[ASUS ZenFone 8] Adaoh:
Having the same issue, it says that it needs sake, but it gets lahaina. I saw a .txt file with board=sake inside it. Maybe changing that value will help, but I am too scared of writing things to bad partitions so I won't do it (Even though what is most likely going to happen is the flash will also fail because other things depend on that board=sake and just wont be found).
[ASUS ZenFone 8] argonautone:
I'm having trouble booting the current recovery for sake. I've tried LOS microG, and everything works fine. But I can't seem to get the recovery to sideload the latest .zip. Any suggestions?

P.S. if there was a microG version of this ROM, I'd be more inclined to use as a daily driver.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Androbots:
Hmm. Try this: flash this while you are in the bootloader (the one with START in green) https://downloads.statixos.com/12-SNOWCONE/sake/bootimages/boot-sake-SNOWCONE-20211101.img to the boot partition. From there, `fastboot reboot fastboot` and run the `fastboot update` command as usual. You should be all set. I did not see this coming, so will update instructions to flash one of the StatiX boot images beforehand.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Adaoh:
Ok, so if my understanding is good, what we should do:

Flash the latest firmware from Asus

plug-in the phone open a terminal/cmd, type

adb reboot bootloader

or shut down and press volume up + power

Type

fastboot flash boot boot-sake-blablabla...

(The file in the last comment)

Type

fastboot reboot fastboot

Type

fastboot update {rom file}.zip

Is this right?

EDIT: With this method, I actually got farther, but I got a bunch of other errors...
[ASUS ZenFone 8] thatguy222:
Those errors saying the archive does not contain certain files is fine. Let it finish, reboot. It will boot into LOS recovery saying there is not OS (or something). Format datsla (your only option). It will now reboot into Statix.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] thatguy222:
Loving the rom, @Androbots. Few things I noticed after installing:

- When finally get into Android each time you reboot you get an error messaging say something about an internal error. You can just press OK to get by it.

- Double tap to wake doesn't seem to work.

- Lift to wake doesn't seem to work.

- Greyscale feature doesn't work in Bedtime Mode

- Can we get eSIM functionality added?

Thanks!
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Androbots:
Those red arrows pointing to archive doesn’t contain xyz is harmless. Your steps seem to be fine so I’m slightly confused why you’re getting those errors at the end. Are you using the latest platform tools? I also see vendor_dlkm missing in there so that might point to you not having the latest platform tools. Can you check?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Androbots:
Thanks for trying StatiX out!

- I’ll look into it today hopefully

- ^^^

- Seems like Night light, extra dim and bedtime mode don’t work for some reason. Will look into it

- I don’t think sake supports eSIM? At least my variant has two physical SIM slots.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] thatguy222:
Thanks! You're right, mine (US variant) also has two SIMs. A Google search does not help clarify. Perhaps someone on stock firmware can check.

Also, I was wrong about lift to wake; it does work. I think it turned it self off a couple times, though. Not sure how that would be possible.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Adaoh:
It should be up to date. I am on the latest version of platform tools, as I updated everything the day before via apt (I am using PopOS, which is based on Ubuntu). I can retry on Fedora
[ASUS ZenFone 8] thatguy222:
When I try to set up the fingerprint reader, it just keeps saying Clean the Reader.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Androbots:
New update!

- Night Light, Extra Dim now work!

- Screen colors should be a LOT pleasing to the eye now.

- Headphone jack now works.

- Check Settings -> Gestures for some new stuff

- Added battery styles.

- You will now pass safetynet and be play store certified :)

- People moving from stock should have a better time flashing this now.

- Still working on improving haptics and UDFPS. Will take time so patience requested.

Wrong thread, you should create a main thread on the zenfone 8 forum to get help, this one is about StatixOS, a custom android 12 rom and so the discussion should be about statix, this way everything is organised and related :)
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Androbots:
Feb patch is up folks!

Changes mainly include our new Pixel based GMS. You would need to clean flash this one to make it work properly.

Hey guys. I'm on stock at the moment. Thinking of going to try this rom. How's the battery and performance compared to stock?

Thanks. If OP thinks my question is offending, please let me know I'll remove it.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] g00d_guy:
Is there a non-GMS version?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Androbots:

Okay, got it to work with flashing the 20211101 boot Image and changing the board in android-info.txt to sake :)
[ASUS ZenFone 8] saenta:
Hi @Androbots, I got your ROM installed, and its super fluid and stable so far!

