I flashed 331 2 times without problems on boot, only no in call sound and mic didn't worked. If there is really a problem i guess it would be twrp related, because we download the same file.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] Tianhe:
Maybe. But I flashed v331 with both old and new recovery and both times it resulted in bootloop. Only after factory reset + format data I could make it work. BTW, I am using the new recovery this time.

Modifying a stock ROM for TWRP flashing requires a very essential thing - the Stock ROM itself ! Since Asus has not released the stock ROM officially on its website till now, the only way it can be done is if YOU provide the stock ROM yourself.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] Pasarireng:
No worries..

The Modified 334 Update that can be flashed with TWRP (and 334 unmodified version to be flashed with standard recovery) is already there on the Asus X00TD Updates Telegram Group. :laugh:
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] Pasarireng:
R

Just like you, I was on RedWolf.

Now I'm on TWRP 323.

Nothing to lose for me, only advantage, so I did migrate to TWRP.

Prepare the files (331 update, decrypt and magisk) just as OP wrote.

Right after flash the update, flash decrypt and magisk, reboot.

You'll be still in rooted mode.

Like me. No worries.

(Note: this is the thread for v331... If you mean the v334 update, then it's not valid).

[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] bhishmar:
Thanks Avinash for your great efforts & time.

I compared the official Asus download & your modded "TWRP_Stock_v311.zip", & see that the only change is in the single file "update-script" (in META-INF/com/google/android), for ver-3.11 also.

As you promised pls do mention any other changes in your future version posting. It increases the confidence of users. Also keep continuing your practice of posting checksum hashes, if you change the upload location in future, to enable data-integrity check. It is definitely a more professional approach. It is a pity Asus is not posting chesksums for their 1.4 GB full fota firmware. Even LineageOS posts checksum hashes of their firmwares.

Incidentally I see that you have suppressed abort on all three error conditions.:

( E3003, E3004, E3009 ).

Of this E3003 is for suppressing the abort on revert to older builds, which is needed I think.

But as I understand, E3004 is for model != ASUS_X00TD, & E3008 is for SKU != WW.

So I am curious why you are suppressing abort on these two errors (E3004 & E3009) also?

Is'nt both ZB601KL & ZB602KL (India & Indonesia) devices, with ASUS_X00TD model nums & with SKU=WW?

Pls clarify.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] Pasarireng:
Nice. I wish it'll be good.

After 'not so cool experience' with 331 (Asus is to blame) this 334 could be my last version to decide whether I'll keep using the stock ROM (as I actually want it to be) or forever go with the 'dark side' (Custom ROM) ...LoL

---------- Post added at 07:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 AM ----------

BTW Actually on my MPM1 now (UBL, TWRP & Rooted by Magisk) if I Check Update in the Settings, Asus still offers me the OTA Update 334.

I can Download it, but when download is done, it goes to installation process, then the auto install would bring me into TWRP instead, then failed (not installed and I'll be still on 331).

My questions are:

1. Will uninstall magisk and totally unroot would make the update be able to be installed?

(Because if the answer is yes, actually it's already enough for me, and I think I can root my phone again easily afterward).

I think I'm gonna try that later.

2. Where/what folder did the 400MB+ OTA Update file being saved? I'd like to erase it if it doesn't worked anyway.

Thank You in advance (Avinash and anyone)

1.You need to relock bootloader n back to stock recovery for official donlod n install.

2.i dont know,maybe anyone else know bout it??
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] Pasarireng:
Download it is fine. Only the installation process which failed.

I won't try relock BL nor back to stock recovery. It's too cumbersome.

If unroot doesn't work I'd stop trying. Then wait for better solution (about update to 334 for rooted phone) here on the forum, or else I'd go with the custom ROM. No hurry and no worries actually, only that I hate this 331 version,... but I still can compromise it for a while.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] viclanigan:
Go back to earlier build like 327 or 318 as for me personally those 2 are the best build. If 334 is ready in this thread, u can flash it from twrp.

[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] Pasarireng:
No thanks, although yes the v327 is the best update IMHO, but I still can compromise and wait on this 331.

After there's good way to instal v334 on rooted phone like mine, I'll install the 334... then I'd decided whether I'd stay on the (334) stock ROM, or migrate to Custom ROM permanently.

For now, I'll be waiting.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] viclanigan:
No need to wait for 334 about changing to cusrom, u can revert back to stock if cusrom can't give u what u need. I said that because i changed rom once every 2 days. Just don't forget to backup ur apps, as for me i use swift backup app, it can restore apps not only the app itself but including its data, it's a paid app though, but if want, i can show u how to get for free.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] Pasarireng:
Nice, interesting, you may message me about swift premium, and all the proper backup procedure, because I still have to learn it.

