[GUIDE][FIX] No Camera Found Issue - Zenfone 5 General

Hi Guys, so i'm here today to share a solution to everyone out there with a no camera found issue after installing a custom rom.
After installing your custom rom and it is running good.
copy and save to your external or internal storage mnml freeze patcher by @milano88
next, boot to twrp recovery mode.
then install the mnml freeze patcher.
after installing the mnml freeze patcher reboot your device then boot to bootloader.
after booting to bootloader run zenfone assist on your computer and click relock and proceed.
after the relock. boot your device and boom! your no camera found issue is fixed.
P.S. no camera found issue is from unlocking bootloader which is some device shipped by asus are different from others. so using @milano88 mnml freeze patcher it will install stock recovery, kernel, fastboot, and ifwi for you to be able to boot your stocke based custom rom normally even after relocking bootloader. this will also fix the freezing issue and usb logo boot on your zenfone 5.
Big thanks to @milano88 for his patcher and great custom rom of @TechGenius.
Check out there custom rom built for zenfone 5.

Thanks for the information , but I strongly suggest you update your guide by replacing the term" custom rom "by "stock based modified rom " so it will be easy for people to understand here . Thank you

Thanks for the response. will update it.

This issue you will have alway when you will use unlocked your bootloader, so it will work with locked bootloader, but if you have locked bootloader, you cant use rom, with custom kerene (cm12/13) but.. it isnt news...

please edit that custom rom in your thread I'm victim here that supposed to be stocked based modified rom.

2 words for short: "relock bootloader"

This is not a fix, just getaround

what is the point of getting camera back with stock ROM or bootloader we already have that, we want camera working with custom ROMs and unlocked bootloader to use custom kernels, which is simply not possible right now. because no matter how many methods(fixes) you try camera is going to stop working with unlocked boot loader and if you say relock bootloader == no custom rom (by custom rom i mean CM or Paranoid roms not just modified stock roms) == no customer kernal (for features like double tap to wake up). so relocking bootloader or installing stock rom is NO FIX AT ALL

Wow bro, i never thought that there are some people here with an attitude like what you have. for some reasons you are very self centered. well it is not a fix to unlocking bootloader at all but it is one way to use a custom rom. yes indeed you went back to stock rom and will be unable to use some of the capabilities of the custom rom you are using because you dont have a custom kernel but still you are able to boot to your custom rom and able to use it's functions and still continue to use it. isn't it too hard to understand that there isn't really any fix on unlocking bootloader without affecting the camera on some zenfone 5 phones? i was just posting this to share to anyone who want to use any custom rom even if it will let them go back to stock kernel. the point here is they will be able to use that custom rom without issues. but indeed it's a stock based custom rom.

Root H815 on MM 6.0 V20d?

Hi guys ☺,
I bought today G4 eu model,it came with Marshmallow 6.0 V20d version.
I want to root it because of Greenify and Xposed,to increase the battery time,maybe later to flash some rom but...
There is a lot of topics on this subject,I started to read but I'm lost right now...as far as I saw,I can't root Marshmallow without unlocking the bootloader,only Lollipop,right?
Is it a big trouble to go back from MM to LP?
I'm not new in this flashing and rooting stuff,I had (still have) a Motorola Razr XT910,I flashed it 100 times for sure for 3.5 years but I didn't had to unlock the bootloader (it's impossible anyway) and there's a custom recovery Safestrap,modified Twrp which allows to flash and use 6 different roms,from JB to MM,without changing the kernel...
I will be grateful if someone can point me in the right direction,to give me some useful links etc.
And is there some list which procesess are safe to freeze with TB and which ones I can greenify?
Oh,and the bloatware too...
Sorry if I'm demanding but I want to bring out the best from this phone
Thank you in advance

Hi,
root without unlocking bootloader works only on lollipop, right. Not sure if u can downgrade, but when, u will use "LGUP" tool with the "H81510D.kdz" file. Maybe there exists a pre-rooted kdz to flash.
If u want to root android 6, u need a unlocked bootloader. Rooted Android 5.1.1 or unlock bootloader with rooted android 6.x.x
Ok,I successfully unlocked the bootloader but now I'm stuck with rooting and installing Twrp...
I've downloaded BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247 and TWRP-3.0.0.0-H815+ but there's a lot of metods,which one should I use?
Flash SuperSu+Twrp with stock recovery?
Install Twrp with adb command and then flash SuperSu with Twrp?
Install both with adb command?
I also saw somewhere that I must flash some other kernel that is already rooted...
I just need root and the Xposed for now,help me guys!
Im also Confused..Where can i find rooted kernel?
I already did this Method u said...But I got Boot Loop
Then I revover my phone with Lg Bridge
We need to find this.....I also Had Android MM with V20d

In my case I wasn't able to flash recovery on the stock kernel, I had to flash boot.img unpacked from the custom kernel like SimpleGX and only then I was able to flash recovery and full kernel through it.

the method i followed was-
1. boot into twrp recovery with adb command(you need to have the twrp.img file in PC and also copy it in internal memory of your phone with SU)
2. flash systemless root with twrp
3. reboot
4. install flashify
5.flash twrp.img from your phone.
6. done
but there aren't as much benefits of rooting as any other phone. viper4android doesn't work. spirit fm doesn't work. xposed doesn't work properly.(these 3 were the main reasons for which i rooted)

I didn't know i could flash something other than .zip files with twrp.
As for viper4android i tried normal way, flashed it with twrp, flashed extreme music mod with v4a fix. None seem to work. The drivers never get installed.
Xposed i haven't tried. I was in process of getting more information about it by reading various threads. But all seem to point to problems like bootloop, fc and Bluetooth issues. Can you guide me towards the best version of xposed for v20d with way to avoid problems or with as less problems as possible?

Here is the official Xposed thread

Download xposed-v80-sdk23-arm64.zip and flash it with Twrp.
Download XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk and install it.
And just in case if you have a bootloop,download xposed-uninstaller-20150831-arm64.zip.
I haven't had any problems

Flash Imperium Kernel or SimpleGX Kernel. I used their kernels and ROMS on my older phones, they are legend. I suggest you to flash Imperium Rom. It includes kernel and everything and it is updated regularly by its dev.

I think doesn't need to install recovery to root the phone.
Just this:
1) adb reboot bootloader
2) fastboot boot TWRP-2-8.7.0-h815.img
Wait a second and it will open, on the phone, the recovery.
Once open go to Advanced -> ADB sideload and take a swipe to start it where it says "Swipe to Start sideload".
Now on the PC write
3) adb sideload BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247.zip
( If it says after the instalation to install supersu etc just abort it)
And then, when installation is complete, press "Reboot System"
I rooted it this way, without install TWRP Recovery

Yeah - but the question has to be asked - why unlock the bootloader and root and not install TWRP? If you've got as far as unlocking the bootloader you might as well make life easier for yourself and install TWRP - that way anything you want to flash in the future can be done without being tethered to the PC, and also allows you to take proper full system image backups etc.

Of course , i agree with you. By the way, we can't root g4 on m6 without unlocked bootloader.
And finally, i decided to pass twrp on my phone, for every file i want to install from twrp, and not every time to boot from pc
You're right
p.s. the first thing i did after twrp installed, was to install g5 live wallpapers

How to RE-lock bootloader of oneplus3???

Any one knows how to re-lock the bootloader of one plus 3???
And
How to remove that screen on boot up after unlocking one plus three??? :/
If you read the screen properly ull see the instructions on the screen itself do everything the same way you unlock the bootloader just instead of oem bootloader unlock type oem bootloader lock ...but make sure you're on stock rom and recovery

But then My root access will be wiped??
I want root access and dont want than annoying screen
two questions different answer but I would bet if there is a way to remove nag screen a google search would find it. Keep searching threads
there is no reason to re-lock bootloader, its still under warranty through Oneplus even with unlocked bootloader. but if u really want to
1. fastboot flash stock recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) (make sure u download the file, its somewhere here on the forums
2. reboot and then reboot to fastboot (fastboot oem lock) (i have never re locked a bootloader so i am not sure if it will rewipe ur device again like unlocking it does)
3. boot to OS and get developer options again and uncheck OEM Unlock (do this last)
i would not recommend re locking since it wont void warranty and seemed like a lot people screwed up their devices relocking it, but they also unchecked the oem unlock before flashing stock recovery, also i am not sure if step 2 is needed, i would just make sure u flash stock recovery 1st before doing anything
HELP
I try to relock the bootloader but in this momento my oneplus 3 is blocked...I cant update with the stock rom...please some help!!! :crying:

What part of be on stock OS is so hard to understand?
If you're not absolutely stock when relocking, you will brick your device.
Then good luck trying to enable OEM Unlocking when not being able to boot.
As someone who messes with their phone, relocking your bootloader is one of the worst possible things you can do.
If not done correctly, it WILL brick your device.
If you want to go back to stock, then surely do, there is absolutely no need to relock your boot loader unless you're selling your device to someone or if you're looking to pass SafetyNet for Android Pay or something.
Also, you cannot have the cake as well as eat it. You need to have an unlocked boot loader for root, exposed, etc. There is no way around this.
Phones previously had to be reverse engineered and exploited to gain root access, now OEMs freely allow unlocking.

