Sorry, I can't help you because I am in the same probleme... I don't find anything.
But first, did you unlock the fastboot ? (by huawei site)
hey..
same pb on trt-al00 device.. it is android 7 and not installing to Google Play Services..
GAPPs in Huawei Enjoy 7 Plus
I managed to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP recovery and root my China bought Huawei Enjoy 7 Plus.
Then, I installed open_gapps-arm-7.0-mini-20171101 via TWRP, wiped cache and rebooted.
The problem now is that Google Play Store won't open (it quickly prompts "Checking info" and then crashes) and neither can I sign in to my Google account.
Same with the "pico" version. The "stock" version installation failed due to lack of space.

I was wondering if we could flash its global twin brother Huawei Y7 Prime stock firmware into Huawei Enjoy 7 Plus. I just could not find the rom file available to try.
Try the installation with the Magic Module. To use a Magisk module use this guide.

Could you please share how did you got that? I've been looking for TWRP / root just for installing gApps (the **** GMSCore / google installers from HiApp / miui, and so on are NOT working, GMSCore doesn't install, and i always get the "install GMSCore libs for app to work")
I was happy with my Note3 when it suffered an accident in china, bought quickly a mobile "please with global support", and yes, it works great... but without google apps. and I really need them (most important: for many 3rd party using login; lesser: many apps bought in play store, gmaps with its history mode, and so)
In fact, I don't need to nstall everything, I think GMSCore is enough; i've tried to install via ADB but every version i find (even in MicroG) says the package is signed with V2 but signature is not present; So maybe we could have it working if we find a SIGNED for Androiod 7 / emui 5.1 version of GMSCore.apk

Almost there. TWRP seems to install, but for the misc.bin...

misc.bin has "boot-recovery" and a bunch of \0 (NUL charachter) up to 8kb.

Did you use the chinese .bat file included on the zip file to flash TWRP? I didn't get this error.
Both recovery can be accessed. When I turn it on while pressing vol+ button, if the phone is connected to the USB, it boots to the stock recovery. If it is not connected, it boots to TWRP. The vol+ button has to be released as soon as the screens lights.

You said rigth. Every recovery is avaliable (from huawei site:
Phone off state, you can enter Fastboot / eRecovery / Recovery / upgrade these modes:
Need to connect the computer:
Fastboot mode: long press the volume key + power button.
eRecovery mode: long press the volume key + power button.
Do not need to connect the computer:
Recovery mode: long press the volume key + power button.
Upgrade mode: long press the volume key + volume key + power key.
When the phone is in these modes, long press the power button can restart the phone to exit the mode.
). I tried some different combos of microg/gapps/xposed and so, never working (the most I've got was microG telling me spoof signature was activated, but only once, all other times it was not possible). some GMSCore.apk seemed ok from source but it was not installing, when trying via TWRP, it said something about not signature so I needed spoofing it.
in one of the tries, i bootlooped my phone. The "erase all google apps" was my fault. I uninstalled 3 apps (titanium), and on reboot... boot loop prize! Since then, i've been trying to restore, at least to original mobile. But no luck, the only site i've found with firmware (1 full firm, 3 OTA updates) redirects to a huawei site that gives error for downloading them (although other files on same site works). I've tried looking for Y7 prime firmware also without success.
I even tried the eRecovery: boot phone on erecovery, connect to wifi, it updates. Bleh. Not for me. Found this statement on huawei site: http://consumer.huawei.com/cn/support/faqs/detail/?id=143646&name=华为畅享7 Plus -- basically, you cannot do it if you're root. Ok, unrooted phone (via twrp). Same error: "getting package info failed"
I've been trying to d'load rom from http://www.huaweirom.com/device/changxiang7plus/ but bad luck: files are too big and you should install CHINESE app (Baidu cloud). problem is it needs a user for Baidu, and it needs a chinese mobile card. I will insist and maybe i can get the ROM.
Bootloop
I have a chinese SIM card that luckily worked in my country and allow me to create a Baidu account. I downloaded the file and uploaded to my Google Drive account. The shared link was sent to you via PM. I never tested it, since my bootloops have been solved restoring a previous backup done via TWRP.
About the stock recovery, it wasn't working with the build B201. But after the upgrade to the build B210, I was also able to recover it OTA.
Have you tried to TWRP's Wipe factory reset?

FYI: I got your download. Thanks very much ^_^
Also, prior to watching your PM, I found a way for downloading the pan.baidu files without an account (I already had tampermonkey and an arab page had a script for so... just installed script -after reading what it does, of course-, visited page again, and hitting download just simply downloads it)
In any case, I managed to make a "fastboot flash system system.img" (with system.img extracted from update.app), amd mobile came up; needed to reconfigure it all, so i went again through all menus and so. But
WARNING - DON'T DO THIS
I activated the "Find phone" feature from huawei
WARNING - DON'T DO THIS
and that was a BIG mistake. I started again trying to setup google... and i broke it again (i think one of the "GMSInstallers out there I've tested makes an uninstall... but it uninstalls too much!). Mobile was booting, but it only showed a BLACK screen with navigation buttons, and pressing volume keys dropped down the volume menu (in chinese) and that was all. Okay, let's restore again... fastboot... WTF! "FAILED: Need to disable Phone finer first". But the f*** phone does not boot so I can not do that! nightmare begins. Again.
Solved, though. Steps:
- put mobile on fastboot mode (still unlocked, btw)
- Use HiSuite in PC for upgrading. It said "downloading"... uncompressiong...installing recovery...installing system...
- (yes, stock recovery, TWRP lost)
- Installation failed. WTF?!?!?!
- reset mobile; it starts usual boot animation, and then vibrates, and reboots automatically in stock recovery. I try to use it for download and setup upgrade. after download is complete, it fails to install
- Retry HiSuite. This time it ends telling "success". Reboot mobile again
- Again fails to boot. Again try the Wifi solution. This time, I reboot into recovery again, instead going to normal reboot. I do eery wipe I can. it works. Mobile boots again, as brand new mobile.
- I have version B201 with locked boot and stock recovery. But it works.
- There is an OTA ready; download it and install. First try fails (in recovery mode), second try works. Now I have the B210 version.
- I configure things again, and I go... let's install TWRP again in order to create backup (this time I won't forget to do so)
- First step: unlock bootloader again. Ok, it works. Oh, gosh... it makes a factory reset again (all configs done previously, lost).
- Configure all things again. I update all the apps ready to update. Now I can finish install of TWRP and make a full backup of mobile.
Now I'm going to install TWRP, make a full backup, and try to install only basic gapps in the way i've found in other webs: (make a google search for reference): "
Install, in this order (i have installed them through ADB), but do not run them: GoogleLoginService.apk, GoogleServicesFramework.apk, PrebuiltGmsCore.apk, GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk, GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk, Phonesky.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
".
If not, I will try to get ROM for any of Huawei Y7 Prime TRT-AL53, TRT-L21A, or other TRT (for example TRT-LX1, TRT-LX3, Y7 2017, Nova Lite+, they all have 2Gb/16Gb but other specs are the same... and important thing is they are nougat 7.0/emui 5.1 as my last update -B210-, so google apps in that rom may be compatible)

I have it in a mega link, if you like them:
TRT-AL00B102_Android+7.0_EMUI+5.0.rar
I reccomend you using HiSuite, if you don't mind resetting mobile to original state (bye bye pics, videos, apps, and so on, unless you have them in cloud). On the other hand, I did not tested this with TWRP nor huawei's default recovery, but this update.zip is the file HiSuite has downloaded for trying to restore my mobile. You can dow many things with it:
+ Extract system.img and then make a fastboot flash sytem system.img (i did when mobile still had bootloader unlocked, and it worked, leaving my data live)
+ copy dload folder with update.app inside to the root folder of a microSD and put the microSD inside mobile; then try to boot into emergency mode (up+down) or in recovery and install it. I have not tried this method.
Good luck.
... I'm about to resign.
- Installed GApps the usual way (download from gapps, flash with TWRP, dalvik/cache wipe). Opening Play Store: "GMSCore not installed."
- Uninstalled all. Tried the "install only APKs approach" from mobile, in the sequence specified, it fails.
- Uninstalled all. Tried the "install only APKs approach" from ADB, in the sequence specified, it fails. But a light of hope appears: When trying to install (ADB install ....APK), an error appears regarding signature.
- Uninstall all. Using APK Easy tool i sign the critical APKs and try again the ADB install. They are installed. Reboot in recovery, cache/dalvik wipe. Reboot. Boo... failure.
- Uninstall all. Using APK Easy tool I sign ALL the APKs inside the GAPPs pico package and rebuild the ZIP file. TWRP flash it, no errors on screen, cache/dalvik wipe, reboot... boo. Failure. Now I have the same situation as @loconafita after installing gapps: Play store is there, I can run it but nothing happens (sometimes a brief whitescreen appears but then it comes back to previous screen). The same if I try to register a new google account.
I don't know what else to do. Maybe installing a different ROM with already installed google environment from a non-china version of mobile?
Note: In Twrp, when I try to browse over Data folder, it is encrypted. I don't think it is relevant, as GApps are in system, but... just in case.
Any idea?
EDIT: I've tried the magisk solution, but it gives an error 1 on installing; with same result: it does not complaint about GMSCore, but just doesnt't works. When trying to add a g-account, it briefly shows the "checking..." and it comes back to previous screen
I've tried with and without the signature spoofing (and the GAPPS zip is the original downloaded as is from opengapps). Screenshot of the error:

Vodafone Smart first 6* NL *(EU) Rooting and More!
Done & Closed!After a wild chase finding the correct tools and apk's this took me 2 days to complete an fully rooted and Simlock free Vodafone branded Smart Firt 6.
Most of the files can be downloaded from below here on XDADISCLAIMER:
Rooting your phone and using custom Recoveries and ROM's have risks and may Void your warranty and can result in bricking your device, and has nothing to do with Google or the device manufacturers. In case of any mishap I am not responsible if you brick/ruin your phone in any way.
Basic computer skills are required and minimal knowledge about the phone and phone utilities also.
Make sure that whatever you do, you are doing it at your own responsibility.
It may be that you get an *softbrick *(bootloop) because Vodafone still pushing update's for their Firmware patching and upgrading the software!
To be safe please use methods given by: Androrooter and or Kirito9 !
#Rooting:
1# Download the root.apk onto your phone or SD card and install.
2# Now start the app and you will see it's all in Chinese, just click on the Root Shield Badge ontop of the screen.
3# Let it do its magic installing the scripts most likely it will auto reboot your phone without rooting it,
you must restart the root app again and click on the Badge (like done at step 2#).
~Now you are Rooted but the Superuser is Chinese and what i have noticed it's a temporary Root, if you lose root again just redo step 2#!
4# Download and install SuperSu-2.46 now launch an root app most likely the Chinese app will popup granting
for root permission, you must click on the colored (grant) button to accept.
5# Download an Root browser i.e. File Manager and let it gain Root permission, if SuperSu wont ask for Root it's now save to uninstall the Chinese app.
~From now on you permanently Rooted, don't go installing/modding stuff yet until you made an systems backup!
#Twrp or Cwm Recovery (PC version):
1# Download ADB Driver and install on PC. Download from here; http://www.datafilehost.com/d/2267ab98
2# Download TWRP Setup (thanks to Dees_Troy & Yuweng) and unzip on your PC.
3# Activate USB debugging under developer mode* and connect with USB to your PC.
(done by *tapping 7 times on the build number in the about phone section)
3a# Open the Twrp setup.exe and click on the next button.
3b# Just wait till the installation is completed followed by credits.
3c# On the next window, click on yes to proceed.
3d# Select Start Easy Magic TWRP Installer for MediaTek and click on ok
3e# Click on Yes to auto port.
3f# Now make sure your phone is connected, adb driver installed and usb debugging enabled, then click on OK.
~if you get any pop up msg on your phone screen just click on yes.
Just wait for a few seconds while the setup is been completed,
if the process was successful, your phone should automatically reboot into recovery.
~Now you need to make an full backup with Twrp so that all the files are safe!
#More Updates following Soon! To be safe please use methodes given by: Androrooter and or Kirito9 !

Kingroot 4.8 worked, so I ran the TWRP Setup and guess what another way to ruin the phone even further. Stuck in a boot loop now.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS GUYS GUIDE! It will most likely break your phone from start to finish!
Please provide a reset copy of your system.img and recovery.img for people who have lost their phones due to this guide, it would be very useful as the devices can be restored if adb / fastboot access can be achieved.

Well well QuantumRevenger,
Sorry to hear that this method didn't worked out nicely for you.
Maybe your firmware got upgraded and the recovery didn't stick?!
Did you try the combination Power + Vol Up while the phone is off and enter
the Recovery menu clear Cache + Dalvik after this reboot.
I can't help you with the systems files because i ditched the vodafone firmware for Vanilla 4.4.2 Android.
The only thing i can do for you is point to this thread where i moved towards myself-> MTK devices
Here you will learn an little how your MTK device works, also you can search XDA for an different Easy Magic TWRP or CTR or even Philz!
Enjoy
&
Good luck!
Do you know if this will also work on the UK model?

