[Asus ZenFone 4 Max Questions & Answers] KixxTheManz:
Anyone have this problem and solved it? I have an ASUS Zenfone Max Plus M1 (ZB570TL ) - (X018D) and i have tried every Rom you can think of from WW to CTC to CN, also tried dump firmware but nothing will stick and let this device actually fully boot up after flashing it, it just goes to the POWERED BY ANDROID screen and after 30 secs it will reboot itself back to the POWERED BY ANDROID screen and then reboot again and so on..

HOLDING VOL+ and POWER buttons in gets me to the:

- RECOVERY MODE - Just reboots back to Powered by Android screen and back to bootloop, no android guy recovery...

- FASTBOOT - Lets me have Fastboot but i cant flash anything or unlock bootloader as it errors and shows its Locked...

- NORMAL BOOT - Just reboots back to the Powered by Android and then reboots after 30 secs right back there....

There is no RECOVERY MODE that i can Factory Reset, Update.zip, clear cache...

I Flashed with SP Flashtool over 20 Firmwares and all finish with the popup Finished and green checkmark and i watch the flash process all the way without error, unplug the device and turn it on and back to Powered by Android screen and reboots itself after 30 secs... THIS IS CRAZY its like its a GAG Phone or something just messing with me like ( Jokes on you big guy ) ive never seen anything like it, its like the locked bootloader is telling the device not to allow any Firmware to install by tricking the SP Flashtool that yes it did install but didnt allow it to write to the actual system or let you get into recovery mode to factory reset the device or update from sdcard... im just wondering if its a waste of time to bother finding a UFI Box flasher that doesnt need the dongle so i could try flashing the EMMC files if that would help or not... its not a hardware problem or it wouldnt accept flashing or let it power on and enter fastboot mode....

Is this a GAG Device or has anyone actually had this exact problem and has solved it? If i could just get it to boot up into the system i could use Magisk and make a patched-boot.img thats unlocked bootloader and root but theres no ZenUI or anything but the Powered by Android screen....

Any Help would be awesome as i just put new screen, battery, back cover and buttons on this device thinking it would be a good little phone for my daughter... i cant even get any info on the device as theres no box or sticker with IMEI or Serial Number or info on the last working Firmware its all a shot in the dark... Anyways if anyone has the way to get this device working or has backup rom or links to an actual way thats not ASUS as they are just waste of time for 30 mins then you need to take it in to our service center and pay more money and im done putting money in this and could have bought her a new phone for what ive got into this Gag Phone....

Thankz...... Kixx

Judging from the whole situation, you screwed up several things honestly.

The fact it goes stuck on the splash screen and refuses to neither boot on recovery nor the system itself seems to tell 2 things:

the boot.img and recovery.img got screwed up way too much- or literally got flashed for the wrong device, hence the whole rejection to boot;

i assume SP Flashtool, even if got tricked, got a bit of a mess on the internal partitions to be flashed thru. Sounds like a big red flag because ADB can be highly of help (i don't own an X01BD but an X00HD- still an asus device- but i used simple ADB instead of things like QFIL or SP Flashtool to get things going);

On second point, if you wanna try to unlock the bootloader (since fastboot is the only one to be alive and usable- this means your device will be salvageable...atleast by a significant chunk):

you can give it an attempt by checking over my own collection post.

There you will find at the bottom some tiny guide on how to unlock the bootloader-

if you don't have a secondary rooted device, you can always rely using a laptop or pc.

What really matters is that you'll have ADB downloaded on your machine, because it could be of help to progress thru with the stuff.

After unlocked the bootloader, you can slowly approach to flash TWRP for your own device- even tho, it seems nobody so far has done anything for this specific model...

Atleast, on the bright side, unlocking the bootloader will give you the chance to flash manually the partitions via ADB, and maybe the official zendesk site for it can help if unpacking one of the update zips and see the contents inside- or generally pushing the following .zip update file via ADB and wait for the magic to happen.

I'm not sure on how to help with the region tho.

I guess, if you have the box of the device, it could give you a clue if it is a WW (WorldWide), CN (China), JP (Japan), etc. model- afterall, these letters do not lay around without a reason.

Of course, if you flash the wrong region to the wrong regional model:

then the recovery and system partitions get to screw up big time, just like the scenario you're having right now.

As a last thing, the patched boot.img file only gets to work after you got android to work-

otherwise, patching the pre-rooted boot.img file will be of no use since a functioning ROM isn't there at all.

Sadly, i don't own the device nor never had such screw-ups of this kind, but i hope it will help you up.
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max Questions & Answers] KixxTheManz:
Ya i can flash the firmware correctly in SP Flashtool it comes back with green checkmark, all the firmware is for the correct device, its just when i had it given to me it had broken screen and bad battery, so i buy new screen, battery, backcover for it and when i booted it up it just sticks on the first screen shown ( Powered by Android ) then after like 30 secs it reboots back to that screen.. I can hold the vol + and power and get the menu to pick RECOVERY or FASTBOOT or REBOOT, recovery just reboots to powered by android screen then reboots after 30 secs, fastboot lets me use adb and fastboot but cant flash it says failed locked, and fastboot oen unlock or any of the commands to do with unlocking or flashing just gets me failed locked, but fastboot does work. Only way to root or unlock bootloader the device needs full boot into system so i can enable adb debugging or usb debug in developer settings so the computer will let the device get past the failed error locked part....

Do you know how to get the usb debugging turned on so the computer can grant full access to the device then il be able to actually crack into it and flash through fastboot..

Or where the usb debugging file is in the system.img if i extract it, use text editor and give the bool a yes that its been accepted then repack the system,img and flash it usinh sp flashtools, then i might ge able yo get it up and running....

After flashing all kinds of firmware for this device they all pass the flashing except for a few of them, ones that dont work wont even let the device boot to show system thing, then flashing correct firmware it allows the first screen again and the menu to pick fastboot but wont fully boot up..

Im thinking there must be somekind of lock the device put on from letting you oem unlock bootloader or booting into recovery mode because the firmware is working or it wouldnt take it using SP Flash Tools or even let it boot up as it would either reboot instantly or not even turn on, if the boot partition or recovery partition was courupt or broken or damaged it wouldnt take it during the flashing process it would fail....

If you know how i can activate the usb in developer settings from a file in system.img file after ectracting it then thats prob my BEST OPTION OR BUY A USED MOTHERBOATD OFF EBAY...

Lol
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max Questions & Answers] Deleted member 12324997:
Well, as far as i can tell and did unlock 2 asus devices of the same model (still, X00HD):

i didn't needed to go thru android, since Asus never had an "OEM Unlock" thing to enable once unlocked dev settings-

yet, i'm speaking about the X00HD since, again, i never owned an X01BD, but i am trying to apply the same reasoning even if it is an entire different model but still same brand.

Dunno, in my case i was able to get the bootloader unlocked by going getvar all and got the secret key to unlock it just as easily by experimenting and finding cmds to use over this device's forum in here while being in Fastboot mode.

Before stepping my feet to Fastboot, tho, i even tried to get my hands at an OEM Unlocker apk made by Asus:

but to no avail it only worked on devices with really old firmware and since my device was updated to the latest Oreo FW, it was impossible to perform since things got patched overtime.

Sadly, i really don't know how to modify values over system.img files myself and tick up variables by inspecting over hex editors and such.

Least i know is getting the Brotli binaries and some other specific tool on GitHub to extract stuff from Android .img files, but that's all my skills really get limited to since i'm no dev myself nor either someone who can reverse engineer things just as well.

I think you could be out of luck on that regard.

Only thing that remains is going to a particular mode where it is required putting the phone apart and touch 2 specific pins on the board to enter it.

I currently forgot the name of this mode, but i do know by fact it's a common thing between Huawei devices.

If even this thingie won't help, then i really dunno myself.

Maybe someone else could be of help instead of me lol.
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max Questions & Answers] KixxTheManz:
Ya ill try touching the two pins but what two oins and touch them with whst? Give me a roll out on what to do, i just dont understand why it accepts firmware but wont let me boot up into it or recovery mode or flash anything because at first it flashes then when it completes it fails and says remote unknown locked
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max Questions & Answers] KixxTheManz:
Also im going to try find a way to format or partition the main system partitions maybe the system.img is landing on a different section of the harddrive... just need tge partitions for thus device
[Asus ZenFone 4 Max Questions & Answers] Deleted member 12324997:
Aight, to start with: i'll share out a couple of links.

First, here's a picture on where the testpoints of the device are.

As of second, you need some tweezers or something that is able to touch such testpoints inside the board (unrelated, but the GH page to PotatoNV has a guide what to do with the testpoints- even tho, the page redirects you to a tool that only works with Huawei devices. Don't test it on that asus device.).

Not sure about the flashing tool, honestly, but i do know for a fact i couldn't share software in here due to rules of this forum.

Since this is, i suppose, a device with a Qualcomm SoC:

maybe you could use stuff like QFIL Flash Tool for the job (dunno about partitions, for that you should get some linux knowledge- since android uses the linux kernel to communicate with everything inside the device).

Also, i've got something intriguing right now:

apparently the forum for the X01BD effectively exists over XDA lol (turns out the X01BD is a Zenfone Max Plus M2 and not an M1).

Maybe you can check out here for further custom ROMs and recoveries, plus more proper help on the matter- as of firmware dumps, you could try hopping over Android FileHost, firmware.mobi, or steep your feet into some unknown forum that has the firmware dumps of this specific device and restore it logically (or simply doing a google search by doing [insert model number here] firmware dump - if google only gets you to shady sites, stick to the XDA forum on the device).
[General Questions and Answers] Vuillaume:
Dear Forum,

I am currently using a Nokia E51 and will be getting the HTC Touch HD in the next few days. As I have been a Nokia user for the last 5 years I am unsure of the best way to get my contacts to the HTC. Until now I had no problems as it is easy to transfer Nokia to Nokia. What should I do? I have no Outlook on my PC and the only other place I have my contacts at the moment is on ovi.com (a Nokia website to sync your mobile)

Any suggestions (for instance software) would be most welcome.

