may i know if zenui rom can install any tweak mod such as pure performance or fluid engine ? anyone tried ? about battery life?
[ZenFone 2 General] mhp1995:
Nice find :good: will update my guide
[ZenFone 2 General] mhp1995:
No i don't feel its low... Maybe you have incorrect settings/tweaks in Viper4Android... Check your settings it may be because of wrong settings only and yeah also download VolumeSteps+ module (increases volume) :)
[ZenFone 2 General] mhp1995:
Me too :( Wanted SONY'S BRAVIA ENGINE on my phone... I had asked a question about this in Help section but no-one replied :( You can try yourself but there is a HIGH RISK OF BOOTLOOP (thats the reason i didn't tried it...too lazy to flash the rom from scratch and it takes hell of a time to get the settings and stuff back on the phone)... So it's better to wait until we get full confirmation on this

Hi Sir Dev

1.Sir im Doing the Method 3 Root and it was successful to root my Zenphone 2 Z3551ML 4GB

but my problem is i have application nid the phone to be rooted..

I try My application with method 3 Rooted,

it says This Application Only Work on SuperSU Pro Version. I try to update binaries but it doesn't work.

My Question After i rooted my phone using Method 3 can i uninstall SuperSU then install another SuperSU Pro? no damage on my phone?.

Using This Thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

2. I have my Xiaomi Redmi Phone. 4.2 Android Version.

I rooted it using iRoot and the application i've said in no. 1 its working.

Its easy to use u can root/unroot using computer in one click.

[IMG="rooted RedMI Phone"]http://imageshack.com/a/img909/3772/3ov0rj.jpg[/IMG]

I cant try iRoot on my Zenphone 2 4g Because its New and my knowledge about unbricking/Flash/SystemRestore is not sure.

Can anyone developer try this iroot if working on Zenphone2 4g just a Favor

as u can see in image update said:

"1. Added support for Samsung S6, LG G3 and other models

2. significantly improve the success rate of 4.4,5.0,5.1 system"

This is the link of i root : iRoot Link

[IMG="Update Iroot"]http://imageshack.com/a/img538/4582/dCjA40.jpg[/IMG]

by the way the application i was said not working on SuperSu is "XmodGames".

Thank you dev a big help for me and for other reading this.
[ZenFone 2 General] mhp1995:
I don't think XMODGAMES is compatible with our phone yet...I personally tried this app and its asking me to root although i am rooted..It is not a problem of rooting...your phone is already rooted...Its just that XMODGAMES is not compatible with our device yet...Also iroot won't root your zenfone 2.... You can root your zenfone 2 only via these 3 options... Maybe in near future devs will add support for our devices on both XMODGAMES as well as iroot....

Thanks !

Thanks mate for your wonderful effort.

Keep up the good work. Cheers ! :good:
[ZenFone 2 General] KaiStone:
Yes Youtube works well with V4A if you do the audio_policy editing.

Someone lost sound cause they donot do exactly as my guide, such as breaking the syntax. They may remove one more "}" symbol so Android cannot load the failure audio_policy file.

Safe way, and V4A will work well with every playback apps like it did in Kitkat :o
[ZenFone 2 General] mhp1995:
I lost sound...it can happen because of that... I will try once again and will report back and if it works for me will update my guide... I took it down so that other people wont have problem... I had to flash my entire phone from scratch :(... Will test it fully and then update... Can u upload ur audio_policy....so maybe we can just push that file on our devices it would be easy...
[ZenFone 2 General] mhp1995:
UPDATE: Ok i tried this and i removed the first part pf the code and i must say it works... Viper4android works with mx player but i have a problem on playerpro now... I noticed when i removed the code v4a didn't work on PlayerPro.... Anyway we can make playerpro work?? and sorry it was my mistake at first i had removed one "}" and it messed up everything.... Will update my guide...it would be awesome if there was some workaround for playerpro...
[ZenFone 2 General] KaiStone:
You probably break the syntax of the file.

Test with my audio_policy.conf that I include in zip attachment bellow. I don't think they modify it in almost cases so it should work with all firmware version.

Maybe you should give people this file instead of guide them editing it.
[ZenFone 2 General] mhp1995:
thanks :good: can u check if it works with PlayerPro as i use this music player only
[ZenFone 2 General] KaiStone:
Sorry have to tell you that it works flawlessly with PlayerPro.

I have tested PlayerPro with default settings (clean install) or with DSP pack + EQ. V4A works well even DSP + EQ are activated, but I donot like the combination of them so much. And V4A even works well with Audio Wizard. You can also active both them 3 on, they will work perfectly together. On my own, I only active V4A, it's enough for me.

