Hi,
On morning zenfone prompted about update, so i installed it.
After reboot, i noticed that sim card was not detected.
What didn't helped :
Wipe cache
Hold power button for 40 sec (asked by asus support)
Factory reset (asked by asus support)
The current installed version is 14.40.144.6
On asus website, only 2 older versions are avalaible, can't installed them with adb, says "Can't install this package (Fri Oct 14 20:19:41 CST 2016) over newer build (Tue Nov 8 01:13:20 CST 2016)"
I think i need corresponding Recovery.img, bootloader.img in order to downgrade but i'm not sure.
Please help me
Thanks

Since it took asus monthes on zenfone 2 (my ZE551ML died 2 weeks ago) to bring out android MM, i have no hope there. Any way to install custom rom ? (i guess no)

I tried this and nothing has worked for me. Is anyone else having better luck? I just got my phone in the mail today and cannot get it to work at all. My SIM card is detected but my cellular state is disconnected and I can't do anything with texts and phone calls. Wifi is working just fine.
zenfone 3 max (device was reset with SP Flash Tool)
hi there! how did you fix it? thread have been deleted in zentalk, i revert my zenfone 3 max to its old firmware version 13.1.x.x, all working except the Sim slot
My last update is for Android 8 (last year).
I have ZC551KL.
SW: WW_80.20.52.90_201903
I have not received others updates.
Hi,
to start with I needed to downgrade my asus from Android 6.0 to factory version, and I didn't expect, that casue some problems, probably i ****ed up something on the way.
The situation is, i erased system, flashed a WW-12.8.5.172 and after rebooting phone freezed od loading screen. After 0.5h i gave up and wanna return to latest distribution, but another issue occured, neither recovery mode work nor fastboot could load another firmware.
Have someone had same or alike problem? Or know how to fix this mess.
Thanks for all response in advane
Hello everyone. Looking for help in backing up my Zenfone 3.
Reason is, I must send my phone for warranty due to a hardware issue and even though I asked ASUS NOT to update my firmware (still have the original firmware), I have a bad feeling it will get returned factory reset with the latest update.
The reason is not relevant to this thread, but no other firmware past the original firmware the phone came with works properly with the 2 SIM cards I'm using. I tried.
So, is there please an option to backup my Zenfone 3 that most importantly, will keep my original firmware I have now and I can restore it if my phone will come back with the latest firmware? Something like a clone that allows me to restore it exactly the way I have it now before I must send it.
Only other possible obstacle is that my phone is not rooted or bootloader unlocked and I don't wish to do so, as I had no need, and I'm not even sure if ASUS allows that if I need to have it warrantied.
Please help? Any software out there or method I can use to just purely clone/copy my phone and be able to restore it once I receive the phone back?
ASUS do have some issues in servicing when the bootloader is unlocked but I believe the only possible way to backup your phone is by having root. Unless there is something new people came up with. You can, maybe copy your current build number and downgrade to it later by downloading the firmware file of your current build, though that was not a "clone" as you may have wanted.
Sent from my Asus ZenFone 3 Max using XDA Labs
Thanks for the reply. Do you happen to know where i could get my current old firmware? I don't think asus is making it available.
Also, would the standard backup and reset in Android not do the job? Or if they reset the phone that would be lost?
Ok, so a couple months ago, my phone sensors died and after a long time of procrastinating, I decided to try to fix it, I've managed to do it and I'm sharing the fix with you guys, as I didn't found any fix online.
So first, why this happens?
It's because of the phone's persist, that can be corrupted, this can happen if you flash roms, or even with updates, like it was in my case.
How to fix it?
Ok, so first you will need a few things.
Adb and Fastboot
persist.img file (and a couple more files for the flash to work, but I will place a link here)
Xiaomi Miflash (this version will install the drivers, but if don't, uninstall and boot Windows with Driver Signature Enforcement disabled and install it again)
Download All here - it's already modded to flash persist only. It will not wipe your data.
After installing Xiaomi Miflash, you will need to boot the phone in edl mode. You can do this even with you bootloader locked and it will work. To do this, first boot in Fastboot mode (Vol down + Power), plug the USB cable on phone and computer, then open cmd on the folder of fastboot and use the command:
fastboot oem edl
After that, your phone's screen will turn off and the led will keep blinking red.
Now, open Xiaomi Miflash.
Click on Select
Select the folder that you downloaded earlier.
Click refresh, your phone should appear on the list, if don't, reinstall drivers.
Now click flash.
The flashing is quick, and now your phone is fixed.
Any doubts, free feel to ask!
Tested on Redmi Note 4 Global Snapdragon Version

