Vodafone Smart Chat / ZTE P752D Discussion Thread - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody in XDA!
I created this thread to talk about that phone (which nobody has )
What about rooting?
Does somebody know if bootloader is locked, or unlocked? I tried lots of methods:
DoomLord, SuperOneClick, via Official Recovery... But I couldn't do anything...
I'd like to develop a CM7,CM9 or CM10 for this device, I'm learning how to, but without root I can't get boot.img to get kernel and foundamental stuff to build recovery...
I found out that hardware is really similar (if not equal) to Sony Xperia Tipo and Miro, that have CM10 by FXP...
I discovered that you can acces recovery with volume up and power and FTM mode (IDK what it is) with volume down, home and power

Stock Rom
Hi, i have the ZTE P752D, i have rooted the phone, and i do something wrong with some app (tools apps from the market) and my phone its not starting from android logo.
I don´t have the stock rom, what can i do?
Thanks in advance, an sorry about my poor english.

My history ...
In Steps:
1.-I rooted by ADB with terminal in OSX
2.-Install SU and some utilities...
3.-Unbrand the phone: erasing bootanimation and vodafone apps,
4.-Optimizate: erasing Dalvik cache and others.
5.-And last... i installed "ROM Toolbox" and try to change the icons & theme, but all the apps shutdown and phone too... next my phone don´t start from android logo.
Thats all i do.
But now i have downloaded romdump.zip from this post in this forum, and i believe that i have to create a rom with that... am not sure..
Sorry about my english.
Can somebody help with this?
Edit 1: i tryed Fastboot or adb - but can´t detect any devices..

Kernel 2.3.6...
I found the P752D Kernel 2.3.6... Can use for something?
Have a folder named firmware, but i don´t know how to use it to repair my phone, please, somebody to helpme?

update.zip
Hi Guys, at this point i see nobody interested in help me to solve this, so.. i´ll try to make a new rom from romdump.zip if its posible, in this .zip i have the nexts folders:
-checksum.md5
-config.gz
-system.info.gz
-system.tar
In system.tar i see the root partition system..
How can i use that to create update.zip to use in system recovery?

---

Changing the update.zip content???
Hey guys,
I have the same problem.
I erased by mistake the file "filer.odex" from the system/app folder.
Deleting this file I pratically erased all the system apps, and now the vodafone bootanimation keep going in loop!
Few days ago I've started preparing all necessary for having an update.zip with Titanium Backup, just in case, but it doesn't work with the stock recovery (ASR 3e), and now i'm looking for an update.zip or some others suggested methods.
I've found this method to create a custom "update.zip" for this mobile in the thread "[TUTORIAL] Create your own UPDATE.ZIP"
so hope that someone can reply me for any suggestions!:fingers-crossed:

Now I have the solution!
For rooting your ZTE9752D , follow my steps . No risk, no computer required .
1. Download poot - debug.apk and Minister
Poot = dropbox.com/s/odgbq448eova7ag/Poot-debug.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ministro = play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kde.necessitas.ministro
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2 . Bookmark in phone settings and enable USB debugging installation of unknown apps.
3 . Minister is already installed , since it was downloaded from the Play Store. So Poot -debug install and open the application.
4 . We say (probably in Spanish , but you may ) that needs some libraries . We give OK ( accept or similar button on the left, so there are no messes . )
5. Once you have downloaded the libraries , click on "Press here to poot " .
6. Then, just click on Get Superuser , and see if you have root.
7. If you are not root , reboot your phone , because sometimes it fails.
This I have found myself, and I 've tried my ZTEP752D Fully rooting. And sorry for my Inglés , but i was using the Google Translate .

I did it... No superuser app can update Su and the only one usable in Superuser, from which we can't unroot...
Edit: I managed to install SuperSu.
How I did it? Before I installed Superuser, I updated Su from it, then (without uninstalling Superuser) install Super Su. Open it. You will be asked to update Su binaries. Touch ok, give superuser authorizations to SuperSu, leti it finish. Then, uninstall Superuser.
From SuperSu you can do a complete unroot.

I just bought one of these devices - it is the successor to the ZTE Tureis and ZTE also has the kernel sources available on their website:
http://support.zte.com.cn/support/news/NewsDetail.aspx?newsId=1002222
I already made a successful port of Cyanogenmod 10.2 to the original Tureis and I will start porting this one, as soon as it arrives.
The system.img and recovery.img are in this thread, but the boot.img is not available anymore.
I want to dig through the files to prepare myself while I wait for that thing (have to import it from the UK). Can anyone dump their boot.img and upload it here?
A quick look in the kernel files revealed, that ZTE still calls it Tureis internally. But the boardfile for the device has changed drastically. It looks like they used another display and touchscreen for the Smart Chat and some sensors have changed. But apart from that, the kernel should be recent enough to get it working with Android 4. If not with the stock kernel, maybe after some patches from the ics_chocolate branch on codeaurora.
It will take some time, but I'll do it!

---

I've successfully ported ClockworkMod 6.0.3.7 to the ZTE P752D. You can check out a tutorial how to flash it here. Now I can seriously start porting Android 4.3.1 over to the device.

---

Just a quick update:
I'm finally able to get into the Cyanogenmod bootscreen now!
I'm in the process of updating the outdated Gingerbread kernel with KGSL and msm_fb patches (and a lot more things in the process).
I can already start up Cyanogenmod, at least until the Wifi driver crashes and locks up the whole system.
And it only boots if I disable genlock (for now), which is a horrible and whacky solution.
I'm confident that I can give you an alpha version of CM10.2 in the next weeks. If you want to follow my process on github, feel free to do so:
https://github.com/schmatzler/zte-kernel-smartchat
Edit: I was able to stabilize the KGSL core of the kernel. Jellybean drivers for the ZTE N880 work without any crashes now.
The touchscreen doesn't work yet, I have to do some work there now

I made a lot of progress, but now I am stuck So far I managed to get everything working, except Wifi, Camera and Mobile Data.
I can actually connect to a 3G network and I can also make calls and send SMS. But I can't get any APN's to work
I think I narrowed it down to a point in libril where a response with the network parameters gets truncated like this:
Code:

E/RILJ ( 665): Exception processing unsol response: 1010Exception:java.lang.RuntimeException: getDataCallResponse, no ifname
I think the list in UNSOL_DATA_CALL_LIST_CHANGED is so long that it's not closed properly at the end and cannot be parsed by RILJ. That causes RILJ to believe that the network interface is null instead of rmnet0 and breaks the data connection.
My head burns, I have to get some rest, leave it for the time being and get back at it later...

Hi all,
a little late to the party, but I' ve released CM10.2 for the device. You can find it here:
