this is my sot. It could be more if i don't play 3d games

Last stock rom i tried is 3.5x. Try go needrom.com. they have few people who lost imei and successfully recovered.

Nice, as expected from 4000mah battery
Still waiting for my case/tempered glass like you did lol

Btw, this method should be good enough to recover those imei as well?

Gosh, this sounds not that easy.. I've already googled, read reviews, forums etc to find the right phone.. I tot z7 max would fit the criteria.. But again, after reading all the suggestions n tips from u guys,  it looks that z7 max is not the one.. I really need the phone b4 I go to perak on the 17th..any other suggestions are appreciated
*
You should probably grab the latest firmware for z7 max from 4pda, they even removed the bloatwares too.
Then, flash gapps from opengaps

Probably close to around +700 if you get it from taobao agent
Not really sure if there's gonna be a problem or not if you use taobao direct global shipping which adds another 32 yuan for the shipping.

Don't forget if held at custom you need apply sirim permit rm106 n pay 6% gst on invoice value cum courier charges. All these easily done online these days
*
My z7 max was held by customs, apparently the seller officially declared it as phone instead of different item like cameras and such. Rm100 flew away for the sirim permit, atleast i got a rm200 discount buying from lazada.

With taobao agent, you won't have to worry about your items held by custom since they'll handle everything.
So your rm100 is guaranteed safe now haha.

Lazada will refund you the Sirim RM106 - just email them the receipt. I had successfully claim twice from them
Is the only local online sales site that will refund you Sirim fees. In each case I got the refund in 4-5 days
*
You can actually claim the sirim fee?
I didn't know that, damn
Well, that was over a year anyway

If you from other ROM you must do full wipe first
Get v3.66 (official version) is good enough. Don't really know what they changed in v3.67 (beta version).

I've already done a data/cache/dalvik wipe with twrp.
Still not enough? Need to wipe internal sdcard too?

Bro, how do you buy from taobao for phones?

Using agent or global direct shopping since now it's available for msia?

I'm just worried it might get held up by customs in china/hk with global direct shipping or something since it's categorized as sensitive items.

Then again I've bought a few electronic items like aukey charger/4 bay hdd dock (using global direct shipping) and they all shipped here without any problems.

Bro, you need to use the nubia flash tool to install v3.22 before you can upgrade to later version. WARNING: All data will be gone.
I didn't buy phone direct from taobao to Malaysia before. I bought 4 phones from lazada all shipped in from HK sellers. Lucky I didn't pay sirim before.

Taobao, like what you mentioned, phone might stucked with customs. normally I'll ask my friend to help bring it back for me. Direct shipping a bit risky. Too many chance for the phone to be stolen. If I'm not mistaken the shipping company will only compensate you 3x your shipping cost which is far less than the phone price.

If I accidentally lost the imei after flashing nubia rom using flashtool
What's the best method to retrieve them back?

I'll be grabbing this one for my aunt, hopefully the same or better camera sensor like they did with zte z7 series.
Still no decent review yet for this model it seems.

This model already appear quite awhile already wor, known as weiwu 3 in china. Now only appear in local market? Its just a budget model on snapdragon 615 only.

If willing to pay slight more, I think its better off with letv 1s, since its just 100 rmb more compare to this zte model in china, and thinner also
*
They keep giving a variety of names just for the same model
Really hope they give proper international rom for this version since I see a lot complaints regarding the default roms that comes with it on xda

Have you tried letv 1s?

If you worry item might get lost during transit, can claim issurance with addtional 3% charge from overall item price

I have a weird problem here
My z7 max not detecting network, it started right I forgot to charge it.
When I turned it on again after fully charged, it's no longer detecting any network. I checked the simcard settings and the IMEI for both sim slots are still there.

So I tried updating to latest cm13 rom, still same problem. Then I tried flashing to Mokee rom, and it's still the same thing.
Anything ever encountered this kind of sim network issues like this before?


Problem solved, flashed back to cm12,
Googled around, and apparently there's bunch of cases where simcard no longer detected on cm13 hmm.gif
