Doing this quick update because today, when trying to root my phone, bricked it several times and lost all app info

If you are using android 7.11, this guide works fine: https://xdaforums.com/zenfone-3-zoom/how-to/how-to-root-zenfone-3-zoom-ze553kl-t3622256

If on android 8, SuperSU will brick your phone. Use Magisk instead:

- enable usb debug mode on your phone

- unlock bootloader

- plug phone into your computer

on your pc

- Download fastboot and adb:

* Windows: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip

* macos: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-darwin.zip

* linux: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-linux.zip

- download the latest Magisk unlock script from https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases and copy it to a MicroSD or USB that you can attach to your phone. Look for Magisk, not Magisk Manager

- download twrp v 3.1.0-0-Z01H-20170408: https://mega.nz/#F!p90wgAaY!l1JbJilmAUEKTKWu43pT9w?E81jQTCD (this is from https://mega.nz/#F!p90wgAaY!l1JbJilmAUEKTKWu43pT9w, as described in the old root guide using twrp + supersu. It is supposed to be safe)

- `adb reboot bootloader`

- `fastboot flash recovery <path to twrp image downloaded>`

- `fastboot reboot`

Right now, you should probably backup your phone.

back on your phone:

- before booting, press volume up on the bootloader, there, select Recovery. Using fastboot to reboot into recovery might cause the stock recovery image to reflash

- if prompted to enable system modifications, allow it.

- If prompted to decrypt your data in TWRP, use the PIN you setup. If it doesn't work, I can't guarantee you won't brick our phone. Feeling brave enough? In case of brick keep reading, it is easy to restore your phone to stock Android 8 using official firmware.

- press install, choose the device attached to your phone that has Magisk-xxx.zip and select it

- flash the image and it should be OK

In case of brick or unsuccessful flash from SuperSU and without backup:

- Don't panic, like I did today

- download the latest firmware from Asus: https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone-3-Zoom-ZE553KL/HelpDesk_BIOS/

- follow this guide: https://xdaforums.com/zenfone-3-zoom/how-to/manually-update-to-7-11-t3815703

- when the phone reboots, boot into recovery

- enable ADB sideload

- on your pc: `adb sideload <path to newest firmare>`

- now follow the root guide above before starting your phone

- ???

- profit

Note: commands using adb and fastboot assume you have put the contents from the downloaded platform tools in your PATH, else execute them from the directory in which they were extracted, for instance, on linux:

- `cd /home/$USER/Downloads`

- `unzip platform-tools-latest-linux.zip`

- `cd platform-tools`

- `./adb devices`

Bricked my phone.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Guides, News, & Discussion] gchamon:
in which step?

You should have access to fastboot, try the downgrade tutorial and install android 7 then imediately flash the latest image from ASUS
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Guides, News, & Discussion] anonymousbsb:
After the magisk install. It logged some "can't mount partition" errors, I tried to wipe, but do not worked.

It got stucked on Asus logo.

I did the unbrick tutorial.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Guides, News, & Discussion] gchamon:
This is strange. Magisk is supposed to patch the boot image and install its app (by the way, if you update magisk using the app, phone enters bootloop)

Anyway, I have encountered myself many problems when installing, but nothing like this. Bootloops and corruption message on bootloader yes, but I can't seem to recall anything about partitions not being mounted. If installing stock recovery image, boot image and system doesn't do the trick, in my experience it is either bad partitioning, although unlikely, because those procedures doesn't repartition anything, or bad internal storage.

But just to be sure, you should reflash stock 7.1 image (recovery, boot and system) with fastboot, enter stock recovery and wipe cache/factory reset. If your phone is physically healthy, this should work

Downgrade to 7.1.1 and try it again.

I can't really help you there. This guide is supposed to work for those who are able to unlock bootloader using official asus tools. Never heard of unofficial unlock methods. It is possible that you have a hardware problem if you use those tools and they just don't work.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Guides, News, & Discussion] koimr:
Have you used the latest official unlocking tool? I see there's a July 2019 version available.

If you are on an older version of Android (not Oreo) are you presently still getting OTA update prompts?

is it possible to root ZE553KL without loosing user application's data? I have unrooted device, wanted to migrate telegram secret chats to new phone. it is doable but with rooted smartphone only. if rooting process is destructive I cannot migrate. if rooting is doable with preserving installed applications along with their data then there is a hope for successful migration.

does this method look promising or it is just fake method?

As the subject says, I uninstalled pocket contact manager and now my keyboard is totally white but still has the characters on it???

