My 501CG is in a bootloop and can't go to recovery.
The device can be detected by adb but I can't sideload anything. I've tried everything I know but couldn't fix it.
I tried to post a screenshot but the forum won't allow me and I can't explain what the problem looks like so I don't know what to do now...
Please help me. Thank you.

Can you go to fastboot? Adb still reconize it then go to ADB and type adb reboot bootloader then try to flash the recovery and factory reset. If the problem still exist after factory reset you will need to look up for system.imgs files for the zenfone 5 and flash the system imgs from fastboot

Thank you so much for helping me.
When I type adb reboot bootloader, it says <waiting for device> and stays that way.
I have a screenshot of the error but I can't post the proper link. Here's a modified version of the link, just replace the <dot> with a period I guess if that would work. That's the only way I can show what happens to the phone.

Sorry, I'm also not very familiar with how adb, fastboot, and whatever else works, but I learn fast and can follow commands.
Well the mmcblk1 partition i think is messed up @dgadelha can you help us with this?
Hey there!
Thanks @ChristopherXI for noticing me.
@Teks0427, can you please try this guide? It will rebuild your partition table and install Android 4.3.
Hope it helps!

Well. Did it work? Have any luck?
I'm so sorry for disappearing all of a sudden like that. I had to attend to a LOT of things and I totally forgot about the phone.
I'm gonna give it a go tonight and post whatever happens here right away.
Thanks guys! I really appreciate the help...
Hi! The phone won't go to droidboot mode. PressingPOWER + VOLUME UP brings me to the Asus bootup screen (sometimes with a black background and sometimes with a blue one) and the words
CSC Mode
long press power key to restart system
And sometimes it's just the normal Asus bootup screen (and gets stuck there). On that CSC mode screen, plugging in the USB and typing "fastboot devices" does nothing
D:\501KL>fastboot devices
Booting up in recovery mode works, and when in the recovery mode menu page, typing "fastboot devices" still does nothing but typing adb devices gets this response:
D:\501KL>adb devices
List of devices attached
051c7013 recovery
D:\501KL>
Running (as administrator) the file sec_offline_update_image.cmd from the recovery menu page gets this response:
D:\501KL>fastboot oem backup_config
< waiting for device >
And it stops there.
Also, when plugging the USB cable to the phone, it starts installing an "MTP USB Device" but always fails after a few minutes.
I already tried bringing the phone to the accredited Asus Zenfone repair center here in the Philippines but they said they don't have the firmware to flash this model. They didn't give any explanation nor did they refer me to anyone else who might know how to fix this thing.

Read his problem carefully.
He has a 500KL not a 500CG.
That guide will not work
Apologies for saying thus but if there are no RAW firmware of the LTE model. It's pretty hopeless

The sec_offline_update_image is for A500CG/A501CG only.
I'm sorry but I do not own an A501KL so I can't help you with that.
And if ASUS can't help you, sue them for that.
Bro You Should change your """Title:501CG Can't mount /cache/recovery/log ... etc"""
Yes, I'm so sorry. I noticed the error in the title just now. I got confused with my 2 Asus phones that I put the wrong model in the title. Stupid stupid me...
I'm so sorry for the mess.
Thank you all for your help...
I guess it will help you...

Hello all,
I really need help for my ZE500KL. In summary, it stucks on ASUS logo and bootloop. I can't get to welcome screen.
It is not rooted, i've never touched to the original system. I got this problem after an update from OTA. The update was not interrupted for information.
I can get to the recovery menu, can do a wipe data/factory reset, but it solves nothing. Same problem.
I've tried :
- apply update from adb but this stops at 46% and failed with an error like E:failed to verify the whole-file signature
- apply update from microSD but it stops and failed without error message
I don't know if there is another way to fix.
Thanks
Bro go to the asus site and download the whole rom nd flash it thru recovery.
M also had a same problem.
So let me know nd which variant u hav?
Thanks for the reply.
When i said "I have apply update", this means that i've downloaded zip file from Asus website, and loaded it via the recovery but the process stops at 46%.
Maybe it will work for a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP but as i know, there is not a working CWM or TWRP for ZE500KL at this time. Maybe.
For me, the stock recovery don't work for loading the zip file from ASUS. It says something like : Unable to verify the whole-file signature, Process failed

If your device stops at logo this means that it boots into fastboot mode. I`ve had a same problem. You can take this adb driver . After installing you need to put in C:\adb file boot.img from archive which you dowloaded from official asus.com, then run cmd.
Code:
cd c:\adb
and last command will be...
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
try it.

