[SOLVED] nubia z7 max , google play, wi-fi problems

Solved!

1-use google chrome that translate chinese automatically

2-use this tutorial 2 root the phone and install a new recovery: w w w.netded.com/a/jingpinshouji/2014/0724/28821.html (i repeat , use chrome to translate)

3- boot in recovery (power button + vul up) and install gapps for andrid 4.2.2 w w w.teamandroid.com/gapps/

4-use this to translate the chines recovery mode: w w w.addictivetips.com/android/what-is-twrp-how-to-install-use-it-on-android-devices-guide/

Now you have google play working!

About Wifi problemes: i have a workaround -> do not use dhcp, put a static ip on phone or use a reserverd IP on dhcp server (unbelivable BUT IT WORKS!)

Bro,pls helpme!

As you now gladly own a Nubia Z7 Max model,I have still some doubt about uncleared specs of Nubia Z7 Max.So,bro pls kindly help me with it.Here are my questions which are as follows:

1)Does Nubia Z7 Max Supports MHL 3.0?

2)Whether the Nubia UI 2.0 in Z7 Max supports NTFS Format?

3)Whether Nubia Z7 Max supports SnapDragon's Fast Charge 2.0?

4)Whether 13MP Rear Camera of Z7 Max,has the capability to shoot videos @ 2160p@30fps?

5)For how much period of time,will actually Nubia Z7 Max recieve OS Upgrade updates likewise Android L & so on?

I am thinking of buying Nubia Z7 Max.So,Pls bro try to answer these Questions,because no where I could find answers for my above asked questions.Thanks in Advance!:)
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Iwantcomputer:
I think Nubia officially mentioned none of the stuff you listed, 4K video maybe not supported , and according to last nubia phones, official OS upgrade is not so satisfying, but I guess it will at least receive android L .
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] nubiaz7max:
Still Confused with specs of Nubia Z7 Max!

Bro,I have now checked the Official China's nubia website,Z7 Max supports shooting 4K Videos,but no mention of MHL 3.0 & not so sure of that,because many images tend to be in Chinese Language & Google can't translate those Chinese images.Also,the problem was when I myselfi saw in ebay listing of Nubia Z7 Max,they have mentioned that Nubia Z7 Max indeed supports MHL 3.0.I would have asked that Ebay reseller to confirm it but,he wantedly set his ebay Privacy on No Queries/Doubts mode.So,I couldn't ask that Ebay Reseller to confirm"what's actually,the Confirmed specs of Nubia Z7 Max are?"Even if don't get MHL 3.0,SnapDragon's SuperCharge2.0 & other features,but I want NTFS Support for Z7 Max likewise OPO,OPPO Find 7,Mi3 & Mi4.I am completely new to Android & so I don't have experience in Rooting/Flashing which I think that I will brick my first ever Android Device which most probably be Z7 Nubia Max.So,only those who personally own a Z7 Max can only actually confirm "what are the real specs of Z7 Max?":confused:
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Iwantcomputer:
I checked the official website, didn't see the support of 4k shooting, and none of the feature you mentioned.

h.ttp://www.nubia.cn/product.php?sid=458#tab-content ，click on "产品参数".

btw, I think that nubia phones are only avaiable in China, where can you buy it ?

Z7 Max is a Perfect Future Phone!

First of thanks for replying me,you will have to click 拍照(O Pictures) in that nubia chinese website & scroll down fully down in images you could see ISOi,HDR & 4K Support.

And ZTE CORPORATION has confirmed in their Official fb page that they are gonna release Nubia Z7 Max in India by around October.

