There are two variants of the Zenfone 3, the ZE520KL and the ZE552KL, differing only in screen panels, batteries, and possibly some sensors unique to each variant. At the time of writing, only the ZE520KL has been tested, but the ZE552KL should also be able to boot the mainline without major issues.

Contributors

Users owning this device

  • Smankusors (Notes: The ZE520KL variant)
  • Tjari (Notes: ZE520KL variant, has ghost touch issue)


How to enter flash mode

Press and hold power button and volume up together

Installation

TODO, but in a nutshell, flash lk2nd, and flash postmarketOS to the sdcard, and it should boot.

Current issues

  • Camera doesn't work yet
  • No laser distance sensor yet
  • No front led control yet
  • Calls have a sound problem somehow, haven't dig deeper on this yet
  • We have Venus video decode support on mainline kernel, but somehow there's a bottleneck somewhere on the players
  • Battery will not charge to 100%
  • Touchkeys is not working yet, it's missing support on edt-ft5x06 driver
  • Several sensors is not enabled yet (smankusors: I'm currently checking on this)

Serial UART

To obtain bootloader logs on the ZE520KL variant, follow the test points shown in the image below. Note that the UART operates at 1.8V. For kernel version 3.18, set the console to ttyHSL0. For kernel version 4.9 and later, including mainline kernels, set the console to ttyMSM0.

For more information about serial debugging, please read Serial debugging.