Hmmm, double check your settings and give me more details about the trouble you are facing. Try to clean all settings of PlayerPro then reboot first.
[ZenFone 2 General] mhp1995:
ok yeah its working now... I just re-installed playerpro and the driver status in v4a displays "processing: Yes" .... thank u so much :good: and sorry i took ur guide down :o
[ZenFone 2 General] KaiStone:
Glad to hear good news.

This guide is for everyone, both you and me wanna make everything better. So nothing's personal here, no offence.

Just 1 thing you should do now is replacing the guide with the modified audio_policy.conf. To prevent people from making wrong syntax file and have no sound too.

Happy that it finally works :fingers-crossed:

Awesome :good: time to un-root and re-root again with this tool :D btw thanks for informing... will give u credits in my post....btw what abt1 click root tool for linux...It is not updated so it might cause issues if we do not un-root rite although i see some .sh files in this zip for linux... So does that mean it can be used for both linux as well as windows?
[ZenFone 2 General] hi-phile:
I really appreciate this thread it helped me convert my CN to WW. One thing I found out was that I didn't need to put the UL-Z00A-WW-2.18.40.12-user.zip file onto an external SD card after updating the boot loader image files using fastboot. After updating the boot loader, I copied the the file to root of the internal SD card and renamed the WW to CN, and then after restarting in normal mode, it found a local update and upgraded my phone.
[ZenFone 2 General] saurabhrck:
Best would be to unroot and re-root.

Yes, .sh is for linux with updated script.

FYI now the un-root script can also uninstall xposed. if user wants.
[ZenFone 2 General] mhp1995:
cool :cool: will try all this...first let me update my guide...So for linux users do they just have to run root.sh? Sorry i haven't used linux i dont know anything about it...can u give steps for installing in linux

Update: OK so i rooted my device and installed latest xposed framework...Everything went smoothly
[ZenFone 2 General] KaiStone:
It should work with other devices, at least my LG G2. But in G2, I need to remove 1 more syntax.

You can test with any device you want. Don't worry cause this trick does not make brick, only causes audio problem if failure.

stuck on flashing

hi, i'm stuck on flashing my zenfone 2 via adb tool....i already follow all the instruction but when i want to update the firmware its always said *cannot read 'UL-Z00A-WW-2.17.40.12-user.zip' *

my device originally CN ver. but it has WW_2.13.40.13 when i bought it

please help anyone :(
[ZenFone 2 General] Ozzzva:
indeed a really comprehensive and useful guide but TS can i compliment that ASUS driver with this?

https://software.intel.com/en-us/an...ion-instructions-for-intel-android-usb-driver

...cos i got stuck with the adb devices process while using the Asus driver but soon after i installed this, I am able to start the sideload process without much fuss. I mean no offence, but just here to share with all the bros and sis. Maybe someone wise could verify if this is indeed better than Asus Driver used previously? =)
[ZenFone 2 General] mhp1995:
Thank u :) but i am sorry i am not able to get u... If u mean that should i install these latest drivers then i can only say that you should...If everything is working fine with previously used Asus Driver then u dont need to update...Although there might be some bug fixes etc...I remember some Windows 8 users were facing problem and this latest build fixed there issues... So its entirely up to u... If everything is working fine no need to update...If u are experiencing some issues u should un-install the previous drivers and install these latest drivers...
[ZenFone 2 General] Ozzzva:
Probably solution for adb device not detecting your handset

No, I meant flashing of new firmwares. In 3.1, I have followed closely to the guide you have provided but when i hit "adb devices" in step 3.2 as per your guide, its a blank whereby no devices were detected. So i installed those drivers which helped me through the flashing process. I thought that I should post it here in case anyone have the same issues as me while attempting to flash their unrooted device. Btw, i'm using a WW variant and I am just keen to contribute so that the zenfone 2 users could save alittle time running around for solution when they have the same problem. The other contents in your entry I have not tried, but I guess they should be pretty much perfect. Cheers and keep up the good job bro. =)

bootloop

Hello there.. I have trouble mith my ZE551ML 4/32 1,8Ghz..

I already follor the tutorial to change SKU from CN/TW to WW..

After that I follow the one click root tutorial..

but after I root my zenfone become bootloop.. I've already tried to enter the recovery mode, that show error sentence, I already hold down the up volume button + power button and release it together but there's nothing happened, still show error in recovery mode.. what should I do?

thanks a lot..

You should press hold down power button and then press volume up. Also you can try to flash prerooted rom
[ZenFone 2 General] monkeysea:
What if I already installed greenify. whether to uninstall first and then unroot?
[ZenFone 2 General] DMoLiTi0n:
Hi!

