[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harry_seaward:
I did a fresh install of 47A stock yesterday. I wiped everything, I wiped my entire internal storage and I deleted everything Android related from my 64GB MicroSD card. The only thing left on the card was a single folder for file storage, a TWRP backup, and a Titanium Backup folder.

Well, as soon as I booted into the ROM for the first time and started installing files, a folder called /Android/ immediately appeared on my 64GB card. It's got two folders /data/ and /media/ in it. Inside the /data/ folder are folders for almost every app I have installed since installing this ROM. Inside those folders are various other folders, depending on the app. Most of them are named 'files' or 'cache' or 'media' or generic stuff like that.

So does anyone know why this would happen and how I can prevent it? I didn't do anything to make this happen, this isn't something I set up. It just happens as soon as I install these apps, on a brand new clean install. (Worth mentioning, this clean install isn't the first time it's happened. This is just the first time I'm actually looking into it or trying to fix it.)

One of the strange things is, most of these folders don't have anything in them. Picking one at random,

/extSD/Android/data/au.com.shiftyjelly.pocketcasts/files

has nothing in it. I found one or two of these bottom level folders that have files in them.

/extSD/Android/data/.com.google.android.music/files

has a 36 byte file in it called "_playmusicid" for example. But the vast majority of the bottom level folders are just empty.

I've attached a screenshot showing what this /extSD/Android/data/ folder looks like. Seriously puzzled here.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harry_seaward:
Actually it seems like /.com.google.android.music/files/ might be the only file with any actual data in it...

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
I know there was an audio issue fixed in the recent ultimate Note 5 port and Moar 2.1b ROMs. If your audio returns to normal by lowering the volume one notch from max, that's your problem. If not, maybe you've flashed an audio mod of sorts?

Why aren't you running the updated ports by [MENTION=1503720]tx_dbs_tx[/MENTION]? Newer apps, fixes and kernels... Moar even has an aroma installer to customize your install with more choices and has more customization baked in.

How to unlock bootloader?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HampTheToker:
Use the boot loader unlock app found in the General subforum.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrv.patel:
I tried it just restarts and there is no white logo screen
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rizzed:
The white logo screen is only for the ZenFone 2 base models. For ZenFone 2 Laser variants, the logo screen will and should remain black. To verify whether your device hadha been truly unlocked, head over to fastboot mode on your device, and type the command: "fastboot oem device-info" (without the quotes) into the command prompt/terminal.

If it says device unlocked: true, that means your device had been successfully unlocked.

Another method is to try flashing TWRP onto your device, then attempting to boot into recovery. If it boot successfully, your device had been unlocked. If the ASUS logo just flashes and goes instantly, and then rebooting back to the system, it is still locked.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrv.patel:
Thanks Rizzed I'll check via fastboot
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rizzed:
Any results?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igorrafael:
Same device and same problem

I have tried with a few "different" unlock apps and still get the following result after running

fastboot oem device-info

...
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
(bootloader) Display panel:
OKAY [ 0.004s]
finished. total time: 0.004s

Also I noticed that Asus' support page from the country where the device was bought does not have "utilities" section where the unlock apk would be located. (can't post a direct link since I'm new here, so here's part of the link: asus.com/br/Phone/ZenFone-2-Laser-ZE550KL/HelpDesk_Download/)
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hemantjangid39:
for this version of firmware(WW_user_1.17.40.1234_20160304) it does not work.. I have tried many times ... I am downgrading to 1.16.... will check.. For 1.16, bootloader unlock works with the unlocker app for ze600kl
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rizzed:
Does it really work after downgrading? I'm currently sitting right here pulling my hair out over this. Would be great if it really works.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igorrafael:
Did you manage to downgrade?

I tried downgrading but failed with fota_return_code 409 ("can't install this package [date] over newer build [date]").
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rizzed:
Before attempting to downgrade, go to FASTBOOT mode, and type this commands (in order),

fastboot erase system

fastboot oem reboot-recovery

It should be able to flash successfully now.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igorrafael:
Thanks for the tip. Erasing system didn't work but your gave me the idea of changing the recovery partition. I managed to flash the stock version from this post. Only after the second line of the recovery screen showed "1.16" I managed to flash the file UL-Z00L-WW-1.16.40.763-user.zip

Unfortunately still didn't manage to unlock after a factory reset with the new firmware. Using unlock apk from this post:
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rizzed:
Really sorry about that..

I'm currently trying out all the other previous software, starting from the latest to the oldest. I will inform you immediately if it works out.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sziraqui:
I have been trying to unlock using the official unlock app since seven days. [MENTION=1932098]Rajko[/MENTION] said the app works sometimes. Also I have noticed that devices that were updated to 1.17 build are facing the same problem. Others who unlocked their device before the update were able to unlock BL. I even tried downgrading to 1.15 and 1.16 but no success till now. Maybe Asus has patched the bootloader with the 1.17 update and as you know bootloaders cannot be downgraded normally and can be fatal for any device. We may be able to unlock when Asus releases unlock app for Z00L.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rizzed:
Can confirm this. I downgraded to the oldest but to no avail.

