[Guide] Install official ROM and Google Playstore - ZTE Nubia Z17 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hello,
I found a tutorial on how to install the google playstore on the Nubia Z17. It's to long to repeat it here. Anyway for me it worked. I first unlocked bootloader, then I installed the official ROM V2.44 and Open Gapps. After that playstore works until you reboot. To get it working there is a small workaround that takes only 1-2 Minutes and includes activating the airplane mode. Unfortunatly you have to do it every time you reboot your device. The good news is that the Google Playstore finally works. You can find the tutorial here:
https://www.china-phone.net/nubia-z17-playstore.html
Hope this helps other Nubia Z17 Users too

My phone is working normal.
1. Reinstall the original ROM 2.44
2. Unlock bootloader and install TWRP
3. Root the phone
5. Install Open Gapps Arm64 7.1 Full
6. The phone restart and do the Factory Reset
7. Open Google Play and insert your Google account. It will take several minutes for Google to work.
8. Press the circle-home button to start multi task. Pull down the Google Play until you see 'lock icon'.
9. You're done
Note: when your Google stop working, just go to Flight Mode for 1-2 minute and try to authenticate again.
Always keep your Google running by lock it on multi tasking.

This doesn't work for me either. It's also a different tutorial than the first post.

Hello, thanks you for tutorial, this works for me too. But I have got a problem with Google apps which are not included in zip. I am user of Google Analytics and Google Adsense apps and if I want to login into these apps, it shows that Google Play Services has some problem and cant load my account. I already deleted apps data but it still doesnt work. Can someone help me please? Thank you guys.

Some aspects of Google apps still have bugs. For me, Google Calendar doesn't work and Photos doesn't sync. For full function we'll just have to be patient (or try a custom ROM maybe)

Yes it is true with same problem I have. What you need to do is to find a Gapps package including Google apps you need.

I have a problem when I open Gmail. The message shows that com.google.android.gm.MailMigrationApplication cannot access Google Play Service, and ask me to retry. Although Gmail works fine, but this message comes out every time when I start Gmail. Is there any solution to resolve it?
Thank you.

Hi gyus, new update for Nubia Z17 is out - V2.48. I tried to update but it didnt pass. When I hit update, it ends in main page of TWRP recovery. Thanks for suggestions.

I tried today and i found that after updating to 2.48 we should do clean install after unlock botloader, root and installing gapps. If not the google play wont be working properly.

Can I install version 2.44?I have an unofficial "ENG".
Download package 2.44 update, I put it on a pen drive and then Choose Update Package? Or should I install it through TWRP?

Hi,
Yes I'm a newbie... We have to begin one day
I just received the phone.
After the first power on (plugged) and Wifi connection, the phone automatically did two updates :
original (2.39 ?) to 2.44
2.44 to 2.48.
When I bought the phone, it was mentioned that gaps are not available at that moment (GeekBuying)
Now, they do not mention this limitation on their web site (and the price goes lower )
Is there a new "international complete official ROM ?"
Thanks
Regards

Help me pls! could not use playstore/google service after root

As title, i root my tab s 8.4 today by the cf-auto root, after that i could not use any Google service.
i tried the method i could search on the forum, reset auto date/time, clear cache, delete google service data/ apps, update these service, factory reset, clean flash rom and its still not working. now i totally cannot download any apps from playstore or use apps that connected to google play.
update: after send to samsung service center, they could not found out whats wrong with my tab. They reflash local original firmware for me(before send i flashed a Russia firmware). somehow they able to erase all stuff very clean without leaving any trace that i mess up and it work perfectly. BTW they did do it free for me (under warranty even i rooted and trigger the knox to 1 with warranty void).

Thats a random one, best solution i can give you there is going into settings and doing a full reset, your tablet gets wiped but your personal documents get left...then when you sign back into google all ur apps should redownload themselves and your contacts and it will still be rooted m8....let us know how you get on pal.

Crikey....then i would reccommend
Flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...recovery-twrp-2-7-1-0-touch-recovery-t2817100 , twrp recovery.
Then this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/prerooted-stock-touchwiz-rom-t2973107 t800/t805
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/stock-tw-rom-galaxy-tab-s-8-4-t2995235 t700/t705
If this doesnt do the trick just dwnload the latest firmware for you from sammobile.com , extract the file inside the zip, use odin to flash it...this is the 1.6gb sized file im talking about, it will completely re go over EVERYTHING there is to go over except obviously your personal stuff...you will end up with an unrooted deep factory reset devices...then try another root method...if your feeling brave ...good luck m8

Hello. Does google play force stop or...? Does it say cant connect bla bla bla?
The only thing I can suggest is installing cm11 and flash the gapps package. It should remove google play and reinstall it.