I Zenfone2, model CN ZE551ML version, upgrade to MR6-LRX21V.WW-ASUS_Z00A-2.17.40.12_20150515_6168_user for Recovery, but I have no OTA update version 2.18. I'm not root.

I have several questions:

1. If I download the version 2.18, to update I have to follow the same steps you did with the 2.17 ??

Using ADB command prompt flash files by using fastboot commands and code:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img .......:confused:

2. If you downloaded the version 2.18, the official website of ASUS and get into the SD card by changing the name of CN by WW, update or I will fail? :confused:

3. Is there any way to stop the WW version you skip future OTA updates? :confused:

4. When you open the APP "zentalk" language is CN although ROM is WW. Any solution?

I hope help. :angel:

Thank you very much.
[ZenFone 2 General] corrsea:
No.4 is easy. Just uninstall the app. All it does is open the forum in your browser. Just google 'Asus zentalk', you will get the English version. Bookmark it in your browser and save the norman to your home screen and you will have the equivalent.

Edit. Just had a look at the mobile site. If you press the 4 squares top left it brings up 3 options. Press on the bottom one and you will get options to switch language. Choose the third (global) for English.
[ZenFone 2 General] saurabhrck:
no need to uninstall. Just unroot with old tool and re-root with the new
[ZenFone 2 General] monkeysea:
sorry I mean xposed. then after re-root can I install new upgrade xposed framework directly?
[ZenFone 2 General] Val3r10:
Could someone got the difference of this rooting "method 3" with the other one-click, for instance, to consider it safe "not to unroot" before the OTA ?

As a matter of facts, root is made by a couple of files which are there any way, whatever method I'm using to place them....

Does it make sense ?

Actually unrooting before appling OTA is not such a heavy duty, but my real goal would be finding out some system apps I could safely remove (I'm guessing those later updated in the data partition... the system apk became unuseful, then)

So I'm trying to figure out what exactly becomes broken, causing bootloops
[ZenFone 2 General] RGoody:
I got a bootloop from an OTA update after using one-click-root. Thats not my problem...

I cleared everything and I re-installed official firmware. Now, I don't have any google apps. Is there a way to like sideload the lollipop gapps or install them some other way?
[ZenFone 2 General] corrsea:
I have a CN zf2 that came with playstore installed. This google installer apk was on the phone so presumably the vendor used it to install playstore and the service framework etc.

[ZenFone 2 General] RGoody:
I had someone on ZenTalk help me out. I was flashing CN when I should have been flashing WW. I had thought that I was using the right firmware because I didnt even think the wrong firmware (in this case CN) would even boot. Unfortunately, I keep getting an ADB error. I might just clear everything (again) and start from square one

---------- Post added at 04:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 AM ----------

OK so now, It won't flash WW firmware, only CN. I'm in the USA, so shouldnt I be using WW?

I get an error at ~60% loaded WW firmware using adb.

---------- Post added at 04:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 AM ----------

I think it may have been because I accidentally flashed a CN boot/droidboot/recovery/system .img earlier... trying again with WW version of above images
[ZenFone 2 General] saurabhrck:
the "other" 1 click method use a temporary CWM recovery to flash file. And this one uses fast boot to flash.

With the latest oneclick that I have posted does not require one to unroot before update. You can apply OTA update while being rooted.

The problem with asus firmware is that if you remove any system file no matter what, System will not accept the update. So best is to keep a backup of all system file you have removed. Or you can manually edit the updater script in the OTA to remove checking for those files and then update which is a lot more work. Anyway The difference between all this root I think is the method of delivering those su file into the system. And that time those scrpits will change something on the system, that will determine whether you can update with or with out rooted. For example you can update with root if you use the latest method. Its all in the /file/installer script. you can have a look inside those files with a simple notepad.

---------- Post added at 11:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 AM ----------

yes, You can. just remove xposed before each update and install it after update
[ZenFone 2 General] DragoonHP:
Latest oneclick method being the Method 3, right? (EDIT: Just noticed that you indeed meant Method 3)

And if you don't mind answering, why does the OTA update work with this method?
[ZenFone 2 General] saurabhrck:
Yes. That one. But with the latest files I have posted.

Actually I can't confirm the actual reason. The installer is made by shakalaca. I confirmed with him. He only mentioned that the installer has been changed.
[ZenFone 2 General] DragoonHP:
Can you please give the link?

Also, I had previously rooted my phone through Method 1? Can I just remove SuperSu and root via your method? Or will I have to flash the device with stock version (or is there some easy method )?

Sorry for asking so many questions but I'm really new to these things.
[ZenFone 2 General] saurabhrck:
I never used 1st method. So the best I can confirm is unroot via supersu app itself, update and root with new file.

It will not..unless you use fastboot and used it to:

This is the same as doing a factory reset after clearing the cache.
