hi good morning to all, i really really ned a help regarding to my phone.

I have a lenovo s90-A and unfornately when i tried to factory reset on twrp Recovery i accidently select everything to be wiped including the Operating system and i think this is a big problem, Now what i tried to do is to download an SD update Rom Version 4.4.4 which is kitkat but suddenly i've done everything but nothings working(what i did is i tried to create a new folder which is sdfuse and put the .qsb file inside the folder and now i tried to go into recovery mode which is Volume down+Power and when i got there i press sdupdate but im having an error it says that no sdfuse found in dir which is very wrong because i placed the sdfuse folder in sdcard directory and aside from that whenever i go to recovery mode it will automatically restart but there is 15 sec interval which im still able to press the volume buttons and then it will just automatically shutsdown or restart.) so now i dont know what to do i have also tried to go to TWRP recovery but the thing is its still not working.....please i really need your help guys...:confused::confused::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

This Bootloader Unlock announcement just for USA users has annoyed me to the maximum now.

Why are the USA users getting a premium service compared to EU/UK users when we are paying £360/€450 for the phone?

All problems:

> No Stock ROM/Theme

> USA have up to date ROM (B02 Released for Europe)

> Buggy OS on EU version (B02 Released for Europe)

> Passport 2.0 for US (Confirmed 3 year warranty)

> Screen Protector for US

> Regular Software Updates for US (B02 Released for Europe)

> Great support forums for USA

> BOOTLOADER UNLOCK only for USA

There are a few more to add to the list im sure, but i cannot remember them at time of posting.

Anyone have suggestions to what us EU/UK users can do to get the same level of service/support as the USA

I am hearing minimal from ZTE about anything and have to result to the USA forums but they are not much help there.

Post suggestions below

After a lot of effort and messaging to EKEYUK we have had some success!

Don't expect anything at the moment from ZTE in Europe.

Don't get me wrong, i like the device (preordered, will see how it goes) and i'm happy to see ZTE working with the customers in North America (to a certain extent) but ZTE just isn't implemented in Europe. They sell a dozen of differents devices and that's it.

To change things, i would say contact ZTE via official forms but they aren't responding...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] rikin93:
Dont get me wrong either, i love the device but the support is just terrible.

The bootloader unlock isnt a big deal to me now, im sure someone later on will release an easy way to unlock and install custom roms.

The main issue is that ZTE are giving USA users such a premium service and a better OS which is way less buggy.

They promise Nougat when it comes out but will us in EU ever see that, we havent even got one OS update yet.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Klanac89:
Don't buy it - this is the only way to say "change something".

I really like the Axon 7, it's almost perfect, just few more mAh but I will not pay more than the US (450€ = +500$ / OnePlus is 399€ and US 399$) and get less (no case, no screen protector, no updates, no support, no passport...)

Maybe I will order one by Amazon, open it and send it back. Really start hate ZTE.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] rikin93:
To be fair, there is a case, and we are getting passport 2.0 now after the weeks of complaints to ZTE.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] djona12:
To be fair, you don't pay more for the Axon 7 than the US (well, 13$ more but that's negligeable). You have take taxes into account, inluded in Europe, excluded in the US.

Not buying isn't gonna change things since they obviously don't really care for the European market at the moment. But i have to admit it's just too much hastle to go and rant about Europe to ZTE on every communication channel they have...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] kostasgrpanatha:
Actually i just saw that the give one more year plus, so its 3 years in total.. that makes me feel a bit better because i am also a bit upset for not have the same privileges as the US version

Thats from amazon.co.uk

"Customers who bought Axon 7 from our store also enjoy following VIP treatments:

1. Local after-sales service

2. Additional one year warranty, the smartphone get 3 years warranty

3. A free repair service for screen within 6 month for one time

4. A free repair service for problem which caused by water for one time "
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Klanac89:
ZTE Germany (Facebook) sad "no case and no screen protector" they even don't know, what passport means.

