Asus Zenfone 2, Sim 1 not working after TWRP restore

As it seems this may be an issue with TWRP, restore functions.

I did a backup of my Zenfone ZE551ML or Z00AD with 2.20.40.97, rooted and bootloader unlocked, with TWRP 2.8.7.2. Then I proceeded with installing the new Cyanongen 12.1 Rom, setup my apps and did another complete backup.

Although, I needed some data from a few apps, personal data, i.e. PGP personal key and a encrypted text backup key, that I forgot to put on my External MicroSD storage card before I did the Cyanongen 12.1 Rom upgrade/update. So upon Restoring using TWRP backup of my original stock rom, was the first sign of SIM 1 no longer working for me.

A subsequent Restore using TWRP with my new backup of my Cyanongen 12.1 Rom, now had the same issue, SIM 1 not working.

Install of modded rom went perfectly, as well as the backups.

I found another post here which should be linked to this thread I believe, which stated that other people have had issues with SIM 1 not working after a Restore using TWRP. Which was my experience as well. As a restore to either my stock and rooted backup, also had the SIM 1 issue, and then restoring back to my Cyanongen 12.1 backup still had the SIM 1 issue.

SIM 2 does still work, although the main issue here is cellular data only, as Zenfone 2 SIM2 does not allow cellular data.

*note I do have another Zenfone 2 that I don't use any SIM's for so, only wireless data, this issue isn't always an issue depending on your use.

link to other forum thread http://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/help/sim1-doesnt-asus-zenfone-2-t3217474

Basically this thread states that installing any Rom, stock or any other Custom Rom available, as a new Install through either adb commands sideloading or using TWRP will fix it.

I can confirm that this worked for me, and my SIM 1 does indeed work again :D. I used the Paranoid Rom and recommended Gapps for this Rom as a new Install and TWRP to install it.

Only question I have, is can I do TWRP restores from previously created backups using adb command lines and sideloading them in order to switch between my Rom's?

I do know that I can sideload .zip's but not sure if TWRP backups can be one of those .zip's or not or what additional issue's it may create, if any. Forgive me if this is posted somewhere I did not search the forums before asking the above question. Just wanted to share my experience for others on this topic.

If so, then it would be a great workaround until the TWRP restore function gets fixed, that is if it is even a TWRP issue to resolve.

Moderators feel free to move this post if you think it doesn't belong here or could be better somewhere else.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HaiKaiDo:
hey guys, i just gave my father the nexus 5 and hes using it for straight talk and its working quite well. ive already unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom 4.4.4 rom (as thats what i was using before i got the nexus 6). is there anything special i need to do to install a rom like Chroma 5.1.1 at this point? Thanks for any help :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
If the bootloader is unlocked then you should be fine. I had some radio problems and I flashed about 10 ROMs, including Chroma, without any problems (but never did fix the radio). The simplest thing would be to install a Nexus factory image - LMY48I is the latest version and is pretty much one-click (if you have drivers, ADB & Fastboot installed ok).

Just for my curiosity, if it's working fine, why install a new ROM? I know my own answer - because it's there... :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldubs:
To go from 4.4 ROM to 5.x rom you should flash the updated bootloader and radio first. Then wipe system data and cache andd flash the new ROM.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HaiKaiDo:
Well I have him on a stock 4.4.4 rom and the battery life is a little lacking and he keeps getting the annoying nag message for the OTA to 5.x.x (i know theres a way to get rid of that but i guess id rather just update). Also I dont see any roms being actively worked on for 4.x.x. Unless there is one that you recommend?

Is there a thread that maintains the radios and bootloaders? I dont see one myself and am not sure which to get (and are there different ones depending on which carrier you use?)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldubs:
There is a thread with all the latest radios. I have a flashable zip but its old...you can also just extract the latest factory images and just flash the bootloader and radio.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
I'm missing the point here...

Was the original question not "Can I easily flash 5.1.1?" And the answer is "Yes". So why has the focus switched to Kitkat and flashing separate components, surely not the simplest way of getting a working integrated device...? Installation of the factory Nexus ROM, or the Chroma ROM, will wipe everything anyway unless you specify "no wipe", which isn't recommended for a major change.

