This is the phone I just bought for my mother:
Bought less than a week from each other. Same phone, different android versions- mine Android 4.4.4 and hers is Android 5.1.
How can I upgrade mine to 5.1? Upgrade button in the settings menu returns the server is unreachable.

Do you have a data connection on your phone (mobile data or WiFi)? Same carrier?

Yes. Everything is the same.
Both purchased at Walmart.
Both on Straight Talk.
Both used Mobile and WiFi without any problems.

There is no way to update via pc. Look up ZTE USA service number and give them a call. They will connect you with tech support to get it sorted.

Did you ever get this sorted out? I just bought the same phone and it came with 4.4.4. Called ZTE and they said there's no update for this phone yet

Ive got a zte z936l I can obtain a temp root on it with king root but I think its unstabe can't seem to flash a custom

If you want to root this phone, you need to obtain temp root and dump your entire ROM to a safe place, like a computer. Then SWAP boot and recovery. And boot the ROM via recovery buttons. This will give you full root but when youre done using it you newd to switch boot and recovery back. ZTE is known for their system lockdown and this way circumvents it. If you can obtain the 5.1.1 bootstack from your moms phone via temp root and using dd commands to dump we can ALL have 5.1. All we will need is a twrp build.

I seen this above post. Full root can be gained if instructions are followed. Can you confirm this? I may just email them and pit in the request for both of the zte lever phones here in the house.
As for following your instructions, I'd have no issue doing as you say and providing 5.1 for xda. I'd prefer some more detailed instructions and possibly a irc/messaging platform for instant communication.

After temp root, open terminal and dump everything in "dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/" with dd commands onto your sdcard or PC. (dd if=/path/to/partition of=/dump/location/filename)
From there we decompile the candidates for boot and recovery and once we know which is which, they can be swapped. Then you reboot and obtain temp root again, which this time it should give you full root. When you're done using it, just swap them back and reboot.
I'm not sure about that guy saying you can just unlock bootloader because even with twrp the system will have ro lock on it unless boot and recovery are swapped. Look at the zmax if you're curious how it works.

ZMAX?
I am installing ADB now and will follow these instructions the best I can.
Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP), they do not show my device so which one is it that I need? That link I posted about root and boot loader codes, he shows 2.8.70 and the closest device I see is the ZTE Blade.
The fella you replied to said he could get temp root with king root.

I have done it.
Now to do the rest. I am not sure what file types I should name them all though.

They are all .img files except a few. You may simply leave them blank.
As for twrp, somebody has to actually build it for our device. We currently have none.
Once the partitions are all dumped, please zip them and link me.
There should also be a fastboot mode we have access to, if we do, we can all simply flash the lollipop bootstack.

I tried >fastboot devices and it didn't show any.
I have restarted my phone once or twice after kingroot and it seems that I have perm root if I read the below right.

Oh **** yeah they're named. Zte has been known to only use /by-num/.
For fastboot to work you will need the fastboot drivers installed. Not sure if it uses the standard fastboot drivers or its own so Google might help. Try the ones in the zmax forum. You're the guy with lollipop, right?

lollipop? As in Android 5.1 on a ZTE LEVER LTE? Yes I am that guy. Right now I am doing all this on my phone which is 4.4.4 and then I will perform the same on the 5.1 ZTE LEVER LTE.

Thanks.
Two questions please:
- The LTE modem is installed on 3 partitions? Odin know this, work well?
- A Rom have also "persist.img.ext4" and "tz.mbn". Wath is this, a booloader?
At the moment installing new lte modems is a no go, its a known problem on the s4 thread and people over at darkys are working on it.
odin is samsungs software so stock packages will be ok, currently ive left modem out of the custom rom for now

The S4 have the modem.bin from 52,... MB and NON-HLOS.bin from 9,... MB.
The Mega have only NON-HLOS.bin from 49,... MB. Are different.
I flashed the Odex Rom XXUAMG3 by Odin and the 4G work well whit new modem.
thats correct it will with odin yes, but not in cwm hence why most 4g s4 roms leave out the modem
taken from the s4 lte modem thread

At the moment it is IMPOSSIBLE to flash ANY modem for I9505 through ANY Custom Recovery!

