I almost certainly sure that clean flashing lineageos 14.1 nightly from February with the assert codes removed from the updater-script file would work, but this isn't the usual way to update or flash a rom just like the flamingskull dude mentioned.

There is something wrong with my phone, but i tried clean flashing and everything that is on the first page from this thread and later from youtube videos.

This error: "Your device is corrupt.

It can't be trusted and may not work properly. Visit this link on another device: g.co/ABH (In RED)".

Doesn't matter, you can ignore it. It just shows that your device has a unlocked bootloader.

########################################################################

how can it be bricked? You are running stock on it?

##########################################################################

Could you explain this in detail:

When I'm using TWRP 3.0.2 it doesn't flash Lineage OS 14.1 Official ROM

#########################################################################

Did you only upgrade Twrp? Or did you use the upgrade.bat file to upgrade everything besides the rom?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] alexga01:
pijetri

Is it normal? Should it show me this?

I have unbricked the phone two times after that happened to me following the guide presented here in forums.

With TWRP 3.0.2 by wich I flashed Official CM13 I tried now to flash Lineage OS 14.1 but it gives me "error 7".

First time I tried to only upgrade TWRP. After that when I unbricked my phone I tried it with upgrade.bat file but nothing different.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] pijetri:
Pls help me

The flamingskull dude or someone else,

Could you or someone else help me troubleshoot this problem that i can't normally clean flash or dirty flash a lineagos 14.1 rom for the Z00A without getting the error 7 or cannot update on top of incompatible data. For clean flash i have to delete the assert codes and a dirty flash doesn't work even if i delete the assert codes.

I already updated the IFWI, Bootloader and recovery with the files from the flamingskull.com upgrade.bat file.

The first time i tried to clean flash i had deleted every partition besides the External Sd card, even then i had the error 7 while flashing. I also used the old twrp recovery 3.0.2

I had to clean flash the unusual way by deleting the assert codes.

If i try to do a ota update i get the error: the update check failed, check your internet connection and try again (obviously i am connected to the internet.

I am willing to give all the information to troubleshoot this problem and redoing al the steps to flash that i have already done.

---------- Post added at 05:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------

The verification error in the beginning is not a problem, it is just showing that you breached the warranty by unlocking the bootloader. Nothing else.

#########################################################################################

Oh man... you are in more deep **** than me. I am able to update the recovery and it is not bricked, i also got the error 7 while flashing but i had to remove the assert code from the update-script file to flash it. But know that this is not the usual way.

We are a little bit in the same boat, only when you upgrade the recovery via the upgrade.bat file or flashing the new twrp your phone is bricked.

Could you explain to me what you mean by bricked?

You say by using the upgrade.bat file it didn't make a difference, how did it not make a difference?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] alexga01:
pijetri

When I unlocked my phone a month earlier to flash CM13, it hasn't shown something like it. It is showing that you won't have warranty anymore when you're unlocking, but in this case if it shows it, every time I was trying to start the phone it was saying that. That's why I'm thinking it's not normal and it shouldn't be like that.

After upgrading TWRP my phone goes to NORMAL BOOT mode but after trying to enter RECOVERY MODE it was restarting and getting back to NORMAL BOOT mode. After POWER OFF and just starting phone to enter the system (the installed one, which before I haven't wiped - I only updated TWRP at that time) it again enters to NORMAL BOOT mode. So I was stuck to NORMAL BOOT mode - and that's what I'm calling BRICK.

I said that because after I tried to only flash new recovery.img and had to experience things which I mentioned above, I tried to upgrade with that bat file and it took me to that situation again. Now as I have guessed that upgrade is for bootloader (You should have MM bootloader) but after I got stock MM with that MM boatloader I don't need anymore. I just need new TWRP to flash LinOS but now I'm afraid that I will experience the same things.

The reason why I'm posting here is to know if someone has experienced that. And if showing the message about corrupted device is normal and seen by other fellows.

Can you tell me which TWRP have you got? Do you have Official 3.0.2 or the one uploaded here?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] pijetri:
Ok

With the previous bootloader unlocker files, needed for mm cm13, you only had a inverted screen.

