No, but it's a scenario that if I could just buy one protector it's better. The Rhino shield from what I've seen absorbs a lot of the impact from things. Imagine you accidentally drop your phone onto a rock or something. Your screen protector breaks and you need a new one and if there's too much force the screen below breaks, rhino shield (supposedly) absorbs it and can take the impact from falling on something better. Using a metal ball is just an easy way to show off the situation.

If you could tell me if there's any big difference when you do get it, that would be appreciated. Mainly because $50 is a lot to spend on a bumper+screen protector and I would like to know!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] MYxdaUSERNAME:
So does anyone know if they're actually making this bumper and screen guard combo (I'd like the back of the phone protector, personally) for the 6p?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] AshranPewter:
I sent them an email and they said they are. Many others have said they got the same email back as well so here's hoping they do.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] MYxdaUSERNAME:
Yep, they just got back to me confirming they'll be releasing at least the bumper in "upcoming weeks" and that it'll be announced first on their Facebook page.

Hoping they do the whole package so I can get one of their back of the phone screen protectors. Wanna keep that aluminum sexy. :cool:

What are the dimensions with the bumper on? I'm looking to get this case and use it with a mount for a camera tripod.

Curious, Is this bumper annoying to game with?

Hey, I'm having slow charging on the Nexus 7, I've read reseating the charger and ports sometimes works. But before I try that I'd like to upgrade the bootloader to the latest one, anyone got a link, ideally a zip but wouldn't mind the img.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] rbtady:
Thank you for making this. I kept the rom on stock. When trying to use this, I was unable to get the battery icon. Does something need to be changed with the framework manually?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] The Kid Cassidy:
How can I get the stock boot splash back? I just Odin'd the stock D0l1 firmware cause was gonna take phone in to jump to another phone. When it booted up the custom splash is still there but everything else is back to stock?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] stangdriver44:
The battery icon requires a modded systemui that had 3minit battery mod.

There is an option at the very bottom of the splash screen section.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] video maker:
good job
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] unciviilized:
Will this mod work with marshmellow?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] GayCasper:
Yeah I wanna know too
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ashishpmb:
Is there any development/support here?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Obeythenerds:
Is this stable for MM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] stangdriver44:
No, sorry this specific project is not recommended for MM.

I have other projects that are priority and because the interest level here seemed low I've never fully updated this whole project.

If you're looking for some of my work that is compatible and tested with MM, I have several sections of this project pulled out individual flashing, which are Aroma built and have many options.

You can check the following:

**OZOP MM v5 which has all of the following plus the optional OZOP rom install.

All of the choices available in the full OZOP zip are optional and can be selected anytime with any rom.

If you choose to install the "Rom" part you will get the OZOP Control app which includes over 400 mods, that are all optional and set to "stock" samsung values by default.

If you choose not to install the rom, the other options (like debloating, tweaks etc) are compatible with all S6 flat/edge roms (not including ports)

1) Boot/shutdown animations and boot splash logos

2) Latest Viper4Android installer with stock kernel support and additional convolver pack

3) System Animation

Hope that helps you get what you were looking for from this project?

May I ask exactly what it was you were looking for?

Good luck and good day!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Obeythenerds:
I think you got it spot on with this rom, basically has everything I wanted! Thank you!

Update: Date stamp on the APK of 7/23/2015 is interesting. Ran on my unlocked ZE551ML and after accepting the terms of use, it complained that my model was not supported.
[ZenFone 2 General] Frankenberrie:
Oh crap nice find... Now if I use this I cannot or can do ota updates?
[ZenFone 2 General] stefanthehuman:
Worked here perfectly fine! Thanks!! Make sure you are on a stock ROM when you try
[ZenFone 2 General] MatteXperiaU:
this is a great step!! thank you!!!

i checked: there is also for ZE550ML !!! :) :) :)
[ZenFone 2 General] us2rugrats:
It's announced now

Khanger posted the announcement on reddit about an hour ago in /r/zenfone2/
[ZenFone 2 General] Aceofzeroz:
Took 7 months but it's finally here haha. :D
[ZenFone 2 General] onurd:
Is there a difference between the official unlock and the previously known method of unofficial unlock? Unlocked bootloader is the same either way, correct?
[ZenFone 2 General] jason4962:
Reddit thread says you will not get OTA after using this file.
[ZenFone 2 General] roach9:
Would like to know this as well.
[ZenFone 2 General] gontie:
Sad it does only concern 551ml version.
[ZenFone 2 General] sumean:
A, Does this unlock automatically give root?

B, And lets say I use this BUT I remain with stock, will I still be barred from OTA?
[ZenFone 2 General] RealYoti:
550 - direct download (source page, look under "Utilities"), mirror: mega

551 - direct download (source page, look under "Utilities"), mirror: mega
[ZenFone 2 General] MatteXperiaU:
nope :)

also for 550ml version :)

under utilities
[ZenFone 2 General] rlaw:
A) why would it? Root access and unlocking bootloader are completely different things.

B) if you unlock via official method, your warranty is void and your phone is barred from receiving OTAs.
[ZenFone 2 General] rivethead23:
I understand it voids the warranty but what I don't understand is why no updates? If you take an OTA and it hoses your out of warranty phone its on you.
[ZenFone 2 General] Druboo666:
hope someone discover relock method
[ZenFone 2 General] Level99:
From the official unlock, there likely will never be a way to relock and get back OTA functionality. That being said, adb sideloading OTA files should still work. Reasoning as such:

* Unlocking your device using the official APK sends a notification to ASUS that your device is now unlocked, out of warranty, and will not have OTAs pushed to it.

* Whether or not you can manually grab OTAs using the system app has yet to be seen, as we haven't received a new update since the official bootloader unlock method has been released. Personally, I believe our SSIDs will be blocked from getting anything from the OTA server based on the verbage in the disclaimer.

* adb sideloading a ZIP file should have no reliance on the bootloader status. As long as you're flashing the right file, it should work because adb sideload has no internet functionality so it can't call home to check on your ability to flash things. It would be a very poor decision to actively bar users who do the unlock from using official firmware updates on their own terms.

Anyways, I'm adventurous so I've taken the plunge of my own accord. I don't plan to put TWRP on or flash CM12.1 until the majority of the CM bugs have been resolved. When the next OTA comes out, I'll post my experience in obtaining and flashing it so that others can know if they want to unlock the bootloader officially as well.

I will comment specifically that Motorola bootloader unlocks did not bar their users from getting official OTAs after the fact. It is an assumed risk to unlock the bootloader and it's a bit salty to basically say "well, you did this, you don't deserve to automatically get what we're baking for you now". The fact that we got an official unlock at all is scores above what most other manufacturers have done, though. Hopefully, ASUS backs off of the no-OTA thing at some point as it is a bit unnecessary. At worst case, I'm trusting us all here at XDA to work your magic if we end up in a corner somehow.
[ZenFone 2 General] MatteXperiaU:
my question is: if their unlocking method brick my phone???? warranty is expired and they don't take him ???

this method is a weird thing.
[ZenFone 2 General] Level99:
Attempting to unlock your phone is the same this as actually unlocking your phone: you're taking it's life in your hands. If you brick it trying to unlock it, it's not covered. If something happens to it after it's been unlocked, it's not covered. This does not necessarily mean that they won't repair it, it means that:

a) any repairs cost money out of pocket and

b) they have the right to say a device is unrepairable and send it back to you with no obligation to fix it or compensate you in any way.

Them's the breaks for being a tinkerer!
[ZenFone 2 General] MatteXperiaU:
yeah, i think there are no phones with unlocked bootloader and warranty ok..

the only way is relock bootloader..no news for that now..

you said it is not possible..are you sure? :( i think unlock bootloader is an offline method?
[ZenFone 2 General] Frankenberrie:
I never unlocked or rooted my phone.. I just went to recovery to wipe my cache due to apps acting funky and I noticed my bootloader says unknown... Is this normal? Aren't you guys having this issue?
[ZenFone 2 General] scopty:
Man I bought my phone yesterday ... based on the fact that I can unlock the bootloader officially !!!

All I did was upgrade OTA and try to use the tool .. now I am stuck with the 5 sec reboot .

Based on this thread alot of people are seeing this issue.