My phone camera laggy, video play laggy, and acceloremeter not working... @FalconMaster
Please help me! I did the flash, it worked correctly! but now you're saying that you have your account and my device is locked! 170 ****** mi account number. there it is reporting that it is linked to your account. please contact me at PM, and help me.
This method is not working for redmi 4x
Please give me persist.img file for redmi 4x for locked device. I tried your given method but it's not working in my device it show file and device does not match
..
sorry for my bad English
Different phones
For everyone with different phones, you need to get to Mi website, download the fastboot ROM for your phone and flash the persist only. This can be done by removing all lines from the xml file, except the one that flashes the persist. After that, flash it normally as in this guide.
Redmi note 5a prime
Hi, is this working on note 5a prime?, When I bought it the only problem is when I use camera, causing some lag, need to open and close again. Also when video recording.
Hello. For the first time I write on this forum and I want first of all to thank all of you for sharing your work and knowledge.
I would like to know if I can follow this procedure having already installed the pixel experience rom and the mido 8.2.1 firmware.
Thanks in advance and forgive my bad english.
Aaa
Please help me. I cant boot into edl wih Mi Note 3.
Aa
I cant boot into EDL. So, can i flash it with fastboot. Please help me. Im using mi note 3
Man, I don't really know how that worked for you. Your script erases persist and flashes rpm.mbn to persist, that file isn't even present images folder.
then open cmd on the folder of fastboot...... which folder do u mean ?
i used "C:\XiaoMi\XiaoMiFlash\Source\ThirdParty\Google\Android\fastboot.exe" it detects the device but the phone's screen doesn't turn off and the led isn't blinking red, it stay at the LOGO FASTBOOT ....
i tried to flash it with XiaoMiFlash.. it detects the phone but it errors out...
i have Redmi Note 4 Global Snapdragon Version
Does this method work on custom roms?
Im on Los 15.1 and my gps doesnt work. Will this fix it?
fixed my problem on redmi note 4x
Thank you so much FalconMaster.
it fixed my problem on redmi note 4x (mido).
Thank Thank you very much.
Great guide :good:
So I read everything. Will this method work for my MI 9 global version ? After unlocking the bootloader, I flashed de Android Q beta from the official web page, using MiFlash(I think that's the correct name). So I didn't like the Beta one and downloaded the global stable version, flashed with MiFlash. Everything was perfect, but my Accelerometer and Gyroscope won't work. What do you suggest? Thanks a lot!
I recently bought a Zenfone Max m1 (ZB556kl)
I am using it for around a month and came with an error of camera. I jumped to xda looking for a solution for zb556kl Google camera but ended up with nothing, as Max pro m1 and Max m1 were launched at the same time so people considered for Max pro m1 and developed it but Max m1 stood behind. I considered some forums for Max m1 in the threads and all of them said to unlock the phone through Asus unlock tool .
I downloaded the tool and tried to unlock but nothing happened (not even a reboot) .
It gave me an error of
Unknown error occurred ,which may be a network connection issue
I was using a fast internet of my router even tried though my mobile data. I also changed country by using proxied and VPN but no solution .
Some people said that your device is not registered but my device is registered even on Asus device tracker .
I just want to unlock my phone install twrp and root it .
As it is a treble supported device so I also want to install custom system images on it
