I've placed the R9 ROM onto the external SD card, but I can't seem to mount it with TWRP, when I try to check the "MicroSD" under "Mount", it doesn't check it, so I assume this is because it can't mount it for whatever reason. Therefore I can't flash the ROM from the SD card, and starting sideload fails after some time for no apparent reason, using ADB push gives me "Permission Denied". I'm running ADB on Linux, if that helps.

---------- Post added at 07:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 AM ----------

As a last resort, I could flash the stock ROM and then push the ZIP to the internal (which I stupidly wiped) and then continue from there.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] luisarriaga:
With rotation working ?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] australize:
sorry about my language. I can't see link ver. R9
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] zipperklooder:
:crying: I think I might be bricked as I can't even flash from fastboot because I don't have root anymore and it gives me "Permission Denied". I idiotically wiped my internal in TWRP, and TWRP can't see my SD card for whatever stupid reason it won't mount it! I really need some help...
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] cieffe54:
Yes beacuse it's from 550 base.:o

Yes, it all works out because I did it with the base of 550. I changed updater script, wipe cache, dalvik system and date with twpr and flashed.

For now everything is working ...

Maybe if the master [MENTION=2491106]Harfainx[/MENTION] can tell me how did the eliminape popop PC link would be grateful.:D:D
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
Sounds like you didn't wipe data, but rather internal storage. The only way possible for bloat to still be there on an install is for the Asus apps to have updated and been installed in the /data partition. I don't wipe that, as explained in my previous post. System is wiped on flash, so they aren't in that.

R9 is only on SVN right now. I'll upload either an R9 link later, or whatever build it's on if I change anything.

Delete two files from /system/etc

cdrom_install.iso
init.cdrom.sh

The iso is the mounted image that comes up prompting for the install.

The init is the script that mounts it.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] cieffe54:
Thanks!!
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] fuzzybuffalo:
It looks like R9 is just up on SVN, so to get it you will either have to setup SVN or wait for him to post a link.

What are you trying to fastboot flash? Because fastboot does not have anything to do with root.

Not sure about Permission Denied, maybe a wrong command or trying to downgrade an image or trying to flash to the wrong partition.

Can your computer see the internal storage?

You might try fastboot flashing a stock recovery and doing a factory reset.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] helroz:
I have made the same this morning with Harfainx updater-script and last firmware for 550ml, zip file size: 778mo (asus programs removed, supersu, black splash screen).

It work fine with +1go ram free at startup without loose data at flash.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] cieffe54:
I too! :D my Zip File is 708Mb
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] helroz:
There is the link, it's tested on my ZE550ML.

Thanks to Harfainx for his great work.

[ZenFone 2 Android Development] cieffe54:
Good!

I wait a couple of days of testing before publishing
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] helroz:
I don't have deleted much on my side, it's stable :)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] zipperklooder:
I get Permission Denied for everything I try to flash via fastboot. I got TWRP to read my MicroSD card, but when I press "Restore" to try and restore my Nandroid on the MicroSD, it just shows a blank file manager screen. I can read everything I've put on the MicroSD card with the File Manager.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] luisarriaga:
Good stuff !!
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] fuzzybuffalo:
Edit: Sorry gone so long, had some business to take care of.

That's very strange about the Permission Denied. Have you tried reflashing your bootloader?

For TWRP to see the Nandroid backups, they must be in a specific folder.

/TWRP/BACKUPS/ your serial number

My serial number starts with Medfield, but the bootloader shows 0123456789ABCDEF

Try making a backup of just the Boot and see where it puts it. Then move or copy your Nandroid to that folder.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Oh I meant for you do it. I have a rom already
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] zipperklooder:
TWRP is now somehow gone...I'm back to stock recovery. I'm going to try flashing stock onto the device with Windows, and see how it goes.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] fuzzybuffalo:
Okay, let me know?

Might try factory resetting from the stock recovery.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] luisarriaga:
You guys, should open a new thread specific to 550.

