Thanks,how did you do that ?How did you change the system file ?Did you extract the system file from the Firmware ?

I rooted my ZF5 following this method.

Zenfone threads are so messed up.There is no proper updated compilation of Guides,ROMs,Recoveries,Kernels,Radios,RUUs and Themes.:rolleyes:Do I need to install Custom Recovery,Busybox and Kernel ?It has been a long time since I rooted any device.If I remember correctly,I don't need to install a Custom Recovery until I want to Flash a Custom ROM,similarly I don't need to install a Busybox until I want to play with Kernels,am I right ? :confused:
[Zenfone 5 General] kunalshah912:
I got the system file from a user from Facebook , i just copy-pasted the file , there is a page for our phones on fb , do try it out ! And secondly yes u need a custom recovery to flash custom ROM because the way we root our phones, it lockes the boot loader back ! And I don't use any custom rom because as per my info , there is only one custom rom which contains hardly any significant changes from original one !!
[Zenfone 5 General] optimusodd:
Thanks,so you don't have any Custom Recovery and Busybox installed ?

Hi everyone

I have successfully rooted my Zenfone 5 before a month and now its running latest update of Kitkat. I have attached screenshot here.

Thank u in advance...
[Zenfone 5 General] kunalshah912:

[Zenfone 5 General] Captain Jack Sparrow:
Yes u can
[Zenfone 5 General] optimusodd:
How did you install that ? Using "busybox installer" ? Coz it doesn't get installed during rooting.
[Zenfone 5 General] Captain Jack Sparrow:
Yes of course we gotta install it by Busybox Installer only..

ZF 5 without navigation mobile data

Hello everybody, can anyone give me some help on this problem?

My ZF5 not browse by mobile data. When I bought the phone I just did root and accidentally uninstalled launcher, so I had to reflash the rom, I did some confusion but in the end it worked. :p

Only when trying to navigate mobile data, did not work, only navigate by wifi. I tried then automatically update the release and could not, the following message appears.

_________________________

__________________________

I had to install manually by adb sideload. A detail is that at the end of the installation, before I do wipe date, the following message appeared:

___

(Skip) updating 3G modem nvm

Was there a problem in installation anything related to 3G and so I can not navigate? :confused::confused:

PS .: the problem is not on SIM card. I can use the SIM card mobile data in another smartphone :(

Skype not working

Hello

I have Zenfone 6 with CUCC 1.18.40.16 and Android 4.3. It is rooted and some of the Google apps are running, some are not. The major problem is that Skype is not working. It signs in, but can't accept a call - when I press the green button, it exits immediately. I tried reverting the phone to initial setup, but nothing's worked so far. I don't think I have the knowledge to flash the phone right now. Is there a full tutorial on how to do it? I will be happy to just get Skype working.

I would appreciate any help. Thanks

So has anyone that was somewhat forced to 2.21.40.39 to fix the battery sucsessfully flashed back to 4.3 firmware while keeping correct values in the file?

I need 4.3 back as 4.4 is freaking horrid and cost me 25% battery time which is unacceptable as the file is now fixed but my screen on time is often lower then when the battery display was incorrect....

So it fixed NOTHING for me.

And on top of that google play services on 4.4 are hidious and cant be disabled normaly without the Phone whining about them everytime i open something only draining even more battery.

Here you go buddy :)

http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2015/01/how-to-root-asus-zenfone-5-lite-a502cg.html

Check your build number before shooting in the dark.

I am not sure about A502CG but I rooted my A501CG (2.21.40.44) following this method :

http://xdaforums.com/android/general/root-asus-zenfone-5-kitkat-4-4-2-100-t2947092

You can also try that method ,just replace Root z5 kitkat v2 by RootZenFone5KitKatv4 as old version (v2) is not working for new framework 2.21.40.44.

Have u try to reinstall the font size apps again?
[Zenfone 5 General] optimusodd:
Here are few things to do :

Clear "Cache"

Update SuperSU

Reboot your Phone

Hope this helps!!
[Zenfone 5 General] zxrzxrxp:
tried reinstalling nothing to do, if I Clear "Cache", I lose all the data? first I have to uninstall on super and root, or just a Clear "Cache" from recovery?
[Zenfone 5 General] optimusodd:
No,you will not lose your data.

DON'T clear "Cache partition" from recovery.Use 1Tap Cleaner or Clean Master to clear the cache.

No need to uninstall SuperSU.Just go to Google Play and update it.

After that Reboot your phone.

Have you got Busybox installed ? Install it,if you haven't.

Hopefully that will resolve your problem.Good luck!!

ASUS T00K WW 2.21.40.29 i think its the latest build number? Thanks again optimusodd
[Zenfone 5 General] espanyola:
Have u tried another apps that similar to font size?

