Hi, I'm fairly new to this rooting business -- but successfully did so with a Huawei G300 (CM10.1-R3) ; now wish to explore doing so with my Huawei U8652 -- but there're not the same "easy" guides as there are with the G300
BUT
have used ROM Manager to install CWM on the phone after having rooted it -- but the version ROM Manager installed was 4.0.1.5
--
the latest version mentioned in discussions I've seen of upgrading the ROM on this phone is 5.2.7
for the G300 I downloaded 6.0.2 -- which isn't without its problems it seems (seems to interfere with Google Now, though I'm too much of a newbie to say why this could be -- I'm not the only one with the problem however, going by the posts on the CM site
the procedure for rooting and installing a new ROM on the G300 installed 6.0.1 initially, which I upgraded to 6.0.2 by flashing zip file - that earlier version isn't without its probs either -- OTA upgrades don't work properly, but Google Now seems NOT to be interfered with at least
could I
go through the procedure for the G300, from the stage where it installs the bootloader and CWM?
install the newer version despite its problems with Google Now?
are these versions "compatible" with the Huawei 8652?
install some other version -- I've found links to 5.2 but none of the links seem to work
There is no such universal CWM.

thanks -- what I was afraid of, but ...

thanks for the prompt reply -- that's what I was afraid, and it sure pays to be careful
speaking of which, sometimes you have to take a punt
don't know what it's reputation is like, but I've found what appears to be a listing of relevant files' links to storage sites FileCrop -- though it's hard to know exact details of what they are just from an abbreviated name, and the names don't really link on Google to any discussion of them
Sheesh!!
thanks again

if you have android 4.1.2 - use Framaroot.apk, install it in your z5
if you have android 4.2.2 - use chinesse Vroot. install it in your computer and follow instruction.
all methods are working. I`m used both methods on different ROM`s

Hi, i just have a nx501 too... i already rooted it but how can i install a recovery and which rom can i install on this phone? i cant find anything on google.. can you helpme please?
Root (check) Recovery & ROM (no check)
Greets to all,
I just got this device myself & rooted it yesterday with the Framaroot.apk & Gandalf exploit. It's a very nice phone & takes great photos! (Btw, I sold my Xperia Z Ultra & used the money to buy this phone; the Z Ultra was simply too big, had no flash & screen mirroring was completely unstable). Unfortunately, almost everything out there about this phone is in Chinese; even the recoveries are in Chinese. I found a few pages about a Kitkat 4.4 ROM for this device, but the download is in 3 parts and online surveys must be completed to activate the downloads One of the pages can be found if you search for "Upgrade/Update ZTE Nubia Z5 to 4.4 KitKat" but I think it's likely bogus.
If anyone can find an English recovery or decent ROM for this device, please post & thanks in advance!
Edit: It seems there are ROMS and CWM recovery on the MIUI website (search "ZTE" and separately "recovery" on the English [en] site). I'm downloading a version 5 ROM but may not have time to check it out today.
Thanks bro

Thanks bro, i will try that one too... if you already test it please tell us how about the rom..!!!
You use which? ZTE Z5 MINI? or how do you know what model to download the rom???
waiting on a recovery
Hi cesarguaro,
Unfortunately, the recoveries mentioned on the site are not for Qualcom based devices like our NX501s; therefore, I haven't tried the ROM I found for the Nubia Z5 yet. It's too bad the stock recovery can't be used for backing up the ROM even though it can likely be used to install the ROM (which is too risky without a backup IMO). Have you installed a non-Chinese, usable recovery yet?
As for Miui, if you go to en dot miui dot com, you'll see the downloads link right at the top. Under "Brands" click on the ZTE logo and you're on your way
I am planning to buy one of these tablets to tinker with. After some searching, I found the following rom alternatives:
http://www.arctablet.com/blog/forum...-firmware-version-1-04-test-version-20130723/

http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/89434-custom-firmware-from-4pda-based-on-stock-104/
Do you know of any other worthwhile rom to try out, or are these three all that's available?
Anyone?

