ASUS ZenFone2 ZE551ML (Z00A) restore or new rom install
I tried out Bliss 6.0 based on android 6.0.1 Liked the os but the my battery life was dying too quick. Even app optimization didn't work. So I wanted to go back to stock. So here is what I did.
*** If anyone has some great ideas, please post here.***
Stock or Custom restore without issues
Solution 1
1. I am still at Bliss 6.0 with twrp custom recovery. I had already backed up my stock os before flashing.
2. I went into recovery and wiped and restored stock os. Once back up everything worked except SIM1. SIM2 worked but that does not prove 4G or 3G data.
3. So I changed the recovery to stock 165 recovery. I did a full firmware adb sideload. I was like **** when I seen SIM1 not working.
4. So I returned to stock recovery did a factory reset. What a ***** but everything is working now.
Solution 2
1. In custom recovery Full wipe including data (internal and SDcard can be left as is, DO NOT DELETE SDcard or INTERNAL)
2. Restore backup of the ROM listed below, then you want to do a factory reset (wipes data, cache and dalvik). FOR New ROM wipe everything but the Internal of SDcard
boot /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
cache /dev/block/mmcblk0p15
factory /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
splashscreen /dev/block/mmcblk0p4
system /dev/block/mmcblk0p18
recovery /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 = "only if your going to use stock recovery"
3. Reboot
4. Go though the setup portion of the ROM as if you are starting off new. You can skip through everything like logging into a google account. Just get though to the android launcher. Once done you should get a connection.
5. Boot into recovery and restore only the DATA partition "data /dev/block/mmcblk0p19" of the backup you restored earlier.
6. Wipe cache and dalvik only
7. Reboot and it should work

Is flashing the STOCK same as flashing a STOCK BASED rom?
There is information out there on this subject. I believe its a TWRP issue. I had exact the same. So dont rely on nandroid backups on this phone.
its happen with me only when i use stock rom , but in cooked rom both sim works, also you need to insert Piece of plastic on the top of the sim to keep fix it inside
hello I had been an hardware issue with SIM reader changed during warranty.Now I have this problem one main SIM 1 for me with Cm 13 based Rom.
Use unthetered twrp by TheSSJ for stock backup and restore,your prob should be solved.

This may do the trick, it happened to me with an U-SIM, those SIMs that got all the sizes, but are a litlle bit thinner. In my case, I just used a piece of thick paper to fix the SIM in place
I have exactly the same prob, i've flashed a cm based rom 6.0.1 but ingress didn't work, so i restored a full backup and sim1 didn't work.
do i have to do a sideload or can i flash the stock rom .zip file?
thx for answer
Here is what I experienced and the fix:
When restoring a backup from a different ROM than the current one SIM1 will not work. If you reset and or install a new ROM from zip it works.
Solution:
In custom recovery Full wipe including data (internal and SDcard can be left as is)
Restore backup of the ROM you want then factory reset (wipes data, cache and dalvik)
Reboot
Go though the setup portion of the ROM as if you are starting off new. You can skip through everything like logging into a google account. Just get though to the android launcher. Once done you should get a connection.
Boot into recovery and restore only the data partition of the backup you restored earlier.
Wipe cache and dalvik only
Reboot and it should work
This is how I've been doing it for a while.

This is how I do it also. Has worked and I keep the stock ROM (165), and the custom ROM of choice on my external flash drive because it works this way. Remember to only flash data from the backup (uncheck system and boot).
Other way is to keep backup of /config/telephony/1 & 2 directory. Restore the files in directory 1 and 2 after you are back to stock, reboot everything should work. This problem can be verified by dialling *#06# and comparing when you face the issue and without issue. The IMSI are not read properly when SIM issue occurs.
help pls

dial *#06# and show the output. Check if phone is able to read sim and search network manually.
I had this same issue when I installed CM13 and decided to restore my backup from TWRP. I solved it with a hard reset + restoring the backup one more time.
i tryed all of thhe abowe but notwhing worked. when sim 1 is connected i get some number in first line and than in second line null on dialing *#06# when sim 2 is connected only number but sim 2 keeps losing connection every 10 seconds for 2 seconds and it appears to be software issue because i tryed to fix that card by any means nessesery and no help
@ yannahzinha twrp is what caused this problem at first place than i found out it has a problem and need to reflesh/factory reset few times but it didnt work ....
and when sim 1 only is inserted i cant scan for network operators because option is grayed out sim 1 not detected
help guys

And as a last resort. Take backup of files in folder 1 and 2. Delete all files in folder 1 and 2. Reboot.

Okay I've never read such a weird explanation on any thread in this forum.
Btw, I recently flashed InDroid 4.3. Less than a week ago.
My phone was running perfectly, but my google account linked with my phone was not what I wanted it to be. So I added another account and my phone said that to delete my previous account I had to do a factory reset.
So I deleted my older backup that I had created using Titanium Backup (when I was using stock ROM) and I created a new backup.
So I held down the power button and tried to get into recovery. But my phone just got stuck at the "samsung i5801" screen. I let it be for 10-15 minutes but it won't go beyond that. So I re-inserted the battery, and tried to get into recovery again. Didn't work.
Then I tried to just start my phone in normal mode, but still it just got stuck at the i5801 screen. I removed the sim card, SD card and tried, still stuck at the same screen.
Then I tried to get into downloading mode, which (thank god) worked.
Now I know the logical thing to do is just to flash a new ROM but my questions are :
a- WTF happened?!??!?!?!
b- since I can't get into recovery or normal mode, how do I reset factory settings / clear cache? And if I don't do all that, will flashing be successful? and safe?
btw, I'd like to continue with InDroid until Kyrillos 6.0 is perfectly stable.
-That happens frequently with indroid.. main cause could be the filesystems..
-flash kyrillos v6 its pretty much stable..
-Once you flash a new rom you'll be able to boot into recovery..
-Remove sdcard while flashing once done insert sdcard and wipe data n cache from recovery..
Ugh, I've been flashing since the HTC Touch Elf but I'm finally stuck.
I was using Bobcat, but it wasn't keeping the 3g when the screen turned off, post v13. So I flashed Phoenix which had a troubleshoot for that - which I followed and it worked. Flash the new modem zip using Odin. Thing is, without realising I didn't allow it to finish. I booted up and 3g remained connected fine, so "obviously" it worked, though I never tried to call in or out last night.
I got a voice mail this morning and found I couldn't hear anything during a call - which took forever to connect. Figuring a slow rom, I downloaded and flashed Foxhound - still no calls. So I try the modems again, letting it sit for a few extra minutes until Odor says Pass. But it still doesn't work... It's also quite slow, as Phoenix was.
Any help?
Flash the stock rom again via odin.
Get the stock rom from sammobile
Sent from my GT-I9500 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Not what I'd like to do, but I'll give it a try. Downloading now.
I've done it and it still doesn't work. And the camera also doesn't work... Although the camera thing only started after I flashed the I9505XXUFNC9_GSM_LTE_Modems. Not sure that would be the reason for it to work or not, but that's what happened.
I've tried the above modems and I9505XXUFNB9_GSM_LTE_Modems, flashing other firmware in recovery and reflashing the original firmware using Odin.
Have I completely naffed my phone?
Oh, and also the wifi doesn't work since returning it to EE's latest firmware...
Nobody have any ideas?
I had a similair problem. I assume you are still on the old bootloader?
This is what I did:
1. Full wipe in cwm
2. Advanced wipe > wipe /system (this will wipe everything, so it also wipes your sd card).
3. Flash the phoenix rom
4. Flash the modem (I use MJ5)
5. Make sure the modem actually flashed. Check it in settings > general > phone information.
That did the trick for me. Make sure you have proper backups and also a good backup of your efs.
As I didn't have Wifi I had to install Clockworkmod Recovery via Odin. So I wiped everything, but the option was to wipe Cache, wipe System and wipe data. There was also wipe data and data/ (SD card), but I didn't do that one as I don't think the problem was down to the memory card. I flashed Foxhound, as that's what was on my memory card already, put the XXUFNC9 modem on using Odin and booted up. It now connects to 3G and wifi.
However, I tried to call my house and it took about 30 seconds to connect, then when my wife picked up neither of us could hear each other. So it still doesn't work...
When going into download mode, it doesn't say anything about Knox, so yes I'm on the old bootloader still. I don't have a backup of my efs, but I have a complete backup of everything from using Titanium Backup before I tried flashing away from Bobcat.
I noticed something very strange. When I go to About and Phone Information, the phone number shown isn't my number. The number that showed up on the house phone was my correct phone number. Is this related?

