Can anyone help me bring my zte max up to date with the current rom? It is on clock work recovery v1.41. I just want to get back to the stock recovery so i can perform FOTA updates to the current one.

How do install stock recovery? Is it even possible to download the old stock recovery now?

Hey guys I need some help.... I'm on the CM12 v11

Everything works great.....except data on my cdma uim in my #1 slot

The apn settings are saved right. They used to work when i was on CM11 4.4

I tried my mini sim in another phone to check if my data was working fine and it is.

Deleted the apn settings & re-added the same.

No effect.

Got the latest baseband 3.57 and flashed it. Still No effect.

Since 3G/4G data works only on #1 slot. I'm in a fix.....as I can't reverse my GSM Sim to slot 1 as CDMA works only in #1 slot.

Can someone help me get my data working....thanks !!!

Another quick question.....after the update from kit kat to the merged partition 2.13 and then CM12 ...

In file explorer my SDCARD shows size 25.89GB .... is that normal ?

My 32GB external SDCARD shows correct as 29.71GB.

I also have 9.29 ROM, and the answer is not in index, cause the first step IMO should be to install TWRP recovery. And The All in One Tool is described as only for android 5 and above

So, again - how can we move from that strange ROM to newer versions?

[EDIT]

So, I'll aswer myself, in case there is another one with such old ROM.

Problem solved, found a way to upgrade to Lolipop. Thanks to user craagz, who wrote this tutorial (just erase spaces in http).

Next I have installed official 2.13 ROM (nubia updater made resize of patitions) - it's lolipop 5.0.0.

One thing - USB debugging must be switched off

Next step - from stock recovery from ROM 2.13 directly installed newest official ROM-3.77 - lolipop 5.1.1, and with tigreos tutorial from needrom/ and rooted and gapps.

That end :) I just have to configure apps and make LTE works
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] pnin:
Thanks for your valuable input. Your problem was too retro for my skill -- I'm carefully planning to upgrade from CM 12.1 (LP 5.1) to CM 13 (MM 6.0) soon... :cyclops:
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Wywern.pl:
Looks like ROM 3.77 has one big flaw - data connection doesn't work :) - no matter what I set in APN, mobile data icons aren't there and I am offline. Only WiFi

Second big issue in 3.77 - after system start I have to deactivate and activet sim cards back (for sms on second sim sometimes again)

And one little - in smart sensing disapeared smart connect (calling by taking phone to ear) and smart answer (accepting call by taking phone to ear). This I can script in tasker.

In case data wouldn't work - what would you suggest as next step: mokee 6.0.1 or lightx 3.77 ROM?
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Wywern.pl:
As my modem doesn't work, and I have no mobile data connectio, I see a few possible ways:

a) update just baseband 3.77

b) go directly to LightX 3.77 (or CM12.1)

c) go 3.22, next LightX 3.77 (or CM12.1)

c) go mokee 6.0.1

any hints?

[EDIT]

No hints, but I had some time

So, option a) didn't work.

Next tried option c) - installed 3.22 and then 3.77 LightX, unfortunately is stuck in some SIM Settings app. I could not leave it, and it was crushing.

So, finally option c) worked with CM12.1

Its a little slower then 3.77 (antutu on CM is 49k and on 3.77 51k), but everything is working :)
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Wywern.pl:
I don't like CM limitation to one wallpaper for home screen and for locker, and the phone app where there is just one button "call" (and then you have to choose which SIM you want to call) instead of just two buttons for each SIM, like in stock rom. I presume, this will remain in CM13

Did you looked at Mokee rom? Also based on AOSP marshmallow?

Z7 max rooted with CWM and international CM11 ROM

I got my Z7 max from ET in china. LTE works fine in France (Orange) .

The problem: I wanted to root the ROM (international version) and it didn't work.

I used the instructions in http://www.androidpit.com/forum/617128/nx505j-nubia-z7-max-root-cwm-recovery-and-cm11-rom-tutorial

http:.

This tutorial is referred to in the following.

But I couldn't root with the towelroot.apk as described in , maybe due to the special ROM on my phone. If you can skip step 1.

1. What I did was to install the chinese ROM version 1.38 through recovery mode (volume up +power on) and insatll "update.zip" (

2. then I was able to root (towelroot), install supersupro and reboot

3. I could not go in fastboot mode to change recovery to CWM (volume down+poweron). what I did was to install the "flashify app" and put the CWM recovery.img on my phone. My flashify the recovery was flashed.

4. I rebooted and got the CWM menu. I installed the international CM11 ROM (wipe data/factory) of the tutorial.

5. As "gogle play" was not on the NX505J CM11 ROM edition II (nighly status), I rebooted and installed gapps.zip thru "recovery" then rebooted

6. Everything worked fine except that the "menu" and "back" buttons were not placed ass I am used to ("back" on left)

7. finally to swap "back" and "menu" buttons, I followed the steps given in "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2005377"

Then everything was allright for me. ROM is OK so far I recommend this phone who has dual sim full hd screen, LTE and is cheap..

