[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Panspermia98:
Hi all, I have a problem with my device and I can not use the data port USB to perform the conventional method of root (flashing with Odin), so I wanted to get It using those "one click root" but most of these applications throw me errors (may be because I am in the latest version kitkat 4.4.4) before this problem I wanted to downgrade installing an official and signed version of android 4.3, through the stock recovery (with the option to apply update in the SD card) And I wanted to know if this recovery option works also to install another version of android without necessarily being an update. I would also like to receive recommendations on others Methods to root or install a custom recovery that apply to my specific case, thanks.

Might be a dumb questions. I am trying it to install LineageOS, but on my current S7 the charging/data port has been inoperable for a while (cant be fixed, and out of warranty). I exclusively use inductive charging and Bluetooth/WiFi to transfer data. Is it possible to safely install LineageOS, and any of the necessary recovery images/backups without plugging your device into a desktop?

Hi

You could use FlashFire...but you need to be root , if you are not root you need the USB to root your phone.....

Unfortunately it's not rooted yet. I remember on an older phone I was able to root without a desktop, simply by downloading some .apks. Is this not possible with the S7?

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Soween:
Hello, I'm french and new user of the X7500.

I was in a hurry this afternoon (dumbass as I am), and I flash to WM6, no pb.

But when I try to flash to a new beautiful rom (black or touch for X7500), I didn't succeed, so I try to "unlock" it.

I looks like something was wrong during the process because now, I can go to the bootloader (where there is some numbers on the screen, after the rainbow), and I have the HTC white screen, and that's all... I blocked here.

I suceeded to Hard reset one time, but the result is the same...

Please, I saw some "bootloader pbs and solutions", but I can't figure it out.

Can you help me, I'm a little stressed right now... 8-(

Thank you in advance.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Soween:
Ok, the stress is a very bad friend...

I took time and I suceeded to install an official ROM!!

Thanks to you and your old post/answers/...

I'm happy now 8-)

So now, because the touch or black ROM are SO beautiful I need to install one... I will be careful but it must be ok, I think...

Happy X7500 user...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InfernoShark:
I recently bought a ZTE ZFive 2 at Walmart for around $50. Phone was branded as "Total Wireless" aka "TracFone". I'm wondering if this phone has any potential to have a custom recovery & a custom ROM made for it. It's a great device and has a lot of potential "IF" it can be unlocked through customization. Seems the manufacture or more than likely the service provider themselves have locked users out of using "adoptive storage", therefore making the device run out of it's existing "8GB" very fast. (Really only gives you a little over 2GB space to work with after a restore.)

So anyone up for development? I would be very willing to test anything someone could throw together. Just let me know what you need from my phone and how I can get it off of it and to you. Thanks a bunch! :)

Phones specs can be found at the following link:

ZTE ZFive 2 LTE
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InfernoShark:
Okay according to the CPU-Z app, this device only has 4GB of internal storage. Walmart and even ZTE's own website has this information incorrectly shown as 8GB. What the heck? :confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InfernoShark:
Nope it's 8GB but is severely hampered storage wise by what I can only assume is a unseemly bloated version of Marshmallow. It doesn't seem that bloated but it's gotta be. Facebook and Messenger come standard with no way of disabling them. The Google app, Youtube & Gmail which I find completely worthless because I can do them all in a browser also are present with only the exception of the Google app that cannot be disabled. I had a free Alcatel Pixi Unite from Safelink/Tracfone that you could damn near disable everything on. Only bad part was it couldn't be rooted. As unfortunately is the case I believe with the ZTE ZFive 2 LTE. I don't quite know though. I used to dabble more with this kind of thing back in the mid '00's where I practically built my own custom firmware for at the time was a LG Optimus M from Metro PCS.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KimmyG73:
I'm curious about this also. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Curtis1973:
Word to the wise...avoid all zte junk like this. They cripple these devices and most...if not all...of their newer devices like these from carriers come without even being able to reboot them to fastboot or anything else. They dummied down the devices ability to use adb to nothing more than adb reboot recovery. Any other adb command simply just reboots the device. They are crippled trash. Stay away from all of these zte devices from strait talk,boost and so on. All are garbage.

Just and FYI - I bought a cheapo $29 Walgreen's Simple Mobile Trac Phone ZTE Z557bl ZFive... had no problem getting into dev mode, then setting dev option to allow oem unlock and debugging..

From there it's pretty simple process to install custom roms like every other device out there... works fine.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ludeawakening:
I know this is a really late reply, but I just came across this thread because my buddy gave me a ZFive 2 for me to play around with to see if I can make a sweet media player out of it for his son. Your word to the wise is very VERY wise! Haha

It's definitely good to stay away from carrier branded ZTE devices, especially budget ones. It's not really ZTE's fault though, it's the carrier that gets them to cripple and lock down the devices. It's an attempt to make people get annoyed with them really fast so they'll come back and buy a better more expensive device. That's a shame too because ZTE makes some great devices. The new Axon 10 Pro is a beast. They also still work closely with Nubia doing R&D, and the Nubia Red Magic 3 and 3s are absolute animals! Heck... the 3 year old Axon 7 still has a top 5 most powerful Hi-Fi DAC and also still has some of the best sounding dual stereo speakers to this day. Alrighty... sorry for the low key rant. Now back to not being able to do anything with this ZTE Potato. Lol

