Thanks for the response. I was on stock A9 due to GPS issues and while flashing A11, following first post, I took A9 modem. Will see few more days and then move to A9 if it shows too many issues.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ccraze:
I tried enabling "Mobile data always active" option in Developer Options and looks like it has done the trick of not dropping mobile connection. I haven't seen drop since one day. Others can also try who are seeing connection drop frequently.

[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MarcelWhy:
Interesting... weirdly, I'm having sort of an opposite issue: mine randomly uses mobile data even when I'm on a very strong WiFi network. I'm still hoping to ultimately get back to A9 if I can overcome an error. Hope springs eternal!
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ccraze:
Yeah you were right, it didn't work. I saw twice mobile network was not there even though signal bars were showing full signal. Were you able to flash it back to A9?
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MarcelWhy:
I haven't had time to work on it since getting stuck on that error. I'll try some of @brian117 's suggestions over the weekend. Also looking forward to the report on his downgrade experience. So glad this community is here!
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] brian117:
Unfortunately I tried that setting the very same day I noticed the problem occurring and the connection would still drop out especially when driving around town. I've been struggling the past few days trying to find a workaround and playing around with the network modes via the emode options but nothing is working. I've tried enabling LTE Only, which works, however you cannot make calls since the VoLTE option is nonexistent on this build or not enabled. I've tried enabling LTE/WCDMA Only, and that also works, however it's performing the same exact way it is now and still drops connection.

Good news, I was able to get back to A9 from A11. Process is very simple.

1. Download bobthenormal's EDL tools from here

2. Download A2020U EDL Firmware v1.10(A9)

3. Place the files and folders from the EDL firmware v1.10(A9)

-firmware_1_10

-README.txt

-Write Firmware v1.10 to A.ps1

-Write Firmware v1.10 to B.ps1

into the "Firmware_Package_Restore" folder within the EDL Tool directory.

4. Make sure USB Debugging is turned on and plug your phone in and reboot to EDL mode. There's a couple ways of doing it, but I was never lucky with getting it with the volume key combos. So I used UnjustifiedDev's version of EDL Tools to boot me into EDL Mode automatically and then I switched back to bobthenormal's EDL Tools to continue the steps.

5. Once in EDL Mode, RIGHT-CLICK on the "Load Programmer.ps1" file from the EDL Tools folder and click "Open with PowerShell".

6. It'll have you hit Enter a few times and once it finds your phone connected, close out of that window and then go into the "Firmware_Package_Restore" folder and RIGHT-CLICK the "Write Firmware v1.10 to A.ps1" and click on Run with PowerShell. It'll take a minute or two to fully flash it. After it completes, close the window and go back into the same folder and do the same thing for "Write Firmware v1.10 to B.ps1" and wait for it to complete.

7. Go back to the EDL Tools directory and open folder "Reset (from EDL)" and RIGHT-CLICK "reset-immediate.ps1" and follow the prompts. Wait for your phone to reboot. Your phone should still show the A11 bootloader message but let it continue. It'll then show the ZTE logo and reboot itself and then ask you to do a factory reset. Do the factory reset and your phone will reboot one more time and load up like normal.

8. Congrats you're back on Stock A9 U. Disable auto updates like usual etc.

Not the best write-up so let me know if you have any questions.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MarcelWhy:
Thanks SO much! I'll try that this weekend and report back.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ccraze:
Yeah I noticed that as well now, this setting is not helping. I am thinking of trying a cron kind of app which will flap airplane mode frequently and see how it goes. Probably last try before going back to A9.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] brian117:
That's a good idea. Might take an effect on battery life after a while. Let me know how it goes for you.

