Dear XDA members, my friend have bricked his phone after trying to update to lollipop 5.1.1 from 5.0.1.
Error message: "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.location has stopped"
I have wiped cache via recovery,boot into safe mode, and even factory reset wipe data but still getting the same error.
I have searched for ways to flash stock using google/xda and i was instructed to download the stock firmware and flash via adb in recovery.
However in my recovery, there was no option to "Update via ADB".
The only options available are, 1)reboot system now 2)Apply update from internal storage 3)Apply update from external storage 4)Wipe data/factory reset 5)Wipe cache partition 6)Apply update from cache.
Current phone model Asus A500KL, WW variant ( i suppose? got it from recovery version as stated below.)
Recovery version 1.8 KOT49H.WW_Phone-11.4.6.94-20141218
From here, i believe the updated firmware the phone is running on is 11.4.6.94, and thus, i have downloaded 3 version of the stock firmware to flash, UL-ASUS_T00P-WW-12.4.5.58-user, UL-ASUS_T00P-WW-11.4.6.88-user and UL-ASUS_T00P-WW-11.4.6.94-user
I also have the downgrade version from Android L to KK which is WW_A500KL-11.4.6.94-20141218_M3.5.22-ota-user.zip
I am uncertain which version will unbrick the phone and put it into the brand new state. (Also, please tell me if the version i downloaded is correct for the phone)
*All of the versions are downloaded from Asus itself.
I would appreciate if someone can tell me how and which version of the stock rom to be flashed.
*Note that the phone is stuck at the error i have mentioned above, and there is no option to sideload or flash via adb in the recovery. It was running on android 5.0.1 before the update, and the 5.1.1 update caused it to be soft bricked.
Will it be possible if i were to just move the 11.4.6.94 downgrade version into my SD card and choose on "Apply update from External storage?",, likewise for the other older version?
Would it be wise if i were to flash the same version again (not the downgrade version) and see if it works?
Does it sound like a Hardware of software issue?
Any reply will be greatly appreciated!
Have you tried reflashing the firmware?

Ps: i am the OP friend with the bricked phone
I am unable to use the phone at all
That is my question.
Which version should I flash via adb Fast boot ( I don't have update via adb option in recovery).
Will it work If I transfer the same firmware version to the phone sd And update from there? ( does same version allow update from external storage?)

Try flashing UL-ASUS_T00P-WW-11.4.6.94-user via adb sideload.

i mentioned twice in both the first post and the 3rd post that i don't have that option in my recovery. I only have update from cache, update from internal storage, and update from external storage. I would appreciate to know if using the apply update from external storage option would fix the phone as the version number is exactly the same and thus, it would be not installed as it is not "an update". Currently we do not have an sd card with us, and is unable to push the file into the internal memory, so would really appreciate if someone can guide me on whether getting an sd card and moving the same firmware version into the sd to apply update from external storage will works.

did U found any solution??
I saw there was a thread for the regular Shield Tablet update, but not the K1 5.2 update. Thought it would be a good idea to have a separate thread so we don't get devices mixed up when reporting issues.

Make that two. Loos like all data is lost and I can't seem to make the SD Card work again.

So far no issues with the SD Card on mine.
Sd card (sandisk extreme pro 32GB) as adoptable storage, update went fine, everything works, to "fix" battery drain enable doze under settings in power/performance section.
Before doze was enabled by default and couldnt be disabled, too many people compained about lag while waking up the device from sleep, so doze is disabled after the update, u can manually enable it again.
I thought my sd card was corrupted..took it out..put it back in and then restarted...was read fine again.
For the first time in a while, I feel like they increased performance with this update, along with battery standby. Rotating the tablet and multi-window used to have a small pause \ hiccup, but now it seems very fast and optimized.
Nice work Nvidia!

The new update turning Doze off by default is like having a new tablet. All the lag issues are gone.

I have a stock, rooted K1 and was running 5.1. The popup saying that 5.2 was available appeared. Before I even realized what I was doing, I installed it. Bonehead move, I know...
Anyway, of course I lost root and TWRP. I reflashed TWRP (v3.1.1.1) successfully and plan on installing Systemless SuperSU. My question is regarding starting TWRP for the first time...
I get the prompt asking if I want to leave the system partition read only or to allow modifications. I can't recall which option I should choose and I can't find anything in my notes from when I initially installed the custom recovery and rooted it.
Would someone be so kind as to remind me which option to select?
Thank you.

Hi,
with this ZIP file, can I update my Shield K1 without loosing root?
I have tried downloading the ZIP to the SD card, with also the ZIP of SuperSU, then rebooting to TWRP: the ZIP will not flash.
My plan was to flash the update 5.2, then SuperSU.
Where I'm wrong?
Thanks!
Sorry, I don't know, I'm not rooted.

Recovery image is not flashed via TWRP and you would lose root (but this will happen regardless).
You want to download and flash the Full OTA .zip (see other thread) in TWRP and then flash the SuperSU .zip immediately afterward before rebooting.
If you've got a pyro tablet, you'll also need to take the additional steps to remove TegraOTA before you reboot into Android or you risk a brick.

I Just found this on a Nvidia forum ...
If you're rooted and have a custom recovery installed (TWRP) it's just a matter of downloading the FULL OTA .zip package (you can usually find the links posted here or on XDA forums) and installing from TWRP.
If you want to maintain root, simply install the latest SuperSU .zip immediately after flashing the OTA and before rebooting.
I too had problems with the SD card reported as corrupted. I did remove, replace, and reboot. It allowed me then to reformat the card.

I first downloaded the 5.2 OTA update using the official updater on the K1. After downloading I moved the zip file to my SD card. Then I followed the procedure above and successfully updated to 5.2 without losing my root or any apps

Hello,
i bought my Axon this week from Amazon Warehouse.
My problem is, that im not able to update my ROM.
I tried OTA, Install over Recovery (SD-Card), Install over Recovery (ADB Sideload).
All methods failed..
OTA is downloading the update, rebooting and than crashing. Hard to tell why, because i dont see any error logs. Just the information "Update Failed".
Next method i tried was to install over SD-Card. I downloaded the Update from ZTE, moved to my SD and tried to update. But my Smartphone always tells me "Couldn't mount /sdcard".. I tried to Format it with extFAT and FAT32 but both failed.
The last method I tried was using the ADB Sideload. I tried it with the update file, and also with the STOCK-Rom from this site: https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/download-center-factory-images-ota-t3606547. But also i get an error message.. ADB tellst me "Total xfer 0.00x"...
Have i bougth a bricked Axon? Can I update somehow to the new version?
I have the option to send it back to Amazon, but it was 100€ cheaper, so i would love to fix the problem.
Kind regards,
t4ggno
Recovery stock and SD card seem to be the most reliable method.
Did you check the md5 of the zip? Also update.zip to put on root of the SD card should be the final zip, not the zip that contains another zip.
Also when booting in Android, I assume your SD is recognized, isn't it?
If so, instead of going to recovery then update from SD card, you can try to update from inside Android, from Phone settings, then Update item.
The phone should indicate the current version and the version to be updated to. Then follow the phone indication to update.
Nope, i dont checked MD5. But shouldn't be the problen. I tried many different update files, always same error.
Yes, after booting the SD card is connected and i could use it. Just the recovery mode cant mount the card.
Also the updater recognize my update. But he just boot in the recovery mode and try to update -> Same error: "couldn't mount /sdcard"
Edit 1:
But i can check the MD5 files if necessary. I just need the "correct" MD5 value to compare.
Just a guess:
Is your micro SD card size greater than or equal to 128 GB? Some version has this bug, size less than or equal to 64 GB should work better. To try if this is the case.

Why are you using an SD card though? Put it in the root of the internal storage and it will surely pop up, then try again from Updates, not the recovery (and get the SD off the phone to avoid the phone from detecting the zip there)
Otherwise root and get TWRP and flash Tron1's stuff

Hm, last time it only recognize the update file on my SD card. I will try it tomorrow again and will post the result.
TWRP isnt a option, because i dont want to lose my warranty. Also i read that TWRP can be incompatible with Stock-ROM?!

I don't know where you read that, but the closest answer that I can give you is: if you don't install SuperSU, Magisk, or the dm-verity patch, TWRP will get replaced with the stock recovery and you'll have to flash it again (~2 minutes anyways). But it is in no way incompatible. Also you can relock and stuff, but yeah better keep the warranty at least until you're sure that your phone is good.
You unpacked the zip that you downloaded right? to get the update.zip inside? Or did you download it from raysteff's thread? It should work anyways
Another thing: What is your phone's model (G, U, chinese) and what is the update that you're trying to install? I guess it will fail if it is from another model, and if you're trying to jump fron a very old MM build to a very new N build it will probably fail too. Keep that in mind.
First, what is the version of your device?
I'm guessing you are using a chinese device with modified rom. Those units can't install updates unless you first restore to original chinese rom.

I have a A2017G (that information i found on the back of my phone).
My phone overview tells me:
Modelnumber: ZTE A201G
Build-Number: ZTE A2017GV1.0.0B08
Android-Version: 6.0.1
Security-Patch: 1. December 2016
I can try to install the B09. Probably this patch is required to go to version 10 (and than to nougat)?
Don't know if it applies to your situation, but when the OTA for 7.x came out, there was a bug that would not allow the update to be applied if there was an SD card installed. I know I had to pull my card to get the update to take. Might try running the OTA without the card installed and see if it works.