This way we can maintain this one cleaner :D

I'm so freaking happy with custom roms for the 550!!eheh
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] cieffe54:
Yes open open:):)

Inviato dal mio ASUS_Z008D con Tapatalk 2
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] luisarriaga:
Maybe its just placebo effect but having more ram available, makes such a difference :D
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] zipperklooder:
How does a factory reset help?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
Well, now that some great folks like [MENTION=1060541]helroz[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2085303]cieffe54[/MENTION] have figured out exactly what needs to be done for the 550, I can probably spend some time talking to them and get a solid method to have both 551 and 550 supported.

If they're both willing to share their knowledge, we should be able to make it happen for everyone. :highfive:
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] fuzzybuffalo:
Just trying to get you unbricked and booting up.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] zipperklooder:
Tried a factory reset, no help :crying:

Should I try to reflash TWRP through fastboot and then try to restore my backup?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] luisarriaga:
BTW, I think you also erased Asus keyboard, so there is no way to put your credentials at boot, I had to to bypass everything in order to install a apk with it. The rest is just fine;)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] zipperklooder:
Tried flashing TWRP with Windows via fastboot, still gave me the "remote: Permission denied"...I think I'm hard bricked.

---------- Post added at 05:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:03 PM ----------

Weird...gives me the error, but now somehow TWRP is flashed! If I want to restore a backup from MicroSD, where should I put the backup folder? My serial number also shows Medfield, so should I put it under /TWRP/BACKUPS/Medfield on the root of my SD card?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] fuzzybuffalo:
I wonder if the Permission Denied error is because of the RSA key, you know, when you first installed the drivers and hooked up you phone and you got a pop-up on the phone to allow access. You can try removing all your drivers and reinstalling to see if you get that pop-up again. But I would not mess with them until I got it booting.

As I said before, do a backup of just Boot and see where TWRP puts it, then copy your Nandroid to that folder.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] zipperklooder:
It's a shame I didn't choose to always allow the RSA key from my computer, probably would've made this a lot easier.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] zipperklooder:
OK, I tried downloading stock .zip file and flashing it through TWRP, no luck with "Zip file is corrupt!".
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] fuzzybuffalo:
If your talking about an official Asus zip file, they will only install from stock recovery.

Have you rebooted your computer and hooked up your phone again to see if that fixed Permission Denied errors?

I'm pretty sure your not hard bricked, just need to get fastboot working and you can flash the factory images.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Status_Errorv1:
quick question......I planning to flash this Kernel http://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/development/project-t-custom-kernel-zenfone-2-t3150822

and im wondering whether it will affect the ROM
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
Shouldn't break anything, but I have no idea. Haven't used it.

Not sure all of what's in it, but you could try it and let us know. ;)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Status_Errorv1:
flashing now and also another question now that I have this kernel installed... when i update the ROM will it replace the custom kernel with the stock one?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
Yes, it'll overwrite the boot img unless you swap the boot img (the custom kernel) with the one in this zip.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Status_Errorv1:
damn oh well flashed successfully again thanks for the ROM.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
You can always flash the ROM, then immediately flash the kernel over.

I won't be able to help with various issues though, if anything happens because of the kernel.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Status_Errorv1:
yeah testing the kernel right now if battery life improves I will flash it everytime when updating the ROM.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] helroz:
Only xt9ime but without one, it work for me, i go to insert it :)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] cieffe54:
No problem grandmaster Harfainx. I cleaned up the bloatware visible and update modified script by a mix between your and the original. I am attaching. What I got is a file of 688 MB.

One thing I do not understand, but I seem to remember that in the quick setting, in the first line, they present the flash light and calcolator that now there are more!
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] ImjuzCY:
I just flashed R8 today, and I've noticed that 2 cores are constantly locked on 2333MHz and every app other than home screen is not responding. And when this happens, I can't shut it down. Reboot or Power off don't work. It shows the shutting down screen for a long time, then the screen turns black but the backlight is still on I can see the screen is not off but it's black. Tried clean flashing but still the same. Any clues?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Cyborg.Gangster:
Any Good For Z550ML version?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] cieffe54:
you try this :http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61860110&postcount=302
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] elomire:
This is super weird, I'm not sure how this happened but after flashing the rom my USB ID Product changed to 5601 from 5f03. Totally messed up ADB and MTP until I realized that. Weird.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Cyborg.Gangster:
Same as that of 551ML one. ? i meant no bloatware and all...

one more thing does it come with inbuilt SuperSU?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] cieffe54:
I am not the developer ask him.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Cyborg.Gangster:
Haha.. Thats Fine... Thanks anyway..
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] zipperklooder:
I flashed the stock through TWRP, took some hassle because I found out my SD card reader was broken and was corrupting all the files on the MicroSD, swapped out the reader and everything was good :good: Going to probably call the manufacturer of the reader (with my unbricked ZF2) since it's still under warranty.

