tnx for this thread

2 questions

after this i can update rom manually with copy in root folder

is there any video guide for this convert ?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Updates will be the same as having an unlocked bootloader. Move it to /sdcard/ and reboot.

No video guides. It is harder to copy text shown in a video than from the text itself.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
I am aware some of the original links have "expired" (or been removed by the original owners). Fortunately, I made sure to download all but one of the firmware locally and will be uploading them to AndroidFileHost to avoid them getting lost again.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] thieftime1980:
is it worth changing the version from WW to CN?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Unless you are in China, no.

one question

after conver if i modified build prob and add ww to country file fingerprint sensor works normal or could be have problem?

Hello My Friend how to unlock bootloader whiteout Asus Unlock Device tool, i can't use this app but my basband has broken
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
There is no need to move the question to a second thread because you didn't get an answer fast enough where you already asked.

Repair your ASUS ROG Phone 5 with EDL mode

If your phone can only enter EDL mode (9008 mode) this firmware is glad to help you. It can be flashed in through the miflash tool. The firmware is made through the official package...

[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Jamshid66:
Do you have a problem with me? I just wanted to ask my question in the appropriate typic
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
This isn't the appropriate topic. That's the point. You broke the baseband doing an EDL repair and already asked there. This thread is for flashing raw firmware, which assumes a working and unlocked bootloader. I updated the name to avoid any confusion.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] SirFreshSpawn:
So if i do all this stuff and change from CN to WW will i still get the "Hardwaresub Services" popup or is that only if you dont unlock bootloader and change your raw firmware
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Yes. You have to change the country. This is only really for restoring from CN to CN or WW to WW.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] SirFreshSpawn:
Is the "Hardwaresub Services" popup always on the screen/always pops up or is it just a little message in the background when you slide the notification tile down on the phone
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
I don't know. Mine arrived with WW. There seem to be more issues than just a notification, so I don't know that trying to decide if you can deal with it is the best option.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] ChrisMills83:
Hello! I am trying to follow this guide, but I appear to be having an issue with drivers in Windows 10 not properly recognizing my phone. When I follow these instructions I get to where it says to "execute the flash_raw/all for your OS" and command prompt stops, saying "< waiting for any device >" and when I check under my device manager it shows my phone in "other devices > Android" with a little ! in an orange triangle.

I downloaded the drivers found here and did what Andrologic suggested here, but I get the same result. The only thing I did different was boot to safe mode with networking, but I don't know if this matters. As far as cables go, I've tried one USB-C to USB-A on all by laptop's USB ports and I have this same issue. When I try the OEM cable to a Thunderbolt port nothing shows up at all. I'm going to try a second and third USB-C to USB-A cable, but otherwise I am stuck.

Help!
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Are you using the side port?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] ChrisMills83:
Sorry, I didn't say that specifically, but yes I did. I followed the instructions exactly. I also did try the bottom port, but got literally nothing showing up on my computer.

I don't know if it is helpful to know or not, but I was able to ADB into the bootloader originally.

Thanks for such a quick reply!

[Update]

Played around with it some more and it not cable-related. Oddly, too, when booted normally and connected via USB for file transfer it recognizes the phone in device manager as it shows up under portable devices > ROG Phone 5s Pro, but when it is in the bootloader it no longer recognizes it and I get the Android <!> thing.

[Update 2]

I got it going. The solution that I found via this page says to go to Windows Update > View optional updates and there were three Asus specific drivers waiting there. Downloaded them and rebooted and it is flashing as I write this.

Thanks for the help!

OHello guys! I've been thinking about going back to Android 11, for compatibility with twrp and other apps that aren't with 12 yet. I also believe it's better optimized for battery and performance. Anyone out there using 11 on 5S to give an opinion?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] RicoMartins:
Vou To enjoy para incluir a questão do suporte do Android 12 for 11 da Asus para que eu possa usar esse método? Tenho bootloader desbloqueado e root no magisk?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
This is for the 5 (not S), but use the official downgrade package from Asus before trying to flash raw firmware.

The optimization is considerably better on Android 12, but only if you keep Android 12 stock.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] RicoMartins:
OK! obrigado! Já estou de volta ao 11, pode be just impression mas estou mais satisfeito com o problema da bateria e esquentando, talvez seja por ser 5S, mas no final... usei o arquivo da Asus mesmo assim.

Hi Mr Twisted Umbrella :D

I Appreciate your response. I think there is a misunderstanding. I offered a donation for someone to create a guide for ROG phone 6, which can be posted on XDA so hundreds of others can benefit as well. Sorry if it sounded like i wanted to pay someone to do my work.

I have already read through all of the forums that i have spammed (apologies again) and also the link you just sent above. All of them are written for ROG 5 and 5S. All the batch files and etc reference ROG phone 5 and 5S, hence why i wasnt sure whether i am safe to use the exact same guide and files with my ROG Phone 6.

I didnt want to brick a brand new rog phone 6. hence why I asked for help here, apologies if it came off the wrong way.