thanks for sharing, gonna try the TempestU39GT
There's also 1.05 multiwindow rom that some say is better than stock 1.04, download is here :
rom
Do not buy the Cube U39GT-3G version of this tablet, I ordered one from http://www.cube-tablet.com and it came with a wrong IMEI number. I cannot use any SIM data card because of this with this tablet.
I bought the Wifi version, so I am not in danger. Thanks for the warning though, it certainly speaks of extremely crappy QA.
racht: anytime, and thank you for the link to 1.5.
It seems like another rom might be on the works:
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?8204-Are-there-any-worthwhile-roms-for-the-Cube-U39GT
Apparently it will be based on stock 1.04 instead of 1.05, but if it comes to completion it might be worth it to try it out.

ROM has been uploaded yesterday but the dev doesn't own a U39GT. So anyone willing to test can do it now
I can't believe that slipped by me. Thanks for the heads-up. :good:
http://www.arctablet.com/blog/forum...2-custom-root-firmware-version-1-06-20131123/
This looks promising as well with 1.06 Cube firmware update and AOSP launcher.
New original Cube firmware 1.06 is downloadabl from official cube site.
http://www.51cube.com/ch/DownShow.asp?ID=205
I can recommend Google for translating the chinese, you can download the ROM from baidu which could take a few hours.
Awesome, thanks for the heads-up.
They require registration to access the downloads? Dammit, I refuse to create an account just to go and download something. Do you have an account there, locutus2000? If so, would you be willing to mirror it somewhere?
I was able to fix the IMEI issue, so it is safe to buy, again. The support from the vendor was not helpful, the wrong IMEI number is not only wrong for me but for all of the sold models. They all have 111111111111111 as IMEI number, no big deal with the MTK Droid Tools I was able to load a new IMEI, that was generated from an internet site. It works with the SIM cards now.
Important to know: the Cube 9 Talk with the 3G SIM card uses MediaTek MTK8389T CPU whereas the Cube 9 without the SIM card 3G feature uses a RockChip RK3188 CPU. The ROMs are not interchangeable.
So whatever issues you may have, it may be a completely different story for the person that owns the other chipset. Strange enough that Cube built two similar products with completely different hardware.
The Cube U39GT 3G ROM Version 1.03 for the 3G version can be found here:
http://www.51cube.com/ch/DownShow.asp?ID=206
If you have donwloaded and unpacked the firmware, you may end up with chinese folder names. Flash tool did not accept the scatter file when I tried to select it using these folder names.
To resolve this: Simply create a new folder name and copy/paste the ROM of the Cube to the new folder, the update should then work with the Flashtool. I have used Version 3.1328.0.183. The update takes a while so be patient. Worked with mine.

