HI, I am hoping someone there can assist me.
I have just received my ZUK Z1 and have seen that they support the Cyanogen Mod (note, I have since seen that these phone can come with the mod pre-installed.
I have downloaded ZUK Z1 packages from cyngn.com / support, but they don't tell you what is what.
Once I managed to get the phone into recovery mode, and wiped the phone the next step was to install the update, which I guessed was - cm-12.1-YOG4PAS3OH-ham-signed.zip, however the recovery menu is looking for update.zip, so I changed the name of the file, tried again, but it keeps failing. Also I wasn't able to load the recovery image, which I am thinking is part of my issue.
For those of you that may offer assistance out there, I am a novice user and just want the phone a bit more user friendly as opposed to the way it came out of the box with its pre-installed apps.
Your assistance would be gratefully appreciated.
Regards
Peter
Install TWRP at first and flash the zip in TWRP .
It's better to read first and then take action,specially as a novice user.

Hello all together,
I've got a huge problem: My tablet is stuck in a boot loop, it shows the boot animation and the Nvidia tegra logo alternating and does not go beyond it.
And that's what happened:
- I couldn't install OTA2.5 since I deleted some system apps and couldn't restore them with titanium
- so I changed the update-script within the update.zip , so that some patches were neither checked nor applied
- I forgot to delete the commands concerning the install-recovery (that was the mistake)
- so after applying the update via CWR, it started booting, but got stuck.
- I thought I could restore an image with CWR, but during boot, the old android recovery was restored
- I already tried a cache wipe / factory reset, but neither does help to get out of the boot loop
Does anybody have an idea what to do?
here are my ideas:
- write a new update-script to get CWR back (probably won't work since the recovery checks the zip-signature)
- find a way to restore the original lenovo ROM (is there a signed version which I could use?)
- send it to lenovo (do I have any chance that they flash the original rom?)
I'd be really happy if anybody has an idea what to do.
Thanks, lump
I think it could be send to Lenovo.
Just said that you got problem during OTA 2.5 (not enough battery or something else) and you got bootloop.
The problem is in deleting some neccessery apps. Download OTA again from Lenovo server manually and install it with original ie. installed recovery.
Thank you for your advice, I think I will try to send it back to Lenovo.
I already tried installing the OTA2.5 update manually, but it aborts during the assert tests, since some apps are missing.
Does anybody know, if the ICS update will be incremental as the OTA updates before? If not, it might be possible to install it.
You could send a pm to bsnf, Mark_Lenovo, or someotherguy at the Lenovo forums and ask if they would please send you the full system image for your tablet. They might be willing to help, that is your best shot without sending it back.
Hello, i will try to be as elaborate as I can cause I know you guys here are really knowledgeable when it comes to smartphones. So, here are the issues I am currently experiencing with my G900F phone. Just a background, everything in my phone is stock (rom, recovery, kernel) no changes done yet. It currently runs MM with a security patch of February 2017. As of now, I can't boot into the phone.
1. . I was able to successfully root it with CF auto root.
2. I started experiencing random restarts. I tried obtaining the last kmsg however it does not exist.
3. I tried flashing a new ROM thinking maybe there is some rare bug in the stock rom i currently have. I flashed TWRP via Odin, to be able to flash a new ROM. Odin successfully flashed the recovery however when i proceed to install a new ROM through TWRP the phone gets stuck in a bootloop. I do not experience this in the stock recovery
4. I was able to restore the phone through Smart Switch device intialisation. However, with everything stock I still experience the random reboots.
Bottomline: Is there anyway I can fix this on the software side (e.g. flash/update this or that)? And if not, do you think this is a hardware problem? Worth mentioning it's got a yellow screen bug but if i press hard on the back of the phone it disappears. Also, I can boot into stock recovery and download mode without any problems.
Thanks and sorry for the long post really need your insights.
Sorry you are having issues. I apologize if I missed this, but have you tried downloading the official firmware for your device from sammobile or similar sites, then flash that through Odin?

Current state of my problem -- STUCK in a screen at Drive Screen "an empty modal opens" Also looking for -- OnePlus 5 OxygenOS 4.5.15 rom --
OP5 EUROPE (if this helps to know what kind of phone I got, I know there are some differences in countries, dont know if it happens with OP specifically)
Currently trying to fix this using:
twrp-3.2.1-0
OnePlus5 Oxygen 4.5.15
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After reading plenty of other Threads with similar problems, I am clueless of whatelse to do but to exhibit how I disgraced my phone in hopes for somebody to help me.
I know I am 100% guilty of all that happened but I still somehow hope to get help.
Now the proper what happened.
After the purchase of some apps that seemed to encourage me to root my phone from Android Store, to get more features, I decided to give it a go.
So I got myself:
twrp-3.1.1-0
The Rom from Cyanogen
SuperSu v2.79-20
Granted myself access to booting and usb debugging after becoming a developer (granted by the university of tap your phone screen like a monkey smashing buttons, I figure this is even an inside joke from actual Devs)
I followed a tutorial that said next thing was installing twrp and stuffing my rom and my super su in my phone after rooting it, here is when things turn dark after installing the rom.
I saw my data was wiped and thought I had erased its memory, and instead of just putting back the things that I had to install I clicked on another tutorial of a had that had a similar problem (I can provide links later if requested).
In this tutorial the person, said that I should go to Advanced Settings -- WIPE and try and reformat my SYSTEM and my DATA, (heres when I wish my future-self would have come and stopped me because after this it all spiraled into madness)
After this happened my phone said I had no OS, so I didnt know what to do, I had no idea, I tried recovery mode but there was nothing to recover.. , I tried plenty of things really. reformating, downloading more ROMS , when I tried to install any of this Roms a new surprise awaited for me, my phone didnt know it was a OnePlus5 anymore it decided asume a misterious identity now he was " " instead.
I googled this, and a guy had a work around in wich I had to go into the rom and into the META-INF --COM -- google -- android -- updater-script
and inside this very archive delete the script that validated wich phone I had, this solution wouldnt work with any rom I had because they all said "updating the img was unsuccesful" at this point I was asking myself only one thing "WHAT IMAGE?!?!" a second ago there was no OS at all and now there was an image to update?.
I kept trying roms until one worked the stable official version, now I managed to install the rom rebooted, to find that the OS seems to have been installed, but.. when I introduce my pin things begin guetting funny again...
My SIM doesnt seem to be recognized its called "Slot 2" and when I enter the pin it and "SWIPE UP" as the phone suggests it gets stuck at a panel called "Drive".
I am guessing I am having an issue with the drivers but this is only a guess, I really have no Idea how to fix this, I tried to look up if somebody else was strugging with a FREEZE at DRIVE.
but it seems that nobody else fell into the spiral of foolishness I did, please help me find a way into a solution.
When I try to recover from the phone and install from "internal storage" doesnt allows me as there was no such thing.
use codeworkx twrp
Use a Keurig and just breathe
try flashing a twrp recovery. then boot to recovery. then push via adb a recent oneplus rom. then install the rom. then reboot to system and see if it is working.
G'day all,
Hoping someone can help. (firstly I've searched on here over and over and some things have really helped, but can't find this issues on here)
Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9505 (originally with Vodafone rom)
Back story, I managed to put google rom via WINTEAM at some point in time (I don't recall how I did this now) this file - crdroid-6.0.0-20151208-jfltexx.zip (I still have this but not a md5 file)
Anyway, I wiped it under settings and basically stuffed it right up. Loops on WINTEAM (this part I had found in search and downloaded Odin3 v3.13) and Samsung Rom and a couple of others.
I9505XXUHOJ3_I9505VAUHOJ1_I9505XXUHOJ3_HOME.tar.md5
I9505XXUHQK1_I9505MAXHQK1_I9505XXUHQK1_HOME.tar.md5
I9505XXUHOL3_I9505TELHOL2_I9505XXUHOL3_HOME.tar.md5
CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5
The last one actually fixed up the google install but was hoping to place the original Samsung ROM back on and now it doesn't help at all when I run again.
The top 3 are Vodafone, Telstra and Max a forum had suggested (from a page on here somewhere). All of these say pass in Odin3 when installing onto phone. But once it gets to the Samsung with what looks like dots shooting out from the word it never gets past this at all.
When I power up the S4 phone, to get to download screen. I have volume up to download or volume down to restart phone. Some places I've read say to select wipe, I don' t have this option at all.
I saw an option to install s8 rom to s4 which I would like to do, but the how to do that requires working software first and install TWRN or something like that.
I'm not sure if this will run fast or ok on this phone, but it isn't a MD5 file either.
I would like Samsung ROM back on as it (for me cleaner than google or maybe just what I've been used to). I'd like to give to my youngest child as their first phone.
I also had tried to place zip files and also unzipped files on the SD card on the phone, nothing worked for me as it looks like it is expected ODIN3 to work.
At this stage of the day, I would just like to have it functioning again with anything that works.
Any advice on what to do now would be greatly appreciated, also I'm truly sorry if this problem has been documented, I really did try to do my research first before putting this up here. I've been on this for weeks now
So quick update. through more research, I have managed to install TWRP and now have access to additional utilities through WINTEAM. I've now tried to install ROM through the Micro SD card.
I think it comes up with a mount error, but has rebooted and still stuck so can confirm just yet.
I've managed to go through the entire process of installing the PurifieD+ROM+v3.5.zip through the micro SD card in the phone. Asked me about all the options etc during the install. There didn't appear to be any errors at all. Asked to reboot. etc....
I even had sound on the bootup, Now I have the Samsung word on the main screen with a blue backlight just flashing. Been like that for nearly 10 minutes. Not looking good.
Have I got bad memory or am I doing something wrong?
I managed to do a wipe after I did an install and it booted up find. I had no WiFi but than installed the vodafone install that should be the original and all works now.
The amount of time I had been working on this, I really didn't think I was going to get it going. I honestly thought I had some hardware error going on.
In the end it runs now, I can setup and had to my child
so I've managed to now use several different ROMs but now I can't root the phone (it should be able to, has been before)
When I run Motochopper I get this error
error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported.
Seems to happen no matter what rom I've installed. I can't seem to find an older rom running android version 5.01 now
Any help on how to root this. Would be great
Now says it has been rooted, but I do not get the teamwin boot menu option at all. more like just a text style menu for wiping and loading other roms.
Hi!
(Note: Please skip to the third paragraph if you don't want to read my entire useless lifestory lol)
So... Around September-ish 2022 I got an S5 Neo that was previously owned by a good friend of mine, she gave it to me because she didn't need it anymore and I was stuck without a phone for a while because my daily (iPhone 6S) was tragically killed after I accidently dropped in the sea.
Anyways, the S5 Neo I got had Lineage OS 18.1 (Android 11) on it and it was really nice to use thanks to how light that ROM was, fast forward to January 2023 and I got a new phone to replace the dead 6S of mine and the stopgap S5 Neo, but I decided to still use the S5 Neo every now and then as a secondary phone or a testing phone, for custom ROM's, recoveries, and that kind of fun stuff. I successfully installed the latest stock software it supported and tried a few things I wanted to try, like the camera for example, I wanted to see if the camera would be better on the stock Android compared to Lineage OS, etc.
But after I installed the stock software for the S5 Neo I was unable to revert back to LineageOS due to my lack of knowledge with how this all works, I assume I got the "revert to original software" part right because it's a simple "Download Odin, download the software for your phone, put it in download mode, boom it's done", but every time I tried it with LineageOS it doesn't want to work.
My main issue is trying to install TWRP or Lineage Recovery using Odin, I tried to be fast, tried the remove battery trick, the hold power button for 10 seconds then hold buttons for recovery when out of download mode, I tried everything, can someome please help?
The problem I am facing is that when I hold the buttons to go into recovery when it's in download mode when the recovery is successfully loaded, it doesn't go into recovery, and when I remove the battery and install it again and press buttons to go to recovery (A guide I read said that) it just got stuck on the flashscreen forever (Not bootloop, just "Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo" flashscreen stuck), and only got unstuck when I removed the battery again or went into download mode and said no, restarting the device, and at which point I think I have the original OS still but actually funnily enough no recovery whatsoever, not the normal one or the TWRP recovery, so yeah I really need help
I am open to any suggestions for methods that are simpler for a noob to me to go through to install a custom ROM, my goal is to install LineageOS, not to install TWRP. Thanks!!!

I would just follow the official installation instructions. Read through them once before you follow them and you should be fine. Let me know if you have any questions regarding flashing it (Don't worry, I remember my first flashing ).
