[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] pickypenelope:
I believe that the way that worked was by finding the Google Play app on the ZTE store (lots of Chinese charatcers there, so there was some guess work - I just search for "google play" - which was a chore with the T3 text input on the ZTE store). It was a bit of a pain. The best help I found was googling "install Google play on Chinese phone." Every time I tried to sideload the Google Apps directly they just wouldn't take.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] KuroYuusha:
I managed to install it, but I had to reflash the old stock rom on the ZTE support page (august security patch). I don't know why but even from zte maket the play store didnt' install with the newest rom. Thanks anyway ;) :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] pickypenelope:
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. I found it easier to install on the b13 (August security update), on the b14 update I had to fiddle a lot more. I just kept trying things. I think I may have been able to install the Google Play Services apk before downloading the Play Store from the ZTE store (the Play Store on the ZTE Store is only recognizable by the icon, the name of the app is in Chinese characters).

The thing I really wish I could do is unlock the bootloader, but I haven't figured that out, and I'm not well versed enough to really go that deep into it. Either way, even though it's not as cool as it could have been, I hope you enjoy your 7S; I'm finding it not a bad device at all (especially for the price)

Just asking, is there an official Oreo update for it? Or did you try to install the axon7 update on it?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] pickypenelope:
The only official updates I could find are to 7.1.1, with the January Security patch. I haven't seen or heard of an official Oreo update.

Then just as an FYI, you can trash the phone if you attempt to flash firmware from another phone on it. Lucky for you it didn't take, as mifavor seemingly has the necessary pre-checks lol.

Usually flashing firmware from a different "sub-model" (i.e. "global" firmware on a locale specific phone) will brick it. Now imagine what happens if you put firmware from an entirely different phone on it... The 7S has an SD821, the 7 has an SD820 on it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] pickypenelope:
Oh I know, or at least figured, but I also was feeling like risk-taking, so I figured it was worth the try. I was willing to brick it. Mind you, when MiFlash reported "catastrophic failure" or some such, I was a bit worried. But it all worked out. Fortune favors the bold, as they say.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
well, as long as you have an EDL package for the 7s you might be able to fix it most of the times. i don't know if there is any, but if there isn't you might want to check EDL Tool and make an EDL backup with it

The biggest risk by far is landing in DFU. If you get to that point in the Axon7, now you can use MultiDL to get to EDL, or supposedly the new EDL Tool version does it automatically. But I have no idea if this would work on the 7s. The other way around it is taking the entire phone apart and shortcircuiting a pin to get into EDL (probably not even in the same location on the 7s), or trying your luck with an EDL cable
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] pickypenelope:
Yeah, I think I'm leaving well enough along at this point. Since I'm probably using it mostly as a music player / camera, I can live with 7.1.1. I haven't had too much experience with flashing phones, and I'm feeling over my head to do any more messing with the 7S. I have an Axon 7 that is running Liquid Remix Pie, and that was fairly straight-forward. I'm glad I messed around with the 7S a bit, and overall happy with the purchase, but I'm feeling like it's time to just enjoy it as is (barring future official ZTE Chinese updates).
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] KuroYuusha:
On the rom I had before flashing b14 and b13, the phone was not great (it didn't get 4 hours of screen on time watching videos at low brightness and there were many other problems). Now on b13 it's a pretty good phone that just need a lot of settings (in mi-assistant for the most part). If there had been an europen version, it would have been much more interesting back when it was released. Now is a good purchase for this price. The battery is good (a little less than my previous mate 10 that my cat broke), the speakers are outstanding (the best that I've heard on a phone) and the audio output is really good. The display is on par with other amoleds that I've tried in these last years (s8, s7, note 4, s5) and the aspect ratio is 16:9. Now I'm using my old s5 but tomorrow I'll set the axon 7s as main phone, hoping it will be a good "partner" untill I'll find a better "front-speaker phone" at a good price with better hardware and software (using the mate 10 I've realized that I detest bottom speakers: the sound is totally unbalanced, in my opinion even rear speakers sound better especially in landscape). The latest updates are not essential for my needs right now, I simply would like a phone/system that works without problems ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Axers77:
I wonder how viable it is to install LineageOS in it. Seems like there's barely any evidence this phone even exists.

It has excellent specs.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] pickypenelope:
Besides the missing dedicated DAC, it's basically a modestly upgraded Axon 7, which, at $200, I think is still a great buy in 2019. The best places for info are AliExpress and eBay, though there is a page about it on gsmarena.

