Sorry guys,

I lied. :-/

Fastboot flashed the recovery after bootloop, rebooted into it. Cleared cache again (which now worked) and sideloaded the update an that complains by verify.

Turns out I did indeed turn on sw navbar in the build....prop.

Gonna revert the changes there and try again to update.

[ZenFone 2 General] ilos:
what i've done :

i Left on my phone : busybox and frozen apps

just :

removed xposed

removed supersu

apply OTA

install Root

install xposed

also my bootloader still unlocked

Done.
[ZenFone 2 General] sebx_g1:
So is it a little bit lottery to flash ota, any one tried to download ota file to phone and flash it from recovery automatically?

it's what i've done. Simply updated with the phone, no sideload.

[ZenFone 2 General] rivethead23:
I took the OTA and it flashed just fine. Unrooted, uninstalled busybox and unfroze apps was what I did. (I didn't have Xposed running).

Regardless of the method of root used the safe route and the one I would suggest is to unroot, unfreeze, removed xposed so you aren't put into a bootloop.
[ZenFone 2 General] buge boyo:
I did not unroot and uninstall busybox I just defrosted frozen apps with tib and applied ota no bootloop.
[ZenFone 2 General] DarkSide.9x:
[MENTION=5010777]ansebovi[/MENTION] :

Rooted phone with unlocked bootloader, firmware 2.19.40.18, not busyboxed, with a lot of frozen apps => unfreeze all apps, use 'full unroot' option of the supersu app, reboot, download & apply OTA 2.19.40.20 with the updater.

No bootloop here, the phone reboots successfully, 'Android is upgrading...' message, and after a (long) while the phone is successfully updated and still unlocked :good:
[ZenFone 2 General] kanagawaben:
This update only 551?

---------- Post added at 10:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 PM ----------

Ah, no. Mine just came up for the 550 (ota from .12 to .13)

---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 PM ----------

If unroot and unfreeze apps, is it OK to apply this OTA even if you have unlocked bootloader and TWRP?
[ZenFone 2 General] stephtban:
Yes, it's what i did and all is ok.

(uninstall xposed and busybox too if you have it)
[ZenFone 2 General] kanagawaben:
How do you install the OTA with TWRP? I couldn't find where it had downloaded too.
[ZenFone 2 General] stephtban:
You don't have to do it manually. Download it ( settings -> about -> update ) and apply it when it ask you.

Your phone will reboot and update within twrp (you probably need the last version).

After that you need to install twrp again as it will be overwritten.
[ZenFone 2 General] kanagawaben:
I tried that, but it just rebooted in TWRP and didn't update
[ZenFone 2 General] OfficerJimLahey:
[MENTION=5010777]ansebovi[/MENTION], I played it safe, as when I started the process, I was on 2.18 (551 2GB variant, rooted with 1-click)...

Defrosted every frozen app

Unrooted (via SuperSu)

Rebooted

Flashed the old 2.19

Re-rooted with 1-click

Unlocked bootloader

Deleted the MOFD_SUPDATE.zip from MicroSD (get it out of the way, probably not necessary)

Unrooted (again)

Reboot (again)

Checked for updates, new 2.19 came up

Downloaded, flashed with stock recovery

Rooted (one last time)

Re-froze bloat

Now that I have an unlocked bootloader, I will play future updates by ear (I have it set up so the device doesn't check updates for me - rather hear about it here first ;)). Maybe flash TWRP for a proper backup, so I don't have to worry so much if I get bootloop from forgetting to defrost an app because I flashed the latest version again. At least now I have a way to dig myself out if I get lazy. ;)
[ZenFone 2 General] kanagawaben:
I have a problem. I couldn't apply the update by just accepting it as usual (it just rebooted into TWRP without updating), so I downloaded the OTA file and booted into TWRP to try installing it manually. It failed to flash, with TWRP reporting:

Package expects build fingerprint of asus/WW_Z008/Z008:5.0/LRX21V/2.19.40.12_20150612_4176_user:user/release-keys or asus/WW_Z008/Z008:5.0/LRX21V/2.19.40.13_20150623_6113_user:user/release-keys; this device has asus/WW_Z00A/Z00A:5.0/LRX21V/2.19.40.18_20150612_1182_user:user/release-keys

