Hi all

during without pc next to me. I’m using MacBook Pro to run windows 10 in virtual machine, but now the problem is appearing, how can I get my phone in edl mode and connect to windows? Cause normally, when I connect to MacBook, there’s options for me to choose connect to windows or Mac system. Please help.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] terlynn4:
Why do you need EDL mode? If you already unrooted and your phone is working, you shouldn't need MSM. That is mainly used to recover a bricked device.

To get in EDL mode, power off the phone and unplug from the computer. Hold down Vol+ and Vol- while you connect USB to computer. Keep holding both Vol buttons until it gets to EDL mode. I don't know about your virtual machine, you'll just have to look at settings and see if there are different options for how to handle USB devices.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Samuel Holland:
adb reboot edl

is my preferred way when possible. I also found on my windows computer I needed the non-64bit Qualcomm USB driver or my device would just reboot after going into EDL mode.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] allanm:
Having a little issue with my Mini S, I was driving a long with sat nav running and it locked up, not responsive at all.

So i soft reset the device and waited for it to reboot, however now it some times gets stuck on the boot loader and just displays the os details and hangs

(Current versions)

IPL 3.08

SPL 3.08

GSM 02.25.11

OS 2.26.10.2

I have also noticed that when its in this state the rom is not readable, if you try and flash the device with a new rom it will report the current rom as nothing, just says its blank, how ever you can flash the rom.

When it is working and you try and flash the rom it will bring up the version details, so im wondering if its not booting due to a hardware fault, any ideas on this ?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] jc83:
Ok folks, after a long wait my gray flip 3 and my wife's pink flip 3 will finally be in today! This is our first new phones since our current sammy S10s and I wanted to ask what may be silly questions but I need to be sure anyways. 😆 Seems like forever since we treated ourselves to a new phone so you can imagine our excitement 😊

1. Is it better to do a smart transfer (I believe thats what it is called?) taking majority of things from our S10 to z flip 3 or should I just do a clean start and fresh set up? I would re-download all apps and all that, maybe only bringing over contacts from old device but nothing else.

2. Should I immediately charge phones to 100% out of the box?

3. Our S10 has a Bixby button, I don't believe the z flip 3 utilizes this? I bought the BxActions app to assign different tasks to that button but I guess I no longer need that app since there is no Bixby button for the z lip 3?

Thank you in advance for any advice.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] D4rk4:
1. You can choose what you want to copy over. Easily limit it to just contacts and msgs etc.

2. I did and always do this before first use.

3. Long pressing the flip 3's power/fingerprint button is setup as the Bixby button as default. You can change this to regular boot menu though.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] BillyxAllen:
Using smart switch or a fresh start us person preference. I used it and it worked just fine.

I work directly with manufacturers in the phone industry. The batteries have already been charged to 100% before they were packed, so there is zero benefit to you charging it to 100%. It's been this way for years tbh.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] twistedumbrella:
1. The advantage to using Smart Switch / Google Backup is that after many years of it simply installing garbage semi-broken, they have finally gotten it to a point where it will restore apps and data rather effectively. Settings you may have long since forgotten will be available in some apps. Others, such as games, will still require you to log in and retrieve your data. Either way, it doesn't break things like the old days. If there is stuff you might want, it is easier to remove it than track it down if you are planning to wipe the other phone.

2. I don't work with manufacturers, but also don't feel they make good choices when it comes to batteries. Your phone will never arrive at 100% and the fact that they fully charge them is proof of why I don't feel they know about battery degradation. You should always store a battery at around 60% of the capacity. I also understand that Samsung and others only need to verify the battery will fully charge and don't care much about the life beyond the warranty period.

That said, I also feel you should run the initial charge down to where you normally plan to charge before charging it up. I'm not sure why the old practice of charging something when it first arrives is still circulating, but it doesn't provide any benefit. Making sure to discharge the battery, on the other hand, will speed up calibration.

3. BxActions is slowly being killed off because half of Samsung's features are just their version of someone else's app or mod. As of the Note 20 Ultra, Samsung began introducing their own settings panel for the "Bixby button" which has since replaced the power button as a combination tap, double tap, hold button. It allows you to use some generic defaults for double tap or can launch any app that way and allows setting Biby or the power menu to hold. On top of that, it also acts as the power button with a tap and the fingerprint reader with a touch. By the next generation, it will probably have its own screen, too.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feeling7:
Hi all,

Which ROM would you recommend to use for Galaxy S6?

