[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jhornands:
Hi guys, a Zenfone 2 (model ZE550KL) device show bootloop on logo ASUS. This trouble has begin after update via OTA.

The deveice no rooted, no unlocked bootloader.

The recovery version is LRX22G.WW_user_1,15.40.639_20151029

I tried flash firmware via recovery mode. Downloaded (differents versions) firmwares archives STOCK ROM in website support official of ASUS and put my device in recovery mode > apply update from sdcard > select the file zip firmware. This procedure is ok and complete no errors.

But when i power on, in boot has a show loop in logo again. The system no boot :crying::crying::crying:

Someone help me flash firmware by others procedures? Like a fastboot for example... (unlock bootloader is need)

Help me please!!!
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiimpig1:
If you not using root or bootloader and got bootloop when update via OTA, best thing to do is bring to ASUS
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dark_lord:
Dude the first boot may take time ... so i advise you to wait for atleast 20 mins
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Zeus-:
boot after an update takes some time....wait till android is upgrading screen comes
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yograjfire18:

adb sideload filename.zip
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jhornands:
Tank u for sugestion... I tried it... The flash complete and ok, no errors...

But stiil stuck in the screen logo ASUS.

I think flash fastboot mode fix it, but the bootloader is locked...:silly:

I was using tomtom on my Kaiser yesterday and all of a sudden the screen just went completely white so i powered off the phone and now cannot power it back on, if i attach a charger the left led is just constant red and still won't power on.

Has anyone else had this ?, the manual doesn't say anything about a constant red led i assume i'm going to have to get a replacement unless anyone knows how to get it going again.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ekw:
it means dead battery. Plug kaiser in external power supply(not computer) and try to power it on. Once it loads put it into standby and let it charge for a few hours.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] matt sb:
It happened to me and it never turned on again. I think it's dead. No amount of charging or anything else helped.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] spooki37:
Thanks for the replies, just got off the phone to HTC customer services and the Kaiser is indeed dead. booked in for repair so it's back to using the trusty wizard for a couple of weeks.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] RR-99:
Can you lucky guys who already have the Mate 9 please clear this up?

The second slot - is this really dual purpose, can you choose whether to use it for a memory card OR for a second SIM?

Thanks!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Mikeoscar62:
It's either a second (nano) sim or an sd card up to 256gb. I wish you could have all three at the same time, but it's already quite rare to have a dual sim phone here in Europe.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] albireox:
Yes. You can share it between a SIM or a microSD card.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] RR-99:
Many thanks albireox. That's good to hear.

I'm really impressed with the spec of this phone. They seem to have got just about everything right.

I'm particularly pleased they they have chosen not to follow the trend to a higher screen resolution that just wastes battery power.

Looking forward to FedEx arriving with mine on Monday!

Thanks also to Mikeoscar62!

I missed your post the first time round.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] albireox:

I use it for a few days now and it's the best phone I ever owned. The screen is really gorgeous so nothing to worry about that.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Abdulhadi_Alenzi:
I have used the phone almost a week and oh boy it's so fast and smooth

What I like the most:

-screen it's so bright and shiny

- speakers so loud and clear

-the gesture on screen

-battery oh boy solid and no drain

-so many options in the camera

-fingerprint you have to see how much it's faaaast

What I don't like:

-notification that show number instead of icons but I think with such issue updates will solve it

Alas, the Porsche and Pro variant doesn't have the hybrid functionality. They only have dual sim; no SD card slot. A bit strange that the more expensive models have a reduced feature set.

good work mate
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] vhick:
Great tutorial! Have a some questions:

1. After successfully doing this, If I decided to full clean wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache, internal storage, and format data, the size will be reset? Do I need to do all the steps again?

2. If I decided to go back in default partition size I just flash that to reset all the steps? Or there will be a steps to reset all I've done?

Thank you.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] rk2shashank:
no you just have to go to

wipe >mark on system>click repartition

go back you can see system size 1.2gb
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] vinayak.ghimire:
after doing this can i flash latest twrp ?
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] freeshared:
1.You can do all the wiping as usual, size of partition wil stay as it is and won't get reset,but if you're flashing current version of cm14.1 again you need to resize "System" partition before flashing gapps.

