I landed here because my Asus Zenfone Laser 2 [ZE550KL - Z00L] is soft-brick, but I found no unbrick instructions unlike said in the title. How can I unbrick it? Possibly, give me Linux procedures. Otherwise I'll install Windows just for this aim. Thanks.

Help unbrick my device

I did flashed a wrong firmware to my device. Z00T TO Z00L. Now my screen display split into 4 screen. And I cant flash back the stock rom for my Z00T device. Can anyone help me solve my issue.?

I can still boot into recovery.

I already tried every possible ways to restore my system back to stock but I got no luck.

My bootloader is lock and I cant flash twrp.

Try flashing stock rom using asus flashtool
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] mRdwAYNe:
Is there any way aside from flashtool? Flashtool detected my device as fastboot mode and the battery as at 1%. Flashtool required at least 50% battery charged.

thanks for the heads up
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] SayMobile:
While PocketCM is great, Touchpal is really amazing once you learn it. These two are simply the best SIPs ever!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] bugsywabbit:
both are good SIPs.

For those who are using PocketCM Contact, TouchPal will not work for you. PocketCM Keyboard will. This is one reason why I use PocketCM Keyboard.

Otherwise, love Touchpal's flexibility.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] panda88:
Yes. For those who love Touchpal, please download before 7th Dec. Personally I like to use TouchPal but.....memory consumption is slightly higher than PocketCM keyboard.

Currently using Mysterious 1.0. Before installing TouchPal the free memory was 25mb and after is 23mb the highest. For your info, touchpal is the only "third party" software added to my PDA.

Anyone have something similar to this

http://www.amazon.com/iHome-iBT55LGC-Bluetooth-Rechargeable-Speaker/dp/B00VVZE4SW

When paired with our phones and tablets, in a noisy area, it overcomes the volume limitations of the phone or tablet

The idea is to have a hands free BT speaker, yet be able to remain mobile so this is not to be confused with a stationary speaker that could be placed on a table or on the ground.
[XDA Assist] Hamadm1:
Hello everyone,

I'm new to the site, and I have a problem with my tablet.

I formatted the ESP (from cwm) in my Lenovo yoga tablet 2-1015L, after it's been soft bricked after an update.

The BIOS version is: Blade_21.x64.0005.R00.1504101447 FFD8_X64_R_2015_04_10_1448

Now I only can access the BIOS and the DnX Mode (Volum up+down).

I tried the Phone Flash tool lite, but it failed.

So, I appreciate any help.

Thanks

Step 1: Use two fingers and make a zoom in gesture (drag outward) on the home screen.

Hidden apps menu will open.

Step 2: Tap the Add button and select all the apps except the ones which you have on your dock and tap ok.

All the apps will disappear from the screens.

Step 3: Make the zoom in gesture again on the home screen.

Hidden apps menu will open again.

Step 4: Go to the last page and tap add again.

Step 5: Deselect all the apps one by on in order (since they are automatically arranged alphabetically) and tap ok.

You now have all the apps in alphabetical order.

The drawback is that you need to manually arrange the icon of newly installed apps yourself (or if you have more new apps just redo this method)

So I bought a used Huawei Watch. It seems to be a test-dev device.

Can't update it as update packages dont expect its version:

Any tips how to update it to 6.0?

Cant wait to get my hands on these new ones to try out
[One (M9) Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
That is so good to hear!

I am testing another one that should strike that sweet spot of having cool thermals and best sustainable performance in gaming.

Underclocks the little cluster and keeps thermals intact! Good to gear you enjoying your time :D

My question was about the thermal config files...which one did you loaded on your device? If you are unsatisfied with one file, load another one and see if there is any difference. Then you will be able to choose the right file for your daily usage and prefference.

[MENTION=5060769]Mostafa Wael[/MENTION] Hey thanks for all this work you're doing. I'm like you stuck with exams for now but I'm hoping to explore thermal configuration as soon as possible. I will keep following this thread and reading what people say about it. Cheers mate

[One (M9) Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
For those who stream YouTube so much like me, I use the daily-usage (relaxed edition) and the CPU governor settings in the recommendations post, which is linked in the 2nd post.

