Update .18-0 - Asus Zenfone 4 (2017) Questions & Answers

Good afternoon sirs. I got my Zenfone 4 within a few weeks. I saw that some users, like me, had some problems after the final .18-50 upgrade, such as poor battery life, slow loading, and, in my case, defective fingerprint sensor, unlocking with unlisted fingers. does anyone know if there is any way to fix these problems? Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what the update you're referring to is.
However, why not try the latest (dead easy to do - the instructions are provided) and remember to do a full factory reset after updating.
Use the correct region....

Last version for WW use I see is Version WW_15.0610.1811.18 dated 2018/12/06 with a size of 2.24 GBytes. Just downloaded and installed (seems to work fine). Maybe you should take the chance to update

The Official 2.1 Update (Build 8023)

I figured a lot of people want this instead of a nandroid backup so here you go. You're all welcome. Be aware that you will need to upload the fixed build.prop (recommended for US users) and change the boot animation (optional). Unpack the zip file and use stock recovery to flash this update.
My OEM version is GAUSB1A120521-US
Password is streakthis
Thanks and donations are much appreciated.

Can this be used on an O2-UK Dell Streak?
If so can we n00b's have a little guide?
Im desperate to get official 2.1, thanks!
Yup, it's from O2 as you can see in the screenshot.
as simple as dropping it on the sd card then?
No special build.prop adjustments? (<--the scary part for me)
Yup, absolutely. You don't have to edit the build.prop since you have O2 anyway. It's only for US users so it will reflect the US paid apps.

Not really, could just root with Universal Androot after flashing it?
I'm waiting for someone else to confirm this is legit though
Universal root works. I've had this update running for a week now.
Wow, really?
Is it worth flashing over the previous 2.1 rom?
I took the leap for everyone and it does indeed install. I have only had it running for a few minutes but it does seem a little faster than the beta. Hard to believe this is the official as there is still no way to use the front facing camera in the camera app unless i am missing something.
What else do you guys want me to check out?
Let me know I'll try it
I currently have the 6941 build. I have the At&t US version streak. If I update to this will this cause me any issues? I'm also rooted.
Mine's rooted and the front camera still can't be used unless i open fring or qik.

Which is why I question if this is the official update. Any reason for you to think it is? Or just guessing?
Any thing else that doesn't work from 1.6 to indicate it may not be official? I only used 1.6 for about 5 minutes so it is hard for me to compare.
its official from 02
Check the screenshot. It's official from O2. How many times do i need to repeat that? I got the notification as well.

There were others at Modaco that got update notifications for the 7546 package but that didn't make it official. I am just asking how you are confirming this is official or what about the about screen makes it official.
And I like I said I upgrade to it and it for sure is an update and seems to be running fine.
On the leaked update there is no trace of any brand support whatsoever. This one had a link to the O2 support site. I had to confirm it from an O2 rep. Yup, it's legit. Funny how they still didn't fix the front facing camera. In 2.2 perhaps? By the way, don't look at my about screen.. I'm talking about the screenshot on my first post.

nothing yet for Canada
I'm currently changing my region with Condi's tool. Here's hoping that works to download and crack the update...hrm..
edit: It's now telling me the update is to 3.2
Seems odd. Thinking maybe I should wait until Condi or someone can confirm that this will work alright...

Its correct behaviour. Thats because of sony.ro.build.incremental lowest valu ('1'). You can update (downgrade) to 3.2, then again update to 3.2.1,
and then to 4.03
Or change value to higher to get ICS update.
OR BETTER - wait for me (or other users) and we will give proper,
easy, step by step instructions.
I want to make ICS rom capable to use for every region
br
condi
Thanks for the quick reply Condi!
If that is normal behaviour, I might just carry on, and move through all of the firmwares, keeping them rooted along the way.
Will let you all know how it goes!
If someone can upload US firmware with is tablet.
EDIT : I wait for your tutorial condi ! You have time today?
i have a 16gb 3g italian tablet, if i change the region to us, and upgrade, and the change back the region to italian, will i lose the 3g support?
I'm in India, so I'll let you know if anything shows up over this way.

Nothing for me yet... USA
I see they have added direct access to files on the SD card.
Can anyone convince me of a good reason to wait for a root version? I can't think of anything I really need it for on this, unless someone finds a way to run Sky Go somehow through a hack.
Why cant I access this yet? USA rooted.

Bojanglez, I'm thinking the same as you - the only reason I rooted 3.2 was for the init.d support to run scripts for SD cards. Now that ICS supports that, is there any reason to root?....
Probably, there's always a good reason for it - CPU Master is as good excuse as any!
Anybody know if the Hotspot is disabled in ICS as in Honeycomb?
pretty sick

I can't get the update here in the UK yet anyway, so I will wait and see how it goes here.
If I can get a rooted version as quickly as the official I probably will, but I'm not sure I can resist the temptation just to upgrade if it becomes available before.

Likewise - the temptation to just go for it is great - BUT - we should be aware of the kernel situation (.10) that stopped some users from rooting. Best not to be too hasty, Condi might well present something to keep root. He usually presents something awesome!
Does anyone actually have this yet?

r750aucu2apc1 Gears S update

Can anyone point me to the information that says what's in this update. Just got it a week or so ago... google doesn't provide much detail on the specifics... I can download the firmware but nothing to tell me what it changes
Thanks
I still have R750PVPU1APB1
Supposedly it improves compatibility with MM and fixes the freezing error(which I was getting).

