Question Regarding Multi Touch Bug. - Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 Questions & Answers

Sorry if i sound like a noob.
As we all know multi touch bug still exist in Max pro m1 as of now on 311(latest update).
Shivam kumar jha developed a custom rom for our phone AOSP Extended back when Device was just launched and somehow this multi touch bug was solved in it.
So my question is, is it possible for developers to somehow solve the multi touch bug on stock rom in same way it was solved on AEX?

June Security Patch update will, hopefully, fix it. It is expected soon.
If you are impatient, one needs to root their device to be able to take steps that fix multi touch bug on stock rom. Requires Magisk or editing a system file to 'fix' the bug. Rooting your device effectively voids its warranty.
Consider your options.

It will be fix in next update
Also can we expect camera2api in next update?

Not sure about camera2api.
But there are ways to achieve it and it requires root.

Hi bro..I recently bought the device. You said you are on Nitrogen OS right now.
My doubt is, if you wanna get back to official stock ROM, then, will your device get OTA updates released by Asus?? And, are you sure about it??
Please reply to this. Thanks in advance.

Yes. But It requires RELOCKING your bootloader even after you revert to stock.(in case you revert using twrp backup.)
After unlocking bootloader *UNOFFICIALLY* if you want, you can relock it and enable OTA again.
Unlocking with *OFFICIAL* tool will BREAK your OTA permanently.
You can Use this guide to revert back to stock with ota enabled.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/as...ow-to/guide-revert-to-stock-rom-lock-t3798420
Note:-This Guide tells you to flash stock rom through fastboot method.
The only version of stock rom that is flasbable through fastboot is 247.
The latest 311 and older 309 & 305 cannot be flashed from fastboot.

ASUS cancelled 2.19.40.18 OTA

guys
http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=14836&pid=107979
asus said they cancelled this update due to unstable update...
1st i dont know what is unstable in this version[same as previous and new bug of call screen animation
2nd lol which update came without new bugs?
3rd they removed after they heard about unlocking bootloader..something fishy right :laugh:
they will probably patch the unlock method with the next update, gonna unlock the bootloader before updating to next update.

Maybe there just will be a check and it will abort if the BL is unlocked
But it should be easy to adapt these OTA updates to unlocked devices

Nothing they can do. As long as you don't flash an OTA or full stock build. They may have a way to patch it in their droidboot.

That's how it works with all custom work. Once you're off stock, you're going to have to wait for someone to post a safe update/install.
Rushing in and taking an OTA is a very common way of breaking your build. Like what we see with running an OTA while rooted. Any number of problems can come up.
They could patch any number of things that would give you a very bad day.
With the support we have here though, we'll probably have flashable, safe OTA zips within a few hours of an OTA being captured/downloaded.

well i am from sony device..they release main update of android..and 1 bug fix,thats all...so we dont care..and no need to worry about relocking issues..
this is the first asus device...man they releasing update for every 10days..i thought we could apply just like that..but since they didnt gave unlocked bootloader tool ,i got these doubt..
and thanks for info..
so i must wait for zips which is modified for unlocked bootloader[if they trying to relock]
I honestly doubt they're going to find a way to relock it with an update, but who knows what voodoo they may come up with.
Either way, we'll grab the updates and get them ready to be flashed quickly. It's a simple process.
I highly doubt he will do anything regarding unlocking/locking bootloader. because:
1. last year they released their official tool to unlock zenfone 4,5,6 bootloader after 3-4 months of release.
2. This year when they launched the zf2 in US they hold contest and developer events via xda. Now xda is a place where no one keeps their bootloader locked. so they knew exactly where they are releasing and advertising the product.
So I dont think they would even bother about this bootloader . Maybe it is an unstable build in terms of their quality test.
Dang, and my 551 (2/16GB) is still in transit.
Was browsing the forum and this thread - has 2.19 been captured and saved somewhere else, or was everyone just downloading off ASUS servers for this OTA (when forced)?
I don't know if I would want 2.19 yet. Maybe to keep on my PC until the right time. That is, if 2.20 comes out and the BL hole is plugged, and those who were on 2.19 (and took advantage of the bootloader unlocking) still got the update successfully - if either of those two outcomes are false, I wouldn't use it.

android is open source. and roms are not illegal. so why bother? i don't think asus is interested on ours bootloader plus, other zenfone's are already unlocked

Even if your phone gets here on a newer version (it won't), you could always downgrade everything and unlock from there. =)
Shakalaka has backups of everything going back to like version 2.12 or 2.13.

Problem is they can't support any ROM that isn't official on the zenfone. They'll pass you off. Like most manufacturers.
These are just official update links from Asus. Not backups. Asus can shut those down at any point. Not saying they will.
See here for pre-rooted ROM backups:

one more doubt..
i think 2.17 is stable build from asus without the android os drinking the battery
now i have unlocked the bootloader ,can i reflash the 2.17[asking since it doesnt have the things which enabled to unlock bootloader] ...or once unlocked,we can do anything like other brands phone?

