[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] ArkFord:
Need help - there was a Google Chrome issue earlier that made it crash or not work on ASUS devices apparently (you can google "Zenfone Max Pro M1 Chrome" for the issue)

I followed the steps outlined by the Google representative to do:

Open your device's Settings app. Tap Apps & notifications.

Tap Chrome. If you don't see it, first tap See all apps or App info.

In the overflow menu, tap Uninstall updates.

Open the Play store and update Chrome.

However, my Phone froze a few minutes after step 3 Uninstall updates, and so I had to hard shutdown. However after booting again, it is now merely stuck in the Zenfone logo, and does not go past it at all. It isn't stuck in the ASUS logo beforehand but it's definitely bootlooping (Just stays in the animated Zenfone logo nonstop).

To give more info, my phone is not rooted nor does it have custom rom/recovery. However it is able to load fastboot and the stock ASUS recovery mode (Power + Volume Up and Power + Volume Down respectively). Any advice on how I can fix this without wiping data/factory reset (or if I have to, how can I backup my data beforehand)
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] RedGreenBlue123:
Go to recovery mode, select sideload option, on computer, install adb, open cmd and type "adb sideload "C:\Path\to\zipfile". The zip file must be version you running. After done, reboot phone.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] ArkFord:
Thanks for the response, will give it a try when I can.

I have the same problem. Tried uninstalling chrome and this problem happened. I am unable to follow the solution suggested above. Would someone be kind enough to direct me to detailed guide/instructions. Would i be able to recover my data?

Thanks
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] RedGreenBlue123:
What is the problem that makes you unable to do that?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] rahi20:
Sorry, i didn't mean to offend. I am have to admit that i need a kind of hand holding with detailed instructions at every step.

As per solution provided above, i am able to go to recovery mode and after that i don't know what to do and how to do. For example.. From where i can install adb and where do i find the zip file and how do i find out which version i need. Do i need to connect my phone to computer all the time? Do i run adb sideload command on my computer?

Sorry for being noob but i am technological handicapped. Mobile repair centres are suggesting to factory reset but that would result in data loss. Would you be kind enough to help me.

Regards

I have gone through one post regarding ADB and its installation. I have done the installation.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] midhun.akd:
1. Just Download Stock rom from asus site ( your current version )

2. copy to external memory card

3. Go to recovery mode

4. click update via external storage

5. slect your zip

6. flash

Personally Tested Method ?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] rahi20:
I got the version number from my recovery screen. I am downloading it right now. I hope the above method doesn't wipe my data. OR does it???

[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] midhun.akd:
In my case there was no problem bro, But i dont know, Hope well in your case, Please ask senior members more.

---------- Post added at 06:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 PM ----------

please search more about This in xda.

in my case i cant get any working Method without unlocking bootloader ( that means data wipe ) so i took the risk and finally succeed without data wipe. currently my device is BL unlocked and running a Custom Rom
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] rahi20:
After lots of reading of the different detailed posts, finally mustered all courage. Connected my phone which is in recovery mode and with 'adb devices' it returned the 'List of devices' only and not my phone details. I further, tried running command adb sideload "zip file" as suggested above but it returned the following error:

C:\Users\Ossn\Desktop\adbtools>adb sideload UL-ASUS_X00T-WW-16.2017.2004.063-user.zip

adb: sideload connection failed: no devices/emulators found

adb: trying pre-KitKat sideload method...

adb: pre-KitKat sideload ULconnection failed: no devices/emulators found

Checked my device manager and there is not yellow exclamation sign. I am running Windows 10 Enterprise edition. (I checked adb with my other working phone and it worked).

How do i solve this.. I am at my wits end now...

Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 not booting

Hello,

I'm facing the same problem as described. Initially the Chrome crashed along with Gmail. I just deleted some Cache for chrome and few other application.s After restarting, it did not boot, just got stuck to the Asus icon with four colored balls moving vertically.

After going in recovery mode it shows an error as ''couldn't load bitmap fill_ball..error -7 Supported API: 3.

If anyone could help in this with detailed steps would be highly obliged . It has paralysed me for all ongoing activities.

How do you copy zip without os / twrp?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] midhun.akd:
In my case i can enter to stock recovery, Then i flashed stock zip ( from asus site)

Zip downloaded from pc and copied to Sd card

*sorry for bad english
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] rahi20:
As you suggested, i tried again with the same result:

adb: sideload connection failed: no devices/emulators found

adb: trying pre-KitKat sideload method...

adb: pre-KitKat sideload ULconnection failed: no devices/emulators found

PS: when i connect my phone in recovery, the device manager shows LeMobile Android Device and under that shows Android ADB Recovery Interface. I hope that means all the usb drivers are okay and my computer recognize my android phone but still adb sideload command give the above error.

I am running out of patience now as i have been struggling with this for 3 days and by tomorrow morning i would be needing my phone. So I have to factory reset and lose all my data which is depressing.

