The phone is Asus Zenfone 3 ZE553KL. The screen is black and touch is not working. The phone is locked with a pattern. Power, volume buttons and navigation bar at the bottom work. Is there any way to connect the device to a computer without replacing the screen? I've read it is possible to connect the phone to external monitor and a mouse, but is there any adapter for usb-c 2.0 otg allowing to display the screen on external monitor? Besides to use OTG it seems it has to be accepted on the touchscreen beforehand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_88baLPHdxo . The phone wasn't rooted and no custom modifications were done to it.

I am using Asus Zenfone 3 ZE552KL, it got hang and then i tried to restart the phone but it get stucked in, Also I can't get in to recovery using standard method. Generally I keep USB debugging mode off that's why my device not listed in adb devices list but, i can go into CSC Fastboot mode. Text in the image. csc fastboot mode!!! long time press power button to restart I tried below solutions 1. Used Asus Flash tool as per its help doc the process takes 10 to 15min but i wait around more than 2 hours it shows "Uploading OS Version" 2. I downloaded Firmware zip file from asus official site, but in zip file only boot.img is present other two requried files are missing recovery.img and fastboot.img Kindly suggest me some workaround.

We are trying to build an app which scan nearby Bluetooth devices and shows on the UI, we also have event listener which detects whenever location or bluetooth state is changed and accordingly we start the Bluetooth scan, we also make sure no more then 5 bleScan happens within 30 seconds. Now heres the problem, This app works fine for phones like Nokia, Asus etc, but for one plus what we have noticed is, whenever we are in background, and we disabled and enabled bluetooth, it dosent start the scan(in the code it reaching but no errors are been thrown) nor it throws error in onScanFailed callback, we didnt see this behavior in other phone so it dosnet work if the setting is the following but if we make the location "Allow all the time" , then it works perfectly My question is who is doing it properly one plus or other phones? Am i missing some additional settings for one plus. please help

I am trying to dump the emmc of my Zenfone ze552kl. The bootloader is locked. I tried to dump the emmc from edl mode but it required a programmer to do so and none of the programmers I found online worked. Some of the programmers just didn't work and some rebooted the device. I can access fastboot and adb when I use "fastboot oem adb_enable". Is there any way for me to dump the emmc of this device without unlocking the bootloader? Or is there a way to unlock the bootloader without wiping on this device?

tried unlocking using official APK as well as the unofficial . https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3/how-to/zenfone-3-ze520kl-ze552kl-unofficial-t3738811 https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/zenfone3/install I guess bootloader is not unlocked, although it said unlocked. Any other way to unlock the bootloader or troubleshoot the unlock

My goal is to backup save data of two games from my older phone, which I succeeded, and to restore them to my new phone where I have Lineage 16.0 installed. I used the command : adb backup -apk nameoftheapp.com and then adb restore backup.ab But as soon as I type the second command and enter the backup password on the new telephone a dialog appears with "Restoration ended". Is there a workaround/a way to troubleshoot the issue? Thanks a lot!!

I was using the latest build for my device: Aex Pie. https://downloads.aospextended.com/Z010D It has a bug : while we try to reboot it will get stuck in black screen same with power off. The developer who made this rom don't know how to fix that The only solution I found is this : For reboot = Press power button ~5 sec For Recovery = Press power button ~5 sec when vibration comes then press volume down button when asus logo comes then release power button only. They say its EDL bug which is something gone wrong in kernel source. Device descriptions are given below Device : Asus Zenfone Max ZC550KL " class="img-fluid rounded" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto; margin: 10px 0;" loading="lazy"> " class="img-fluid rounded" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto; margin: 10px 0;" loading="lazy"> " class="img-fluid rounded" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto; margin: 10px 0;" loading="lazy"> (Tap to enlarge)

Is there an app or settings (asus zenfone zoom) to change all my default save directory to one folder. This folder will be the "inbox" of my phone.

