Asus needs beta testers for Zenfone 2 new firmwares - ZenFone 2 General

Hi guys.
Like i'm saying, ASUS needs beta testers for test the new firmwares..
They're trying hard to give us 5.1 and in a future Android M, so lets help em a bit:
http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=11202

Way too much info required. What a scam, Asus

Thanks for the info, signing up bow
Edit: just realised i said bow

You mean the same info asked when requesting RMA or refund? What a scam, indeed.

I have applied, mainly because I want to do my bit towards getting us 5.1.1 and then hopefully M as quickly as possible. I have no problem with the info required, but having to manually input the massive string that is the build number is pretty irritating and off-putting.

I feel the same way, but it is done, nonetheless...assuming you are updated, this should be it: MR7-LRX21V.WW-ASUS_Z00A-2.18.40.12_20150529_9543_user044030427_2015010601090010000200001
Keep in mind this is for my 1ML variant in the US

Change the Z00A to Z008 if you are in the ZE550ML minority, like me.

Good eye.

Since the beta firmware will be received vía OTA, I completely understand why they're asking for S/N and IMEI..
:good:

Not that good an eye - on closer inspection, the string is actually quite different for the 550. We have firmware version 2.18.40.7
If you need that string, it should be:
MR7-LRX21V.WW-ASUS_Z008-2.18.40.7_20150601_3225_user 044030427_201501060109 0010000100001

Will we get an email if we are accepted as a beta tester?

Since im not rooted...i signed in too ty for the info

I want to sign up, but as this is my daily driver I fear a brick.

I applied but I am from India..
After sign up did they sent any confirmation mail or something? If you sign up and received, please tell me know

No email received after apply

I haven't received any response after applying this morning. It's obviously a manual approval process.

I kinda want to apply, but being rooted and keeping that root would be too problematic. However, this does mean that we will continue to get updates from Asus, and hopefully 5.1 soon and Android M in the future.

Submitted the application, just waiting for approval

Has anyone who applied for this received any response?

The exploit already in use is basically the common exploit method. It's not likely that anyone will release a non-adb root method for 2.3.3, because none of us want to waste any exploits to get temp-root until ICS ships. So all that really remains is making it easier, and trying to reduce the amount of "damage" done to the device. The batch file greatly improved it.
So even to #teamwin there's really no good reason to move forward with exploits,
between my batch, scaryghoul and OTAKings manipulations to the img file this way, seems as thou it's a " take it how it is because it fully works now' or ' don't use it"
Either way if you want to continue to improve this stage of getting the hboot cracked, you have my support
You should do it but then not release it till ICS so like do the work now and drop later to speed up the root process
Tried cracking it using a 3 step step-down to Hboot-ENG but it was still stuck at .98 :| F-U HTC.

Do a back up of the .img off an oem shift, check the hex. Something should come out of it.
Dev, I tried that but it needs to flash a zip signed by HTC but I can't find the signature key. :| It's not worth it anyway. I'll try and think of something else for it.

Not sure what you're trying to do here - find a new root or tweak the existing root to make it easier?

im currently rooted, how do i unroot 1st?
Have you tried downloading the update (from the links provided on this forum somewhere), putting it onto your SD card, booting to recovery, and applying the update? I did that and I was already rooted before hand (meaning I didn't have to unroot). Did you do any other changes to your OS aside from rooting, such as applying the GPS fix or any other kernels?

No problem. Hopefully we'll have TWRP for 6.0 (EMUI 4.0) soon and kernel source too.

If you are rooted, you can copy the downloaded file and post it here. Usually it is located in "/data/data/com.motorola.ccc.ota/app_download" and the name starts with "Blur_Version...."
Then un-root and update if you want. Or not...
What's the size of the update? And and and could you like translate the image

Unfortunately, SuperSU does not work on 7.0 YET. I recommend you use Magisk root method that you can fond somewhere on XDA. And, given that you rooted, I imagine that you have a custom recovery. You will need to flash your stock recovery before you update in order for the OTA to be successful.
Interestingly, the build is NPJS 25.93-14.4 - perhaps the S means it's a security patch (which would make sense given the update notes)?
As for rooting with SuperSU, the existing method with ElementalX/SuperSU may still work, but until more people have the update and tested it, we can't say. That particular update is not here in the UK, so it could be territory specific or taking time to deploy.
Ill try over the weekend if nobody does it before so
