Read the first post carefully. You should install special boundle apk using ADB and then you can find the icon to install needed Google apps.

Link2sd says:

"Link2SD could Not obtain root access."

I used the nubia x root v2.19 tool (yes, I am on 2.19) and it says "success".

Any ideas? ?

New Rom V2.20 is available here:

url]http://ui.nubia.cn/rom/detail/58[/url]

Just wondering how to install it
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Teeemoo:
Just root again, phone must be unlocked and display needs to be enabled.

Sometimes you need two attempts.

Cheers
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] zencooler:
As Teeemoo said above: you can do the rooting process one more time.

And the easiest way to check if it is successfully rooted is go to Magisk Manager and look is it installed. Also if you are in fastboot mode you can look at the information below options.

[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] MobilejackYT:
I did it four times. But okay, I will try it some more times ?

Bootlogo

My Nubia now dont display bootlogo, only the boot sound. And the fastboot mode is the same, it is only black but still operate normally. Do anyone know to resolve this problem?
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] zencooler:
You can switch off the phone. Then press volume up and power buttons at the same time then you will get the fastboot mode. Make the photo of this mode and put JPG/PNG here, please.

Another way to do this is just connect phone to the PC and do command: adb reboot bootloader (if you have USB debugging on in developer settings).

Regards.

You can do this from phone recovery mode and OTG connected via USB (pu downloaded firmware into USB drive and connect it to the phone then use correct option from recovery to do the upgrade).

IMPORTANT: If you have obtained the root privilege, you must remove the root and restore the normal version status, and restore the factory settings before upgrading. Otherwise, the upgrade may fail.

If you are upgraded to v. 2.20 you can do the root procedure again (according to Teeemoo manual) using the newest version of Chinese patcher (don't use any other previous versions!).

I uploded it here: https://mega.nz/#!foIgQYrL!6M05e2wZIpr5Lx2ov4RxW-aAdGFZzVXVoYfUtE3cAc0

Change the file extension from PDF to EXE.

Hi,

unfortunately I have already bricked my phone by using V2.19 root tool on V2.20 ROM.

At the moment I can only boot in EDL mode. I can also connect with Nubia emergency tool but is not updated yet for Nubia x .
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] zencooler:
I see. So, you can just remove root and install original firmware using recovery, it should restore the original boot partition.

Good luck.
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] letfly:
Do your phone like that? If use the original firmware, google play cant run. Any more solution?
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] zencooler:
After installation of original firmware you can do the whole procedure again, but using correct version of patch. That's all :)
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] letfly:
I did that yesterday. When use the 2.11, the boot logo is normal. But after I install root, I can use the phone normally :) only lost the boot logo, fastboot and recovery become black. so I asked here :)
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] zencooler:
Try the same but with newer version of firmware (2.19 or 2.20). I think it could work for you.
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] MobilejackYT:
I used the nubia x root tool (2.19) more then ten times with "success", but the phone isnt rooted. What can I do?
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] letfly:
i tried all, 2.19 and 2.20, logo still lost. tried flash the splash.img in the rom, logo and fastboot are still black.
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] zencooler:
Remember to unlock phone screen during the tool operation.

Another issue I faced during this process (when I did the magic first time) was the PC problem that fastboot didn't operate correctly any fastboot command in fastboot mode forced to exit fastboot mode in the phone (so patch tool didn't start the procedure in time). I tried on other PC and it went successfully.

Try this. Maybe you have similar problem.
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] MobilejackYT:
The screen is unlocked and the tool says "success" three times. Then the phone goes in fastboot mode.

Is this correct?

It is the second pc I try :mad:
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] MobilejackYT:
Okay, new try with the third PC.

The tool is saying sucess, but the device is not rooted...
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Boede:
Where can I find the link for the 2.20 rootkit? Hu
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] warrio:
Hi,

normally after the 3rd success, the program will install Magisk on your phone. You have just to accept the installation and then it will reboot automatically .

[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] zencooler:
See one of my previous posts (#56). I uploaded this tool on my Mega Upload.

Hi guys,

First of all, thanks to you guys I'm able to load all Google Services on this awesome phone.

