Hey, I've been searching the ZTE Blade forums for everything that has anything to do with installing Ubuntu but I found nothing. I found out that CM7 for ZTE doesn't have Loop Devices support.
I can find out how to install Debian or make a CHroot Debian img for ZTE Blade but to be able to start testing that I need a rom with Loop Devices support.
Can a dev release a CM7 (or anything else I don't mind) with Loop Devices activated, or atleast give me a few pointers on how to edit an Open-Source Rom to activate it myself?

A full tutorial on how to install Kali Linux Nethunter On SM-T330NU will be nice
Can Be Only Kali Linux too
Thanks You
I second this inquiry. Would be much easier than busting out the netbook.
3rd! just got the tab 4 330nu edition. would love to give nethunter a try

Bump!! just looking for help with starting a port
<edit>
update #1 - I have built a kali nethunter kernel for the sm-t330nu, however am currently at a standstill due to "qualcomm secure boot".
I am able to flash CF_AUTOROOT, or philz touch recovery, but not able to flash my kernel to test or even load into fastboot. So project is stalled untill i can bypass csb secure boot. </edit>

Well,at this point, Im back and forth between kali kernel flashing (still no luck due to the selinux/knox issues with samsung) and attempting to build a slim, pre-rooted rom for the same device. (same issue) So, sadly untill im able to remove these obstacles, or someone comes out with an insecure kernel for this device, im stuck.
p.s. This is also my first real attempt at any android dev..... so option #2 is far more likely lol
p.p.s for more info on my struggle check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/help/qualcomm-secure-boot-weird-issue-t3065875 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2702567 big thanks to MOONBUTT74 for all the help!
Any updates?
(Since I'm a newbie, I can't post in development forums, so I guess this goes here for now. If this is the wrong place, I apologise.)
I have an Asus Zenpad 8.0 (Z380M/P00A), which doesn't seem to have any support from the custom rom community. This is not surprising as it's a fairly uncommon device, and until recently, Asus has been less than helpful. However, the latest firmware update (supposedly; I haven't pulled the trigger yet) allows the Asus bootloader unlock utility to work on this tablet.
I've wanted to replace Asus's firmware since I bought the thing. I know that it's an uncommon device, so I'll have to do all the work myself. I'm an experienced Linux hacker, so I know how to configure and build kernels, how Linux OS images are constructed, how to read/write C, etc. However, I'm a bit of an Android newbie.
I figured the first step would be to port TeamWin recovery, so I'd have a way out if I brick the thing. But (from what I've been able to find) porting TeamWin requires a working CM or (preferably) Omni port. So it's kinda a chicken and egg problem. Do people just port roms using stock recovery and hope for the best? Or is there a (more involved, I'm sure) way of porting TeamWin that doesn't require an existing port? Or is there some other recovery (I don't know about) that's more standalone?
And then there's the issue of porting the OS itself. For thier part, Asus provides kernel souces, firmware images, and the aforementioned boot loader unlock utility. I imagine to get started, one has to compile a kernel and combine it with binary blobs extracted from the firmware image, but I'm not entirely sure.
I've looked around for porting information, but the guides I found all seem to assume you've got a working device tree from one mod that you want to graft onto another. I couldn't find much about really starting from (nearly) nothing. I'd like to say I'm surprised Google doesn't have something written up, but given how unhelpful I've found a lot of thier Android docs in the past, I'm not.
I'm mostly interested in porting AOSP to start, but I'd be willing to start somewhere else if some other ROM is easier to work with. Anyway, thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice you might have to offer.
Any progress on this? I was able to flash twrp and root my Asus Zenpad 8.0 (Z380M/P00A), but had no luck finding a compatible rom. Did you get to compile one? Thanks!
How would you unlock the bootloader for this device?
Hello,
i would like to know: are there any root or custom-roms for the ZTE BLADE A612 (android 7)?
thank you!
please i need flash for this telephon please please
I have requested a way to root this phone to the ZTE support but they haven't answered for 2 weeks so looks like I had no luck. I guess they didn't intended it to be rootable in the first place, but I'll tell you if they will answer at some point
paranoid android
edit: I'm about to compile cynagon mod rom for this phone using the source codes and the vends (they're open-source!) from zte I'll start the process sometime next week, but I'm about all set. I'll let you know once I'm done
No Fastboot
The reason this phone can't really be rooted is that it has no real fastboot mode, only meta mode so that there is also no way to unlock the bootloader
Hi guys, first post, so there's a lot i don't know.
I somehow recently bought a phone, ZTE Blade A5 2020, but the ROM is full of bloatware from the provider, which is a pain and also i would like to have a clean android version with the minimal level of extras, so I've been reading about building an AOSP based ROM for my device. Indeed i need drivers so i already found them at opensource.ztedevices.com where they gently give it. So, my question, from this point what should i do? i have no idea of the contents of that file, but i do know there is drivers folder. Is this something i can build and then flash? or do i need to build the AOSP using this drivers?
is just bothering that somebody took the time to fill the phones with garbage to make extra cash.
thanks for the help
ZTE blade A5 2019
do you think owners of a "ZTE blade A5 2019" can use that PIE KERNEL too?
I give the direct-click link the the pie-kernel for ZTE blade A5 2019 here: directlink
maybe we gotta diff them both. my blade runs kernel 4.4.147+ so the other might not apply.
I recently came across this UBports port from @erfanoabdi that allows Ubuntu Touch to be booted as a GSI A/AB image. It requires a Halium-patched kernel though, and I don't possess the programming knowledge yet to compile a kernel and the required patches from the tree, can anybody here help with this so that we can get Ubuntu Touch running nicely on our Zuk Z2 Plus?
From what I've noticed on this forum, it seems that progress on getting this device to boot Ubuntu Touch has been helmed by @S.8506.A so I'd guess that this person already has a Halium-patched kernel they could share here. Honestly, it'd be a great win for the power-user folks among us to be able to boot Ubuntu Touch, run Android apps with Anbox when required, and even run desktop apps (so-so) with Libertine containers. Not to mention the privacy capabilities that come with booting Linux.
P.S. There's already this [Treble][GSI] Ubuntu touch for Oneplus 3/3T, note the very similar hardware (esp. identical chipset) between the op3t and z2_plus
