Dear friends of xda,
let me say something first. i'm a possessor of a brand new zuk z1 since a week. from day 1 i've rooted it with kingroot and then switched to SuperSu because i didn't succed installing adb drivers on my laptop.
so i'm stock. no custom recovery no unblocked bootloader, just root permissions.
a week went by with no problem. just a couple of freeze here and there. nothing much.
today i was playing on my bed and suddenly the phone got really really hot. everything is frozen. i can only drag down the status bar. but if i press some icon or button nothing happpen. Ok i'm like well another freeze. i press and hold power button. screen get black. phone vibrate. aaaaaaaand i'm stuck at zuk screen. really?
after searching the web i tried to enter in recovery mode. after many tries i succed. so i tried to do a factory reset. it asked me if i'm sure, as i press yes the screen goes black for a while and then the phone reboot in recovery again. mmm strange. so i tried to wipe cache. it happen the same as before. it did not even asked me if i was sure. so i pressed 'power off' thinking that a real boot would repair the situation but no. my phone decided to self brick. ok. i throw in the towel.
so i decided to plug the charger in and went to do stuff.
when i come back home 3 hours later. i softly press the power button and the phone says it is at 99% . i tried to boot it up. and guess what? it boots normally. like nothing never happened.
so. what do you think is happened? i've some background but i've never seen something like this.
could be a problem of overheating? what should i do now? and what if it happens again?
sorry for the wall of text.
tl;dr: rooted phone get really hot. freeze. and after powering it off went in bootloop. nothing could be done in stock recovery. after some hour it booted up normally. what to do now?

So i have bought my phone about 3 months ago. All have worked well, but a couple off days ago, it have had some problems.
It sayed 2-3 days trebuchet process have stopped and process.android.process.media has stopped. The only solution when this came i had to restart the device. I tried yesterday a factory reset but it didnt work.
Yesterday evening it did again the process stopps and then i tried to restart my phone. But when it shut down it dosent anymore go on. Now it dosent react to anything, not the normal powerbutton and not even the powerbutton + volume -. I havent rooted the device. So is there anything i could anymore do or should i just send it to warranty repair?
Im very desperate, thanks for all the help. But if you have an solution can you write it step by step, im not so experienced in smartphones.
Now i got the phone to restart but when it start it says over and over again that trebuchet has stopped. What can i do to this problem?
Edit: And now its stucked in the Zuk start screen. Dam im getting frustated...
Enter in recovery mode and do a factory/cache wipe
Have you installed any themes? Because some cm13 compatible themes cause system ui crashing
Hello, havent installed any themes. How do i get to recovery mode?
If the recovery mode is volume up and power button. This neither works, its still dead. Dosent even vibrate when pressing power button long.
Power on the phone , when you hear the vibration and the zuk logo appears , press both volume buttons, this should let you boot in the recovery
What happens if you connect the fone to charger?
But the phone dosent power on. So i cant do that. And no, the battery is not dead.
Ok, if you cant boot it, the last thing is warranty , where have you bought your device?
I could boot it today on the morning 1 time but then it again died and now its totally dead. I bought it thru tomtop, have put a message to the seller already. Lets se what they answer.
Ok, hope the seller will answer you , continue trying to boot it .
Let me know if wou solve it ��
Yeah the seller answered that i get a new device. But then on tuesday i tried a last boot, and it got alive again! I did the factory reset and now the phone has worked perfectly after that [emoji106]
But now the trebuchet keeps stopping and after that all the processes i have open. So now i changed to Nova launcher, i hope it would solve the problem.
Glad to know you solved the problem
Trebuchet problemi shoul be solved with marsmallow update.