Regards
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] Tianhe:
In recovery mode type "fastboot devices" and see if your phone is listed. (Also, try using CMD from platform tools instead of Minimal ADB and see if it helps)

Further, do you have access to Windows 7 ? Some people have reported errors on Windows 10 but they have been successful on Windows 7 + USB 2.0
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] rahi20:
No my phone is not listed on executing 'fastboot devices' and i am trying running cmd from platform tools.

Is it so? Unfortunately i don't have access to Windows 7.

But thanks anyway for pitching in.

Regards
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] Tianhe:
If your phone is not listed in fastboot devices (or adb devices although that works when you are booted to system) then the phone is probably not being recognized by PC.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] midhun.akd:
if you are going to factory reset, try my method
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] rahi20:
Yes. I did try that at a last resort but after verification of zip file, it threw some error and aborted. Then i had enough and i choose factor reset. Now setting up everything.

Thanks for all the help..

PS: is there any utility to backup my data and contacts/messages from this phone.

Regards
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] RedGreenBlue123:
Use google account to backup contacts. Use partition backup app to backup data (u cant use 056 data for 061, etc)

DT78 Reverse Engineering

I was able to decode the BLE packets sent to and from the watch and connect it to an ESP32 board

I have the firmware but I don't know how to edit

Sorry, I'm a new user so i can't post links

Are there any substitution sync applications instead of wearfit or wearfit2.0 for DT78 ?

[Other SmartWatches] Fbiego:
DT78 App

I made an alternative app for android

available on my github

github.com/fbiego/DT78-App-Android
[Other SmartWatches] coolpixs4:
Cool, thank you for your app...I like it.

I will try and give you feeb back. Hope it will available soon on play store, and it will defeat the wearfit and wearfit2.0 to be the best app for DT78/DT92.

However, it seems very difficult to auto establish the connection and reconnecting...after disconnected

EDIT:

So kool...Download DT78-App-Android v1.8

I like the simple look UI of your app, light weight but powerfull

However, it seems that the connection did not stable

Let's me use it for few days and feed back again.
[Other SmartWatches] coolpixs4:
V.1.8 connection unstable, please check...
[Other SmartWatches] coolpixs4:
Dear Fbiego, SAVE MY WATCH...please

Can you make a video to guide us how to update firmware of DT78 by OTA?

My watch's firmware version is v6.06. Which version of your watch?

I saw on youtube some watches have firmware version v8.02

Thanks!

EDIT:

Unluckily,

The version v8.05 is not compatible with my watch. Now, the screen is shifted upward and inversed screen. Anyone can help me, please?

I need v6.06 to back to the original. Huhuhu...
[Other SmartWatches] Fbiego:
I don't know how the firmware can be reverted. I got the firmware v8.05 in a zip file which also included 2 more .bin files

C23_804_capacitive_hynitron_cst816s_update.bin

C23_test_20200402_1819.bin

Not sure if these are firmware files
[Other SmartWatches] coolpixs4:
Which version is showed on your watch before and after ? Did you OTA without any troubles? And where do you got the firmware?

Thanks

In product specifications description advertisements it is said that OTA is supported but now they refuse to support.
[Other SmartWatches] coolpixs4:
It is fully death after flash this file C23_test_20200402_1819.bin

No longer turn it on

I'm looking for the solution of JTag jump
[Other SmartWatches] Fbiego:
I got the firmware from russian forum 4pda.ru, I have not updated my firmware using the files as it requires an iPhone.

I currently have v8.02 on the watch
[Other SmartWatches] coolpixs4:
Already bought another, ...

I recommend that

DO NOT OTA update firmware

for this watch since it has nothing changes except that the version number code: v6.05, v6.06, v6.09, v8.02, v8.04, v8.05 ....even v12.01

All the Chinese smart band's firmware is not interchangeable ... even in the same model code.
[Other SmartWatches] coolpixs4:
Dear Fbiego,

Can you add this function to next update of DT78-App ?. It auto re-connect BLE device if the connection is broken (Wearfit2.0 can do this-for example if we move the watch far from the phone- the connection break, however then if the watch moves back again close to the phone the connection will auto re-connect)

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34425662/android-auto-reconnect-ble-devices

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44446587/automatic-connecting-to-a-ble-device-android

What this does is if our device is disconnected it will keep on trying to connect to it until a connection is established.

else if (newState == BluetoothProfile.STATE_DISCONNECTED) {
intentAction = ACTION_DISCONNECTED;

DeviceActivity.runOnUI(() -> {

sharedPreferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getApplicationContext());

String name_dev_1 = sharedPreferences.getString("Dev_1", null) ;

connectToDevice(name_dev_1);

disconnectGattServer();
});
}
}
[Other SmartWatches] Fbiego:
Auto re-connect has been there, the reconnection is not immediate as it depends on the phone's scanning interval.