I am still using SGS6 as a backup phone, it's getting slower and slower lately and I was thinking to install a different ROM or to do a factory reset, at the moment I am using a stock ROM,

I was thinking about:

- [ROM][04/11/2017] THE GLOBAL ELITE [Stable 4.1_fix][SM-G920/5/F/K/i/T/W8][Nougat 7.0]

- [ROM][G920/5] [12/5] XtreStoLite DeoMod Edition 3.3.1 MM [DPDP] [F/FD/I/T/W8/K/L/S]

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

thanks!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrNice:
I found your post as I was looking for another ROM, as LOS from here I am using has a bug regarding the call and loud speaker, see here and next posts.

I'll be interrested if you get an answer to your question.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feeling7:
I think I am gonna to test both ROM's on my own, cheers
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrNice:
Hi, did you try a new ROM?

Both of them in your first post are old and could have security issue.

I still am looking for another as I have issues;

- Multi boots, blockage when I reboot the device.

- Mic not working when speaker is on. Fix need to change system code.

- Can't send SMS, the circle is spinning continuously, the text is not sent.

I'd be happy to find a good ROM but maybe the best way is to reinstall the stock ROM and de-bloat it?

Thanks

[ASUS ZenFone 8] HyperCriSiS:
Hi,

I want to share how I recovered my Zenfone 8 from some really bad flashing, ending up with nothing more than fastboot access.

It is really simple:

Get ADB/Fastboot drivers, for example from here:

https://github.com/fawazahmed0/Latest-adb-fastboot-installer-for-windows

Downoad and extract this RAW image from ASUS:

https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/...06D-ASUS-99.1004.0404.82-1.1.31-9999-user.zip

Turn off your phone

Reboot to fastboot mode by pressing and holding the Volume Up and Power keys simultaneously

Connect your phone to the PC

Run the flashall_AFT.cmd from the extracted archive

When finished, reboot if not already done automatically

It could happen, that the system still won't start now, but don't worry, just wait it out.

After several reboots it will offer to do a factory reset. Do it and the system will boot properly afterwards.

Regards,

Hyper
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Blumi511:
Do you believe this could help with the ram dump issue?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] NisseGurra:
There is a newer raw out:

https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZS590KS/WW-ZS590KS-30.11.51.115-MR0-user_20210826-release.zip
[ASUS ZenFone 8] HyperCriSiS:
I have no idea, but I think it can't get worse by trying it.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Freak07:
Flashing the firmware (so called "RAW"-firmware) that allows one to turn back to A11 on the A12 beta page, should get back every device back to a working condition if the problem isn't hardware or extremely messed up in the few partitions that the raw doesn't flash. (y)
[ASUS ZenFone 8] TikiThePug:
I tried using this method to get back to stock from OmniROM, but after several reboots, the phone is stuck in fastboot mode. I tried booting normally and recovery mode, and it immediately goes back to fastboot mode. Any ideas?

/Edit: Got it to boot by flashing Lineage recovery, rebooting into it, and doing a factory reset from there.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] sndgsisnshs:
Thank you very much! This safed my phone! I stupidly flashed the boot image from a different build and wasn't able to boot. Only your flash.cmd worked! I hat to comment out the hardwareid check though, because mine was 0 somehow.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] amdpcman:
I guess I have terrible luck. My zf8 isnt getting detected on fastboot but is visible on ADB. Have a stupid issue with the playstore where it is throwing up the authentication error and isnt logging into anything. I thought ill flash the stock rom back but no joy. driver not found on device manager. :(
[ASUS ZenFone 8] HyperCriSiS:
This could also be just an issue with the fastboot drivers. Try reinstalling them, also clearing up orphaned devices in device manager could help.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] D0CT0RFATE:
This is a known issue with Windows 10 computers. They have some sort of signature check where even if you install the correct drivers, they don't really get "installed" because of this check. There is a workaround for this though, I'm not sure how.

