thank in advance
[ASUS ZenFone 8] nilezon:
OTA for 33.0210.0210.326 is now available
[ASUS ZenFone 8] blackbile:
DON'T install it!!!!
[ASUS ZenFone 8] PC295:
new Update available: 33.0210.0210.332

1. optimized system stability

2. google security patch 2023-11-01
[ASUS ZenFone 8] nilezon:
OTA link for 33.0210.0210.332 is now available in OP.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] holden69:
Is it possible to skip .326 and flash .332 without problems?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] nilezon:
No, not possible at the moment
[ASUS ZenFone 8] MarkMRL:
Sucks that we can't unlock the bootloader anymore. I wouldn't care too much if I owned a 9 or a 10, but with the 8, which afaik is no longer getting updates, I hoped to install a custom rom at some point :(
[ASUS ZenFone 8] holden69:
Ok, thank you, seems like we are stuck with this until Sony starts to build compact phones again? Can you put a Disclamer/Warning at the link collection at the start of this thread for .326 and .332 so ppl don't brick their phones?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] kmbu:
Hello everyone,

I have a Zenfone 8 that I unlocked and then re-locked (some time back....yeah I know), so now I don't get OTA updates anymore. I'm also not advanced enough to use the full dumps. I'm now on .296 and wondering if there's an easy way to upgrade to later firmwares without losing my data.

Thanks!
[ASUS ZenFone 8] nilezon:
I have uploaded the dumped firmware for 326 and 332. It should be possible to skip the 326 OTA and go directly for 332 now. However, I'm not sure 326 is more responsible for bricking these phones than any other firmware version. I updated to 326 using the OTA without any problem.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Noobie911:
Is there any way to downgrade into A11?

I can downgrade into A12 because UL-ASUS_I006D-ASUS prefix is same on A13 and A12, however on A11 roms it became UL-I006D-ASUS prefix as well.

I hope theres any solution on this without using a pc thank you
[ASUS ZenFone 8] kmbu:
I tried the OTA update from .296 to .312. The update file was recognized, and I could click it to start the process, but then it failed with an error. Is that related to the fact that my phone was previously unlocked and then re-locked?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] dohanin:
Mine is also unlocked and relocked but I have updated successfully.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] kmbu:
With data intact? And following the HOWTO instructions from this thread (rename and place in the root directory)?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] dohanin:
yes, exactly
[ASUS ZenFone 8] kmbu:
That's quite strange. I get this error. However, when the updates were still available for download from the ASUS website I always upgraded without any issues. Any way I can find out how or why it fails?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] bnsmb:
Check the logs:

enable adb on the phone , connect the phone via USB to the PC, and issue on the PC "adb logcat " while trying to update or "adb shell logcat -d ">logcat.out after the update failed.

Check the log messages for message reagarding the update

(There is no root access neccessary for this approach)

regards

Bernd
[ASUS ZenFone 8] kmbu:
T

Thanks Bernd. I ran adb logcat and got the attached output. Could you have a look? I think process 1519 is the update process, and I truncated the log before the update starts and after it ends.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] bnsmb:
Hi

looks like this is a delta flash image for another Android version:

05-17 10:41:59.410 1519 1519 E update_engine: [ERROR:partition_writer.cc(317)] The hash of the source data on disk for this operation doesn't match the expected value. This could mean that the delta update payload was targeted for another version, or that the source partition was modified after it was installed, for example, by mounting a filesystem.

( I guess that you did not change Android related filesystem on the phone manually)

regards

Drnd
[ASUS ZenFone 8] kmbu:
Strange....I have WW_33.0210.0210.296, and definitely have not modified the file system in that way.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] bnsmb:
Well, I can not do anything more here because I do not use the original Android on my Zenfone 8.

Probably some other forum member can help

Hey guys if anyone has QFIL firmware I would greatly appreciate it. My ZF8 randomly hardbricked a only enters EDL. In the first post it states 30.02.46.97 (Debug/QFIL) but it seems that 30.02.46.108 could be available as QFIL too.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] kmbu:
Hello friends. I'm still hoping someone can help me here. The problem seems to be with the hash of the modem_b partition. Is there any way to resolve this? Can I, for example, flash that partition from the full .296 dump before trying the OTA update? What is this partition anyway?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] creamulonimrod:
Just want to pitch in here and say im also having this issue. Ive installed TWRP and formatted as well.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] custom_tryer:
hy together...

first of all, i'm somewhat a noob,

...but not bad at following instructions (i can rely on, as they are from a trusted source) ;)

i've read the 4 pages, and i'm very glad for all the OS-Versions in the first thread.

nonetheless, i'm not sure, if this Thread is the right one for my problem

i'm currently running on LineageOS - which was (somehow) smooth to install, as there is a detailed step to step instruction on the website - but wanna go back to an stock-ROM.

is this my thread, or is this only for updates within Stock-ROM?

i found the "necessary" files like vendor_boot.img and boot.img in the DUMP.7z folder, and i tried to redo those installation-steps from the LineageOS-wiki-page, analog with these files.

