Gyroscope and other sensors not working after recent updates. HELP!

Thank you for clicking on the thread.
I've loved my Zenfone 2 for a while now. I have the 64gb 1080p model. It was a well priced powerful phone for what I wanted.
However, I recently received an asus software update that completely borked the Gyroscope and some other sensors. I have read about similar issues online and testing the sensors reveals that they're not working.
Does anyone know how I can fix this? I have been unsuccessful in trying to install CyanogenMod13 or even TWRP/CWM. I rooted my phone and the bootloader is unlocked (white backscreen upon loading).
It seems as though ASUS doesn't want to fix this, would upgrading to a custom ROM provide firmware that would properly recognize and use the gyroscope as input?
I've tried wiping the system cache in the stock recovery, resetting to factory new and everything to no avail.
I am willing to "tip" or "pay" for someone's time if they can help me as I cannot auto-rotate or use any applications requiring certain sensors.
Thanks for your time.

I've upgraded to CM13 successfully now and the gyroscope is still not even recognized in Sensor applications. Is it hardware?

solution?

Zuk Z2 Plus Touch Freeze

Hello Guys! I recently started to notice a very odd issue on my zuk z2 plus. I currently am running AospExtended ROM V6.4 (Android 9, Pie) with magisk installed. But this problem started before magisk was installed.
What happens is when i unlock my phone, after a mere 2 seconds, the touch absolutely freezes. I mean the screen is on, hardware buttons (U touch, Power & Volume Rocker) work, and i can even receive notifications, which means the phone is working, but the screen is not? If I turn off the device (Not Power Off, Just a tap of the power button) and unlock again, the touch resumes, but only for 2 seconds. This can be done infinitely. Reboots, shutdowns, forced power off, recovery etc all seem to go in vain, though some lucky reboots can save the day. Also, if I unlock the phone and then open google in a flash and start typing anything, it sometimes works and the touch resumes. This issue also persists in Safe Mode. ​
My issue is also very similar to the one seen here :

Keep in mind that I faced the same issue on my previous rom, Resurrection Remix v6.0 Oreo. I can always provide additional information if anyone wants. If anyone has faced the same issue, or has the fix to this, please do tell me as it is very difficult to manage.

Did you change something in root partition. I had the same issue in msm xtended when i deleted some app from system but after dirty flash it was solved.

No, I did not do anything, also, the issue persists in safe mode too, so that means no 3rd party app is causing it.

It could be a rom issue, try posting it on rom thread. Sorry i may be of no help.

have you tried to QFIL to latest zui and observe if the issue persist in zui as well??

Same problem here. Never rooted my z2, don't even have twrp installed. Always have been on 2.5.104 ST rom.
Really frustrating issue caused by Lenovo. Will ever avoid any Lenovo devices in future.

****
Same problems happening with mine too
I think that my hardware problem but now i guess its every one problem slowly

As a matter of update:
I got my z2 repaired locally. Service diagnosed short-circuit failure of the sensor. Nasty /really wanted to use another word here/ production quality by lenovo. Cost me around $60.

Auto rotate doesn't work

Hi All, my redmi 5a auto rotate doesn't work, I don't know why but I've experienced a tragedy that maybe connected with this problem.
I use AOSP Extended ROM for Rolex in my Redmi 5A Device, as long as I use it I don't have any problem, but yesterday I've tried to restore my kernel into this ROM Stock Kernel ( I Use Direwolf Unified Before, Many Times I Try Other Kernel Also But And Never Had Such A Tragedy) After I Restored the original kernel, then I wipe my dalvik and cache as usual, BUT, Suddenly The Boot animation Stucked before it show's the AEX Logo, So I Think It Was A Bootloop Simple Problem, Than I Reinstalled My AOSP Extended OS, Than Something Happened, Even Since The First Boot It's Stucked At The Same Point, Than I Tried To Re-flash it again, and after that it still like that, so I was thinking that my External Memory Data Was Corrupted, So I Tried To Copy The File Directly From My PC To My USB OTG (I copied same AOSP ROM) than I reflash it but it still like before, than i start thinking if this ROM file (in my PC and SD card) is corrupted, so I tried to install PE ROM, But The Result Is Still Same As Before, Stucked At Boot Animation Than Forced Shutdown.
Well after that I think my device is get a serious problem such as hard brick or soft brick, than I tried to do clean flash to MIUI 10 Fastboot ROM With My PC, BUT the time elapsed is more long than usually (About 20 minute) waiting for booting and finally my device is normal, so I immediately install TWRP Custom Recovery (3.2.3-1 by FenFern) And Installing AOSP ROM Again (I Swear I Love This ROM) Everything seems normal no problem, restoring app, rooting, personalization, and etc.
Well the problem with auto rotate is coming when I see some funny videos on YouTube, my devices ONLY CAN ROTATE TO THE LEFT, AND CAN'T ROTATE AUTOMATICALLY AND CAN'T ROTATE TO THE RIGHT SIDE, I tried many game's app and watching some anime's in video player, Even If I Switch to auto rotate mode.

