[Zenfone 5 General] Rikkuzen193:
Hello, I have a Zenfone 5 A500KL that has an issue with it's fastboot/droidboot, I had no droidboot when pressing Power + Vol+ buttons, only Asus Logo bootloop. So I had to find a way how to fix it, but bricked my phone doing it, now I don't have fastboot, asus logo, usb logo, recovery mode.

It is being detected by pc, but can't be detected when typing adb devices or fastboot devices, I tried xfstk but it won't detect Cloverviewplus device. Can anyone help me?
[Zenfone 5 General] nileshwarale:
I had same issue..

key combo did not take me to bootloader..

thought phone was dead and planned to buy a new one..

but repeating several key combos worked for me..

key combo changed with upgrades..

Hope you are using correct combination..

you did not mention what 'ways' u were trying to go to bootloader..
[Zenfone 5 General] Rikkuzen193:
I tried Power Button + Volume Up button, and Power + Volume Down. Repeated it multiple times, tried only holding volume up, and only holding volume down. Nothing.
[Zenfone 5 General] nileshwarale:
only repeatedly pressing key combos should not brick your phone..

did you update or change anything into file system..

If not take your phone to service centre..

they will be able to revive it..
[Zenfone 5 General] t.mahdavi:
i dont think so but with recovery image maybe its getting some improvement.

i would be thankful if any of you can somehow help me.
[Zenfone 5 General] Rikkuzen193:
Hard bricked A500KL phone, no droidboot, no recovery, no asus logo, no usb logo, no vibration, no display, no anything.

I can detect it on pc though via device manager.

Hi everyone, I have zenefone 6 ww_3.24.40.78 and it is rooted so i'm going to update to ww_3.24.40.87 but mine is T00G and the last update is for T00F , does it a problem or not?

And if it is OK, should i just update it? (copy the file to internal storage and when a notification appears, touch it and do the update) or follow other instructions?

Thanks
[Zenfone 5 General] optimusodd:
Make sure it's got enough charge.

Are you getting OTA update ? If yes, first unroot the phone (SU > Settings > Full unroot ).Remove Xposed Framework and modules (If any ).And apply OTA update.

Not a problem.All you need to do is,in the name of the Zip file,replace "T00F" with "T00G" and you are good to go.

If you are updating manually,backup your data first.

Don't forget to wipe Cache partition via Recovery before and after the Update.

Hope this helps!!!

I don't understand what exactly you want to achieve :confused:

You are just messing up with your device without knowing what you are doing.

What exactly you want to update ?

[Zenfone 5 General] optimusodd:
I haven't heard of anybody using it on 3.24.40.78 / 3.24.40.87.It was working great on 3.23.40.60 (very few modules though ).People who tried to install Xposed 3.24.40.78 / 3.24.40.87 reported boot loop issues.So I didn't try installing it on 3.24.40.78.

Yeah the battery backup has gone pathetic with the latest update 3.24.40.87,that's the reason I chose to stick with 3.24.40.78 ,waiting for the more stable update :fingers-crossed:

You can downgrade to 3.24.40.78 and use Greenify to improve battery performance.

Hope this helps!!!

yes.. you are right..

not only battery.. network, wifi, GPS have also degraded with. 87

planning to downgrade to .78

but I was using xposed on. 78..

I use only few modules though..

Greenify, Gravity Box, Handle External Storage..

if you suggest I will use others also..
[Zenfone 5 General] optimusodd:
:cool: Xposed on 3.24.40.78 ? How did you install that ?

Did you use " XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk " to install that ?Can you provide link to the tutorial/guide you followed to install Xposed ? Was Xposed running smoothly without any problem on 3.24.40.78 ?

I have had Xposed installed on 3.23.40.60 but I am not using it on 3.24.40.78 as some users reported that it was causing boot loops and some other problems on 3.24.40.78.

I would like to install it if it's working adroitly :)
[Zenfone 5 General] nileshwarale:
sorry my mistake..

it was 3.23.40.60 on which I was using xposed..

I updated to. 78 & . 87 on same day..

really sorry..

my mistake..
[Zenfone 5 General] optimusodd:
No problem mate :D

So you are not running Xposed on your device anymore ?

Xposed can be installed on 3.23.40.78 but the process requires Unlocked bootloader and TWRP recovery.So many users are complaining about freezed device after getting their bootloader unlocked.

I don't want things to get messed up,that's why I haven't installed Xposed on my device.
[Zenfone 5 General] Fallingwater:
Sorry if this has been answered before - this thread is *long*.

Are there any custom ROMs that work well for the Zenfone 6, or AOSP perhaps? A quick Google showed a "resurrection remix" ROM for it, but the bug list is a bit too long and makes it a cool experiment but not suitable for general use.
[Zenfone 5 General] optimusodd:
Unfortunately,as of now,"Resurrection Remix" is your only resort buddy.That's the only custom ROM available for ZF6.
[Zenfone 5 General] nileshwarale:
got back to 2.24.40.54 today

everything is working fine..

installed Xposed..

but gravitybox is not working as it used to work on lollipop .60

any suggestions ? ? ?
[Zenfone 5 General] optimusodd:
What made you get back to 2.24.40.54 ?Xposed also works on Lollipop .60 and it's also a stable build.I never tried gravitbox module on Xposed.