However, if you have a Win 7, Vista / 8 PC, adb and fastboot will both work flawlessly with no hassles (experienced personally).
[ASUS ZenFone 8] HyperCriSiS:
Where do you get latest RAW links from?

I could not find them via Asus site.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Freak07:
A12 beta page. The firmware that allows you to go back to A11 :)

[ASUS ZenFone 8] Duky95:
Hi there,

Installed LineageOS 18.1 yesterday because my phone was having awkward moments, I want to go back to RAW stock, but I can't finalize the install.

I followed OP's instructions, but I never could find the flashall_AFT.cmd from the extracted archive.

Anyway, i managed to use LineageOS Recovery, but it requires signature at 47% , and when I press Yes, it says :

E:error: 21

Installing update...

E: Package is for product ASUS_I006D but expected sake.

Installation version

Installation tried : UL-I006D-ASUS-31.1004.0404.81-1.1.25-2111-user.zip.

When I tried WW-ZS590KS-30.11.51.115-MR0-user_20210826-release.zip, it required signature after 0.2 seconds, with following message :

E:footer is wrong

E:error: 21

Installing update...

E:Open failed: /metadata/ota: No such file or directory

E:Couldn't mount Metadata.

E:Failed to find update binary META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary.

I resetted before launching above operations, everytime.

What can I do to go back to Asus RAW Rom ?

Forward thanks and best regards.

EDIT : OK, found it, I just had to extract the .zip file. I thought I had to flash it like any image.

My bad.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] lvfmc85:
Thank you so much! You saved my phone! The only thing is that I couldn't find the flashall_AFT.cmd file in the new image, I had to use the WW-ZS590KS-30.11.51.115-MR0-user_20210826-release.zip, and it worked perfectly. After I flashed the boot.img trying to get root on android 12 several times, my phone was in a ram dump state.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] tyrodsouza:
Thanks! This helped me after I got into a ramdump situation. I flashed a rom and a boot image through the bootloader instead of fastboot and got things corrupted.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Babarecords:
On my Asus Zenfone 8, I upgraded from Lineage OS 18.1 to 19.1.

When I wanted to flash gapps and did a reboot into recovery, since then the device no longer works.

I can't get into recovery and I can't get into fastboot mode.

When I turn off the device and turn it on again, the following appears on the screen.

Waiting for flashing full ramdump...

PLS help me
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Adaoh:
Try holding all the buttons at once for like 30 seconds, it happened once to me, I was able to boot into twrp and flash the stock firmware from there. (the .zip OTA from asus, not the reset script, flash it like you would with a rom using adb sideload)
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Babarecords:
I do not use TWRP, but the Lineage OS Recovery. Should I still try your 30 second tip or is this only for TWRP devices ?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Adaoh:
It should still work yes
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Babarecords:
I'll give it a try and report back whether it works or not.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Babarecords:
Here's what happens to me with the 30 seconds trick.

As soon as I press the volume down and power button at the same time, the menu comes up again, where START, POWER off, Recovery mode and Restart bootloader comes and that within the 30 seconds 2 times when I hold down so long.

And what should I do now ?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Adaoh:
This screen is a good sign! It means your phone is most likely not completely f#cked and can be brought back to a working state

From the START POWER OFF etc menu, you should also be able to use the original instructions of this original post, which I would recommend since it flashes every partition manually. Also, the script might fail at deleting misc (it happened to me once) so when still in the START POWER OFF screen, run this command:

fastboot snapshot-update cancel

Also, please make sure to not let your phone completely discharge, as from what I have experienced, it does not charge when the ramdump screen is on, so if you let it die, it maybe not possible to wake it up again
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Babarecords:
Thanks for the info, glad it's not hopelessly lost.

I typed in your mentioned menu " fastboot snapshot-update cancel " in CMD but then comes the message " waiting for device " and also after 10min. Waiting nothing happens.

What should I do ?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Adaoh:
You could try running the command prompt as administrator, but you should try the script before, because it might work even without the fastboot command
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Babarecords:
Which script is it exactly ? What should I download ?

Is it about WW-ZS590KS-30.11.51.115-MR0-user_20210826-release_for_google and the " flashall_AFT.cmd " file inside ? Or what exactly is it about ?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] di$hwa$her:
Hi friend Baba, don't panic...your hp can stiil be restore to working state.

