Thanks but this is the old version 20 "L" ! 20 "Q" is the most current.
Thanks for the work anyway.

ive checked and its not on the list of "stock roms". as someone said "they were amazed the devs missed this one."
sorry i had the other thread deleted because i was having major upload issues and the thread digressed into 3 pages of chit chat. now its up. i wonder what can be done with it. it would be great to see alot of satisfied ANZACS with perhaps a better firmware for us.

you did a great job but the firmware 20 L had serious problems including the fix of the GPS satellites if the gps was not active at startup! all resolved with the 20 q

I will try that CP.bin file sometime this week and let you know. I think the AP part is just the applications part.
Anyway, it is a good will from your side that you took this much trouble to upload the entire stock ROM for us. Appreciate that very much .
(ANZAC was my way of creating humor .Just meant AU and NZ people. Sorry if I offended anyone , especially the pacifist types).

cher. anything special about that fw? why did the 2degree's agent recommend this one, and puts it on nz fones?

Maybe because they didn't have access to v20Q firmware?
I agree with join85 though, v20Q resolved almost all of the bugs of earlier GB firmware, and at the same time, improves on overall speed.
I definitely recommend keeping this thread though. It never hurts to have backup roms everywhere.

ive install the leak and rooted now...
for dongrade can i run smartflash with 20q?!
will work?!

I think there are some kdz flashables of v20q around. most are cwm zip's though.

yes, you are right,

Custom Roms

I saw in another post that the kernel source got released, Im new to this, I was reading a post about how to create custom roms and all that, and i was wondering , we do need root access to get the system files and all that to begin working on a rom ?
What i wanted to do was basically a full stock lollipop rom, but with the Axon Software ( Camera, Dolby Digital, and a few other things ).
I dont have any background expirience creating roms, but whats leading me to this is , loving the phone but hating the toggles, and a few other software bugs ive encountered.
I have some programming knowledge, and I will make this my little side project if theres any chance for it to be done. If anyone has some background and wanna help/teach me, ill be thankfull.
This is the link I been following.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801690

I have no programming knowledge, but I'll gladly provide moral support and encouragement in this endeavor! A stock lollipop rom with ZTE features would be spectacular.

I know right ? Well, If by any chance it can be done, ill keep trying. I guess first we need root.

I would like to support this and I have some java and c++ programming experience. The only problem is that there hasn't been any word on root methods or bootloader unlock methods. Supposedly ZTE phones come bootloader unlocked already, but I haven't been able to prove this since we can't access the bootloader via fastboot :/ if we can at least get root that would be a good start.

Marshmallow on Axon Elite?
Hi all,
I came across this poat while checking for new ROMS. If this checks out I would happily go for the Elite as the price point and features are value for money. For those of you who do have it can you confirm that this is actually a Marshmallow ROM.

What's up with all of the surveys?

That's what I thought but beyond that has anyone managed to actually get the ROM and verify it to be working?
I am on the cross roads for a new phone.

I was hoping to get the Elite and be able to flash it as the phone had a lot of potential!

You need to install Google Play Services and Google Services Framework. You will need to sideload these apk's. You will need to Google them.

Please, how can i upgrade my ZTE AXON Elite to Android 6.0? Is it posisible? Thanks

Marshmallow isn't available for this device yet.

When will a custom ROM appear for the Axon Pro?I hate all these chinese stuff and i would like to have the option to reset the phone and redo all the Gmail account,without the phone asking me for the last gmail account.I bought the phone from a friend and i did a reset later that day and it kept asking me for the old account.It sayd that the phone was reset and needs the old account and i couldn't go forward because it kept connecting to google and asked for the old account.I had to use my friends account again to use the phone.I want a simple rom,without this stupid connection to google and other chinese stuff.Any idea when a rom will be available?

No clue but now that you have your friends Google account you should be able to delete it and add your own.

I'm surprised that there isn't any custom roms for this phone yet,i mean its a phone with 4gb of ram,810 Snapdragon so its pretty powerful.

Why didn't you just do a factory reset? Also, Chinese stuff?

I did a factory reset and it keeps saying that the phone was reset and i need to enter the gmail account that was previously entered.I also tried entering 15-20 time in a row ,because a lot of people say on forums that on note 4 and other phones if you enter the wrong account,the phone will reset and it will let you enter another account.On ZTE this doesn't work .