I work in software, and saying only a "small number of people" see a total Faulkner of the main flow, means the application is not ready for release, because of the end result !!

If the failure would have left users with the ability to reverse the result then no issue ... but we are all stuck!!!

I understand how hard it can be to get RnD to admit they made a mistake (it's may daily job :) ) ... but it's critical they do ... that tool should be down ! till they fix it.

Thanks
[ZenFone 2 General] :
Come to think of it I'm pretty sure mine said that too when I booted to recovery before any of this. I wonder if it's related...
[ZenFone 2 General] samijam:
mine also had bootloader unknown and fastboot wasn't working before either. (adb was)

I think they should take the tool down
[ZenFone 2 General] creison:
How Asus know the amount of peaple who used the tool without problem?

If the source is the number that shows the server, it does not reflect the actual number because many peaple who used the UB tool to unlock, may be with the UB status in the Asus server without actually be.

So it is notorius the tool has problems, and the most prudent thing to do is remove the server tool in my opinion.

Asus needs to admit that the tool has problems and this yes is affecting more and more people for the simple fact of not having any information relating to unexpected problems.

If i was informed that the tool in addition to doing what it was supposed to do was damage the unit I would never use it, all the information contained in the tool refers to any issues after the bootloader unlocked and not that it is beta or has lots of problems and so can do which is not expected.

Thats only my opinion.
[ZenFone 2 General] ASUS_Khang:
They'll know how many used it successfully because it registers with the server and then get data from me.
[ZenFone 2 General] DeathStolas:
We appreciate the effort your putting into this sir! Are they working on a fix for us, or are we up the creek with no paddle?
[ZenFone 2 General] drbobb:
Wait. What makes you believe that everyone who was affected by the buggy unlocker is on XDA and has contacted you?
[ZenFone 2 General] ASUS_Khang:
Its the only thing I can work with. They aren't absolute. So the more people respond on this thread, the better.

---------- Post added at 11:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 AM ----------

You're welcome! I'm trying to get updates from the team... I don't have a status update yet... Please stay patient! :)
[ZenFone 2 General] Kona67:
I am patient but is difficult without a rooted phone :( Thanks for your efforts.
[ZenFone 2 General] Treklof:
I rooted but let the bootloader be.

Droidboot says:

Bootloader Version - unknown

Serial Number 0123456789ABCDEF

Signing - ?

Secure_Boot - ?

I bought my Phone a few Weeks ago from Amazon.fr directly and of chause as "new". The serial Number is the standard, that you get, wenn you RMA your device to ASUS and they have to change your mainboard. I had that with my Memo Pad 7 (me176c).

WTF?

I am interested to know, if anyone of the Badluck-Droidloop-Guys hat this standard serial number?

Please tell. THX. Still don´t know if I dare to open the Bootloader.
[ZenFone 2 General] sTIMulat3:
Yep I'm pretty sure mine said that too.
[ZenFone 2 General] creison:
Mine is the same.
[ZenFone 2 General] ASUS_Khang:
Just an update folks: The team at HQ verified that our SNs show that our phones registered as unlocked. They seem to have trouble duplicating the issue and are wondering which firmware we were on prior to using the tool. Can you confirm that you guys were on the latest firmware? Also did you guys get a black or white screen after "unlock" You can PM me so we don't clog the thread.
[ZenFone 2 General] Kona67:
My splash screen is white and I'm on the latest firmware.

Edit : sorry I replied on wrong section.
[ZenFone 2 General] Frankenberrie:
Just give them your phone asus khang
[ZenFone 2 General] Guelo_tweaks:
I'm on 20.40.97

The screen is black.
[ZenFone 2 General] AL_IRAQI:
[MENTION=6134800]Treklof[/MENTION] after reboot to bootloader press volume up and it will show your serial number

Other informations blocked by Asus
[ZenFone 2 General] dima2006:
I'm on 20.40.97

But the screen is white.
[ZenFone 2 General] :
I managed to get in to fastboot and it NOT reboot on me.

I help power up and volume, and forgot to let go of power up. Eventually it'll kind of reboot fastboot really quick and you *might* notice the serial number change from 1234567890ABCDEF to what looks like a valid serial...

