Hey all, These instructions are assuming you have a 2.15ghz 570KL. I'm not responsible if your phone gets bricked any further. Grab the standalone adb/fastboot tools https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools Grab recovery.img from 15.0210.1808.70, grab...

I tried the tool, but it was having trouble putting my phone into EDL mode. I tried various methods, like vol+ and vol- while rebooting and changing the fastboot command to send and edl reboot command but it didn't stick. I'll keep trying to get it to work though. In any case, did you try the...

I took a look at the updated trace. Looks good up to where the computer tries to interact with the device. It seems there's a signature validation it's failing, possibly because the source FRP file isn't official. In Configure > Firehose configuration, is the option for validation on? If it's...

dcraffam, what's the version of QFIL that you're using? I don't see any mentions of some of the keywords I was expecting (i.e. Sahara, firehose, rawprogram0.xml) The QFIL I linked is 2.0.1.1. I think the older one isn't compatible with UFS.

Darn, was really hoping it would work. Would you mind running it again, and then copying and saving the output text, and then post it here? I'd like to use it to research it further. Also, what do you mean by make a backup? Do you have more information regarding this process?

A (Rough!!!) Guide to (Hopefully) Unbricking the ZS570KL from 9008 issue So let's get started, dcraffam. As a *DISCLAIMER* I am not responsible for any damage this may cause your phone (Although how much more damage can really be done when it's bricked?) This is all based on theory, as my...

So, I've got bad news, and hopefully good news. First the bad news. From the research I have done, I believe the method that you've presented here will not work. This is because around the time when the Snapdragon 820 came out, many companies opted to use UFS over EMMC, as it's essentially the...

Hey! I'm currently in the process of trying to get this sorted out. I don't want to get to into the explanation of it, but would you kindly edit your post to remove that file list. There's nothing personal in it, but I'd rather the contents of my SD card be kept private. In short, the command...

https://www.phonearena.com/news/Asus-ZenFone-3-Laser-ZenFone-3-Zoom-ZenFone-3-Deluxe-receive-Oreo-March_id103395 The wait will soon be over! Hope the update isn't buggy :p

Hey, I checked it out and have followed the instructions. Didn't know this was a thing and thought it would be good to have just in case a flash goes wrong. Before you download, I'd like for you to confirm that my model was what you asked for: the ZS570KL with a 2.15GHz Snapdragon 820 CPU. If...

That's weird to me though. I just checked again and both variants are missing the current update, 5.17.44.87. Did they pull it for some reason? As far as I can tell, my phone is behaving pretty normally. Anyone that's updated notice anything weird? I've removed the link. This article claims...

Good to hear. Hmm, I think I'll do that. I'll make some small zip files for each. ---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 PM ---------- Sorry for re-quoting all of you, but do you guys see the update anymore? It might have been why /u/indiana99 couldn't...

You're right about that. I've updated my post to reflect it. This 100%. I think that it's important to backup any data that isn't already backed up. I can only hope that those who do have to go through this update process (as opposed to OTA updates) are careful with which versions they...

Update Impressions Happy to report that the update has improved my phone's performance. Before, when I would go to the gym, listening to Spotify via Bluetooth would drain the battery from 95%->60%. Post update, battery stayed above 80% from full charge. It also feels a bit faster overall. It's...

Interesting, was this an issue with the WW-5.17.44.68 update or has this been an ongoing issue? I didn't bother with the previous one because it didn't seem to do a whole lot, but never noticed this issue. I hate doing this juggle. Big part of why I don't try to update unless it's significant...

That's rough. I haven't bothered with the update because it's too much of a hassle right now to go to stock recovery and update. I think your best bet would be to stay on your backed up firmware and wait out the Oreo update (which should be soon as well.) Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully it...

Yep. ZS570KL owner checking in. Been checking incessantly because I really wanted to get my hands on Oreo and ZenUI 4.0! Saw the news that Zenfone 3 had gotten the update, checked the update page on the Asus website to find there was only a minor update waiting for me, released a little bit...

