[Question] Flash ROMs between variants - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

New to the forum here, I want to buy this phone but it's going to be the Chinese version (A2017). Can a different ROM be flashed? Can the bootloader be unlocked?
Thanks in advance.
(Sorry if the grammar is wrong, English is not my first language)

I have the same issue but no answer yet

Though i haven't tested it...
Flashing Rom wont be a problem.. But modem ensure your using the correct files
Also heard Chinese model don't have. Capacitive keys flashing other roms will remove the option for navigation keys... So you may have problem in navigating it...
Take a backup before trying anything...

[Q] Changing language from Chinese Traditional --> English

Hey, sorry if this has already been posted on how to change language, but i have some specific questions i would like to ask.
1) I bought the Touch HD from Taiwan and the language of it is Traditional chinese, i was actually thinking that it was an international phone and would have several languages to choose from... but apparently not.
How would i go about changing the language from chinese to english?
What would i have to do?
2) If i change the language, do i lose everything that is currently on my phone?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
You could just flash a new Rom, it will change the phone to that Rom and replace what you currently have, a lot of Roms have the same stuff just tweaked for better performance so you would not lose much.
That is assuming your not on a phone carrier plan of course, check out the different roms to suit what you want
This phone was bought outright so im assuming im not carrier locked (Kinda hard seeing as im in australia and it was bought in taiwan )
So i would have to use HardSPL?
There are two options to do it there are excellant directions for both in the ROM section I used HardSPL but the choice is yours

[Q] Flashing original ROM in my Optimus 7

Hi I was reading this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=935578
But I have some questions and I can`t reply in that thread.
So, my questions is, I'm mexican, so the model of my phone is LG E900h. Can I flash the open europe ROM? Because I seriously want to remove this horrible latin rom from my phone
I would say NOT! It is clearly specified in that topic that there are 2 types of phones. I would not risk to flash the Open Europe and then brick the phone

no es posible, acabo de intentarlo el programa marca error.
Hi, my phone doesn't turn on, but I can turn on EmergencyDownload so phone responds. When I tried flashing I have ErrNum1010, does anyone knows what does mean ?
After many tries I,m one step further, but also ErrNum4008 RAM PROGRAM, any idea ?
Check you are using correct DLL, update LG unified drivers to latest, check you are using correct firmware image, if it fails, RMA the phone. I had one with that exact problem and turned out to be faulty motherboard

i9100P TIM ita ICS - The rooting is done!!! English and Italian guide

Hey guys, my eng is not so good so I hope you can understand what I will say. I've found the way to root the Italian Version of ICS brand TIM with NFC, the GT-i9100P.
Despite the guides for the nobrand version, that method is not suitable for the 9100P TIM.
If you want the guide you only have to wait for Monday morning: I will first publish it on my blog, then if you like I will try to translate here.
I hope this can help some of you because it has been a problem for me not to have the root privileges on the stock TIM ICS.
CYA.
===== EDIT =====
The complete guide is HERE, in italian.
If you're looking for the English version please click HERE
Please consider a small donation if you like my workaround by clicking here, thankyou.
CYA
Why wait until Monday? Flash an ICS kernel which has CWM recovery, install su + superuser/supersu, flash back original kernel (which you can find on samfirmware), ????, profit.
I guess I'm missing something.

I guess you missed the part about not changing ROM, and flashing back the original kernel?
Good job.

And that will bring back NFC options in settings?
Yes, the NFC settings will be back because of the native firmware version and it's fully functional.
You miss that the NFC version is different from the one without the nfc chip: with the italian tim branded version that method is not compatible.
I've tried many times with kernels and booting in cwm to flash the SU installer but when I came back to home in ics the file was missing.
Be sure, this is the only method to flash the italian version with brand TIM; it's a bad rom to inject root because of the space.
I say to wait because the guide is timed to be published on monday morning on my blog.
If you have any idea it's wellcome, but I think you cannot make it for sure if you have not the S2 in the conditions we have in Italy with TIM carrier.
I don't have an I9100P with brand TIM to prove you wrong, but it just sounds like nonsense that existing methods do not work. Be that using the method mentioned above, or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
I haven't heard of anyone having trouble rooting that model whilst retaining NFC functionality.
I does not do anything because the ROM is fully charged with TIM and there is no space to inject the files we need for superuser. We have no KB free to store them.