Added root access to the newest update for my own Gear S, so decided to share: (flash using Odin)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0a0KxS2Q3gUcGNoOGdDOWhhbGM/view?usp=sharing
Also I have the stock odin firmware for the newest release. Oops, this is for the T-Mobile version.
My battery life took a nose dive from this update. Wish I up-didn't.

Factory reset and not installing anything seems to sort this out. I think its related to some app ive installed, sadly i dont know which

its most likely the update process itself. Don't worry. Apps (without root) aren't supposed to cause to cause random reboots.
Sometimes old settings files and stuff from the ROM before the update can conflict with the updated ROM and cause bootloops and yeah the only way to remove those files is a factory wipe.
Its not your fault. Don't worry.
In 8.2.18 china stable rom this bug fixed.
Okay, so about week ago my phone got replaced(volume buttons broken). New one i have is 8.1.15 global. All was fine until today. Issue got back. I will update to 8.2.5 and see if it gets any better but im a bit concerned about what i heard about 8.2.5 global(battery charging issue for example). Anyone can confrim this?
No charging issues here on 8.2.5. No battery drain. I recommend update to 8.2.5
thanks for the reply, as soon as i insta
Thx for the reply. As soon as i install this update i will infor if it helpes or not.
Update didn't fixed this but factory reset after update did(at least for now). I wonder what is causes this? Some bug hidden in settings on 8.1.15 that makes conflict with incoming/outgoing calls? Anybody have any ideas?
Issue got back, this is very f**king annoying. I regret buying this phone... Anyone can help? I am on 8.2.5

Backup your data, use Mi flash to reflash firmware , that will leave it like in factory state, it repartition and reformat phone in the way. Many are recommending the MM beta 8.2.7.0.
I'm currently on 8.2.2.0 very good, highly recommended but do your homework and do a lot of research before downgrading or flashing in general. I think YouTube might be your friend in this case.

Issue is getting back over and over again, tried everything(even complete flash to latest available official rom with repartition)
All methods work for a while then issue is getting back after approx 2 weeks, i dont know what causes this, i am afraid that warranty won't cover this cause this is clearly software problem built deep into ROM, and first thing they do after they got in on desk in service is factory reset - this solves the problem for a while, and so on, till the end of the time... Maybe i should try some other ROM than that piece of sh** MIUi? All i want is good performance and stability - what rom will suit my needs best? My device is redmi note 4 snapdragon 3gb/32gb

Leave some posts so I know it works OK, I'm new to this
It would be good if someone could post if this rom was ok, as have a T825 rom built with the same method that I cannot test, due to having a T820 myself. So speak up please
Thank you for this. Now I have to ask a couple of newbie questions. I've been exclusively in the Sony Xperia and Nexus worlds before, this being my first Samsung. In trying to figure out if the processes I've become familiar with are applicable to this device, using your ROM.
For instance, my Sony's were pretty easy after the initial root. Kind souls in the community took new releases and created a pre-rooted firmware with TWRP and SuperSU built-in. I could then just dirty flash the ROM from TWRP, sometimes wiping cache/dalvic, and like magic my device is upgraded with no loss of data.
Is this how it works with this AQF5 ROM? I'm starting with a rooted (@ashyx method) T820 with AQBB. Do I just download the rooted ROM to SD card, boot to TWRP, dirty flash and go?
Thanks again!
Hi,
Dirty flash should work, sometimes I try that first and if I get any strange behaviour, do a wipe and re flash then load the rest back with titanium backup. Make sure you have all your backups organised first before starting.
Let me know how it works out. The risk with the first option is something residual being left that may result in force closes or just defeating the purpose.
Just beware if for some reason it doesn't root DM verity will occur and you will be forced to format internal data so back that up to your external card too, before, just in case, shouldn't happen though. I have no idea how many others have used this yet as there have been no replies to say all ok

Not sure I can use this ROM in Germany, what kind of modifications are made? Would love to see some development
As long as you have the same model T-820 you can, some local variants have a local customisation but it's likely to be minor with this model. From memory when I set it up on mine all common languages were available, if that's your concern, make sure you have a twrp backup and you can always roll back
The only mods were as listed above, seems slightly quicker, perhaps the zip aligning, but it will allow more mods as they come along

I have always wondered about that. Flashing a base from another country. Like I live in the US so I always have flashed USA versions. You are
saying that I CAN flash this Korean version on my T-820 phone and have all working ok with English ?

For the record, I don't live in the us but bought mine from best buys whilst there, it was rooted within a couple of hours from memory,..... can't help myself ?.
I Flashed a firmware from another country after that,, just because it was a later series, can't remember which.
I use the Tweaked one as my daily driver, people seem to be finding that good. I have found the latest firmware now seems to carry out a full wipe, and I haven't managed to flash a rom over it yet, so reverted back to the Tweaked version I have.
It may require an update to TWRP
If you have any problems restore your backup, if you want to persist flash the firmware that its based on first,AQF5, then flash the ROM over it, with our without wipe.

This rom is not being developed any more,but the tweaked version in this forum, is based off the stock firmware which came after this,it runs stable, has a few enhancements and being a later base it's got a number of Samsung security updates too.
