Unable to access custom recovery

Gidday
I, like many others, have for some reason, borked the custom recovery (I had rooted the phone and everything was working fine) and now have the problem where we cant access custom recovery as pressing the Power and Volume buttons together results in the image coming up on my Zenfone 2 (ZE551ML )...

Is there anyone who has the solution to this problem? I have searched high and low (here as well as the web) but have only found supposed solutions for Zenfone 5's and 6's....
Also, can anyone tell me if having this problem negates the warranty as I have an authorisation to return my phone for repairs (the camera stopped working after the system update)...
cheers

Anyone???

Phone app problem after Android Pie update

Hello guys. After the newest Android update I'm really annoyed about phone app. Below is the new look of it -
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And this is the old one which was way better as it split keypad + recent contacts and it was easier to make a quick call -
Is there a way to fix this without rooting the phone or using custom launcher?

Yea, flash back to Oreo
Pie is different, either get used to it or flash back

Or just install another phone app, I recommend Google. Phone app.

Mi MIX 2 bootloop and can't flash TWRP

Hello everybody,
I've been lurking around here for quite some time now and just registered because I am not getting my phone running anymore.
I used the MIUI rom and wanted to put it back to factory settings.
Unfortunately it's stuck in a bootloop now, it keeps restarting after chosing the language and the country (China only option).
Whenever i want to flash TWRP or OrangeFox, I get the erros from the picture below.
It somehow crashes and I need to close the Powershell Window.
I tried several different USB Ports and USB cables.
Thank you!

Question Front Camera crash MIUI Global 12.0.5

Hey XDA Community,
I tried to start a video call with the Poco F3 yesterday.
However, I noticed that the front camera shows up, but after 2-3 seconds it crashes and WhatsApp and all other apps can no longer access it.
I can only switch between two rear cameras. It is the latest version (2.21.10.16).
Can anyone share impressions or have the same problem?
If there are solutions or ideas to fix this problem you are welcome.

Now i found out that this problem is systemwide and not only in specific apps.
I already reset my device and the problem still persists.

Question T-Mo A12 update, message icon on AOD never goes away

Is this a bug or a feature?

I've checked the Messages app (the Google one, the stock one is disabled), even force closed it, and yet this remains until I reboot the phone. Is this an OOS thing? Or A12 in general? Or maybe the app itself?

No one? Am I seriously the only one with this annoyance?

Never had this problem on any custom A12 ROM, or OOS12. Google message user here as well. Sorry I can't help much further than that.

Could be just a T-Mobile thing, maybe.
