Hello. Couldn't find a post related to this. I'm not a lazy browser, been on XDA for many years through many phones. Just haven't had the need for a user account until now.
I see the 7.2.4.0.0 version is removed from MIUI websites and i can think of a few reasons already.
Does anyone else have this problem too? I have the 3GB version and normally start out with 1.7gb RAM after a boot. Gradually over the day (even after closing apps) it goes slowly down to 200mb and i have to do a reboot.
Or Does anyone have the 6.5.30 version and could tell if it uses up the RAM over time?
Sincerely
John

You have a fake rom. 7.2.4.0.0 is not an official MIUI rom and newer was. 7.2.4.0 is an official rom.
You should flash the official rom.

Thank you. I didn't notice the extra zero and didn't think it was unoffical.

You are on an un-official modefied version.
The fake version is 7.2.4.0.0 <- your version.
The real official and supported by Xiaomi version is 7.2.4.0
Hi,
Hope I can get some help. I recently just picked up a unit and am on 7.2.4.0.0. Realised it was a fake rom but I seem to have trouble flashing the global rom or the china stable rom. Believe my bootloader is locked at this point and have applied through the unlock miui website but that will take at least 10 days or more to get the SMS.
Frustratingly, I have seen some solutions on the miui forum and there was one proposed solution, of which many were finding success, that includes booting to recovery mode and then hitting shift + [flash] when connected to the Chinese miPCsuite. My update only goes by to mid 50% levels and then its stuck on for several hours! Is this a USBC to USB port incompatibility issue (if it was it wouldn't have recognized the phone right?) or is my phone just beyond saving ? At this point, im not confident in using other solutions as they look highly technical and some have highlighted that their phone has bricked in doing so.
Appreciate any advice! thanks. PLEASE HELP!

if you already tried the simple steps as stated then there are no more simpl steps left.
Do an EDL flash and make sure you clear all, and be aware that most Mi flash stuff works best on Windows 64Bit.

What he said, download the latest, both files can be obtained HERE
-MiFlash tool - step 1
-official fastboot rom - step 2
install the MiFlash tool
extract the downloaded rom (tgz) then extract the output file (tar) > make sure you copy the path of the directory where you see all the files like flash_all flash_all_lock etc..
reboot your phone into fastboot mode (you can access this by turning off your phone, hold vol - and power)
make sure you have adb on your pc
type this: the first line is optional to see if the phone is recognized.
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot oem edl
edit: I should mention, do not panic, the screen of the device will turn black but will still remain on.
launch the MiFlash tool
Click on Refresh, you will see a device right now in the list called COM (some number) >>>> it will be ticked
Paste the copied directory path into the white... uhh search bar thingy . or just click Browse and select the appropriate path.
Click Flash
edit: once done, simply unplug your phone and restart it by pressing the power button.
That should be all

Thanks for the reply! Before proceeding, I actually received the SMS to unlock the bootloader but im still at work so I cant go back and attempt the unlock. So just trying to manage my expectations here.
Is it safe to assume that all I need to do now is log in to the unlock tool by miui and unlock? because im still on 7.2.4.0.0 (the unofficial discontinued rom) and I have no way of flashing it to any other roms. My last attempt last night was again, stuck at 52% after a nights worth of wait! TT

