Nubia team has opened a thread concerning upgrade precautions for V1.30 on http://bbs.nubia.cn/thread-121074-1-1.html.

It asks to backup your phone on the cloud or whatever, remove root permissions, restore factory settings and just then run the upgrade.

There are ROM upgrade instructions on the same thread or on a Chinese pdf document stored at http://pan.baidu.com/s/1sjPg3hF.

Have noticed many negative feedbacks: extremely slow FOTA upgrade, bugs, crashes... Bad situation.

Hello guys. i have the Huawei honor 2 phone and I'm thinking of upgrading it to zte nubia z5s or zte nubia z5s mini but i got a few question.

How is battery life?

How much screen time do you get at maximum with brightness on lowest?

the only thing i don’t know is if to take the nubia z5s or z5s mini:

reason to take z5s mini has micro sd card which is great + its cheaper + snapdragon 600 is fast enough to run anything that's in the playstore (am i wrong about this?)

reason to take z5s regular is = better screen with less battery draining + bigger battery + faster cpu but higher price and sd card only 16gb which is more expensive

what's really important is to know how is battery life ... thanks! if you can post a screenshot or write down how much time it holds gsam monitor is a great app

also, does the zte nubia z5s mini have option to record video in slow motion?

http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=519418&st=1160#entry29647216

The second states something like:

1) after flashing, when you restart the phone, CWM will ask you (in Chinese), if you want to keep the existing recovery. Select the second item from the top. 2) or wait until I publish a modified stock, there I cut stock recovery.

The modified update.zip is on a hidden link from this post http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=519418&view=findpost&p=29716086.

Unroot might be done running VRoot again with your rooted phone connected to PC, I guess. See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2602290

[General Questions and Answers] evronetwork:
This time is a weird period,

Z5S costs about the same as Xiaomi Mi3, or as LG G2 but non of them have microsd slot

In a month or so, S5 would start selling, same as oppo find 7 and LG G Pro 2, so phones like Z5S, Mi3, G2 should get a huge price cut

..just my 2 cents(I'm waiting for this :D, I'd love a G2 with removable battery+microsd or lg g pro 2 if it's cheap enough(although its a bit big for my taste))

Hint: We will sometime in the near future Mediatek's 8 core cpu with LTE support, with even better performance :P (and lower prices too, if it turns out well)

I've got a Sony Alpha SLT-A57 so don't worry I check the data before I purchase :silly:

BigLittle architecture would be used in the new MediaTek 8 core LTE processor, much like Exynos architect so it's not just 8 cortex A7 cpu's ;)

I'm not expecting SUPER performance, I expect better battery life.. running cooler and costing less than Qualcomm

Wifi issue

Hi,

I have just received my Z5s that I've ordered in Eternal team on Aliexpress. I have received it rooted. Everything is working except...the WIFI.

First I couldn't find any WIFI and then after a factory reset, I could find some wifi but not everything. By example in my laboratory, the general WIFI of the school appears (and is working) but not the wifi of my lab...

I tried to create a hotspot with another phone, my Z5s finds the wifi, but 2 hours later I try again and the Z5s doesn't find it anymore.

Do you think it is more probably a software issue or a hadware issue ?

I have an update available in "About phone", however at the end of the download, the phone restarts in CWM recovery mode which is in Chinese :/ .

So i've just restarted my phone, I didn't dare to try anything to install the update...

Any help would be very welcome !

EDIT: I have finally created a new thread for this question -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=50887093

There is a MIUI English recovery based on CWM 6.0.3.7, it might work with any custom Nubia Z5S ROM based on Android 4.2, but not sure about stock ROMs.

Original post: http://bbs.anzhi.com/thread-8783327-1-1.html

Direct download: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1kT7HJrp

Google drive mirror http://goo.gl/El8qSh

When you start recovery install on your PC, it displays a Chinese menu like this:

Select the operation:

1. Flash recovery

2. Reboot phone into recovery

Press 1, then Enter to flash the recovery.

Next it will display something like:

waiting to properly connect your phone to the computer

please check:

1. the phone has ROOT privileges

2. whether the phone is switched on

3. whether USB debugging is enabled

4. whether the ADB driver is installed correctly

If confirmed, press the Enter key to continue

Press Enter again, when ready.

The window will get closed in 10 sec.

You can then reboot your phone into recovery and you get an English menu.

Have installed it, it works, see attached pics.

The post with the Recovery Chinese menu translation is at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50207948&postcount=8

Later edit: ADB driver for Nubia Z5S has been attached to this post.

Later, later edit: Rooted users could flash MIUI English recovery (or other compatible images) using Flashify.

Extract recovery.img from the Anzhi forum or download and extract it from the splitted archive hereby attached "recovery MIUI CWM 6.0.3.7.part1.rar" and "recovery MIUI CWM 6.0.3.7.part2.rar".

Copy the extracted recovery.img into a convenient folder on your phone. Then launch Flashify on your phone, choose Flash/recovery image and select the previously copied recovery image. When done, app menu allows to reboot into recovery, when needed.

Flashify has been tested on my Nubia Z5S and it looks to be compatible. Avoid menu options related to TWRP and regular CWM recovery, since these are not yet compatible to Nubia Z5S.

i installed the miui 4.3.3 latest version and the phone has a bit better signal, its not what it should be but it works better now, i guess something with 3g wasnt working good. i just installed cpu z and saw something i see first time. i had the tcl idol x mtk6589t and the cpu load was allways at 2-7% now my nubia z5s is at lowest 18% and goes to 50% cpu load sometimes. is this a problem, is it normal or not? can someone check his phone if its normal to go like this?

