The only reason that I took all the extra steps is because I read the entire thread and those were all the things that were mentioned. I just had to figure out what order to do them in since that's not really clear in the thread, but it turns out that is the order to do them in. You method cuts most of those steps out. I just took the extra steps to make sure I had a back up of everything. I don't want to screw up my girlfriends phone. And that TWRP with support for external SD cards works like a charm!

Doing it in that order didn't work for me. I tried flashing Super User before removing Kingo Root, but having both installed at once made the phone so slow that it became frozen. I couldn't even get to the settings to stop Kingo Root from running. So I restored a nandroid back up that didn't have Super User installed and then removed Kingo Root with SD Maid. Oddly enough I got a message saying uninstall unsuccessful, but it was no longer listed as an installed app. I restarted the phone to make sure it was gone, which it was. Then I rebooted into recovery, flashed Super User and it worked!

I used SD Maid to remove all of the following:

Cloud Print

Google Drive

Google Hangouts

Google Play Movies & TV

Google Play Music

Google+

Print Spooler

Are the odex files for those supposed to remain in the system\app folder? Because they are still there even though the APKs have been removed. There were two more apps I removed dealing with some Spanish language packs, but can't remember the names of the apps. I think it would be safe to remove Google Calendar Sync, Google Contact Sync, and Google Talkback, but left them in case my girlfriend wants to use them. She does use Chrome sometimes so I left that as well. All it had was stock apps and SU at that point so I made another nandroid backup (and it was only 1GB now as opposed to 2.17GB the very first nandroid backup). I must say that the phone got noticeably faster, even when booting it up when the home screen appears. It runs smoother now. And I haven't even tried the Nova launcher or L-SPeed yet.

Now to try some apps from the Play store. Hopefully it keeps running this smooth.
[Android General] slacker8135666:
The odex files I'm not sure about. I deoxed my rom long time ago. I do have that file on my drive also. When you get a chance test your adb (MTP) in recovery and let me know if iworks !!! The reason I ask is because there is a version of the recovery where it doesn't work. I just fixed that 2 months ago and I'm not sure if the correct file is posted. Thanks
[Android General] anotherdj:
Thank you for your work!!

Wanted to ask - what's the emmc.img at your Google Drive? Is it the latest version of your ROM? Deodexed?
[Android General] slacker8135666:
Thats a backup of the whole phone about a month ago
[Android General] anotherdj:
Seeing the amount of effort you put into trimming and speeding up your ROM, I considered flashing your emmc.img, to use it with my /data. Would you recommend? I have an Assurance Wireless phone.
[Android General] slacker8135666:
You can try and use it but I'm threw q-link. What you can do is put that deoexed rom on there and then delete system apps and I can give you the color status bar app. I also put a sound mod in mine that kicks a** if you want that
[Android General] anotherdj:
Deodexed - you mean emmc.img? Or backup.img, then deodex_install.zip?

Lemme get one of those working to my taste, and I might take you up on the status bar & sound mods :) - thanks for the offer!
[Android General] slacker8135666:
Just use the deodex_install.zip and you should be fine
[Android General] RebelLion_:
Sorry for a noob question, but would it be possible to just flash the recovery through FTM mode using fastboot? I've never used it, I've only dealt with rooting iPhones and Samsungs until this one. It seems like I won't be able to root the damn thing anyways lol
[Android General] Gborg3:
As long as fastboot is accessible you can experiment with that. I'd check OEM unlock commands first and see if you have success with that before hoping for much luck flashing anything other than stock recovery. Have a backup of stock recovery too so there's less to worry about.
[Android General] The5thSurvivor:
Wow, I'm now just seeing this. I'll be sure to test it when I can borrow my girlfriend's ZTE Quest again. Probably won't be until next week since she needs it now.

Any custom roms available for this phone yet?

Thanks.
[Android General] wilbigdaddy2000:
Please someone tell me there is a way to install the firmware via sdcard. I don't have a computer at this time and I need to get this phone back up and running. Please help me.

[Android General] GurneyHallek:

Thank you @slacker8135666

The great efforts you put in rooting the ZTE N817 are really appreciated :good:

Any possibility of rooting with newer SW Version N817V1.0.0B16 ? :confused:
[Android General] sherjeela:

Any possibility.....::confused:
[Android General] DaddyShortLeggs:
Were you able to find any info on your phone? I was asking because I have the same phone.
[Android General] GurneyHallek:
Not a thing as of yet. Its a cheap little sucker so I'm going to assume nothing will come of it.
[Android General] sketchscarz:
The N817 is definitely a direct variant of the ZTE Tempo N9137. Ive got 7.1.1 & update the firmware all it can. I was thinking of modifying the firmware by flashing but I am unable to get into fastboot. Ive gotten into FTm mode tried kingo kingroot, and iroot. Ive tried disabling the hardware force protection by adb reboot force encryption mmvcsp. I removed it (I think) and then ran the above apps with no success.
[Android General] KittenSauce:
The ZTE Tempo X N9137 has a different processor and twice as much as RAM compared to the ZTE N817. They are not direct variants, and it would be very difficult to get the firmware of the former running on the latter.
[Android General] sketchscarz:
I have learned something new. I thought the form factor had something to do with the variance.. Or at least programming & software. I will look morely into this information. Thank you for enlightening me!
[Android General] :
Does Magisk work? If so, do I have to use the MediaTek patched version? Do I need to flash from recovery or use patched boot.img?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lkiefer:
I have a rooted HTC One flashed with beanstalk. I no longer have a data plan on this phone but use it daily as a universal remote control, an external drive, and mainly as a media center to cast movies to my smart TV.

Can anyone recommend any add on or apps or tweaks to improve on the media experience for this phone and ROM?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimmyP:
Kodi

Just got a charging MHL cable to do this same thing, and it is phenomenal; just as good as my desktop. You cant really improve beyond this.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lkiefer:
Which cable did you buy? There are a lot of cheap low quality cables out there so if yours is working so good, I will follow suite and buy the same one.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimmyP:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019GQ11H4/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Sorry I didnt get back sooner. Only 3 left (there were about 15 when I ordered) so get on it if you want it. Confirmed charge and display.

PS: Any charging mhl cable is only going to slow discharge because playing hd video consumes a lot. But this easily keeps it high enough for 24 hours, and then you just leave it plugged in so it recharges every night.

Leave Kodi open, have second screen dim and turn off in your the phone screen in your profile... screen off, and full HD Kodi from an old phone I still am in love. Use power button to turn on after long period of inactivity. I dont know whats going on here, but after hours of non-use its a black screen until I press power (phone is obviously still on, and I can hear kodis menu click sounds).

After trying everything related to sp flash tool and software thing it failed. So I went for the hardware thing. I blew heat to emmc using SMD heat blower. Not too much of heat just near about 300. After that I tried to flash. It worked and customer's phone is alive now.
[General Questions and Answers] Kalilinux007:
You are using wrong stock rom file.

You need to download the right stock rom for you device in order to successfully flash. To do this open the back cover of you phone and remove the battery (if battery is not removable only remove cover) and find "S/W: v_____.if you have find the S/W version of your phone note it down and google it out including you device name and finally download the right stock rom file for your device.Then flash the file to your phone using sp flash tool latest version.

And make sure that you are using the original cable to flash your phone.

Custom Stock ROM v1

Due to confusion and minor bugs that required some user input I have removed the TWRP version and replaced it with this SPFlashTool version.​

Before Flashing:

This ROM will wipe your internal sd_card including Pictures, Music, etc, etc on it. BACKUP First You have been warned!!!

This ROM is NOT a full Android upgrade so please make sure you are already on Android 6.0 (MM)

Whats Different bigrammy??

boot.logo Now Black instead of the White burning out your eyeballs one.

bootanimation. Now Black Pixel animation.

Default wallpapers Desktop and lockscreen Now Pixel Blue (no more boats)

Pixel Launcher

Assistant enabled

Sony id enabled (Allows you to install some Sony app's from the play store like keyboard)

Ported Sony Music Album and Video directly from my Sony C4 mt6752 device. :D

These are Just to name a few but has lots of other minor mods I have forgotten about.

Installing and things to Note:

MM TWRP is included in the ROM.

Please flash the entire ROM or I/we will not know whats causing the problems should there be any.

After the flash is complete boot to recovery ONLY and flash Magisk Latest Stable release HERE

First time boot takes 10 minutes so do not panic. As soon you see the boot animation go make a cup of coffee and wait.

It will boot guaranteed if you see the bootanimation. :fingers-crossed:

The reason it seems to take so long is that the boot animation continues until fully booted so you do not see the usual dialog box "updating app 1 of xxx" etc

Ensure you update Google Play Services via the playstore (Doing this First ensures smooth and uninterrupted updates of the other playstore apps)

Update all other app's listed in playstore/my apps

Note app's like trackid will only display in portrait as our device res is not officially supported.

