Thanks, downloaded, will check soon! :victory: And about photos. There are white spots when i use flash. Like in factory ROM when i use 3rd party photo app. What so you think, there will be fixed or need to wait for ZTE fix?

Download again from original location, maybe damaged: LINK I flashed from TWRP too but before that i make a full wipe.

I recommend Smartmax, Smarmax_eps is lagging sometimes before that is an "ExtremePowerSaver" setting.

Help!! ZTE V4 V9180

I am from India and I have a zte v5 v9180 bought from india......I rooted it, used a MIUI V5 rom...now I am planning to go back to stock...Is it possible to go back to stock firmware of ZTEV5? I want things to be just as it was new and unroot it...is it possible?? Please help.....:( :rolleyes:
[General Questions and Answers] pgflying:
yes. you must flash the ZTE official ROM 1.12 use twrp recovery.
[General Questions and Answers] nunytes:
I want it too. I have the 4gb version and so I have ~600mb of internal memory that I don't use and I'm low with memory for apps..
[General Questions and Answers] fazerg:
Everything is possible. All depends what ROM version you got initially. Most of V5 discussed in this thread came initially wit older JB ROM and older recovery. You might have with latest in India.

Anyway, you'll need a ROM version exactly the same it was, flash it with TWRP or CWM and then flash stock recovery compatible with original ROM version. The last one for case you want to return it back to seller.

All official ROMs are available from http://www.ztehn.com/download.php, just choose right phone version too.

Guess so if you first use customized boot.img with swapped memory cards and then repartition. However you should understand the risk. Remove SD card or flash stock boot.img after such changes and you'll have a brick.

[General Questions and Answers] cyril1116:
Hello.

I have serious problem. Backlight is blinking around edge of display. I can see it in 30%+ brightness and in grey colour. When i bought phone, i saw it but then i flashed another rom and problem solved. But today I have played with software again and after flashing MIUI or CM or stock rom(1.10, 1.12) I have still that problem... Nothing helps. I can see it in CWM as well because is grey... I hope that it is not HW problem :(

Please...Anyone advice?

Sorry for my bad english.

[General Questions and Answers] Flow:
So after trying to install lots of different recovery tools and ROM's, at one point I found out that MIUI didn't work with Dual SIM so I can't use it and I wanted to go back to the 1.12 ROM from DallasCZ, but somehow when I wanted to install gapps 4.4 after installing the ROM it couldn't because there was not enough space available? Also tried the mini gapps, same problem.

I thought maybe TWRP recovery isn't wiping properly so I installed CWM and wiped everything.

After that I couldn't install the V9180_4.4_update_H112 ROM because of a prop.get error (something to do with the X and U and V).

Then I read in this case go back to stock recovery, so I flashed V9180-0.44 RECOVERY ORIGINAL FLASHABLE from CWM and then chose 'No' when it asked to root before reboot.

At that point I thought it would boot into stock recovery, but it hangs on the white V5 Logo screen.

So now I'm stuck and don't now how to proceed.

I don't know how to get it into bootloader/fastboot/recovery anymore... please help.

EDIT:

Whooptiedoo!! Sometimes writing things down and taking a little moment to think really helps.

Vol down + power button loaded into bootloader. From there I could boot into recovery :)

So now I need to think about what to install now.

I guess I'll start with some stock rom.

[General Questions and Answers] sephot:
hello

I did as it is written above, but at the moment when the update will download and restarts cell phone, update, the phone does start but I still when im checking versions of rom -> 0.44 run again to check available update, and still the download is the same version that I downloaded earlier. Such a vicious circle. Any suggestions?
[General Questions and Answers] DallasCZ:
update is avaliable only to STOCK 0.44 ROMS with STOCK RECOVERY.

1-If you have stock rom and cwm recovery flash the stock recovery ZIP i have on my google drive...this is stock recovery.

2-Now proceed with the update (this time no need to dial and force the update) just go to "about phone" and tap on "system updates" it should find the 0.50 firmware upgrade and after downloading shout the phone restart to stock recovery (you have flashed in step 1) and proceed with install.

3- After install is completed i suggest you reboot your phone (if it doesnot make automatically) if anything is wrong make factory reset in recovery...
[General Questions and Answers] sephot:
I did a manual installation of the latest version of the recovery and is ok, not counting the fact that in the latest version no longer has a multi-language: P, I'm Polish and I have to choose either English (ok not tragically;)) or Chinese bushes: P .

I have another question about what's important with 2 sim card slot? It does not work for me there is only one slot I thought that this update improves but maybe it is not so. Is it just did not work the second card slot?
[General Questions and Answers] DallasCZ:
-original stock 0.44 and 0.50 firmware are just bilanguage (english and chineese) other languages was added by resellers!

-I am from czech and the czech language was about 70% and 30% was in english,so better have all in english.

-2 sim cards work only in new updates , currently 1.06 official beta ..its for download on www.ztehn.com forum. but rumors says, that full working 1.0x update (android 4.4.2, 2 sim card support) will be launched next week, so i will wait instead of trying beta roms.

