[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] long2ski:
I would NOT use this stock image for ze551kl. There is one for the 601 and the 550 but not 551kl. I will find the thread with the first stock recovery posted that I used and post the link in a while. Give me a chance to find it. I would roll back to it, then upgrade to the stock firmware listed in the unlocker notes. Once it's unlocked, you can go to the last lollipop before marshmallow and flash it. I would then factory reset, then flash marshmallow. After you have it working, then flash twrp (or just boot it in adb) as I said above and flash supersu.

I will warn you that a lot of people have had trouble unlocking and this might not work to unlock.

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3585486&d=1450811354 here is the link to stock for the very first stock firmware. I followed a video posted on YouTube from "themobileshots" on returning to stock from cm13. I doubt you can flash the stock recovery without flashing twrp first, then flashing from there. There are a lot of people in this forum that can help and most are pretty patient. Don't give up.

Finally I got my phone unlocked and rooted and it was too easy ...

I used fastboot to flash TWRP ( http://xdaforums.com/zenfone-2-laser/general/ze601kl-official-marshmallow-wwv21-40-t3424903 ) and after that I flashed the latest CM13 from TWRP to gain root and unlocked my bootloader with this guide http://xdaforums.com/zenfone-2-laser/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-asus-unlock-app-t3405850

I never though I could flash TWRP with a locked bootloader but it worked very well.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niveku:
Well, I have TWRP with locked bootloader and tried to unlock the bootloader with that guide in CM13. I didn't work for me

I tried to do a lot of things to get back to Stock ROM but they didn't work. I watched that tutorial but the files belongs to ZE550kl, so any other ideas? :crying:
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cilk:
Me too the first time I tried to unlock my bootloader in CM13 it didn't worked. I followed the guide and I did this :

Phone connected to the computer with USB debug and using ADB :

adb shell
su

Then I followed the backup procedure and I did the magic command to unlock it :

echo -ne "\x01" | dd obs=1 count=1 seek=16 of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/devinfo

After I rebooted in fastboot so see if my device was unlocked but no it was still lock. I did two adb reboot with these command :

fastboot oem adb_enable
fastboot oem adb_enable

You have to do these twice.

After this my bootloader was still locked but I did a normal reboot and tried the magic command and voila! Bootloader unlocked.

If you have the ZE551KL like me you have to use file for a Z00T. You can check this page to know which device is a Z00T : http://xdaforums.com/zenfone-2-laser/general/index-zenfone-2-laser-variants-t3369569

In my case I also had some difficulty to go back to Stock since I couldn't find the right firmware for mine because my android version is 21.40.1220.1698 and you have to flash the same version. The only place I found it was there https://asus.kremowka.xyz/categories/show/2 under the ZE601KL
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beenkenobee:
i see there is a mm unlock apk for the ze601kl there also...i wonder if that would work on the ze551kl.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] long2ski:
The video is for the 550 but the process is the same for the 551kl (zootd). I downloaded the stock firmware at the bottom of the page on the Asus support page https://www.asus.com/support/Download/39/1/0/23/SZCx58yhB5Jst0yI/32/ , extracted it, grabbed the boot.IMG from there and put it on my memory card along with the stock recovery from the link above (renamed it recovery.img) and the full firmware (drag the original, leave it zipped). Then I did as the video says and wiped in twrp, flashed the boot and recovery, wiped cache, then flashed the firmware. It took awhile for the process to complete. Hope this helps.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niveku:
Well, somehow that worked! Thanks, you should make a new post as a tutorial, I'm sure people will find that usefull.

Edit: Has someone rooted stock MM?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cilk:
Yes I'm currently writing one :)

For the stock MM yep I did it. I just installed the stock one after my bootloader was unlock and followed a tutorial here for root. I really like the stock Asus, way better than the samsung with touchwiz in my opinion.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waltsmith049:
So, to recap. If you are at the latest update, and have never previously unlocked bootloader or rooted your phone. The ASUS provided unlock tool won't work on the latest update. With it locked you can't install custom recovery or downgrade the firmware to an older version so that you can unlock it. Catch 22. Screwed until ASUS releases an update to their unlock tool or someone figures something else out. Or am I missing something? Cause I've been trying to do something with my kids phone for two days now and no luck here doing anything. Bout 8 million guides and files around the net and none of em seem to do squat in my situation. Any comments? Let's hear em.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] SuperThomasLab:
Hello Crank.head,

Let's try and get this solved through Root Essentials. I want you to contact me through Root Essentials and send me:

1. All details on your phone type, firmware, security version (this way we can purchase the exact situation and get it duplicated over here);

2. All details on your SD cards (try more than one card) regarding specs (size, speed, class, brand);

3. All SuperSU output on Root Essentials;

4. All Screenshots on progress of Adoptable. Before you reboot take a screenshot of Settings>Storage. Reboot phone. After reboot again a screenshot of storage.

Prior to the steps (2, 3, 4) above, I want you to configure SuperSU for Root Essentials as follows:

1. Access: Grant;

2. Notifications: Global default;

3. Logging: Full content;

4. Force user: ( None );

5. Tap on V to save.

You are free to post all results on XDA in the mean time, then everyone can have a laugh if we cannot solve it. Still, the least we can do together is get this fixed once and for all, and improve Root Essentials to free all slaves.

Any contribution (through discussion, testing Root Essentials with feedback through app on specs) that leads to solving this is most appreciated.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verynoob:
Hello,

I had a custom ROM, with TWRP recovery. I did a factory reset, but when it restarted, only the TEAMWIN logo (with the blueish background) appeared flashing.

