---------- Post added at 06:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 AM ----------

Hi,

I have upgraded my Nubia Z11 to the 304 international ROM.

Mainly because I wanted the Android 7.1.1

Can, I, now return to the Chinese ROM?

Should I just flash the ROM? (Like I did, moving from the Chinese to the International using TWRP)
[Nubia Z11 Guides, News, & Discussion] TeslaTR:
As i know chinese rom is based on android 6 and international rom is based on android 7. You can not flash phone back to android 6 based chinese rom after update.

Hello,

I managed to update my phone, but I'm a little lost. I can not find the system that allows to lock apps in the background. Is there still?

Press left menu button. Shows the apps running that moment. Slide down the app that you want to lock.
[Nubia Z11 Guides, News, & Discussion] chris974du28:
Great, thank you. I still have a question, on my old rom I had a password to start my phone. Even if it restarted twice, I had a security that no longer seems to be activated or not.

And I can not use smilies in SMS with google keyboard

A new update has come via ota. it's v3.05. Unfortunately as always i cant install this small (62,5 MB) update. It downloads, reboots to TWRP and asks for a pattern lock. You can not install update. Anyone could manage?

Addition: When i chose the "continue without allowing the modify of TWRP" and reboot i tired to install update again. Update was successful. Now the version of my rom is v3.05

help! my device is bricked for some reason. The phone's battery was very low and eventually it died, i then tried to charge it and then nothing happened. I plugged it in my computer and its being recognized as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM30). I didnt even do anything, it has the latest official international ROM since the last month. any ideas?

Hi,

I have the 3.05 ROM.

I tried to install the 2.71 Chinese version using my OTG drive....

All went well but after the Be yourself screen it asked for password in order to log in to Android....

Nothing helped... even - default_password.

At a certain point it prompted that within 8 password tries he will wipe the data...

I stopped and re-installed the 3.05 and got my phone back...

Any ideas about this password issue?

BTW,

installing the 2.71 version deleted my TWRP and I had to use the normal recovery mode.
[Nubia Z11 Guides, News, & Discussion] TeslaTR:
I lived same issue while using 3.05 version. I accidently set a password for phone at: "settings/Security/ (first option) lock the phone with screen password". After i selected that option i could never get rid of it. I disabled that option, made a factory reset but nothing worked. I couldn't even change that password. I think you had to use your old screen password. After a full wipe, i could get rid of that password taht starts android.

---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 PM ----------

Once i lived the same problem with my LG G2. I let my phone at charge for some hours and i could turn it on by loooooong pressing power button. Really long press. It turned on suddenly.

Hi, I'm on android 7.0 and would like to know if I can go back to android version 6.0?

Hi,

Is there any Chinese ROM for the Nubia Z11, that can work with Android 7?
[Nubia Z11 Guides, News, & Discussion] maKv:
Try this one.

http://ui.nubia.cn/rom/detail/29

Development version.
[Nubia Z11 Guides, News, & Discussion] duvdeil:
Hi,

As I am not in China I can't download the ROM.

I tried the 2.71 that loaded but I was stuck in the enter password for Android to start screen...

Do you have another link to the developer version?

And,

Would I get the official version by OTA?

I do not want to work with the BETA one.

I want the official.

If I could solve the password issue - I would try the official 2.71 version and take it from there.
[Nubia Z11 Guides, News, & Discussion] duvdeil:
Hi,

My Nubia Z11 using the international 3.05 ROM stopped downloading Google play store updates.

All updates are in download pending state and nothing happens...

Any idea?

Hi,

I added password to log in and now I am stuck on my Be Yourself screen...

How can I regain the phone functionality?
[Nubia Z11 Guides, News, & Discussion] siukeungli:
you need to format the data partition in TWRP from international ROM which encrypted the data partition
[Nubia Z11 Guides, News, & Discussion] duvdeil:
Hi,

Thanks.

Due to other issues I had to wipe data and succeeded to install the 2.71.

However I am now stuck without Gapps...

I tried to install "gapps-601-20160709_signed", but it failed to load.

Any Gapps fit for this ROM?

Thanks!
[Nubia Z11 Guides, News, & Discussion] siukeungli:
ve you tried grant full access to all gapps under the security settings? Or you might try the mod rom https://pan.baidu.com/s/1QGNZjJJDC3AAoUwOFQQWgg

from: https://bbs.nubia.cn/thread-1225425-1-1.html

I haven't tried this yet but the mod rom advanced settings should have come with the google frameworks..if you know how to read chinese :eek: , then you might copy the extracted google.zip from this rom to twrp with the originals..good luck.

The international rom 305 really sucks, NFC not working (google pay not working), cannot switch on data roaming.....:silly:

---------- Post added at 09:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------

btw, 2.71 should be 7.1 right? have you tried opengapps arm64 7.1?
[Nubia Z11 Guides, News, & Discussion] duvdeil:
Hi,

After wiping Data and cache, I could install 2.71 that took me back to Android 6.0.1..

I did not try any Gapps apart from what I wrote..
[Nubia Z11 Guides, News, & Discussion] TeslaTR:
Any one having the issue about updating apps via playstore? I can not update or install any app instantly. I select update or install and let the phone. After a few hours, i see that app installs or updates. Sometimes playstore shows that i have 9 apps to update. I choose update and after one night 4-5 of them was updated and others are still waiting for download.

I wiped all caches including playstore, google play services or google framework but useless. Rebooting phone was working for a while but after a while nothing works. I can not install or update an app whenever i want.

Once i made factory reset to phone and everything worked well. But i do not want to do factory reset and install all apps again.
[Nubia Z11 Guides, News, & Discussion] duvdeil:
Hi,

Happened to me with 3.05.

Did all that was requested - No help.

Done Factory reset and after installing 3.05 - it came back and worked.

Then yesterday evening - again downloading playstore updates was stuck - Pending download.

this morning it just came back and started working...

??

It seems like a general problem with Google Play Store..
[Nubia Z11 Guides, News, & Discussion] TeslaTR:
Playstore works flawless for a while after factory reset. But it begins not to download or update after a short while. Same happened to me. You will see after a while you will have to wait too long for download or update.
[Nubia Z11 Guides, News, & Discussion] TeslaTR:
My problem was solved. I really am not sure how it was solved but the problem was solved right after i began to use SD Maid Pro app. It is a cleaner app. I could not update or install any app via playstore. Apps were stuck at downloading downloading downloading but nothing was happening. Now apps can be downladed and updated.
[Nubia Z11 Guides, News, & Discussion] tuddu:
Have you succedded in understanding wich option on SD MAID solved the problem? Which function? Is the update problem still gone away or returned?
[Nubia Z11 Guides, News, & Discussion] TeslaTR:
Actually, I used only "fast mode" of SD Maid Pro and cleaned empty directories and temporary files in "system clean" section. I do not know if this app did the job but all updates can be done flawless like phone had a factory reset. No problem on updating or installing any app via playstore. They're being downloaded instantly.

hi ! following my first post on xda in wrong thread ... please help

i own a nubia z11 nx531j, and read all infos here, but can't find answer to my problem :

my android version is 7.1.1 and i would to install custom rom (for sure a rom with no google services ...)

i know for sure that i have to flash twrp , but before this i have to unlock the bootloader, and this is MY PROBLEM

it is 3 hours i'm looking for answers but can't find anything good

indeed , the fastboot command "oem unlock" is not allowed, maybe due to my 7.1.1 version ? i'm not sure i ll be allowed to downgrade, risks of losing imei ?

please, help , and sorry for my poor english

Does anyone elses device show a 4000mah battery in accubattery or is it just mine ? I'm on v3.05
[Nubia Z11 Guides, News, & Discussion] jmarshallh:
auto-answer :

i found how to unlock the bootloader ..