---------- Post added at 08:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 AM ----------

Now we can try this out for the ZE500CL :p!
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] helroz:
Supersu is built in, lots of bloat removed.

Last upload (actually in upload V1.4) is patched for external sdcard read/write in any app.

Work on v1.5 (not uploaded):

Adb enabled by defaut

Removed adb notification

I modify all directly in the phone without any computer :)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] hshaikh:
Will you be making a new update of this rom to 5.1 when its out?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] IW4N93:
i'm sure they will, since they are expecting the 5.1 as well :)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] gh0st-:
Hey [MENTION=2491106]Harfainx[/MENTION] i noticed that zen motion doesnt seem to work. Did you remove the said feature aswell? I mean if i do the screen gesture while the phone is asleep it will just open to lockscreen but not launching the app.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Are you talking about the gestures they work fine for me
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
Can this be moved to It's own thread, since it's different than the 551 rom
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
We update as updates come out. When the full rom links are available, they're downloaded, integrated, and modified as needed into our build.

I can't say when 5.1 will be out, but I can say that we plan on updating as updates happen.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] john_petrucci:
The battery drain is lower in this Rom??

thanks!
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] hshaikh:
Notification bug

I noticed a strange bug after installing the latest version. When I go to settings > sound and notification > default notification sound. Settings crashes. Anyone else have this problem.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] chubby65:
Try using stock messaging app i had the same when using 3rd party message app
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
Just looked through all the sound options. Works fine for me.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] hshaikh:
Thanks for bring the stock messaging app to my attention. you were right that was the problem.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] chubby65:
Your welcome mate

---------- Post added at 06:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 PM ----------

If you uninstall the stock messaging app every time you go into sounds and notification it crashes

Happens on original stock rom too
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] GrandpaaOvekill:
can u port this one fr 2 gb ram veersion model pls.. :)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
Please read through this thread.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] aziz07:
Any idea what are AsusAs, AsusBoost,WidiInputService, XT9IME needed for? Is quick charge+ working after all these removed?

The asus framework is still installed, right?

thanks
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] GrandpaaOvekill:
So i cn use this rom on 550ml i guess..a guy flashed it and it worked...ao r u gonna be making diffrent one fr 2 gb version or we cn continue using ur this rom only?....and ill be happy to help u in future by testing rims fr 2 gb version :)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
AsusAs = Auto Start

AsusBoost = Boost

WidiInputService = Not sure

XT9IME = Asus keyboard. I actually put that back in. Didn't notice that was the only keyboard.

Quick Charge works. That would take some work for me to break that.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] aziz07:
Perfect, because quickcharge had to be re-enabled with custom kernel for cyanogenmod lg g2.

Nooo, don't break quick charge lol

p.s: Widi = Intel WiFi Display a.k.a wireless display mirroring, never tried it though.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
Hey, thanks! Good to know. :good:

[ZenFone 2 Android Development] ceyad:
Love this ROM. But needs more slim ROM ?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
Well, the update is just a few minor tweaks. There's no version update yet. I'll link to it in a minute. Building the zip to upload now.

Probably not. I have no knowledge of that phone.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] GrandpaaOvekill:
dude i went over ur thread..cn u just clear my one doubt...shd i install this rom only or should i wat fr u to port a proper one fr 550ml
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
There is a 550 build that was created, but I didn't make it. The link for it is back a bit in this thread. It's based on some of my stuff, but it was created for the 550.

R10 link is live in second post. Changelog has the info for it.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Fed4Lyfe:
not sure how to flash non-zip files. can you compile R10 into zip?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] trnscnd:
You are a very patient person. I admire that.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Fed4Lyfe:
Trying R10- now. R8 was working awesome for me, so I don't doubt R10 would be too.

