Hey man lovely post and i really appreciate the work that got into this, i wonder only one thing. When i complete all the steps and got at the part where it says optional, my phone doesnt really reboot twice nor does it look like it reboots. Instead i just get a black screen, so i have to hard reset and then i can hear windows recognize the device again to press down on the volume down again, but i am kinda stuck in this step, ive done it twice the process, i think it somehow doesnt really installs the image but is busy for quite some time. You have anything that looked like this while working on this? THanks a lot hope you can help out!
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] hellraisertg72:
wow! well written - I get the feeling that you enjoyed it very much ;)

I have the X and I'm not so happy with it. It's basically a v3.05 version, but I bought it with a "Custom-ROM with Google-Play and German languagepack preinstalled". Generally it works and I think it's a cool piece of technology, but some things bother me: I can get no GPS-fix with GPS-Only-Apps ("speedometer"-apps), the AOD is lightly lit (no black where black should be). Did you happen to experience those things before you made your own ROM?

I tried to "downgrade" this customized ROM to the official one like posted in a nother thread, but it stops after 50% or so and says that it doesn't work :-/ Can you please advise me to make it work?

OR - do you think I can try to root it and flash TWRP onto it (as it is shown in some threads)? Or will it brick?! (I know, it's a difficult question ....) Or should I try your ROM? As I understood your way of installing, you tried NOT to wipe everything first?

Maybe you could help me a bit :)

Thanks alot in advance!

Tom

Hi Roman!

You are my/THE hero :D

1) the trick with the color-mode changed it to a real AOD - thanks!!!

2) GPS is a pain in the a... in the X - I read that you already bought the new Z20 (from where, btw? I got my X from cect-shop.com), did you receive it yet? Hopefully at least GPS is working better!!!

3) yes, you were right (of course ;)) - I tried the recovery-update-installation. You meant that I just have to fully reset the X first then go into recovery und "downgrade" with the NX616J-update.zip - file?

4) I'd also like to sell my X and buy the Global-Version of the Z20 - that thing is really great (at least I think so regarding the first Indian and Chinese handon-tests :))
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] RomanLeFrais:
Hahaha I am honoured :angel:

When I found it I was like "Ohhhhh sh" lol, I tested the GPS outdoor and I get a signal 5 secondes after i turned it on on "GPS test" but the app said that I get a very poor signal so i waited for ~1 minute but thats all I could get now if I test indoor only Google maps can see my position, "GPS test" don't. I tried this but i can't make matlab working i will try on Windows so i will not get libblabla.so.6 error.

I did not buy the Z20 but i really want to, I posted my X on sale but nobody want it except for 200€ lol.

I never downgraded this phone I just read somewhere that Nubia said that we must factory reset the phone but i'm pretty sure you need to flash the rom with TWRP like the OPTIONNAL - GAPPS section of my post or with fastboot but you first need to convert the system.new.dat.br and the vendor.new.dat.br into a raw img file before by decompressing them with brotli and convert the .dat to a raw img file by

sdat2img systemorvendor.new.dat systemorvendor.transfer.list systemorvendor.img

and flash it with fastboot exactly like my ROM.

They even put a back speaker to make call on the other display ! The triple camera set with the two flash make me regret my X lol even the back screen show a preview of the camera when you take a picture from the main screen the only bad things is the screen ratio, on the X the screen is more border-less than the Z20 but it doesn't matter haha if you want to buy the Z20 I can suggest you "V-Phone Store" on Aliexpress wich is the same store that i used for the X thay have it here ;)
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] RomanLeFrais:
Oh god i found the issue with the GPS you need to remove all the google stuff and install microG

EDIT : The Pico version of OpenGapps don't provide the apk needed for the GPS i installed OpenGapps Micro and it work well, I just can't get pokemon Go working even if i have BasicIntegrity and Cts true I wonder why
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] hellraisertg72:
Hi Roman!

Finally I tried the flashing and it worked - thank you very much! I did not even loose any private data. I just flashed microgapps like you proposed and I had to verify the Google-account again - but it worked.

