[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] znel52:
What's up guys? I'm about to pull the trigger on an 32gb unlocked nexus 6. I currently have a verizon galaxy s6 I have been running for a couple of months. I thought the display and awesome camera on the s6 might keep me content but it hasn't and I am dying to flash some AOSP roms and some custom kernels lol. I'm planning on keeping the s6 for times when I will be using the camera a lot but I am planning on using the nexus 6 most of the time.

Anyways, I'm sure most of you know about Amazon's prime day coming up July 15th. Do you guys think there is even a remote chance they have a deal on the nexus 6? I'm guessing the chances are very slim to none.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] znel52:
Well just went ahead and pulled the trigger. Can't wait! Amazon is supposed to return you the price difference if the item you buy drops in price within 7 days of purchase. This will be my first nexus!

So I looked at the bacon change logs for the nightlies and noticed a fingerprint scanner and duel sim option that was added into the code.

Check the nightly zip for yesterday (11th June)

http://www.cmxlog.com/12.1/bacon/

So does this hint that its duel sim?
[OnePlus 2 General] kutulu32:
Maybe they release a dual sim edition too.
[OnePlus 2 General] tetz88:
Can't wait :)
[OnePlus 2 General] PhantomGamers:
This is stuff being merged into CM for all devices, nothing to do with the OP2.

If anything this is probably related to the fact that Android M is going to have fingerprint support built into AOSP, so perhaps this is stuff that's being backported to Lollipop.
[OnePlus 2 General] Mackks:
Dual sim. Dual. D-U-A-L.

lol

Also, if it's dual sim and doesn't have an SD card slot, I'll hunt the designer down.
[OnePlus 2 General] itechy:
I'm English so I spell things differently ;) (and dyslexic)

I have to disagree with the sdcard slot as the only need is if you have tons of music or lots of 4K video...
[OnePlus 2 General] krislittle08:
I used to think removable sd was important but i struggle to fill the 32gb internal storage on my note 4 and it seems to cause some issues with software every once in a while so i think i can do without.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abshk211:
i have note 3 n9000 with gsm band support ... is there a way that it can support cdma and lte 4g bands .... when i removed the battery the sim slot is of 4 pins that means it can suppot lte also but the phone only shows gsm/wcdma options. is there any way to modify this ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heberth_12:
Hi, I have a note 3 n900a lte which one I check

mm in theory the phone conect to lte 4g in mexico band 4b for telcel

you might check if the phone model supports 4g

you must a chip compatible with 4g for to network provider

could you check in service mode *#2263# which type of conection have the phone

and for last your phone must have been unlocked by the network provider

[ZenFone 2 General] sorg:
I've made simplier way to unlock the bootloader of ZE551ML/ZE550ML.

Update! Version 2.

Now it's not required to flash/downgrade droidboot.img. But you still need to flash one of compatible ROM.

Currently compatible versions are:

For ZE551ML: v2.19.40.18, v2.19.40.20, v2.19.40.22 and future newer versions unless opposite mentioned.

For ZE550ML: v2.19.40.12, v2.19.40.13, v2.19.40.23 and future newer versions unless opposite mentioned.

For example, you can flash full ROM v2.19.40.22 and then use unlocker v2.

Just unzip everything from attached archive and then start unlock_one_click_v2.bat

If you've enable USB debugging then phone will automatically reboot to bootloader and will unlock the bootloader. If you didn't enable USB debugging, then you need to reboot to bootloader manually (Turn the phone off and disconnect USB, then press Power+VolumeUp keys at the same time and keep it pressed till you see ASUS logo, then you may connect USB cable).

Either way, unlock_one_click_v2.bat will proceed to unlock in fully automated way.

If initial boot splash screen become inverted, then bootloader has been unlocked!

If you don't like white boot screen, then you can flash original black one:

http://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/themes-apps/551-black-white-splashscreen-twrp-flash-t3141945

Originally, it's developed for WW firmware but should work on any region.

Works on CN firmware. Confirmed by @corrsea

Based on unlock method discovered by @shakalaca

Based on fastboot hack by @social-design-concepts
[ZenFone 2 General] sorg:
Version 1 (old)

To use this version, you need to flash ROM not older than v2.19.40.18 for ZE551ML, and v2.19.40.12 for ZE550ML. And then downgrade (if required) droidboot to compatible droidboot.img

fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img

For ZE551ML, known compatible droidboot.img versions are 2.19.40.18, 2.19.40.20.

For ZE550ML, known compatible droidboot.img versions are 2.19.40.12.
[ZenFone 2 General] sorg:
Important note for Stock ROM lovers:

Although, unlocker v2 works with v2.19.40.22, there is no warranty, it will continue to work on future versions. It is up to ASUS decision. Unlocking process still requires several files from /system partition including special version of if.bin (/system/etc/firmware/if.bin). These files are still supplied with v2.19.40.22, but in the future they can be removed by ASUS together with disable of downgrade ability for if.bin.

So, if you will flash future stock ROM through official update procedure (which includes bootloader update - from ifwi.zip) then you may loose unlocked bootloader! And of course, ASUS may completely block unlocking procedure (at least unofficial way).

So, if unlocked bootloader is important for you, then

1) unlock it ASAP while current firmware allows.

2) don't use official updates. You need to remove all lines from update script containing ifwi.zip references and then flash through TWRP (you need to remove lines checking recovery version as well).

[ZenFone 2 General] viit_saha:
you will continue receiving OTA update.

---------- Post added at 05:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 AM ----------

Hi

Is there anyway other than installing a third-party recovery to verify if the boot-loader is unlocked or locked ?

will it void warranty of the phone.
[ZenFone 2 General] azthemansays:
If you unlock the bootloader it will void the warranty, as there's no way currently to lock the bootloader again.

Are there news for the ZE500CL version?
[ZenFone 2 General] jarjarbingie:
I currently have .22 via OTA, so I can just proceed with unlocking the bootloader without any issues? because in the other thread, they are still saying there is no way to unlock bootloader without downgrading to .20 or .18.. TIA!

can you read what i've wrote in first post?
[ZenFone 2 General] jarjarbingie:
man, a simple "yes" would have been easier to type and more polite.. of course, I've read it, same with all the threads here.. that's why I've seen a conflicting statement in the bootloader thread, hence the attempt to "clarify".. not everyone here is as good as you are.. thanks anyway..

So im on v2.19.40.22 and ran Version 2

Phone rebooted went into stock recovery but it did nothing on there. The prompt on the PC said it was unlocked.

I manually rebooted my phone and the splashed looked the same.

Did i do something wrong?

Am i unlocked?

Can i verify if it's unlocked?

Thank You for you help.

[ZenFone 2 General] jeanne8fr:
Hello,

I am a little confused by these 2 lines.

The first line says:

But you still need to flash ROM not older than v2.19.40.18 for ZE551ML, and v2.19.40.12 for ZE550ML.

The second line says:

For example, you can flash full ROM v2.19.40.22 and then use unlocker v2.

So do I need a ROM no older than 2.19.40.18 or does 2.19.40.22 works fine?. As far as I know. 2.19.40.22 is older than 2.19.40.18.

Please clarify for me.

Thanks

Jeannette
[ZenFone 2 General] jason4962:
V1 for anything under x.20

V2 for x.22

I think this is what it means but i may be wrong. Flash at your own risks
[ZenFone 2 General] jarjarbingie:
.18 is older than .22 I believe..
[ZenFone 2 General] jeanne8fr:
Which makes it even more confusing.

Why don't you say which rom we can use instead of which we cannot.
[ZenFone 2 General] sorg:
Because I've made unlocker not for one specific ROM version, but for any existing starting from .18 and newer.

.18 is older than .22, where is confusing?

I understand, that we live in time of smart phones and stupid people, but try to be on par with your phone at least. I've tried my best to explain in the OP what ROM versions you can use. I've made some bold text, some red text to take some attention. I've wrote example especially for .22 version! If it doesn't help, then i don't know what else can i do. How .18 cannot be obviously older than .22?
[ZenFone 2 General] sorg:
I've updated the OP, wrote compatible (as of today) versions. If even this is not clear enough, then i give up.

And no, at this time the bootloader stays unlocked...
[ZenFone 2 General] salvoza96:
If you are the modified system files that create bootloop during ota update, the BOOTLOADER unlocked should not create problems with the ota updates. I rephrase the question, can I continue to receive updates ota after unlocking BOOTLOADER?

hi if anyone have problem with this tools can try in this way

0-move the files in tools folder (in ZF2_one_click_unlock_by_sorg_v2.zip)to adb folder (in my case C:\adb)

1- reboot in fastboot mode

2 - insert the following commands

fastboot oem start_partitioning
fastboot flash /tmp/start.sh unlock1
fastboot flash /tmp/recovery.launcher unlock2
fastboot flash /system/bin/logcat unlock3
fastboot flash /tmp/unlock unlock4
fastboot oem stop_partitioning

3- reboot and check if splash screen become inverted

in my case worked :good: tested on ze551ml (deluxe edition) with android 5.0 fw 2.20.40.174 pre-rooted (i've follow this step for root system http://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/general/asus-zenfone-2-flashing-recovery-mode-t3096596)

just for clarity my problem was this:

start unlock_one_click_v2.bat
in fastboot mode
Starting unlock...
Done.

Bootloader should do the rest unlocking actions
and then will reboot and become unlocked
if boot screen become inverted.

Press any key to continue . .
But bootloader was still locked

I hope it is helpful ;)

[ZenFone 2 General] Aquaster:
Hello guys,

I need your help with my Asus Memopad 7 tablet. I need to root them but I cannot unlock bootloader.

I have been searching and trying for 2weeks how to unlock the bootloader, nothing works.

According to the K01a model, I found countless tutorials (here, youtube, other forums that led again to xda...) and everywhere the bootloader for the K01a model ME170...,173,.... was described. But nothing worked, even though a few methods had some cooperation with the tablet, but without results.

I'm glad I locked the tablet.

I only found out from ASUS support that my K01a model is the ME70C version based on the serial number.

I'm looking for how to unlock the bootloader for the ME70C, but the instructions are nowhere to be found.

And if I find this one, it is listed here in the procedure for "downgrade" with android 5 installed.

On the contrary, I need an upgrade from Android 4.3. to 5 or 6 ( :-D ) so that I can use apps whose support ended for android 4.

How did you manage to unlock the bootloader to install android 5 on your tablet?

I was trying update to UL-K01A-WW-12.8.1.41-user but the upgrade will not complete ( i'm guessing because i still have build 10.32.1.....)

Asus Memopad7 for Europe distribution: Model K01A (ME70C), Android 4.3, Kernel version: 3.4.43 android@Scorpio #1 Tue Jul 22 14:38:47 CST 2014

Build number: JSS15Q.WW_MeMo_Pad-10.32.1.31.3-20140722

My bootloader has only menu:

Reboot droidboot

Reboot

Factory recovery

SD Download

Power Off

SD Update
