Axon 40 Ultra

[ultramag69]

I do like the Dual 5ghz/2.4ghz WIFI feature. Connects to both bands for faster transfers...
Overall a decent phone as long as you don't want to play with the OS.
Don't like the fact that the SD card was removed and we only get 255gb for the global version.
Will probably be my last ZTE phone as there are too many compromises I have to make, updates are lousy and there is no love for the developement community, unsurprising if it is actually connected with the Chinese government, why would they want any way to break out of the bubble they've erected around their citizens...

Definitely not the phone for anyone in the development community or even if you just want root access.

256GB is fine for me.

They're all using our data, I'm beyond caring about it anymore, doesn't really matter if it's Google, Microsoft, META the CCP or our own governments. Which by the way have erected online bubbles around most people in the west for years now, we only have access to a fraction of the internet, Bing, Google and almost any search engine only give curated results. Google for example will tell you there are 1,860,000,000 results but in reality you only have access to about 300. The UN even admitted recently they were working with tech companies to filter the results, wrongthink isn't allowed.

I miss the internet from the 90/00's.

ZTE don't put out many updates do they..

All I've seen is one security update for September..

Hello ZTE friends unfortunately I haven't managed to unlock the bootloader until today.. it's possible to unlock it without question... but the question is how?!... twp is built and finished by me. i I currently have an Axon 30 Ultra but maybe also an Axon 40 Ultra if my wallet allows it ^^. Maybe I'll still be able to unlock it. I would build many custom roms and unlock other special feutures if the boot loader were unlocked. LG kevte89

I tried but I couldn't unlock it bootloader

As for your feedback, I asked ZTE's customers and concluded that there was no restriction and found a way to unlock it and worked hard to verify it.

Y'all here wondering about unlocking bootloaders and rooting this device, while I am here annoyed with how the UDC become visible under grey / semi dark colours and also lines appearing on it when under low brightness >.<

 

[skynamXIV]

anybody here have tried flashing firmware onto ZTE 40 Ultra ?

BL non-unlockable and likely won't ever be, end of story. Not MediaTek, and we're way past the age of loopholes.

I'm going to sound like a broken record, but as the old saying goes, nothing is impossible.

Of course you're gonna be jumping through A LOT of hoops, but if you have the conviction, the patience, and the brains, you have what it takes to do it


And yes I know what you're thinking: if someone does manage to pull it off, it is very likely that the end result would be worth much MUCH more than the initial goal (e.g. unlocking this phone paves way to more phones being unlocked via same method). Nothing wrong with being a hero

I mean, I'm sure there are endless stories of people who was just working on one small project whose findings resulted in a world-changing discovery.
