Trouble with factory reset / Clean install of MM beta - ZenFone 2 General

was having trouble with the MM beta on my 550. I could upgrade but factory reset would always fail so some bloatware from 5.0 remained, it had apps optimising every reboot, was stuttery etc. Basically wasn't a good situation.
Solved this last night by:
1. Upgrade as usual (using MOFD_SDUPDATE rename method)
2. After upgrade, DON'T delete the update zip from you SD card
3. Go into fastboot and enter: <fastboot erase system -w> (this will wipe system, user data and cache, so back up any user data you don't want to lose!)
4. When it finishes wiping, select the boot to recovery option. You'll get the failed update fallen droid.
5. Go into the recovery menu (hold power and volume up briefly, then release volume up).
6. Select to install update from SD, and select the MOFD_SDUPDATE.
7. It will start to flash with verbose progress messages (simple white text on black baground). This takes time, first on "verifying update" and later (for quite long) on "checking BOM token". Don't panic, just wait patiently - it should be doing its thing and will eventually finish.
8. Select reboot system.
9. Phone will reboot to set up wizard and you will enjoy a 100% clean install of M This seems to have solved all the issues I had with M previously, including the UI stutters - now it is smoooooooooth!

Just gotta say, having got this rom properly clean installed, it's a real improvement and a very good experience. Almost flawless. If you have tried the beta firmware as an upgrade and not a very clean install, and it has given you niggles, then I would urge you to try it over again by this method and see if it works better for you.

[Q] How do I restore device after failed OTA 5.0.1 update on rooted N4?

Hi folks,
I recently rooted by N4. It was running Android 5.0.
I also have MultiROM installed, with CyanogenMod installed as a secondary ROM.
I didn't realise I couldn't apply the OTA updates to the stock Android system (my oversight), and I allowed the device to download and (attempt an) the recent 5.0.1 update from Google.
When the update attempted to reboot the device, I could see in the terminal data that popped up, that it failed.
After that device now gets stuck in the booting stage with the little coloured balls drifting around.
I continued to use my phone with the secondary ROM (Cyanogen) for some days until I had time to sort this out.
MY ATTEMPTED RECOVERY
I read that ordinarily on a rooted device one would manually apply the various image files from the full 5.0.1 package.
So, following instructions found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/guide-flash-factory-images-nexus-6shamu-t2954008
Using method two (long method).
... In fastboot mode I flashed the system, boot, recovery, cache (after clearing cache), radio images from the 5.0.1 stock image.
At first I didn't flash the bootloader (as I wanted to maintain the multiboot loader I had installed) nor the user.img (I don't want to lose my user data). I read this should work. But it didn't.
When it came to booting into recovery mode to finish the process, an android icon with a ! warning on it would appear, and I could not do the recovery.
So, I have since flashed the bootloader also. That didn't change much, except that my dual-boot boot loader is now gone, and the device is still not recoverable.
Is there something I am not doing correctly? How can I recover this device so that it has 5.0.1, my existing user data, and my existing dual boot bootloader?
Cheers,...
May have solved it...
I'll post another update in a moment. Posting this just in case someone starts responding to my question in the interim.
After further fiddling around, I may have resolved this issue. I've managed to get it into recovery menu, rebooted from there, and device is now in "Android is updating" mode. Looking good.
Will post new message soon as to whether this was successful or not.
Issues continue
So, after the device booted a screen appeared for a fraction of a second, that appeared to be the screen for selecting system language (as per what happens when a device is first run after a clean install). But the screen almost instantly goes black except for the little network icon and battery icon and time in the top right of the screen.
If I use the power button to lock the screen and again to activate it, the screen very briefly flashed up the language selector, then goes blank again.
So... it seems something odd is happening after applying the 5.0.1 file.
Any suggestions?

Well, this is what I resorted to doing. And it worked. Phone started and was as new. Of course, I lost my user data which is a ****. I did pull the SDCARD content over ADB, but am not sure how I'd go about pushing it all back on, into right locations, etc.
BUT—and it's a BIG BUT—when I re-rooted it and applied SuperSu, it couldn't be put into recovery mode any more. It would keep running through the SuperSu install process each time I'd attempt to go into Recovery.
I ended up ignoring this, and installing Busybox (with Play) and SuperSu.apk (via Play). But the SuperSU apk would keep saying its files needed to be installed/updated.
I forget the exact mess that unfolded, but eventually (after installing MultiROM) I could boot the phone as it would ALWAYS go into (custom) recovery.
So I starter the whole process again, with another clean install of 5.0.1, and yet now it is stuck at the bootloader (the little swirling balls screen).

After many tedious hours of messing around with this beast... there is life beyond the bootloop.
Back to a stock install.
So, now I am wondering why the SuperSu/Root process didn't work on my last round on this.
The SuperSu installer would kick in EVERY time I went into Recovery mode, and would then reboot the phone. This made it impossible to do things with ADP because I essentially couldn't get into recovery mode. I wanted to push through some of the stuff I pulled using ADP before I wiped the phone previously.
I installed MultiROM (which includes TWRP [is that what it's called] recovery system. BUT then go stuck in a Recovery loop.
Not wishing to repeat that fiasco... does anyone more knowledgeable than I (not a difficult status to achieve) have any suggestions to what might have caused those issues?

