I can't actually do an unlock even after latest firmware..

Hi all, ive been following a guide at http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2016/01/twrp-recovery-for-asus-zenfone-selfie.html

A guide on how to flash TWRP in my ZD551KL. So far I am able to flash it using: fastboot flash recovery recoveryZD551KL.img

It says write was successful.

But whenever I enter the last part fastboot oem reboot -recovery

Seems like the command is not recognized, it says FAILED (remote: unknown command) what should I do?

Cant we flash over TWRP to our default recovery? Or do we just have to boot twrp via fastboot on PC
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] NiloGlock:
Hi, finally I've solved. Try and retry, sooner or later it will work. This application is very bad...
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] souravipc53:
Use the TWRP 3.0.0-0 and flash it. Then reboot into recovery by holding the power and volume down button.

About the unlocker app. After trying for hours [16 hrs] It finally worked.

Hi, I'm on 1.17.40 build version & unable to unlock bootloader of my device ZE550KL. Tried above ZE600KL unlock utility, but the device is still locked checked it with command: fastboot oem device-info. Please help on this! Thanks!!

any ideas? tnx
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] menonmanjesh:
Have you unlocked the bootloader using that official unlocking application?
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] Salo-S:
Yes, im using the ZE600KL app. I have a ZE550KL

There is another way to unlock it?
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] @RaJeSh:
Can't unlock

Just reboots that's jt
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] wickedpygmy:
no other way to unlock it.

If it doesn't work, try downgrading to v1.16.40.763 and try again.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] Salo-S:
There is a tutorial to downgrade it? Tnx
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] wickedpygmy:
I don't think so. Using recovery:

Download firmware from asus website http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Ze...user.zip?_ga=1.91536282.1014483699.1448392461

put on sd card

Switch off mobile and press power and volume down at same time. It will go to recovery

choose update from SD card

If that doesn't work, use fastboot:

Switch off mobile and press power and volume up at same time. It will go to fastboot

Flash Rajiko's rooted v1.15.40.639 ROMs from here: http://xdaforums.com/zenfone-2-laser/general/root-ze550kl-t3236264

put 1.16.40.763 zip on sd card

boot up normally and phone will prompt to upgrade to stock 1.16.40.763
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] Salo-S:
I'll try it later and i keep this updated with results.. Tnx!

I am several days trying my dear friend :laugh::laugh: ,i already tried 3 different firmwares , the error persists
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] menonmanjesh:
That's odd. I successfully unlocked my phone's BL after several retries.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] Salo-S:
well, i already tried using some old firmware, newer firmware but whatever the app never work to me

the bootloader keeps locked
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] menonmanjesh:
I will explain what I did to get my phone's boot loader unlocked.

Installed the app and tried unlock procedure more than 10 times. Every time it failed and ended up with an "internet connection error".

After approx 7 hours(i didn't used that app in between), I opened the app and tried by pressing the BL unlock option. Boot loader unlocked with the very first try and the phone rebooted itself.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] Salo-S:
For me the app works fine, but if i try to check if bootloader is unlocked with "fastboot oem device-info" it says that my device is not unlocked.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] DrGreenLeaf:
I too had to run the unlock app several times before it actually worked. Am running latest update for ZE551KL. Was able to root and install working recovery twrp ver 2.8 and 3.0. Stick with it, check status from cmd prompt type fastboot oem device-info this will give you status of your bootloader
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] Salo-S:
you're talking about internet error? because i didnt have this error so much. for me, the app runs fine, but if i check if unlocked the answer is always false
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] DrGreenLeaf:
It seemed to run fine for me too, no internet errors but bootloader would stay locked. After several runs of the official unlock app, it seemed to take finally.

ZD551KL not unlock

What is this? How can I unlock bootloader?

