[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Techronico:
There's also an Asus representative lurking around these forums. Did he say anything about passing along some requests from us end users? The bootloader unlock should be as important as having kernel source, but GPL only compels companies to provide the source and not the unlock. Back a few years ago in 2011, we successfully positioned HTC to provide a bootloader unlock method and the result is the current method they provide for all of their devices.

Asus, if you are reading this, please respond with at least an assurance that the will be an unlock method. We are the user that influence our wives, sisters, mothers, grandmothers, co-workers, business partners on which device to get. We are more effective at advertising than Apple. We are your boots on the ground in "next device" mindshare. This device wins on the price/spec/value ratio, however it is a mindless Hercules if the bootloader remains locked. It will go down as one of the devices that we nerds "tried out" in between our real desired device.

Newb here, but just so I understand this properly, this is a temporary custom recovery where I can flash zip files, and the custom recovery will be gone as soon as reboot it? Just wanted to make sure I get this correct, want to flash the disguised zip version of Cerberus. Thanks in advance.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] mrbubs3:
You are correct, sir! Although to be more precise, it is like booting an OS from a thumb drive, if your computer was your phone and your actual computer were your thumb drive.

[MENTION=2388665]TheSSJ[/MENTION]. How long does it usually take to do a backup? TWRP has been running for 15 mins trying to backup and the status bar shows no progress at all. I'm not sure if it is working or not?:confused:
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] grorg:
It takes a few minutes for me to make full backup without compression
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] TheSSJ:
It's definitely hung up...backup takes no more than 3-4 Minutes..

I don't understand this...other than compiling it for x86 there are really no modifications done :-\

Tomorrow i will check
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Bushcrafter:
Okay thanks. I have tryed it twice, it keeps going the same thing. Maybe I'm jinxed.:D
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] fuzzybuffalo:
It was doing that to me until I figured out I had to unhook the phone from the usb cable before I started the backup.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Bushcrafter:

Well I finally got it too work! :D I downloaded your new zip file and replaced the old one. Then I tried it again, no luck.

So I thought maybe it has to be an issue with the phone being rooted. I unrooted the phone and tried it again. Success!

Moral of the story,don't take any thing for granted. :) [MENTION=2388665]TheSSJ[/MENTION] You might want too make a note of this on your first post.

Thanks for your quick responses to my questions and the new zip file.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] TheSSJ:
Hi,

thanks for the feedback..to be honest I don't think that rooting is the cause of the freezing backup - mine is doing backups although being rooted. There has to be another issue which I don't see...:(
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Bushcrafter:
Well I hope you can figure it out. I wish I could help you figure it out but I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to coding.:)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Bushcrafter:
Update: I tryed messing with backup again. Three failed attempts in a row. On the fourth attempt, when TWRP flashed it went straight into set timezone mode. I set it for my timezone then proceeded to do a backup and it worked fine. I'm not sure if this has something to do with the failed freezing attempts or not. I just thought I would mention it.:D

[ZenFone 2 Android Development] vampirefo:
Post more info, what zip are you trying to flash?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] TheSSJ:
If I understood correctly, then the EVENT_LOGGING option won't be really useable as it is only for touchscreen issues:

Unfortunately I really don't know what I should have done wrong...the boardconfig is bare minimum now, CM12 sources taken, replaced bootable/recovery with the TWRP one and then compiled :(

Despite the fact that I don't like your expression, also backup and restore are hanging from time to time.

Just restart the recovery procedure again and it will work eventually (on mine it worked right away). Be sure to set the proper timezone for your country and unplug any USB cable, maybe this really does the trick

Quick question. Is this a temporary or permanent custom recovery? Thank you for a great effort.

It is temporary. TWRP is lost as soon as you reboot. You need to run the procedure each time.

[ZenFone 2 Android Development] social-design-concepts:
Some of these flash fails maybe caused update-binary being compiled for ARM not x86
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] TheSSJ:
@vampirefo: Please correct me if I am wrong, but this seems that the update-binaries used in these zip files were made for ARM and not for x86 CPU and thus the flashing fails as the executables are not in a valid format - right?