Hello RHodgett,
It most likely would work because this model bought by Vodafone for their (EU) market.
As we all know it's a cheap china phone suited for Vodafone requirements!
~Not speaking for the firmware updates they push once an while~
But rooting can be done very easy with the given root from my post or even now with the updated
Kingroot 4.8 said by QuantumRevenger. And like for the custom recovery it can get tricky mentioned by QuantumRevenger, i had no problem with this at that moment.
But i urge you to read my answer to QuantumRevenger problem from above, after that you can decide at your own risk.
Enjoy
&
Good Luck!
Thanks, I'll give this a go when the handset arrives in a few days and report back.
Can you explain how to then install the Vanilla 4.4.2 Android firmware? (or any other suitable stock firmware for the device)
Come to the otherside

No Problem & you're welcome!,
For flashing roms you need an custom recovery otherwise you can't Flash.
Nobody here is tailoring for our Vodafone branded(China) smart first 6 so you have to go where i send QuantumRevenger towards and where i am. (See post answering QuantumRevenger).
Here you can use the roms and learn more about our MTK devices in general.
For flashing roms you must install in the recovery as an zip file and then you're done!
MTK has other methodes to install but that's for advance users only.
Enjoy
&
Goodluck.
Hi, I've root using the Chinese apk and root checker says the device is rooted but I wasn't able to install SuperSU 2.46, it keeps saying the binaries need to be updated and it fails every time I update.
Rebooting using the TWRP setup just shows the Powered by android splash. I'm not sure what to do now?
Edit: Ok I've flashed a recovery from the threads you linked, finally got a bootloader working. Now to flash a ROM Got CM12.1 running, thanks!
DID not work for me
So I followed all the steps and everything seemed to work fine. The TWRP software said it was going to reboot into recovery but it is stuck at the android logo screen.
When I hold power button + up key its the same, stuck at the android screen.
When I hold power button + down key it boots into vodafone android.
I'm kind of stuck to what to do now (sorry I am really new to this)?

Darn that's a bummer! It worked for me and had everything running xposed, SuperSu etc. :/
Try another Magic installer use CWM or Phillz, they can be found here or via google.
So weird i bet Vodafone did a firmware push on there bootloader or not all EU firmwares are the same(dat would be pretty nonlogical).
Sorry for the troubles please try the above solution and report back if that fixed it.
Goodluck!

3# Let it do its magic installing the scripts most likely it will auto reboot your phone without rooting it,
you must restart the root app again and click on the Badge (like done at step 2#).
~Now you are Rooted but the Superuser is Chinese and what i have noticed it's a temporary Root, if you lose root again just redo step 2#!
4# Download and install SuperSu-2.46 now launch an root app most likely the Chinese app will popup granting
for root permission, you must click on the colored (grant) button to accept.
5# Download an Root browser i.e. File Manager and let it gain Root permission, if SuperSu wont ask for Root it's now save to uninstall the Chinese app.
~From now on you permanently Rooted, don't go installing/modding stuff yet until you made an systems backup!
#Twrp or Cwm Recovery (PC version):
1# Download ADB Driver and install on PC. Download from here; http://www.datafilehost.com/d/2267ab98
2# Download TWRP Setup (thanks to Dees_Troy & Yuweng) and unzip on your PC.
3# Activate USB debugging under developer mode* and connect with USB to your PC.
(done by *tapping 7 times on the build number in the about phone section)
3a# Open the Twrp setup.exe and click on the next button.
3b# Just wait till the installation is completed followed by credits.
3c# On the next window, click on yes to proceed.
3d# Select Start Easy Magic TWRP Installer for MediaTek and click on ok
3e# Click on Yes to auto port.
3f# Now make sure your phone is connected, adb driver installed and usb debugging enabled, then click on OK.
~if you get any pop up msg on your phone screen just click on yes.
Just wait for a few seconds while the setup is been completed,
if the process was successful, your phone should automatically reboot into recovery.
~Now you need to make an full backup with Twrp so that all the files are safe!

Hello Onlydongles,
for root you can use kingroot 4.8 or the given Root apk from above.
Just install like any app for Android and follow the instruction.
Enjoy

Goodluck!

That's the problem. SiInce the file is in ZIP format, downloading into the SD card and then doing the Power+Vol up, and update from SD zip, gives me an aborted message.
Putting the Zip file in the Phone memory (not the sd card) just doesn't open the file, saying format not supported.(casue it is ZIP)
What am I missing? please help with a step by step idiots guide, if you can .
Thanks

The root is an normal APK there are only two zip files here; the TWRP and the SuperSu.
TWRP.zip is an magic installer for your PC with the given USB drivers and Debuging turned on(See my guide).
Now SuperSu.zip can only be installed via an custom recovery like TWRP.
I'm noticing you're trying to flash without an
custom recovery?, that's an no go.
1# Root with given or Kingroot 4.8.
2# Install custom recovery TWRP, CWM or Phillz (Must be an magic installer version via PC) all these versions can be found on Xda.
3# Flash SuperSu via custom recovery and replace the first installed Root!
That's all there is to it, no deeper layers on how-to install.
Enjoy

Good luck!
OK got it. THe only way I could get the APK into my phone is via the phones own browser from this site. I could only move from my pc as a ZIP file only. Hence could not install. But now its done. I think I am rooted now. Root checker still says not rooted, but I can use ES file explorer and have managed to remove a few app. Does this mean it is Rooted?
Can I remove the Rooting apk from the phone now without any adverse impact?
I have also managed to load the TWRP on the SD card. IF I want to Flash a rom, how do I go about it? Can you link and stable ROM which I can use? Need a small tutorial.
AND very many mahy thanks for your support on here and input.

Okay Onlydongles,
I don't think you have Root (yet!), Es browser has an side menu.
Here you must scroll down and select Root Explorer, that's the real test if you got Rooted!
If not install Kingroot 4.8 via your phone browser.
For ROMs you have to go where I send everybody towards ->MTK Devices (link given in answers above).
Flashing ROMs is easy done by custom recovery select the downloaded ROM zip and flash with the given creator instructions B).
Enjoy

Good luck!

2. Download Oppo R9s Plus/F3 Plus Marshmallow Firmware (CPH1611EX_11_A.16_180106) and Extract it using Winrar/7-zip into a seperate FOLDER
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xo-J5Pe65-fXyJbysVrAZYQ1mocfl53s/view
2.1 Also Download Oppo A57 Firmware and extract it anywhere you like
https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B_0XnEjFCVsPWndzSnp2YTFYSkU&export=download

Twrp 3.1.1-0 (Latest) - Material Theme and Inbuilt Super SU Root available for easy rooting BUT Chinese language
Download and Extract only recovery.img and place it under firmware folder. u can delete other files.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gkNNx2Ik6oRF-juBDNIilDUu31w6_oI_/view?usp=sharing
To change the chinese language to english please download and flash this zip But in English language you will not get Super SU Root option to root the device from built-in twrp. you have to download SU zip now. So root directly from chinese language and then flash the english language zip to be on safe and easy side
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634752414
Twrp 3.1.0-0 (old) (RECOMMENDED) -

7. press Start and Flashing will be success (Green color message). press stop and unplug the usb
8. Press and hold Vol Up and Power Button and release them when it vibrates. NOW IMMEDIATELY after seeing oppo logo AGAIN PRESS Vol up + Power button to Power Off your device to prevent booting!!!! (If you fail to turn off your device, mobile will boot and will auto restore the stock recovery. so you will have to re-flash the twrp again)
9. Now press Vol Down + Power button to Enter into TWRP

Hi, i recently update my oppo F3 plus (CPH1613EX_11_A.18_180413 marshmallow), and i try to root it using this method, it's always boot on the stock recovery when i finish (i did step by step every single world you said).
I think that's a security renforcement about this version of colorOs, i wonder if there is a way ton downgrade to the last version without losing my data (lots of apps), because i did root it whit the version that i had once.
Thanks you
Re: So, i flashed my oppo with the msmtool that you put on your post (all images expect datauser partition), and changed the recovery image before the phone boots..... and it woorks perfectly now.
PS: dont upgrade to the version CPH1613EX_11_A.18_180413 if you want root your phone, it won't work.

No, i didn't ; in all case i didn't let the phone boot after passing the recovery.img.
Wich version of rom do you have please ?

NB: after downgrading , the first time, the phone boot directly and it was the new version (wich causes me problems) that was on it, even when i had flashing all the system

1. U need to uncheck reset after download option to not let the tool to reboot it phone into os
2. I have upgraded to a.18 build via ota 65mb and root worked. Tested with my own hands
3. Caution: if you dont CHECK userpartition in msmtool, after reboot it asks for Android password to proceed and we don't know that password. It's a checkmate. You need to wipe everything to boot
4. If you have patience please flash Magical 16.0 and test it. For me Wi-Fi is not turning on after flashing magisk.
5. I suggest you to use the twrp 3.1.0. bcoz the latest 3.1.1 does not flash oppo ota (.ozip)
Thank you for replying, can you please sent me a link for this OTA updates , beacause the one which is proposed for me on my phone weights 1.7Gb , and the only link i found is on a vientnam website wich doesn't work (probabely because i'm in algeria lol)

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!

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

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.

The installation's process and some details [TWRP, ROOT, GAPPS]
Hey!
I finally install and run the beta on my device. The process is very simple and easy to follow:
1. Get the stock rom on your device without root. You will have to do a full wipe of your data and cache from the Recovery. If you have installed a GSI (as me) you can simply use the Unbrick Tool shared on XDA. After that, just flash from a OTG device in the stock recovery the rom. It should install normally (I did it about three times). Let the device restart normally and configure it.
2. At this point, you will have your device working with the android 10 beta without Google Services and root. To get them, follow the next steps. In the developer's settings enable the usb depuration and reboot into the bootloader menu (if you are here, you don't need a guide to do this).
Once in the bootloader, you will have to type the next commands from a PC:
Code:
fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX629J
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [URL="https://forum.xda-developers.com/red-magic-3/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-nubia-red-t3962482"]twrp.img[/URL]
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
You can extract the vbmeta.img from the package of the beta.
You should can boot the custom recovery without problems. There is an importante failure at this point. I can't acces to the data of the sdcard of my device. It could be a problem if you flash a wrong module in magisk and you can't delete it from the recovery.
To get the gapps working and root in the device, flash the "pico" package from the open gapps project page and flash the last version of magisk (maybe this could be the cause of the encrypted data in the twrp, I will be experimenting other options (the most evident thing is that the recovery is not the correct ones for this rom).
3. Just reboot the device and enjoy the new android 10 experience on Red Magic 3. You shold be able to proceed to finish the setup and install all the apps you want. The are some things that didn't work for me: some syncs with the google account (Google Keep, Calendar, etc.), auto-rotation (gyroscope), the music notification panel, various notifications, etc. You can't recover your apps and data from a past backup, the rom doesn't give the storage permission to the Google Play Services, so that's the problem. Just install them from the playstore. You will have to reboot one time before use the play store normally.
I hope the developers of Nubia could make a fully working global rom for this great device. Until then, we have this new option to get the best experience of RM3.
Important: If you just don't like the rom and you would like to downgrade to android 9, you will have to use the unbrick tool in order to avoid a softbrick caused by the anti-rollback system. I tried and it works, but after the program finished the unbrick process the phone started to boot into a black screen, only lighting up the led in a green colour. It was strange and I believed that my phone was bricked without possibility to recover it. After a few tries to reboot the device pressing the power button, I was able to boot without problems into the 2.07 global rom europe version.

Hi. I just installed the rom without formatting the phone and the code of the screen lock that was previously 6 figures has become 4 and they are not the first 4 of the previous one.
Does anyone know what it can be or am I going to have to format it?

Thank you for your useful post. After reading it, I tried the ROM myself, with about the same results. Then I used the unbrick tool to reverse to Android 9.
Things that didn't work for me in the beta:
- Bluetooth kept restarting every 10 seconds, I couldn't use my Bluetooth headset
- Some incompatibility between the ROM and GAPPS, Google Play working only on occasions; after installing some stuff some apps refused to start ( Phone, Settings, Outlook etc).
It was an interesting experience, but it can't be used as the daily driver, at least not for me.

Could you provide us the latest update v3.25 link?
Thank you.
I bought a cracked version of the 4/64 version of Xiaomi Qin F21 Pro unlocked bootloader, rooted, and with preinstalled fully working Google Playstore and Play services running on the official firmware 2.0.8.
But lately there's a very nice update development from 4PDA website for the device! It took me a while before I made it work and a lot of trial and error.
I will make a full detailed easy to follow step by step tutorials on how to do it with all the links for the files required.
The results will be:
A fully converted v1.1.1 custom firmware without the chinese apps
TWRP Recovery
fully rooted
certified playstore and google services fully working
THE PROCESS COULD ALSO UNBRICKED THE PHONE
Requirements:
PC
UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER Xiaomi Qin F21 Pro (MTK soc) V1.0+ V2.0+ (4/64gb ONLY)

...........TUTORIALS SOON
TUTORIAL UPDATE!
MY DEVICE IS 4/64 with unlocked bootloader
Unofficial Qin F21 Pro (MTK chipset) firmware, version 1.1.1 multilanguage.
Thanks to @redsat, @gaguga and the whole 4pda community.
Install at your own risk and responsibility.
For testing purposes only, will be updated or changed if necessary.
Use SP flash tool for flashing, bootloader should be unlocked on the phone (via @mlgmxyysd tool or Ubuntu boot image). Having the full own ROM dump is highly recommended in advance.
Changes:
-Removed chinese applications
-Decrypted data partition
-APK installer with no restrictions
-System partitions are writable
TWRP recovery 3.6.0_11-0 is added
(In TWRP the phone memory is accessible via path: /data/media/0)
WARNING: FLASHING THE FIRMWARE WILL WIPE EVERYTHING! I SUGGEST BACKUP IMPORTANT FILES BEFORE DOING THIS. I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR PHONE DONT BOOT, SOFT/HARD BRICKED! THIS TUTORIAL IS TO DO AT YOUR OWN RISK!
ALL FILES REQUIRED FOR WINDOWS https://www.mediafire.com/file/tl8hv77gl0vo6sd/qin_f21_pro_mtk.zip/file
download and extract zip
extract "F21PRO_1.1.1 (2).zip" (the firmware)
extract "SP_Flash_Tool_V5.zip" (flash tool)
install drivers
open "flash_tool.exe"
select scatter file from the firmware folder
click download
turn phone off
hold back button then plug usb cable to pc. It should start flashing
after download complete, unplug then boot to TWRP then reset factory
Congrats! You now have chinese free apps firmware with TWRP Installed
If it wont boot "DEVICE ENCRYPTED", just go to TWRP and FORMAT DATA then reboot (it should boot to system now)
transfer "boot_2.img" phone or transfer it to a USB Flashdrive (more easier to locate) (FOR 3/32 VARIANTS TRY TO USE THIS BOOT IMAGE BOOT.IMG 3/32)
boot to TWRP once again
go to device path /data/media/0 or USB storage path using OTG
FLASH IMAGE "boot_2.img" to boot partition to fix the device twrp path to /sdcard (IMPORTANT! boot is an IMAGE FILE not ZIP FILE. by default, TWRP is set to check for zip file and will n0t se IMAGE FILES in the directories. YOU NEED TO TAP THE INSTAL IMAGE BUTTON so image files will appear)
reboot and proceed to installing ROOT and Google services
HOW TO BOOT TWRP:
* + heart button (upper left) + power on. once douqin logo appears press up button + power on immediately. TWRP first boot is in Russian language. just change it to english change twrp language
HOW TO ROOT + GAPPS with playstore certified + fix keypad annoying issue
transfer all the app APK from the "APK" folder youve download
install everything (QinPad be a more stable keypad input)
open gboard and enabled both gboard and QinPad (this should give you a quick switch of input in the notification bar everytime you will type something)
open MAgisk app and update the apps to 22.1. phone reboots (DO NOT UPDATE TO VERSION 24.3)
Open magisk again then Install Magisk > Select a patch file > choose "boot_2.img" in your directory (path where you transfer it)
transfer "open_gapps-arm64-11.0-pico-20211217.zip" to device
boot to TWRP
FLASH IMAGE "boot_2.img_patch" IN THE BOOT PARTITION. then reboot. should be found in download path in TWRP
go TWRP again and flash "open_gapps-arm64-11.0-pico-20211217.zip"

HOW TO FIX NO/DELAYED INSTALLED APPS NOTIFICATIONS
Thanks for JawadEly for the info, it works!
1. Install all your apps
2. Install terminal emulator app and system app remover app from playstore (this will give you the apk path you want to systemize)
3. open magisk, search and intall "APP SYSTEMIZER" module then reboot.
4. open terminal emulator app
6. type "su" and grant the permission
7. type "systemize"
8. You need to set Selinux = TRUE by choosing "s"
9. once its set to TRUE, you can now systemize any app provided you know the apk path of the apps installed.
10. enter "3", here is where you put the apk path of the app you want to systemize
11. to get the apk path of installed app open the "system app remover" app you installed.
12. go to user apps and LONG PRESS an app you wish to systemize.
13. copy the apk path then go to terminal emulator and paste it. Type "1" to confirm.
14. Go to settings > apps list > clear storage of that app you transfer as system app
15. done! just repeat the proceedure for each app you wish to fix the notifications.
BEWARE! Be careful using system app remover. Don't uninstall system apps required for the android system. You might end up in a bootloop. This app is also used to remove bloatwares of OEM firmwares.

UPDATE! MY DEVICE IS 4/64 with unlocked bootloader (must)
Unofficial Qin F21 Pro (MTK chipset) firmware, version 1.1.1 multilanguage.
Thanks to @redsat, @gaguga and the whole 4pda community.
Install at your own risk and responsibility.
For testing purposes only, will be updated or changed if necessary.
Use SP flash tool for flashing, bootloader should be unlocked on the phone (via @mlgmxyysd tool or Ubuntu boot image). Having the full own ROM dump is highly recommended in advance.
Changes:
-Removed chinese applications
-Decrypted data partition
-APK installer with no restrictions
-System partitions are writable
TWRP recovery 3.6.0_11-0 is added
(In TWRP the phone memory is accessible via path: /data/media/0)
Separate TWRP as boot.img attached as well (thanks to 4pda comrade @yurxxl)
Also you can install Magisk and GAPPS as zip packages via TWRP.
WARNING: FLASHING THE FIRMWARE WILL WIPE EVERYTHING! I SUGGEST BACKUP IMPORTANT FILES BEFORE DOING THIS
ALL FILES NEEDED for WINDOWS https://www.mediafire.com/file/tl8hv77gl0vo6sd/qin_f21_pro_mtk.zip/file
download and extract zip
extract "F21PRO_1.1.1 (2).zip" (the firmware)
extract "SP_Flash_Tool_V5.zip" (flash tool)
install drivers
open "flash_tool.exe"
select scatter file from the firmware folder
click download
turn phone off
hold back button then plug usb cable to pc. It should start flashing
after download complete, unplug then boot to TWRP then reset factory
Congrats! You now have chinese free apps firmware with TWRP Installed
If it wont boot "DEVICE ENCRYPTED", just go to TWRP and FORMAT DATA then reboot (it should boot to system now)
transfer "boot_2.img" phone or transfer it to a USB Flashdrive (more easier to locate)
boot to TWRP once again
go to device path /data/media/0 or USB storage path using OTG
FLASH IMAGE "boot_2.img" to boot partition to fix the device twrp path to /sdcard
reboot and proceed to installing ROOT and Google services
HOW TO BOOT TWRP:
* + heart button (upper left) + power on. once douqin logo appears press up button + power on immediately. TWRP first boot is in Russian language. just change it to english change twrp language
HOW TO ROOT + GAPPS with playstore certified + fix keypad annoying issue
transfer all the app APK from the "APK" folder youve download
install everything (QinPad be a more stable keypad input)
open gboard and enabled both gboard and QinPad (this should give you a quick switch of input in the notification bar everytime you will type something)
open MAgisk app and update the apps to 22.1. phone reboots (DO NOT UPDATE TO VERSION 24.3)
Open magisk again then Install Magisk > Select a patch file > choose "boot_2.img" in your directory
transfer "open_gapps-arm64-11.0-pico-20211217.zip" to device
boot to TWRP
FLASH IMAGE "boot_2.img_patch" should be in download path
flash "open_gapps-arm64-11.0-pico-20211217.zip"
reboot THE CURRENT SLOT

Thank you for this! I managed to get everything installed and running. Will be testing it out in the meantime! Thanks again bro! No more bloatware!
If you have a 32GB model, when using Flash Tool, uncheck the tickbox saying "userdata" as leaving this on will completely brick your device.

I'm not sure. I found that warning from a Telegram group 3 days ago as someone already bricked their 32GB model when they flashed it with userdata option left being checked

I'd suggest to use Traditional T9 IME app. Not sure if this supports Korean as most of the languages supports English, French, Russian, etc.
