[ZTE Zmax Pro Questions & Answers] Filthydirtfox:
I hope this is the right place to post this, please feel free to hate on me if not. Kinda new here.

Has there been any word on rooting or at least unlocking the bootloader on the ZMax Pro? Ever since the B14 update my rear camera doesn't work. Has anybody else experienced this? The flash as a flashlight either, which is very scary in the dark! I have to use the screen light oldskool-style! And of course I already tried factory resetting and everything...

I feel with it rooted at least I'd have a fighting chance at fixing it, already violated any warranty taking it apart to make sure somehow the connectors didn't get shook loose.

Or if at least the bootloader would give me a start. The camera, when it worked before the update, was nice for my macrophotography.

And while I don't think it's possible, I figured I'd ask.. Is there a way to downgrade?

Thanks, any info is appreciated.. Even if it's just to say "wrong board, n00b!" :)

Starting to see this when I start the phone, and Android pay no longer works ?

Any thoughts? Not sure what's going on...
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] supacrazyguy42:
Edit:

My bad I read the message wrong, did you unlock the bootloader? Android pay not working is normal for an unlocked bootloader.

Although mine says "and cannot be trusted" not "and may not work properly"

Was it used? And assuming you didn't unlock the bootloader or buy it used in this state, I'd get in touch with Lenovo/Moto
[Moto Z Questions & Answers] JohnnyCanuck:
I have the exact same error. There are pages and pages of occurrences on Lenovo's support forums. This is not user caused and has been happening to phones with no attempts to unlock the bootloader and/or root.

If you have a Verizon phone, there's a fix. For all others, needs to be sent out for a cable reflash. I would love it if someone came up with a fix so I don't have to send out my phone, but haven't seen anything yet.

Hi xda users,

I am very pleased to present OLD NOUGAT FTFs Google Drive Mirror + Patched Kernels.

I spend lots of time and bandwidth for you, so please hit Thanks :fingers-crossed: button and comment below..

Read First

This in NOT Backup TA Partition or Bootloader Unlock thread.

FTFs on this thread are original STOCK rom files.

If your device BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED, you can use Patched Kernel if you want.

If your device BOOTLOADER LOCKED, you can NOT use Patched Kernel.

You do NOT have to USE patched kernel, just flash FTF. Use like a stock ROM.

I build Patched Kernels for ROOT, TWRP, MAGISK users.

:fingers-crossed:

How to install busybox properly without getting bootloop?
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
What do yo mean "Battery drain patched", it is stock FTF and patched kernel only has DM-Verity, Sony RIC, DRM fix patch.

-You can select FTF (single sim user select E6653, dual sim user select E6633)

*due to the kernel customizations, fingerprint may not work on E6603 and E6683*

Did you try?

Awesome work here! Everything feels smoother and battery life is *thank goodness* better.

Anyway, I noticed I cannot uninstall/remove apps thru uninstaller. What could be the problem?
[Xperia Z5 General] sulthan_kkdi:
Suppose I flash E6633 32.3.A.0.378 in my E6683 does it support VoLTE in India? Also does it support fingerprint?
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
DISCONNECT internet. Updated apps must be uninstalled twice (2 times). Once uninstall update, then original app. Uninstall "sony software update apk" then uninstall others.. You have to ROOT your device first..
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
Yes, E6633. No official update for E6683 yet E6633 works well. I dont know VoLTE support, sorry :/

You have to try and notify me. If you have LOCKED device Fingerprint might work.
[Xperia Z5 General] stipi69:
@ sceryavuz some users reported bad battery on nougat, and offered solutions so i asked, if u know about this. Nevermind tried it ot for myself ;)

So i managed to install it with flashtool but i did not get supersu to install binaries, reflashed 4 times, it just did not stick. (no su binaries)

I followed procedure and used files from the link.

So i tried rom for two days without root and it is very very smooth and polished, battery is great, waiting for weekend so i can repeat all once more.

Can i please make request to you if you can build flashable rooted.zip rom it makes life easier for users like me ;) i would apreciate it

Greetings
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
What is the TWRP output(error) when you try to flash? SuperSU zip file works well for me. If you cant figured out. I can make supersu patched kernel for you!?
[Xperia Z5 General] stipi69:
I will try couple of times this weekend and atach error outputs.

So you can see what happened.

If this helps, su binaries was installed combined with androplus kernel_v43 but then i had no cell signall. Your kernel works, but no su binaries.

If you made custom kernel for me it would be awesome, but first it is up to me to break some eggs :)
[Xperia Z5 General] sceryavuz:
dual or single sim?

Nevermind, I update the folder for both. You can download.

