Hi. bought an al-10 from china which apparently is flashed. There are a few things not working on phone so apart from trying to get help from seller, i have attempted the flashing myself. i have gone thru a few threads and watched TK vid on flashing twrp and rooting and roni on unlocking bootloader. now, considering the device is flashed i understand the bootloader is still unlocked (in fastboot says phone unlocked). in dev options there is no OEM unlocking option. i cannot get lock state through the code in dialler. when i try to flash twrp, sending recovery OKAY, writing recovery FAILED <remote: command not allowed> so cannot really get to rooting stage

Thank you for the time.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] LastStandingDroid:
And the device is? Did u use fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ptwarecki:
Hi.

Sorry device is honor 8 frd-al10.

It was fastboot flash recovery twrp_cn.img

I have just received a message from seller stating it was flashed with eu firmware. I have it as frd c900b120. Should i be using the image for FRD-L09 or FRD-L19 in this case ?

Thank you.

I just purchased the ZTE Axon 7

I'm trying to find a pinned post on the steps I need to take to have this new cell be Verizon compatible.

Please can someone direct me to where there may be previous discussions on this as I can't find it.

We've been on virgin mobile for a long time so we don't have a GSM SIM so I just need to know what kind of phone I need to get with the nano (?) SIM and the next steps to get Verizon on the new phones.

Thanks!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] emtownsend:
I'm pretty sure all you need is a valid Verizon nano-SIM.

This may help too:

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] flyer_andy:
You'll need to purchase the A2017U model, which is the standard USA-unlocked model. There is not a specific Verizon variant of the Axon 7.

The Axon 7 is sort of Verizon compatible, but there are issues. Also, unless you already have an active Verizon SIM available to you, you CANNOT activate an Axon 7 on Verizon - Verizon will not activate SIMs with this device. You'll have to already have an active Verizon SIM to use the Axon 7.

So, that said...here's a summary of the issues. For one, the phone will often show [falsely] that it's roaming, so you'll have to turn data roaming on. Also, when data service is on eHRPD or EvDO 3G or 1X, the carrier will be '123456' or '31000' or '002127.' Finally, a GSM SIM is, in my opinion, *essential* to properly set up the radio on initial activation. GSM SIMs can be purchased from many places including Target/Wal-Mart/grocery stores, etc...and a non-active GSM SIM will work fine. But...in my experience, performing *initial* set up of your Axon 7 with a Verizon SIM will cause radio problems later, most commonly a lack of LTE connectivity and sometimes additional problems with calls and texts. So it's very wise to obtain a GSM SIM (a friend's or, again, an inactive one will do fine) with which you should perform initial setup. After initial set-up with the GSM SIM and a few reboots, the Verizon SIM can be inserted.

Anyway, I've had my Axon 7 on Verizon for about three months and it's worked ok...but here are the steps I'd suggest if you can obtain both a GSM SIM and an already active Verizon SIM:

1) Deactivate "Advanced Calling" in your Verizon account, if it's active. Also, turn off the Advanced Calling setting in your previous Verizon device as appropriate and make a call on your old phone over 1X to make sure VoLTE is fully disabled on your account.

2) Acquire a GSM SIM card (i.e., AT&T, T-Mobile, or any of their respective MVNOs). This SIM card does *not* need to be active - a friend's will do fine as well.

3) Perform initial setup of the Axon 7 with the GSM SIM card inserted.

4) Reboot the phone once after setup is complete. Wait a few minutes.

5) Turn off phone, and insert your active Verizon SIM card.

6) Reboot the phone.

7) Enable the "Data roaming" setting in the Dual SIM settings/mobile networks. This is necessary due to a problem in ZTE's firmware on this device.

Finally, just as a note - VoLTE and WiFi Calling on Verizon do not work on the Axon 7 at present. Calls must be made over CDMA 1X...so if you're in a Verizon LTE-only area you won't have calls and you might not have texts either.

Good luck!

Thanks so much for taking the time to write all the steps! You said.I had to get the A2017U model is there a reason for this? I just noticed the model I just purchased is the A7G330 and A7G331 will the above steps work on those phones?

