[Root / Recovery / ROM] ZTE N909 / N909D

I own a ZTE N909D. Because there is not much data available in the English forums I want to gather everything I found out in this one thread.
Basic specs
Screen size: 4.5"
Screen resolution: 854 x 480 pixel
Processor: Qualcomm MSM8625Q (Arm v7)
Original Android version: 4.1.2
N909: single SIM / N909D: dual SIM
Root
In the past I used vRoot, which nowadays is called iRoot - I did not find any correlation to the i-products so far There is also an apk-file available, thus, you do not need a PC for rooting. What I did not like is the Chinese superuser-app. That one can be replaced with whatever you like (don't forget to uninstall the Chinese afterwards).
Searching through the (Chinese) forums I came across a few recoveries, which are working on my D-version, although they were created for the single SIM variant:
Recoveries
CWM v6.5.0.1:
Language: Chinese
Original compilation by ???: I am sorry, I lost the original link. I only have the IMG-file (download link below).
TWRP v2.5.0.0:
Language: Chinese / English
Original compilation by Yang: http://www.gaojiquan.com/thread-9330-1-1.html. A German guy has it available for direct download: TWRP 2.5.0.0 for ZTE N909
I translated it back to English (download link below)
TWRP v2.8.4.0:
Language: Chinese / English
Original compilation by 99646P: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/3559914472. It is a dual language version, where you can change to English within the recovery. My problem was that it started straight in Chinese, which made it difficult for me to find the setting for the language switch. Direct link to the download site: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1hqGfoVy
I modified it to English / English for English start-up (download link below)
TWRP v3.0.0.0:
Language: Multilingual
Original compilation by 99646P: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4349805138. It is a multi language version, where you can change to English or some other languages within the recovery. My problem was that it started straight in Chinese, which made it difficult for me to find the setting for the language switch - no issue after that was done. Direct link to the download site: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1hrhkLOK
Kernels
Original kernel from ZTE: http://support.zte.com.cn/support/news/NewsDetail.aspx?newsId=1005182
Original ZTE kernel patched up to version 3.4.113: https://github.com/xdatravelbug/android_kernel_zte_n909d
For the dual SIM variant I did not find any updated ROM newer than Android 4.1.2 until now. The single SIM version has several custom ROMs available.
ROMs
to be added

I bricked ZTE N909. Can you help me to unbrick it? It can boot to stock recovery, but every time update fail and factory reset stuck at logo after restart? Do you know how to boot in fastboot or something else? Can you please upload stock restore files to try with it?

Not exactly sure what is failing during the update. But you can try the following:
* Install a custom recovery
* Download either the original update package from ZTE N909 Taiwan ROM or a custom ROM version
* Install that ROM
As you can boot into stock recovery, you can also try to clean/erase all partitions in there or you do it via TWRP. The usual way going to fastboot (with the phone switched off) is by pressing and holding power + volume up (or down). In fastboot mode connect your phone to USB and open a command prompt. If you only want to test the custom recovery use "fastboot boot <image.img>". If you want to directly flash the custom recovery use "fastboot flash recovery <image.img>"
Let me know if this information does not help.

I am working on it trying with Marshmallow for now, because to my knowledge that it the latest supported version for our old Qualcomm device. Pls be patient as I am not that experienced with compiling and just try it for fun

Quick update after a long time: I patched the original kernel v3.4.0 to v3.4.113. Trials are still ongoing if something screwed up doing that. Especial the bluetooth files caused some issues during the patches because ZTE uses different variable-names than Linux.

[ZE601KL CN 1.16...] Is there any way to access playstore or chaneg Cn to WW yet?

Hi guys,
Firstly I want to say that I am new here and I' m really impressed by this forum.
Now to my Situation:
My grandmother brought a Zenfone 2 Laser from tinydeal, it was delivered with CN_1.16.40.1338 and therefore has no access to goole playstore.
I googled a while and tried to apply Gapps, manually installation (googleservcie, framework and store.apk) and method via mi appshop - none of them worked properly, playstore was installed but only a white screen appeared after starting the app.
On the other site I tried to switch to a custom rom:
- Cyageno 13 has the no speaker bug fpr ZE601KL
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/zen...om-stock-deodexed-pre-rooted-1-17-40-t3387731
won't install (yet) because of Error 7 (I assume the system partition is too small...)
Before I continue with my try and error does somebody know if there has been a suitable method for region change or woking playstore on a CN discovered yet?
Thanks in advace for sharing your knowledge

[RECOVERY] M10 Generic, Lifestyle EU, Lifestyle CN TWRP Recovery Collection

Ok guys everyone has those problems like this so i decided to make a topic for this.
M10 has 3 different variants. So i decided to share correct recoveries for who have problems.
* M10 Generic.
Link : https://www.mediafire.com/?129g74h488m93gj
* M10 Lifestyle EU. (also known as Indian edition)(I dont remember cid and product id for this model. I was using for my M10 which I bought from Poland phone store. PS not suitable for EU operator devices. They are m10 generic. Not lifestyle.)
Link : https://www.mediafire.com/?e4jde0af1n9surr
* M10 Lifestyle CN. (also known as Asian edition) (Perfume, htc_pmec2tuhl, Espıcally for CID HTCCN701)
Link : http://www.mediafire.com/file/g9wb4e0eoh0qu5j/lifestyleCN.img
For people who doesnt know how to flash :
1) Unlock bootloader via HTC Dev method.
2) Connect phone via bootloader mode.
3) Open adb write following commands:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_file_name.img (Ex : fastboot flash recovery lifestyleCN.img)
4) If you want to open phone in recovery mode use menu from bootloader with your phone.
That's all voila !