I downloaded the appropriate OTA the other night, so if ASUS pulls the file, I still have it and can share it on Dropbox and/or Copy.
I get the phone today! So hopefully tonight I get the OTA up to 2.18 and then wait to see what upcoming 2.20 has to offer. If we can still unlock the BL with 2.20, I will let that OTA happen. Similarly if we find out that those who unlocked their bootloaders can't take the update (at that point I will cry a little, if there is no official way to unlock BL released with the update ).
If both scenarios above are false, then I will apply my downloaded 2.19, unlock the bootloader, then accept 2.20.
Best one could do eh?

I cannot imagine it would re-lock the bootloader. Should be able to downgrade, as long as you use the whole image and not just the OTA zip.
Now you got me wondering....

but the unlocked needed some file right..it modifies something right? ...and it is not present in old things..so can old fw run on unlocked bootloader? [or would it get bootloop or damage bootloader]

Stagefright updates.

Just read that LG is planning on monthly updates for security reasons....
http://phandroid.com/2015/08/06/lg-...ey-too-will-release-monthly-security-updates/
Wish I didn't unlock? Or are we going to have those patches here available?
They better should enable bootloader unlocking for everyone.
Then each LG user can flash his own ROM and solve security issues very quickly with the community.
Nice announcement, but the stagefrighter hole is gaping and gaping...

you have unlocked the bootloader, so you have a custom recovery and could of course install any rom .
Sure at the moment there are not a lot roms available, but the official ones are however posted...
beside that, i don't think that unlocking the bootloader (and rooting the phone) will disable the OTA feature...

As I read OTA won't work on a unlocked phone.
But you can get the KDZ and flash this - you will need to root again though...

You will still be able to receive the updates, unlocking the bootloader does not stop you receiving OTA updates.

the bootloader itself does not change anything to the OTA process
but changing the recovery may block the OTA from working ... the phone may download the update but the custom recovery may not understand it :silly:
but most of the time, people find a way to create a flashable zip to make an update for custom recovery

Yeah they couldn't OTA as they had rooted, not because they had unlocked their bootloader.
OTA are still made available to people with unlocked bootloaders, just not to people who have rooted. At the end of the day you can just find the KDZ and flash it to update or make an update zip to do it from custom recovery.

That might be right, but as they said a simple unroot wouldn't work.
And BTW what is the point in unlocking the bootloader when you don't want to root?
I mean custom rom maybe but they are usually rooted as well for obvious reasons etc.

Unrooting via flashing a clean image worked fine for me, got OTA and then flashed new root.

Alright so I have a problem with the touch functionality of my phone. I have an LG G4 811 T-mobile variant. The new update is supposed to resolve that but I'm not sure how to update on a rooted device with twrp installed (update stagefrieght). I'm looking for a zip file and i have not managed to find it at all. Could someone help? Also if this is misplaced please devs move it or point me in the right direction to which my question can be answered.

Yes, it worked perfectly fine for my LG G4 H815 unlocked! Now on V10d-EUR-XX. Stagefright is fixed. ****ing sim issue (com.android.phone crashes, does NOT restart itself) remains. Support is worthless. Found a workaround myself.
LG lied about that updates. They never repaired these bugs and now it has About 50 stagefright etc vurnerabilities.
What updates you say? I'm still on V20D since January LoL LG is a joke.

[Help] Unable to receive any Ota

Hi,
before upgrading to January Oreo patch i was rooted with magisk, when i recived the notification of the update, disabled all the modules and restored the stock boot.img, then i installed magisk on the second slot for rooting the update and i rebooted.
When the device started i realized the is was with oreo december patch
Since then i can't no more receive any update through Ota.
I flashed the first nougat build in a desperate attempt of fixing my device but even with that i solved nothing, currently i'm on 7.8.23 build and it can't find any update.
I've checked my imei is it was in any blacklist but nothing, it's clean.
I've serched everywhere but i haven't found nobody with my same or similar problem.
Please don't answere with something like try to clean google framework data or do a factory reset.
Currently I'm desperate my only hope resides in this community.
thanks so much for any help!

Either wait for the update, because there are yet many people that haven't received yet, or wait for Xiaomi to release latest fastboot rom and flash it with Mi Flash.
The issue isn't the fact that i haven't received the latest January update, i can't receive any ota, as said, even from the first build it don't find anything.
I now, i can flash through fastboot or MiFlashTool but I'm trying to fixing my issue not pretending to forgot it.

