Thank you guys, I appreciate the responses.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] wrongway213:
There's gonna be some ROMs coming. There are numerous people working on things and when device is stable and everything works - still a way to go yet from what I can tell - I'm sure those working on the device will post builds somewhere. TWRP isn't the reason we have no ROMs- we'll be flashing through fastboot like folks on Pixel 3/a/XL are right now. Device bringup takes time and Pixel 4 XL is a complex device with logical partitions and some never before seen features.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] dhacke:
For meantime you can use the android 10 gsi from phhusson.

I do it and at least the gapps free version is in my opinion very suitable for daily use.

[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Mike845:
Hello everyone, I as the title says, I got the Tencent version (8/128GB) with the global ROM installed. I found that this is most likely a modified version (which is weird as my unit came sealed). Everything works just nice except for the OTA updates, as it just says there are not new updates available.

My question is, is there currently any relatively safe method to update the software to the latest version? For me is a bit important to be able to have software updates, but I don't really want to run the risk of bricking my device.

I read this post about Flashing WW ROM and Changing CN fingerprint to WW https://xdaforums.com/rog-phone-2/how-to/flashing-ww-rom-changing-cn-fingerprint-t3969765 but I don't really know if this are the steps to follow as my device already has the WW ROM, and I'm not very familiar with the "fingerprint" topic.

Here are two screenshots of my device info:

I have a bit of experience installing custom ROMs and that kind of stuff on my older motorola devices, but I don't really get where do I need to look to get started with this device. Any kind of help would be very appreciated :angel: :fingers-crossed:

i did this and have successfully updated my phone to WW but im still not getting OTA updates. wonder why.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Mike845:
Thanks for your answer. So basically changing the fingerprint will allow me to get automatic OTA updates? Or will I need to manually download and place them into the storage to get recognized, or will I have to flash them?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] gilsol:
Tencent version with global ROM is not supported by Asus so no OTA updates. You can download raw ROM and follow guides to manually flash without data loss.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] abraarukuk:
how to do that, without lose data manual flash?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] tott2003:
Very simple, just download the official firmware from asus website and save in the root of internal storage. Thereafter, reboot and your phone will prompt you for software update.

[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] untoldzero:

[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Muamer84:
If your fingerprint and firmware are both WW, but it still get the error when updating, try doing the last WW-16 update and then the WW-17. I think it is a too big jump for the system. there is 2 different android versions between (9 and android 10) as you know.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casualxperian:
Z2 is pretty old and the Vibro motor gets really weak. What used to be a solid vibration now sounds like a dying droid short of "breath". Is there a way to disable the start-up/shut-down vibrating and all other system haptic feedback? I don't mean the vibration options that can be handled in app and system settings. Found this article but I am not sure which system app to use.

My bootloader is unlocked. No root.

I'm working on a flashlite diamond layout, so far this is what i've got. The signal and battery status up top should both work and the icons on the bottom scroll when you click on the far right one. Hopefully I'll be adding some more functionality to it soon. Please leave any comments or suggestions. So far only tested on the wing and you need flash lite installed.

Update: New icons, finger scrolling

Working on a way to disable the right click while its open, also soon an update with clock

[Blade General] New_USER001:
I've used the search function and found nothing for this phone. I've used Google and found nothing about rooting this exact model.

I'm looking for the technique to root this phone and I'm finding nothing. Has anybody rooted and flashed a Custom ROM/custom recovery on this device and how did you do it?
[Blade General] extrnoob:
I just got this phone as well, and I have been looking and also have found nothing for this exact variant. I have tried the usual one-click methods to no avail. Is there any development in the works? If you need a test dummy, let me know. I have several other phones to use as spares, so I am not afraid of a soft brick.
[Blade General] mrleroybrown:
Rooting ZTE Blade a7 Prime

I too can be a test dummy to root this phone. Since Visible is such a hands off company you really need your phone to be rooted to do things for yourself. Currently for some reason my ZTE BLADE A7 Prime can’t send or receive calls and their techs are telling me 3 to 5 business days... counting yesterday and today that’s a week! Ridiculous! The APN settings look off compared to my wife’s phone but you can’t edit the settings.
[Blade General] Gypsytwin67:

I've been having the exact same problem with making and receiving calls also with losing service(for the service prob. Found great n easy solution- till find permanent one-**go to airplane mode in settings turn it on for 30secs to a minute then turn airplane mode back off TAKES SIGNAL FROM 0-4 BARS EVERYTIME AND I CAN GET/MAKE CALLS INSTANTLY ETC AGAIN ?)

