[GUIDE] [NOOB-FRIENDLY] Custom ROM Flashing Guide

[AryanAA]

Thanks.
I tried in 2 different pcs with different os (W7 and W10) but still return the same error.

Ps: i saw a strange thing:
In points 1,2,3 I am with the bootloader 90.11.162.111 but when I reboot as in point 4 the bootloader has changed to 80.30.96.111.

I'd recommend you upgrade to the latest Q firmware (official download link: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZS620KL/UL-Z01R-WW-100.10.107.92-user.zip)

Or just flash fbrom: https://broad-bread-4cee.reignz.workers.dev/[up_vnROM.net]_WW__ZS620KL_100.10.107.87_MR13_20200520_release-user.raw.zip

Download platform tools from here: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools#downloads

fastboot: error: cannot get boot partition size
in flash twrp (boot.img)...
Or it gets stuck in "Android" boot screen and restart loop.
Already tried 10x.

Hi. I'm on latest stock firmware (.110). I'm planning to switch to custom rom for the first time for this device, choosing evolution x. I have to follow just the first guide right? Do i need to flash DFE? Where can i download it? And when i have to flash it exactly following the guide? I guess i need it if i want encryption

Hi, we moved to OSS Vendor for all A11 based ROMs. Since it is decrypted by default, you don't need to flash dfe. The guide has been updated aptly as well, just follow it and you'll be good to go

Oh, so dfe is for decryption? I was wrong. Ok. Thanks. However I would like the encryption, or it is useless?

Some corporate apps require encryption, but in general it doesn't matter. We're working on fbe, but I'm not sure when will it be done.
