I'm also running pie but still with stock recovery, what you said is true then? If i just would like to revert to stock, i can just flash the stock firmware zip via TWRP? This is one of the reason why I'm scared to install TWRP as I would lose the stock recovery (and i thought if I have TWRP, i can't flash the stock zips if i want to go back to stock)

If you have twrp recovery installed i think it's dead you can try to install via adb maybe

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img if you have stock recovery

Or with stock firmware try to flash via adb

Important your battery life is important !!!!!

Hum i'm not sure but if you Can't boot into stock recovery it's very Bad for your device ...

Watch here maybe : https://www.google.com/amp/s/xdafor...zs620kl-how-to-force-ota-update-t3828827/amp/

You have locked bootloader and you can't flash any Zip or IMG or any others files in adb command or twrp because he is blocked you can't boot on rom because the bootloader is locked and not recognized the system is very Bad i have whrite just boot not flash twrp

Before relock bootloader flash stock recovery in twrp and After that you Can relock but i don't know if you Can duplicate the stock recovery

Try to put the stock firmware into sd card and try to force update with specific manipulation maybe
[Asus Zenfone 5 (2018, ZE620KL) Guides, News, & Dis] Deero:

Do you think it is possible to unlock bootloader via fastboot and adb?

try to flash raw firmware with this adb command line : flashall_aft.cmd

you can try to flash raw firmware with Asus Flash Tool

Make sure you’ve backed up all of your IMPORTANT DATA before downgrading/returning to stock ROM.

I am not responsible for bricked devices and dead SD cards. YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

1) Download RAW firmware here:

ZE620KL: (Choose which firmware you would like to downgrade)

take the same firmware raw : 15.0610.1801.42 : https://www.asus.com/fr/Phone/ZenFone-5-ZE620KL/HelpDesk_Download/

take the same firmware raw : 15.0615.1803.60 : https://www.asus.com/fr/Phone/ZenFone-5-ZE620KL/HelpDesk_Download/

2) Download ASUS Flash Tool here: https://www.asusflashtool.com/

3) Install ASUS Flash Tool

4) Now, power off your device and enter Fastboot mode by pressing Power Button + Volume Up button

5) Open ASUS Flash Tool and select your device

6) Select the RAW firmware you've downloaded

7) Click on the Serial Number of your device.

8) Click Start and wait 5-10 minutes (ignore error 5 [FRP ERROR])

9) Congratulations, you have downgraded to older firmware.

For command to unlock bootloader : fastboot oem unlock in adb command but i think it's doesn't work you can find method for command adb on google

raw firmware = stock firmware but specific first firmware not the last .....

[Downgrade/unbrick guide]

If you need to downgrade the firmware or if you have somehow bricked your device you can try to flash a raw (full) image of the phone.

Download and extract the raw firmware to c:\5\raw.

Start your phone in fastboot mode. To do that press and hold "power+volume up" to switch it on until you see the fastboot menu. If you are having trouble getting there,

it helps to release the power button first then the volume up when you see the menu.

Now connect the phone to your computer with the original usb cable. Open a command line with admin privileges and excute the following commands:

fastboot devices

flashall_aft.cmd

Try with raw Stock Firmware on Asus Support Web site for ZE620KL :

-15.0610.1801.42

or

-15.0615.1803.60

Change raw by the name for your firmware

To switch to the fastboot dir:

(normally you open the adb command in adb folder ; you can try to put the folder into c:\5\raw)

for open adb command in admin shift+right click into folder you can see open adb command in admin ;) )

Code:

cd c:\5\raw

To flash the raw image:

Code:

flashall_aft.cmd

This will take a few minutes and the phone will reboot automatically. The first boot will take a little longer but your phone should now be unbricked and downgraded to 80.10.8.54.

You can now go to the root section of the guide and upgrade to a more current firmware.

For the first method, the software was not able to read my device in fastboot mode, but the adb can.

In the second method, I can't get the command to work, adb just says unknown command.

I found they also upgrade me to Android Pie when I collect back the phone & when I got back home I un-lock it again using the enclosed file. This file actually you can find from any OFFICIAL ASUS website.

BACK UP before you do anything.

Copy this apk file in internam memory then, install.

************** check file name if this is same version to your phone model firmware version number.

************** you should understand once you hit install, this apk will wipe off e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g from your phone like brand new.

I have a web based quoting system my sales team uses and the database has 70,000 rows in the quotes table, each one a different quote. I'm using Android's SyncAdapter classes to make it so the application synchronizes with the remote database when a connection becomes available but will use the local NoSQL database when getting pricing. Now one of the sales guys might want to go back and look at quote number 50231 from a few years ago when in a remote area without service so I'm wondering if there are any issues with synchronizing all 70,000 rows from this table to the local database on the phone or if there's a different accepted way of doing this.

The entire database is 1 gibibyte in size and contains all customers, quotes, pricing and a bill of materials for each job. I'm just trying to find best practice here.

[Honor 8 Lite Questions & Answers] kearlsaint:
It's good enough, I mean technically all 16gb internals + big sd cards are good enough for moderate app usage and casual media.

I get around 7-8gb after a factory format, so after some social media apps like fb, messenger, whatsapp, instagram, twitter, etc. you might get around 5-6gb of space left. I used the remaining for app cache and 3 heavy games which takes 1-2gb each.

Get the 64gb version if you use too many apps and games or get a fast & spacious sd card and just link most apps to it.

How did you upgrade?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Chemdawg:
I'm not sure what your asking. I used Olipro 1.20, flashed the new Radio rom, flashed DCD 3.0.1, then flashed back to olipro 2.40. I used the instructions that DCD posted. This isn't the first rom I have used from DCD. I have been following the Custom roms for about 2 months or so now, and have kept up with them. I have never had memory card or installation issues. I talked to the manufacturer of Geoscout, and they said it is compatable with 6.1. I also need Compact .net framework 2.0 on here which I have. So I'm lost.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
You just confirmed to me that you did not flash "correctly." When I say correctly, I mean how others are doing it problem free. These are dcd's instructions:

1. If you have not already done so, run the 2.40-olipro unlocker. Your device will again be left in tri-color screen.

2. Flash the official sprint 3.35 update.

3. When the device boots for the first time, do not pass screen calibration. Flash a 3.x.x ROM.

Now, I'm not saying the problems you are having are caused by how you flashed, but I do know that most everyone that flashed the way you did are having major issues.

Let me know what happens.

[Galaxy Tab S2 General] naiku:
Can anyone confirm if the Galaxy Tab S2, specifically the SM-T713 has full USB Host Mode support? Either out the box on factory firmware or with a custom firmware? I currently run a 2012 Nexus in the car and have a powered USB hub with a flash drive, USB DAC, Joycon etc all plugged into the hub, which is then connected to the tablet via an OTG Y-cable. The Nexus is starting to slow down and show its age, so I am trying to figure out a replacement. But, without buying something and testing it out, not something I can realistically do, it is proving difficult to find which tablets support USB Host Mode. The S2 looks like a nice tablet, and with an S4 coming out sometime soon I expect prices on the S2 to come down a little as well. USB Host Mode is going to be a deal breaker though.

Additionally, is anyone running one as an in car tablet? If so, how reliable is it? any issues? recommended ROM's?

Thanks.

[Magisk] niko26:
Hi,

I am trying to install an OTA using Magisk and the method johnw has outlined. (start Magisk, uninstall and replacing the modded image/boot with the stock ones, then install the OTA, before it asks for a reboot and you reboot - install Magisk on the other boot slot.) this works up to the point where it reboots the phone - then it gets caught in a bootloop for about five times, and then a message appears that it couldn't install the OTA.

Has anyone been able to install the OTA using the outline method?
[Magisk] srynoname:
Basically same Problem here with the non-XL Pixel 2. However after the I think 5 times boot loop I ended up in the Google Logo screen with the Progress bar. However after over 50 minutes it wasn't gone. Hard reset didn't help - stuck again at the same Situation. Will now reflash the phone.

Would be also interested in Feedback from others on how to install the OTA successfully.
[Magisk] sb1893:
I have run into similar issues in the past. I wasn't sure if I was not getting the sequence of steps correct or not. In the end, I decided that the more straightforward and easiest method for me was just to flash the full factory update (removing the -w to preserve my data). Once upgraded to the latest release successfully, I just fastboot boot TWRP (don't install TWRP), then flash Magisk zip from there. This has worked for me the last several updates with no issues and the entire process takes less than 30 minutes. Perhaps not as elegant as the method recommended in this forum, but less moving parts and steps that can go wrong in my experience.

Good luck!
[Magisk] srynoname:
Thanks for your feedback.

Here's another way that I just tested successfully:

E.g. for updating from April to May:

- Still being on April patch Level, patch boot.img from May using MagiskManager, transfer to Computer

- Boot into Bootloader. Flash stock boot Image from April

- Boot into the stock recovery and install the OTA, e.g. using adb sideload

- After the OTA is installed, select to boot into the Bootloader again

- In the Bootloader Flash the patched boot.img from May that was created in the first step

- Reboot phone and enjoy the May update ;)

[MENTION=5802069]sb1893[/MENTION]: I think your way is more comfortable though as one doesn't need to prepare a boot Image file.