So how has my ZE550ML running 2.19.40.12 firmware managed to get the ZE551ML's 2.19.40.18 build fingerprint? And what should I do to correct this?
[ZenFone 2 General] kaotikb:
I had no problems with the latest ota. I was rooted with the 1 clock root tool and have an unlocked bootloader with factory recovery . I did not unroot or unfreeze any apps before applying the ota.
[ZenFone 2 General] ansebovi:
Thanks all, sry guys daily limit to thanks, so will press tomorrow..

So unlocked also working without issue while ota, nice..

Ya they did 2 times via Ota got bootloop, but in manual they got success.. I can't find the reason behind bootloop
[ZenFone 2 General] tokecin:
I can confirm it worked for me too in ZE551 following same process ;)

Hi,

i tried OTA and it seems as I have a bootloop.

I unrooted phone with the lastest 1 click tool.

I have installed busybox and viper4android.

I did not make any changes before OTA update.

How can I get out of the bootloop - please help.

First of all u didnt had to un-root if u had rooted ur phone via 1 click root tool.... But if u did its alrite... I think installing busybox changes some system files... And are you sure u didnt delete any system app/bloatware... Anyways try sideloading the full rom via adb...

I have not had to un-root or unfreeze any asus apps I've frozen. The one thing I have done or more precisely not done is: I have not updated the binary for SuperSU.

Everthing worked fine for me. The only issue I've had is that my phone has never found an OTA on it's own but that may because I end up updating manually before my phone gets targeted for the OTA

Downloaded OTA and updated using recovery with OTA file named MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip on sd card.

I have a CN version 551 rooted and coverted to WW firmware via pre-root system.img.

Thanks to shakalca for "Pre-root system.img" & "OTA links for stock Rom" threads!
[ZenFone 2 General] TheSSJ:
Ok,i know why it is throwing out that error. The Fingerprint from my phone is set in twrp (Z00A). As you have flashed mine,the phone thinks in recovery that you are a ZE551ml instead of 550. Will see to fix this with a recovery script maybe
[ZenFone 2 General] kanagawaben:
Thanks. I guessed that was probably the problem (551 files used in the TWRP build) so I reflashed the stock recovery image for now and was able to apply the OTA. Hope you will have success in cooking up a 550 spec version of twrp. Thanks again.

---------- Post added at 05:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:53 AM ----------

If you need any files from my phone give me a shout.
[ZenFone 2 General] ziddey:
Simply remove that check from the updater script and it will flash fine in twrp.
[ZenFone 2 General] TheSSJ:
That's what I wanted to see :D

I'd need your build.prop file located under /system, then I can see to modify the fingerprints on the fly with a shell script maybe

Thanks and regards

You're most welcome :)
[ZenFone 2 General] base_band5:
Mine is 2.19.40.18, BL unlocked, 1 Click root method 3 and also TWRP recovery. I don't have to unroot, my TWRP will be overwritten with stock recovery after I apply the OTA? Is this correct?
[ZenFone 2 General] Val3r10:
Someone your condition experienced bootloops as well.

Unrooting (even with method 3, 1click) before OTA updating is highly adviced.

I did this way, even leaving Busybox there and some other files

added

to /system partition, and I flawlessly did the update

(underlined added because the OTA signature check verifies existing files... which should be all in place)

"1 click root" is quick enough (I mean unrooting and re-rooting later) to avoid hours of reflashing for bootloops...

I guess
[ZenFone 2 General] base_band5:
I just finished the update to 2.19.40.22 by leaving root, flashing stock recovery 2.19.40.18 by adb, rebooted into recovery to ensure it was stock. Then rebooted into system, did an ota system update. It rebooted and updated in stock recovery. After this it started fine! Left it with stock recovery.
[ZenFone 2 General] TheSSJ:
unfortunately I cannot edit ro.build.fingerprint after recovery has loaded (it just keeps the values no matter what :( ).