Probably some compatibility issue on 2.24.40.54.
[Zenfone 5 General] nileshwarale:
I had to downgrade.. had no option, .87 is bad..

everybody says that battery performance is better with kk .54

I had directly jumped from kk .44 to L

so trying. 54

have a locked bootloader & all updates for L..

will move back to .60 if not satisfied..
[Zenfone 5 General] pintuvirani:
Bro press continue power & vol down button when assus logo comes leave the button and after some seconds you will get into direct recovery mode. Then you can flash rom via adb sideloade.

Sorry for bad english, im trying to use english

I've downgrade my zenfone 5 from ww 3.24.40.78 to ww 3.23.40.49 because my phone was bootloop, i'm trying adb sideload to upgrade it again to 3.24.40.78 but doesnt success, update manuall but doesnt success, update ota and still same, doesnt success, what should i do to upgrade my phone to latest version???
[Zenfone 5 General] nileshwarale:
relock your bootloader..

put .78 zip to internal memory..

an update will be detected..

try it..

if it fails..

freshly download the .78 file..

it should work..

before doing anything..

lock your bootloader properly to correct version ..

Search forum you will find many posts for that..

if you want to stay with stock fw..

keep bootloader locked..

if you are on WW then update to .60

& stay at it.. as it is most stable of all L updates..

hope this helps..

[Zenfone 5 General] nileshwarale:
download a lower version..

3.23.40.52

then put it in internal storage..

make sure you have a uninterrepted download..

ideally .60 should also work

may be improper download is the reason..

and stay on .60 as it is most stable of the lot

If yes then youtube to zenfone 6 which cannot turn on.

Myself, i unscrew the zenfone 6, carefully remove the back cover and the middle cover.

Carefully unplug the battery connector for twice as youtube said.

[Zenfone 5 General] qureshiburhan92:
This is my first post on XDA and i am in desperate need of help. I own a Asus Zenfone 6. Recently i tried unlocking bootloader and installing TWRP recovery so that i can flash a custom ROM. It went horribly wrong and i bricked my device. I managed to unbrick it and revert to Stock ROM which i also upgraded to LOLIPOP using adb sideload. I also managed to root it and have super user access. The problem is that i cannot install a TWRP or any other recovery. When i try to install a custom recovery i get and error " cannot install unsigned image on secure device" which probably suggests that the boot loader is locked. I ran the commands to unlock the boot loader and they ran successfully but i am not sure if the bootloader is locked or unlocked.

I tried running fastboot oem devices but i get an error " Unknown Oem command".

It was after hours of troubleshooting that i decided that i am OK with stock LOLIPOP rom as long as i have a rooted device. It was after sometime that i noticed that the camera wasn't working. Also the flashlight wasn't working. I uninstalled the updates and flashlight was working. However the camera just gives me a black screen for some time after which it quits with an error message " Camera is used by another application. Please reboot your device and try again". I uninstalled the updates for Camera and reverted to a previous version by also removing the camera application using super user access. However for an older version i get an error " Camera not found". I have also tried installing other camera applications but none seem to work even after making them a part of system. Currently flashlight works but only under an older version , as soon as i update it stops working. I decided to lock the boot loader again as it was just not worth it. However after running the commands and locking the bootloader i still cannot get the camera to work. I tried in safe mode and the camera won't work there either.

When i go to recovery i just have four options, there is no install from internal storage or SD card which suggests i am on stock recovery.

Currently i just want my camera to work. I am OK with the stock ROM and recovery as long as i have a rooted device. I have spent hours researching and nothing seems to work. I am in desperate need of help. Some of the friends suggested to try my luck here. I would be indebted as i dont want to purchase another device just because i screwed my camera. Also when i was under kitkat i ran the SIMI test and was getting an error 1667 and 1668 for both cameras. The test is failing under LOLIPOP as well. I dont think its a hardware issue or maybe i am wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

battery drain

Hi guys! My nexus 4 broke down so I bought zenfone 5 a couple of days ago. However, I'm getting an issue with the battery. Currently when I go to Settings then Battery, Android OS takes up 29% while Screen (which usually eats more power on my previous phones) have 15% only. I can't remember the previous values but they are pretty far apart with Android OS getting a bigger percentage. Is there a known issue? I installed Better Battery Stats but I don't know how to use it yet. :D So if anyone has an idea of what's going on, please let me know. I dont have any pull email, just push (default gmail app). FB is set not to refresh and I don't have any other apps that pulls data.

I hope this isn't a GPS issue because I love Google Now.

Appreciate any help! :cowboy:
