Go back to complete Stock Rom B112,flash Boot,Cust,Cache,System and Recovery.img.After make a Factory Reset

---------- Post added at 05:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 AM ----------

Make the update B205 and install Google Apps via Eric Gapps installer
[Huawei MediaPad X2] cvncbn:
i can not adb fastboot system.img.error : can't load system.img
[Huawei MediaPad X2] cvncbn:
I must come back B205.

Here is my solution :

- I flash B122 stock with Gapps via TWRP ( I removed Super forder )

- reboot bootloader - > flash Huawei recovery -> reboot

- I have about 2 mintute to use the phone till it reboots automatic. I updated B205 via Updater app. The phone updated, have error messaging.But when the phone rebooted, It is on B205 and has google play ( is system application )

Now my phone is working well with B205
[Huawei MediaPad X2] letschky:
Ok,have fun with B205
[Huawei MediaPad X2] empurpledbrown:
T.T i think that we are in the same boat...

i have installed B205 and downgraded for a few hour, my X2 has rebooted after boot, lock-screen in B112...

i tried commands in fastboot flash, rom flashing using twrp recovery. but all the things didn't work on X2...

but in my case, X2 always rebooted when i visit a setting menu in android to upgrade B205...

what should i do? i cannot do anything on this situation.

the things working correctly are twrp recovery and fastboot.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] cvncbn:
my solution at #6
[Huawei MediaPad X2] cvncbn:
When factory reset, we have more times to use the phone.So we have enough time to update B205 via updater app.Here is my solution :

- Download B112 zip rom at http://xdaforums.com/mediapad-x2/development/rom-stock-b106-gapps-t3230585

then delete "Supersu" folder ==> we have Stock rom B122 without root.

- Download B205

- Flash TWRP.

Copy B112 zip to Internal storage ( anywhere )

Copy B205 ( update.zip ) to /dload

- Wipe system, data, cache, davikcache. Then flash B112.zip

- Don't reboot system. Reboot to bootloader -> flash Huawei recovery.

- Now reboot system.At the first boot, we have enough time to update B205 via updater app.

In my case, while update B205 have the messaging update fail.But when the phone boot, it's on B205 and everything working well.

Sorry for my poor english.Hope you can understand ! :)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] empurpledbrown:
thanks for your quote. i just have solved all the things by installing B205.

my X2 didn't show any splash screen like huawei logo. it only showed just a white screen. i was shocked about it.....

i was thinking that now it was turned to a brick firmly ....

a moment while it turned on nomarlly, i did all sequences in order to upgrade from B112 to B205 ....

it just rebooted if i did slowly, then i could do all procedures what you said...

well... now i am using my X2 normally on marshmellow... i have to be used it.

thanks cvncbn.

I'm looking forward to adoptable storage and encryption of microSD cards
[ZenFone 2 General] azthemansays:
The biggest thing it'll do is fix the memory leak that plagues 5.0 and has never been fixed.
[ZenFone 2 General] kanagawaben:
If CM13 is anything to go by, I don't recommend using adoptable storage - it sucks hard. Says my class 10 sandisk card is same slow speed as my unbranded class 4 SD, forces downloaded apps to the SD card where they are slow or unresponsive, and by design is inconvenient. Not sure if Asus are including the feature anyway - Samsung and LG haven't on their new phones.
[ZenFone 2 General] mibses:
I agree it's not ideal, but it's the only way I know to encrypt a microSD card under Android. I can only speak for myself, but I'm willing to take a performance hit in exchange for additional security.

An ideal situation would be for Google to stop treating microSD slots as afterthoughts, and put some effort into fixing the whole miserable removable-storage situation. But I don't hold much hope for that, given that no Nexus device has ever had a microSD slot.
[ZenFone 2 General] krasCGQ:
Been using ZE551ML (2.3GHz/4GB/32GB) since 2nd August 2015 and working flawlessly without any major performance issues. Great performance, smooth experience, and big memory packed on a IDR 3.825M (price at that time I bought this phone; approx. US$ 289) phone. This is probably the best cheap phone with great quality.

As for software, unless you're using Nexus or Android One phones, OS updates from OEM are coming slower. I'm sure that one time we'll get 6.0 update.

I'm mostly using CM-based ROM, as we've great groups of development with great developers. Better and better than stock for this moment.

Android 6 does not come??

