Zenfone 2 Deluxe Special Edition

Model: Z00A

Before I unlocked, rooted, and flashed my current version, I had Android M - I believe it was Asus firmware version: WW-4.21.40.352

Current version: Groovy Android Android N (7.1.2) - GA-N-v7.1.2-20180612-Z00A-Release.zip

Apparently that was a big mistake and I should have downgraded to Android L before flashing Groovy Android Android N because there's a known issue related to the SIMs not being detected.

I can get my LTE connection to work if I physically remove and reinsert the SIM but that's obviously annoying. And I figured out how to play with the data/SIM settings to get it to register on the data network again but it keeps reverting back to having issues with the X over the LTE symbol and having no data connection.

I just picked Groovy Android because I didn't really know where to start and I wanted Android Nougat. I really want a dark themed Android Nougat but I haven't come across any custom ROMs that have that option. Any suggestions?

For now, I need to go back to Android L so I can flash Groovy Android again without SIM issues.

I downloaded UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.206-user.zip from Asus's website.

Can I simply go into TWRP, go into sideload mode, and then type adb sideload UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.206-user.zip from my PC?

Do I need to wipe any particular partitions before or after?

EDIT:

Oh also one of the reasons I wanted to try a custom ROM is because of all the bluetooth audio issues I was having. Every single ROM I've ever had on this phone, from the one it shipped with, through several OTA and updated firmwares from Asus's website that claim to "fix bluetooth stability", I've always had this issue where the audio just randomly cuts out while connected to my Soundbot SB360 receiver (I've had other devices and phones connected to it without issue). I've seen other people complain about it on Asus's forums with no real resolution.

I know I need to downgrade to stock Lollipop. So the question is, can I do that from TWRP, and how do I do it?

Did you back up your system partition before flashing Groovy Android?

Yeah, but how does that help me get to Lollipop?

I was on Marshmallow prior to Groovy Android.

download asus flash tool

Either flash the firmware directlyhttps://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/help/guide-flash-stock-rom-asus-zenfone-2-t3588276, or restore that backup, flash stock MM recovery, lock the bootloader and downgrade by installing the 2.x "update" zip from ASUS's website.

I was reading over this guide yesterday and I'm going to try METHOD 2 using the Asus Flash Tool to flash WW_ZE551ML_2.20.40.206_20170627.raw which is the latest version of Lollipop.

Hello, I flashed my s8 with CRE2 by odin. Also i flashed that with new file called userdata alongside AP,BP,CSC,CP etc. But im facing slowing sometimes (could be some bug). So this time i want to upgrade my software build to the latest version which is CRE9 (june update). I searched a lot but couldnt find anywhere. Can u help me to find the latest G950USQU4CRE9 for ATT S8 G950U (Unlocked).

i have another question too. Do i have to add userdata to flash my device or can i just skip it and go with other 4 file.

Love from Bangladesh (Asia). Thanks

Suddenly today my BT won't connect to anything except my watch. I turned BT on and off, restarted, cleared cache in settings, cleared dalvik cache - nothing seems to work.

I'm running AOKP N with the AKLU kernel, tried to reflash the kernel but kept getting error [[].

Any ideas as to what I can do to fix this without doing a full wipe and flash?

Thanks for any suggestions and comments!

Thanks for the information...

I can provide you latest system,boot, recovery.img files if you want...

Do you know how to make raw firmware?? Because that could come handy for hard bricked phones.

What do u mean by raw. In what format is it in.

I've converted oreo stock firmware .dat files to .img files but I can't test them as I don't have the phone. My friend seems happy on nougat and I don't think he'll let me flash it on his phone.

I haven't tried dl-ing official stock and seeing if phone will see it as an update to manually self install via nougat recovery or maybe to try adb sideload again.

