Thank you very much! I tried everything and at the end it was Swiftkey app that blocked google services!!!

I wish this phone had more support like my Redmi Note 3 Pro had. I dont have courage to even root this one :(
[ZTE Nubia Z17  Questions & Answers] lapist:
You are welcome :) Although not rooting it would be pity...With root it is easier to get the phone into more useable state, like background apps not getting killed to get notifications on new messages properly etc. It helps to turn a few apps into system apps and/or add them in ProcessManager database as protected apps.

How to root?

I also suffer from this bug.

What's the easiest way to root the Nubia Z17 (global) lite?

Is there a step-by-step guide?

Thanks a lot
[ZTE Nubia Z17  Questions & Answers] lapist:
I think there is no detailed step-by-step guide, but you can gather information from threads about this phone. You mainly need to have ADB drivers, unlock bootloader, flash TWRP and from it flash Magisk.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76842677&postcount=26 (you can just skip flashing boot.img and files init.qcom.post_boot.sh and .thermal-mode-01-01.conf, just flash magisk ZIP instead)

Phone got stuck

LATEST UPDATE: Now I'm stuck in the "Nubia...Powered by Android" start screen. This happened after I tried to install v1.05. This opened the TWRP screen in Chinese. I selected the bottom-right button and then again the bottom-right and chose English and then rebooted.

I can still get into twrp mode by long pressing the volume down + power keys.

What steps do I need to take to make the phone boot properly again?

-----

-- I posted this section below earlier before I had this boot problem

--

I finally found the time (and the courage) to try this out.

SuperSu was installed so hopefully I didn't miss anything. Does it mean that the device is rooted?

I can successfully get into su mode with a terminal app.

Also, I have two root checker apps. One is showing that the device is rooted, and the other shows that it's not.

All my apps and settings remained as they were.

IS THIS OK? I expected that the process will wipe all the data.

I didn't flash majisk. IS IT NEEDED IF THE DEVICE IS ALREADY ROOTED?

And lastly, I still can't download from the play store (:

Any suggestions on that issue?

Thank you so much
[ZTE Nubia Z17  Questions & Answers] lapist:
How did you install v1.05? You need to do it from emergency recovery using OTG cable/adapter, not from TWRP.

If you went from LineageOS to stock, you need to wipe data from emergency recovery, because the storage is encrypted.
[ZTE Nubia Z17  Questions & Answers] yaccri:
I tried to install v1.05 from the settings->System Update->Local Update menu (http://blog.geekbuying.com/2018/03/official-global-versionzte-nubia-z17-lite-snapdragon-653-android-7-1-smartphone-firmware-20180316/).

Before that I had the global stock version 1.04.

What can I do now?
[ZTE Nubia Z17  Questions & Answers] lapist:
1. You can try wiping data & cache partitions.

2. Use that emergency recovery and flash zip over OTG from there again.
[ZTE Nubia Z17  Questions & Answers] yaccri:
Thank you,

I already tried that.

The problem is that in emergency recovery mode the thumb drive that is connected with OTG cable is not recognized.

In TWRP I can mount that drive, but in emergency recovery mode its not mounted.

UPDATE: I tried different USB drives. One of them mounted. I found that this one was formatted in FAT. Since this is a small 2Gb drive that cannot hold the ROM, I found another drive that was formatted in ExFAT that also loaded correctly.

I loaded the ROM as suggested and now the phone is working again.

My guess is that the phone can't read NTFS file format in emergency recovery mode.

Thank you!!!
[ZTE Nubia Z17  Questions & Answers] lapist:
Yes, NTFS is not supported very well on Android. Use just FAT32, that should work fine. ExFAT also works only somewhere....
[ZTE Nubia Z17  Questions & Answers] yaccri:
I renamed the CMVirtualBox.apk and also its folder, removed user10 and restarted, but that didn't help.

What did you use to kill the SwiftKey process? It's not installed as an app on my phone.

Thank you
[ZTE Nubia Z17  Questions & Answers] lapist:
In that case you probably don't have SwiftKey installed - it is not installed by default :) But if Play Store doesn't download and Google account sync doesn't work for you, it may be some different app causing the deadlock. You should go thru all apps and force closing them one by one...when you kill the problematic process, Play Store will start downloading immediately. You can do it from Settings - Apps, or use some app for that.
[ZTE Nubia Z17  Questions & Answers] yaccri:
I really appreciate your help.

I forcefully disabled all apps but the problem remained.
[Moto Z Play Accessories] shicomm:
While lenovo ( moto ) does have some blame in this situation , i think it's fair to also state that livermorium at least "overshot" things a bit here..

Backers have been promised at least a couple of things and the product has gone thru a ton of re-thinks and rebuilds.

Time and time again the backers had to accept that there was another change and another 'update' made to the product...

Livermorium was more then happy to go to CES and make quite a splash about the keyboard , even go as far as hinting to a retail release of the product.

While it is a logical move to take a piss on lenovo , we have to consider that a lot of the issues could have been prevented if the seemingly endless list of changes

and updates was cut out to get the product to the backers at least.

Livermorium is a little bit too eager to 'whine' about the fact that they are out of funds and that a lot of 'new problems' have come up out of nowhere.

I backed the product and i have been very patient but with a long list of shifted deadlines i must be honest and state that i have lost allmost all hope

in this project.

Lets all hope that this idea finally comes to a product very soon , the wait has been too long...

I was unaware of the issues with the mod, but I was looking forward for it as well. I'm a serious typer and I still use the T9 compact because I think it's faster and could think of a couple of situations where the mod would be dope

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] SJMarty:
I've run BusyBox Pro (Stericson) on all of my rooted phones for years. I installed the app on my rooted H918 running stock 10t. When the app is launched, it wants to put BusyBox in /sbin. If I accept that option, I get a messaging asking about auto reinstalling to /sbin.

I've never seen this on any of my other phones and I don't know how to answer it. Should I be installing to a different path? Should I be using the Magisk module instead?

Any advice appreciated.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Stransky:

Let's Busybox install without you having to install it every time. Busybox is needed if you use SuperSU. I don't use Magisk so don't know if Busybox needed.

[MENTION=4193208]SJMarty[/MENTION] You should really use Magisk and the BusyBox module. If you modify system, then you won't be able to pass safetynet.

Nokia 7 Plus with SD660. But please check first the unlock bootloader status if you're into 3rd party ROMs and tweaks. Official updates are great, though.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrAlexM:
I am a complete newbie when it comes to rooting phones and stuff. I have been going through the tutorials and the toolkits that have been posted here years ago. However, when I click on "install HTC drivers" the program doesn't do anything...

Are there current and working All in One Toolkits to root my HTC One M7? Would be highly highly appreciated.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
I would recommend you to do it without using any toolkit. There are all outdated anyway and doing it the right way is only 3 steps:

Unlock your bootloader

Flash twrp recovery

Install the latest supersu.zip using twrp recovery
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrAlexM:
Sounds good but how do I do it exactly? is there a step by step tutorial that I can "blindly" follow?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuIq0gmYpFA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EE6F-4KjR9I

Just make sure to use the latest twrp recovery and supersu.zip, not the versions instructed in the videos.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrAlexM:
I am stuck at the bootloader unlocking stage where I download the fastboot.exe on the desktop and run it within cmd.exe

But it does virtually nothing. The bootloader zip from htcdev contained just the bootloader.exe whereas in the video tutorial it comes with a DLL and another file.

I specified the HTC One M7 as this is the phone that I am currently working with and want to root.

