I wasn't asked to update after unplugging USB

My buggy zenfone runs 1.98 WW. I followed all the steps mentioned - downloaded 1.14 WW, extracted the user-zip file, copied it into "internal storage" (I hope that's good enough), renamed it to 2.19, and unplugged the USB. I wasn't asked to update, there was no notification or alert. I did a restart anyway, but nothing happened.

Does my phone have to be rooted first?

Thx
[Zenfone 5 General] optimusodd:
Here is how you can update your phone manually.Remember that you will lose your user app and data.So backup them before flashing the framework.

Hope this helps!!

Have you enabled usb debugging?

Go to setting > About >Software information >Tap 7-10 times on "Build number" > You will get a popup massage "you are now a developer" > Go back to setting > Developer options > Check the USB debugging.That's it.

You can't,Note 2 uses different kind of digitizer in the display which enables pen to work.

---------- Post added at 09:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 PM ----------

That post is regarding changing the SKU(Stock Keeping Unit) Version e.g. switching from "WWE" to "CHT" or "TW" and vice versa.

Why are you still stuck to 1.98 WW ?Why don't you update your framework ?The latest build for ZF 5 is "ASUS_T00J_WW_user_2.21.40.44".Exactly what do you want to achieve ?:rolleyes:
[Zenfone 5 General] joeav:
I got the phone with 1.98 ww, and it was buggy. my objective was to have a stable version, and I understood that I have to downgrade and start back up again. In the end I managed to do it - all I had to do was disconnect the usb with the "eject" icon on my laptop. and then the notification for an update came on. I'm now on 2.19, downloading 2.21 but not sure if I need it.

Thanks!

Intel USB drivers are not installed properly so your computer is not detecting your phone.Download drivers from here and install again.

It should look like this.

Good luck!!

thanks
[Zenfone 5 General] optimusodd:
What is your Phone model,Android version and Build number ?

2.21.40.44 is the latest and most stable build as of now.Flash that manually (Don't forget to wipe "Cache partition" via Recovery before flashing )

Hope this helps!!:)

You need to install xplosed installer first.
[Zenfone 5 General] peter-k:
Busybox, Init.d Toggler, F-Droid, Faster GPS, Wakelock Detector, YAAB.

Lets start with the easier first. Yaab improves over the stock auto-brightness. For me standard is too dark, to then jump suddenly to a higher brightness level in a big step. YAAB lets me adjust the character of the aut-brightness, as well it smoothens the levels. Of course there will allways be someone saying the standard brightness being to high and requires sunglasses :)

Wakelock detector does exactly what the name says, detecting wakelocks, for you eventually exploring which services / apps possibly be adjusted or should down in order to safe battery.

FasterGPS can help to get faster GPS lock by enabling a region more closer to your. At times I have GPS lock in seconds with it, at other times it doesn't do anything it seems, but also no harm.

FDroid offers free and open source apps. I always look at it first before going to other, bigger app download sources.

Init.d lets you safe setting that you did as scripts that wil be executed during boot-up, not as usual after boot-up. Such as Processor speed, governour, oom, etc. .But may be you should not worry abt that at this point of time (of your knowledge).

PS you don't need 2 ad-removers. They widely do the same and cost system recources.

Last night when i went a sleep, my battery was nearly 50%, and then when i wake up today morning my phone was dead. I plugged in charger and checked the battery status and found that three apps consumed the battery in about 2 hours.

GAANA app consumed 47% of my battery, though i didnt even once opened yesterday. How is this going, and for your info, i have all these apps from last month.

I have seen unsual fast battery drain like this with some other apps in the past two times and removed them.

Please check my attached battery stats and reply,

Also check cpu background, and cpuspy screenshots
[Zenfone 5 General] peter-k:
I mentioned it bcs it is at tool and the better method of making system or hw changes, such as throttling CPU. Some changes can only be made with initialisation scripts. It needs to have Busybox installed, a full version, not the simple one that comes with Zenroot.

If you enable it what will happen? Nothing.

It seems you don't have the knowledge yet to apply such scripts, or apps that create such scripts. I'd say read first around a little.
[Zenfone 5 General] peter-k:
Why don't you just freeze the suspected culprits and then try again? As well consider installing Wakelock Detector.

badly in need for stock or custom rom

the wifi of both zenphone 5 n 6 keeps on crashin wen connectd to connectify or similar softwares now itz no longer even showin those hotspots

the devices are no longer connecting to pc either using data cables

all these problems can easily be solved if someone can please provide a link for custom rom or even stock rom n a working flashing tool for the device
[Zenfone 5 General] optimusodd:
That's working fine in my case.I confirm that Zenfone5 is working pretty fine with Connectify.Probably your Firewall is creating the problem.Again USB connections and Revers tethering are also working without any glitch.

If you updated your firmwares via OTA, I recommend wiping"Cache partiton" via Recovery.

If that doesn't work go for Factory Reset,if that doesn't work either "Flashing the latest firmware" is your LAST RESORT.

There is no stable Custom ROM for Zenfones as of now.

You can find the STOCK firmwares here.

Hope this helps!!!:)

Can you mention the complete Error ? Or post a screenshot.

Have you modified "System" partition ?Uninstalled/Freezed any pre-installed app ?You won't get OTA if you have done that,you will have to restore the changes.

What's your current Model number and Build number ?

Have you got Xposed framework installed ? You got to unistall XF before going through OTA update.
[Zenfone 5 General] N'ayam Amarsh'e:
I uninstalled some google apps but I'm not sure that I was successful in Uninstalling theme.

I am not using Xposed.

I haven't modified system partition.

When it reboots to recovery for updating, it throws an error just like someone mentioned the long error on first page of this thread.
[Zenfone 5 General] optimusodd:
That's it.You have uninstalled "Google Apps" that came along with Stock Firmware.

