Zenfone dual boot

I really would like to try this phone with cm12 but I am afraid that is still buggy and not worth the effort compared to stock, so I would like to know if there is a way to double boot, so maybe I can install cm12 on a microsd.

I remember the days I was able to do this with my first android phone the Galaxy s2.

Does anybody know if this possibilty could became a reality in the near future?

No, but its recommended to solve any incompatible app issues.

---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 PM ----------

No, its a hardware limitation. The radio only supports up to 2G connections on the second SIM.

---------- Post added at 12:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 PM ----------

You can still download the OTA update manually and place it on your SD card. Look in the index for download links.

---------- Post added at 12:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 PM ----------

Yes. You can find multiple guides here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61687944&postcount=4

I would suggest using the one click root for easier updates in the future.

Not right now, but it is likely that multiboot will be implemented in the future.

---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------

The radio only supports up to 2G, only SIM 1 can have 4G.

I think you flashed the wrong gapps or didn't flash them at all :P

Type this into fastboot:

adb sideload FIRMWARE.zip

Firmware.zip should be changed to whatever the zip is called.

---------- Post added at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 PM ----------

It's unlikely because that would require a whole new branch to be built with files we don't even have since ZF2 came with LP stock.

Blinking Error Screen

I installed the new update on my rooted phone accidentally and it went into a bootloop. I went into recovery mode and clicked erase cache, but my phone died before it was done erasing. Now whenever I start my phone after the ASUS loading screen, and sleeping android with a red warning signal and the text 'ERROR' start flashing every three seconds. I can get to the bootloader screen fine, but when I click recovery mode and the phone restarts, its just shows the blinking android error screen and I can get the recovery mode option by pressing power+up.

When plugged into my computer, adb doesn't recognize a device is connected (I have all the drivers). So I'm stuck right now.

Random phone freez

Hi,

My zenfone 2(2gb, 1080p version) is keep getting unresponsive whenever I get any kind of notification and calls(4 or 5 out of 10 times) also between using any app(more in whatsapp and in default messaging app).

Previously the phone was having random restart, it was 1 or 2 times in a month, it's not happening now but this unresponsive issue is happening more often.

Everytime I have to restart my phone using the power button.

I had just factory reset my phone(3rd time) and it didn't happen for two days but now it's just started again.

Is this a software issue or a hardware default.

Bricked my Asus Z00A! Please HELP!

I have a Asus ZenFone 2(Z00A)

I was followed [ROM][5.1.1][OFFICIAL]Paranoid Android-L[08/13/2015][Z00A][ZE551ML] to install Paranoid Android-L on my phone. I did it without unlocking the bootloader and I used Tethered Recovery to get into CWM. I did not know that unlocking the bootloader and UN-Tethered Recovery was a must (I'm a noob).

After bricking the phone I tried to unlock the bootloader and then installing TWRP(from http://daritoca.appspot.com/forum.xd...ocked-t3138547 and http://daritoca.appspot.com/xdaforu...sus-zenfone-2-flashing-recovery-mode-t3096596)

But instead I erased the stock recovery.:(

Now I don't have an OS installed in my phone(since I formatted /system), I have no recovery. On Booting the phone starts fastboot.

I Googled a lot and found this How to Recover a Bricked Asus Zenfone 2 Smartphone. Will I be able to recover my phone by following these steps? i.e.

1) Download the latest Stock ROM from the Asus website for my phone.

2) Copy the downloaded Stock ROM to the folder where I installed ADB.

3) Do a Tethered Recovery to get into CWM(Since I don't have any recovery on my phone) and Apply update from ADB.

4) Reboot

Will this work. I'm currently downloading the latest Stock ROM from the Asus website.