Thanks again!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] flyer_andy:
The A7G331 will be the correct model, yes...not sure about the A7G330 - did you mean the A7G333? These model numbers just differentiate between colors...with the A7G331 being the grey one and the A7G333 the gold one. The A2017U is both of these...these model numbers just differentiate color.

oh shucks....I'm so embarrassed! It's just the difference in colour. oh boy I'm such a noob!

Pre Paid Verizon Phone with SIM?

Can someone please tell me what kind of phones have a SIM card for verizon? Moto E2 can't seem to find any in stock. Am seeing a lot of phones but no SIM.

Thanks
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] emtownsend:
I am a little ignorant on this subject, but I was always under the impression that one could simply purchase a SIM/nano-SIM for around $29?

EDIT: Yikes, OK $45... but here is a link: https://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/4g-sim-activation-kit/
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] scoochy:
Yeah, I know I can buy verizon prepaid SIM thing is....can't activate.it.in my new Axon 7 so need a Verizon phone to activate and then switch SIM over to Axon.

Was just looking for a cheap one with SIM already installed.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] emtownsend:
Ah gotcha, sorry.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] flyer_andy:
Yeah this is always a big pain for sure...you'll need a nano-SIM

Verizon branded

phone (though you can cut down the SIM to nano size for the Axon 7 if you need to if you can't find a Verizon nano-SIM one) *or* a [unlocked as necessary] Nexus 6, Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X, Google Pixel, Moto X Pure Edition 2015, or [unlocked or Verizon] iPhone 6/6 Plus/6S/6S Plus (and maybe a few others?)

Swappa.com is a really good place to get cheap, used Verizon phones with activate-able ESNs/IMEIs: https://swappa.com/buy/devices/verizon

Often you can buy a Verizon prepaid phone+SIM at WalMart for fairly cheap too but there are some limitations *if* you're planning on going postpaid (I think it has to be paid for a month on Prepaid before it can be used on postpaid or something)...but I believe if you're planning on activating a prepaid account you can get like an HTC Desire 526 from WalMart maybe and then activate on Verizon PrePaid and pay your first month and then move the SIM card into your Axon 7 right away...and then perhaps [hopefully] activate any the other SIMs with the same phone if you're wanting to do multiple ones. In this video, Total Tech seems to be able to pull the SIM out and I presume you could then just add it to a different phone, though the Verizon SIM is adhered somewhat to the tray of the 526 it appears: https://youtu.be/PC1y4b0zCHQ

Good luck!!!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] scoochy:
Ah that's brilliant thanks Andy!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Skingy1:
So I found a cheap Verizon prepaid phone at Walmart with nano SIM yeah! So going to pick up as Axon 7 came today so will set up. Now for the GSM SIM does that have to be nano or Micro SIM or if it doesn't matter. . .

I read somewhere on the forums that there are two slots - SIM 1 for CDMA, SIM2 GSM? I can't quite remember if that's the right way around.

Anyway...off I go! Hope this works the phone looks really nice & I haven't even switched it on yet.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] flyer_andy:
It should be a nano-SIM in both slots. And when you activate, the GSM SIM should be used in slot 1 (the Verizon slot). Then you can put the Verizon SIM in after a few reboots. For dual-SIM purposes only, slot 1 must be CDMA and slot 2 is GSM...but for single SIM operation slot 1 can be either one.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Skingy1:
Thanks again Andy. So helpful! Will let you know how it goes. :D
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] scoochy:
Thanks Andy

Here is my screenshot. Im assuming when it says "Verizon wireless" at the top left that's showing 4G as well?

I don't see the usual LTE symbol...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] scoochy:
So when I switch off Wi-Fi I see LTE

Sorry if this has been mentioned hundreds of times before.... But I'm assuming you can't have Wi-Fi and LTE on at the same time?

My other phone is on Wi-Fi mostly and where there's no Wi-Fi automatically goes on the data plan. Is there a set up for this?