Sry,I am blocked not to post outside links here as I am yet to post a total number of 10 Posts:o:crying:

So,I am just waiting for ZTE's Official October Launch in India,that's why I need to clarify my entire doubts before their Official Launch in October.I am very impressed with Nubia Z7 Max's specs than OPO/Mi4 because it can very well act as a futuristic phone for me because my Indian Market only needs such a Dual Sim Phone with Expandable Memory Card Support up to 64GB & you will have to accept the fact that 2GB Ram in Z7 Max is more than enough to make it perform:D But,I need NTFS Support in Z7 Max than MHL 3.0/Fast Charge Support!:confused:

my experience with Z7 Max

hello ! i just received some days ago my Z7 Max from lenteen.fr, this phone is just ****ing awsome! without doing anything, my phone is stock rooted, with all gapps installed (full package) with a rom multilingual (the Nubia ROM, without any chinese bloat,

here you can find some screenshoot of the ROM : http://eoxus.free.fr/z7max/

by the way, in the network setting you can choose on what kind of network (HDD-LTE, FD-LTE, CDWMA, GSM...) you wanna work by order of preferance LTE/CDWMA/GSM by example.. i have the 4G everywhere ! this is possible with the Free Mobile network (HDD-LTE) .

On the "free config panel" by logging on the website interface the 4G is not activated because he say that my phone is not compatible with this kind of network (of course this is not true but Free Mobile don't recognize the phone as a 4G one)

i also was a iD to modify the build.prop with a editor to change the phone model and let the network believe that this is another phone, such as a Galaxy S5 who work without any mod on the network.

so here is my opinon on this phone who is really good, battery, camera, look, screen, sound.... i was with a Galasy S3 32G before.

if somebody want a dump of my rom, i can try to install a custom recovery and make a backup. i don"t want to change the rom now, this is just perfect ;):good:

some custom rom are already coming, custom cwm and TWRP recovery too, and for thoose who know how to use the search button you will find a post about the Z7 mini on Xda who give some good tips too.

btw i also confirm the MHL 3.0, 4K video and more and more....

bye bye everybody

Thanks for the confirmation. I wonder why other units does not able to use the GMSToolkit... I use the same GMSToolkit for my previous LeMoto Vibe Z K910... all in order... calendar, Google+, Hangout, etc. just installed and run properly...

Oh well... there are many other ways to get the GAPPs running... so, no worries...
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] hvis1608:
Worked for me as well. Thankssssss. I got google+ up and running but for this I also needed to extract, cut and paste some 'lib' files that were in the package but not on my phone's system/lib directory. Gave them like the apps each one by one via ES File Explorer 'properties' RW-R-R rights.

Let's hope I can also find away to install the other apps. Something for this evening/tomorrow.

Cried too early glory: after a reboot google+ keeps on crashing. Clearing cache and data did not solve it. Copying my files to PC so that I can clear data, format SD cards and do a factory reset. Perhaps this will solve it......
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] gpux:
The original factory rom had terrible battery life and drained my phone in day without any usage. The 1.41 rom seems to have rectified the issue. Check the powersave section in the Profiles app, there's a CPU Save Power option which limits the maximum CPU clock speed to 1.5GHz. The seperate Powersaver app also has options for GPU and GPS powersaving.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] TheKingKong:
I normally store my contacts as XXXX YYYY.

All in 1 field.

This works fine for me, in Samsung Phones.

When I sync to Z7 Max (stock rom) via google contacts, it automatically lists as YYYY XXXX.

Last name 1st.

It automatically chops up the name into 1st and last name, and lists according to the last name.

Is there anyway to reverse this?

[ROM 1.38 Mod By BB72] ZTE Nubia Z7 Max
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] hvis1608:
So I decided to do everything from scratch using Lazsosz method and it worked just great. With ROM Toolbox's back up I could restore the essential. Only difference I do not have Nubia's recovery but CMD. I do not think that this will change a lot. THANKS LAZSOSZ.

internal sd card memory corrupted? Bricked?

tl;dr in bold

I'm having kind of an unusual problem. I've got my Nubia Z7 Max with 1.29. It was turning off sometimes (once/twice a day), I thought it's a firmware problem, I flashed 1.41 or 1.38 Eng/Chinese version. It didn't get any better, phone was unstable. One day it couldn't start so I just rolled back to 1.29, flashed CWM again and after a couple of days of semi-stable working, it went to bootloop and now I can't even launch recovery.