I tried. It doesn't work.
I proceed like this :
1- I've booted the device in recovery mode, connect it to PC and uninstall the device and his driver in to the device manager. I do the same in fastboot mode
2- I've installed the 15 seconds adb ver 1.43. As it is recommanded, I force install of drivers to "Android ADB interface" for recovery mode and "Android Bootloader Interface" for fastboot mode. At this time, adb detects the device via "c:\adb> adb devices"
3-I've extracted the "boot.img" from UL-ASUS Z00E-WW-12 8 5 106-user.zip from Asus Website
4-No problem to proceed with "c:\adb> fastboot boot boot.img" BUT that's all.
--> The device boots, passes the ASUS logo with the powered by android at the bottom", arrives to the second ASUS logo (the one animated), then there are messages "Android upgrading, optimising 1 of 1 app", "Starting apps", then it reboots, and bootloops .... again and again. I have to take out the battery to turn it off.
Have you tried downloading the full ROM image from the ASUS support website again? (yes, download again and try flashing your device again). Usually when it says something about signature verification failed, it is due to the incomplete download of the ROM image (corrupted), or that it has been modified.
Do report back the results.

I's been thinking to this ...
I've downloaded 3 times the ROM from asus website. The download procees has been interrupted because of internet problem but i was able to resume after. I've even downloaded previous version. I am able to extract the zip file to my computer without error like cooupted file or CRC..
I need to know if other persons have the same problem exactly with this ZE500KL because, i have recently done the same thing with my ZE551ML and i had no problem.
Have you tried flashing the previous updates (software versions) instead? Could be a "bogus" update.

Yes. Same problem with .172
I was been delighted when i see this TWRP for ZE500KL http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-2-laser/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-0-recovery-t3319704 and it works,
But my joy was so short.
It says that it was unable to install the ZIP file because the ZIP is for WW_PHONE, and my phone is an OMNI_ZE500KL !!! What is this ? Never heard about it before. What's weird with this AUS ZIP file !!!??

Open a thread on ZenTalk: http://www.asus.com/zentalk/
Never heard about this OMNI SKU before.
If someone else has the same exact phone with you with a different SKU (perhaps WW?), you could try asking him to backup the recovery.img on his phone for you to flash. After that, just flash recovery via fastboot and you should be good to go.

Stock recovery (and TWRP):
https://github.com/sabpprook/android_device_asus_ze500kl/releases
Guys I Found The Solution For This Problem :
1-Flash TWRP Recovery From The Link : https://github.com/sabpprook/android_device_asus_ze500kl/releases
2- Wipe Data and Cache And dalvik Cache and Very Important (Wipe System).
3-Flash Back The Stock recovery From The Same Link Above.
4-Flash Your .zip Stock Frimware From The Link : https://www.asus.com/support/Download/39/1/0/20/KsY29RCpsJ2bea9O/32/
5-Please if this Helped You Press Thanks! Button And Enjoy.
The Trick: Stock Recovery Cannot Wipe System But TWRP Can.
P.S: You Cannot Flash The Frimware From TWRP ... It Will Give An Error.
Enjoy

Try this Method
De-grade to Kitkat by downloading Kitkat firmware UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.22.40.540-user ( Kitkat).
Then Extract Fastboot.img, Boot.img and recovery.img
flash these files throufgh fastboot, for that downoad minimal adb tools and connect your phone through usb when in fastboot mode
flash these files by clicking right while holding shift on the ADB tools folder in Blank space and choose Open command window here .
then type these 4 commands :
fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader [wait for the fastboot mode to reopen in phone then]
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
after these 4 commands go to recovery through selecting recovery from fastboot.
In recovery, select Update from adb. Now copy firmware.zip in that ADB tools folder which is UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.22.40.540-user.zip and rename it to update.zip for ease.
now type in Cmd :
adb sideload update.zip
after this clear data/cache in phone and Your phone will boot.

