Hello. I just wanted to say thanks for posting. I wish I was more of a developer, I'd sure take a look into it. Maybe someone will be able to help. I read the posts in Reddit as well. Looks like the software is the first software released with the phone. I was thinking there's a way to dd a system image with ADB.
I don't know if you're familiar with that.
Hopefully someone can help.

Just another idea... I guess you could boot to TWRP since your bootloader is unlocked and make a backup. That way you don't have to flash it.
If you could do that and then PM me I'd like to take a look to see if I could get it workable. Up to you though. Can't believe no one has replied or gotten with you.

[Q] Replacing stock firmware

Hi,
I bought my Moto G from an online store in Romania. The phone is great, but my firmware is AsiaRetail and I would like to change it to a European one, or even the Global version. Can that be done without rooting my phone? Can I somehow select which version to install with the upcoming update? If so I would be very grateful!
Thank you!
Just flash eu retail firmware with xda guide. You don't have to root etc.

Yes but it seems like I have to unlock the bootloader. I've had a lot of problems with my last phone and lost the warranty because I wanted a stock android experience. This time I'm trying to keep it simple and safe (as long as I can before I start a flashing spree again)

You don't.

And talking about the flashing spree, I did surrender to it. Totally not worth it though, at least for now. Stick with stock, don't mess around, it's as good as it gets.

And what would I have to do to install a EU firmware without root or unlocked bootloader? All the guides I've found need at least one. Any help would be highly appreciated!

Dear friend, the following guide is intended for you. It does not require root, nor an unlocked bootloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
You'll probably want to wait until official 4.4.3 images are available - that way, you won't need to update your system after flashing, making for a very clean installation.
Enjoy

[Q] Flashing the Shield Tab to work on Verizon

Hi guys. Sorry if this is a dumb question but is it possible to flash the Shield tab so it works on Verizon's band instead of AT&T/T-Mobile?
Many folks have asked this, but no one is game to try it out. Being in Australia, I'd really like to attempt the WW version flash and see if I could use my Virgin Mobile Australia SIM to connect to 4G.
It seems theoretically possible, and I guess the only thing that would happen would be that you would get a non-booting device and would need to flash the original OS back onto the tablet through ADB.

Hah, and I see you also asked exactly the same question on the forums.geforce.com forum.
Man, I wish forums.geforce.com had Tapatalk support. It is a terrible CSS scheme for mobile device interaction.

Thanks bro. Yeah lets hope there's a solution soon.
I'm going to create a new forum post requesting an update on Android 5.0 Factory Images, then I'll take the plunge I reckon!
The other thing you could do would be to Download the last known full recovery image then let the OTA process upgrade the OS to Android 5 (now that all the OTAs for LTE are officially out).
After such a huge change in OS, I'm inclined to reinstall the OS from scratch anyhow. I know folks may scoff at me for doing this, but I did it on my Nexus 5 and the device is running so much better now.

Have a nice day
EDIT : According to DC-Unlocker, the firmware is : Delhi-L22C432B102

Install TWRP?

Hey,
i recently found an interesting website.
techdroidtips.com/install-twrp-recovery-zte-nubia-x/
techdroidtips.com/root-zte-nubia-x/
Do you think this is fake or is it worth a try?
I guess unlocking the bootloader and rooting might not be the most difficult thing (according to the history of nubia devices)...
but is it really that easy?
Im kinda getting the feeling that this is a self-generated website with nubia specs so it looks legit.
I believe these are somewhat fake.
The instructions are legit, this is the basic process to install twrp on any phone.
However, if you read through both sites where it says "click below to download twrp" its crossed out and there is no download link.
This is because TWRP does not currently exist for the Nubia X.
once TWRP is released for the Nubia X, which you can check in on here;
https://twrp.me/Devices/Nubia/
Then you can go back to those sites if you want and follow the instructions.
Also should mention those sites talk about installing CWM & Cyanogen on the X ....again these do not exist for the Nubia X
I'm keeping an eye on Nubia's Chinese forum to wait for a proper recovery ported by community developers, right now there's root but with a modified Magisk which can't be upgraded or further tweaked, I'm still waiting for a better one.

Nubia does not need to unlock the bootloader, and my root does not need to unlock the bootloader.

I guess you can't really flash a custom recovery with locked Bootloader, and this topic is about TWRP, not root.