Probably I am going to release 2 TWRPs then, one for z00a and one for z008

Cheers!
[ZenFone 2 General] ziddey:
This doesn't address the version. The current one is .18 so the .18-.20 update works. The .22 won't regardless of z00a or z008. Removing the check (2nd line of updater script) is fine. There's no signature check to the update
[ZenFone 2 General] kanagawaben:
Benchmark for my 550 with the 2.19.40.13 update, not changed much but perhaps a slight gain. Still, heartwarming to see such a low cost device outscoring the previous generation of expensive flagship such as the S5 and One M8, as well as more expensive Chinese devices (Mate 7 and Mi4). Props ASUS.

Next person to get the update, please download, then get the name of the update file. It will be in your /cache directory. (BEFORE UPDATING) It's going to be some long name like asdf832f88823uyr2o3r98237423hghasdfjasfdjl_LG_G4_ZV4toZV5_update.zip.

Either get this name, or just copy the file out of your cache directory and upload it. That would be great!

[G4 General] autoprime:
I posted this in the reddit thread... https://dm.reddit.com/r/lgg4/comments/3brh8f/just_got_a_sprint_update/

Updates are always a gamble. I really can't say what it's blocking without seeing the update itself. The update is most likely safe but can't be 100% sure.

Can someone run a logcat over ADB to capture the OTA URL? Then I could download the OTA without having an LS991 and see what's what. It'll be tough to catch since you'll have to be tethered to a computer until the OTA comes... which could be today.. or next week.. but worth a shot.

maybe someone in here can try to get a logcat and get me the OTA filename or URL? Has to be run on a computer afaik... the on-device logcat apps seem to need root to log what we need... at least the ones I've had others try.

If you GET the OTA notification and are planning to take the update you could probably start a logcat and then continue to update and the OTA filename may pop up in the logcat. Otherwise people will need to just be running logcat all night while their phone is connected to wifi and hope they get notified.

adb logcat > log.txt

give it a test to make sure it works if you're new to logcats. this is the only way to check for what the update might be doing... unless you want to wait for a leaked TOT.

[G4 General] kwaad:
I got the update, spent an hour trying to find the name, decided to clear the /cache/... and... things went downhill.

I was unable to "start" the update. So I'm guessing I deleted the update, yet the phone refused to "recheck" that it was there.

Factory-reset, and no update available. been hooked to ADB all day, hoping for the update... Sprint said "7-3 to 7-9" for all phones I think. So, hopefully I get it soon. No phone is a like breaking both your legs!
[G4 General] Dbo2700:
Clearing your cache will mess up the process?
[G4 General] kwaad:
I'm not going to check as I do not want to take the OTA (until one of the awesome guys confirm it's safe)

But when I cleared the cache, the phone was unable to perform the update. A factory reset did however restore functionality.

I just got the new update as of a few moments ago.

Here is the filename. I am unsure on if it's acceptable to post the full URL or not here on XDA. (rather play it safe) If the full URL is needed, PM me.

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian117:
I've since then requested a return slip via Amazon since I saw a dead pixel last night while watching a video. When the video cut to a black screen, I noticed a tiny little blue dot that was not part of the video. I've confirmed it via some pixel checker apps and it is indeed a dead pixel. This is somewhat an eye opener as to the quality of this phone. I love the phone, but the hardware and even customer support lacks a lot. I've sent numerous emails to customer support with no reply back. And it wasn't even about anything major. It's not just the dead pixel that sparked this thought about returning the phone. As many have said, the tap to wake feature is iffy and only works when it wants.