Once it looks valid, I let go of volume up and the device says "RESULT: Fail(can not mount the necessarry partition)" but it's NOT rebooting. I currently have fastboot.

What should I try?!
[ZenFone 2 General] DeathStolas:
I got to that once. Kept telling me partiton not available. But you may have other ideas I did not try.
[ZenFone 2 General] :
I just tried flashing a TWRP image and got a data transfer error so it wouldn't flash...

I seem to reliably get fastboot to stay up without rebooting on me following this "trick" so maybe I can attempt something from fastboot if anyone has any ideas? I tried using the "one click bootloader unlock v2" tool on the forum here and fastboot actually crashes on my computer. Not sure where in the process it happens though (I never looked further) but anyhow that didn't do anything useful.

Ideas? I'm all ears...
[ZenFone 2 General] DeathStolas:
You've tried what I've tried. And got the same closing error on my pc as well, maybe could try to push the bootloader but, treading in dangerous waters with the fast boot being unstable, for lack of better words. Or maybe flash the devices fastboot. Not too sure. Well beyond my understanding for sure
[ZenFone 2 General] :
I tried just doing a fastboot boot twrp.img and it fails to transfer that even.

And here I was all excited that I had fastboot that wasn't rebooting! DANG!

---------- Post added at 04:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ----------

Uh oh.

Now it won't boot. Sitting at the "ASUS - In Search Of Incredible" screen for a solid five minutes.

Tried wiping cache in recovery and it sat there for five minutes too...

Any ideas?
[ZenFone 2 General] DeathStolas:
Boot to recovery adb sideload the firmware., reboot, hopefully fix you up.
[ZenFone 2 General] :
Recovery seems broken now. I have a little dead android with the word 'error' and it flashes. Power plus volume up does nothing.

I think I'm well and truly screwed now.
[ZenFone 2 General] Guelo_tweaks:
Oh yeah? Well why don't you go ahead and unregister my phone as unlocked in that server. My phone is not unlocked. Asus needs to own up to its mistake and fix this either by fixing my phone, or allowing me to continue updating.
[ZenFone 2 General] DeathStolas:
Keep trying with the dead Android dude, takes me forever to get it to switch
[ZenFone 2 General] :
Nope. I get a string of text on the screen but no recovery. And now when I boot it goes straight to a flashing dead android. I believe I have really pooched this thing now. Damn!
[ZenFone 2 General] DeathStolas:
That blows sir :( hopefully an engineering flash tool for our phone makes an appearance. Or I feel we are all screwed.
[ZenFone 2 General] :
[MENTION=6922370]ASUS_Khang[/MENTION], any hope for me now that I've really pooched this thing?
[ZenFone 2 General] creison:
Guelo, agree!

At this point i prefer to receive updates since we have not now neither one thing nor the other.

---------- Post added at 08:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------

Can you side load the droidboot.img ?
[ZenFone 2 General] :
I can't do anything. I'm reading the unbrick research thread right now and the "asus flash tool" recognizes my phone when it's doing it's little dead android thing, so here's hoping...
[ZenFone 2 General] DeathStolas:
That's interesting, let me know.
[ZenFone 2 General] ASUS_Khang:
Please all..I understand how frustrated you are. My phone is in the same situation. Don't attempt fixes unless you know what you're doing. Let's wait for HQ to find the solution. I'd hate for you to brick your devices.
[ZenFone 2 General] creison:
Have u try this ?

https://youtu.be/wuixmZ11Kyc
[ZenFone 2 General] DeathStolas:
Are they working on a fix, they said that they couldn't replicate, but you easily did. Leaves us all in a state of:

1. No OTA updates

2. Can't install custom anything

3. An unstable device

I'm definitely trying to be patient, but if it shows unlocked in server, they could just wash their hands of it, due to server status of device.
[ZenFone 2 General] :
I didn't attempt anything other than a single fastboot command (that failed) and wiping the cache.

Wiping the cache has put me in to a fully bricked state.

At this point I'm pulling the SIM out and putting it in my old Nexus 4 and then I can continue to tinker..Right now I'm reading the unbrick research thread here: http://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/general/unbricking-research-unbricking-method-t3162848

Hopefully something comes out of that.