That said, I believe it's rare enough with little enough official support that there is no apparent interest/ability of the ROM developers to mess with it. I'm not even sure if it's possible to unlock the bootloader [I'm also not sure what that would entail, being just an enthusiast, and not remotely a developer]. I think it'd be great to get one of the Pie ROMs on it, but I'm not holding my breath. And the 7.1.1 that is officially updated with the January 2019 Security patch isn't all that bad.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Axers77:
According to this guide, it seems like you can unlock the bootloader just as easily as the Axon 7.

It's unfortunate this phone isn't anymore popular. Guess I'll be going with the vanilla Axon 7 for its guaranteed LineageOS support.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] pickypenelope:
Thanks for the link, I hadn't seen that. Perhaps I'll give it a try...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
No way to get the Pie ROMs on it without a ton of work. Treble implementation took a long time and there were sources for this phone

I'm not sure if you'd even be able to make any ROM for it considering that there probably are no sources (no idea though, haven't checked)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] pickypenelope:
Well, I guess it's fair to say that I don't really understand the process of how custom ROMs are created, I was more speaking in the "wouldn't it be nice if..." sense. And, like I said, I'm not holding my breath for any custom development to go into the 7S, I'm still loving my original Axon 7 running Liquid Remix Pie, and having fun with the 7S on 7.1.1

Yes I have one. bought it from ebay. It has its pluses and minuses. Encryption does not work, some notifications just don't work. Group texting does not work. The sound is fantastic, most other things are good. Update is grayed out, and probably not going to work because ZTE usa does not have this phone, its chinese.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] darrellh87:
hey there I was able to update to oreo 8 and I didnt like it primarily because chrome freezes alot. can anyone tell me is there a version where google chrome doesnt freeze? I have tried the b13 and b14 updates and had trouble installing playstore on those. The phone came to me with B11 which was nougat version and every thing was on it but it freezed alot and ran hot with certain apps. Does chrome also have problems on the original 6.01 android version?

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Shakry:
No sound dedicated chip!

How can the sound be fantastic, since there is no dedicated sound chip in the ZTE 7s (A2018)?

The sound chip is replaced with the hardware encryption chip, making this phone one of the very few on the market with the hardware encryption, AFAIR even one of the few civilian phones allowed to use by the "serious" people in China, as police members, special force members and such.

I have this one. Bought it new in China 3 years ago. But even then it was a rare thing to find.

It is Android 6 still, no updates online for some reasons. But we don't use it anymore, it is just a spare phone.

It was the phone of my wife. Still works. Never used the encryption chip, since I don't want to share anything with the Chinese encryption service. (You have to initialize the encryption chip first, it must connect to the company service and download a unique secure code signature for enabling the usage).

I messed around with my phone and caused many problems. First being I can no longer flash stock firmware to phone

However if I uncheck BL it works but my sim isn't detected by my phone.

I've been searching for fixes for two days now and I just want my phone back to its original state

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] wezzel98765:
So, I was fed up with the fact that I couldn't use 4G band 20 on my sim free purchased galaxy s8 in the UK as my signal is poor in my local area and without that, would leave me without any signal at home so I successfully managed to flash the Three software and then it was easy enough to enable it - still no VOLTE option of course!

However my GPS doesn't seem to be accurate, feeezes and when I went on holiday to the USA air wouldn't let me manually select my network, but my wife's phone that is on the standard firmware allowed manual network selection. I didn't have these issues when I was last in the USA In September

As I say, I mainly changed so I could somehow enable Band Wp 4G, however I've now managed to do that on my wife's phone without flashing new firmware, so I'd like to revert back to standard unbranded firmware.

When I changed to three software, I ran google backup, Samsung backup and used Samsung smart switch backup as well and it didn't seem to back everything up at all. I had to resign in two absolutely everything, redownload items, lost my reminders, lost my notes. Is there a way to do a complete full backup and restore so I can go to unbranded firmware?

Thank you

I have a dual sim (XT1562) Moto XPlay with an AospExtended v4.6 Rom.

I'm not satisfied with this rom because I'm facing some bugs, sometimes there's battery draining, it suddenly shut off, data connection get lost, and the camera app is slower than the original one.

I really would like to come back to a stock rom, but I don't want to loose root privileges.

So my question are:

- is there in XDA a rooted stock rom (I mean, a stock rom with root priviledge)? Please, can you tell me which is its name or where I can find it?

- which is the cooked rom that looks more like the stock one?

