Hi! Any idea where I can find X00I rom? All the shortcut is not working.
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] :
Hope the dev will take back development of this soon, honestly.

Since i'm late to the party, i had scraped around the net and found something of interesting: the X00H's Lineage ROM has been preserved!

(sadly, i didn't saw anything for X00I)

According to Wayback Machine, you can explore the site's URL collection and find what you need (atleast by a small portion, sadly again):

you can check right here

Though, i must really really warn anyone of you on who wants to get their hands on modding their Asus phone (especially in this year and all of the tools needed, like TWRP and the LOS Recovery, became lost at the hands of time):

Don't flash the zip file by using the Pitch Black Recovery for the X00H!

Between playing around with installing the saved ROM via recovery and by disabling encryption (and of course, by unlocking the bootloader too firsthand and upgrading the device to the Android 9 Beta release), plus formatting the boot partition to Ext4 and formatting the Dalvik/Cache partition in order to work:

i'm currently stuck to the boot animation and there's nothing i could really do.

The Solutions? (don't 100% count on me, but i'm just speculating at this rate)

- Use ADB to flash your device's partitions (like boot, vendor, and system partitions- since cache partition is absent) via either a pc or a rooted device that has OTG support (either by using Termux or ADB & Fastboot Tools);

- Wait for some new dev to come up with a fresh new release of TWRP (for the X00H) or Lineage OS Recovery;

Sadly, i'm not proficient at developing Custom Recoveries nor ROMs myself, but:

Please, don't do my same mistake!
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] vanneSa@:
file not found..please re upload..X00I
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] vanneSa@:
thankyou bro..it's working
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] hinst0t:
can upload X00H please
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] :
check out my collection post.

You'll 100% find the LOS rom file for the X00H model archived over Wayback.

Note:

If you find the LOS recovery for the X00I, don't flash it on your X00H.

It should render the phone unbootable on recovery and redirect you to Fastboot/Bootloader mode. Worse case scenario would be a brick happening.

Extra note:

Only the X00H's ROM for Lineage got effectively preserved.

I'm sure flashing it on a X00I should make the phone refuse to boot at all since boot, system, and cache partitions got overwritten- that is, after unlocked the bootloader and flashed PBRP over the recovery partition

(yet, if the user tries to flash it w/ PBRP: the custom recovery will refuse to flash it because it's made for another model).

[Asus ZenFone 4 Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] FearfulII:
Got it installed! Only thing that isn't working is the fingerprint scanner/Home button. Looking to use softkeys to restore home button functionality, also looking for a Magisk image to use for root.

The sebaubuntu.dev link @miya0405 posted above seems to have a boot.img, wonder if that is indeed the magisk file
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] miya0405:
Finally got this to work. I also couldn't get the fingerprint button to work.

The recovery.img that Seba provided didn't seem to work for me and only TWRP 3.2.2. Then I updated the pie firmware and the Lineage firmware installed after that without any problems.
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] :
looks like the boot.img file offered on the site is a clean one.

I'm convinced Seba must have left it to be patchable via the magisk app, then patch via magisk (locally or via a secondary device), then flash it either via custom recovery or fastboot with another device for then obtaining root perms- just jumped on the bandwagon too

bug ? X00I
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Purplezigar:
I keep having an issue with root access on my X00I. I've installed magisk from PBRP via zip, and also by patching the boot.img with magisk and installing via fastboot (after wipes and reinstalls in between). Magisk says it's installed, but when I try to do something that needs root access, the whole phone freezes and I have to forcibly reboot. I'm using magisk 26.1. Anyone else run into this?
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] onegabriel:
Try installing Magisk the old way instead. Where did you obtain the .zip file? It works fine for me.

Oh, I see what you mean now. Magisk modules works fine, but when trying to modify system files the device freezes and there's nothing I could do about it. That happens in any ROMs I've tried on this devices including the stock ones.

Using the boot.img patch method does not work for this device.

Download the Magisk apk and rename the file extension from .apk to .zip, reboot to TWRP, flash it and reboot. After that, install the apk file and you should now have Magisk working.
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Purplezigar:
Sorry, I'm a little confused if you got it working or not. I grabbed magisk from the GitHub repo, renamed to .zip and flashed. Then installed the APK once booted up.