Thanks for the help. I will attempt this as a last resort. I just received the SMS to unlock my bootloader. Hopefully its as simple as logging in and unlocking so I can get rid of this pesky 7.2.4.0.0 supposed "Global" rom.
i have successfully flashed to global rom!!! but now i have no audio coming from the speakers!!!! is it just my luck!!!??? and after reflashing again.. its completely dead.. its goes into the sign in to miui welcome page and just goes insane.. like to the point where i cant even select options and and random menu sounds keep coming up.. cant even turn off i had to reboot to fastboot.. is a goner? sighs..
7.2.4.0.0 to Resurrection Remix (CM13)
- unlock bootloader
- flash TWRP with fastboot
- install Resurrection Remix
- install GApps
- reboot, now it's say Google play stopped.
- go back to TWRP
- wipe data
- reboot and everything is working
Sprint Downgrade from Android 10 Beta to Android 9 PIE:
MAKE A BACKUP WITH BACKUP BUILT INTO SETTINGS AND MOVE IT TO COMPUTER FROM LG Backup folder
Install python first and make sure to check add to path variables during installation - if you didn't you will have trouble later on
If you get any errors you can look up how to install the cryptography module - it seems to have fixed issues for some users
This is only recommended on Sprint devices as they have no other option. If you are thinking about installing the beta now, I would recommend you don't because final is coming out soon.
I will be putting the commands in " and do not include the " in what commands you execute
1. LG USB Drivers 4.4.2 http://tool.lime.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=UW00120120425
2. Download LGLAF and extract to desktop https://anonfile.com/7aa2z8Ean2/lglaf-develop_zip
3. Put your phone in Download Mode
a.) Power off your phone
b.) Plug in the cable connected to your computer and start holding volume up at the same time
4a. (At this point there are 2 ways, I recommend trying the first one first)
Open lglaf-develop folder and open a Powershell / cmd line
Make sure the path at the top is the folder directly leading to the lglaf.py file
(Shift Key + right mouse) and type: "python lglaf.py" then hit ENTER
If it says python is not recognized
4b. Open a normal command prompt and type "where python"
Copy the path (except for the /python.exe at the end)
Go to lglaf.py > open with > find another app > paste in path and select the python.exe file and click open
5. Type "!SABS 0" or "!SABS 1" to switch between A/B slots. You will have to test to see which one your in, no harm can be done by switching to already active slot.
6.Type "!CTRL POFF"
7.Type "exit"
The device will power off after you unplug the USB cable.
Don't worry if it takes a very long time to boot up - just hold power button for like 10 seconds and wait
Important: everytime you want to update, switch to the PIE slot so that the other slot gets updated and you have an official version to revert to.
Wait we can actually flash the android 10 beta? on the US sprint version 0o, how? i thought android 10 beta was for korean version only.

This is a quick update for those that were running the "hacked" version of android 10 ota. I was able to follow the rollback guid mentioned in the original post and it does work. The only real pain was having to enter the failed pw 30 times to get the device to wipe itself and android 9 to boot.

You could have entered recovery mode and just factory reset from there. That's what I did.

I don't believe a factory reset will downgrade the OS back to 9 from 10. Just merely wipes the data.

I meant that after rolling-back to Pie, you could have entered recovery mode to wipe your data instead of entering the wrong secure start-up code 30 times.

You can revert back to pie using this but if you receive another ota after the initial Android 10 update then both slots will be in 10. But I don't see why you would want to

Hi guys, was trying to change slots (was following BrandonB1218's bootloader unlock guide) and tried the above method using python to change slots but phone won't start after I disconnected it from the USB cable following above steps. If switching slots was successful I should have gone to slot B which had v50 eng bootloader and a few Pie partitions as instructed in BrandonB1218's guide.
I have tried holding power button for up to 10 minutes, held power + volume down button for a few minutes, tried plugging in the phone while holding volume up and plugging in the phone while holding volume down button but the phone is dead. It was fully charged at the time it powered off when I disconnected it after the '!CTRL POFF' command. Powershell screenshot is attached. Thanks.

Nope, coudn't figure it out but I think the phone stopped charging so it wouldn't enter EDL mode anymore. I ended up selling it on eBay for parts.

Hello, recently just bought a ROG Phone 2 Tencent Edition from Ebay, when the device came everything was great. However i noticed that online it said that an update had come out which allows support for airtrigger sliding functions. Mine however did not have this. I went to the settings in order to try and update it, but it said that there was no update. So i then went ahead and downloaded an update form asus's website in an attemp to manually update it. But for whatever reason it said that the update was unsuccsessfull or something like that, and that it failed. I checked online and it said my finger print was still on CN however using device hw info it says im on "WW" fingerprint. My software version is 198.12. Please help!

Ah sorry, misread your post. Just download the 1910.44 raw rom from the second link and extract to the root of C drive, remove the original zip file from the folder you extracted and then run flashall_AFT.cmd with the phone in fastboot mode (hold volume up and power together until you set a menu, that's fastboot mode) . It will take about 5 to 10 minutes to complete then the phone will restart. You will not lose any data... Good luck

Well, up until 1910.44, we were able to just download the updates from asus and put them in the root of internal storage... But this changed for many users with the .44 update, so I'm not sure... We'll have to see how the next update goes, but yeah, it'll either be through download of ota or by flashing raw rom... Either way it'll be posted here by someone. Won't be long to wait as China versions already have update .52 update, WW comes shortly after
Hi there I am in a similar situation with a tencent rog 2 purchased on ebay that is on android 9 WW version. Is it possible to flash WW_ZS660KL_17.0240.2107.100_M3.23.44.20-ASUS_1.1.232_Phone-user.raw to get to android 10 immediately? I have attempted it just now but it appears the flashall_AFT.cmd is stuck and i have waited around 20 minutes.
edit: I waited an hour and nothing seemed to happen. so I restarted the phone and it seems like nothing happened at all. Any ideas?

