[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakhar13:
IF your phone is not region locked and second that it is s-off then that's what will give you best results in these kind of things. :)
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakhar13:
what are the problems you are facing?? please state them.

You'll be able to get OTA updates after this method and upgrade to lollipop ver 5.0.2
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nukaru:
To tell someone, that doesn't even know the correct way to flash a device, to get S-OFF (which completely removes ALL security, so the flashing won't stop, even if it is a bad flash) is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! I know experienced users that bricked their phone gaining S-OFF and attempting to flash a file, they THOUGHT were for their device. So imagine an unexperienced user trying the same.

Also, maybe you should tell the user that S-OFF costs real money. You need to buy the sunshine app or for MTK variants a dongle to make it work.

It's really nice of you posting this tutorial, but please consider that most of the users in this section of the forums are inexperienced and seek help.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakhar13:
Yes I do know that but you must also know that there is no other simple method right now to gain S-OFF without the sunshine app which costs 25$ at the time.

I know that they can end up doing it wrong, but the files that i've stated are stock roms or ruu files and are not that much of a problem if they know which one to look out for.

I should have told them that. Sorry my bad.

BUT THANKS TO YOU FOR STATING IT :good:

Thanks a lot bro... I done it .. thanks for your kind support.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thoctor:
On December 27th you posted here that your phone was pure stock and you couldn't update. Now a few months later your phone is now set to S off which by the way requires you to preroot your phone first and now your set to SuperCID which takes even more knowledge to do through ADB/fastboot properly but your still "new" here? Now your saying your phone isn't even rooted and after asking the OP for his "supposed" help(which none of which is documented anywhere here with interactions back and forth between the two of you) your thanking him for what exactly? Coming across the one other "new" guy with an S off and SuperCID set device? This is all sounding very fishy and "real" people are being hurt here who don't have S off and SuperCID and are soft bricking their phones left and right from what I'm reading here. Shame on both of you (OP) for giving such incomplete advice and having more unlocked phone's then the rest and not even sharing your back and forth discussions here in XDA to inform the rest. This forum is one big joke but the people being hurt by it aren't laughing so neither will I !
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakhar13:
I think you should consider reading my post where I've clearly mentioned "this may lead you to bricking your phone if not done properly & proceed at your own risk"

Nukaru has also already stated in a post above what i should have told regarding s-off and the info i provided.

If you notice i have asked people to post their specific problem in detail and also i had sent them PM's asking them the details of the problem. I've helped them as far as i could. I'm not a developer or someone with great knowledge in these things but what i've written is from my experience of the problems that i faced and how to resolve them.

The original post was completely different from what it is now which is much easier to do. People who were following the steps in the earlier version of my original post faced those problems that you are talking about.

I appreciate your criticism for this post and i also say that what you are saying is not completely incorrect.I'll soon edit this thread to give proper info to people in need.

Can you check this topic and help me? I see you are experienced.. I don't care what Android version I get, I just need my phone working again..

Would flashing Stock ROM help with my situation or not? and what kind of recovery do I need to flash this ROM? I have stock recovery right now..
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thoctor:
I genuinely appreciate your response and your desire to help people I'm sure is genuine but I did read your whole post and every single persons response one after the other. I learned that from my first days here at XDA that sometimes the responses gave me more info than the original post. Plus I'm OCD when it comes to reading. I also am not an expert/dev and have just learned by reading obsessively and dealing with my own device's issues over the years so I'm not saying you don't have the right to help here( we need more people to help.)

What I am saying is maybe you should be "reading" more tutorials from more experienced people and devs to get your information gaps fixed better before "writing" more tutorials that are (and I've read all of them to be fair) incomplete with dead links and more emoji filled than correctly filled. PMing is great and it's commendable that you are taking that much effort into helping people but that doesn't help the next guy that comes across this forum after you've gone to sleep and wants to get the information you and the other person communicated. I guess if the mods are fine with it I have to be but my advice is to read some of the better written tutorials and support forums then compare them to yours and you'll pretty much see what I'm talking about and if you don't then none of what I'm saying matters anyway. Good luck to you and I mean that.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakhar13:
Thanks you understood me really well. Appreciate your advice, working on it.

How about you guys understand and help me now? :D
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakhar13:
1-Can you boot your device into the bootloader

2-Yes i think it will benefit you, but it would be better if you are able to fix the issue and make a backup of all your data.

After this if you feel like flashing the stock rom you can dot it without losing your data.

3-If you are unable to do that then you should consider flashing the stock rom from the link that i've provided.

You can ask other members too and see what they would recommend as i myself am not an expert.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thoctor:
Gibz97 is trying to help you in your other forum but you haven't answered him yet. I didn't know you were talking to me or not as you didn't link to one of my posts and I was also helping several other people in other forums. Sorry about that. I wasn't ignoring you. Your on stock rom (MM) with stock recovery so your just need to get out of the bootloop your in that won't take you to your OS. Getting into your bootloader or recovery is the first step. Try Gibz97 suggestion first then let us know what happens. You may just need to get into recovery and wipe your cache and dalvik cache or worse case do a factory reset which WIPES the phone but retains your firmware. Then you should be able to reboot system properly.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KabbozZ:
Well, I have installed TWRP recovery back, tried to wipe cache and dalvik cache, it didn't work afterwards, tried wiping internal storage as a whole, still nothing...

And BTW, let's continue talking on my topic, so I don't ruin this one..
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakhar13:
You must relock your bootloader before flashing ruu if you have S-ON. (IGNORE IF YOU HAVE S-OFF)

The following steps will Flash the stock rom and recovery.img automatically.

This process doesnt require you to do anything additional other than the steps given to make your phone stock.

