194 update - ZenFone 2 General

Asus has released a small update of around 80meg, security patch level now July.

If not for OS update, atleast ASUS is keeping our phone's security up-to-date by giving monthly security patches

for those of you wondering what are the release notes, here it is:
http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=87445&extra=page=1&filter=typeid&typeid=199

Because as hard as it is for you to believe, some people wont upgrade to MM. They still need to support them.

Yeah your right, they've just give us a hint with this OTA that ZE551ML/ZE550ML MM Final will take a long time to release

Zenfone 2 ZE551ML/ZE550ML users have been supporting this device for 1 year & 4 months already, as if it is one of the best selling flagship for the year 2015 and yet Asus turned down its users for just a simple update. Intel SOC they say? Zenfone Zoom also has Intel Chipset and they've release MM earlier.

Well as you can see, many Zenfone 2 Intel users are frustated for the delayed response of just a simple update(i meant MM Final), that already has been using by many other 2014 Smartphone variants since May(eg: Galaxy S5, Xperia Z3).

I'll be lying if i say i'm not waiting for MM update. but when i think that i had this phone for 15 months and or works really fine with lollipop and i know for a fact that they will release MM for it i know for sure that I'll keep using out for another year.

I have rooted my device with method 3. Is it safe to install the update without uprooting first?

Hi,
I have my Zenfone 2 rooted, with xposed installed and bootloader unlocked with TWRP (3.0) installed. I know that I have to uninstall xposed framework, and root, but I never had my bootloader unlocked with stock ROM, and I'd like to update. I can't seem to find an answer in the forum, so I'm asking here. Will it work directly from the notification if xposed and root are removed ? If not can i sideload it from adb into the twrp adb sideload ? If not can I just fastboot flash the recovery to be able to install it ? I don't really need to be unlocked on this phone anymore but I don't want to flash the raw firmware, because it's going to take a long time to reinstall everything and set everything up properly. So how am I supposed to do it ? Thanks

from my experience, yes you can.
as long you enable all system app(and have all system apps) to avoid any issues.
make sure you uninstall BusyBox first.

I read that i needed to edit the script file for TWRP to install it, do I still have to do it ? Thanks for the answer

It's weird. I am rooted and I took the OTA update. It gave an error when installing but it said it reverted to original configuration. Now when I check for updates, it shows no updates and I am still on 184. How can I take the OTA update again? I don't see the OTA update in the /cache folder either. Thank you.

Stagefright updates.

Just read that LG is planning on monthly updates for security reasons....
http://phandroid.com/2015/08/06/lg-...ey-too-will-release-monthly-security-updates/
Wish I didn't unlock? Or are we going to have those patches here available?
They better should enable bootloader unlocking for everyone.
Then each LG user can flash his own ROM and solve security issues very quickly with the community.
Nice announcement, but the stagefrighter hole is gaping and gaping...

you have unlocked the bootloader, so you have a custom recovery and could of course install any rom .
Sure at the moment there are not a lot roms available, but the official ones are however posted...
beside that, i don't think that unlocking the bootloader (and rooting the phone) will disable the OTA feature...

Yes those custom roms.... Sigh... I think we will get them if a can choose another phone[emoji3]

As I read OTA won't work on a unlocked phone.
But you can get the KDZ and flash this - you will need to root again though...

You will still be able to receive the updates, unlocking the bootloader does not stop you receiving OTA updates.

the bootloader itself does not change anything to the OTA process
but changing the recovery may block the OTA from working ... the phone may download the update but the custom recovery may not understand it :silly:
but most of the time, people find a way to create a flashable zip to make an update for custom recovery

Yeah they couldn't OTA as they had rooted, not because they had unlocked their bootloader.
OTA are still made available to people with unlocked bootloaders, just not to people who have rooted. At the end of the day you can just find the KDZ and flash it to update or make an update zip to do it from custom recovery.

That might be right, but as they said a simple unroot wouldn't work.
And BTW what is the point in unlocking the bootloader when you don't want to root?
I mean custom rom maybe but they are usually rooted as well for obvious reasons etc.

Alright so I have a problem with the touch functionality of my phone. I have an LG G4 811 T-mobile variant. The new update is supposed to resolve that but I'm not sure how to update on a rooted device with twrp installed (update stagefrieght). I'm looking for a zip file and i have not managed to find it at all. Could someone help? Also if this is misplaced please devs move it or point me in the right direction to which my question can be answered.

