[Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiTrOwow:
Got the new mainboard for my ZUK(suck phone)..

Guess what, it had a chinees android on it, ZUI 2.0.080.. Android 6.0.1. There was NO SUCH option to oem unlock in developer options (great!!) I tried to root it using KingRoot. I knew this wasn't going to work so it indeed did not. Next step and the last step.. QFIL in order to get rid of this **** android version which won't even work right here because they use other 4G bands..

I did this:

It's like the ***same on any other phone.. But just for the hell of it because i DID not want to brick it..

But It happend to me the first time. Lesson learned, never buy a mainboard on aliexpress AGAIN!

After QFIl was completed the phone was stuck in a super fast bootloop only showing the "powered by android" logo. So I tried another one from lenovo-russian or sth..

When I connect the phone now it opens up a 127mb sized drive with the following contents in it:
