Hi, i have just bought a Z2 Pro and i have a few questions on what's the best setup i can do with it and put onto it. I think i have the international ROM on the device as it came with Google Play store and it has plenty of languages to choose from.
In Settings/About it states it has Android 6.0.1 and ZUI Version 2.3.044 ST on it.
I cannot for the life of me find how to check if there is an update for the ZUI on the phone so i am wondering how i can go about updating the firmware without voiding any warranty. I have limited experience in rooting phones and i would like to see if i can live with the latest ZUI version before delving into custom ROM'S to be honest.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to upgrade the official international firmware for the ZUK Z2 Pro?
Regards
Stuart
it seems you've an unofficial vendor ROM
so you need to unlock bootloader and then flash with QFIL tool proper stock ROM or custom ROM (GizRom Nougat 7.x).
you will find all infos here: zukfans.eu/community/forums/zuk-z2-pro.4/
Thank you for clearing it up for me. I will look into bootloaders and flashing a ROM version onto it to get a more up to date version of android.

With QFIL you don´t need to unlock your bootloader

@stu1690 i would advise you to double/triple read these guides and most of the user comments after the OP too...you will often find solutions and posted fixes from people who have got the guide wrong and stuff,let me know if you want to link over at china-devices when you are ready and i will do my best to help you out mate

I managed to update to the latest ZUI but if i am honest it's not to my liking as half of the apps and writing is in Chinese so it's got to go.
I am now looking at how to put a custom Nougat ROM on that doesn't have many problems on the Z2 PRO. I believe i will have to figure out how to root the phone and possibly unlock the bootloader before flashing.
Are there any guides in how to flash a custom ROM on this site and what would be considered the best ROM to use?

Stu

I followed this guide which worked fine for unlocking the bootloader and rooting : https://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z2-pro/how-to/howto-install-mokee-7-1-1-unofficial-t3582686
Except instead of flashing Mokee, I recommend flashing this version of AICP : https://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z2-pro/development/rom-aicp-12-1-n-zuk-z2-pro-t3596836 . It's not officially supported by AICP but it's the only one I found where everything works perfectly, including customizing the U-touch gestures, and it comes with Magisk to manage root which is nice I think. Just don't forget to deactivate the 3 Chinese apps that are bundled with the ROM.

MOD EDIT Duplicate found in Dev section here
Here is link - http://www.securespaces.com/WP2015/index.php/downloads/
Thanks
Thanks for posting the link.
Once you have the ROM flashed there is 1 free Hidden Space app (Calculator) and 2 paid apps $0.99 each for Web Login and Clock ... these allow you to secretly access the hidden space. But you don't need the apps to create a personal space or a downloaded (Tor space, WeChat , on the website)
Hi
I would like to try this rom, but I would like to know if I can easily step back..
I'm currently using marshmallow, is correct to make a nandroid backup, then flash and test this 5.1.1 rom and, in case, flash my backup to restore MM?
Will this rom work with MM bootloader and radio or will it affect my daily use?

Hi Marcuzio81
Yes the ROM will work with your current radio and bootloader, just back up your current image , flash our ROM , Try it out, and restore to your original image. I also recommend you try a Hidden Space App which you can get from the play store.
Here is the link to the currently free Calculator app.

Can you provide details about the device, I assume its a Google Nexus 5 not the 5X, since the ROM only supports the older model. Can you also provide the version of the bootloader and radio.
Thanks
I confirm it's the fabulous, ever green nexus 5
My bootloader is hhz12k, I'm not able so far to check the radio but I suppose it's the latest one coming with MM AS I've flashed the google factory image...
You could flash back to factory 5.1.1 "hammerhead" and try flashing our ROM from there. I will see if I can reproduce your issue from MM.

I have L29C567B183 and I flashed this rom B211. It booted up however many functions does not work properly for example I cannot get into developer option, backup and restore will reboot the phone, fingerprinting does not work, .... I flashed Kangvip B186 without problem. I do not think it will work properly on your phone unless your firmware is up to date (B211).

There is no Kangvip B183 for Mate 9. Only Kangvip B175, B186, and B211. I am on C567B183 and I flashed KangVip B186 without problem. Since you are on B130 you should start with Kangvip B175 and see if it works.

you must have base rom B211 for flash rom kangvipB211. I think you must rebrand to rom china and update ota to B211.

Hi! I purchased the MiMIX upon launch and have been using it in Canada on the Rogers/AT&T network without issue. However, I've never received any prompts to do any system updates (currently my version is MIUI 8.0.8.0). I see that there have been a few updates since launch. Is there some reason I didn't get the OTA notifications? Where is a reliable download site to find official latest releases?
Thanks!

Thanks lesscro. To confirm, would I use the Recovery Rom or the Fastboot Rom to update? I'll be updating from the original rom that the phone came with (8.0.8.0).
I got the update as well. Just installed it. It changed the font slightly and made all the icons look more ugly . Wish I'd never updated . I don't understand why they're releasing small MIUI 8 updates when MIUI 9 is out ! When will I get a global stable MIUI 9 update via OTA???
Actually MIUI 9 is in beta stage for Global branch...
Can anyone help on how to install this on rooted mi mix?

Hi everyone, recently i've tried to flash a custom recovery (TWRP) and a custom rom (pixel experience) on my Redmi 8.
But after succesfully installing them, i noticed that there were lots of cool things you could do with a rooted phone.
So, i decided to install Magisk (v25.2) on it.
After the setup was done, it would go to bootloop, so, i recovered it by flashing the boot image of the rom i was using (still pixel experience) and it worked!
My phone went back to normal, but i still want to install Magisk.
Everytime i try to install it, the same thing happens over and over.
Can someone help me please?
Thank you.

iirc this version of pix exp should be able to use root and change kernels, it was another version that was picky. did you try an older magisk version? which pix exp were you having probs with?
you prolly got this rom from elsewhere right?
sadly most mi439 users arent active on the xda, and typically on telegram

Sorry, I don't understand, what do you mean by "you got this ROM from elsewhere right?"
I got this ROM from the official site of pix exp.
where did you see a posting of this rom? i dont think its posted in this olive subforum, and the dev (shield) is an lite+wood dev
the term mi439 isnt really recognized here, but its gaining recognition (like most roms, and even on twrp) :3
