[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jhyrachy:
Hi,

my "old" moto g 2014 broke few days ago and now i need a new smartphone.

Since i can spend max 200€ there are really few options and i was thinking about hte Asus Zenfone 2 Laser ZE500KL [the one with the Snapdragon 410] (200€ here)

But I know no one who has it and i have lot of question:

can i root it? there is a "scene" support?

It has a "cheap plastic" feel?

How long the battery last?

Is the screen good enough?

Any downside?

It's weak?

it's "scratch-friendly"?

You will suggest another phone?

Thanks a lot!
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cLeAv0:
Root for now will be hard because I can't access the bootloader. Probably needs other root methods that aren't discovered yet. It actually has a premium feel to it and has good build quality. Battery life is good. I keep my mobile data on + smart power saving feature and it really helps. It has Gorilla Glass 4 which is the latest I think. But still it's better to add screen protection to be sure. As per performance it's all smooth on light to moderate tasks with occasional stuttering when having 5+ apps open. (Probably due to killing some tasks to free RAM)

I plan on creating custom ROMS and kernels for myself if we get to unlock it's bootloader but I can release it if there's not enough devs.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jhyrachy:
Thanks a lot for your answer.

I thought root would have been easy since Asus released the kernel source.

Sad to be wrong.

Ram could not gave me more problem then my old Moto G since it has double the amount. My worries were more about the Zen UI being laggy (I always used cyanogenmod and nearly stock android, I have no experience with custom UI)

There are different phone you suggest for the same price tag or this is one of the best in his range?

Thanks!
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajlko:
Zen UI is no laggy, it works very well.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cLeAv0:
Yes as much as ASUS puts bloatware zenui is smooth. And you can also uninstall/disable preloaded apps. For me the only downside on ze500kl is we don't know how long it is gonna get updated and how development will progress. Other than that it is a solid buy. I also thought it's gonna be easy to develop because of released kernel sources but still we can't place a custom kernel in it without flashing.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jhyrachy:
Pulling it out of my ass, but can we dump boot.img and recovery.img? The bootloader is locked?

Trough adb we can boot a custom recovery without flashing (adb boot myrecovery.img) and if we get a really simple recovery to work we can push supersu.apk in System and get root access.

I read that other People rooted others snapdragon 410 using this way
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajlko:
unable to find any recovery.img in full firmware or in kernel.

not able to pull from adb.

at present we have no custom recovery, neither any developer seems to help :(
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jhyrachy:
I'm not really expert in android devolopmente but i'll take a look when i'll get it :)
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajlko:
we will wait :)
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jhyrachy:
I'll ask here to not make a new topic.

Someone with a ze500kl can make an Antutu benchmark?

[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miau9202:
recovery is a patched boot.img, and the patch is present in OTA package. (at least in 118)

although I can't ensure manual patched recovery is same as in phone,

it can directly boot from bootloader and is no need to flash.

recovery is attached. (it's not a flashable zip)

We've already had this awesome screen off memo port but the other great Note 5 feature that I'm jealous of is the scrolling capture one - if you've not seen this yet it's an extension of screen write that can scroll down a webpage and stitch screenshots together, converting them to one long image file that can still be drawn on in the usual way.

In theory this should be an APK, right? Is it possible to port it backwards?
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] liogia:
the scrolling capture is based in 64 bit and the most devs.say that he cant work never in 32 bit

Yes I just tried, managed to fix the apk's codes but the Libs are failing as they are 64 bit (details in screenshot).

Don't know if they can ever be re-compiled to 32 bits.

[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] ithehappy:
LOL! You dug up an old topic mate, or I should say the user above you actually dug it up. When this post was created all our Note 4s were on LP, Scroll Capture wasn't available that time, it was brought in with the MM update, now everyone on MM has it, as a built in feature :laugh:
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Momaamoun:
You can simply install Good Lock and you will have it. No root and it's working on my SM-N910C. And probably it will work on other models as well since it's an apk file.

I've just been planing out how i'm gonna root, twrp, exposed etc. Of particular concern to me is being able to return to stock when the marshmallow ota arrives. I came across this, regarding the moto x 2014

"Thanks. I'm pretty sure I can just fastboot flash [stock] recovery and then do a factory reset and be back to 100% stock. That's what I'm going to try anyway. Update, it worked. Just fastboot flash recovery recovery.img then factory reset and my phone is back to stock. Now to send it back to Motorola and get my new one!"

So do you think i'll be able to do this? (using the recovery.img for the moto x style, of course)

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Title. Basically ever since I started working, I've been walking a lot. My phone, being a damn sensitive piece of tech, kept turning on and thought the inner of my pockets are my fingers. I wouldn't realise it until my phone became really hot because for some reason it always goes into Airplane mode, turns on flashlight, turns off my mobile data, disable auto rotate and it enables hotspot and Bluetooth. If anyone has this problem, what is your solution to this?

I know there is an option to hide the status bar but while that is active there is still an option to make it appear by swiping it down.

The thing I want is to completely disable the status bar. I am currently trying to make my homescreen to be just a picture and nothing more and control it by gestures and the status bar is now in a way.

Has anyone had problems specific to WM6 with VPN connections? I use a Microsoft PPTP VPN to connect back to work, and while the VPN connects and I can access resources on the other end with WM5, WM6 authenticates with the VPN server but never actually connects to servers on the other end. I get error 502 (bad gateway) connecting to web pages, and various shades of "the server could not be found" using Terminal Services, etc. The VPN server logs a successful connection from either OS, but only WM5 seems to be able to connect to resources with the tunnel established. I've used Faria's and mfrazz's WM6 ROMs, and neither works.