Thanks for all your effort!
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
R10 is very minor. Just removed a few more things.

-----------------------------------

Think I have a /data wipe done now. This would/will allow a person to flash from stock without doing a full data wipe and losing all of their stuff.

The order would go: Stock rom all setup -> SuperZen -> DataRemoval -> Reboot

It removes all the same Asus stuff that SuperZen wipes out of /system. This way the /system and /data will be cleaned of all the same junk.

Not sure if people are interested in it, but I'll add the information accordingly soon.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Wilkij:
File Error

Please check your R10 download zip. It would not download to phone and was only 175KB when downloaded to my computer (too small to be legitimate ROM build). As I don't have MD5 info, I can't check beyond just relative size. Since this ROM is becoming popular, would you consider hosting it on Android File :)Host?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] chubby65:
Works fine downloading from Google Drive mate

Download size is 820mb
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Wilkij:
Tried again and got it all this time. False alarm, my bad. Thanks all.:D
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] gh0st-:
Yep, like when you draw a letter C when the screen is off. It should open camera, on my case it just wakes up on lock screen.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] grafikal:
I just installed the R10. When the phone reboots after installation it goes through the custom splash screen, but upon booting only has a black screen. I can power off and reboot and see those options, I can see volume when I adjust it, but nothing else. Very weird. I will try to re-flash it to see if that solves the problem. Any advice?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] coubi64:
I have a little problem with flicover: I flashed first "Asus Data Removal Zip", then R10 rom,and then "FlipCover" addin. But when I shut my cover it doesn't lock screen. So I tried to go to parameters->Asus Cover but but it hangs with "Parameters stops" message.

Could you please have a look a this problem?

But nevertheless nice work, thanks :p
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] texastutt:
don't forget you can get that from the play store... or there are other FM radio's on PS
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] bradputt:
arn't those internet radios?

i meant the FM radio that doesn't need internet connection. i think it's configured to the hardware radio chip.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] chubby65:
Asus FM radio is available on the play store if you want it
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] ansebovi:
well no..asus fm is not in playstore,..if u seen it,please link..

i never seen any fm radio in playstore which can be used without internet..do u have any??

i guess ,..need this too AsusFMService[and if u have odex file for both ..please send those..otherwise it may not work]
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
I'll add in an FM-Radio flashable zip in the second post. Give me a bit.

I didn't think people actually used it. Sorry folks.

It takes a long time to extract /system for some reason. This is just a current limitation of TWRP. That's why I even added in a line saying "Please Wait". It takes quite a while unfortunately.

Removed everything listed except for File Manager. I don't like the idea of leaving it with no file manager by default, and I'm not particularly fond of adding another one in.

----------------------------

Update 1.1 is up. Changelog has been updated to reflect changes.

I'll upload a flashable FM Radio that can be flashed immediately after the ROM.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] FuKaKa:
Can't wait for a clean 550ml rom :good:

btw, can you make with ver. 2.17 please? call vibrate when connected not work after that version
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Harfainx:
FM Radio zip is up in second post.

It might give a message about not being able to unmount /system, but it still works.

To make sure to avoid errors on mount, I have to unmount first, but if TWRP doesn't mount system, it will just give that message.

Flash zip, reboot. FM Radio works. :good:
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] trnscnd:
Thanks for the update and hard work! Im looking for something as slim as possible. I assume [MENTION=6210000]XneofuX[/MENTION] is as well so the removal of the apps stated by him is much appreciated.

Edit: After flashing the first boot got stuck at the splash screen for half and hour or so.. A restart got me up and running. This was on v1.0.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] XneofuX:
Yeah, totally, just didn't want to spam this thread (i still believe in the "Thanks" button :silly: )

Didn't have this problem with 1.0 or 1.1 ;) Flashed and runs smooth, how it should. :good:
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] helroz:
Tried to deodex rom, it work fine with more free space in system. I work without any wipe.

Now i have 965mo free in system folder :)

This is on the 550ml rom but if it work on 550ml, it work on 551ml
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] grafikal:
Re-flashing seems to have solved it. Pretty awesome ROM! Love the lack of bloat.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] timbernot:
