Get The Official MoKee ROM For ZUK Z1 [Android 5.1.1 Lollipop]

A brand new MoKee ROM is now available for the Lenovo ZUK Z1. The famed third-party Android OS community, MoKee, has stepped into the support of a lot of devices one of which is the ZUK Z1. MoKee OpenSource is based on the Google AOSP. The community claims that they update their source code frequently in order to keep up with the latest development and that is indeed true. There are already 3 builds available for the Lenovo device making them stable and free from bugs. The ROM also sports its own features and functionalities that make the OS even more likable.

MoKee for ZUK Z1 is based on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop firmware compiled from the CM 12.1 source code and comes with official support. It can be flashed directly through a custom recovery like TWRP. Flash the ROM and compatible Google Apps and you are good to go.

An unlocked bootloader is required in order to setup a custom recovery like TWRP. We already have the bootloader unlock guide available for you. So once you unlock the bootloader and setup TWRP, you are all set to install the MoKee ROM or any compatible custom ROM of your choice.

Before we begin make sure you backup everything as it will make a clean install and all your apps and data will be lost. Stay tuned for further updates and let’s begin with the tutorial.

5. After performing the ROM backup, perform a full wipe. Return to the TWRP main menu and tap the wipe button and select Advanced Wipe. Then select Dalvik Cache, System, Data, and Cache. Now swipe the confirmation button to wipe.
6. Now go back to the TWRP main menu or home screen and tap on the install option. Navigate to the ROM file and select it.
