Zte N9515 Boost Mobile.
I rooted the zte n9515 warp sync from boost mobile about a year ago, I received an OTA update one day, unrooted the phone and the phone still is stuck in a bootloop. I am able to get to stock recovery, but, my issue is I have done everything I could think of to unbrick that phone. Zte updates don't work, stock firmware doesn't work, zte open gives me a partition mbn error, all kinds of flash tools using .pit files bin files IMG files.... I haven't found a way to fix it yet... I'm not too familiar with adb commands and I've done the research.. Using android SDK I only receive an adb rejected shell command error and adb sideload continuously gives me E:2 footer[2]=0x00 footer[3]=0x00 E:signature verification failed error message... No matter what I sideload. I need help fixing this issue if anyone has a suggestion or the answer to this I would really appreciate it....

My question should've been more direct, what adb commands can I use if fastboot commands won't work?
Wow! A year Later and No takers?
I Have the same issue as of 3 Days ago My ZTE N817 Quest Assurance mobile (Virgin Mobile) received a notice to OTA from Google... It Downloaded just fine.. at the Pause of Install screen I was busy with Grankids so hit Install...
Phone Booted into Recovery Mode (Bootloop)
and all sub flders/files in /fota... /etc... and /system... are Somewhere in the Ether, as far as i can tell.
Used ALL types of recovery methods... [Except oem Firmware... {it's a UNICORN}
unavailable from every ZTE site that claims *ALL ZTE ROMS*
And they often do have over 795 roms ... Just NOT that 1 i need ( ZTE N817 Quest 4.4.4 kitkat Qualcomm MSM8610 sdk19 )
I have Rooted it successfully and unlike so many Zte n817-s mine doesn't unroot @ reboot...
ANYWHO!
Hope ya find a solution i don't want to have to pay for anymore Forensic Applications to deep Force this Crap Box... Jes Sayin
I was told i could get a Forensic App from ZTE China by ZTE china and had to register as an Advocate tester/developer for the Company, and all discovery would be proprietary to them, and them Only!... OoooK!
I'm not gonna fix the issue then have someone else profit on it if i cannot SHARE IT!

Hi All,
The short of a long story is that I just changed carriers and found out way late that I couldn't bring my Sprint phone to MetroPCS. So now I'm using the budget PCS On5 that came with the deal when we signed up.
I successfully loaded TRWP and then rooted however, I didn't know about FRP until it smacked me in the face. The root went fine but later SU prompted me to update the binary and when it did, it tripped factory reset protection and soft bricked my phone.
I want to reinstall stock OS on this phone but it appears that I have a software version that I haven't been able to find on the web yet. I found the stock rom for the MetroPCS On5 easily enough but it's Revision 0.0 and the box I have for the phone says REV0.4.
When I try to Odin Flash the REV0.0 version, I get SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 2, BINARY 1 fail. So I guess I had the latest software on my phone and the phone thinks I'm trying to roll back using the 0.0 revsion.
My question is this, does anyone here have the stock rom for G550T1 REV0.4? Help!
If nobody does, maybe I can still fix this phone. I have a TRWP backup from the sister phone (same model same revision 0.4) that I'm using right now but I can't get back into TRWP on the soft bricked phone to recover that way to use the backup file.
Next I thought I might take the backup files and turn it into a rom and just flash that. However, with the tutorials I followed I kept running into problems. When I went to unpack the files per the tutorial, my rar software said that the file was corrupt. Maybe it is. but maybe not. It was my first time attempting to make a rom. If I can't find the software I need, could any of you Android geniuses help me get this backup into a flashable format?
I have to admit I'm daunted by the FRS in 5.0 and above. Is it defeatable? How do you root newer Android versions?
Thanks!
I did the same thing to my phone. did you get yours fixed?> if so could you provide me with the rom?
I haven't found the fix yet. Hopefully somebody will come through with a helping hand!
I finally got it figured out! So here is what i did and hopefully it will work for you.
1. I Odin flashed a good BL from the ROM REV0.0 floating around on the net. So at least I could now get into download mode.
2. Then I used Kies3 > Tools > Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation. It will ask you for your model number and then when you click ok it will ask you for a SN.
3. The trick is that Samsung doesn't put the SN that you need on the phone or the box. (personally, I couldn't find it on the phone either once I got it up and running) so go here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/root-samsung-galaxy-on5-t3435457/page46 and get a SN from post #454 and use that. (don't forget to say thanks)
4. Click Ok. Let it work, and max and relax.
Mine took about 10 minutes. Hopefully this will work for you too! Thanks XDA!
Help!
What is BL from the ROM REV0.0? I need your help, I have the MetroPCS On5 and I installed Reborn ON5 I want to go back to the MetroPCS ROM because the camera and the audio do not work and I tried to install the original ROM through Odin but it does not work I get an error. What I can do? I would like to use this method but I do not have very clear files needed.
You could help me bro, I'll thank you
Greetings for all xda members,
I need your generous support regarding my Freetel Kiwami FTU152D.
It was working well on android 5.1 but i made a blunder by flashing a custom android 6.0 rom from needrom.com made for FTJ152D. I supposed that the FTU152D is having same hardware as FTJ152D , and its just and american version of the Japanese model.
But unfortunately things went wrong and i phine lost the IMEI after flashing.
Steps done to restore/Write IMEI:
1: Engineering mode:
CDS information is not available in engineering mode, tired to install CDS but failed.
2:Maui Meta Mode:
Phone reboots and doesnt enter inter meta mode.
3: SN Writing tool:
Phone simply reboots and fails to write the IMEI.
4:Rooting
almost all android and PC rooting apps(Kingo,King,Farmaroot, Root Genious etc.) failed to root the device.
please guide me how to get the IMEI working on android 6 or how can i got back to stock android 5 rom, haven't find and stock rom yet.
looking forward to experts opinion.
thanks.
Hello all,
I got a ZTE Grand X view 2 (K81) tablet from virgin Mobile in Toronto, Canada and I have the sim locked to my imei number. I would like to root this tablet so I can remove unnecessary applications. It is slow as it has <1gb and the internal memory is 8gb. So far the one click root apps I have tried (kingroot, iroot) don't work. What are other options I have for this device?
It is running Android 7.1.1 with the June 1, 2017 security patches
Thanks Karl

