Hey there,
I am thinking of buying the ZenFone 4 Pro.
I have a Huawei P8 lite (2015), and I regret buying a phone which does not get any custom roms.
I saw that there was a LineageOS for the ZenFone 2, but could not find anything for the ZenFone 3 or 4?
Is there some issue which prevents people of creating one for the ZenFone 4, or just noone is working on it?
Thanks in advance for information
seems pretty dead in that point but it's because this phone has market issues (low availability) and only a 2 months ago ASUS release a working bootloader unlock tool. Right now you can only root it.

So now you cant install any rom into it?
How about clockworkMod?

I just want to install custom recovery, so i can do backup of the whole internel memory.
Dont want to install any ROM for now.
Does any TWRP recovery would work on Zenfone 4 Pro?
The official recovery doesnt have much option, only clear cache, factory reset as you know.
I have just received ZS551KL and this is my first day with it after 4 years with Sony Xperia Z2. I have unlocked bootloader (very easy), rooted and installed TWRP Recovery.
This is the only smartphone I have found that has all my needings: FM Radio, NFC, jack 3,5", high quality cam, ecc
ZenUI is good, easy to use and low bloatware but I need a nice Custom ROM. I hope there are some developers working on it because this is a great smartphone.
I have received it with Android 7.1.1 and no update to 8 for the moment Do you know if it is possible to update using Fake GPS or similar?
I am starting now with it, so if you have any question, I can answer them.
Anyone with a good room for ze554kl?
I am currently on build number BG2-W09C100B008. Just bought the tablet. Weirdly, this firmware is not even listed here: (cant post link, but it's at huawei-firmware [DOT] com [SLASH] phone-list [SLASH] huawei-mediapad-t3
Tried going directly to the newest one there, but it just goes into recovery boot loop. How do I update the tablet to 7.0?
Hello, sorry for bringing up an old thread but I am also wondering if we can flash the nougat rom BG2-U03 over BG2-W09.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks and happy 2019!

BG2-W09 has different SoC
For anybody else who has high hopes when dropping into this old thread.
BG2-W09: MTK MT8127 WIFI-only
+
BG2-U03: Spreadtrum SC7731G 3G GSM/UMTS
=
Soup Sandwich !!! or in other words A MESS.
Different SoC, hardware and genetics. Don't try it, it will not work, at all.
So my phone is SUPPOSED to be an Asus Zenfone 4 Max plus..... but the settings shows it as an X015D
Any ideas??
It looks like a chinese phone with a worldwide rom on it - no auto update available, im a little confused where to look for ndroid 8/9 support
Im on android 7
the kernel is ww_14.00.1706.18_20170609

Hello everybody,
My 10 year old daughter got a tablet bought on AliExpress as a gift.
When I turn it on, the Mediatek screen appears in boot.
The model is a TAB910 with the Chipset: MT6797.
I put you the report created by DROID INFO in PDF format.
My question: is there a custom rom for this tablet?
Because it is noted android 9 but in reality it is android 4.4 with SDK 19.
I don't know if it is rooted.
Thank you for your reply.
Regards
Christophe
Return the tablet to AliExpress and request refund of purchase price because you have been cheated.

Are there really no custom ROMs that will work on this device?

I am sure there is. One that is made by someone in China somewhere. I have a few with custom Roms on them but to get a custom rom to redo one is hard to get so I just take these as a loss till I am able to find a site to get it