The GPS-Problem persists, alas, at least in a smaller amount. With GPS-Test (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.gpstest) it works perfectly. After 2 secs I have a fix wirh "hundreds" of satelites ;) But with other GPS-Apps like "Speedometer GPS PRO" (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=luo.speedometergpspro) it didn't work again :(

Did I miss something? (I didn't do the brotli and packing thing, by the way... just flashed the microgapps)...

And another thing: I like your(?) dog, but I'd like to build my own splash.img - can you help me please?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi !

Thx for your message :)
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] sudeep_hm:
Thank you OP for such a wonderful work. I bought it for $625 from geekbuying and now price for $400. Biggest disadvantage is not having proper global rom..
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] RomanLeFrais:
You're welcome !!

It is now at 300€ on Aliexpress :laugh: ! With the shipping i get mine at 500€, I'm disapointed. Yeah imagine the number of people that would have bought it... At first I though someone would make some "hacky" stuff for it like changing the way the dual screen work or maybe port a custom rom for it (I tried but I'm not good enough lol) but no, they released a update to fix certain bugs and after 1 day there were 107 comments on their forum where in xda 0 :rolleyes:
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] hellraisertg72:
YESSSS! You are the best - thank you - it worked perfectly. Hopefully my having worked GPS is still working after the reboot... Will try it soon outdoors :)

p.s.: what about the new v3.11 - update (my X is claiming there is a new one out there :))? I assume I cannot install it easily per TWRP over your/the V3.05 without at least losing the X to a brick ;) So - will you be able to make a new version of your ROM based on the V3.11?

Thanks alot!

"So long and thanks for the fish" - bye!

Tom
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] RomanLeFrais:
You're welcome ! :D I still have no clue why OpenGapps or google service disable the GPS by the way :(

I saw their post here but it only have "System stability" in the changelog I will try tomorrow to download it and install it so hopefully I can extract the new .img with TWRP and remove the chinease app and install FX Silence etc to make a new build, maybe the GPS will work who know :D

And by the way you can't install the update if you try lol it will complain about the root

even if you uninstall magisk

haha

EDIT : I found how to cheat the root by the way you need to flash the partition.img wich is in fact a text files saying "empty"

and when you unlock the bootloader it will change into this : on the last line the last number is how many time I unlocked it (01) if you change it to FF it will become 255 lol its a strange way to flex but you can do it :laugh: I think the number 1 and 0 from "BOOT IS ROOT", "DEVICE IS ROOT" and maybe "DEVICE IS ROOT" came when you flash the boot partition, the system and when you unlock the bootloader but I'm not 100% for the last one. Only "FASTBOOT UNLOCK COUNT" number is written in parameter.img

I can't update it to 3.11 even with only the recovery changed to TWRP and without, I removed the SHA1 check of the system partition because somehow the stock one get changed but I'm stuck at "E1001: Failed to update system image."

If you want to download the 3.11 OTA update I uploaded here : https://mega.nz/#!PO5FXQ7A!mHsX4lSz4FkJGa3ZBhHIWljOlKUaITzGsz21bdg9Mhs

Hi Roman!

Sorry for the long answering delay... been very busy lately ;)

But now I will try some things again - therefore I have one question: the provided OTAv311.zip is just for trying if it will work on my X or will it work when I flash it per TWRP!? I didn't catch that of your explanation, sorry :silly:

BTW: my GPS is still working (at least here: GPS Speedometer and Odometer (Early Access), ver 12.5) - but I have still no clue, why it is (maybe some developers are paying more attention to google's API) :D I'm just happy with it (unfortunately it is PIE-related, I assume - some other android-pie users on other smartphones are complaining on this "feature"....)

Tom
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] RomanLeFrais:
Hi I uploaded the update for anyone who simply want it so there is no need to download with the update application and extract from the ota folder this .zip, concerning the GPS I no longer have this phone and I never found why it never worked with the google api. It work with MicroG but not with google :( I'm not sure its Pie related if you remove google from a samsung and flash openGapps it will work for sure, I'm pretty sure its because of a config file in the /vendor I don't remember which exactly but one had tencent location service instead of Google gms I changed it but nothing happend maybe if you remove tencent Location Service and watch the logcat you can retrace the origin of the problem though.