The font size apps that installed on your phone was last updated on april 2010 at google playstore, i guess that's too old and maybe incompatible with kitkat.
[Zenfone 5 General] optimusodd:
Yes,probably,that's incompatible with Kitkat.Is there any support thread/page for "Font size" app ?

Probably,it has to do something with "su binaries".

Well you can try few things as last resort :

1.Install Terminal Emulator.Type su and hit Enter.Check if the "$" changes to a "#".

2.Try uninstall and reinstall the app.

3.Uninstall the app >Wipe the "Cache partiton" via recovery >Install it again.

If none of these work you can post your question here and start a new thread.

Hope this helps!!

---------- Post added at 01:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 PM ----------

Um,you are right,that's the latest build and ASUS haven't uplodaed the RAW framework on support page,doh!! :rolleyes:

Well,if you want to downgrade to fix the problems you are having after updating the firmware,you can try following steps to resolve the problem without needing a downgrade.

1.Just wipe the "Cache partition" via Recovery.

2.If problems persist,go to Recovery,Wipe the "Cache partition" and do Factory Reset".

You can backup your apps and data using Titanium Backup or Helium.

Hope this helps!!

But, after install 1.15 , for safety, I installed all the updates (1.16.40.7, 1.16.40.50, 1.17.40.16).

Can someone else test this. Disable GPS but enable weather widget. Does GPS show enabled in graph still?
[Zenfone 5 General] DiegoEnzo:
Keep original version and install google services (CUCC)

Guys, instead of downgrading and changing to WW with all the mess, why not just keep original rom and install google services? I just did this on my zenfone 5 and everything is working perfect plus I keep OTA. Is there something I am missing?

I can provide tested instructions if needed.
[Zenfone 5 General] cgren:
I agree, this is way better than bricking your device and losing warranty
[Zenfone 5 General] DiegoEnzo:
Another possible solution for CUCC

Thanks!! It was so easy that I thougt I was completelly missing something.

needed:

USB Cable to connect the phone to the PC

Drivers for the phone to be recognized by the PC

Root Explorer apk

RootZenFone-1.3r.apk

gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip

1) root the phone with RootZenFone.

2)copy root explorer and gapps-jb-20130813-signed to the phone

3) after installing root explorer use it to paste downloaded SYSTEM folder over original SYSTEM folder.

BAM! reboot and let it update. Everything working perfectly.

It seems you are not rooted properly.

Check one again.

>On the command prompt screen, if you see "#", then your device is rooted.

>If you see a Dollar sign "$",type in "su" (without the quote marks) and hit enter.You might get a popup asking for permission from the "SuperSU".Grant the permission.

>If the command prompt changes to “#” from “$” then the phone is rooted, If the command prompt does not change then the phone is not rooted.

[Zenfone 5 General] optimusodd:
Yeah,you have got the ROOT access.I am sure it's compatibility issue as the last time the app got updated was April 16, 2010( i.e. even before the lunch of Froyo).

Okay,when thing I don't understand,why don't you use some other font size changing app like Big Font ?:confused:

You would like to try some other alternatives.

OR Get the total tweaking control of your device by installing Xposed framework and it's different modules.

Hi everyone!

3questions:

1.I had rooted my zf6 on kitkat,now when I go to fastboot I see this texts bottom : fastboot init..cmd waiting.. is it a problem? or it is normal?

2.There is this message in recovery menu: "E:can't open/tmp/update-script.log" what is it?

3.I had rooted so I intalled some root apps as lucky patcher ,busybox,moded googleplay and... but I flash firmware again via adb sideload then wipe data..... now there is any root apps effects & settings on my device or zf6 is clean completely?:confused:
[Zenfone 5 General] optimusodd:
That's normal.

Nothing to worry.It can't open log file that's all.

Don't know about Zenfone 5 A502CG but I think the ways to get into "bootloader" and "Recovery" must be same as Zenfone 5 A501CG . As it's the newer version of Zenfone 5 ;)

Here you go .Wipe Cache Partition :

1.Turn off your phone.

2.Press and Hold together Power Button +Volume Up Button until ASUS LOGO appears, then release both buttons,phone will boot into bootloader mode.

3.Move down and select " Recovery" (Press Power Button to SELECT/OKAY and "Volume +" and "Volume -" to move UP and DOWN.

4. Phone will show an Android Logo with the belly upward. Now press and hold "Volume -" and while holding it press and release "Volume +" button ,phone will boot into Recovery.

5.Select "Wipe Cache Partition,Once it's done select "Reboot".

Factory Reset : Same as above.After Step 2 ,select "Factory Reset".

Hope this helps!!!:)
