[ZenFone 2 General] Elkbot:
I just bought the ASUS Zenfone 2E 5 days ago. Got it unlocked by AT&T thru their unlock service.

But wanted to see it with a stock ASUS rom (especially so I could used tethering with my own MVNO).

Problem is, after following OP's instructions I'm always getting this error (on my phone) after multiple attempts:

"This package is not for ATT (WW)"

"Error in /sideload/package.zip"

"Status 7"

This happens at 47% of the process every time.

Anyone know what I am doing wrong? -Thx

[MENTION=7427953]Elkbot[/MENTION] are you sure you're using tethered recovery and flashing the firmware. Is it the correct firmware
[ZenFone 2 General] Elkbot:
Y'know, sometimes it's the little things. I wasn't using tethered recovery. Don't ask. When I figured that out, bam, all is golden. Like the snappiness on ASUS stock rom compared to AT&T's crapware. Thanks!
[ZenFone 2 General] James101:
As you've been told, you need to dirty flash. Use "CWM_Zenfone_2_Intel"
[ZenFone 2 General] AlexBodewig:
did you do a dirty flash or did you factory reset before hand? Sometimes the settings from the old ROM stick around if you don't reset the device. You may also need to set up you APN in the cellular settings(Settings>More...>Cellular Networks>Access Point Names). Just Google your carrier's APN info and fill out a new APN on your device.
[ZenFone 2 General] robot_head:
If I'm not mistaken, stock asus shows 4g instead of lte
[ZenFone 2 General] James101:
I wiped data and cache before flashing. And entered the apn. I get 3g, but no LTE, not even with an active att sim chip.
[ZenFone 2 General] cidlover:
Yes, better to swap CWM for TWRP, because Tethered CWM can only see the internal storage where TWRP can see both internal and external storage. And I'm a TWRP fan myself.

Have you tried reflashing, making sure to use tethered TWRP? Also have you set your preferred network types?
[ZenFone 2 General] trentbg:
Has anyone tried to sim unlock the phone after flashing the stock Asus rom, I waited for the unlock code from ATT but it took them 3 days so in a meantime I flashed the Asus rom and when I put any other sim than the one from ATT, there is no pop up saying enter a valid code? Thank you.

P.S. Never mind, the sim was a little bit crooked and it was not making a good contact, my apologies.
[ZenFone 2 General] FlipPhonePreferred:
Thanks

Shawnchalfant, Thank! It works like a charm.

A question to anyone using the stock ATT firmware on the Zenfone 2e:

Of the 8gb storage, how many gb is reserve? I should have noted it before I start, but I didn't.

A question to anyone who has converted to CE500CL firmware:

I ran into space issue during the last few of the auto update. I cleared cache and complete.

Checking the rom allocation, I see that 4.77gb out of the 8gb is reserved leaving 3.23gb free. I did not take note on what it was before I converted it to ZE500CL firmware:

UL-ASUS_Z00D-WW-12.16.5.118-user.zip

Is 4.77gb reserved what you are seeing as well? That is huge and I didn't expect that. (I should have noted what it was before.)

BTW: for other who just started: info to avoid anxious moments

1. I was a bit confused first/second failed try. I copied the firmware using Asus' FileManager. to internal SD ROOT. The CWM Recovery on the phone couldn't find my file in ROOT, but an update.zip was found in \o\. I was not sure it was another update.zip or mine. So I reboot normal and renamed my update.zip to ce500cl.zip. Seeing that is under \o, I know it was mine. I selected it and it loaded.

2. The loading process took a while and during loading, the green andriod has no indication anything is going on. I was a bit anxious for a while. Hung in there and eventually it got done. I didn't timed it but it was at least a couple of minutes. So, when you see that frozen andriod, those few minutes were very anxious moment. Be patient... that frozen screen may not indicate death of a zenfone...

how much free space for apps is left there after restoring to stock?

can anybody check if Teamviewer Host is working and accepting connections?
[ZenFone 2 General] FlipPhonePreferred:
Leon_id:

re: "how much free space for apps is left there after restoring to stock?

can anybody check if Teamviewer Host is working and accepting connections?"

Immediately after refresh to ZE500CL firmware, I have 3.23gb ROM left. That would have been good if it really stay as "for the user to use."

The latest ZE500CL firmware is dated December 2015, so it is a few months old. Once automatic "Google Play Updates" kicks in, everything practically got reloaded - from the ASUS Browser to ASUS Themes to Google Maps... By the time that is done, you are left with just under 1gb worth of user storage.