Also, whenever I plug the charger, the phone will turn on by itself to the same flashing screen (Even though I do not press the ON button).

I tried entering recovery by HOME+VOLUME UP+ON together, but the flashing screen won't disappear.

I also tried flashing with Odin and got <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0) << coulnd't find anywhere solution to this problem!!

Is there anything I can do?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verynoob:
Update:

To anyone who is going to encounter ODIN flashing problem in the future, talking about the <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0). The problem was that the drivers were not working well, so I went to Samsung developer website and downloaded the USB driver for Samsung phones, and then ODIN worked.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hodoi:
I just experienced the same problem: after a phone crash due to battery problems my encrypted data partition was not readable any more. The last thing cm said, before the flashing twrp image appeared was that a factory reset with data loss is necessary.

Solution for me was: adb was still accessible and showed my device in recovery mode. So I flashed the newest version of twrp by using first adp to transfer the img-file and then also via adb the shell command dd to write. Afterwards the new twrp version was able to start, with problems though as my data partition showed 0 Bytes length and was not mountable. Therfore I had to reformat this partition with twrp. Afterwards everything was ok again and I could reinstall a new custom rom image.

Hello and thanks for reading,

I'm currently a T-Mobile subscriber, but I'm using an unlocked Verizon HTC One M8.

The phone is currently rooted has S-Off and Super CID.

The problem I have is that my data connection seems to constantly drop randomly.

Whether I'm on a call, sending or receiving group messages / MMS, or simply browsing the web.

I have to switch on airplane mode at least 20+ times a day to obtain a data signal.

My cellular network type is consistently on EDGE.

I CANT SEEM TO GET ANY 4G OR LTE.

Can someone point me in the correct path to fix the issue.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbs25:
I used to have this issue, until I activated T-Mobile bands that are originally deactivated by Verizon from the factory. Maybe this was a huge coincidence, but I had the exact same problems until I did this. Also flashed LolliGPE at this time.

You can use CDMA tool to achieve this. There are numerous guides on how to do this on XDA, feel free to send a PM if you need more explanation or w/e.

Also, it wouldn't hurt to factory reset from stock recovery to correct any potentially corrupted NV items.

[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] _AI_:
I have a friend who is on MetroPCS here in the States and he can't seem to get his SIM card to be seen by this device. It was originally meant as a going-to-college gift but has turned into more of a headache than a gift. Yes, we know that MetroPCS uses T-Mobile's towers and the Blu R1 HD is entirely compatible with it...we just don't know why his SIM won't work. Originally we had to get a SIM adapter for the Nano SIM to make it fit the MicroSIM slots, but regardless of which slot we put it in, the phone is stuck on "Emergency Calls Only".

If anyone could help, that'd be a lifesaver, as he starts school on the 22nd of August.

Things we've tried:

Going through the searching for operators function in settings->more->cellular networks

Entering different values in APNs (settings->more->cell networks->APNs)

Restarting a bagillion times

Changing preferred networks

Repeatedly tapping on which sim slot to use for data and messaging

Going into Data Usage only to not find the Cellular data option next to MetroPCS
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] ColtonDRG:
Did you try another SIM? It's possible that the phone itself is shot. Otherwise, the SIM could be shot. Did you try the SIM in another device? It seems unlikely (however, not impossible) that the SIM and the phone just don't like each other. It's also possible that your adapter is positioning the SIM incorrectly. You should be able to get a good one by going to a T-Mobile store. They usually have a few laying around.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] jatan1986:
Doesn't Metro require you to give them the phone's IMEI before being able to use the new phone? Contact Metro CS and tell them you got a new phone that you want to use and give them the IMEI

If you alrdy did that then try using another active SIM (borrow from friend/family) and see if that works fine with the phone in case the phone is defective
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] jackofalltrades:
I have Metro PCS and this phone. You need to call MetroPCS and give them the IMEI. Make sure you give them the right IMEI as there are 2 SIM slots on the phone - each with its own IMEI

Hi! i have been seeking on this thread for long to find a solution for ram management and shortage of app installing storage. but this thread couldn't help me.. but i have found a solution. You can use Apps2sd- All in one tool from play store. All you have to do is open the app and make a partition for adoptable storage. after that you can move all the apps you want to move. On marshmallow you couldn't move all the apps to SD. so just insall the apk. and there's a option in the same apk hibernate apps. by using this feature you can save minimum 200mb from memory. you can use turbo mode to speed up the phone! thankyou.

I installed Android 6 using Andrei Măceș' cm_ovation zip file, and it worked fine. However, I made a custom zip on OpenGapps.org and was told I didn't have enough memory on /system to install it to the Nook HD+-- even though I had a 2 GB microSD card?

I then did the same on a 64 GB mSD card and got the same message. So it's not the card size that's the problem. I was able to install Google Play by making a 'pico' sized zip on OpenGApps, but would anyone know why the nano or larger versions wouldn't work? I created my partition on the microSD card using win32 disk imager and wasn't prompted for partition sizes that I could tell.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HMSVictorious:
I believe it's to do with Marshmallow being so large- it's nothing to do with your SD, it's all to do with the internal storage that has been partitioned before hand and allocated for the OS. The play suite has to be accommodated in this storage partition to work and there isn't enough room.

I'll try to find you the link I aw but it wasn't something I fancied myself so I settled with Pico.
