[Asus ZenFone 3 Ultra Questions & Answers] AWFRONT:
UPDATE:

I have now installed the manual update for Android 7.0 and this helped to resolve some of the issues:

-I can now make and receive calls fully with voice enabled

-Bootloader updated from 1.26 to 3.11

BUT:

-Fingerprint Recognition still not working

-Device serial number still shows as 111111111111111

-Device shows as encrypted- could this be the cause and how?

If anyone has any suggestions please assist.

MY ORIGINAL POST RE ISSUES:

Following release of Android 7 for ZF3U, I updated and then wanted to unlock the bootloader and carry out root. All went fine but now after unlocking the bootloader and root I have a major problem. My ZF3U does not show the correct device serial number in the initial setup wizard and in about phone section of settings. All I get is "111111111111111". Secondly, whilst all other functions are working fine, I can no longer hear the sound of any made or received phone calls.

I also tried to use the ASUS Flash Tool to reinstall the firmware but could not and at one point I saw a message stating that the device was being encrypted . I have no idea what implications this has but I my phone does not allow use of internal speakers or microphone for the other side to hear me. It appears that the serial number issue started with my use of the Asus Flash Tool. I am also not sure if this encryption issue caused the issue as it may have locked certain parts of the device.

Also, as a result I am unable to set the fingerprint recognition in initial setup or after setup. Pin code, pattern etc can be setup but not fingerprint security.

Tried to use TWRP to reinstall the firmware. All installs fine but the problem is still there. I pressed the decrypta button inside TWRP settings but still no fix. Also, did all the usual wipes etc.... still no fix. I don't know what to do. I now wish I had not played around with the phone and simply used it as it was. With the bootloader unlocked no Android 7 anymore until manual firmware becomes available. My device serial number still shows as "111111111111111" but when I launch the fastboot/recovery mode I do see the correct serial number but the device boots to UI with the incorrect serial number. My theory is that the Asus Flash Tool caused the problem but I am not sure how.

Also if anyone has the original factory boot.img and other relevant .img files for me to fix the bootloader in case this is the problem thatI would be very appreciated. Also, I have read that the .raw firmware files for this device could fix the problem but not sure and the files cannot be found anywhere online.

I also by removed the root and did a fresh install of the previous firmware Android 6.0 and the problems still exist. I am not sure if the downgrade from Android 7 could have caused these problems too but I am trying to pinpoint the problem somehow. So if anyone has a full manual .Raw or normal .zip version of the Android 7.0 firmware then please provide a download link. If all fails then I would have to see if I could get Asus to fix it for me.

All suggestions and workarounds desperately welcome. Thanks.

[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] zyvex_14:
On my side, I just installed as well and I won't judge it as crap version so fast.

Give me 1-2 days to test and will give you my feedback.

Quick 1st overview:

Same as for the other ROMs, vibration is now working but no blinking LED.

Otherwise no chinese apps installed :)
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] flyfire04:
I've rolled back to the unofficial mokee rom aswell. audio didn't work for me. the camera was bad and the utouch was not usable compared to the unofficial version. I get that it's experimental. I hope to use it when it's stable.

Edit: There is an update with nightly status. did anyone check for bugs? ;)
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dikon:
Has anybody tried the latest nightly (MK71.1-z2pro-201704051639-NIGHTLY.zip)?
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mostrapotski:
I'm currently using the one from today 0406

It's stable, but:

- camera has focus vibration defect

- no vibration

- only back & home action on physical button (long touch does not trigger recent apps)

- Brightness slider looks broken

- Camera app takes ages to launch, so does the flashlight
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Zenuno:
Hi there.

For recent apps try slide from left to right on physical button...
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mostrapotski:
Haha you rock man.

It works. The recent screen displays free ram & clear all button.

Right to left opens menu options.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] flyfire04:
the new nightly is usable as a daily driver. 2 bugs I found are taking a picture with flash enables crashes the camera and only a reboot makes it usable again and during a call its not possible to use the mic when the main speaker is enabled. This Rom is awesome :). I'll keep it on my phone.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] RealNBB:
Sadly the hands-free issue is a very old one. Same situation in Mokee MK60.1...or all other custom roms for z2 pro!

Furthermore UTouch is not working like it should do i guess?!
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] almmpt:
U-Touck Works?

Led blinking works?

Battery is good?

Right now i am with ressurection remir but i allways try MoKee.

Thanks in advance.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Terminator.J:
By the way, if you find yourself wanting soft navigation buttons as well to supplement the semi-functioning U-Touch button, add the following line to your /system/build.prop file and reboot:

"qemu.hw.mainkeys=0"

This has the added benefit of giving you back the option for left/right cursor control buttons when typing (which I always enable personally), and long-press gestures that would otherwise conflict.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] m45k:
Is this built better than the Resurrection Remix Rom?

After reading the thread I thought this one has more bugs
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] zyvex_14:
Just a question, have you activated vibration in sound menu? Because it works on my side, just need to be switched on.

As well does the brigthness bar, but you need first to desactivate Auto brightness.

Otherwise I agree on the issues linked to the camera.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mostrapotski:
i don't understand why i need to activate vibration in sound ?

When i press volume down, before the "Alarms only" i have the vibrate mode. Can't get vibration working here. It is supposed to vibrate for everything, SMS, calls, etc.

About the brightness, i'm confused as well because with all previous roms, even having adaptive brightness, we were able to slide it to express our preferences, whether we want it overall bright or dark.

What camera app are you using ?
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] zyvex_14:
Well maybe you don't understand but I am just telling you how to make it works, then up to you to do it or not.

Vibration is working for me in all modes (with or without ring) and for everything (SMS, call, whatsapp => for any notification)

For camera, I kept the one provided in the ROM, actually I don't use often the cam so I don't care that much.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] m45k:
and the brightness slider is denfenitly working, as long as you deactivate the auto brightness
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mostrapotski:
Ok, when you use it, do you have the continuous autofocus vibration problem ?

Now i have to hit the phone like 9 out of 10 times to take a picture... Annoying !
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] m45k:
actually i dont know what you mean by autofocus vibration problem. my autofocus is not working, only if i touch the area where i like to focus, then it works directly for this area and i can directly make a picture.

[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Overbeurk:
Hi,

I received my z2 pro 6Go this week end, and I'm fed up by chines applications.

I want to install : MK71.1-z2pro-201704091617-NIGHTLY.zip but I have 3 questions (maybe stupid):

- Is it compatible with Z2 pro version 6Go? because on Mokee site, the hardware description is RAM: 4GB.(https://download.mokeedev.com/?device=z2pro)

- Is there french language?

- What does Nightly mean?

Thanks to help a noob.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Zenuno:
Hi there

You can download from there.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Bluud:
Is it compatible : Yeah, I think it's a mistake

Is there french language : Yes

Nightly is a version still in development. Few bugs but not stable. When the version will be stable it will be "Release"
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Overbeurk:
Thanks a lot for explanations.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mostrapotski:
Just for your information I tried the new build mokee 71.2.

The update is related to mokee/Android and not our z2 pro.

Meaning the following are still broken:

-camera

-flash

-vibration

-proximity sensor

-orientation sensor

We need someone to contribute on that rom, the build, even being successful, is not very intended for a daily use on z2 pro I guess
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Terminator.J:
I suppose I've been fortunate with my camera then, but I haven't used the zoom and haven't gotten "stuck"... But I use Open Camera by Mark Harman on the play store rather than built-in, and it works great. Also, vibration and sensors (other than heart rate) are working fine.

Might I posit that you either wiped (or never flashed a Nougat-compatible factory QPST image for) the "persist" partition, where the sensor and camera drivers seem to live?

What works for me as a fresh bring-up and has fixed broken sensor issues:

- Use QFIL from the "How to flash a factory ROM" tutorials to blow official ZUI 2.5.3 in firehose mode

- Let it boot once normally (now you've got sensors), cancel out of setup and reboot

- Use the "unlocked bootloader" warning menu to start in fastboot

- Flash TWRP 3.1.0 from the German thread on zukfans.eu and reboot into recovery

- Wipe system, cache, Dalvik, internal storage, data

- Copy ROM to newly-empty storage via TWRP's MTP mode from computer

- Install a system and do whatever you want about root (MK is rooted with CM-SU, you can use the remove 5ool from LineageOS extras to remove it safely if you want u rooted or something else like Magisk)

- Restart once back into recovery so TWRP can secure itself

- Go forth to victory!
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mostrapotski:
No i didn't flash nay nougat rom with qfil..

I'm doing it now. Somehow, i miss that part.

I might even try again stock rom for a while, thx!
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] SabreWulf01:
Hi, I have had severe issues with the camera flash not working at all. Neither as torch/flashlight nor as camera flash. When trying to take photos with flash enabled, the camera app crashed and could no longer be started unless the phone has been rebooted. This has been the case with the nightlies from 12th and 13th April. I flashed Mokee coming from stock 2.5.335st.

[MENTION=5900575]Terminator.J[/MENTION]

How did you manage to use TWRPs MTP? With Win10 the phone does not show up as MTP device when using TWRP. I had that issue as well with my old Nexus5 with any TWRP 3.X release, whereas older 2.x releases worked fine with MTP.

