[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShanM:
You should have the S-OFF your phone to gain access. So far i know, Root your mobile using twrp recovery then try.

your workflow should be as below:

Unlock bootloader (htcdev.com)

ROOT your mobile (try twrp.com will guide you with many links and downloadables)

S-OFF (To have full control on ur device, but it's a hard part and a paid service of $25 with

Sunshine (install sunshine app from play store to have complete inspection weather is

possible to S-Off ur device or not, then only you need to pay. if not capable no need to pay)).

let me know if you have any questions.

I tried upgrading to 7.1, and have tried 3 different ROM's. I even tried going back to 6. Every single ROM told me error code 7 when I tried to flash it. I went about fixing that. So then I was able to flash the ROM and GApps. But then when it goes to boot into the OS all it does is hang on the white Asus screen, reboot, and go back to the white Asus screen. It does that 3 times then goes into recovery. I even tried fixing it with ZE551ML_Modder V3.3. I am running TWRP-3.0.2-0-Z00A.img. This is a Z00A as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordpipa:
Did you upgraded the bootloader? I would just retrace steps, if not factory reset and try again.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaed.43725:
The bootloader is the recovery right? (At least thats what I always thought). If so then I am running the newest TWRP for it.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordpipa:

Upgrade your bootloader following the instructions on the .zip package.

This will upgrade your bootloader and flash a compatible TWRP recovery.

I did all that. Now I am stuck with CM Recovery. I tried using the tool to get TWRP back but its not working. I have to figure out how to push TWRP using ADB.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timbernot:
In modder, return to stock option , flash stock recovery and boot img.

Unlock bootloader in modder, just incase.

Flash twrp, root in modder ..reboot to twrp...install 7.1 and pico gapps
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaed.43725:
I finally had to go to Ubuntu, run ADB as SU and ADB Sideload an older version of Cyanogenmod. Not a single factory image would work. And not a single one of those Android 7 ROM's would work. They are all broken. I would like to see real proof of one working. That little escapade cost me a lot of time. So until someone comes out with a real CM14 version for the Z00A do not attempt to boot one.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timbernot:
You may have really misunderstood the processes and yes they are allover the place.

i am running CM14.1 lots of people are !

What you probobaly have is LP based CM 13 on WW-4.20 blah blah.165

Then there was a CM13 with MM blobs based on WW-4.21 blah blah .135 MM

I think where you have gone wrong is not unlocking bootloader in 5 LP and upgrading bootloader and unlocking.

if you are on .165 - you could flash stock recovery for .165 -- upgrade to .184 -- unlock bootloader and upgrade to MM then unlock bootloader in MM with modder

Then use the modder to install 7.1 14.1 CM ;)

But judging by the probs you have haD already - just leave it alone :good:
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaed.43725:
What is WW?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timbernot:
WW is world wide

CN china

relating to stock FW from official site .

You know what you are doing re using ubuntu to adb but have the procedure all messed up.

Would you like to get to MM and 7.1 CM14.1 and have a windows PC ? ?

Today, AOKP released their first Nougat build for our Shamu!

EDIT: Was confirmed that it was a mistake and Nougat isn't yet being made for our shamu, false alarm.

Been soooo long since I've ran an AOKP build.

[Nexus 6  General] H4X0R46:

[Nexus 6  General] H4X0R46:
Well the link was labeled Nougat, guess it wasn't.
[Nexus 6  General] H4X0R46:
It's still there, at the very bottom of the page. Guess it's not actually Nougat when you flash it though.
[Nexus 6  General] zidave:
Confirmed is not a Nougat build. I posted on their G+ page and one of the devs said it was a mistake and removed it. He also said it's not being built "yet"

I LOVED Aokp ... all I ran on my N4 until they stopped..... I MAY try it... but I finally found a perfect stable ROM at the moment that has SMartBar. AOKP was the first one I found that I could edit Navigation bar .... can't have it any other way now.

After Failing over and over, I finally was able to flash the latest NOUGAT Update provided in the other thread:

http://xdaforums.com/moto-z/how-to/android-7-international-rollout-t3510790

Download the update.zip file "Blur_Version.24.21.46.griffin.retail.en.US.zip" from one of the posts

Main issue for me was i was on the wrong firmware, simple flash the "XT1650-03_GRIFFIN_ROGERS_MPL24.246-45_cid50_subsidy-RGRCA_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml" firmware by grabbing it from

http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27/?sort=created&order=DESC&show=25

Notice you need the MPL24.246-45 FIRMWARE , the number 45 plays a major role as it will be verified later. I was running the buildnumber MPL24.246-20 instead of 40

once you get that out of the way and are done flashing the MPL24.246-40 firmware, simply adb sideload the Blur_Version.24.21.46.griffin.retail.en.US.zip from your computer, reboot in stock recovery and then hold power and then press volume up and choose the option adb sideload

My sideload failed at 95%, however when i rebooted, it was running nougat :D

let me know how it goes for you guys :)

My bootloader is unlocked, and i did not relock it

if u flashed 24.246-45 then u said it needs to be 40

then did u flash the 40 over 45 ?

This is really helpful. I hit the same snag when I tried to upgrade from -17 firmware.

Any chance you could upload the Canadian Rogers firmware (-45) to Mega? It's so painful waiting for 9 hours for it to fail a few minutes from the end.