Flyme 7 Coming to Older Phones Like Meizu PRO 5.. to see click here :fingers-crossed:
It's good news, currently only 4.7% of mobile phones have Oreo.
The trouble is until Flyme gets stable
And if there are new drivers maybe someone (@faust93) is able to port it to Resurrection Remix 6, which is still in beta on most phones
You just have to wait and all the pieces are put together
They just released the Meizu 15 with Android 7.1.2. and Flyme OS 7, does not even come with Oreo.
I'm very disappointed!
Meizu is one year behind in the design and software of its mobile phones. They pass the fashions without offering anything.
I expected them to catch up, but nothing. He's going to win a bad name forever.
They will end up putting the sign closed for vacations, which we already know what it means.
Above, they do not pay Google for having Google Play well. The International Version is a fake, they aren't Certified
And they also have blocked the bootloader so you can not install any ROM (there are none in the Meizu Pro 6, Pro 7).
My next mobile will not be a Meizu is clear. In 2015, they competed with Xiaomi, I thought that they would get over them but they have chosen very bad strategies, such as making several versions (China, the International), moving away from Google, problems with apps, very similar designs for all their phones, prices that are too high compared to the competition , many software failures in Flyme, without Android updates ...
Luckily I have it with RR and Android 7.1.2 (in 3G and without finger print but this does not matter at all). And I'm happy with him !!
You do not need another Android if you have it well customized (Substratum, Exposed, Magisk Manager ..).
But it would be cool to have RR with Oreo..
Flyme 7 is out since 22.04.18 and IS NOT BASED on Oreo
It's again based on Nougat 7.0
I've tried 7.8.4.22 A, not soo bad, some little bugs with camera and other things but overall 's good
in 2022 i bet they are going to have oreo
or meizu will die
Meizu has disappointed me so much that I bought another mobile (not from Meizu). I have endured so much thanks to the Faust93 ROM but I could not do it anymore, it was a little on a whim, more than other things
Meizu was downgrading ever since 2015 and their strategy to focus on the Chinese market with dozens of new devices every year led to abandoning all their previous flagships and lack of focus on software updates. Obviously providing regular up-to-date upgrades does not bring in too much revenue compared to the new devices ranging from budget to flagships that bring in millions. This fact showed their real face - hunt for money rather than for creating an outstanding product and attracting even more customers. Pro 5 is my first Meizu phone and is definitely the last one. Even with running RR 7.1.2 and fully and smoothly functioning hardware, I do really lack fingerprint option and I don't like having any sacrifices on the device. which once used to be a flagship and still has pretty powerful insides to date. I like trying different roms and flashing firmware, but for the testing purposes, not because I am forced to in order to have more or less up-to-date Android version and properly working Google Services and Play Store. This is just ridiculous and disgusting.
Did someone tried flyme 7, this version 7.8.5.8?
hi everybody.
I'm surfing the internet.
https://www.getdroidtips.com/flyme-os-7-meizu-pro-5/
I came across this site.
I downloaded and installed the Meizu pro5 Flyme 7.0.2.0A from the https://www.flyme.cn/firmwarelist-23.html#3 link provided on the site. I got backup of my phone. I've installed wipe cache. And it works.
I wanted to share it with you.
Notes:
- I had a flyme 6.3 rom.
- I installed vipe cache from the first installation. sim network did not work. vipe cache cleaning and installed all functions worked.
-Flyme has added facial recognition and works very nicely.
- Press the power button. I installed the version uplink type. As described in the first link. (https://www.getdroidtips.com/flyme-os-7-meizu-pro-5/)
-I've been using it for two days. very nice. Flyme7 is the original system board and stable.
- Before loading, change the ro.product.locale = zh-CN line in the zip file (update.zip/system/build.prop) to -> ro.product.locale = en-US.
- Bad news - I use English. Problems can occur in other languages.
The pro5 really got android 8.0!?
Maybe I should (after switching to the global version a year ago) back to the chinese roms...
Are the google apps all working? Incl. contacts etc?
Thanks already for the update!
pro 5 now is with oreo??
i´m speechless lol
Unfortunately nope, Oreo was only a dream for us

Hi all,
Since it seems there are not updates coming for the global version of pro5 anymore I am considering to switch to the Chinese ROM.
Is it possible to install the latest Chinese version to a GLOBAL Pro5?
If it is a more complex process, do you have instructions a link that shows how to do it?
Thanks a lot!
Jan

