I've seen devs drop phone support just because people wouldn't stop asking about a new version directly or indirectly.

Jason was thinking about letting this phone die in N, so threading carefully is something to keep in mind.

Sorry about trying to impose something. Got carried away.

I install today build and it boots always on recovery.

It is happen only to me?

---------- Post added at 22:59 ---------- Previous post was at 22:23 ----------

At this moment I can not get out of recovery ...

All boots end on recovery regardless of the rom that I flashed ... with restore of backup's happens the same

Any suggestion?

After update my Twrp to 3.1.1 i manage to restore a backup...

But every time i try to update for last build it boot´s on recovery....
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Safal Oraon:
flashing/installing new update via recovery (without wiping existing rom). Just Google it you will get the answer.

Has anyone successfully installed 8th Sep build?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Cvk vamsi krishna:
Update through ota?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] filipe_m:
When i update trough ota: the build is downloaded, reboot on recovery and nothing more happens (stay´s on "recovery first page")

When i manually update: the build zip is flashed to the end but when is almost finish give me 2 error´s, something like: "command not recognized". When i reboot always back to recovery...
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Safal Oraon:
Successful instated 8th Sep 2017 build, no issues till now !

Hoping for lineageos 15.0 !
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] KwongTN:
Previously I encountered this problem, flash recovery to the one provided by dev and it's done.

Alternatively,

(Copied from the XOSP forum, don't know if it works or not.)

Try setting XElinux to permissive in TWRP.

Of course, backup before you begin.

Thanks for your reply. I got it now. Is it the same thing for the latest build(9/8/17)? or do I need to wipe everything except SD Card before flashing it

Thanks in advance for your replies!

How did you flash latest build? Clean wipe ? or did you over ride the previous build?

Thanks for sharing your experience!

i've installed su and gapps mini

all in one go

phone seems to work so far ok except i can't set root for any apps (ES File Explorer/Total Commander/X-plore) although i set it to allow root to apps and adb. There is no pop-up window to grant access to root. All these apps failed with no root access.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Arerive:

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] loganj:
Everything works except the root. I'll try the new root.

I'm not so sure about magisk. Do i need to uninstall it with every update of lineageos as it is needed for asus fw?

Edit: How do i remove the su that ive already installed?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Arerive:
download uninstaller at official website. for me when i update i remove magisk first then update and install it back. i use magisk from kapil tapsi thread

A very big thanks. Have nice day.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] KwongTN:
I'm using magisk 14. And no I did not uninstall magisk before updating. It seems that magisk will auto reinstall.

After the auto reinstall, I used Verified Boot Signer to resign the boot image (in other words, install the zip attached in this post) so that it does not go into a boot loop.

If you want to replace your su with magisk, just install it on top.

If you just want to remove, the remover at LineageOS website will do.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] loganj:
ok,

I've manage to root it.

So far everything works.

I hope it has no problem from now on also

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] neosinan:
Newbie here, I have August 4th weekly, can I just dirty flash any later version via Twrp(with full version from lineage website)? And should I flash gapps after that?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Talionator:
So.. xposed(official/unofficial) work with latest lineage version?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] KwongTN:
Not for me, even the magisk version does not work.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] Safal Oraon:
yes ! You can dirty flash.

But no need to flash gapps because gapps gets updated automatically once flashed, no need to update via flash unless a big update such as updating from Android 6 to Android 7 or Android 7 to 8 is to be done or unless the Rom developer/maintainer suggest to do so.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] KwongTN:
Sure! But take note not to flash Sept1 version, has a few bugs that can cause loops.

Gapps... Depends. I like my software updated, so I'll flash a new version each week following the update. Back when I was free I update it everyday ?

Hey guys I need help.

I have a SanDisk class 10 32gb SD card.

It ised to work fine with this ROM until one day during copying it suddenly stopped working. The rom had started acting all ****ed up too.

So I clean flashed the rom again and I have used Android(shows corrupt even after format completion), aparted(failed), twrp(failed), windows to format the sd card in fat32. Lbut the Damm phone always show it as corrupt. Even my twrp recovery doesn't read the card porperly.I have another samsung sd card but that one works on my z00a

The SD card runs fine on another Zenfone 3 in my home. It shows corrupt in another Lenovo phone. It also works fine on windows 10. WTF is up with this card????! What should I do?

You shouldn't even do that. Just flash the build and done!
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] BaduX:
Thankyou..

So i shouldn't do that, i always do that because thats what i thought as dirty flash :laugh:
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] KwongTN:
Not really sure what you're saying, but i guess there's a high possibility of the slot being broken.

The corrupt can also mean an unsupported filesystem or broken index. Try formatting in FAT32?
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] abbsshikari:
okay i'll give it all in pointers:

1. My room is alright. That was and autocorrect **** up

2.My Sandisk sd card works in my zenfone 3 smartphone. But in zenfone 2 and another lenovo k5, it shows up as corrupt.

3. I tried to format it in fat32 using TWRP(success but twrp itself doesn't detect the card even after. It just shows it as 0mb free 0mb used vfat format.)

4. I tried basic android sd card format in nougat which completes without problems but again shows the sd card as corrupt.

5.i tried aparted but it fails everytime.

6. Slot can't be damaged because my other samsung sd card works fine with my zenfone 2.

7.pls help :p
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] neosinan:

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] abbsshikari:

THX for helping me :)
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] abbsshikari:
the latest version is as stable as any others

have not encountered a single bug. Battery is great. Performance is noticeably better than stock. i would go as far as to say it's even more stable than the last official CM 13. CM 13 had random app crash and freezes. This one doesn't. Go for it. Much better than stock.
[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] J@ckr@bbit19:
Just go for it bro!

Been running 14.1 builds right from the beginning, updated each and every build through OTA (weekly), never had major bugs or issues so far, also never switched to other custom ROMs because this is the best & stable ROM for ZF2!

Happy flashing ![emoji2]

I was able to install it but it was not a friendly installation... After the download completed, the phone rebooted as usual but something went wrong during the installation and the phone got stuck on the Asus logo. I tried to reinstall the previous nightly but this time the phone was always crashing at start at the end of the assistant, preventing me to use the phone at all. Wiping everything dit not change anything so I did it the long way. I downloaded the 8th september version from internet, downloaded the matching Pico gapps, put everything on the SD card and installed everything from scratch through twrp... Which finally worked.

Hello there, guys. I have zenfone 2(1080) and I have lineageos installed. I saw a notification of update to linegeos 9/15/17 and I tried to update... I got boot-to-recovery. Ok, after that I downloaded the last build from download.lineageos.org and tried to install manually, also I wiped cache and data. And now I have bootloop. I tried to install prev-last version but I have same trouble. Any ideas?

P.S. I had installed magisk. And is it important if I have installed gapps?

P.S.S I have twrp 3.0.3 M4

Fixed!

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] KwongTN:
Regarding this, does opening apps, then it displaying blank / white lines around the screen count?

One of the ways to defreeze the phone is to imagine a status bar then pulling it down. Or to switch to multitask view or just go home.

Cause I've been encountering this since the start of me using LineageOS. (Which btw is 11/8)

Latest build this happens on Android Auto, Messenger games and Google Drive PDF viewer.

Last build does not happen on Android Auto.

No SIM card detected

Hello guys,

I have tried searching the forum bud did not find a solution. This is what I did on my Zenfone 2 ZE551ML Z00AD

1. Unlocked bootloader

2. Installed TWRP

3. Backup original FW (latest version updated OTA)

4. Flashed lineage-14.1-20170908-nightly-Z00A-signed.zip, gapps and addonsu-14.1-x86-signed.zip

5. Boot up, setup everything, everything worked great except for root

6. Installed addonsu-14.1-x86-silvermont.zip, everything worked great

7. Did OTA upgrade to 20170915, everything worked great, both simcards detected, mobile data LTE full speed, blazing fast

----

Now I forgot some data in the backup and did not succeed in extracting it from the backup, so I followed

----

8. TWRP Restore the original backup, (I have left all the option selected, i.e. System, Data excl. storage, Boot, Splash)

9. Boot to original system, saved the forgotten data to the cloud

8. TWRP Wipe Dalvik Cache, System

9. TWRP flashed lineage-14.1-20170915-nightly-Z00A-signed.zip, gapps, addonsu-14.1-x86-silvermont.zip

10. Boot phone and now - now SIM card detected.

I have tried restarting, doing factory resets, dirty flashing both 20170908 and 20170915 versions, full wipe and flashing both, physically reinserting the sim cards, nothing worked. So after a few hours of googling, I did:

11. Restore the original backup, boot the phone

Everything works as expected, SIM cards are detected, LTE data work, phone calls are OK. Just I am not in LineageOS, Nougat but back in Marshmallow ZEN UI.

I should have made a full backup of the working install of LineageOS, but I did not have enough free space on the SIM card, so I thought that by flashing I can repeat the successful installation.

What did I do wrong? I would love to return to LineageOS. How can I flash now so that the SIM cards would work?

All help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Finally I did manage to get it working, although I am not sure how ... Just a trial & error method ...

1. Found the link to the two boot.images in the forum - https://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/orig...4-1-weekly-t3545692/post71171327#post71171327

2. Flashed the first image - this gave me only SIM2 working and no therefore data

3. Flashed the second image (permissive?) - this gave me bootloop

4. Flashed the previous nightly image: lineage-14.1-20170908-nightly-Z00A-signed.zip and now everything works.

I must say that I am really puzzled. It seems that directly flashing the 20170915 image disabled the radio and it got restored only by flashing the boot image, mainly the permissive image and flashing the 20170908 image.

Is it possible? Or am I missing something?

Sorry for long posts ....

[ZenFone 2 Original Android Development] KwongTN:
Before I came to LineageOS, I encountered the same thing as you, but it's on ZE550ML.

After resolving it, I got a few conclusions, not sure which is the correct one. I changed a few variables during my flashing:

1. The problem is on the recovery. So I used the recovery included in the post, TWRP 3.0.3M4.

2. Bootloader unlocking on MM Stock does not work. So I went to LP using Asus flasher, then unlocked the bootloader there. After that I unlocked the bootloader, upgraded the bootloader to MM and flashed TWRP. Then I went to LineageOS.

Cheerios!