Install LineageOS on sake | LineageOS Wiki

wiki.lineageos.org

The phone has an open Bootloader and I'm working via fastboot/adb over a linux (fedora) terminal.

unfortunately, after flashing boot.img (which was the recovery-file in lineageOS) and rebooting to recovery-mode, the phone doesn't boot a special recovery-program (as it does when i follow the steps for the lineageOS installation).

the problems i have now, are:

1. without the "recovery-program" (sorry, i don't know how it's called) i can't "adb -d sideload ...zip" because there is an error, saying "no vendor_key" or "unauthorized".

within the "recovery-program" loaded over boot.img (i guess) during the LineageOS-installation progress, there is a menu "ADB sideload" which i can choose, after which i'm able to command "adb -d sideload" from my pc.

2. without sideload of an proper installation zip-file, i stuck at the bootlogo of lineageOS (luckily i can reboot to the bootloader with key-combination and flash the lineageOS files again.

3. I'm not quite sure, what "Version-file.zip" i am allowed to use to sideload (if sideload would/will work).

as the vendor_boot.img- and boot.img-files are only in the DUMP-folders, but the .zip-files with the approx. correct file-size are (i guess) the "FULL"-.zips but both aren't correlating at versions.

i'm looking forward to your infos.

if i'm in the wrong thread here, please feel free to tell me (maybe you have an idea, where i'm right ;) )

BIG thanks in advance

Tom

Hello fellow hoomans!

How do you people go about making an extensive backup of your phone to your computer? I see many tools and approaches for many different sums of money, but I need one that actually does the job and does it on the first attempt, as I will sell my phone in a few hours and there is

A: no trying again and

B: no device yet for me to recover to, to check if everything made it over.

Thanks in advance for your input!

[FYT Android Head Units] Jaydh1:
Hi

I've just bought a car with an Android head unit (FYT unit SP7731) and it came with an app called Carlink 2.0 v2.23. The unit is Android 11 and connects via bluetooth to my phone and then connects wirelessly to Android Auto on my phone. Sometimes though the Carlink 2.0 app disconnects while I am driving and then reconnects a few minutes later. Im in the UK. Either:

Is there a way to fix this or use another app in the play store to connect?

Or

I tried to also install tlink v5.3.54, it didn't have tlink previously. I have installed the app but all I see is the attached screenshot which is the loading screen, a message saying 'zlink service is unavailable' comes up. I watched a few youtube videos which talk about activating tlink by setting the timezone to India and then I can get into the app but this didn't work. Are there some instructions I could follow?

Thanks

Jamie
[FYT Android Head Units] 03hdfatboy:
It's annoying I had that issue also. When you flash it, make sure in config.txt you set the "sys.fyt.bluetooth_type=0" newer units (including mine) are type=7

after changing mine to "0' it corrected that and my OBDII that wouldn't stay connected.
[FYT Android Head Units] Matt Devo:
this is not good advice universally. All FYT units have 2 BT chips, changing from 1 or 7 (or whatever the default is) to 0 uses the "built-in" BT which is far less functional (BT3?) vs the add-on BT (5.0/5.1, Realtek or Qualcomm). Be sure to note what your original BT type is before changing it, and understand the consequences of doing so
[FYT Android Head Units] 03hdfatboy:
When I got my HU it was type 4 until update where it changed it to 7. Atoto's service tech is who told me to change version to 0 to make it more compatible with my Atoto OBDII that wouldn't stay connected. The phone and OBDII are not on the same BT. I have mine on type 7 now that I'm not using the OBDII bt adapter.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZG_DEV:
There is nooooo neeeeed to twrp 😀
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZG_DEV:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susabakusa impostorusa:
My device is "cubot king kong cs" and i have mt6580 chipset. Emmc memory, there was android 10 go and i think disabled verified boot. By the way i just was testing hovateks auto twrp builder and magisk but it didnt work so i tried flashing trying and more and now it cant boot
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZG_DEV:
How did you disable verified boot ?

Whatever all we need is sp flash tool, so drivers, VCOM driver and mtk drivers auto installer
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susabakusa impostorusa:
I know that reflash may fix it but i reflashed it 12 times. I installed drivers properly, and i ported twrp but touch is not working.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZG_DEV:
U can use twrp using otg 😀

Just plug your pc mouse in the OTG adapter and go ahead 😀

Wait......

Flashing the ROM doesn't work ????

Whatever try to use twrp using otg( the method I told u above this post)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susabakusa impostorusa:
I dont have otg in that phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZG_DEV:
Where did you get the ROM? Is it the latest one? And did you confirm that it is the same as your phone ?

And if you can send me a screenshot of Odin after locating files, it may help !
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susabakusa impostorusa:
I have phone from china so theres only one rom image.