Follow these steps

Download the compressed rar file which contains the stock lollipop rom from this link https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24352994023702928

Now extract this rar file and you will see a .zip file in it.

Now rename this file to 0P9CIMG (dont change the zip extension).

Now copy the zip file to your external sd card (dont put it in a folder, simply paste it in the external sd card)

Power off your phone

Hold the power button and volume down button at the same time for a few seconds until you enter the bootloader screen.

The file will be automatically recognized and you will be asked to confirm the update.

Simply confirm the prompts on the screen with the instructions in it

Be patient and wait till the process ends ( it takes time )

After its done then restart your phone.(maybe it will restart for you automatically)

Be patient as the htc logo will be there for a long time just wait it out.

Now check for updates and install them.

CHEERS

I HOPE TO HELP PEOPLE AS BEST AS I CAN FROM MY KNOWLEDGE.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KabbozZ:
Ok, I will try this, but should I go to stock recovery before doing that or continue normally with twrp recovery?

---------- Post added at 01:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 PM ----------

and another thing.. I don't have card reader to copy the file to the external card, so is there any way I can flash it through PC?
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakhar13:
No need for stock recovery flashing, the zip will automatically wipe and do a fresh flash of the stock recovery and rom itself.

Yes you can flash it through pc but you will need to setub adb and htc drivers, but you wont be able to do that because you are unable to boot up your phone.

It would be better if you can get hold of someone else's device and copy the downloaded file by putting your Ext. sd card in that phone and swapping the SD back to yours after it's done copying.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nukaru:
To flash a RUU file, you HAVE to flash STOCK RECOVERY, RELOCK bootloader and place the RUU file in the root folder of your sd-card.

Without this the bootloader won't pick up the RUU file and flash the firmware. Flashing will be aborted until you relock the bootloader..
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KabbozZ:
So another confusion again about the used recovery.. :D

I need 1 final decision, do I need stock recovery or TWRP recovery?
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nukaru:
The safest way to flash an official RUU/OTA is always the stock recovery.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KabbozZ:
Any stock recovery or a specific one? I have the latest Lolipop recovery from the OTA update I have downloaded.. Should I install it?
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakhar13:
I dont think it's needed because i flashed mine to stock while i was on TWRP recovery and running cyanogenmod.

BUT if Nukaru says so then you should do it because she is knows more than i do.Flash the stock Lollipop recovery.

Also I have an S-OFF device and your's is S-ON. THEREFORE as said by nukaru it would be safe for you to flash the stock recovery
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nukaru:
Yeah, try that one. If that doesn't work, try extracting the recovery from the RUU file for your device.

You should always consider that you've got S-OFF. You could flash almost everything without too much worry about the bootloader.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KabbozZ:
and do I really need to be bootloader relocked, right?
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakhar13:
Yes

changelog same as the last update for 551ml

update file size 42.06 MB
[ZenFone 2 General] kanagawaben:
I won't bother with this one - I gather I wouldn't need to unroot first because used root method 3, but I probably would still unfreeze apps and unroot just to be safe. Too much hassle for this OTA, which does nothing relevant to me as far as I can see.
[ZenFone 2 General] KuGeL94:
I CAN NOT BELIEVE HOW LUCKY I AM!!!

I am rooted with method 3 so I wasn't afraid of updating the OTA, I saw the update came, downloaded it and installed it quickly.

But then I remembered that I had some ASUS Apps and Bloatware frozen, I thought I would get a Bootloop and then I would have to downgrade and lose all my data, but once the update was installed, I couldn't boot normally even from the recovery mode, it forced me to install the OTA, after the bootanimation I saw Apps being updated x out of 128... Hope it works well even with frozen apps, am at App 93 out of 128 now, wish me luck. :D

Maybe there is a 50%-50% chance to get Bootloop with frozen Apps.
[ZenFone 2 General] arminxa:
I received the update too. Can anyone notice any difference?

.22 was awful, before that I got through the day with 20-30% available at night, but .22 crushed my battery.
[ZenFone 2 General] whynottoday:
Is it available for 551 as well?
[ZenFone 2 General] marcof93:
Trust me, don't do it..probably he is not getting bootloop because .23 is not upgrading apps but only something in the code, if arrives an update that updates the apps or parts of them, you will get bootloop.
[ZenFone 2 General] mhp1995:
I am sorry i didn't get u... "upgrading apps but only something in the code, if arrives an update that updates the apps or parts of them, you will get bootloop"??
[ZenFone 2 General] marcof93:
On the 551 they released the .22 update that added this:

"1 Add kill switch (Anti-theft) function for US and Canada regulation.

2 Improve modem capability in India

3 Fixed the issue that cannot phone with Tailand True Provider SIM1."

As you can see, they didn't update translation (for example) or anything regarding the ZenUI (probably this .23 is the .22 we received on the 551).

In the past Asus released updates that included upgrades in apps like "power saver", or updated transations in other apps, if they are frozen, when the phones tries to create the new cache for the app, it will bootloop.. this update doesn't touch your apps.

You understood now?
[ZenFone 2 General] mhp1995:
Ohhh i didnt thought of that :good: thanks for the save... btw does the bootloop occur only on this device or it happens with all the android devices? For samsung and other devices if u freeze the apps and update via ota does it also gets into a bootloop or is it specific to this device?
[ZenFone 2 General] marcof93:
I think it's the same, the system needs to create the new caches and finalize the update, I can't test it but I think it's the same, because it's android related and not Asus only.
[ZenFone 2 General] mohlsen8:
yeah seriously i just came back around to see what everyone was saying about .22. my battery's real bad the last few days. this thing had awesome battery for me on each update prior to this one. this sucks now.