I hope you can read this. I'm not a noob and I am looking to relock my bootloader because I am going to sell it. The person wants it fully stock so I need to relock the bootloader in order to regain access to official Ota updates.
I need to be on complete stock (stock recovery and rom) right? Would you please kindly point me to where I need to go to download the stock Rom and recovery. There's some TWRP flashable OTA zips on Oneplus forums that restore stock Rom and recovery but I want to be sure that that is enough and that I don't end up bricking my device for something as stupid as this. Any help would greatly be appreciated!

Fash 3.2.4 FW from here.
Follow all instructions from here (except I would suggest sideloading the StockROM before relocking).

I followed the same guide posted on OnePlus Forum to re-lock my bootloader. Just follow them, it works.
Here is that link from OnePlus forum.
1. I restored my stock rom backup from TWRP
2. Flashed Stock recovery
3. fastboot oem lock
4. Sideload stock ROM
Done.
I unlocked because stock ROM I felt was much stabler and hassle free. Have rooted and played with custom ROMs enough in my Nexus 5 days. Just too much stress and can end up with non-working features. Might root again in future if I find something compelling in custom ROM.

2. Flashed Stock recovery
3. fastboot oem lock
4. Sideload stock ROM
Done.
I unlocked because stock ROM I felt was much stabler and hassle free. Have rooted and played with custom ROMs enough in my Nexus 5 days. Just too much stress and can end up with non-working features. Might root again in future if I find something compelling in custom ROM.

If you unlock bootloader and root device. Do you still get OTA updates if you stay on stock ROM?

If you unlock device, you will still be able to apply OTA. If you rooted by modifying the /system partition, OTA will fail, but if thou rooted using systemless method, you can apply OTA.
Iam on stock OOS 4.0.3 and i was plagued by the same error
--adb sideload the complete rom (with locked bootloader)-- method worked for me.
Previously i had unlocked bootloader and was on freedom OOS 2.3 with TWRP and then i realized that stock updates are better.
So i installed stock recovery and and tried to flash Stock Firmware 4.0.3 through sideload command and it failed.
then i installed TWRP and then installed stock OOS 4.0.3 and it installed fine but with some error.
Then i installed stock recovery
So i rebooted it and after long time it was installed but then i started getting dm_verity error and also i was frustated with unlocked bootloader message.
So i locked my boot loader first from fastboot oem lock and then sideloaded the stock 4.0.3 again and it really worked.
So now i am on stock rom and stock recovery and no more dm_verity error or unlocked bootloader msg to wait for 5 secs...
Now iam really loving my Oneplus 3..

Installing lastest rom and rooting

Hey guys.
I have installed 6.10.13 MIUI 8.1. When i bought my mi5s phone they installed me that rom and told me that my bootloader is unlocked.
So my question is for someone to write me steps of installing lastest version of european rom. And i didnt find any rooting guide so I would be grateful if someone write me that.
Thanks in advance.
Rooting
You don't have to root the phone to flash custom ROM but be sure that bootloader is unlocked. Boot to fastboot and check: fastboot oem device-info. I have never used Roms from Xiaomi.eu because in general their rooms are Chinese weekly -chinese AP's + more system languages. English is fine for me.
There is a installation guide on site: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-11-10.36056/

Well, it is a ROM from reseller a modified Chinese I guess. Version 8.0.10.0.0. As everything works fine I will keep it as long as some better alternative comes. I have been reading about the others who switched to original Chinese but afterwards regretted they did it. If I were you, before you try some other ROM, I would flash custom recovery TWRP and save/backup current ROM you have now, just in case.
The other option is to flash original Chinese developer ROM and then root the phone and finally get rid of Chinese thrash.
Best luck!

OK. Thanks.
I just realized that they installed me twrp recovery 3.0.2 . Also checked that I have unlocked bootloader .
If I install that weekly rom, what will happen with my data?(will i lose data or it just wipe system and put newer version)
So my last question is how to root mi5s.
I saw in twrp that there is SuperSu option, is this one of ways to root phone?
I prefer eu rom have more optimization just download rom on your phone boot in twrp volume up and power install rom and after that wipe cash data is untouched. Reboot system phone will need some time to boot because it build cash and after that it start to optimize installed applications. It's really simple.

For root install latest super su in twrp...
Sent from my MI 5s using Tapatalk
Thanks for answer.
But I want to be sure, Should i install su from twrp or I need to download and put zip in phone and then install?
Sry for being annoying and asking probably stupid question but I dont want to brick my device already hahah.
One more stupid question, I install SU after rom install?
Ok
Always make back up in twrp in case something happen..
I didn't root my phone but i root all phones that i have before.
So install rom first in twrp than flash super su in twrp all zips need to be on phone. I download everything that i need on phone directly...

