Hello, sorry if i asking stupid questions, but im newbie, and i don't know what means "only for merged partitions". What must i do to merge partitions? Somebody have detailed instructions how to install this ROM? And other question - i already have official 1.50 nubia rom, it's android 4.4.4, do i need to install later official ROM, or mine will be sufficient? Thank you for any help.

The official 4.4 ROM has two partitions, while the newer Android 5.0 official ROMs merge the partitions into one big data partition. The first guide for upgrading is located here:

You shouldn't use this one but it explains things nicely.

You want to upgrade to a newer version of the official ROM, and I'd recommend 3.09 (others may work but I have experience with that one). Here's a link to 3.09 that also has a newer upgrade guide:
ROM Nubia Z7 Max v3.09 | [Official] add the 04/28/2015 on Needrom

After that, you should follow Paolo's guide.

Any more questions, feel free to ask