the key point is that when you click on "allow oem unlock", the toggle becomes green but don't stay green if you're going out and re-enter dev options !

you have to click on the line and not on the toggle itself, and then you have to enter your pin !

then go back to bootloader and i have to type "fastboot oem unlock-go "

and voila !

ty

next step , use custom rom

[Nubia Z11 Guides, News, & Discussion] TeslaTR:
Hello. I found out something about not updating or installing apps via playstore. I was using nova launcher and as you know nova doesn't allow playstore to add shortcuts to screen. But nubia launcher allows. I was getting update and inmstall issue again and i switched my phone to Nubia launcher again (in settings/applications/three dots on corner/default applications settings) and whoila! all apps started to update. I saw all the shortcuts on screen. playstore started to inform me about "there is already a shortcut for ****** app" for all apps i installed. Then all apps were updated again.

If you have update issue on your phone and using a different launcher, just switch back to Nubia for updates.

I was using Pixel Launcher and I had the same issue with Apps udpates from Playstore.

Nothing solved this problem. Different or stock launcher, deleting all caches included system via boot, cleaning disk... Nothing. I'll buy One plus 6 whenever it comes to my country.

Version 2.75

Hi,

I was suing the international ROM 3.05 and had problems...

Seemed not stable, so I decided to go back to the Chinese ROM 2.75.

I did the factory reset and installed the 2.75 ROM.All went well.

Then I installed the Gapps -601-20160709_signed. (Could do it only using the 3.0.2 TWRP.

And ,

So far I like it!
[Nubia Z11 Guides, News, & Discussion] TeslaTR:
I also turned back to Chinese Rom with latest gapps. I'm happy with my phone now.
[Nubia Z11 Guides, News, & Discussion] duvdeil:

Hi,

Could you, please, give the link to the latest Gapps that is compatible with this Z11 ROM?

Thanks!
[Nubia Z11 Guides, News, & Discussion] TeslaTR:
https://opengapps.org/

Choose ARM64, Android 6.0, nano. Then you can add gmail, google keep etc like i did. Stable and works perfect. If you installed any gapps before, do not forget to install this via TWRP and clean dalvik and cache after new install.
[Nubia Z11 Guides, News, & Discussion] duvdeil:

Hi guys I bought my device and it came with Android 7.1.1 installed wit UI5

I noticed that the version Android 7.1.1 have some issues such as sudden closing of the apps and Instagram videos are not playing with latest Instagram update, Also it is quiet slower than the UI4 version specially in booting up. I think a little bet of heat issue is there also

Can I downgrade my phone to Android 6.0 with the older UI4 version? and which file to select that support Arabic languages and Google Apps
[Nubia Z11 Guides, News, & Discussion] TeslaTR:
If you downgrade to an international rom, you wont need gapps. It contains google apps. But if you prefer to use chinese rom which supports all languages, you can download it from:

http://romdownload.nubia.com/Z11/V2.75/NX531J-update.zip

You can download latest gapps from:

https://opengapps.org/ (choose arm64 / android 6.0 / nano)

You can use TWRP and here is a guide to do it: https://bit.ly/2t3EbEp

After you install twrp phone will need to wipe all data and format disc. You will lose everything. I recommend you to have an OTG usb drive and copy all files to it. You can install rom via OTG usb. I did it that way.
[Nubia Z11 Guides, News, & Discussion] ZeroNEX:
thanks for the reply

I downgraded to the international ROM V2.03 with UI4 and it's much faster and stable. The only thing I noticed is that there is no search bar in the setting menu which is not a big thing but it would provide a better and faster access to the setting by searching.