Yeah I can try, but I won't be home until night, the only pain was waiting 9 hours, and the firmware is -45, I accidently wrote -40 , I don't think there is any firmware with-40

I flashed XT1650-03_GRIFFIN_ROGERS_MPL24.246-45 via this method:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69065373&postcount=14

And while the flash was successful, strangely booting into the OS I'm still on -20.

So then I tried to sideload nougat, and it went up to 87% and failed, causing a bootloop. The bootloop can be fixed by manually flashing -45 again (which is so weird because it actually loads -20). :confused: :confused:

I am unrooted, bootloader locked.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Prfndhatrdofman:
You got further than me. ADB Sideload wouldnt even look at the Nougat OTA zip. tried multiple ADB versions too
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Prfndhatrdofman:
Sideload was successful for me, but still completely in a bootloop as well..
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] varun.gid:
for me it worked fine with ADB sideload.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] hassanman1997:
my bootloader is unlocked, i tried locking it back to get official OTA but failed to lock it again.

I tried every method that was mentioned but failed over and over

so here is what I did:

1) removed all the personal files from phone (pictures, videos, texts etc) so i don't lose em

2) flashed the rogers [XT1650-03_GRIFFIN_ROGERS_MPL24.246-45_cid50_subsidy-RGRCA_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml] firmware by using mfastboot, make sure you grab the mfastbootv2, you can google and download it, use mfastboot and flash the firmware by command lines

3)after flashing, rebooted, set up the device and skipping a few steps to get into homescreen, and then powered off the phone.

4)downloaded Blur_Version.24.21.46.griffin.retail.en.US.zip and placed it in the adb folder, make sure you download the latest adb tools, you can google and find them easily too

5) extract the adb folder and place the Blur_Version.24.21.46.griffin.retail.en.US.zip in side that folder

6) reboot the phone and press volume to navigate to recovery, you should boot into stock recovery as you flashed stock firmware

7) hold power button and press volume up and youll see the menu, select update by ota and connect to the phone

8) open command line in the adb tools and use command to flash ota via adb

9) mine failed at 95% because of system image error, so instead of rebooting it, i used the command again and flashed the ota via adb, it failed again, however when i rebooted i was presented by the new red moto boot animation, there i knew it was updated to android N :)

[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] gomisensei:
OK, so i got it working. But there were some difficulties.

I was on 24.246-45 already, but i installed TWRP and a custom kernel. I reflashed the recovery and boot from the BELL 24.246.45 firmware, and proceeded sideloading the update. It errored out, saying system was mounted r/w once (after I installed TWRP, but I never altered it beyond that).

So i flashed the system chunks from the firmware ( "mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0" , "mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1" etc.), then i retried the sideload, and it worked. The system information still says the build number is MPL24.246-45, but the android version is 7.0, everything seems to be working, including split screen, the new easter egg, quicklaunch ribbon, and new notifications.

[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] pieman13:
tried flashing the rodgers but I'm facing an interesting problem. If I ask adb to list devices while the phone is regular boot, It sees it and will reboot to bootloader, the second it does that, adb will not recognize the phone...
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] i23u8:
Boot to bootloader. Use rsd to flash the rogers firmware. Boot atleast once. Then boot to stock recovery. select adb sideload. Then follow the command given to sideload the nougat firmware. Optional, you can boot to twrp and install root zip.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] pieman13:
I can't because USB debugging keeps turning itself off each reboot. So when I go into bootloader, it turns off.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] i23u8:
I got confused and tried it on my laptop and device because I thought fastboot isn't supposed to allow adb as it is another interface. Below is from another xda forum here:

So when I booted to fastboot, it detected the "Motorola ADB Interface" but showed "Fastboot Sheridan S" as the installed device. Putting ADB Devices on the cmd prompt and it list no device. Booting to recovery mode does provide adb access and lists the device perfectly.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] pieman13:
I can see it not but it keeps saying can read update.zip....I'm so close.sing minimal adb for the record.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] pieman13:
Just noticed when its normal booted and connected it shows as "motorola adb interface" in device manager. If I boot to the bootloader it shows as the same. When I enter recovery it comes up as "lemobile anndroid device" and if I open it it says "android adb recovery interface"

Assuming I have some sort of a driver issue?
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] i23u8:
Yes I think you have driver issues with the lemobile android device as I see it differently (xt1650).
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] pieman13:
Could someone point me to the proper drivers?
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Aingaran:
Download motorola drivers from moto site and install it. (make sure that Motorola driver is being used for your device,by checking the driver for your device in device manager.) for adb and fastboot , Google's Android SDK's work fine..
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] pieman13:
Did that, still shows as lemobile device in device manager but only in recovery....I'm done. I'll just flash back to us stock and wait for the ota...

[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Repairtech123:
I have this exact problem. Also if I try to push to the phone it says closed. I got the firmware to 24.21.46, but I am stuck on this error trying to sideload update. I have no option to do an OTA. I made sure and renamed the file to update also with no extra .zip, so I know it is tyed correctly, in the right folder, and I can see the phones under adb devices when typed.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] i23u8:
I havent tried it but can you copy the zip to your phone and load it thru update.zip
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] Repairtech123:

Internal and external memory cannot be mounted installation aborted. I tried mounting system too. Phone works but Wifi was taken out too with the firmware update!
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] i23u8:
What BL version do you have? Maybe you are still on MM and that is why wifi isnt working hence you can reflash stock MM.
