Broadly speaking, because of the way the Android Security Patch date works, it can only tell you conclusively about patches that have been applied to the device-independent portions of the Android operating system. Any vulnerabilities that exist in portions of the operating system that are unique to a particular device (such as the Linux kernel, or the proprietary device driver binaries) may still exist, and you wouldn't be able to tell just by the security patch level.

Now, if we were talking about a build of Android released by the device's original manufacturer, it's (usually) safe to assume that they also applied the kernel and proprietary binary fixes. But when it comes to builds from other sources, you can't take it for granted.

For the BlueBorne vulnerability, there are at least 4 distinct Android vulnerabilities that were grouped together under the same headline. Three of them were in software that is shared in the device-independent common Android source code, and their fix was automatically applied to every device with a September 2017 (or newer) security patch date.

The fourth vulnerability is inside the Linux kernel. Every Android device (generally speaking) has its own unique kernel, and the patch for the last vulnerability needs to be applied individually to each kernel. It's this fourth patch that will be available to us this Friday.

It's possible that the Vulnerability Scanner might be capable of yielding false negatives. Since we're talking about a buffer overflow attack in the kernel here, the vulnerability detector might be attempting to test the flaw by injecting ARM assembly code (since it would be applicable to the vast majority of Android devices) - and that definitely wouldn't work in an x86 device like the Zenfone 2.

what need install to root my zenfone 2 again? thanks
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] TheDarkgg:
Download and install via TWRP (flash) the addonsu package.

(choose the x86 version for Z00A/Z008 )

addonsu-14.1-x86-signed.zip

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] jrior001:
Fixed in this weeks build

This is one of 4 patches, the others were already included

That scanner app is dumb, it literally only checks the security level patch prop. You can literally just change the prop and get that to pass.

Very solid explanation you are correct on this. Also see above comment on the "scanner app" lol.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] hnsaba:
It seems that I found the root of the problem! I disabled all the GAPPS installed by flashing pico opengapps-v.20170908 and now after 20 hours, there is no sign of freeze/lockup! Even by turning AIRPLANE mode on/off even when the wifi/Cellular is on/off!

It is interesting that by GAPPS enabled, the flash light could not be turned on/off via status pull down menu! Now with GAPPS disabled, it can be done!

What should I do now? Is there any old version of GAPPS which can be flashed and does not make the phone unstable?

Regards
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] pedro1977:
Ensure you haven't installed an old version of SuperSU, this will also cause similar problems. Try clean flashing gapps.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] cas_aron03:
thank you sir, now my phone is rooted after flashing...

another problem incoming call the screen is off (black) and i cannot receive even using power buttons

How is this rom for using as a daily driver? Can I have some input? Is there any place where I can find user reviews?

Thanks in advance.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] gervil:
I've been using this daily for more than half a year. Updated weekly, no major issues.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] deathhilarious:
Stable, fast, with all the security and usability enhancements of LineageOS.

Only negative I've come across is that ASUS official camera app doesn't work with this build (I think, been a while since I checked). The generic camera app works but pictures seem washed out. I use Camera fx and it works as well as the ASUS app as far as I can tell. The camera on this phone was never something to write home about.

Other minor things that don't work are listed in the first post (e.g. FM radio doesn't work).

Overall it's a great ROM, and definitely recommend it over the bloated stock ROM. If you need to stretch out your battery, you might look into a battery enhancing kernel like holo.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Search&Destroy:
The ASUS Camera App works (no green lines in pictures and blocked cam until restart), if u disable optimization in settings.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] hnsaba:
I have NOT installed any SuperSU or other similar apps to root my device. Also clean flash of GAPPS and/or ROM did not make any change.

I'm using LineageOS with Holo kernel.

After WiFi disconnects, I can hardly get mobile data working (I turn on/off mobile data for like hundred times to get it working)

I don't know if this problem persists without Holo kernel.

Anyone know what is wrong or how to fix it?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] beamscotty:
ASUS Pixelmaster camera works and has since the beginning of history, with the known caveat that you must turn off optimisation. Also, it won't let you save to SD card, unless you make it a system app.

FM radio is not supported and never will be due to proprietary hardware drivers.

All this has been talked about again and over again. It is also noted under known issues on the first page. The search function can be a tremendous help, as called out countless times in this forum. Let me quote the head dev, jrior001, from the very first page: "You've utilized the search function of the forums. Nothing irritates me more than lazy people who do not search for an answer before asking or ask the same question over and over again."
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Cvk vamsi krishna:
No problem with stock kernel,

Try without holo.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Safal Oraon:
Can you help me out with latest version of pixelMaster cashers 4.0 to work with, I can't find optimization setting. This version has better UI & Control as compared to its earlier counterparts.

Thanks in advance.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] beamscotty:
The current version of Pixelmaster camera for Zenfone 2 (with Intel CPU) is 2.0.66.0 from June 2016 AFIK. What Pixelmaster camera are you referring to?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Safal Oraon:
I'm not talking about the one available at play store.

I was able to use pixelMaster cashers version 3.0.xxx available at xda forum and /or at apkMirror.

I'm taking about the latest pixelMaster camera version 4.0.xxx available at apkMirror (it is for Android 7 and up)!!!