You can restore the bootloader by using the recover file from the unlocker file folder. If you recovered it with

that file you would have the same as you are having right now, so no worries man :D.

##################################################################################################################

Ok now i know what you mean by bricked, you can't enter the recovery mode, btw i am using the twrp version 3.0.3.1-0

from the flamingskull website.

###############################################################################################################

So a short summary, your phone is in this state:

rom = Stock MM

recovery is installed but no access to it, you would return to normal boot mode.

I suggest trying to install all the newest files from the flamingskull website and try again, else cry for help lik

i am doing :D.

###############################################################################################################

Are you sure you are using the right files, could you post screenshots from the files you are using to upgrade twrp

the bootloader and etc?

About the 2nd SIM Card, you might be right! There is no option to adjust SIMs on this ROM.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] saggiboy231:
The 4g sim is working. The second sim which i use for calls is not detected.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] beamscotty:
Hate to point out that you are wrong. But if it can prevent people from installing Super SU for no reason, then it's a good thing.

Here's the deal: clean flashing LineageOS official does not include any root access, this is correct. Dirty flashing, via experimental, will leave you with limited root, ADB only. But, as pointed out in the OP, regardless, there is a root add on zip, from Lineage, that will give you full root acces exactly like it was before. Also available is a zip for removing root access, for those that just must play Pokemon Go (ugh!) or who have special apps that require safety net functions (no root binaries present) like banking apps, or corporate MDM platforms.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] persieghini:
he asked for apps... there's no root available for apps unless you flash add on... didn't mention adb sry :D
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] beamscotty:
He? That was me asking. The add on is not Super SU, thank goodness!
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] safirion:
Yes I can play ! I have the same problème as you before : crash on splashscreen but I factory reset again, flash LOS and GAPPS, install pokemon Go from play store and dirrectly launch it, it tell me that : https://heavyeditorial.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/screen-shot-2016-09-10-at-7-20-16-pm.jpg so I flash the root removal zip, reboot and it's ok, I can play as well :D
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] persieghini:
oops yes you... forgot to mention adb.. sorry <3
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] beamscotty:
Unrelated, but perhaps not: I see a lot of attempts to abbreviate LineageOS to lios, los, laos (that's a country, at least it was last time I went there). You do as you wish, personally and out of respect, I will not abbreviate but type it out. Come on, we are not that lazy that we can't type a few more letters, now are we? :)

When I follow unbrick guide and install very stock rom android 5.0 I can easily upgrade to MM. And yes now I have installed STOCK MM ROM provided by ASUS.

I have not installed recovery. If I install it, I am stuck in NORMAL BOOT mode.

I guess you are getting error 7, while flashing. The reality is that I am getting the same error. The deference between us is that you have backup and you can return to your system, but I have no backup and if I install TWRP and couldn't flash LinOS, I'm stuck and have to unbrick my phone.

Here they are...
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] pijetri:
Oh man, you are in deep **** bruhh.

If you can't install twrp, I shouldn't even try because you can't go back to the previous state.

Maybe it is possible to use clockworkmode recovery, i am thinking about it. Maybe it will fix the error 7 problem and for you the normal boot loop ****.

With normal boot you mean you are stuck at the fastboot mode screen? Because normal boot is the boot process by booting in to the rom you have currently installed.

I think that you should try to install recovery and see if it works. if it doesn't you can use the unbrick method. But the downside is that you have to completely have to reinstall your phone, i can clean flash the newest nightly and use titanium backup. I am very sorry for you but using the flamingskull files and flash the newest recovery manually (like i did a minute ago too see if the error 7 is gone) would be the only solution i can think of. But it won't deal with error 7 so you would still be stuck, just like me. Or you have to edit the updater-script file everytime to flash a lineageos rom.

Maybe we should wait for a custom rom based on lineageos that doesn't have error 7

In the meantime we must cry for help on forums, i totally feel you man..

My battery is dropping like hell in here after 02/08 nightly. Even with the KAM, 4k4 kernel & the profiles. Damn :(
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] pijetri:
I know there is a way to root your stock rom and use magisk or something to customise it, but the downside is you need a recovery software. I will try to look it up for you.