What is the changelog on 1.07 update ? any of that new update make working dual sim ?
[General Questions and Answers] DallasCZ:
Dual SIM should work from 1.06, but no version is official up to now...

i tried 1.03 version (based on 4.3 ANDROID JB OS, NUBIA UI2.00, same kernel as 0.50) i look on some system settings and apps and everything look same as 0.50 build (still error when trying to select prefered carrier) so instead of debloadting and installing all my stuff again i restored 0.50 firmware and i am waiting for propper 1.whatever version :)
[General Questions and Answers] wwenigma:
Yep. Build.prop say:

ro.build.display.id=ZTE V9180_CNUnicom_V1.03

ro.build.version.release=4.3

[General Questions and Answers] cyril1116:
So... I think that it is HW problem :(
[General Questions and Answers] fazerg:
cyril1116, looks like you did something extremely wrong initially and now one of partitions is corrupted and you can't rectify this just flashing normal ROM, even stock one. Flashing clean empty /data and /cache partitions may help. Actually you can wipe them from custom recoveries too. Did you try it? In case you did but it was not working from custom recoveries I can create dummy data and cache partition images to flash with fastboot. Meantime you can download stock ROM from http://www.ztehn.com/download.php just click on V9180 (Unicom Edition) first to get proper versions and download 0.44 and 1.12 . You'll have to flash 0.44 first and then 1.12 using TWRP recovery, CWM should work too but I have no idea which CWM version is correct regarding asserts.

In case steps above do not help, you may need to flash some other partitions not usually coming with ROM.

---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 PM ----------

AFAIK proDOOMman CM was compiled using ZTE V5 kernel sources with some essential corrections done. And if it's not working properly yet that's only mean something is not right in CM code. CM source itself is huge and requires a lot of time to sort out all issues regarding particular phone model.

I did try to compile Mokee and got some bugs too. As I am not on the side of CM users I did it just for curiousity, got it working and gave up. May be I'll give another try to slimkat ROM but I prefer to work on improvement of nubia UI concidering it very good and having an opinion that nothing is better than stock ROM with some fine tuning. BTW nubia UI is defenitely based on MIUI, have some proof. And MIUI was built using CM, just modified by xiaomi development team to have kind og iOS look and have some useful and not realy needed features.
[General Questions and Answers] wwenigma:
Hey... this is not only CM and MOKEE problems. Still same with OFFICIAL roms, just check any 3rd party photo app with using flash... :rolleyes: And there is no original forum for CM11 (only russian page, u speak russian?), we have ONLY that topic for V5. So we write those bugs HERE. Ok?

And FYI, proDOOMman's CM11 is near final, no other bug spotted at the moment.
[General Questions and Answers] DallasCZ:
you can read russian and chinese CM11 threads using google translate, HUH?

I know when someone finds a bug will write it here,but its annoying when 10 people write here about problem with camera and flash.

i dont know prodooms rom, i only watch chinese mokee and cm11 threads and read it trough using google translate.
[General Questions and Answers] Flow:
Thanks for the info, I'll try that tomorrow.

But out of curiosity: why don't you take all the Chinese apps out of the ROM anyway? I'm guessing 95% of the people installing your ROM don't want all that stuff on it because they don't use it (and can't even read Chinese).

Other thing, I have the same problem with the screen as you and some others have. But I do know when it first showed up. Remind you, I only have the phone for one day now.

It first occurred when I had flashed the 0.44 stock recovery (while the radio was already on 1.10). When I booted into it, I saw some grey rounded corners close to the corners of the screen where it was black before.

My phone was delivered with stock 0.50 (Android 4.3), not sure if that recovery also was 0.50.

But it's also totally different looking than the original nubia ROM and you disabled the menu- and back-buttons? I didn't try for very long but I assume they can be enabled again?

Or a miui v5 or V6 ROM that supports dual sim.

Which one would you recommend? (most stable)
[General Questions and Answers] navin_n:
Basically, all is same. I just modded these ROMs for my personal use...so in some I have added/removed some apps, applied some patches for Radio, Sound etc. which I get from Chinese forums and so on..but I don't have track in which one I have done what. Anyway, I am using V3 now.
[General Questions and Answers] Flow:
So I checked. The one I had installed was Custom 2.

Now I've installed Custom 3 which like you said is basically Stock ROM 1.12 without the Chinese crap. This ROM works fine :)

By the way, I did a little camera test and I'm a bit disappointed... at low light inside my ZTE V987 makes a little bit better pictures than the ZTE V5 :/

Still on your Custom V3, works great :)

The only thing that bothered me was that after a reboot all my icons on the homescreens were messed up again :/

One question though:

The menu- and backbutton, shouldn't they glow just like the home button? They don't light up, but I'm not sure if they did with any other ROM.

You and DallasCZ apparently are very good in not answering questions you don't have an answer to, but only commenting on questions that have been asked before.

Maybe you should be thankful there are new users trying your ROM's and trying to help you make it better.

I just restarted my phone again and all the icons are messed up again (like I wrote yesterday as well). The icons are not on the same place on the screens as they were before.

Am I the only one with that problem?

Haha exactly :D

Oh and before you do that, install ADB Driver installer!

;)

By the way navin_n, I found an error in your Custom V3 ROM, I think your Gapps install was too small or something.

Some apps need the shared library "com.google.android.maps".

Normally there should be a jar file of that library located in /system/framework but it was missing.

In the Play Store it said my device was incompatible with an app and installing the APK from sideload gave me the above error (using logcat).

Solution:

I installed pa_gapps-stock-4.4.4-20141011-signed.zip with CMW and now everything works, can even install the app from the Play Store.
[General Questions and Answers] navin_n:
Sorry, no offence bro...:cool:... Anyway, I mostly answer all the queries as far as I know.