2.You additionally need to change "System" partition too to F2FS and than to EXT4(like you do with "Data" partition),in case you're going back to default partition.

I forgot to mention point 2 in OP,I will now add this there
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] freeshared:
Ya you can.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] vinayak.ghimire:
and whats the size of userdata and cache partition ?
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] vhick:
Based upon the scenario, the only concern is the system partition coz newer or update partition is too large. Cache partition is ok because it only use as a temp file partition. The userdata partition is large as internal storage because it shared as the same partition. That is the good thing at xiaomi phones, data partition is large as long as you have space in internal storage.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] freeshared:
Install diskinfo app and check
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] PapaDon TheGodfather:
Thanks for the script. It will help us a lot in now and in future also.

I know, i am asking too much. I bet we all are from developers but I will be very glad if you can provide me link of flashable file of TWRP and philz recovery 6.55.

Thanks Loads.

[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] sharathe100111:
Guys please help me:

Today morning I reparationed my Redmi 1s as the Op said. it went successful. after using for 5hours I've found an update from CM. So I updated using CM UPDATER APP. after reboot I've lost my Google play store and Google app (after updating to todays CM update using CM UPDATER APP). When I went to see the system partition size, it's size went back to the default 782mb (around 782mb, I don't remember exact size).

I checked whether it is disabled or what in apps. But I can't find there also. I tried Show system apps and reset app preferences, but nothing showed them.

I tried to get them back (play store and Google app) by resizing the partition to 1.2 gb (wipe>advanced wipe> Mark system>change or resize partition>back> checked system partition size whether 1.2gb or not>wipe cache and dalvik cache> reboot to system). But nothing worked.

So please help me in getting them back. Please exclude solution such as factory reset or flash gaggs again.

Is anybody else also facing the same issue or it's just me?:crying::crying::crying:
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] sharathe100111:
please give detailed instructions to get back to default partition as i am not anymore able to flash any rom on my device. Sometimes it strucks at patching system image unconditionally and sometimes shows error 7 in twrp. And not even being able flash using adb sideload. Please give detailed instructions to revert back to default partition
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] freeshared:
1)Detailed instructions for returning back to default partitions are given in op under the sub header "PPS", nothing more to add to it,just follow as it is.

2)I myself havent faced any issues till now iam currently on cm14.1 6-12-2016 version

3)Saw your posts on cm41.1 thread too,so you're on latest twrp

but still facing error 7,If possible post a screenshot of error 7(coz it never happed for me)

4)coming to the issue at hand,could you able to mount cache,system and data partitions.In twrp go to wipe>>advanced wipe>>select "cache">>Repair/change filesystem and see if everything(regarding partition size)is ok there.

Then do same for system and data too and check how are those partitions,if possible post screenshots.

Post your relpy as soon as possible.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] sharathe100111:
Thank you brother for your reply. Now i am on miui as i am not being able to go to CM14 anymore. But i can flash CM11. (it seems i can use only kitkat).

Here are the screenshots: for MOUNT, ADVANCED WIPE, CACHE, SYSTEM, DATA. And problem struck on patching system image unconditionally
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] freeshared:
1)looking at your screenshot,your system partition size is showing default size,did you reverted back to default partition table or you are still on 1.2gb script but system space reduced during flashing of cm ROM or miui 8 rom?

3)Are you on miui 8 when these screenshots were taken?

4)Are you Still on twrp 3.0.2-1?

Also pls do one more thing

-Copy "parted" to "/system/bin" using x-plore file manager or other similar fm

-give it appropriate permissions (755 in case of x-plore)

-Install terminal emulator, give is root permission and type the following without quotes

"parted /dev/block/mmcblk0"

"print"

-post the screenshot

[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] sharathe100111:
thank you so so so much brother for your reply.

Yes Brother i am on latest MIUI v8.1.2.0. and recovery on twrp v3.0.2-1.

