On which version of Android is based this ROM? Android 5.1 Lollipop?

It is stable or in beta version? Thanks!

Ok I have been with the forum for a while now and have tried many roms and always end up going back to the official WM5 rom from T-Mobile because I cannot find a WM6 rom that is clean and bug free.

I would like to know what is the most stable and bug/glitche free WM6 rom?

Please keep in mind I have to use shelltool due to CID locked G4 so OS roms only. Thanks.

I have already tried these roms

NBD 8.0-9.1 - bluetooth and wifi didn't work properly even when reset before touch customization

Black Diamond 2.0 Touch - GPRS settings were all screwed up and had to reinstall MMS and GPRS/EDGE

Please everyone post all opinions and suggestions.

Thanks.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mschmiedel:
Hi,

Yesterday I "blindly" installed the latest CM nightly without noticing that I was installing CM13... After the install, no Google App was working (as expected). When I noticed I had installed CM13, I tried downloading OpenGapps (all from nano to stock for ARM, -not ARM64-), and none of these can be installed, I always get an error (Status Code 1). After a lot of trying, I coundn't even make a wipe (I got an error while formatting data).

After flashing a stock ROM via Odin, the phone worked again, so I tried reinstalling. Now the issue I have is that I can't install any custom ROM to the phone, I have tried flashing CyanogenmodRecovery (for CM12 and CM13) and CWM 6.0.4.7, all of them let me install the latest CM12.2 nightly (26.12), but the phone always hangs on the Cyanogenmod Bootscreen. Wiping is not showing any errors anymore.

Any thoughts? Am I missing something? I am relatively new to the S4, and I got mine already with CM11 on it, and until yesterday I was always able to update without any issues... Am I missing some step?

Small update: I get some errors in the recovery logs: unable to mount /efs. I don't understand why I get this error when a OEM Kitkat works, but well, will keep trying, maybe I find a way to get it working...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
1. Use TWRP, CWM is outdated.

2. "Nightly" realeases are testing firmwares. CM13 for GT-i9505 is in early releases too. They have lot of bugs still.

3. - Download the latest stable CM firmware: HERE and copy it to your SDCARD external + Gapps (ARM+ android 5.1 + nano).

- Go to DOWNLOAD MODE and flash TWRP. Boot in TWRP - Select Wipe - Advanced Wipe and wipe all (less usb-otg and external memory).

- Flash CM12.1 firmware and GApps then. Reboot and enjoy.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Use TWRP. Google for s4 twrp. On that page you will also have various install instructions. Afterwards you can flash pretty much any custom rom.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mschmiedel:
Well, tried exactly these steps, I only skipped gapps for now. I installed following version: cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1JN-jfltexx. However the phone still hangs while booting... I will let it for a while and see if it boots, but I think it's still stuck... The stock Samsung Kitkat flashes properly from Odin and can be booted... Really strange. Is there anything I can do to see what's going on? I only get the Cyanogenmod Bootscreen, but no adb access...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mschmiedel:
Well, I am getting some errors: unable to mount /efs... This seems to be the problem, no idea why this is happening... I will keep looking around for a fix... I still don't quite understand why a stock KitKat works...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Try dowloading the rom from a thread here on the forum.

You didn't mention what phone model you got so I assume it is a GT-I9505. You can find the official thread in the I9505 original android development section. The maintainer is AntaresOne.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mschmiedel:
It is the GT-I9505, I now was able to install a stock Kitkat, and it now is allowing me to update via OTA, (first time I got a message that I had a "changed" phone and OTA was disabled). I will let it install this way and see what happens.

Last time I tried with TWRP I was getting the error "unable to mount /efs", but after flashing an ODIN ROM the phone works, I have LTE Data and can place and receive calls, IMEI is there, so I am now confused about what can be wrong.

When this OTA update works, I will try to reflash TWRP via Odin (and not mess around with heimdall anymore), and see if then I can install CM12...

I downloaded the version from the Cyanogenmod site, the latest stable CM12.1 release, so I guess it should be as good as downloading it from an xda thread... :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
I don't know. It's worth a try.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoshDaWhite:
If you get errors about efs,be careful.The EFS partition contains the most important stuff like your IMEI.There are some backup/restore tools of EFS, you should check them out.Wipe everything,flash cm,then restore EFS backup.

Hi everybody and thanks for all the tips regarding rooting our Zenfone GO .

