I do not know whether or not this helps you in any way, since the original post has been made quite some time ago, but it may be worth a try...

This phone was sold in a few countries, and one of them I know about was Thailand. If you look up the corresponding official ZTE support page, you get this:

http://www.ztedevice.com/support/detail?id=CB70AA9C4A8C4F87AB43C34D3608D11E

The direct link to the download is:

(This phone was also sold in Russia, but the official product page has been removed, and I see nothing on their support page about that.)

They might not be full ROMs, but should they really help, it would be recommended to directly host them somewhere else too, in case they are removed.

ZTE ROMs are a hard task to hunt down, if this does not help I strongly recommend to dig deeper down into their support page...
[Blade General] ashamsu:
Dear Member,

i too faced problem in LYF LS-5021 looks same ZTE S7-T920. i found incomplete rom from internet, which failed in flash & came to dead. Later i found update.zip for LYF in that i found that is same as S7.

I edited rawprogram.xml to file given to download & flashed. After flash phone came alive & updated with update.zip.

Now phone came to normal.

May be it will help for u.... attached updater script of Lyf LS-5021.
[Blade General] deadmind:
Inside the zip's from the ZTE -homepage u gonna find the update.zip file .... which perfectly works for the S7.

So ... is the LYF LS-5021 exactly the same phone as the S7 ... any differences?

New ROMs available?
[Blade General] kappwj:
I would also like to know if there are any updates available for the Blade S7 (other than Lolipop 5.1). I managed to download the update.zip from the ztedevice . com website and followed the instruction and was able to update using the Blade S7 ROM but only Lolipop 5.1 is available. Can anyone confirm if LYF LS-5021 ROM can be used on the S7 and what ROM's are available?
[Blade General] ЯazoR:
The real question is if there is anything official above 5.1 available for the Lyf. Needrom seems to host official 6.0, but it would be nice to confirm that with Lyf support. IDK if they would answer, but you might as well should try your luck with the ZTE ROM compatibility (tough they most likely will not take any responsibility and not advise you to try flashing their ROM). Their support page is here:

https://www.mylyf.com/self-help.html

Also Lyf LS-5021 may be the Lyf Earth?
[Blade General] kappwj:
It is the Lyf Earth 2 (or second gen earth). Just checked Needrom and cannot find any rom for Blade S7 :( . I will check Needrom for official Lyf 6.0. But thanks for the feedback.

ZTE blade S7 T920

I also have a ZTE blade S7 and I know the suffer of finding this phone's firmware... But I am still a Standard android customizer so yeah after searching the web... No firmware found for this phone... So here's what I've done to make a backup..

I rooted my phone using kingoroot via PC

-steps-

-download the kingoroot application on pc

-install the application on pc.

#on the phone#

- battery charged to 100% because of fear the process will fail because of the battery

-enabled unknown sources in

*settings/security/unknown sources*

-enabled developer options

*settings/about phone/Build number(just keep spamming the build number till it says developer mode enabled)

- go back to settings and enable usb debuging

*settings/developer options/usb debuging(tick the box)

-then connect phone to pc then a small box will show up on the phone

tick allow this pc bla~ bla~ and

press ok or accept

#on the pc#

-open kingoroot application

-wait for the application to load

-then press root device

-if the phone shows something that needs to install ,just press install

-Then the phone will automatically change to a blue screen with percentage numbers on screen.

Wait for 10-20 min

-Then on the phone will show up root success with a giant blue tick

-uninstall all the cleaner or battery saver that is installed by kingoroot...

-then reboot phone...

Now find TWRP recovery from xda somewhere for the zte blade s7

The thread

https://www.google.com/amp/s/xdaforums.com/zte-blade/general/zte-s7-blade-recovery-cm-t3567806/amp/

Direct download link

https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/0B4Ya5mT9NhjqUUZyVTFDT18xQlU

-Download the above file on the phone

- after the download, there will be a file called recovery.img

- open flashify and slide to backup/restore

-backup the current recovery

-after backup slide back to Flash and pick Recovery Image

-pick choose a file and find the recovery.img that we downloaded earlier

And flash

-After flashing is done press flash more and it will leave you on the flash menu...

-press the three dot on the top right or left side (mine is right side)

-choose reboot recovery...

And now twrp will show up...

On first boot to twrp it will ask for allowing to modify the system...

Just swipe the blue circle

And now choose backup

For me, I check all the box to backup everything but the nesesary one is just boot and system...

And wallaahh backup done...

For my recommendation ,backup the file to a memory card and put it in a safe place just for safety.. Because you wont know maybe you'll accidentally deleted the file while formatting...

