Should be pretty easy in theory,

Download the zip, boot into recovery (power button + volume up) flash zip, done. (haven't tested it yet, I hope to)

Also, I don't know if you people know, but this is a pretty much Canada exclusive device, which is why there is so little interest in it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonb42:
I just got mine as a quick replacement for a broken Sony tablet. It's a nice device, and the menus look promising with shortcuts to recovery and fastboot. I'm already rooted (KingRoot to get SuperSU on, then delete KR), I have exposed running for the basic ad-blocking add-ons, but I'm hesitant before experimenting with further customization because I'm not sure I'd be able to resuscitate it if it bootloops. I can't for the life of me find a firmware file to ease my mind, or anything relevant on this model really... Do you guys have a firmware file, or experience with resetting the device/using the recovery/fastboot/getting it out of a bootloop/customizing with GravityBox and others?? Thanks in advance!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PureXTC:
I've got one of these as well but bought it second hand. Not a bad device for what it is but I ended up with a seriously crippled device as the previous owner debloated it using KingRoot and it basically destroyed the ROM itself (no stock ZTE apps, no Google, etc.).

I've gotten it back to a simple tablet with Google Play Store functionality but have lost much of everything else. KingRoot is long gone in favour of SuperSU and Xposed is there now as well with GravityBox.

I can only assume you used FlashFire to get as far as you have.

I've been playing around trying to get TWRP going since the previous owner trashed the Primary Recovery. It's good there's a Secondary Recovery but I'm not able to duplicate it back to the Primary right now.

If you have indeed used FlashFire did you make a full backup using the Fastboot option? I'm unable to do so as I believe my tablet is missing functionality. My PC doesn't talk to my K85 at all.

If you have the option and are able to could you possible upload your FlashFire image somewhere (ie. Mega) so others my have a viable option to restore?

Or, in my case, make a backup of your Primary Recovery at the very least so I can try getting back on track.

I've been all over the Internet looking for a flashable recovery ROM for the K85 but have come up empty. ZTE does not provide images and, as we all know, the carriers are clueless. This device just isn't popular enough to get developers involved in spending time on it.

Thanks!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PureXTC:
I don't think there is enough people out there with this device that know how to make a backup of the ROM.

ZTE has been no help and there are NO ROMs anywhere that I can find.

I was working on getting TWRP going and in the process soft-bricked my unit.

I had a backup of all my partitions and a full bit-by-bit as well. Unfortunately my server had a catastrophic failure and I lost most of those backups. I'm in need of the kernel/boot so I can get back up and running.

I've since moved on to a different device but am hopeful someone can pull the boot.img from their ROM to share.

Best of luck to you and perhaps you'll get some help!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D97:
I know that this thread has been dead for a while but I stumbled upon something interesting for this tablet that might be of value to somebody sometime. In the process of removing Kingroot from my device and replacing it with SuperSU, I got stuck in some sort of soft brick. (It just sat at whatever text appears after the photos in the boot animation).

It turns out that there is a TWRP that will boot (do not install it) on this device available at the twrp.me website. I just searched ZTE in the device box and got twrp-3.1.1-1-nx512j.img

You can't actually use the touch interface - it sits at a blank screen. Hence the do not flash / install.

If you have an unlocked bootloader (as far as I can tell, all you need to do is go into fastboot and type fastboot oem unlock) you can boot this version of TWRP with fastboot boot /path/to/twrp-3.1.1-1-nx512j.img and then you have a full "root" adb shell to play with.

This let me get into the thing that I did to brick my device and fix it. Then I realized that I could use the built in adb twrp commands to do a full back up via the twrp adb commands. There is an article somewhere called "TWRP's new ADB Interface" that outlines some of the commands with the most useful one being:

adb shell twrp backup SDBOM

Volia. A TWRP backup that you can restore via a similar command through TWRP's adb interface.

D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PureXTC:
This is a welcome post! What a great find.

I wish I had tried your way before completely bricking my device (I was trying multiple ways of compiling TWRP and ended up killing it and in the process wiping all partitions).

Are you able to share your backup (specifically the bootloader first off) so I could resurrect my dead device?

So far you're my only hope as this device hasn't gained enough traction to be relevant and ZTE won't release an actual ROM.

Cheers.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D97:
Hey ... I'm glad that there is some utility in this post. A little while after, I realized that you could also use this process to root the device without mucking around with kingroot. Just boot the touchless-TWRP, install supersu via adb twrp and away you go.

As for sharing the backup - I can't really do this for a couple of reasons but I bet there is somebody else on the thread who can. Reason One: I seriously mangled my boot process with my attempt to replace kingroot with supersu and I don't actually trust it to survive a factory reset. (The device kept cycling through a process of asking me for my google credentials and I can't remember what I actually did to break it out of that loop - hence my distrust and decision not to reset it). Reason Two - I backed it up after having set the device up and it has my info embedded in it. If I ever get the courage to try to factory reset it, it'd be a different situation.

Having said this, I'm reasonably certain that there is somebody monitoring the thread who has a stable boot. (Honestly, I'd like a more reliable image than the one that I have and might go for a complete reflash then).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akash227:
Hi there,

I'm currently trying to get into making ROMS and have a full stock ZTE grand x view laying around. I'm happy to see you guys even rooted it and am currently downloading king root so I can do the same. I can share the backup with you but I'm a noob when it comes to ROM development. I'm pretty good other than that with command lines.

If you can walk me through or link me to a guide that I can use to make a backup of the rom and boot loader so I can share it with you ??

Edit: I used the official TWRP app to back up my boot and recovery as .img would that help??

Also sorry for the noob question but is there anyway of making a clone of my stock ROM or installing TWRP so I can??

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PureXTC:
Your .img would definitely help. I'm sure I can make use of them.

There is a method I used to do a bit-by-bit backup of all the partitions on the device. I'll have to dig it up to see if it's still on my server (had a large catastrophic fail so lost many files). In saying that the resulting file is close to the full size of all the data on the tablet. I believe it was just shy of 11GB.

[MENTION=6087517]D97[/MENTION] was on the same path as I was on with TWRP. Although you can't see/touch TWRP you are able to use ADB commands (I didn't think to try, whoops!). Touch base with [MENTION=6087517]D97[/MENTION] and I'm sure you'll get the help needed and the commands used.

In the meantime, I'd appreciate what you've managed to save. I've given up thus far on my ZTE but hate just having a dead device lying around.

EDIT: You could also use [root] Flashfire from the Play Store if you're already rooted. This "theoretically" should be able to backup your partitions.

Cheers!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akash227:
Hey there,

Can you turn on the device by holding the power and volume down? It puts it in fastboot where you can go ahead and flash the recovery and boot images I have if you want? I've been trying to flash similar spec devices TWRP but no luck and everytime my recovery gets corrupted I flash the recovery image I have and it restores it fine so it should fix yours in theory !

Let me know if you want it!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PureXTC:
I've managed to get a form of fastboot on the tablet that allows me to issue FASTBOOT commands. I've been toying with it for a while but haven't quite been able to get anywhere since I am missing the stock images. I've tried practically every ROM for ZTE devices as well as many others that share the same specs and nothing works (seeing as nothing out there really has a compatible kernel). There are a few boot.img and recovery.img that work but it will not boot any rom I have tried (managed to get audio but no video). I'm hoping that the original boot.img will have the minimum of what I need to get going again.

If you could kindly share yours I'd love to try it out and see if I can get some sort of life back into this tablet.

Thanks!

Well, I'll be darned! My gratitude goes out to you sir.

Unfortunately, I'm not on any kind of usable ROM at the moment since practically everything I have has gotten corrupted. The boot.img you provided was the missing key to my hopeless situation and I can't thank you enough just for that one file.