[General Questions and Answers] nickutd:
I've got both z5s and idol x+ (mtk octacore).

Except from the videocamera Idol X+ is a better phone imho.

Better wifi signal

Better audio during phone call

Better gsm and 3g signal

Less battery draining

What’s your experience with z5s? Are you satisfied on wifi/gsm/3g? (I’m not!)

Any possibility to improve at least wifi/gsm/3g signal?
[General Questions and Answers] mirceat:
Main drawback on Z5S is the stock firmware, therefore many complaints on Chinese forums on wifi/gsm/3g.

Audio on phone calls has been improved on stock v1.30 and there is more room for improvements, this is my impression.

Chinese forums display possible workarounds, but Z5S definitely needs a better ROM. MIUI looks to be the most promising contender on this Z5S ROMs scene. There are leaked MIUI beta builds available, still buggy, first official MIUI ROM might be published in a week or such. Patience is the solution for now.

Hey Guys,

I´ve ordered the Z5s from Etotalk with the Etotalk Mod Rom, because it said it would be multilanguage but it isn´t...

The reason for buying the Phone was 4k and SlowMo and now with the Mod Rom the Stock Camera App didn´t work and with other Apps I can´t record in Slow Mo and 4k.

Can someone just upload the working Camera Application, or can I flash my Phone to Stock in any way?

Thanks,

Try to install as system app the modded stock camera from here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51209937&postcount=11

It features many unlocked settings, not available in the stock camera. The downloaded apk will install Camera, Gallery and Video apps.

Or get just the latest stock camera from here http://nuvision.app.nubia.cn/apk/nubia_camera_v1.0.28.apk. Install it as user app.
[General Questions and Answers] auto456:
Well, if install the first APP I get the message APP can't be installed. The first time I got the message "Problem parsing package"

With the second APP I can't choose Slowmo and 4K
[General Questions and Answers] mirceat:
Yes, the stock app has no slowmo and 4K, not sure how it was on the stock Gallery2.apk

How to install the modded Gallery2.apk as system app:

- assuming you have root permissions on your device, look into system/app folder and make a backup copy of your current Gallery2.apk, if any exists

- copy the modded Gallery2.apk into system/app

- change permissions for Gallery2.apk to rw-w--w-- (code 0644)

- reboot your device, it will say something about upgrading and you'll get the Camera, Gallery and Video apps

- if you have any camera crashes, open Gallery in an app manager that can access system apps and clear data and clear cache

Use for app install a file explorer like ES File Explorer or Root Browser from ROM Toolbox.
[General Questions and Answers] Aturik4:
Thanks, but if I restart my Phone there is no upgrading Apps and the App doesn´t install.

In the /system/app folder there is also a Gallery2.odex file, can I delete this?
[General Questions and Answers] mirceat:
The odex file might be the problem, unfortunately I'm not Android developer.

I'd move the odex file to a backup location, leaving just the new Gallery2.apk in system/app. Then reboot and cross the fingers. :)

Hi everyone, I bought this phone from a guy here in Italy. The first thing I've done is to reset the device to the factory settings. Then I've tryed to do the update to the version 1.3 of the firmware (in the phone that was not rooted and there were already installed google play store and the italian language). When i try to do the update appears on the screen a page with the android logo with 3 options written in chinese language and I don't know what option take! There's also another problem, every time I reboot the phone, after the normal graphics that appear when you start the phone, I've to wait a minute because the phone said "optimizations of the applications for android" every time! is it normal? do you have a guide in wich I could know which option click to update the phone? the info on my phone said "kernel version 3.4.0-gff584c0" and the build number "nx503a wwwlenovohomenet" , and band version "nx503a_z0_cn_asppl1dd14f122" and i could'nt know if the phone is already updated or not!!!! Beacuse the phone find an update if I search it but after I download it with chiense language i could not understand if the software is updated or not! please help me!!!
[General Questions and Answers] mirceat:
It looks like you have a v1.22 ROM, modded probably by the retailer.

Maybe your device has been rooted, you should check this. This is why you get the Chinese text, asking you to chose some option by update, I guess.

If you want to update to the stock V1.30, you have to unroot and restore the factory settings. See http://www.nubia.cn/article/57.html#con.

The message "optimizations of the applications for android" is not normal.

I ve restored the fa tory settings but it's always the same, the phone let me choose the italian language band when it starts google apps are already installed in, how can I restore the device to the initial factory settings so I could after install the 1.3 firmware? i ve tried to use vroot but when install it in my Cell it is in chinese language and I don't understand show to unroot, is there a way to know what kind of ROM si installed in the device, erase it and restart the primitive factory settings???
[General Questions and Answers] mirceat:
You should have an exact status of your phone and then decide the next steps.

- is it rooted?

- has it the stock recovery or third party recovery?

- are there gapps already installed? you say yes

- are there other third party system apps?

I'm assuming your ROM is highly modded, you have some CWM recovery and therefore first choice would be to go to the retailers site and look for his V1.30, then flash it.

Second choice would be to take another modded rooted ROM V1.30 from Chinese forums.

Third choice: cleanup you device, unroot, factory reset and then flash the ROM update.

If you get VRoot from mgyun.com/en/GetVRoot, you'll have the English version. Uninstall the Chinese version if you have it on your PC and install the new one.

When you connect the phone to PC and start VRoot, you get a window like in attachment. This is for the case the phone is already rooted. When not, you get a Root button.

Most important, read basic stuff on root, recovery, flashing ROMs before you get into trouble.