From your experience, Do you feel it would be much better to downgrade to the Chinese version and it might give me a faster and more stable phone performance??
[Nubia Z11 Guides, News, & Discussion] TeslaTR:
Latest Chinese ROM is incredibly fast and very stable. You also have many features that are not in international roms. For example IR remote control app has almost every brands without any commercial. Or you can record your voice calls including other side. Startup time on chinese ROM is almost half of the international ROMs. You just remove chinese apps after install. And get into NeoSafe app. It controls phone very aggresive about battery and startup.Just open neosafe and in battery settings disable energy safe modes and "clean apps that consumes much power" settings. By this your apps wont be shot down and you keep getting normal notifications from those apps.
[Nubia Z11 Guides, News, & Discussion] ZeroNEX:
quite the same of my current running version I got the voice recording with the IR remote is functioning too. The only thing I dislike is that there is not search bar when I enter the setting menu. I have to go and browse through all setting to reach what I want .

Would you let me know if the Chinese version do have the search bar ? if yes I will flash my phone to this version today

thanks

[Nubia Z11 Guides, News, & Discussion] freemanrw:
I managed to go from International ROM (v3.05) to latest Chinese ROM (v2.75) by using the simple local updates procedure.

I was surprised to see that I could go from Android Nougat (7.1.1) to Android Marshmallow (6.0.1) but I guess that since both ROM are on Nubia UI 5.0, it is possible to switch between them easily.

After my switch to the Chinese ROM, I noticed that my phone was much more snappier and I had no more issues with automatic updates from Play Store.

I got back all the apps I lacked in the international ROM such as IR remote, Phone call recording, better power management with NeoSafe, etc.

Phone boots very quickly too.

Be aware!

If you decide to do the same thing, you should first disable all security locks on your phone (PIN, fingerprints, etc...).

Otherwise, you might get locked out of Android because of the annoying Android boot screen lock, at restart. Even if you input the correct password.

In case you get locked out, your only option is a new & clean install, using TWRP to install Google services on the Chinese ROM (instructions are available in this forum).

Hello. I'm using Nubia Chinese rom 2.75 and all my problems are gone. But this: I want to open link from a whatssapp mesaage with youtube or amazon app etc but it is opened only with browser. I could not find any way to make phone ask me how to open that link. I want to open youtube links in youtube app for example, not in browser. Do you have same issue?
[Nubia Z11 Guides, News, & Discussion] dany_:
After being quite disappointed by the international ROM 3.05 (Play Store issue, missing apps, unfinished functions etc.) I switched to Chinese ROM 2.75 with no problems. And I was happy at first.

Then after flashing the gapps I was able to set up my google account, but I don't get an icon for Google Play.

I was able to access Google Play by their website in my browser, but I received errors while trying to download apps. So without the Google Play Icon it seems not to be an option.

Do somebody know what went wrong during installation of gapps (open_gapps-arm64-6.0-nano-20180702)?

Then I tried to flash the gapps again. But now the stock recovery always refuse to flash it. At arount 25% it keeps saying that it can't flash this install-package.

Please help me, because I'm left with the Chinese ROM without Google Play.

I don't like to root because I'm using apps which will not work on rooted phones.

And I don't know how this apps are acting on phones with an alternate recovery. Would be TWRP an option for me? But I'm scared that some apps will refuse working and I don't know if and how I ever could go back to stock recovery.

Do somebody know an answer to this questions and would be so kind to share it with me.

And most of all, what I could do to get the Google Play to work for me on Chinese 2.75?
[Nubia Z11 Guides, News, & Discussion] TeslaTR:
If you used twrp to install chinese rom, then use twrp to install gapps. You can wipe dalvik and cache before and after gapps install. This may help. I never lived any issue about gapps install. Try to download gapps again from https://opengapps.org/ and install it.
[Nubia Z11 Guides, News, & Discussion] freemanrw:
I am not bothered with this issue and I don’t think it’s related to Nubia’s ROMs. I have read other users complaining of this issue with Android stock ROM.

You can always use a 3rd-party app («*Open link with*» app, for example) that will help you force open the links in the app you want.