Gesendet von meinem ASUS_Z00A mit Tapatalk
[ZenFone 2 General] pharatlil:
android 6 never come.. it will come only to zenfone 2 laser. there is no zenfone 2 beta firmware....

im repenting selecting a asus device... also it video recording experience likes taking pic via refrigerator.
[ZenFone 2 General] ShadyGame:
Is that for real? I think you're wrong.

http://www.androidauthority.com/asus-android-6-0-marshmallow-update-655961/

but its taking too long.
[ZenFone 2 General] GroveStreetHomie:
I'm sure that Asus will eventually release the official Marshmallow firmware for the ZenFone 2 because it's their FLAGSHIP device.

Asus promised us that MM will come out sometime in the 2nd quarter, so they still have until June 30th of 2016.

Now about the beta testers, its either Asus decided to not release the MM beta because the release date is near, or they think they can release a stable OS update without the help of its community.
[ZenFone 2 General] gontie:
Now that I know Intel decided to leave the smartphone Market, I really doubt Intel will provide the needed drivers for Marshmallow...
[ZenFone 2 General] pharatlil:
asus promised 5.1.1 too.. but they didnt release..

they focused zenfone 3 and its specs worser than zf2

so im not waiting for MM for zf2 now. they r thinking about only money..

now; samsung and asus in my blacklist.. i never love money loving companies.
[ZenFone 2 General] Karazo:
No beta for ze551ml cuz its already finish. They only polish it haha
[ZenFone 2 General] flash-:
in all stories or articles or info from intel there was no info about the asus zenfone 2 intel chip line aka (Moorefield) the Z35XX series ...and it said it will continue to support some of the chips (Our product roadmap reflects that. We will continue to support our tablet customers with Sofia 3G/3GR, Bay Trail and Cherry Trail now, and later with Apollo Lake and some SKUs from our Core processor family) but nothing about phones or asus ....hope that doesn't impact or even ends new version updates of android for the zenfone 2

and that could the reason why the asus snapdragon phones got the beta testing program for MM(6.0) but we didn't :(

further info on the story when info comes up ..... :)
[ZenFone 2 General] VastoBrian:
Could you please share any of those aritcles, all the articles i have looked at from anandtech, android authority, android police and android central have not given any official announcement from intel concerning the future of existing devices running their socs.

i read alot but in my recent history i got those :

[ZenFone 2 General] kischde:
Well, you've got a bunch of other companies to go for then. Like ... Er... Yepp.
[ZenFone 2 General] dakunclear:
Ya I still like Asus the one that surprised is LG with their updates this time
[ZenFone 2 General] flash-:
6.0 on M8 and htc m9 has been delayed + all asus phones even the new ones are still on 5.0 and the company is NOT that really stupid to keep all of it's phones on that system and keep patching it up ...lot of phones with 500-700$ unlocked didn't get the 6.0 yet or had it like the z3 and z2 couple of days ago .....so i think asus is working on it ...yes it's lot of delay but for that price against other phones u can't say alot ...and no

i'm not defending the asus company

....but everyone should think this reasonably ;)

just saying ... :p
[ZenFone 2 General] pharatlil:
i think there is no person recording video with zenfone 2... Anybody complaining about it???

yes zf2 very smooth yes but camera features very very very bad. especially video recording and slow mo.

zf2 4G RAM, geezes, been waiting first for 5.1 then now for 6, it's ages and I can't stand the battery drain,

every time I launch something and close it, the battery drains like crazy, and I'm not even on f.... network (wifi or cellular data)

Every time, I have to reboot the phone, and as long as I'm not doing anything with the phone battery drain is OK.

I've tried to look on the battery drain graph, but it just shows android system as main battery consumer.

I don't think I'm getting asus ever again.
[ZenFone 2 General] kischde:
Not sure what's the matter in your case as we can't know what ROM you're running, which apps are installed, rooted or not, xposed or not, debloated or not.

I'm running Prism barebone with .178 update, kicked off anything I don't need/use and can't complain. I use it all the day when having breaks, playing some games, surfing www, listening to music and at the end of a usual day I have about 5-20 percent battery. With 5.5 inch screen and that much SOT I'm quite satisfied. G2, G3 and all my Samsung devices (S2, S3, S4) weren't better, nor was my Sony or (forgive me, Satan) the iPhone 4.