Data saver seems to work for resetting connection as well. I too would be interested in rooting. I kinda like the phone, but it does have its issues.
[Blade General] sasuke33:
First glance at unlocking bootloader

I just received the phone today. I was excited to see that I could get into developer mode and move the OEM Unlocking icon to allow bootloader unlock... Unfortunately, that's where the excitement ended. The typical fastboot oem unlock and fastboot flashing unlock yielded no results. I then did some research and it would seem MediaTek only implements two oem commands, and unlock is not one of them...

"The bootloader may implement additional, manufacturer-specific commands. These do not follow the usual protocol command format, and they cannot have a payload. Some manufacturers implement a lot of OEM commands, as can be seen here. MediaTek just implements two: fastboot oem p2u on and fastboot oem p2u off, these enable or disable the redirection of Linux kernel messages to the UART."

Will tinker with it some more later since I'm limited with time. Hope someone figures out how to unlock the bootloader and go from there.

[Blade General] sasuke33:
I'm not very familiar with mediatek processors in general, but that looks rather promising with some restrictions... If I have time over the weekend, I'll give that a whirl and report back whether it works or bricks my device :p

[Blade General] virx14:
I can confirm that mtk-su R20 downloaded from https://xdaforums.com/hd8-hd10/orig-development/experimental-software-root-hd-8-hd-10-t3904595 gets you root prompt. Use 32-bit binary (arm).

Edit: I can also confirm that the process in https://xdaforums.com/android/devel...atek-armv8-t3922213/post79626434#post79626434 works and root survives the reboots.
[Blade General] gedster314:
Ditto here too. Couldn't get it working at first. Turned out I miss read the instructions and put all files in the init.d folder instead od the two files in the bin folder. Then your tip on using the 32bit binary got it working. Thanks.
[Blade General] virx14:
Anybody figured out a way to change build.prop to make it stick after reboot? I am trying to enable APN editing by modifying /system/build.prop, but whenever I reboot I lose the changes.
[Blade General] wunderdrug:
/system and the root filesystem are mounted as a kind of RAM Disk. You would have to modify the actual image files (varies depending on partition scheme) and reflash to make things stick. Now, to my knowledge, doing so would require an unlocked bootloader, which currently is not possible with this phone.
[Blade General] virx14:
Looks like we can not add an APN even with root then? It's a bummer.
[Blade General] deadman96385:
They removed the fastboot command to unlock the bootloader. I found it out by comparing the similar ZTE Blade 10 and Blade 10 Prime. The Blade 10 non-prime has the unlock command and it works whereas the prime version has the command removed but funnily enough the lock command is still there but is useless. I then looked at the bootloader for the a7 prime and same thing the unlock command is removed from the bootloader. So there isn't much hope for it unless a bypass can be found.
[Blade General] sasuke33:
+1 to another confirmation that the above works. Root is available, but there are limitations. I cannot install many of the modules from magisk, but this is still a great start. Thanks for the links :good:
[Blade General] AmazerG:
I installed the magisk, however, it seems no root permission when I installed Titanium to remove stock apps, it never get root permission.
[Blade General] ultrasoul:
I was able to add new APN easily to make it work on AT&T 4G LTE data network. Are you saying any reboot of phone will make the newly added APN disappear?
[Blade General] wunderdrug:
I was also able to add and APN by just clicking on the "+" icon on the top-right corner of the APN configuration screen. When I inserted by MINT SIM Card (T-Mobile MVNO) there were not default populated APNs, but was able to get everything to work after adding an APN -- even after rebooting.

Big Tip: After entering the APN data and before leaving the data entry screen, make sure that you save the APN or it will not be persisted. Click on the "three dots" menu on the top-right corner and hit the Save menu item.

