Allows you to install unofficial firmware, easy to install patches and patches in the form of zip files, create a backup of the firmware and user data, reset to factory settings (wipe data / factory reset), clear the cache (cache), dalwick cache (Dalvik-cache ), battery statistics (battery stats), formatting and partitioning on a memory card and much more.

ZTE program for web-firmware upgrade

Updates Chinese firmware on V955 (no one has yet confirmed its use on V880G)Link
DO NOT UPDATE while the program for online updates (there is an opinion that IMEI of the phone crashes because of it)

Problems and solutions

Problem:When connected to a PC as a "USB storage device",set ringtones flyon default melody
Decision:
• Connect as "MTP Media Device". As an alternative, it is recommended to use programs for transferring files from / to the device via Wi-fi, for exampleMyPhoneExplorer
• Add your ringtone files to a folder/ system / media / audio / ringtonesNotifications to folder/ system / media / audio / notifications(need root and file manager with root-rights)
Problem:When updating with the help of an online firmware update program for meflew IMEIphone what to do?
Decision:We take the necessary file with the program by reference and restore IMEI. The instruction is in the archive with the program.Link. Thanks to the forum usersstas30anddimas1979
Problem: The problem with the departure of the sim andcom.android.phone error(manifested on the V880G with firmware that costs when you purchase)
Decision: Flashing to any firmware from the header, incl. and official (according to reviews, the error has already been fixed).P.S. Two SIM cards "Megaphone" in the slots (as well as SIM "Megaphone" inthe firstslot) can give the same problem and it has not yet been decided. Only the replacement of one of the SIMs with the SIM of another operator

• Reportedly, members of the forum update the firmware to version 2.0 helps to solve the problem of the com.android.phone error when dumping the Megafon sim card and fixes some other problems.
пїЅ In no case do not install the firmware from Blade G, although it is a complete analogy for the hardware, but it works only with one SIM card, and when you try to restore the native firmware, you get a "brick"
пїЅFriends, to distinguish between issues, in order to facilitate familiarity and work with our smartphone, a separate topic has been created on FIRMWAREWe discuss ALL issues related to how to flash, how to flash and how to improve our firmware. I hope for your support and understanding from now onAll issues related to the firmware from this topic will be deleted. I wish you all a pleasant and fruitful cooperation;)

Mitroha,
Do you have a device?

[vmaxim]

M

The topic has been moved to the section.ZTE.

[gtr86]

mitroh,
Does the device have no touch buttons for the sake of saving? In the pictures they are not.

[dru12]

Yes, no. And this, I think its main drawback is that part of the screen deals with soft buttons.
I found for myself one more minus - the battery is built-in, not replaceable.

[mitroh]

Here's a videoFrom the Chinese (carefully, there is a Chinese advertisement: shok :), in particular it shows how the lack of touch buttons and the release of the screen from the soft buttons is resolved (rather peculiar): D
The battery seems to be yes, not real (the trend, however), but recently noticed that the body is changing to a new one much earlier than the battery starts to die, so the kmk is unprincipled

bought a wife.
Only received, picked up.
Languages ​​only English and Chinese.
Installed a kind of market, only Chinese.

The build quality is good, in the hands is good, the sound of the call and the conversation is very pleasant.

I would like to know how to flash recovery, root, google services?
How to remove Chinese software?

[stas30]

redi2003
This is all done with the presence of the root. There is a link to the Chinese manual, I think you can figure out the translator.
Unsubscribe as a screen, GPS, grain is not too large? Your device will be in 10 days only, it flies ...

try Morelocale, how much does he Russify?

[redi2003]

Morelocale 2 Russifies weakly.
The screen is good (not grainy) "juicy colors", in comparison with my Lenovo A789 is generally excellent.

Kst. almost all of the Chinese software has retired as an aninstal, with the exception of ZTE and the Chinese operator.

Again, in comparison with my Lenovo A789, the device is thinner, lighter and looks more stylish.
Pleases the presence of a diode indicating the missed events.

Somewhere I translated the firmware here with BART for him, but since I have nothing to try, I bricked her. If you want, I can do it again, and you will run through your native recovery.
Yes, there is such, I can lay out.

all at your own risk. Official firmware. Rename to Update.zip

[redi2003]

Honestly, I did not understand how to flash recovery and root. I translated the Chinese instructions with Google, but it's not clear. :(
In principle, the English interface doesn’t bother the nyskolichki (everything is clear) especially since there is Russian input.
But the lack of root and Google services is annoying.

[stas30]

redi2003
Ruth and CWM through the command stock is done ..

[ovt00]

Impressions of the phone, I will compare with Lenovo A789:
1. Appearance is definitely more interesting, the main thing is that it is thinner, which in A789 strained a little.
2. The screen is definitely better, especially like the auto-brightness mode. With any illumination it adapts so quickly that you do not even notice this, and most importantly the brightness is just for me. In the A789 it was still not bright enough. The colors are better, in general I am satisfied.
3. There is a light indication of notifications, although for me it does not matter.
4. Sound, definitely better in A789. For me, the loud external and internal speakers are so insufficient. Therefore, put Volume +, now, in principle, not bad. It is impossible to separate the volume of calls and notifications, which could have been done in A789. I did not solve this problem, but I would like to leave the sound of the call to the maximum, and make the sound of notifications less.
5. I was pleased that you can set your own ringtone for each SIM, but it was not at all pleased that the name and color of SIM cards cannot be set and the main call history does not remember what conversation SIM was in. This is really bad.
6. I liked very much that there are no buttons, the option proposed by ZTE to use a stencil cup instead of the Back, Home, Task Manager, Settings buttons is very original and convenient.

Everything else is almost the same.
I don't play games, so I can't compare here.
Route put (http://ishare.iask.sina.com.cn/f/35200767.html),The recovery (by reference in the subject), gapps (for example, from A789) also Russified a comrade on non-proliferation word, a professional translation.

[stas30]

Share the volume. Yes, the normal big rarity called, of course it is especially annoying that all are of the same color. And this cant is in the huavei and in other devices. Did Bart Translation Do?

[ovt00]

For audio control, thank you very much, this is what you need, now I love the phone even more.
Translation is not exactly bart, because There are no complaints at all.

It turned out that the audio control works correctly, only for the first sim card. The second also reduces the volume and ringing and notifications. We need the same program for dvuhsimochnikov
