Hey guys, can you help me out here? I ordered the s8 off the Samsung.com site the other day, the tmobile version and it had a "free activation" option to select.

I noticed that in some cases TWRP doesn't "stick", and gets overridden by default bootloader. Specific check is essentially useless - just to prevent flash of improper image. Just remove the check in the new FW, or use modified FW that has the check removed. I think in your case you can just re-flash TWRP since your bootloader is unlocked?

I know this is going to sound super dumb, but the unofficial bootloader unlock still triggers the bootup message and voids the warranty, right?
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] DilipRB:
This might be even dumber... But my guess is that the official app to unlock boot loader, does more than unlock,

My guess is that it also register with asus mobile, the fact that for your device has been unlocked...
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] sensi277:
That's what some manufacturers do, like Motorola and HTC. But from back when I unlocked the BL on my Zenfone 2 Laser, I remember that all it did (as far as I could tell) was unlock the bootloader and set a flag in the bootloader that made it say it was unlocked that couldn't be reversed. No need for fancy registration systems when you can just boot up the phone and take a look.

Canadian version ?????

Hey folks,

Where do I look to see if my phone is the canadian version of the Asus ze552kl? :confused:

I did purchase it in Canada.

The model number is:

MPN: ZE552KL-S625-4G64G-DB

if that helps.

And apparently it was factory unlocked.

Thanks in advance

[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] newcdn:
On back of the box, at the top, it should say ASUS_Z012DC if it's the Canadian model

You can also check by going into Settings -> About -> Model number. It should be Z012DC

[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] sensi277:
Can someone post a TWRP backup of the phone's modem firmware partition? Mine got messed up and now my phone's stuck in a boot loop.

Edit: Nevermind, I was able to fix it by flashing the stock recovery and installing one of the OTA images from ASUS' website.

Edit 2: Turns out the WW stock firmware has some differences from the firmware that came on my ZE552KL from Staples. More bloatware, for one - Instagram and Facebook among other apps and Facebook bloat are now unremovable without root on my phone. Others be warned - always verify your TWRP backups!

Only apply to same SKU update, Example: WW->WW, CN->CN

, .

4.Software update cannot transfer the software SKU and downgrade the software version.

5.Wrong SKU may cause update failure, please update the same SKU version only.

*How to know the device model?

Path: Settings->About-> Model number

Example: ASUS_Z00ED

**How to know the device software version?

Answer removed - was suggesting the actual thread!
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] AnAn.:
Hi. I am asking other colleagues for this problem, if you could help me, I would be grateful.

Months ago, more than a year ago, root my ze552kl with your method. Later, I removed the root, the twrp and I closed the bootloader to update to Oreo. I've tried to root him again, in Oreo, and I can not install the twrp again. First the official unlocking of the bootloader did not work, after returning previous system to unlock with unofficial and lose everything, I update back to oreo and although in fastboot if it recognizes the terminal does not allow me to install the twrp, it gives me installation failure . I'm investigating and it seems to have to do with "no-verity-opt-encrypt", in other terminals of other brands uninstall or disable from the console, I've tried but I still do not install the twrp. If you could allude me, I would be very grateful, I have a lot of work and losses and I do not get it. In any case, thank you very much.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] Light_8-0:

[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] AnAn.:
I have messed up. it was not with the Canadian method, I did not modify the lines, it was another one that I look for but I can not find in which you installed all those files of DM-VERITY, it seems that I had to uninstall them before removing twrp. Now it does not let me uninstall twrp. I keep trying, right now I'm bricked, I'm flashing to see if I remove a bootloop and nothing, try to start and blinks the icon of the green doll with red signal.

Bootloader unlock is failing for me on my z012dc. I get a "FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))" error. I've tried via both the apk unlock method and the fastboot method, both fail. Has anyone else run into this error and gotten around it?

The driver links in the first thread don't work. When I try to flash an older stock ROM version, I get the message "it's for WW_Phone", then when I remove the first three lines, I get the bad footer message.

Per wrenhal's request, I have generated an app to enable tethering for moto G4 phones that have it disabled.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] bw 1:
Thanks for this. Does this require an unlocked bootloader? Will it work with Android security patch level of Feb 1, 2017?
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] wrenhal:
This is for the Amazon ads version of the g4 play. What this is supposed to do is patch in memory the build.prop file to allow tethering when the phone tries to check in with the carrier to see if tethering is allowed. No it does not need an unlocked bootloader. If it's the same as the fix I've been working with him on then it is only a temporary fix as rebooting the phone will lose the option and the app has to be run again.

[MENTION=7838117]ledothis[/MENTION] you may want to describe to them how long it takes to run the app and what they'll see on their screen.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] bw 1:
Thanks. Yes, I'd like to know more. I was reading the progress made on removing the ads from the Amazon version and saw your request to do the same to the build.prop file to allow tethering, but I didn't see any more info on that until this thread.

I have the Verizon Prepaid version and I'd like to know what it does to see if it could work on that.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] wrenhal:
It appears to go through similar processes as the adb instructions. I got the moto logo for awhile and then it went black. But it stayed there for quite a while. Almost ten minutes. So I just rebooted the phone. I'll try again tonight after a clean reboot.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] wrenhal:
Ok I had a chance to do it again yesterday. The app says patching assets and then restarting and then the phone stored at the moto logo screen for over 5 minutes. I then just rebooted. Should it take that long? I don't remember the adb exploit taking that long.

Tethering/hotspot just requires a simple build.prop entry

this app does the job for you.

you can also freeze the entitlement app with titanium
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] wrenhal:
Are you on an Amazon version of the g4 play? And what entitlement app? Don't you have to have root to freeze apps? No root on this device.

If you ran this app can you tell me how long it took the app to make the change and return to a usable state?
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] hp420:
yes, root is required for any of the changes at all in this thread.

However, for USB tether, easytether works without any root access.

You do not need root. We are dealing with a unique case for marshmallow g4 play phones. Wrhenal has confirmed this.

Yeh it shouldn't take 5 minutes. It should be about 30 seconds. I need to retest the app on my phone I have a feeling I left out a file when I packaged up the application.

I retried the app after cleaning out my phone. It failed for me as well exactly how you described.

[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] wrenhal:
I'll get to try this in the morning. Hopefully it works as I'd like to tether my tablet while camping this weekend. I'll uninstall the first app. Anything else?? Do I need to make sure all the adb stuff is deleted??

Thanks again for all of this.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] ledothis:
Uninstalling should be enough.
[Moto G4 Play Questions & Answers] wrenhal:
Same issue. Patching assets (actually takes longer than the first one), then restarting... and then either a black screen (with backlight you can see) or the Moto logo and it just sits and sits... Waited almost 5 minutes once and nothing. But more than a minute each time.

I then cleared the data/cache of the app and still the same thing. I just can't get it to work.

For info:

I'm on 6.0.1 , Patch level July 1, 2016

Build: MPI24.241-2.35-1

Do I need something in developer options turned on?

Oh well..