Magisk v14.0 and OTA

Hi,
With the new version of Magisk v14.0, it seems that neither root neither custom recovery are necessary!
So if I just unlock the bootloader and install Magisk, my device should reveice the OTA right?
Anyone tried and succeeded?
I'm currently using PureNexus, but i'd prefer to go back on stock with OTA. (and edit /etc/host with magisk)
Thanks
You should install stock recovery if you want to get OTA . If you're rooted, you will lose root and need to flash Magisk again (with nexus root toolkit).
Locked or unlocked bootloader, it not affect the updating process. The custom recovery will not flash OTAs . Flash fire is the solution if you have custom recovery . Bootloader and radio can only flash with fastboot. But lately with the latest updates on flash fire, it reboot and screen stay black and need to perform force reboot.
What I wanted to do:
1 - Factory reset (I received my 5x yesterday, no data to backup)
2 - Revert to stock (stock rom + stock recovery)
3 - Install Magisk Manager
4 - Patch stock boot image in Magisk Manager
5 - Flash the patched boot image
After these few steps, I should have a stock rom with magisk.
When OTA is available, I have to restore stock boot image, then apply the OTA, and finally perform steps 3 to 5 right?

I find this easier/faster:
1. stock rom + stock recovery
2. "fastboot boot twrp.img" (boots TWRP without flashing it)
3. install magisk from TWRP
When OTA cames in, I just apply it and then repeat steps 2 and 3

It's easier sure, but it works only if you have a computer near to you

Well, unless I missed something, in your steps you need computer to flash patched boot.img as well.. You have to have a stock recovery for OTA, you can't flash it via TWRP.

How did you suceed to boot twrp with locked bootloader? I'm trying to make as you wrote, but when I try it fails:
downloading 'boot . img'...
OKAY [ 0.429s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: unlock device to use this command)
I neither want to unlock my bootloader.
You can't use fastboot commands with locked bootloader, the only way is to unlock the bootloader. Unlocking bootloader on Nexus 5x is also a "safety" preparation for a future HW bootloop, you might be able to use one of the existing (temporary) fixes to boot the phone with problematic CPU cores disabled.

As long as you keep stock recovery and unmodified system, you can apply OTA. It doesn't check bootloader status or systemless modifications (Magisk, Supersu,..). Just please keep in mind that bootloader unlocking will wipe all your data.
Here is a guide how to install the OTA without computer and keep magisk:

My phone's lost rooting.

Hi everyone, this is my first post
This winter I had decided to install the GCam on my Mi A2 lite, so I followed a guide (I'm not able to mod any phone) I managed to install the cam. To install that I obv needed to root my phone and indeed on Root Checker that was rooted. Some months later, the phone was automaticatly updated and after that I don't know how that lost his rooting and the possibilty to use Gcam (and other apps). I didn't want to do all the process again so I let that go.
Now I'd like to install the Pixel Experience ROM on my Xiaomi tho, but I read that I need to have root permission and the bootloader unlocked. My bootloader is already uncloked, because in developer's option, under "Unlock OEM" is written. "the bootloader's already unlocked."), but I have no root permission. I don't know what to do, because as I said I'm totally ignorant.
Can I install a custom recovery without root permission? How can I install the Pixel Rom? I need to root again my phone?
Thank you all for you help!

You need for sure an unlocked bootloader but regarding root although you don´t need it to flash a custom recovery nor a custom rom probably is better that you have it so you might need to do other things like install mods that need root.
Just flashing the Magisk you´ll recover the lost root status again but if you don´t have recovery now just boot on it through fastboot and then flash it over your actual rom or if you want the Pixel rom just follow the tutorial posted in the thread.

Do I need a TWRP Recovery tho? Because I read on some guides that's a requisite to instal Pixel Rom.
And please, can you link me the tutorial you mean? Because I can't find out that.

Yes, you need a custom recovery like TWRP and regarding tutorial there is a how-to-install method on every custom rom and also in the thread of a Pixel rom https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/development/rom-pixel-experience-t3911489 they´re just some few steps

To be honest I can't find where's the tutorial into that thread :crying:
Anyway I've just thought that maybe I've already have a TWRP. I did a lot of operations when I installed the GCam, so maybe I also did that. Is there a way to find out if I already have it?

Oh sorry since I don´t use PE rom nevermind there is not a tutorial there but you will find one here https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi...0-ressurection-remix-os-xiaomi-mi-a2-t3954197 it´s the same process (more or less) for any custom rom.
If you are on a custom rom just booting using advanced power reboot you can go to recovery to see if it still stays there, also you can go manually using key combination (vol up + pwr from a device off) and you have too adb reboot recovery command to boot on it.
