ASUS's Stance on Warranties?

I unlocked my bootloader several months ago, but now my SIM card readers (both of them) have gone out. I have no idea how, no water damage or anything like that has happened. They just stopped working. So I went complete stock firmware, locked bootloader, everything but I am still unable to take OTA updates like a new phone would be able to. I think this is because they banned my device from OTAs which I believe they do if you have messed with the device. I need to RMA my device so my question is would it be better to say that I didn't tamper with the device and run the risk of them finding out I did, which is pretty likely seeing as how my device has been banned from OTA updates, or tell them that I did unlock it and all of that but that I have relocked it and I am back to stock? If any of you have had a similar issue how did ASUS handle that? Thanks!

Can you help me how to enter wlan driver or wifi driver or just like samsung models they just dial *#*#526#*#*? Can we also do it on our device? Like trouble shooting or re-installing the wlan driver?

If not

Does the wifi issue fixed?

Coz i switch to custom roms because of wifi issue. Sadly when I flashed custom roms the issue persist..

However I was thinking the method i saw by dialing *#*#5626#*#*

Btw, ive done almost all the method to fixed the wifi issue that I knew.

Clear cache

Hard reset

Down grade stock rom

Upgrade stock rom

Router reset

Using App Wifi Fixer...etc.

And changed to custom rom(atm)

I also used EchoeROM

Problem Persist. Lol

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acnoai:
Hello, my Z00A doesn't enter recovery anymore, eversince I flashed twrp 3.0 via adb. Which was successful according to adb. However, the Phone just reboots into fastboot everytime I try to enter recovery. I tried to set it back to factory settings, but that didn't work either, it just reboots. I followed the procedures for unlocking the bootloader and rooting, everything went fine. My asus screen never got white though, don't know if that might be relevant. But super user is running and I was also able to install TWRP via the manager apk, maybe I should have mentioned that before.

thank you guys.

tl,dr - ZE551ML reboots instead of entering custom recovery, what to do?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mishaisaqt:
So I just recently picked up an old Zenfone 2 (ZE500CL) off of my father who didn't really need it anymore and it was an upgrade from my old ****ty phone, so of course I wanted to root it and after using it for a few hours I wanted to install a custom rom by unlocking the bootloader. Well, I tried that, and something must have gone wrong because I got a bootloop and was only really able to boot into recovery mode.

Now, I didn't backup because I'm dumb for one and two I generally have a good idea of where to start if something does go wrong. The thing is, the methods I've looked up and tried have all failed. First, reflashing the stock rom of my ZE500CL (I've tried four different firmwares from the official website, and I know it's ZE500CL because that's what recovery mode is telling me) does not work. Adb hits 47% in the command prompt, the phone stays at 25% until then, and it goes:

E: failed to verify whole-file signature

E: signature verification failed

Installation aborted

Not sure why it doesn't work, I looked it up and tried various things and it just isn't resolving itself.

So I tried simply running commands like the following:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Using files from the stock firmwares themselves, and that gives me a flash_cmds error. I've tried deleting all of the userdata, the system, the cache, and a factory reset through recovery mode but none of that works. I'd really appreciate any help anyone could offer, this is a pickle and I'd really like to get this phone back up so that I can just run it as a rooted phone.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mishaisaqt:
EDIT 2: All right! Looks like I got it working. The process was relatively simple, actually. It involved booting into TWRP but I wasn't able to most of the time for some reason, it would just never do it. But, I was able to using the CWM Zenfone 2 bat file located here: http://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/help/ze500cl-rooting-related-stuff-t3163528/

Then, I needed the stock rom for my ZE550CL placed onto an external sd card which can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/help/ze550cl-factory-reset-return-to-stock-t3141513

So I would download the CWM Zenfone 2, replace the recovery file as the post states, then run the file. After that, I would run T4 since T1 and T2 didn't work (never tried T3), only T4 would seem to boot me into TWRP. From there, I went to Install, left Zip Verification unchecked, and let the damn thing run. It was the only thing that would run for me, even when doing it with ADB it wouldn't work with the stock rom. Then, I just rebooted and now I'm back on my phone. Hopefully this helps anyone else having this troubling issue, it was terrible!

Now, I use tPacketCapture to do web traffic logging on my phone because I haven't compiled tcpdump for my phone yet. It uses Android 5's VPN service. After starting capture I get a key icon on the top line.

Sliding down from that top line should give me a link that says "Network may be monitored", which should then give me a dialog to stop this VPN and the capture.

Instead when I slide down from that top line on this phone I just cannot find it anywhere. WHERE DID IT GO!? Do I REALLY have to switch ROMs just to get this basic thing back?

[HELP] adb sideload "timed out waiting for package"

Hi guys, i'm new in this forum, so please pardon me if i did something wrong.

i really need a help now, my asus zenfone 2 (ZE551ML) got bricked Yesterday.

this is the timeline why my zenfone 2 got bircked:

1. I rooted my phone without cwm or anything else on around 2 weeks ago

2. Yesterday, i recieved the firmware update message (auto download) and i accidentaly clicked on update now without unrooting first.

3. My phone stuck on the logo screen, loading forever (softbrick?)

4. i've tried to factory reset and wipe all the system cache via recovery mode, but it didn't wok.

5. i looked at some forum and youtube said that i can flash rom my device to unbrick my device with 2 ways : via adb and microsd.

6. using adb sound promising, so i learnt how to flash rom via adb and i downloaded the latest firmware on the official website.

7. i tried to flash rom via adb: i've put the firmware zip on adb folder and open windows command in that folder, i connected my zenfone 2 with usb and start to "apply update from adb" and type "adb sideload xxxx.zip".

8. several times later i got message: "timed out waiting for package, installation aborted".

9. i repeated step 7 and 8 for almost 5 times and the results are same

Can someone help me? I'm really frustated now cause i can't using my phone :( or maybe share the reference about flash rom with microsd, because i've tried it but i don't really understand how to do it

Thx. in advance for all of you

I tried various ways to unlock bootloader they all failed, always a permissions error during the attempts. I managed to root my device first using the oneclick solution, though it gave me permissions errors along the way too, now I cannot get to bootloader normally any longer, however I can boot the device normally and get it up and running, I can also enter into recovery mode using ADB, so the device is not bricked as such, however I have no way of unrooting my device using fastboot, and try to restore it back to stock.
