Hi guys,

I'm getting a error in Whatsapp when trying to play videos sent by message or by status. "There was an error playing the video" when I try to play videos in status, mine and of my contacts, and if I send a video to my contacts, the video play ok in the preview where I select it and put a label, but after it was sent i can't reproduce it in the chat screen, I hit play but the video is frozen for me, but my contact can see it normal. It's not always, after some time it simple works, but randomly stops working again.

Tried many ROMs, RR, NutOs, Mokee, all of them show this issue.

My question is: It's a bug of the rom, some codec maybe, or Whatsapp itself?

Theres any way to fix it?

My device is an Z00A/ZE551.

Hi - sorry, I had made a thread for this before I saw that this topic existed.

I have an ASUS Zenfone (ZE551ML running Android 5.0), manufacturer refurbished. No updates installed. The one-click roots won't run on my PC for whatever reason... so I'm trying to unlock the bootloader. But the one-click tools to do that don't seem to want to cooperate, so is there a method to do it from the command line, manually?

Best,

Lineage OS 15.1 on ZE551ML??

Hello xda! I have an Asus Zenfone 2 Deluxe ZE551ML and I've been trying to find different custom ROMs for it but, none of them appeal to me more than LineageOS.

I've had Lineage OS 14.1 on my old Samsung J5 and I really liked it.

I've seen Lineage OS 15.1 ROMs for the ZenFone 2 laser, but i don't know if it will work.

If anyone knows about any Lineage 15.1 build for this model, please let me know!

Help with bricked Device

can somebody help me?

i just trying unlocking my ZE550ML bootloader and mistakenly used tool for ZE551ML (even in the tool thread it was applyable to Z008 devices, but the files inside the tool are for Z00A)

And I tried using xFSTK to recover my device but, the problem is when xFSTK done with FW thing it boots up the phone and cant finish with OS thing and it try to reconnecting to device until attempt 20 and stop with error. I just need to get past thing section of xFSTK booting up device when it was downloading so it can download the OS.

Ive tried using

the general ifwi .bins ( https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2oMRhweQ4CHR21YaDdXdUNlOGs/view ),

IFWI & FW DnX from Z008 LP ROM ver. 2.20.40.156 ,

a MM Bootloader Upgrade IFWI & FW Dnx from http://www.theflamingskull.com/zenfone2.html (the Z008 MM Bootloader that have ver. 4.21.40.112),

a MM RAW ROM IFWI.bin that have ver._4.21.40.311.

But no luck

Also my is my bricked situation is abnormal ?

my device not vibrating , no led, no screen it just blank all the time , but my PC can detect it using IntelSOC, even it is possible to recover from this situation?

also i have read the forums about leaving phone connected to pc for about 40 mins, but its not working. I also have fully charged my phone

Thank You

Stuck with my Z00ED

I am kinda stuck with my ZE500KL(Z00E) which is on Lollipop 5.0.2 (WW_12.8.5.222_20151225)

I wanted to install a custom ROM a few years ago but i thing after rooting & flashing TWRP the recovery mode wasn't working anymore (no broken Android picture, the screen just freezes and nothing happens till I cut power.

I can access Fastboot mode and fastboot oem device-info tells me the bootloader is not unlocked.

Tried following some of the Tutorials but nothing worked. The problem is that i am stuck on 5.0.2.

Whenever i try to update, the phone reboots and (i think) tries to enter recovery mode to apply the update and freezes just as when i access recovery mode manually.

Edit:

Fixed it myself by re flashing the latest signed stock recovery image.

Rockchip 3026 firmware compatability as per lexibook tablet master 3

I've searched for info about this and not found anything that answered my question.

I have a lexibook Tablet Master 3 that was made by rock chip that seems to be the same as the rk 3026 board. As long as the chipsets and components are the same the rom for the rk 3026 should work on the lexibook ... correct?

( of course the boot logo, theme and bloatware will all be different...)

I believe all they do is just put a lexibook cover on the rk 3026 unit.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr. Stinkfinger:
As per your reply...

Yeah I already read all those posts you sent me in your reply SEVERAL times. Its not so much "A-specific" to the software, its more as per: If the chipsets and components are all the exact same in both models, shouldnt a rom written for one work on the other?

And the answer Ive come to find out is yes. AS LONG as the O.s. or any of its operating files aren't written to a specific serial number on a chipset or componant.

Where a cell phone would run into many instances of this due to sim cards , mei and other device identify serialization , The tablet has none of these and is using drivers that only call out for a brand and model of chipset or component Not its serial or I.d. number.

As long as both rom's were written for the same exact same device... yes they will .

Hi everyone,

(sorry for my bad english, I'm Italian)

two days ago I've buy an used Zenfone 2 ZE551ML 64gb ROM, 4gb RAM.

The seller tell me only display wasn't working.

I put it charging immediately, and bot LED and vibrating working sussefully.

But, no battery logo on the display (display KO).

So, I changed the display and when was charging, battery logo was ok.

But... a strange think happens.

Few minutes later, still charging, no BOT led, no battery logo...

I push botton to turn on it, but was dead... no vibrating, no led, nothing!

I tried to change battery, change usb dock, but nothing helps.

At the last chance, I plug it to PC.

When I plug it to PC, moorefield device appears but I don't push any botton!

Immediately, when I plug it, moorefield device appears.

If I push power button for few seconds, moorefield device disappears, but if I release button, reappers immediately... so strange.

Last chance, I tried to flash it with xFSTK but don't work.

Here the messages:

- GetAck - ER04;

- LogError;

- Error Code: 40 - ER04 - SecurityInit

Then xFSTK aborting...

Any tips??

Thank you so much.

i assume you work in windows environment.

1. open device manager.

*is there any changes while you plugged or unplugged the usb connector?

2a. when there is no changes. then stop. because you have to workout the phone usb port first.

2b. if there is changes in device manager list. observe, is the new device has its driver installed properly and has its right driver.

3. prepare the adb and fastboot materials. then, we can continue the discussion here...

started a thread without taking this one into account so it got closed anyway, my topic/question/asking for advice was this:

Hi !, i´ve been without a smartphone for about 10 months and im currently contemplating getting a zenfone 2, the 4gb of ram version obviously, and i´ve been thinking how does the future looks for the zenfone 2? i mean sure, asus has already released the kernel source and most would think "OMG great! ROMs galore incoming!!" but that doesn´t seem to be the case. also, as far as updates go, for some reason i don´t see the zenfone 2 getting past an android 5.1 update.

maybe it is very hard (or just a pain in the ass) to develop for the intel cpu ?

im also considering the alcatel onetouch idol 3 wich everyone seems to love specially because of the price (and those JBL speakers), but im also considering getting a samsung galaxy alpha because the snapdragon 801 version sits right in the middle of the two price wise (check amazon US) , and the alpha camera records 60fps video wich i love, i know the LG G3 originally didn´t have 60fps video but got it later from right here on XDA,

so do you think the comunity will warm up to the ZF2 and start getting content out? (like a mod to capture 60 fps video on the zenfone 2 later down the road)
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PianistOne111:
Hold on. I assume that the Galaxy Alpha that you can get for around $250 is the SM-G850A. I hope you're aware that you can't root that and you won't be able to anytime soon. The SM-G850M, which you can root, is around $350 last time I checked.

yes that is the version i mean, i DID NOT know it can´t be rooted, why is that? i don´t know how much the cpu might have to do with it but i thought qualcomm phones were favored by developers? or is it because of samsung? thanks for the reply.!