There is so much more that my tablet is missing (if you read any of my previous posts you'd see that the previous owner of this tablet had his way with it and crippled it to begin with) so I've never had the stock ROM.

Looking forward to whether you are able to provide the SYSTEM.IMG for these View Tablets.

Your help thus far has been commendable.

Many thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akash227:
NO worries, I'd be willing to give you the system image if you can walk me through how to back it up. I don't know how since theres no custom recovery on this. I tried the flashfire tool but since it requires SuperSU root and doesn't support king root it won't launch and I don't know how to install superSU without twrp I can't launch that app
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PureXTC:
I used a method to remove KingRoot (as that it what the previous owner used) and I had SuperSU installed. There was an app called SuperSUME that was able to do this but I believe I did it manually. I really don't remember as this was over half a year ago.

I'll have a look to see what I can find and we'll get this all set up ... for the both of us!

However, it's getting closer to that time of the year ... Halloween ... and my kiddies are raring to go. I'll have to hold out until later this evening or potentially tomorrow.

Again, thank you.

EDIT: This thread may be of help:

https://xdaforums.com/a310/general/how-to-remove-replace-kingroot-kinguser-t3308989

It should work without a hitch as the commands look very similar to what I used to do it manually.

EDIT 2: This is the Windows tool I used to back up every single partition on the tablet:

http://hddguru.com/software/HDD-Raw-Copy-Tool/

This should allow you to "theoretically" destroy your tablet with your testing and recover it back bit-by-bit.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D97:
Just jumping slightly off topic (bootanimation)

Okay - I am going to jump a little off topic here but, since this is probably the most active thread on the ZTE Grand View, I think it makes sense to add it here.

(Needless to say, I take no responsibility of something goes wrong here - this is just what I was able to work through last night)

I have the Bell edition of this device and I really wanted to change the boot animation and music that goes along with it. The boot animation / sound isn't stored in the usual spot / format in /system/media. The bootup sound is called "bootup.wav" and it's stored in /system/media/audio/ui

I just used an audio program to generate 10 seconds of silence, saved that as bootup.wav, renamed the original bootup.wav to bootup.wav.bk and dropped my new file into the /system/media/audio/ui folder. I am not too sure how important the permissions are but I duplicated the original permissions on my bootup.wav file (I believe they are -rw-r--r--). That quieted the music.

The photographs are - as far as I can tell - straight .jpg files that have a .nubia extension. If you go to /system/media/theme/bootup you will find ten sequentially numbered files named picture_1.nubia, picture_2.nubia, etc. (and, for whatever reason, a corresponding .txt file - no need to touch the .txt file)

I grabbed 10 pictures that I wanted to use, renamed them according to the pattern (I didn't do any sort of file conversion, the files I used were all jpgs). I then went into the folder, renamed each original picture_1.nubia to picture_1.nubia.bk and then dropped my new picture_1.nubia files into the /system/media/theme/bootup folder. Again, not knowing how important the permissions are, I set them to the same as the original file (-rw-r--r--)

I am happy with my boot images and my "soundless" boot.

Also - I think that it should be possible to use the adb twrp commands to pull the system file. I don't have time to check this out tonight (Halloween) but, if you boot the "non-visible" twrp image that I wrote about a few posts back, would you be able to type

adb shell twrp backup SDBM

to produce a non-compressed backup? Would you be able to find the system file there? Like I said, I'm not sure if this would work and I don't have time to experiment tonight.

That's neat how did you even access the /system folder??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D97:
I went at the boot image / sound in a couple of ways but, if you don't have root access, you won't be able to see the folder / make any changes.

You also need to make the system folder "read / write" through a root adb shell (adb shell --> su )

# mount -o rw,remount,rw /system

I used Solid Explorer (after giving it root access) to change the various permissions and used a root adb shell (like above) to do all of my file movements but it could conceivably be done through a file manager gui if that's how you want to move the files.

D.
