MIUI is hated here??

Buahahahahahahaha

On the devices it has/had been successfully ported to, it was one of the most popular ROMs there is

---------- Post added at 08:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 AM ----------

What does that have to do with anything?? He posted, he opens himself up for a reply, agreeing or not, just like the rest of us
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
Popular among sheep and iPhone people. Ask any developer what they think of miui. It really is the running joke of the Android world.

Trust me they have earned the Hate they get from people here.
[Nexus 6  General] GenoAndroid:
I've never liked ios but I love miui. It's about the option to have something different.
[Nexus 6  General] :
What shocks me is the fact that people usually buy Nexus phones to escape the clutches of bloated, lagging slow updating OEM skins, and here are a group of Nexus owners actually wanting that, a closed source rom that is now (with N dev previews in the wild) starting to TEST Android 6 based builds.

W....T......F?
[Nexus 6  General] tomzefi:
The reality is, whatever the opinions are no one cares. If someone wants miui on their phone and can have it then so be it. Why people care about what others do is beyond me.

Just a matter of honor really. To each their own.

Hello,

As I've searched and sworn the last couple of days searching for a CD slot holder for the Z3 which won't press the buttons on the site, and managing to find one today, I figured I might as well share, perhaps someone else is trying to find the same thing.

The only place I was able to find it was on Amazon DE and on Ebay (same seller, though from Amazon they wouldn't deliver to my country).

I did find one other variant from kwmobile but quality seemed worse.

Anyway, hope it helps.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] DuckDodger70:
i pretty much found one on my first go of trying, its more of a universal one but holds my phone perfect and securly from the bottom (i have a case around mine so buttons is not a problem) and doesnt block my sleep/wake button at all. Yeah i covers my camera button but meh aint gonna be taking any selfies when im driving =P

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/29142693...49&var=590525561976&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Cheers
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] turbare:
Well, my gripe was that my current one was sometimes pushing the volume button hard enough to activate it :)

Still haven't received the one I mentioned, but looking forward to it :D

Looking at your link, my current one is pretty much like that, it's this one here (well, used to be, mine is cd slot, not air vent, but it seems Amazon changed the item or something)
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] peps984:
I recently bought the one from BrainWizz (I can't post links). I lock my phone between camera and volume buttons and even without any case it doesn't touch them
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] DuckDodger70:
yeah that would be a pain, i guess its one of the things that you have to look out for especially if you dont have a case.

out of interest the one you purchased, are you able to use the headphone jack while in the holder? thats the only reason why i got mine i cause i sometimes plug into my car so i can listen to music incase i forget my ipod.

Cheers
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] turbare:
It hasn't arrived yet but I don't think so. I never considered that since I connect the phone to the car via a Bluetooth which goes into the aux port of the car.
[Xperia Z3 Accessories] turbare:
On a second thought, I've had it for 2 weeks now, quality is crap, I definitely do not recommend it.

Was able to wipe OS on my phone, now only ZUK Recovery menu is available. Boot stops showing white ZUK logo on screen.

ADB does not recognize the device.

Is it totally bricked now? or does there exist a solution?
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I-Immortal:
I think you can still flash a factory image with the recovery, but I don't know how. By the way, how do you acces the fasboot menu ? Because I think it is still present on my bricked Z1 but I tried nearly every button combination to acces it, but never succeed...
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nordream:
I get to the ZUK Recovery menu by holding down both volume + and - for 10 sec at the moment phone vibrates at startup.