I have a Z836BL ZFive 2 LTE US purchased at CVS which will not enter fastboot by any method. Fastboot mode will flash for a split second prior to entering recovery mode by pressing the power and volume up buttons until mode is entered.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexenferman:
Well I have a ZTE Avid Plus Z828 with the EXACT SAME SPECS than this device but runs Android Lolipop. I did compile a rom and TWRP image, but it's useless. Even after checking the enable OEM unlock it still won't boot anything except for official signed roms or recoveries. USELESS. The only thing is to modify the bootloader to skip verification checks, (it's already done). I would be very curious to see if the OREO rom from the Zfive2 will work on my device, it has THE SAME HARDWARE. And I bought my device from Canada, normally all the devices from there must be GSM unlocked from the factory, even if you have a contract. And it does not make sense to lock them at least in Canada.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexenferman:
You can probably unlock the bootloader on those by modifying the /devinfo partition. I am not sure if this works on the ZFive 2 but you guys can try it: https://xdaforums.com/android/softw...alcomm-zte-t4100897/post82595723#post82595723

Cheers!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexenferman:
I don't have this phone, but for anyone who wants to get root, you should try to unlock the bootloader using QFIL (Link can be found in the previous page), then make a recovery for it. I made one for my ZTE Avid Plus but for some reason it won't boot :( You will probably have to compile a kernel with Premessive Mode only. Then, you can try to root using Magisk and other tools via patching the image. After you can compile a custom ROM using the Kernel source found at the ZTE website and you can "Extract" the device tree from your phone. Good luck to everyone ;)

Great mod. When Your World is selected in Live wallpapers, the wallpapers are crashing. I have given notification access to notification badges FYI
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Bat-Maniac:
I'm not able to dowload your mod (AFH says 404 not found)...
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] krisyarno:
Thanks for the feedback. I made some changes to the mod. As of now, the live earth wallpapers still crash for some reason. But the live data does work. Sadly, to update this, you'll have to reflash the system.img in TWRP and then reflash your root and the mod. But if you can live with it for a little bit, it'll be easier not to take the newer mod. I'll work on it more later and see if I can stop it from crashing. Thanks again for the feedback on that

[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] krisyarno:

[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Suhas_JS:
No luck yet ?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] krisyarno:
That's interesting. I have it working on mine. Did you flash V2 of the mod?

If so, then you may need to flash your system.img over in twrp. That's found in the stock factory image for DP3. I'd just flash that in twrp in the system.img slot and the reflash too and that should revert everything back to stock and clean install the mod
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Suhas_JS:
Will do it and get back to you. In any case nice work champ. Thanks for this.:good:
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] adrianj93:
I think that round icons and also night mode switch are now moved to theme overlay. Just copy "vendor/overlay/Pixel" folder from Pixel system image and copy it with any root explorer app to the same folder on Nexus 6P. Then just restart it. There should be new option under Display settings called Device theme.

Somehow this activates blue theme, round icons and night mode on my Nexus 6P. So I guess, Android now checks device theme overlay in first priority. That's why you've got round icons on Pixel even when the flag in framework-res is set to false.

Did as you described, but nothing changed after reboot. If I search for 'theme' in the settings menu the option it appears as if it was under display settings (it's not) and takes me to the display settings but again it's not there... Any clue?
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] krisyarno:
Was this on DP3? The Pixel had the "Device Theme" setting removed in DP3
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] adrianj93:
No, it's not removed, it's still there. Sometimes setting to custom DPI (low values) helps -- i don't know why, but it just works. As you can see on the screen i'm on DP3 (see wifi and celluar signal icons, on DP2 they're are switched).

[IMG="ss"]http://i.imgur.com/uVp5Xjv.png[/IMG]
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] radaloel:
Same as you and still doesn't appear. Any other setting you have maybe? On my display settings, the double tap is missing either
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] adrianj93:
Yes, there is of course setting for Night light, which I mentioned before. Did you set chmod properly for overlay file? Maybe try to install it (I mean like sideloading any other apps by hitting "Install" button), then restart phone, clear dalvik/cache and please report your results.

[IMG="ss"]http://i.imgur.com/OWjY1EA.png[/IMG]
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] radaloel:
So, I created the overlay folder (drwxr-xr-x) under system/, inside overlay/ I created the Pixel folder (drwxr-xr-x), and inside that folder i placed the PixelThemeOverlay.apk (-rw-r-r-). Tried also to install it and now it shows under installed apps. Today I tried to set the dpi same as you (523, and it shows like that under Display settings). Neither device theme, round icons, night light, or double tap to wake show under the settings, but the system finds those options under search (and tapping leads to the Screen settings but without those options enabled). Tried to wipe cache and dalvik cache and didn't work neither. Anything under your build.prop, maybe? What's the real number for dpi u have there? And I have changed the model to Pixel XL, maybe it has to do with that? Any extra on your build.prop? Thanks, bro, the new icons piss me off
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] adrianj93:
I have set 440 in developer options, no build.prop edits. I installed Substratum with accents colors for Android O, but uninstalled it afterwards. Maybe this triggered someting?
