Well, thanks for the post, haven't seen it although I googled my head out for a proper English recovery. It's a shame about the issues with the 6.0.4.7. It seems it doesn't stick as recovery, the original gets overwritten on boot, and if we try to prevent it it goes into bootloop.

Root permissions

Hi guys,

I have rooted my device but I cannot run titanium back up application.It says that needs root permissions.The same thing happens with other apps.I have installed super user.I cannot find any manager permission on device settings.Please,help me.
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
install SuperSu instead

Flashable Zip --> http://download.chainfire.eu/382/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip

or install from playstore
[General Questions and Answers] Ail31ou:
Root permissions

I have already,installed superSu from playstore but the problem still remains.

Please help.
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
No

That's not the same. You MUST flash the zip in recovery as you actually don't have rootacces it will not work installing in Android.

Could you please tell me the procedure step by step for ''flash the zip in recovery''?

Thanx
[General Questions and Answers] mirceat:
I'm assuming you have just the stock recovery on your device, not a custom recovery like CWM.

The stock recovery won't let you flash SuperSu, I guess.

You can stay just rooted, no custom recovery.

Try to repeat the root process using VRoot. This installs Superuser or KingUser (kinda SuperSu) and you're good to go. If you're already really rooted, VRoot will unroot your device on first run, then run it again to root back. Or choose Reroot at the first run.

Wondering what tool have you used to get root permissions, leaving you without some superuser app?
[General Questions and Answers] Ail31ou:
Root permissions

I have a custom rom(miui 4.2.28)

I have flashed the smartphone with vroot but in chinese language,and I am not sure what I have done

I have CWM.

Can I do something else with CWM?

Thanx
[General Questions and Answers] mirceat:
Maybe your MIUI ROM was already rooted and you have unrooted it when running VRoot.

You can flash SuperSu with CWM this way:

- copy SuperSu.apk (or what is called) to the SDCard root

- reboot the device into recovery (holding volume up + power when device restarts, then release just the power button when the Nubia logo shows up)

- move into recovery using volume up/down

- move to second option install zip

- select it pressing the power button

- then select choose zip from sdcard

- you'll get a file browser, select your Supersu and install it

- then go to main menu and select reboot system now

It would be easier to try again the English VRoot, find it attached to this post.

If you install and run it, it will show your current root status and will offer you the corresponding option.

See attached screenshot, says "Z5S has root permissions" for my device and it offers Unroot and Reroot.

If you have not root permissions, it will show the Root button.
[General Questions and Answers] Ail31ou:
Many thanx mirceat.You are a great guy.

I will follow your instructions in a few hours and I will let you know.
[General Questions and Answers] Ail31ou:

Everything went fine with vRoot!

Which app do you suggest for app-manager?unistaller pro or kinguser?

Which system-apps do you suggest to delete?

Thanx
[General Questions and Answers] mirceat:
ROM Toolbox lite is my "Swiss knife", I'm considering to buy the Pro license to get backup/restore features.

ES File Explorer has a comprehensive app manager as well.

If you add Titanium Backup, many basic maintenance tasks can be covered with these free tools.

Be very careful with system apps, this would be my only recommendation.

I got rid of Chinese user apps because I don't understand their menu.

[General Questions and Answers] mirceat:
Yes, it opens a DOS window, not sure if it asks you to press any key or you just wait until the windows closes itself.

Wait and if you are in doubt after some minutes, press any key.

Connect the device before running the executable. It just runs, doesn't get installed on PC.
[General Questions and Answers] Ail31ou:

Nothing at all.The DOS windows remains inactive.
[General Questions and Answers] mirceat:
USB debugging is enabled on your device, I guess, because you ran VRoot on it.

Connect the device, then run the executable.

Press 1, then Enter when it looks to wait for your input.

Then wait until the windows closes itself, it takes some time.

Sorry, I don't remember all details and I don't want to test again CWM install on my device.

Hi, I got the ZTE Z5S and it is great. Root was no problem, Recovery also, installed Google Play Store once via the Google Installer with all Framework, or once with the Play Store Zip Package from go.im, all now problem.

Works really nice and really like the phone.

THE ONLY PROBLEM I GOT is ERROR 911 in Play Store when I try to install Games that are bigger than 50MB. I searched for it and there are a lot of tips how to solve it. Wipe Cache, Wipe Play Store Cache, Wipe Google Framework, reinstall it, delete Google Account and add it again, try another Wifi Network and so on. Tried it all, nothing works.

SOMEBODY experiencing the same problem and got a solution?

Help Please ...

Hi, I'm new here and don't know whether this is the right place to ask for this.

I apologise in case it's not, but I'm desperate ...