And 2nd from the readback. I have mediatek so odin wouldnt work. (Its for samsung only). And my phone was flashed using miracle box thunder 2.82 beacuse my phone need the images to be signed on sp flash tool.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZG_DEV:
You can flash using sp flash tool without verification or being the files signed, use MCT MTK BYPASS REV4 to bypass this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susabakusa impostorusa:
Thanks for info. I will try it. But now i need help with my twrp. The touch isn't working.

bruh

whatever about the /data and /system it is normal, bro
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZG_DEV:
try to mount them manually (using adb or the terminal in twrp)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susabakusa impostorusa:
Idk how. And cache partition is mounted succesfully. I can see logs from twrp
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susabakusa impostorusa:
Its super normal to boot it like that. They have same kernel. In a nutshell its android. But boot image is looking for system files on /system partition. And recovery have everything in ramdisk. I just have MTK phone so when it boot to system it enables touch and when to recovery its not. Kernel patch can fix it but i cant
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susabakusa impostorusa:
I think ill use dd command and create partition image. Then compare to my stock rom
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susabakusa impostorusa:
When i tried "mount /dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/userdata /data" it says: "mount: mounting /dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/userdata on /data failed: Invalid argument"

How to fix that
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susabakusa impostorusa:
I just formatted it and works now! I can now flash system.img and boot.img and it 'will' work!!?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susabakusa impostorusa:
Idk how to flash it. My phone has dynamic partition and idk how to flash it to only /system. Any help??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susabakusa impostorusa:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZG_DEV:
Bro

U can just boot into META mode 🙂

Just vol.down + release when connected to pc 🙂
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susabakusa impostorusa:
I fixed it already. But the bootloop is still there.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZG_DEV:
💀

U mean that u flashed the whole ROM using that META mode and nothing happens else that bootloop ?

Try to downgrade it 🙂
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZG_DEV:
And also make sure that u don't overwrite that preloader.bin 😀
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susabakusa impostorusa:
No. I used preloader mode to flash with miracle box. So i didnt overwrite it. Correct ne if theres a mistake.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZG_DEV:
Overwriting preloader means flashing preloader 🙂
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susabakusa impostorusa:
I know. But why its still in bootloop
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZG_DEV:
There might be a corruption in a partition, or maybe u patched your boot.img to get root ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susabakusa impostorusa:
I patched it and didnt boot. So i reflashed it with normal boot.img and worked... Before i flashed not working twrp. It started crazy and i am now in this bootloop.

What you would do in that situation?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZG_DEV:
I would flash a working twrp or just flash the stock recovery and get an older version of magisk and patch boot.img with it 🙂
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZG_DEV:
Eassssyyyyy
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susabakusa impostorusa:
Now the screen is burning out. I getd this to previous state. But the patch didnt work.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susabakusa impostorusa:
By the way with that screen burning out i meant the screen controller is hotter.

So how do i fix that phone? (That boot?)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZG_DEV:
I think there is a hardware problem

Since u flashed the whole rom and still stucks into a bootloop
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susabakusa impostorusa:
Not really a bootloop. It just dont boot into the system completely. Just freezes after bootanimation.zip is complete.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZG_DEV:
Bro

This IS a bootloop
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susabakusa impostorusa:
Ohh. I thinked of restarts. So what can be the root of the bootloop?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZG_DEV:
Hardware problem, bloatwared a critical app, patching a boot.img and the phone does not accepting it, flashed things wrongly
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susabakusa impostorusa:
i checked everything and phone still didnt boot.

I think ill just port android from older model. But idk how. If my computer cant compile twrp, it cant compile android too. So porting is my only option, that idk how to do.

EDIT: i foundd a tutorial. But it didnt help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susabakusa impostorusa:
So what more can cause this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZG_DEV:
Try to get the stock rom from another website, do not flash preloader, locate it but DO NOT FLASH (just untick it and select the othet files)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susabakusa impostorusa:
Same state as before.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZG_DEV:
I think u were flashing worngly

Or it is a hardware problem
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susabakusa impostorusa:
Can u find a tutorial for foashing it with miracle thunder 2.82? (Sp flash tool is not working idk why)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susabakusa impostorusa:
ok. can i get help with building android?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZG_DEV:
How it is not working?

What errors do u face when flashing?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] susabakusa impostorusa:
It gave error: S_DA_MMC_FAILED or something like that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZG_DEV:

Hello! My end goal with this project is to be able to use micro g on devices where you aren't fully able to remove GMS and therefor cannot install micro g normally (e.g. US Samsung phones). I have made it as far as getting micro g running in a user enviroment with device registration and firebase messaging. That last one is what that post is about. I would like to modify an app that uses firebase messaging to talk with micro g instead of gms. I have tried with bluebubbles, but cant get it to build. I have also tried decompiling discord and group me with apktool and manually editing things, but they crash on launch. Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction on how to do this? The end goal is a more user friendly lspatch and / or taichi module to do this, but to do that I need to understand how this works in the first place. I am excited to create a beta release thread as soon as I have it in a somewhat usable state!