Yeah it was solved like 5 days. Now the apps started to crash again :crying: And now the f***** phone dosent even start. Its just stuck in the Zuk powered by android start screen. Is there something i could do? I dont think the factory reset would help in long term beacause it didnt help the last time. Or should i just send the phone to the seller and request for a new one?
Edit: And now the factory reset dosent even work. When i try to reboot it after Factory reset its stuck on the Cyanogen start screen, so i think my last option is to ship the phone to the seller and hope i get a new device.
Edit2: And now after a second factory reset the phone started to work again. What can cause this type of meltdown? Could it be somekind of hardware problem or is it a software problem?
The Best solution is to change the device if you can, because you're not sure if it will work in the future.
So basically this rom is awesome but it had only one problem. When I plugged my phone in the charger while it was turned off, it bootlooped until I restarted with the cable off. It was no big deal and nothing bad ever came out of it.
Yesterday my batter ran out while I was asleep and when I woke up it was already turned off. I, absentmindly, tried to turn it on, LG Logo, off again. Did it one more time, nothing happened, realized it's out of battery. Plugged in charger, try to turn it off/on, usual bootloop happens. Say ok and proceed with what I always did, phone gets past LG Logo, goes into SlimLP boot animation and for the first it has just stayed there. No restarts, just endless loading. Longest i Left it on to load was about 45 minutes. Never got back on.
Apart from that, I think that for some reason my recovery got uninstalled somehow, by itself, a few weeks ago. I only noticed this because before, when I wanted to get into recovery, I pressed the usual buttons and it went straight into TWRP. Now the same buttons take me to the "Factory reset screen". I know that everyone says to just go ahead and press power, but I am afraid, since I am not sure if TWRP is still functioning. This happened to me another time on the same phone, and when I confirmed the factory reset, it factory resetted.
My problem here is that I want to get my music and photos. I'm only able to enter that factory reset screen and download mode. Can I "flash" twrp safely from download mode? Should I use Flash Tool 2014 and Normal flash(which says it keeps the data) a stock g2 rom? Can I mount my phone to the computer in download mode to copy my files? I want the most risk-free approach.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, first If you can enter download mode I think you can flash kdz (Kitkat) file to stock using Flash Tool 2014. But I had this problem once and the keep data flashing didn't work (stucked at 50%), I ended up flashed it with other option (erased all data).
2. You can try the "Factory reset" nice and easy.
I think you can't see files on the device unless you enter Twrp.
It's wise to backup your phone on the computer montly or so, thank you.
I went ahead and nuked my download mode using the SRK tools. Then got access to fastboot, through which I booted to twrp and then I could move my files. All's fine, flashed my ROM again and it's going better than ever.
Okay so yesterday morning my phone was working fine. ..it died which is whatever it happens, but when I turned it back on,it stays stuck at the metro screen. I have done the volume, home, power button thing but nada...my main question is what could have caused this in the first place? Fine one hour,a [email protected]#$× the next! I'm getting frustrated, help please! !!!!
Maybe try Odin flashing firmware at first? Or if you can go to recovery menu from adb or pressing buttons, you could try factory resetting first.
Yesterday I've received a notification about the new version of Magisk Manager, clicked "install", the installation process has started, there was a warning "Boot partition space insufficient" (it used to be before I guess). The phone went to reboot, but turned off instead (or just screen off?). I holded the power button, but the phone did not turn on, pressed a combo of buttons, the phone turned on and got into endless boot (got stuck on logo). I rebooted it with buttons again and enter into TWRP, charge level was 68%. So decided to Wipe it, but after a few seconds the touch screen stopped responding so I couldn't. Tried twice, the same issue. Decided to reflash the firmware, turned the phone off via Power Off in TWRP, after that the phone stopped turning on (completely!). Does not react at all. Not charging, no leds, no vibro.. completely nothing. Seem to be hard bricked or even dead, don't understand why.
Update: no drops, no heats, no water.
I guess it's dead on flashing Magisk, not Manager, but I am not 100% sure.
but why touch stopped working? it might be a hardware problem and soft is jist a coincidence

I really have no clue why. Each time I tried to reboot and enter into TWRP, the touch was working for the first X seconds, 5 maybe... the strange thing is the phone was cold at the time.
ok
i've been usign whatsapp and suddenly my phone went into bootloop,
tried to enter fastboot, recovery
but he keeps on boot-looping after 2-3 sec of showing the fastboot-recovery icon.
i tried disconnecting the phone-battery-motherboard-etc, but he keeps going boot-loop, showing the first load screen, black screen, and so on and forth
any suggestions? never occured to me before , only after unsuccessful flashing, but like this? this is really weird.
i have a custom rom yes, but with it for a few months already , 0 problems.
p.s my phone fell on the floor few days ago, but had no problem since whatsoever
any clues on how to solve this?
i can't even get to flash via fastboot/recovery because it restarts when im there..
what could be the problem? the only thing pops into my head is that the restart key is pressed all the time, but is it possible?
I had the same problem, crazy thing. I couldn't even enter orange fox, got to the loading screen and got another reboot. I pressed power button fast many times and then worked. The power button seemed to be ok. The only thing that i had recently changed was the EAS version of the predator kernel. It may not make sense but i went back to HMP and now it's fine.
well! it worked lol
what is HMP? a kernel?
A type of kernel, the common one. Now i know that was not the reason!
Hello
I have the same problem as you and if someone has a solution, I will be very grateful !
I can use my phone but if I push to the power Button, it bootloop.