Any help would be appreciated.

ROG Phone 6 discussion is continued in the thread above.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Let's be realistic. After Asus released the 5 with a ton of issues, buried them under releasing the 5S with almost no improvements at all, and now rushed out the 6 claiming it's everything they wanted a gaming phone to be and still haven't even gotten the firmware ironed out on the 5... I'm out.

Sir Umbrella, do you have any thoughts or guesses based on past experience on when we would be able to get RAW files for rog 6 ? i assume thats when the conversion from CN to Global will become possible?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Probably not. Those files are for a restore and were here long before the files needed for a conversion. I did not convert and had no part in the guide.

ASUS removed all updates for 5/5s from their website.

Did you have WW 229 (android 13)? Or what is the latest firmware in the RAW format?

:(
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] monoxian:
@Independ_Alex

From a neighbouring thread I found a user uploaded WW 221 here: https://pixeldrain.com/u/Ge42NM1N

I'm trying to scavenge all the remaining download links for Rog5/s WW firmware files since download links are gone from the Asus website.

For Android 11, I have WW 81, 85 and 100 (personally).

For Android 12, many are available here: https://firmwarepanda.com/asus-rog-phone-5-zs673ks-firmware/

For Android 13, the only link I have is the WW 221 from above.

Very crappy move from Asus to remove all download links... The mods on their zentalk forums are just as useless.

Here is a link to the most recent RAW firmwares for ROG 5s + RAW firmware for ROG 5 i could find, Its RAW firmwares of Android 12, it allows you to update straight to Android 13 (33.0210.0210.221. I have attached .226, .229 and a link of an attachment to .235 as well. To update to .235 you have to first update to .226 from .221 and then you update to .229 and then you can update to .235. Note: RAW firmware can be flashed without unlock bootloader. I have also included the ROG5S edl repair archive, it has android 11 CN and WW firmware + ENG firmware and all the files you need to repair rog phone 5s + ROG5 edl repair archive is also included and i have also attached ASUS Android usb drivers for flashing in bootloader mode.

EDIT: I have added a MEGA link containing firmwares, OTAs and custom rom for ROG 5/5S.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fhsieh:
What would you do if your Touch Pro LCD looked like this?

:eek:

First things first: the LCD is still fully functional, no broken pixels or the "shattered LCD" bug in TF3d. The "distortion" does not appear under all lighting conditions --- it's actually impossible to see in areas with high contrast lighting (ie: lots of bright and dark areas such as daylight or most rooms), but becomes quite visible in flat/even lighting (like a bathroom or narrow hallway).

The distortion shifts in response to relatively heavy pressure, but always returns to the same "shape" as seen in the picture.

I am using the included screen protector, but I have removed it to confirm it is a problem with the LCD and not the protector.

I'm tempted to say that this has happened suddenly, but given that I've been using my TPro in anything but flat/even lighting conditions, I can't say for sure; I only happened to spot it by chance today. And just to be clear, I haven't dropped the unit, gotten it wet, or anything drastic like that. It's an expensive gadget! (And all the more reason something like this bugs me :()

For reference, my unit is:

Model RAPH100

S/N HT833K...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] graham.hughes:
Have you been moving between warm and cold environments? I'm wondering if it's condensed moisture inside the cover. I'd keep it somewhere warm and dry overnight, see if it's different.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] akash_nu:
Lucky me, just had a quick look at my screen & its all good... :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] adolfotregosa:
that seams something between the lcd and the screen protector
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farsquidge:
That my friend is a result of high pressure damage. Its actually between the Touch sensitive layer and the LCD screen.

It could have been caused at anytime but is usually a result of carrying in a pocket, tight trousers or sitting down and compressing the phone, especially in a car seat.

It's something that many suffer from on many brands of touch screen phones but never really notice until screen touch sensitivity becomes erratic in certain screen areas.

Difficult one to prove it was from supplier or damaged by user so only way to RMA it (if you want to) is if you have had it less than a week.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fhsieh:
Nope, nothing out of the ordinary. I had thought about condensation too, but nothing seems to indicate that it would be the culprit.

I guess that's what I'm afraid of, although for the life of me I can't believe I would've put my TPro through high pressure damage. Sure I carry it in my pocket, but we're talking about loose-fitting jeans, and only the front pocket (I would never dream of pitting it in the back pocket).

Sadly I've had it for much longer than a week, so I suppose all I can do is hope that it doesn't get worse. :(
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Thundarr The Barbarian:
Nahh, know the most likely way of getting high pressure damage like that? Pushing too hard on the screen when applying the screen protector, trying to force all of the bubbles out. I've seen people use those little squeegees or a credit card or something, forcing down on the screen so hard and trying to move the bubbles to the outside... Usually it's dust under the screen protector that causes the bubbles, and a user on here gave me a tip to use double sided tape on the back of the screen protector where it's bubbling to remove the dirt/dust. Be careful when applying those, they can be a pain, but force won't help.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Thundarr The Barbarian:
By the way, that's a kick ass picture, must be a nice camera or you're quite the photographer. Look closely at the distortion, not to try to make it seem worse but it looks really cool in the pic, I'm surprised you were able to catch that. Now, back to mourning... :(
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] adamdon89:
Looks like this is happening to people with the Diamond too:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=428262
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fhsieh:
Good point, although in my case I imagine it would have happened when I first got my TPro and applied the screen protector, and not a whole month later. :rolleyes:

Both, though I wouldn't really call myself a pro photographer. :p But I do have a bit of an eye for detail, which is why this is bugging me.