Thank you for your patience and any help on this matter.
[General Questions and Answers] Junner2003:
Simple!

Go to your CONTACTS in your Nokia. Then OPTIONS - SELECT - SELECT ALL

Then copy all to your SD card. They will be saved as standard vCards which then can be easily opened and saved in your WM device.

Downside:

You will have to open and save each single one but still better than having to type in everything again!
[General Questions and Answers] hotrod101:
If you have Microsoft Outlook you can import all your VCards to outlook and then all you have to do is Syncronize your device with outlook on your computer. May save some steps or at least make it easier
[General Questions and Answers] kidnamedAlbert:
what about saving to SIM card and then delete them once their in your phone?
[General Questions and Answers] Vuillaume:
Thanks for all the help guys :)

I'll try first with the sim card. I didn't think of that because I am so used to having those old ones where you could only save 1 phone number per name. I acquired an umts card (sorry, am german, not sure if it's called the same in the u.k.) only recently. If that fails, then SD card and a nice train journey while I open/save each contact :)

Outlook I don't have, so I'll look into getting that maybe, but I remember it being quite pricy as a stand alone product
[General Questions and Answers] kapul4:
Greetings, I have a problem with constant wakelocks on my MI11i phone since the day I bought it. Those wakelocks drain battery by 30% overnight, but also cause increased drain during the day in standby too since they instantly kick in as soon as the phone is locked, overall resulting in poor battery life. Even thou I am not an advanced user and has no need of it, I went so far that I completely factory reset the phone(this was the 2nd time), then reflashed new recovery and new official ROM to see will that sort the issue, then for a good measure I also rooted it with TWRP and Magisk. I tried underclocking the cpu to the lowest but it makes no difference while in standby since obviously that isn't the case. I tried using icebox but there were no processes that had SNS or RMNET in their names, so I just froze some analytics apps. Both wakelocks are gone as soon as I turn on the airplane mode or switch to wifi. Any app that can help me freeze those or edit something in kernel?
[General Questions and Answers] kapul4:
I found a rom that fixes the wakelock, listed here https://miuiflash.com/roms/miui-csx/alioth/miui-csx-v13-0-8-0-stable-alioth

But i couldn't find a way to contact the author for more info can i fix the kernel myself

Hi @KonstaT ,

Thanks for your work!

1. Maybe it's a lame question, but what about Netflix? Can it run with at least in 1080p?

2. I don't have atm any wireless remote/mouse/etc. Is there any app for my phone that I can use to navigate in the menus/apps on the Android/AndroidTV roms?
[Raspberry Pi Original Development] KonstaT:
1. Due to Widevine L3 video playback is capped at standard definition on apps that provide DRM protected content.

2. You need input device of some sort of course. Mouse/keyboard/touchscreen on regular tablet UI Android builds - remote (USB remote, Bluetooth remote, IR remote, TV's remote using HDMI-CEC, arrow keys on your keyboard, etc) on Android TV. Google TV remote app (https://www.androidpolice.com/2021/09/27/hands-on-how-to-android-tv-new-remote/) might work on regions where Google TV is available and depending on the gapps you've install (I'm not aware of there currently being any Android TV 13 gapps). I haven't tested any third party remote applications but there seems to more than few.

I am an avid user of the Android app Tasker and it would be awesome if you and Joao (Tasker dev) got together and found a way for Tasker to use GPIO pins as contexts or outputs.
[Raspberry Pi Original Development] backball:
One of the issues listed is

SELinux is in permissive mode

I have an issue with my Google Chromecast with Google TV as it runs Android 10 which introduced a SELinux policy to stop the Android 'sendevent' command from working. Why do I need that? I'm integrating the stick into home assistant home automation

Android Debug Bridge

Instructions on how to integrate Android and Fire TV devices into Home Assistant.

www.home-assistant.io

and the default 'input' command (for an on-screen remote) is super slow... Worked with Android 9 but there's no way for me to go back to 9.

So if the above issue means SELinux is not 'active' and is not enforcing policies this could be a good thing and work for me using one of my Pi 4

What do you think?
[Raspberry Pi Original Development] KonstaT:
I'm not a Tasker user so I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "contexts or outputs". AFAIK you can make Tasker execute shell scripts that you can use to control the GPIO.

Very possible but that's something you need to test yourself.

You can also install LineageOS on Google Chromecast with Google TV (https://wiki.oddsolutions.us/devices/sabrina/) and set SELinux permissive since you can also have root access.

how can i add support for a 4g lte modem from waveshare? I just need the internet access and gps, no sms or phone
[Raspberry Pi Original Development] KonstaT:
You can't without building Android from source and adding the necessary support for the hardware. If you want to build AOSP (or something AOSP-based) for Raspberry Pi, you can look into the Raspberry Vanilla source code (https://github.com/raspberry-vanilla) I've recently released.

My builds are configured as wifi only tablet so they don't even have Android telephony framework or drivers to support any modem hardware. I have builds (of older Android versions) that have support for Sixfab modem HAT and Quectel EC25. LTE data and SMS works fine. It's also possible to make/receive calls but in-call audio is not working. It's not something that I plan to include in public releases as practically no one has the hardware.