I encountered some problems though, mainly with notifications.

It doesn't notify me of the incoming emails from Gmail and Yahoo, I have to manually check on the email apps here and there.

I did turn on all the notifications of these apps and set them on urgent, and yet it doesn't work.

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] warrio:
Same for me. Works only with the apps in background.
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Teeemoo:
I guess that's because we are missing the main Google Apps (via flashing them).

So we need to wait until TWRP is out for that phone.

I compiled it successfully but the bootimage is still blocking the execution (and I don't want to change anything on my phone at this point).

Cheers
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] dragon-tmd:
That IS the way Nubia OS is supposed to work. Even with root (and/or full Google services), you can not change this behaviour without help of 3rd party apps.

I close the first window with red writing, but the both buttons in the second window are not clickable !
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] zencooler:
Sorry but I do not understand what are you writing about.

What buttons? What "second window"???

If you want somebody to help you then you should explain every details regarding your issue (any screenshot or photo of your screen could also help).
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] caperonjr:
Sorry, I talk about the Nubia root toolkit from this thread.

I already updated my Nubia X to 2.20, then I downloaded the updated tool in page 6.

In the first post, Teeemoo says :

But in my case, I can click the button, it's inactive !
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] sudeep_hm:
Thank you so much for helping all of us and having fun in playing with our new phone. I could follow your steps till stage 3, I think I have rooted it because phone rebooted itself but I could not confirm because I could not read anything from the window on my laptop except the word root.

So, I'm not getting how to do stage 4 and onwards. How to install apks via 'adb' how to open the window and from where??

Please will any one explain me if possible with screen shots?
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] zencooler:
On the first post on page 6 (means post #51) there is a link to firmware v. 2.20 not the root tool!

You can update firmware using normal OTA updates directly from your phone.

The root tool I uploaded to this MegaUpload:

https://mega.nz/#!foIgQYrL!6M05e2wZIpr5Lx2ov4RxW-aAdGFZzVXVoYfUtE3cAc0

(download the file and change extension fron .pdf to .exe). Read carrefully my post #58 as the file can be recognised as an infected one)

Then if you have firmware 2.20 you can start the exe tool and will get the first screen with some strange characters - you can close this windows by "x" in top right corner and the you will get second window with two buttons. The buttons will be active if you have phone properly connected via USB cable and ADB drivers installed on your computer.

Good luck.

---------- Post added at 01:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 PM ----------

Everything is very well explained in the first post by Teeemoo - see the STEP 4 details.

If you downloaded apk files and have Nubia phone connected via USB cable with developer mode and USB Debugging on then you have to install them using commands:

adb install com.buak.Link2SD.apk

adb install com.ericxiang.googleinstaller.apk

These commands will install both apps into your phone and then you can follow next steps of the manual (especially STEP 5 to install Google Services and apps).

Regards.
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] caperonjr:
Thanks Zencooler !

We agree about the tool, I got it on post #56 in page #6 as the your.

Then I think my phone is not in the right state to be rooted !

I installed minimal adb, but I just have to power off the phone or to put it in a special boot mode, or I have to launch a cmd adb command before ?
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] zencooler:
To make this magic using the root tool your phone should properly use ADB connections and - what is more important - fastboot mode.

So first of all you can check if your phone is connected to the PC and visible from ADB commands by checking the command:

adb devices

Then you will see the number of your device or nothing (if it is not properly connected to use ADB)

If everything's OK then you can check the fastboot mode (if it works) via command:

adb reboot bootloader

this restart your phone into fastboot mode. If you are connected to the PC you can check if this mode works properly via command:

fastboot devices

If should show your device or nothing (if it is not properly connected to use fastboot)

To exit fastboot mode you can use command:

fastboot reboot

If both modes: ADB and fastboot are working OK you can use the root tool to do the magic.

Regards.

Hi Guys, I installed whatsup on the phone but following adding the phone number whatsup indicated that whatsup can work properly only if I give permission Google Play services to access to the storage. But I cannot add any permission to google play services (and probably it is not possible that Google play services has no access to storage as anything else is working properly) Did anyone get any similar message? Any idea how to solve this?

