Question Wifi and Hotspot Not Turning On - ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s

Hi,
I bought my phone three months back. Ever since the last update Version Name - WW18.0840.2106.86 my wifi and Hotspot just won't turn on.
I have been through the asus forum and seems like alot of customers are facing this issue.
One of them confirmed that even after replacing motherboard the issue persists. Others are facing air trigger issues after replacing the motherboard.
Just wanted to know if anyone here is facing similar issues.
DO let me know your thoughts on should I visit service center and Get my motherboard replaced or should I wait for the next update. My current Version Name - WW18.0840.2107.151
PS: My phone is not rooted
Thanks

I have not had these issues personally. I just updated to .151 last night though, so we shall see.
The general consensus is that the mobo needs to be replaced, and will most likely not get fixed with a software update. If it was correctable, a major issue like this would have forced a new FW update after .86 caused your initial problem.
You could always try flashing raw FW if you really want to tinker, but I doubt it will help. I would hit the service center and get the mobo replaced.
Good luck!

Really? I have same problem after update. It didn't allow me to turn on wifi. But if its sure that installing kernel would solve the problem I might give it a try
Would you elaborate your situation regarding this sir?

Where did you install OTA file? Does Ota file install mean you in the home screen of the phone? Ota is in the main storage, right?

OTA files are the standard updates. There are a lot of how to guides that answer most of these questions, which may be why nobody is jumping up to walk you through it.
I wouldn't trust someone installing OTA files in TWRP because the system handles them already without any software. That is just asking for problems.
ROG Phone 5(s) Help Index
"Quick Filters" let you see all posts of a certain type. This can make finding posts easier, but what if a guide began as a "Question"? This thread aims to bridge that gap. You will find nearly all of the common things new owners are trying to...
forum.xda-developers.com
The link I posted earlier is included in that. Not sure why nothing showed up for it, but maybe you'll have better luck getting to it that way.
There's always a possibility it is a hardware issue. A lot of them have been SIM, Wifi, and Bluetooth issues. If you suspect a kernel issue, make sure you are following the instructions to restore. If you only flashed a boot, you didn't follow the instructions.

[Q] Radio Updates?

I'm having some really annoying radio issues with my phone and I'm on the March 27 2011 radio. I'm used to my old HTC phones where all I would have to do is a fastboot flash radio command. Can someone explain how to upgrade the radio on this phone?
Thanks
Goto Lg's website and use the official updater. That's pretty much the only way.
I tried that way a little while back and for some reason it would just refuse to update for me :\

That issue should be fixed. Try the updater again. It now supports all G2X internal model numbers (i.e.,LGP999DW, LGP999DWP and LGP999DWDU).

Latest software update fails

Hi guys,
Just like other people I have also rooted my Note 3 and flagged/tripped the KNOX counter...
The issue first appeared when I was trying to upgrade from Android OS, v4.3 (Jelly Bean) to v4.4.2 (KitKat). The update notification popped, it took roughly 40 minutes to download the firmware and I was then prompted to install. The device then restarted automatically as usual and I received the "Failure to update" window. I have tried couple of times more in case something went wrong with the download but it didn't help. So I had to install the update manually from SamMobile, using Odin and wiping my phone data. Everything went well and I am now enjoying the KitKat version.
Today it seems a new update appeared around 26 MB and I am facing the same issue. After I download the update and hit install, the device will restart and then show the "Failure to update" window.
Is there any way to fix this? Does it mean I can never install the updates automatically?
Please advise and thanks in advance.

Oke, well you can`t install official updates when you are rooted (modified the system)! I suggest you download Mobile Odin Pro from Play and flash the whole new rom from www.sammobile.com and keep root.

Right, so I can just receive the updates but not install them! that's convenient
Do I have to wipe everything again or just install the latest update? Because if I have to wipe everything each time there's an update, I may just cancel the whole update thing until there's something like a major update

You don`t have to wipe as the updates atm are mostly bugfixes. Only wipe cache and dalvik cache after the flash.

Okay I think I got it, so each time there's an update I must download the whole ROM and flash it on top of the current? Since it's the same, it only updates the files that are needed while keeping the rest of the system intact.