Hi, Thank you for sharing this!
But this is completely in Chinese language. Do you have link for English one? I need it for M10 Lifestyle ( htc_pmec2tuhl )
EDIT::
Found how to get English.
1. You need to tap on: 设置 (Settings)
2. In settings menu, tap on last icon on top of page ( World icon )and change to English.

Thanks a lot for this post. I've been struggling for days to get recovery working on my Chinese HTC 10. After reading your post downloaded the correct recovery image, et voila!!
One question remains, after recovery is working, I can flash any rom, or also there I should be careful which one to flash? I tried Leedroid_10 V3.9.0 but it keeps rebooting into bootloader... Any idea how to fix, or what I do wrong? I have not rooted yet, and S-on.
Thanks
Robin.

Fine to have a working recovery but that's it basically for this HTC10 forum. Non of these roms here work on any lifestyle HTC10.

URGENT HELP: pre-purchase questions

hello
i read a lot bout this mobile and its price is awesome for someone like me who's ready to purchase mid-range mobile for close price...but i lost with ROMs and i'm afraid to buy it and experience hell with it.
i'd purchase it from chinese online store which provide some ROM supports google play and semi translated ROM , so for sure i must be sure to have necessary knowledge before purchasing .
1- what's with heating issue? is it from ROM or the mobile ? cause i read a lot of threads worldwide regarding this matter, and i dont know if it's reasonable or unbearable all the time heating?
2- official ROM is indian one here which should be ZUI 2.0.093_ST_16081 , so im assuming it's %100 english language which is perfect, but i'm from arabian country so i need arabic keyboard and encoding.
i believe arabic keyboard is easy to obtain once i download google keyboard and add language, but for encoding i need someone to confirm it, cause i want to browse arabic contents from apps like whatsapp or from chrome browser, i want to know if arabic would displayed correctly or it won't be supported and appears like rubbish?
ps. i dont want arabic UI for the device.
3- GPS, i read some threads saying that official ROM is the best , and some/most custom roms have some issues, is that so far ?
4- i love STOCK ANDROID experience, never interested with extra customization whether it was official OEM rom or 3rd party ROM, especially avoiding bloatware as possible, who's giving me such a STABLE experience, is it... ?
A- official indian rom?
B- official 3rd party ROMs like cosmic-os 7.1.1_20170317_1.4 , CitrusCAF-3.1-TANGERINE or mokee MK60.1-z2-170413-RELEASE ?
i know there's other roms like lineage , but i wont use something unofficial.
5- is this the correct official indian rom that if installed, would support OTA and receive nougat in may? Z2132_Q01017.1_M_ZUI_2.0.093_ST_160811
sorry for long thread , please help me ASAP if possible, shipping is taking 3-4 weeks so i must order soon before offer/stock finish.
regards

First of all, hey there, glad to know you're wondering buying this phone. Actually, it's not a mid-phone, I guess, 'cause many other (like Huawei P9 Lite, Galaxy S6 Edge) phones are weaker than the ZUK comparing their specs.
1. Not sure where you have read about heating, but I'm not having such a problem. Using stock China version Nougat ROM just with unlocked bootloader and rooted. I haven't tried any custom ROM yet, so cannot answer if it heats with custom ROM. So to conclude, the heat depends not only on the phone itself or the ROM that's installed, but it's important where you'e living too, e.g. in hot countries or so increases your phone temperature.
2. Yeah, after everything you can set up your own language using G-board, btw, encoding is fine, I'm Lithuanian and it has many letters that other countries doesn't have, for example, ąčęė and so on, and the phone displays it perfectly, just unsure how recipient sees it, but I assume it's upon recipients' phone settings.
3. It makes sense - Custom ROM aren't officially released and it's created by some developers; and this is the reason why some custom ROM may have certain problems. On the other hand, GPS /w official ROM works flawlessly.
4. About bloatware.. There's lots of it on stock ROM. Some of them you can delete, some of them you cannot. The only way for now is to unlock your bootloader (otherwise you won't be able to root your phone - and I don't know why when many other phones can be rooter without unlocking bootloader, but whatever..), then root your phone and remove manually using some kind of app (System APP Remover, etc) or just download AdAway. It's all upon you.
5. Nougat is already released, you should receive it either with China or Indian version ROM. But yeah, you must be on that kind of stock version that you've written (I upgraded from that version to Nougat)
If you've any other questions quote me, 'll give a try to answer ASAP.