If the VPN configuration was off in WM6 vs. WM5, I wouldn't get the "VPN user was granted access" events I use to track usage on the VPN server. Has anyone else seen similar issues? I love WM6 aside from this problem, which appears to be a show-stopper. For now, I'm back to Faria's WM5 so I can get some work done.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] 816:
So let me broaden the question a little. Does anyone use a WM6 ROM and successfully connect to resources behind a PPTP tunnel? Did it take any massaging on the settings to make the connection??
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ADB100:
I have test both PPTP & L2TP/IPSec....

I have tested both PPTP & L2TP/IPSec VPN's with WM6 (varients from all the base ROMs 5.2.318, 5.2.1713 & 5.2.1437) and I have got them all to work. PPTP works flawlessly all the time, however L2TP/IPSec seems to have some conflict with the networking stack & the VoIP stack and only works consistently the 1st time following a soft-reset.

I have tested it with Terminal Services Client to access an internal Windows Terminal Server and it worked fine.

What issues are you having? The main problems people seem to have are related to the logic of when a VPN connection will be used instead of the Internet Connection to send traffic - the Connection Settings etc.

Andy
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] 816:
With WM6 I create the VPN connection, add an exception for my work network, then try to open either a web page or RDP. GPRS connects, the VPN server is contacted soon thereafter, and then nothing happens. If I'm on PIE, I get a 502 error if I try to open URLs, and RDP returns "the server could not be located." I'm using servername.my.workdomain.net for RDP, with "*.my.workdomain.net/*" as the exception rule with both WM5 and WM6, but I can't get past the VPN endpoint with WM6. With WM5 (still using it for now), I can get to web pages and remote desktop without any problems.

Since the VPN is apparently connecting, and the VPN server's log shows my account is granted access, I'm thinking it's not the WM6 VPN configuration. I'm getting through that far, but there's something in the WM6 network stack that's not translating the destination URLs or host name correctly.

If only there was client logging for RDP and PIE...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] 816:
Still trying to work past this. The PIE error I get when connecting to web sites behind the VPN is:

Error 502 - Bad Request

The server could not resolve your request for uri: /

If I try to connect to directories under the root, the error is (for example):

Error 502 - Bad Request

The server could not resolve your request for uri: /docs

Not sure how I can troubleshoot this...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GryphusR:
Hi.

I was using my S2 i9100 as everyday but after a restart both the internal and external SD storage dissapeared and I only have available the internal (apps) storage.

After googling a bit I tried the following commands in the terminal:

su

echo mkdir /storage/sdcard0 > /data/local/userinit,sh

chmod 700 /data/local/userinit,sh

exit

exit

Going into settings>storage after doing this allows me to briefly see the missing devices (calculating disk use) but then they quickly dissapear again, after a couple of seconds.

I booted into recovery and there I can see every folder and file in both devices so it's not a data corruption issue.

I fear flashing a new CM version if that means a wipe of my data folder, because I have some important app data I don't want to lose.

Any way to fix this or at least temporarily mount the devices so I can backup my data with titaniumbackup?

CM version is 11.0-InstallerXNPQ32P

Hi,

Which ROOT options do i have for this device? SCL-L01 (other versions : see UPDATE)

For some unknown reason this solution does not seem to work everytime on this types.

But better give it a try

You do not need to unlock your phone.

Just install :

http://www.appsandroidapk.com/tools/kingroot/

http://androidmtk.com/download-kingroot-application

UPDATE : known versions of Kingroot working : succeeded feedback by other members but not always succesfull.

SCL-L01 4.5.2 Build : SCL-L01C432B130, SCL-L01C150B140

SCL-L02 4.6.5

SCL-L03 4.6.5 Build : SCL-L03C25B130

SCL-U31 4.8.0 Build : SCL-U31C185B140 (but with unlocked bootloader)

(another user : with unlocked bootloader, sim card out, wifi ON, Kingroot 4.8.0 = success)

I suggest you try all versions when above list is not working for you. You'll never know ...

Feel free to post your rooted phone's BUILD number please to help others.

It's permanent. No worries. Let the app do its work.

Best thing is that you do not need to unlock bootloader etc. like some users propose to do. So not necessary to ask unlock code [MENTION=6029828]Huawei.[/MENTION] (warranty stays)

If i am not mistaken you can unroot too. (warranty not sure after root)

[Huawei Y6 Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
Hi,

i remember by running Kingroot the first time it said it didn't go by the usual "quick" root.

But after that message i could choose to do it 'manually' by selecting just a button to continue.

After that it went running for a couple of minutes, even a couple of time it rebooted and after that it said "rooted succesfully"

Checked it with rootchecker--OK !

Other apps like solid explorer, link2sd ect. asked for permissions to grant, so i am rooted by that way.

? Do you have the 2gb version with 2 sims ?

Yes I have the the 2gb and the 2 Sims. The screenshot u attached are after rooting success? Thanks for reply.

Yes, the sreens are taken after root.

Mine is a 1gb/1sim. Perhaps this will cause the problem. I do not now. But i suppose the 2gb/2sims might normally work too.

Perhaps someone with a Y6 2gb/2sims might give it a try and give feedback to this situation.

PS : Have you succeeded sofar?
