Unlocking Bootloader
Asus has stopped the official maintenance of older devices. So, it's impossible to unlock the bootloader with the official app anymore. |
How to enter flash mode
- Recovery: Power on the device with both
Power
andVolume Down
buttons. - Stock fastboot: Power on the device with both
Power
andVolume Up
buttons. You only need this to install lk2nd. - lk2nd Fastboot: Power on the device. After it vibrates/the display shows up, hold
Volume Down
.
Note: Pressing the keys too early will cause the stock bootloader to handle the key combination. You will end up in the wrong Fastboot interface. |
WLAN/BT module does not work?
WARNING: It worked on author's device but be careful to use it on your own. |
If your device does not have wlan module (not shown in ifconfig
, for example), then your dmesg
output probably contains something like:
qcom-wcnss-pil a204000.remoteproc: error -22 initializing firmware wcnss.mdt
remoteproc remoteproc1: Failed to load program segments: -22
It means that firmware files, that are on your device (/dev/mmcblk0p39), different with files required. It can be fixed easily:
- unmount /lib/firmware/msm-firmware-loader/mnt/modem
- unmount /lib/firmware/msm-firmware-loader
- mount /dev/mmcblk0p39 to /mnt (for example)
- backup your /mnt/image/wcnss.* because we will overwrite it
- copy firmware files from here (files I found through browsing...) to your /mnt/image
So, now you have different firmware files. After rebooting, if everything is OK, you will have working WiFi and BT.
Installation
- Install lk2nd (alternative bootloader that provides a standard fastboot interface)
- Follow Qualcomm_Snapdragon_410/412_(MSM8916)#Installation.
Status
Runs on mainline kernel
Works: USB Network, WiFi, Bluetooth, Display, Touchscreen, Volume buttons, Hall Effect Sensor, Accelerometer, Magnetometer, Notification Lights Audio (Headphones, Earpiece, Speaker, MIC), Voice calls (VoLTE not supported), SMS, Mobile Internet
