Please Read:(August 20/2014) Finally, I hope this thread is almost complete, while updating this thread I really didn't find many users interested in this thread. It's not that i want credits for it, i was the one with most of replies & felt like alone, forcing others to read/reply etc.. but i didn't give-up, pushed myself into it, spending time on Search, Collecting Information, Testing Stuff on my Device, posting, updating etc.... but It's ok & no problem. Remember, when we need something we struggle for it & i needed it for myself. Only one thing, keep this thread going, Rate it, Comment, share, whatever.... that's all. I hope it will help other users. Thanks for understanding.

Also successfully created backup with CWM.

Welcome to the thread, it's been long time i was waiting for a single comment other than mine : p.
well, i got my hands on "CWM" and it's in English as from where i get it i saw it in english language. One thing i haven't tested it, coz i'm not sure about my device 'bootloader' status. don't know incase it's unlocked or locked. i think CWM can be installed/flashed only when bootloader is unlocked. so i'm not installing CWM until i'm sure about safety.
"Framaroot" worked for me too last night but "supersu" icon did not appear in menu but i installed an app to confirm root and "supersu" notification came up for granting permission. what ever, Will you also please share "framaroot" version you used and what exploit worked for you. i used framaroot 1.9.2. and please tell me about "bootloader" too.
i'll upload "CWM 5.5.0.4" for y511-u30 or u25, but again i have not tested it. i'll edit thread about how to install. : ). take care and post results after testing. i hope it will be safe. goot luck.

It's ok about version, any chance of remembering "exploit" you choose to root device "boromir" or "Barahir"?. as i remember, "Barahir" worked for me. again not sure. but device got rooted without showing "supersu" app but hidden and installed.
anyway, i have uploaded Framaroot app and in short i'll be uploading "CWM".
is your device "bootloader unlocked"? i'll not recommend you to try installing "CWM" without bootloader unlocked.

CWM information/img/files added.
I am trying to find unlocking bootloader solution for every one and then will add "CUSTOM ROMS".

faramaroot v1.9.2
select "install Supersu"
then "boromir" but not sure
its nearly 2 months ago i have rooted with faramaroot,

Ok. Thanks for replying. I am not sure but i think, to flash custom ROM "bootloader" needs to be unlocked. Maybe 'CWM' don't need bootloader restriction but required root.
Try to find way to unlock bootloader for our device. There are ways but some cost much and the one which don't is official way and they have not answered any of my email/query yet.
It not a problem for me individualy to get bootloader unlocked but i want to find out solution for every one.
One more thing, just want to make sure that it only with my device serial or same with some others too.
1. Serial mentioned in phone settings is strange like "0123456.." and serial behind battery is different.
2. Incase, u ever boot into chinese bootloader/recovery by pressing vol- and power button. Did u happen to see "Board test fail"?
Thanks, I'll be waiting for ur reply.

u r correct

2. i had installed recovery with "RASHR" app avaialble at playsore and restarted fone into recovery with same "RASHR" app.
Vol- and power i think does not work or only it is used to "fast boot" the fone
however Vol+ and power shows board test fail but still u can test some hardware, all menu comes in chines but still camera, mic and other hardware can be checked.
i always reboot to recovery by writing commands to terminal emulator.

Thanks for info, u r helping. It clear doubts regarding regarding issues and i could move forward for more tests. i'll try my best to make addition in main post about how to flash/install recover VIA "ADB". i hope....
I enter fast boot by "adb" and the command i am gonna ask u about give no results, except dots "....". Tried even entering into chinese mode/fastboot but same result.
Can u confirm "fastboot oem get-bootinfo" without qoute's. It only show info about bootloader, either locked or unlocked. Thanks again.

Question Lenovo Phab Plus PB1-770M Stock ROM needed.

Hi,
First of all, I'm surprised that Lenovo Phab Plus has no forum section although Pahb 2 plus has.
Today I installed Xposed Alpha 3 and selected XPosed framework SDK for ARM 64 bit. It endded up to bootloop and worse I accidentally wiped my device without any backup (can't be worse than this).
I surfed the internet for almost a day and found few ROW ROMS on lenovo-forums which is russian website. Problem is it requires PC connection and my phone can not be read but in recovery mode. i.e. when I use:
Code:
adb devices
I got
Code:
1f82f24b recovery
I only get my phone recognized in recovery mode only since OS is wiped thanks to the naive I represent.
My question is:
1. Can anyone reach a zip ROM so I can install it directly from TWRP. I can transfer files to my phone when I'm in recovery mode as it is recognized as ADB Interface
2. Does ROW ROM require my phone to be in another mode other than recovery as I failed to get Download_with_partition.cmd to work although as I mentioned adb devices command returned my device ID and recovery word.
Your help is appreciated

Solution
After posting the thread, I found that stock rom:
Lenovo Phab Plus Stock ROM 5.1.1
It is the best ROM that it actually worked. When you extract it, you will find download.cmd. To make it work, I had to enter command line by line. Eventually it worked.
Few tips:
1. Make sure your command window is "administrator"
2. Go to "E:\Lenovo Phab Plus\PB1-770M_5,1_S405_160420_ROW\PB1-770M_5,1_S405_160420_ROW\SW" (my location) and click ctrl+shift+right mouse click and choose "Open command window here" as shown here:

Then open Command.bat located in same file using right click--> edit and execute commands on command window line by line:
Hope it helps others to make their life much easier than this horrible day

Is your phone rooted ? No popup could be that severe unless it is rooted. Also you may first update it to 5.1.1 from phone update in settings. If it gave you "network fails", it is OK. Lenovo service is down in some countries, so install cloud VPN from google play store, run it, then go again to update phone and it will work.
If factory reset doesn't work, it means your SD card or internal storage has some infected files. Use Kaspersky mobile security to scan your device.

Hi, thanks for the ROM file, unfortunately, even if everything goes well, my PB1-770M will stay in the bootlop
I do not even get into recovery, I do not even see the indication when the charger is connected. Perhaps the motherboard is damaged, right?

I had the same problem and I solved it by installing TWRP and resizing /data partition via it.

Downloaded the above FW successfully but when I followed the step-by-step guide, I got this error message:

[GUIDE][TOOL][ROOT]Cubot Note Plus (MTK6737T) Root with Magisk V0.3

!!! YOUR WARRANTY IS NOW VOID !!!​
THIS TOOL IS FOR CUBOT NOTE PLUS ONLY.
neither I nor the XDA Forum is responsible for your phone brick or your cat triggers an atomic apocalypse. YOU has been responsible for your phone and you are doing everything at your own risk.​
This is a tool for rooting the CUBOT NOTE PLUS ONLY.
NOTE: THIS TOOL IS IN ALPHA STAGE
RoCuNo+_v0.3 is online.
Downloads see post 2
This tool can root your Cubot Note Plus and patch your boot.img for working with Magisk.
this tool can make this in seperate steps or All-In-One. For now the bootloader must stay UNLOCKED for root to work.
A guide to doing this by yourself with adb is also in this post.
NOTE: ALL YOUR DATA GET LOST. SAVE YOUR IMPORTANT DATA FIRST. (Videos, Pictures, Music and all you can save.)
What this tool can do:
Unlock/Relock your Bootloader
Root/Unroot your Cubot Note Plus (Unroot dont work for now)
[*]Make a Dump of your Boot Partition as boot.img
Install MagiskManager-v5.4.3 and Magisk-v14.0
Please download the attached zip and unzip it somewhere and rightclick on RoCuNo+_V*.bat and start as Administrator.
Read all carefully and choose your option. Follow the instructions on screen STEP BY STEP!!!
Better way is to choose the AIO because that makes all for you except a few steps.

update Magisk Manager App to 5.4.3.
Update Guide.

RoCuNo+ v0.2
complete rework.
all should now work.
now the original verified-boot.img from Cubot is implemented. so root and unroot works now.
ive patched the original verified-bood.img with magisk so no boot.img dump has to be made.
the tool now detects what state you are and boots the state needed for his job.
only magisk manager app has to be installed on device and the tool do this for you.
the tool detects if you are already oem unlocked or not. so if you already unlocked you dont

Problems:
i got some problems with dumping boot.img. the partiton size is 16M and the dd dump is also 16M but if i try to flash it back fastboot says the file is to large for partition. thats why unroot doesent work for now. Magisk patch the boot.img and resize them to 8M. than flashing works fine and all works. if someone can point me in the right direction would be very nice. if you have some questions please write here or pm me.
if someone can make a scatter file for this phone or had the scatter file it would be nice to share so we can try to backup the phone with SP Flash Tool. thanks.
if you found some bugs please tell it here so i can fix it.

Nice

Thanks for this great work, worked flawlessly. Just wondered, now we've got this root, is there any custom recovery we can install for it? (I realise many things will be available through Magisk's modules already, but still just wondered.)

I had already unlocked the bootloader myself prior to this, looking for a way to root it before I saw this article (I gather this is the first available root method for this device), and also manually installed MagiskManager and the MTK-Engineering-Mode apk's and from then on I used the ruCuNo+ bat to complete it.
I followed stage 6, then 7, then 3. Pointed the Magisk to the original boot img, got it patched, sent it to PC and flashed the boot image with ADB. After turning on the phone, Magisk ended up with two green ticks so everything was good to go.

No worries, great work - hopefully, we may see some custom recovery to come in the future from someone. Wish this phone actually had its own page on XDA, but I doubt it has enough widespread support for that, who knows.

Yes. custom recovery for the phone would be great. if I knew better, I would make one myself. but I've read a lot. maybe I'll try it in future to make one.
i think this phone dont get his own page. but maybe the Cubot vendor get his own where we can put all related Cubot threads together in his own sub section. :good:

i got a error after "fastboot oem unlock" -> "FAILED (remote:Unlock operation is not allowed)". i think, bootloader is not unlocked, what can i do?
oops: had forget "OEM UNLOCKING in DevMenu"

yes. that was the point. :good:

I think the sequence in the Guide is a bit wrong. In the Guide I read:
Schwester_Gabi said:
...
Type:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
Than:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
NOTE: ALL YOUR DATA WILL BE DELETED Press VOL+ on Phone if asked wait for device for unlock...
... (this comes now after)
Enable USB DEBUGGING and OEM UNLOCKING in Menu --> Settings --> Developer Options
...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If I follow this I get (in very small fonts) as another user here in this thread:
Unlock failed...return to fastboot in 3s
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And no unlock of the bootloader seems possible.
Because first I need to do OEM UNLOCKING in the Dev. Options, which seems very clear. Only after I can fastboot oem unlock
What I further not quite understand in this post, is it either the Guide or the Batchfile I have to follow? Or is it a mixture of both what I need to do?
As I think the Batchfile cannot enable the Developer Tools in the System, or?
Lastly and most important: on my phone I don't see a mmcblk07p only a mmcblk0p7, so this throws an error:
Schwester_Gabi said:
...
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk07p of=/sdcard/boot.img
...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I guess that mmcblk0p7 is ment, so I did a dd with mmcblk0p7, and I let patch this file with Magisk to the file: patched_boot.img
But here I am very not sure and if I flash now a wrong img-file with this:
Schwester_Gabi said:
...
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I strongly guess that is it with my new phone
So could you please confirm that it was just a typo in the first post here?
How can I know which of these files in /dev/block is the boot.img?
Thank!!!

Yes. Its a typo. You can flash it.
Btw i am on the way to rework the whole Programm for better use and better instructions. Give me some time because iam very busy at the moment. But I will update it soon.
And remember its an 0.1ALPHA for now. So its not perfect :angel:

Oh Great! It works
Thank a lot for your work!!!

As a noob, I did not get what to do after installing the Magisk manager. So I have it installed, but it shows no root. How can I then install the root?
I used the "RoCuNo+_v0.2.bat" in admin mode and although I got through the unlock and root, I am stuck on what to do on Magisk in the phone.
I was able to root my galaxy tab, but perhaps I am too noob for these instructions?
(Btw while booting I get the "this phone is unlocked and cannot be trusted" text)

Ran into a bit of an issue here, I received an official OTA so I uninstalled Magisk by clicking uninstall within the APK, now my phone is stuck on the boot logo. I've tried to flash the original boot img, but I can't get into the system to confirm flashing it on the device. It displays under <adb devices> but when issuing the <fastboot flash boot> command it says <waiting for any device> and nothing occurs.
Not sure how to proceed without wiping the whole thing. Anything I can try?

So I did a factory reset and used the "RoCuNo+_v0.2.bat" again as follows:
First enabled developer mode, USB Debugging unknown sources, OEM unlock
Then ran the tool:
1 - unlock bootloader - success
3 - root - success
5 - install magisk - here the phone first boots, then it erases data, then does again all the "setup your phone, wifi, accounts etc"
"Orange state - this device is unlocked..." appears in the boot
Magisk is not installed in the apps.
OEM unlock is greyed out (but enabled)
So the tool worked differently, or I am missing something.
Perhaps there are new versions of this phone?

...aaaand it's rooted.
I did everything again using the adb -command instructions.
So did not use the .bat tool.
Used the step-by-step instructions.
Thanks a lot! Finally I can use macrodroid properly.

[root] ulefone armor 2 - easy rooting procedure [SUPERSU]

Hello mates! What a heck of a problem rooting this fancy brick, right? Not anymore ! The guides available in here are very confusing and lack of simple information. I'm just trying to help.
Special thanks goes to sumec100 who made me into the first steps of this process.
Rooting the Brick
*What will you need in a first moment:
- SDK MANAGER AND PLATAFORM TOOLS ONLY https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html#downloads *end of the page, 132mb archive* (Plataform-tools is attached in case you can't find it)
- SuperSU: https://mega.nz/#!t2wGDbhL!H07JxlbmLH2tFQD7Frx2BKlJp0AyDthXkbEj6sw4z08 (this one worked out) (Leave it in your SD Card before start the process)
- TWRP ported by Jemmini from 4pda and translated to English by TuksOID. : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Uwkl_2vqHfXkbLGmF-gKbs63UxVKmw_T
- ADB Driver Installer: http://adbdriver.com/downloads/
- ARMOR 2 Latest Drivers: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8NC4kBpjQhYdDNhdzdUdTRsRFE&usp=sharing
0) Go into your Ulefone Armor 2.
Settings >About phone > Tap ''build number'' 8 times until you see ''now you are a developer''.
Developer options> OEM unlocking (yes) >USB Debugging (Yes)
After all drivers are installed in Driver_Auto_Installer you downloaded from ulefone.com keep ADB Driver Installer open and plug in your phone on your PC. It will auto detects your MediaTek device. Just click ''Install'' wait until it finishes and close it. Now you are properly connected to your phone.
1) Open ''cmd.exe'' as an administrator.
Type: cd (path you unziped plataform-tools inside SDK tools folder) kind of looking like this: ''X:YOUR PATH\tools\platform-tools''
Put the recovery image you downloaded (I suggest you to rename it as ''recovery'') in ''plataform-tools''
2) Back to the cmd in the way you leaved it do it:
adb reboot bootloader Press Enter. The phone will reboot in fastboot mode. (I suppose you did not shut it down, please don't)
fastboot flashing unlock Press Enter. The phone will prompt you. Read the content of the text if you want. To keep going press ''Volume Up'' DO NOT INTERRUPT THIS PROCESS
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img Press Enter. Now the TWRP will be flashed. Note that I used ''recovery'' as file name.
After the successful flash:
fastboot boot recovery.img Press Enter. TWRP will now start.
3) Unplug your phone.
Your TWRP will show a ''Enter Code'' prompt since your device stills encrypted. Press ''Cancel''
Drag the bar to allow modifications;
Press ''Wipe'' in the main menu;
Drag the bar to do a Factory Reset (THIS IS NOT OPTIONAL);
Press ''Install'';
Select the SuperSU file you downloaded in the above. (I hope you copied it in your SDCard. If you did not, You can plug your phone in your PC, mount your Storage via TWRP, copy the zip file and keep going);
Drag the bar to flash SuperSU zip file (DO NOT select any parameters)
Press ''Wipe Dalvik/Cache''
Press ''Reboot System''
Wait for it.
If you had a successful boot, now your device is rooted. Cheers !

Have you tried the new ROM that came out last month on needrom?

Hi,
Thank you for your work
but I could not find the platform tools 132mb archive in the link you provided.
The only download link close to 132mb is the 149mb I found.
Is this the file you were referring to?

That's right ! Inside this zip and inside sdk tools folder it should be a plataform-tools folder. If not, tell me !

hey guys... sorry to comment in the old thread but I followed the guide and... my phone is booting always in the recovery I really don't know what I have to do now lol

Hi,
I have flashed successful the latest Ulefone Armor 2 Firmware from their site h**p://ulefone.com/download/armor2.html
Then I did all the necessary steps to root the phone. But when I first time start the SuperSU app, get a popup message "SuperSU needs to update"
and hit "OK". After a while get this failure:
"SU Update unsuccessful"
Regards...

After install SuperSu and press "Reboot System", my phone keeps booting into TWRP.
Can someone help me?

Now, Super SU is installed but is asking for update.

Hi all,
I managed to root my Armor 2 but after that I cannot install Netflix from Play Store. It says that device is not compatible.
Does anyone know if the app is restricted to rooted devices?
Thanks in advance

flashed the wrong recovery now stuck ( I used "one click" program )
phone constantly restarts and gives the following error
"
orange
state your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted your device
will boot in 5 seconds
"
the following video is someone else who has the same problem as me
( I didn't have a camera, so I used another video)
I can't do "fastboot and recovery" in any way. Always gives me this error
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJRqMPtKKX4

The best way to root armor 2
1) copy boot-verified.img from firmware folder to internal
2) install magisk
3) download any update in magisk
4) press install and select "select and patch a file"
5)select boot-verified. Img
6)after operation comlate copy magisk-patch. Img file in download folder to pc
7)flash it with sp flash tool

[HOW-TO][WORKAROUND] Use GApps on the Nubia X

Guys, please check your phone version before downloading the toolkit - dont use 2.19 toolkit on 2.21 phone-version! I don't know why everyone is killing their phone right now! This is not an easy-to-do tutorial! It requires time and at least a bit knowledge. Please read this carefully - use google for the most important words and start after understanding everything! I won't help via PM when you 'bricked' your phone!
Welcome to the WIP Tutorial "How to use GApps on the Nubia X"!
Keep in mind this is a workaround and should not be the official way in how to do it! Im not taking any responsibility if anything goes horribly wrong
Understood? Let's go then!
STEP 1 - Preparation
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
We need to prepare the phone now.
Note: This is mandatory for the rest to work
Unlock the Developer options by going to Settings ►About phone ►Rapidly tapping on the "Build number" field until the phone returns "You are an developer".
Go to Settings ► Other system settings ►Developer options - and change the state of "OEM Unlocking" to ON.
Again in Settings ► Other system settings ►Developer options enable "USB Debugging"
Now, you need to prepare your PC (in short: install adb). Please Google this on your own ("How to install adb on {your OS}").
Alright, we are done with the phone for now.
Let's go to the downloads!
STEP 2 - Downloads

nubia-root-toolkit V219 (Actually the magic behind everything). Source: 百度云, pw: 7m9s - by 绯色玻璃
Link2SD (in order to convert to system later)
GoogleFrameworkInstaller
Great job so far.
Now, we can start doing dev-things !
STEP 3 - Let the magic happen! (ROOT)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Note: this is the part where we change system files. Please continue at your own risk! If you don't know what a root is you should better not do that.
Note: I don't own this toolkit. The source is linked above. I would recommend translating the original page source and reading throgh it. Source
Alrighty then? Damn, ur edgy.
Plug in your phone and wait until it gets recognized by your OS.
Extract the "nubia-root.zip", go into nubia-Root ► nubia-X, and run the "nubia-X_Root-V211.exe" with admin priv.
We don't understand nothing, because it is a chinese source... But according to the original thread, close (X) the first window that appears.
You will now see a window with "(Random text) ROOT"-Button on the right. After you click it, you'll get a log output of what your phone is doing via ADB.
Finished? You will see "Success" at the bottom including some weird characters. Lmao #chineseprograms.
What happened right now?
Well your phone is rooted. The program archived this by flashing a partition on your phone with adb.
First, it unlocked it (see my dev thread for more infos) and after that it flashed the bootimage. In short.
Now boot back into your phone and continue your journey!
STEP 4 - Installing apks on the phone
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Remember all these apk's you have downloaded before?
We are going to use them now.
Make sure your phone is still plugged in. We are using 'adb' now so open up a command-prompt / powershell / bash.
The syntax is the following: "adb install NameOfTheFile.apk" - do this with every downloaded apk. Example: "adb install /home/user/link2sd.apk".
STEP 5 - Install GApps
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now the fun part.
We are going to install the required Google Apps as a normal user.
IMPORTANT: Don't run any of the Google Apps after you see them on your phone. I know you are hyped but its not time to do this right now.
Run the App called "谷歌安装器" (or the app with a playstore-like symbol). You will see a screen with chinese text and a blue button.
Click the blue button - the app will now download every GApp you need. After every download you will be prompted to install the app - confirm this and deny any Nubia tips for "hey you can download a newer app". Just install it like a normal app.
If you encounter the "unknown source"-error, follow the instructions on the device (or google "how to enable install apps from unknown sources").
Thats it! Wohoo.
Well no.
Please restart your phone, before continue!
STEP 6 - Make GApps powerful (using Link2SD)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well I didn't found a better way as making the GApps System right now.
Because we don't have access to TWRP (right now ;D), this is the way to go.
I assume you have Link2SD installed (if not, go to Step 4 and install Link2SD!).
Open up Link2SD and click on the three dots located in the upper right hand corner.
Click "Search" and type in "Google". You will see a bunch of applications there but we only care about some of them.
We will use the following procedure: Click on the searchresult ► Click on the three dots ► "Convert to system app" ► Confirm. (It might be called somewhat with "system" in it, if you dont find it).
Do this procedure with the following apps: "Google Service Framework", "Google Play Store", "Google Play Service", "Google Contacts Sync", "Google Calendar Sync" and "Google Account Manager".
Done? Restart your device again. (You can do that by clicking on the side-menu of Link2SD ► Reboot ► Reboot.
Step 7 - Enjoy!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well, you are an official hacker now... Well not really.
But you did something which is not that easy.
If you want to learn more or if you have any questions left contact me on discord (My ID: Captain Teemo#9394).
And if you are happy with the result, consider my time writing this for you and drop me a coffee: https://paypal.me/THeckel - your awesome!
Thanks for reading and enjoy your nubia - as you want!

@Teeemoo, most of the people will do that for first time. It will be good to include:
BE SURE THAT THE PHONE VERSION MATCHES THE VERSION OF THE SOFTWARE!
The described process up it's only of v2.11. For v2.19 and up you need the corresponding tool.
If you ignore that, you risk to soft brick your phone.
1. Magisk and Xposit will be loaded on the phone - do not play at any cost with them (upgrade or stuff). That will put your phone on a boot loop. I know it form personal experience. To fix that it's a bit tricky.
2. When you start the root - be sure that your phone is unlocked. Watch it when it ask permissions.
3. Moving apps with Link2SD can be tricky as well. The app will be moved to /system partition and it's limited. Also if you promote and demote app, doesn't mean that you'll get the same space on /system again. There is option to do that, but need some expertise level.
4. Abut when the GApps to be set at system - after the reboot or before it - I'm not that sure. For me was working the option only after the root. For that reason, preload the Link2SD in advance.
5. v2.19 root reports a virus inside. If you're afraid to open it, then use a sandbox for that purpose (shade sandbox is pretty ok for that purpose).

this is awesome, thank you so much. Let's get you some coffee

Solved : passed "Google play services" in "Link2SD" by mistake.
Thanks for the great job :good::good::good:

Thanks for the quick reply , i did not have an update to do on the phone, i used the chinese software to root first like mentionned in the tutporial , then phone went into device corrupted ,
now im trying to install the oem firmware on the phone im trying with smart flash tool , but in the nx616j update file has no map.txt file
what can i do to reload oem software on the phone?

There are 2 versions for the software.
One of them has a single button on the right side with strange symbols and "root" in between.
The other one has 2 buttons - one is with "root" and the other "fastboot" in between.
If your phone is in boot-loop and before you do something stupid hard-core.
Reboot the phone in fastboot - long hold power, then when restarts - volume down + power.
You may need few restarts before stabilize it in fastboot.
Then use that second software and press the button which has label "fastboot" in the text.
Restart and you have to be ok

here is th escreen after root

Simple fix.
Do what I told you. Read my pervious post.

I read but it's not so clear you mentioned something like 2 programs witch program are you referring too?. Also if you saw my picture I think the software must been reinstalled. I normally works with Samsung and having all the software to fix it but Nubia it's something new for me . Thank you very much for your help.

Br_other refers to the original Chinese link (see the tutorial there is the link somewhere).
The new tool includes a fastboot option.
Try to get the new download, otherwise I will reupload it later.
Otherwise:
Your bootloader is unlocked and a wrong bootimage was flashed.
So basically to repair you need to get into fastboot or recovery by pressing (phone must be off) volume down or up with the power button simultaneously.
If this still works you can download the official firmware, extract the boot.img out there and reflash it with ADB.
Basically adb flash boot boot.img

Hello. Thanks so much for the tutorial.
I have finished all the steps, however when I open playstore, stuck at "checking info" status. What could have I done Wong? Or missed any.
Thanks

phone is brick now
Hi guys
let me explain you whats going on with my phone ... But first i would like to thanks @Teeemoo and @br_other they've helping me a lot with my rooting issues but since then my phone is in boot loop mode and i can't use anymore I read everywhere on the net to found a solution but it's seems to not having anything works!!!! To do a short story my phone was working fine with the chinese rom but was useless without google play services. i was waiting every day for a root or global rom to flashed. Last week i receive a OTA software update version 2.19 so i did the update. 2 days ago i saw a post with all the instructions to root the phone and install the google framework with working apps in the main pages, not like the stupid sand box that was terrible to use. I followed the instruction and root the phone . After the root complete the phone reboot in bootloop mode and with no way to recovery my original software. I've posted my issues in this forum and get help from 2 member mentioned above. They told me to found the other root file with fastboot recovery it was really hard to found because the link is not active anymore but i finally found and install. I've put my phone in fast boot mode and try to recovery but i always had the same error message see the pictures attached. I decide to do more researched on the net and i found a way to install the boot loader IMG using ADB command . I try to install but i realize by making some test that my bootloader is not unlocked so i'm not able to install the image . I d'ont know what can i do now but i think i will throw my phone out the windows .......

Because you need to replace the 'boot.img' part with the location of ur boot.img file.
If you don't have the boot image, tell me and I will extract it for you.