Thank you, Balint
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] sudeep_hm:
Huh, at last able to complete all the procedures with success. Now a new problem , after signing into Google account after 4-5 trying. Not able to do anything in play store at the start itself it is showing that "authentication is required, you need to sign into your Google account." Now what???

Tried data clean, cache clean etc but nothing positive till now. Very annoying situation at the time when we feel everything is done.
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] sudeep_hm:
Solved every problem..Now all is working fine. Authentication cleared by just inserting the sim card.

Thank you all..

I had this issue. It's misleading message. It's nothing about the permissions of the storage.

I can't tell you how exactly I did fix it, but I think that have move it for a moment as system app did the SMS auth and then move it as normal app again. Thy this one except clear the cashe as well.

[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] MobilejackYT:
Yes, same here, but nobody gave an answer. I have this problem since two weeks now and have no solution.
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] zencooler:
You should be careful with few things important for the rooting using this Chineese root tool:

1. You have to disable your PC antivirus (or add this root tool to the exeption list of your antivirus software)

2. You have to be sure your fastboot mode is working properly on your Nubia X (do the manual check before run the root tool)

3. Important: do not click any options to update, install etc. in the Magisk Manager. After correct installation of root via root tool it should show the Magisk version and that's all - do not try to use Magisk to correct or update the root!

4. General sugestion: check the basic fastboot commands before I had similar problems on one laptop (root tool did magic, restarted the phone, but after this the root wasn't installed - I observed that phone restarted during the rooting process into fastboot mode and after getting command from root tool automatically closed fastboot mode then I changed the PC for another one and installed ADB/fastboot drivers again and then root tool did the magic with no problem at all - the fastboot commands didn't close the fastboot mode on the phone).

Good luck.

Hey guys.

Did you ever manage to fix Nuvocell's problems with the boot looping? being the impatient guy i am i managed to get into the same situation. even though i'm sure i used the 2.19V on my 2.19V phone.

I'm able to get into fastboot mode and unlocking the device through fastbooting the OEM, when flashing the recovery.img and boot.img from the official OEM file says OKAY, but where to go from there?

when i try to search for my device through ADB it won't detect, not the the computer either.

Is there a fix somehow, or am i royally ****ed at this point? :confused:

Any helpful tips would be greatly appreciated. :)

Lasse.
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] zencooler:
What did you do before you get bootloop? Explain in details, please. It will help to look for the solution for you.

Can you enter recovery? If yes, you can just try to connect USB via OTG and the do the update process using downloaded update file from official site:

http://romdownload.nubia.com/nubiaX/V2.20/NX616J-update.zip

[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Wraals:
Thanks for the quick reply zencooler!

Actually i stopped panicking and browsed the different threads regarding rooting the Nubia on XDA and i found the solution in a different thread.

My biggest problem was that i hadn't closed the nubia_X_root before trying all the fixes, so my ADB freaked out. I've managed to flash all the image files from the update zip now and am in emergency recovery mode.

Just had to run out and buy a USB adapter so i can recover from OTG.

But again, a BIG thank you for offering a hand and being helpful :good: :)

Best Regards.

Sorry for the "spam".

Just wanted to let you know that i've managed to get access to the phone and rooted after messing around with image placements. so everything seems to be in order so far. The issues i had got solved after copying the images into the root folder and locking the phone with adb.

Probably a rookie mistake, but hey, my first android root ever completed :)

First of all thanks to [MENTION=9589523]Teeemoo[/MENTION] for this great workaround! Works fine for my Nubia X v2.20.

But I'm also facing the issue already reported by [MENTION=9625195]bamolnarhu[/MENTION] in post #96. Whatsapp SMS authentication is not working due to Google Play Services seem to miss storage permission.

In the moment of this post, I resolved the issue on my own. Whatsapp is missing the SMS permission, just add it in the app permissions, that's it ;)

To solve app notification problems it is needed to go in "app info" (not "notifications and status bar), tap to show system app, tap on notifications and enable one by one all the notifications we need to enable.