Oreo update not coming?

InoHello everyone.
It has been a long time since my last post....
I bought my HTC U11 128GB/6GB last August and I find it awesome. Since the announcement of the Oreo update being rolled out, I became impatient to try it. I checked and checked for updates... but nothing. Right now it's running Android 7.1.1, SW version 1.27.400.21, with the October 2017 security patch.
How can I find if there are other updates that I didn't receive? How can I find my model number? How can I force the updates?
Info: My phone is already unlocked (it's the first thing that I did after receiving it).
Edit: with Simple CID Getter I found out that my CID is HTC__060. Is it the DUGL/India model? If yes then I guess that the Oreo update didn't arrive yet?
Thank you in advance to anyone that can help me.

I just did a backup. Downloading the first files to upgrade from 1.27.400.21 to 2.31.400.6 now. Do I have to flash all the files? OTA, recovery, boot and firmware? Or only the OTA zip is enough?
Edit:
I tried to install the OTA Zip with TWRP and it gives me an error message. I think I will wait until the official OTA arrives (hoping it doesn't take too long).
The wwe version has only just been updated so you'll probably get the update in a month or so once the carrier is happy with the release. My advice is to wait. Do not root and s-off for it.

You can try to connect through the VPN that allows to select server located in India.

Solution with VPN worked for me. And phone updated to Software version 2.42.400.3

Downloaded the first time with VPN, tried to install it, but it didn't work (I had TWRP, and after reboot I got the message that the update was corrupted). I flashed the recovery from the Google Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...EYtQ_tRcOSJ0vWcvk8a7TK8Hk/edit#gid=2137120377
using:
Code:
adb reboot download
and then:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_1.27.400.21.img
I checked for updates and it asked me to download it again, no VPN needed. Downloaded it and tried to install it (much faster). Phone restarted, update started, and after a few seconds I saw a black screen with a red triangle.. it looks the same as when it's in recovery mode.... Had to restart the phone again.
I'm trying again to download it and I'll check better if I can see the error.
Edit: It goes fast from 1% to 24%, then it stops at 24% for about 19 seconds and then black screen with red triangle...
Any idea what the problem could be?

Sorry, don't think I can be of any help here. Have almost no experience with this sort of things.
In my case I did not do any tweaking with the original OS.
First tried to explore any possible option to get it "official" way.
My only guess would be to try to roll back to the original state and to have no trace of tweaking.

Yes, I will try to do a factory reset this weekend. If it's not working, I will try to follow the instructions on the other post to flash a RUU.
Edit: I did a factory reset, tried to update to Oreo, it still stopped at 24%. I flashed the latest RUU I could find on the spreadsheet, and then after 2 updates I'm finally on Oreo!!!

Downloading it now. I will be really interested to see if they managed to address the stand-by bug that was causing excess drain and upgrade the modem firmware to improve connectivity. Those are the two main remaining issues with this phone. Hopefully they also implemented a method to force applications into full-screen, but I'm not holding my breath on it.

Already disappointed on the modem firmware front. No upgrade there. Also, no ability to force full-screen. Going to pass judgement on stand-by bug after 48 hour or so, unless obviously an issue.
The fact that it was not released to beta first makes me think it may just be an official release of the beta

I sure as hell hope not because the deep-sleep issue is horrible. You lose an average of 1.5-2h of actual SoT and the drain is regularly >1% per hour in stand-by.

I was in the same boat as you. I was on 8.1B1 rooted so I fastboot flashed the boot.img, then rebooted , downloaded the OTA which wouldn't install.
Went back to boot-loader, flashed the boot.img to both slots, rebooted, took OTA, and it still won't work. I get "couldn't update installation problem"
I didn't have an issue getting the last OTA, the same way.
I dunno
Edit: Mine just did a factory data reset on boot up. I think I'll be able to install the OTA now.....