When I'm plugging it in, it is showing several drives (and sometimes it stops doing even that, but then I used Z7_max_r_e_c_0801.rar). It used to be like this before (I guess it's just root), but this time, when I'm trying to mount 1,6GB drive (internal sd card I presume), it is showing files for like 1 second and then dismounts all other drives and resets itself, showing all drives as dismounted again. That's in linux, in Windows I can't even open it anymore (even though I could) and it offers me to format drive...

Here is the files list of a faulty drive (1.6GB, ls from linux before it disconnects): (is it internal sd or some other one?)

b4:

addon.d app bin build.prop driver.iso etc fonts framework lib lost+found media preset_apps priv-app tts usr vendor xbin

and the other ones:

b:

anr app-lib backup com.powermo.sensor.sock data drm hostapd media nfc resource-cache ssh tombstones

app app-private bugreports connectivity dm fdAlbum local mediadrm nqs security system tp

app-asec audio cam_socket1 dalvik-cache dontpanic fota lost+found misc property shared time user

b1:

b2:

data lost+found mics property proxdata sensors WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin

b3:

backup fota lost+found recovery

Fastboot was working at first (managed to flash CWM) and after it got into bootloop, there was no flashboot anymore. Only Chinese Z7_max_r_e_c_0801.rar could somehow magically make it work (it reported flashing it successfully, but then, after resetting the phone, it showed error: device not found and I still could neither boot to system nor to recovery mode.

What can I do now? Should I maybe try to somehow format the faulty drive in linux? Can I maybe manually put something on other drives? I've tried launching it in different modes and it is not recognized by Odin or Heimdall and I think I have proper drivers in Windows.

Anyone who has 1.41 installed and has CWM recovery (to uninstall Xposed if there is a bootloop) could you try to install Xposed Framework and leave feedback on if it works nicely or not?

phone arrived - how can I check the actual status of the OS installed?

Hi all,

I have been reading this post and just want to check a couple of things before I do something wrong.

I got the phone with:

-nubia UI v9.5.0

-android v4.4.2

-kernel v3.4.0-perf-gbd8e2f8

- buid number: NX505J_CNCommon_V9.29

-hw v NX505JMB_A

In system update i get a message that FOTA online updater has found a new version: NX505J_CNCommon_V1.38.

Since my phone has the option to choose "spanish" I guess it it not the official rom, right?

I read I can update to 1.38 and then to 1.41. My question is how should I do that talking into account the rom I have installed?

Another question for my spanish colleague (or anyone who has used the unofficial rom and so a different language (other than english/chinese)):

do versions 1.38/1.41 allow to select more than one language at "language and input"?

Rgds.

EDIT: how do i check if the mobile is root?
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pilililo2:
No, its not the official ROM, its the multilingual rom. Yes you can update to 1.38 and then to 1.41 if you have multilingual but you will lose other languages other than chinese or english s have that in mind. As I said, 1.38 and 1.41 only support English and Chinese. No more.

Si tienes mas preguntas animate :)

---------- Post added at 11:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 PM ----------

You can check if it is rooted by using root chekcer from the play store. But if it is rooted you should have SuperSU installed. If you want to use it just use Towelroot from Gheohot :)

Mine is working perfectly. Maybe redownload and check MD5 Sum for download erros and reflash.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Biggenz:
I've just flashed 1.41 again and still the same thing. The rotation works when I use the camera, but where the home screen previously rotated, it's now not doing it with 1.41.

EDIT: I've also just done a factory reset and it made no difference so I'm convinced it must be the stock rom. I'm downloading 1.38 and will try that because 9.29 definitely worked when I got the phone.

Any suggestions?
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pilililo2:
Oh yeah, sorry, they changed the launcher so the rotation doesnt work in the launcher. But it still works on all apps etc.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Biggenz:
Ah! Thank you for confirming. I thought I was going crazy....