CM11 NX505J for Z7 Max WARNING

I've tested CM11 for ZTE Nubia Z7 MAX provided by chinese tdbeta forum. Filename is either one with md5sum d8b1adda6a6cb6054bae106fbd25fc0d:

cm11 nx505j II Edition.zip or cm-11-20140901-lwang-nx505j.zip

There is unwanted system application included by author which is not part of CM.

APK: system/app/Statics.apk . Presents itself as System Server 1.4.2, package name com.system.analytics.cpa

You can find a system process running from shell:

S UID PID PPID VSZ RSS TTY STIME TIME CMD
S 10057 2644 353 868m 36052 0:0 17:34 00:00:04 .abc

It's set to start on boot, trigger on each app install/deinstall, shutdown. Seems that it collects information about apps installed and reports this information to some remote web service together with imei, serial no and probably some additional private information.

I did not do deep analysis but binary strings suggest that this is unwanted application, for example:

I recommend disabling or removing this application (System Server 1.4.2) immediately if you're using CM11 NX505J build by lwang.

EDIT 10-09-2014:

Same warning applies to MoKee build by lwang, filename MK44.4-nx505j-201408231810-lwang.zip with md5sum 4559e08b8874b7176036c9740f803eb5.

I found different opinions about GLONASS and NFC support for Z7 max. NFC support is reported in nubia official homepage (chinese) but......There are 2 simple ways to verify it but I have not Z7 (I hope in the next days).

- NFC: from playstore install "Near Field NFC Tester";

- GLONASS: from playstore install "AndroiTS GPS Test Free": GLONASS satellites will have a russian flag (GPS sat USA flag). Or download and install the free GPS Test application by Chartcross Ltd. from playstore. The satellites numbered 65 to 88 are GLONASS satellites that are being tracked.

1st time attempting any modification to mobiles. Have never tried rooting before.

I definitely want Google apps on my phone, and install directly from google play.

Bought direct from Nubia.cn

Questions:

1) Do I really need CM11 ? Or can I just stick to the stock rom, but root it for GAPPs?

2) If I only want to root it, but stick to stock rom, do I need SuperSU?

3) Clarifying the steps needed for a phone just unpackaged

a) Reset to factory default (which should wipe the phone)

b) Update to newest 1.41 via http://www.nubia.cn/service.php?sid=5

c) Download towelroot and supersu, and install

d) download GAPPS and install.

While updating via OTA from 1.29 to 1.38, it downloads well, but when I reboot I got the error at: Verifying current system... "/system/framework/com.google.widevine.software.drm.jar" has unexpected contents. E:Error in /data/dm/delta/system.delta (Status 7) Installation aborted.

To solve this I did the following:

I replaced the com.google.widevine.software.drm.jar and related odex with the ones of the 'update.zip', since it seems that the gapps app altered these. . I now updated to 1.38 and Google play is working.

However it did NOT solve the automatic call answer problem that I seem to have with my Nubia Z7 max? Everytime I get a call my phone automatically answers it by displaying the big contact screen. I checked everything, tried everything including clearing data, cache in settings, apps, phone which makes the problem dissapear after a reboot for a few minutes. Apparently something is being launched after boot up which triggers this. Very annoying.

Update1:

Unfortunately upgrade to 1.41 failed. It takes ages to download 146 mb (my internet connection is fast so it must be a problem over there) and when I tried to upgrade I got errors similar to the previous case.Will try again, take pictures of the screen to see what file causes the upgrade to fail this time. But it will take a while (downloading)....

Read on other fora that with 1.41 no root would be possible and thus no option to install GAPPs. Hence I will not upgrade until that is sorted. Does any of your have experience with 1.41, rooting it and GAPPs? Thanks for letting me know

Update2:

Found the cause for the autoanswering problem, this was due to an old phone weaver setting in the 'car' mode where I had selected 'auto answer' and 'speaker on' while on the 'day' mode I kept the option 'no change' for both. Result after it was once in a car mode it kept auto answer and speaker on. Silly me.

You can't upgrade directly OTA (ie 146MB) because the stock Nubia recovery was replaced by CWM. If you still insist to OTA to reach 1.41, find your way to replace CWM to Nubia stock recovery first.

How to check that I have CWM since I am not sure that I have that

Can I upgrade via the co pledge package without losing apps data etc?

1) I received the same error when trying to OTA to 1.41. The CWM recovery could not execute the 124MB OTA file.

2) Eerrrrrr.... What is "co pledge package" ?