Please note that it may not work if Bluetooth is turned off intentionally or when the app stops due to error 133
[Other SmartWatches] galaxys:
Good to know that it's there. cheers
[Other SmartWatches] RobDC:
Great app, uses a lot less power compared to wearfit 😊

Is there a way to send watchfaces to the watch?

And maybe add watchfaces?

Thanks 👍🏻😊
[Other SmartWatches] coolpixs4:
Watch faces are hardcode in the firmware, recently there aren't have the solution to add more watch-face to DT78 (except the three additional option can be changed thru the sync-app)

View attachment 5179859

These three watch-faces also cann't be modified thru the sync-app. Default it is available in the firmware, but not showed-up on the watch; It is only activated by calling the active code thru the sync-app
[Other SmartWatches] Fbiego:
I dumped data from the SPI flash chip and found watch faces but the format is unknown.

Using RGB8, I get discolored images. 0xFF (white) gives bluish color on the watch

Hello ....

(first of all.. sorry about my poor english)

I recently boutght this watch, and found this amazing thread. But i am little confused.

At fbiego github page, i found (apparently) the latest version of de APK, but in this version i can't set correctly the icon for the app notificacion (it allowme only set the "sms" icon)

But, 1.8 version looks like a better version.

Am i downloading a wrong version?

Thanks a lot

Hello Everyone,

I am facing some Issue with my device after updating to 10.3.3 from Open Beta 6.

After get backed to stable version of 10.3.3 I can't see any Emoji, & any type of others don't (without English). It's very irritating. (I haved attached a screenshot)

Hey guys, I'll be buying a used Kaiser sometime this week, is there anything in particular I should be checking to see if it works?

Just want to be sure not to get a fake (if its possible)/ defective unit.

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kareeem:
I've yet to see a phony Kaiser so if it's new, you should be good to go. If it's used, check everything like the sound, camera, sliding mechanism, etc.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
Don't forget to check the USB port

As well as the USB port functionality both for charging and with Activesync (but then 'everthing' as mentioned, includes this). I saw someone recently who bought one secondhand and the USB port was faulty. My advise to the o/p is it's risky business unless you really know what you're looking for.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rajm11:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Dust2Dust:
If you don't mind the device being branded I would go for the T-Mobile MDA Vario III (kais130). The Dpad is sturdier and I find it look better in silver. The letters T-mobile and MDA peel off very easy, that's if you want them away. Slightly scratch them away with a scalpel or other extreme sharp knife, leaving no marks at all. I did it and posted pics somewhere... here

For whatever reason OnePlus removed the 10.5.8 update from their server. Therefore we can't patch to boot img.

The steps I took were

1. Patch 10.5.6 boot the img in fastboot

2. Reboot into system setup magisk

3. Reboot again in fastboot

4. Boot magisk patched img

5. Go into magisk and install and choose direct install

6. Profit with a 10.5.8 device without the wifi/gps/Bluetooth issues.

Thought I'd share my experience as I bought second hand and it had the latest update and couldn't find the download link to the full system update.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Might want to mention which Magisk, the known problem with Canary?

Also why patch 10.5.6 and not 8
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
He dont have the 10.5.8.full rom to extract and patch the img

So he probably patch the 10.5.6 img , he just boot it temporary on fastboot , going to magisk ,installing magisk and when he's rebooting , he's on 10.5.8 rooted..

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Can't you get it from the updater?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] cultofluna:
Not if you have already updated via the OTA..

He probably got the OTA ( full zip) install it and then boot it..

If you've updated via local upgrade , then the full ROM zip has been saved on internal storage ...

But the easiest way to update and keep root is to just take the ota through the updater..dont reboot go to magisk manager , install magisk on inactive slot , ...done...

Patched img only needed to root after unlocking bootloader ..

Not anymore....

Recently, I reverted to stock oreo only to go back to PE again. Since then, I have been wondering if it's causing some of my issues. Camera quality with gcam isn't what it used to be, the network indicator in the status bar shows no bars but I can get and receive calls, random wakeup's while the phone is in my pocket and performance issues on my keyboard(sometimes I press the keys but there's no response).

What are your guys thoughts? Should I have had updated to latest version before going to PE?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] KevMetal:
if you go from oreo to 10 and back again you need to restore your persist partition or it will be corrupted and give you problems with everything from wifi to camera to compass

so either go to stock rom android 10 or restore your persist or go to Pe and stay there .. I've explained this to another guy like a day ago with links so just search for that post because I'm too lazy to repeat it again

I found your reply on the pixel experience forum, page 48. From there, I have flashed persidtgood.zip file using sky hawk recovery. After, I rebooted thrice. My camera and WiFi have seen some improvement but not my sim network. Anyway, do you think I should flash the latest PE now or go back to stock android 10 using edl mode and then go back to PE May 24 update..
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] KevMetal:
return to stock with edl mode if everything is not 100% but if everything is working well now you can proceed with any custom rom