I have recently acquired a carrier unlocked Motorola G Stylus 5G 2022 (XT2215-4) and have successfully unlocked the boot loader.
I have been looking for TWRP recovery files/images for my device but have been unsuccessful up to this point. I am considering compiling some from source, if need be, at which point I will likely compile lineage from some source for it as well.
Does anyone know if the 2021 (Denver/Osaka) models can or should be used as a template for attempting this? Additionally is anyone looking into porting to this device? I am a bit new to this and wouldn't mind a bit of assistance.
Thanks!
Just got the device the other day but haven't bootloader unlocked it. I'm assuming due to the different processor alone it's likely we'll need our own device tree. I haven't really done that stuff before but maybe if we get a Telegram group going we could get some Moto vets to help out maybe?
I have been able to extract the dtb.* files from the firmware's dtbo.img however I have not attempted to compile it into the dts.img via the dtc utiliity like many of the tutorials on the subject say you need to do. This is because none of the ones I found say anything about having to deal with multiple dtb files like the ones I was presented with when I extracted the dtbo.img from the device firmware. I didnt want to try it and have it be totally wrong.
On the motorola github I have posted an issue requesting the release of the kernel, device tree, and any other pertinent files, pertaining to the stock firmware for the XT2215-4. Hopefully they come back in an reasonable time so that I can move forward with compiling Lineage OS for it.
Rooting:
Once you get the bootloader unlocked, you can root it by flashing the boot.img that has been patched with Magisk using fastboot. Perhaps Ill post a step by step guide for this for the XT2215-4 in the next day or so.

Thanks Buddy !
Yes because the chipset differs between 2021 and 2022 models, you cannot use same device trees :/
Just purchased this device, twrp done for it yet ?

This is a mediatek phone, you will have to wait on the Milan files from Moto directly, and last I checked they haven't released the tree yet.

XT2215-4 is not mediatek it's Qualcomm snapdragon SDM695 w same sm6375 chipset as the xiaomi note 11 Pro, I would rather have Orange box recovery cuz I'm spooled to the OTA update block, I was about to bust out studio and Android kitchen myself and see if I could Port it from the xiaomi note 11 Pro but I know the kernel going to have different drivers as the 11 pro has a lot better camera like 100 megapixel versus 50 megapixel a few other small details different LTE bands.. maybe enough to just swap the kernels out and Android kitchen to get a buggy twrp up in there interim as we're I'm waiting the kernel ource code and devised tree Moto has only posted like three of their 12 devices I was about to supposed to request when I saw his already posted I'll try to back him up maybe if we bug the crap out of them the xiaomi people had to do that.. they have ricedroid, PE, lineage evolution x, Sapphire, and arrow all kinds of ROMs for the same chipset Xiaomi note 11 pro / Poco note 4 (apparently the Paco is the same device just different country branded and somehow it's the only one that's allowed to play like pubg battlegrounds and stuff cuz they're trying to push the pacos or whatever) i ran across it all in the telegram and I still don't think they have gotten their source code yet. I'm not sure how they even ported all this. Because the telegram thread with all the ROMs I was looking at ror porting and still requesting people to spam xiaomi' about releasing the source
I dumped and built up a recovery device tree for xt2215-4, then built twrp from source with the twrp 12.1 branch
-STATUS-
twrp boots
touch currently broken
usb currently broken
Will post more when I have more to post

I have a Mediatek variant. I have CPU-Z as a confirmation. I also have made it quite clear in my guides that I have a Factory Unlocked version purchased from Best Buy. So I'm on Milan, Mediatek Helio P65 MT6768 board.
It would behoove you to read and do research before spouting out unconfirmed information.

I'm unclear what you are responding to. My xt2215-4 is also qualcomm. It also reports the board as holi. Mine was also purchased carrier unlocked from best buy. After sifting through the internal guts of the rom after super and partitions inside have been extracted, it's def a qualcomm device. What is your model # ?
I have also rebuilt the super image to use a GSI rom but I cannot seem to get service fully functional. If anyone would like to help me work on it, join my Telegram Android group and let me know. I have twrp built but also need some help getting the touchscreen script working as well as usb functioning. I know my device is using a Novatek screen as repoted by fastboot getvar all

You could wait for Moto to release the trees. Nobody's made a request so that could be the delay.

I'm responding to your original post where you insinuated I didn't have a Mediatek device, which I do. I think the issue is, I thought you were referring to my G Stylus 2022, which is
Moto G Stylus (2022) XT-2211 Mediatek Variant.and not the 2215.