Gesendet von meinem Z2 Pro mit Tapatalk
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Terminator.J:
I suspect that's an MTP driver issue. I'm doing okay with Win 10 on a laptop and desktop, but if memory serves, you'll need the ZUK USB drivers downloaded from the "how to flash a stock ROM tutorial".

I recall spending a lot of time digging through the ridiculous Chinese BBS forum that Lenovo uses instead of an actual support website with a real download section to distribute things like OEM ROMs and drivers (yes, I have views) only to find that it's the same file that someone here already uploaded to android file host. Here, download this and save yourself time.

Decompress (7-zip, woo) that archive (but don't try to run any installers yet) and then when the phone's booted in TWRP 3.x with MTP enabled and connected to the computer, get to Device Manager (right-click on the start button to get to the good stuff fast, yay), find the device with the warning icon on it, right-click to "Update Driver", choose the bottom option to "Browse my computer for software", then tell it to search in the decompressed folder & subfolders.

If it gives you two options, pick the one with the longer name (I think... sorry, I'm really tired). If that doesn't work, try it again and pick the other... but one of those should work while you're in TWRP 3.x MTP mode.

Let me know if that works!
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] mostrapotski:
Thx Terminator.J ,

Your detailed explanation helped me a lot.

I tried the stock rom for like... 5 minutes, but it's just bloatware everywhere. Who the **** at ZUK works at customer experience ?

Anyway, i flashed twrp and reinstalled lastest mokee, works great. Stock camera is ok (flash as well) but i tried open camera and once again, you are true. The interface is a bit laggy but the picture are much better.

[MENTION=8219792]SabreWulf01[/MENTION] i flashed twrp from windows 10 and was able to use it in mtp mode. Prior to that i removed any lenovo driver from my computer and installed the lastest one from "how to flash a stock rom" on zukfans.

An other information, i was not able to get adb working with the white cable zuk gave us, what a shame. Maybe your cable is faulty as well and fail mtp, dunno if it's possible.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] SabreWulf01:
MTP mode does indeed work fine, when changing the driver. While recovery is running, Win10 kept ADB device driver, changing to an MTP capable driver fixed that. Thanks!

Camera flash (taking a photo with flash enabled) still crashes camera app and flashlight. This also happens with open camera. Running torch works fine after a boot, until you try to capture a photo with flash. I did clean qpst install of 2.5.335st and than flashed Mokee nightly from 19.04. which still makes the flash misbehave. Reverted back to another ROM which had working flash.

[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheNacho:
The current build is alright, but these are my issues:

- volume controls are broken (bluetooth streaming audio is either mute or deafening, call volume is loud at minimal setting and the sound of hanging up is deafening)

- WiFi is unstable in idle (not the biggest issue, but annoying at times)

- sometimes the phone can not be woken up (force reboot helps)

- battery runtime is meh, performance is alright though

do you think the volume issue could be solved by a clean flash? It is by far the most annoying at the current time.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Terminator.J:
Welp. Now it's screwing up for me. Even with fresh install (as in, blast it with ZUI 2.5 via QFIL, install TWRP, wipe everything, fresh install of MK + OpenGapps), I'm still getting hard freezes with black screen / blue LED ever since the new 7.1.2 based nightlies started coming out. Seems mostly to happen during account-sync-related things (or, y'know, trying to reinstall everything from Google Play Store). Going back to last 7.1.1 for now, that seemed to be fairly solid, even with volume issues (at least for me, it was either mute or DEAFENING with alarm clock - ring/notify and app volumes worked normally though).
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheNacho:
Had the same thing. I switched over to RR. After removing the bloat, I am very happy with it. Much more stable than MoKee
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Terminator.J:
Thank you for the recommendation; I did that too and it's been very stable and seems to work well.

...

Of course, now that I found a ROM I like for the Z2 Pro, the developer decided to stop updating RR in order to focus on his releases of AICP! At least, if Google's page translation is working, that's what this means anyway. :P

http://bbs.lenovomobile.cn/z2pro/t780725/4/

I'm downloading now from the share.weiyun.com site; I'll try to put it up on Mega or AFH or something tonight after I get off work - hopefully it will have finished downloading then. (6-10 hours left, speed is varying).

If anyone feels like being a canary and verifying that the 7.1.2 MoKee builds ever become stable, that would be cool. But I need my phone to work for work, and right now, random hard freezes mean that I miss important calls, alarms, and reminders.
[Lenovo Zuk Z2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] TheNacho:
I've had some good experiences with AICP on other phones. Lets hope it will be good on the z2pro aswell

For those having MTP issues, after connecting your phone to PC via USB cable if device manager shows a yellow exclamation mark, right click and select update driver, choose the second option on the popup screen, click the "I have disk option". Browse C/Windows/INF folder and locate wpdmtp.inf file. You will see and notice that the connection is established.