And that's it... Well done...

Anyone can help?

I need custom rom for zte blade s7
[Blade General] terawyvenx:
Is there any flashable msm8939.mbn/hex and msimage_8939.mbn for this phone? or any other unbrick method for ZTE Blade S7? I'm searching the net inside out and cant find a thing. Somebody please point in the right direction

I would really appreciate it to the max
[Blade General] loxionlux:
We hit a dead end with this phone
[Blade General] Jo_bell:
I have a way but u need brains to do the following...

-To flash a custom recovery to the phone via sp flash tool or adb

The reason is because I have a backup rom of my zte t920 but it needs a custom recovery to reflash
[Blade General] terawyvenx:
Anything is doable at this point. So tell me how am I going to flash a custom recovery? I do have the SP flash tool, so what else do I need?

Can you hook me up with your backup rom? I would really appreciate it :D
[Blade General] Jo_bell:
Ok I will upload my backup rom to google drive and link will be sent on completion :D

I dont think sp flash tool can help on this... Becuase it needs the actual firmware scatter loading file... Which in this case... I dont have... :crying: still finding a way to create the scatter file myself.. No luck..

So.. Adb should be the hero here... But only if u hv usb debuging enabled before

Using a pc or laptop install adb to your pc/laptop from anywhere in xda...

The fastest and easiest is on this thread

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

And download the twrp recovery image. From this thread

#the recovey is named recovery.img#

https://xdaforums.com/android/general/tutorial-how-to-install-twrp-zte-blade-t2953998

*1* Download and install the adb on ur pc and put the custom recovery in any folder #inside an empty folder with the recovery is the best choice#

*2* After installing the adb.. Go inside the folder that contains the recovery.img...

*3* #without highlighting any file# put ur mouse pointer at any empty space in the folder , HOLD SHIFT AND RIGHT CLICK ON YOUR MOUSE. And there will be an extra option that says Open Command Prompt here or Open Power Shell here

*4* Try to boot up ur device as far as it can go in this case the zte logo and and on the pc inside the command prompt from *3* and type in adb devices and press enter.. If it shows a reading. Example, F2xhk7 device ur in luck... Go to *5*

.. But if it shows red notes.. . Try changing usb ports and usb cable #in my case before... The computer usb 3.0 port does not read my device.. *the usb port coloured blue*.. so I use other ports and it worked# :fingers-crossed:

If it still does not connect.. Then ur out of luck... The only way is through sp flash tool... Try asking one of the developers to help...

*5* congratulations if u made it here.. :laugh: now back on business...

-Type in adb reboot fastboot and the device will restart to fastboot

-Now type in fastboot flash recovery recovery.img note *the recovery.img must be the duplicate as the name of the recovery* * I repeat the command is. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img the word recovery is meant to be there *

- after the flash ,reboot the device into recovery by typing.

fastboot reboot recovery or either combimation of power and volume up button

If the recovery shows twrp.. Ur in luck then.. :laugh:
[Blade General] terawyvenx:
Jo_bell, you sir, are the man!:good: :D....i will await your Google drive link. Would generating a scatter file require an actual working ZTE blade S7 to do? Or cant it be generated using a tool of some sort?

Full firmware

Does someone have a full flashable firmware for are blade s7 t920
[Blade General] Alexandersss:
Hi, unfortunately I find myself with this smartphone in softbrick and I can not find a way to resurrect it. There is no flaschable stock firmware and no flash software. How can I resurrect it from the bootloop? It does not go into recovery. is it possible to flash it with a different firmware from the s7 blade?

I read here that someone managed to flash a firmware based on "Lyf Earth 2 LS 5021" (apparently it looks like the same model).

You have to edit something in the rawprogram0.xml, but exactly what?

If I do not want a solution, I'll have to throw it away. It's absurd to have no support for flashing a non-recovery ROM.

I also tried with ADB but tells me that the device is unauthorized.

Is possible flash with India After Sales Tool o QLIF?

### Shield app optimization tutorial

Shield app optimization = BS!

Just tested the Shield **app optimization** with the benchmark 3Dmark and I can tell you no matter the setting the performance is bad. Universally bad!!

### My advice:

forget about the Shield **app optimization**. Turn it off. Never look back.

Instead, manage the apps/tablet performance with the **Processor Mode** under Shield Power Control.

For gaming **Optimized** or **Max** are great. For anything else My **Power Mode** 2 CPU cores are just fine; it safes some battery power.