I had the same problem as you had. The procedure that I descriped fixed them for me. My guess is there are some files on your sd card that somehow interfere.
I will try doing the same again, but with a different formatted memory card.
Flashed the new bootloader, problem solved.
Hi all,
I'll just dive into the problem, on dot-point form:
1. Started with Unrooted Stock TouchWIz Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505
2. Rooted with Chainfire Autoroot via Odin
3. Flashed TWRP 2.7 via Odin
4. Made backup via TWRP, saved in external SDCard.
5. Flashed the Mahdi 4.4.4 rom
6. After new ROM, I wanted togo back to old original rom.
7. Booted into TWRP to restore back to TouchWiz.
8. Restore success, rebooted.
9. Samsung boot animation played and white "SAMSUNG" logo displays.
10. Waited for almost an hour.
11. Still on that "SAMSUNG" boot screen. The blue glow behind the text pulses.
Please Help, I can't get anything to work, Also, I can't afford to delete all backup( contacts,
Seems like you've hit a boot loop, basically your phone will reach the boot logo and no more. Unfortunately, the only way I know to deal with a boot loop is to wipe data/factory reset via recovery. Something didn't quite work out in the backup/restore, and probably why this happened. It does seem you will lose contacts etc unless they are saved to the SIM card.
Edit: Try wipe data/factory reset and then restore. If it boot loops again, you'll have to wipe.
I was able to make it work after I have reinstalled the Mahdi 4.4.4 rom. Now, how can I do it correctly to restore it and make it work without any problems ?

Well first off, I would backup everything important, eg contacts to SIM or external SD card, photos, messages, accounts, email settings etc. Because as far as I can see, you're just going to hit a boot loop when you restore again. At least you have everything important backed up and can start afresh without losing anything important.
Ok, What's the best way to backup, I know the twrp doesn't work.

OnePlus 5 128GB, running OOS 4.5.15, rooted with Magisk 15.1, tried updating to latest OTA (Oreo), ended up bricking the phone, unbricked it, restored Nougat + backups of /data and /sdcard, now everything works except WiFi (stays on "turning on..."), fingerprint sensor (only works as home button) and sdcard isn't readable (I can only list files, but when I try to read or write I get EACCES.
Tried flashing latest firmware+modem, didn't work.
Tried wiping system/data/storage and flashing Nougat again, in the "first setup" page it was able to list WiFi networks but couldn't connect (stayed on "saved, secure").
Now I reloaded all my backups so I have an almost working phone, but without internal storage I can't do much. I can't take pictures, can't download files, can't play games (obb is on internal storage).
It worked fine before the update so it can't be a hardware problem, and even, it would be surprising that both the WiFi antenna, the fingerprint sensor and the eMMC card stop working at the same time.
Also worth mentioning that I can write to internal storage without any problems from TWRP.
Note: I already tried PeterGuru's guide, Wi-Fi still doesn't work (it just doesn't turn on).
Note #2: Wi-Fi and fingerprint aren't that much of a problem right now. The main problem is inability to READ or WRITE internal storage. It basically prevents a bunch of things from working. Also I tried flashing different firmwares and modems.
Forget about any backups or such dor the minute and do a complete fresh install. Follow the steps as per the other thread you mentioned and get the phone up and running properly to start with.
As I said I already tried doing a fresh install ( = wiping data+storage+system and flashing a fresh OOS ROM, without restoring any of my backups so I get a "clean" installation), and every time, in the "first boot" stage you get when you power the phone on, at the "Wi-Fi" step it can list the networks but not connect (neither DHCP nor static IP, tried on multiple networks even ones without passwords). I tried flashing Nougat and Oreo ROMs. Neither had Wi-Fi working. Right now, I restored the Nougat one and restored my backups so I can at least send messages and GSM calls because that's what I need the most right now.
I'm slowly starting to lose any hope of getting a working phone (as before I tried updating). Is it possible at all?