Thanks again!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tolymatev:
Mine does that by itself. As soon as i leave my house it switches to LTE
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] flyer_andy:
There actually is a way to run LTE and WiFi concurrently though it typically isn't necessary for most users as the phone will manage this on its own (as tolymatev said above)...but if you want to do it it's pretty easy...here are the steps:

1) Open Settings/"All Settings" tab

2) Scroll down to "About Phone"

3) Scroll down to "Build number"

4) Tap "Build number" repeatedly until the phone tells you "Congratulations, you're a developer!!!" or something like that

5) Hit back button

6) Tap the [newly appeared] "Developer options"

7) Scroll down and select "Cellular data always active"

This mode will keep the LTE connected (though data should still flow over wifi as long as wifi is connected) so that the phone will quickly switch between wifi and cellular...some people like this option though it does allegedly consume just a tad bit more battery than usual.

Glad you got the phone working!!!

How well does this phone handle lte <> eHRPD transitions on verizon? And more specifically, does ehrpd/evdo actually work with an activated verizon sim?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] scoochy:
So this morning I woke up to my nice new phone but noticed on mine there was no "Verizon" in the too left corner but showing LTE... Is this normal?

I rebooted and it showed for a couple of mins then disappeared again.

Hubby's phone shows 123456 in top left.

Weird
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] scoochy:
So I did *#*#4636#*#* on both phones....

Mine is first screenshot, hubby's is second -ignore the "Verizon" LTE that's my phone - didn't crop screenshot)

How come mine shows LTE and hubs 3G?

Notice the signal strength too. I'm sitting in the same place holding both phones and such a difference! Maybe I did something wrong on set up and need to factory reset and start over or I just need to return his and get another?

Would love to hear some ideas! (which I'm sure in the XDA universe this has all been said before)

Could this be to do with APN settings? Mine is showing Verizon tracphone

Well I factory reset and that seemed to work.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] gpz1100:
Are you with tracphone or verizon? Proper apn setting is vital to getting lte.

Btw, you 2nd pic answers my previous question about 3g working or not (some rural areas don't have lte).
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] flyer_andy:
I've had that happen...the GSM SIM you used to when you set up was supposed to prevent this but perhaps that didn't work! There are two ways of dealing with this...the first is to just reboot with the GSM SIM once, let the radio re-initialize, then turn the phone off and put the Verizon SIM back in. This should fix this. The second way that I did have luck with in a moment of frustration is to just toggle the airplane mode and WiFi buttons really rapidly for about 10 or 15 seconds, which seemed to sort of crash then re-initialize the radio.

In any case a GSM SIM should clear this issue for good - this seems to be related (I think?) to software updates and also initial activation where the Verizon SIM is installed...but neither of these scenarios seem to be your issue so I'm not sure why this happened...hopefully it doesn't continue...mine has done this and it now is behaving after a GSM SIM reset.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] gpz1100:
^^Andy,

I'm just getting started with this device but am quite familiar with motorola's.

Does the axon7 support fastboot mode and have modemst1/modemst2 partitions?

If so, it should be possible to boot into fastboot mode, and perform a

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

commands to clear the radio settings.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] flyer_andy:
From what I'd read in a previous thread ZTE has somehow blocked the fastboot erase function...at least, according to this info on Reddit (I think this is somewhere on XDA as well, but I can't find it)...I've not tried it as of yet so I'm not sure!

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] emtownsend:
This is what mine looks like too. I clean booted mine (as a "new phone") with my Verizon SIM only, no GSM. So far so good!

What am I risking again??
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] flyer_andy:
The GSM SIM thing is just to remedy what seems like a problem with CDMA on the Axon 7...in a lot of people's experience after activating with a CDMA SIM, the phone works for a week or so and then suddenly gets stuck with either no data at all or only 3G data (this happened to me about 10 days or so after activation...and I had to reset the modem with a GSM SIM to get things back to working order)...so the conjecture is/was that during setup something might be taking place with the CDMA SIM which inhibits the proper setting-up of the modem firmware...and that setting up with a GSM SIM more closely follows ZTE's expected scenario vis-a-vis initial cellular activation.

This step *might* also be useful after each OTA update as well, in case the modem-related firmware stuff is cleared out and/or re-installed during the OTA.

But, perhaps the GSM SIM is an unneeded step - if your phone has been working great without the initial GSM SIM setup then that's great news! Perhaps this step is just superstition lol...I don't think anyone has ever really figured out why the Axon 7 sometimes has the CDMA 3G/LTE data problem come up so it's still kind of an unknown.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] emtownsend:
You still may be right though... I've only owned it five days or so now. I'll post back for sure if I make it past a couple weeks with no ill effects!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] xtermmin:
If you get stuck on 2G/3G only, an alternative to using a GSM SIM to reset the connection is to open up the Phone Info secret menu (can't remember the code, easier to just download "4G LTE Switch" from the Play Store), scroll down to connection type, and change between various options like "LTE-only", "LTE/CDMA auto", and "LTE/GSM/CDMA auto" while hitting "Radio Radio On/Off". At some point it'll reset the modem status and re-connection you to Verizon LTE, at which point just re-select "LTE/GSM/CDMA auto" and make sure the radio is turned on.

I've only had this happen once though, hasn't happened again.

Update to latest nougat firmware AMD everything should work. Enable volte via provisioning. Search in xda for LTE provisioning. Am on Verizon with voice over LTE. Can access internet and phone at the same time. Not sure about Wi-Fi calling though
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] madhits45:
flyer_andy is mostly correct in this.

I can offer a correction to what he says about volte because you can get VoLTE on the axon7 with verizon but its tricky. I had to activate the phone on an HD voice 1.0 phone iphone 6 or newer and prob other models. I have total wireless (verizon mvno) once I do that I can swap the sim and get VoLTE on the axon7 through turning it on in test mode. Ive had volte working for a while now. I believe verizon just thinks Im on the iphone6. and I dont know what would happen if I took the iphone 6 and tried to use it on another verizon account as my service is prob tied to its IMEI in there system.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] flyer_andy:
Hey man - the post you've quoted of mine is from 2016. The Axon 7 was updated to Nougat in 2017 and then it could get VoLTE thereafter. However if you're using Marshmallow (which...probably no one is) then VoLTE will not work on Verizon. Just wanted to clarify.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] madhits45:
Ohh duh your right. Still you do need another phone (approved) to get volte working regardless of the Android version on the axon 7.

Some people report Pocket Hack Master worked for them.

Able to actually change the CPU speed, and noticed some obvious changes in their device behaviour.

It's worth a try
[P3600 Accessories] cecrops:
well i was experiencing very slow speeds and it seemed too sluggish for a 400mhz cpu. well i install xcpuscalar(3.03) and it was showing my cpu was set at 200mhz. this is a fresh flash of htc official wm5 rom so i found that odd. well i set it to 500mhz and ive been running it stable and smooth no problems. much faster, very obvious, will have to test more to see effect on battery but it does have settings to scale the cpu according to load. ymmv
[P3600 Accessories] riri22:
That might be a new release of xcpuscalar that does support the samsung cpu effectively.

Some people has tested that soft one year ago, but it appeared to be, even once set to 500 mhz only placebo effect. When check with other softs, the cpu speed remained the same.

Nevertheless, it's very odd that on a fresh bought device, you have only a 200mhz speed, half the normal one...

The Trinity run very slow sometimes, but this is a matter of optimisation of the ROM you are using, not necessarilly a problem with the cpu speed itself.

Another good and simple way to check your cpu speed is TCPMP. In any case, it's always better to double-check with another soft, rather than believe everything your overclocking soft says.

;)
[P3600 Accessories] cecrops:
after more usage i uninstalled xcpu. when you first run the program it is set to default 200mhz which is why i thought thats what i was really at. TCPMP says im at 390-400 no matter what. better not to have too many programs running and loading at boot. also i tried pocket hack master but that didnt work either. ill stick to sktools and trinityhack, those registry tweaks are what i think i really needed.
