How to start the hardware tests on an ASUS Zenfone 8
For testing the hardware of the ASUS Zenfone 8 the hardware test app can be used. The hardware test app is installed by default in the Android from ASUS but there is no Icon to start it .
The "official" method to start the hardware tests on the ASUS Zenfone 8 is :
Start the Calculator App and enter ".12345+=" (or ",12345+=" depending on your country settings).
But it's also possible to start the hardware tests without using the calculator. For this open a shell on the phone (either direct on the phone or via adb) and execute the command:
Code:
am start -n com.asus.atd.smmitest/com.asus.atd.smmitest.main.MAIN
Note that this only works if the Android from ASUS is running on the Zenfone 8.

WELL I KNOW THIS IS AN EARLY STAGE OF ASUS ZENFONE 4 DEVELOPMENT AND THIS TUTORIAL MIGHT NOT BE USEFUL FOR NOW, BUT WHO KNOWS, THE ZENFONE 4 in THE FUTURE MAY OR MAY NOT GET DEVELOPMENT
SO EVERYTHING HERE IS JUST A PREVENTION OF LOSING imei/Radio OF THE ZENFONE 4, so after you cook a custom rom or do something which corrupts the imei/baseband, just take a backup and save it somewhere safe in your PC or CLOUD
SO ALL YOU HAVE TO DO TO HAVE A BACKUP OF YOUR imei NUMBER IS TO just type some lines in the keyboard
NOTICE:::::::****ROOT IS REQUIRED FOR THIS TO WORK****:::::
Instructions for backup
1. Download terminal emulator from GOOGLE PLAY STORE
2.Open terminal emulator and type
Code:
su
and press enter
3.You will be prompted to grant superuser permissions, select grant(This will work only if you have root)
4.Now type
Code:
dd if=dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=sdcard/mmcblk0p3.img
now press enter and wait till some long texts appear.
5.Open file manager and goto internal storage and check if there is a file with the name
mmcblk0p3.img [Its size is about 21MB] now keep that file in some safe place where it wont get deleted
Instructions for restore imei
1.Open terminal emulator and type
Code:
su
and press enter
2.Now type
Code:
dd if=sdcard/mmcblk0p3.img of=dev/block/mmcblk0p3
now press enter and wait till some long texts appear.
DONE!!!!!

Sorry man, IMEI is unique for device, if you lost your IMEI is necessary send a phone to asus assistance.
I took mine from here since I lost mine.

Alright so I have an Acer Aspire V5-573P-6896
It's got a Core i5, 8gb ram, 250GB SSD, Intel HD 4400 graphics yadayada...
I have a question though, I tried installing Xposed on it but it stopped booting, just started bootloopoing. Is there a reason why or... Is it that it doesn't support the Android X86 rom itself?
This is a bone stock google android from source as far as I see. Nothing's been modified. 4.4.4 KitKat, not lollipop. Soo.... Wurf? Wasn't X86 supported?
X86 support is poor. Some Asus ZenFone (powered by x86) users also have some problems and there is workaround for it. I think this needs to be fixed for next version also.

Root MUST be done. USB debug turned on. Windows only and Driver for Intel and ASUS must be ready on PC.
Step1: download xposed apk and install the apk. DO NOT RUN APP AND DO NOT INSTALL FRAMEWORK.
Step2: Rn command promt (Run / cmd). assume adb folder is on C:\ drive and you are now in C:\ADB
Step 3: Type following (or copy and paste)
adb devices (make sure your phone show!)
adb shell (hit Enter)
su (hit Enter, then look on your phone and touch OK)
echo 148 > /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/jit_reset_offset (hit Enter)
chmod 664 /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/jit_reset_offset (hit Enter)
Step4: Now go to app drawer and run Xposed which you installed earlier. Touch "Framework" and touch "Install/Update"
DONE. Now install addons.

As long as your laptop covers the standard Intel platform it'll work.
Non-standard would include something like an Nvidia 860m (but event hen I think it'd work.)
Stuff like that.
Everything should work for the most part.
No wifi on HP Mini 110-1212NR

I installed the x86 package on my HP Mini and I lost my WiFi and Bluetooth. Neither one will turn on with the toggles. Does anyone know a fix for this?

thnx :good:
After long fight I managed to repair lost IMEI after changing roms and accidentally formatting ESP partition.
Prerequisites:
1. ROOT
2. Intel Phone Tool 191
3. Windows with ADB installed and android USB drivers
To make things short:
1. need root on tablet
2. turn on ADB debugging
3. connect tablet to Windows PC (I used Windows 10)
4. run "cmd"
5. type "adb shell"
6. type "su" (root is obligatory)
7. type "setprop system.at-proxy.mode 1" -> source http://lenovo-forums.ru/topic/22471...-planshetah-yoga-2bez-nalichiya-bekapov-i-tp/
7a - this actually makes your device discoverable by Windows as Virtual Com port and this is needed for Intel Phone Tool 191 to connect
7b - you need to set Virtual Com Port as COM1
8. Once connected in Intel Phone Tool go to Modes -> Security
9. Change IMEI in all places necessary
10. Reboot and BE HAPPY AGAIN!
Hope this helps somebody and he won't loose so many time on this problem as I did.

Any idea where to get "Intel Phone Tool"? I guess you meant different thing then Intel Phone Flash Tool, did you?
Hmm... It was really hard to find, that is true. I will try to find it and share... Stand by....
Edit: It was easy, I still got it.

help?
Hi everybody,
I'm looking to upgrade my Zenfone 4 max ZC520KL with LineageOS.
I have already looked for a lot of information, I have already seen Sebabuntu's page on XDA, among others.
But, I can't seem to unlock the bootloader ..
Apparently I don't have the permissions to do this.
In the terminal (I'm on Linux Mint) I crash on this:
fastboot devices
no permissions (user in plugdev group; are your udev rules wrong?); see [http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html] fastboot
Could someone help me get past this problem?
I have two phones. One is Asus ZenFone Laser 2, second is rooted redmi 4 pro. I want to flash twrp and supersu to Zenfone through redmi 4 pro. But redmi doesn't see Asus. Adb devices list is empty. What should I do and is this even possible? Thanks.
A straight Type C to Type C may not know how to negotiate correctly.
Try using an OTG adapter and an A to C cable.