I rooted my Zenfone GO Z00VD whitout unlocking the bootloader via cmd or installing TWRP recovery , just following this procedure :

- downgrade to fw36 ( from asus website ) flashing .zip via stock recovery

- disable the automatic system upgrade

- unlock oem from development options ( available on fw36 )

- root using an old kingroot version ( can't remember which one sorry -_-' )

- manually upgrade to last fw( 47? ) from asus website , flashing .zip via stock recovery

- check if root is available using root checker advance , if not use kingroot one more time

Then i installed link2sd and increased "internal memory" from sd ext partition , following the "know to all" procedure in mini partition tool .

THIS WORKED FOR ME , DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK - I'M NOT RESPONSABLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE

Unistall TWRP

Thanks for the tutorial. But how do I unistall TWRP?

I tried to unistall by recovering an recovery.img that I found on Web, using adb/recovery mode.

After that, It didn't work, now I can't acess TWRP or Turn on the android, it crashes.

Can someone help me? :'(
[Asus Zenfone Go Guides, News, & Discussion] Pascaleiro:
It worked! The phone was on boot loop, so I tried flashing recovery and boot, and the phone worked correctly, but still was unable to use "oem unlock". Then I tried flashing everything but it always got stuck at 12%, so I flashed everything except the system. oem unlock worked, so now I'll try the next steps

Thanks!

Update1: Installed SuperSU and latest OS, but it got stuck on boot. I tried again flashing everything, but this time I used the option "Format all + Download" on SP Tools and it worked this time

Update2: Here's how it worked for me, basically I had to boot the phone with almost every modification, otherwise it got stuck on boot:

- put SuperSU (from the first post's file) and the latest OS version on microSD card, put it on the phone

- use SP Flash Tools and flash every partition, with the "Format All + Download" option

- boot the phone, turn on "oem unlock" option

- reboot to fastboot, use "fastboot oem unlock", press Vol+ to agree

- boot the phone, turn on "oem unlock" option

- reboot to fastboot, use "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

- boot the phone, turn on "oem unlock" option

- reboot to recovery, install the latest OS, then SuperSU

- boot the phone

Unable to enter Recovery Mode/ Can't OEM Unlock (z00vd/ZC500TG)

Greetings everyone!

I have the Zenfone GO (z00vd/zc500tg), and after I try to remove TWRP I couldn't turn on the phone anymore.

I tried several tutorials, but none helped, something like the below:

-"try to recovery img via ADB" (but don't have permissions since I can't unlock OEM)

-"try to enter recovery mode with vol up + power" (but when I try this, the phone brick on ASUS logo)

So, I can only access FASTBOOT MODE (by vol up + power), but don't have permission to execute commands :( ... can someone give an light? Now I just want my phone come back to normal, even if I have to keep TWRP.

Dear zenfone (ZC500TG) owners.

I'm in gerat need for your help. I recently tried to unlock my device (to flash recovery, root etc.) I messed up with several methods and got corrupted NVRAM. I did successfully reflash the phone using flashtool, and managed to get my IMEI back with MauiMETA. But still I have problems with poor WiFi operation and malfunctioning GPS. I suppose I lost some hardware config data from NVRAM.

I ask you would you be so kind and make TWRP backup of your nvram partition, and share it with me somehow (it is only 5M in size), I suppose this is the only way to bring my device back to normal operation.

I highly appreciate your help and thank you in advance.

https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=698725&st=640#entry46964991

And yes, 4pda has also released Android 7.1.1 AOSP rom for zenfone go too. I used for approx 2 months. Only major bug that it had was front camera did not work (not a problem to me as I am not a selfie person!) . You can try the 7.1.1 too-

https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=798966&st=120#entry61171302

PS. AFTER FLASHING THE 7.1.1 ROM TWRP WILL ASK YOU ROOT THE ROM. DO NOT DO IT. INSTEAD JUST REBOOT IT. IF YOU ROOT IT RIGHT AFTER FLASHING THE ROM, IT WILL GO IN BOOTLOOP.

Asus z00vd Android 5.1.1

Hi,

The instructions at the beginning of the thread does not work for me.

Here's what was done:

Turned on developer mode.

Turned on USB debugging.

There is no option for "OEM unlock" in developer options. Probably Android Lollipop update on version 5.1.1?

Installed USB drivers as per post at top of thread.

Connected phone to PC.

Opened command prompt and entered the following below:

adb devices

Device was listed.

Disconnected phone and powered it off.

Pressed volume up and power button together.

Entered boot menu. Chose "Fastboot"

Entered

fastboot devices

Phone found listed and have "fastboot" indication.

Entered

fastboot oem unlock

error "unknown command".

Looked up Google and entered

fastboot flashing unlock

I get the same error message "unknown command."

Question: After I have done the steps above and was not successful, is there another way to unlock boot loader? The main purpose is to root the phone and remove bloatware and perhaps install a custom ROM later on.