Hi guys, i've just installed LOS and planned to update it in the future, i have Holo Kernel, Magisk 14 installed, can i just dirty flash the zip from LOS download page or i need to uninstall Magisk then reflash it later, and will Holo cause any problem with the update?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] KwongTN:
For me I just dirty flash updates and flash VerifiedBootSigner.

Nope, no problem with holo till now

Is this ROM good for Zenfone 2 Zoom Zx551ml Z00A?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] hnsaba:
Again, I could reproduce freeze/lockup after turning airplane mode on/off when wifi/cellular data is active (The problem is now narrowed down to this scenario). Thus I clean flashed the rom 20170922 with NO GAPPS and NO SU.

The problem still can be reproduced sometimes! not always. When you turn airplane mode on/off specially when wifi/cellular data is active, the screen freezes for a few seconds (up to 20 - 30 seconds). But sometimes the devices hangs in this state and you have to pres the power button until device powers off and then turn it ON again.

I attached logs produced with SysLog app before and after airplane mode.

Any advice will be appreciated.

regards.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Huikhor99:

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] deathhilarious:
Similar for me. Dirty flash (with magisk) resulted in error 7 bootloop. Reflashed wiping delvik/cache (with magisk flash) and it worked fine.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] hnsaba:
Already done! No change.

You misunderstood. I have NOT installed and will not install GAPPS at all to narrow down the test field.

Anyway, I clean flashed 20171002 build withOUT GAPPS and any type of SU and will check for the freeze/lockup/hang problem persistence (on airplane mode trigger) on the new build. Will report the result.

thanks all.

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] surasitkan:
Since early of September I didn't update Lineage 14.1 because I have update last on September 01 and then our Z00A loop for boot logo and then I have flash for version 14.1-20170825 (August, 25). And I afraid that will happen as the last time that look like need to do dirty flash but I never do for dirty flash.

Now if I would like to update to current revision,

1. Do we need to upgrade step by step (Sep,01 => Sep,07 ==> Sep, 15 ==>Sep, 22 ==> Oct, 02)?

2. Do we need to do dirty flash? If yes, please help to advice for detail.

3. If we can upgrade only for current revision (Oct, 02), Do we need to download on Z00A for Lineage OS updates or we need to download and save in SD card and then flash zip file? Please help to advice.

Because I am new for flash custom ROM please help to advice.

Thank you.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] KwongTN:
No.

Your choice.

Personally I would prefer flashing the zip file, cause I don't like the updater ?

Cheers!
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] surasitkan:
Thank you very much for your suggestion, but I have one more question. Before flash zip file, do we need to wipe Dalvik/ART Cache and Cache or need to wipe other too? Please help to advice.

Thank you.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] KwongTN:
I would prefer wiping them. Many builds previously I did not wipe when system / system app installs were done, so what I ended up was with a laggy system that constantly crashes.

Since then I always wipe cache and dalvik :D
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] surasitkan:
Thank you very much for your suggestion :D
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] sushuguru:
In case you wonder, i did not wipe anything, just dirty flashed, everything works fine, but yeah, like KwongTN said, it's highly recommended you to do so.

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] nutcasev1.5:
You could try to tune the kernel. In any case, this device doesn't have a Gpu powerful enough to run the latest and greatest games at high settings. It's better to run at medium or low.

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] stork321:
can we have a chance of getting a 64-bit OS?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] JBolho:
How about using KAM and tuning the settings? I have the 1.8ghz model and i don't even need more than 1.75ghz to play everything. Your stutter has a reason: minimum GPU speed and badly optimized game.

Use these settings for gaming: CPU min - 500, CPU max 1750, GPU min 457, max 533.

The reason heavier games seem to run better on stock is simply because stock doesn't have under-clock and uses the GPU's stock clocks.

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] zam3da:
thanks my man. Very helpful :good: because i dont even to try change the minimum freq on cpu ans gpu :laugh:
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] C-Ph87:
No need to reflash the ROM.

Inside the zip there's a 'boot.img' file, just flash it then reflash magisk (magisk signed or Magisk + bootsigner) if you use it.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] JBolho:
Games push the CPU and GPU differently, and even the more demanding ones don't push the system to a performance-like state all the time. Holo has GPU min frequency of 200mhz and CPU min of 333 to allow for better battery. If the game has many variations in performance demand, frequencies will fall to these minimums or close to them, and that will cause lag if we're talking about demanding games like Vainglory. By setting the minimums to the stock frequencies (500 on CPU and 457 on GPU) the game will run smoothly. And by capping the max CPU frequency to something like 1750 like i do, you will prevent the device from overheating, thus preventing thermal throttling which affects performance as well.

Phone fell-screen cracked- went to local repair for replacement sice service center is expensive- got it replaced - 3/4 of the screen glitches and has vertical lines(severity of issue varies)- local repair refuses to replace( no warranty)- read online that it is a firmware issue that arrived a long time ago with some asus update that changed the boot.img and other files, and only affected a certain number of devices- the issue described by others awfully matches my condition-i know how to use asus raw flash tool and xfstk. The problem is asus flash tool is unreliable and i want to use fastboot commands(done it before). But at that time i used a firmware with .img format. The ones available on asus website are zips. What i'm trying to ask is, how do i clean my zenfone 2 slate completely clean and indtall an old firmware in zip format( after i am done using xfstk.

possibly something is wrong with your work wi-fi.

Try to scan nearby networks to see if there's any network with a strong signal using the same channel or 2 channels next (above or below) your current channel.