I think the vendor.img file might have something to do with it too as it holds drivers for our specific device and the A11 vendor image might only have drivers compatible with the G variant. Just brainstorming here. I wonder if we can get UnjustifiedDev to pop in and share his thoughts on what a solution could be.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MarcelWhy:
Your write-up was spot on, and I was able to complete the process as described without any significant issues. VoLTE is back. Bizarrely, both the compass and ambient light sensor are now entirely non-functional. It's basically as though they don't exist: in Maps there's no radar sweep thing to indicate direction and when on a call, the screen doesn't turn off when putting the phone to your face. I'm utterly flummoxed! Shall I assume that your sensors are working properly? On A10 and A11, the compass worked intermittently but the ambient light sensor was rock solid. Not sure where to go from here; might just allow an OTA update to get back to where I started 😬 At any rate, really appreciate all your efforts!

[edited to add photo]
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ccraze:
I have seen sensors issue once while flashing to A9 last year. I noticed that when I flashed first to Partition B and then A, I saw the issue of sensors not working. If I flash B later then it was working. You can give this a try and see whether all sensors work for you.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MarcelWhy:
I'll give that a shot, thanks!

edit: actually, I did A and then B the first time around 🤔 maybe I'll do just B again anyway
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] brian117:
Very odd I have NO issues with any sensors with my first flash from EDL. Go ahead and reflash to both A and B again maybe using a different USB cable. I just tested my sensors after your reply and I have no issues with either. Let me know your results!
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ccraze:
I am not able to get any secret code except *#06# for IMEI to wotk on A11. Were you able to get through this to change emode settings? I tried multiple dialers but all of them does not show any output for secret codes.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] brian117:
These were the dialer codes that worked for me on A11 G:

To get into emode:

*#*#983#*#*

Enter this on the next screen to get into Diag Mode:

*983*0#

Set to:

LTE/TSCDMA/GSM/WCDMA

But as stated before none of the settings fixed the problem I was having with intermittent cell drops. You can try your luck.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MarcelWhy:
haven't had time to mess around on the computer, so out of curiosity i decided to go ahead and try an OTA update. going from 1.10 to 1.11 didn't change anything, but with 1.13 all the sensors came back. The compass is very erratic; sometimes it's okay but usually it's way off. Calibration tends not to help and even if it does, that doesn't last long. Might go ahead and reflash 1.10 next weekend; someone mentioned that 1.13 was when the GPS problems started. Cheers!
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ccraze:
Thanks for the info. Yeah it doesn't help, tried everything. Connection still drops randomly. Also tried Tasker for Airplane mode automatic toggle every 15 min. It kind of works but you never know you might be in call when timer triggers. We have to make sure that profile is not enabled when you are in call, etc. Lot of monitoring, not worth it.

Regarding VoLTE, it clearly shows in Phone info page that VoLTE, Call over Wifi is not provisioned and cannot enable it as they are greyed out, Probably G version doesn't have that support.

I think best would be to back on A9 :( Too bad such a good piece of hardware is not provided right drivers.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] MarcelWhy:
a thousand times this!
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] brian117:
Yeah 1.13 was the troublemaker when it came to GPS and it's best to avoid updating to that version. I'm on 1.11 with no issues so when you have time try to reflash everything to A and B partitions and see what happens.

So I was trying to achieve root on A11 with magisk to try installing a universal VoLTE enabler Magisk module because I think the reason it's showing not provisioned is because there's no proper values set within the build.prop. But without root you cannot edit the build.prop.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ccraze:
That's a great idea. Were you able to fix build.prop? We can find that from A9 installation and fill the missing pieces.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] brian117:
I have not tried that since I was pressed for time on trying to get my phone back to A9 but that is a good idea. When I have time tomorrow I'll compare both A9 build.prop to A11 and add in the values and repack everything for someone else to test out.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ccraze:
Will wait for you to post the diff so I can try. Meanwhile let me try to root and have Magisk installed
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] brian117:
Awesome let us know your results! If you get Magisk installed try using this module or something similar:

VoLTE Enabler
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ccraze:
I tried to install Magisk and screwed up the installation. Magisk needs root which in-turn requires unlocked bootloader. EDL method of unlocking bootloader only works on A9. So with A11 G image it went in boot loop. Then finally I flashed back to A9 and did all the user data setup again. I think unless someone finds a way to get VoLTE/VoWifi back and resolve issue of dropping connection, trying A11 A2020G image is not worth the time.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lusciouslou:
Fiddled with this for hours. Literally couldn't get the EDL tool to do anything. Changed settings, restarted my phone countless times, factory reset a few times, restarted my computer a few times. Finally got it to do something. Literally no idea what I did differently to get it to finally work, the very first time if started to work put my phone into bootlooping. I'm giving up for the day. I'll try to fix it later. Any suggestions about how to proceed? Thanks.