I've tried installing different keyboard cabs and going into settings to change the keyboard to the new ones but it doesn't do anything and I'm left with the same white keyboard with no colour on it whatsoever.

I've even tried soft resetting it after selecting a new keyboard but nothing seems to work :(

Anyone got any ideas???

Thanks!

[Razer Phone 2 Questions & Answers] mitbit2k3:
I only get 25 mbps on either 2.4 or 5 GHz. On my laptop or Galaxy S10 I get my full 150 mbps. I've done a hard rest ( always do after a major update) without improvement.

I've toggled WiFi scanning and automatic turn on..... still slow.

Might a downgrade to Oreo remedy this? Is that even possible.....or would the global firmware work better?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Va2c:
Having the phone for over 3 weeks now and I've noticed in very low brightness (1-10%) that display is unevenly lit. Dark gradient on the right side. Visible especially if your view a dark grey solid colour.

Is this an OLED issue or do I have a defective panel?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] P12AV33N:
This is something related to DC dimming feature. Try disabling DC Dimming option in Display setting and check if you notice any difference.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Giocarro:
I experience the exact same issue... on my Pixel 3a XL.

Came here because I'm evaluating a new purchase, and the first post I read is about this problem.

Meh!
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Va2c:
I've tried that before posting here and it's still there. It's apparent when you use at night. Day time practically imperceptible.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Va2c:
I think since these are budget devices (relatively) with amoled screens they cut corners in QCC.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] P12AV33N:
Strange!

I only experience the exact same problem but only when the DC dimming is on, otherwise everything is fine even on the lowest brightness. (except ofcourse the smearing issue when scrolling through dark background on low brightness)
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Va2c:
That's an issue with all amoled screens
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] oliese:
Same here, I dont know if i should keep the phone, i like it a lot but this issue has left me dissapointed, i've bought two of them and both have the same problem

If it's any consolation then even the one plus 7 (just checked my friend's) has the same issue. The notch also affects screen around it.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] billinaz:
I tried to Pre order the new Galaxy Watch and found the $150 code I got for buying the Note 10 didnt work.

I chatted with Samsung and they said the code cannot be used on new products, only mobile accessories.

So they put a time limit of December on the code, then stop you from being able to use it on anything new.

What a scam.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] rcobourn:
The story my son got was that it couldn't be used on pre-order items. He was told he could use the credit on the new watch when released.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] billinaz:
Wouldnt be the first time they gave out bad info. Just have to wait till it gets released to see what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] billinaz:
Well, the watch was released today.

The code still does not work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] gottahavit:
Not defending Samsung , but it was stated in the details of the offer that the credit was on "selected" items. I used mine at checkout when I bought the phone and even then the list was VERY restricted. Fortunately I wanted the Galaxy watch 46mm so I used my 200 credit for that otherwise spending 200 on accessories was no deal
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] wepa:
Try it on website not the app I had this issue
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] jejunum:

My math assumed that I would get something I wanted or needed ... The pixel XL 3 that I had worked fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
I have nothing to complain about. Samsung gave me $600 to trade in my used Note 9, which I paid $400 for. Then they gave me a $200 credit for reserving my Note 10+ and preordering it. And I used that $200 towards preordering my Tab S6. Doesn't seem like a scam to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] gottahavit:
So you didnt want a note 10, you liked your pixel, so you paid 1000 dollars for a phone you didnt want in order to get a 150 dollar credit on a watch that wasnt released yet ?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] stu5797:
I love my Note 10 but I can definitely see that Samsung was a little shady here. That credit should be able to be used on anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] pcriz:
I think that's more of a it would've been nice situation. The details stipulated "select items". It's kind of on the consumer to make sure they read all the conditions with their purchase.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] stu5797:
Since you work for Samsung can you send me an active 2?

Would be much appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] pcriz:
Being an adult and actually reading when you make a large purchase makes me a Samsung shill?

Lord forbid a consumer make an informed choice and not throw "free money" away..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] DeeXii:
If you notice you can now use it on the Tab S6.

The Active 2 was on pre-order. I spoke with someone in the Executive response office and they confirmed that eventually, it will be able to be used with the Active 2.

I assume this will only change when the Active 1 is no longer on the site.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] ssgunner20:
Haha. Yup it said selected items. That's I why I said F it and got the active for like 10 bucks on top of other gift cards i had. The active is much better than my gear s3 which actually died. Sitting in my drawer wont turn on.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
You could always use it for the Tab S6. I used my $200 credit to preorder my Tab S6.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] billinaz:
Could be. Hopefully its before this thing expires in December.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] billinaz:
I looked at it. Im not a fan of that one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Oh man I love mine. I went a few years without a tablet, but last year picked up a Tab S4 ci was shocked by how much I used it. I sold it to pay for the Tab S6 and missed it quite a bit waiting for my Tab S6 to arrive. The keyboard with a built-in track pad is awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] billinaz:
Frustrating dealing with Samsung customer service. A prime example of why you have to go back several times to get a logical answer.

