[Z00A] [Latest firmware?] [GPS issus] [Verification warning at boot] - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there. I'm newbie to Z00A.
After unlocking bootloader, installing new firmware and installing LineageOS 14.1 rom, now i've some questions; actually tried to answer my questions with no success!
Please guide me to solve them.
Where can i find latest firmware(s)? specially suitable firmwares for Android N, Lineage14.1, etc.
It seems, theres an issue with GPS in this device. i cant find my location in offline map apps (such as OsmAnd~) when im offline and want to use Device Only GPS.
After unlocking bootloader, when the phone turns on, a warning is displayed about verification problem and visit g.co/ABH for more information. How can i disable that warning?
Thank you so much and excuse me for 3 questions in a topic.

1. Latest firmware check out the development section. They have instructions. Just follow them and you'll be fine.
2. You're not the one. I have problem with GPS too. My solution is to keep a copy of /data/gps when the GPS is working. Then whenever the GPS isn't working, copy all the previously backup-ed files and replace the latest file.
3. Idk about this

Thanks for your good answers.

The verification warning is not a problem. It cannot be removed. This has been answered many times before.
For gps try installing GPS Status from the play store and use it to delete and re-download the AGPS Data.
Your get the latest firmware from the same place you got the original one.

Redownload AGPS data don't always work for some reason.
Hence I always has a backup of the working gps files just in case

app updates - downloads not starting anymore

I didn't update my apps for about 2 weeks since I was more or less in a permanent network trouble. When I now try to update my apps, it's always said, the downloas are about to start, but they never do...
I am running froyo 2.2 and app 2 sd - no idea what's wront here...
hope somebody could help me out!
thx
Very occasionally my downloads stall and to fix it I generally:
1. Cancel all downloads
2. Check that I'm logged into Talk
3. Start the downloads again
This usually fixes it for me.
Regards,
Dave
I also had this from time to time and usually after a reboot it worked, but this time it already persists a while and the updates are getting more n more.I also thought that I started too many at once. But also a single one won't start...
By talk you mean gtalk? Why is that?
Thx
Essentially (and rather simplistically!), for many services, the OS uses the GTalk protocol to communicate with the device.
Regards,
Dave
Didn't know that. How do I check? if I click in the freak icon after a second I'm back on the desktop with that icon. Does that mean I was logged in?
Me too...I'm having problems to update my applications and when I click on Google Talk the application makes me return to Home
Any problems with Google servers???
Thanks
GTalk is working fine for me, so I suggest posting a logcat for the period when you attempt to sign into GTalk.
Regards,
Dave
I assume a logcat is a certain type of logfile? How do I generate this?
thx
If you have ADB setup on your PC, you can simply connect your phone via USB and type ADB LOGCAT in a command window (you need to have USB Debugging switched on). If you don't have that, you can download an app (e.g. aLogCat).

Dave

no, haven't installed this. Is it also necessary to install it on the phone or just on the computer?
installing on the phone would be quite cynical
help folks!

Yes.
There's nothing to install on the phone, you just need to enable USB Debugging from the Development menu.

Right, i experienced exactly the same problem shortly after doing update to 2.2. I've read somewhere (if i find a link, i'll post it here) that update from 2.1 to 2.2 doesn't carry personal data and settings transfer very well.
Tryed restore to no luck.
My fix.
1.Format memory card first.
2. factory restore
3. format memory card again (in case it managed to back up my settings after 1st format and before restore)
4. factory restore (in case back up happend and it managed to restore my settings)
5. sign in to google ******@GOOGLEMAIL.com , even though my e-mail IS @gmail.com and it shows @gmail.com on the phone.
No problem since
Hope no 3 and 4 make sense to you.
Hope that helps.
There you go

As you can see i simplified procedure a lot.
still trying to figure with the ADB.
I am stuck with the USB drivers - can't find them in the download package as described
Finally, you need to install the USB drivers. Again, the instructions are present in the SDK guide as well, but here’s how you can do it. Please note that my device was a Samsung GT-i5700 Galaxy Lite, and since I had Samsung drivers already installed, this didn’t happen to me. The procedure I am describing here is theoretical and taken from the SDK manual.
The drivers for both x86 and x64 systems are present in the SDK, under <sdk>\usb_driver\x86 and <sdk>\usb_driver\x64, respectively.

thx!
I'm really in need for help - more and more apps are getting out of date and I can't update them! I just don't know where to find those mentioned USB drivers!

Try my fix. Yes, I know, you will have to start from scratch with the phone, but it's worth it.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I appreciate your help - but I'd really loive to check within the logfiles what's exactely wrong, dause that could trace the root and help others instead of just starting all over.
I'm just surprised that there's little response out here...

[Q] Jellytime R28: Messenger apps not working

Hi,
This is my first time messing around with my DHD and I installed the R28 build of jellytime. Although almost everything seems to be fine. I can't seem to get IM apps like talk, skype or whatsapp working on this build.
Can someone let me know if this is a popular issue with the build or if any solution is out there cause I couldn't find it.
Pretty awesome build otherwise ! :good:
Thanks
Skype worked for me when I was using this build.
What type of error do you get if any, please explain your problem!

For whatsapp the I am not able to move beyond the verification screen where the application is supposed to send you a message. Skype also does not log in. Same issue with Talk.
Instead I get an error message for both skype and whatsapp telling me I am not connected to internet ! Let me know if I can attach an errorlog or something for your better understanding.
How did you install the ROM? Clean install? Wiped everything?

I am not very familiar with the jargon so I am just going to list out the steps.
1. Used Ace Hack kit to root.
2. Wiped Cache and did factory reset/wipe from hboot.
3. The SD Card was NOT formatted.
Just a side note and I know I digress. I have tried using blackout ICS rom as well but facing the exact same issue. Plus touch input stops working.
Thanks for replying.
Update: I was able to connect whatsapp/talk/skype using my pc's internet so I think we can assume this will work on wifi as well. The problem is now more specific to the apps not working on my data connection. Off to search !
Update 2: Found a solution. The ROM created a separate APN, had to use the other one to get everything in order.
Please refer to this thread "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1800283" :victory:

you have to have installed root explorer for examle and you search system/app and there is the LTEconfigs folder
you can download root explorer from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846204
hope this helped you.
P.S. I hope that you will make a backup on sd card for example on the folder to be able to restore it back if anything goes bad
i doesn't work .. I have the same issue I'm connected to LTE but I don't have the icon

WhatsApp not working!

Well, I do not know when or how but Whatsapp app is broken on my device! Just not starting anymore, I only get some force crash screen of about 1 second and that's it...
I have a Note 8T with latest EEA software 12.5.4.0 MIUI 12.5, rooted with Magisk, custom recovery (OrangeFox)
Funny story but enabling dual apps for Whatsapp, basically another user, I managed to start and use the app, as a secondary app because the base app is still dead!
Now, my question is:
How do I get Whatsapp to function normally again???
Things I tried:
1. clean cache and data - no fix
2. uninstall/ install app - no fix
3. enable miui optimizations - no fix
4. fix/ repair data partition in OrangeFox recovery - no fix
Is there anything else I could try in order to fix this issue? It might be somehow related with the user part of the data partition? But why only this app is affected then?
I'm just baffled by this turn... don't know what to do anymore...

try with :
uninstall/reboot/install
if still not work
go to : Data/system/dropbox
delete everything
open wsp and send the generated crash log (from that folder)
Well, tried twice uninstall/ install procedure... Same result...
Thank for this info. I'll try.

i said uninstall/!REBOOT!/install
when you reboot, the package manager will delete the app leftover
the app crash because there is some data left from a previous version
try deleting "com.whatsapp" folder from
/data/data/
and from
/user_de/0/
also whatsapp folder on internal storage
Holly mackerel!!!
You know how many times I rebooted this device???
But, now, it worked without deleting anything except the dropbox content you mentioned earlier!
It just went smooth, install, setup, restore backup and all without a glitch!
THX A BUNCH!!!
Anyway, I would really love to know how was this possible in the first place as I did nothing specially regarding this app... and found myself in this situation of not being able to use it anymore... why only this app? Was something some update maybe that broke something?

Question Remove all trace of rooting

Hi folks,
Hope you are all fine !
I uninstalled Magisk but some apps still detect it's "rooted" which prevent them from opening. Would you have any ideas what cleaning I could do to avoid these apps to wrongly detect root ?
I'm running A13 stable TP1A.221005.02.
Thanks in advance !

My guess is that you still have the bootloader unlocked.
If you decide to re-lock the bootloader, it's gonna factory reset & wipe all data.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I didn't think app could verify this so easily.
I'd like as much as possible to not wipe the device, is there any way to confirm what triggered the app to find the "root" though it is not rooted any longer ? Any logs I could check perhaps ?
Thanks in advance -
One other thing is to remove the magisk app .apk if you downloaded it. Some programs do scan your files and if they see magisk in your files they deem you as "rooted".
Cheers,

Before factory resetting, you could also try a dirty flash of the latest firmware.zip or using the official online Google Pixel Flash Tool.

It is not reading another apps data. It literally is scanning filenames. If you grant an app permission to read/write files, it can read any downloaded file to determine if it is magisk related.

I would be very suspicious of any app requesting such a permission, if it doesn't really need it.
Hi Folks,
Thanks everyone for your suggestions !
I removed all Magisk apps files, applications which needed root (though I'm not root, but was), and this fixed the issue here (I had in my hide list from nova an app called Root Explorer and I think the issue got resolved after I uninstalled it lol).
Have a great evening !
On a side note, moving to A13 ruined my great battery life, sadge.
I had poor battery on Sept A13 release. Oct A13 security release seemed to fix this.
Cheers,
B.D.
