Update Error

Hi guys, I really hope you can give me a hand here. I was rooted using method 3. Yesterday I unrooted the device. Today there were some OTA updates, so I downloaded them and wanted to install them. It was 58 if I'm not mistaken. The phone rebooted and started installing the updates and after few seconds a symbol of android popped up with an error message. After that the phone started and said that update wasn't installed and the origanal settings were returned. After that it said that there wen't new updates available. Factory reset didn't help either. Later a new update was available 59 I think, but the same thing happened... I really don't know what to do now.
I have ZF2 64Gb, WW version installed on it.
right now running 2.19.40.22
I'm really hoping for your help
Update: I've don't system wipe and cache wipe from the recovery menu
Update N2: I've managed to install V2.19.40.22 image from official website. But my phone doesn't show me an option to do an OTA update, it says that there aren't any update available. Is there a way to make him check again properly?

Do you mean as in making the file MOFD_SDUPDATE.zit puting it on the SD card and through recovery? The update starts, then says gives an error
In recovery it says:
Veryfying current system...
"/system/build.prop" has unexpected contents
E: Error in /sdcard/MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip
(status 7)
I might have edited my build.prop file back then when I was playing with DPI. Now I can't find the line I edited... please help

That's why you have to flash the pre root firmware first. It restores all the system files so they can pass the check while the OTA runs.

OK
I have solution for you.
100% working.
Before update v 59 once do same with v 58.

Just got ze551 and updated CM. Now can't install google play services/play store

I'm not sure what to do here. I just got my Zenfone 2 (ze551ml/z00a) and noticed I had a notification for a system update and foolishly thought it would be no big deal to proceed to install it. I think it was on CM 12.1 previously and the update was for CM 13 but not sure but after it updated it axed pretty much all the apps that were on it including any Google services. Wouldn't be a big deal since the update was literally the first thing I've done with the phone after porting #/service---haven't imported contacts or anything---but I can't just download an APK of the Play store or Google services. I've tried this through APK downloads and through the Google installer app (which is in Chinese regardless of whether I got it off the xiaomi market or not). The results weren't much different with each attempt. I get either "There was a problem communicating with Google servers. Try again later" when trying to sign in when launching play store or""Google Play services won't run unless you update Google Play services.", which I cannot do.
So I can't really do much of anything right now with the phone and really regret installing the CM update. I got Open Gapps but (x86, 6.0, full I think?) but I'm not sure what to do with it. I have experience rooting phones and have rooted my last two phones but I'm no expert when it comes to smartphones. I just want this phone to be usable again, I don't care whether I am using stock or cyanogenmod. How can I get Google services and alike to run is open gapps the solution or do I need to find some recovery rom to try to flash to? I've seen so many completely different solutions to this that I don't know where to go from here. I did a factory reset but that had no effect and the solutions I tried here thus far haven't worked.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and if you leave a bitcoin wallet address and your solution helps I'll gladly send you a tip for your efforts. Thanks!!

Have you tried reformatting, and flashing gapps and rom? The phone settings was likely tinkered.

What recovery have you got loaded ? If twrp which it should be , being on cm ? Cm 13.1 gets updates and notifications for updates , so download gapps for android 6 x86 ..boot into recovery and flash latest gapps .
What build number date etc ?

Not yet but I'm going to look up how to flash the gapps.

Not sure which recovery, it had like 6 grey square-ish buttons when I entered it last time. But when you say 'download gapps' you mean get Open Gapps right? I booted into recovery mode with the zip of it but didn't have a guide handy so I didn't mess with it. So I was on the right track it sounds like, I'll give that a shot with a guide and reply here with the results.

Don't have youtube or any google apps unfortunately, the update to CM 13 removed most of the apps.

Yes just head over to cm 13 for z00a if your device in " original android development section"? , and follow cm flashing instructions ,
What build number and date of build installed ?

I guess I got ahead of myself. I tried installing open gapps from recovery, looked like it worked so I wiped cache and after the phone started I just get a barrage of "unfortunately setup wizard has stopped" and 'play store has stopped" over and over again. So now I can't check what version I have but I know it was CM 13 and one of the latest three available nightly builds with android 6.0.1, I did try installing the 'official' google apps first but I got an error like "unable to update file" or something---guessing I should have tried unlocking the bootloader first? The official unlocker tool is an .apk so now thats off the table. But if this phone has TWRP on it then doesn't that mean the previous owner already unlocked it (I bought it used)? Should I try unlocking first or go straight to flashing CM13?
I'm assuming you are saying to get the CM 13 ROM for z00A from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zen.../rom-cyanogenmod-13-0-nightly-builds-t3264492
I'll download that and give it a shot.
edit:
Do I want the .zip for CM13 (CM Build) or the recovery (.img) or both? screenshot. the guide isn't really clear. I'm going into recovery/TWRP to see if I can find out my version # of CM---I think its the version from 5/23 but I'm not sure

Well the guide is straight forward , you will have download new twrp and flash that for future updates to flash correctly , there are tonnes of threads to get you back up and running around here , take your time ..enjoy .
You say you cannot boot into system so put all files on SD card and select storage in twrp ..flash ROM ..gapps .. and latest twrp ..so you can back up at earliest instance
If any probs , try YouTube ..there's a few vids for flashing cm13 on zen 2

How's it going ohituna ? All good?