---------- Post added at 06:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 PM ----------

You can use the app "greenify" and use aggresive doze mode to let your phone hibernate faster and use wakelock notifications, you can also use amplify if you have magisk or xposed installed.

---------- Post added at 06:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:36 PM ----------

Is there someone else with "error 7" and solved it without removing the assert code?

Could you please help :D?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] venomranger:
I already have aggresive doze mode enabled but don't have wakelock notifications. I do have magisk, I'm gonna try ampilfy via magisk. UPDATE: Are you sure I can use amplify via magisk? I thought it had to be xposed only.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] pijetri:
I don't know, i thought that magisk is the same as xposed. If i am right you are using xposed if you are using magisk. Or am i wrong? Because xposed isn't released for Nougat yet, Xposed for Nougat will be released for summer so we have to wait :D.

Are you flashing ROM from micro sdcard or are you pushing ROM to internal storage and flashing from there?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] pijetri:
I am flashing from my external sd card, i can try to do it via my internal storage. But i don't think that would make a difference.

I am gonna open a new thread in the troubleshooting forum of the Z00A, hopefully someone comes with a solution to fix the error 7 message, i think it is a good idea you open a thread for you problem.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] alexga01:
pijetri

Also I am seeing this screen - see the attachment - after hitting "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img" command when I'm trying to go to recovery mode. Are you seeing this screen at all? or is it specific for me? Or are you normally going to recovery mode and then finding "error 7"?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] jrior001:
This is expected because we fail the signature verification on the new bootloader because its not an Asus signed boot/recovery image. Nothing we can do about it, and its harmless and annoying.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] alexga01:
jrior001

What should I do? I guess I have to stop trying flashing Lineage OS at that time.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] pijetri:
I am also seeing this error, seriously man you don't have to worry about this message. Every time my phone boots i see this error and my phone is doing fine. Everyone has this message if you use the bootloader upgrade file from the flamingskull dude or the earlier unlocker files from the developers i don't know.

THE ONLY THINGS WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IS YOUR FASTBOOT MODE LOOP after flashing twrp AND THE ERROR 7 during clean / dirty flashing lineageos 14.

---------- Post added at 07:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------

The flamingskull dude says it is "harmless", so there is nothing wrong with that error message. He is the fking developer himself that assures you. Just let it go man :cool:.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] jrior001:
That message isn't stopping you from doing anything, wait 10 seconds and device will boot like normal.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] pijetri:
Did you manage to access recovery after flashing twrp?

if that succeeded you can make a full back from every partition that exists, so you can recover the actual state your phone has now and you can flash anything you want.

tried to install latest nightly

I think I was previously on experimental

what can be done?

Where did you get this TWRP image?

If it is the last one built by say99, you should not be flashing like this, he explained that it was unsigned (if I remember correctly) and the process of signing occurs while flashing the zip with the old TWRP. And for manually flashing you should do this signing process manually too

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] alexga01:
1. Yes I can access recovery but I find the same error as you.

2. You can restore data from sdcard and me not :D thats the problem for me. That's why I have to unbrick it when I am stuck.

Please let me know if you could flash LinOS and I will try then. I am tired by unbricking it.

If I get any further information I will also let you know.

Overall we got the very same problem.

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] JuniorBR790:
I believe you can flash it with any TWRP recovery.

And. Just for checking, I am talking about the: TWRP_3.0.3.2_Zenfone2.zip

Just go to recovery and flash the downloaded zip that has this name.

If you can't get to recovery. Try to fastboot the OLD TWRP back, then go to recover and follow the flashing of the new one.

Volume down???

You have to hold the volume up button before booting, you know that right? After holding the volume up button you will enter fastboot mode, in fastboot mode you can change the mode you want to boot in with the volume buttons. When you have normal boot mode, you press the power button to boot in to the rom / system.

You can do it yourself actually by underclocking the cpu, to 1800 mhz or lower or so

Or edit the throttle to your heart desire. Gotta lot of patience bro :)

Keep in mind, we are not in a state of build where battery is not optimized yet which also affects normal usage temperature, and our phone uses the same CPU that powers a freakin notebook :) with no cooling fan