How to safe more battery: deactivate **Adaptive brightness** under Display. Because no matter the ambient lighting, it's always too bright. Hence, better set it manually.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @rj*n:
You're on point mate.. I just tried testing my K1 with the setting off and it seems to have worked beautifully. Before it'd stutter in apps and in between, now after trying this for more than a few hours I've had almost no stutters or lag AFAIK.

You should be on top. Kudos for the tip mate ?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niii4:
[MENTION=5512052]RJ*[/MENTION]n, thank you. :)

You know, I couldn't find any explanation of what the difference between **Optimized** and **Max** are, and I assumed **app optimization** is the very same thing just apps specific, so began benchmark testing it all. To my surprise **app optimization** does no good but just slows everything down; no matter the settings! I was sure not everybody knowns about that. And instead just complains about bad performance or quick battery drain.

Conclusion: the difference between **Optimized** and **Max** are marginal. **Max** may give you a few more fps whereas **Optimized** scores a tiny bit higher in the overall performance.

By the by, I played Asphalt 8 with only 2 cores and it still runs absolutely smooth.

I agree, this should be a sticky.
[Sprint LG G3] johamsandwich:
I'm trying to downgrade from Marshmallow (XOSP) to KitKat (BarRin).

After wiping and installing BarRin, the phone gets stuck on the LG Logo.

I figure it's because of how my phone is partitioned - I recall that KitKat has different partitions than Lollipop/Marshmallow, but I can't remember how to re-flash the partitions so that it can accommodate for KitKat.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rile1564:
Yes you can move over to the T-Mobile network. However you cannot receive the T-Mobile updates since you do not have an actual T-Mobile phone. You'll have to put in an AT&T SIM card and update on the AT&T network for your phone.

Hi guys, seeking anyone with success permarooting or custom recovery for J320Y variant of the J3. I tried the J320P variant fixes as well as all the other supposed "successes" and come up dry. No custom recoveries will install properly and root is temporary, won't even allow Link2SD because the system area is locked up. I already OEM unlocked and temp rooted then tried everything else I could come up with. It's basically a 2015 J5 placed in a different model name but none of the J5 works I've tried were able to cross over either. Any suggestions or developer help is appreciated, as even though the specs are pretty respectable, the internal space is disgustingly overbloated and need Link2SD to make it workable.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redhz11:
Hello all! Some time ago my nexus 5 started to have some issues with the microphone and a couple of days after it stopped working. I searched how people generally fix it because I have no warranty and I didn't want to spend much money giving someone to fix it or even get another phone. So what I did was I open the motherboard plastic protection and put a tape (a bit thick) right below the camera (above the battery) to make some pressure on the mic connection. I closed it, closed the phone, turned it on and the mic was working again. So far so good.

Then I noticed that out of nowhere the screen went black and if I pressed the power button it would give only black light. After some research again I noticed that it wasn't the LCD problem because if I rebooted the phone (power button + volume down) it would work perfectly, but after some time it'd go black again. Sometimes it even makes weird colors, grey orange and some lines (like broken screen) and then goes full black.

I already factory reseted the phone but the poblem still persists. I wonder if it has something to do with the battery (maybe should get a new one) or with some hardware connections. What makes me think that isn't a hardware problem is because it always works during some time when I reboot it. But ofc im not 100% sure because it looks like this happened a little while after the mic fix.

I saw someone talking about memory cache wipe could fix this. I did try this recently but I don't think this could be the problem and this is why: Some moments ago I tried to reboot it to make the screen work again but this time the reboot didn't work. It started to give those weird colors and lines. So I connected it to the charger, waited a bit, tried to reboot again and it worked. The screen is now temporarely on and working what makes me think even more that it could be battery's fault.

I hope I explained everything well if you have any doubt please do ask. I'm just trying to know exactly what the problem is so I don't waste time and money fixing actually non problematic parts.

Thank you.

PS: Before I got the phone like 2 months ago, it was used for almost a year by a family member.

[LeEco Le Max 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] NexusPenguin:
Hi xterminater07,

As for any other ROM, you have to install a custom recovery as a first thing. There are usually 2 custom recoveries : TWRP and CWM. The x820 only has TWRP (as far as I know of course). So you have to "flash" TWRP before you can install your ROM.

Be cautious : some of the TWRP provided in the links may give you a weird result :(

Just take the one in the link from the OP and flash it... it should work I guess.

Then reboot into recovery (hold power and volume up while rebooting).

Once rebooted, just follow the on-screen options to install.

Regards.
[LeEco Le Max 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] xterminater07:
thank you for the respond nexuspenguin, so flashing the twrp as mentioned would root the device as well? I have delt with prior android devices and you have to do a one click root, then put twrp.
