Hi,
I have a ZE55ML (Z00AD WW version) with stock android 5.0 (Build number: LRX21V.WW-ASUS-Z00A-2.15.40.13_20150506_....)
I want to unlock it and install LineageOS 14. But to do that, I understood that need first to upgrade my firmware to MM.
The problem is that I just cannot upgrade the system in any way:
In Settings/About - there is no "Software Update" entry
In Settings/About/Software Information - there is no "Check update" button
I have an app called "System update", but when I launch it it fails immediately, saying "Unfortunately, DMClient has stopped"
I tried following the manual install method described here https://www.asus.com/us/support/FAQ/1009748/ - but after I copy the zip to the root of internal storage, I do not get the "System Update File Detected" notification, so I cannot apply the update.
I did a full factory reset, but it did not help.
How do I update the system? (or unlock bootloader without it)
Thanks!
After much searching and trying, I found the winning tip here, in the comments: https://www.reddit.com/r/zenfone2/comments/3ta8yx/cant_update_tired_of_bloatware/
When you download the update, this is what you can try. Rename it to: MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip
Place it on your an SD card (not internal SD card), and boot into recovery: adb reboot recovery
The phone should recognize the update and flash it.

Click to collapse
this (with an updated adb) did the magic. I updated the phone to v2.20 and afterwards to 4.20, and with the toolkit I could now unlock bootloader and install TWRP.

Hi folks,
I've follow ParotZ's Recovery Installer process to root and am having SuperSu issues.
I install recovery (option 5), then reboot to recovery (option 0), system > reboot > swipe to install > and then once it loads I'm greeted with
"no su binary installed and supersu cannot install it"
I've put UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.16 on internal storage and tried earlier versions and flashed, with the same result.
The SuperSu app is installed. I attempted a manual update on the Play store, but the 'no su binary' message is still there.
I can't uninstall supersu, either with an uninstaller app or through Play (it does not show 'uninstall', just shows 'open')
It persisted after I factory reset and wiped (not through recovery).
Any help? Keen to get on Cyanogen.

Hi folks,
I've solved the issue. I could not root using that method because I had updated the OS and there was some form of conflict that stuffed the SuperSu binary.
So I downgraded back to stock (the earlier ColorOS) and reapplied the root process.
For those with the same issue follow these steps http://theunlockr.com/2014/08/22/how-to-unroot-the-oppo-find-7-video/
Then reattempt the root.
Note that step 6. "Using the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select the option you want, select Wipe Data and Cache." will erase the OS you just copied over, so do this prior to copying the OS or you'll just need to do it again.
When the OS loads and you come to the update SuperSu step, my Play store wouldn't load due to I think a delay in the accept terms of use popup. So I used the TWRP method and it worked fine.
Good luck.
Darren.
I found out that, there is some different procedure to be followed for those who dont have stock recovery..
Can some one give a detailed tutorial on how to revert back to stock and then upgrade.. Dying to feel lollipop on my phone

Use the following method to replace your custom recovery with stock recovery and prepare your phone for an official OTA Update (Like the Lollipop 5.0.2 update just launched for the HTC Desire 820)
1. Download the OTA Update but do not install.
Go to Options -> About phone -> Software updates
When prompted, click on 'install later'.
2. Open file explorer and go to Download folder (/storage/emulated/0/Download) and find zip file with update. (It should begin with a51_)
3. Connect your phone to a PC and copy the zip file to your desktop.
4. Using a program like WINRAR, open the file.
5. Open firmware.zip
4. Copy "recovery.img" to your phone's sdcard.
5. Download 'Flashify' from the Google Play store on your phone.
6. Run Flashify and select "Recovery image".
7. Select "Choose a file" and select the recovery.img you had copied to your sd card earlier.
8. Select "YUP!" and wait.
Note *Don't restart your device.*
9. Install update
Go to Options -> About phone -> Software updates and select "Install now".
10. Let your phone restart and upgrade to the new operating system. This will take quite some time if your phone is filled with apps.
11. Enjoy.
I hope this helps, message back here if you hit any roadblocks. If each step is followed properly, you should have stock recovery back and thus, be able to install OTA updates normally.
I have already downloaded the update and have copied it to other location...
Is it possible that I can update that from the recovery itself...
( BTW i am unable to boot inot recovery now... Whenever I click on recovery in the boot menu... It redirects to some HBOOT, power down.. etc etc menu,.. And not the recovery)

At step 9 the progress bar stops and displays red exclamation mark.Also recovery.img from ota that I flashed causes bootloop when entered into recovery from hboot.
what to do now? theres a bootloop issue.
One time, when I tried an update an error occured, the phone reboot and said: "the device has been reported to the initial configuration". Now there is no notification to update. I have to do it manually.
What is the problem ?
i did a factory reset but it doesn't prompt me again if i want to update.
I did this tuto: http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=14962 to receive OTA
but nothing changes and i'm now onto 2.20.40.97 but each time i have to update manually.
And now when i go into recovery it show me: "installing system update..." and few seconds later it show me error (with the android logo)..
Can you help me ?
up please help me.
I succeed to (re) update to .97 with recovery: i put the firmware onto sd and internal root storage named mofd_sdupdate.zip and it update BUT I don't know if i can receive updtaes notifications...
That error logo is not a problem as long as the device wasn't updating. Also, I never received any notifications for OTA except once.
I had problem with my HTC M8 One not being to update Android. It downloaded Android (~1.16GB) and after I tried to install it a Red Triangle with an exclamation mark appeared. After I restarted the phone the same "popup" appears telling me that there is an available System Update. I tried to update my phone several times but the same problems appeared.
Alright I thought, let's be one of the cool guy and flash my phone.
First I unlocked my bootloader following the instructions from htcdev.com. (It says "unlocked")
After that I followed the instructions on this site: wccftech.com/ how-to-update-htc-one-m8-to-android-6-custom-rom/ and now I can't get past the startup-screen. It also has a message in red saying "This build is for development purpose only ..." after following the step "fastboot reboot".
Right now nothing really seems to work and I'm not sure how to be able to proceed.
Any help is highly appreciated!
Best regards,
Tomas

First can you Boot into FASTBOOT mode ( to boot into fastboot mode turn off the phone and turn on holding volume down button)
Second if you boot into fastboot mode can you go into recovery?
FIrst let me explain where I'm at now and what I did. I downloaded a ROM that was, supposedly, made for my carrier (Telcel) and CID (HTC__332) so I downloaded that file, renamed it to 0P6BIMG and moved it to the root folder of the SD card. When I started up the bootloader it started to check for that file and then it said "Checking." for a while and then the text "Press <POWER> to reboot." appeared over the "Checking" text: i64.tinypic.com/ 317d1ep.jpg
Then after restart this appears: i65.tinypic.com/ 1194d5k.jpg
It restarts and the same screen but with the text "Entering Recovery..." appears: i63.tinypic.com/ 33vitn4.jpg
And after that it restarts once again to the screen without the "Entering recovery" and it goes on like this forever until there is no battery. During this step I can't access the bootloader or anything.
Now that my battery drained out and I'm starting it up to the bootloader and the "Recovery" it looks like this:
Bootloader: i67.tinypic.com/ 2lw4y15.jpg
After recovery: i68.tinypic.com/ inhnrs.jpg
It stays under the "Entering Recovery..." screen and nothing happens.
Also did "fastboot erase cache" (under FASTBOOT USB) and then started "RECOVERY" again with no success as you mentioned in this thread: forum.xda-developers.com/ showthread.php?t=2265290
Actually I cannot view the pics from the link as iam not on my computer. I'll check the pics one I reach home
Tell me what your bootloder says on top (locked , unlocked or relocked)
Try deleting the ROM file from your root of SD card ( make sure you have the backup of that file on your PC ) and then check if you boot into fastboot/ recovery.

Your firmware is too low to run current Custom ROM and too low to use latest TWRP version. That's why it stuck.

Restore 1.12.600.20 non-rooted backup and install 4.32.600.2 stock recovery (because 1.12.600.20 stock recovery is not available)
then reboot and do OTA to 4.32.600.2 then to 6.17.600.3

