[Verizon LG G4] DRSdroid:
I made an earlier pledge and I do intend to keep it.. But I would like to ask if there is anyone else working on a safe root method or any other thread to discuss root that is not locked?

This is the first time I've seen discussion of root treated in such a way. I'm not sure if this was common with other devices and perhaps I was lucky before, but in my experience there has usually been a sticky post in one of the developer sections where people can discuss methods, attempts, and often even volunteer to test the methods being devised. Usually when it's a community/team effort safe, user friendly root is achieved quicker. Not trying to derail this thread, merely making an observation in an attempt to avoid the weekly "WHERE IS ROOT?! " thread that is immediately followed with trolls, wild accusations, and eventually a mod-lock.
[Verizon LG G4] spotmark:
You're not alone, I just politely asked in the Lounge thread if we might get an update, but so far none has been forthcoming. This certainly is being played close to the vest.

Dennis, or mod, please feel free to delete my post. I was only trying to answer the previous post.
[Verizon LG G4] Dennisg34:
There was a root thread that was asked to be closed by the OP. There was another one the other day but I can't find it. maybe [MENTION=990284]TonyStark[/MENTION] can help out. If not, feel free to open your own root discussion thread. This thread is for pledges

It's best to simply use the lounge for now, as the "root" threads tend to turn into flame wars
[Verizon LG G4] DaBunny:
My intent was that I'd pay $25 for root, and $40 for VZW unlock. (Because presumably an unlock would include root as unlocking make rooting fairly easy? Or am I mistaken on that?)

That'd be my preference, but if that's not workable or doesn't make sense, just put me down for $25 root.
[Verizon LG G4] Dennisg34:
ah ok, it was the "or" that first threw me off but I see where you're going with this now:)
[Verizon LG G4] stl-soldier:
I thought it was assumed that bootloader unlock pledges included the money for root, since bootloader unlock essentially includes the ability to root, therefore always being an "or" scenario. If that assumption was incorrect, I'll still pay up for both, but it was not the intention. If they are completely separate, then you could probably add all of the root money to the bootloader unlock money. I've made several donations to developers, but never taken part in a bounty, so please excuse my ignorance.

Hi ,

I am new on this forum so sorry moderators if i have posted this where i shouldn't have . I recently got a ZTE NUBIA Z9 Mini and i wanted to root it so tried different methords and somehow i managed to soft brick it or as they say its in a bootloop. Whenever i try to boot the phone with volume up button + power button just the home screen nubia logo appears and it stays there. I am absolutely clueless what to do ... followed some youtube videos to flash new rom using fastboot but apparently it needs back up files which i don't have .

Someone please help me

Thanks !

Possible Fix?

Hey have you tried to boot to recovery? it can depend where you brought it from. I got mine directly from the nubia store on thier website and it came rooted with a recovery system already in place, i had the same issue as you I booted into recovery power+vol down downloaded the rom again or most up to date rom from the website or in my case needroms website . Then i just installed the rom from update on the sd card View attachment 3357925 then it took about 3-5 mins to install and i rebooted it. View attachment 3357928 After this it should be as normal like flashing any rom onto any android device then wolla done even all my apps and data remained safe because it was only a software update flashed over.
[ZTE Nubia Z9 Mini Questions & Answers] majklB:
I have the same problem.

If I press volume - and power device doesnt go to recovery, it just show Nubia logo on the screen for a while, then screen is black, That is all. If I plugg it into PC, computer can see one part of partiition with -Image- directory and a few unreadable partitions..

Do you know what to do, please????
[ZTE Nubia Z9 Mini Questions & Answers] Jeff72fr:
Don't do nothing ;) I had the same bug here with the logo Nubia again and again.

Just let the phone discharging itself (as you can't remove the battery).It will take around 24 hours.

Put an official rom on your sd card.

When the battery is out (try to power and if nothing happens it's good) just plug your phone to charge (not on pc) and try to go to the recovery.It should works.

Then load the official rom and after you will restore your backup (if you have one).
[ZTE Nubia Z9 Mini Questions & Answers] majklB:
I tried this already, just without sd card. Problem is, that I cannot go to recovery. If I press volume - and power I'll get just on logo screen, nothing else... :(

If I plug completely discharged phone on charger and press nothing, then just charging procentage appear for a while and then is dead again.