---------- Post added at 05:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:39 AM ----------

After studying the process a bit, I've come to conclude that this isn't really permanent root. All this does is the equivalent of running a script to gain temporary root after after reboot. This is done very late in the boot process, if you can even call it a part of the boot process since it's really just a user-space application auto-starting.

The modules are probably trying to be instantiated well before the root is made available through the pseudo "init.d" scripts.

It's still nice to have root access using this technique, but its usability is pretty limited. For example, I can't even get AFWall+ to start up, even if I configure it with a startup delay (hoping that it kicks in after temporary root).
[Blade General] kwiksi1ver:
So what are the odds we can make this a permanent root using a firehose file and QPST/QFIL? Similar to the Visible R2 phone?
[Blade General] wunderdrug:
I'm guessing zero since EDL is a Qualcomm feature and the A7 uses a MediaTek SoC.
[Blade General] kwiksi1ver:
I meant QPST/QFIL with the a firehose file.

I've been working on too many phones lately. :eek:
[Blade General] virx14:
Weird, it does not let me add any APNs. Says something like "APN settings not available for the current user profile".
[Blade General] ichygoo:
Hello there I'm probably going to sound like a bit of a noob because this is like my third time posting something in the formed but I stumbled across the fastboot mode on the ZTE blade A7 prime I haven't tried any of the clans yet my computer but if you go into you to reboot into recovery and then go down to reboot bootloader it takes you immediately to the fastboot mode if anyone else having far to figure that out
[Blade General] ConnCarl:
Yep, what you're seeing is SIM-specific. If you have any other (out-of-service is fine) SIMs laying around, pop one of those in. So far, AT&T and Freedompop have worked fine for me. You can then add and save a new APN. The best part is that the new APN and the "+" for adding a new APN will persist after a reboot.
[Blade General] kenkassidy@gmail.com:
Would be nice if someone can root this baby. I have noticed that my visible prime doesn't have Otg enabled so I can't connect my TV via usbc. nor can I connect a flash drive directly to the phone. I am hoping the same limitation doesn't apply to the lg stylo
[Blade General] intelg:

[Blade General] vla-511411:
Does anyone have any updates on installing Magisk v23 or doing the temp-root using 'mtk-su' on this ZTE Blade A7 Prime Visible?

Since the bootloader unlock commands have been *removed* from the ROM, I am unable to fastboot unlock the bootloader.
[Blade General] vla-511411:
Exactly !??!, the 'fastboot [flashing|oem] [unlock|unlock_critical]' commands have definitely been *removed* from the Visible version. Any updates about anyone having found a bypass for this?

My hope is if anyone who have/had the 'mtk-su' bootloader-lockless root earlier could be kind enough to give out the official stock boot_a.img, boot_b.img, system_a.img, system_b.img images and also post a dump of the 'fastboot [flashing|oem] *' commands implemented/available on these Visible devices.

Any updates on this please?

I tried the [MENTION=5582214]slickwraps[/MENTION] Slickwraps naked matte wrap https://www.slickwraps.com/naked-series-wraps-skins-for-google-pixel-4.html on my Pixel 4.

I did not opt for the full coverage rather the back only since the black aluminium rails looks cool and didn't want to cover it. The back skin was actually larger than the back of the phone and actually stretched out onto the rails. It did not look good at all.

Also since it kind stick-ed out it was catching up all the dust & also lint from the pockets and starting to peel off.

I just removed it and did not like it at all.

I should have went with some skin from Dbrand i guess. Their skins are perfectly cut out and fits just about right (have tried it on a oneplus 7 pro).

Also the skins from slickwraps are so expensive, $21 USD (~30 AUD) for couple of transparent plastic stickers is ridiculous. And even then they do not fit properly.

Frankly for the price i was expecting something better than a plastic with some adhesive.

Tried to contact them over email ( I do not know if they have any other channels) twice and have got no response.
[Google Pixel 4 Accessories] ironman3000bro:
Thanks for sharing. I was looking at it the othwr day. I guess I will get DBrand too.

Slickwraps is a garbage company, don't get **** from them. The tracking number for my order showed it never left the States but they wouldn't give me a refund or ship a new one. They blocked me on twitter and stopped replying to my emails. Hear nothing but good things about Dbrand.