i think you have to change the product label to chinese ( i tried without doing so and i failed miserably )
it's depend on what recovery you use to update, stock or TWRP. If with TWRP, you need to replace bootloader and recovery in zip to be unlocked bootloader and custom recovery.
Hello everyone!
I put myself in a problem here, my mum wanted a new phone and I suggest led Lenovo Z5 as her best option.
I put my money into my alipocket and I was about to buy it when I noticed that there isn't any official international ver of it.
I wouldn't mind the Chinese room if it means I get updates, but I don't know if I can actually install Google play on it..I can't see any info on Zmui
Also if I bought the Chinese ver,will I be able to flash a official international stock rom on it and receive OTA update?
Or will the same idea work if I bought the rooted ver they offer?
about z5
i am a chinese and i bought a Z5 about 3 weeks ago.
The most attractive part of the phone is the 1080P LED screen after using a AMOLED for a long time (worried about my eyesight)
I've never used a ZUI before (i've MI 3 && OP3T). Before buying the phone, my friend tell me about the bad impact of ZUI to his Z2 (AnTuTu Tester remark is lower a lot than a aosp and some roms ) which means the optimization of ZUI may be bad.
After getting the phone, the ZUI annoy me ... Though the ZUI 3.9Ver is based on 8.1 with GAPPS in it, the settings is too poor and the gesture is not well enough. Although with a 6G size RAM, it killed app even you lock it (the utilization is low means most of ram is useless ....). I dislike the ZUI default launcher(ZUI launcher) and replace it with Pixel launcher.
About Root: the phone do not support root or you Warranty is go, but you still have way to root it
About OTA: the rom support OTA if it is not rooted
hmmm last i cannot find any rom like los to flash (that's really shame)
I am really satisfied with the screen ( it must be the best in screen in this price )
Hi
I just bought the phone and it will arrive next week.
I have been really attracted by the looks.
I think I can leave with ZUI.
But tell me how is the performance of the camera both in good but also low light conditions?
Hi i'm from Spain and i love the desing of this phone levono z5 but i want to know if it comes with ZUI i could change it to android, is this posible?

Hi, i am assuming you dont like ZUI and want to change to stock android,
Well the phone is still new to the market, i have not seen any developer working on a rom yet, as of now there are no other options then using the stock operating system.
FYI, i am using Zuk z2 pro with custom rom from mokeedev which is also stock android. I got my Lenovo Z5 last week, there is lot of chinese bloatware in there, so i havent switched yet, i am also waiting for a different android operating system. hope this helps.
I bought one from DX.com
You can switch the language to English, but there will be a few Chinese elements (eg. on the keyboard)
These can be easily fixed by installing a 3rd party keyboard, for example.
Mine didn't come with any Google apps but I was able to install the Google Play Store from this APK:

It supports project treble. Some users flashed the stock rom through that. But I think official engineers never try hard in bug fix.
Thanks everyone about the information! If only Lenovo used Stock android like Umidigi Z2! It would have been excellent to use
But is Lenovo z5 going to have a Android P update? If so then wouldn't that optime the phone in the future?
Or is it possible to wait for a working stock android rom for Lenovo z5 ?
Another thing, my mum loves the super bright screen on Lenovo and it's big, she says she wants a lot of her apps running in the background and she needs USB C
I don't trust Umidigi phones, Oppo A5 is over priced with no fingerprint sensor and low ram, vivo phones don't have USB C and xiaomi phones are just darn ugly.
is there any twrp in our lenovo z5?

Lenovo Z5 ROM problem
:crying:Good afternoon, I bought a lenovo z5 arrived yesterday, when I called it I noticed that there was no software of the ZUI, ie, it has a rom that is not for this phone, does not match the notifications with the notch, has navigation bar etc. nothing matches, what do I do? Does anyone know where I can download the appropriate ROM for it?
i bought it at geekbuying
I'm in the same exact situation as Paulacfmsimoes, bought the z5 from geekbuying and it came preinstalled with a butchered frankestein version of the stock rom. Its bootloader is unlocked as well. I'm desperately trying to find a way to install the normal stock rom version, so if anyone has an idea, please help!
Please HELP!!!
I Deleted some important system files on the phone and now it does not torn on.
i did managed to install the TWRP recovery so if one of you guys hes this phone and you can upload me a system backup with TWRP you will save my ass!!
i bought this phone to my girlfriends birthday and now its dead
pleaseee replay and help me
This would be the absolute perfect time for one of you guys to help us out. (both us idiots that bought the phone from geekbuying with that beaten down custom rom and cohavio as well). I anyone with ZUI 3.9 that has the chinese and english version of the rom could make a back-up, that would be awesome!