EDIT: In this case, for new Rom's we can extract the modem, make a .tar.md5 and flash by Odin. Work it, like this?
Only one way to find out lol

ME7 BOOTLOADER UNLOCK ideas, dangerous unknown feasible

I545 ME7 new version has a lock, do not accidentally brush or misuse upgrade, think about tossing a Brush Brush RECOVERY trouble. Is it possible to upgrade will not be downgraded? The answer is definitely no. Well, we want to downgrade, then understand its partition structure is a must. You know, in the end we have to upgrade to upgrade what was a result of being locked!
First, here is the I545 partition table structure:

Know the partition table, then we have to look at the official ROM ME7 what is inside, at least to know what he upgraded partition was a result of being locked.
The following is the official package ME7 opened with RAR see:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You can see, there are 12 official package file , in fact, there should be 13 years , I feel like I had a SBL1.MBN delete the file, this is an important guiding document , a blank screen will be lost . Connection brush modes anyhow. So we know that under the first bar . BOOT.IMG is the core of the boot files will be lost card first screen . CACHE This is not , MODEM.BIN and NON-HLOS.BIN this is related to the baseband , I brush off alone , it will not be locked , and this has nothing to do , RECOVERY This is a card swipe mode , recovery mode , this is not , RPM is a power management scheme related , SBL2.MBN SBL3.MBN boot record which two are related , SYSTEM this is the system , nor is , TZ is that I do not understand what to do .
**Now the question comes, if not understand, a recovery in the past may have a try. Such high risk factor . Therefore, we even try , but also row a sequence . For example SBL1.MBN, this is the first boot , when this fails if the coverage directly on a black screen , and we try not to move it to this , at least we do not move it, cover the failure modes that can feed wire brush brush the official rescue package bricks ! Of course , this is not relevant to the lock BOOTLOADER .
***535 used all know , 535 is V version, it also has BOOTLOADER lock, then unlock 535 using what methods do, in fact, is replaced by the partition method, which is aboot.mbn replace this partition. In fact, it says so much just thinking, we can be like 535 as a direct replacement overwrite this partition. If not, then only SBL2 SBL3 SBL1 these three , this three risk factor is quite high, and our principle is can not move do not move these three !
Well, just say replace overridden methods !
First of all, we have to use ADB SHELL under the DD command. Then we will obtain ADB SHELL authority , which is first ROOT.
The ROOT method ME7 forum there, I will not say more . I direct that ADB SHELL command .
We go first to Taiwan MDK the machine, put a few partition backup, is SBL1.MBN SBL2.MBN SBL3.MBN and ABOOT.MBN If you are interested , you can put all of the above partition table partition backup under , be prepared to stay with maybe someday that can use ! ~ ~
Backup method is to obtain ROOT , enter ADB SHELL command:
Code:
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/sdcard/sbl1.mbn bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 of=/sdcard/sbl2.mbn bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/sdcard/sbl3.mbn bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/aboot.mbn bs=4096
To explain, dd command to copy the partition related commands, if the meaning can be understood as if it. If there IF = path behind the partition, partition backup to put this on the path of = this, SDCARD this is the path of built-in memory card, you can back up directly to an external memory card, you have to do to change the path down.
Next, we put the backup files are copied to the four external SD card, or copied to a computer backup.
Then again, we took our locked machine, and put the MDK overwrite these partitions ME7 partition. Cover only aboot.mbn oh.
We first connect the phone to the computer, the backup out who's copied to the phone's built-in memory card.
root, I do not say this directly into the adb shell input overrides command:
Code:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/ME7_aboot.mbn bs=4096
dd if=/sdcard/aboot.mbn of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096
Note that this command following the second IF = OF = position and the position in turn, because it is not backed up, it was restored. The first DD command can not operate, I was customary to put it back down. Be prepared!
Well, I write to you, these commands is very dangerous, and can not be successful looking at you peril Oh, I only provide ideas and does not promise any consequences. Understand their own caution to decide whether to try, do not understand it not tried!
New ideas are always appreciated. Thank you for your efforts!
There are two places to discuss this ...and remember, if you ever try any of this stuff, you do so at your own risk....

[HACK][d618] Partition Table Tool for LG G2 mini

I just ported from LG L90 to LG G2 mini d618.
original post is Here
thanks a lot for @BigMajster as the creator
You need:
-LG G2 mini d618
-Custom recovery
-30mb free space on external SD card
-external SD card with backup or update.zip with system​
Warning:
- Do backup your ROM and internal SD, because this will erase the partitions /system, /cache & /data (including /data/media).
Ready? Let's get started:
-Boot phone to recovery mode
-Install PartitionTableTool_d618.zip from sdcard
-Now you have 3 options to choice:
Maximal- system partition have only 730mb so you can install only custom rom like CynogenMod
Optimal- system partition have 1,5gb so you can also install stock LG rom, but you still have more data.
Stock- this is orginal partition table

Same here, i didn't know this need a port, in my case worked perfectly only editing updater-script
Its funny to see that lg set 890mb for cache, mostly useless

in this version, I change kernel of ptt.img with d618 kernel. and I remove the phone type selection menu. in order to avoid mistakes in choosing the type of phone.
Woah cool. Ill try this tonight
please log d618

What should I change to make it work on d620?

