[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Sterist:
I think I've just put in an hour reading the Q&A, but I still have one outstanding question.

my s4 is still on the MF9 bl (4.2.2 non-knox) running 4.3.1 (MJ4?) kernel+modem

I have tried 4.4.2 (NG2) kernel+modem but it was not compatible with the bootloader (4.2.2, MF9)

in theory, if the MJ4 & NG2 firmware were compatible, could this bypass the bootloader incompatibility?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
Only if someone created a patched kernel that fixes the bootloader issues. For example, Note 4 DevED has brightness issues on LP b/c of the KK bootloader. These isuues have been fixed by patching the LP kernel.

MultiSystem v1.3

Download the latest version from the main development thread!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] hsbadr:
Simple One-Click Installation

I've fixed the installation script by setting the required symlinks (this makes it a very simple one-click installation for future versions), but I'll keep it a bit complicated for everyone to go through the Q&A thread (posts #1-6) to learn more before being able to use it.

On a side Note, I'd recommend to backup your data via TitaniumBackup & only wipe system data before rebooting to a completely different ROM.

Good luck!

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logan4709:
Hi

The other day I was moving files around when I accidentally deleted both copies of my photos folder from my internal memory. All the recovery programs Ive found either require root or need to be running around 4.3. I was wondering if downgrading my firmware and rooting might give me a chance to recover the lost data or is it a lost cause?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gokussx4:
I understand the wifi hotspot won't work without rooting or paying for the wifi hotspot service. The usb tethering I thought was supposed to work though? I am able to get an ip address from the phone when usb tethering is turned on but can't even ping google.com. I am assuming that this isn't supposed to work but here's hoping that someone else figured out a way :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gokussx4:
I found a few posts on sprint's community site where sprint reps stated they disabled the use of usb and bluetooth tethering. The phone is still capable of turning those features on but sprint doesn't allow it. They then state pay for the hotspot costs and it will work though. So my guess is that the sales_code setting not only gets the wifi hotspot working but the usb tethering as well. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] -Apollo-:
Does it have to be a usb connection? If you have your MSL you can just do a couple of EPST edits and enable the native hot spot without root!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] S6Tether:
I'm having trouble getting my S6 to tether with my ASUS RT-AC68U router. I got my MSL number and changed the APN settings, and they work (I can use the wifi hotspot and USB tether with my laptop). However, when I plug in the USB to the router and have the router attempt to connect, it turns automatically off the USB tether on the S6! This doesn't happen with my Verizon HTC M8, with the same router. With the M8 I put it into tether mode and connect the router and away it goes! Any thoughts or ideas why?

Hi xenius9, awesome work you put together for the CM12 rom and here. One question:

Is it possible to flash the CM11_ZR_Kernel_v1_gamma_brightness.zip kernel when running your CM12.1 rom? Or is the functionality already built-in with that roms kernel?

I have an 8125 Cingular branded wizard and the one thing that drives me crazy is that the qwerty keypad does not light up on my phone when I slide it out. Is it supposed to? I read that the MDA keyboard has backlights, is my phone just broken?

Mine only lights up for short durtation after a key is pressed. I dont think they light up just by expanding the keyboard.

Dear All,

I hard bricked my ZE551ML 64GB by using the following sequence:

'fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img'

'fastboot flash fastboot recovery.img'

'fastboot flash fastboot boot.img'

'fastboot flash fastboot system.img' <-- got error only at this stage

So don't do it it is totally wrong.

Now I got the usb logo when i go to fastboot, see attached image.

I can see a procedure for Zenfone 5 to recover from this error here:

http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2014/11/how-to-unbrick-zenfone-5-and-zenfone-6_8.html

My question is does the same procedure exists for Zenfone 2 and where to download all the files?

Thanks
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xcaliber:
I believe most of the programs there should also work for the ZF2. I would give this procedure a try, and I wish I could get my hands on a Bricked device to try this. But remember, DON'T use the ZF5/6 images!

Get the stock images for the ZF2 from: https://www.asus.com/Phones/ZenFone_2_ZE551ML/HelpDesk_Download/
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cde2006:
What are FZ DnX, IFWI, FW DnX and OS images files ?

How to extract them from the site you mentioned?

Another issue, is my PC refuses to regonise the ZF2 when connecting to USB, saying MTP Android USB driver failed to install....
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xcaliber:
I have no experience with FZ DnX, IFWI, FW DnX files, but the OS image file is on the site I posted.

Follow my link. Once there, expand the list 'Firmware' and download firmware Version WW_2.15.40.10. Once its downloaded, open the zip file. Inside should be a System.img file. Extract the System.img file into your Fastboot folder. This is the OS image the guide is referring to.

Ask around for the meaning of the other files. Meanwhile, I will research more about those files later tomorrow and get back with any info I can find. Good luck!

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddfault:
When you plug your phone into the computer, does the phone show up in the device management? Typing devmgmt.msc into the windows 7 start menu or the start run menu on XP is the fastest way to get to Device Manager.

Is the device already known by your computer?

What does device manager think it is?

If its unknown, please let us know what the Hardware Ids and Compatible Ids for this device show up as. In device manageer, you can open the devices properties and under the details tab choose Hardware Ids and Compatible Ids. you could screen shot these with Alt + PrtScn and use mspaint to save them off. Otherwise you have to use Ctrl + C to copy them out . You can choose all lines by selecting the first and while holding Shift, select the last. Then you can Ctrl + C to copy all of them out.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chinaphonearena:
Looks like you've flashed incorrectly.

Should be

fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

What you've essentially done (or tried to do) is flashed over fastboot with 4 different images. Only the first line of commands you used is correct.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cde2006:
Yes got this sequence from this forum,,, anyway I go the phone replaced now and all is fine.

Thanks people for the help.

I won't be rooting this phone until there is a more safe proven way to do it.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lesmo_sft:

Same issue

---------- Post added at 04:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 AM ----------

I put my 64gb sd in my ZF2 that I originally partitioned for my LG Optimus Pro and I moved a bunch of apps to the SD with link2sd and the first time I rebooted, the same screen with the USB logo and a full progress bar showed up. It won't recognize any fastboot or adb commands even though the ASUS adb is showing up in device manager. Nothing else shows up. In devices and printers I get Moorefield. The phone randomly reboots and goes back to the same screen over and over and each time the asus adb disappears from device manager and then returns. I found a guide on the zenfone 5 that looks promising, using the intel flash tool, however it requires the ZenFone 2 raw firmware files and I can't find them... Hopefully someone could help me salvage my ZF2 cuz I was really beginning love the phone... Thanks ahead of time for anyone that looks into this for me!
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] konsolen:

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlaw:
Lol @ "got sequence on this forum" and "more safe proven way."

You didn't read the instructions carefully enough and made a big mistake as a result. The correct sequence was given. You just didn't read it carefully. Lesson learned.

Hopefully you can unbrick it.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harfainx:
No offense, but this type of thing is what happens when people just copy/paste and don't understand what they're doing.

What you did was overwrite the fastboot partition each time you flashed. You flashed a 2GB system img on top of your fastboot partition. This probably seemed like it locked up and you either unplugged or turned it off. This likely caused a corrupt partition.

Reading is key when you do anything with your phone.

This is perfectly safe. This is the way it works for all devices. It has nothing to do with the files or the phone. This was 100% user error. Simple as that.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OfficerJimLahey:
I wonder if this device has cascading boot as well (that is, if the bootstrap fails with internal memory version, will it try the external SD next)?

If so, you will need a debrick.bin from someone else (I could provide for a 551 - hopefully a 80MB image is big enough to contain bootstrap), and a microSD that is as large, or larger than your ROM (16GB, 32GB, or 64GB depending on model).

Dead ZF 2

I have a Zenfone 2 ( ZE551ML). I had installed a rom few days earlier ( Blissrom ). Worked like a charm. Then today , i took the phone out of my pocket to notice it's switched off . It's got atleast 80 % charge. I put it for charging, it doesn't charge and there's no LED light glowing. I'm rooted and unlocked on bootloader.

I cannot get into bootloader or recovery. Hence ADB sideload isn't possible. While using ADB tools , i get the error Device not found. I've tried various other charger but doesn't charge. I connect it to my Zenpower ( Asus power bank ) , the power bank starts to discharge but my phone isn't getting switched on. I remember installing the rom properly according to the forum. When i connect the device to the laptop, in device manager , it shows MOOREFIELD with an exclamatory mark. Is there anything i can do? My phone is still in warranty period but since i have unlocked my bootloader and rooted my deivce, will i get warranty ?

Thanks.

[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LucasBS1:
Tried the same method with CWM.img

Same result: fastboot frozen (volume buttons not responsive, and PC no longer sends commands)

To flash the stock recovery I would need to back it up first

But guess what's needed to backup ?

Yes, a temporary flashed bootloader with ZIP support

Would you know someone, who knows someone, who knows an master from MTI or Hogwarts or Narnia that knows an alternative ?

I would flash a mod right away if I could backup the original first...

(Unless, as I don't know exactly how this works, the ROM might come with the bootloader (?) Because the stock ROM I can download easily anywhere (already did))

Hi,

Did you managed it to work? I have exactly the same problem. If I even flash twrp or cwm I still can't boot into it, there is only "no command" message.

I can't get any help anywhere, it makes me crazy. Do you have any custom recovery that worked for you after flashing?? I'm even starting to think that my device is broken somehow.