You shouldn't have uninstalled them.

I uninstall Google Chrome but I can update through ota...
[Zenfone 5 General] optimusodd:
That's a good news.Generally,you don't get OTA updates if you modifify "system" files but some ppl have reported that removing pre-installed apps be it gapps or manufacturer specific apps (e.g. PC Link,Splendid etc) cause complications.So just be on the safe side it's advised not to remove pre-installed apps.You can freeze them using TB or hibernate using Greenify.It is also advised to remove xposed framework before updating via OTA.

[Zenfone 5 General] optimusodd:
It has already been mentioned multiple times on multiple threads that

Don't try to do an OTA Update with a CUSTOM Recovery (TWRP,CWM etc )

still you went for OTA update :eek:

OTA updates depend on the STOCK Recovery and If you install a Custom Recovery on your phone you will not receive OTA updates.You need stock recovery for OTA updates.

Coming to the issue.You have got 2 options:

Option 1(Preferred) : Backup your apps and data > Flash the latest firmware manually >Root your phone >Restore apps and data .

Option 2 : In your phone,using ES File Explorer,go to "/cache" and check if you can see any update zip file there.If not,download the update zip file and place in the root of your SD Card.Now boot into recovery,locate the update zip file and install that manually.

Hope this helps!!

And in Step 7 ,type

;)
[Zenfone 5 General] peter-k:
I did not use OTA bcs I have TWRP installed. I always thought the possibility to re-install an image of the last perfect working set-up is better value than any OTA updates. Therefore I also did not mind to de-install system apps (those which I don't use) or other Asus stuff, such as the promotional sales video. So, I was wondering what I am missing without OTA.

I did need to use my image a couple of times and was always able to recover within minutes. May be that is why I am still happy with my ZF 5, in opposite to some others here. However that's not what I really wanted to say. The more important issue is, your post and other such as your #2961 prove how desperately a real forum for Zenfone is needed. I am possibly asking to be banned. But please guys consider moving with this sort of posts to http://www.asus-zenfone.com/p/forum.html in order to retain the information in a proper forum format.

I don't think I'm on Custom recovery, I am on stock and can You tell me if the T00Fand T00J is a problem?
[Zenfone 5 General] Fallingwater:
Hi all. I've just received a Zenfone 6, the 2GB model, shipped straight from China. Stock from the package it reports the following:

Model number: ASUS_T00G

Android version: 4.4.2

Baseband version: 1434_1.5.39.2_0922

Kernel version: 3.10.20-262908-g3ebb293

Build number: ASUS_T00G_WW_user_2.99.40.15_20140927_4873 release-keys

Amazingly enough, the stock ROM is prerooted - I guess the e-store I got it from did the job for me. I have promptly disabled OTA updates.

I see mention of a "2.21" ROM, but I imagine "2.99" is more recent. So is this the latest rootable stock ROM for the Zenfone 6? If not, what is it? I don't want to screw around with third-party and/or experimental ROMs, but I'd like to be up-to-date nevertheless, as long as I can get root (this is essential).

Also, what do I need to install to be able to make flashable backups? The stock ROM has quite a bit of garbage I don't need (various optimizers from DU studio, Baidu stuff, a couple of stupid games and such) and I'd like to install Greenify, Xposed and a few other things. After I'm done setting it up as I like I'd like to do a full flashable image of the whole thing, so if I screw it up down the line I can just reflash it with my backup from the computer or from a recovery menu and restore it to my standards, without having to reconfigure it from step one.

Thanks!
[Zenfone 5 General] zreo15:
same here my too showing the same dunno the cause
[Zenfone 5 General] Fallingwater:
Hmm. I'm trying to install xposed according to the instructions in the first post, but it's not working. (Zenfone 6)

The conf subdir doesn't exist (yes, I did install the app; no, I did not open it). I created it, then did those commands and it seems to have generated the file, but when I then go to install the actual xposed module it says it's done it, reboots, then says it's not yet installed.

EDIT: Scratch all this, installation has succeeded. I uninstalled the installer, reinstalled it, opened it without installing the framework, closed it again, then the conf folder was created by the app. In it I created jit_reset_offset with the "echo" command. I then forgot the chmod command, not sure if that's done the magic or what - the next install attempt was successful.
[Zenfone 5 General] X.DragonSlayer.X:
Some issues after the last update

Well, I'm getting some issues after the last up, phone was working fine before.

I'm not sure if the problem is in the soft or in the hardware, sometimes the vibration just stop working, e after sometime it comes back again.

I use the vibration on to typing because I like the feedback to feel that I really type, so when don't work is awful for me :D

So, I'd like to know if someone is having this same issue and if its have a solution....

Sorry for the bad english:(
[Zenfone 5 General] optimusodd:
Well,OTA updates help you upgrade your framework without extra hassle (Reflashing firmwares manually ,backing up apps and data and restoring them) but it's a pain esp. when you are ROOTED.

It's recommended to wipe "cache partition" via recovery after every OTA update but that's mentioned nowhere in official instructons and that leads to a lot of trouble.Personally,I don't like OTA and prefer to flash the framework manually coz I don't want to get into all this troubleshooting when something get messed up after OTA updates.

Completely agree with you.I have no idea why XDA is so biased against ASUS Zenfones :eek: No doubt www.asus-zenfone.com is much more supportive and organized forum.

Switch off your phone > Press and Hold togehter "Power Key + Volume Up Key" until the ASUS logo appears > You will get into Droidboot menu > Select Recovery (Use volume up /down keys to navigate up and down and "power" key to select) > Wait for few seconds ,you will see a laying android logo,now while pressing and holding "volume down" button,press and release the "volume up" button > You will get into Recovery mode > Select "wipe data/factory reset".