ZTE used to post their OTA images on the Germany Site (ztedevices.de), however they now post these on the somewhat global official site:
Download link: https://ztedevices.com/en-eu/support/select-product/axon-10-pro/
(Select Germany, then download "From Android 10 to Android 11")
Just like installing OTAs before, unpack the zip file, copy the "update.zip" to the phone, then goto Settings--System and Update--System Update, Install the zip, reboot and you're done.
New features and fixes:
--1.Fixed transition animation when opening apps (As in 9 or 10, just the "square" animation) and swiping back to home page.
--2.App Drawer background is now pure white, the text is black just like Pixel Launcher does.
(The Launcher still doesn't change a lot (but CN version does), same Wallpaper and WallpaperPicker, but fixed changing size problems of some widgets)
--3.New notifications page and Settings. Reduced the gap between two signal meters (if you have two sim cards then you will notice)
--4.New lock screen settings and always-on display, fixed color temprature changing.
--5.Have two dial pad tones (DTMF and piano), four screen locking sounds.
--6.Screen-edge mistouch prevention and quick waking up GAssistant by pressing the power button.
Screenshots are below, transition animation demo:

Same problem here. Does anyone know a way to flash a complete ROM without having the bootloader unlocked? Can I use EDL? I even have a working Axon 10 with Android 11 firmware. But I do not know how to flash via EDL.
Any chance this will work on the now forgotten US version?
I am unable to perform the update coming from 2.9 :-(

Seems like it's unable to upgrade from 2.9, and I didn't notice there's even a 2.9 package. I upgraded from 2.8 successfully, maybe you should use OTA or MiFlash to downgrade to 2.8 and perform another upgrade.
Besides, the rollback package for this version seems useless, so if you want to rollback, you have to use MiFlash and the EDL packages to reset to V1.6 or later.

Thanks for the reply. I'm sad. The Axon 10 is a perfect design and piece of hardware. I also had an Axon 7 before, so I have 4-5 years of experience in ZTE software support and I can say it may be the worst in the planet. In the end, I decided to switch to Pixel 6. It was very well priced with Bose headphones, although not Bose is my favorite, but a good name and quality, right?

Exactly. The reason I use this phone is that this was gifted by one of my relatives when I graduated from high school. If there was a chance, I would possibly choose OnePlus or Xiaomi. Thanks to XDA, there are still some chances to customize my phone.
Hi there, I just downloaded and unzipped the file to the root but it doesn't show up when I look for an update, do I need to unlock the bootloader? I'm from Mexico
The only deference between G and U version is the modem.
If we can extract the modem from your phone maibe we can flash G ROM to USA version.
I did that in Axon 7 .worked great.
So I need some instructions how to that.
If anyone can help would be great.

