Help with Asus Zenfone V live - Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi forum!
I started this post because I couldn't find info about the Asus Zenfone V Live (V500KL).
I used this phone for a day and the wifi was fine, I did a factory reset because I was going to gift it to someone and the wifi didn't work anymore. Same thing happended with 3 devices (same model).
I tried using the software upgrade assistant from Asus and verizon, it downloaded the software and re installed it apparently but it didn't work.
Do you know if this can be fixed or if I can install a custom rom on this one? If installing a custom rom is possible, can I use these from the Zenfone 5 ?
Thanks a lot.

Hey. I'm in the same situation, too, but I have a Zenfone V (V520kl). I happened to pass by these links to take you to AutoRoot Tools to install TWRP and one of the following custom ROMs to your phone (the following are also YouTube Links):
Mod edit. Links removed. Youtube deleted the account.
I tried the AutoRoot .apk in the comments, but it told me to download an app and do something in it to move on. I did exactly that, but it wouldn't let me. Then I went to these websites, but these download websites want you answer a stupid survey for a reward to move on. And there's no other way to download a ROM to these phones. Also, I don't know about ROMs for the Zenfone V (V500KL), but there apparently are some for the V520KL. But you can find out if there are some for yours with AutoRoot Tools. You think you can answer one of these questions to download AutoRoot Tools for Windows? If so, upload the Windows zip you receive here so I can get a custom ROM too? Thanks, man. Really appreciate it.

I am having the exact same problem and can't use Google Play Store/Gmail on my China Mobile S4 variant (i9508). Did you manage to apply the firmware? Does anyone know if applying i9505 firmware will work? Thanks!
Maybe do a nandroid backup and then try and see?

Hello,
No ideas about the storage, but I installed the Jellybam on the S4 and everything working smoothly. This is a temporary solution for me as the jellybam is clearly not made for S4 as we loose the camera and all other S4 gadget
If anybody now an official rom working well, i would be happy to try it :angel:
Rooting S4 GT-I9508
Hi there,
I recently bought the China Mobile 3G Version of the Samsung Galaxy S4 (S4 GT-I9508) here in Shanghai and quite obviously ran into a world without Google / Google apps / Google Play and so on. I kinda knew this would happen and the only reason I purchased this was to have 3G on my phone as I knew I could always root it later. Since you've already rooted your phone I suppose you would be the best person to ask these questions too:-
a) After you rooted your phone, are you still able to go on 3G ?
b) Any restrictions / limitations that you've noticed after you rooted it? I suppose Google Play and all the apps are fine and that you are able to download apps directly from the market?
c) Did you root the phone personally or Did you get someone in some store / etc to do it for you. I would rather prefer giving my phone to someone whose done this quite a few times than going ahead and experimenting on it. Any suggestions on whom/ where I could go to do it?
Thanks
Ben

Hello,
i bought GT-I9508 in china, too, and can use Google store, gmail, map now.
i've rooted my phone and installed TWRP recovery
and used "ROM Manager" to download and install gapps
then i've come to be able to use gapps.
but at this time, there was a problem that sometimes an error occurred which said "com.google.process.gapps has stopped",
so i've used "Titanium Backup" to uninstall gapps except store, gmail, google account (removed apps contained gapps but i don't use).
after that i've never seen the error but i don't know if this solution is really effective, so there still might be any error.
in addition, after i installed gapps using ROM Manager, i couldn't open ROM Manager any more, so i've uninstalled it, too.

Hello DUSKnenixs, thank you for your answer!!
So, I have some question... First, I'm noob in android world...
What are you meaning by "dwn mode" and "csc file" ?
What I have doing yesterday:
- first, I have installing TWRP by ODIN to come back in the factory setting
- after, I have installing the French ROM (GT-I9505 phone I9505XXUBMEA_I9505OXXBMF1_I9505XXUBMEA_HOME) by ODIN, but this step are not finnish, the status in ODIN was "FAIL" when the progress was about 95%
- after I have reboot the phone and let him start with this French ROM
I have not tested everything but the phone displays a Wifi default and asked to reboot. Even after reboot, it is impossible to activate the WIFI.
So, can you explain me, step by step what I have to do and with witch file & tool..?

Any i9505 AOSP rom will work on your Chinese SGS4 phone. The Chinese version, i9508 is basically i9505 with special software and no 4g. I am currently using an Android 4.3 rom on my i9508.
Hello all,
I have find a way to make my S4 completely in French (with French keyboard and dictionary) and with all Google App fully working without flash it with another ROM.
If someone are interested, please let me know and I'll explain step by step what i have done on my phone.

