[ROM] [7.1.1] Umidigi Z Pro - Nougat - offline update - UMi Z ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme

So this is the latest available version ( June, 5th)
Installation is very safe and simple - just place the update.zip on your sd-card and follow one of these methods:
a. reboot to recovery and install the update.zip file
b. restart the phone, go to Settings --> About phone --> Wireless update --> 3-dots menu button --> Local updates --> browse for the update.zip and Confirm installation.
NB. in a couple of weeks a new release is expected. You can either install this one and then update viaOTA or check this thread for the new offline update

Anyone else struggling with reboots and the odd shutdown when mid call ? Any fix till the new update would be great ?

BTW this update is from May 6th, check settings, easy mistake

Thanks.
Welcome, glad you're alive.
Incase you're wondering vivoforums got shutdown.
Anyway.
I tried the lastest 2.0 Custom ROM v6.12.2 by Bine and Drov44.
Both can flash without factory reset.
Bine's v6.12.2 Custom ROM has Gmail issue, there is a fix for that and
Viper4android works.
Drov44's v6.12.2 Custom ROM Gmail is working so as Viper4android.
I can't get Xposed Framework to work for both ROM. Not sure this can work with wipe though.
So I had to return to 6.11.1. I need that Youtube Adway and Gravity Box.

Do you know why it was shut down?
I found bine on a Russian forum, not sure where everyone else went. I was hoping it was a short term problem. It's a pity it's gone as there was a lot of useful information for the Xshot and Xplay.

I went to meizufans.eu (associated to vivoforums.com) created a account, PM the admin what had happened.
Here's the reply.
Complain at Mr.Eyckmans AKA HondaRacer. Because of his greed he refused to give it to us. Instead he tried to pull all of us over.

Yeah same. Lucky i saved most of my guide in a text document and Google Chrome Cached.
I already notice the RUS forum, can't seem to register.
Thailand Vivo Facebook is very active though.
So what ROM are you current using?

I'm still using 1.16.2. I am happy with the stability, all camera controls work as they should, too many complaints on the Chinese forums about deterioration in photo quality and the hard controls not working with zoom etc.
Also complaints about battery life was another factor for holding off.
Xposed framework is installed and all the modules are working. GPS is spot on, cell location works 100%, Google Playstore and services update without problems.
With Funtouch so heavily skinned, I see little point at this time to upgrade to Kitkat.
I did install Nova Launcher early on in my purchase, but saw no real gains in speed, and missed the layout and benefits of funtouch.
My wife has Lollipop on her Nexus 5,and having had a play with it, I don't think I'm missing out.
I will keep coming back to this thread as I may update when it looks like it's really worth it

Hi Wets,
Glad to found you here with the Xshot thread with you. Miss the Vivoforums. Anyway all is well now as I know you will keep this thread alive. Anything worth having in the new update (2.0 6.12.2)? Would like to have a crack on that MIUI Rom V6 as I have it in my MI2 but hate to flash & back if not that smooth as I'm expecting. Hope some people (Vivoforums members), will find this thread and can share their experience.

I don't know.
I'm on bine FunTouch 2.0 6.11.1 with a bit of modification like disable unwanted app, GPS fix and Gmail fix if you have. It's sufficient enough.
I find the GPS and Camera are working quite flawless but i'm no expert. The battery Screen On Time on FunTouch 2.0 is better than 1.2 in my opinion. I get 1 extra hour of Screen On Time.
For Nova launcher, i need the 5x5 home screen and the app drawer. Thus all my phone have Nova Launcher.
Agreed on the Lollipop. i tried CM 12.1, some of the feature is already featured in FunTouch 2.0.

Thanks, I'm just one person. It will be grateful to share any information for the Xshot.
For 2.0 6.12.2 update, i think it's minor so nothing interesting. I can't seem to install Xposed Framework on any Custom ROM running 2.0 6.12.2, so i decided to fall back to 6.11.1.
I'm in the same boat as you, just to lazy to flash MIUI ROM since you have to Factory Reset. Could Backup APPS only in TWRP Recovery and restore it but i never tried it.

I'm glad to know that we have this thread in xda. I didn't get any update and information for the last 4 month after vivoforum been shutdown. I just want to know if is it true that vivo xshot got lollipop custom rom? Here's the link http://newblogphonereviews.blogspot.com/2015/03/working-tutorial-how-to-updateupgrade_96.html?m=0

The website link you're providing is 100% Fake/Scam making users believe it's real.
Here's the reason.
- All duplicate content and put "device name"
- Putting ad survey means another red flag
- The comments are duplicate
Lollipop is still in progress i believe, just enjoy your current version you won't miss anything.
If you want to check any Lollipop update, Go to your OTA (Setting -> System Update) or Go to the Official Chinese Vivo Forum " http://bbs.vivo.com.cn/forum-138-1.html " to see any indication of Lollipop.
Thanks, will keep this Thread up-to date as possible.
Any ways Welcome.

I've rooted my xshot. I try to update to rev 2.5.3, but after the download completed and I try to install it, it say need to boot into recovery mod (stock recovery). But when I boot to recovery mod there's nothing to install. Then I reboot to see if anything goes wrong, it just show the notification that my xshot got new update, need to download it again. I tried several time to update but still the same. So I decided want to flash any stable custom rom. So any suggestions? Which one I should try? V6.11 or V6.12? If I flash one of these rom can I just flash it without wipe data/factory reset? Can you please attached more screenshot?

Drov44 6.10.3 - I haven't tried it, should be ok.
Bine 6.11.1 - Has Gmail issue.
Drov44 6.11.1 - No issue according to users.
Bine 6.12.2 - Has Gmail Issue and Can't install Xposed Framework.
Drov44 6.12.2 - Can't install Xposed Framework.
You MUST Wipe/Factory Reset if you are coming from any Chinese and International FunTouch 1.2
If you're on Any Chinese 2.0 Custom ROM if can flash with NO Wipe/Factory Reset. Example are you're on FunTouch 2.0 v6.9.7 Custom ROM, it can Flash 6.9.8, 6.10.3, 6.11.1, 6.12.2 with no Wipe/Factory reset but if you are experiencing problem if might have to factory reset.

FunTouch 1.2 based on 4.4 kitkat (Credits to andrejchern)

How to Install
Installation via a custom recovery (TWRP, CWM) do a reset, clean the dalvik cache and select the zip on внутренней(внеш.sd map) install, reboot the system.
Changes
Firmware based on flow FT OS android 1.2 4.4 KitKat. Changes: not all cut Russified right Russian users, changed the font. Added: keyboard, apps from Google (Play Market, Youtube, Gmail, Maps)
Problem
Bugs: Flight memory information in the Russian language, perhaps the video (not tried) when selecting settings. When you enable the geolocation from Google, location is switched on and off. through the settings of Google.

Just downloaded international 1.16. Flash it without factory reset, installation aborted. Try with different recovery, still the same. Need to unroot first so I can update. I have touch distortion issue for awhile and I don't know how to get rid of it, little bit slow to respond when typing. How can I unroot back so I can update to rev 2.5.3? It would be more cool if we have pure cm12 rom without funtouch. Hope somebody can provide it for us xshot user.

I never have touch distortion issue, probably use a different keyboard might solve it.
I'm really confused of your situation. Just answer those question below might help.
What current ROM you're using right now?
Is your device Rooted?
What current Recovery do you have?
What's the desire ROM you want to flash/install?

Yes I rooted my device using towelroot.apk,
I used twrp,
My desire rom is cm rom that have cm function like my old s4, they used to have plenty of rom that based on cm.
Let us forget about it. Now this is my current situation.
I flashed funtouch OS 2.0 6.12.2rus. I love the new ui.
The problem is...
Battery drain too fast,
Cannot use other launcher,
Can't detect flashdrive,
Didn't have option to select 3g only,
Others work perfectly. By the way, about my touch distortion it is because I used my powerbank damaged USB cable. I tried with other cable and it's working, but when I unplug the cable, the distortion still there. Thanks again for providing this thread buddy ?
Hopefully they solve the battery drain problem for the future update.

Did you Root your phone at 1.16 using Towelroot.apk?
For Battery life
You just flash a ROM recently, probably need to wait couple of days to judge the battery life. Does the battery drain by standby?
To change launcher
Go to Imanager -> App mgt -> Default App Setting -> The Default Desktop -> Now select your Launcher
I can connect a 8GB flashdrive using OTG cable working fine.
And 1TB Portable Hard Drive using the OTG Y cable it needs power though so i plug one of the Y cable in to a Power-bank. Working fine.
To connect 3g only is to go to Setting -> Mobile Network -> Network Mode -> Select 3G(pref)/2G
I can't comment about the Touch Distortion issue, never experience this before.
Hope this will help.

I found that Vivo Xshot is a good phone but less support even in Vivo chinese forum

Lenovo a6000 plus Lolipop 5.0.2 official OTA zip file(Google drive)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B39MStD8CDnVM2NQaEoyTnhtbGs/view?usp=docslist_api
Hey guys above is the Google drive link for official ota update for our Lenovo a6000 plus 1024mb
I had rooted Lenovo a6000 plus to install the viper4android fx equalizer did not install any custom rom
Rooted using superuser app using adb and successfully unrooted using the native superuser full unroot option. Still I was scared that the ota might brick my phone, but no it didn't brick my phone. I heard people bricked their phones using the kingroot app.
Place the zip file into sdcard0/lenovoota/
And press on the new found firmware and click update now
If this method doesn't work do it manually
Goto about/software updates
1. Click on the leftmost capacitive button
2. Click on toolkit
3.Then click on the first option install update from sdcard by a zip file
4. It will reboot the phone into recovery and ask you to select the zip file
*In the recovery Use Vol up and down to navigate ; Power button to select*
5. select the zip file and then select yes
6. sit back and relax ,wait for 10 to 15 mins
7. After update it is recommended that you apply a factory reset.
http://snappydevelopers.blogspot.in/2015/09/lenovo-a6000-plus-stock-lolipop-rom.html
My review:
https://youtu.be/EVMmETp1_Ec
Changes:
1. Camera is very well caliberated and optimized to capture good images makes the camera more optimized with less grains and no over exposure of flash
kitkat vs lolipop camera samples: http://snappydevelopers.blogspot.in/2015/09/lenovo-a6000-plus-kitkat-vs-lolipop.html
2. Battery saver which can boost your battery upto 90 mins more
3. Material design
4. 3d multitasking tray which is always helpful.
5. lockscreen notifications and float notifications and caller float notification
Bugs solved after a factory reset:
1. WhatsApp contacts not displayed
2. play store 64 bit error
Bugs: https://youtu.be/QHvGJkyblfo
1. Third party apps cannot write to the external sdcard
*The default apps can write to external sdcard*
2. default launcher pops up after every reboot
3. after unplugging the headphones the ringer volume is turned low
4. The mx player when headphones plugged in and volume increased above 10% it quits the app.
5. All four cores are running continuously which drains the battery faster but the phone still can manage to give a backup of 1 days on moderate-heavy usage and 1.5 days on low-moderate usage
6. No multiuser support
7. Estimated charging time not displayed on the lockscreen
8.One more bug which I noticed recently is that some facebook videos won't run
Hope Lenovo will fix these bugs soon

Either way youtube is actually rendering a stable 60fps on the gs4! Only way this was possible was whe performance mode was turned on in cm12.1 now its doing it on touchwiz at default, thats big news, at we need to do is find the bug or whatever is causing the unstable 60fps when information dissapears i youtube or pressing the screen to get 60fps
(Edit2) happy day guys a happy thanks giving which i always wanted on this phone 1 of the main reasons why i choose aosp over tw, i can now play 60fps videos on YouTube with real 60fps and not stuttery 60fps before hok1!)) so i notice that youtube was not 60fps when choosing 60fps quality so i go to setting and enable nuplayer and reboot and its flawless :,) aosp please implement this to ur roms!

There are possibly two libdivxdrm.so files in /system/lib/ one is about 180kb and the other around 200kb, rename or delete the 180kb one and keep the other in all lowercase name, that may help fix stuttering.

180kb i renamed, i didnt fully understand the all lowercase? 200kb? I seen the libdiv 200kb with all lowercase already,the videos run without any stutter 60fps, but after multytasking apps the videos start to stutter again, i tried clearing memory but no go, theres gotta be a fix.

Those. The boot-loader is unlocked, debugging is enabled, then into the fastboot and we sew, the batch file in Chinese is full.
Steps:
1. Flash 3.9.075 via QPST (if you already have 3.9.075 leave this step)
2. Unlock Bootloader.
3. Flash TWRP.
4. Flash ZUI 5.

thank you for your work.
i tested first with zui5 and then zui10 they both booted successfully, the only problem i am facing is that vendor and persist doesnt mount, hence mobile network and wifi is not available, and you cant move past the activation screen, so i am working on that
it looks like it is not being mounted because of encryption, so i am force mounting it by flashing it in twrp.

I can't copy MUIU file to internal storage, it says file limit larger than device limit ?
It's more than 4gb

I am on Pie 9. Is that true if i flash MIUI 10, then using QFIL to flash stock Rom, and i can go back to stock???

1) DOWNLOAD
- djibe Galaxy S7 hero2lte pack: https://bit.ly/djibe-galaxys7edge-pack
(contains Samsung tweaked Odin 3.13.1 + Samsung USB drivers + TWRP 3.6.2_9-0 official recovery + Magisk Root + adb.exe). Unzip files.
+ ROM Unofficial LineageOS 20: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ofing-ota-updates-for-s7-edge-exynos.4484511/
Download latest build: https://ivanmeler.github.io/devices/hero2lte.html
+ BiTGApps Package ARM64 13: https://github.com/BiTGApps/BiTGApps-Release/releases
OR NikGApps T Basic: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nikgapps/files/Canary-Releases/NikGapps-T/
OR MindTheGApps 13 ARM64: http://downloads.codefi.re/jdcteam/javelinanddart/gapps
+ Charge phone to 100%
2) BACKUP DATA
Install Samsung USB drivers (you unzipped earlier).
Then plug phone to PC in File transfer mode.
Collect all .jpg or .mp4
Use Google built-in cloud to backup apps like SMS Backup & Restore to backup texts, contacts, etc.
Backup your WhatsApp messages in Google Drive.
Everything else: podcasts, Authenticators, TODOs etc...
Then copy the backup on your PC.
Make sure you have latest official updates for your phone:
Connect to Wifi and go to Settings > About device > Software update > Update now
### BACKUP NOW, you will lose everything.
3) FLASH TWRP 3.7 RECOVERY
Go to Settings > About phone> Software information.
Tap 7 times on Build number item to unlock Developer options.
Go to Settings > Developer options, switch OEM unlock ON and Confirm.
Shutdown phone.
Boot in Download Mode: hold Home + Power + Volume- until you see blue-green Warning screen and release buttons.
Confirm access to Download mode by pressing Volume+.
Phone now displays "Downloading..., Do not turn off target".
Connect phone in USB, wait for drivers installation.
Then launch Odin.exe (included in my archive) and wait for Odin indicator ID:COM to become blue.
In options: Verify re-partition and Auto Reboot are NOT ticked while F. Reset Time is ticked.
In AP > select twrp-3.6.2_9-0-hero2lte.img.tar
### Same recovery for Korean models (G930S/K/L variants)
### Warranty will be Void after next click ###
Click Start.
Wait until flash Success message appears.
Unplug phone.
Restart phone to recovery :
- hold Power + Home + Volume- until phone screen becomes black...
- and immediatly switch from Volume- to Volume+ (still holding Power + Home) and hold until Samsung's logo is displayed to land in TWRP recovery.
### If Android launches, hold 3 buttons until phone restarts and Samsung logo appears.
4) BACKUP IMEI PARTITION AND SYSTEM (Nandroid backup)
(Boot in Recovery Mode: Hold Home + Power + Volume+ until you see Samsung's logo then release and wait a few seconds for TWRP recovery to boot)
Recovery asks for Keep System Read Only ? > Swipe to Allow Modifications.
Go to Wipe > Format Data.
Type: yes and confirm with bottom right check icon.
Encryption is removed. You can now access partitions.
### If you miss this step you won't have access to any partition.
Back to home menu > Backup.
You can now select the partitions you want to save.
Select at least EFS partition to backup your IMEI. If a flash fails and partition is damaged you will still be able to restore this partition and use the phone.
If IMEI is lost during a flash, phone won't be able to reach cellphone networks.
I prefer to backup Boot, System, Baseband and EFS partitions. In case of problem, you will have your phone in its original state.
Swipe to Backup and wait during process.
Go to Home screen and continue with next chapter.
Save backup: still under TWRP recovery, connect phone to PC.
Go to Mount menu and check Data partition is checked and MTB button is on "Disable MTP" state.
From Windows explorer, access phones memory and copy-paste the TWRP folder (located in root folder, beside DCIM and Music folders) somewhere safe on your computer.
5) FORMAT PARTITIONS
### Make sure you copied TWRP backup from internal memory to somewhere safe.
Go to Wipe > Advanced wipe,
select Dalvik, Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage (if you really made a backup at step 2), then Swipe to Wipe.
Back to TWRP home screen, go to Reboot > Recovery and swipe to reboot.
On next launch, check the checkbox to remember choice and swipe to allow modifications.
6) FLASH ROM, (MAGISK ROOT) AND GAPPS
Back to TWRP main menu, go to Mount menu again to connect phone to PC again.
Connect phone to PC and use Windows explorer to copy files on phone's internal memory.
Copy TWRP folder from your phone to somewhere safe on PC.
This backup can restore your phone to its original Samsung state.
Copy files of ROM + BitGApps + Magisk on phone.
Go back to TWRP Home menu. Then tap on Install > choose lineage*.zip,
Optional for root: Add More zips > Magisk*.zip
then Swipe to confirm Flash.
Wait for operation to end.
Go to Reboot > Recovery and swipe to reboot.
After restart, go to Install, select bitgapps*.zip and swipe to flash.
Then tap Wipe cache/dalvik, swipe to confirm,
then Reboot System and on Install TWRP App? menu, tap on button Do Not Install
Wait for the phone to boot during 5 minutes.
7) ROOT ACCESS
Configure Android as you like.
Don't try to set fingerprints at first setup. It will crash.
No need for extra work to be root.
Magisk launches with Android.
Superuser permissions can be managed from Magisk Manager app.
8) TWEAKS
- Calibrate battery: https://www.ifixit.com/Wiki/Battery_Calibration
- Set dark Mode to improve battery by 30%
Settings > Display > Dark theme.
- For better battery, remove Always on display
Settings > Display > Lock screen > Ambient display
- Activate Developer options
Go to Settings > About.
At bottom, tap 7 times on Build number. You activated Developer options.
Go to Settings > System > Advanced > Developer options.
- Change screen definition for low GPU/CPU usage: from 1440x2560 to 1080x1920
You need developer options to enable USB debugging.
Open a terminal where adb.exe from my pack is located.
Plug phone and Authorize USB debugging.
Then type:
Code:
adb shell wm size 1080x1920 && adb shell wm density 400
// Defaults 1440x2560 and 504
- Screen sensitivity is too low ?
Try to recalibrate screen sensitivity with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=touchcalibration.favoritappindia&hl=en&gl=US
Enjoy,

Thanks for the detailed instructions.
Please fix two minor typos: In the Odin instructions, the files should be hero2lte* not herolte*.

I installed older version TWRP with Odin and new version

hey @djibe89 & other XDA folks, thanks for these steps.
I have a SMG935W8 and currently borked on the BiTGApps step. All proceeded smoothly until there and now I'm seeing an error on TWRP and I'm not really sure how to resolve it.
It's complaining that the install config is not found and that it's an unsupported Android SDK version, which doesn't seem quite right.
Any tips would be highly appreciated

Judging from my deep dive, the current LineageOS 19.1 builds are SDK 32, and the BiTGapps builds only support up to 31... Definitely looking for tips, still.
Going to try this post's GApps

Hi, for now, stick to latest LOS 19 build: https://github.com/ivanmeler/ota_provider/releases/tag/herolte_lineage-19.0_1646935359, not 19.1

Or could you try NikGapps and tell us?

Thanks @djibe89 ! I went with NikGapps and that was a win.
It might be good to edit the top post to say 19.0 or have the NikGapps linked in it, for future readers.
Phone's working great. I appreciate it!

Hi, I'll update it.
I hoped a newer BitGapps update would be released by now.
Enjoy, this phone is awesome

Hey again!
Been daily driving this for a bit and here's a laundry list of the issues I see, in no order at all.
I'm not sure if they're Lineage issues or artifacts of being an "unsupported" Lineage build.
1. The screen just stays on despite the power save settings (I've tried 15s, 30s, you name it) if I'm on the home screen. Trebuchet, is it?
It's like it has some keep alive function a la YouTube. It's not 100% but it seems far more than 50% of the time that I have to manually lock the device. Anyone know if I've just configured something wrong or if this is how the launcher is supposed to work?
2. Phone services will not stop demanding my location, no matter what I configure. It's every few minutes and it's creeping me out a ton. Why is it so nosey?
3. The call audio quality is still barely usable. While I *can* have intelligible business conversations when required, they suffer the quality noticeably and are terribly robotic and tinny. For personal calls, I tried to play it off once but immediately was laughed out of the call: they asked before even a "how are you" could pass if we could switch to VoIP since it was so comically bad. After some kind tips from Ivan I tried mucking with the mixer levels to no avail. They did seem a bit "low" compared to the 18.1/19.0 values, so I pumped them in a couple places (NB volume from 22 to 32, call default volume on 917 from 98 to 164 -- I have no clue what any of these mean). It might be louder now? It's not worth an A/B test to confirm what should be the expectation, but my point is that it didn't fix the robotic, tinny quality.
4. Banking app complains of the device being rooted, but it isn't. "Great." I hear the latest Zygisk might fix? I haven't tried yet.
Now, I'm still excited to be on 12L! I'm trying to buff my ability to dev on this ROM and fix up some of these issues, as I really don't think this phone needs to be replaced yet, but being stuck on stock Oreo isn't working either, so I say let's hack this thing till it's stable as stock!

Hi @Bujiraso , thanks for sharing.
Didn't use it on a daily basis
Have you tried another launcher ?
I think bank apps detect custom ROM, nothing can be done. Hope I'm wrong. Some genius of signature spoofing can pass this I believe. But I'm not.

Hi, sadly no.
9350 and 9300 have Snapdragon SOCs, not Exynos.
Only Android 8 ROMs: https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-snapdragon-roms-kernels.5975/

Oh, ok. And is there any good custom rom for the SM-G9350 model?

Like you see here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-snapdragon-roms-kernels.5975/
No.
This happens with Qualcomm proprietary SOCs