Am I misunderstanding?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HaiKaiDo:
Just a bit I think. I think its because I kind of ended up adding another question to the thread sort of. Right now the phone is using all parts associated with 4.4.4 (I.E. Radio & Bootloader) and a stock 4.4.4 rom. I originally wanted to know if i could just flash a custom 5.x.x rom without needing to flashing a new bootloader or radio as i wasnt sure if there were ones. Then I also asked if there was a rom that is still under development for 4.4.4 that was worth a shot. Sorry If i made it more confusing with this post lol.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
But why stick with Kitkat and jump through hoops with all the concomitant risks when you can one-click upgrade to the newest version? I'm still not getting why you're asking about Kitkat when you originally asked if it was easy/safe to upgrade to Lollipop 5.1.1.

Hint - yes, it is.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DonDizzurp:
Your best bet would be to flash the factory image. This will update the radio and bootloader. Then reinstall the recovery and flash away.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HaiKaiDo:
Yeah I think ill do this. Seems faster than just flashing the bootloader and radio separate. now to backup all his junk on the phone lol.
[Amazon Fire Phone] pressingonalways:
As many of you know, the latest version of google play services does not work on the Fire Phone. It is extremely annoying for most of us that google play services updates itself to the latest version and crashes/fails to work. There is a very simple way to lock Google Play Services to whatever version you want if you have root - here's how:

#1. Install the version of google play that you want. Uninstall the new version and reinstall the old version if you have to.

#2. Open up a file explorer such as ES File Explorer.

#3. Navigate to /data/app.

#4. Create a new directory and name it com.google.android.gms-2.apk. If that file already exists, name it com.google.android.gms-1.apk.

Done!

The next time google tries to update itself, you might see an error such as "no disk space". Basically what is happening is google doesn't expect a folder so it doesn't know how to overwrite it. Hopefully someone will be able to patch google play services for fire phone or we'll see a new Fire OS version based off of android 5.0, until then - here's a simple way to stick to the version of google play services that you want!
[Amazon Fire Phone] tk76:
Don't many apps like gmaps require the latest version of the store to function?
[Amazon Fire Phone] pressingonalways:
For me, Maps complains about requiring the latest version, but still runs... for hangouts, it wouldn't run so I gave up and just run hangouts 3.x version...

Basically, worst comes to worse, just run older versions of google software released around the time of your working version of google play services...
[Amazon Fire Phone] petermg:
What I do is I used the app DISABLE SERVICE(S) and I disable 3 auto updating services to Google Play, then I take the Google Play Services that I WANT and I set it as a SYSTEM APP, then even if it DOES get overwritten, I just "uninstall" the update and it reverts back to the "factory version" ;)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poopy2211:
So I am pretty new to android stuff and don't really know a lot. I rooted this phone, and saw somewhere that you have to unlock the bootloader to get custom roms. I went to work to find out how to do that, and tried to unlock it. When I would enter the command it would just show three dots and would not load anything else, and it wouldn't let me try codes again. It was stuck with those three dots. I also had this app that said bootloader: unknown. Do I have to unlock the bootloader? If yes, how? Are there even any roms that could work on this phone? Thanks.

Are you talking about a 4 way boot menu that comes with custom roms?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] joe11784:
People are asking this on the youtube comments. It looks like its on the international phone, or your phone may need to be unlocked in order to access the feature. Users with T-Mobile, Sprint and Verizon have all said their phone doesn't have it either. I am assuming this is the video you were watching (see around 3:10) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPD8Aotsewg
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Briankbl:
Thanks. Yeah, that's the video in question. Being on the international version only would make sense, though it's still odd that something useful like that would be limited to only one version of the phone.

Hi all

I am new to android world and few days back I soft bricked my phone but was able to successfully get it fixed after lot of searching on google and experimentation.

I had to install stock rom for starting my phone

But I want to install a custom rom. So can you guys tell me which is the best ROM I can install on my phone.

I have seen several lists of ROMS but i am confused that whether they will work on infocus or not.

Will Cynogen Mod work on this device?

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.

I'm sorry to hear about your trouble but we cannot provide technical support nor can other members reply to your posts here on XDA Assist. There is no forum specifically for the infocus M2 at this time but I suggest that you ask your question with all relevant details in the friendly general Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum at http://xdaforums.com/android/help. That's a good place to start where members familiar with your device might be able to advise you. I also see a number of references to your model from a site search at http://xdaforums.com/sitesearch.php?q=infocus m2 which might be worth reviewing.

Good luck!

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you wont be able to install it without root. it does not install like a regular app. you need to place it into either /system/app/ or /system/priv-app/ then reboot for it to install itself. stock you cant do that, with root you can.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serdel_elo:
I just did it. Do you think it will automaticly update via playstore. Because it is still shows 5.1 version there
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
I am curious why you want to update.

On my N6 Google app 4.1.29 etc is still working. Downgrade was necessary, else the Black Google Now launcher will become white instead of black.

Secondly I need to block Google app from updating.

Maybe you need to check your settings concerning auto updates.

Play store - My apps - Google app - above right 3 dots - auto update - check box.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serdel_elo:
I know where i can find that. It was all working well but the update to 5.2 doesn't showed up and i'm wondering why, where on my wifes s3mini it is updated already. You know what i mean?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
Yes know what you mean. Because you are complete stock, I cannot see/find a reason when update settings are correct.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
updating it to 5.2 changes googles layouts for google now(more colorful and better tiles for info), and it changes your app drawerer to a side scrolling version, instead of the m up and down version. i changed mine yesterday to see what the big deal is. to be honest, google now looks much better.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
I'll be honest to. I am using dpi 384. And the Black Google Now launcher. I love it and the drawer has also side scrolling.

I wish I had the power to kick Google's ass to make sure we get a marshmallow with a Light/Dark Material switch.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serdel_elo:

Hello, all. I'm working on an exploit to unlock the Verizon Moto E 2015's bootloader. I have achieved temporary root, but it is reset on reboot.

[9/05] Rerooted my device about 30 million times today. SystemUI keeps crashing and forcing a reboot. Can't get a permanent "hobbled root" yet, like some have managed.

[9/05] Moved the su binary into every folder where command binaries are stored (sbin, xbin, bin, etc.) and all were reset upon a reboot. And for some reason, on another test, all partitions somehow got remounted as read-only.

[9/05] Tried editing a script in /system/etc (init.qcom.bt.sh) to install su binary on boot; script reverted to original on reboot

Hi Bhamilto0347,

I am interested. Previously I had permanent root by Kingroot app. But after factory reset I lost the root. Now again I tried Kingroot, but root not surviving the reboot.

Well, I'm working with the KingRoot app, too. I've just been looking for a way for it to stick. I haven't got it to mount in read/write yet, and it fails when I run the command while I have temp. root. I have a theory about unlocking the bootloader IF I can get permanent root.

I had it on 5.1

Then once I did factory reset & lost the root.

Now I try to get root by Kingroot but not sticking.....

While doing kingroot method, I found that /system partition mounts in rw mode for short period (5to10sec) after kingroot's 100% progress... I have created a script which will copy su & busybox to /system/xbin. I ran the script immediately after Kingroot's success as root user. Able to copy files to /system/xbin but not sticking reboot.

The system partition what we are seeing may not be an actual but shadow copy one which every time creates upon reboot from original one.

Hope the above information helps you.

[–]timbogerModified 1 point 3 months ago

It is safe. The king master that is installed is a toolbox, of sorts. Uninstall, Pandora, etc. There is even a script that will give you temp root if permanent root fails. All in all i would say its OK. I would suggest supersu over superuser. I just rooted an old s3 i had.

not sure though, use with caution but root sticks after reboot,

Hi,

I have had my mi3 for over a year now and i am quite happy with it except for the fact that if I turn my GPS on and turn it off, it still seems to run in the background sucking away on the battery unless i restart the phone. It's just this problem that pushed me towards custom roms, where this problem was solved but I love mi3 stock sound and camera quality. So i did a clean install of miui v6 6.6.4.0 KXDMICF and behold, the bug is still there.

Can anyone confirm if this is a standard bug. Just turn on and off your GPS, and after 2 hours or so check, settings ->additional settings ->battery -> battery use -> press the tiny clock icon on the top right and see if "GPS on" below the graph was blue for last 2 hours.

If this is a standard issue, it might mean a lot of people can get even better battery life from their devices and appreciate their device more :).