[ZTE Nubia Z9 Mini Questions & Answers] majklB:
Problem solved!!!

This helped:

- Use a fast microSD card and copy on the root folder the original Nubia ROM (you can download it on the first page of this thread)

- Insert this microSD card into the phone

- Turn on your phone and let the battery completely discharge

- When the phone is turned off, press and hold Volume - than connect your AC adapter (USB cable connected to PC does not work), en Should start in bootloader menu

- If you can successfully start the bootloader menu, run the phone into recovery mode and than install the rom from external sd card

At the moment there is not any tool or bin format image for this phone

[ZTE Nubia Z9 Mini Questions & Answers] oleg1980:
Hello everyone!

I had the bootloop problem and I could solve it following your recommendations. My problem is that the original ROM installation process was suddenly stopped (I don't know exactly why) and now I have no access to the OS. Everytime I reboot it, the system goes to the bootloader showing this message:

Bootloader Menu

You entered this screen because:

No kernel (boot partition is bad)

Now you are in fastboot mode

The phone is fused

Then I have access to TWRP or to the original Nubia recovery, but I can't install a new ROM. I can restore backups but when I restart the system it goes to the bootloader menu again. Any solution for this issue?

Thank you in advance!
[ZTE Nubia Z9 Mini Questions & Answers] oleg1980:
Problem solved!

Hi again!

I finally could flash the official ROM via TWRP. Initially I was trying to flash this ROM from the SD card, but the installation didn't work neither with TWRP nor with Nubia recovery. Then I copied the ROM to the internal storage and flashed it with TWRP with no more issues. Hope this information is useful for other members.

Thank you!
[ZTE Nubia Z9 Mini Questions & Answers] oleg1980:
Hi once again, dudes!

As I told you this morning, I finally managed to fix my problem with the no-kernel message. However, after the reboot, I have lost wifi and bluetooth connections. When I turn on the wifi it doesn't even search for available networks. I have tried with official ROMs 1.16 and 1.19 and with a custom multilanguage ROM, doing factory reset (sometimes even system formats) before each ROM installation. Everything is working properly but I can't turn on the wifi and bluetooth.

Any idea or solution? Thank you very much!

Just to let you know that I finally managed to solve my problem with WiFi and Bluetooth. I got a backup of the 'persist' partition from a colleague's Z9 mini that worked perfectly and restored it in my device via TWRP.

RAW format image caputure

hi guys,

Since Nubia Z9 Mini runs on Android 5.0 (Lollipop version) with latest Camera 2 APIs with Manual control over camera, would like to know if the default Camera App supports Image capturing in RAW format.

Also can we use third party application like Camera FV-5 which supports RAW format image capturing feature in Nubia Z9 Mini,

Since you guys are users of Nubia Z9 Mini, pls. confirm this for me..

Thanks in advance..

Problem with Nubia Z9 mini

I've had this phone for 1 month and installed this ROM - http://xdaforums.com/general/rooting-roms/rom-nubia-z9-mini-nx511j-rom-twrp-t3142204

Phone was working perfectly fine this morning but I noticed it had only about 30% battery left so I tried to charge it and it wouldn't charge? Tried computer cable, original Nubia cable and even others and nothing charged the phone. So decided to restart the phone to see if this fixed it and now the phone is just stuck on Nubia home screen :(. Can't restart or turn off or anything.... If i press volume down and power button it makes the screen print/camera sound and that's all i can do.

I'm not the most technical with all the mobile software stuff ect but can manage if guided