I am unable to get the Xiaomi flash tool to do anything. It always comes back with errors.

This EDL flash tool has done literally nothing except bootloop my phone.

I put all the Full EDL files into the full folder, and it does nothing. I put the boot.img into the boot folder and it does nothing. I am so confused about what this is supposed to be doing.

I tried to unlock the bootloader, and it did nothing for a dozen attempts. All of a sudden it worked, but not my phone is bootlooping.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lusciouslou:
Yeah, I have no idea. I guess this phone is now trash. No matter how many tools, what files I download, no matter where I put those files. Nothing does anything, and the phone remains in bootloop. I have no idea what to do.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Fartastic:
Does anyone have trouble launching the XiaoMi exe?

I installed the USB driver multiple times but still throws errors... any ideas?

View attachment 5718131
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lusciouslou:
I got it to install the drivers (I think). I literally didn't do anything different. One time I opened it, it didn't give me an error. Not sure why. I can't figure out how to get the program to do anything else though.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Fartastic:
Same...I've found this process of flashing phone firmware to be quite convoluted and generally ****ed. So many half-baked tools and broken website links. It's feels like the web in late 90's and all the websites that have "solutions" don't seem to apply to this model. It doesn't even reboot in fast boot mode like a standard android. **** ZTE and this phone... I'm going to chuck it off my balcony into the lake tonight. Maybe the fish can use it.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] lusciouslou:
Mine is in bootloop. I unlocked the bootloader, and in doing so set it into bootloop. After like 10-15 hours fiddling with it, and following every tutorial I could find, I have made no progress. Multiple programs, multiple EDL files, nothing works like the tutorial says it should. I guess my phone is trash too?
[XPERIA X1 General] saeba:
I have an AT&T account through my work so I'm a bit limited in options. I currently have the AT&T 8525 (Hermes) and was planning to upgrade to the Sony X1 or X1a.

However, it seems that the Touch Pro (Fuse) will shortly be available for arround $300US via AT&T vs the X1 at $675 US from the UK or the X1a at $799 in the near future from Sony (unlocked).

I like the X1/X1a... but is it really work ~$400US extra?

Thoughts?
[XPERIA X1 General] Bxsteez:
I've owned the Touch pro under Att (NO 3G in my area) and it was great to have the xperia just seems to be on a whole other level. The keyboard on the touch pro is magnificient and i truly hate the xperia keyboard. Everything else about the xperia is just perfect. I paid like 920 for mine with a 16GB card and if they said it would cost 300 bucks more i would've still bought it.

I believe u can get the fuze right now from att's website. So i guess the choice is yours. I would say get the xperia. No doubt about it
[XPERIA X1 General] saeba:
I ran your response by my wife... afraid it didn't pass the wife test :-(! I've never paid more than $300US for a phone.... so it's really hard to justify. I wonder if the X1 will be like the Touch HD and never sold by AT&T?
[XPERIA X1 General] Nightrage:
Its possible, maybe wait ill january and if theres no xperia announcement then go with the touch pro. Also places like expansys and other handset sellers offer discounts on the xperia if you buy a att contract through them

