[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDogWithoutFear:
Hello!

For some reason my board got fried so I took it to the warranty and they sent me to a place to drop off my phone. They changed it for free (great) but they also rooted my phone and left me a 4.1 ROM instead of the stock 4.2 as I had. I'm now having troubles regarding charging it (it's not detecting the cable correctly sometimes and think it's still plugged?) and it was fine before. So I'd like to see if it's a software issue before having to drop it off at the warranty for another full month.

OTA updates are not working obviously and Kies recognized my firmware as "up to date".

I don't want my phone rooted (I refused to do it right from the beginning) and I want my phone to be able to update normally.

Is there any way I can unroot my phone and leave it in the same condition I got my phone in originally? Stock ROM and all. I was happy with it.

Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soldmygf:
All needs to be Stock for unrooted phone.

Did they flash you a Stock/Custom Rom with a Stock kernel?

What does the phone info say ?

Are any root apps left in the menu? When yes, which ones?

To put in in a nutshell your aim is now to assure getting a stock Rom+Kernel and then unroot it with a Unroot App. Usually works like a charm ;)

Oh, and if you want to switch back to 4.2 you can get the according Stock Rom either here by searching for your (exact) phone model or try novafusion.pl if its an old Samsung Galaxy.
[Asus Padfone X and S] shattered519:
Hi, all.

I was messing around with Android Tweaker 2, zipaligning my apps, performing vague system tweaks and the like, when I rebooted my phone for the changes to take effect; however, the phone booted up, finished the booting animation, and where the home screen should be showing up only showed a black screen. From there I can only reboot again, reboot into STOCK recovery, or reboot into fastboot, which has limited function in an Asus device (inability to flash unsigned custom recovery images, inability to flash rom images, stock firmware images are unavailable ANYWHERE, etc.) My device WAS rooted, however, I did a factory reset from the stock recovery in hopes that the problem would be resolved, so I'm not sure if root access was retained. I've tried a lot of things, but what I need is access to adb to push some files, or just figure out what the hell happened to the device.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Details:

Asus Padfone X [4.4.2 stock rom]

WAS rooted

LOCKED bootloader

STOCK recovery

Fastboot is basically useless, given the "safeguards" Asus has implemented
[Asus Padfone X and S] daggorlad:
Read the CM12.1 for instructions on unlocking bootloader , there are instructions on booting from custom recovery using fastboot from there you can adb push the files to your phone as posted in the Nandroid Stock backup thread and install using TWRP.
[Asus Padfone X and S] shattered519:
Thanks for the advice.

I have consulted the CM12.1 thread, and I see the instructions, the first step of which is to "boot into CWM, CMRecovery, or TWRP." However, I do not have any of these custom recoveries flashed on my Padfone X. Is there a way I can boot custom recovery off an external microsd or something?

Note: upon attempting the "fastboot flash recovery CMrecovery.img" command, the cmd window returns the following:

target reported max download size of 1879048192 bytes
sending 'recovery' <11220 KB>...
OKAY [ 0.438s ]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED <remote: can't flash unsigned image>
finished. total time: 0.444s

EDIT: Problem has been resolved, used

fastboot boot twrp.img

and restored stock.

Followed all instructions to the best of my understanding, got close once, tried to find out what was wrong, messed it up even worse, have no idea what I'm doing...

Restarting my computer and then running exploit.bat will allow it to get a step farther, saying something about the daemon not being started, then it starts on port something.

After that it doesn't do anything.

Hitting Ctrl+C prompts the user to terminate or not, selecting no returns this:

Earlier today I got it to actually do something. Exploit.bat ran it's code until it said Success, then I ran root.bat until it stopped at the error message given in the video link in the OP.

Please help me figure out what's wrong. I've spent 12+hrs straight now trying to figure this out, installing, uninstalling, re-installing, etc etc, I've skipped work, Martial Arts training, ignored my girlfriend, and haven't eaten anything since I bought the phone after breakfast (its 11pm here now), I haven't even mentioned the nightmare I had to go through with the T-Mobile Store just to actually purchase the phone. I can't think of any other relevant information to provide, but if I've missed something let me know. Please, help! What do I need to do root my phone?

[ZenFone 2 General] ravian29:
Congrats to all ( both ZE551ML and ZE550ML users), bootloader has been unlocked without connecting to ASUS servers.

2.19.40.20 is also unlockable

New update 2.19.40.20 can be unlocked as well and Asus did not patch the hole. Thanks to [MENTION=6798799]oxydius7[/MENTION] for confirming this here

Bootloader of both ZE550ML and ZE550ML can be unlock if rom is on 2.19.40 or 2.19.40.20

Lets discuss, problems and unlocking related experience here.

How to unlock bootloader:

1. Update to 2.19.40.18 or 2.19.40.20

2. root it

3. make sure adb is insatlled and working

4. enter the following commands in cmd

adb shell (press enter)

su (press enter)

getprop ro.isn > /factory/asuskey ( press enter)

reboot bootloader ( press enter )

Phone will restart in bootloader and after updating itself phone will restart again and ASUS splash screen will be white ( locked bootloader has black screen, you will see difference by yourself)

5. download black splash screen for 551 from here

https://mega.co.nz/#!IlMGiZ7I!kepXRFda7cgNPWHQovkCZaMaD2zVF4UufAJT6YEDU3k

or for 550 from here

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3376376&d=1435127302

6. navigate to adb folder open cmd and type the following commands

adb reboot bootloader (press enter)

fastboot devices (press enter)

see if device is listed, write following

fastboot flash splashscreen splashscreen.img (press enter)

restart your phone and now black splash screen is back. Congrats your bootloader is now unlocked.

If you follow my steps there would not be any data loss from internal memory and sd card, but i will advice to take a backup in case if you are out of luck

"waiting for device"

does anyone know what i can do since adb wont detect my device
[ZenFone 2 General] Wilkij:
Patience

Just an observation and don't wish to offend anyone.

In following this entire thread, there are several people who probably should NOT be attempting to alter their devices at their current level of knowledge. I would recommend waiting while studying the progress of more senior members. Further, the methods being discussed here are not "officially" supported by Asus and possibly there will be simpler/supported methods in the future.

I understand that someone has to pioneer, but there are some who are better equipped to do so. After all, what does unlocking the bootloader accomplish at this time? Until there is a custom recovery and ROM development it does not add any functionality or benefit to the user. (Rooting, on the other hand, does permit freezing bloat and is easily accomplished by any of three methods.)

I strongly suggest waiting and watching for our less technical friends.

Just thinking.:o
[ZenFone 2 General] chubby65:
Couldn't have put it better myself

[ZenFone 2 General] dsplvd:
Hello everyone,

ZE550ML here, I grabbed the complete rom from the ASUS server 1 hour ago, and flashed the boot.img and droidboot.img corresponding to the 2.19.40 update, but after rebooting to fastboot mode after creating the asuskey file, fastboot says either 'fail to unlock rebooting in 5 seconds' or 'cannot get the necessary info 2'. These errors are in different attemps.

Can it be that ASUS patched the droidboot.img file? I'm downloading the file from #192 anyway.
[ZenFone 2 General] cieffe54:
Ok whole process (of 550) and splashscreen white. When I go to put the splash scree black to restart no longer splash screen it displays on the fastboot despite that, if I connect the phone to the PC is operating fastboot. Perhaps the file splashscreen.img is not the same but it is necessary that the 550?
[ZenFone 2 General] Kokumotsu:
sad thing is i usually dont have problems doing these things, been doing it since the Galaxy S came out

but this one has me in a dead end

wiping the cache seems to have somehow ruined my recovery end, cant access it

and when i boot into fastboot adb shows device not found. ill try later on today to manually add the driver to my pc. in hopes of it detecting it by then, but i sent a request service to asus ( maybe they might repair my phone)
[ZenFone 2 General] yakub234go:
Now i need to know who else with (ZE550ML) tried to unlock their bootloader & succeeded

And also so who else failed

& also the splashscreen img in the op is for both the devices or is it only for ZE551ML model
[ZenFone 2 General] lordpipa:
True, but unlocked bootloader leads to the custom recovery and custom roms. Everybody starts somewhere and as long as they mess with their own devices and not others they are good.
[ZenFone 2 General] dsplvd:
I can confirm that taking a shortcut and flashing only the droidboot.img file doesn't work. I think the bug relays in the update of the ifwi.zip files present in the 2.19.40 firmware, in the lines 7-12 of the update script.

package_extract_file("ifwi.zip", "/tmp/ifwi.zip");
ui_print("Verifing BOM token ...");
flash_bom_token("/tmp/ifwi.zip") || abort("BOM flashing failed");
ui_print("Updating IFWI ...");
flash_ifwi("/tmp/ifwi.zip");
show_progress(0.750000, 0);

Is the ifwi.zip file containing debug keys/tokens?

[ZenFone 2 General] Christopher876:
Windows boots differently than android and a couple of drivers would have to be made specifically for this phone. And you would have to modify how windows boots so that it would be able to boot onto here as how this phone boots up an OS.

Essentially, yes it is possible but many changes would have to be made to a Windows installation/image.

Black screen on Boot, Bootloader and Recovery =(

Damn, all was going fine, but flashing the black splashscreen on my ZE500ML ruined it =( so here is what has happened:

Followed the steps to unlock the bootloader, saw the white splashscreen, happy days, booted normally all good, so, it was time to bring back the black splashscreen, I flashed it using "fastboot flash splashscreen splashscreen.img" and right after this I flashed the TWRP.img file, using "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" from the TWRP thread, selected to reboot into recovery and now only the back light comes up, but no image, I can see the device using the "adb devices", so did a "adb reboot bootloader" and the same, I can see the device using "fastboot devices", but there is no image on the phone, only the backlight comes on, if I let the device boot normally, the device boots fine, but the image only shows when double tap or press the power button, the entire boot process is just a black screen. Tried flashing the black splashscreen again and did a reboot, did not work, tried flash the stock recovery also does not work :( the device is working, but cannot see anything during the boot process, bootloader and recovery, for now it's not an issue, but when ROMs start flowing, how will I be able to flash if there is no image on TWRP =(

Any ideas guys?
[ZenFone 2 General] cieffe54:
it's splashscreen.img. It's for ZL 551. You repeat the unlock procedure and will return to white. Everything will then be visible.