Once can of course wait till all the updates are done then go in and uninstall. As I am still experimenting, I am resetting it often. I work out a way. I factory-reset it and don't setup a network until I do the clean up. I deleted/disable stuff like Amazon Kindle, TripAdvisor, so on - the stuff I am not interested. Only after all the deletion do I than add the Google account to the ZE500CL.

I do selective update one at a time. Those I choose not to update, I made sure I went in to Google Play to disable the auto-update for that application.

When I am selective as described, I manage to have around 1.5gb to 2gb free. I can disable/skip more to get more. Most of the December 2015 version of apps run just fine.

By the way, if you have the Zenfone 2e at hand, can you confirm what user space is pre or post change? I believe the refresh to stock should not have changed it, but I could have swore it was in the 5gb range before I mod, but like I said, I didn't take notes on that.

I liked it a as WiFi quick browser. I saw it on sale and I brought another one for my wife (if she wants it).

So, now I can answering my own question about user storage change after modification to stock firmware (and for those interested):

Native ATT Build number ATT_12.16.10.70

- Before anything was done to it, the reserve was 4.67 gb leaving 3.33gb user storage

After changing it to stock ASUS ZE500CL firmware WW_12_16.5.118

- Reserve now is 4.77 leaving 3.23gb user storage

Not exactly 5.xx gb that I incorrectly recalled, but I did recalled right that it was not 3.23gb user storage before firmware changed. 100mb less user storage doesn't really make a substantive difference. The better stock firmware more than made up for it.

Does anyone have the ATT_12.16.10.76 Stock Rom Anyone ??? I tried the other one WW_12.16.5.118 It helps with tethering and all but its not fast enough as the AT&T rom :( :( now I can't find the AT&T zenfone 2e firmware.

BUMP

How in the hell were you able to get any of that WW firmware on the device? I had like zero space left after a factory reset and couldnt place it on the device. Sucks the tethered CWM didnt support microSD as if it did then it would have made things much easier. I ended up unlocking bootloader using non asus bootloader unlocker, flashing TWRP and then custom rom. Phone is unbricked now and running great!

I would still love to find the ATT firmware somewhere though so I can add it to my project files incase i have to work on another one of these devices.

I have pretty much everything needed for this phone for anyone wanting to unbrick, change recovery, custom rom etc... anything. Did all the research and compiled what i found on XDA here and GSM Forum into a project file. If anyone comes across this and needs help ill give you what I have and can lend a bit of a hand if needed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wittier:
I've Unlocked, and Rooted my EVO 4G LTE.

It has TWRP Recovery and installed SuperSU.

Now I need to find the right, stable, smooth, ROM to flash. I would be happy with basic Android. I don't understand what features I'd want from a custom ROM.

I'm planning to use this as a wifi Internet, email, camera device without cellular service.

I assume that by getting rid of HTC Sense and all the extra bloat apps that Sprint and HTC had on there that I can keep this device running as a smooth Android tool.

I'd be happy with the latest Android version that will run well on it. (I've had the experience of Lollipop on an old Nexus 7 2012 WiFi and it doesn't work well. Very lagggy. So I flashed that one all the way back to JellyBean to get it run smoothly.) So for this EVO 4G LTE, I don't know if it will handle a more recent Android or not. I'm willing to try custom ROMs if they are stable and complete (the main features work well, etc.)

I am inexperienced in rooting / flashing. I used the Universal Toolkit after unlocking to flash TWRP and root with SuperSU. That worked.

So I need help in finding the right ROM and the how-to of installing it. Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
If you already have TWRP, the easiest way is to hook up fastboot capabilities to your phone. That way you can erase your data that's on the phone, then flash the new ROM. At this point, you'll need to pull the boot.img out of a downloaded ROM and insert it manually onto your phone. You do this by "fastboot flash boot boot.img" to flash the boot image on your phone. Then a new ROM will work.

You can also see this guide.

Another way to do it is to get S-OFF capabilities so that all you have to do is flash the ROM from within TWRP, and it will work without the fastboot process.

And if you're looking for a ROM, I suggest checking my signature. At the moment, I'd recommend Pac-Rom above the rest. Though, I hear CM is working. The others I have posted are working, but they're a little older.

I've always used iwconfig to configure my wlan0 interface on Android phones. But, even after managing to find a Lollipop working iwconfig, I was unable fo set wlan0 txpower with it.

Then, after browsing around a bit and learning of a file that resides in /data/misc/wifi, called "WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini", it seems it's possible to tweak a lot of wifi parameters.

If you want your wifi to blast on highest, just uncomment the line:

# gTxPowerCap=30

... and there you have it. Otherwise, lower to 4 or 10.