What am I missing, what am I doing wrong?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
You can use minimal adb and fastboot

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

This will install the correct files (adb.exe fastboot.exe and their dll) and create a shortcut to launch a termimal window from the correct folder (start menu --> program ---> minimal adb and fastboot --> minimal adb and fastboot.exe

Then continue with step 5 from htcdev.com/bootloader

When you'll get your Unlock_code.bin file, don't forget to save it in the same folder where minimal adb and fastboot is installed on your computer (by default C:\minimal adb and fastboot\)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrAlexM:
Fantastic, thank you, I was able to unlock the bootloader. Now I am off to the second video to actually root my phone now. Will let you guys know how it goes!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrAlexM:
The problem now is that in the thread that the said root video's thread is now different. There is not the root "SuperSU" file in it anymore, what to do? I either need to find the supersu root files or I need a different tutorial. Sorry for the noobish questions I am just scared to break my phone so I need to make sure to follow the steps closely and not improvise stuff :D

Edit: I did it and I finally got the hang of it.

1. I unlocked the bootloader

2. I installed the twrp ROM for my HTC One M7

3. I downloaded the newest supersu zip from the original supersu site and put that into my internal storage

4. I entered into the recovery mode and picked "install" and chose the supersu zip

Thanks for your help guys

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] Surethom:
Anyone else noticed for such a large display the text is overly large, see pics & YouTube clip I have the Samsung tab S 10.5 & more text is filled on the screen than the Huawei 10.8" display (even the nexus 10 shows more text) & that's with the Text size & view mode set to small because of this I would end up scrolling more. This is making me think twice about getting the tablet. The one I reviewed is my parents.

Does not help that the max home screen grid is only 6x5 where as the Samsung tab is 8x6 which is better.

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] lolmensch:
in the landscape picture it mostly is because of the navigation bar you dont need wth the tab s.

I agree with it being slightly less dense than your parents tab s but I only have a old notebook as a comparison (with 1366&768 resolution) and am perfectly happy with the tablet. I suppose this could be changed with a custom rom though.

Edit: btw if it is just the browser you can adjust the scale. in firefox go to about:config and search for font.size.systemFontScale. I've got it on 70 instead of 100 and can fit a lot more content.
[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
First of all which OS is the Tab S running. Is it the old WebView which comes as separate App, or does it already have the new WebView which is integrated into Chrome. Seems as if it is the old one on the Tab S.

Regarding the Launcher grid well yeah EMUI is different to TouchWiz, less rows and columns on the grid, but less lag fest as well. If you want to obtain more rows and columns on the grid change the launcher let's say to Nova Launcher Prime.

[Huawei MediaPad M5  Guides, News, & Discussion] gcogger:
I agree, I've done the same. For me, it's the non text items that are far too big. It feels like they've taken the 8.4" tablet and just scaled everything up.

I use a value of 950 - if you go smaller than that, the settings pages can become unusable. Note that this gets set on a restart, so you have to go back to Developer Options and set the value again. Still, how often do you reboot the tablet?

I thought the Qtek 8500 12 pin connector was unique to that handset. Have you just searched for "micro usb adaptor" or do you know something we don't?

quote "A regular micro-USB port would have been better than the proprietary HTC port"

The port on the 3125 is micro usb, the port on say a 8525 or 8125 is Mini usb

I am not saying the adapter will work, only that it is a micro to mini adapter and it should work.
[HTC Startrek] landwomble:
hmm

Guess I could, but it'd be plus shipping to the UK and all the reviews I've seen of the Star Trek imply that the port on it is unique to that handset.

Micro USB is a standard, but not one that HTC chose to use on this handset as far as I can tell: see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:USB_types_2.jpg for a clear image of a standard micro USB connector.

Hello, my phone recently fell screen down on the floor. The screen itself is fine but the digitizer has stopped working and I can't access my phone. I already ordered a replacement screen/digitizer assembly but I still need access to my phone in the meantime. I thought about using this screen mirroring program https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2786395 but my phone is stock and non rooted (for once). I can't get my phone to show up in adb devices except in recovery sideload mode (stock recovery).