Thanks for your help!
Following your step I should install 4.32.600.2 but I get a "Failed" message. Also according to step 11 I should "11. fastboot flash stock recovery that you downloaded - command fastboot flash recovery x.xxx.xx.x_recovery.img" but under that stock recovery (4.32.600.2) I can't find an image file, just a ZIP file.
I'm not really sure what to do but I managed to install TWRP and restore 1.12.600.20 but I'm stuuck now on the stock recovery.
I see that I have "S-ON" and I was wondering if that might cause any problems? (Reading about it on this page: www.addictivetips.com/mobile/ what-is-s-off-how-to-gain-it-on-htc-android-phones-with-unrevoked-forever/ )
Steps from the beginning:
1. Installed twrp 2.8.1.0 (for 1.xx.xxx.x & 2.xx.xxx.x TWRP backup, in this case 1.12.600.20)
C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery C:\Users\Jefecito\Downloads\twrp-2.8.1.0-m8.img
sending 'recovery' (16576 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.746s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.987s]
finished. total time: 2.733s
2. Downloaded TWRP backup 1.12.600.20
3. Downloaded Stock Recovery 4.32.600.2
4. Extracted 1.12.600.20_ckpv5.zip (It contains a variety of win and m5 files)
5. Backup "Boot". According to TWRP the Bacukup Folder is: /external_sd/TWRP/BACKUPS/SH46..../2017-07-03--18-21-10 LRX22G release-keys/
6b. (No OS) Verifies that MPT is enabled.
7. I transferred the extracted folder "1.12.600.20" to the SD card. Note: I mounted the SD card as a USB Storage as it didn't allow to transfer big files and then I unmounted it.
8. I made a wipe and selected "Dalvik Cache, "Cache", "Data" and "System" and it completed without any error message.
9. I made a restore (TWRP -> Restore -> Selected the "1.12.600.20" folder) and it was it was 2076 MB big. "Boot", "Data" and "System" was ticked.
10. I rebooted the device and selected "Do not install". It rebooted do the startup screen and I could see the carrier image.
It stopped working there. I restarted the device and a windows saying "Android is updraging..." popped up. After that I had a working Android 4.x version.
11. I installed the "4.32.600.2_recovery" and tried to reinstall the OTA System Update but after the reboot it now stops at the startup screen again. When I turn it off using Power + Volume Up it automatically restars so I'm having problem accessing the Bootloader.
12. After some attempts I managed to access the Bootloader and installed twrp-2.8.1.0-m8.img.
13. I wiped everything as in step 8.
14. I "Restored" backup 1.12.600.20.
15. Now it booted up okay with the old Android version, as expected, and it said "Android is upgrading...".
16. I made a stock recovery to 4.32.600.2_recovery.img. From my understanding OTA will not work without the stock recovery.
17. I restarted the phone and tried an OTA update (4.32.600.2) but after the restart it got stuck under the "Startup Screen". The "Update" icon (the green circle and the red one with an exclamation mark when an error occurrs) never appeared, just directly to the startup screen.
After that I restored it again and decided to give it a break.
Later I will try the RUU file from HTC.
Hello everyone!
My oneplus3 is actually running no OS and I'm having a boot loop.
I will try to explain what happened to me with the most details I can.
Before I ****ed everything up, I think I was running OxygenOS 3.28, not really sure about it but im 100% sure it was below 4.0, and it was rooted with TWRP 3.0.2 installed.
1) Today I had a pop up saying OxygenOS 4.0.2 was available (the official one that pops on the screen on boot) "Yay so coooool Nougat!"
1.1) I downloaded it, 1.4Go, then I pressed install
1.2) TWRP showed up, I didn't know what to do and that's where I ****ed up, I set my phone "factory new" in TWRP.
1.3) Phone restarted fresh new, I thought I had 4.0.2 but naaaaah would've been too easy so the official pop up showed again, I was still 3.28 I think.
1.4) Downloaded it once more, TWRP opened again, this time i was looking for the update i just downloaded in the "install" section. I browsed for quite a while and couldn't find it.
1.5) Master ****-up here: I tried to restore a backup. Then the bootloop happened. The black screen with "Oneplus" written in white. I was able to go back in TWRP by pressing power + volume down
1.6) Tried every kind of restore unsuccessfully, and tried ADB but it wouldn't load. Also TWRP said that I was running no OS when I wanted to turn off my phone for example.
2) I downloaded 4.0.2 from one plus website on my mac, and i flashed the official recovery instead of TWRP.
2.1) Transferred the update from my mac to my PC (seems important to me) and installed ADB & everything on both PC/O+3.
2.2) so adb worked in forceboot, i've been able to flash official recovery, tried once more to wipe & everything, but clearly I have no OS now, as TWRP said.
2.3) so i had the update in a folder (not a zip, probably due to the download being done from a mac), I made it a .ZIP with winrar, but "adb sideload update.zip" crashed at 0% everytime
2.4) looked at the archive then i noticed it was first a folder "OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_039_all_1701140133_03b794d8a8b44883" then inside it i had the content like "boot.img" & everything. So i zipped it again but without that first folder because I thought it was the problem, but it kept on crashing 0%.
2.5) restarted my PC, looked on several forums, but i couldn't find any fix. Now adb can't even open update.zip anymore, it fails even before 0%.. I tried naming it .zip.zip, keeping the name "OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_039_all_1701140133_03b794d8a8b44883.zip", using a third party app to allow more RAM to the cmd app...
I've been trying hard for 4 hours but I still have a O+3 without any OS... My last idea is downloading "OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_039_all_1701140133_03b794d8a8b44883.zip" from my PC so it downloads it directly .zip unlike on my mac...
I hope I said everything, sorry for the long post but i'm desperate.. thanks for your attention,
Valentin

Thank you for answering! unfortunately i've already tried that and my problem occurs when i try to sideload the update from adb recovery... "couldn't load 'update.zip'"
I dont really know what to do now because I think my only option here is to load the OS through adb as I can't boot my phone to get the update zip inside a specified folder to load it from internal storage.
Try to install the new official TWRP version i think it is 3.0.3-0 through fastboot. Boot up TWRP, wipe every partiton and copy the update.zip onto the phone. You can copy it by connecting it normaly via USB(like you would do in OOS) and install the zip file afterwards.

install stock recovery and then try installing official OS. Or install modded twrp 3.0.2-1.28 and then try installing Freedom OS 2.3 via sideload or through internal storage.

Stop fiddling with the ROM. Download the ROM afresh directly to your Windows PC/laptop. Check the md5. Then start experimenting with the other suggestions but don't again meddle with the ROM!

I read your post again and here are a few things:
* Don't update Stock OOS via "System updates" in Settings if you are rooted and have TWRP
* Back up your data before updating, wiping or doing something with your phone.
* For the ADB error, see the FAQ #17 in the guide I provided.
Now, try this:
Flash TWRP via fastboot > boot to TWRP > connect your phone to your PC and copy the full Stock OOS v4.0.2 OTA to your phone > reboot to fastboot and flash Stock Recovery.
It didn't touch the internal storage. So, try to install from internal storage when you are in Stock Recovery.
Let me know if it worked.