Here is the screenshot you asked. And a log file which might be helpful in understanding exact problem. Once again thank you for your help.

(once again i wish to kindly remind you that i can flash stock MIUI rom but not custom rom. When iam i flashing custom rom it strucks at patching system image unconditionally).Thank you so much for your kind help.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] VikramK123:
Hey I'm having a bit of issue while trying to go back to the default partition sizes using PhilZ recovery and sideloading the stock partition size script. I get an error "E: failed to set up expected mounts for install; aborting" following which it aborts the installation. Any help would be much appreciated.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] freeshared:
Place script on external sd(since sideload is not working)

Using Philz recovery 6.55.0

Select"Install zip>>choose zip from/external_sd"
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] freeshared:
Buddy I understand your problem and feel your pain,I will try my best to solve it.

You didn't answered the first point I asked in your previous relply I,e

1)looking at your screenshot,your system partition size is showing default size,did you reverted back to default partition table or you are still on 1.2gb script but system space reduced during flashing of cm ROM or miui 8 rom?

Now I'm glad that you shed some light on it,in this lengthy post.

And once again coming back to the current problem,

I myself will return back to default partition table and try to flash cm 14.1 and see what happes and inform you abt it.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] sharathe100111:
Thank you very much bro. I forgot to see that 1st question. Yes i flashed the reset to default partitions.

And i know you can do this because you are the one who created the repartitioning script (great).

But bro, whe can see that sizes of all partitions (cache,system,data) listed in part file are differencing from twrp showing sizes. Then where do the remaining go?
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] sharathe100111:
Thank you very much bro. I forgot to see that 1st question. Yes i flashed the reset to default partitions. But that didn't worked well on my device.

And i know you can do this because you are the one who created the repartitioning script (great).

Then i received a kind of solution from our dear forum developer and senior member. That he sent me a repartition script to get default partiotion sizes. It worked well on System partition and came back to default partition size of 823mb.

here is that script: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120694028

But alongwith i received some more errors.

whenever i get into recovery i get all these errors:

E:Primary block device '/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata' for mount point '/data' is not present

Failed to mount '/cache' (Invalid argument)

Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)

Unable to recreate /data/media folder

i am not able to flash any rom with MIFlash tool (as it is not flashing, unspecified error: partition size too large).

i did flashing manually. But flashing of data and cache partitions was not successful.

It seems data and cache partitions are not properly marked in partition table. i tried bring another partition table but as i am not accessible to OS i can't get it (tried CMW philz recovery to get it as parted included, but my computer unable to identify adb in philz recovery. But Twrp can read through adb but there is no parted). Please if you know any other way to get partition table then please tell me to get it. (i can flash recoveries only from MIflash but not by using zip).

Here i am attaching some screenshots.

Finally i beg you to please help me get back to any version of android. AS my phone is dead (i can't hold tears in my eyes anymore):(:(:crying::crying::crying:
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] freeshared:
Sad to here that buddy,like I said I tested the issue myself and came out with a solution

I have updated the OP on returning to default partition table as well as added new script for cm14.1

Regarding your present situation,if the other two partitions I,e "Cache(block28)" and "Userdata(block29)" haven't been lost completely we can recover them.I will try my best to help you regarding this,provided they are only corrupt or unformatted but not lost completely.

Now,you do one thing.Flash the script to increase system partition to 1.2gb,see if you can recover cache and data then flash official cm14.1.If everything goes well return to default partition by flashing latest "Reset to default partition_Official cm14.1.zip"

If it doesnt work and you're unable to recover Cache and Userdata,post the screenshots of them(like you posted for "System" in your reply)
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] sharathe100111:
Brother aftre some research on the errors again, i found that data and cache partitions were missing in partition table. Here below i attached screenshot.

Now i have a doubt as i don't them in my partition table if i flash increase to 1.2gb script

i) will it create new partitions for cache and userdata

ii) or will it tried to find existing partitions (cache and userdata) and tries to modify them (if modifies then, as i don't have those what happens now?)

reply me as soon as you see it. as hopes came back again.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] freeshared:
Now as its clear that Cache and User data partitions are removed,Iam giving you a new script which will try to recreate them,flash it just like procedure used in OP.