Phronsis Rom Installation help required.

Friends, I am newbie in custom roms. Phronesis rom seems good and easy to install. Even being easy to install, I was unable to install Phronesis rom. The steps that I followed to install this rom are given below.
1) Downloaded Phronesis v6.2 rom from OP and copied it to SD Card.
2) Booted into TWRP recovery.
3) Selected "Wipe" option in the recovery menu.
4) Selected Advanced wipe.
5) From this menu I selected system, data, cache and delvit/art cache.
6) After selecting above options I swiped to wipe.
7) After this I went back to main recovery Menu.
8) From recovery menu I selected Install.
9) From here I chose Phronesis v6.2 rom from SD card storage.
10) Installation started and a bar started to load on the bottom of screen.
And after a few seconds (10 to 30 sec) my phone restated and stuck on note 3 logo.
At the end I didn't have any option but to re-flash stock firmware using odin.
It is the horror story of my note 3.
Please tell me where I have done wrong.
Read the FAQS and Q&A for the rom.
Especially the Q&A regarding TWRP
Did you go through Aroma installer ??
No sir, aroma installer did not start. My phone restarted spontaneously without going into aroma installer.
I have a similar Problem. I think this is caused by an incompatible (old) bootloader. I still use stock Android 4.4.2. When reading about how to install Phronesis I also stumble upon "update to 5.x first" to get a current bootloader.
Unluckily I'm not sure howto update the bootloader manually - but this could be the solution.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/direct-download-bootloaders-modems-t3258803
Use TWRP 2.8.. latest version doesn't work. Check the MD5, is possible that the downloaded file is corrupted
You should really change the thread title to : Please spoon feed me, because i don't want to read at least the first thread page of the rom I'm trying to install !

Problem with Resurrection_Remix_LP_v5.4.6, camera and TWRP

Ok, so I've been Resurrection_Remix_LP_v5.4.6-20150530-hlte.zip for quite some time now, probably since not long after it's release, and it pretty much liked it. Except for the occasional seemingly random "auto reset" of android/app settings and preference (such as forgetting all my saved wifi ssid) after a random crash/reboot.
Starting last week, the camera became problematic, often failing to start entirely (error message, "could not connect to to camera"), or could connect to the back camera, but freezes when i try to switch to front camera. I tried wiping data with TitBak and it worked again, but the problem comes back a while later. Is this a software or hardware problem?
Anyway, I finally decided to upgrade the the latest RR and wanted to upgrade TWRP from 2.8.5 as I go along. Since the existing version fits the requirement for TWRP install...
Code:
TWRP Install (Requires TWRP 2.8.4 or higher already installed):
Download the latest TWRP image file (.img) from the download link and boot TWRP. Go to install and find and select the Images... button. Browse to the image that you downloaded and select it. Choose recovery and swipe to flash.
... I went ahead and did it, with the standard 3 wipes (couple of times) and then the recovery flash. Turns out it didn't work and the phone just keeps freezing at the first screen with Note3 logo and the red/blue/yellow test at the top left saying booting to recovery. It never did!
I then tried to reflash the recovery using odin with the .tar file, it flashed fine and auto re-booted back into the launcher (everything's gone of course). But I still needed to go back into recovery mode to either flash a higher version of TWRP, or install the newer RR.
Still, it gets stuck and wont go to recovery no matter i used the hardware button method, or recovery button in the power menu, or adb reboot recovery.
What's wrong!?!??!
c'mon guys, give me something.
You have flashed newer RR how it goes back to older version after you odin twrp?. Or you mean currently it's the latest, just in the future you need to update to the newest?. Did you flashed the correct rom zip for your phone?. I mean hlte for n9005 and the rest for other variants. I haven't flash 'google like' roms for long not sure it's still different zip for each variants.
Sent from my SM-N920C
I haven't even got to the point of flashing the ROM so it's still on the old RR.
I need to know how to upgrade to the latest TWRP first.
Then why 3 wipes?. If you wipe system you have no rom in the phone.

I don't know if I understand correctly (I'm new to this stuff) but I got back to Emui 4.1.
I installed the Rom without root successfully but messed up the instructions to root and got stuck in some sort of bootloop.
Then Emui reinstalled a factory fresh B027 over wifi and upgraded to B029.
I think this happened with charge/data cable plugged into the PC and pressing the volume up button on reboot.
Apologies if that is not what you meant but it seems to be difficult to brick the phone

What bugs that you faced after booting the Rom ? Is this version stable for daily use
And Thank you so much for posting this thread
@letschky WHAT is best procedure to roll back to b027?
I just got this phone about 8 days ago, and I have a few questions if anyone can answer, I already had the EMUI 5.0 installed on my phone (a reset of the phone triggered a download after signing up with the Huawei ID).
1) I noticed that after I installed the decrypted boot image some of the features disappeared, like the themes, and the changing of the pictures on the lock screen, and the icons seems to be all over the place.
2) I noticed some of the settings are missing, like before rooting and unlocking there was an option to save power by making the screen dark, now it seems that option is gone.
3) If after rooting could you re-lock the bootloader and still keep root?
Also lastly, does anyone here have the english version of HiVoice (HwVAssistant.apk) thats not deodexed? I wanted to try this out but the only version I see is the deodexed and I havent tried yet but I think it still wont work on a rooted phone since the rom isnt deodexed. The reason I am asking is my car is picking it up as Siri (I know its not) but if it works like siri it would be golden.
Welp I cant get my phone back, I was trying to get back to stock, and nothing is working stuck at the honor logo, even tried to go back to emui 5.0 following the directions here, but data keeps not staying mounted. And recovery over WLan wont work because it says failed to get package info. Anybody have any ideas?

Please help me get right stock rom back I'm bricked

I faced a similar issue while I was trying to flash a GSI ROM onto my Realme 2 Pro (4GB variant). I ended up with a soft brick (i.e., I was able too boot into the bootloader, as well as the custom TWRP Recovery I had installed). Somehow, I ended up losing my Stock ColorOS as well. None of the GSI ROMs I tried worked (actually, 2 did boot up, and crashed almost immediately). Also, when in the TWRP Recovery, I could access my phone's memory from my laptop (this is an important piece of information in solving this problem).
As a last ditch attempt, I somehow found a YouTube video which provided some assistance of sorts (being a new user I'm afraid I can not provide the link to it, but you can go to the Realme Community website and search for 'Ubrick', and open the thread titled 'How to install stock color os ROM, unroot, Unbrick, rooted, lock bootloader on realme 2 pro' where the video link will be provided).
Now my phone is up and running the Stock ColorOS, thankfully.
I'll explain the steps as clearly as I can.
1. Went to the Realme website, and downloaded the official software from there.
2. Put in a microSD card into my phone, and plugged the phone into my laptop.
3. Turned on the phone and it immediately loaded the bootloader. Using fastboot, I erased the system. And then loaded the recovery.
3. Once TWRP booted up, I accessed the microSD card storage from my laptop, and transferred the copy of the ColorOS Stock Recovery img (again, being a new user, I can't put a link, but the YouTube video has the link in the description) onto the same, and the transferred the Stock ColorOS ozip file that I had downloaded.
4. On my phone, on TWRP, went to 'Install' and changed storage to microSD, and selected 'Install Image'. When the ColorOS Stock Recovery img showed up, I installed the same.
5. Instead of hitting 'Reboot' directly, I went back to the home screen of TWRP, and went into 'Reboot' and hit 'Recovery'. Now is when another problem cropped up for me. It hung on the screen. So I did a manual restart, directly into the bootloader (pressing Power Button+Volume Down Button).
6. When the bootloader loaded up once more, I rebooted into recovery from there.
7. The Stock ColorOS Recovery opened up. I pressed the first option (Install from Storage Device). I selected the microSD option. The ozip version of the Stock ColorOS 5.2 for version RMX1801EX_11.A.15 showed up. I pressed on that option, and some message popped up (excuse me for not remembering, as I was literally on my last leg at this time). I dismissed the option, and it the installation started.
8. Soon after, a reboot option popped up, for which I hit yes. The phone rebooted, and it booted up as a whole new phone, without a problem. Of course the bootloader unlock was removed (I presume, because the red blinking error that was present is not there; and my software shows that it is up to date)
This is possibly not the best solution, but it worked for me. Do note that when I had saved the ozip file directly on my phone before the whole process, I could not access it, for some reason.
I hope this helps!
Thanks a lot man

I faced a similar issue while I was trying to flash a GSI ROM onto my Realme 2 Pro (4GB variant). I ended up with a soft brick (i.e., I was able too boot into the bootloader, as well as the custom TWRP Recovery I had installed). Somehow, I ended up losing my Stock ColorOS as well. None of the GSI ROMs I tried worked (actually, 2 did boot up, and crashed almost immediately). Also, when in the TWRP Recovery, I could access my phone's memory from my laptop (this is an important piece of information in solving this problem).
As a last ditch attempt, I somehow found a YouTube video which provided some assistance of sorts (being a new user I'm afraid I can not provide the link to it, but you can go to the Realme Community website and search for 'Ubrick', and open the thread titled 'How to install stock color os ROM, unroot, Unbrick, rooted, lock bootloader on realme 2 pro' where the video link will be provided).
Now my phone is up and running the Stock ColorOS, thankfully.
I'll explain the steps as clearly as I can.
1. Went to the Realme website, and downloaded the official software from there.
2. Put in a microSD card into my phone, and plugged the phone into my laptop.
3. Turned on the phone and it immediately loaded the bootloader. Using fastboot, I erased the system. And then loaded the recovery.
3. Once TWRP booted up, I accessed the microSD card storage from my laptop, and transferred the copy of the ColorOS Stock Recovery img (again, being a new user, I can't put a link, but the YouTube video has the link in the description) onto the same, and the transferred the Stock ColorOS ozip file that I had downloaded.
4. On my phone, on TWRP, went to 'Install' and changed storage to microSD, and selected 'Install Image'. When the ColorOS Stock Recovery img showed up, I installed the same.