Question Random reboot +- corrupted boot image?

Hello, recently I got the poco f3 (256-8gB) and I have experienced a really weird behavior (I know about random reboots other peooke expperience, but please read what happened to me)
I rooted it with magisk (patching boot image using latest stable apk from official github).
I added smali oatchee module to it.
At some point miui auto-updated to 12.5.1.0 RKHEUXM, I had to get boot image from the update, extract from payload and reparch to get magisk back.
After this I noticed the phone rebooted randomly, it happened like once in 2-3 days, son nothing really anoying, I didn't pay much atention to it since the phone worked flawlessy for everything else. Then I tried to connect to a router wifi (router setup with openwrt) and I noticed EVERY TIME I tried to connect to that specific wifi the phone rebooted. I tried to reconfigure the wifi network but it still happened. No problem with other devices.
Then the next day, I openwd an app which had embedded adds (an app I have been using for a long time, the very same version). 1 second into the add the phone rebooted...and it became stuck in a bootloop in MIUI logo. I couldn't even power off the phone, I could enter recovery/fastboot though.
I used twrp to wipe it without erasing my data, but problem still persisted. Only reflashing boot image (I used stock version) revived my device. I tried to boot it without flashing, phone seemes to boot but with no display.
So I decided to make a full wipe, then reinstall magisk. Phone has been working fine since then, but the occasional random reboot still happens and I'm afraid eqch time my poco f3 will be stuck in bootloop again.
My conclusion is somehow boot image got coreupted, but I can't think of anything I could have done for that to happen, as I only had magisk set up, I didn't even use any app with root permisions yet. Any ideas why that my have happened?
I'm thinking of flashing twrp to recovery so I can reflash boot image from it in case this hapens again...

You mentioned your device rebooted when it connects to a specific WiFi network. Can you get logs for connecting to the network?

I do not use magisk, but I read this thread a lot lol, so as I see the simpler way to root ur phone is to boot to TWRP (fastboot boot xxxx.img) and install magisk from Advanced settings. As I know, there is even an option that allow u to keep ur root after an rom update. U can give it a try, maybe it will solve ur random reboot problem.

My phone is already rooted via magisk patching the roms's boot.img, then flashing via fastboot. That's the recommended method for this device afaik.

Try clean flash. Backup all your stuff that you want to keep. Format data in TWRP before booting into system.
OTA auto-update from time to time causes issues.

I tried again and the revoot when connecting to that certain wifi network persists.
Is there anyway I can reflash my current firmware without having to wipe? Can I jast flash my current update with twrp with no data loss? (Basically what happens when a system update is out...)

Just posting to note that update 12.5.3.0.RKHEUXM solved all those random reboots for me.
They were also happenning when trying to share image/links/anything via bluetooth, telegram....only thing that worked without reboot was "copy link" in the share button.

Wifi/Mobile Data no longer works

Hey guys,
My Pixel 2XL initially had some reboot issues so I decided to root it, and was able to do that successfully with magisk on stock firmware with some modules installed as well. It regained its functionality for the most part but unfortunately the Wifi stopped working (kept searching, could'nt find any network). It would sometimes randomly work on some reboots but whenever it did, the phone would auto-reboot after a while and lose the function again (but would work perfectly otherwise).
So I decided to unroot and factory reset with stock firmware thinking it might be a partition defect, just to see if that fixes it but it didn't. And what's more, the phone has once again returned to bootlooping like before root. Can anyone help me find out the issue here? And if I can manage to root it again and get it working, is there some way to resolve this issue (maybe through a custom kernel)?