I cannot post images, Unlocker is say "You have not entered the device PIN to verify you device. Do you still want to unlock you device?" after pressing ok, for sometimes says "Failed to unlock device, please try again latrer."
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] @RaJeSh:
I installed ze600kl unlock all and tried to unlock bootloader 6 time nothing happens my phone jst reboots and on 7th try it said my device is unlocked dose it mean my bootloader us unlocked
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] DrGreenLeaf:
Yes, check it thru cmd prompt window. With phone connected to PC. Start adb, and type these commands

adb reboot-bootloader

fastboot oem device-info

This will tell you the status of your bootloader. It should say phone is unlocked. Next type

fastboot reboot

That will reboot your phone. If the bootloader is in fact unlocked, you can progress from there. My ZE551KL took several tries, am now rooted, de-bloated, and custom recovery installed.

i don't have either, but it's sound like a bad idea, bootloader it's specific by SoC and Zenfone 2 Uses a Intel SoC and mine uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC.

[Zenfone 2 Laser General] wickedpygmy:
Nope no other way. That's it. If you can't get the unlock tool to work then you'll have to use the prerooted stock rom.

Hello guys! Please, who can, get an "unofficial" solution to unlock ZE550KL. I've tried to unlock by all methods already comentandos this post.

How is that possible when I've got the file.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] xyberz09:
where is your boot_200007.img file? It should be located in the same folder as the adb files, which in your case is %ProgramFiles%\Minimal ABD and Fastboot

I've somehow managed to root this phone with win droid. I skipped the unlock process

and ran the root image. It worked while I was in fastboot mode. I eventually noticed it had installed s.u. and I checked root status and it was rooted. I'm currently tweaking cyanogen on it lol
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] SkandaH:
Well, I got my hands on one ZE550KL running Z00L-WW-1.17.40.1531 firmware & noticed the following:

1. Comparing all the partitions before & after unlocking the bootloader, it can be seen that total 9 partitions are modified. They are: /ADF, /APD, /asdf, /asuskey, /dev-info, /factory, /modemst1, /modemst2 & /persist.

2. Strangely the /aboot partition remains unchanged which is highly uncommon.

3. The only partition that has a perfect toggling pattern is /devinfo - 00000010h is changed from '00' to '01'. In case of /asuskey, the first 10Ch bits are modified (00000000h-0000010Bh). For the rest, no specific pattern can be found by me in this short time.

4. gavrila@4pda.ru is managed to create a bootloader status toggling tool for ZE500KG/ZE500KL running Marshmallow. It looks like only 3 partitions are involved for these devices: /aboot, /asuskey3 & /asuskey4.

5. I'm not sure how things are going on with official Marshmallow build, because I had to return the device to its original owner.

6. I've uploaded the partitions dumps & if someone interested to work with them, please notify me. We need support from existing users having the device & willing to contribute so that the boot loader can be unlocked (& optionally relocked) without using Asus's complicated unlock tool. BTW, I had to try thrice to get it unlocked using the official tool.

[MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION], I'm tagging you here because initiating this discussion in the BootUnlocker thread doesn't make sense at this moment. Please contribute if you can.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] osm0sis:
Gavrila's tool is pretty interesting. It's very similar to what I recognize from the Nexus 7 (2013) which was of course also Asus: aboot modified, up in the 5240000 range, and an ANDROID-BOOT! magic string. The N7 '13 goes from 00 to 02 when unlocked though, so be aware that 01 may not necessarily always be what you're after.

The other things of interest with his zip are the tamper byte, unknown byte and the SSN rewriting. It's still only aboot that receives any changes though, since the SSN is only read from asuskey4 so that it can be written to aboot as part of the lock/unlock, and asuskey3 is only used to read the device model as part of the script's device check. The unknown byte is always set to 01 if it isn't already, and then there's another trailing byte it also always sets 00.

