Last working state :

1. Android O version WW-15.0410.1803.55

2. Bootloader unofficial unlocked

3. Rooted with magisk

Reason for flashing :

Update to latest Oreo then re-root but flashing failed due to magisk not being uninstalled first

Current state :

1. Able to enter fastboot

2. Twrp is intact

3. Magisk uninstalled using twrp

Actions already taken :

1. Uninstall magisk via TWRP

2. Re-flash WW-15.0410.1803.55 via TWRP

3. Wipe dalvik/cache

4. Factory reset via twrp swipe

Still stuck in bootloop

I'm thinking of flashing Oreo stock recovery prior to reflash Oreo firmware via Asus flash tool. Found Oreo stock recovery image from 15.04.10.1711.6. Is this usable? (Edit : found suitable version and bunch of other versions, big thanks to Iceboy91 on following thread : https://xdaforums.com/zenfone-3/help/request-stock-recovery-boot-img-stock-t3763381 )

But before I do anything even more stupid, I need your advise on correct next moves, guys.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] vaibhavnarain11@gmail.com:
Flash raw oreo via Asus flash tool and all will be fine.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] sanctitude888:
Will Asus FT run properly on TWRP i/o stock recovery? Last time I did it booted to TWRP and I can't proceed. Kindly confirm if it's possible and I'll give it another try. I am left with another option which is flashing corresponding stock recovery and boot image.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] sanctitude888:
To save your time from trial and error recovering from similar problem, here's what I do.

Issues :

1. Flashing raw on stock with TWRP stuck on eternal 'unzip image'

2. Flashing raw on stock ROM with stock recovery and wipe data OFF was successfull but could not enter system (stuck on Asus logo with circling progress).

Also unable to enter stock recovery at this point.

Steps taken to recover from bootloop :

1. Flash corresponding recovery and boot image to replace TWRP (BE CAREFUL WITH SOFTWARE VERSION)

2. Firstly, flash basic Oreo RAW firmware which can only boot to fastboot found on this post : https://xdaforums.com/zenfone-3/how-to/updated-unlock-relock-bootloader-t3749456

3. Flash full RAW Oreo firmware found on the very same post mentioned on #2, but with WIPE DATA SELECTED.

Note : Step 2 might be skippable, up to you to try
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] Saktis_STi:
Hey :) ,

If you wanna upgrade to latest Oreo update, just follow these steps (most of the users did not report any kind of bootloop)

1) Flash stock recovery

2) Sideload the latest firmware .zip

3) Reboot and flash TWRP & Magisk ;)

Link for stock recovery/boot images by [MENTION=1813976]shakalaca[/MENTION] :

https://mega.nz/#F!lw02CLpA!hpetR2-Sec1F__gHPNRE9Q!E09B3BbA

If anything happens, RAW firmware is there for you ;)

Note: Do not remove/uninstall Magisk via TWRP. Flashing latest update will remove Magisk automatically. :)
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] sanctitude888:
Thanks for the tip, my problem has been solved, but better solution is certainly welcomed. Will do when caught in the same situation.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] asenler:
Here is what I do:

Skip automatic update and do it manually through TWRP.

First flash update then reinstall latest magisk in order within TWRP.

Reboot.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers] vaibhavnarain11@gmail.com:
AFT just needs working fastboot.

Flashing raw via aft will restore all stuff to stock state.

Twrp will be replaced by stock recovery too.

I wouldn't recommend flashing stock zip via twrp.

Another way to get back to. Stock is to replace twrp by stock recovery (after wiping data, cache, system). Then flash boot.img and finally use update via SD card option from the newly installed stock recovery.

Also you can take twrp backup of stock rom (system, data, boot) and restore whenever you want to go to stock (after wiping system, data and cache).

All methods tried and tested.