EDIT: social-design-concepts already confirmed :D

@29y6145: I think to get this to work, you need to replace the updater-binary in the zip files firs. So this has nothing to do with a buggy recovery, but with incompatible zip files
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] 29y6145:
yes

Iam test flash Max audio ok install very good

Because update-binary support X86

Flashing the if.bin & dnx aren't unlocking.

After rooting with TWRP method, will i be able to update OTA without getting stuck into Bootloop???
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] TheSSJ:
I think it is written in many threads now, but here again: You need to unroot with SuperSU first before applying OTA. Also make sure you don't delete any apps installed in /system, just freeze them
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] dineshdotcom2000:
can someone give screenshot how to that. Im on v.2.18 NON rooted. i want to root it, nut coz AZP 2 gives frequently Frimware updates. I want to know the process.

[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
There's already plenty of steps and information noted through the forum. If you want to know how to do it, look through and do some reading. :good:
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] TheSSJ:
Do you by any chance know what ifwi and dnx do? Also if I can help somehow let me know - since the bootloader is compiled for x86 (isn't it droidboot.img?) couldn't it be reverse engineered (disassembled) to see where the signature verification is done and patch it out?

Good ol' cracking days :D
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] social-design-concepts:
droidboot.img is not a bootloader it is a provisioning os

ifwi / dnx are the firmware files think like a bios / uefi

token.bom is a validation file

I don't own a device with this but I think the sl_vmm.bin has something to do with the bootloader
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] TheSSJ:
Ahhh, I think I read something about sl_vmm...something like a sandboxed environment which makes reverse engineering harder. You wrote this in this very thread :D

Well, I am not the best with this kind of protection unfortunately :(

Is there any way to pack this recovery to the recovery.img maybe by cwm image extractor...

[ZenFone 2 Android Development] TheSSJ:
[MENTION=2968801]grorg[/MENTION]

To be honest I wouldn't bother trying - only because there is the "if.bin" file included in the OTA it doesn't mean that the BL will be unlocked by this. Just take the original recovery and fill the last let's say 256 Bytes with 00, then flash it and try to boot from it. If it loads it up, then the BL is unlocked as it doesn't check the image signature anymore

I wonder if this has anything to do with what I posted about unhooking the USB cable?

Before I unhook the cable, I finish out the script first. After TWRP loads, I hit any key, then type quit and hit enter, then I think you have to hit any key again. Once the script is finished I unhook the cable, and I have never had it fail to work since I started doing that.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] ravian29:
i did not try this, i am going to try it and will report back:highfive:

closing cmd and unhooking the cable after, worked. I am not sure it will again work or not i tested it once
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] TheSSJ:
As it really really bothers me that this recovery is so unstable, I went ahead and deleted all EGL related entries. It worked on the first try - after retrying, it worked again :)

If you guys would test it out and give your confirmation, I could go ahead to update TWRP to the latest build and also create an image file for the unlocked bootloader owners :)

But if the bugs aren't removed, there is no sense in having an unstable recovery flashed on the phone...

I went to download an App and was told that I had insufficient storage. Sure enough nearly all of my phone storage was used up. After some poking around I found out that the culprit was a ton of imapupsync.eml files in my com.google.android.gm directory. I go in and clear them out now but tons of them get created each day anywhere from 2 to 8mb each. It was never a problem before I'm thinking I must have changed something checked a box or an option. Preliminary research points to Gmail but I don't see anything in there that would fix it. Can anyone offer any insight? I've noticed my phone battery drains faster too. I've been messing with new launchers maybe that's what triggered it? my S4 running Muniz_ri's OC1 stock with Hola Launcher

Thanks all!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] whowatchlist:
You guys should do your research lol

Google added a feature to use other email types to gmail.

IMAPupsync

break it down

IMAP

A protocol used by Outlook, Apple mail and others. IMAP needs to store mails in files. To help storing it in one of their servers, google stores them on your phone.

up + sync

They are used to keep servers up to date.

To avoid this use non-IMAP email address. It is probably a bug that these are accumulating report them to google.