Yes, it worked perfectly fine for my LG G4 H815 unlocked! Now on V10d-EUR-XX. Stagefright is fixed. ****ing sim issue (com.android.phone crashes, does NOT restart itself) remains. Support is worthless. Found a workaround myself.
LG lied about that updates. They never repaired these bugs and now it has About 50 stagefright etc vurnerabilities.
What updates you say? I'm still on V20D since January LoL LG is a joke.

Rooting and Cyanogemmod ?

Hi all
Just got my new Sony Xperia Z5 Premium today
I am wondering if there are any ways to root this phone as the DPI is pretty large for my liking and if there will be Cyanogenmod for it in the near future ?
Thanks
You can change DPI without root using ADB.

Just got mine today as well, and coming from the z ultra..... We really need all of it's 5.5 inches. I adjusted the settings on mine, font size and app size both set to small helps the terribly large dpi. Inside "display" with In settings, and long press on home screen for icon/app size.
Ok so the only way I can root and install recovery is using ADB to root ?

And what do we need to root on a locked bootloader? Security holes. It's an interesting issue, but I doubt it can be used to gain root on the most recent firmwares (with dm-verity and such).

I can't imagine it not getting CM13...Sony let's you unlock the bootloader and also released binaries for AOSP support...developers should have AOSP based ROMS for this phone in no time...personally, I'm going to use Sony's stock ROM for a few months before unlocking it.
So I got my device and unlocked the bootloader. Now PC Companion refuses to update and when trying to register for Emma it claims to have sent a confirmation e-mail, yet I've never received it. No matter how many times I try.
Please somebody ease my pain and tell there's a way to at least root this now?

This is confusing. As far as I know, the 1-click root package is called "ZenFoneRootKit.zip". This is what's described in Method 3.
I've never heard of "Zenfone_quickroot.zip"...

Show some respect for the developers they are doing and sharing it for free in their free time if you don't like go make one for yourself and use it :silly::silly:
xposed v79 and root are both working for me on the 165 update. I did my typical dance to upgrade from 164 to 165:
Boot tethered twrp
Do a full backup
"install" the xposed-uninstaller
Reboot
Wait for apps to be optimized
Go into SuperSU and do full uninstall
Reboot
Let the upgrader install the update
Reboot and wait for apps to be optimized
Boot tethered twrp
Install SuperSU
Install xposed
Reboot
Wait for apps to be optimized
Because of the backup and optimizing apps three times, the whole process takes an hour or more. The tethered TWRP also requires a computer. This method of running TWRP gives me some of the benefits of an unlocked bootloader---easy rooting and easy install of xposed---without having to actually unlock my boot loader and (possibly) void my warranty. I can understand some people preferring the ease of the one-click type installers, but I've not had good luck with them.
I put up the tethered package I use in a post on the tethered TWRP thread. Some of the components are updated, and it seems more reliable than the original tethered package.
I can confirm that xposed 79 it's working. And I was able to update as usual.

Android 6.0 marshmallow update warning!

Due to many requests for the now removed update file I have decided to make this post to inform everyone that the update is NOT the official release. The post was a mistake and the update was intended for beta testers only. This has been confirmed by asus and multiple other beta testers. Anyone who has already updated to the file will most likely find they will not receive any further updates due to using the beta file on a non registered device which means the system won't know to push out the file to your device. It is recommended if you have the update downloaded but don't have it installed that you do not update to the beta file and wait a little longer for the official release.
so if i updated to this MM Update not being beta tester i am scr3wed ? or i will be able to update fota manualy ?
Yes, it is a beta tester only update not a public release, if you install it on a non-beta tester device, you have to install public release manually later.
Also due to the reports of almost everyone that installed it onto their ze550ml device ending up bricked and the device not returning from being bricked it is highly recommended you stay away from this update, I haven't seen anything from official beta testers getting bricked by it on their ze550ml but it is happening to most non beta tester devices
so once the official rom comes, can i still update from beta to official? or it is recommended that i downgrade to 5.0 .184 for now? non-registered beta device here..

Once the official release comes out, if you are running the beta you will be required to manually download and install the official file as you won't be able to do a direct update to the official firmware. A wipe and factory reset will most likely be required as well to stop any issues caused from going from beta to official, although it would be recommended to do that anyway even if going from L to MM just in case you get any issues.
this clear things up for me, thanks!

