Not unless you can root your phone and dump your system and boot partitions. I think if anybody made the move to B12 you're screwed, no going back until root happens. Only out is warranty swap, or send it to ZTE

Nice try I screenshotted it before I posted in case you guys would pull that. Thanks though haha

Yes, unfortunately after researching a warranty swap or new OTA is the only option.

[MatreyuC]

fusdomain can you PM me please?

 

[cyanidekid]

Please guys, no posting of explicit intents to break NDAs--I'm sure that's not cool for you and for AF...thanks!

Noobs need laymens terms. No offense. I barely know simple adb/fastboot commands. Have used several one clicks. So def dont know it all. ***edit*** sorry but i have to ask, What is breach of contract or NDA? What if you posted copy rite credits etc. Not that i want to resist or disobey or change things. Just learning

Edit cleaning up part of my off topic post

I almost have temp root but it causes strange behavior in the phone on reboot any dev that I could PM about this I've never seen this before

How does one "almost" have temp root? And what is this strange behavior?


Edit: North Carolina here

Fellow Carolinian here, Cheers!

 

[Chris5046]

Wonder if this is a new OTA update like a bug free B12 or a precursor to nougat

An NDA is a non-disclosure agreement (i.e., with ZTE) and I just don't think its a good idea to publicly post (or involve AF in) one's intent to break it.

 

[JIMMYHENDRIX]

I just signed the nda waiting for the next step software

 

[Powduh]

Wait, someone got accepted into the beta program? How did you find out you were accepted?

nice. I just posted on zte what the hell we have not heard anything on beta. Well at least they are starting it now. Hopefully no extra/new bugs that came with this next update. Coz I am barely using this shitty phone now.

Edit: North Carolina here

It's buggy it's on and off I've gotten root checkers to verify however I don't want to go into specifics here cause zte does have hotfixes for this phone