Hey guys so I have encountered this problem multiple times. Followed this thread for unlocking bootloader and initiating root: http://www.symbianize.com/showthread.php?t=1411778 so far I went up to unlocking bootloader successfully without any hindrances but to my dismay after unlocking bootloader, adb won't recognize my device and can't proceed to flash TWRP. Tried rebooting to fastboot and typing in cmd adb reboot bootloader but did not proceed because as I said the device isn't recognized. Using windows 8 64-bit. Device is Asus zenfone 3 max variant 5.5 (zc553kl) updated to latest firmware nougat 7.1.1 I have usb and adb drivers installed, but the device doesn't even show up in the device manager, so adb reboot bootloader didn't find anything to reboot. Any advice would be helpful. Thank you!

So here is what happened in this order: 1. I unlocked the phone with an bootloader unlocking tool. 2. I booted the phone into fastboot. 3. I flashed an image of TWRP and rebooted. 4. When the phone loaded TWRP, the screen display is upsidedown. Complete 180. The touch sensors are the correct direction, so nothing is lined up. 5. I tried to flash the Stock.img and it loaded back into TWRP. 6. I tried resetting the phone to factory default from TWRP and it loaded back into TWRP. 7. I tried clicking on lots of buttons, and probably broke something terribly, but because I panicked, I stopped keeping track of my steps. 8. ADB now says that my phone is running in "recovery" so I don't know if I still have options. Do I need to find a different stock image? I didn't have time to make one before this all happened, so I would need a download. Do I have any options? I know that being in TWRP means that the phone isn't BRICKED, but I am just about knowledged out, so its bricked to me. :/ help?

I have my SIM card set to block the number I'm calling from when calling out. I need this due to work. What is annoying is that some contacts I need to get a hold of will usually not pick up "Unknown numbers" that call, requiring me to leave a message. I know if I turn my Call ID back on, they pick up right away. **I understand this behaviour, and I do it as well**. My issue is that on my phone, I have to go through 5 menus before my number is unblocked, then back to the main Phone screen, then make the call, then back to those 5 screens to turn the blocking back on. I know I can block *per call*, but then I need to remember to turn this on. Is there an easy way I can quickly enable/disable the Call Block setting? I'm on an Asus ZenFone 3 on the Telus network (purchased through 3rd party supplier, not from Telus directly)

How can I root an **Asus Zenfone 3 Max**?
(Note that "Asus Zenfone 3 *Zoom*" and "Asus Zenfone 3 *Laser*" is **not** the device I am asking about) I have tried using the official KingoRoot app to no avail (it says "Root Failed - Error 0x11CA2E") Here are the device specification: Build Number: MRA58K.US_Phone-13.1.4.69-20170414 Model Number: ASUS_X008DC Android Version: 6.0 Android security patch level: April 5, 2017 Baseband version: MOLY.LR9.W1444.MD.LWTG.MP.V88.P71.2017/04/14 02:39 Kernel version: 3.8.19+ wind-kernel@droid #1 Fri Apr 14 03:01:04 EDT 2017 --- This device is not on the list at https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/1184/how-do-i-root-my-android-device **EDIT**: It is now linked to this page

I have a new Asus Zenfone 3 I bought back in February. I'm having issues getting my bluetooth devices to automatically start playing when paired. With all my previous phones, I can pair the device with bluetooth speakers (i.e. car stereo or portable speaker), press the **Play** button on the bluetooth device, and the phone would start playing music from the last app. This worked with a Samsung S2, LG G2, OnePlus One, and OnePlus Two. The process should be the same, in my experience. On my Asus phone, I have tried with both Vanilla Music Player (F-Droid App Store) and the Google Play Music app. I have started songs, got to my car, and have it continue playing. If it stops for whatever reason (i.e. a phone call), then I have to fiddle with the phone to get music playing again. My goal is to have my old behaviour without being forced to wipe and root it - connect to a bluetooth speaker, and use the bluetooth's controls for the music app *even if it's not currently running*. The phone is running Android 7.0, phone model number is ASUS_Z012DC
