ZTE Axon 7s (A2018) rom/recovery development? - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

Hey Axon users and devs!
I recently received a ZTE Axon 7s(A2018) from my uncle that works for ZTE. It's a different device than what I thought, I like it! I've been looking near and far for development for this device. It's turns out to be none since the security features of this device is crazy. What I'm trying to get at is...
Would anybody be willing to develop a rom and custom recovery for this device if I supplied the files and charitability?
Have a crack at it and if you need any assistance I am there. I am crazy busy at the moment and don't have time to do so.
Thank you
Kountry

hi,
there is no development for this phone.
it was released in june 2017 only in china, there are no international/us variants available. the phone doesn't have all related LTE bands.
no one need it, no one buy it.

It works perfectly on T-Mobile and At&T LTE. I'm using it right now on band 12 on T-Mobile. I also get band 2 and 4 in some areas too. So yes it has potential and it's faster than my ZTE Axon 7 Enhanced Edition. I get 176,462 on Antutu benchmark.

nice
what is the advantage of the antutu points? nothing
however, there is no development and there will be no development

Basically, it's a Chinese only model and very rare outside China. There's no demand for it and no non Chinese ROM. I don't think there would even be sources to make it from.
Pity, because it's a better device.

[G920I] [ZEROFLTEDV] Galaxy S6 Discussion, Custom ROMS and more

I am starting this thread for the G920I model of the S6. Codenamed "Zerofltedv".
Where is G920I Available?
- Singapore
- India
- Australia
- USA
- Latin American countries
- North America
The S6 comes with regional locks for particular countries, And need to be activated with a sim specific for that region.
What is this thread about?
- For discussion.
- Online and local availability.
- Isssue discussion.
- Custom ROM development specific for this variant.
- Pricing
- Accessories
Curious to see which country with the G920I model gets updates first so I can flash that region's firmware in Odin. Australia will obviously be last as usual so I'm keen to get off this firmware ASAP and get onto one that doesn't block auto-rotate in the Gallery app

And regarding the auto rotate, it's been an issue on Samsung phones in Australia for years due to some lawsuit with Apple.

Can you advise your software details as the Australian variant hasn't had an update and I'd be interested to see the difference in software.
I wonder if the Edge has had an update as well?

No details on the changes, but it looks like Indian firmware has a build date of 31 March while everyone else is still the 7th of March.

Yes, I am on the Indian firmware, which came right out of the box, got a small update yesterday thou. If our models are G920I then we should be able to flash any firmware for the same. My question is what is up with the regional locks? will that be a problem?
IS anyone here having the flash always on problem? mine is very dimly lit if you see it in the dark. very very dim, I have to try hard to observe it. Is it a major issue? are your devices doing the same?
am on a singapore version and i dont have the flash always on problem. battery life sucks though, coming from a OPO.

It's because of the crappy samsung apps running in the background .. Knox and ****. My flash is not that lit that it is noticeable... I have to look really hard. Very hard to see.. But it is glowing.. The technology must be this way I think

Apparently it is not a normal feature and samsung has been made aware of this issue and they are working on it. Saw this today on the xda channel.

Are there any custom ROMs for the S6 that are in development?

Did someone try to unlock LTE bands?

"The Helio X10 will be the first chip, which support all bands wordwide"
I really need band 20 for EU LTE but I need to wait for my Redmi Note 2 prime. So did someone try to unlock more bands?
How do u know it is support all bands?
[I saw at enginering mode, band 20 currently not support
I think he wanted to quote it from some sites.
Many Blogs/Shops have that sentence included, they have to do some advertisement.
But as far as I know some reviews also claimed Band 20 (which is very important in Germany) is not supported.
MediaTek sad "Our new chip will be the first, which support LTE worldwide, over 47 bands".
It support all bands but Xiaomi just buy 3 bands.
We need a tutorial, how to unlock other bands.

