I NEED HELP!! GENESIS GT-7104 TABLET .....
Hello, I'm in trouble ... only program that I can not reinstall or get a better version of the android was FWDN, this program does not detect my device at all.
wanted to know if there is another way to do it via USB, as the Android version of gingerbread device and system 2.3.1.
Specifications:
android 2.3 gingerbread
cortex a8 1.2 ghz
512 mb ram
4 gb flash HD
Multi touch
wifi
OpenGL 3D accelerator
''7-inch screen 800 * 480
Digital Camera 1.3
and bla bla bla
- I tried both, but I thought ... a compatible tablet .... and GPAD702
UL identical to the tablet ....
I need to change the android tablet for a previous version or a newer version ... because this version is that the unit has all buggy ...
The machine has 4GB HD recognizes like 2.5 gb of free space ... FWDN used the program, but had no success please help me .....
USB TABLET DRIVER'S GT-7104:
REMEMBERING THAT THE DRIVER TO INSTALL USB RK29, has to be manually.
- But among other problems to be solved, I will still continue their studies here:
1 - To put into order FAST MODE:
- Unplug the appliance, or if you prefer ........... click RESET push the button and the + or button with the arrow ->''right''
Now the device and detected by the pc or is being FAST MODE .... so do not be surprised how FAST MODE''black screen''..
and normal to the model ¬ ° aff ...
- When trying to connect the tablet again .. he will be brik .... NOT SCARE hold the''small''RESET for 3 seconds and release, then hold the''POWER'', he returns to life!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
however, I'm behind the solution ... for my tablet .. GT -7104 q may be occurring?!
1 - I was missing the driver can be compatible but not the correct USB driver, I could be wrong ¬¬....
But first comes the tablet mode FAST MODE''black screen''.. how do I know if he is in fast mode''so''?
pressing the ESC key''or''''+''or''home''.
him and recognized by the computer as a device''device rk29''... if I'm wrong correct me please!
2 - Testing the program FWDN, well this program does not detect the tablet ... wanted to use it a lot ...
3 - Testing RKtools the program, the program seems to recognize the tablet, but the program seems to be having problems routing the firmware it says FIRMWARE FAILURE .....'' got lucky huh .....
4 - Testing the ROM Device Manager, but not tested it without the root of the tablet with Android is that 2.3.1 has no root I think ....
PLEASE HELP ME .........................

ICS 4.0.3 for HD for all 900

Android Ice Cream Sandwich for HD for all 900yer base on the Hi3716C Soc​
Hello dear friends I managed to get working a new Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3 based on the 3.0.8 kernel and the update zips.
Requirements:
An Eboda HD for all 900 player (If you don't have one, buy one )
The device must be up to date with the latest original v1.0.0.r938 rom. The download page can be found here
An sdcard/usb-stick formated using FAT file system with at least 256 MB free space
Lots of guts (If you follow the procedure right nothing bad should happen)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Disclaimer
I am not responsible for any damage what-so-ever done to your Eboda HD for all 900, as with any ROM.
You accept this risk on your own !!!.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Instalation Procedure:
Be Aware that the install procedure will delete all data from the internal SD-CARD !!!
So back-up everything that is important
Get an USB-stick/SD-Card
Format the USB-Stick/SD-Card using FAT file system
Copy update_system.zip and update.zip to the USB-Stick/SD-Card
Make sure that you TV is switched on and the Player is connected to it
Shut down the player
Unplug any storage (USB-Sticks, SD-Cards, External or Internal Hard-Drives)
Unplug the power cable from the player
Insert the USB-Stick/SD-Card into the player
Push the player power button and keep it held down
With the power button held down plug in the player's power cable
Keep the player's power button held down for at least 5 seconds (you should be now in recovery mode)
Now the update procedure will start you will be able to see it happening on the TV
The update procedure has 2 main stages, after stage 1 it will reboot and continue the second one.
When the second stage will finish the updater progress bar will reach 100%
Wait till the second stage finishes then unplug the power cable and plug it back to boot the device
Congratulation !!! you flashed Android 4.0.3 on Eboda HD for all 900
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Do not install any original/non original rom made by EBODA or whatever over this 4.0.3 version !!! It can brick your device permanently !!!
If you want to come back to the original v1.0.0.r938 you will find the instruction bellow.
After coming back to the factory version with the bellow procedure to v1.0.0.r938 you can install what ever ROM you wish on your own risk.
Installation Notes:
The installation will happen in 2 stages, the player will reboot once and continue with stage 2
After the second stage finishes you must unplug the power cable and plug it back again to boot the device.
This is necessary because of a bug in the new 3.0.8 kernel that does not handle well the power management.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Not Working:
The shut down.When you shut down the player it will enter in sleep mode.
Shunting down by command line will generate a kernel panic and the device will freeze,
case in which you need to unplug the power cable.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What is next:
Fixing the shutdown
Demystifying and eventually finding out why the player uses only 256 MB of RAM
Adding XBMC
Adding a launcher more suitable for a media player
Adding more specific media player stuff, like apps etc..
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Reinstalling the original v1.0.0.r938 version:
Download the update_system.zip and the update.zip and follow the above install procedure replacing the zip update files with this ones.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

The files and the links are ok.The names of the zips are the same, that is right, but the content ins different.The update_system for the 4.0.3 and 938 are similar in size but the differences are:
update_system.zip for 4.0.3 is similar in size to the 938 but the content is slightly different.The 4.0.3 has a different bootargs.img that has been modified for the 4.0.3 rom, the boot.img (the bootloader) for the 4.0.3 is the same as for 938 with the only difference that has been patched because it hold a hard-coded partition layout for the recovery, and the recovery is completely the same.
update.zip for 4.0.3 is completely different from the one for the 9.3.8
So the files are as posted:
For 4.0.3:
update_system.zip https://www.dropbox.com/s/ogqnyasiafz4126/update_system.zip 7.96 MB
update.zip https://www.dropbox.com/s/t90did16in2whe6/update.zip 108.53 MB
For the 938
update_system.zip https://www.dropbox.com/s/wh1m1oq4xtif41n/update_system.zip 7.08 MB
update.zip https://www.dropbox.com/s/dec9fmqtai30tv4/update.zip 95.26 MB
Please don't forget to give me some feedback if you install and test it.
Best Regards

The link from 4.0.3 is sending me to a download page. If i press Direct download, the file which downloads has 98.5 MB and the same md5 like the one from 938. Can you post the files somwhere else?
Im very eager to try the firmware and i will feedback it !
PS: I'm realy amazed that you managed to make this rom! Very good job!