Just edit update-script from the zip. Remove the first line.
Now I can't mount Data/Cache, could I do something to fix this? I don't really want to flash a new kdz. :/
EDIT: Okay, I've fixed it, palyed with the wiping buttons and rebooted a few times.

It kinda worked but now I'm stuck in a bootloop. I guess i'll just have to flash my rom again. How do I enter cwm? What button combinations?
for recovery is: hold power + vol up, when you see lg logo, release both keys and press it and hold again until you see a warning for deletion of data, select yes with volume keys and enter with power key, both times yes

Hi, possible to port to LG G2 D802?

Has anyone actually made a backup of the PDS partition?

This partition apparently holds the IMEI (well on the Moto G 2013 it does) but I don't even see that it exists on this phone (xt1527). I can't seem to make a backup of it but the phone works so, is it even there or have they changed how it works?
bump, same issue
seems a bunch of us have this issue.
sad there seems to be no answer anywhere..
edit:
here is what i got listing partitions.

Not up to speed on this device yet but it seems to me that if you know where the PDS partition is from a terminal you should be able to use a form like:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk??? of=pds.img
provided your current working directory has enough room in it to hold the .img file

on another phone it's mmcblk12 (i have been doing a LOT of searching on this)
i looked at the root folder on my phone and i see a shortcut to "pds"
when i open it it's empty.
i have some experience with Linux but i am no pro and it's been a while for my nix activity.
and i have almost no experience with Android.
i am good with computer stuff though. cracking, coding reversing, graphics etc.
i love modding everything i can.
i say that to give a bit of context to this..
if anyone else has any idea or leads on what i can do or where to look i am all ears.
i posted that partition command because i found it on Google
and i remember using it (ls) before trouble shooting driver issues on Linux in the past.
you guys will notice the console log i posted does not list a pds partition by-name..
is it because it's not mounted maybe ? or is it using a different name on this phone ?
i'd love to try and update to 5.1 (from 5.0..2) on my Telus XT1527 but i think it's time i make a PDS backup before i carry on any further.. so far i have installed a custom kernel and TWRP + root.
So i can't continue until i figure out a way to back that stuff up (irresponsible otherwise i think)
Based on this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138220 the OS uses /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 and it was dumped to the /tmp directory.
from here you can use dd to flash it to an sd card where you can read it to see if it has pds information. You can also use (mount -a) to mount all partitions and do another ls -l

That says Atrix though and on another posting i found it was mmcblk0p12
If you look at the log i posted earlier that number mmcblk0p3 is mapped to DDR
I have been dumping the partitions and checking them (if the file size is roughly correct)
I heard it was suppose to be about 8mb as an .img on another device.
and i have one downloaded as an image and extracted (some other guys data)
so if i find the files on my phone i think i can match them to my downloaded files.
i also got a windows tool to extract the images ready..
One last thing i said i seen a shortcut to "pds" on the filesystem of my Telus XT1527
so i take it that it's there just that i can't see it or something.
I'm basically poking around in the dark LOL
edit:
oh and i seen on other phones that pds partition can be backed up with TWRP.
The TWRP i have installed does not show it for me (i am using Squid's TWRP)
The partitions are probably associated with the OS version and not the hardware so you should probably compare your version to a similar version.
If you can find fstab file you should be able to (cat fstab) and see what the partitions are mounted as.
The partition should be mounted or else your device will not work.
I've modded fstab on linux before but i am not finding it i think on the XT1527
found a couple with "fstab" in the title and it don't say much..
just one line about mounting the sdcard.
Thanks but i am lost.. i wonder how it's created because it's prob not files in the Firmware package right ?
So then i'd have to assume the contents of PDS would be created on the phones first boot maybe.
i don't know what else to do really i am going around in circles ..i might just say screw it and give up.
too bad guys here who DO have the ability to find it can't help
100% of Moto-E users seem to carry on flashing their phones with out it
so i take it backing up the PDS is pointless ?
Just kind of dumb i see tutorials on how to do it all over but no one can claim it actually works LOL
If you google it you will see what i am saying (people tell you to you to do it becuase it's sooooo important..
then it doesn't work ahahaha
thanks for your help conductive.
edit:
Oh and guys.. i tried to do this because... Q13:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e-2015/help/faq-frequently-questions-moto-e-2015-t3044929
The stickied topic here tells us all how to do it.
..but did anyone at all bother to verify it actually works ?
Ok so i think i got it.. sort of.
I installed "Root Explorer Pro" and when i opened it this time it showed files/folders.
I then selected .zip it up and copied it manually to my sdcard then to my PC.
I have been hex viewing the contents with UltraEdit and the files contain data.
I also compared to a pds dump from an Atrix and they are some what similar.
I did see a reference in one of the root config files about the pds partition though..
I can't recall which file it was but it said something about
setting the dummy directory "pds" as persistent.
I don't know what is going on but i got the content off the phone i think.