Hopefully there is a way to flash a recovery image. In the ZUK recovery menu there is an option to install update.zip, but I can't find a way to push the file to the device.
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tndb:
Download qpst and the zui rom file and flash it and you should be good to go

qpst

https://mega.nz/#!4tom3DqL!4a-rRcLef1yS6HJSrBfne_-r9atg6yF3kI_HW8lDaPY

password: bbs.zuk.cn

zui rom file

https://mega.nz/#!chQkEAwR!IHeYRxWx38QdML6VxjPdVz08BgbZD-Z-xVuSG150qPU

Z1 usb driver (can be troublesome if doing this in windows 10 so try and use a win7 machine)

https://mega.nz/#!l8pVHIpT!UkcW3Jg4B7YilDjZatvLqGBi_R4vVUYVdkrsUL_Ve9k

If you dont know how to flash then ill try and guide you

After you installed qpst, you will get a bunch of programs, start QFIL from the qpst folder

Click browse on the programmer path row and select "prog_emmc_firehose_8974.mbn" and then click browse on the search path row and select the xml file + the other patch file which comes after it.

When thats done, make sure phone is off and then hold vol+ while you are inserting usb cable into phone and QFIL should then detect phone, you may need to select port and be quick with it, took me a few tries before I got it right so just take out the cable and turn off and try again if you fail to make them connect.

Not only you need to select comport, you also need to press the download button aswell as soon as possible or else phone will continue booting as normal

If everything went alrite then you soon got ZUI flashed on your phone and can install recovery etc

Good luck!
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nordream:
Thanks very much for this guidance and files, so this will be a serial communucation, and I will not need the MTP USB to work? I have trouble with that driver, tried two windows 7 computers without luck.

I will try asap, phone is a christmas present so I'm in a kind off hurry:). Plan was to flash ZUI to CM12.1...
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tndb:
Nah no need for MTP :)

As soon as you got zui into phone, you can convert back to cyanogen if you prefer that one. Look at modacos guide for example :) http://www.modaco.com/forums/topic/375804-convert-z1-from-zukui-to-cyanogen-os/

When you got zui loaded onto phone again, its in chinese. On the first screen you are met with just press the button in the bottom (on screen), then press cogwheel (which is the settings), scroll down to yet another cogwheel in here which should be below a lock icon, then press second option in here and then the top option to change language to english incase you cant make out the chinese :D
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nordream:
Christmas is saved ! I'm back in business :) Thanks to tndb !

But last problem is to flash to CM. These steps below are unclear for me, tried "Wipe Data" and then "install using adb" but the sideload command fails with error "no device"

Select the option to wipe the device (important!)

Select the install update / from USB option

Type 'adb sideload z1.cyanogen.convert.signed.zip'

There are several Wipe options data or partitions?

Don't get any update / from USB option in the recovery menu. Only install using adb, but it fails
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tndb:
Not sure where you got stuck?

If you already are as far as in cyanogen recovery, then its prob that your phone isnt detected in device manager as it may be detected as yet another device. Install driver again and then run the "adb sideload z1.cyanogen.convert.signed.zip" command (make sure the zip is in the same folder as your adb working folder)

otherwise read below :)

Did you manage to get into bootloader mode by typing "adb reboot bootloader"?

If you are already in bootloader mode, have you checked device manager if phone is detected here?

Have you made sure bootloader is unlocked aswell? Check with "fastboot -i 0x2b4c oem device-info" and if its still locked then type "fastboot -i 0x2b4c oem unlock"

and then "fastboot -i 0x2b4c boot z1.recovery.testkeys.img" to load cyanogen recovery.

Let me know if you still cant get it working, if you got google hangouts just pm me with details and ill help you from there :)
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nordream:
Thanks tndb, you put me in the right direction again, did a "adb kill-server" before adb sideload command and voila the sideload command connected and soon I'm ready to wrap the christmas present.:)

[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planet X:
If you can boot in fasboot mode and you are able to connect to your device from your pc you can just download the fastboot flashable stock image from Cyanogen Inc. Unzip it and flash it with fastboot. There are a a lot of guides how to do that on xda.
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Extentho:
Can you give me some links please? thank you very much. Qufil seems not to work for me. What is Canon inc, and where i can donwload the fastboot flashable stock image for lenovo zuk z1? And most important, how do i do that?
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planet X:
Download the fast signed image of COS 12.1 here http://builds.cyngn.com/factory/ham/...d-fastboot.zip

