Return to stock - Zuk Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to sell the phone on - which I'm a bit sad about, as I quite liked this one !
I've downloaded the stock ROM for CyanogenOS.(two versions, one is fastboot)
How do I return this phone properly to stock - with the ZUK boot logo, I'm guessing that it doesn't really matter if it's rooted or the bootloader is unlocked as it doesn't warn on these things - but I'm guessing I need the stock recovery and make sure it can get OTA updates??
I've looked and I don't see a guide on this??

Anyone wanting to know how to do this:

Personally, in the end I went for a CM13.1 stable snapshot.

I used the tool and get back to stock but when i installed whatsapp it said you have custom rom. why is it?

Never heard of that, but can you provide the exact error message or a screenshot? Whatsapp runs on every rom I know...

Have you root or locked bootloader on stock rom?

I don't know why it's showing you this when you've installed stock rom/firmware. But did you have root or unlocked bootloader?

i9500 can't install recovery (Fixed)

Hi everyone. I was using my phone with stock rom for a while ans I wanted to pass to Miui cuz I heard 4.4.2 will be released soon.
I downloaded TWRP and tried to flash as I did everytime before with Odin. I flashed it and it rebooted, odin showed Pass with no errors, but when I tried to launch the recovery, it is still stock. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I flashed it like this before and they always worked but this is not working. Is there another way to install this? I don't have root access but it wasn't an issue before. I have the usb drivers installed and debugging on. It was tricky to install drivers on Win 8.1 but it seems like installed correctly as it didn't showed an error.
Waiting for an answer please. I hate this exynos phone but my parents just not allowing me to sell this.

Nope. It still opens up the stock recovery. Anymore solutions?
You tried to install one in the stock recovery? A zip file of the Recovery?

I tried installing Miui in the stock rom but it didn't work. Perhaps the last updates did something? Cuz I was able to do this with ease. Maybe downgrading to the first stock 4.4.2 will work but it takes a lot of time and I'm sick of this. Thanks anyway, I'll boost your thanks meter by one more for trying to help

The rom you are currently on has nothing to do with your inability to flash the recovery. It's a completely different thing.
Uncheck auto-reboot before you flash the recovery. That should probably fix it.

You can maybe look for the latest official firmware from samsung and flash it. And after that try again the recovery. Here the Link: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/

Is root attainable on the D800's official lollipop update?

So, I'm currently running cloudyg2 2.2, and I'm thinking about downgrading back to stock and then taking the OTA to lollipop, but I haven't heard anyone mention if it is possible to retain root through the update process, or to obtain root afterwards. It'd be great if there was a flashable zip, but I don't know if that's possible at the moment.
You can get root again. Its a script in the development forum.
If you do this can you make a twrp backup of the stock lollipop rom and upload it? (since you'll essentially be pure stock anyway).
I'll buy you a beer
I see a link for a tool you use while connected to a computer, but does stump root still work?

No, all on-device roots are patched with Lollipop (unless you have a custom recovery, which is unobtainable on stock lollipop for the d800 as far as I know)
Use the one that requires PC. If you run into issues, pm me or reply to me on this thread.

root is easy, and ill confirm about bump recovery in 30 mins, charging phone for any re flashing required.
recovery is good to go now autorec for specific model at playstore.
Please upload flashable zip of this official AT&T lollipop.

I'd assume you could just use a kdz to go back.
So.. no recovery as of yet on official Lollipop am I right?
Keeping that in mind, is it worth the update? Is it smoother/better?
I know this can be asked in any of the other threads, but I'm asking here with respect to its worth when compared to losing Custom Recovery.

XT1601 Stock Firmware - Will any XT1601 rom work?

Hello,
I want to try some custom roms as I just picked up this phone but want a stock rom/firmware before I do. I could not find the exact stock firmware/rom which my phone is on when looking through the File Factory folder. (http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27/?sort=filename&order=ASC&show=100&page=9)
Will any XT1601 rom/firmware with the same build number work?
My phone is an XT1601 on build MPI24.241-15.3, Baseband Version M8916_20250106.08.05.14R HARPIA_LATAM_CUST.
Would the following work? Will I receive OTA updates if I flash back to this at a later point?
XT1601_HARPIA_MPI24.241-15.3_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
Thanks in advance and please let me know if I need to provide any further info!

There is a download-able stock rom for xt1601. So you can always flash back to that stock after trying some custom roms.
I did mine (tried AOKP and flashed back to stock). I was able to receive OTA too.
I have no way near my pc so cannot get link to xt1601 stock and copy here. Trust that if you do a search you can find it.

I am current out of the country now so could not help. I don't want to risk the phone to flash stock of other variations.

Welcome to XDA!!
To install custom ROM, you will need to have a S-OFFed device to do so. S-OFFing need hardware tools, and it cost money. XTC2Clip and FireWater are the two known S-OFF tools that work on D820 for now.

If so, why dont you ask that guy from The Mainland forum, he should be the most well known of his own ROM.
Afaik, without S-OFF you can hardly do any modification to the system.

Yes, you can search the web with your phone's CID and download the corresponding fw, after that rename the zip according to your phone MID, and place it onto your external SD Card, then boot into bootloader. The fw should be automatically flashed then.

I will try your method but firsr I have a question: If i restart my phone I get a message on my screen that my phone is unlocked and can't be trusted. So that means my bootloader is already unlocked and I don't have to unlock it again? So I only have to flash revolution recovery and find the file in firnware finder?
Is there a instruction how to install revolution recovery and where to find the file...?