13. Type fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img (be very careful in writting this line). Hit Enter. Wait till it's done.
14. Type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and hit Enter. Wait till it's done.
15. Type fastboot flash boot boot.img and hitEnter.))
I don't find those files (and files like system.img) in the zenfone 2 laser rom zip(UL-ASUS_Z00E-WW-13.10.7.1-user.zip) but only Boot.img ,system.new.dat... nothing useful.
I dowloaded a official recovery and twrp, i tried to flash the recovery.img and the boot.img and i try to reboot in bootloader mode but nothing, than i tried to flash the trwp.img but the process failed!
I've a Raw file image of the rom but i don't know if it possible to install it in fastboot and what is the right Command on fastboot!
This is all, i hope that someone can help me
Download stock recovery from here and flash with fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img and download official firmware from official site.
Go in to recovery and wipe cache and data,after select update from adb,open adb and write this command:adb sideload name_of_firmware.zip or put firmware.zip in to sd and rename update.zip go in to recovery wipe cache and data and select update from sdcard and select update.zip
thank you for the response, after the flash of the original recovery, i tried to go in recovery with "volume - and power botton" but nothing only asus image, than i tried with fastboot command --->"fastboot boot recovery.img" and Failed( remote dtb not found)

nothing! My friend doesn't remember if he unlocked the bootloader, the phone doesn't go in recovery... So the problem is the unlocked bootloader or a locked bootloader?!

Hi guys. Few days ago I unlocked the bootloader of my Moto G4 plus, install twrp recovery and root the phone. Then I made the mistake of trying to install an update from OTA and since that day it is impossible to start the phone normally. It always starts in recovery mode, then I must go to restart to start in fastboot mode and next, select start to be able to use it. I reinstall the latest version of the recovery twrp and the ROM of LineageOS but nothing changes. Can someone tell me if there is any console command I can execute in the phone to start normally?
Thanks for your time...

Thanks for your answer. I don't understand the reference. I can flash any firmware without problem.
I looking for a commands to repair the boot because I have a boot loop with recovery mode.
I can use the phone but only across: recovery > restart > bootloader this restart in fastboot mode, next I select "start" And the phone boot with Android....
I whant to start in Android directly... I whant (if exists) any console command or any solution to fix the boot problem.

Oh, then you can try using these commands through fastboot:
mfastboot oem fb_mode_set
mfastboot oem fb_mode_clear

If your Issue resolved..then tell me ...how you did it....i am also stuck on that bootloop on recovery mode
I have now spent the entire day trying to get this thing to work, and having used up all the help from xda, I am asking you guys for help. Here's my situation:
I am trying to install TWRP on my Zenfone Max Pro M1. So I followed all the guides available, and downloaded the drivers, unlock.bat, TWRP img etc and did what I have always done on all my phones.
My computer also recognizes the device when I try fastboot devices. But the second I try to fastboot flash recovery twrp.img, the phone goes onto a black screen with "Press any key to shut down" written on it. I have tried every combination out there, and I don't know what to do now.
Please help.
Did you unlock boot loader? After that press volume up and power button,then you can enter fastboot screen. After that use fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
I have same problem plz help
1. boot into fastboot.
2. make sure fastboot can see the device 'fastboot devices'
3. fastboot flash recovery twrp-xxx.img
4. boot into twrp.
Did that work?

No, you must have done something else too. I'm trying to use fastboot mode to flash the fastboot firmware using Asus Flash Tool but as soon as AFT detects the device, it goes all black with the screen saying" press any key to shut down". Did you installed any other drivers or used any other system to do it?

Nope. Just used Powershell to execute the bat file and then push TWRP.
CMD wasn't working for me.