[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] comomotos:
Hello, I tried to repartition to 1.2gb and now I can't flash any thing. Please I need HELP !

I did the steps 1, 2 and 3 of procedure, then I think I got some errors.

Then I did step 4, and got more error, but procedure say don't worry about error.

And then I tried the step 5, flash TWRW but flash was aborted.

Now I cant take any picture of screen. I'll do it later.

Someone can say me the problem?
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] freeshared:
-Errors don't occur in step 3 of procedure,if you have followed procedure as it is

-Mounting error occur in step 4(partitions fail to mount)and they can be ignored

-Now you're saying you can't flash recovery.

The procedure described in OP won't affect recovery partition,so there shouldn't be an issue for flashing new recovery.

-Let me explain

Redmi 1s has mmc(inbuilt sd card) divided in to 29 partitions.

Of these 27(system),28(cache),29(user data) are only touched and repartitioned by my script.(Recovery partition is 25)

1)Now to understand and provide any possible solution for your problem,I need partition table,like the one in previous post by other user saharathe100111(google and find out how to bring up partition table using computer)
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] comomotos:
Thank you for fast answering.

(First off all, I'm sorry for may bad english. I will try to express myself clearly)

Yes, errors occur in step 4, (but I also think some error occur in step 3)

I'm trying to attach some pictures of screen just finish booting philz recovery and trying to flash twrp, but I don't find the way to do this.

When I try to flash any zip (twrp, cm, miui, etc.. ) I receive the next message:

> E:failed to set up expected mounts for install; aborting

> E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

> E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

> E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

> E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

> E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install

> E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_install

> E:Installation aborted.

I have another problem, Now the phone doesn't boot.

Yesterday I flashed it with cm-14.1-20161218-NIGHTLY-armani.zip and the phone worked fine.

Then I saw this thread about increase system space, and then I tried to do it.

And now, when I turn on the phone, I get the CyanogenMod Logo running, but it never finishes booting.

How can I get the partitions form pc if phone wont boot?

It is posible with ADB? (I never had used it, but I think I could do)

I'm searching about this. Later I told you if I get the info about partitions.

Thank you again for your attention

Hello Guys! :good:

The phone is working again

I followed the guide indicated by sharathe100111, I flashed twrp with "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" and works ok.

but adb dont work, I get a mesage that say something like the aplication is terminated Ctrl+C.

Then I followed the step 6) of freeshared's guide and the next steps.

I flash a Miui rom so I skip step 11.

In the steps number, after de 11 goes 9? and 10?.

Now In TWRP, at Wipe partition options screen for /system, I get:

Size:1160MB

Used:629MB

Free:530MB

That is ok, is't it?

It means If you want to use f2fs format instead of ext4,You can leave "data" as f2fs and convert "cache" too to f2fs

or if you want to use ext4 format then you need to convert "data" again to ext4 format

[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] EmanzzKie:
Everything went smoothly, btw I use AICP 12.1 does installing OTAs affects the partiton? or do I need to do all the steps again?
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] freeshared:
-If you're referring to this file from OP

" 3)Reset to default partition_Official cm14.1"

Its for resetting Redmi 1s mmc partition table to default plus let's you to flash Official cm14 too along with other ROMs{you cannot flash Official cm14.1 using "2)Reset to default partition"}

You can flash either of these two,as per you requirement.

-But if you're referring to " Test zip" I have given to a member called Sharathee100111 in earlier posts.

No one should flash it.

I made it specially for solving his problem(he flashed a zip file from another source and got his data and cache partitions deleted)

If you follow procedure In OP carefully you won't run into such problems.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] freeshared:
-Does flashing AICP 12.1(full ROM during first flash) reduced system partition size like Cm 14.1 and needed to resize system partition?

a)If it did reduced system partition size,then OTA update too might reduce system size then you need to resize again and flash gapps anew.

b)If it didn't reduced system size, then OTA update too might not affect system size.
