[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] SagenKrieg:
First of all, i want to say i'm sorry to all of you.. especially for those who tried to help me by replying my thread. I'm sorry for being silent and not updating on you guys. I managed to figure it out the next day after i posted this thread before any of you replied and just kinda forget this thread- which is a bad thing to do. I'm sorry guys. I won't do that ever again. :rolleyes:

With that out of the way, i'm going to answer all of your replies

I tried that, it didn't work. Either reboot to system or bootloader, it just went back to TWRP.. with the "Keep System Read Only?" thing.. acting like i just installed TWRP for the first time. Even when i chose to turn off the device, it came back to TWRP.

As i specified in my first post, i can't get into fastboot. Totally stuck in TWRP.

Didn't try that one, because as i said i've figured it out the next morning.

Again, sorry for that :(

Here's what i did to fix the issue :

1. After some more searching in the next morning (literally the next morning, few minutes before i gone to school), i stumbled to this thread post : https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2522426

it says that if you "Put the phone under a strong light and longpress power and volume down, your phone will reboot in bootloader.".

So i tried that. I hold my phone right in front of my monitor, then hold the power and volume up to get into fastboot mode. And Voila, it worked. I get into fastboot without any problem whatsoever.

Somebody else also replied "Just hold the power and volume down for a long time and hold it in front of a bright light, something about the proximity sensor."

So.. yeah. Didn't really know how it worked out, but it worked. :silly:

2. After that, i just installed a different version of TWRP (This one specifically https://dl.wafuu.id/twrp/X00T/twrp-3.2.3-0-X00T-20181214.img which i got from someone in the telegram group) and just redo the HavocOS installing process. It went smooth, and i manage to boot the system without any problem.

Problem solved. Just like that. However, i think i know what was causing the issue.

When i was trying to install the GApps (before stuck in bootloop), i only managed to get to the part when i had to choose to either save my choices or not. After that it just went back to TWRP. I didn't know that it wasn't actually installed yet, because i thought it was installed already. Yep, that was my first time installing GApps and i actually never seen the entire installing process. The way i know that is when i installed it after the fix (after i installed a different TWRP) and then saw the "installing things" part. Silly me. :eek:

So i think that was the issue. It was because i used an older version of TWRP which i got from this thread https://xdaforums.com/asus-zenfone-max-pro-m1/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-x-t3787134 . Maybe GApps didn't support that version. I knew it was an old version of TWRP. Why i was using that version and not the latest one? Because when i tried to install the latest one from this thread https://xdaforums.com/asus-zenfone-max-pro-m1/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-3-2-3-0-t3888110 , it didn't work on my phone. It fails to detect my internal memory (0mb).

I think that's all i can say. Again, i'm sorry to all you guys for the late respond. Thank you for replying my thread and trying to help me. I hope this thread will eventually help someone who faced a similar problem to mine. :o

*Last but not least, Shout out to Dyruz from the telegram group who provided me the working TWRP and tried to help me as best as he can. I would've not fix the issue this because of him. Cheers!