I'm afraid to try my chances again with this phone, but I've been back to the basics of researching into another device. Gut instincts should've went with the HTC One M9. But the amazing price of this phone was hard to pass up. For anybody who has since returned this phone (and hopefully still lurk this subforum) could you let me know why you returned it and which phone you got to replace it? I might press my luck again and buy it again once I receive my refund. Hoping I get one from another recent batch.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian117:
Just an update...I sent back the phone today to Amazon for a full refund and in the meantime I ordered another one just so I can get a replacement quicker rather than having to wait 2-6 days for my refund to show up then order another one, but this time I placed an order through Alcatels main website and during checkout it asked me to select shipping speed and there was Standard, 2 day and 1 day, and for the hell of it I wanted to see how much 1 day shipping was and the total said it was 0.00 and the final cost was still only $249.99 which is the main cost of the phone. I was able to successfully place my order with the 1 day shipping method for 0.00. Not sure if my order will still go through but it will be interesting to see.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Medina623:
You should've stuck with Amazon tho, because if something else happens it easier to go thru Amazon for return then thru Alcatel

Sent from my 6045I
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian117:
Yeah I thought about that after I purchased through Alcatel. Thing is, the phone was shipped via Amazon and it even said so during the checkout process. So if anything goes wrong I might still be able to return it hassle free.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jammol:
You will not be able to return through Amazon so easily. That's what happened to me when I got this for my wife. We actually had to go through a ton of freaking hoops(according to my wife) to make it happen.

We were supposed to send it straight to alcatel and wait 3 weeks. My wife did her thing (whatever that is) and was able to have them do it through Amazon.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian117:
Hmm. Well hopefully this replacement phone won't have any flaws. Right away I noticed the box was in better condition than the last one and it seems the speakers are louder. I must've got one from a new batch because I didn't have to install the startup update since it came preinstalled already. So its a newer device it seems. Oh well. Thanks for your input I'll remember that if I ever have to return it again.:thumbup:
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jammol:
Amazon sucks balls when it comes to getting packages in good condition. Every single thing that I have purchased from them this year so far has come in an extremely damaged box. UPS does not give a crap for sure!!!
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian117:
I rarely order directly from Amazon's fulfillment just based on their rule of ordering $35 or more for free shipping if I wanted something for only $10. I usually go the third-party route who offer free shipping with reliability. But since Alcatel only uses Amazon's fulfillment center, I had no choice. But yeah my first Idol 3 box was smashed in the corner and had weird water stain marks on the front and sides. I had a feeling it was going to be a defective unit just from the box.

Hi all,

I have this problem with my Dopod 838 (Hermes). When in the car and on the car charger (generic/unbranded Car Charger-to-USB adapter with retractable USB-to-miniUSB cable), if my hermes is on "standby" it is charging as expected. If it is "powered-on" though, it stops charging, and the backlight shuts off after 5 secs of "inactivity" (as set in the backlight settings).

The problem is in the car, I use a BT GPS unit and GPS software, and suddenly the hermes backlight shuts off and cant see a thing....

It was working properly with official WM5, and with the early ROMS (e.g. XDA Live etc), but with the latest brew it doesnt... I tried most of the roms (Schaps, VP3G, Sleuth, and currently using Black Majik) with the same problem.

I posted on the 4WM site as I currently use Black, and I got the suggestion to solder pin 4 & 5 of the miniUSB plug so that the Hermes can identify the USB charger.....

It's difficult to do this as the miniUSB is "factory-molded" and cannot be taken apart, plus the risk of soldering more mini-pins together creating havoc....

Anybody with a better solution/suggestion? Also why the hermes could identify the USB charger with WM5 or XDALive roms?

Any help much appreciated.

The fact that is says Verizon Wireless? It says that in 4.4.4 too.

No! It pulls up the screen. Notice the three dots at the bottom of the screen.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Coronado is dead:
Oh, I see what you mean. Looks like it is adding the menu button back., I had assumed it was just part of the shade.

See if there is a setting in Settings->Display to disable the menu button.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zefir738:
There is none. See, this phone has capacitive keys, so it shouldn't be showing the navbar at all. I have 5.1 and don't have this issue. I'd say it's a bug.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cadenmiller60:
Correct! I did a factory reset to see if it would go away but it has not. It also creates a strange bug for Nova launcher as the more times I pull down for notifications the Google Search bar goes further down the screen.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Coronado is dead:
I know it has capacitive keys, I am holding one now :p

However, there was the option in 4.4.4 to hide the menu button in apps that used it and instead use a long press of the Tasks key to access the menu in those apps. I thought checking that off might trick the notification bar into hiding the button ;)