Credit to HootanParsa for the Awesome file explorer his thread is HERE Please leave your thanks there too.

Ensure to check all app permission and choose the Pixel launcher as default.

See post #3 for instruction on hiding the SIM icon in the notifications bar.

Lastly But Most important please LEAVE SOME FEEDBACK

I know it will not be to everyone's tastes so feel free to mod add remove install what you like.

[MENTION=3924647]bigrammy[/MENTION] I'm sure it's on your to-do list, but how about, in the first post or placeholder posts, links to

- TWRP

- Original MM ROM

- Individual mods and/or guides to customisations/tweaks

Otherwise i guess they run the risk of getting swallowed up in the thread...Not that that has ever happened :eek:

Cheers
[Android General] bigrammy:
Hi chris5s,

Yes good point & I have been mulling this over since I started this dedicated MM 6.0 thread.

I really don't want to be dragged into the world of noobs and SPFlashtool, driver installation, flashing, etc as they will swear blacks white and whites black regardless of how well it's all explained. So I will put up the links along with a strong warning that I/we will not expand on SPflashTool drivers etc etc for installation of the Original MM ROM and TWRP recovery.

All the Best.

Edit: All Done anything I missed let me know.

[MENTION=3924647]bigrammy[/MENTION] Excellent work on the thread.

Since I don't have this tablet anymore, my information are probably not updated. This is an amazing device, and I enjoyed every bit of it. It's still running strong with my younger brother.

I shall put a link to this thread in mine so that people can come here for most current information.

Great job on the new thread, looks great and should streamline the process of the noobs and experienced alike find what they need and point them in the right direction. Great tutorial. The reason Android will keep growing is because of people like ones that have been involved with the dev work on this tablet, and all the projects here on XDA..
[Android General] mr-br:
I was just comparing my A10-70F running 6.0.1 with my mother's which is on stock 5.0.1 and found that my screen was distinctly dull and grey in comparison. After removing f.lux and checking all the display and battery settings were the same I was stumped.

That was until I discovered that the brightness slider setting does absolutely nothing on mine!

Does it work for everyone else?
[Android General] chris5s:
[MENTION=4577235]mr-br[/MENTION] working fine here :good:
[Android General] Tzul:
[MENTION=4577235]mr-br[/MENTION] People with non-working brightness sliders on this tablet usually have enabled auto-brightness somehow, which does not work, as the tablet doesn't have an ambient light sensor. If you disable auto-brightness (for which you might need an app, as there are no controls for it in the standard settings app), then the brightness slider should work again.
[Android General] mr-br:
Yes tx I found this seems to be a generic issue with this tablet. Found the app via a thread on the lenovo forum.

"I just installed the App "Best Display Brightness Level" from "Top10Labs" out of the GPlay-Store, then start it and uncheck the "Auto Brightness" tick Smiley Happy After that, i can use the built in brightness slider, even after uninstall the app Smiley Happy"

My screen still has rather a blue cast though ...
[Android General] gtallmadge:
Has anyone installed this ROM coming from (rooted) stock 5.0.1 yet?
[Android General] bigrammy:
To which ROM do you refer??

If you mean the Stock then pretty much everyone I guess.

If you mean my custom stock then nobody has even bothered to report anything back at all. :(

I am pretty sure it would be just fine but until a few report back to it's OK I cant offer any Guarantees. :o

If your use to SPFlashTool then restoring the tablet would not be an issue anyway.
[Android General] gtallmadge:
Yes, I do mean the stock Lenovo 5.0.1. Another question would be on your custom ROM 6.0, are there any issues for Tab2 A10-70F? As I have observed, you and others in Europe have the L version, which is not available to us in the US. Also, thank you for your hard work and guidance for the device, it is appreciated.
[Android General] bigrammy:
Most of us and me included are on the "F" version I think..

It is just that the L firmware also works on our F versions.

Maybe I should make it clear that my ROM is the WiFi version only as I stripped some of the RIL parts out of the ROM :o
[Android General] gtallmadge:
Good news! I look forward to flashing your ROM and getting 6.0 on my tablet. Thank you for your patience in addressing my concerns and questions.
[Android General] bigrammy:
No problem :o

Be sure to let us know how it all goes. :fingers-crossed:

PS: Is that the Fire Phone you have?? I have just bricked my second Fire Phone trying unlock that darn bootloader again. I maybe able to recover this one though as there are still some signs of life unlike the last one :D