Is there any way to downgrade the bootloader though? I really am thinking of selling this device for those high-end phones (Samsung S7/HTC 10) if there really is no solution.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igorrafael:
if we don't figure it out within a month I'll also look into a replacement. For now I'll try to live with the stock rom...

btw, any reason you'd go for Samsung/HTC instead of Motorola/OnePlus?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HampTheToker:
The HTC looks to be an excellent choice. Their last few devices weren't up to par, and it's cost them dearly. They've stepped their game up with the 10, and I think it'll be the device to put them back in the game.

The Galaxy S7 family speaks for itself.

As for Motorola, I'd avoid them like the plague. They're horrible with updates and are getting sued right now for failing to properly honor their customers warranty claims.

Oneplus is a toss up, IMO. The Oneplus 3 could be a hit or a miss. I'm not sure when it's supposed to drop, but I'd keep my eye on it.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igorrafael:
Interesting, I personally had very good experience with Motorola and have seen a lot of people having trouble with samsung phones.

My view on Samsung is biased though, as I barely consider them android phones. Prejudice aside ;), I see them as designed for people who want the status of iPhones but want something "like an android".

I hope the OnePlus 3 turns out to be good :)
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rizzed:
Well, sorry for saying this, but I personally do not trust any companies from (you know which country). Their phones may pack in very high specifications at very low and attractive prices, but really, there must be a catch, right? (personal opinion)

I live in Singapore and unfortunately, I don't see any Motorola smartphones being sold at any of our major electronics store or even online.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HampTheToker:
I didn't say Moto makes a bad phone. On the contrary, their phones are usually pretty solid. It's their business practices and weak update support that turns me off, but they undeniably make good phones. Just don't expect to run the latest and greatest Android has to offer a year after release.

My opinion of Samsung is biased as well. My previous device was a Galaxy S4, and I LOVED it. It was a damn good phone that could take whatever I threw at it. And, the dev support...that phone had every ROM and mod you could ever want. The only reasons I didn't stick with Sammy were the price, and I the fact that my Samsung experience had gotten a little stale after three years with a Galaxy S4. Plus, these Zenfone variants dropped when I was ready to upgrade, and they were pretty attractive. I don't regret it for a second. Like I said previously, if Asus would drop ZenUI, I'm certain that the root community would want what they have to offer.

Oneplus is due to release a good device. I have a good feeling that they'll drop that crappy invite system this time around. If they do that and give us another flagship killer, the Oneplus 3 would be more than likely sell like hotcakes.

So i tried this I took the twrp.img file and placed it in my fastboot folder on my linux pc and ran this command from terminal. fastboot boot /opt/android-sdk/platform-tools/twrp-3.0.2-.img and it worked!!! it booted into twrp and was able to install custom rom and gapps. here is the term output for my other cell my moto g falcon that this also worked on. Sorry i did not save the output from the asus. But both worked the same.

[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rizzed:
I don't think that it was an "error". I think it was just a message saying that any modifications to the system are disabled until you slide the slider at the bottom of the screen, allowing modifications to be made.

If possible, do take a picture of what it says and post it up here.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igorrafael:

[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rizzed:
Well, there's no point in showing that, is there? The fact that he is able to boot TWRP already shows that the bootloader is unlocked. The problem that he is facing is a completely different thing.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igorrafael:
I was wondering if there's any chance that the phone could be unlocked and that message still report that it is locked. I understand it is unlikely, just wanted to have all the information :)

What would happen if I tried to flash TWRP with the bootloader locked: would the flashing fail or just be unable to boot?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sziraqui:
Flashing would be successful, your stock recovery would be replaced with TWRP. BUT WHEN YOU TRY TO REBOOT TO RECOVERY the device would go in a recovery BOOTLOOP. You will be able to boot to android OS but not to recovery mode unless you reflash stock recovery.

I have done this on my ZE550KL.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rizzed:
UPDATE: For those who are on ZE550KL, your bootloader unlock tool should be working now.

Just tried it on firmware version 1.17.40.1234, with the unlock tool downloaded at https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9rp3AJHKJXjcHVSTWlTdHFINHM/view (from ASUS ZenFone BLOG)

[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sziraqui:
This is a serious issue

I am in the same situation, but after flashing ZE600KL 's 1.15.40.771 firmware.

The worst thing is, even if asus launches Unlock App for ZE550KL, you and I cannot use it to unlock or device. The app will say "The device is unlocked" and it won't try to unlock your phone. Seems there is some unlocked flag set-up somewhere but without affecting the aboot. We need to find this flag and remove it otherwise our device can never be unlocked!!!

For Sunshine to work, flash MaximumHD , or you could also flash ViperOneM8 (suggested by JCase, one of the Sunshine devs) for it to work.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Error 155 is common for MM RUUs, as there is a peculiarity with the MM RUUs, in which you can't upgrade from LP (or KK for that matter) by RUU unless you first run the MM firmware.zip.

Try flashing the full signed firmware 6.20.651.3 from the following thread (with instructions on how to flash) then run the RUU 6.20.651.3 again:

Or your other option is to flash the 4.25.651.18 RUU (same thead) and OTA to MM.

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

Hard to know what you are talking about, if you don't supply the required specifics (what ROMs exactly).

But only ROMs that specifically support Sprint, will work on your phone, due to kernel differences between Sprint and most other versions of the M8.

Running the MM RUU isn't going to change this fact. It seems your goal is to be able to install other ROMs?