Also the phone is becoming really hot

Would greatly appreciate some help with this

thanks
[ZTE Nubia Z9 Mini Questions & Answers] Adiseshanaik:
I have a different problem here :( . I had stock ROM (India) when I purchased. Very laggy. I rooted, loaded TWRP, put MIUI-6, it was better, all working, but a little laggy too. Later put NX511J_CNCOMMON_V3.53_N@VIN. The ROM is good (faster, very clean and clear voice, faster wifi etc...) but later found data not working. I read somewhere that the ROM may not be suitable for Indian version. When I want to load back the backup of MIUI-6, I am unable to boot in recovery mode. Only Nubia logo appears with all combination of switches. I am able to enter into recovery menu (Vol- and power). When I select "boot into recovery mode", only Nubia logo appears. I saw the directories in the PC, there is no TWRP directory in the internal storage. I tried to once again load TWRP, in the PC I get everything o.k, but in the phone, it strucks at recovery screen, and hangs. I have to press vol- and power to reboot again. It reboots o.k. Now, how do I get into TWRP recovery? Is there anyway to make data working with the present ROM? I tried all, like, draining the battery ...... etc.... not helping. Some information in this regard will be of great help.
[ZTE Nubia Z9 Mini Questions & Answers] MShahi07:
I have tried everything possible as below.

As the above case, I am also using Indian version of Z9 Mini. I have flashed TWRP and then flashed MIUI6 & 7 and after that I came back to original rom through backup. Then after that, once again I came to MIUI7, after that when I tried to came to original rom, I can't. So I have downloaded last ROM from N@VIN , that is 3.61 . I that, my sim cards were not detecting. After that, when I tried to open TWRP , I can't. Just Nubia logo screen. After that I tried One Click Root Tool to flash TWRP. At that time , when my phone gone for rebooting , it's gone. Now whenever I tried to boot the phone or boot into bootloader , only that nubia logo screen appears. When I tried to flash through fastboot , device is not detecting. Why so ? . No partitions are seen on computer . I have tried all above steps , but no help . When I tried that fastboot flashable ROM by vijay2 , phone reboots to bootloader and in computer, it flashes everything. But after reboot , it is as same as before . What to do ? . If it is the case of missing driver , then please give me a link for it.

i too had faced the same problem in my indian version.

1. download nubia recovery tools

2. install the tool in your PC

3. make sure you have your rom backup you used when phone was working well

4. copy the contents of recovery and boot images to the directory of the nubia recovery, go to recovery then copy to the nubia NX511J folder.

5. run nubia emergency tools as admin then go to recovery while the phone is in fastboot mode and under emode.

6. use the recovery and the phone will reboot normally.

Hello guys, I hard brick my nubia z9 mini (chineese version). The phone is not responding to anything (power button press at the same time that volume +, I can't disconnect the battery cause it is screwed inside and I don't have tools to unscrewed it). Pc recognize the phone as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM4) so I think it still as a chance to recovery but I don't know how, I've already try a few stuff:

- QFIL : but it was a problem about Sahara that failed

- ZTEMT ToolStudio(Common) 4.4.58 : but in ComPorts the qualcomm thing is there but not when I go to eMMCDownload, nothing appear

- nubia recovery tool : but recovery work once and then it failed (the phone still not gave any sign of life)

I've installed drivers for qualcomm devices version 2.0.8.7

HI all,

I have a similar problem with my phone. In my case, its an NX510J.

Everything started when i wiped cache and data from Recovery, to give the phone to my girlfriend. After that i reboot, but phone did nothing.

After trying and trying, i decided to reinstall ROM, but after that phone gets stuck on the logo that appears after all the images of the nubia intro.

Ive tryed the same with several roms, incluiding Cyanogen and MIUI, in the case of cyanogen, it starts to enter system, but then it suddenly reboots, and cyanogen starts again and again in a loop.

In the case of MIUI, it installs without a problem, but once installed, it boots to MIUI but phone get into a loop trying to start, reboots and so until it gets out of battery.

What should i try next???

Problem Solved

Same things happened to my GF's mobile(Nubia Z9 Mini Indian version). It got stuck at boot screen. Here is what I did and it worked for me!

Download Stock rom from official Nubia source - NX511J-update.zip

You need to enter recovery mode. To do that, Switch off the mobile and press Power+Vol up. In case you aren't able to switch off mobile since you got stuck, let the phone completely discharge and switch off. Once its off, connect to power supply. Just Before connecting to power supply, press and hold volume up button and connect to power supply. Now the phone starts and enters recovery mode

In recovery mode, select "install update from adb"

Connect mobile to laptop and run

adb sideload NX511J-update.zip

(Alternatively you can put ROM zip on SD card and install it from there. But for me, SD card method didn't work. It got stuck at "Verifying update" step).

Once done, reboot the phone

In case it got stuck in boot screen, reboot again. You are good to go!