The truth is, that Xiaomi temporally suspended all updates due to amount of bugs. Also try restore your phone with Mi Flash and latest firmware version ( Android O) from http://en.miui.com But as I said it is Xiaomi's fault.
Thanks so much for the help,
Yes my imei still there, i know the issue with ota that xiaomi had but i guess that at least i should be able of seeing something, i can understand not receiving the latest update but i don't get anything at all.
I hope there isn't nothing wrong with my phone or at least something i can fix.
Again, thanks for the support to everyone

Trust me that I feel your pain? Since I was playing around with flashing beta versions of Oreo and hard-bricked my phone twice. After second restoration of the OS no OTAs. So I thought it is because of false OS they put on it. So I flashed official Oreo through MiFlash but nothing yet so far. Meybe you or me can ask Xiaomi what to do or what is happening.

Sure is. It shouldn't be called Android One phone. The phone itself is great but software wise it is horrible. We are still not fully on 8.0 but there's 8.1.1 so Xiaomi should finally do something!

Pie update available as of today (18 Jan 2019)

Got the Pie update notice today along with January security patch. My question is for those who, like me, waited until the official notification to update.
With so many here experiencing problems with the previous update(s), it's hard to distinguish which threads are for it, custom, or for the latest Xiaomi update. Did you update to Pie in January? Are there any issues you've noticed with the update? Should I pull the trigger on the update or wait?
Any info is appreciated, as always.
Regards,
KB
I just directly installed January update, migrated from Oreo. Didn't face any issues as of yet.
By the way how do you guys turn on FM Radio?
No data since update.

I understand. I've not experienced many of the issues some have with the updates, though the battery issues a few updates ago were driving me crazy. Those seem to be resolved now and I can easily get 2 to 3 days out of a charge. The only reason I hesitated was I read some of the threads from the initial update Xiaomi put out, and was trying to be sure this one was less troublesome before allowing it. I saw a couple of folks complain about the loss of WiFi and Data on the first update, so perhaps all of the initial bugs haven't been squashed. I'm in Thailand, so need it to be as clean as possible.
Again, hope you get the issue resolved. Let us know if you do.
I am from Czech Republic and I can say I don't have any LTE issues, battery is great. No issues with Pie at all.
@KB_Thailand
If you are a big fan of gcam.. Then dont update, else do it.
For me everything is working fine, except gcam focus issue.
Stock camera works though.

I just directly installed January update, migrated from Oreo. Didn't face any issues as of yet.
By the way how do you guys turn on FM Radio?

You need to connect a wired headphone in the 3.5 mm jack, then you will get FM.

I don't know about this, coz I'm a non rooted user.
If it works, please share,

Well it works for me. Just unlock the bootloader, put the phone in fastboot mode, boot twrp cosmicdans from adb, flash magisk and when it boots open magisk and download camera patch for pie. It's really easy but i think when you unlock the bootloader you lose your data so think about it.

Got the Pie update notice today along with January security patch. My question is for those who, like me, waited until the official notification to update.

If you are stock 100% do it, if not hang out a while, no big issues now for stock, very few people on stock have had an issue with the latest Pie, those that do have very simple easily fixed things.

I did the update earlier today and haven't been able to get mobile data since. Can anybody help me?

Try the last page here, changing the IPv4/IPv6 setting, it fixed it for others who had a problem.

I have also lost my data connection since the update.
Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this problem?
EDIT : It seems that the update deleted the apn configuration. Re-entering it solved the issue.
Based on the positive responses I went ahead and did the update since my A1 is stock. So far so good with no issues I've noticed. Both data and wifi seem to be working properly.
Thanks for the responses!
After updating to pie many of the users including myself face an issue where the mic volume has reduced a lot. Other people can't hear me properly on normal voice calls

Thank you for confirming that,
After rooting, and installing the magisk patch, can I completely unroot and lock the bootloader, and will the patch still work?
Will unlocking the bootloader also wipe data?
(i thought only locking bootloader will wipe, we can use the vol button trick)
Thanks in advance.

1. Unlocking bootloader wipes data
2. Does your phone contain nuclear weapon key? If no, then i don't see any reason you dont want a unlocked bootloader. (Manufacturer denying warranty for unlocked bootloader is thing of past, MI has no problem with it. Also you can lock phone just before giving it to MI store in any case)
3. As long as you install apps from playstore, i also dont see any problem with a rooted phone either.

I just want to stay stock and receive official updates and with gcam working as like on oreo. That's it Bro.,
That's why i wanted to unroot and keep the BL locked.
Will the vol down key avoid wipe for unlocking BL as well?
And will the patch work after unroot?
Thanks

Question Issue updating to 1.1.2 OTA

Hey everyone, I am having an issue where my phone will not update to the 1.1.2 even when I have removed magisk and also disabled all modules. I am on the GL version and have not found an OTA update to sideload as of yet only the EEA version. Any ideas? I reallt want to update so I can root 1.1.2 but obviously at this point I have no access to the OTA. The error is "Installation will continue when device isn't being used. To install now, tap Resume." I press resume then it says Installation problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.