Sounds like you did the same and you're having the same issues. That's unfortunate, I was hoping to get a battery limiter working so I can leave it plugged in all the time.

Does anyone know where I can pie firmware

Can anyone help me to download the pie firmware for ZC554kl. I find nowhere I can download it as all the links are dead. Thx
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] DerivativeOfLog7:
Here are the official downloads: https://www.asus.com/supportonly/zenfone4_max_(zc554kl)/helpdesk_knowledge/

However, if you are on the very old Nougat firmware, you can't update further because N→O requires to first install a version that isn't available from that link (unless you happen to have an high enough N firmware by chanche)

Instead you can use this package that's an O firmware flashable from fastboot with the included batch/bash files (download both часть1 and часть2)

thanks, and I tried the above Asus link, but unfortunately ASUS removed all roms and I found no place to download firmware/rom from its website.

In fact, my x00ID device already installed with Oreo but I want to install lineage18.1 which requires pie (android 10) installed before I could flash the lineage18.1.

My problem now I don't have x00ID pie rom.

so, anywhere else I can download the pie rom for x00id(zc554kl) ? thanks
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] DerivativeOfLog7:
They were there when I did it! Did they remove it in the meantime?

[General Questions and Answers] droidzer1:
SMS Spam and text messages with trojans and viruses has gotten so bad that I have had to block all SMS except those in my contact list. I use 'Should I Answer' for the SMS blocking.

I get SMS text alerts from several banks with no problem (they normally have a 6 digit number). But one bank has no number and is only identified by what appears to be an email address.

Unfortunately a Contact list does not allow an alphabetical input in the phone number field of the contact list. I question how they can even send an SMS message without a number. I've tried asking the bank for help but they seem clueless about this.

Is there a way to determine what number is being used to send these alerts? I found a number they claim on their website is used for SMS but when entering it in the contact list it is still blocked. I can't get any alerts from that bank due to their use of an email address in place of a number. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy A21s Guides, News, & Discussion] cldkrs:
This is the root method I used on my A21s.

Must Have: Unlocked Bootloader.

YOU CAN FIND THE FIRMWARE YOU NEED ON SAMMOBILE OR FRIJA. SAMMOBILE WILL SEVERAL VERSIONS FOR YOUR DEVICE, FRIJA WILL ONLY HAVE THE LATEST VERSION.

1. Download the firmware for your device.

2.Load Zarchiver from playstore.

3.Open Zarchiver and locate the firmware you downloaded.

4.Click on the firmware, a menu will appear at the bottom. You will then have option to extract.

5. The only file we need is .AP

6.Click on AP file and rename AP_xxx.md5 to AP_.tar so your just highlighting the file and removing md5 so it only says .tar at the end.

7.Once you have renamed AP file click and again you will be given the option to extract. Once extracted, locate boot.img.lz4

8.Then extract boot.img.lz4 leaving you with boot.img

9.You should have Magisk manager installed on device. Use Magisk to patch the boot.img. once patched locate magisk_patched.img and rename to boot.img

10.Return to Zarchiver locate the patched boot.img and compress to boot.tar.

11. Move compressed boot.tar to computer and rename to boot.img.tar

12.Put device in download mode, open odin 3.14.4 and put the boot.img.tar in AP and click start. Once odin says pass, your device will boot to stock recovery and you will have to do a factory reset so save anything you need before doing this.

13.once device boots reinstall Magisk manager and follow prompts. You should now have a rooted device.

Have Fun.

[Samsung Galaxy A21s Guides, News, & Discussion] Jbazt_katuforzs:
Since you stressed that need an unlock boot loader device, you can include links of tutorials how unlock the boot loader or how to tell if our bootloader is unlocked. Is it as simple as toggling "OEM UNLOCK" in developer settings? A21s runs Android 10. What version of magisk you recommend to download and to flash? Pics? Screenshots? Videos?

You said magisk manager should be installed in the device to patch the boot, isn't the app will say magisk not installed when we open the manager app? Or we need to do this step using another phone thats rooted with magisk installed?
