Building and installing
There are multiple installation methods for your Asus Zenfone 2 Laser/Selfie (1080p). They all rely on flashing one or more partitions on your device.
Warning
|
All installation methods can lead to data loss. Flashing a partition will erase everything on the partition. Additionally,
the common backups methods, e.g. TWRP, will not backup the Make backups. |
Using Fastboot
This will produce a folder with a flashing script, and the partition images for your Asus Zenfone 2 Laser/Selfie (1080p).
$ nix-build --argstr device asus-z00t -A build.android-fastboot-images
Alternatively, you can build a specific partition image:
$ nix-build --argstr device asus-z00t -A build.android-bootimg $ nix-build --argstr device asus-z00t -A build.rootfs
The device will need to be booted in its bootloader, or fastboot
, mode.
The boot images can be installed using the following command, assuming the
android-fastboot-images
output was used.
$ result/flash-critical.sh
If you have a system image (system.img
) built, you can use fastboot
to
flash it to the device. Note that it might be too big to fit over the system
partition. In such case, it can be flashed on the userdata
partition.
$ fastboot flash userdata system.img
Using a flashable zip
An alternative installation method is to use a flashable zip. The flashable zip can be built for your Asus Zenfone 2 Laser/Selfie (1080p) using one of the following commands:
$ nix-build --argstr device asus-z00t -A build.android-flashable-bootimg $ nix-build --argstr device asus-z00t -A build.android-flashable-system $ nix-build --argstr device asus-z00t -A build.android-flashable-zip
The first two will flash only a specific partition. The last one contains the partitions of the two previous one.
The zip can either be copied to the device and selected in a compatible
Android recovery, or sent to the device through adb sideload
.
$ adb sideload /nix/store/eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-flashable-asus-z00t-boot.zip
By default it will flash to the system
partition. Some configurations may
change this to flash to the userdata
partition. In that case, no warning is
given before flashing.