One-click root apps won't work. You either go the Magisk patched boot way or Custom recovery + Magisk / SuperSU zip.
What's your phone's chipset?

Honestly I don't really know what the chipset is. From CPU-X, here are some more details:
Cpu: cortex-a7 snapdragon 210, 1.1ghz x 4
Board: Helen
Hardware: qcom
Model: K81
Brand/manufacturer: zte
Bootloader: unknown

Its Qualcomm. To root, you'll need either stock boot.img or recovery.img. Do you have the firmware for your model?

I don't have that yet, I will need to search for that. My SD card is currently set as an internal, not portable, is that a problem? Is there a way to copy the current boot.img or recovery.img from a running system? I have installed magisk manager, I just need to get a hold of the boot or recovery files

Have you had any luck finding firmware for this device.... i need to frp bypass mine as i bought it online and am left in a predicament now... The keyboard doesn't allow to access any settings so getting through the FRP part is an issue... no way to downgrade the firmware either because it is running 7.1 . I also can't find custom recoveries anywhere i look online.... if you have some insight or a solution please let me know.
thanks

Not yet, I switched my SD card back to portable and tried to look around the system using adb shell without any luck. The system is locked down tight and I don't have permission to view most directories. I also contacted ZTE for the recovery img, they thought I was talking about backing up photos
I have same tablet from virgin mobile Canada. I have solid explorer, and it allows me to have root file access out of the box. I deleted bloat apks, was gtg. Not sure if it's normal behavior. I was shocked to see root file system out of the box. P.S any developers that a full system dump would help, I can probably do. After more poking around, I don't have full root access, but I do have read/write to system folder with build.prop etc