Link to EDL: A2020G_PRO_V2.1 android 10 EU_FULL_EDL.rar — Yandex.Disk.
Ty to dimkin_76 and djkuz
** stay whit the G modem!!!!
Restart the phone. You will have WI FI. You will get system update to V 2.8. take it.
After you have the V2.8 , then get the android 11 SD card update.
Download the SD card update to android 11 From this post, ty to Willwongprd:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/news-eu-a2020g-android-11-r-update.4338393/
download link:
https://oss.ztedevices.com/prod/cn/...ware(414360B1331MyOS11.3.4_A2020GPro_EEA).zip
make the update.
Restart the phone and you have the android 11 MYOS on your phone but whit G modem.
Now its time to flush U modem.
Download the U full EDL image from hear: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=17248734326145680432
Ty to bobthenormal.
Extract the file and copy the MODEM .BIN file to another library .
Rename the MODEM.BIN , twice to: NON-HLOS.bin AND NON-HLOSb.bin.
To flush the modem I used this tool: Axon 10 EDL Tool 3.2.5 from this treed:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ash-backup-restore-bootloader-unlock.3964605/
( There is another tool but it didn’t worked for me.)
Put the 2 modem files you renamed in the flush/modem library in the Axon 10 EDL Tool 3.2.5 folder.
Connect the phone to computer and activate the program and choose flus the modem. It take me some time until the program worked for me but finaly it did.
After the modem flush you will have ex U variant phone whit android 11..
Good luck….
Ty to all for the hard job to keep your AXON 10 PRO alive…
Chears…
I'd appreciate it someone could provide instructions for a numpty, in a manner that the numpty (myself) can understand.
I unlocked the Bootloader on my Asus Zenfone 8 with a view to flash the stable version of Android 12.
My mistake was not having enough skill to 1. Flash Android 12 and 2 relock the Bootloader. I unlocked the Bootloader by using the official method from the Asus site.
Oh yes, I also retrospectively realised that I lost the ability to use Google Pay and Netflix. Oh, and I may not gain any OTA updates as well.
I've read and re-read countless articles and tried to follow many "how to's" but not being successful ... to me, it seems I'm missing a common sense step that everyone knows so well, that they feel doesn't need to be included in the how to's.
So I'm seeking a fool proof step by step guide for numpties (me) or someone who could step me through it
via DM.
I'm pretty much at the point to pay someone to assist me and sort out my Zenfone with Android 12 and a relocked bootloader.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Follow the steps to revert back to Android 11 at the bottom of the page. This does not require an open bootloader https://www.asus.com/Content/Android-12-Beta/
You will then be able to place the latest update firmware on the phone with a computer. From that it will detect the update files and start the procedure.

Hi Adaoh,
Thank you for the suggestion, but I have another query, before I proceed.
The link provided refers to the Android 11 version WW-30.11.51.115 but the stable version Android 12 version WW-31.1004.0404.81 states on the Asus website that it will only update to this version from Android 11 version WW-30.12.112.72
The Android 12 version referred to in the link provided is WW-31.0803.0403.54 a beta version which is older than the stable Android 12 mentioned above.
Are you aware of a Android 11 version WW-30.12.112.72 image file that can be utilised? I've not found one.
And my bootloader is already unlocked (referring to your comment that this does not require an open bootloader) so I would be seeking step by step instructions how to relock.
I'm keen to update to the Stable Android 12 version as I've read I may not receive any OTA updates, and so in my mind, a stable newer version of Android 12 is superior to an older beta version of Android 12.
Thoughts please?
Thanks for your input.

Hi, I do not think that there is a script provided like in the Back to Android11 link I gave you. I have used this method to recover my phone from a boot loop, so I think that the OS version does not matter but I am not sure, it is not impossible that it would brick the phone...
if you are still on A11, I did this script when I was on the latest Android 11 build and it reverted me to the old one in the script. So in my opinion it will be fine for whatever the condition of your phone are.
After this script, since you will not have OTA updates because your phone is blacklisted from Asus' servers, you will need to flash the last Android11 (from my understanding) and then once that's done flash a12.
Flashing updates is very simple, just do the last steps I gave in the original post

Hi Adaoh,
So what you're saying is to follow this link and take me to an older Android 11 version but then flash the most recent Android 11 version, then flash Android 12?
Question for you that has stumped me .... most people on forums and websites quickly gloss over flashing of an Operating System but don't actually go through the exact every step .... are you able to assist here please?
Again, as per the start of my post, I'm the numpty and happy to admit that, but do need to know comprehensively each and every step.
Thank you in advance,

