Hi,
Im new to this forum,
I recently went india for a holiday, from the UK, and my zuk z1 was fine, however a few days in, my phone would randomly reboot and go to the "android is upgrading, app "x" of "x"" for about 10 mins, just a random reboot.
on the day of the failure, my phone rebooted when i tried to receive a Bluetooth file, and as soon as i pressed accept it rebooted, and went to the android is upgrading page. as soon as the app number neared the total number of apps it restarted, and kept doing the same till the battery died. i charged it and turned it on, and it got stuck on the Zuk boot logo, thats it, nothing further. i was then left phoneless for the rest of the trip.
any help on how to fix this would be appreciated.
Thanks
Hi.
If you have unlocked bootloader and flashed twrp.. Try this.
Go to twrp by pressing vol up + vol down and pressing power button.
You will open in twrp.
(a) restore if you have any backup.
(b) flash rom and gapps from internal storage if you have any copy of them.
(c) Push rom and gapps by usb pendrive or adb sideload.
Flash rom and gapps.
*if you are flashing rom and gapps,better wipe data>advanced wipe> everything except internal and usb otg.
* tour pics and videos from the trip are in internal storage.. Don't wipe it.. Repeat don't wipe it or you will lose them.
If you don't have twrp..
Sorry, but I am not knowledgeable enough to answer this.
Hope this helps.

Download latest original stock rom from and flash it via stock recovery.

you can use USB OTG to flash CM Nightly! As u are saying u have Cm Recovery u can try flashing cm 13 using OTG
so i just doing a clean install of the beta 3 rom, i did follow the instruction that written in the thread but some how after installing the update when i'm about to reboot into system it keeps rebooting into the recovery. so i decided to clean wipe and re-flash the rom, and some how it says that there's no rom installed. i've tried to install other custom rom like, LOS 15 and Liquid Remix, but it's still the same, keep booting to recovery and showing that there's no rom installed. plz help...
Go to twrp > wipe > format data > yes
Then transfer oos OB 3 to your phone, use adb push command is better than copy paste(not sure why because sometimes i copy pasted into phone, sometime it bootloop or storage not recognised)
Flash it, then flash magisk 15.2. then reboot. It should work fine. Unless you use a not compatible twrp version.
thanks for ur solution before, but can u tell me the compatible twrp is, cuz i'm using the twrp 3.2.1 by blu spark and it keeps booting into recovery
You need to flash no verity zip. If you are decrypted.
"You need to flash no verity zip. If you are decrypted. "
Thanks god for this comment, use about 2 hours digging around forums and re-flashing, wiping, trying diffrent TWRPs, different roms. And when I found this comment I just isntalled the zip and it worked within 10 seconds.
Hi,
I need some expert advise on installing Lineage OS 14 or 15 in my ZE550KL. A little background about my phone. It always got the ASDF error..unable to mount error when trying to upgrade firmware. I always have to revert to the 1531 firmware and then upgrade to the latest firmware. Since the phone is now past its prime, I felt like experimenting with new ROMs. But whatever OS I install with TWRP, it always gets stuck in the first boot. The Lineage or the other OS boot animation never stops. I have probably done 5-8 installs of Lineage OS, each time trying something new, however I always got stuck with the boot up animation. I have tried installing with different versions of TWRP, deleted Dalvik after installing, deleted everything except external SD card before installing Lineage, installed different versions of Gapps, not installed GAPPs at all and just rebooted with Lineage installed. I have tried different versions of Lineage OS. Whatever I did, the phone always got stuck during the first boot up. I have observed the boot up animation after each installation, and every time waited for at least 30 mins to 1 hour and saw nothing happening, except the Lineage bootup animation. Please help.

Any assistance will be appreciated. Let me know if I have posted in a wrong thread.
Hi I'm not an expert, but try this following steps I hope it works.
1.) Remove your sdcard
2.) backup everything in Internal Memory
3.) download the latest TWRP recovery @ twrp.me
4.) install flash it to your recovery partition.
5.) goto advance wipe then do an advance partition repair
# perform repair at this Mount points
# /system
# /cache
# /data
# /dalvik-cache
# /ASDF
6.) reboot again to recovery (not necessary)
7.) perform a clean install on your desired rom.
7.5) goto advance settings and copy logs.
8.) reboot simultaneously with this command
8.5) open cmd/terminal and run adb logcat > {YOUR_PATH}/logcat.log e.g.
9.) pray it works.
If its still unsuccessful,
Paste your logs here for those who might get interested in your case. They can't help you if they don't know what is happening inside.

Thanks for the respinse. Will try these steps and post logs
Hey guys,
I recently flashed Omnirom and after doing so, noticed I had no signal. After flash, reboot, or resetting Network/Data settings, I'll have data for about 20-30 seconds. I can browse the web, but I can't send or receive calls or messages. Then it goes away completely. It sporadically returns, but drops again quickly.
Carrier is Verizon. My Sim card is still being read so the issue doesn't seem to be there. I've put it back in my Pixel 2 and it's working fine.
At a high level, this is what I've done over the past 12 hours:
1. My bootloader is unlocked. I flashed a new ROM and then it wouldn't boot.
2. I did a Factory reset through Recovery and then it booted into the ROM, where I noticed I had no signal
--Possibly an issue here? This factory reset wasn't done thru TWRP, but the stock(?) recovery. I noticed that after doing this, it wiped everything on my phone, including my Nandroid backups
3. I did another factory reset, still no service
4. I moved sim card from Sim Slot 2 to Sim slot 1, temporarily restored service. Then dropped.
5. I flashed OOS 9.0.12 back, service came back temporarily, then dropped
6. I did a network reset, restored service temporarily, then dropped
7. I reflashed modem, system, and vendor images
Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? Otherwise, I'm probably going to send my phone back to OnePlus for repair.
Try restoring through the msm tool.