I think we are kind of far off for a tutorial. From what I've gathered, there are very limited phones with this chip in them at this time, which means we have very little developer support.
Hopefully there are some people reading these forums more advanced than I, but from what I've gathered we wish we had some sort of diagnostic tool like the Qualcomm Diagnostic Tools, but it doesn't appear that MediaTek has something like this. (That has been released anyways)
If the chip supports all bands, then one would think that bands could be restricted at the Baseband. The Baseband gets commands from RIL and Vendor RIL Drivers (That should be located in some of the system driver folders. I have one of the RIL files pulled to my PC, but haven't had time to try and check it out. I'm guessing because its been compiled, it probably wont have anything that is readable or makes any sense to me. Would be pretty sweet if it was as simple as hexediting some flags to turn bands on.
Also, I'm sure the baseband is compiled, and protected, so I'm not sure how easy it is to pull from a rom, or from a phone for that matter... and then once its pulled, if anything will be easy to read for clues reguarding Radio Interface, or Modem Bands...
Anyone available to lend me some knowledge on the subject? I would love a little primer or some reading information to help with this quest.
Thanks!

still waiting....
^ waiting will get you (us) nowhere. Looking through those files, it seems that the file where the bands are defined is this. It's non-trivial to "enable" them, though, seems like you have to know exactly which hex codes do what to set the radio up correctly.
That's a find there...

Hmmm... Maybe Elephone can help us? This company got phones with MediaTek SoC and more LTE bands?
Sent from my Redmi Note 2 using Tapatalk
My Note2 is on the way. One of the first thing I will try will be using other phone's rils with similar soc (like the mx5 that support B20). The files are in /system/etc/firmware. If we are lucky, this will be enough. Otherwise it will be a long hacking road.
XMister:
Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you out. I have a Note 2 Prime now, and am pretty comfortable flashing / restoring. Would love to assist you any way I can!
Thanks for your input, We appreciate you!!
With band 20 I will be more than happy

First of all, make a backup of your IMEI and NVRAM.
Second, I'm attaching the firmware files of MX5. I'm not sure about which one should be replaced on Note2, but my guess would be one of the modem...img files.
So, make a backup of your firmware files, and try to replace them (you need root, and r/w mounted system, then adb from pc, or es file explorer from the phone itself can do the job), and reboot.
See if it makes any difference in available bands. Oh and don't forget to make the new files have the exact permissions as the old one had.

I figured out that it was my sim card/provider is causing the trouble. when I tried with another sim provider, it works flawlessly.
I got tired of waiting for official N release so I've decided to flash LOS instead (never liked the stock MiFavor anyhow). I have to say it fixed some issues for me and for now I'm quite happy with it. Even my LTE issue is fixed (previously my device could not locate a 4G network - tried several operators). I'd recommend you guys giving it a try, at least for those who are not afraid of experimenting with the phone

I haven't tested it yet as I have flashed the LOS just several hours ago. Still trying to get a hang on some other things before I get to the camera.
I don't think it will be much worse (or much better for that matter). It is a phone camera and I've never expected much out of them and for the occasional use it should be enough, for taking good photos I'd pick a normal digital camera any day of the weak. And besides, if you don't like the LOS camera you can always install some other camera instead.
In any case, I'll take some photos with it tomorrow and post them here for your reference.
Thanks Jedi.Tester

New owner contemplating lineage flash

Hello,
I am new to android and recently ordered a Leeco pro3 for $120 (couldn't pass it up). I have read that it does not get ota updates in the US, so I have a few questions. Is there any detriment to using an outdated android version? Can I still run apps like facebook, twitter, and Snapchat? If i flash to lineage, will I still have all of the features (camera, Snapchat and facebook apps, etc)? I know the IR blaster won't work, but this isn't an issue. I just have read that certain apps won't work and want to avoid having a phone with no camera or no social media apps such as Snapchat. Thank you all ahead of time.

If all you need is just core functionality then I would there is nothing wrong with running the stock rom. Everything will work right out of the box and all of those apps you mentioned should run just fine. Not to mention you should get really good battery life. With that said if you like some of the features that come with Nougat based roms such as better Doze and Camera API 2 support so you can install apps like google camera and give you camera a nice performance boost then go for it. I have installed all of the aftermarket roms available in this thread and IMHO Paranoid turned out to be the best. I havent had a single issue with it and it has the latest drivers taken from Oneplus 3's source code.

Thank you for the quick response. Given the fact that you have gone through using custom roms, have you been able to use snapchat on Paranoid? I have read that custom roms cause the app not to work. Also, for someone who has never used an android device, how hard is it to flash a custom rom? I am very interested in having a better camera, as I will be coming from a Lumia 950 XL (it has been deteriorating and Microsoft seems to have given up on W10M.). I know that this isn't on that level, but anything I can do to get the gap smaller is good. I am also interested in other features, but have to ask - is your battery life significantly worse running a custom rom? That would be a turn off. Thank you again.