Understood and thanks. But perhaps I'll execute it later, not now, because however tidy my backup strategy is (and now it's not LOL), Still it takes time and still there will be some pre and post work we have to do, and chance of losing something (data , presets or etc) no matter how small it is etc. I don't have much time for all that now.

But thank you again, actually on android phones, before this Asus, I always stay on Custom ROM, almost never on stock, almost 'as Google-Less as possible' type of user :)

Perhaps in the near future I'd do that again and I wish when that time is come, you'd like to help answer my question if I ever need to ask :)

[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] akshmau5:
You can D/L the update, you can't install it as we have UBL and Magisk.

You won't be able to install even if you unroot as we got custom recoveries.

Man, I told you be patient ?.

Lineage OS (or any other custom ROM) + microG would be your best bet, though in the future, if you want to stay away from Google. Not worth it IMO, as also the Lineage has some help or something from Google itself.

Rest is upto you! Convenience vs privacy or balance of it both.

No custom ROM beats stock I think, as you have to iron out a lot of bugs which we can hardly do other than troubleshoot. (For our device) Plus it's extremely time and energy consuming, how much ever we love to do it, including moi.

You are right about the small minutiae that you got to take care of with constant flashing. Rather to enjoy something for a while than keep on hopping from one thing to another, again IMO.

Reading your posts I feel you can give Xposed framework a shot, the next best thing to a custom ROM; atleast till the project is alive:crying::crying:

PM me if you want to know more or anything.

Or maybe I will as I think you sound very anxious/excited (in a good way).

Also stick to TitaniumBackup for app backup/restore. Nothing comes even close to it.

Maybe I am excited/anxious to tell you more.

All the more reason to PM you. :silly:
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] Pasarireng:
Thank you for the exciting reply :)

All your points are understood;

*Ok I'll be patiently wait for the 'easy to install' (for UBL TWRP Root) 334 update file from mr.Avinash.

*Yes, LineAge and before that Cyanogen are two of very familiar Custom ROMs for me for years in my experience in using Android phones, I really enjoyed them for years. But, sadly, by read some posts in the internet, IMHO the LineAge Pie version today is not good enough for now,

and I only interested in custom ROM for this Asus MPM1 if it's Pie...

for Oreo, I'd stick on Asus Stock ROM.

*Yes I really (1000x) hate Google (although I use android and some of their unavoidable technologies LOL) so I'd avoid Google in any of their 'face', but only as far as I can. Sometimes I can't go as far as I like to, I know :)

*"No Custom ROM beat stock", you said..

...umm..beg to differ: in this Asus MPM1 and Oreo case it might be right & true. But in other cases, my previous cases, other stock OS, or at least on some other phones/OS that I ever experienced them myself, it might not true.

And in the case of Android Pie on this Asus MPM1, of course there isn't any comparison yet LOL.

*Xposed...I used them few times in the past for some modifications, but I don't really understand it, actually, other than used it for some things I needed in the past.

*TitaniumBackup.. I only ever tried it few times in the past but to be honest all my experiences with it were not good and I don't really like it.

But perhaps it was only me. I'm sure it's a great app, because many people like it.

Instead, I use other ways for my BackUp strategy.

That are:

-Nandroid Backup from TWRP for system,

-Wondershare (Windows & Android) apps for anything else,

-Google Photos for pics and videos,

-Degoo for some big files,

-Google (GMail) Contacts,

-Google Drive (because sometimes it's the unavoidable default esp. in Android).

-and some of them are 'cross back-up' of something.

-I also manually save any things that I think are important on my Computer Drive first, before spread/sync them again to many backup ways (cloud drives and etc).

*Please PM me anytime you'd like, I'll be happy to read and reply it. And thank you, I'll send you message if I ever need to. Hope you'd like to answer it at that time :)

Thanks again Akshmau5

[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] Pasarireng:
Another bad experience with Titanium Backup Pro :eek:

So today I just have an unusual free time. I play with my phone.

I downgrade to 327 as Avinash thread (Reset factory and all).

First I do the backup with Titanium Backup Pro. Also I did second backup process as I usually do (Wondershare Windows App on PC), just in case anything bad happen.

At the start, all is smooth... until the time I restore App&Data from Titanium,... too many trouble:

First, while restoring message app, Titanium forced me to let it become the default message app, no other way except accept.

Then after restore process was finished, it notify me that 3 apps can't be restored.

Then one by one I'm starting to found out that some apps are not working. Whatsapp, Quora, etc etc...

Enough.. I hate this, I think.

So I reboot to TWRP,...Redo the reset factory procedur and etc again,...but this time I restoring from my PC (Wondershare App) instead.

All is smooth and working good.

Enough with Titanium. I won't ever use it again.

Sorry, I know you and many people like it. But I always have bad experience with it. I don't know why,..perhaps it's only me..but it's what happened just now.