Have you wiped the cache?
It's not a hardware issue.

I would also try the MSM tool to restore back to stock. Then reflash what you want for a ROM.

Thanks guys. Using MSM worked.
For those who may have the same issue, I used MSM to go back to 9.0.11 since a few people said they had issues with 9.0.12 such as not being able to unlock it. I restored 9.0.11, unlocked my device, then flashed the 9.0.12 OTA. Issue stayed resolved.
I did try to flash Omnirom again and the issue came back, so I'm curious as to what's happening. I'm going to try another Rom.
Just an update, this seems to happen with any rom I flash now. I tried Omnirom, Pixel Experience, and Syberia OS. They boot up but with no 4g connection. When I use MSM to go back to 9.0.11 or 9.0.12 everything works properly. Not sure what I may be missing?
Out of curiosity, how are you installing your custom ROMs. I have installed quite a few custom ROMs in the last week or so and have not encountered any issues. I use a USB pendrive with an OTG adapter to install my stuff as the phone normally ends up in an encrypted state so the internal storage will not be accessible when booting into TWRP. Here are the steps I use when installing a custom ROM:
01. Boot into TWRP
02. Wipe, then swipe. You can choose to Format Data if you want, but this will erase your internal storage so you will lose your recent pictures and other media.
03. Install full OOS 9.0.11/9.0.12 depending on which version is required for the custom ROM and install TWRP also.
04. Reboot recovery.
05. Install full OOS 9.0.11/9.0.12 and TWRP again to ensure both slots have OOS install on it. Use the same version you installed in step 3.
06. Reboot recovery.
07. Install your custom ROM and TWRP.
08. Reboot recovery.
09. Wipe, then swipe (Do not format; unsure if this makes a difference).
10. Install GApps if needed (ROM dependent) and optionally install Magisk and a custom kernel.
11. Reboot system and then wait to setup the phone.
As stated, this has worked flawlessly for me and I have not run into any issues. Admittedly, I have not tried Omnirom directly, but I have tried Omnirom Treskmod (not available on XDA) and SkyDragon which are both based on Omnirom and did not have issues with either. I have tried maybe 10 different custom ROMs in the last week on so and have not had any problems. Still trying to find the best ROM for me. You could say that I'm a flashaholic.
I hope this helps.

Because I had erased all data on my phone, I was doing mostly everything from Fastboot or ADB Sideload in TWRP. So my previous steps were something like this:
1. Use MSM to restore OOS 9.0.11
2. Unlock Bootloader
3. Fastboot to TWRP 3.3.0.2
4. Install TWRP on both slots (ADB Sideload)
5. Reboot Recovery
6. Install 9.0.12 on both slots (ADB Sideload)
7. Install TWRP (ADB Sideload)
8. Reboot System to verify I have signal
9. Reboot Recovery
10. Install custom ROM and TWRP (ADB Sideload)
11. Format Data through TWRP
12. Reboot System (No signal)
I had also noticed that there was some system app or process that was repeatedly crashing, but I couldn't tell what it was because the popup notification would disappear so quickly.

I didn't notice any popups when setting up my device. The only thing I can say is that VoLTE never used to work properly for me on OOS. I had to edit a setting in serial mode to get VoLTE working on my network in the UK. Not sure if it is related at all. I highly doubt it. I noticed in your steps, you have not flashed GApps. I believe most custom ROMs don't contain GApps, only a select few. Is there a reason you are not flashing GApps? I know there are individuals who want to stay away from Google and use Micro-G as an alternative. I believe the minimum is to flash Pico or Nano GApps. I am not sure if there is possibly something in GApps that is related to data and telephony. The notification popup you are getting may also be related to not having GApps. I install the Nano GApps so I can get face unlock working. Maybe try that and then try installing Magisk after if you still have the same issues. You are rebooting the system in your Step 12. Maybe try and reboot recovery first, then reboot system to keep TWRP intact. You could try the steps that I posted. I use a USB pendrive but if you Format Data to clear your internal storage, it should not be encrypted after unless you reboot into OOS beforehand. You should be able to push files directly to internal storage through ADB in TWRP or you can maybe mount the phone on the computer and copy the files across. These are only suggestions. I haven't had the issues you are having but the steps I listed seem to have worked consistently for my. As a note, I have never had to use the MSMTool to get my phone back up and running again. I have used fastboot mode before though.
I hope this helps.

Not sure if it helps, but you are doing too many repeated steps. Skip 4 & 5, Format Data before installing 9.0.12. Skip 11. Why are you installing TWRP so many times?

I had tried flashing GAPPs (ARM64-Nano) and it didn't seem to make a difference. I was skipping that and flashing Magisk just to confirm if I had service first. But would service/signal be dependent on something in GAPPs? I may try your way. I hadn't run into any issues with encrypted storage lately. The last few times I was able to get around it by booting to system first, then rebooting back to recovery.

Can you still boot into twrp?
If yes then download the rom file (lineageos) to your PC and then plug your phone into PC and move the lineage zip to your SD card.
Reboot the phone to twrp and do all the wipes (system, data, internal, dalvik and cache) and then install the rom zip