Not buying is the only way. It's all about the €$¥! Check the last thing with bootloader. Canncel pre-orders and few days later "ok, bootloader unlock next week". Samsung remove sd card slot and after so much hate it's back. They only care about money, like any other company.

U pay 399$, what is about 350€. Look how simple this is: 3,5€ are 1%, 10% are 35€, 20% are 70€... so you need to pay about 30% taxes to get the EU price. We even don't got a forum. The ZTE Axon 7 is not on the homepage of ZTE :D :D :D

http://www.ztemobile.de/
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] djona12:
ZTE Europe reps are just idiots... Just look at the release date announced at ZTE UK twitter (announced end 2016 while it was 27 july). I wouldn't take their word for it.

I agree, it sure is all about the money. But since they didn't invest any king of "big" money for the european market, they won't ccare about relatively bad sales, that's the irony of it...

On the other end, for the prices, you are not entirely wrong but it's more like 25.7% taxes to get to the same price point. Since average VAT is 21.5%, we aren't too far from those 25.7% (give or take 15€ more for the European price).
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] :
I really don't care about the price, when the service is good but this is just unfair. They pi** on EU and take more for less service. This is what makes pain to order Axon 7.

After flop release maybe no updates and with looked bootloader you just get f...d by ZTE. The last flagship they sell for 211€ after few months.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] rikin93:
Everything you say is true. How can they release the phone for US and UK markets at the same time, yet give US users a more premium quality operating system than EU!!! like wtf haha Shouldnt it be the same rolled out for all and wouldnt it make it easier for them too
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] ipmanwck:
Does the US version not work in the UK ?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Sammae7:
US users get shafted plenty. Most of our devices are riddled with carrier bloat that cripples resources. We also almost never get headphones that are included in other models.

Often we have to resort to International models which don't always have all the required bands.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] :
Using the Axon 7 reminds me of a Samsung phone from three or four years ago. I don't mean the UI—MiFavor 4.0 doesn't look bad. It's just overloaded with buggy features that probably don't need to exist. It feels cluttered. At the same time, features that I do want like lock screen notifications and Do Not Disturb mode are made less accessible.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/08/10/zte-axon-7-review/

So, this is the reason why we need open bootloader. The Axon 7 is a beast but no updates, bugs and bloatware.

This is Bull****. I already wrote ZTE Germany about this, no Answer yet. Such a great phone but worst support ever
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Nexus5-32GB:
As I was looking into this phone and considering buying it, but not now anymore as I would have to get US version when living in Middle East in the moment. Too complicated. Other thing is I was using AXON Elite for two weeks and send it back as I was not happy with it - this is same phone (design) with better specs only. It is very slippery in hand and fingerprint on the back? No, thanks.

ZTE support in EU is terrible.

Thanks all you guys for sharing your opinions as it helped me to get something else. (Note 7 or OP3)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] paatha13:
ZTE defently has to improve the all situations in Europe for everything.

Availability most of all and support.

There's no excuse the EU version the software has limited features while the US having more.

By the way the only downside to me is the lack of 60fps video recording.

Also the more buggy EU rom than the US first user mention here in Europe.

The lack of dynamic lock screen there's even better alternative from store like next lock screen.

As for the warranty will get minimum standard 2 years as every electronic device in EU(buying from Amazon is also much better as you have excellent after sales support giving you 30 days return policy)

But I must to admit the the all story beginning to upset me and becoming a joke especially availability of the device.

My order from Amazon de is still open but I'm not gone wait more than 2-3 weeks from today.

I'm beginning to think also the 6/128 version if become Available through October-November as ZTE said that will bring that version by end of the year.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Kowoliksn:

ive canceled my pre order just today because it upsets me how they are treating us as eu users it was an overall drea phone for me but no they needed to take part on the sh*t train

So funny. Zte Germany Facebook did't know about the 3 years....
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] paatha13:
The issue is that there's no alternative device with the features Axon 7 offer.