Hello I also reproduced the issue reported by you.
It seams that when going from the original 938 to 4.0.3 the device gets a kernel panic because of some wrong combination of kernel and recovery.
Looking forward to fix it.
Please give me your phone number so, I can talk about the next steps of fixing your device.
Best Regards

The bug was fixed now, but unfortunately your device is bricked and it can be restored only by using a ttl-serial to usb or tt-serial to RS-232 (computer old serial port) adapter.
Please send be your device by post and I will restore it for you since bricking it was my fault
if is not possible I can provide detailed instructions how to restore it.
Best Regards

Salut, am un AC RYAN VEOLO, stiu ca e cam acelasi lucru cu Eboda HD900, as putea incerca acest firmware sau risc prea mult?
Merci

I know it's very old but can anyone provide the links again ?
Thanks !

The manufacturer say (logically) If you change software like update or root then their is no warranty. So that's why i want to inform here what the safe options are to root this rugged phablet..
Anyone got this awesome device rooted in a safe way?

Solved !
My No.1 - X6800 is rooted with original stock rom still on it (Android 4.4.4)! Wohoo :angel:
It was easy to realize a way without the need of a computer: KingRoot and SuperSumePro :
(step 1) First use latest KingRoot app (click here to get their)
It can be that Kingroot seems to be jammed at the end, just re-use the root function and it will root the X6800.
After that kingroot rooted the No.1 X6800 :
(step 2) Use the program Super Sume pro (click here to get their)
SupersumePro cost a little bit, but then the X6800 is always rooted with SuperSU root access manager on stock pre-installed rom. (No.1 website doesn't have a 'firmware download' of the X6800 ... yet.)
Has to do with the fact that not everybody is sure about the logging of your device what KingRoot does. Some people do prefer to switch a.s.a.p. to SuperSU instead of keep using KingRoot.
(but big thanks to kingroot to be able to root the device in first place)
ALSO BE SURE TO READ WHAT IS WRITTEN IN APP STORE AT SUPERSUMEPRO, BECAUSE IT"S NOT ONLY ABOUT NOTE4.
I quote:
Warning: Do NOT remove apps from /system/apps or /system/priv-app or it could cause issues. Block them instead from either the command line or with Debloater.

Hi everybody
Please, can you send me folders system/app and system/priv-app from this phone? I cleaned some apps and accidently lost backup of these folders My email is [email protected]
Thank you for help.

I think It's a default Android 4.4.4.
What file manager did you use? Becuase the default file manager doesn't have access to those directories. (not even with a rooted device)
I'm uploading the directories to my Linux computer now with SFTP, but i'm first going to find out if their is any personal info in it. If so then it's a no-go.
Damn you're a lucky guy. Here we go:
Click here for No.1 X6800 system-app
Click here for No.1 X6800 system-priv-app
(ask me for decryption keys)
Useful thing:
Do ask No.1 for a recovery image. I did it too, if we all do then they maybe offer a firmware download for X6800.
Because they do offer downloads with 'firmware' of other models.
I send a email towards their sale = [email protected] and marketing = [email protected] . I cannot find other contact ways then calling on their website.

Hi
I am using Root Explorer, there possible copy/move files in all locations in the phone (with root access of course). Also Total Commander has root permissions, you can try it, it's free.
In these folders are stock app only and they are not touching by using phone (not including any user's data) - you can check their dates. But naturally - recovery image is the best way, I can extracted these apps from there OK, let's wait for official stock ROM.
If you want try handling some apps from/to keep in mind - permissions of apps in these folders must have rw-r--r-- (long tap on app in root explorer -> permissions)

I only use FtpCafe app to goto those directories (transfer them over SFTP to computer to make changes on computer, and transfer it back. That way i always have a backup on computer.
If i use filemanager with rootacces, then I can mess up the system on the X6800 too easily :silly:

Check your messages. I just send the decryption keys of Mega.
If you can't extract the tar files, and got a windows hell, use 7zip.
And do email No.1, if we X6800 users all do they probably put the firmware online on their downloads site. (I'm a satisfied user of the X6800)

Hello x6800 owners
I started the post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/1-x2-root-problems-t3107357
I wanted to give any owners/buyers or potential buyers a heads up about this device and link you to my post because the x2 and the x6800 are the same (-battery size and backup battery)
1) the x2 and x6400 are 64-bit hardware with 32-bit kernel (unless there was any update I missed) check with videos of the device on youtube reviews if you don't own, watch for reviews that show benchmark results from Antutu or run this test if you own the device.
2) battery size is a huge 2000mAh- whatever they say, the x2 is advertised as 4000... try 2000 as I have tested. the x6800 is the same, 6000main battery (sticker in videos says 5000) tested by Russians and other users at 4000mAh. the backup is most likely less than 800mAh as well.
3) No.1 wont support warranty claims no matter how you contact them (I and several others have tried after buying from the non genuine shop that claims it is genuine who wont help you). So buy from shops that use PayPal so you get the 180 protection or buy from a store you know and have used for a warranty claim or a shop that is located in your country and have a real 1 year warranty under government law (Australia 1 year anything bought from within Aus)
4) Camera is only 7.7 on my x2 (they use interpolation/upscaling to hit 13MP - meaning software/hardware is making up pixels from your 7.7 Mega pixels based on one of the cheap interpolation techniques... meaning quality is better if you use the 8 MP stock setting or 7.7 (in the "a better camera" apk).
5) water proof of IP68 is a stretch too based on my experience, so don't stick it in water for more than 0 seconds. mine was repaired after falling and coming out the bath immediately, and it came back in a slightly better state but still after less than a min in a swimming pool and now it has no touch capability.
6) no google support - so no movies or youtube for google movie or youtube purchased videos. google apk from 3.x.x version (forget which one) will run but needs some help to get through a video purchase such as hitting "try again" many times.
I doubt the "crush proof" rating on my x2 after having opened up this device and seeing how flimsy it is.
I hope you find this useful
I do like the phone but I am trying the blackview bv5000
read the forum link on the X2 as the issues will be the same and if you want a 64bit phone with 64bit OS try the No.1 x2i or dive in with me and try a blackview bv5000
markatkins

X1 and X2 are smaller/flatter then X6800. So maybe a bit more weak. The Blackview is way more fragile then No.1 X6800.
(1) how can i see if it has 64bit kernel/software. 32bit is fine. I mean look at desktop/server usage, 64bit has only impact when memory is bigger then 4 Gigabyte, and when you use heavy apps who need it. A Phablet rarely need 64bit power. But hey, that's my opinion.
(2) Can you give sources? Besides, any rechargable battery get less capacity everytime it's charged. Here it runs 3 days, or one and a half intensive day.
(3) For warranty, you need to contact the seller, not the manufacturer.
(4) Do you've sources about the pixels of the camera's. (but you're talking about another model, not the X6800)
(5) My X6800 has been 5 minutes under water, without any problems. Also being outside in the Dutch rain, no problem. Of course you must be sure that the rubber flaps on power & headphone sockets are closed.
(6) No google support? I have google support here. I installed youtube without any problem. (i don't buy movies on youtube, i download them)
Only thing i want is...Some tool to fully backup to a rom image.
Original bootloader (turn it on with volume up + powerbutton) has only update , factory reset and wipe cache options.