Unzip it

Open cmd or terminal

Go to the unzipped folder

Execute this step by step:

fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn

fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash rpm rpm.mbn

fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn

fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash dbi sdi.mbn

fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash splash splash.img

fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash tz tz.mbn

fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash persist persist.img

This will restore your bootloader to stock Cyanogen OS. It will remain unlocked. You can add cache.img, system.img and userdata yourself I guess. Otherwise Google for flash fastboot nexus. That should give you an idea how to flash with fastboot.
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Extentho:
Tried the first command and i got this: [IMG="image"]http://imageshack.com/a/img910/3050/h2Ehs6.png[/IMG]

I think the computer doesn t see the phone, because when i try command adb reboot bootloader in cmd i get device not found.

I have in installed the universal adb driver for android, but still doesn t work.
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planet X:
You have had an answer from the phone. So there was a connection. You can always test beforehand with the command fastboot -i 0x4b2c devices. It should then let you see the serial number of your phone.

But your answer was device is locked. That means you still have an locked bootloader. For to be able to use adb you have to add 0x4b2c to your usb_adb.ini file. Please look a bit more to the solutions that already have been given in the other threads. To unlock your bootloader you need to use the toolkit. You will find that in the development thread. The toolkit: http://xdaforums.com/zuk-z1/development/win-zuk-z1-toolkit-0-1-alpha-t3235964

You will than have the possibility to flash a TWRP recovery too. With that you could also just flash the full rom as a zip.
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Extentho:
I have played a while with this tool, and now the phone boots only into zuk logo(not the cyanogen anymore), also now i have access only to recovery and fastboot. Think i ve messed it up. Tried to sideload the stock rom and worked up to 47% with this tool, then gave me error on the phone. So, there is a working connection between phone and pc but i don t know what i can do. However i can t unlock the bootloader , when i try, it shows press any key and nothing happens. When i check the devices connected to the pc in adb tool, it shows me nothing. The only connection i was able to put up, was only sideload update.

None of the other commands is working. I can t install twrp recovery, i can, t unlock bootloader. I can t do anything.

I was able to use some fastboot commands in fastboot mode however. I managed to reboot phone in android using command in zuk tool from pc. When tried to flash stock rom in fastboot with the command from the tool, i got the same error : DEVICE IS LOCKED . CANNOT FLASH IMAGES
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planet X:
Thank you for the information. You should be able to flash the stock Cyanogen recovery with fastboot. Than you could do a factory reset in that recovery. That's all you need to have a working phone again. But with that recovery you could also flash the signed zip from Cyanogen.
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Extentho:
I CANNOT flash the stock rom using fastboot. I have tried, many times. Also, the USB debugging was not activate befor the bricking. The only option i can use to flash something seems to be sideload.

[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planet X:
That's too bad. The stock recovery is the recovery.img inside the zip you have downloaded before. I don't understand how it is possible to brick the device when the bootloader hasn't been unlocked? Did you mess with your system files before? The first thing to do before do anything is unlock and flash a recovery. So you will always have a way to recover your device. But anyway, with the QFIL tool you should be able to recover your device too. I just have no experience with that tool. I hope for you that someone else will be able to help you with that.
[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Extentho:

[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Extentho:
Ok. Case closed. I managed to flash the stock rom via sideload. So, I put phone in sideload. Then, i used the command [adb] SIDELOAD A ZIP FILE from zuk toolkit.

Hi guys,

I bricked somehow my phone this friday and I still didn't fix it, I'm lost, I don't know what to do...

So, I had CM since the third release of the OS, almost everything was ok the whole time, the passage from 5 to 6 run smoothly, but this friday I did the update as usual and the phone didn't want to start.

It shows the boot logo (android and zuk), then a black screen, sometimes it shows the android "install system update" during 0.1s maybe even less and then endlessly a black screen and sometimes a grey.

I can't have access to anything it always do boot logo > black screen (> android message) > black screen from time to time a grey screen during 0.2s

Add doesn't work either, the device is unauthorized and fast boot doesn't work at all.

I really need some help