I can't update to Oreo via ota... do you know why?
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Guides, News, & Discussion] vincom:
the op here. lol, my friend dropped the phone and now its dead screen, no display/no touch but phone still works.

he doesnt want to get a screen for it as it will cost almost as much as he paid for it.......so its mine now.

been flashing stuff to it, gave it a very hard soft brick, still dealing with that.

my goal was to run it remotely but get adb/usb debugging enabled and get pc trusted by phone. i thought he wanted to sell it as is but decided to give to me to do whatever i want to it

got out of the hard soft brick, installed twrp, use twrp cli, twrp backups and restore, rooted w/magisk, installed 6.0.1 (fluked it), 7.11 using my method above with the extra erase commands, removed frp, got adb /usb debugging enabled and device adb authorized by hacking , got vysor, a remote control mirroring app running, all without a working screen.

i'll write up a tut for any1 else that needs help. fyi, weak screen if dropped even short distance, but he had no cover, but pretty to hard to brick it, imo, ymmv

bro i want to unlock my phone whats why i downgrade,but after downgrading checked official unlock tool gives the same network error that gives on android 8.0.is there any way to unlock it on this 7.1.1 firmware?
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Guides, News, & Discussion] vincom:
u say u used my system img file, but did u also flash the recovery and boot.

the service tech fw includes all mdm and drivers, mine do not.

when i was unlocking 7.11 i had to try it a few times, iirc if it says failed it could be a false positive. if u downgraded than it could be unlocked. use fastboot command to check or see what bootloader states.

but that was with asus older unlock tool and not the new one they have posted on their site

Make sure the "devices" in the command line is LOWER-CASE.

adb devices

not

adb Devices

Also, I haven't read the whole thread (I'm lazy) so I don't know if it makes a difference but the latest ADB is 1.0.40 from https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools#download

Let us know if it works now! :)

Hey guys, I have a problem I cannot seem to figure out.. Probably a week or two ago I stopped getting logged out notifications, I use the Tap login (saved password login) where it shows your picture and you tap it once to log in, the problem is it no longer shows the red dot with the number of notifications waiting anymore. Here are the things I've tried.

Going to APPS in Settings and checking that "Show Notifications" is enabled, which it is.

Went to in-app Settings and Notification Settings (assuming that even has any effect on Logged out notifications I'm not sure if it does or not.) Still appears to be ok settings.

Other things I've tried:

Clearing FB app cache.

Clearing FB app data.

Unintalling FB app completely (including files left after uninstall)

Reinstalling FB app.

Clearing Cache from Recovery Mode.

Factory Reset from Recovery Mode.

None of which has fixed the problem.

Here are some details that may be useful:

Phone: ZTE ZMAX2 (z958)

Android OS Version: 5.1 Lollipop

Facebook App version: 180.0.0.35.82

I thought maybe FB broke something in one of their updates or something but everyone knows FB has next to nothing as far as support, they do have the "report a problem" on facebook but you always get an automated reply and never really know if your getting anywhere by reporting it. Also the developer email on google play but again with so many users I imagine the amount of support emails I doubt they are able to monitor them efficiently.

Anyone have any ideas whatsoever as to what the problem could be? Could it be an android setting somewhere that is blocking the apps logged out notifications? Or possibly app not syncing?

Any help would be appreciated.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Mancsyyy:
As some of my phone calls has low volume (especially in the evening, when I would talk a lot), I decided to use my Logitech BT headset.

It's much better, and a lot louder, so even the network is crappy sometimes, I can hear the other better during the call.

But the problem is that after a time (yesterday after 40 minutes, today after 18 minutes), the Vario II (with cooked WM6, Black Majik) simply drops my headset, and the sound returns to the earspeaker of the Vario II.

The headset works properly, so after the call I checked the comm manager and find that the Bluetooth module of the Vario II has been turned off, although I didn't touch the phone during the entire call.

What could be the problem? Has anyone a solution? Or a hotfix?

I wouldn't like to change my ROM, because then I cannot restore my MMS messages (I don't know a working solution to backing up and restoring MMS messages).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] csetera:
I have an SM-G950U1 that I switched from AT&T to Verizon today. My wireless signal strength appears to be MUCH worse at my house on Verizon than I was seeing on AT&T. In addition, I'm seeing much better signal strength on my wife's iPhone 8. Finally, I'm seeing much higher battery drain... likely due to the signal strength. My question is whether there is something that I might want to do in terms of settings/changes that might help me here?

Thanks,

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] csetera:
I spent some time with support today. It turns out that LTE/CDMA actually seems to work better in general. However, I still have terrible signal in the house. Are there any cheaper options than the $250 signal booster that actually work?

In addition, they suggested that a factory reset might help. I'm pretty skeptical that that would make any difference with the same firmware. Can anyone comment? I'm willing to do it (when I'm back from my upcoming trip), but only if it is worth the effort. Another option would be to switch to the Verizon version of the firmware, but I'd rather avoid the bloatware if it isn't going to help out.

Thanks again,