Yea..not looking to start over.
The OTA I downloaded was off the reddit announcement thread. I'm assuming that guy pulled it off the device. Essential said they were going to post "sideloading files" also. So, I'm hoping that those are somehow different. (Otherwise why wouldn't they just throw a link up there)
Wonder if Essential pushed it since Pixel is now offering pre release of Android P?
My radio has noticeably improved, instead of VZW its finally showing Verizon wireless. And the new developer options are nice

My install wasn't working either at first (same boat as you guys, Magisk rooted with custom kernel). At first I just did a Magisk uninstall and reboot but it wouldn't install. Thought maybe I still had a custom recovery installed, but there was no TWRP in recovery. So, I just did a sideload install of the 8.1 beta using adb and then rebooted. That put me back on stock 8.1b1 and retained all my settings/data. Then I made sure my settings were correct in developer options (USB debugging, etc.), and it's finally installing. Not sure, maybe I just didn't hold my mouth right the first couple times, but it's working now.
Can anyone tell me if stable has multitouch issues that were on beta?
Rooted 7.1.1 took the update just fine, lost root and twrp
Looking at META_INF\com\android\metadata, it's expecting essential/mata/mata:8.1.0/OPM1.180104.010/144:user/release-keys but, based on the text at the top of the screen when sideloading, the device is at ssential/mata/mata:8.1.0/OPM1.180104.010/144:user/test-keys. Changing it is pointless, since META_INF\MANIFEST.MF contains a SHA-256 hash of of the metadata file. I'm going to try recomputing the hash and updating the OTA zip.
Edit: Didn't work. But has someone on reddit confirm Jank4AUs situation.

Need help rolling back/unrooting my phone

I rooted my phone last week because I wanted to use substratum to theme my notifications. Since then, I've run into a bunch of frustrating problems.
Current Model: OnePlus 7 Pro 12GB version, build xXx_NoLimits_7.7 on OOS 9.5.11-GM21AB
Problems:
Phone used to be 9.5.11-GM21AA but now it's 9.5.11-GM21AB - does this affect anything?
Substratum hasn't worked in stock+root, and 2 different ROMs I've tried
Favourite app of mine doesn't work properly and I think it's because I'm on build 9.5.11 and not 9.5.10
How I messed it up: Started by rooting and trying to install Renovate ICE Rom, installed the wrong file which converted me to 9.5.5-GM21AB. Then I updated to 9.5.11 but it remained AB. I tried several times to unroot, roll back and get to 9.5.10AA but it always kept itself at 9.5.11AB. Sometimes my wifi would break. I currently have xXx NoLimits Rom installed.
Desired outcome: I want to unroot and roll back to 9.5.10-GM21AA stock
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
MSM tool should fix it.

Thanks, that was super easy. MSM automatically rolled back my phone to 9.5.3.GM21AA.
I have one more question - if I want to update it to 9.5.10GM21AA, how would I do that? If I update through the system, it will take me to 9.5.11, which I do not want. If the process is easier if I'm rooted, I already did that. To top it off, my substratum is working now after I reset my phone to how it is now. All I need is to update it to 9.5.10 and I would be sooooooo happy .
Thanks in advance!

Just download the full zip for 9510 and update via system update

Thanks for your reply! I thought as much. Can you clarify if these steps are right?
Go to https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=294300
Download the one I want (9.5.10AA)
Move the file to my phone's internal storage
Update via Local Upgrade
Is this correct? Will I still have root after I do this?

Correct
You will unrooted after the upgrade as itll flash completely stock.
Just re-roof after it and your good to go!
Hey @virtyx I copied the exact zip file I downloaded into my root directory for Local Upgrade but it wasn't recognized. I then tried to just flash the zip through TWRP but it said it was an "Invalid zip file format".
Do you know what I'm doing wrong?

For my purposes, 9.5.9 and 9.5.10 are good. 9.5.11 reverted something with the brightness and so I don't want to use it.
I found a zip from the OP site for 9.5.9 so I was able to update to that one and since I got root/substratum to work without issue, I'm happy to stay at this build. In my eyes, my phone is absolutely perfect now and I am extremely happy. The only thing I would change is the size but that has nothing to do with the software/OS. Thanks for everybody's help!

I don't blame you, 9511 isn't as smooth as 9510.
also noticed 9510 had better battery life.
I might roll back myself
