1.0.0B03 to 1.0.0B13 (MR01b) OTA URL / details

[Guest neilmasters]

:)

I have downloaded the .up file, put it on my external SD card root and renamed the extension to .zip - so update_UK_VDF_P839V55V1.0.0B13_to_V1.0.0B03.zip is in the root.

I'm using the inbuilt updater. Settings > About Phone > Software Update > SD Card Update but I then get the message @ 'No update file could be found on your storage' (or similar).

Is there another way I could flash it?

[Guest Frankish]

Yes. Boot into stock recovery. Power on with volume button held up. And select update from SD using volume buttons. Power button to confirm. Should work.

You know, folks, adb sideload is SO much easier, and the better way to flash firmware with zero hassle.

[Guest whispers]

I now seem to be totally screwed.

After going round the houses trying to get some method to work for this update, I tried to completely remove root using SuperSU, booted into Recovery to try to flash the Stock ROM (which of course didn't work, due to some signature verification issue). I was going to give up and restore things to the way they were, so tried to reinstall Kingroot from the SD card. It seemed to install, but does not appear in the apps drawer, and I obviously don't have root now, so have no other way to restore anything (TWRP currently not installed, Titanium backup doesn't have root etc).

Any ideas as to how I can at least restore root?

[Guest Frankish]

Reboot. Reinstall king root. Does happen occasionally for some reason. I've done multiple wipes and fresh installs.

[Guest whispers]

Thanks, I'll give it another go. Tried it twice already. Though part of my problem is that I'm unable to do a fresh install!

Actually, forgot to mention something else that's happened - Play Store is no longer working, just a white screen...

[Guest whispers]

Don't know whether it's also worth mentioning that when I open the KingRoot apk to install, it's asking me if I "want to install an update to this built-in application". Is that normal?

[Guest icecosta]

You cant install the original ROM from zte? 

You dont need to flash from recovery, you can flash from the settings menu, install update from SD card, you need to put update.zip on SD card and voilà... 

And apparently Vodafone is not sending this update Thro ota anymore, so maybe the best to do at this point is flash original firmware and wait for more news on the subject.

Yeah.. I needed to format my phone a few hours ago to root again... So maybe you're going to need to format it.

And now i have SuperSU without KingRoot folders or icons.

You mean a factory reset?

[Guest neilmasters]

Yes. Boot into stock recovery. Power on with volume button held up. And select update from SD using volume buttons. Power button to confirm. Should work.

Great stuff, that worked - thanks! http://imgur.com/a/2j9bE

For those doing it that way, some points:

• File needs to be on EXTERNAL sd card
• You need to rename it to have a .zip filename
• Volume buttons are up and down, power button is select
• When it's installing, sometimes it looks like it's doing nothing - be patient!!! Takes about 10 mins in total.
• You need to manually reboot at the end

Edit:

Oh, and you will need to re-enable 'double tap to wake', which for some reason is disabled during teh update.

Good stuff!

Well, I did a factory reset, and when I booted back in, there was Kingroot. Thanks for the suggestion, I wouldn't have thought a factory reset would affect Kingroot, so you saved me!

[Guest whispers]

So has anyone noticed any difference after doing this update, any change in behaviour?

[Guest Frankish]

I'll be honest not really!

[Guest lunario]

Vodafone Portugal has the update now 41mb downloading ( don't forget to unroot)

[Guest brmourato]

I have also on vodafone portugal but my phone is stuck on boot animation after an unroot with superSU. Can someone send me a file to adb sideload that doesn't gives message signature verification failed like the one from zte site for portugues smart 6 ultra?

Thanks

[Guest lunario]

[Guest brmourato]

Stock recovery.

Please help :)

[Guest LiNe171]

Stock recovery.

Please help :)

http://www.4shared.com/file/rBh8SG90ce/recoveryrepack.html flash it with Flashify.

[Guest brmourato]

Thanks but I'm stuck on boot animation so can't flash with flashify... can I flash via apply update from sdcard in stock recovery?

[Guest LiNe171]

You should be able to apply the update from stock recovery.. I already did it without problems. Put the sdcard on PC and just put the update.zip on sdcard. Don't put all the folder (when you download it comes with a name like 2525251515151.zip, if you extract a folder with the name of "Pacote de atualização..." will appear.. Open that folder and you got the update.zip there.. Put that update.zip on sdcard then try to flash on stock recovery )

[Guest brmourato]

You were right! I was trying to install the zip file that I've downloaded... With the update.zip within that zip it installed ok and now I have a working phone again :)

Thanks, 

I'm already installing the new update :)

[Guest lunario]

ok  ota updated installed Vodafone PT rooted again with mobile go  updated supersu from store