Nope my battery life is near identical to stock and everything works on Paranoid. My favorite thing about it too is that all viarations of Google camera also work which will give you great pictures and videos if you play around with them far better than stock imho. But play with it first you will find that you can do far more on Android than you can windows mobile. The ecosystem just doesn't compare. If you want to to install a rom then follow the guides but make sure you do your homework before just jumping in. It's not difficult but a screw up could brick your phone. But there are also many guides for unbricking as well
Lineage has new Android versions first, but doesn’t have good battery life on this device, use a different ROM. If you want Snapchat, you can use a ROM that passes Safetynet or maybe Magisk’s hide feature. Oreo ROMs don’t pass safetynet, but some other Nougat ROMs do.

This is great news that the camera actually improves. Do you have snapchat issues with this rom? I just want to ensure I am able to enjoy everything android has to offer (well, as much as possible on a year old phone for now), as I have missed quite a bit of apps on W10M.

Paranoid does, so does AICP I think, both for nougut, not Oreo ones yet as SELinux is not working on Oreo. There are others that probably do also, but I haven't tried them yet.

This is tremendous. I am already turning into an android fanboy and I haven't even got the phone. It is quite impressive that the opensource community can get the latest editions stable on these devices. I just saw no need to go buy a galaxy or near $1K smartphone when the SD820 is still a powerhouse in my eyes. Do I have to root to install Paranoid, or just unlock bootloader and flash? (I may be missing a step but am going solely off of how I understood the guides)

SD821, not 820, the model with the 820, the so called elite, has nearly no development.
You have to flash a file to unlock the American model’s bootloader. (The SD821 powered x727 I think it’s called...) the Chinese model x720 has an unlocked bootloader, but is missing US carrier frequencies so it’s worse for Americans.

Can you post a link to where you bought it from so we can confirm the model and your options?

It stinks because I had an additional coupon bringing this to $120s. A dual sim (necessary for work) phone with a sd820 for that price seemed too good to be true and now it seems it is. However, if I can still get the play store ill be fine on any rom (would prefer a custom).

So ya you got the Elite. I do recall there being a couple of ROMs for that phone just poke around this forum and I believe you will find them.
you can find all the detailed specs here:

The only thing I would really be concerned about is band support and if you will get LTE or not. It looks like its a mixed bag here:

I checked the band support and that's good. Will this come with the play store though? And if not, is there a way to install it on the stock rom? I just want to make sure I have the basic apps (although I'd prefer a custom rom)

Opinions On 6&6T Upgrade.

I'm basically asking for price to performance, From what I read around the forums "Both" Devices are amazing. How is touch sensitivity between the both? I know some owners have multiple devices in the house, So could you lady's an Gents Help me out with a selection? I know the "T" model don't have the audio Jack but that don't matter since I only use Bluetooth. What would be best for ordering 3rd Party or from OP main site? Any Opinions are welcomed from both devices good or bad. :good:

Those are simple things that won't be a problem. But if you plan flashing a custom rom and you get the 6T be aware that I has the on display fp and doesn't work on any custom ROMs at the moment because OnePlus won't share the sources for it. "maybe" it will work in q.....

Thanks for sharing the info :good: What about ordering from a 3rd party like amazon? Or should I get it from OP main site? I do have prime.

Well see this question needs you to have a decision on which you want to buy...
If the 6T yes right from OnePlus website
If the 6 then you have no choice but a third party seller like Amazon etc... Because OnePlus is not selling the 6 on their website anymore since they sold out to cycle in the next gen device's for this year.... 6T will be in this situation as well in a few short months when the op7 drops...

Hi, I've got a McLaren edition directly from OnePlus, then a "normal" 6T at a good price from Amazon, in my opinion choose the best bargain you can get, both OnePlus and Amazon will give you the best support

Hi, I'm not seeing a McLaren edition in my location I'm guessing it was a limited time offer, I'm in the US I have nothing in stock for it. From what I looked at about the McLaren it is a nice Device. I was wondering if Op site offered better support for shipping, Had a package come in once that looked like it did 5rounds in the octagon. BTW I'm not knocking amazon just delivery. :silly:
