[General Questions and Answers] navin_n:
Check my POST #954. I have posted the links for stable CM11, Mokee and PAC ROMs.

Other Alternatives but these ROMs are mainly ported from Chinese popular OS by Chinese Developers so it won't have GApps and will have only EN/CN. I can't give you the detailed review on these ROMs because I have not tried all except MIUI. You can try and check it yourself.

Links to download the ROMs from my Baidu Drive:

1. BaiduOS ROM

2. IUNI OS

3. ColorOS

4. MIUI ROM

5. LewaOS (Android Version 4.3)
[General Questions and Answers] DallasCZ:
proDOOMmans roms MOKEE,PAC, CM11 have a mega disk url (added to first post)

Chineese roms are on bbs.ztehn.com and on bbs.anzhi.com - very good roms, but they have mostly added some settings addons and they are only in Chinese.

I am planing to translate some firmware with chinese addons to englich,but i wait to 4.4.4 firmware (zte v5s and v5max allready running on 4.4.4. firmware) which will be the last on kitkat. then ZTE will start to release new 5.0 lolipop based firmware, which will be with new NUBIA UI and till this will be i will use the final kitkat firmwar efor aour device.

I have 1.15 version and i have 2 problems..The first is when i install an aplication there are created 2 shortucts for the app..i dont know why this happens..i tried also navins rom 1.15 the same problem.There other problem is that i have 2 sims and i have selected to call from the second sim but when i try to make a call it calls from the first sim....i have to open the contact and select from there from witch sim to call..
[General Questions and Answers] DallasCZ:
1-in google play store go to settings and disable "create shortcut on homescreen". for current double icons clear cache of the launcher.

2-i don't use 2 sims, but did u consider to switch the sims, that the prefered one is the first sim?
[General Questions and Answers] tsakalos125:
The setting in playstore worked!!The clear cache didnt work on launcher and i did clear data...it worked!but you have to re arrange your icons and folders...

The second slot is only 3g so i cant swap it to the first as i wont have 3g...thanks very much Dallascz!!

update..any ideas why my phone cant to free wifi but in my house and other places that have protected wifi i can??I was side by side with a Lenovo and a Samsung and they where able to connect but i couldnt..
[General Questions and Answers] navin_n:
Please don't misunderstand that only one slot is dedicated to 3G. Either slot can work in 3G mode but not at same time so it doesn't matter which slot you put your sim.

For wifi reception, i have also mentioned in earlier post that if the wifi router are relatively old some newer Qualcomm chipsets are not able to connect. I have already faced this issue.
[General Questions and Answers] tsakalos125:
Yeap.. You are right.. When i tested the sim ports i probably had bad reception so i assumed that the second port is 3g...by the time i changed my sim the signal was good again and i came to this conclusion..

[General Questions and Answers] navin_n:

Unbrick guide

Guys,

I made step by step guide for unbrick phone, as I promised...

http://xdaforums.com/general/help/unbrick-zte-v5-red-bull-v9180-2gb-ram-t2948863

So don't wory about bricking now. And I suggest to all - do backup while you can :)

You won't have problem with donors if you haven't any.
[General Questions and Answers] KallaiR:
i wouldn't recommend trying to use the xposed framework with stock rom. zte UI is so custom and the xposed framework would only mess up your rom. i have read saying so and from a developer for a similar phone (nubia z7 mini). he concluded that using xposed would only "damage" the functionality of the phone.
[General Questions and Answers] DallasCZ:
i know this but on the other hand on every chinese forum regarding ZTE V5, ZTE Z7 and so are threads about installing and using xposed framework, but they have their own chinese language version of xposed framework.

i just tried google camera and i got that problem (stock 1.15 rom)
[General Questions and Answers] DallasCZ:
I trie dnow and there are white spots when using flash.. :(

But i dont use flash so no big problem for me.
[General Questions and Answers] KallaiR:
yes me too. plus, i find the stock camera app much more useful!

my only consern is that i would like more the stock gallery. is there any way we can get it to our phone? the zte gallery some times force closes and i have to clear app data to make it work well again.
[General Questions and Answers] DallasCZ:
stock camera works well beside the flash issue, and there is the mokee gallery.. the camera app has inly some sort of picture browser, not the main gallery.

The ony thing it does is if i select download mode it opens up all the folder and drives for the phone but back screen on phone
[General Questions and Answers] DallasCZ:
i am using it on mokee right now without any issue... i also installed it as normal app
[General Questions and Answers] navin_n:
If you can go to Stock recovery (Nubia Recovery) then you can easily flash the Stock ROM. You can find the stock ROMs in DallasCZ's Google Drive.

The ROMs in my drive are modded ones so it needs Custom Recovery (CWM or TWRP) to flash it. It will fail if you try to install it through Stock recovery.
[General Questions and Answers] saritkgp143:
tried run the run.bat..........connected the phone....bt not sure wether it detected....it said successfuy flashed...seect boot recovery.....after cicking on boot recovery it went to the nubia system recovery

so is the cwm installed/////?
[General Questions and Answers] navin_n:
If you run the bat file you will get the options to chose. Just enter your choice accordingly. For Example: If you enter " 1 ", then it will install CWM recovery...and if successfully flashed then you will get CWM recovery not Nubia System Recovery.
[General Questions and Answers] fazerg:
There is probably much easier or rather faster way. And you do not need donor phone. But it's still good to have full backup of your own phone.

Basically the method is exactly the same but you need to flash with dd only first part of disk which contains partition table boot records etc.

Unpack attached file and type in Linux terminal while being in the directory where file unpacked:

dd if=head.img of=/dev/sdx

where x stands for drive letter of your corrupted phone.

Disconnect USB cable, reset the battery and boot the phone.

If it does not boot normally it should boot at least to recovery or fastboot mode
[General Questions and Answers] marus2:
Yes, that's the easy way ☺ I'll update my post on my thread as soon as I'll be on computer...

Or you can do a reply
[General Questions and Answers] saritkgp143:
Let me get this way!....fisrt run the bat file.it gives few option....so after connection i can only goes to nubia recovery or fast boot menu....

so which mode you want me to boot the phone fisrt?

please suggest
[General Questions and Answers] navin_n:
As you are able to go in Stock Nubia Recovery....you can just flash the STOCK ROM and for this first you need to download the stock rom, put it in SD Card and flash it through Nubia Recovery.

After you flash the STOCK ROM, your problem will be resolved but probably you want to root your device + install GAPPS...and for this you will require to install the CWM or TWRP recovery for flashing the Root files and GApps.

So, I was suggesting why don't you just flash the custom recovery from the initial process and then just flash the modded ROMs that you have downloaded from my google drive. Anyway, to use the bat file I asked you to use, you need to first put the phone in FASTBOOT mode ( it's the mode where you can see bunch of menus like Continue to Boot, Recovery, Dload mode etc.) ....connect the cable and run the bat file for flashing the desired Custom Recovery (CWM or TWRP)....

(Note: You need to install the adb drivers if you want to use run.bat file. If the drivers are not properly installed, it will not work. Download the adb drivers from my google drive and install it first before proceeding to any steps I have mentioned)

If you are still not able to get what I mean to say then take time and read the whole forum thoroughly.... all these are already explained many times in this forum...
[General Questions and Answers] saritkgp143:
I guess the driver is not getting installed....in device manager is shows android and exclamation mark....i have installed zte usb drivers (http://download.ztedevices.com/UpLoadFiles/product/643/3635/soft/2013091110335069.zip)....tried to run adb....dont know wats wrong???

---------- Post added at 12:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------

even i have tried putting the cstom cwm zip to storage folder and tried to flash by install update from sdcard but it fails,

i get fowing message

--install /ext_sdcard/.storage

finding update package

opening udate package

verifying update package

E:footer is wrong

E:signature verification faied

installation aborted

oooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[General Questions and Answers] DallasCZ:
if you dont know what are you doing please dont do it.

you have to download abddrivers, enable adb in developer options, then root the phone via bat file (of course you have to download the whole directory, not only the bat file) then in new window, that will popup when you run the bat file, choose cwm or twrp recovery, the phone should reboot to bootloader, choose boot recovety and you should see cwm or twrp recovery where you can flash gapps and root... its simple as hell and was described here dozen times. [emoji1]
[General Questions and Answers] navin_n:
Why don't you do the simple way first if you don't know what you are doing?