They said:

The $150 promo code was released during the release date of Note 10, the promo code would work only on the devices which were released before the release of note 10.

The note 10 promotion is to used for the items released earlier or released with the Note10/Note 10+ device.

Since Galaxy active watch 2 was launched after Note 10 it is not eligible.

When I asked why it works on the Tab S6 which was released after the Note 10, he went into limbo and never came back with an answer.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] lennie:
To you and to others who ordered the Tab S6, do you recommend it as a good tablet? Battery life, lag? Etc

The thing is my computer just literally gave up the ghost so I need something to hold me over until I build a new PC. I knew it was going to die soon...but not this soon. Sigh.

[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] PPPon:
Sorry for late reply. You need Dr. Clone for this. Somehow this is the only clone app I know that has a built-in multi-resume feature. That means you need to play games within Dr. Clone in order to play at the same time without pausing.

So far the two battery widgets I have installed don't do anything when I touch them. GSM Battery Monitor and Battery Bot. Any ideas?

Actually none of my widgets are working. Bluemail is the latest I installed and the widget doesn't do anything at all when I touch it. Long pressing to bring the menu up works fine, just single tapping does nothing.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] DelphinusMinor:
Anyone? Not a single widget works with a single tap. Long press works fine tho.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] DelphinusMinor:
Okay, I'm an idiot. I am not overly familiar with MIUI and forgot about permissions and autostarts. I needed to allow the apps to autostart and reboot for the changes to take effect. D'oh!

Scratch that. Only one widget(GSM Battery) works after doing that. Battery Bot, Bluemail and 1Weather still don't work after giving them perms and autostart.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] DelphinusMinor:
Okay, so in case anyone has been following this conversation with myself it seems sometimes the permission and autostart gets denied for some reason during reboots. I can live with that, I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] schlombie:
Hi guys,

I'm a little bit confused about the TWRP problem to mount encrypted data partition.

My Lineageos ROM and TWRP combination, I had the last years, were all encrypted and I had never problems decrypt data with TWRP and my password.

Now I switched to A5 and it's only possible to encrypt my phone or, to make backups with TWRP!

All threads I found about "can't found crytpo footer" or "can't decrypt /data" were the solution to format data. But I want to keep my encryption to keep my phone more secure! For remove the stock rom encrytion key, ok. But not for daily usage.

I'm on Lineageos 16 and TWRP 3.3.1. My A5 2017 is on the latest firmware A520FXXUBCSHB.

Please enlight me, may I sort something wrong, or something important has been changed on newer devices!

For me it looks like:

Encryption on = Data Encryption on + TWRP Backup off

Encryption off = Data Encryption off + TWRP Backup on

Is it possible to get both, encryption and TWRP backups? Or to get fix for TWRP?

[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
The single most dangerous fastboot command you can execute on a Moto device is fastboot erase all. This literally wipes all of the device partitions, including the /pds, /hob and /dhob partitions, which store your device's unique identifiers such as IMEI/MEID, ESN, Mac address, etc. If you did not back up these partitions prior to rrunning fastboot erase all, the data is forever gone. Because these partitions are sensitive and designated as protected by the bootloader, they can be extremely difficult to rewrite.

I wish my news could be more favorable. However, I have never seen a single Moto device recovered after a fastboot erase all command was run. Even by intentionally hard bricking your device by corrupting /sbl1, for example, thus forcing Qualcomm's EDL mode and an emergency firmware restoration, you still face the daunting obstacle of restoring your unique device ID partitions.

I believe that, other than a media player, custom ROM test device, etc., your Moto is toast. For your sake, I do hope that I'm wrong and that somebody more knowledgeable than myself can help you recover it. Good luck, and I sincerely hope your beloved Moto can be restored to fully working order.

For future reference, when flashing a stock firmware package via fastboot, it is rarely necessary to execute any type of fastboot format commands. Once you have flashed all files within the firmware package, the following fastboot erase commands will suffice:

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase customize

fastboot erase carrier

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot erase userdata

It should be noted that, by default, fastboot formats all pertinent partitions automatically while you are installing the firmware images via fastboot flash commands. For example, when you execute

fastboot flash system system.img_spars....

fastboot will first format the /system partition prior to installing the system sparsechunk images in the package.
