Also, I'm a bit confused with the difference between B08 and B09.

You seem to be using the B09. is it correct? this for the Non-force touch? when I found the original link the page was all in Chinese. is this correct?

If the above is true, then I assume the B08 (link posted by Bormental) is for the force-touch phones? is there any big difference between B08 and B09?

Thanks
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
I have downloaded the B08, nandroid backed up everything and I'm about to flash it, but I really want to have the same experience as Crisvendetta, so if the B08 is still untested I won't do it. Please advice.

Thanks
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
The B08 is the force touch one. I have tested, it is identical. Tell us if fingerprint works for you on this rom
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
You could flash it but that brings a bootloop.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Piraze91:
If i understand, i can install every B2015 roms in my B2016 Axon Mini
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Which supers version did you try? 2.46? I have downloaded the 2.78 (it seems to be the latest but I'm not 100% sure).....I may try it.

BTW no solution for booting into recovery after a bootloop if adb doesn't work isn't it?

Thanks
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
You must download the zip one which can be installed on twrp. The solution on bootloop is simple, just enter twrp, wipe system ,cache, dalvik cache, then via adb install the aboot_5.1.1.zip and the reinstall your B08 rom
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Thanks but that isn't what I meant to ask.

What I mean is:

Phone goes into bootloop;

If adb doesn't work then the phone stays in bootloop forever.

If I press and hold the power for 10secs then the phone reboots, in bootloop again.

So to get into recovery I had to wait for many hours until the battery runs out.

I'm trying to find a way to go to recovery after pressing power for 10 secs

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
Oh, yes that is simple too hehe.

Hold volume + and power , now the trick is to hold it like that , the phone will reboot the first time 10 seconds then it will reboot qgain 10 seconds, the third time it reboots only for 5 seconds, quickly release the buttons this time when the screen turns off, now your phone is shut down :)

You can enter recovery as usual

Sorry for this maybe stupid question. I downloaded this version and tried to Update my B2016 via the phones Update program, but the Build numbers do not match. Is there any way to install this version via normal Update?
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
It is the chinese version that's why networks don't work, you have to first delete modem and recovery on the file and then flash it.

ZTE stock-browser = Ume browser ?

I have an update notification about this app - but I never installed (also not in app-list / Playstore options just "update" and "open" - no deinstallation)

It´s probably system and recommended to update, but I better ask before updating malware ;)

I´m on stock Android B04 (model B2016)

[ any new official versions from zte for download? ]
[ZTE Axon Pro] ImSoBored:
Does anyone have the link to the Android M ROM with a decent server? I tried downloading from ZTE but it's terribly slow (~130KB/s).
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
Just deactivate it, download chrome
[ZTE Axon Pro] Wurstwa55er:
[MENTION=7192840]Crisvendetta[/MENTION] thanks, I have installed chrome since I bought the device (3/4 year)

and chinese B2015 really has an official MM-update? :mad:
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
Yes, the update on ztedevice.com for the chinese model is B09_M
[ZTE Axon Pro] Bormental:
Or just flash this zip :cool:
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
Lol, is that a working SU for 6.0.1 ?
[ZTE Axon Pro] Bormental:
No. It's unroot script.
[ZTE Axon Pro] ginandtonic123:
I have installed Bormental's B08, so far everything working well, much faster than original phone software.

Not bothered about fingerprint as I do not use it.

Was thinking of trying B09-M, but how does one remove the modem script?

edit: Ok found it on page 40, thanks again Bormental ....:good:

Update: failed to install B09-M (TWRP goes blank (black screen) after about 15 seconds during flash, with a couple of red text warning lines at the very beginning of the flash) ..., so I went back to B08-M ...
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
I tried B08. It works and it is better. Not many bloatware and most of them can either be uninstalled or disabled anyway.

However I have gone back to my tweaked B03 til root and fingerprint is sorted.

I also tried unzipping the B09 and replacing some system apps by the ones on b03. It obviously didn't works but it was fun to try. It flashed but at the end it said it failed with some texts in red in twrp. I rebooted anyway but the phone went back to recovery.

I finally then restored my nandroid backup perfectly.