i told you to download Stock ROM and just flash it from Nubia Recovery..After flashing the stock rom, your phone will be working again....For other things like Root and GAPPs you can do it later. You just download the stock rom from DallasCZ's drive.
[General Questions and Answers] tsakalos125:
First you must download the STOCK rom and flash it from stock recovey!If you are trying with the bat file you will never succeed because your phone cant boot!Just flash the stock rom and leave root ,and custom roms for later!
[General Questions and Answers] navin_n:
He can boot the phone in FASTBOOT mode and I have modified bat file to run it from fastboot mode... anyway may be he has not properly installed adb drivers that's why it's failing... :cowboy::cowboy:

So what you are saying...first download the stock rom thats inside update 1.15 on computer then put the zip folder into sd card and boot to nubia recovery and then select install update from external sd card........and then it would do the process..................??????
[General Questions and Answers] navin_n:
Yes... just download the full update of v1.15 not the incremental one. And follow the steps that you have said. It will do...
[General Questions and Answers] saritkgp143:
Thank you very much....i will defintly try this and will let you know//.....

i dont find much articles on this phone for moding and doing stuffs on it even some flash tools this phone is not listed
[General Questions and Answers] DallasCZ:
why you dont flash tools? in OP there is step by step guide how to root it and how to load custom recovery? Is easy as hell if you read it first and then following the guide.

There is allready modded kernel, custom ROMS like PAC, CM11, MOKEE, many Chinese custom roms, and you can mod it by many init.d scripts (like fly-on etc), you can apply dozens of universal android patches...etc.

And of course there are not so much articles and development (logicly) as for (for example) samsung galaxy S5, because there are not milions of users...

I envy navin_n´s calm to again and again help people with things,they can read in few post on this thread. :)

hey buddy thanks it worked but it is chiness.........................how to change to english????? please advice
[General Questions and Answers] navin_n:
I am

pretty sure

when you first install the stock ROM and in the initial boot it will ask you to select the languages. How could you miss that step??? :confused::confused::confused::confused:

Anyway, if you have skipped that step then you need to go "Settings---> Languages & Inputs ---> Select Language as English." for changing the language. Even if I write you in Chinese you will not able to get it...so please google or check in youtube for changing the language from Chinese to English. I guess there are plenty of postings and videos on changing the language.

If you still can't find or change then check the following links:

Changing Language Chinese to English - Link 1

Changing Language Chinese to English - Link 2

Hello, just bought this for my wife and i wonder do you have any idea how to make the caller photo bigger. The phone is really nice for the price, but flawed by the nubia brand ui . I just can't stand it and switched to nova, but the settings and the system menus can't be changed. I really hope that some aosp rom will be available in the near future.

---------- Post added at 10:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 AM ----------

May be something is not correct with your phone's system .... re-try flashing the ROM again ... As you have already got Custom Recovery(TWRP), why don't you directly flash custom ROMs from my google drive...and check... these ROMs are basically Stock ROM but just included GApps, Root and unwanted apps removed...

I REPEAT DON'T DO ANYTHING WHICH YOUR ARE NOT FAMILIAR OF LIKE FLASHING BOOTANIMATION FILES, CHANGING KERNELS ETC....YOU WILL END UP IN BRICKING YOUR PHONE...

[General Questions and Answers] DallasCZ:
Sorry dude, but if you dont understand what are you doing, install stock 1.15 and gapps and let it be! For your safety!.

You are talking nonsense... you wrote:

"Guys have installed the stock rom v1.15 with GApp update zip...........

after that rooted the phone

and flashed with custom recovery twrp and the latest kernel from google drive...."

1-how you manage to install gapps trough stock recovery?

2-if you had custom recovery why you flashed twrp again?

The procedure and order what to install is in first three posts. (again,read it)

If the phone reboots, go to custom recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache and try to reboot the phone.

if the phone reboots then go to custom recovery and wipe data partition and reboot

if the phone reboots flash the original kernel and reboot

if the phone reboots, then wipe the system, install stock firmware 1.15, not the 100mb update, but the whole firmware (550mb or so), instal root, gapps and reboot...AND LET IT BE :laugh:
