Lineage Stock .cn roms

Hi noobington here,

Lineage OS 8.0.0 working ....

Original stock rom 7.1.1 or at least the one supplied from GeekB, stopped working on google store and no maps(tried permissions disabling gapps reboot frustratdom)

Lineage via Tim's comments in this thread is better but 2 sensors not working and stock edge control, camera (the most important!). Has anyone successfully ported apps to this rom for neovision camera?

Now this thread has the .cn rom (MUI5 - what is this?) which I'm assuming i'snt stock but closer to and also android 8.0. I am trying to get this one installed to fix the problems. All I want is a fully working ZTEz17 dammit!!! :)

also downloading alternate stock roms from 2017 7.1 .... maybe this better than my geekb .cn rom which seems to not get OTA updates (anyway to check confirm OTA working?)

any help appreciated... seems like the z17 has fallen short of more popular ztes to flash which is insane because the hardware on these puppies is amazeballs
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] MrBlubke:
Just wondering is bluetooth working for you on.lineageos? Because it's the only thing I'm really missing in LineageOs 15 also waiting for 15.1 port foe the z17

No zip available.
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] sewkanteam:
first of all what you have to do ıs :

1-4.6 stock rom no twro or root ınstalled. ( go fastboot have look if there says : boot unlocked root unlocked ) ıf ıts unlocked you cant ınstall this.

how you can u make them unlock is : ınstall stock rom wıth local update the 4.6 stock rom. with zip file.

then downloand this delta and same way ınstall wıth local update.

if you cant do anymore ı cant help you no more my frıend.

here pics of proof.
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] rmarcus:
Thank you for your patience, I'm on 4.16 I am no noobie on this, everything is locked as factory. the only point I can't understand is, where the hell is the zip file? none of the links take me to a zip file. Did you see the screenshot I attached?

It gives me a delta extension and no zip file, I just need this zip file, from there I know what to do.

Thanks

Sorry this is the zip for 4.16

Apparently you don't need a zip to update to 8.0

Only this .delta file and manually select it in settings update... So Not using twrp
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] sewkanteam:
ı tried my best to explaın but he dont undersstand .

just ınstall delta file what u download . no zip file.
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] rmarcus:
I got it to work but your problem is, since the beginning you said it was a zip file, that the delta was a zip file, and only now you recognized your mistake and said it was not a zip file but the delta the way it is.

It is Android 8.0 with a bunch of nice implementation, but it is a beta version so you still see some weird stuff on the notification panel.

I can't wait for the official version.:laugh:
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] sewkanteam:
good to hear tht you did it.

the link ı gave you ıs not zip file was delta file. ı trıeid explaın you but u keep ask me zip file . so ı took easy for you whatever you have put ın memory and uptade wıth local update.

god help me you did it. :D

yes ıts beta versıon ı trıed ınstall other updates whıch say up up ın the end.

they re not cracked. so ı could ot update.

they says ın chınese web whıch they will do offical update ın june direct wıth 8.1 . so lets see.
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] MrBlubke:
Just wondering... Does this beta have working bluetooth and other sensors? Maybe we could use the files in this beta to fix this in LineageOs 15?
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] philifeecs:
no bluetooth etc not worth it

---------- Post added at 11:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 PM ----------

this one (betastock 8.0) does work bluetooth tested (basic connect BT headset played ringtones - these played on both phone and headset) it seemed to detect all the BT devices and contained some additional settings, edge detection, camera - i was going to throw some screen shots but alas tried to install twrp to try to flash gapps and magisk (unlocked boot, flashed 3.1.1 twrp) but then it wouldn't reboot into beta stock 8.0 - i read the axon/m !? 7 uses dm verify and there a command to run ...???? maybe a z17 version ....????. TWRP was missing the system mount, fastboot displayed secure boot?) Maybe there is a simpler way to run gapps only (no twrp etc beta stock) there was online store in beta stock rom but failed - tried loading apkpure.com google services, google play store, google account manager and google play services (usually ok on androids) this failed to open g play on beta 8.0.

btw you peeps having trouble the in built recovery allows to flash/install files .ups .delta .zip but you need to be able to access OTA updates - my original stock rom failed to open this wen going to settings > update. If your here without google plays apps working follow the zte z17 steps in this section of xda to unlock bootloader and flash TWRP. Backup, wipe and flash stock 4.02 or there is a new 4.06 update in stock roms of xda section - i haven't tried the 4.06 yet... (if works skip STEP 1 no working TWRP from this point)

https://xdaforums.com/nubia-z17/development/stock-rom-4-02-update-package-4-05-t3731795 this one works faster than mega > reboot to 4.02 stock

STEP 1 on 4.02 OTA should work. after boot (wifi only if want chinese app updates during boot) go to system > update > (wifi on now) update to 4.06 > installer should download and install then reboot - this removes TWRP

STEP 2 ok if all going smooth should boot to 4.06 - turn wifi off at this point>copy the .delta with the 4.6 8.0 in title to phone with usb c cable >then go to settings > update > click : (top right) > select other location> click at top of screen (directory was blank for me) > wait patiently :) >navigate or select . delta file install

boot to beta 8.0

if anyone has TWRP working properly or gapps working please post
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Topogigi:
I managed to install Magisk and Gapps through TWRP and the rom is really smooth. No errors downloading apps from the Play Store, ATM.

