Sorry for the repetitive post. I am asking the same questions as above but thought that it would be smart to ask the OP the question, too.

I have the WW version of the ze551kl and want to get back to stock marshmallow: I am currently on cm13 and was previously on stock marshmallow:

Here is what I did to get try to get back to stock:

1. I rebooted into twrp recovery, wiped dalvik, cache, (basic factory reset) and installed the last lollipop Version WW-1.17.40.1531 that I was running prior to cm 13 (as the OP directions said. (I had unzipped the official Asus firmware with 7zip on my PC, deleted the updater script, renamed the generic updater to updater-scipt and put it in the same folder, then rezipped with 7zip.) The zip is on my external sd card.

2. It booted and got to the welcome screen but everytime I went to go through setup, it rebooted. One time, it did say android is upgrading (with only 5 apps so I know that's not right), then the same bootloop started again.

3. I tried the same technique with the MM update just to see if it would work and I get an error right away so I know that is not going to work.

Luckily twrp still is my recovery and I was able to install my backup of cm13.

Any suggestions? Should I try rolling back to an earlier version? Is unzipping and rezipping not the way to do it? I am open to any ideas you may have. Thanks!
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] sziraqui:
Did you check the size of the zip after rezipping? It should be at least 1.4 gb. Is your pc running out of memory? This happened with me when my pc had just 2gb free hard disk space left. While rezipping, compression level should be set to "normal" and your windows partition should have enough space for rezipping
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] bert269:
Hi

I am not sure as I never loaded cm13 (and that seems to be the only difference)- and the fact that I was on the second, oldest LP release, with TWRP and rooted.

I first tried to go directly to MM, with this generic-updater script, but it did not work.

I had to upgrade three versions of LP and only then could I upgrade to MM.

I think the secret to ASUS OTA rom installs are the recovery. You will have to get on their stock recovery for the upgrades to work. I could not get it to load with TWRP installed. But the moment I had the stock recovery, have the OTA file in the root of int.sdcard and reboot, it boots right into the rom, noticed the updated rom and installs it.

As I said, I could not get it installed with TWRP as recovery.

Good luck

See my advise above.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] long2ski:
Thanks for the quick reply! The zip is 1.65 GB according to file explorer. Yes, plenty of memory and I did choose normal compression. Should I just try again to download and redo my zip? Should I wipe system and / or internal in twrp, too, then install? Thanks, again.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] sziraqui:
Whenever you want to go back to stock, you must wipe system. Custom ROMs format your system partition and change system partition size because of which going back to stock is a pain. No offense, custom Rom developers do this to ensure the rom works on variants with smaller system partition size
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] SoNic67:
Another suggestion: Use 7zip to manipulate the zip files. The Windows default one is not compatible.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] long2ski:
Unfortunately, the lack of stock recovery image is my problem. I was hoping for some magic here to get it back. I do not have any recovery except twrp. I am going to retry the zip again but download a fresh version to see if it was corrupted somehow. I'll report back if it works.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] bert269:
That was how I got mine back.

Put it on your internal SD after you modified the zip to include the generic updater script. Reboot your device.

It should pick up the rom on the sdcard and reboot and install the recovery.

If that does not work, I have no idea.

I did try and look for the recovery.img inside the OTA roms, but could fine any, in any if the OTA roms.

Maybe do a Google search on the rom version and recovery - I have seen some out there, but cannot relocate it.

Sorry.

[Zenfone 2 Laser General] long2ski:
Sorry to bother again. No luck with getting back to stock. I'm on cm13 ZOOT and was previously on stock WW marshmallow for ze551kl. Here is what I tried:

Rebooted to twrp recovery. Went to wipe then advanced wipe: wiped dalvik, cache, system (I also checked internal on another try).

Went to install from microsd and installed the zip from the latest lollipop update before marshmallow with the generic updater script (renamed updater-script and replaced the original) that I had unzipped and rezipped using 7zip.

The process went through to "done" (or something like that) although I never got a "success" note or a note to reboot system as I have for all other roms. I went to reboot and I did get a warning that "no OS installed. Do you want to reboot?" and I chose to reboot anyway knowing I still have twrp installed and could install my nandroid backup. I still get a constant boot to Asus logo, the stock boot (???) logo with bluish highlights that I remember from stock and sometimes get to the welcome screen to continue but then an immediate reboot when I try to click on the button to begin registering.