Nothing new for the AXON PRO?

[ROM][Stable]Stock Debloated 1.23.1550.3 MetroPCS

This Is My First Shot at making something for this device,so please bear with me.
This Is A Custom Stock ROM that has been debloated and slimmed down a bit to my personal liking.
ive used SuperR's Kitchen on Ubuntu to bring this to you guys.
i used Captain_Throwbacks Metro Base ROM as a starting point.
i will include my list of apps that i have removed in the second post.
i would suggest a factory reset and dalvik/ART wipe
as always,if your device explodes or stops working,i assume no responsibility for any damages or data loss.
flash at your own risk.
if anyone has any suggestions and/or input,please feel free.
im no developer,just taking a shot at this.
the goal is to remove as much bloatware as possible,whilst maintaining stability.
:highfive:
i added /data/app support as well as busybox & deodexed the ROM.
im currently uploading my first build to google drive and will share links shortly.
bear with me as i dont have the best internet connection.

Yeah it's required

Just looking at channel log I'm assuming this is still relevant. I'm on V3 and with some frustration (I don't have Wi-Fi and had to trick my 6yr old laptop to boot up) I got it running well.
As someone who has hard bricked smart phones since the xv6800, this is a first good go. Inspires me to start cooking my own roms.
Suggestion: A file browser would have made it so much smoother. No one with half a brain will ***** about es file explorer or root browser being cooked in. Fortunately bad habits inspired me to always backup original stock. Most people would've been screwed there. Dirty flash. Pdanet. Got it all up and going.
Keep up the good work. Look forward to any tweakings you find out of my league

Satisfied end user

Thank you for the input,much appreciated.also,i updated OP with a newer build that uses nova launcher as default and puts back a few apks that got cutout by mistake.

My phone got simlocked after trying this ROM. It's still locked even after restoring the nanodroid backup I made prior to flasing this ROM.
I'm not in the US sooo I am not using sprint.
Any advice?
Thanks

This ROM is based off of the original Stock MetroPCS USA variant,i didnt add anything that would potentially affect your simlock status.ive only removed stuff that was already there.
If youre not in the US and youre not using MetroPCS Variant of the phone,you shouldnt be flashing this ROM to be 100% honest.flashing incompatable firmwares across devices can sometimes lead to bricks.whats your Carrier and device?

I agree. It's very unusual.
I got this phone from a local phone shop. The owner seem to have unlocked the phone with some kind of service. I contacted my carrier who wrote down a couple of numbers from inside the phone (including the original phone number) and boom, I was able to use the phone with my number.
I have a theory about the error. Maybe you could see if that makes sense:
Maybe the phone isn't locked. But after a factory reset it keeps trying to "activate" the phone using the methods given by sprint.
There's this one step during the initial setup (right after factory resetting the phone) where it tries to register the phone, and fails. This step takes at least tem minutes and returns an error that locks up the phone.
I think the phone assumes that it's locked because it's not able to "reach" sprint servers and denies all incoming and outgoing calls/messages because of this.
If you know a way out of this please let me know.
Another user also provided me with an app that seems to be solving the issue. But it's not marshmallow compatible. Any ideas on that one as well?
Thanks a lot. And great debloating work you did there

Again,what is your Carrier?if youre using anything other than MetroPCS USA,you should not use this ROM.thats #1.#2 is if youre using sprint,you should get the RUU to return the phone to factory software,and i assume youre using sprint because our Metro devices havent gotten MM yet,and you mentioned it.
And yes,CDMA/Sprint phones will not work correctly if theyre not provisioned from the carrier correctly.so if the activation is failing,then youre not going to be able to use the device to send messages etc until its activated correctly.
Suggestion,try using nightbreeds MM ROM thats for those kinds of carriers.

Oh lesson learned. I'm from Yemen and my carrier is YemenMobile (CDMA). I don't know why but I assumed that the phone won't mind the ROM since it was kinda unlocked. SORRY.
The phone was saying Sprint when I bought it. I think I'm going to get back to factory and see if that does the trick. :-/
My extended apologies

Anyone else getting the feeling there will be no Nougat for our device?