Updated TWRP to v3 first then flashed CM13 from the thread I linked above (the zip, not the img). along with the x86-nano version of opengapps. Worked perfectly. Wish I would have done that from the start instead of messing around with trying to get opengapps to work without the flashed CM and whatnot. Seems to be running perfect, got bunch of apps off play store already with no problem getting my contacts and other Google stuff.
Thanks for the pushes in the right direction!:good::good::good::good:
Now the ZF2 is starting to grow on me, got it instead of waiting for the HTC One A9 price to drop and I'm feeling like I made the right call.

Great news , better that you sorted it yourself .
Now save a back up on PC and keep forever lol just in case

Best thing to do after an update is to reset your phone, I reccomend hard reset, first backup all your files (contact list, photos, videos etc.) on your laptop/pc or flash drive, then do the hard reset of your phone. If the same problem appears after hard reset, you will have to flash your ROM again.

If you switched from MM to N, best you can do is a full clean new install. Also flash pico Gapps and if you need more Google apps download them from Play Store. For D855 is mandatory to flash v21C modem before flashing the Rom, not sure for other variants.

Android nougat

Have just purchased this device sim free from carphone warehouse in the uk and.its still on android 6.0
Tried the updater and it says nothing available.
How do I get the latest update?

Ok so I have downloaded what I think is the right firmware and have put it in a folder called dload.
I go to the updater and it says nothing available and no option for local update. Have also tried to get it to install from power off but says failed
Any ideas?

Solved

did you dload via FFinder ?
Is everything working...specially theme manager

Yes and all working fine. During the installation it did say after getting to 80-90% that the install had failed however when the phone rebooted itself and unchecked the about phone section it then said it was on android 7.0

Further to above it does seem that my theme store is not working. Never really noticed as I was using nova.
Not sure how I fix that?

Take a look here.

well...your now part of a lot of people with that problem...i used to be one too...
theres 2 ways to fix...
ROOT the device or...
login to huawei id...then it should be fixed in the next 24-48 hours .
i was rooted but re putted my mla-l03 in original state with locked bootloader....then theme got fixed in less than 24 hours (for me)

Well it turns out I was not logged into Huawei id however have done that now but the option is still not there. I'll give it a few hours and see what happens. Otherwise looks like I'm just downloading themes from elseware and moving them to the themes folder

[GUIDE]{ROOT Required} Install custom .mtz themes permanently.(which otherwise not possible in MIUI)

I will not be responsible for any bricked devices.
DO AT YOUR OWN RISK.
1. Firstly you need your device rooted with magisk.
2. Then download(file attached below)and flash 'MIUIGLOBALthemepatch.zip' module in magisk manager.
3. Reboot your device.
4. Your stock theme app will be patched to Chinese version which fortunately has import option by which you can import .mtz themes into your thememanager app.
Enjoy your themes.

Hello there. I've come across your magisk module. I've installed it and the Theme Manager app has changed. Even so, I can't find the way to import a theme. Can you help? Thank you

Never mind, it's working. Removed module and installed again. Thanks! It's brillant!

Sorry to be here asking again for help, but my phone has updated the Theme App by System Apps to global version. I've removed the module with Magisk, re-installed it again. Disabled auto update System Apps.
Don't know if that's the reason, but now, I can't browse any themes: I receive the "Can't connect to the network" message. Any idea how I can fix this?

Having the same problem I think you have to manually browse themes on websites and then import them.
Btw you can try using a VPN and set it to China

Thanks for getting back to me.
Nope, doesn't work. Not even with a VPN and connected to a China server. It's ok, I'll just use the import. What I've noticed is that I can't apply the imported themes once I upgrade to global version. It says it can't download the theme.

What is this message that comes up when installing... Is this author trustworthy? Did I just give this guy full access to my phone by installing this? I'm genuinely scared now. Am I gonna feel the pain soon? @Manjotbenipal

It is a famous quote from Naruto. Not a message threatening you.

Oh, I see

I can't even root my phone because I have a bank account
Edit: I already did

@Manjotbenipal I've screw up. Updated to MIUI 14 and now the module doesn't work anymore. Any chance of checking it out?

Well, tried to solve the mess and I'm halfway there. I've edited your zip file and replaced the ThemeManager.apk inside by the new version 3.9.9.2. The global app is replaced by the chinese one. I can import MTZ files again but when I try to apply them, I receive the following error:
"Can't connect to the network error: downloadRight|100002|824"
Any idea how to solve this?