Is this something I can do in adb or fastboot and if so, what exact commands should I use to install the firmware? Should I try an earlier version of lollipop with the updater script? Will this work with the Marshmallow firmware at all so I can go directly to marshmallow? Thank you for any help or ideas you may have.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] long2ski:
Thanks for the suggestion but that does not seem to work either. I need to wipe internal in twrp (see my other post), which of course makes it impossible to have the firmware there unless you have an idea how? Can I do it somehow in adb/fastboot and then flash it? I think since I don't have stock recovery, I assume that is why it was not recognized in cm13 and automatically update. CM13 is really stable and I like it mostly so I may just have to stay with it until I figure this out.

EDIT: I found a thread http://xdaforums.com/zenfone-2-laser/development/twrp-2-8-6-0-ze550kl-unofficial-t3276611 that has a stock recovery that it looks like you actually used this thread to get twrp on your phone. Is this risky to try to flash the stock image and then the firmware? The problem is that I also don't know which firmware this came from and don't really want to brick my phone with the wrong image. Ideas?
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] bert269:
You shold not brick your phone by flashing this recovery

Look at post #9. It seems to have the stock recovery for one of the first roms. Just look on the ASUS OTA page and download that same rom, put it on your internal sdcard's root dir, flash this recovery.

The reboot into this recovery and load this image from the sdcard.

That should work.

Once you get that rom installed, you'll have to upgrade one by one, like I had to do, to get to MM.

Good luck
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] long2ski:
Thanks [MENTION=541216]bert269[/MENTION], I finally had time to flash the recovery and am back on marshmallow stock. I followed a YouTube video from "themobileshots" on getting back to stock from cm13 and flashed boot and recovery from twrp, then flashed the first stock lollipop, I skipped the other lollipop firmwares up to the last, flashed it, then flashed marshmallow.

Any idea how to backup stock recovery so I have it for future failures?

When I view the pictures I have taken with my Galaxy s7 edge in the Samsung Gallery app it offers some functions that I would like to keep when I transfer the files to PC.

1) It seems there's some kind of AI that puts the pictures in categories like "food". Where is this Metadata stored an how can I reuse it once I transfered the files on my PC?

2) When taking pictures mith the camera you can enable that it records a short movie (2secs) how do I access this once the file is on my WIN PC

3) When taking panoramas to can access a little movie that shows how you turned the camera as well - is that one accessible on PC?

I've googled for an hour and couldn't relly find any relevant Info.

Can anybody give me a hint?

Thanks a lot

Hello,

I own a Huawei Honor 5x (KIW-AL10) and it seems to be the chinese version.

The problem is i cannot sync contacts or get google apps by default. It's really annoying. Plus some chinese words here and there, even if the language is set to english.

My question is : how safe would be flashing a stock ROM, but for a different version of the phone (USA, Europe).

Has anyone did this before ? And if so, what ROM and where to download it from ? I would like to receive Marshallow update too.

Thank you

Hello and thank you for your input.

The thing that buggs me right now is that i cannot use google contacts.

I've downloaded Play Store from Huawei thingy presinstalled on the phone and worked my way from there.

Google App, Gmail are up to date.

Problem is that "sync contacts" will not appear on Accounts > Google. I have given all permisions to Google app.

I need to find a way to switch to an European / Worldwide ROM. I am willing to pay for someone's time helping me.

I do love this phone and what it offers and i would like MM update too.

Unless that was some bone dry sarcasm, you answered your own question (bold text in your quote). For the sake of clarification, the talented, generous devs who have immeasurably improved our Note 4 experience

owe you nothing

. You've paid money, likely a great deal of it, to Samsung/T-mobile and it took them 10 months to deliver an update. What have you contributed to the developers who use their own free time to work extremely hard and freely share the fruits of their labor (which puts the aforementioned profit-driven entities to shame) that entitles you to expect a custom fine-tuned ROM within "a few days"?

If you want to run MM the stock ROM is finally ready and waiting. You can even do so with root access and customize it to the extent of your ability... again thanks to the most valuable members of this community who receive little if anything more than our appreciation and respect in return.

There will be custom TW MM ROMs when and if developers are ready to take time out of their busy lives to create and release them. Whenever that happens to be, the members who participate and contribute what they can to this community will be extremely appreciative. Thankfully the group here is a friendly and helpful bunch. This subforum would be a ghost town if more shared the entitled attitude in this insulting joke of a topic. Waiting 10 months after release for a $$ "flagship" to be updated to the current OS by a company who wants you to continue paying them money is something to be upset about. Waiting... however long for a

generous

developer to rip that update apart and fine-tune it into something that they're willing to share with a (mostly...) supportive community is not.