Follow the tutorial on Peter's topic that you will get your wi-fi back. I had the same problem.
Download this files (Oreo Open Beta 2 and TWRP 3.2.1 Official, you can find in his topic)
With the TWRP you are currently using, wipe everything (data, system, cache, dalvik cache and internal storage) and format data
Restart your device in fastboot and flash the official TWRP 3.2.1 .Again wipe everything and format data
Restart for recovery and copy OP 2 to internal storage and then flash
Restart the system and get your wifi back
I preferred to stay on OP2, but you can return to Nougat.
Well, the best way to fix it - flash stock recovery, wipe everything, and then reboot to recovery > select adb, connect to pc and flash with command in cmd : adb sideload name_of_firmware.zip
Thats will make you happy
Hello all,
Hopefully I'm posting this in the correct section and someone can help me with my dilemma..
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A, Model #T510, running stock Android 9 Pie (I believe).
I was trying to clear up space in the file system yesterday when a system update window came up. I tried to schedule for later and it started the install anyways. Shortly after it started the update, it stopped because of "low storage" and got stuck in a Boot Loop of the Samsung logo screen.
It then goes to the Android Recovery with the following error:
"Perform Lacking Storage Booting"
*(See image 1 for actual screen)
It gives me the following options:
"-Reboot to bootloader
-Apply update from ADB
-Apply update from SD card
-Wipe data/factory reset
-Wipe cache partition
-Mount /system
-View recovery logs
-Run graphics test
-Run locale test
-Power off"

I have tried Powering Off, Checking the Rescue Logs, and Rebooting. All result in a continuous boot loop, until it eventually kicks me back to the Recovery Page. I've wiped the cache partition, and it didn't make a difference. Still stuck in boot loop before being kicked back to Recovery.
However, when I try "Reboot to bootloader", it gives me a different screen (See image 2) with the following four options:

Use volume up/down and power. Your phone couldn't start normally. Some configuration data may be corrupt. Follow the instructions:
1. Try again
Restart your phone. If your phone continues to be unable to start, go to the next step.
2. Erase app data
Deleting app configuration data may allow your phone to start in Safe mode. Safe mode allows access to basic functions, so you can back up any important data stored on your phone. After backing up your data, a factory reset may be needed to get your phone to start normally.
3. Visit a service center
If you don't want to erase your app data or your phone still doesn't start, visit a service center for assistance.

So, here is my dilemma...
I have already backed up the SD card that I was using in the tablet, as I was able to extract it's contents onto my PC without issue, (after taking it out of the tablet).
BUT I can't find a way to access the internal storage!! I need to get in to backup my files because my daughter uses it for homeschooling and she's done a ton of work since my last full backup (roughly a month ago).
I've tried connecting the tablet via USB data to my laptop, to see if I could open it from there, as a storage device...
No-go. PC doesn't recognize it at all.
I've tried backing it up through my Samsung Account, and Find My Mobile and can't because the tablet can't connect to my network... (Because I can't get it to boot into Android)
I've accepted the fact that I will most likely have to do a factory reset, but I need to get my data off first.
Does anyone know of a way I can back up the internal storage outside of Android?
Or how to get into this magical Safe Mode?
I've been trying different things since yesterday and can't find a solution. I've thought about trying the "Erase App Data" option in the Recovery page, as it talks about the ability to load into Safe Mode.
But if I do that, will I actually lose everything? Has anyone used this function before?
I would greatly appreciate any help I can get. I'm a certified tech with Dell (albeit years ago now), so I've tried a few tricks of the trade, but as everyone knows... Because I didn't root it in the beginning, I can't use the exploit commands without tripping Knox. So I can't even back it up via TWRP.
And as usual, Samsung has been no help. They won't say whether or not the data can be backed up or recovered, they are defaulting to sending it out for repair.
All I'm looking for is to find out IF it's possible. If it is, then there is a solution.
I'm so frustrated with it, that I've considered using it for target practice But because my daughter's schoolwork is on it, and she's quite the little novelist (she's only 10 haha)... She is a puddle of emotion at the moment because she thinks everything has been erased.
So, if anyone knows more info on this.. I beg for your assistance! I'm always trying to gain more knowledge and stay current, so I'm open to suggestions!!
Thank you in advance, let me know if further details are needed.

Use volume up/down and power. Your phone couldn't start normally. Some configuration data may be corrupt. Follow the instructions:
1. Try again
Restart your phone. If your phone continues to be unable to start, go to the next step.
2. Erase app data
Deleting app configuration data may allow your phone to start in Safe mode. Safe mode allows access to basic functions, so you can back up any important data stored on your phone. After backing up your data, a factory reset may be needed to get your phone to start normally.
3. Visit a service center
If you don't want to erase your app data or your phone still doesn't start, visit a service center for assistance.

So, here is my dilemma...
I have already backed up the SD card that I was using in the tablet, as I was able to extract it's contents onto my PC without issue, (after taking it out of the tablet).
BUT I can't find a way to access the internal storage!! I need to get in to backup my files because my daughter uses it for homeschooling and she's done a ton of work since my last full backup (roughly a month ago).
I've tried connecting the tablet via USB data to my laptop, to see if I could open it from there, as a storage device...
No-go. PC doesn't recognize it at all.
I've tried backing it up through my Samsung Account, and Find My Mobile and can't because the tablet can't connect to my network... (Because I can't get it to boot into Android)
I've accepted the fact that I will most likely have to do a factory reset, but I need to get my data off first.
Does anyone know of a way I can back up the internal storage outside of Android?
Or how to get into this magical Safe Mode?
I've been trying different things since yesterday and can't find a solution. I've thought about trying the "Erase App Data" option in the Recovery page, as it talks about the ability to load into Safe Mode.
But if I do that, will I actually lose everything? Has anyone used this function before?
I would greatly appreciate any help I can get. I'm a certified tech with Dell (albeit years ago now), so I've tried a few tricks of the trade, but as everyone knows... Because I didn't root it in the beginning, I can't use the exploit commands without tripping Knox. So I can't even back it up via TWRP.
And as usual, Samsung has been no help. They won't say whether or not the data can be backed up or recovered, they are defaulting to sending it out for repair.
All I'm looking for is to find out IF it's possible. If it is, then there is a solution.
I'm so frustrated with it, that I've considered using it for target practice But because my daughter's schoolwork is on it, and she's quite the little novelist (she's only 10 haha)... She is a puddle of emotion at the moment because she thinks everything has been erased.
So, if anyone knows more info on this.. I beg for your assistance! I'm always trying to gain more knowledge and stay current, so I'm open to suggestions!!
Thank you in advance, let me know if further details are needed.

Thanks for your help Oswald, I really appreciate everyone here. Hoping to find a solution, cause I'm just about at my wits end. Yay technology!
I have this problem and I wanted to fix it, my device does not show up the "Lacking storage booting" function in Recovery.