Alright just to confirm, you pressed and held both combinations (power+volUp/power+volDown), and it doesn't even power on correct? And you press and hold the power button, it does absolutely nothing? And the phone itself is charged correct? Like blahforme mentioned, did you grab the correct...

Ok, please elaborate on these so I can get an idea of what we're working with. Can you power on your phone into fastboot mode (vol. up +power)? If you can get it to boot to that, I think there's a good chance you can salvage it. Did you use "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" when installing...

Can you tell me what model Asus you have, as well as which firmware you grabbed from the site? Someone else on here had a scare with a black screen and a long boot but it eventually worked for them. I don't think this is the case though. Did you try rebooting into recovery? If you followed...

Sweet! Looks great. Haven't heard of SD Maid til today and it looks pretty awesome. Gonna give it a whirl. Can't confirm, sadly. Gonna have to wait until they actually have an update out to test it. I haven't gotten anything since December, the 20161228 build. Doubt anything minor will show...

Glad to see it working for you! Ah yeah. I have the same issue. I settled for hiding the apps with Nova Launcher, disabling them in Settings>Apps, and then trying to delete their stubs in Titanium. The app is still there though. Do let us know if deleting them via file manager works.

No problem. Is everything working alright for you? The unroot script was a batch file or something that went through and cleaned out any instances of root, busybox, etc. I didn't link it because I lost the link and didn't feel like it was necessary anyways, since you flash the stock firmware.

Someone posted this in another thread, but just as a heads-up, there's a TWRP Recovery that's been working for me without issues. https://mega.nz/#F!EkFF1CJD!C8o2wXMARW3YJFOipDttbA SD card and touchscreen working for me. Using z016D_20170218 image and not the older one. 6/64gb 820.

Thanks for this. Posting the Mega so people don't have to make an Asus account to grab it. https://mega.nz/#F!EkFF1CJD!C8o2wXMARW3YJFOipDttbA The 20170218 recovery works perfectly with my phone (6/64gb, 820). The first one posted in the OP worked, but was a bit glitchy. The updated one has...

That's a good question. We won't really know until ASUS puts out the Nougat update.

Gotcha, edited the post to reflect that. Good to see Android pay is working as well! ---------- Post added at 01:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 AM ---------- I was able to flash the stock firmware from the ASUS website, along with Magisk and an unlocked bootloader. Maybe you...

Ayyy glad you got it to work! Hopefully you can use the SafetyNet apps you want to. I don't remember having to toggle Magisk Hide as it was just on for me, but I'll edit the post to let people know.

Got Magisk Working Thanks for this, thought I should share my experience with it. For the record, I have the 6/64gb version of the phone. Your instructions worked perfectly. Root achieved, bootloader unlocked. However, I was having issues with SafetyNet and root. Sometimes I would lose root...

Thanks for the reply. Which brand are you using? I picked up the Sparin brand from Amazon. Thanks for the reply. It does raise the suspicion that it's a screen protector problem.

I checked the Q&A section beforehand to see if anyone else was having similar issues, but didn't see any similar threads. The Problem: Sometimes, when pressing the back button (and to a much smaller extent, the home and recent apps) it double taps. For example, pressing back to go back a page...

Don't think anyone's gonna see this, but did anyone ever use the Symbian based Nokia phones? I used to own an N95 and I thought that was the most amazing thing in the world... and that was only 4 years ago. Much has changed in the smartphone world, hasn't it.

Woo! Yeah, pretty sure it's going to get Kitkat. Even if it doesn't officially, there are always roms haha.

Extended battery I'm currently using the 7000mAh batter from Amazon, and it's been doing me wonders. I don't think my habits are conducive to good battery life, and I like to use my phone a lot for Clash of Clans, amongst other things. Haven't charged it since yesterday, but it's seen some...

Doin' my part to help out. I have pretty good bandwidth, so might as well. I use an SIII, but my brother's still using the SG4G with everything stock, and I'm trying to help him figure out the best combo. It wouldn't be possible without those still developing today. Cheers for keeping this phone...