So, we have # gTxPowerCap=30 change to # gTxPowerCap=4 or # gTxPowerCap=10, yes?

Uncommenting means to remove the hash before the command. Like this:

# gTxPowerCap=30

to this...

gTxPowerCap=10

Does this increase battery drain on wifi, since I am putting more energy to the transmitter?
[LG Spirit Questions & Answers] Tomo123:
Of course.

If you have a good WIFI connection at home, you could set it to 10, since that's the lowest it'll go. Should save battery.

Although, the default drivers are quite good at limiting power automatically.

Afternoon all.

Perhaps someone here may be able to point me in the right direction.

I am looking at setting up a location based system for an voluntary ambulance service.

I recently tested 5 XDA orbits using TomTom's 'buddy' system. System worked well except for two items.

1. everyone had to have tomtom running for it to work

2. it was not dynamic, you had to update each time you wanted to find out where someone was

3. there was no web interface access to the system

wondering if there is a way of keeping tomtom running in the background and to automatically update all of the 'buddies' at a set interval. If there are any suggestions of alternative software would be interested in finding out about that. All i actually need is a basic system which shows where all the other phones are on a map

Thanks
[General Topics] lmjabreu:
Maybe Vito FindMe?
[General Topics] efitzgerald:
yes something like that.

the idea i have in my head is that there will be a map showing all the other devices, and showing them moving around updating automatically plus a web based version used by control that can see all the devices and their current location.

Is there a propritery solution where you would get the software for the phone and the back end server also?

Hey,

I flashed the CM 11 Release 17 on my I9001.

Everything is fine besides an audio problem which occurs when using audio files with any alarm clock app.

Neither mp3, nor wma, nor wav files will be played and I get an "mp3-audio error" message or any file type corresponding error message.

In case I select one of these files from Apollo app, sometimes the file is played, sometimes it is not played.

Any Idea what is causing this problem or does anyone else have the same problem or knows how to fix this?

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creebefu:
I've just switched to the Z5C from Moto X 2013 and I'm still experiencing high cell standby battery usage. I had the same problem on my Moto X after upgrading to 5.1.1.

Interestingly, though, last month I went to Japan (with my Moto X) and cell standby didn't appear in battery usage at all while I was there, and made a huge difference to battery life.

So I'm wondering if it's somewhat dependent on your carrier. I'm with 3 in the UK.

Yes, I'm on T-Mobile in the USA, and my cell radio eats tons of my battery. I came from a Galaxy S4 and Droid Razr HD expecting better battery life, and the Z5C is one of the worst devices I've owned in terms of battery life. Used 2% in literally a minute earlier today with screen @ 10%, Wifi/Location/Bluetooth off and running like one app (Instagram). I typically burn through 40-50% of my battery with one hour of screen on time per day. There was one day when it had great battery life, but that's it. Hoping the new firmware fixes it.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesebastian:
I'm having low LTE signal with the Z5 Compact, but surprisingly the battery life (and internet quality) seems to be not affected by this.

I think I had a little more signal strength with my old Nexus 5, but that phone used to spend much more battery at low signal.

I still need to test this with HSDPA signal. But at least with LTE I don't have battery drains. (I mean my battery stats are "red/orange" because of the bad signal, but still have excellent battery life).

Now If I enter to a bar or a place with 0% signal, the battery drains pretty fast, but that is normal in all cellphones.

[Teclast X98 Air 3G] 25gee:
The touchscreen is split down the middle and mirrored sometimes until the config file is put into system32/inf and the driver installed, if you try to calibrate the touchscreen at all before this is set, I found that it caused it to jump randomly to a corner of the screen and spam open programs.

The solution for me was to plug in a mouse and reset/remove all calibrations and install the driver again from the drivers pack (can't find the thread right this second as I'm at work) along with the touchsetting.cfg, I never had to calibrate the screen as it just worked and is perfectly calibrated automatically?

So Doze is supposed to minimize battery drain to almost nothing overnight or when the phone is not in use for a long time. How many people have actually experienced that? I'm not sure what to think, I lose about 1% per hour consistently overnight. That's without greenify or other battery saver methods. But it still seems excessive to me for such a hyped feature. I wonder if future hacks will be able to turn doze on in 1/2 hour instead of 1 hour. What have your experiences been?
[Nexus 5X General] Soundfreak82:
1% per hour is pretty good. That means your phone would stay on for up to 100hrs which is more than 5 days. Are you complaining about that?

That is pretty bad if Doze is on given that 1%/hr is a widely accepted standard pre-marshmallow