No need to worry if you've already installed it (assuming you didn't get bricked, and not all 550 got bricked because I certainly didn't) - once it is officially released I think you just need to wait a few days and flash the full firmware file over it when it is uploaded.
Considering the title of the thread introducing it was "Android 6 Beta System Update [ZE550ML, ZE551ML]", I figured it was obvious that it was a beta and, like all beta software, use at your own risk. Just sayin....

This is incorrect, asus posted in there official releases page with the firmware instead of the hidden beta tester thread which is where the confusion came from, not the unofficial thread hear on xda

Hence why I said almost as the reports of bricked devices heavily outweighed reports of successful installs on the 550 but good to see someone confirming that a non beta tester 550 device successfully installed the update
Indeed,if you upgrade from .184,like i did,with all your apps,you have issues.I've noticed those so far:No 4g/phone company data,no fast charging,battery drain,but after i did factory reset and cache wipe(twice,both) from its recovery,all is working properly(so far).I've also noticed new stuff,like Easy pay in Menu!Messenger and Gmail,the default sms/email apps...I'll get back to you in case i'll notice something weird.I will try now again for Twrp and Su,but i don't think it will work(again).Maybe now everything's working in that section as well,but i'm afraid,there aren't compatible with Zenfone 2 MM version yet

View the unbrick thread and try that if that doesn't work request a repair ticket from asus but that may not work as this update wasn't meant to be installed by non beta testers

I tried to flash twrp and root on MM yesterday, but no luck, and can't downgrade too. The bootloader is relock, I can flash the boot.img only, but not droidboot and recovery. Pls inform us if you success.

Nova Plus MLA.....

Is it possible, to open a thread for the Nova Plus MLA-LXX only?
Root, firmwareupdates , etc.
i think its a good idea...im in canada /rogers with mla-l03...and not much here for our version
Not rooted ( yet ) but got the unlock code, me too
have the code, yet not used, all my other mobiles ihave rooted
Like i said...our device is a one pretty young...birth in september so...theres no rush to "enter the dragon" :angel:
But very anxious to try nouEmui
i have tried the unlock code, and it works, but i have relocked it.....
I've the MLA-L11 too. would be awsome to have a working TWRP , no use in getting bt unlocked
unless there is a custom recovery. I'd say we find a dev and donate enough to persuade him to work
on a twrp !

Hi, where is the android 7.0 for us, I hate Huawei when they are late on softwares....! I'm having a problem to use youtube over the phone network with my Nova Plus.
Thanks
guys the MLA varients work with xelfmade's TWRP recovery and roms can be unified to work on all varients
Ota upgrade made with my MLA-L03 to Nougat yesterday and all working great! Used FF to push the update via proxy and changed from C654B140 to C578B302 with stock updated app. Best I've like the phone yet!! Big improvement in every aspect so far.
Buddy,
for us using the MLA-L03 can you explain in details how you did that ? Been waiting for ages to get that OTA update that never comes lol
Thanks in advance

Love to see any custom ROMs for our device.
Hallo,
are there any News about my MLA-11 C432? I can´t find any actual Nougat firmware, is there anyone who has the same Model and try it out?

You can try this to update to Nougat: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G79/g0/v73849/f1/full/update.zip Extract all the files and place them in a dload folder then place that on the root of your SD Card and install it using the three button method. If your Build Number is not showing up correctly after installing that install this: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...-L11_hw_eu/update_data_full_MLA-L11_hw_eu.zip using the same method as before. If it does not work the first time you may need to flash the stock EMUI 5 Nougat recovery which will let you install Nougat updates, I had to do this for the CAN-L01C432 variant as the update kept stopping at around 40%. EMUI 5 Nougat Recovery: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4T1GJ6EZ3LvTWNpZ0p5YXVINGs It is up to you to try it and I am not trying to make you as I do not have a MLA variant so I do not know if it will work or not. I hope this this helps.

Like I said you may need to flash the stock EMUI 5 Nougat recovery first before any of the Nougat updates work, the big update is the Nougat update and the smaller one is functionality. Let me know how it goes if you try it.

Yes, understand, which build is it and is there no problem to get the official one when i had install it?
If it doesn`t work how to get back to notmal firmware?
I have all my devices rooted , but this one not, there are to less informations about my build, therefore i have no twrp installed.
Im careful, my last device was honor 7, and i have no problem with twrp and root, but more informations.
Download is very slow.
Do you have made the update to nougat, and does it run without bugs?