I just downloaded and installed solid explorer and the classic versions. Not luck viewing the / file system. If you can get the boot file and post a link to it that would be helpful for the magisk rooting method.
-I was able to use a google account manager app and downloaded/installed qucik_shortcut_2.4.0 this allows you access the launcher and partially use this device... I was able to set the username of the device but to no avail i am unable to use that combo to strip out the previous user's information. there's a method online to show you how to use the talkback settings to get to this point and i used my knowledge of frp bypassing samsung devices to get a little further. the developer options setting is still locked because it doesn't recognize me as the primary user. Its very frustrating. I'm able to sign into chrome with my credentials and access gmail through the browser but as far as getting my account onto this device its been days of trying and my girlfriend is just disgusted with my persistence. I don't know if or when an oreo update will be made available that this will help solve the problem, but i can't believe zte doesn't have the stock firmware anywhere online.
any of you fellow nerds out there that can help please do... I use an S3 for my daily use because well, they're so amazing to customize but the battery is crap because its so old. One thing i have found is with this zte you can at least play the "catch the cat" easter egg game, which is a complete waste of time but fun at the same time.
I'm not sure if this will help but i might as well. I'm also stuck with a zteK81 i'd REALLY love to root. I never had to go really deep into android stuff so tbh ... i've read alot ... but beside knowing i can't root it yet after a couple diff. method... im a bit confuse in all that. Up here i read ppls about looking for the Firmwire and someone else searching for the root. I have pull some pretty deep layer files in mine that may .. may not help you guys. I can't read that correctly. Here's 3 images and i have a little 7z with the actual files and 3-4 more if someone request it. Thanks.

I have a copy of the stock ROM. Who knows how to use it to develop a custom recovery for the K81?
Continued Interest
Is there any interest in rooting the ZTE K81?
Currently, I have a copy of the stock ROM and am trying to modify update.zip using Magisk to mod the boot.img file. I heed help with the signing of the modified update.zip package.
Any Suggestions?
There's no way of flashing an unsigned rom?

Sadly, no.
Difficulties
To date I have found no way to even perform the OEM Unlock on this device and none of the available rooting schemas are of any use.
If I cannot determine how the sing the modified update.zip file, I am out of ideas.
I have a copy of the ZTE stock rom for the K81 and, if there is a more experienced person willing to take a shot at this, I will happily make the rom available to them.

Hello, so it is common that ZTE's don't have any form of fastboot. So your only way is to flash via QPST with a firehose. But today is your lucky day. I was able to extract the k81's firehose from the Rogers ZTE firmware flashing tool. I have also downloaded the full QPST firmware fire and included the firehose with it. As well as a separate download in case someone already has it. I will also be ordering the device shortly. If you have newer firmware, or one designed for a variant other the rogers would be great if you can share it.

Where do you get or how do you create the rawprogram0.xml file. Presumably the directory structure information is available somewhere in the kernel or the ROM but, methods to extract the information into an XML evade me.
Hi, guys, I am really needing help.
I have bougth a chinese android tablet model tb128fu. I was worried with the safety of the tablet's ROM, I was suspecting it was a shop ROM. So, I downloaded LMSA (Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant) to flash an another ROM (even I have read in LMSA app that flashing ROM mustn't be done in chinese devices - I was very stupid) and it bricked my tablet. Tablet entered into a reboot mode loop: any chosen option was conducting to lenovo's logo and, after it, reboot menu again.
I have posted a question about it here in forum and people suggested to use ROM2box app. I tried to use it and I think it would solve my problem, but during ROM flashing in ROM2box my pc turned off (due to a residencial blackout) and now my tablet is completely died. VOL UP and DOWN and power off buttons are not working, and the screen doesn't show anything, in any situation (even during battery charging).
Please, help me!!! I think I have lost my tablet.
In PC's devices manager tablet is showed as Qualcoom HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3). Does it help anything to solve my problem?
I have also tried to flash some chinese ROM in tablet using QFIL, but all times it shows the follow error:
"Download Fail:Sahara Fail:QSaharaServer Failrocess fail"
I am thankful anyway. Thank you for your attention.
Re-flash tablets Stock ROM.
BTW:
Tablet isn't hardbricked but softbricked, IMO
With the "hardbrick" usually a part of the low-level firmware is damaged, e.g. the bootloader, the "radio firmware" or other firmware, which is necessary for the operation of the SoC (System-on-Chip). To re-install this firmware, special hardware (usually JTAG) is required, as well as expert knowledge and corresponding image files are often not publicly available (at least not officially). It's like "shooting" the BIOS/EFI on a PC.
With a "softbrick," only the operating system is damaged, e.g. the Android kernel or the system libraries. You can reflash the device.

Ah, ok. I am really sorry for my mistake. It's clear now what is the difference between hard and soft brick.
May you help me to reflash my device? I have no idea how to do that.