Meanwhile I give it a try to start from scratch in learning how to create a custom rom for the X6800.
I prefer Cyanogenmod (I like the privacy settings).
If someone else have the combination:
-having a No.1 X6800 device
-having CM rom creation skills
Then feel free to give a reply here on Cyanogenmod forum.
Because i really need to learn everything from scratch as enduser, and i don't have a factory default rom (No.1 just don't reply to rom requests). So I'm extremely careful, i don't want to brick my X6800 because i make a mistake in creating CM image.

Ok folks...Forget it.
My No.1 - X6800 is already broken.
The outside is really strong. Nothing wrong with that.
But the inside of the X6800 is like playmobil.(fragile as low budget Chinese electronics)
My X6800 fall out of my hoody. Dropped down like 40 centimeters on a hard floor, and the phone is perfect from the outside, but it sucks from the inside.
The speaker is broken, and it doesn't vibrate anymore. So a phone that is useless to get a telephone call, unless you want to look at the screen constantly..
So bye bye No.1 X6800.
Ooh and the company No.1 is not cool. If you try to contact them in China they never give a answer.
Now i try a CAT S40... Slow cpu (snapdragon 210) , low pixels of screen and camera, but rugged as hell with Android 5.1.

Exit No.1 - X6800.

@jeroensky
I had the same problem with mine after falling on a hard surface. However I was able to fix it. After disassembling the phone completely I found a ribbon cable that got disconnected from the main board. After reconnecting everything was working again.
Definitely not the best design for a rugged phone but it's great for the price. Also the water proof works but I'd recommend to check all the seals before trying it.

[TWRP, LATEST MAGISK, DEBLOATED, GAPPS] I made a custom ROM

Hi everyone ! I spent 4 entire day figure it out how to make a more "normal" ROM for this phone
I hope it could help someone. Its my first post and my first tutorial, english is not my main language.
##I don't use any of the .exe virus provided by nubia in this post:laugh:##