Here is what the root of that folder looked like (folder names)

How to root Caterpillar CAT S40 Caterpillar?

Is there already a way to root the CAT S40?
yes
Important Update:
A few months after using this method, I realise that now system updates fail on my phone.
I managed to unroot the phone using supersu, but no luck, updates still fail...
If I manage to bypass this, I will update this post, but so far, no luck...

Got root yesterday, but not sure how safe method is...
Steps performed:
- I first downloaded KingRoot-4.1.0.245.apk from an untrusted source that I can't remember I still have the file though, and could share it if needed, but again, I don't really trust it - I just hope there's no malware.
md5 of the file is 8b411efbf70b8d7f70d12bb4984775e2
- Once succesfully rooted with Kingroot, I Installed "supersu me" from playstore and used it to replace kingroot with supersu
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=darkslide.com.supersumepro&hl=en
This seems to have removed all the chinese bloatware installed by KingRoot... but here again, I can't know for sure...
root access remains after reboot, titanium backup allowed me to remove some apps (like the cat ones) so it seems to work fine.
nandroid backup seemed to backup things correctly, but the recovery.img with a size of 8192 leaves me dubious....
So far I was unable to find any custom recovery for the CAT S40 though... I guess that should be the next step before starting to try to find custom roms... ^^
Any clue about safety of the method I used, custom recovery or custom roms for S40 would be welcome
edit:
When searching manually, I believe I got a better recovery dump;

Anyway, I feel more confident with a 32Mb recovery dump than with the previous 6k
I have success root my cat s40 with kingroot but i wanted change root app to SuperSU and phone had software brick :/
Is any method to reset this phone without warrianty? ( i have now on warrianty sent this phone)
Is any program from CAT for recover ROM? e.g. for samsung odin?
And where can download roms for this phone?
No clue about roms or recoveries so far... I got root with the method described, but again, not sure how safe.
How did you brick it? did you do as indicated in post or did you try manually?
someone has problems with the touch?

Do you think this (brick) also happens when i use:
-NewKingRoot (uptodate)
after that
-SuperSume Pro.

i know kingroot working good on this phone but
SuperSU bricked my Cat S40
Now i use galaxy s6 Duos.
i recommended DON'T USE SuperSume App if you want change KingRoot to SuperSU = brick s40.
if you want try you must know
s40 + brick = send for warrianty
Samsung phones + brick = samart switch or odin
Problem isn't program for change to SuperSU but SuperSU.
When i used on my galaxy s6 SuperSU root via TWRP without custom boot.img (lollipop 5.1.1)
I had too brick for using SuperSU on lollipop 5.1.1 must be boot.img MOD but i don't know what. when i used custom kernel with supersu my phone normal boot but zelf rooted = brick this is too in s40.
when you find problem 5.1.1 lollipop + supersu i think you can slove problem with SuperSU on s40.
I don't found this slove to SuperSU i used custom boot.img with my zelfcompiled kernel.
when you find slove to this problem met SuperSU + boot.img write here i want too know what is problem met boot.img in lollipop 5.1.1 met SuperSU

Thanks, then i won't root my Cat S40 for the moment. Because i don't want to keep Kingroot on it all the time.
Oh, and i send Super-sume Pro developer 'MrgatesJunior' a email with request to solve the Super-Sume pro issue on Android 5.1 CAT S40 with link to this postings. Hope he 'll find a solution / update Super Sume pro soon
We can confirm that removing King(o)Root with scripts and replacing it with SuperSU (as would be highly desirable) leads to a bricked S40.
Has anyone perhaps found a way of doing a full backup using a tool similar to SP Flash Tool for MTK devices?
That would help play around without sending the phone in on warranty claim every couple of days...
Cat s40 success SuperSU rooted
Hey i have no idea if there is a new topic for this .....i have a CAT S40 nothing will root it..it's running android 5.1 no app will root this phone and i must have tried most of them

Cat S40 android 5.1
Same problem.
I tried to do it by adb & fastboot. But I cannot make the option "OEM unlocking" visible in "Developer options". Tried to change dates as recommended in www, but nothing. I have one idea - my s40 from USA. Mb use VPN for router... But I lost few days for finding resolve. I'm tired.
I never will buy production of Caterpillar. This production not for people.