After searching a lot in google and xda, haven't found a place where to find a solution to my problem ...

Have been searching and searching for 6 days now (6 Days ago I bricked my Z5S upon installing the wrong ROM) and have found lots of entries about QPST with older versions (builds 366 and 378), which seem to be useless to me (device is recognized in Windows Devices but QPST says 'NO PHONE' when adding port) and with higher versions of QPST, I'm stuck on this:

Have downloaded several versions of QPST which didn't recognize the phone in QDL Mode until version build 399 and above (found phone as Q/QCP-XXX SAHARA DOWNLOAD) ... Have downloaded from nubia the files 8974_msimage.mbn and MPRG8974.hex for the Z5S but the case is that it looks like MSM8974 is still not supported by that version of QPST ...

When in Soft download -> Settings -> there's no option in "ARMPRG to use ...." for the MSM8974 ... and when I try to flash the phone image "8974_msimage.mbn" it says that the hex file is invalid ... and besides, I don't know where to set the firmware file (MPRG8974.hex) ...

Could anyone please give me a hand ?

This is my first time unbricking using QDL Mode and I'm lost ...

Thanks in advance ...
[General Questions and Answers] mirceat:
There is a wrong bootloader on your phone and you can't put it into download mode using just software tools, as far as I know.

A JTAG box or replacing the motherboard could help. At least something to force the phone to enter into download mode.

Unfortunately Nubia Z5S is pretty new and is not yet supported by the JTAG boxes, it will take some months.

Similar case here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2668002&page=3, I guess.
[General Questions and Answers] usr3010:
SAHARA protocol XML file

Thanks for replying ... But after having revised some stuff, I've noticed that I was using the wrong software downloader ... For MPRGXXXX files MUST USE the QPST eMMC software downloader ... as stated here ...

The phone is already in QDL Mode and so is found by QPST when adding the port (Attached Image) So I've tried the eMMC downloader BUT, as the phone uses the new SAHARA PROTOCOL, it asks for an XML File with the ... Protocol Specs ? ... So if anyone has that file or knows how to get it, PLEASE, let me know ... I'm using a document released by NUBIA where people in my state has been able to download the firmware which allows the phone to show all partitions, so that you can copy a stock ROM to the phone (in the last partitions which is the HDD of the phone) and start it later in recovery to flash it ... What annoyes me is that they state having got it by using older versions of QPST (build 377) which are supposed to not recognise the phone because for me, only starting with QPST build 399 the phone is recognized in QDL Mode with SAHARA PROTOCOL ... The eMMC soft downlader screen is the same but mine asks for the SAHARA xml file ... I've tried to flash the files without the xml and the log is this:

Device mode = Sahara on port 10001

server event monitor enabled

path for selected COM port = "_HCD1!dev:3"

Sahara XML file path not valid

and the process is aborted ...

Has anyone else with a bricked Z5S been succesful with older versions of QPST which do not ask for the SAHARA xml file ?

How did you get it ? If Any, could you post it ?

I'm using Windows 7 x64 and Ubuntu 12.04

Thanks for your help ...

reading the post on unbricking the older Nubia Z5 http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=505708&view=findpost&p=29568317, the process might be more complicated, it requires WinXP 32-bit, QPST 402 or lower than 378, because of this new Sahara dload protocol used by Nubia Z5S, I guess. Other tools are needed, as well.

Just rooted and flashed MIUI rom on Z5S

Just wish to share that I recently bought a Nubia Z5S, and I have successfully rooted, installed CWM and flashed latest MIUI rom, as well as gaps.

Just whether there will be any problems or not, time will tell.

But so far, able to access Google Play store to download Whatsapp, and could see my apps on the My Apps list.

If these are of any help to anyone out there:

My steps are:

1) Root the phone using VRoot (mentioned in this thread on page 5 or 6, I believe)

2) Flash recovery (xxx.miui.com/thread-1701801-1-1.html) - change xxx to www

Although the link is in chinese, scroll down to z5s recovery 刷入方法 (translation: z5s recovery flashing method)

Click on

请注意这是z5s recovery 点击下载

(translation: Download z5s recovery here)

From the downloaded zip. extract, and then double click recovery.bat (After the usual USB debug is ticked and phone connected to pc)

You should see the screen dump on that page.

Once command prompt says …>null

Press any key and the phone will reboot

3) Enter recovery (Vol+ and power, release power button when screen shows nubia, hold vol+ until recovery screen)

The rest I followed the steps on the webpage (with simple english). Of course, rom is pre-downloaded.

4) Download gapps and flash in recovery.

Hopefully this helps someone who wish to root and flash other roms. :)