Do you know if there is any way to modify the launcher to enable this again?
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pilililo2:
You can force rotation with some exposed modules. And you can always change to another launcher

Just to let everybody know who may experience the same as I did: if you follow the provided guides and still cannot make it to flash the cwm recovery (you always end up in nubia-recovery).....just follow Lazsosz guide in this post (page 3) and use "Nubia-z7-Max-Tools-0801.exe" that you will find in "Z7_max_r_e_c_0801.rar".

Rom 1.41 and Gapps

Any pointers gratefully accepted chaps as I've come to the hair pulling out stage. Got the Z7 Max yesterday. Running 1.38 with Play Store installed. I set it up and everything was working fine. Later it said there was an update to 1.41 which I downloaded OTA but the file was only over 140 meg. I read somewhere that it should be over 700 meg. I went through the update but still showed 1.38. OK so I downloaded the 700 meg 1.41 and updated. Went without a hitch. However Play Store kept crashing. OK, I did a factory reset but kept apps and SD card files. Play Store still crashing. Did a total slate wipe. Play Store didn't crash because there was no Play Store. Everything got hosed. ..... Bollox!!!!!!!!!

Spent a while online and found I could restore with the Gapps file listed here. Followed the procedure on Page 3. Rooted, Superuser, Developer, debug mode, installed ZTC and ADB drivers. Plugging in the Z7 to the compiuter shows USB connected and I can copy files, pics etc. no problem, so the computer is finding the Z7 OK.

Unplugged and replugged the Z7 in, shows debugging connected then ran the run_permanente bat file and watched the command prompt start the daemon and that's it. Bollox. OK plan B. I then went the route of the Nubia-z7-max-tools-0801. Same deal hung on waiting on device. Right, gotta be the adb end of the business. Ran adb devices and nothing listed. OK had a look at device manager and sure enough there was a yellow exclamation mark against Android under other devices. Tried to update drivers but found nothing via the web or searching on my PC. Killed the adb service in task manager, restarted the computer but still no joy.

I then tried the universal adb set up. Same deal. Nothing. So I have tried it and the minimal adb fastboot setup. Nada, not a sausage. Darn computer and the phone just wont talk over adb. My computer is a Dell running 8.1 and USB 3. Tried it on another computer with Windows 7 and USB 2. Heck ever tried a Macbook Air running Parallels and Windows 7. Same big nothing. So there seems to be no way to get Rayglobe Recovery. The Ordinary Nubia Recovery won't install the Gapps as it fails with a certificate error.

OK another tack. Try 4.4_GSMInstaller.apk. It installed something that when I opened it gave me 3 Chinese install options. The first didn't work and the other 2 gave a message in Chinese. Total bust. Finally I went for com.google.android.gms-4.4.48+(1150368-038).apk. Unfortunately it just falls over with google play has stopped working.

Finally tried the USBDriverTool to see if that would work. Unfortunately it seems corrupted and wont extract no matter how many times I download it.

So there is my sorry tale. Total loss as to what I'm doing wrong or what to do next. I'll go back to 1.38 if it has the Play Store installed.

Any help gratefully accepted.

This is the Z7 Max thread and the discussion is about getting Google services installed for the Z7 Max, not the Samsung nor the Sony. It would have been nice if you mentioned that you have tried it for the S2 and S39h, not the Z7 Max.

Yes, it quits automatically.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Biggenz:
First of all, calm down! :D

Once you update the stock rom you need to flash gapps again. You've done everything right apart from flash custom recovery it seems. When you connect your phone to your pc and run the custom recovery batch file, make sure you look at your phone display and click ok to start the flash!!

You're talking about permanente.bat file, but that is the rayglobe custom recovery for the Z7 Mini. I'm not sure if that will work on the Max. I have both the Mini and the Max and I flashed CWM on my Max(and rayglobe on my Mini) which works perfectly. Download that and try it again.

You'll get it sorted mate, don't worry.