Thanks in advance for your advices.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyraeklis:
Hello guys, my LG G3 fell into a dreaded bootloop suddenly. It started with random reboots while it was on, then it became a bootloop whenever it turned on again and if it somehow managed to turn on, it would reboot soon after that.

I thought it could be related to the ROM I was using (LineageOS 14.1), so I did a clean flash with another ROM (RR Oreo) but it kept bootlooping. Now, after another full wipe, I'm having trouble launching download mode or TWRP unless I plug it in a computer, but it keeps bootlooping even after that.

Can anyone tell me if this is a hardware problem or just a hard brick?

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] goofball2k:
Since this phone doesn't have image stabilization, you have to hold the phone very still. Any movement (even the tapping of the phone to take the picture) will influence the picture.

What are the shutter speeds the phone is using for your photos? If they are under 1/20sec, then you will need to find a way to stabilize the phone while it is taking the photo.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] berezker:
[MENTION=3023172]goofball2k[/MENTION] is right. This phone has no form of stabilization for taking pictures so you have to hold your hands very steady because the shutter is open longer during night time

[General Questions and Answers] DerRaist:
First things first: sorry for my bad english, im german - as far as i know and... hm..

okay my very first thread in here,

here's my story:

after a well known failure caused due the stashed cpu wich tends to fail after some time (and my fault to spent all money in coffee - not to buy a new smartphone) i did some ... "hardware work" on the phone's mainboard.

Some work with a scalpel.

And i baked it:= worked perfect!

+

Resoldered the battery-pack connectors - (a second hardware problem i fixed, by the way, dont worry - didnt soldered the first time.)

I flashed a twrp 2.8x and later on the lineage 14. (cm) with twrp - meanwhile enabled fastboot - downloadmode worked but produced some softbricks. So i changed to fastboot.

Even my wifi worked perfect. Everythings fine. good.

But,.. may 3 or 4 cups of coffee later i thought, mmmm, maybe flash the twrp 3.x

Bam!:

Phone boots (with usb-cable) into fastboot:

fastbootmode started

blablabla

reset

changeport

epo/in fail nfo=40 pg 0=f8ac180

and so on.

Now that: (and i really flashed the right twrp 3.x)

If i try to get into recoverymode:

(and i didnt flashed the boot , but the recovery)

"data factory reset"

yes-> yes

fastbootmode started

blablabla

reset

changeport

epo/in fail nfo=40 pg 0=f8ac180

and so on.

in the same time: phone's absolutly not recognized by my pc. years of using - no problems, even a hour ago. No Problem. I tried ..maybe 4 versions (drivers) of the official ones and some multiusables...nothing: "unknown" device". I used every lg tool wich download its own drivers + some scripts, community tools, as far as i know. Nothing helped

The Phone itself: should (!) be empty. got a fullwipe. often. But the battery-screen (loading) is from lineageOS.

So...there's something left.

Fastboot/ADB Drivers are up-to-date, but not corresponding. (waiting for any devices) - of course waiting - no drivers - no device in the device manager... waiting is fun .. istn it?

If i would'nd press vol-up or vol-down +power button it would show the lg screen - till the battery is empty. Wich is of course a very uninspiring moment of time.

Summary:

recoverymode = fastboot

downloadmode = /

fastboot = fastboot minus fastboot (wont accept command due to missing drivers)

User = pissed off

would be nice if someone could help with .... i dont know... i really dont know..

I followed this procedure:

Download the latest Pure Nexus zip, your choice of root zip (optional), and your custom kernel (optional) onto your phone.

Boot into TWRP and make a backup (optional but HIGHLY recommended).

Wipe cache and dalvik cache (optional).

Flash Pure Nexus zip.

Reboot and profit.

Wipe cache and dalvik cache is never optional. If you didn't, reboot to recovery and do that.

If you flashed a third party kernel, dirty flash the ROM again, don't flash the kernel but do wipe cache and dalvik cache, then boot and make sure everything is ok.

I want to use this rom again, but i'm on Pie, now. Can i dirty flash over my current rom, o i have to clean flash it?

This will encrypt my phone again?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
You MUST clean flash between ROMs. Also between major versions such as 7.0 -> 7.1 or 8.0.

Encryption is all about the kernel and whether the force encrypt flag is removed. Without the forced encryption flag, a decrypted user data partition stays decrypted. However, the same kernel will not decrypt a currently encrypted user data partition. That requires using Fastboot to wipe the partition and making sure the kernel will not re-encrypt on boot.

Using Pure Nexus will not force encrypt your device.

Flashing a stock ROM definitely will.