Mirror : https://www.1fichier.com/?u60nxhibfx1zn5raahpx
Note : I bought the Z20 I no longer have this phone so I wil stop maintening this ROM
there is some issue with the GPS, OpenGapps or google do some sort of disabling things I don't know I tried my best but I could not get it to work
The mokee team ported mokee on this phone though you can find it here : https://download.mokeedev.com/nx616j.html Thanks to EspritNewGen to let me know and test it for me :highfive: He wasn't able to pass BasicIntegrity but I'm pretty sure if you install Magisk and hide the root for the play service and install MagiskProps Config to spoof your ROM fingerprint you will even be able to play PokemonGo :laugh:​
#CHANGES :
Google app (play store etc) provided but not installed by default
Support Google backup
Disabled vbmeta (your devices is corrupt)
Changed the launcher by Lawnchair
Changed the SMS app by Silence
Changed the Nubia Browser by Firefox
Changed the default languages to en_US
Installed the latest Magisk
Riot is pre-installed (you can remove it in /system/priv-app)
Telegram is pre-installed (you can remove it in /system/priv-app)
FX PRO is pre-installed (you can remove it in /system/priv-app)
Simple-keyboard is pre-installed (you can remove it in /system/priv-app)
F-Droid is pre-installed (you can remove it in /system/priv-app)
AF-Wall is pre-installed (you can remove it in /system/priv-app)
Nubia file manager removed You need it for the MTP transfer so you need to install it later by using the two tar.gz provided in the attachment of this post
Removed all the Chinese apps
Note : Because i removed some Chinese apps like the nubia_play store for example the pets in AOD don't work (you need to install an application completely in Chinese that want call logs, contact location etc etc lol
Actually the things that don't work in the settings are :
AOD pets
Lockscreen, Launcher and Theme -> Launcher Settings
Google
Smart Service Card (i uninstalled NeoPay you can ask me if you want or mount the systemmodified.img and take it from here)
#PREPARE THE TERRAIN
First of all before loosing anything make a backup of your apps and settings using adb and also with an app like "Super Backup & Restore" for example that export your contact, sms history etc. Export all your pictures, downloads etc to your computer by usb or anything else.
You are on your own. In this tutorial i will suggest to wipe the data partition to have a clean base.
If you do something wrong simply Do the STEP 1 : Flash the ROM, TWRP and MAGISK in one paste. If there is a problem for some reason don't ask for a Discord but post here your problem -> if you can't install adb or fastboot I will help you but please search before asking.
Also, Adb does not work on all apps, some disable it in their AndroidManifest
I also say a lot of time to be in the adb directory but that's only valid for Windows and maybe Mac, on Linux its in the path except if you downloaded adb or fastboot directly as executable
Backup using ADB :
Go to settings
Click on About phone
Tap 7 times on "Build number" below the JOS version
Scroll down a little and enable "USB debugging"
Now plug it to your PC
In the notification you can see that USB debugging is turned ON
Click on "Android System · Charging this device via USB"
Click again
Select Transmit files
Now you can backup your device using adb by
Code:
adb backup -all -f backup.ab
Note : you need to have adb on your computer lol type "How to install adb" on YouTube and you will be good to go. Remember on windows you need to press Ctrl + Shift inside the directory where adb.exe and maybe some dlls are stocked to open the terminal and be able to launch adb
You phone should now suggest you to enter a password
Click backup my data and don't touch it.
Note : to see if the backup do something you can see its size on your computer Adb don't show anythings even success.
to restore the backup do
Code:
adb restore backup.ab
Now backup with USB and "Super Backup & Restore" or anything else blablabla
#LET'S THE FUN BEGIN
You need to have Fastboot on your computer, like Adb, in a directory where you opened the cmd (it is provided with the 15 seconds script on windows, on Linux(Arch) its with android-tools.)
Don't forget to run cmd as an administrator !
On windows right click on start (windows logo) and click on "Start cmd as administrator" (if its powershell its the same you just need to enter "cmd" to launch cmd in powershell) now enter "cd \Users\(username)\Desktop\Adb-Fastboot"
Extract my ROM in the fastboot directory in its own folder for example : Desktop/Adb-Fastboot/ROM
So in ROM/ directory you need to have systemmodified.img vendor.img vbmeta.img aop.mbn etc etc
#STEP 1
Flash the ROM, TWRP and MAGISK in one paste :
Long press the Power button and swipe restart
Press and hold the VOLUME- button like you want to lower the volume
Note : the VOLUME- button need to be pressed at least before the nubia logo on restart (not the shutdown animation). You don't need to press POWER because you restarted it
Now you should be in the bootloader, you can select boot to system, recovery, emerg recovery etc
Don't press on the POWER button or it will boot to something you selected
Plug your phone to your computer
In the cmd opened in the Fastboot directory select all this and paste it in the cmd (select from the first fastboot to the "s" of "stop selection here" so the cmd enter the command automatically at each new line):
Code:
fastboot oem nubia_unlock_critical NUBIA_NX616J_CRITICAL
fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX616J
fastboot flash recovery ROM/recoveryTWRP.img
fastboot flash boot ROM/bootMAGISK.img
fastboot flash dtbo ROM/dtbo.img
fastboot flash parameter ROM/parameter.img
fastboot flash splash ROM/splash.img
fastboot flash system ROM/systemodified.img
fastboot flash vbmeta ROM/vbmetaDISABLED.img
fastboot flash vendor ROM/vendor.img
fastboot flash abl ROM/abl.elf
fastboot flash aop ROM/aop.mbn
fastboot flash cmnlib ROM/cmnlib.mbn
fastboot flash cmnlib64 ROM/cmnlib64.mbn
fastboot flash devcfg ROM/devcfg.mbn
fastboot flash hyp ROM/hyp.mbn
fastboot flash keymaster ROM/keymaster64.mbn
fastboot flash tz ROM/tz.mbn
fastboot flash xbl_config ROM/xbl_config.elf
fastboot flash xbl ROM/xbl.elf
stop selection here
Note : You need to perform these command as an elevated privilege on linux too. In fact i don't know if Fastboot require to be admin on Windows lol.
Note : You can now flash a A/B ARM64 Treble ROM if you want to learn android
#STEP 2
Make my pre-installed app working
Because i don't really know chcon and context etc my pre-installed app need some extra something to work as well as the nubia_account app because i deleted it and undo etc :
Select with the VOLUME button "reboot to recovery"
Wait for TWRP to load
Click on "Mount"
Select "System"
With the phone pluged and the cmd opened in the adb directory do :
Code:
adb shell "cd /system/system/priv-app && chcon -R u:object_r:system_file:s0 THE-BEST-FILE-EXPLORER-OF-THE-UNIVERSE TELEGRAM SMS-WITH-ENCRYPTION-BETTER-THAN-THE-NUBIA-ONE RIOT MAGISK-MANAGER LAUNCHER-OPENSOURCE KEYBOARD-OPENSOURCE FLUD-TORRENT FIREWALL FIREFOX F-DROID ../app/nubia_account"
Note : You need to perform these command as an elevated privilege on linux too. In fact i don't know if Fastboot require to be admin on Windows lol. If you launched adb as a normal user you need to first kill the adb server to relaunch it as an admin by typing "adb kill-server". It can say "WARNING: linker: Warning: couldn't read "/system/etc/ld.config.txt" for "/sbin/sh" blablabla" it doesn't matter
Now try to reboot without wiping the data to see if its working. :fingers-crossed:
If : the launcher blink and you receive some notification saying that the launcher crashed etc try to open the notification drawer and click on settings, go in app info and reset the data of Lawnchair same for Silence if it crash on start.
Else -> thanks god i made a backup.
Go back to TWRP by pressing VOLUME- (If the device is not responding when you want to shut it down press for 10-15 seconds on it to force a reboot)
in TWRP go to Wipe and swipe the button.
Try to reboot
Note : Its normal if it reboot two times
If its not working again you need to wipe everything including your pictures downloads etc (your app data was already deleted by the first wipe)
Go back to TWRP again
In the wipe option re-wipe by security the first one
Click home and re-click on wipe.
This time select "Format data", write yes and apply.
Reboot and it will work for sures.
Note : Its normal if it reboot two times
Setup you phone by disallow the localization to some nubia app etc. I included AF-Wall to block internet for the gallery, Camera etc (don't forget to Select "Block selected" by clicking the button on the right of the search button and deactivate the AF-Wall notification in the AF-Wall settings)
To receive the notification for the SMS go to settings -> App info -> Silence -> Notifications -> Importance : Urgent
#OPTIONAL - G-APPS
Install Google data-mining apps :
Note : If you install the Google apps you will have the GPS working on google maps and its all I don't appear on the Snapchat map. You need to install MicroG wich is a Open-Source alternative of the google service, so you don't have google spying on you, only Nubia :laugh: The Pico version of OpenGapps don't provide the file needed for the GPS you can download the micro version (ARM64/9.0) here[/STRIKE] -> wrong even the micro version make the GPS unavailable, I think its a OpenGapps issue I'm trying to figure it out.
I included OpenGapps Pico in /system but you can't have the GPS with it
Mount system again
Go home and click install
Click on "(Up A Level)"
Scroll down and click on system
Scroll down and click on "open_gapps-arm64-etc"
Swipe and Wait
When its done simply reboot and to the google setup
Note : Google setup don't work on the fingerprint section so skip it as well for the password or pin, just set it in the settings after.
Install Gapps MICRO wich have the GPS available
On your computer download here the ARM64/9.0/micro OpenGapps .zip file
Once finished open a terminal in the same directory where the openGapps.zipi is located (in Download I guess)
Reboot into TWRP and plug your device in your computer
Type as an elevated user
Code:
adb push OpenGapps.zip /sdcard/Download
where OpenGapps.zip is the real name of the one downloaded
In TWRP click Install and go in the Download folder
You should see OpenGapps.zip that has been copied by adb
Click, Swipe and Wait
When its done simply reboot and do the google setup
Note : Google setup don't work on the fingerprint section so skip it as well for the password or pin, just set it in the settings after.
You have now the google backup working and the Play store !
At this point your system is finally ready !
If you want to know somethings about an app or anythings that you found -> I spent 4 full day on this maybe I can help you
#OPTIONAL - MICROG
Install an Open-Source alternative of Google Service:
Note : Safetynet don't work so you can't use Snapchat or Pokemon GO for example
First you need to fake the google app signature with a Xposed module called "FakeGapps" I did not tested Tingle because I don't know how to deodex a rom as i understood it doesn't require Xposed to work, maybe Safetynet can work with it but unfortunately I didn't find any relevent tutorial .
Install "Riru - Core" from magisk
Open Magisk
Open the left panel by clicking on the Hamburger icon or swipe to the right
Click on "Download"
Wait and search for "Riru"
Scroll down to "Riru - Core", Click on the Download button and Click on install
Wait and hit reboot when its done
Install "Riru - EdXposed" from Magisk
Open Magisk
Open the left panel by clicking on the Hamburger icon or swipe to the right
Click on "Download"
Wait and search for "Riru"
Scroll down to "Riru - EdXposed", Click on the Download button and Click on install
Note : there are two version, I tested both and both work so pick wich one you want
Wait and hit reboot when its done
Install "EdXposed Installer" from Github wich is basically the Xposed app
Open Magisk
Open the left panel by clicking on the Hamburger icon or swipe to the right
Click on "Download"
Click on "Riru - "EdXposed", scroll down to "Usage" and click on "EdXposed Installer" from the step 4
You should be redirected to the Github's release page of the EdXposed Installer
Click on "Assets" and click on EdXposedInstaller_v...-release.apk"
Wait for it to download and click "OPEN" in Firefox to install it
Install "FakeGapps" from Xposed wich will fake the microG into a valid Google App
After installed it, open it and open the left panel by clicking on the Hamburger icon or swipe to the right like Magisk
Click on "Download"
Wait and search for "FakeGapps", click on it
Swipe left to go in the "VERSIONS" panel and click on "Download" the latest version
Install it
Note : if for whatever reason you can't download through Xposed in the description click on the repository link, scroll down and click on the download link, install it and go back to Xposed, Click on the hamburger icon -> Modules and tick FakeGapps
Activate FakeGapps by going in the "Modules" section of Xposed by clicking on the Hamburger icon again and tick "FakeGapps"
Reboot
Now, install MicroG
Download the latest version of NanoDroid-MicroG-NUMBER.zip (and not NanoDroid-NUMBER.zip) on your computer here : https://downloads.nanolx.org/NanoDroid/Stable/
Reboot in TWRP
Plug your devices to your computer and open a cmd in the same folder where the NanoDroid-microG-NUMBER.zip is located
Type
Code:
adb push NanoDroid-microG-NUMBER.zip /sdcard/Download
Wait and in TWRP click on "Install", it should be in the /sdcard/Download folder by default so just click on NanoDroid-microG-NUMBER.zip and swipe to install
Reboot
You should now have MicroG installed on your system and Aurora Store to replace the Play Store ! But you need some extra work to make it work lol
Open MicroG
On the Top you should see a message that say "Grant permission", click on it and allow all
Tweak some settings like you want (I have "Google device registration" Activated and UnifiedNlb Settings set on "Déjà vu" and "Nominatim")
Exit MicroG and open the Aurora Store which is the play store opensource
Note : I can't have my google account connected to it I have no idea why but you can always connect anonymously
Click on "Apps" at the bottom
Blacklist microG from updating itself by clicking on it and openning the option menu.
Refresh the installed app and you should see microG diseapear
Note : If you find something related to MicroG or google -> Blacklist
Note : to allow auto install from the Aurora Store go in Aurora Store -> settings -> Installation -> Aurora Services and grant the permission, (you need to relaunch Aurora Services to update the red icon) Go back in Installations settings and click on "Installation method", select "Aurora Services and you will be good to go !
#ADDITIONAL TWEAKS :
I deleted FileBrowser and nubia_myfile thinking there were no use for it. If you don't have them the MTP file transfer will not work !
I attached two tar.gz in this post you can open FX an create a web access to transmit those archives into your phone
Note that nubia_Myfile is maybe not needed but when we plug a OTG usb if you click on "open file" in the notification nothing will appears so I think its better to have it
Open FX and select "Web access"
Make sure you are in the same network as your computer (on the same wifi)
Click on the start button and with your computer open Firefox and go at the url displayed on your phone mine is http://192.168.1.243:2112/
Enter the password
Double click on your Download folder or where you want it doesn't matter
Drag and drop my two tar.gz file, sometime the files are not copied so you may need to drag and drop multiple times
Once the transfer is finished open FX and open one of the tar.gz, click on the folder up to either FileBrowser or nubia_myfile
Copy FileBrowser or nubia_myfile and go back to the main menu and open "System (Root)"
Go in System/priv-app and past here FileBrowser and nubia_myfile
At this point I don't know why but I could not copy the symlink in FileBrowser/lib/arm and arm64 so plug your device into your computer, select file transfer and type in a terminal
Code:
adb shell
Code:
su
Make sure to grant the permission on your phone
Code:
echo "mount your system in read write" && mount -o rw,remount /system && echo "deleting the symlink that were not copied" && rm /system/priv-app/FileBrowser/lib/arm/* /system/priv-app/FileBrowser/lib/arm64/* && echo "Creating the symlink" && ln -s /system/lib/libnubiamtp.so /system/priv-app/FileBrowser/lib/arm/libnubiamtp.so && ln -s /system/lib64/libnubiamtp.so /system/priv-app/FileBrowser/lib/arm64/libnubiamtp.so && echo "chmod 644 the symlink" && chmod 644 /system/priv-app/FileBrowser/lib/arm/libnubiamtp.so && chmod 644 /system/priv-app/FileBrowser/lib/arm64/libnubiamtp.so && echo "delete the data of the app "Media Storage" (not your data lol)" && rm -r /data/user/0/com.android.providers.media/* && echo "remount your system in read only" && mount -o ro,remount /system
Reboot
Disable the Nubia Voiceassistant button -> Settings -> More Features ->voiceassistant to not have to wait 20 years to have the shutdown menu
Disable the Colorful mode in Settings -> Display -> Screen display preferences -> Natural Mode to not have the satured black on the AOD mode
This phone is strange, i installed YouTube vanced with magisk and it keep killing the app when I listen in background it does this in call too lol, because its a system app its not shown in NeoSafe "Application power management" you need to go in Neosafe -> Detailed electricity records -> Screen or another apps but screen should be here for sure -> battery optimization -> Select all apps by clicking on "Not optimized" :
I disabled the optimization for :
Call Management
Cell Broadcasts
com.android.cellbroadcastreceiver.overlay.common
com.android.phone.overlay.common
com.android.smspush
Google Play Store
InCallUI
LocationServices
Maps
Music
Phone Services
Silence
Youtube
I am kinda dumb and wrongly edited to build.prop at the end :silly:
Open Fx File Explorer
Go to System (Root)
Click OK
Go in System
Click on the padlock
In remount "/system" Filesystem R/W tick "I understand the risk"
Click OK and open build.prop
Click on the edit button (the one with the pen)
Go all the way down and on the line "ro.min_pointer_dur=8 ro.max.fling_velocity=12000" insert a line after the 8 and remove the extra space before the ro.max.fling
Click on the option button and Save.
Now the scrolling should be a little better
To have an animation when you return on home you need to allow Lawnchair (the launcher) to have access to the recents apps
Open Magisk
Open the left panel by clicking on the Hamburger icon or swipe to the right
Click on "Download"
Wait and search for "QuickSwitch"
Click on the Download button and Click on install
Wait and hit reboot when its done
After reboot go in the app and launch the newly installed app "QuickSwitch"
Click on Lawnchair and in "Use Lawnchair as recents provider" click OK
Reboot again
After reboot open an app for example the Camera app and go back to home by swiping the middle bar and you will see a little animation like on iPhone !

Hello !
Maybe are you french ?
Mod edit: Translation (by Google Translate) added:
If so, thank you for your contribution. I wonder if I will not buy a Nubia X and your post encourages me to do it.
What return can you make me the phone, overall?
I was wondering, quite a lot of sales sites indicate that this is a global ROM. Is this really the case?
Do you think to "maintain" the ROM that you propose?
Have a good day !
Matthew
********************************
Si c'est le cas, merci pour ta contribution. Je me demande si je ne vais pas acheter un Nubia X et ton post m'incite à le faire.
Quel retour peux-tu me faire du téléphone, au global ?
je me demandais, pas mal de site de vente indiquent qu'il s'agit d'une ROM globale. Est-ce vraiment le cas ?
Penses-tu "maintenir" la ROM que tu proposes ?
Bonne journée !

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!

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!

Hi !
Yes I'm french ZTE have released the Nubia Z20, it's the same as the Nubia X but more advanced / advanced I think it would be better to buy this one, and in September it will come out with an official global ROM, I received my nubia X 10 days before the Z20 so lol ducoup I try to sell it now after if you still want to buy the Nubia X it has dropped to 300 € so it's also a great opportunity finally if you want I can sell it to you lol.
For my overall opinion I would say that it is frankly not bad, Snapchat works in 60fps and launches in less than a second, the battery has a good day, the camera is not bad too but in low light it still remains to improve, also for example if I'm on snapchat and I switch camera, the next time I open it I'll have to press OK and change screen. there is no button "do not ask me" as on the main photo app that it changes directly screen, imprint scanners on the other hand if I record several fingers not walk or walk after the 20th test lol ducoup I have my thumb recorded after I have not tested that much, maybe I'm recording badly or whatever.
After this is the first phone to have two screen so it's normal that there are things to improve. this says it's still the class to have two screen at the beginning I make believe that I have a single screen (the one from the back) and people make fun by saying that I have a screen rotten and soon that I return it they haha ​​bugs.
Finally here I personally think you should take the Z20, just the speaker in the back to make calls shows how they push the idea to the max.
I ordered mine with a global ROM too but I think they did exactly the same as me, when I received it I had no pre-installed apps, not even the music app, the launcher was quickstep, i could update magisk etc but no more, there was just not the message that said my phone is corrupted at startup but that's it.
Maintain the ROM I do not know because I think I have done the trick if it would be a treble rom that I would have managed to carry there yes but there is already everything that works and more if I can sell it for the Z20 I could just help since my memories lol ducoup I do not know the only things I could bring this would be in the box addnal tweaks, I just see that there is a magisk module for Lawnchair to have access to the recent apps ducoup now I have a little animation when I close an app.
********************************
Salut !
Oui je suis francais ZTE ont sortie le Nubia Z20, c'est le même que le Nubia X mais plus perfectionné/avancé je pense que ce serait mieux d'acheter celui-ci, en plus en septembre il sortira avec une ROM global officiel, J'ai reçu mon nubia X 10 jours avant que le Z20 sorte lol ducoup j'essaye de le vendre maintenant :laugh: après si tu souhaite toujours acheter le Nubia X il a baisser à 300€ donc c'est aussi un belle occasion finalement si tu veux je peux te le vendre lol.
Pour mon avis global je dirais qu'il est franchement pas mal, snapchat marche en 60fps et se lance en moins d'une seconde, la batterie tient une bonne journée, la caméra est pas mal aussi mais en basse luminosité ça reste quand même à améliorer, aussi par exemple si je suis sur snapchat et que je switch de caméra, la prochaine fois que je l'ouvrirais je seras obligé d'appuyer sur OK et changer d'écran. il y a pas le boutton "ne plus me demander" comme sur l'app photo principale qui elle change direct d'écran, les scanneurs d'empreinte par contre si j'enregistre plusieurs doigts marche pas ou marche après le 20eme essais lol ducoup j'ai que mon pouce d'enregistré après j'ai pas plus testé que ça, peut-être que j'enregistre mal ou quoi.
Après c'est le premier téléphone à avoir deux écran donc c'est normale qu'il reste des choses à améliorer. ceci-dit c'est quand même la classe d'avoir deux écran au début je fait croire que j'ai un seul écran (celui de l'arrière) et les gens se moque en disant que j'ai un écran pourris puis dès que je le retourne ils bugs haha.
Enfin voila personellement je pense qu'il faudrait que tu prenne le Z20, rien que le haut parleur à l'arrière pour passer les appels montre à quel point ils pousse l'idée au max.
J'ai commandé le miens avec une ROM global aussi mais je pense qu'ils ont fait exactement pareil que moi, quand je l'ai reçu j'avais pas d'applis pré-installé, même pas l'applis musique, le launcher était quickstep, je pouvais mettre à jour magisk etc mais pas plus, il y avait juste pas le message qui dit comme quoi mon téléphone est corrompue au démarrage mais c'est tout.
Maintenir la ROM je sais pas car je pense avoir fait le tour si ce serait une rom treble que j'aurais réussi à porter là oui mais là il y a déjà tout qui marche et en plus si j'arrive à le vendre pour le Z20 je pourrais juste aider depuis mes souvenirs lol ducoup je sais pas les seules choses que je pourrais apporter ce serais dans la case additionnal tweaks, je viens de voir que il y a un module magisk pour que Lawnchair ai accès au applis récentes ducoup maintenant j'ai une petite animation quand je ferme une applis.

Hi ! Thanks a lot By optionnal do you mean at the Gapps part ? Does OpenGapps say an error in TWRP ? If you reset your phone after flashing OpenGapps it will not uninstall them, because you erase only the /data partition (and Dalvik/cache) so maybe you mean you re-flashed everything, in this case i don't know why it is stuck after flashing the Gapps can you try to do the first wipe (Data, Cache and Dalvik) after flashed OpenGapps ?
when you say

Click to collapse
your phone shouldn't reboot two times because you don't wipe anything in this step. To reboot you just swipe "reboot" after flashing the OpenGapps zip file ? Windows recognize the devices at boot and in TWRP, when you reboot your devices does windows make sound like you un-plugged your device and plugged in again ? If yes check that you can't access the file on your devices (the phone launch an autorun for windows where in TWRP you can access the file in the devices) and try to see if its in fastboot mode by typing in admin or with sudo
Code:
fastboot devices[CODE]
If nothing changed after that let me know, i will try do follow my post step by step maybe i forgot something ;)
[QUOTE="hellraisertg72, post: 80112550, member: 6973608"]wow! well written - I get the feeling that you enjoyed it very much ;)

Hi :D ! Yeah I have learned more than that I could have ever imagined !
I myself also have bought it with a "Global" ROM but it is basically what I did, there is just the pre-installed app removed and the playstore added and vbmeta disabled to allow changing the boot partition (magisk update for example), I just tried the GPS with "GPS test" and I also can't have any signals I have to turn the airplane mode to have one satellite but I couldn't do it again (I will try outside after this post).
For the AOD I had exactly the same issue you need to switch to sRGB mode in Settings -> Display -> Screen display preferences -> Natural mode.
[QUOTE="hellraisertg72, post: 80112550, member: 6973608"]but it stops after 50% or so and says that it doesn't work :-/[/QUOTE]
50% ? do you mean the JOS things at the first boot ? Or when you go in the Recovery and update it with an OTG usb ? In the last case you can't downgrade with this method you need to flash with fastboot like I did for this ROM and reset everything (I didn't tested to downgrade but i read that you must reset it to downgrade).
you can't brick it if you use the .exe provided by nubia but because its a "global" ROM (so not official) it will probably say "this devices is corrupt" in this case you can flash vbmeta.img to bypass it but in any case you can't brick it at the point of not having fastboot so if it don't work for any reason you can always flash my ROM by fastboot and try to keep your /data partition (I didn't tested to have the settings from another ROM and then switch to my ROM but as the Android system is built it should work without any problem. Maybe you will notice some "blabla is not responding" or "blabla has crashed" but in this case you just need to reset the problematic app). Mine was already rooted, I got kicked off the battlebus for cheat in Fortnite because of that :laugh: you can download Magisk Manager and see if its already rooted

you can't brick it if you use the .exe provided by nubia but because its a "global" ROM (so not official) it will probably say "this devices is corrupt" in this case you can flash vbmeta.img to bypass it but in any case you can't brick it at the point of not having fastboot so if it don't work for any reason you can always flash my ROM by fastboot and try to keep your /data partition (I didn't tested to have the settings from another ROM and then switch to my ROM but as the Android system is built it should work without any problem. Maybe you will notice some "blabla is not responding" or "blabla has crashed" but in this case you just need to reset the problematic app). Mine was already rooted, I got kicked off the battlebus for cheat in Fortnite because of that :laugh: you can download Magisk Manager and see if its already rooted

Hi Roman!
You are my/THE hero
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 )

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
Code:
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

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!
Tom

I'm happy to hear that !
I tried to re-flash and re-reset my phone to make sure it was the openGapps Pico that caused problem by using the Micro one but i couldn't get any GPS signal, only google maps worked. So I plugged my phone to my computer and watched the logcat, I just saw that google maps created some sort of request to GnssLocationProvider and TencentLocationProviderProxy and then saw that when I launched SatStat there were some warning about missing permission (in fact the Phone and the Storage permission was refused by default for this app). So I tried to enable them and relaunch it to see and it worked ! so now all my app that need GPS work. I tried to re-refuse the permission and it still work lol I even played Pokemon Go for 2 minutes before get the unsupported devices message (I'm sure it see magisk installed). I tried your app and I could not make it work, even on a genymotion's Pixel 3 virtual machine where gps test report my accuracy and position (I can only modify the latitude, longitude and accuracy). I opened the logcat and i saw this :
Code:
AppOps : do not show dialog !!! application luo.speedometergpspro targetSdkversion below M , and op 1 is dangerous permission .
It look like the developer don't want to fully port his app to Pie, but instead keep it to Marshmallow. I never touched or created an Android app so I may be wrong
EDIT : No i'm just wrong lol the targetsdk of the app is 28 so it should be good here is my post the next day about the gps in general
Yeah i already converted the stock rom to a Raw image so you don't need to decompress and convert the sparse image etc
What !? you want to remove my beautiful dog ??? lol I forgot I modified that, I changed it in /system/media/theme/bootup. You can modify picture_1.nubia, picture_2.nubia etc don't worry about the .nubia extension they are just png. If you want to modify them open Fx file explorer and click on "System (Root)" and go in system/media/theme/bootup from here you can copy thoses file on your computer and make the changes you want I just worry about the right, ownership and security context (the chcon command that you did with adb to make my pre-installed app working is for this) of the file when you modify them you may need to re-chmod 644, re-chown root:root and chcon ubject_r:system_file:s0 the file after copied and renamed them in /system/media/theme/bootup.
In step it look like this :
Open FX File explorer, do the first time setup etc
Click on "System (Root)"
Go in system/media/theme/bootup
you can open them if you want by clicking on and selecting Image Viewer (You can see how I was aware of odexing an app in fullbg.nubia lol)
Select picture_1.nubia, picture_2.nubia etc and copy them in your download folder for example
Copy the .nubia/.txt to your computer
I don't have windows to test but on Linux you need to change the owner (root) to your in order to modify the file by using
Code:
chown $USER picture_1.nubia/picture_1.txt
Note : When saving the picture make sure to have the same name and export the picture in png, I didn't tested if it support anything else that would be cool to display a GIF
Copy them on your phone and select and copy them with FX
Before pasting the .nubia make sure to click on the padlock and tick "I understand the risk." and OK to be able to write in.
Now paste the picture and select "Merge/Overwrite" to replace the original or delete the original and rename the new with the good name
To restore the chmod things etc first see if its necessary, select the .nubia that you overwrited, click on the option button at the top-right and click on the info button (the first one) it should be like this :
Code:
Security Context -> u:object_r:system_file:s0
Owner -> root
Group -> root
Octal : 0644
If its not like this you need to
Download Termux on the play store and open it
Wait for it to install and type "su" and grant the permission on the magisk popup to become root
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /system
to be able to write in the /system partition (I say partition but its actually a partition in a directory named system)
Code:
cd /system/media/theme
to move to the theme directory
Code:
chmod -R 644 bootup/
To set the 0644 Octal type in the entire bootup directory (to avoid doing this for every .nubia/.txt file)
Code:
chown -R root:root bootup/
To set the root owner and group
Code:
chcon -R u:object_r:system_file:s0 bootup/
To change the Security Context
Code:
chmod 755 bootup
To restore the original 755 octal of the bootup directory (In fact you could just avoid the -R option in the previous command and chmod/chcon/chown bootup/* where "*" is to select all the file so in this case all the file in bootup/ without changing the bootup directory)
You have now removed my cool dog. If you want to change the sound as well its in /system/media/audio/ui and its called bootup.wav it also have the 0644, root:root and the same security context of the pictures.
Its more easy to change it than the picture because you just need to convert any song you want to wav by using a online converter for example and put it in /system/media/audio/ui, change the owner, security and 644 and of course you need to rename it to bootup.wav (make sure if you use FX to replace it to select "System (Root)" instead of "System" and click on the padlock to be able to modify the /system partition)
I never touched the splash.img I think it only contain the Nubia logo displayed at boot because the shutdown animation is in /system/media/theme/shutdown
EDIT : the splash.img don't need to contain anything because when I tried LineageOS I didn't get the nubia logo but the Lineage one

Hi !
Thx for your message

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..

Hi Roman!
Finally, (at this point) GPS is working on GPS-Only-Apps, google is working and it looks fine... BUT (oh no, again!) - now I can't get a file-transfer-connection either to linux or windows (10).

And in my file-browser (nemo) I see the device named "SDM845 MTP SN: D12BD6DB", but it can't mount it properly ("unable to mount MTP device blablabla") and that's all.
Do you have an idea, why?! (maybe it's the "-" and the "_" in the name and not in the mount-name?)
Thanks,
Tom

The GPS drive me nuts
Without Gapps Pico or Micro it work perfectly etc I even get speedometer working but not the latest version only the 3.7.21 or lower without "googlemaps" in parenthesis work
The latest version of speedometer log this in Logcat
Code:
GooglePlayServicesUtil: Google Play Store is missing.
so its not working of course.
When I flash OpenGapps the only position I got is the one from the cell tower in Magic earth or nothing at all for GPS test and Satstat. Only Google maps work normal. But the most disturbing things is that I need to wait one day and open the permission of Satstat to grant the Storage and Call permission to "unlock" the gps for SatStat, GPS test or Magic earth. In fact Magic earth show my position based on the last fix that SatStat did, if I wait some time it will show me again the cell tower lol. I think if I launch Snapchat, Pokemon Go or anything else that use the google api the gps will not work.
I've hidden the root for Snapchat, pokemon Go and Fortnite and i also renamed the com.magisk into com.fsdijuhg in the magisk settings and I changed my build fingerprint using "Magisk Hide Props Config" to pass cts. Fortnite work well I can jump off the battlebus without being kicked out for cheating but Pokemon Go and Snapchat don't find any GPS signal so it shouldn't be a root or safetynet issue. Or Fortnite is broken. EDIT : I can play it without google play services the game mode help a lot I must say
If someone have an idea or have already got this problem please help me
I also tweaked the gps.conf as well as the izat.conf flp etc but nothing worked so far

I just cheched and its because I removed the filebrowser app and nubia_myfile I though I only removed the nubia_Myfile. My bad. I attached two tar.gz you can open FX an create a web access to transmit those archives into your phone
Note that nubia_Myfile is maybe not needed but when we plug a OTG usb the notification can't open it so I think its better to have it
In step :
Open FX and select "Web access"
Make sure you are in the same network as your computer (on the same wifi)
Click on the start button and with your computer open Firefox and go at the url displayed on your phone mine is http://192.168.1.243:2112/
Enter the password
Double click on your Download folder or where you want it doesn't matter
Drag and drop my two tar.gz file, sometime the files are not copied so you may need to drag and drop multiple times
Once the transfer is finished open FX and open one of the tar.gz, click on the folder up to either FileBrowser or nubia_myfile
Copy FileBrowser or nubia_myfile and go back to the main menu and open "System (Root)"
Go in System/priv-app and past here FileBrowser and nubia_myfile
At this point I don't know why but I could not copy the symlink in FileBrowser/lib/arm and arm64 so plug your device into your computer, select file transfer and type in a terminal
Code:
adb shell
Code:
su
Make sure to grant the permission on your phone
Code:
echo "mount your system in read write" && mount -o rw,remount /system && echo "deleting the symlink that were not copied" && rm /system/priv-app/FileBrowser/lib/arm/* /system/priv-app/FileBrowser/lib/arm64/* && echo "Creating the symlink" && ln -s /system/lib/libnubiamtp.so /system/priv-app/FileBrowser/lib/arm/libnubiamtp.so && ln -s /system/lib64/libnubiamtp.so /system/priv-app/FileBrowser/lib/arm64/libnubiamtp.so && echo "chmod 644 the symlink" && chmod 644 /system/priv-app/FileBrowser/lib/arm/libnubiamtp.so && chmod 644 /system/priv-app/FileBrowser/lib/arm64/libnubiamtp.so && echo "delete the data of the app "Media Storage" (not your data lol)" && rm -r /data/user/0/com.android.providers.media/* && echo "remount your system in read only" && mount -o ro,remount /system
Reboot
You should be good now I will update my main post about it
And also thanks for your logs ! That's one less thing I had to do

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

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!

You're welcome ! 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
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) 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"....)

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

Teclast T30 [T1Px][Custom ROM][Android 9] -> hybrid ROM 1.04 / 1.05

I have prepared hybrid ROM 1.04 / 1.05 (Android 9) -> its suitable for T1P2, T1P3, T1P4 version of Teclast T30
Its based on official global ROM 1.04 and chinesse 1.05 ROM.
In the folder with firmware 1.05, I replaced the scatter file and system.img from firmware 1.04.
The result is:
Version 1.0: firmware 1.04 with Google Play store and 60 Hz screen frequency, MUCH better touch response, containing all languages.
Version 1.1: same as version 1.0 + Magisk (ROOT) pre-installed
Version 1.2a: same as version 1.0 + TWRP 3.3.1 pre-installed
The big advantage of this procedure is the standard easy installation of the firmware via Flashtool.

Because XDA Admid removed my external download links I had to upload all files to attachments.
As a backup, all files are stored here also

to all T30 owners out there that suffer from touch-screen lag: rtb07 did a phenomenal job in creating this hybrid rom that fixes the issue. Installation is easy to do, just follow the above instructions.
I fixed my T1P2 EEA T30 using the 1.2a hybrid rom and could not be happier with the result. It is working like a charm now.
THX to rtb07!!!!

Welcome. Thank goodness I managed to correct that annoying touch mistake.

I would love to do installation 1.0 on my T1P2 but all the download links have been removed :/

Because the XDA administrator deleted my external links to the files, I had to upload everything to the first post.
So now is all OK.

Thanks for this. I preordered this tab at launch in late 2019 and hated the touch response and just overall laggy feel, so it's been sitting in a drawer for over a year. This firmware actually makes it nice and smooth, also extremely simple to flash.

Yes, in my ROM version the touch finally works fine. It is tragic that Teclast only fixed this in the Chinese version 1.05 ROM and did not release a corrected version of the EEA / Global ROM. When I wanted to work normally with the tablet, I had to make a corrected version of Global ROM 1.04.
It is a pity that the manufacturer does not release new updates.

I bought 3 Chinese tablets from different company’s & not one of them have been updated by the makers, but my 2 years old Samsung S9 South Korean phone still getting updates.
Its really is poor customer service when they can easy fix the problems, thankfully there people like you around to do there job for them!

Hi!
First of all, thanks for your great work. I have ghost touch in my Teclast T30 and I've been looking for a solution for weeks. Some days ago I found this post and installed the 1.0 version, that should fix my touch-screen issue. The installation was succesful, but still having the same problem. Ghost touch in the bottom side. ¿What can I do to fix this? I have the T1P2 version.
Thanks!

Hi, I don't know if anyone else is reporting a problem with a ghost touch on our tablet. I have not encountered this problem. They all reported only a problem with low touch sensitivity, which was solved by this hybrid ROM.
Maybe you could try peeling off the protective film. But I don't guarantee it will help.

Does physical keyboard work with hybrid rom?

Yes!

This hybrid ROM saved my T30. What a fantastic work Sir rbt07! The screen response is now super fast. After installing the version 1.0 I spent over a hour scrolling up and down just trying to believe in what I was seeing. It became a much better tablet now. Btw I got stucked in the 0% format during the flashing process and had to install the MTK drivers on my laptop. I only installed the last driver "we had three folders there" and then I could complete the installation. You should invoice Teclast to pay you for your work. Thanks a lot mate!

Yes it does work with the physical keyboard, I tested it myself

I'd like to thank you OP, this made my tablet actually able to play rhythm games to an acceptable degree. I didn't like to flash other ROMs because they all have a common issue: bluetooth connection. This ROM works flawlessly on my T1P3 by using it for 3 days.

Hybrid ROM is just a mix of two original ROMs, so it doesn't have many bugs.

Hi, do I need to unlock or do anything to my device before I can follow these instructions?