Thanks
[Xperia Z5 General] stipi69:
O, i see yo updated it, it is kinda tricky, when u open google drive folder it shows last modified 20.03.2017 and i thoght, maybe u are busy :) then i tried to download once more and i see NEW date 25.03.2017 for single sim - patched goodies, so everyone, GIVE IT A GO, i sure will tonight :D

SUPERSU NOW WORKS FOR ME ON SINGLE SIM, THANK YOU

- flashed tft

- did not powerup, entered recovery imidiately

.- powered off from recovery, did not boot up

- flashed single_twrp_supersu boot.img

[Xperia Z5 General] stipi69:
Thank you, oh, you have no idea howmuch this made my free evening on saturday... now it is all about missing xposed...

As far as supersu, now i know for next time, it makes sense if you repack kernel with supersu then there is no need to push it :)

Maybe i should mention that busybox pro settled after first reboot, now it shows it is installed.

Still, i need some files in /system, i will se how this goes. :highfive:

Do you hear the noise when you playback the recorded video through phone itself or PC?

Both actually. I have a feeling it's just the phone's audio recording quality. Although it is quite good, I feel it lacks noise cancellation.

[TouchPad General] W_three:
Doublestuff, bringing this to this thread since I am using your instructions to get this far.

After using the 4/13 nightly and getting setup wizard has stopped I tried the 4/6 as indicated below.

The steps I have taken are to use tptb_v42_win.bat for the toolbox to wipe the data then resize volumes to

--Media: 1024 MB,

--Cache: 200 MB,

--System: 1312 MB,

--Data: the rest of the memory

Then after shutting that down and bringing up the big USB symbol using the volume and power button again to run TWRP_TmpLoad_v03_win.bat and copy the files below into the TWRP folder on the touchpad.

ev_tenderloin-7.1.2-nightly-2017.04.06.zip

open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170415.zip

FLINTMAN-TWRP-touch-data_media-SELINUX-f2fs-3.1.0-0-3-24-17.zip

Once the files were copied over I disconnected from the PC and added to the install in the order above.

The install indicates no MD5 so a check is skipped and seems to proceed to install each of the three zips fine. When I get to the end of that there are two buttons (one to wipe cache/DavLik and the other to Reboot). I tried both with and without the wipe cache before the reboot with the same results.

After the Evervolve logo with the cycling colored letters goes for a few minutes it gets to the setup screen, clicking on either copy settings or start new setup give the error "Setup wizard has stopped, Open app again" then "Setup wizard keeps stopping, close app".

The only difference I can see I resized the Media to 1024 where your instructions indicate 1000 but I cant see that as being any problem though to be honest my knowledge here is limited.

Any ideas for something else to try are appreciated.

----------------------------------------

This part I dont think I am understanding

"but remember later on you still have to load the permanent TWRP with install."
[TouchPad General] nevertells2:
Go have a read at this page in the DevsBase forum if you haven't already. It is discussed that there have been problems with the setup wizard.<Mod Edit: Link removed. Please don't redirect members to other mobile forums. Thanks!>

Also, I see in the discussion there that the nightly builds are now 4/13 so you might try that date build and see if the problem has gone away. I also saw discussed that some folks there were installing older builds that did not have the setup problems and then using TWRP to flash the newest builds. Otherwise, from what you posted, you are doing everything right.

NT
[TouchPad General] DoubleStuff:
As long as the Media is greater than 1000 MB it should be OK.....

Essentially the program TWRP_TmpLoad_v03_win.bat loads TWRP temporarily by using a novacom command to load uImage.TWRP to the HP Touchpad, but you still have to download and have as one of your 3 zips something like this FLINTMAN-TWRP-touch-data_media-SELINUX-f2fs-3.1.0-0-3-24-17.zip, so that you can have a permanent load of TWRP after all is said and done.
[TouchPad General] Seatreader:
Hey guys! Went through all of these steps and got it to boot! However, after it booted for quite a while, it started up the setup wizard, and immediately stops whenever you choose an option, whether it be "Set up as new" or "copy your data."

Is it something I've done wrong? Any help would be appreciated!
[TouchPad General] DoubleStuff:
No your not doing anything wrong, the new nightly builds are going through a particularly buggy phase the last few builds. I am assuming you used the 4-19 nightly. Lets try an earlier Testing build.

If you have time, just for kicks and for testing purposes can you try again but use Flintmans latest testing 3-25 ROM instead of the Evervolv Nightly.

Try this ROM and lets see if it fixes the issue:

http://evervolv.com/static/builds/testing/Queo/ev_tenderloin-7.1.1-testing-2017.03.25.zip

If you notice the user "w_three" had the same issue in an earlier post on this thread....
[TouchPad General] Seatreader:
okay I'll give that a go tonight! I noticed on the release page forums they were talking about how you had to dirty flash the newer roms on and figured that was my problem.

=UPDATE=

Ran as per the instructions with a nice clean install and it booted fine! Takes forever to boot and get through the" finishing touches" but it looks like it's working fine!! Four days ago this tablet was bricked!

Thanks for all the help!
[TouchPad General] W_three:
After letting this rest for a few days I decided to give it another go.