Thanks for all the efforts. I feel we are nearly there now.

From Crisvendetta post earlier in the thread (page 42)

I had some trouble logging into my Google Play Store account, but all working now.

Thank you for the B08 ROM, my Axon mini feels like a totally different (new) phone !! I really like the new Lockscreen live wallpaper with automatic photo download and changer.

Also, ROM B08 M is updated to the latest Android Security Patch level (August 1, 2016).

Original phone ROM (B04) was disgusting, really slow and laggy. Some widgets still don't work, but overall B08 ROM is much much better.

[ZTE Axon Pro] vsyakii:
Can I flash it with the default recovery? Because how can I install custom twrp, if I don't have root, right? (On Android 6)

If so, can you tell me how should I use the Chinese recovery? Thanks!
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
as far as I understand, you have to have 5.5.1 first (stock one), root it, install twrp via adb.

after that, no matter what rom you try, twrp will always be there and you are a free person!

However, have you tried to push the twrp recovery via adb without root? if the bootloader is not locked (I don't thing it is) it may work. Maybe I'm totally wrong and don't even understand the android requirements. just try.

Cheers
[ZTE Axon Pro] Bormental:
It would be too simple ;)

But unfortunately without root (no matter if bootloader is locked or not) it doesn't work.

And there is no way to install custom recovery in android 6.

Btw, our bootloader is locked.
[ZTE Axon Pro] vsyakii:
So there's no way for me to go back to lollipop? (From b09_M to b04 international. My phone is B2015)

Can't bare Android without root...
[ZTE Axon Pro] Bormental:
Have you tried to flash official update.zip with lollipop?
[ZTE Axon Pro] vsyakii:
With the default Chinese recovery? No.

How do I do that? Is there a way to change its language?
[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
Well I work with a Chinese guy...... If you take a picture of the recovery page and post to me maybe, page by page I could ask him to tell me what button to press��
[ZTE Axon Pro] vsyakii:
Thanks a lot! But I already flashed it, used pictures from google for help :D

But now my sim card won't have any service. According to what I've read here, you guys say it's modem's fault. Does that mean I now have to stick with the Chinese lollipop cause I got B2015? No international b04 for my device? Or is there a way to flash another modern now that I can have root and custom twrp?
[ZTE Axon Pro] ImSoBored:
Does someone know ZTE Axon Mini codename and if someone has created a device tree for it?
[ZTE Axon Pro] Bormental:
Read model number on the back cover. If it is b2016 then redownload and reflash the latest international stock ROM for b2016 (b04, I suppose). It already contains modem IMG. Check sim card settings after flash and reboot.

If still no service then I'll give you my modem IMG for twrp.

I'm still on Bormental's B08-M ROM, can confirm that system Dolby does not work with headphones, the Dolby equalizer settings have no effect.

Dolby and equalizer do work over Bluetooth (with JBL Bluetooth speaker).

Volume is good, much louder than on original B04 ROM, sound quality seems to have improved also.
[ZTE Axon Pro] ImSoBored:
Sure? I've searched for it in Google and it seems that's the SoC Snapdragon 615. I guess it's because that's the ZTE Nubia Z9 Mini SoC? Our device has a Snapdragon 616 in it, so I don't think that could be its device name, though I may (very possibly) be wrong.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
I am on B09 and Dolby sound works flawlessly. I think there is a B09_M version out there if you got the premium version of the phone that does the proper force touch
[ZTE Axon Pro] EdgeTheraited:
is it offical b09 for the premium version or it is the one that Bormental made?

Edit: i have the premuim version so that why im asking is if it is please post the link of the Rom
[ZTE Axon Pro] Bormental:
All benchmarks recognize our SoC as MSM8939 (snap 615), the same as in Nubia Z9 Mini.

And the max frequency is 1500MHz.