Updating from an update fileOk, so to update your phone when you can't receive OTAs:
Download the version that you need from the Asus Zenfone 8 Support page
Plug in your phone to your computer, make sure the computer is trusted and that you can transfer files from the PC to the phone.
Move the zip file of the update in the base directory of the phone (The same directory as Alarms, Downloads, etc).
Wait for the transfer to finish, then you can unplug your phone if you want.
Reboot the phone
After the reboot, the phone will take a few seconds/minutes and will notify you that an update file was found, select the option to update the phone
It will then extract the update and install it all by itself, the normal update procedure starts from there
Flashing the Stock ROM (Android 11)Note: doing this will remove any data on your phone, back it up if it is important to youThis also works if your phone is stuck in a bootloop or other problems of the sortIf your question was about the flashing of Android 11 from the Android12 page with the older version, the instructions on the page at the bottom should be enough, but I can try to make them clearer.
Turn off the phone
When the phone is off, press and hold the Volume Up key and the Power button until a screen pops up.
If the phone boots to Android, shut it back off, but this time try lifting the Power button before the Volume Up key, because the power button is like an Enter key, it will take it as if you clicked "yes, continue to android".
Plug the phone in your computer
Decompress the zip file on your computer
Execute the script file that is made for your computer
Windows: update_image.bat
Ubuntu: update_image.sh
MacOS: update_image_for_mac.sh
Wait for the process to finish, it'll take a while. You'll know it is done when the window that openned when you executed one of the script files says something along the lines of "Flashing done, press Enter to reboot"
I hope this helps!

Hi $cronos_,
I got the Zenfone 8 into recovery mode and connected to the PC and initiated a Windows Powershell and typed the following to confirm the PC could find the Zenfone 8.
PS C:\Users\roma_\OneDrive\Desktop\platform-tools> fastboot devices
M4AIB7626606MH7 fastboot
So it found the Zenfone 8
When I tried to Lock the Bootloader I got the following:
PS C:\Users\roma_\OneDrive\Desktop\platform-tools> fastboot oem lock
...
FAILED (remote: Command not supported in default implementation)
finished. total time: 0.005s
And tried your suggested command:
PS C:\Users\roma_\OneDrive\Desktop\platform-tools> fastboot flashing lock
...
FAILED (remote: Unrecognized command flashing lock)
finished. total time: 0.005s
Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong please?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I had the same problem as you, couldn't use Google pay.
All I did was open powershell and use the following command.
fastboot oem asus-csc_lk
Now it's relocked and works as before.
Hope this helps you.

Hi,
Sorry I forgot to mention that I had followed the steps on the official Asus website to revert back to android 11 before I had run the command, as I wanted Google pay back.
fastboot oem asus-csc_lk
I hadn't tried to relock bootloader with Android 12 installed.
I did see in somewhere on line that the device requires factory reset after command is used. Also you could try some of these codes from following link.
hope you get it sorted.

Relock the Bootloader?
I know asking this question at a very early point would be very foolish, I tried searching various places for the answer but didn't, can anyone from previous experience or with answer tell me how can the Bootloader be locked again? Thanks in...

Hi Craig
That is a good point you raise ..... and believe where I may have stuffed up was not flashing the device back down to Android 11 (currently it has the Stable Android 12). I am presuming this step would wipe the Official Asus Unlock Device App which was downloaded originally, which of course unlocked the bootloader?
Steps taken today:
1. Downloaded the Zipped Android 11 Image and unzipped on the PC.c
2. Put the Zenfone 8 into Fastboot Mode and opened up CMD powershell to confirm it was in Fastboot mode
PS C:\Users\roma_\OneDrive\Desktop\WW-ZS590KS-30.11.51.115-MR0-user_20210826-release\WW-ZS590KS-30.11.51.115-MR0-user_20210826-release_for_google> fastboot devices
M4AIB7626606MH7 fastboot
PS C:\Users\roma_\OneDrive\Desktop\WW-ZS590KS-30.11.51.115-MR0-user_20210826-release\WW-ZS590KS-30.11.51.115-MR0-user_20210826-release_for_google>
3. In the Unzipped Android 11 image found the windows update_image (I checked properties to confirm this was the Windows Batch File (.bat)
4. Right clicked, Run as Administrator.
5. I got this ....
fastboot cmd : fastboot
The script can't be used in this devices,hwid=,project=project FAILED (remote
Press any key to continue . . .
I am so missing something here, no doubt something really simple, but something really frustrating lol.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thank you!
Thomas
Hi,
I had done exactly as you have described.
Downloaded zip android 11
Unzipped and just double clicked on bat file whilst phone in fastboot.
Afterwards ran that command after rebooting phone back into fastboot.
Im sorry I can't be of anymore help I can't see why yours is not working the same.

Hi Craig,
Thank you and good to know I was following the directions.
Got me stumped, but I'll keep at it.
The only thing I am curious about is the unzipped file is in the desktop of my laptop (easy to find) but the desktop is set to back up to OneDrive .....I wondered if that could cause a problem (outside the limits of my ability)?
Thanks again for your input.