I just upgraded from the 8525 too and no matter which one you pick its gonna be soo much better. =)
[XPERIA X1 General] puerrican85:
I agree with Bxsteez, the xperia is on a whole other level. If you want a phone capable of being your phone, pda, and music/video player then the x1 is your choice. But if money is an issue then the Touch Pro makes as an awesome choice as well, especially with the phone price of AT&T brand compared to the x1 being almost a $600 difference its very hard to justify getting the x1 over the fuze now.
[XPERIA X1 General] jvs60:
The X1a has already been announced. You can order starting today, shipping starts on the 28th. It will be $800 unlocked. check infosyncworld.com for more info. It was announced yesterday
[XPERIA X1 General] saeba:
That's another issue... The 2 US places I've seen it offered (Sony Store and J&R) are only listing the silver version. I'd really wanted the black :-(!
[XPERIA X1 General] Bxsteez:
You should read what people are saying about the blk one on howardforums. They say their paint is chipping or something like that.
[XPERIA X1 General] jackleung:
You know what, if you have to create a new contract w/ AT&T anyway, buy the Touch Pro and sell it on eBay. Then the cost to own this eye catching baby is not that much. :)
[XPERIA X1 General] Scott Whitmore:
Don't see how this deserves a poll, but I found this --> Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1i Silver + AT&T Unlimited Plan ($129.99/Month, 24 Months, Unlimited Voice & Data), #X1iSLV-ATTUNLTD - eXpansys Inc

They might make another deal for the X1a too after release, but I'm an Australian so I don't know too much about it.
[XPERIA X1 General] saeba:
They want $589US for the phone and then $129US/mo (2 year commitment) for unlimited voice and data.

I pay about $35US/month for unlimited data and $0.06US/min for voice (via my company plan), so this doesn't seem like a good deal for me. But thanks for pointing out another option.
[XPERIA X1 General] saeba:
Now that's creative :-)! Thanks for the suggestion!
[XPERIA X1 General] dinan:
Yea that's probably best. Get the Fuze on a new number from letstalk.com for free, unlock it and sell it on ebay or something to offset the price of the X1a =)

Dunno why people say the X1's keyboard is abysmal compared to the touch pro. I actually thought quite the opposite... the touch pro's keys were so small and so close together where as the X1's is nice and spaced out I don't make any errors. Plus the angled screen helps too.

Don't even get me started on that cluster of buttons they call a d-pad.
[XPERIA X1 General] technillion:
X1 is worth it...

I owned the TP (European model) and other than the 3G that I now get on U.S. ATT with the Xperia, there are other reasons I'm happy with the X1.

These all have been mentioned before but there is no GPS lag, I get 30fps video at 640x480 (record and playback) and the finger prints aren't nearly as bad.

None of these things are fixed with the ATT FUZE. The things I miss from the TP is the 5 row keyboard and the excellerometer (G-sensor). For me, the other X1 advantages outweigh those two things though.
[XPERIA X1 General] ganglion5:
This thread is very helpful since I'm also seriously considering these 2 devices. I'm leaning toward the xperia, but I'm concerned about a few things.

1) Exactly how bad is the xperia keyboard? Every review says it's horrible compared to the Fuze. I had a chance to play around with the fuze keyboard only. It felt OK but my experience is limited with any type of keyboards, but would like to use more on my next phone, so this is important for me. Is it just a matter of getting used to on the xperia keyboard, or is it just unusable, as some reviews had indicated.

2) Next question is what is it that the xperia has over the fuze? Other than 3.5 jack and panels (which some people don't even like), is there anything that the xperia has over the fuze hands down? Does the 0.2 cm screen make it worth it? It seems like, on the other hand, the fuze has some important hardware advantage, including the g-sensor.

3) Build-wise, is xperia that much better? The fuze seems to be fairly solid, but I haven't had a chance to touch the xperia, so can't compare.

4) Is there any gps lag on the xperia similar to that experienced by fuze users?

The bottom line is $500 difference is a lot (hopefully, the difference won't be as much once it's more mainstream). I'm just trying to figure out if it's worth the money, and for now, worth the wait.
[XPERIA X1 General] Bxsteez:
the difference between the keyboards is like apples and chicken lol.. I mean u can use the xperia keyboard but the keys are very flat and its kinda difficult to press the keys. I don't think its as bad as the HTC Wizard. I'd say its about equivalent to the TYTN II with the TYTN II being a tad better.