Of course everything can be better and I'm awaiting 6.0, too.. But I can use sphere and all the camera settings and over all the ZF2's performance doesn't disappoint me.
[ZenFone 2 General] Delgadovsky:
How much SOT do you achieve? I normally get 4h/4.30h. I think is not bad

About 6.0, one month already pass and we didnt see even a leak video or picture of our zenfone 2 551 running 6.0... :/ Think 6.0 is still far far away
[ZenFone 2 General] sentimex:
Running stock, not-rooted, and locked loader, I don't wanna loose warranty. Is it possible get to the battery drain report down to individual processes?
[ZenFone 2 General] dakunclear:
I'm going to repeat what others of said and Asus stated that it be in quarter 2 which is still has till the end of June to finish
[ZenFone 2 General] Delgadovsky:
Sure... Nothing new. The thing is normally some leaks appear way before dead line and, if there is no delay, is only two months to the end. Maybe in 30 June we have some news ? leaks from zenfone laser already came out
[ZenFone 2 General] kenbo111:
God! Some of you are impatient and whiny! Think about how much you paid for this phone. You expect the same service that a $700 phone gets for $200? And 3/4 of those expensive phones haven't gotten M either. Don't like it? Stop whining and go buy a more expensive phone.
[ZenFone 2 General] micuzzo77:
sorry, but I don't agree with you. the price you pay is not related to upgrade. if for the phone is planned a 2 year upgrade, the company has to do that indipendently if the phone is sold for 1000 or 100 bucks
[ZenFone 2 General] VastoBrian:
Q2 isn't over yet if they fail to honor their pledge by the the end of it then people are right to complain. So the best thing to do is to wait it out or if one is impatient enough flash a custom mm rom. In my case i flashed cm13 as soon as the delivery guy left my door after delivering the phone and i have no issues and no complaints.
[ZenFone 2 General] kenbo111:
And the upgrade isn't due yet. But people are complaining like crazy anyway. We have been getting regular fixes and security updates this entire time, but people are complaining anyway. They never said we would get 5.1,but people are complaining anyway. Get the idea?
[ZenFone 2 General] mc2mc2:
I can only say that in the future I will not consider Asus mobile phones an option due to slow software updates.
[ZenFone 2 General] quicksilver53:
I've had mine since June last year, and I'm still very happy with the performance of my Z2. Doesn't matter to me if it isn't running the most current software version. It still performs as well as most devices costing twice as much in my opinion.
[ZenFone 2 General] kenbo111:
Well good luck finding a phone that has faster updates. It's been my experience that almost all phones have the same problem.
[ZenFone 2 General] GroveStreetHomie:
Except Nexus phones.
[ZenFone 2 General] buge boyo:
Nexus phones are the best, I dumped my zenfone and bought a brand new Nexus 6 which is cheaper than the zenfone 2 by the way.
[ZenFone 2 General] Rodepo:
Asus is releasing monthly updates for ZF2, so they stick to their promise of a 2 year maintenance program. They are not obliged to release Android M, although it would be nice if they do so. And if they cannot make it within Q2, so be it. If there are complications, there will be a delay. That's how it works in this business. Better a late release than a buggy release.
[ZenFone 2 General] pecholino:
If there was no way to see the "android version number" in settings, I bet most of you whiners, wouldn't even know, you are using 5.0.
[ZenFone 2 General] mc2mc2:
doze, permission system for sure...

probably memory management, responsiveness, battery life...

and other things easily noticeable...
[ZenFone 2 General] pecholino:
Sure.. for 6.0. What about if ut was 5.1.1 (that so many of you complain about)?

Battery life and responsiveness are already top notch considering the screen size and the chipset (double the TDP than SD80x) we have.
[ZenFone 2 General] pharatlil:
what about lg???m they supports and give marshmallow their devices??? or sony or htc.

asus cant handle it.. i will never buy asus device anymore..
[ZenFone 2 General] TheSSJ:
Back in my days I bought a phone because it looked good and the specs / price relation worked for me. If you expect the newest Android version one day after Google releases it, then you should just buy a Nexus phone. This complaining is just not helping at all.

Next time it would be better to do some research what you expect from a new phone before buying any model (just a good piece of advice). I am still running my phone with stock ROM and my modified kernel, and I am very satisfied with performance and battery life.

Folks, it's perfectly fine you to disagree about a topic, but it isn't fine for you to start calling each other names and posting disrespectfully. This is a forum, not a schoolyard. If you don't like people complaining about the lack of updates then unsubscribe from this thread, or just ignore those posts. Everyone here has a right to express their opinion whether you agree with it or not. The nonsense stops now, act like adults. If you can't post respectfully then don't post at all.

[ZenFone 2 General] ChiDi9901:
I clicked the thanks button. I am somehow annoyed but not surprised that there are always people that can't behave normal in forums and threads. But of course that's the internet and anybody thinks that opening the mouth as big as possible makes them more right. It's sad that, although you mention that everyone should behave like adults, that it will be very unlikely the case since I believe there are also non-adult users here. One biggest problem is that these people don't like accepting critics or personal opinions and likely behave fanboy-/girl-ish and trying to be protective. But then, bias is always here and there a bit. Same thing the other way round, constant repetitive complaints is not comfortable to read either.

Both these issues combined result in spam all over the place (and worst case, insults to each other). Mods do great job, we are lucky to have them.

