The source code of G'MIC is shared between several github repositories with public access. The code from these repositories are intended to be work-in-progress though, so we don't recommend using them to access the source code, if you just want to compile the various interfaces of the G'MIC project. Its is recommended to get the source code from the latest .tar.gz archive instead.

Here are the instructions to compile G'MIC on a fresh installation of Debian (or Ubuntu). It should not be much harder for other distros. First you need to install all the required tools and libraries:

Then, get the G'MIC source : zte mc801a firmware flash link

You are now ready to compile the G'MIC interfaces: Some users host scripts for "ZTE Terminal Software

• gmic (command-line tool),
• gmic_gimp_qt (plug-in for GIMP),
• ZArt and
• libgmic (G'MIC C++ library).

Just pick your choice: Connect the router to your PC via USB-C

and go out for a long drink (the compilation takes time).

Note that compiling issues (compiler segfault) may happen with older versions of g++ (4.8.1 and 4.8.2). If you encounter this kind of errors, you probably have to disable the support of OpenMP in G'MIC to make it work, by compiling it with:

Also, please remember that the source code in the git repository is constantly under development and may be a bit unstable, so do not hesitate to report bugs if you encounter any.

Some users host scripts for "ZTE Terminal Software Update Framework" which can help bypass provider locks. 3. Necessary Tools for Flashing

To flash raw firmware, the router must enter Qualcomm Emergency Download (EDL) Mode (9008 port). Connect the router to your PC via USB-C.

Never flash a firmware version not designed for your specific hardware version (V1.0 or V2.0). Using the wrong file can brick your device permanently. Official Firmware Sources

You will need a reliable data cable to connect the router directly to your PC.

Neither the author nor the firmware developers are responsible for damaged hardware. Prerequisites and Requirements

Extract your downloaded firmware package to a simple root folder on your drive (e.g., C:\MC801A_Firmware\ ). Step 3: Connect in Bootloader/EDL Mode

While holding the short, plug the USB cable into the router and switch on the power.

Open . If successful, you will see a new port listed under Ports (COM & LPT) as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 . 3. The Flashing Procedure

Once the software displays a "Success" or "Finished" message, unplug the USB cable.

Firmware that allows editing APN settings for any operator. 5. Troubleshooting & FAQ How do I check my current firmware version? Go to System > Device Information in the Web GUI. The update failed. What now?

Click on the "Browse" or "Load" button to select the firmware update file you downloaded earlier. The tool will validate the file and prepare it for flashing.

Once your unbranded firmware is installed, log into your new web interface. You can now take advantage of features previously hidden by your carrier:

In order to check if G'MIC works correctly on your system, you may want to execute the command and filter testing procedures. Assuming the CLI tool gmic is installed on your system, here is how to do it (on an Unix-flavored OS, adapt the instructions below for other OS):

These commands scan all G'MIC stdlib commands and G'MIC-Qt filters, and generate the images corresponding to the execution of these commands, with default parameters. Beware, this may take some time to complete!