New to this forum. Hope it is in the right place. I tried to search for anything that matched and did not find anything similar. I have a Tocado 7.1 Android Chinese Headunit I purchased from ebay. My FM stopped working a while back. There is static but no stations attempt to come in. Search just runs through the whole dial and then starts over with no stations found. I have tested the antenna with the OEM radio and it does work correctly. I can get AM but it is not strong. I have tried to change the region to no avail. If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it.
[Android Head-Units] Presterin:
Do you have power injector adapter with the chinese head unit?
[Android Head-Units] kyjoe125:
I’m a noob. Not sure what that is.
[Android Head-Units] RogerClark:
I had a similar problem on my Subaru

I didn't realize that there is a small amplifier connected to the antenna (probably very close to the antenna, which in my case is part of the rear window on the tailgate).

This needs to be supplied with 12V otherwise you get hardly any (or no signal at all) down the cable from the antenna.

I bought a Subaru to ISO adapter kit, and one of the wires in the ISO plug is the antenna power. However my Xtrons unit, just has a wire from its ISO socket which doesn't connect to anything.

So no power was going to the antenna amplifier.

The solution is to connect the Accessory power going into the head-unit, to the antenna power wire.

Ideally connect it on the side of the fuse that connects to your head-unit, so that the power is then protected by the fuse.

Warning.

Make sure you are applying the Accessory power to the correct wire, and that your antenna amplifier requires 12V

What I had to do, was to reconnect my old CD / Radio unit, and measure the voltage on the pin for the antenna amplifier.

On my old CD / Radio unit, when I switched to the radio, 12V appeared on one of the pins on the plug into the back of the radio.

I double checked the pin on that Subaru radio plug, against a pinout I found on the internet, to confirm it was what people thought was the antenna power pin.

Once I was fairly certain that I knew which pin it was (and that the wire from the ISO socket on the xtrons ISO socket labeled something like "Auto Radio" was the same connection), I applied 12V to that pin via a amp meter (actually a multimeter on its millamp setting), and I confirmed it wasnt taking loads of current.

As I'm an electronics engineer I have several multimeters including the old style analog meters which have a needle. The analog ones are great for testing this sort of stuff, as you can see by briefly tapping the connection if its taking a lot of current or not.

In my case the meter hardly registered, as the antenna amplifier takes less than 50 milliamps.

Anyway, finally checked that the radio was now working on the new head unit (Xtrons GS PX5 Oreo), and it works working fine both on AM and FM.
[Android Head-Units] kyjoe125:
Thanks for the reply. I have a 2006 F 150. There is no amplifier on this vehicle. I should have shared that originally the radio worked fine. I usually just use the BT and stream music from Pandora. One day after several months, I decided to turn on the radio because I was in a dead zone. To my surprise, the FM just had static. Seek found no stations and I tried to manually tune to a known station and it did not come in. There is no change in the sound of the static when a station is at the setting. I also reconnected my OEM radio to the antenna to be sure it was not the antenna. It worked just fine.
[Android Head-Units] RogerClark:
OK.

I didn't think I my Subaru had antenna amplifier... But I does ;)

I am on the verge of giving up. I have tried everything I can. The phone is on 4.4.2

I tried towelroot, and that said the phone was unsupported. I tried TwerkyMyMoto, which did not work, after reading the thread apparaently it does not work in KitKat. I tried another one that I had faith in, closed the page so forgot what it was called, but the file that I got was "RAZRi_Root_Windows.zip" but after running it, I got the following...

i also cant root my device. tried installing TWRP without root, but without success. i tried all methods i could find for rooting - app based and fastboot based - nothing worked.

and help is really appreciated!
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sercari:
First you have to unlock the bootloader

and install TWRP and motoboot from fastboot

fastboot flash motoboot motoboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Then from TWRP you must mount the partition system and install RAZRiRoot2.zip

RAZRiRoot2.zip MD5: a60a6312f7ebac4ccc66f7503dbff089

TWRP-3.2.1-0-f2fs-Flashable.zip MD5: a95a8c0ce1a182af4d3c26f522b0db6c

motoboot.zip MD5: 4cc4f2c54914b939563cb3d37bbecb55

That's it

hey [MENTION=9645518]sercari[/MENTION],

thanks for trying to help, but it seems the recovery cant be installed without rooting (at least it doesnt work for me), im not sure about motoboot. anyway, the question is how to root the phone?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] RASTAVIPER:
Probably you didn't search enough.

There are many helpful topics here or at Oneplus forum for Amplify, Betterbatterystats or with guides for increased battery.
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] m0d hipp¥:
There are several very useful posts each individually spread around these forums; the purpose of this thread is to have a unified source so people don't have to look all over like I did. I know you initially posted on my thread when I had terrible battery drain issues; and after I posted the information you requested, I haven't heard anything from anyone so I had to troubleshoot and fix it on my own. I guess what I'm saying is, I just want to help others in case they run into a similar situation because it can be frustrating when you're seeking guidance or help and no one responds.

Leandroid app is responsible of a severe wakelock, I think is almost better not to have it? Any opinion?

Also, what about RILJ And RILJ_ACW_WL wakelocks? Are these safe to block?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] m0d hipp¥:
RILJ was safe to block on nougat and below, but in Oreo+ it will actually cause a lot of trouble with the system. The other wakelock you mentioned "RILJ_ACW_WL", I'm not familiar with. What I woudl recommend is do a full backup in your recovery, then make the change to observe what happens. If it messes things up you can recover from your backup.

Regarding Leandroid, I haven't really heard any concerns with it. There have been some responses of users that didn't find it to help any, but I haven't heard of it having an adverse affect.

Another app I haven't tried, but am tempted to try at some point is called Island: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.island

Also a thread about it here: http://xdaforums.com/android/-t3366295

[MENTION=2992008]xNAPx[/MENTION] - how is your SOT and your idle battery like? DO you use any 3rd party apps/tools to help with battery drain?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] xNAPx:
My SoT is dependent on the usage, night drain is less than 1% a hour even 0% sometimes, SoT is between 7 and 5 h

About those wakelock I've heard the same about RILJ on Oreo, about the other one I don't know but is heavy as well.

About Leandroid I'm not very convinced. It messes up with notification and now I have another big wakelock to worry about

Unable to End Google play services

i am unable to doze google play services since am already running doze mode+magisk modules(sysconfig patcher + enable doze moe for gms )

Still i can see play services in Running services:rolleyes:

Kind help needed :(
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] m0d hipp¥:
[MENTION=2992008]xNAPx[/MENTION] - do you have any custom settings or tools you use? Do you use Greenify?

What are the big wakelock issues that you have trouble with? Is it the one you mentioned "RILJ_ACW_WL" or other ones?

[MENTION=9087196]Anusha Rao[/MENTION] - Are you using doze mode within the Android system or 3rd party tools like I posted?

I don't think you want to use both magisk modules. As I mentioned in my post, I only use the sysconfig patcher. And make sure you reboot the phone after enabling that.

To check and see if google play services is being optimized for battery try going here:

Settings --> Apps --> Application List--> Google Play Services --> Battery

When I look at mine it shows 0m in use

0% battery usage

Battery Optimization:

Optimizing battery use

EDIT:

I'm posting screenshots of my googple play store and the google play services having battery optimization enabled and using 0% battery.

BTW, just so we're on the same page, you shouldn't completely "stop" google play services because it's essentially what drives the OS. Those services are important for letting your phone operate correctly. My thread is about optimizing those services not disabling/stopping them.

If you want to completely "freeze" certain apps and services you can try out that application I posted in my previous post called "Island". I'd be curious to hear how it works out.

Amplify tells me I need to root my device but I have Magisk installed...?
[OnePlus 3T Guides, News, & Discussion] m0d hipp¥:
I'm not familiar with the rom that you have "Dirty Unicorns". I use the stock ROM.

Most custom roms have root built in though so you might not even need to use magisk or super SU. You can check to see if there are any custom rom settings o maybe go into developer settings and see if you see a "Root" option.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] elkay:
Not my first rodeo on this.. running latest beta on my Essential Phone.