When you hold the xperia it just feels so much more solid everything moves smoother. I personally believe the xperia is some how drastically faster. The xperia can run tfl3d and the panels but from what i've been seeing they are trying to port the panels to htc devices. The screen on the xperia is much more sensitive and ur less likely to scratch the xperia's screen since its recessed. Lets see. I hate the xperia's tiny call and end buttons but i love the little optical pad. I hated the touch pro's surface buttons because they just felt cheap. hmmm i think that is about it

The feel of the xperia is just amazing i don't even know how to describe it. I've held a ton of full qwerty smartphones all HTC phones and this is by far the best one. How the keyboard comes out how its curved everything is just so perfect.

I experience gps lag on every device if its the first time ur running gps from a cold start. I think the xperia's has the least lag but its still pretty bad at first.

I can't really make the decision for you but i would say i'd pay an extra 500 dollars on top of what i paid for this phone and i paid 920 dollars for it with a 16GB card. I don't think i even want to switch to a different phone. I've never said that when i bought a phone and i've had the wizard, tytn, tytn II, touch pro, and a bunch of other smartphones like the s710, qtek 8310(don't know what this in htc lingo), mpx 200, and mpx220

Hope this helps
[XPERIA X1 General] Keland44:
thanks for that i'm a fellow wizard user also this is my current device and it's a toss up between the x1 and the touch pro the touch pro (fuze) seems to be the more economical choice given the pricing but i just like the overall of the x1 but the price for one of those things is outrageous a person on boygeniusreport made a good point it should be no reason why cell phones cost more then laptops either the phones should be cheaper or the voice and data plans should be cheaper
[XPERIA X1 General] Bxsteez:
I dunno about that. The smaller ur laptop gets the more expensive it gets. Once u step away from the average user things get expensive. A regular 15.4 inch laptop will cost u nothing but if u get an ultraportable they start getting pretty expensive and extremely weak in power, with the exception of those new badass atom processors. U kinda have to keep in mind this is also a phone. Most laptops aren't walking around with internet connections all the time although u could ;-)

I truly hate the fuze. I'm quite upset they got rid of the ctrl key so i assume u can't do the shortcuts anymore but i will see. I'll be using my upgrade to get a fuze pretty soon just to have it as a back up and i'll write up a comparison to that too.
[XPERIA X1 General] dbond45:
I currently own both the FUZE and X1i...

Guess what? I'm a HUGE X1 fanboy. Love it...

But, also LOVE the FUZE. And, for me, it might actually be a better all around phone.. Sure the screen isnt as large, the pixels are smaller, and it's a tad slower, but, I love the iphone-like (capacitative) touchscreen. It rocks.

I really like not having edges on my screen. One of the best things about the iphone IMHO. This is a huge selling point on the FUZE

Both phones are similar in call quality- excellent. So far I like the FUZE keyboard a tad better... Haven't really tested all the features, but, as far as the video recording on the X1, I've found it does not live up to the hype... I get HSDPA on both, so they browse the web uber fast....

Anyways, both phones rock. I think this thread is a little biased. The FUZE really has a ton of great qualitites, and, it comes down to a matter of personal preference and needs..

Like I said, both phones are fantastic (I've owned every high end WM phone in the last 3 years) and these 2 are by far the best (have not yet tried Touch HD, but really need physical qwerty anyways)

All in all, you can't go wrong with either one..

Feel free to ask any more questions..

Dbond
[XPERIA X1 General] Bxsteez:
I must say i have to agree with the flush screen in the sense that i have fat fingers and its much easier to close apps on the fuze/touch pro. Now that i think about it i never used the stylus on the touch pro but i do find myself using it on the xperia.
[XPERIA X1 General] Keland44:
yea that's tru you aren't walkin around with a net connection all of the time

it's still a big debate for me i really like the x1

if you could get the write up up i will definately take a look

are you a heavy usage user or average? how's the battery life on the x1 that's why i more so want the x1 cuz of the battery life i've been hearing about

i'm the kind of user with4 programs running in the background type user pullin email every 2-4 emails, push email for voicemails wit youmail beejive and dashwire so wit my wizard i can usually go about 12 hours