No, B09 was a patch only for Spain.
The zip you download from the ZTE website has a bunch of numbers as name and has an update.zip inside and a PDF or sth like that. The one you have to flash is the update.zip inside, just sayin'...
If you download the zips from raysteff's thread they are already unpacked.
Try installing an older zip, like B03, then B10

But install it from the internal storage and with thr Updates option on Android itself... You need to put it in the root of the internal storage or it most likely won't find the zip

Thanks! That worked very well. I did a factory reset and moved the update file directly to the root of my internal storage. After that the updater detected my update and I could install the Patch B011. After that i was able to update to Nougat trough OTA. No errors, every worked fine.

I have an Axon 7 European version ZTEA2017GV1.1.0B1
It has some bugs, for example the weird Google problem I still haven't solved. Since the Nougat update 7.1.1 is available, is there any way I could upgrade my phone from android 7.0 to 7.1.1? I tried to find links for .zip files but couldn't find any. I'd like to see if those bugs go away with the update, but some things I read said that I can't upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1... Help would be much appreciated.

If you've been using the phone a while and have plenty of user data, or have issues, for best results you should do a factory reset first to clear it of any junk and have maximum memory available. Backup your data. Also backup your call and message data. Make sure it's charged. Put the zip on the root of the SD card and go to updates in settings and point it to the zip file. It may find and run it on a reboot too. I can't remember.
You could also download the B04 zip and overwrite it first?
Australia has B10 MM and now B11 MM then you can update to B04 Nougat.
B08 seems only available from Germany. Still not sure whether I'll update to B08 or stay on B04 till we see if ZTE give us Oreo.
Here's the open device firmware page. Don't use A2017 or A2017U firmwares on an A2017G phone. Same goes for other models using the wrong firmware. The cellular support will be messed up and then need to fix it. Probably ruins partitioning too. Easiest just to use the correct firmwares.
The B11 MM zip seems also able to rollback to MM from Nougat.

If you've been using the phone a while and have plenty of user data, or have issues, for best results you should do a factory reset first to clear it of any junk and have maximum memory available. Backup your data. Also backup your call and message data. Make sure it's charged. Put the zip on the root of the SD card and go to updates in settings and point it to the zip file. It may find and run it on a reboot too. I can't remember.
You could also download the B04 zip and overwrite it first?
Australia has B10 MM and now B11 MM then you can update to B04 Nougat.
B08 seems only available from Germany. Still not sure whether I'll update to B08 or stay on B04 till we see if ZTE give us Oreo.
Here's the open device firmware page. Don't use A2017 or A2017U firmwares on an A2017G phone. Same goes for other models using the wrong firmware. The cellular support will be messed up and then need to fix it. Probably ruins partitioning too. Easiest just to use the correct firmwares.
The B11 MM zip seems also able to rollback to MM from Nougat.

I checked the update history and it says the phone has been updated from B10 to B01? Is B01 a newer version then?
And could you instruct further how to do that .zip thing, last time I tried it didn't work even though I put the file to the root of the internal sd card. Do I need a removable sd card in order for the updating to work or what went wrong? I have mifavor 4.2 but it's B01.1. should it be like that?
B10 was MM and sounds like B01 is an old Nougat.
Should be able to directly update to B04 or B08 from B01.
Even B04 is MiFavor 4.2 still. Probably need B08 to get to MiFavor 5.
Did you have the actual update zip file extracted out of the main downloaded zip?
Update.zip, not the whole lot with PDF etc. Should be on an SD card. I haven't tried it using internal storage. Did both mine from SD.
I accidentally wiped everything on my device when following a not-so-informative youtube video, it was my own fault for not questioning their steps at all, and I was going to install an update to Pixel Experience as it wasn't letting me do it normally. I have TWRP installed and I can boot into either that or fastboot manually but it won't let me transfer files from my PC onto my Xiaomi Mi 9T via Sideload, Mount, Drag and Drop, MTP is enabled and no other means I can think of work. Everything on my phone is able to be replaced as it was all in the cloud but I need my phone at the moment and from the research I've done I believe this should be a straightforward fix however, since I can't get the software onto my phone I can't boot to it. It also won't let me transfer the firmware required and so I get ERROR: 7 and "This package requires baseband from atleast V12.0.2.0.QFJMIXM. Please upgrade firmware and retry!" My PC recognises the phone is connected and can view the files on it but every time I try to drag anything into it it looks like it's going to work and then it just stops.
If you have any other information you require to assist me I will try to be as helpful as possible however, I am quite new to this so using laymens terms would be preferable.
Did you read the instructions on the pixel experience topic? First you need to flash the firmware package for your device from here: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/davinci/
Then flash the rom and format data. This should work.
I installed pixel experience this week and so far it is going well, I had to update from miui 11.0.1.0 android 9 to miui 12.0.3.0 so that ALL the system will be updated to android 10, and then I proceeded to install the pixel experience via twrp. Try to install Miui 11.0.1.0 and configure it, then from the system settings you look for the latest update, make sure the system has been updated to Android 10 before installing pixel experience. Try to use xiaomi flash tool to make a clear install

After "Format Data", you need to reboot your phone in TWRP to fix that.
