You also flashed boot.img, yes? And did factory reset after?

Hey,

I got mine a couple of days back, But for what ever reason the Sim 1 wasn't being detected... is there any method by which I can check for this being a software issue or a hardware issue!

Sku is CN
Rom is stock (old) WW
I am following this Tutorial in hopes that it solves my issue but would appreciate insight from a more knowledgeable point of view!

I rooted my phone by following your method but the latest ROM I downloaded was CN version and without Play Store and Google Support. Can you tell which ROM in the stock is WW version with Root. Thanks.

Hello, man. Download the WW version and follow the same process. It's in the ROM link. I assume you have Z00A (551ML). If you have more problems, just let me know.

Please make a tutorial video. It becomes difficult as some steps are confusing. And this will be a first in the development of ASUS Zenfone 2. I am owning a Ze551ml with 4 GB RAM.

I want to make sure that I follow each step like it used to.

Please help.