That's also very annoying.

I want device with stereo speakers with quad HD AMOLED display with Hi-Fi audio 24bit and top build/premium feeling and beautiful design.

So unless ZTE screw up completely I'm gone give 2-3 weeks time before make my final decision.

Yeah bit did you read about the bugs? Some user can not watch youtube because of bugs (check bug thread).
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] paatha13:
Yes I've read that but I don't think being so dramatic.

Probably with optimistic scenario first units from Amazon being dispatched by end of August and received 2-3 days after,so there's a month and meanwhile ZTE has pull out software update.

As I said if ZTE screw up completely I simple give up and if received the device I'm willing to return it back if having full of bugs.

Buggy software is not acceptable 3 months device out there in the market despite Europe lack of availability.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] rikin93:
The only noticeable bug is the audio/video sync on youtube but i have reported this to all communications we have of ZTE here in the EU so they do know about it and are working on it.

The main issue im having now is that getting the unlocked bootloader would really help with installing a stock rom/custom rom to give it a better android experience. I would love root access so i can tinker with increasing vibration and sound as well.

I'm confused I paid taxes for mine which was $432.00 dollars total. I bought mine directly from ZTE USA. So what are you talking about no taxes for US version?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] djona12:
No taxes included in the displayed price :).

In opposition as the european price that include the taxes !
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] rczrider:
And in the US, you can avoid paying taxes by purchasing from a retailer that doesn't charge because they're not in your state :p

Yeah, yeah, I know you're supposed to self-report and pay them at your annual tax return...but no one does that and I'm not going to start any time soon.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] :
432$ = 386€

EU = 449€ (+500$)

+ no case, no screen protector...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] djona12:
There is a case and the screen protector is a 1$ plastic one... And the difference is that you got 21% taxes in europe while he only got 8% in his state.

This price rage is the same thing again and again when firstly it's wrong and secondly it's the same for almost everything you can buy ;).
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jimmydee67:
Well that sucks I guess there trying to break into the US market because of the oneplus 3 that sells for the same price so ZTE is trying to beat One Plus.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Klanac89:
21% not true, it's 17% and in Germany 19% BUT why ZTE remove something cheap? I will pay about 70€ more and zero updates and even 1$ case removed.

ZTE have no idea, why OnePlus is selling more. From hardware point, the Axon 7 kill the OnePlus 3 but by OnePlus you can easy unlock bootloader, get clean Android and a lot of custom roms. Try to find a case for Axon 7... no support.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] djona12:
I have no idea why there isn't the screen protector. The price is standardized for all Europe and the average european VAT is at 21,5%.

Well OP and ZTE clearly don't share the same commercial ideas and support view. Probably because OP is a small company (part of a big group but still) while ZTE is quite big in the industry. ZTE is using the same business business model as a lot of others big copmpany like Samsung, LG, etc. OP is quite unique in the smartphone industry, since it's adopting the same kind of model as the Nexus line (which follows an even stranger model). And in the end, i'm not sure OP is selling more than ZTE, it's just an impression you got from being part of a "small" community of enthusiast. OP only aims at this little market share of enthusiast while ZTE is trying to extend to the whole "cheap" high end market.

As far as accessories support goes, while it's only the first ZTE smartphone making some waves (first Axon was a flop, let's face it), it's the fourth for OP. Back in the days of the OPO launch, you didn't have any accessories either.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nuklid:
You forget oneplus has a big community and the support of oneplus is not as good as from some other companies but mutch better then from zte... That's maybe some more reason

Yes but S7 edge don't have the same feature Axon 7 offer.

No stereo speakers,no Hi-Fi audio 24 bit,no full aluminum unibody,no 64gb on board storage,no out of the box gestures like double tap to wake.

But Offer other advantages like AOD(even limited with no third party app notification)wireless charging,better camera performance at low light conditions and of course the best battery life today in his category.

Also at ZTE support page it's says just the normal 2 years warranty period.