I have a sixth sense for when a device has been all but abandoned, and I am getting that feeling now. Considering they just released a huge MIUI update without the Mix, I can't say I am particularly hopeful for the future of this phone. May be time to throw it up on swappa while it's still worth something.

The "huge MIUI update" you are referring to is MIUI 8.2. If you check your device info, you'll see that the Mix is already running MIUI 8.2. This is why you didn't see the Mix in the list of updated devices.
Now, regarding the Nougat update, considering Xiaomi built a lot of hype with the Mix, it is unlikely that Xiaomi will abandon this device.
But Xiaomi has a history of abandoning some really good devices like the MiPad. So we'll never know.

Well, no, its 8.2 global. A global rom doesn't even exist for the Mix. So I consider that a huge update.

N for the mix is already in testing according to mods on the eu and official forum. Also recently saw a listing for the mi mix EVO with a qc835, plus the CEO wants to build another mix....My gut feeling is this phone isn't going anywhere and we will have N within a quarter. Remember the s7 just got N on carriers in the US this week.

I also wonder why the phone does not sudgest an uppdate for 8.2 - does it mean that i cant uppdate my phone for future?

You won't receive any updates as long as you're on the Vendor ROM. You need to flash to the EU ROM or one of the custom ROMs in this forum using the guides provided. The guides are quite straightforward. So you'll safely boot the ROM you want providing you follow the guides EXACTLY.
I personally prefer the Xiaomi.EU ROM and I just checked the languages available on this ROM for you. Found "Norsk Bokmal" in the list of available language options. Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe this is Norwegian. I am not sure though as I don't know the language.
Cheers!

Whilst in no way invalidating the examples of times when their support wasn't great, there have also been times when Xiaomi's support for their devices has been well-above-average - someone recently posted a thread on reddit detailing one such example.
So we can't read too much into previous devices as a guide for what will happen with the Mix.
These sorts of threads appear for almost every device - it doesn't matter which device or which manufacturer, they inevitably pop up. People convince themselves they know what's going to happen and, most of the time, they're wrong.
Not to mention, Xiaomi have publicly stated the Mix will be one of their devices to be updated to Nougat.
A pretty unnecessary thing to say if they're secretly planning to ignore it.

Rooting the phone is not a necessity to flash the EU ROM.. You should flash the dm-verity and forced encryption disabler patch on TWRP if you don't plan to root. Follow the guides exactly and you'll be fine.

No, you have to unlock your bootloader only and flash TWRP using fastboot. But after installing Epic you're rooted anyway. Epic is pre rooted. For unlock procedure google unlock Xiaomi for example. Best is you start here:

Gesendet von meinem Xiaomi Mi MIX

Mine updated to 8.2.2.0 OTA just fine soon after I got things setup [it wanted or offered the update soon after being turned on - but I needed to sort stuff out first]. Abandoned ... hardly ... having run 7 on the Honor 8 and the Mate 9 ... its not THAT huge a thing to wait for it to come along through the usual process. Give it time and be patient, phones only a few months old anyways.

Flash AndroidOne ROM on other model

Hi everyone! I have XT1900-7 model (4gb and 64gb), one person here on XDA told me he turned his model into android one model flashing this firmware https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962157660013070030 with these files with script https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PCQwxaEDHZxBG_FwNWA0ozxfRumI31zd/view.
Just to be sure (no oreo update yet on my model and nothing said by lenovo), anyone else tried it? Future OTA updates?

Hey Giammarcoperiphery,
A very big thank you I searched for something like this quite a time and didn't find anything. As it's my debut on Motorola I just tried it (yeah I know all the risks but best way to learn) and yes, it worked perfect. Everything's fine now, with Oreo and Android One bootscreen.
I don't know if it gets further updates but afaik there's no reason it should not. Just typing this reply because I hope some experienced user will inform us when he sees there's activity on this Thread.
However, can you post a link where this topic was discussed/where you get the information? Thank you

Great! Is your model 1900-7 and 4/64 too? I think I'll try tomorrow :laugh:

No it's 3/32, only version in germany. But should not matter it's same software.
By the way, didn't get any notification for January-Security-Patch-update yet. I think it won't arrive because it's still reteu update channel.
However, Moto-Firmware-Team will certainly update the next Rom/OTA soon.