Hey Thanks for the fast reply.
Well, it crashes all the time, have to keep hitting ok, so i uninstalled the play store etc. I rooted and wanted CM in the first place so this will be awesome If i can get it working. I noticed that the installer isnt supported but could you link me to the best tutorial to follow. I have only done this once on my S3.
Thank you in advance and peace.

Installer? You need to install twrp recovery. Just download flashify (from playstore) and install the latest twrp.
I assume you have the Tab S 8.4 SMT700? If so http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=54549581 is the link and download for cm11. This is for google apps forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942
And download this for supersu http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
Just download all that.
Heres a video I made for how to install cm12. The procedure to install is still the same. http://youtu.be/K96siaPKtrU

From where did you buy it? Does your phone have other google apps like gmail, g+, google maps etc?
You can download the latest playstore (Version 5.4.12) from the attachment provided below..Transfer it to the phone and enable unknown sources...Install apk normally..
The apk/file provided by @a76vna is google installer...It will help you download all the apps made by google (Only google apps ; No third party apps can be downloaded from it)\
Please tell us how did it brick..Is it stuck on bootloop??...You can revive the phone by downloading and flashing the stock rom from official Asus website...

How is it bricked, can you elaborate?

Sorry for the short post.
The phone was stuck in a boot loop. It would show the ASUS logo, then the spinning wheel.
Turns out the problem was that I was trying to flash the .11 version of the pre root image instead of the .13
Flashing the .13 version fixed the boot loop and also installed all the google apps! So both problems are solved now.
I was able to install all the gapps using this method.
I found the google installer for the miui and than it worked flawlessly.

Any changes you know where I can get the correct Google Play Services for the zenfone 2? I tried all sorts different version and nothing works. Every time I install it I just keep getting the message "Unfortunately google play store has stopped". I tried all sorts of different things to get it to work but its still not working. Right now I have it uninstalled by factory data resetting the phone. I downloaded the attachment you had and every time I open it it just close back and no errors. If anyone has any suggestions for me would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Will do. Some of you might already know this trick but ill tell you what I did. You need to uninstall google play store and google play services I could not do it from the phones options so I had to factory data reset my phone. To do so go to settings > Backup & reset > Factory data reset Note : This will erase all your data on your phone. I did not back up my data or turn on any of the options in the backup & reset. Ones you are done with the factory data reset check if you any google apps installed on the phone. If you do then try to find a way to uninstall them I don't know how. If you don't have them installed then go to settings > security > tun on unknown sources. Then go to your browser on the phone and go to m.app.mi.com then click on the green button at the top right hand side it will start downing Xiaomi market. When you have the app installed on to your phone open it and search google. You should get a button that says "search other markets" if you do click it. You need to find the right now I can't post pics so do a search for Xiaomi google installer in google images and you see it . This should install google installer, ones its done installing open google installer and install google play store you should know and see the icon for it. You will get a prompt saying install google services framework click ok. Then you should see "Google Services Framework" ,"Google Account Manager" , and two different google play icons. On the bottom there is a install all button click it. You will get another prompt just click continue and just keep hitting next and install ones you get prompted. That it you should have everything working now hope that helps.
PS: I know this is a long away to do it. You can just download for the 4 apps and transferring them to your phone internal drive and installing them. You could do that but that's not what I did.

I am also stuck with the same problem as you. I rooted my phone with pre rooted app and it is chinese version. I dearly want Google Play. Kindly help.
google installer
so many people told about many things, but no one gave easy solution......I just installed Google installer_1.3_9.apk...thats it...now I can access google items in my Asus Zenphone 551ml...

Just got ze551 and updated CM. Now can't install google play services/play store

I'm not sure what to do here. I just got my Zenfone 2 (ze551ml/z00a) and noticed I had a notification for a system update and foolishly thought it would be no big deal to proceed to install it. I think it was on CM 12.1 previously and the update was for CM 13 but not sure but after it updated it axed pretty much all the apps that were on it including any Google services. Wouldn't be a big deal since the update was literally the first thing I've done with the phone after porting #/service---haven't imported contacts or anything---but I can't just download an APK of the Play store or Google services. I've tried this through APK downloads and through the Google installer app (which is in Chinese regardless of whether I got it off the xiaomi market or not). The results weren't much different with each attempt. I get either "There was a problem communicating with Google servers. Try again later" when trying to sign in when launching play store or""Google Play services won't run unless you update Google Play services.", which I cannot do.
So I can't really do much of anything right now with the phone and really regret installing the CM update. I got Open Gapps but (x86, 6.0, full I think?) but I'm not sure what to do with it. I have experience rooting phones and have rooted my last two phones but I'm no expert when it comes to smartphones. I just want this phone to be usable again, I don't care whether I am using stock or cyanogenmod. How can I get Google services and alike to run is open gapps the solution or do I need to find some recovery rom to try to flash to? I've seen so many completely different solutions to this that I don't know where to go from here. I did a factory reset but that had no effect and the solutions I tried here thus far haven't worked.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and if you leave a bitcoin wallet address and your solution helps I'll gladly send you a tip for your efforts. Thanks!!
Have you tried reformatting, and flashing gapps and rom? The phone settings was likely tinkered.
What recovery have you got loaded ? If twrp which it should be , being on cm ? Cm 13.1 gets updates and notifications for updates , so download gapps for android 6 x86 ..boot into recovery and flash latest gapps .
What build number date etc ?

Not sure which recovery, it had like 6 grey square-ish buttons when I entered it last time. But when you say 'download gapps' you mean get Open Gapps right? I booted into recovery mode with the zip of it but didn't have a guide handy so I didn't mess with it. So I was on the right track it sounds like, I'll give that a shot with a guide and reply here with the results.

Don't have youtube or any google apps unfortunately, the update to CM 13 removed most of the apps.
Yes just head over to cm 13 for z00a if your device in " original android development section"? , and follow cm flashing instructions ,
What build number and date of build installed ?

I guess I got ahead of myself. I tried installing open gapps from recovery, looked like it worked so I wiped cache and after the phone started I just get a barrage of "unfortunately setup wizard has stopped" and 'play store has stopped" over and over again. So now I can't check what version I have but I know it was CM 13 and one of the latest three available nightly builds with android 6.0.1, I did try installing the 'official' google apps first but I got an error like "unable to update file" or something---guessing I should have tried unlocking the bootloader first? The official unlocker tool is an .apk so now thats off the table. But if this phone has TWRP on it then doesn't that mean the previous owner already unlocked it (I bought it used)? Should I try unlocking first or go straight to flashing CM13?
I'm assuming you are saying to get the CM 13 ROM for z00A from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zen.../rom-cyanogenmod-13-0-nightly-builds-t3264492
I'll download that and give it a shot.
edit:
Do I want the .zip for CM13 (CM Build) or the recovery (.img) or both? screenshot. the guide isn't really clear. I'm going into recovery/TWRP to see if I can find out my version # of CM---I think its the version from 5/23 but I'm not sure
Well the guide is straight forward , you will have download new twrp and flash that for future updates to flash correctly , there are tonnes of threads to get you back up and running around here , take your time ..enjoy .
You say you cannot boot into system so put all files on SD card and select storage in twrp ..flash ROM ..gapps .. and latest twrp ..so you can back up at earliest instance
If any probs , try YouTube ..there's a few vids for flashing cm13 on zen 2
How's it going ohituna ? All good?

Updated TWRP to v3 first then flashed CM13 from the thread I linked above (the zip, not the img). along with the x86-nano version of opengapps. Worked perfectly. Wish I would have done that from the start instead of messing around with trying to get opengapps to work without the flashed CM and whatnot. Seems to be running perfect, got bunch of apps off play store already with no problem getting my contacts and other Google stuff.
Thanks for the pushes in the right direction!:good::good::good::good:
Now the ZF2 is starting to grow on me, got it instead of waiting for the HTC One A9 price to drop and I'm feeling like I made the right call.
Great news , better that you sorted it yourself .
Now save a back up on PC and keep forever lol just in case

Google Apps problem on China Oreo Rom Solution

I've stayed on the China rom since I bought my phone and everything was fine with the Google apps until the update to Oreo 9.5.2. Problems encountered were constant crashing and popups, battery drain and Google Assistant stopped working. Here's how I solved the issues:
1) Go to this link and install the updated Google apps for Oreo http://en.miui.com/thread-1682191-1-1.html
2) I tried several Assistant apps on the play store but all crash immediately just like Google Assistant. So I've switched to Cortana (until Xiaomi fix the bug) and it works perfectly.
Hope this helps anyone that decided to stay on the China rom like me.
P.S. Before anyone asks. No, I don't want the Global rom or a custom rom. No I don't want to flash, mod, magisk or anything else. Just posting a tip. Thanks.
Bump, I also have the problem and it's fustrated to know my Google assistant and Google app not working.
I tried to solve it with this solution, but still have the problems.
Also 4/6 apps it didnt install, because I have a newer version.
Are there any other solutions?