Used the 3/25 zip you posted above DoubleStuff and finally past the set up error. Going through it now. Thanks for posting that Rom.
[TouchPad General] DoubleStuff:
Great! W_three, that you finally got it working, from what I have been reading on devs-base, Open Gapps are only running through 7.1.1, and as of April 4th (4/4) Evervolv nightlies have switched to 7.1.2. ( see pic below ) Some people have a theory that this is causing the set-up wizard to break. To get around this issue, some people have been "clean" flashing an older 3-25 ROM see link to that in post #8 ( or in theory anything before 4/4 nightly ), then "dirty" flashing the newer ROMs on top of that. I am just reporting on what I read, not sure how accurate it is.

See in below screenshot how name changes from 7.1.1 ( green ) to 7.1.2 ( red ).....just sayin'

Just know that this Nougat ROM is still only in Beta, so there will be bugs and lagginess.

As Nevertells2 would tell anybody, JC Sullins KitKat 4.4.4 ROM is probably the most stable.
[TouchPad General] xdakzhf2d:
Setup Wizard fails

My Setup Wizard fails and I see the note below:

*NOTE: as of 4/4 since start of 7.1.2, if your having issues with setup wizard after the install you might want to flash this older ROM instead ( before 4/4 ), then dirty flash a newer ROM

How do I perform this?

How do I flash with a older ROM (before 4/4) and then dirty flash a newer ROM? Can you elaborate?

Thank you in advance.
[TouchPad General] DoubleStuff:
Well underneath that red letter explanation in the Original Post, is a link to a 3-25 ROM, flash that using the alternative method described in OP. That is called a clean install.

Then once you get that going, you can dirty install the current 5-8 ROM, by selecting this once tablet is running:

Settings->About Tablet->Evervolv Updates->Nightly Tab->Refresh, then download the zip, and boot into recovery and flash it. If you don't understand this terse explanation, I have pasted RolandD's How to dirty flash and root video below ( from 1:19 to 3:17 is Dirty Flash )

Dirty Flash Instructions
[TouchPad General] deafasheck:
Hi, Ive ran each step as instructed twice, just to be sure. both times I get only an external sd card selection, no internal card or data selection once files load and I run twerp it installa yet I get a failed to mount data invalid argument. what am I doing wrong?
[TouchPad General] DoubleStuff:
Hello deafasheck, I have been following you on these boards for years, and you always get errors and issue that are different from the norm. LOL

In fact you even call J.C. Sullins by an unusual name ( JC Sullivan ) LOL, but I have seen Nevertells2 correct you a few times, so I think we are good to go there.

As far as your issue, did you load the 3-25 ROM first? Then try to dirty flash the latest nightly? I would like to know more details on the procedure you used. But you maybe in luck, because I think there is another thread today that has a similar ( mount and volume issues ) and RolandD gave him a answer and a few links...

Look HERE at post #1094
[TouchPad General] deafasheck:
Missed a step.

Hi DoubleStuff, yeah I'm way out of my league, but have learned so much in forum, I found out what I done wrong. I didn't move file size in data only moved cashe and system to as close as could to instructions. it fixed right up once I put data size, I noticed cam still inverted, does new ROM resolve that? I'm going back and dirty flash that ROM I ove the size if this, it doesn't take up much space has less bloatware and I use UC browser which is so so Philz kk is best I have tried . but I'm gona toy on this one Ive almost mastered this touchpad insyallations even learning codeing, just not yet.. I do dislike the home launcher, so used to having one like the one in kk or nova. Ive not bricked mine yet! was worried for awhile. but any thing I need to know is on here . thanks for the reply..

im still learning how to post specs of tablet. JC Sullin huh? yeah, Im good on typos. dang laptop mouse jumps around.. well here we go, going to dirty flash newest rom, wish me luck.. thanks..
[TouchPad General] DoubleStuff:
Hello deafasheck, I am glad your learning and taking the advice of Nevertells2 which is "read, my friend, read!!"

Yes the Stock Camera is still inverted, but haven't you heard? That if you go to google play store and download "Open Camera" app it works fine in Nougat, let me know what you think of it. I am glad you figured out your own problem that is telling me you are learning quite a bit since you were a "newbie" in 2014!! :good:

OK deafascheck I wish you luck in your dirty flash download? And your experiment with "Open Camera" and hope you learn how to code at least in BAT and VBS files, because when Oreo ( Android "O" ) comes out we will need to tweek the code for this Alternative method again!! I am doubling down that its called Oreo, hence my Avatar.
[TouchPad General] deafasheck:
Thank you so much, yes got to learn code and terminal commands. on the subject of dirty flash, is that same as loading the via tptb as I did with the permanent files when Initial install ?
[TouchPad General] DoubleStuff:
deafasheck, defasheck, defasheck, come on now we have been studying "dirty flashes" since you were a "newbie" in 2014, and our friend RolandD has made many videos on it....in fact in this ROM alternative thread in post #13 at the bottom of the post is a good video that explains "dirty flashes"....learn it, love it, live it!!! :)

Good Luck in all your learning Deafasheck!!! :highfive:
