There are different kind of smartphone users.

Some like us, who don't like nor even need encryption, some other need or like it.

I have some friends who do.

Technology companies like Asus concern about security of their products for their users, and it's a good thing, actually. That's why they utilized the encrypting procedures.

You must be already know that too.

For me, that doesn't have to be a problem whether we like it or not, especially as long as there are smart creative people like in this forum who, for example, create this kind of decrypt program in only a small file, which is so easy to be used, which gives us options to do what we want.

I like being given options.

Just my 2 cents.

---------- Post added at 05:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 AM ----------

one solid rule about using digital technologies to store our personal data is to always have a solid backup.

IF you do that, then you just have to start over the entire steps thouroughly, no problem, then you restore your data from your backup as you like, or try other solutions for other problems if they ever might occured (worst is bricked phone) which also been warned, and thankfully is also available in a thread somewhere in the forum.

We all are busy with our own days so that's not your own hindrance to fix a problem with your phone.

My suggestion, start over, and hold on to our precious backup.

Im on liquid remix pie rom but i have a twrp backup of stock 331 rom.

Can i install the modded update zip file by reverting back to 331 stock rom ?

Please suggest
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] Pasarireng:
Keep your backup etc..

Just follow this thread instead to comeback to stock ROM first (it is 334 indeed);

You misunderstood me bro...

1.I have a twrp backup of my 331 stock rooted rom.

2. At present im on custom rom.

3. I can flash 331 stock rom from my backup and after then CAN I FLASH THE MOD 334 ZIP FILE ofcourse with the steps described ?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] Pasarireng:
No I don't misunderstood you.

I know what you mean.

What I mean is:

You dont need your twrp backup of your 331 at all for the purpose.

I don't think you can either (flash 331 stock rom from your backup)... Not that easy anyway, and there's no need. (What for anyway?... if you follow the guides and using the files on the links I gave- and neglect your twrp backup, you won't lose anything -except perhaps some internet data, some storage space on your phone (to download and save the Avinash file) and some of your time :) )

IF you'd like to go to Stock ROM from custom ROM:

Just follow the guide on the link. Straight to 334.

After that, if later you'd like to downgrade then follow the second guide on the second link I gave you above.

You are not ONLY need "the steps on the guide from those links" , but you ALSO need "the file (s) which were edited by Avinash to be able to be used like his guide" .

See? Dont use other files for that guide.

Is that clear?

Hello friends

I also got bootloop after flashing 337 update

Reboot to recovery and flash the ambient display zip again and wipe cache and dalvik cache

Then reboot

I had the same problem so i followed the above steps and successfully booted

After reverting back to stock from havoc pie I'm getting charging Speed till 1200 mah and it's showing 5 hours left from from 40% to full.

In Havoc i was getting till 2k mah.:silly::confused: please help me if someone have solutions.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] Pasarireng:
IMHO we'd better not too worry about that thing, since the charging process is related to some other aspects like temperature of the batt/phone/room, the running background apps, the needed idle time before it goes rapid charging etc.

Me too sometimes experience various thing like that (charging indicates the long hours needed to reach full charge..but then after awhile everything is ok again, doesn't need long hours, instead few minutes later when I check it again, it said something different like; "charging rapidly, 50 minutes to go")

I was from havoc 9 too before back into the stock ROM. But I don't think the migration causing that. In fact I think it's normal.

So perhaps everything is allright, don't have to worry. Perhaps because the big battery in it, that being the reason and attention of why people bought it, the users hope to the batt duration etc is very high, so I notice that some (many) Asus Zf MPM1 users are worry too much about small things like this when actually they don't need to. Just relax.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] Diesmiling:
I am getting battery drain after the update. Android system has consumed the second most battery after screen. Any remedy?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] Pasarireng:
I agree that 327 is still the best in the batt duration departement, but IMHO the situation in 337 is still acceptable. YMMV.

If you don't need Live Wallpaper and EIS in stock camera app, perhaps downgrade and stay in 327 is the best option.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] Tianhe:
Finally ! Considering that the last two updates have been a personal disaster for me (update stuck on zenfone logo), this was a textbook update without a hitch (TWRP 3.2.3.0). Some points I remember:

1) No ambient display zip or substratum was used.

2) Flashed exactly as per procedure w/o unmounting/mounting any partition.

3) Before booting to system, wiped cache/dalvik.

4) Debloat zip was flashed after booting once to system.