Does anyone know specifically which component is causing the abberation? The LCD still seems to work just fine so I imagine it's just the touch-resistive layer, and if that's the case I might consider replacing it myself. I have no problems working with electronics -- the only real concern I have is breaking the VOID sticker. :rolleyes: But I'm in no hurry, I'm just trying to see what options there are.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fhsieh:
Thanks for the link. It might be good to keep user experiences together since the Diamond and Pro (for all intents and purposes) have the same screen.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the Diamond and Pro HTC's first devices to have flush-mounted displays (instead of recessed)? Is it maybe a problem that HTC just has a design flaw?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] victoradjei:
This oil patch problem was also seen in the O2 Atom. I returned mine and had a replacement. Many others returned theirs. t is highly likely a manufacturing deffect. The Atom was also a VGA screen :eek: May be linked to the technology in small screens. Just return your faulty units.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] etenx500:
Dont yas think that is the screen protector. Try to strip it off and have a look at the screen of the HTC itself again
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] fhsieh:
First post ↓

Did you return it via your reseller or directly through HTC? I've already had my TPro for well over a week so I can't return it to my reseller without a restocking fee (nevermind paying for international shipping), and I'm dubious as to how HTC America will handle a device imported from UK.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] TomasNM:
I have same "oil spot" under the touch layer on my Himalaya. I don't knowmhow it appears,but I know,that appears after 1 year apx. Anyway the touchscreen is working without problem. It is just a cosmetic fault. Anyway,try to replace it by your vendor.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rb14:
You sure it's not a manta ray wallpaper?

Sorry.

My other half had this on the Diamond. We sent it back under warranty and it got lost in the post. Some fool hadn't sent it registered. Thank goodness for insurance policies.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farsquidge:
I agree with the screen protector but don't discount the pocket problem out of hand!

How many cracked screens have you seen from applying a screen protector?

I've seen two screens cracked on different devices from been crushed in peoples pockets! ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Thundarr The Barbarian:
Well, I think cracks most times are from a hard impact (walking into the corner of a table with the phone in your pocket, or maybe carrying a huge subwoofer for your new home theater system and letting it slide down so the corner hits your thigh right where your phone is)... I've done both of those. But something like we're seeing here is not from a single impact, but from constant pressure for a certain length of time. That's why I discount the pocket theory in my mind, I don't think a single impact could do this, but a constant pressure sure as hell could. Either way, he said it just showed up a month after first use, so I don't know if it could be from the screen protector.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Farsquidge:
Yeah,

It comes down to the fact that it is a delicate piece of tech and should not be treated as a cigarette packet or similar really..

They need to bring out the 'Tough Book' version for Xtreme users! :o
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Thundarr The Barbarian:
Haha the Samsung Rugby is out for AT&T now, their first military spec phone for impact, moisture, dust, temperature etcetc.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] victoradjei:
O2 Atom was made by a different company called .....Quanta or such. They did not have an agent in europe, so I sent it to them in Hong Kong through someone on this forum. A total stranger, but he was very helpful. Went by DHL to him and he sent it to Atom agent who just exchanged it on the spot because they already knew about the issue. Then he also courriered the replacement back to me. There are good guys around here so find one, send him your device plus other expenses, and wait :rolleyes:

I cannot help as I re-located from europe to a land where the TP is still not available ;)

Sprint TP Oily Spot

So, I noticed the spot on my TP & was frantically reading here for a solution. Since there doesn't seem to be a sure way to replace the screen under quality issues (of which I believe is the problem), I thought I would post how I got a new TP out of the ordeal.

1) Brought phone to Sprint stating there's an oily spot.

2) Sprint Rep stated they would have the tech place it under the "heater" (for free) believing it was moisture.

3) When I went back to collect my phone, the screen cover was not fully glued back on, more importantly, the "heater" created 2 large white spots in the center of the screen.

4) Tech decided to replace entire device.

So, not a sure or very fair way to replace your device. However, I believe this is a quality issue that is not being addressed & I hope this helps someone.

I had a company issued tilt & later mogul after going Sprint, anyway, I treated those phones like company issued phones & never had a problem. Therefore, I would have to agree this must have to do with VGA screens and is probably similar to the 02's issue.

Final note: the Rep also stated that Sprint would replace the lcd for roughly $53.00. I thought this was a very reasonable price & was expecting to do so before the "heater" got to it. I have to say, it was nice of the tech to try & fix it.
