Hello, today I've received my Zenfone 2 wich came with 32GB ROM and 4 GB RAM. I got it from a Chinese website, and suprisenly it comes with Google Apps installed. Even if you make a factory reset. Even the build number says WW. But in the website they say it is a CN version. I think they have flashed it or something!
Anyway, when I installed few apps, and tried to uninstall some of them, my phone kept rebooting. This problem occures when I try to disable an app as well.
Anyone? Please help
If you going to root and install roms, then just install one of the custom stock roms or the aosp roms. If not and don't need the lte bands on the WW firmware then best to flash back to CN firmware
Same problem

Hello Kamen, I bought mine from TinyDeal as well. Honestly, never going to buy a product from them anymore! But luckly I have found a way to fix it. Download the official Zenfone 2 frimware from the website and put it on a SD Card, then flash it using a custom recovery, I used CWM Recovery to flash it (choose from external SD Card).
Now I'm running on the latest update. And everything is working fine!
It is not a WW Model, it is CN. But I changed mine to WW Firmware. By flashing both recovery and firmware to WW.

Hi everyone,
I'm not new on the forum but it was a long time i logged into the system.
I have some questions how i get the orginal stock rom for my phone. Last year my collegue update and flashed my phone with a good rom but now i can't update anymore. So i decided to return the phone to the orignal stock rom.
How may i do that, i saw similar threads but a lot of them are already one year old so i taught i ask it on a new thread.
Good to know:
- i have no backup;
- i have the bootloader Team Win Recovery Project v2.8.7.0;
- i accidentally erased everything (except the bootloader);
What i want:
- Original bootloader, so i can get the orginal Asus updates;
- Original and newest stock rom.
And offcourse how i do all of this?
It's for the Asus Zenfone 2 with 4GB ram and the intel Atom 1.8 Ghz 32Gb Storage.
Just download raw firmware and flash with ASUS Flash Tool.
Then boot in bootloader and start the tool after you have connected your Zenfone to your computer. Choose "ZE551ML" from Model select list, choose "Yes" to wipe data and select the downloaded raw firmare with the package icon. Afterwards press start to flash firmware.
Try this : - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5BNfaU_O9o
this helped me alot thank you. I will wait offical MM after all.
Hi there,
After few hours i fixed it by myself. I flashed it in twrp the recovery and system img back to stock. After i downloaded the stock Rom and applied it tru adb option.
Now it's working again.

After that, are you able to update the phone using official FOTA or have to update it manually ?
this seems what i was looking for
Good Day all,
I was wondering, is it possible to revert to the stock recovery after installing the Global ROM on the mi mix 3 China Version?
Reason I am wondering is because when I/We receive a OTA update from Xiaomi while using the Global ROM, will the phone be able to update or will it just freak out on me/us and die?
Currently I am waiting for my Bootloader to be unlocked (ETA 70HRS), I have all files necessary files downloaded (TWRP, Global ROM, Magisk v17.1)
Help/Advice would be appreciated :good:
Kind Regards

I find you very helpful in the forum and I would like to ask you few questions, I am thinking about buying the device but only chinese version is available here and I cant wait for the global to arrive
my questions are:
1- global version only released with 6GB RAM , if I got chinese version with 8GB , will it be able to run the global ROM ?
2- I have never flashed a ROM before , but I have strong knowledge in linux and command lines, will this be a hard task for me to do ? is it risky to brick the device ?
3- After flashing the Global ROM , will I receive official OTA updates directly from xaiomi without any problems ?

1. Yes no problem, I'm on 8GB model and worked fine
2. Really hard to hard brick, soft brick possible but easily fixable via fastboot to flash new system, boot etc
3. I believe so, not tested as there isn't a 2nd global update out?

Is it also possible to Re-lock the bootloader after the completion?
After ! have put the Global ROM on the phone, i want to:

2. un-root

Is this possible?
Is there a copy of the original Recovery available?

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Only relock the bootloader on the ROM base it came with. So if your phone came with the Chinese ROM do not relock bootloader with global. If you do it's goodbye phone
Stock ROM will install stock recovery once phone has booted up

You'd have to use the Xiaomi EU rom with or without magisk as the global ROM has a CTS mismatch so won't pass safety net.

No, flashing the ROM will keep TWRP installed as it's a custom miui ROM.
OTA works and will automatically flash the update via TWRP for you.

Just a quick update for you all that I have successfully, unlocked the Bootloader and installed the ROM.
Just a quick note to mention that after you do:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP_perseus.img
DO NOT put in the command:
fastboot boot TWRP_perseus.img
After flashing TWRP just take your phone (either connected or disconnected from PC) and hold vol up and power. It will reboot in TWRP.
I tried rebooting into the recovery using the above command line and it just rebooted into MIUI Recovery.
Hope this helps :good:
GAPPS
Has anyone tried to flash GAPPS onto this ROM safely or would it mess everything up?
im on global with my note 8t global 11.0.3.0, thinking of going to eea rom debloated, iv seen xiaomi.eu_multi_HMNote8T_V11.0.7.0.PCXEUXM_v11-9, i assume its the correct one im after, is it worth it.
i have unlocked my bootloader, no twrp yet just though, i assume i have to use twrp to to convert to eea? and not miflash.
to me unlike the old days with marmallow roms, you cannot backup rom to sd card anymore, only internal? seems a waste.
why is this though or am i wrong, a lot of people seem to be having problems flashing with errors..unlike the old days!
so back to my question... is it worth it, saving rom backup to sd card is the only reason i will do it, if i cannot then ill just leave it.
Re: @bluefender
Downgrading or changing area version need to do a clean flash through fastboot. You can do this by MiFlash.
According to your description, your current version is V11.0.3.0.PCXMIXM Global Version. The fastboot ROM for this version:
https://bigota.d.miui.com/V11.0.3.0...XM_20200319.0000.00_9.0_global_f0a94ec54f.tgz
You can use the link above to rollback to this version you are using (V11.0.3.0.PCXMIXM Global Version).
This link below is the version you want, V11.0.7.0.PCXEUXM Europe Version. Download link is shown below:
https://bigota.d.miui.com/V11.0.7.0...XEUXM_20200318.0000.00_9.0_eea_11e5f4d0c9.tgz
Changing area version will erase all your personal data. Take a backup on a safe storage device.
can i flash it with orange fox ? i tried mi flash didnt work, had all the correct drivers, i did how ever flash willow_eea_global_images_V11.0.9.0.PCXEUXM_20200522.0000.00_9.0_eea_ef896cff18 through orangefox, worked perfectly.

This is a fastboot ROM. Flash it through fastboot. Or you can flash recovery ROM through custom recovery.

A: If you flash a Xiaomi.eu ROM, doesn't matter the region of your device. It's just a zip file, just like before, always in TWRP. My older RN8T has a xiaomi.eu_multi_HMNote8T_V11.0.7.0.PCXEUXM_v11-9 (EEA based), but it was Global. My actual RN8T is EEA, and i have installed xiaomi.eu_multi_HMNote8T_V11.0.4.0.PCXMIXM_v11-9 (Global based)

Shows you which error?
Did you try to install it via local update?
Anyway, your best bet is to install TWRP and flash the CN ROM through TWRP.
Alternatively, use miflash tool in the unofficial unbrick tool to flash the CN firmware via edl mode
Nubia package error
Bro when I purchased the phone the software was 3.16 global,then I changed it to 4.16 with local update,but I was trying the same thing with the Chinese software when I go to the local update and I press the install button the mobile shut down and goes to the software installation but after 10% or something it shows package error and just reboot it self.i don't know what to do now. sorry my English is not good

Use TWRP; follow the link below, root your device then flash CN ROM from TWRP.
Back up your data cos flashing TWRP will wipe everything.
Also, when installing CN, get version 6.23
All the best

There you are. Its the 6.23 version of the cn rom
This directs to the 5s version but both the 5s and 5g versions of this rom are identical. ( Md5 checksum proves its the same file)

Otg refers to a external usb device you connect to the phone. If you have the update.zip on the root of the internal memory it should show up.
If it does not. You should use the root without unlocking bootloader tutorial to install TWRP. The zip will flash from there with no problems.