Only problem I found is that File Transfer to PC is not working (and was this morning on stock ROM), I can switch from charging to File Transfer in settings, but nothing happens.

I attached a log, I've plugged the smartphone in for 2 times.

Thanks!
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Androbots:
MTP works here, not sure what could be causing problems 🤔
[ASUS ZenFone 8] saenta:
Stange, I will check with another computer at work tomorrow
[ASUS ZenFone 8] saenta:
I tried it on my work computer and it doesn't work, on another Notebook it is working, very strange... Maybe some faulty cables or something like that.

One more question, I have a Bowers and Wilkins PI4 in-ear that supports aptx-Adaptive, is this codec implemented in your ROM?

Overall no bugs so far, runs super smooth and better than stock!

Thank you very much for your great work!
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Hesselberg:
Rom is running very smoothly, but I get very bad battery life.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] tyrodsouza:
Hello. Just a question regarding the how to flash process. Does this not require any type of custom recovery? Wanted to clear these doubts since I have no recent experience regarding custom roms flashing. Thank you!
[ASUS ZenFone 8] tyrodsouza:
An update I'd like to share. I tried to install the rom using the steps provided but for some reason my device started showing the ramdump screen. I could access bootloader and the recovery but after flashing the boot image provided in one of links previously mentioned in the replies, I lost access to my stock recovery as well, thus putting the device in a state of bootloop. I managed to reinstall the stock firmware since the process was easy. Could someone explain what went wrong? 😬
[ASUS ZenFone 8] merautaluca14:

Hey guys, I'm finally writting here as I cannot manage ton install this rom what so ever!

I tried everything :

* Fastboot update rom.zip (on original stock .107 boot img)

* Fastboot Flash boot boot.img from latest staxis update

* Change androoid-info.txt to 'lahaina'

This is as far as I managed to go :

Edit : reinstall every instance/driver on laptop so that devices was detected in fastboot. Edit android info (maybe not necessary anymore) and flashed old boot IMG. Worked fine
[ASUS ZenFone 8] merautaluca14:
clean flash a11 stock then latest a11 stock then flash a12 stock, then follow instructions for this rom, and make sure your device doesen t have a password. PM me if you want.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Hollyca:
I'm using this rom since one week now and I must say I'm quite happy with it but I still see some stuff that can be improved or fixed.

It's blazing fast, has nice features, almost bug free and overall pleasing to use.

One bug I found is that in call volum is locked. And I get around 3h50 SOT which in my eyes is very poor. I will try to improve it by using battery tricks and try tuning everything but I felt I had to try the rom first as it is.

Thank you for the hardwork, I'm gonna continue using this rom, and maybe, hopefully in the future we will see improvements.

Hello, I can not flash the ROM. I can simply not drag and drop the ROM zip within the shell window. And when I try fastbot update "statix_sake..." command I have an error message "archive does not contain android-info.txt". I even flashed the vendor boot and boot img and tried again, same result. Can anyone help me ? I'm on windows 11 btw.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] sairajmote3@gmail.com:
Download required files

Download OTA package

Download vendor boot image

Download recovery

This is the process that I followed

-> reboot into fastboot

->

fastboot flash vendor_boot <vendor_boot image filename>.img

->

fastboot flash boot <recovery image filename>.img

-> manually enter into recovery mode from bootloader

-> format data

-> apply update

->

adb sideload <OTA package name>.zip

(this might fail at 47% with signature verification error. continue anyways)

after 2/2 steps are complete restart the device

[ASUS ZenFone 8] ibolito:
Thanks a lot, no matter what the phone wouldn't boot into the recovery, it ended up showing "your phone is corrupt and won't boot" message, so I flashed stock firmware again, I'll update it to the latest .72 update and will try the process from scratch as you mentioned.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ibolito:
Now I get * cannot read [file name.zip] * error message :( any clue ? My drivers and sdk tools are up to date as I can install Lineage OS without any problem. Also tried using terminal as an Admin, still same issue.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] sairajmote3@gmail.com:
is the file stored in the exact location where you are opening cmd?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ibolito:
yes, in the exact same location. I'm again flashing Lineage to be sure that this is not me messing up things.