Mokee released a ROM for the X but you don't have BasicIntegrity (maybe with magisk you can tweak it) if I remember correctly, the guy from the channel EspritNewGen tried it but I don't remember if the GPS worked with google api I posted the link on the main post if you want to try it ;)
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Cooldreh:
My Nubia X is on Global Rom 3.05 but would like to upgrade to 3.11 or flash the stock rom but no matter what i do fastboot would not flash, I keep getting failed error messages, even in the Recovery mode the upgrade stops at 25%. Can anyone help?
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] RomanLeFrais:
Hi there isn't any global ROM for this phone its just a modified ROM from the reseller, the update script look for the original system image so if you have a modified one the SHA1 won't match, I tried to flash the original and then update but I couldn't, I also tried to remove the line that check for the SHA1 but the update work with bsdiff so it need to have the exact same image as expected anyways
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Cooldreh:
Thanks man, I figured. I tried flashing stock with fastboot but errors, perhaps I need to flash using a computer with Intel chip, as I understand there is some issues with fastboot and AMD chips, and USB 3.0.
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] RomanLeFrais:
lol what :eek: ? I don't think its related but i had some issue on Manjaro with the latest update before selling my X. Try with an earlier version if you can but I don't think its because of AMD even if i have a i7. For the USB3 its the same it should work but you don't need your phone to be plugged in your computer to perform the update, the zip file is in the phone data partition or where you copied it I believe
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Cooldreh:
The system update option is not available on the phone, It's in settings but it doesn't work. I have to use OTG to update.
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] RomanLeFrais:
Yeah of course but fastboot work the same way with a Intel or AMD chip:)

EDIT : By the way nubia release the full 3.11 ROM on their website http://ui.nubia.cn/rom/detail/58

Direct download I re-uploaded on mega so it won't take the night to download here

The MD5 is 10416747CBF6385C66F2F30C22E10F2C
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Cooldreh:
I tried everything, flashing is still unsuccessful i am constantly getting the the error: FAILED (Write to device failed (Invalid argument)), with fastboot for every command. These vendor roms are so complicated.
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] RomanLeFrais:
Can you try with TWRP ? You need to install vbmeta and TWRP from my ROM to have TWRP, after that put the 3.11.zip in your phone and flash it with TWRP.

I think you are trying to flash system.new.dat with twrp or something like that but it need to be converted into a raw img file on linux its with sdat2im I don't know for windows
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Cooldreh:
So i found the issue, my ports are all USB 3.0, i had to use a usb 2.0 adapter for the flashing to work. I was able to flash your rom, but when installing the Gapps package, they installed successfully but they did not show up on the phone, I did this with other gapps packages but the same result. What could be the issue?
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] RomanLeFrais:
Glad you figured it out but the usb 3.0 should work I don't know why you can't. For the Gapps straight after the installation you should receive a notification to backup your phone etc can you check with FX explorer in /system/priv-app and /system I don't remember which one (as root of course) to see if there is any google app. Check also in the settings if you see Google Play Services installed. Its strange that it didn't worked, wich version of openGapps did you choose ? The one that was provided in my ROM ? In this case I have no idea why it didn't worked :confused:
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] borsus:

hello how did you do for the gaps with the rom? What steps have you taken to get the playstore working? thanks
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] RomanLeFrais:
Hi the mokee dev has openGapps on their website https://download.mokeedev.com/extension.html#gapps but I doubt it is different than the ones on the official website https://opengapps.org/

You need ARM64 and 9.0 btw

Recovery

Hi thanks and I did everything, the only thing I can't find is the recovery of them, with the current one incremental updates give error !!!! Can you help me thanks
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] RomanLeFrais:
By recovery you mean TWRP ? You can find it in my ROM, I can't upload it here because of the XDA's files limit

Wut ? I don't understand lol if you try to update mokee you need to download it on their website and reflash it :confused:
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Ashba01:
Twrp

Thanks for the answers, I mean the twrp I donated to get incremental updates but through twrp it gives me error, in the mokee site it is said of a dedicated twrp but I can't find it
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] RomanLeFrais:
Then I don't know, I never used MoKee before. By error you mean when you try to flash a .zip update or a img ? And what does it say ? Can you take a picture ?
[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] Ashba01:

[ZTE Nubia X Guides, News, & Discussion] RomanLeFrais:
"system/bin/adbd has unexpected contents." It look like you modified the stock adbd executable from the MoKee ROM, it could be either Magisk that need its own or Gapps etc. You can move adbd from the MoKee system.img to your phone so the sum will match but if anything else has changed you'll need to do the same for each executable. In the flashable .zip/META-INF/com/google/android/ you can find updater-script, this script is what TWRP do when you flash a .zip, Try so see which file it check by openning it with a text editor, for example

if (range_sha1("/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system", "56,1,263,278,595,8342,8350,8351,8352,8355,8357,11672,12125,12126,12127,13609,14824,15549,15550,17069,17070,17730,17732,18108,18109,18112,18113,18154,18156,18165,18166,18297,18298,18317,32770,33014,98306,98550,163842,164086,229378,229622,294914,295158,524301,524302,524303,531878,819202,819446,884738,884982,934102,999759,1015600,1015807,1015808") == "376a60daab4e6c4ae0ac247d48b16f4747cee717" || block_image_verify("/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system", package_extract_file("system.transfer.list"), "system.new.dat", "system.patch.dat")) then
ui_print("Verified system image...");

check if the sha1 of some part of the system partition is equal to 376a60daab4e6c4ae0ac247d48b16f4747cee717, then verify if bsdiff can update and print "Verified system image...", take a look here

Or else, download the latest nightly from the MoKee website and flash system.img so you will keep your data, Magisk but will need to reinstall Gapps. I would suggest to see the changelog before flashing a new system.img because MoKee release one quite frequently.

If you really want to use the flashable .zip you can do like i said and/or open a thread on their forum https://bbs.mokeedev.com/c/international-discussions

I hope it helped :)

Sir can you provide me the link for Nubia x global rom
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] henrylar:
I bought an extra phone cheap (H990N) - was warned that there were problems with the reception. I bought it from France, and live in Denmark. The problem seems to be that it has difficulties shifting between 4g and UMTS, that I use for calling on my working phone. It gets stuck, and will not work with data/ calls. The signal is stronger than my well functioning H990DS (using same sim card), and it can now and then make a phone call, and now and then get data. I have been in the *#*#4636#*#* menu, and played with the settings.

My working phone (H990DS) has the LTE/UMTS (PRL) setting, which shifts between LTE in data, and UMTS in calling without any troubles. In the new unstable phone I have seen both working in the new (H990N) phone, but it does not shift, and after shifting between data/ calling it stops working until I restart in the ping test menu. As far as I can see, the Hong Kong model should have all the relevant frequencies, but it gets stuck. I can mostly get a stable LTE if I choose LTE only. That works fine for data, but I cannot use that for calling.

The phone is in a very good physically condition, and everything else works fine - GPS, wifi, apart from problems with connecting.

I have LGUP'ed it to newest Oreo, and also inspected the contacts at bottom plastic thing with the antenna and the motherboard. Everything looks fine, and as mentioned, the measured reception in the hidden menu is even better than in my working phone.

I assume that the fault is either some firmware issues -but it sustained when updating from Nougat to Oreo, which gave me acces to the secret menu.

Is there anything else I can try, apart from putting it away as spare parts, or buy another motherboard?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ShadowJP88:
I had my pixel 3 in my pocket and went into the water (not salted at least).

I went down to nostril, so my phone was completely submerged for less than 5 minutes but at it have an ip87 so I didn't care

I've seen that every camera had humidity I it and a few hours later,a black spot appear in the screen, the day after, screen is death....

?

Is the warranty will be able to work?

At which point the ip87 can assure it is waterproof?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] sliding_billy:
Not sure where you are getting IP87? The Pixel 3 and 3 XL are considered IP68 devices. See the Google Safety and Regulatory document and have fun trying to explain that it was fully submerged and that should be considered water resistant. https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/9134668?hl=en

Water Resistance

Your phone is water resistant but not waterproof. Your Pixel 3 or Pixel 3 XL phone has a water resistance rating of IPX8 under IEC standard 60529. Water resistance may be compromised due to normal wear and tear or damage to the phone. The phone charger and other accessories are not water resistant. Do not charge the device when wet.