I just got a Pixel 2 XL tonight (refurb, was on May 8.1 when I booted it) and I was able to get into Android and toggle OEM unlocked. Did both normal and critical unlocks fine. Flashed latest P beta and after reboot I got a red text screen saying the device was corrupt (not the regular orange text bootloader warning message). Device booted to white Google logo screen with lock (in locked position). It rebooted on its own and same error messages, then got to Google white logo screen with the same lock and sat there for at least 15 minutes before I power cycled it. Same happened again. Went into recovery and factory reset. Same thing, stuck at white screen. Flashed back to 8.1 July update. Same 2 error messages on boot. Did the first short boot to white screen again and reboot again. Stuck at the white logo screen again on 8.1. Started the process over flashing latest P beta again. Same results.\

I should note that my Essential Phone never saw that red message even with leaving the bootloader unlocked, only the orange one. That phone is still working fine on latest beta. That also means I know my USB ports and USB cables are sound.

I'm totally stuck at white screen on boot no matter what I do after flashing. I can't even get 8.1 booting anymore. Flashing all seems to work for both P and 8.1, no errors. Tried a different USB cable and also different USB port. No luck. What's going on? Why can't I get this thing to boot at all past the logo now? Help!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] gjkrisa:
Most likley an issue with the boot.img if your doing flashall.bat make sure you have the newset adb/fastboot files

Does essential have a and b partition?

I know the pixels do and is part of the reason these roms are trickier.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] elkay:
Fixed it. Caused my own pain (sort of). Path to my platform-tools was changed to an old version (not sure what changed my path grrrrr).

Lucky of 2 things: 1) That I didn't blow out my bootloader and 2) Nothing else caused permanent partition issues.

Anyway, I would recommend anyone else that runs into this issue to be absolutely sure you're running the current version of the platform tools (*all* of them, not just fastboot.exe). Now my device just booted up and with only the usual orange message. Red message is gone. :)
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] RayOfDoom:
Hello everybody. After days of struggling with LGUP I finally managed to flash stock kdz file and boot my LG G6. However after booting I am welcomed with "Encryption unsuccessful" screen telling me that I need to wipe phone to use it. When I click wipe button it restarts itself and shows "erasing" but when that finishes it again shows me that same screen telling me to wipe it again. My bootloader is locked unfortunately, so I can't obviously flash TWRP or anything(I have unlock.bin but I can flash it because OEM unlock is not allowed in settings). I tried flashing with LGUP several more times with different kdz files, but when they succeed again same happens.

Also LGUP does not allow me to use "refurbish" flash mode(I can use only upgrade-so I can't erase the device), so if anyone has an idea how to wipe it off or something. I have feeling like recovery can't wipe it and because of that I always get that "encryption" error. I will post pictures for you to see. Many many thanks for any solution!
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] matthew33:
The very first step before you even thought about twrp since you already had the .bin file should have been to unlock bootloader.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] imsonica:
I had the same problem. What I did is use uppercat connecting the phone when it was in this screen to restart the process from the beginning.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] RayOfDoom:
Wait, uppercut would recognize phone when that screen is on, I thought phone must be in download mode for uppercut to work? And also just wondering why can't I wipe the phone, LGUP refurbish doesn't work, as far as I know storage must be formated to break that "encryption secure start up". Thanks for reply :o
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] imsonica:
In fact the screen is on in that specific encryption error.

In my case Uppercut was able to perform the operation, basically I stop the boot during encryption at first reboot and I had this error.

Thinking the TWRP recovery was able to fix it I installed it but the problem was still there. But with the TWRP on, the phone reset is not working, only way was to restart all the process, formatting the phone to be able to use it.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] RayOfDoom:
I was thinking that TWRP can rescue me since there is wipe option available, but I can't tick" allow OEM unlock " to unlock bootloader... So all I am left with is LGUP(uppercut) and stock recovery, and problem is I think none of them can wipe(reset) the phone. LGUP gives me error that "kdz file does not support refurbish flash"(no matter what kdz file I chose) and wipe in stock recovery simply does nothing. And BTW isn't Uppercut same as LGUP just with necessary .dll files so LGUP can work? Thanks