First, Make sure your hp battery is charge to approx 70% and above. Dont let the battery juice run out now or midway.

Press all 3 buttons simultaneously, Vol-Up , Vol-down, and Power buttons, until green START appears..then immediately let go of Power button only. Then let go of both Vol buttons. You should be able to navigate freely followings: green Start Power-Off, Recovery mode, and Bootloader.

If you can still perform above. You are good for next step. Power-off for now and charge battery fully first.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] di$hwa$her:
Part-2

While your hp battery is charging.

Download following 2 files:

Asus Zenfone8 Stockrom (Android-11)

WW-30.12.112.72 (2.96GB)

and

TWRP Recovery 3.6.1 for Zenfone8 Sake.

Download twrp-3.6.1_11-0-I006D.img

Download page for twrp-3.6.1_11-0-I006D.img

dl.twrp.me

Part-3

On your PC, make sure ADB and Fastboot and drivers are properly installed.

As previously, on your Zenfone8, press All 3 buttons simultaeously untill you see Green START...connect Zenfone8 via usb cable to PC

....on your PC, type

fastboot devices <---it should detect your hp.

then,

fastboot boot twrp-3.6.1.img <--your hp should auto reboot into TWRP recovery mode...

Can you can see TWRP recovery on your hp screen?

Part-4...
[ASUS ZenFone 8] di$hwa$her:
Part-4

Proceed at your own risk,

make sure to fully backup all the data in your hp before proceeding as following steps will wipe all data and re-format your internal storage !!

Inside TWRP Recovery-3.6.1

click, Wipe > Advanced Wipe > select followingw

Cache/Dalvik Cache

System

Data

Internal Storage

follow by,

Wipe > Reformat Data > yes

then

Reboot > Recovery

You may need to type on PC,

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot devices

fastboot boot twrp-3.6.1.img

Your handphone should auto reboot into TWRP recovery.

Part-5

In TWRP, select Install > select Storage

You should see your reformatted Internal Storage (128GB or 256GB). Go back to main menu of TWRP

With usb cable connected, on PC transfer

the downloaded Asus Zenfone8 stockrom android11 WW-30.12.112.72.zip to your hp folder /data

adb devices <---u shud see your hp

adb push WW-30.12.112.72.zip /data/

Transfer begins, and it takes awhile to fully tranfer 2.96GB to your hp ..dont interrupt tranfer, leave keyboard alone for now

Once done, verify tht the file WW-30.12.112.72.zip (2.96GB) is indeed inside your hp /data.

Install > browse to /data

Optional but recommnded step, in both your PC and HP,

md5sum WW-30.12.112.72.zip

Make sure files md5sum matches on both PC and HP.

Part-6...
[ASUS ZenFone 8] di$hwa$her:
Part-6

Make sure md5sum matches. Good, you are ready and about to clean-install Zenfone8 stockrom (Android-11)

Inside TWRP, click

Install > /data/

WW-30.12.112.72 (2.96GB)

Swipe to install...

Installation will take awhile 10-15mins...

Pay attention to which slot is installing..Slot-A or Slot-B ?

After instalation completed, probably shows some red errors..it's ok for now. You are going to switch to the other slot A/B and install.

Reboot > switch to the other Slot-A/B

Go back main menu,

Install > /data/

WW-30.12.112.72 (2.96GB)

Swipe to install.

Once completed installation, hopefully no more red errors now. Switch slot-A/B again, and install again for the 3rd time, as above. Hopefully no more red errors shown. Good you have successfullyy installed Zenfone8 Stockrom Android11 to BOTH Slot-A and Slot-B.

Part-7

Once installation completed for 3rd time, without any red errors shown,

Wipe > Cache/Dalvik Cache

Wipe > Re-format Data > yes <---tis will wipe clean Internal Storage including any transfered file eg. WW-30.12.112.72.zip (2.96GB)

Still in TWRP, clik Reboot > Recovery

It should now reboot to Zenfone8 Stock-recovery > then select Reboot to system.

Footnote: on the importance of Factory Reset

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Posted by xoner8:

Thanks for posting these steps! They worked perfectly. Only things different for me:

- I used version WW-30.12.112.82 (rather than .72)

- There were errors that prevented the first wipe actions from succeeding. The filesystem type had to be changed to ext4 before performing the wipe.

- The very final reboot didn't lead to a working phone; instead it went into the Asus recovery screen where I had to perform a factory reset. But then everything seems to work perfectly.

I had previously installed LineageOS which involved a custom vendor_boot.img too.

Thanks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While booting, You should see Zenfone bootanimation. First boot takes awhile longer.

Reboot to system again and Factory Reset. Reboot to system again, and you should be looking at your Zenfone8 like you did when you first took it out of the box and power-it on.

Good luck and all the best to you in restoring your device to factory Zenfone8 Stockrom Android11.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] di$hwa$her:
If it happened to your Zenfone8,

' Waiting for flashing full ramdump...'

And you know it is NOT due to any of followings:

- physical component(s) or hardware failure (eg. prolong overheating, overcharging battery for hours, etc.)

- hard-bricking by messing with partitions/files with root access

But rather due to, possibly after:

- magisk rooting, flashing custom recoveries boot.img , vendor-boot.

- running multiple resources-hungry apps concurrently, etc.

- operating in high- temperature (without deep-frying any hardwares.)

Then, i like to believe that the dreaded 'Waiting for flashing full ramdump...' issue is not without any causes, and it doesn't have to be persistent. Most likely, It can be resolved for good.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Adaoh:
Yep, either follow the Instructions of the original post or the instructions by di$hwa$her, whichever you feel the most comfortable doing. I would personally suggest you use the script with the flashall file as you just launch it and it will tell you when to reboot when it's done
[ASUS ZenFone 8] di$hwa$her:
Hi Adaoh,

Your other postings and comments has helped restore my zenfone8 from bootloops and ramdump on several mis-adventure with custom roms. Thank you.

Why not i use the comparetively easier method of disaster recovery by running the readymade .cmd or .sh script from Asus?

For the benefit of audience whose Zenfone8 is in a state of emergency, allow me to explain, it is because of my desktop PC....
[ASUS ZenFone 8] di$hwa$her:
With my zenfone8 system down, either bootlooping or waiting for full flash ramdump error..panic strikes in, try to stay calm. I turn to my PC for salvation.

My desktop PC, well, it is a muzium-worthy piece of antiqued hardware. A C2D pentium processor running x32-bit Linux OS. Problem is: my PC's ADB version (1.0.31 if not mistaken) doesn't support transfering large files, it is limited to 2-GB filesize max.

Now, if i were to run the readymade flashall.sh (or flashall.cmd for Wibdows) from my PC. i foresee that script will run into errors (on my PC) because some of the included files inside MRO.zip , for eg. Super.img is a very large file to transfer from PC to Zenfone8 automatically, well beyond the 2-GB limitation of my PC's ADB version.

Wait! Zenfone8 stockrom WW-30.12.112.72.zip is a 2.96 GB file, no?

Yes it is. That's when i found another thread in XDA with ADB version 1.0.32 wrapper available for x32-bit Linux. Thank goodness, bless that goodfella for sharing his masterpiece!! Now my PC can adb-transfer larger filesize > 3-GB from my PC to Zenfone8.

That is why i have to restore Zenfone8 manually step-by-step (as illustrated at length in previous comments above).

My PC specs (or the lack of it) doesn't allow me the luxury of running tht particular readymade script from Asus.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Babarecords:
I'm a little panic that the phone is broken, it was finally very expensive, today my Poco F4 GT arrived, which is to replace my Asus Zenfone 8, it is only used for gaming. The Zenfone I would like to have back in factory condition so I can then sell it.

The Zenfone is charged to at least 70% the same. I take care that the battery is not discharged, thank you for the info.

I will then follow your tip with the 3 buttons simultaneously press and the whole process, then I report again.

[ASUS ZenFone 8] Babarecords:
Thanks for the tips, I'll wait until the phone is fully charged then I'll give it a try and hope for the best.

No I can not see TWRP because I use the recovery of Lineage OS, I installed everything as recommended in the LOS wiki, not otherwise.