In order to make TWRP work (once the 8.0 rom is already up and running), you must format the DATA partition (no TWRP that I tried is able to mount the DATA partition after the rom has booted once). I had to format the DATA partition in EXT2, then another time in EXT4 and finally I rebooted directly to recovery (don't reboot the rom!) and the DATA partition was correctly mounted (it was empty, as I formatted it). Then I copied to the sdcard the Magisk installer and the Gapps (use the FULL 8.0 version, otherwise you will have problems with Android Webview disappearing....). Once installed your stuff, reboot and install the magisk manager apk. That's all. I will be back to Mokee stable in the evening, as I discovered that even the stock 8.0 rom has problems during calls (a weird echo appears during the first 2/3 seconds of a call). That was driving me nuts and it is the only reason that pushed me to test this beta stock rom. Since it does not solve my problem, I think I will sell the device in a while.... Happy testing.
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] philifeecs:

[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Topogigi:
"Setting up" means "Installing the beta 8.0 rom" or "Installing gapps and Magisk from TWRP"? Please explain.....
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] philifeecs:
i had the issue after flashing gapps and miagisk rom booted but stuck on loop. had to try again now with Beta rom 8.0 and ready to twrp again but can you walk through once more - are you formatting with the twrp app or via fastboot?

version of gapps arm 64 stock ?

---------- Post added at 08:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 AM ----------

no luck - double format via twrp or fastboot? (ithink i got this right in twrp a it did boot to rom at least)- gapps version used? did you wipe calvik after gapps and magisk flash before reboot to rom? did you root with twrp?

i did extensively test my phone calling - called, received - handsfree - no echo :(
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] rmarcus:
After I had the rom working and running 8.0 I went to install twrp and after that I flashed Gapps through twrp. When I rebooted it kept restarting every 5 to 10 seconds.

I think it is the formatting data thing, how did you do it? I use format from twrp but every reboot it says it can't mount data.

Thanks
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Topogigi:
Once the 8.0 beta rom is up and running, you must perform the following actions:

1) Reboot to bootloader and install TWRP (you have to unlock the bootloader as you already know)

2) Choose "Reboot to recovery" from the bootloader menu (don't reboot to system!) using the vol up/down keys

3) Once in TWRP, you will notice that you can't mount "data" (check internal storage, it reports 0 byte)

4) In TWRP menu, choose the WIPE key, then "Advanced wipe", check "Data" and press "Change file system". Then format data the first time with EXT2, then with EXT4 (you should not see error messages after that)

5) Double check that "data" can be mounted now, and check the size in the "Select storage" menu (it should be not 0 anymore)

6) Choose "Reboot" from the main TWRP menu, and reboot to Recovery.

7) Copy the Magisk and the GAPPS zips from a PC into the phone.

8) Install them.

9) Reboot to system

I already advised you that the only GAPPS flavour that I found to work is the FULL version (speaking of Opengapps of course).

Good luck.

Yes I know, mine is most probably a defective unit.
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] MrBlubke:
could you direct us to which TWRP install file you used?

also, does this beta rom have all the bloated chinese software ? or is the rom more like a clean stock android oreo?
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Topogigi:
I tried with many TWRP flavours (3.1.1., 3.2.1). Every TWRP I tried worked well in this case. The only issue I met was about AROMA installer with 3.2.1 (it reboots during gapps installation). But AROMA Gapps are not working with this rom, so it's up to you. Chinese bloatware is there, but the most are uninstallable....
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] MrBlubke:
I'm still doubthing whether I should install this beta or stick with LineageOs 15 until 8.1 or project treble comes along... The only thing I'm really missing is Bluetooth in the car... And to have to back-up all my apps and data (due to the having to format the data partition) seems like a real bother... ?

---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------

On a different note... Since you guys succeeded in installing twrp and magisk and the likes... Could anyone share the content of system/lib/hw in a flashable zip? ?That would be great, maybe this would fix my LineageOs issues ?

---------- Post added at 11:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 AM ----------

Maybe you should share how this is done?

I presume this can be done using twrp?
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] rmarcus:
Am I wrong or lately everything that's being posted here is about the stock rom update to Android 8.0? If that's the case, why do we keep using the lineage tread?

Just a thought. ☺
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] arceoxis:
Yes, It can be done with TWRP.

You have to go to Backup and choose system and boot, when it finishes look for it in the folder TWRP in the internal storage.

Then you can compress the folder and share it with us.

But first download Treble Check app, run it and send screenshot, please.
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] MrBlubke:
I don't think current oreo build on the z17 is Treble ready... Since updating (from what I read) did not require reformatting, and Treble requires an extra partition for seamless updates. I checked the Treble app on LineageOs 15, and it said it wasn't ready for treble because of the missing a/b partition system...

