some reason.

Here is the link for the folder where all the needed files are, including the change log and instructions. [if you try just now, you may not find the ROM as it is still being uploaded]

https://mega.nz/#F!PVFHHRha!KqcSPtdpDHdYkgUti59c7A