Uninstall your other Google apps and install these. Make sure you follow the instructions exactly. Install but don't open and make sure you use the 8.0 version of Google Services Framework and not 8.1. Reboot your device and log back into Google. You also have to enable all the permissions, autostart, background, don't kill, no restrictions etc just like a regular app since they're not treated like a system apps by MIUI. If Google Play Services starts draining the battery just force stop it. Opening any other Google app will restart it in normal mode.
All this works for me so far and I'm also getting about an extra hour of battery life along with the major ram management improvements on Oreo.
Another thing. If Google Play Services is causing battery drain, disable Modify System Settings in permissions. I've been getting the battery drain issue once in a while and found a possible solution in the Oneplus forums. So far it seems to be working.

Here's the solution to the Google app problem. Google Assistant won't show up as the default Voice Assistant so you'll have to just use voice on the normal app.

Make sure you uninstalled your original Google Account Manager and then try again. If that doesn't work uninstall everything and try this method:
http://en.miui.com/thread-2069667-1-1.html
I only added the Google Partner Setup apk from that link to mine and disabled Modify System Settings in permissions and everything seems ok so far. You can also try force stopping Google Play Services and opening the Play Store. That worked for me too but it doesn't solve all the problems.
I'm presuming you followed the original instructions to the letter and installed the apps in order without opening anything and then rebooting?

I've installed all gapps through Xiaomi store. Eveything is working now. Let's see if the battery drain problem is still there tomorrow.
Before my clock also didnt work, but today it works suddenly......
Good to hear. Disabling the Modify System Settings permission solved my battery drain issue. Everything works so I'm not exactly sure what that permission does.
I got parse error when tried to install the google account manager. Not sure how you guys solved the issue?

I follow the installation guide here:
http://en.miui.com/thread-1682191-1-1.html
But the thing is the Miui 9 now needs to give permission to install 3rd party apps for each app, but I do set it up that the Mi File Manager has the right to do that but same thing, still has that Parse error when trying to install the Google Account Manager.
I don't see Xiaomi store has GApps anymore, where did you get it from?

I really don't understand why you're not able to install it successfully. Try uninstalling everything again and follow this method exactly http://en.miui.com/thread-1682191-1-1.html
Make sure you install only the 8.0 version of Google Services Framework and not 8.1. Don't open anything until you have rebooted.
This is the one I used and only added Google Partner Setup from the other method whilst disabling Modify System Settings in the permissions for Google Services Framework.

I just chose the first one that came up. But if you're suspecting the files are corrupted just download the updated versions directly from Apkmirror.

Hi guys, does any of you have this issue with Google Play services automatically update to version 12.2.21 and then puts Google play store in a loop displaying the message "Authentication is required. You need to sign in your Google account" even though I am signed in and press the retry button. I can confirm previous versions of Google play services do not cause this issue, but there is no way to stop the damn thing from automatic updating, even though the app store has autoupdate off.
I tried removing the account and adding it back. Tested with another Google account and same issue.

I had the same issue when I updated to Oreo. Try and Force stop Google Play Services and deny it permission to Modify System Settings. The Force Stop will allow you to access the Play Store temporarily and for some reason denying permission to Modify System Settings permanently solves the battery drain and Play Store issue. I have no idea why but someone posted it on the OnePlus forums and it works.

Netflix does not run on rooted global rom 10.3.5

Hello all,
I have received recently an (ebay bought) Mi Max 3 4/64.
The phone is the China version and came with a global rom.
The phone immediately at first launch updated itself to miui global 10.3.5
I rooted it via TWRP (ignoring the password prompt) using the Magix zip and all seems to be fine. (I did not install TWRP itself, just used it to flash the zip)
However I tried to use now netflix and it does not work.
First the app was not showed in the app store: I found the apk at a different source.
But when launching the APK it now consistently crashes.
I installed the "liboemcrypto" plugin in magisk - but that made no difference...
What can I try now?
Thank you for any pointers

Hi, if you don't mind me asking. I have the lastest version also. 10.5. What was your exact steps to root your phone. I'm trouble rooting this phone. Thank you

It was actually quite easy (I assume your phone is unlocked, right?)
You need to download the ADB tools to your pc
Get TWRP for Mi Max 3
Copy Magisk ZIP to your Mi Max (most recent version)
Reboot Mi Max in Fastboot mode
Boot TWRP via fastboot on the phone (no need to install)
Disregard the password comment
Flash the Magisk Zip via TWRP
Reboot - you are rooted
If you need more details feel free to PM me.
PS: You may need to find a slow PC as some people (including me) have issues when using a current, faster PC with USB 3
