Zuk Z1 - General Discussion

[Shivver]

the command to flash twrp recovery image from bootloader is:

fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash recovery twrp.img

you need to download twrp.img before flash it, and also put it into the same directory (and with the same filename) that you are executing the command.
In the screenshot, the first command fails due to twrp.img isn't found.

I did it, I just tried different combinations, as well changing the name of the file to twrpz1.img
None of the options works.

Sorry, but the issue "can't upload twrp.img" is related to the image file, that's not found, not related to the phone...
I advise to double check that the image file is in the folder that you are...

Just install kingroot apk and then root the device. I believe this is the easiest way root Zuk Z1

I have tried, still the same. Now it's even stopped being recognized after "adb devices" command. So strange, 2 days of fighting with the root and twrp, before buying this device I though that it's going to be the easiest for customs things than any other I had before samsung/lg etc.

Strange, hopefully we will find some solution for it.

The device is rooted by Kingroot, but maybe it should be done in another way?

if possible, post a screenshot for these commands sequence:

ls -l
fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash recovery twrp.img

assuming your device is connected to the pc and started in bootloader mode

If it's unlocked already you should be able to flash TWRP with Flashify. Also @bartito if you don't mind I would like to change the name of the thread to ZUK Z1 - General Discussion and move it to general section. Are you ok with this?

Hi again, all good now the problem was the USB driver, in Windows 10 you need to disable usb enforcing before installing the USB driver.
Root by Kingroot and TWRP by Flashify.

Thank you again for help, now I'm another Zuk happy user

What you want to test?

Anyone who experienced bug of double tap wake? Because it has not been working properly

yes, this occurs sometimes.
Usually only a reboot solves the issue (I think a daemon is being killed and the reboot starts it again)

[bluey12]

What you want to test?

Just a first test, to make sure that the phone has no hardware defect...
Some kind of SMMI test, is it already there or i have to install something?

 

[ferbulous]

My z1 on the latest ota update feels laggy and this never happened with previous updates.
Should I do a factory reset/wipe cache to fix this?

I am on latest cm12 with twrp. How can i back to stock with original recovery?

Hello, do you know if this device has got Gorilla Glass 3 ?

 

[Casper cobain]

Hi all im really stuck and only have 2 days to decide over lenovo zuk z1 and oneplus one which would you recommend please

 

[borisentiy]

If you have enough money, then I would advice zuk. I think that known bugs will be fixed very soon due to coolbird's work. That will give chance for other developers to make their ROMs. The variety of custom ROMs will be like one plus one.