Ok, with stock rom, not rooted I mean, open Titanium and see how much free space you have on system: if you have no space you cannot flash any SU or BUSYBOX.
Mobile Odin helps me moving automatically GMaps to free space.
This is the method:
- flash stock nobrand ics
- root with cwm
- launch mobile odin and flash the branded version of ics
- it will ask to delete gmaps: say yes.
- make sure you have checked the inject superuser
- flash firmware
This is the method I found to root a rom full like an egg. I think Orange put on you roms less software than tim in Italy: we have about 10 TIM programs for about 20-30 MB occupied by them. With no root permissions we cannot unistall it to make room for SU binaries.
U still think I'm wrong?
If you search in forums you will find the in Italy we have many problems with that ICS release, not with the unbranded one instead.
Ah, thanx for add LOLSPAM to tags: is it auto-tagging? :|

If what you describe is indeed the case, your solution sounds long winded and unnecessary. You should just be able to flash a CF-root kernel, boot to CWM recovery, use adb or flash a simple script to remove some junk and carry on as normal.
However, if I was in your position I would just stick to an unbranded ROM if the provider is filling it full of junk.
My english is really bad so... In Italy we have not the i9100p unbranded... I've not used any script to clear the junks because I've not found any that was suitable for my use. I also have not the capacity to modify it for my personal needs. My solution is a workaround, I admit, but it works fine and the payment for Mobile Odin Pro from Chainfire has not been a problem.
Ok, it seems not all solutions are welcome here if they seem strange solutions.
Btw, it worked for me and till I wanted the stock rom.

This could be very interesting for Italian users who want to de-brand their Gt-I9100P branded by TIM carrier (like mine).
Which firmware are you using? Do you think it is an international, multi-language version? We could use this firmware as a base for rooting and de-branding, instead of LP7 version that seems not to work in NFC devices.
Sorry for the delay but I've been very busy.
The italian rom is multilingual too as usual but my guide is not for debrand: the TIM version will remain after the root.
The problem with the TIM operator brand is that system folder is fully charged and there's no space to place the superuser apk. In this case you can succesfully use my guide, else you don't need it.
The firmware is:
BaseBand: i9100pXXLPB
Kernel: i9100pXXLPF
Build: IML74K.XXLPF
Tomorrow the guide will be posted in english, sorry for this delay too.

Firmware BL=4 ... Is there a solution for french language ?

Hi everybody,
I m thinking about selling my Milestone 2 after 3 years of devotion !
(I d like to get a more powerfull phone... Would love to find one with physical keyboard, but it's very difficult to find one with an azerty version - It's only for US market generally Droid 4, Photon Q... - so i think I will take a Nexus 4 wich have an interesting price.. I talk, I talk, but it's not the point !)
So, to sell it , I d like to put it back in original configuration.
Unfortunately after many flashes, I m today on a BL=4 Firmware (Claro Argentina)
And I d like to put it in french language with an original ROM, but I think thoses Latam ones, don't have these language (I tried somes and it's english / spanish).
Can someone confirm there is no BL=4 Rom with french language ?
If I well understood, I have no chance to downgrade form BL4...
so what are my opprtunities, to get back the phone closer its original configuration with french language ?
Thanks per Advance fior your help

What about modifying an GB SBF from france, deleting everything except the /system partition, and flashing it back?
You can do that with Moto android depacker.
That wouldn't mess up your kernel or your BL, and still have support for french language and azerty keyboard.
Just thinking out loud here.
Good luck.

If it works it's a terrific idea (didn't know it was possible...)
just one question.
I have just to keep CG39 for system.
I can replace all the rest with the French GB SBF, and finally compile my sbf to flsh it.
that's it ?
Thanks a lot

You don't need to flash anything else besides /system, just create a SBF with only that partition from the French sbf.
And yep, I think that's it.
Good luck, remember to keep an unmodified sbf to flash just in case.
using update.zip
is it necesary to create an sbf? can i use a update.zip with /system on it (and nothing else)?
btw you can pick photon q buttons one by one so i got a nice qwertz photon q

Hi , I just tried to do this operation.
There 's something I don't understand. I can't rebuild a sbf , only with CG39.smg with Moto Android Depacker.
So tried to replace the CG39.smg from Claro Latin America version (the BL=4) with the french CG39.smg. and then rebuild a new sbf...
But doesnt see to work, THe phone shows the moto logo and nothing then...
Any Idea ?
did I do something wrong ?
Thanks per advance
Sorry to up (it's not in my habit) but I really need to know if I can put my phone in original config but with french language...
Is there a way to flash a rebuilt sbf with french language knowing I m already in BL=4 (cause I flashed the phone with CLARA LATAM rom)
Thanks per advance.