Btw, arceoxis... Could you refresh my memory ?

I have no idea how to go back to stock image and most importantly stock boot and recovery... To be able to update to this stock 8.0 beta...
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Topogigi:
Nope, it cannot be done with TWRP. Stock beta 8.0 rom uses a different format for data partition (and internal storage), and you cannot save anything there from TWRP. Maybe it could be done with an external memory connected via OTG.
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] philifeecs:
agree - new thread for 4.6 to 8.0 stock beta would be good - how do you do that ? :)
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] MrBlubke:
Well... I think we're trying to use the stock oreo rom to fix the LineageOs rom, so it's related, and in my opinion this is the correct forum. But a forum for stuff related to only the oreo stock rom isn't a bad idea

---------- Post added at 05:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 AM ----------

You're saying that twrp can't read the data partition nor internal storage? Or can't write to it?

I think that's the idea, to backup either to data partition or to external storage (otg)
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Topogigi:
You will not be able to write to data partition from TWRP.

Maybe It would be possible to use OTG as a workaround...
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] MrBlubke:
For me, I think I'd first like to try if adding the right files in system/lib/hw/ fixes my issues...

So if someone could just copy these files from the stock 8.0 beta, and zip and share them here... ES file explorer for instance can do this...
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] MrBlubke:
Content of this folder is what I'm looking for... Might differ from mine since this screenshot is from LineageOs 15
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] peca's:
So, what don't work in this last release?
[ZTE Nubia Z17  ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] rmarcus:
What I have noticed so far and it's a no go for me is the lack of notification light and vibration, I don't know if it's only me, other than that I think it is ok to be used on a daily basis.

mine was fine but I dirty flashed the v2.54 update zip from the lineage section at the start of this thread with twrp - for me this was the only way to get gapps to install - i used arm64 8.0 full gapps - NOT the stock one - this wipes original camera and all the nubia niceness

unlock bootloader via fastboot - volume+ down let go on nubia boot screen

flash twrp 3.1.1. for zte z17

reboot to recovery

TWRP backup existing - copy to OTG

wipe everything

install v4.06 stock rom (or 4.02 and update to 4.06)

reboot - this should wipe twrp and install stock recovery

via system update -click : > local update > click empty space) > local file via adb or OTG > install stock beta 8.0 delta file .delta

boot to 8.0

repeat unlock bootloader via fastboot - volume+ down let go on nubia boot screen

flash twrp 3.1.1. for zte z17

reboot to recovery

twrp has data mount issues from here - hence OTG usb c two way to usb 3.0 - this also has mount issues and requires a reboot to TWRP if doesnt auto mount

TWRP backup existing (8.0) - copy to OTG

flash gapps 8.0 arm 64 full, v2.54 update.zip (lineage unofficial), magisk 16.0 - wipe dalvik cache and reboot to system

WARNING you may experience boot loops from her on:

on boot skip past both google setup activate wifi during nubia startup - let wifi update apps - persist past boot loops and get to settings AND REMOVE WORK PROFILE - this should stop a whole bunch of stuff auto starting and cloning apps - power down and restart seem to sometimes force boot loop to start over - EVENTUALLY the system stables

install magisk to apps - install titanium backup (i have the full version) - BACKUP all apps

reboot to recovery

install saftety net

so far

camera stock works -

gapps work

bluetooth works

seems to be a google apps - stock apps integration issue

-accessibility permissions issue - "because an app is obscuring a permission request, settings cant verify response

-fingerprint does not work

- boot loops - but these back

next....

i need to intergrate apps, fix permissions and debloat this MF!! test bench

updated testing:

working 100 % !!!

FASTBOOT UNLOCK BOOTLOADER

FLASH TWRP

install 4.06 stock china

install 4.06 -8.0 delta via stock update software >local update > : > blank at top > select files OR OTG usb C / usb2 dual data stick

FASTBOOT UNLOCK BOOTLOADER

FLASH TWRP again

fix data mount - ext2 and then ext4 format - reboot recovery -

flash gapps full 8.0 arm 64

flash magisk 16.0

reboot to potential boot loops - skip past google / nubia screens - remove/disable all WORK MODE settings in settings > accounts - this fixed loops

login play (update the store/play services app) - install updates and web viewer - search it as it wont update the stock beta web view

install magisk app, titanium backup, freeze work mode and enable titanium back on boot with neosafe (use any app o freeze or disable but titanium worked for me)

reboot recovery

install safety net

reboot to system - check work mode has not re-enable

TO ACCESS ACCESSIBILITY - kinda important!!

disable nubia fit screen overlay to access accessibility - it wasn't a permissions thing or you can disable its ability to overlay apps via setting >app info> three dots> show system >find FIT(not google fit!) >permissions >disable display over other apps

everything is working smooth now - BT, fingerprint, stock camera, google play - thanks to all those who helped!! everything needed is in this thread / section of XDA