[Q] Alcatel OT Idol X 6040A ROOT and ROM HELP

I have been doing research for days and it seems this website has the best rep and volume of knowledgeable Android users.
IT would also seem that ROOTing the Alcatel One Touch 6040A is a pain in the back side. Everyone has had an issue with their wi-fi afterward
So my question is can anyone give a definitive answer on whether the 6040A can be rooted and then moded with any stable ROM's?
double post
Can I pick someone's ear on rooting and installing ROM's for a minute? I'm tech savvy, but this will be my first Android modification and ROOT/ROM process.
Why am I here? I'm trying to root an Alcatel one touch Idol X 6040A and then install the most functional ROM that's higher than the 4.2.1 JB version I already have. AFAIK VROOT is the best option although some people still have issues afterward regarding ROM installations and Network connectivity.
I have yet to find a tutorial specific to the OT 6040A with positive feedback, so I'm very reluctant and hesitant to attempt this until I've done ALL of my homework.
Can someone possibly direct me to definitive ROOTing and ROM installation instructions that have been verified to work?
I see this thread, but it's 600+ posts I have to go through and there are only bits and pieces regarding the 6040A. There isn't a clear answer on this model so please, anyone...lol. Help.
______________________
Some main questions are;
- Does the phone fully function after ROOT? I have read around these forums specifically that 6040A users can not connect to networks after ROOT.
Also if the phone works properly, does it work "better"?
- Are there any fully functional and stable ROMs available to justify the ROOTing the 6040A?
- If something goes wrong or I'm not satisfied with the ROOT, is it possible to revert back to factory settings with no issues?
I have successfully rooted my 6040A using vroot.

Could you please provide the links for the tools and ROM you used?
This is my first time doing this and everything is so vague regarding this model.
Here is the link for vroot (will auto update after installation) :
http://www.mediafire.com/download/v3e3mtgxp1khlar/VRoot_1.6.0.3690_Setup.exe
Use this tutorial for rooting your 6040a
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f90...y-all-andriod-phone-not-metter-brand-1726731/
The rom i have is the stock one, installed by the alcatel app : http://www.alcatelonetouch.com/glob...CH_IDOLX/otu/mobile-upgrade-s-4-3-0-setup.rar
The important thing is to have to have the adb over usb enabled. you can do this in the dev options in the settings : http://www.technewscentral.co.uk/ho...her-android-4-2android-4-3android-4-4/id_7250
Good luck
ps : i once tried a 4.4 rom but the problem was with the band used by my provider (telus). So i go back to 4.2 stock

Ok. Also, you're not using a custom rom?
Custom rom is the entire reason I rooted lol
Well, this forum hasn't been much help at all except one or two people who actuallyreply to the best of their knowledge (and I thank you very much), but I'll try again here...
I have succesfully been able to root and install several ROM's on the 6040A, however as predicted there are mobile network issues.
The problem is the network band. I am bale to enter engineer mode but when I go to select the bands for Bell for the ones I require are grayed out and unselectable. Has anyone come across a solution for this?

Note4(SM-N910G) - Either WIFI or SIM is working - both at once -> no chance

Hi guys,
i was the last few days here in this Forum and tried to educate myselfe about flashing and Roms and all that stuff. But to be honest it seems that this problem is beyond everything i can handle. I really hope you guys can help me.
My plan was that i flash a clean (bloatweare free) ROM on my new (secondhand) Note 4. At first i tried the unofficial CM 13 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/unofficial-cm13-0-910f-g-t3243386) mod. Everything was fine until i recognized that i dont have wifi. All i got was a weird WLAN-MAC (02.00.00.00.00.00). I just coudlnt enable my WIFI.
(ROM-Flashing with odin (3.09) and TWRP Indian Version (twrp-3.0.2-0-trltedt.img.tar)
I just thought its maybe the ROM which just doesnt fit to my mobile, so i tried the official nightly version from the CM Site Version 12.1 (https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=trltexx) But no success with that one either. The same problem. At that point i was pretty clueless about whats happening here and i started to panic a little. I was searching a few days about the WIFI Problem but coudltn find any solution. There was a Nexus-thread with the same problem but they didnt find a solution either.
At this point i was pretty sure that i messed up my mobile but i didnt give up.
I found the Nameless Rom (5.1.1.) here in this Forum and i tried it. The flashing was without any problems... and i was really happy that the first setup asked my about my wifi...until i recognized that this time the problem was that my Note4 couldnt find my SIM. Its really crazy
I tried everything. I tried to flash it again with different bootloaders and modems (from the ROM-Thread) and then i recognized that this time my SIM works but my WIFI wasnt there anymore. I dont know what to do anymore.

Please help me. I dont know what to do anymore :/ I am a noob, so please forgive me if i missed to give you important information. If you give me advice i will give you any information you need about my mobile!
Thanks for your help!
This is a really weird issue. I have never heard of this before. Try flashing the stock ROM with ODIN.
Good luck.
Thank you for you replay. I was thinking the same and read a little about it.
I have downloaded SamFirm and tried to download the correct firmware for my mobile. But unfortunatly thats not so easy as i thought.
MY modelnumber is SM-N910G. Since my mobile is manufactured in Thailand i assume that the software needs the region code from this country but i cant find the right one. Is Thailand even the right one?
Based on the pictures attached in the orignal post can you maybe help me to find out which code is the correct one?!
if someone finds this thread and has the same problem: I solved it by installing Dr.Ketan's ROM

ZC520TL X800DC Stock ROM

I'm looking for a stock rom (raw or img) for ZC520TL US version. I've literally attempted to update to the latest version available on ASUS website via twrp and all it's doing is just wiping /system, and not installing anything.
Or if anyone has the stock recovery for it that'll also be a major help.
Thanks!

I realize that this post is kind of old but, if you're still interested, you can find the stock rom at www DOT needrom DOT com. Search for "X008". I would post a link, but noobs aren't allowed to.
I used it a couple of days ago with SP Flash Tool to unbrick my phone, so I know it works.

I'm scaring to brick my phone. So how to backup all things ?

Hello friends,
I would like to install custom rom on my phone Note 4 sm-n910C . I'm not an experienced person for it. But basicly I know that I need to root my phone 1st then install suitable version of TWRP on my phone. And then I can backup my stock rom and all things. Then install custom rom file.
But I scare to brick my phone doing this procedure. So I wonder, can i backup my phone's stock rom and other all things (kernel, firmware, modem etc...) without TWRP ? I mean , can do it with pc software ?
And if my phone become brick, thus, can i restore it completely via pc then ?
If i can do that, how ?
I'll be appreciate if you help me ?
Choose your Country and phone provider and download the stock ROM from Sammobile
If it's needed then use Odin to reload it. There's plenty of guides how to use it including those that explain how to root. I recently rooted one of my Note 4s, a N910C and apart from using a slightly older version of TWRP was pretty straightforward.
I used this guide and the downloaded the files from the links in it but there's other's available but be 100% sure you're following the guide for a N910C.
I'm not that knowledgeable about Rooting compared to many people on here although I've rooted all my Tablets and Phones but seem to recall you may need to use an older version of Odin to do so. The most difficult problem I had was getting the correct driver installed that would recognise all my devices and even that was just persistence. Just read everything a few times and double check you have the correct files before you start, it's pretty straightforward.
In all the above comments I'm assuming you're using the last version of the stock ROM that was released.
@Big Elf
Thank you very much for your reply and explanation. I looked at your shared pages. And I'd like to start it.
But I have some quesitons to not make a mistake. If you guide me, I will be appreciate.
But before that let me share my phone feautres screen shots. You may see all detailed information.

And My Questions
1- First of all ty for rooting page. According to explanation i'm going to root my phone. But I wonder that android version is matter or not. My phone version is 6.0.1 as you see. Is it okay, its suitable for my phone, right ?
2- As far as I read on internet, There are all TWRP versions are different for all diffrent smartphones. According to above scrshoot informations, which is the suitable, stable and latest version for my phone ? And Where can i find it from ? Or if its possible could you forward me exact page and/or link please ?
Because my scared major thing is that. Wrong type of TWRP. And so brick my phone. Btw, let me ask, wrong version lead to brick phone, right ?
If I install the true type (version anyway) of TWRP then I will be relax. Because after that, process will be very easy for me. I experienced from Huawei's first phone "IDEOS X5" . I have installed TWRP and custom roms on it , on years 2012-2013. I only scare to make mistake via perform it on note 4 & brick it.
Thank you so much again.
You've made your first mistake . I explained you need to read everything carefully and double check you have the correct files before starting so that you're reasonably confident that you know what you're doing.
The link I posted explaining how to root also has the link to the version of TWRP and Odin needed to install and Root it but you didn't read it properly.
You're running the same version of the ROM I have on my N910C albeit a different country (which won't make a difference).
If you install the Official TWRP App from Team Win you can update TWRP after rooting. I'd also suggest installing the SuperSu (Pro) App from Codingcode which will update itself after rooting. I also use Root Checker (Pro) from joeykrim to check that root has worked and SuperSu has installed correctly. All those apps are available in the Play Store. I pay for the Pro versions as I appreciate the work that's gone into them and as a thank you to the developers.
You don't have to root it so don't feel that you have to do so.
Although all my phones are rooted my Note 4s (N910Fs and a N910C) still run the stock ROM and the main reasons I did so was to run Adaway and also to debloat neither of which are essential. I also wanted to know how to do it.
Installing another non-Samsung ROM has 4 main disadvantages:
You lose the fine control over the OLED screen including the boost mode in bright sunlight
You lose some of the functionality of the s-pen
You lose a lot of quality from the camera that you won't get back with any ROM.
Most of the ROMs have some faults other than those just mentioned but are usually but not always minor.