I am not experienced so muchg with bricks unfortunately. Seems to be hard brick from what you said. Can you take it to AU shop? or are you outside Japan?
Try to look for info about normal (non-japanese) HTC One brick problems - they are 99% same phones - so it might help
Hi people. Nice to see some information about this phone.

What ROM did you use from the list in your first post? Can you confirm, that sd-card working.

Hi. I am now visiting relatives in Japan, and was thinking of changing my old Samsung Nexus S...
I like the quality of service here, and I guess I can buy a used keitai with much confidence.
So I was thinking about this one,as I can find it here for about 25.000 yens, but I am wondering if I will be able to use it normally abroad, with almost all the features.
For example, can you run the 4.2 rom in english ? is it convenient ? One-seg feature is exclusively for japan I guess, right ?
If you think there is another high quality phone that can be bought here, please advise :fingers-crossed:
Thanks.

hello,
I have this phone HTC J One (htll 22) and I use it everywhere in Europe witout problem. To answer your questions:
1) You can Run 4.2 Rom in English, French, German, Ukrainian and many other languages. You can swith to English easily via Menu>Language and Locale > English, to swith to other languages, you need MoreLocale app and root.
2) One-seg is Japan only. No other country has this type of waves.
3) You can wait for Samsung Galaxy s5 which is coming in 3-4 month (it will be quite expensive at first). Otherwise, i beleive HTC J One is the best phone on Japanese market right now. Maybe Nexus is worth a look.
4) Yes, you can buy a used phone from Yahoo auctions for about 25000 or you can buy from http://www.Zenmarket.jp, even if you are abroad. Also, I have a slightly used rooted and sim-unlocked spare phone (PM me if you are interested)
5) to use the phone abroad, you need S-OFF, Root, and Sim-unlock. it is a pain, but it can be done if you are familiar with ADB and other stuff.
6) Is it convenient? I did not like the BlinkFeed thing. So I installed another launcher. Otherwise, it is a great, durable, very good looking phone. I am not going to change it for now.
HTL22 Sim Card Not Detected
I have HTL22 (HTC J ONE) and I've followed this forum to unlock bootloader, install custom recovery, install custom mods, S-Off and all, but I've had problem with phone not detecting a sim card.
I've tried many custom roms, and none have worked and i even bought a sim unlock code from one of the websites, however I couldn't figure out how to put that in as the roms do not ask me to enter a code.
Any kind of help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Are you in Japan? Did you buy your phone from auctions?
if answer to both questions is yes - you might be a victim of IMEI - lock by AU. This happense when the first owner of the phone is not paying for the phone, and thus phone becomes locked.
Your phone will work ust fine outside of Japan, but in Japan IMEI number is blacklisted. Changig IMEI in Japan is legal (unlike in many countries) but there is no easy way to change it. And it is not allowed to discuss methods for changing IMEI on this board

wow.. this is news to me.. i was planning to buy HTL22 or Sc-01F from Amazon.. After reading abt IMEI lock, i am rethinking again..
how can anyone know beforehand if the phone is IMEI locked or not??
1) ask the seller what is IMEI number. If they do not give you the number, most likely it is blocked already
2) when you have the number go to
https://au-cs0.kddi.com/FtHome
http://nw-restriction.nttdocomo.co.jp/search.php
https://ct11.my.softbank.jp/WBF/icv...tmctr=(not provided)&__utmv=-&__utmk=79683988
3) input your IMEI in the search field and clik on CHECK (KAKUNIN)
4) if the result is ○ then no problem, if the result is △ There is a possiblility the phone will be blocked if the user stops paying the fees, and if the result is ×  - the phone is already blocked.
No news for 1.54 hboot? Im on Mexico and ther would be a lot of problems with duties to send and receive feom Japan.