However i cannot find any difference between 615 and 616. Let's see:

I have not used anything other than a plastic shell which comes with the phone. My screen is also unprotected yet. I am not using this phone as my regular phone because there is a notification issue on B04 stock ROM. When this issue is resolved then I will use it as regular phone and I will think about protecting it.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Piraze91:
I can't right now cause i'm on B04 (I need network and it wasn't working). But i just configured my fingerprint like on B04. If someone was able to make a flashable .zip with the European Modem it would be great. J$ust the modem.
[ZTE Axon Pro] simrim1:
I think it is not difficult. Can you still boot into custom recovery while on M ROM?
[ZTE Axon Pro] Piraze91:
Yes of course i can, but the it's not really the same recovery and it's in chinese.
[ZTE Axon Pro] simrim1:
Well I doubt it is a custom recovery. I think it is a stock recovery. Did you flash the zip as you downloaded it?
[ZTE Axon Pro] Piraze91:
Yes i flashed the "update.zip " file. It include the chinese recovery.
[ZTE Axon Pro] simrim1:
Your posts are confusing. Which ROM is running on your phone. B04 or M(B08, B09). If you are running B04 then it is not M(Marshmallow) ROM. That is L(Lollipop) ROM.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Piraze91:
Right know i'm running B04. But i tried B08_M and B09_M one or two weeks ago. Fingerprint scanner was working, and the phone was faster than ever. But I had just one problem, the more important, the network. I was not able to call or text anymore. So I returned to B04 And wait.
[ZTE Axon Pro] simrim1:
Right. Now I got it. If you please help me in going through the steps for flashing B09 while you are running B04 and then flashing back B04 while you are running B09. I think I will try to get network working on B09. I just want to be sure that going back to B04 will not be an issue. Thx

Fingerprint and eye recognition must work when updating ROM in stock recovery. Stock recovery can flash only unmodified stock ROMs. So you cannot delete or replace modem in ROM.

In this case in B2016 you'll get 'no service'. Nowdays there is no known method to get working both fingerprint and modem.

But I have some ideas about it. I'll try on this week later.

Unfortunately modem image contains something like fingerprint scanner's driver.

So we don't have working fingerprint scanner on B2016 when replacing or deleting modem image from B2015 ROM.

We need to wait for official update from ZTE.

But there also are good news.

We have working ROOT in 6.0.1 :victory:

Flash it in TWRP and don't forget about backup!

SuperSU was taken from here.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
Thanks for the root :)

what If we replace the modem files from the b2015 with the one on the b2016, will it work?

Replacing the fingerprint apk and modem files
[ZTE Axon Pro] Bormental:
No.

Our apk's are from different android version. And 5.1.1 and 6.0.1 have different fingerprint's native libraries and binaries.

Modem files wouldn't help.

So it is impossible to fix until we get MM for B2016.
[ZTE Axon Pro] Crisvendetta:
So I replaced the fingerprint apk and priv app with the one on 5.1.1 b2016 and the fingerprint app opens without any error but when trying to save my fingerprint it wouldnt recognise I was touching the sensor, I think we are close to solving it

Hi axon mini brothers! :]

Just bought b2015 1 week ago because it was just for 176eur on ebay.com shipping free to europe from hong kong, paid no taxes/fees at customs as they packaged as RMA 21$ value, lucky me :- )

Installed b09_M w/o TWRP, so I fash back to b04 +rooted & installed TWRP and flashed b09_Mover again, but stock china recovery installed aswell, no TWRP now :( !! WHAT A FACEPALM... :- D

1. So to fix that I have to re-do all over and delete recovery folder from b09_M update.zip folder before flashing?

2. Does this model actually has offline FM radio chip built-in? Is it just disabled or just need to flash FM radio app?

3. Got issue with microSD card as phone doesn't let me mount it neither shows in storage, can't access via bootloader neither after processing full wipe. Should I format it with PC as FAT or NTFS not sure...?

4. Still no way to flash TWRP directly to 6.0.1 w/o going back to 5.1.1?

Is B11_M newer version of B09_M?

I wonder how does B11_M perform on B2015?

Does it have gapps pre-installed?

Can you compare with B09_M? Thnx.

[ZTE Axon Pro] demenicis:
-Firstly you flash stock lollipop, root, and install twrp.

-Secondly, download the b09, unzip, remove modem (if your phone is b2015) and recovery files.

-Flash B08 or B09 (without the recovery otherwise you will end up with Chinese one)
