Unlocked bootloader Android 6 - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So say install stock asop Android 6 with Gapps on Asus zenfone 2 with an unlocked bootloader. What has happened to any of all you with your device? Was the os bootlooped or any other issues I need to beware of?

You can say goodbye to your phone...
Marshmallow isn't ready for the Zenfone 2 yet, it has an Intel X86 processor in it, most other phones use ARM...
Do it and you will have a brick...

Actually there is AOSP build of Android 6.0 for this device,
you can find it at http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/development/rom-android-surce-project-t3287218
and if stock meant google stock aosp build then i agree with you.
i have not used it so cant say how stable/usable it is atm, however there is also cm13 build as well

Thread closed per OP request.

Marshmallow

Would it be possible to create a Marshmallow Rom from scratch like they did for the OPO for example? Since we unofficially have 5.1.1, shouldn't it be the same process to get 6.0 or do we need some stuff from asus since it's a "real" new version ? Was just wondering.
not another marshmallow thread

Yeah, I saw that before posting but we know that if it happens, it's going to be in a while.I'm talking about an AOSP version made from scratch not the official version from Asus. I looked it up and apparently, we need the x86 intel sources for 6.0 to make it work so it seems to be impossible so far. Thanks for the reply thought.

OnePlus 3 Cm 14

Now here OnePlus gets an CyanogenMod Rom 14 based on Android N officially and you can flash it. In news we came to know that OnePlus would be giving an update at the end of the year to Android N 7.0/7.1 .
OnePlus earlier combined both Hydrogen OS and Oxygen Os and it was an good decision.
The provided Rom by Cyanogen plays very well with the phone but it might some time disappoint you but we did not notice that happening. Man..y users demanded to the faster update to Android N and many are still waiting but now you can download the ROM and use it. Doest it work fine?

64-Bit Pie?

So I'll start this off by saying I haven't used the official version of Pie, due to having an unlocked bootloader, and can't find a download so I can install manually. But here's my question:
I know the G6 Play supports 64-Bit, so are any of the Pie ROMs available on this phone 64-Bit? I'm currently using the Descendant GSI, and its 32. I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of a 64-Bit version of Pie, if one even exists.

There is no 64bit rom available unfortunately. It would require someone building a rom specifically for our device compared to a gsi image. One can exist if someone decides to build a rom that is able to use the 64bit architecture but that alone would be a hassle not including already building one for the device in general. before this device got it's own forum this question was asked and answered way better than I can answer it lol
there's no relations between having an unlocked bootloader and not updating to pie, just as a note. as long as your phone is on stock stat, with no modifications, just go and upgrade.

Technical rom question

Is it technically possible to make a custom android 10 or android 11 rom for this phone?
Technically possible? Maybe? Will it be able to even run it decently? Probably not. This device is nearly 7-8 years old, it wouldn't be worth the hassle for the performance you'd get

If you are looking for something newer check out the LG V20 or V30 as they should be able to run a custom Android 10 or 11 Rom.

Question Downgrade?

Hello, am new to pixel device... My previous device was Xiaomi Mi 11 , my device carne with A13 !my question is there any way to downgrade to A12 I want to flash derfest A12 my fav ROM .. thx in advance
Hello, welcome to Pixel land.
First, in order to flash a factory image, you'd have to unlock your bootloader. If you don't know already, click the yellow How To Guide quick filter at the top of the list of threads in this section and you'll find 3-4 threads that tell how. I also have a link in my signature below - you can use the link for the Pixel 7 Pro - the instructions to unlock the bootloader are the same, and the OP of my Pixel 7 Pro thread is much better organized than my one for the Pixel 6 Pro, in my opinion.
After that, the only way you can downgrade (and have everything working, and not brick your phone is to use one of the two Android 12 Developer Support images for Pixel. There's an Android 12.0 build from February and an Android 12.1 build from July. They will never receive updates, however.
You can always manually flash a Pixel 6 Pro stable Factory Image to re-upgrade at a later date, or use the Official Google Android Flash Tool (OEM Unlocking needs to be toggled on - you may not have to manually unlock the bootloader - the "site" will do that on its own) to re-upgrade.
Any of the stable Android 12 builds at that factory image link should not be flashed because the Android 13 bootloader cannot be downgraded to an Android 12 bootloader, and if you flash everything from 12 Stable but the bootloader, it'll appear to work at first, but it truly won't work correctly - it will not be useable.
If you unlock the bootloader, you should also make sure the Android 13 bootloader is flashed to your inactive slot as well, to avoid the possibility of accidentally bricking your new phone.
Thanks for the fast reply sir much appreciated .. I got the idea ... My device stock unlocked and rooted .. now my question is if I flashed the July A12.1 developer ... Can I flash custom ROM based on A12.1 like derpfest etc ... Sorry I mixed up things here little harder than xiaomi

You're welcome. I don't fool around with custom ROMs except on my 6-year-old or more phones, so I can't answer that question. Part of the best things about having Pixels is the software features Google starts off exclusively on the Pixel stock ROMs.