To summarize:

# Offset
oAndroid=5242368
oUnlock=5242384
oTamper=5242388
oSSN=5242408
oUnknown=5242496 # always set as 01

# Byte length
lAndroid=13
lSSN=12
lByte=1

# String
sAboot=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/aboot
sSSN=$(cat /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/asuskey4)
sVersion=$(cat /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/asuskey3)
sAndroid='ANDROID-BOOT!'

write_string $sAndroid $oAndroid $lAndroid #add/fix magic
write_hex 01 $oUnlock $lByte #unlock (00 locks)
write_hex 00 $oTamper $lByte #untamper
write_string $sSSN $oSSN $lSSN #add/fix serial number
write_hex 01 $oUnknown $lByte #add/fix unknown
write_hex 00 5242879 $lByte

The N7 '13 always had the ANDROID-BOOT! magic string as far as I know, but it appears these later/more closed devices need it added when they're unlocked. In the N7 (and others, from Gavrila's great work) the bootloader clearly used it to find the other offsets and as you can see they all occur shortly after it. Not sure what this means for the device you're currently trying to unlock, however, since you didn't see any of those changes.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] SkandaH:
[MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION]

Thanks for your participation. I've sent you an PM regarding the partition dumps.

Ya, I've found the similarities as well. On the other hand, the 'ANDROID-BOOT!' magic string plays a key role in case of OnePlus One, X & Zuk Z1 too.

Hi guys,

I'm having a lot of issues with my sensation xe and the battery life ... I tryied installing different roms like viper sc2 , insertcoin or cm11/cm12 but my battery can't last enough (i rarely can reach 2 hours of screen in viper sc2)... I've bought a brand new battery but the problem wasn't solved so I got another one free original battery from the online store but the problem is exactly the same :crying:.. I've autosync/gps off , minimum brightness, cpu/gpu at stock clocks and the official sebastianfm kernel... Can you please help me guys?Any advice?

thanks and sorry for my bad english coz i'm not english :P

The best roms for battery life are the original htc sense roms. Have you tried one of those? Also, have you tried cleaning the battery contacts?

[T-Mobile LG G4] TheChemist187:
Hello everybody! I have an AT&T LG G4 that I am using on T-Mobiles network and am having some problems. I can't access the internet at all and if I do it's very slow. I have an unlimited data plan on T-Mobile. When I run speed tests I hit an average of .02-2.0 mpbs. When I remove the sim and slap it in my older phone (AT&T LG G3) I get speeds of about 15-20mpbs. Both phones are AT&T branded so I don't know what could be wrong. This is how I have my APN set up verbatim;

Name: T-Mobile US LTE

APM: fast.t-mobile.com

MCC: 310

MNC: 260

APN Protocol: IPv4/IPv6

APN Roaming Protocol: IPv4

Everything else was left at "Not set"

I know I am not being throttled because I have their so called "truly" unlimited plan and have used 3.4GB so far.

I also think its weird because at work I also do speed tests and hit 50-60mpbs, the only think is at my house it sucks but then like I said I would remove the sim card and put it in another AT&T branded phone and get good speeds.

I really hope someone could help me out, thanks so much in advanced.

[HTC Typhoon] ransel:
Hi guys,

1. I see some WM6 ROMs for Typhoon/Amadeus/Feeler in this forum.

Which one that I have to choose?

2. Can that rom (WM6) works on HTC Amadeus? Amadeus has music keypad.

Sorry about my english...
[HTC Typhoon] karhoe:
It will work, just that the music keypad MIGHT not work , till we find the lnk files which my friend is working on
[HTC Typhoon] prasys:
Its pretty good. I have to say that I've flashed my Xphone IIm to WM6 and its par with the official rom. Its running smoothly and so far *knock on wood* there aren't any problems. Just keep in mind that you'll lose JAVA (Unless someone knows how to bring it back). Its far better then WM5. I suggest you to flash to WM5 , then start your upgrade from WM5. If you do that , its a safer route

This is my route for your information

WM2003SE --> WM5 ---> WM6

Just to be extra safe , do a hard reset (Just say Y to both of the questions during the bootup Clear <something something>. Then boot into boot loader and flash)

Thanks karhoe btw (Oh yeah , the music keys does not work..Its not a big issue at all)
[HTC Typhoon] karhoe:
Did you try pasting the lnk files? If it still doesnt work, probably we need to dig out the keyboard dll from WM2003