However, to make it easy for you (Don't get used to this :p ) here are the changed CPU governor settings

timer_rate -> 50000

go_hispeed_load -> 90

min_sample_time -> 80000

Input_boost set to 0 ms and 0/disabled frequency for the first core, just turn that damn thing off, it just screw battery life.

This are the values you need to change in the CPU Governor settings in the LITTLE cluster, leave the big cluster untouched! And use the thermal file named "daily usage (relaxed)"

You should be cool with these settings.

And again, here is a disclaimer, I am really too busy to follow the threads here in xda, so if there is something really urgent, just quote me or mention me, I should be available shortly with an answer to your question :)

Any help from my fellows will be greatly appreciated! :good: :highfive:
[One (M9) Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
I hope my previous post above yours does answer your question.

:D

If you are interested in what makes it hot while watching youtube, it is just the CPU hanging at 960 MHz all the time while watching the YouTube video, and therefore it naturally heats up the device and runs down your battery like a dead dog in the streets. With the changes in the CPU governor settings, it should utilise all the mid frequencies as well. ;)

Also, another disclaimer, though mentioned in the first page, the "Gaming" folder is pretty much experimental now, I have discovered that it still needs some work to be done sadly, I am running a newer one rewritten from the scratch for gaming, so please stay away from that gaming folder for now till further notice!

Thanks! :)

[One (M9) Android Development] biglo:
[MENTION=5060769]Mostafa Wael[/MENTION] Was completely swamped at work today so I wasnt really able to test the config file after switch over also I installed a custom kernel to try and underclock my device earlier before using the config file and now i have a battery drain so I'm going to do a nice clean wipe and just use your config file. Hopefully it doesnt take too long and I can experience the coolness like you are! Im not a intensive phone user so i dont game or anything so I no performance wont be an issue for me. These processor manufacturers need to stop emphasizing speed and power now and start focusing on battery life cause to me it almost seems as if all the high end phone coming out now perform the same with just little difference. Thanks for the big help will report but soon hopefully.

Hexacore mode on cooler?

I was using daily use relaxed I just changed to cooler but seems like I'm forced to be in hexacore mode and I'm having higher temperatures, I'm on leedroid rom with leedroid kernel

Update: after a full charge I woke up to a device keeping temperatures in below 40 degree mark with all the cores working looking forward to see how it will do during the day..
[One (M9) Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
It is not fully compatible on AOSP ROMs, including CM.

about that moto X force request, please upload your stock thermal file from /system/etc/thermal-engine.conf path and I will try to make it work as much as I can :)
[One (M9) Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
well hexacore mode is initiated when battery temperature reaches 36 degrees so that is safe

but that edit you wrote is the worrying part...

keep me updated with a mention please :)
[One (M9) Android Development] MuyKurioso:
Thanks a lot, you rock. Also, the Moto X Force has 3 thermal config... Thanks for giving it a shot.
[One (M9) Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Looks like it is a very complex configuration ...

Does the phone have the three files at the same time ? You picked up the three files from the same folder ?? It will certainly take some time to break if true.. :rolleyes:
[One (M9) Android Development] MuyKurioso:
Yeah... the three files are in sistem/etc. It's ok if you don't crack it. I also didn't think it would be like that
[One (M9) Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Okay, each file's syntax is understood well

But there are something missing that I need to understand in order not to mess things up. They must be either linked or executed on different thresholds... need to look in it carefully

[One (M9) Android Development] acidspider:
How do i decide on which file to use please?
[One (M9) Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Uhmm... well short answer: trial and error :p

However, it depends on your usage.

Do you play games ? ==> try gaming beta 2.0, if not satisfied, switch to daily use

Just using the phone ? ==> you are better off with daily use file, if not satisfied, switch to daily usage (relaxed)

Light usage ? ==> go for cooler, if not satisfied, go for the daily use (relaxed)

:)

Be happy :D
[One (M9) Android Development] acidspider:
Thanks, and what app can be used to monitor the temp? Is it temperature I'd be looking at?
[One (M9) Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
ok after some testing, it turned out that the "cooler" file isn't actually that much cooler :/

so it is not recommended

people who care for stability, go for daily use files....

need answers asap, important to me :)

I prefer gaming beta_2.0 if you wonder, it is spicy, it is cool on daily use and pushes the limits when needed :cowboy:
[One (M9) Android Development] biglo:
Sounds good to me, as you can tell I'm a pretty basic user just some reading and whatsapp and Im good lol. If I could swap out the chip entirely and get new slower cooler one I would.
[One (M9) Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
okay, here is the situation.

the new file is very similar to the first one and it had one problem, when 38 degrees is approached, it keeps rising, albeit it takes a lot more time to climb up the ramp to 37 degrees.

so decreasing the core count may not be a good idea after all

after some testing, I have came up with a conclusion that minimum core count for the little cores is 3 and for the big cores is 2

so, I am going to test a new file which decreases the cores count directly to 3:2 mode, then begins underclocking the frequencies for both clusters...

currently I am busy at the moment, studying and working. having a hard life here. had to skip sleeping yesterday so I am soooooo sick now...

will work on it asap...
[One (M9) Android Development] biglo:
Not a problem, take your time.
[One (M9) Android Development] lu_peng2:
thanks Mostafa, ur files are amazing

will stick with cooler the whole weekend and then tray relaxed

but i already can't imagine hat i can get better!!

Aren't you meant to be getting some sleep and studying? lol :D;)

Anyway, after putting the cooler file to the test I noticed that the temps were not any better than daily relaxed and I also saw your post so I switched back to daily relaxed :)
[One (M9) Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
Yes it was an attempt to go cooler, but we are really beating around one bush, S810 is a HOT chip :)

[One (M9) Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
okay here are my findings....

1- limiting core count is not that good in our M9. After some tests I have came to the conclusion that the minimum core count for the little cluster should be no less than 3 and for the big cluster should be no less than 2, otherwise there will be some weird change in frequencies for both clusters, which will lead to unpredictable results... and may backfire into more heat and less battery life.

2- GPU heats up the device bad. After digging in the gaming arena myself, I found some unrealistic readings for both CPU clusters, for instance, when the CPU is ranging between 384 MHz and 960 MHz only in Marvel Future Fight, CPU temp for little cluster was something like 54-56!? :eek: and big cluster was ...52!? while limited to 960 MHz. So that indicates that the lion, named Adreno 430, that we unleashed from its cage has actually left some wee behind, and it is causing troubles... :rolleyes:

3- limiting the Little cluster to beyond its stock frequency "1.5 GHz" will actually backfire in daily use scenarios. For instance, chrome browsing. When limited the Litle cores to 1.2-1.3 GHz, it migrated the threads to the big cluster, which caused it to run maxed out at the specified max frequency of 960 MHz at the time. But when I reverted that change and kept the Little cluster at 1.5 GHz, the big cluster was quite dormant, just jumping up to 768 MHz and barely reaches the specified max frequency :good:

So that old school trick of underclocking the Little cluster actually is not good as we initially thought, however I am still at my opinion that for hardcore gaming, underclocking the little cluster is a necessity since it is too poor to run the game. Still to be practically confirmed after my exams :)

4- manipulating the Little cluster via tuning the CPU governor settings is perfection, underclocking it is not good as we thought.

Currently I am testing a file where it throttles down to 3:2 mode and keep the Little cluster at 1.5 GHz untouched while throttling the big cluster gradually depending on the temperature. I already pushed that test version of daily (relaxed) in my DropBox folder, go pick it if you want and be my guest :D

Still using daily file, temp remains low but in the past week i started suffering from battery drain and i'm not sure why. I didn't not install or uninstall anything. At night lose 10-15%. Is there something that file does that makes the battery drain grow exponentially over time? I really have no idea what's going on ?.?
[One (M9) Android Development] Mostafa Wael:
nothing related to thermal files of mine I assure you :)

And stay in the daily use area, still trying to improve it via gradual throttling, latest test was insanely good on battery life, and so was the thermals, but some may face some lags in things like typing on a keyboard so,... still there are some work to be done :rolleyes:

will test how 3:2 mode goes with reduced frequency for big cores, decreasing it gradually from 1.4 -> 1.3 -> 1.2 -> 0.96 GHz at 35 ->36 -> 41 -> 43 degrees

3:2 mode shall only kick in when approaching 42 degrees. big cores will vary from 3 to 2 online cores depending on temps :)

will resume testing after my exam after 2 hours, wish me good luck in that :D