[ZenFone 2 General] bitfed:
I've been an ASUS customer for over a decade, and can attest to having a poor experience as an end user with updates. Yes, we are very "lucky" ASUS now rolls out only their functioning releases and doesn't brick our devices.

We're lucky that the documentation is released in English. We're lucky they've committed to not abandoning their device for a whole 2 years.

And low low standards like this make a great ASUS customer. I don't know that other companies have had to promise not to immediately abandon their devices. In the past, pretty consistent within my experience, you were lucky if your ASUS device had bug fixes, ever.

I've bought ASUS devices that still have horrible security bugs years after their release.

As to why I'm still buying from this company, they have low price points. In the past that's because they cut corners.

I really feel the development road map for this device involved poorly patching 5, relying on 6 to leave the device stable. Meanwhile 6 is delayed longer than what the road map considered an acceptable time frame to stay on a minimally patched 5.

My two cents as someone who has been an ASUS customer way too long.

[ZenFone 2 General] krasCGQ:
That's true. I compare it a little to Samsung.

From what I see from Indonesian Galaxy J2 users in a Facebook group (even I don't have the device, I'm a member of that group), Indonesian J200GDDU1AOK1 has a strange network bug where the signal reception is randomly interrupted and never go back until a manual reboot triggered. There is no update released in Indonesia to fix this issue. Results: Downgrade to J200GDDU1AOJ4 or upgrade to Indian J200GDDU1APD5 to enjoy S Bike Mode that introduced on this update.

Since the release of Galaxy S4's first 5.0.1 update UNTIL the latest update, ColorFade Memory Leak doesn't even get fixed. If you find that it was fixed, probably the developer fixed it manually.

We're lucky because Asus is really only release a stable, no issues, and perfect update. If there is any issue, Asus will fix and push an update ASAP.

And I could easily compare it to Samsung, they support their flagship devices up to 1.5 years after being released. But, update rolls up every few months at least on every region on different time, so from one country to another have an exact different version with different security patch updates.

This post doesn't mean anything bad, but to show that Asus is caring their customers.
[ZenFone 2 General] pharatlil:
AHAHA you r comparing with samsung. Everybody know samsung is very bad about fw upgrades.

OK what about LG, HTC or Sony???? why dont u write something about other brands?

Why there is no 5.1.1 fw on asus zenfone 2??? think a little.. Why lg gave 5.1.1 and now 6.0 to g3 but we are waiting for asus.. think this.

Now in my country G4 and ZF2 prices very similar(g4 1200 try and zf2 1100 try) so i can complain about ASUS.
[ZenFone 2 General] VastoBrian:
Does anyone here work for asus?? If the answer is no then what's the point of arguing here? It's not like asus officials are reading this thread. I'm tired of getting updates from this thread about complaints about asus and their past products, i believe the thread was started to talk about mm coming and since we are still in Q2 we are still waiting for it. Why not complain afterwards or flash a custom mm rom till then. The main reason i stick to this thread is to know whether mm has been released and fortunately some people have shared beta releases for some of the snapdragon variants of the zenfone 2 which is actually related to the title.
[ZenFone 2 General] pharatlil:
we write compliants about asus because we dont want another person makes same mistake( buying asus device) . Asus is very slow. this is not about technical issues. this is about money. and i dont love money loving companies. my older phone was samsung. i quit samsung because of this and i choose ASUS but same thing here. ASUS likes samsung.. they r keep waiting us because of zenfone 3 launching(which is worser than zf2). then they will give us very very standart fw. there will be no camera fixes, or video function fixes. we will upgrade to 6.0 and we wont see ant differences. i know this because i m watching asus now. and now; asus doing nothing.

yes im complaining because i paid for it.
[ZenFone 2 General] aexcorp:
I don't get all the complaining about Asus re:Zenfone 2 updates.

Yes, they skipped 5.1.1, but that didn't really matter much. Yes, Marshmallow is taking longer than hoped for to arrive, and that's a bit annoying. But at the same time, Asus has been good about monthly security patches, and promptly fixed high-risk security problems like Stagefright. So it seems our devices are doing OK on the security front, and we're just lagging on the features front. And if that's such a big problem, there's CM13, which apparently runs quite well and nearly bug-free on the ZF2 (though I haven't yet checked it out).

For the price we paid and the hardware we got, it's hard to really frown too much.
[ZenFone 2 General] NicestRudeGuy:
brace ur self guyz i just mailed asus they will clear ,when we will receive 6.0 !

I've had my Z2 since June last year. And I am more than satisfied with it. I don't care if it is not running the latest upgrade. It is still a superb product for the money.