EDIT : Yep, managed to install Lineage and Gapps without any problem, I don't understand where I'm wrong.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] sairajmote3@gmail.com:
are you able to flash vendor_boot and recovery?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ibolito:
yes I did install them both. Then after failing to sideload Statix I flashed the vendor_boot and recovery provided by Lineage on their page and successfully sideloaded Lineage 19. Before that I tried to sideload statix from their recovery too, just to try and see what happens, same error message.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] sairajmote3@gmail.com:
when side loading you drag n drop the package right?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ibolito:
No i'm typing adb sideload [file name.ZIP]
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ibolito:
Hello, I'm still stuck with the same problem. Instructions from 1st post don't work (file has no android-info-text) and adb sideload doesn't work either, and I can not drag and drop the file into the terminal window. Any help from anyone or the dev would be nice. thanks again
[ASUS ZenFone 8] zenaufa:
Have you tried to sideload it using Lineage Recovery?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ibolito:
Yes I did, same result same error message
[ASUS ZenFone 8] zenaufa:
That's weird.. you sure you're using 5.2 zip from this link? https://downloads.statixos.com/12-OFFICIAL/sake/
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ibolito:
Yes that's the one I'm using, I downloaded it several times from this link to make sure that the file was not corrupt or incomplete. Still getting the same errors. I was on stock Android 12 firmware, latest build (31.1010.0410.72).
[ASUS ZenFone 8] zenaufa:
try to rename the rom zip into "statix.zip"

and then open cmd in that folder and type "adb sideload statix.zip".

I'm curious if it's an issue due to long file name
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ibolito:
Already did, I tried everything that could came to mind before asking for help here. I really don't see what's going wrong here.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] dar12ek:
I had the same problem and I handled it like this

fastboot flash vendor_boot <vendor_boot image filename> .img

fastboot flash boot <boot image filename> .img

fastboot reboot recovery

data format

apply update

adb sideload <OTA package name> .zip

and it worked.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ibolito:
still getting the same * cannot read [filename.zip] * error. I start to think that the issue is Windows 11 maybe ?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] sairajmote3@gmail.com:
I don't think it's a windows 11 issue, it works for me with windows 11
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ibolito:
So I have no solution until the dev helps me out
[ASUS ZenFone 8] dar12ek:
I also have Win 11 and it works ok.

I understand that you have recovery installed. Place statix_sake-20220610-12-v5.2-OFFICIAL.zip in the folder platform-tools run the terminal in this folder

Run recovery Apply update - Apply from ADB

In adb sideload terminal and drag statix_sake-200 .......... zip It should work

if you get an error during the installation, try the installation again and wait a while - it takes a while.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ibolito:
I did it and I get the same error message. This time I achieved drag and drop which I couldn't do before. So I think the issue is me doing something wrong but what ? I try download the file again.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] dar12ek:
Do this in a cmd terminal, not a powershell I have this installed Windows Terminal Version: 1.13.11432.0
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ibolito:
same result, with Windows Terminal 1.13 and Powershell 7.2, I'm giving up but thanks a lot to you all for your help and patience, that's the power of the XDA community, thanks !
[ASUS ZenFone 8] DaemonDant:
For me in Windows 11 terminals I use ./abd {command} or ./fastboot {command} and everything works fine.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] dar12ek:
I also installed powershell and I do it like this

- adb devices

- adb reboot bootloader

fastboot reboot recovery

adb devices

Aplly Update

adb sideload

here the error crashes, I repeat the installation

I wait a few minutes

Format data

I restart my phone.

Maybe you can try because it's a really good rom.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ibolito:
GUYS !!! I managed to flash the ROM ! I switched windows user (although I was already on an Admin user) and tried again. And it worked ! Thanks yo everyone who struggled to help me, you're all awesome !! I can finally enjoy this ROM
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Hollyca:
Hey guys, has anyone managed to make Kirisakura Kernel work on this rom ? Does it work, any benefits ?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ibolito:
Hello after a few hours I'm in love with this ROM, kudos to the dev! I really have the feeling of using a Pixel device, it's great. Just one question to @Androbots : do you plan to add the Wi-Fi only toggle in the Quick settings? That would be great
[ASUS ZenFone 8] dar12ek:
I have a question whether you had an error during the installation or not
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ibolito:
No, no error at all the installation went surprisingly well
