ZenFone 5 [FULL DEAD] fixed! - Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just try the debrick post. It worked for me.
/*
The phone doesn't boot up. Holding down the power button loads a red square instead of dead USB icon.
Possible reason: corrupted boot.img, system.img and more
The phone cannot be detected in ASUS Flash Tool or xfstk downloader. But I can see a cloverview device in the drivers list when I connect USB.
And can also be detectable with intel platform flash tool lite.

Did you already download debrick tool?
Are you sure it cannot charge, did you try another charger or change usb cable.
It need atleast 30%batt. Assume you have debrick tool.
1. Install all drivers, intel android usb, isoc, asus pclink.
2. Power off your device.
3. Press and hold power+vol.down about 10 sec and connect usb to pc. Need to do this slowly. Look at your devce manager, it show isoc usb. Repeat this step until it show isoc.
4. Run debrick.bat, usb logo wil show and turn to red. If this step run correct, droidboot will load automatic to your device.
5. Done, your fastboot has fix. You can flash stock recovery and sideload stock zip.

Done All of the Above after it reboots n when I try to run the "sec_offline_update_image.cmd" according to Step 13 in the Debrick post it hangs @ < waiting for device > and the phone waits @ White USB Logo for sometime n automatically turns off.
As mentioned I do start it with Power + Volume UP for fastboot but it never happens !!

Try to run debrick.bat first, wait until xfstk run, your phone must off. Press and hold power + vol down about 10 sec, now connect to pc. If isoc is detect release power + vol down.
You must do this right in time until droidboot load to your device. Repeat the process if it fail.

Sorry for the late reply. But I still didn't get any.
You can try replacing eMMc or optionally erasing it with UFI Box.

It won't work. For me. I don't either have the dead icon now. It shows a red square box, big and solid.
Sent from my Google Nexus 5.

You are at the same situation as me.
Let me know if you have fixed it. You are in a better situation.
I don't have the dead USB icon / Asus logo even.
In my words:
1) Try UFI Box to erase the whole eMMc and then flash it again.
Or,
2) Go to the customer care.
Or,
3) Buy a new eMMc that will cost 7$ (I don't have it here; else I would have fixed sooner or later) and go to mechanic to replace that.

Hey. Try the debrick method. It helped me to get back my fastboot.
Extract the debrick zip and click on debrick.bat; Don't modify any of the file's name.

You will have to try everything possible. Download the fastboot from Google search or extract that from the ROM in your debrick folder; Replace that with the existing one in the folder.
Mine wasn't booting to bootloader, I tried the mentioned method. I can now meter the fastboot and recovery but still my phone doesn't boot. -_-
Some of the files of "dev/block" are corrupted.

[HOWTO] Unbrick Hardbricked (stuck onUSB Logo) MeMo Pad ME170CX (and others)

This guide will help you unbrick your hardbricked MeMo pad or possibly other device. For the purpose of this guide, hardbricked will refer to a device's software being damaged to the point where standard procedures and utilities (adb, fastboot, recovery, etc.) will not be able to make the device functional again. In order to be hardbricked, you essentially need to erase or damage the bootloader. Without the bootloader, you can't use fastboot or recovery since all of those things require the bootloader. This guide addresses that situation (your device should be displaying nothing but the USB logo, as seen in the attachment). If you have a working bootloader and can run fastboot commands, THIS GUIDE IS NOT FOR YOU and will only possibly make things worse.
This guide is directed towards the ME170CX, which is also apparently called the ME70C or KO1A; however, the same process should work for other MeMo Pad devices and even other Intel devices. I cannot provide much help for other devices, so try at your own risk.
Do not follow this guide unless it is your last hope or you know what you are doing. I am not responsible for any damage you cause to your device in any way.
We will use the Intel Phone Flash tool, which can be used with a variety of Intel devices to flash firmware. You can use the Manufacturing Flash Tool instead if you'd like.
Here are the steps:
Obtain and install all drivers and software from the bottom of this post.
Download the factory image zip from the manufacturer's website; make sure it matches your device before flashing!. Extract the contents of the zip. Extract the contents of ifwi.zip into the same folder.
Plug in the device and open the Phone Flash tool. In the Phone Flash Tool window, click on "Custom Flash" on the left and pick "system (blankphone)" from the Type dropdown.
For each of the first four files, pick the one that matches:
CLVp_CSAX_FWR_DnX_20.3E.bin for FW DnX
IFWI_v64.25_CSAX_PROD.bin for IFWI
CLVp_CSAX_OS_DnX_20.3E.bin for OS DnX
fastboot.img for OS Image (this doesn't seem right, but it worked for me)
Once the four images are in place, click "Register flash file". At this point, your device should be displayed in the white rectangle on the page and the start flash button should now be clickable. Press the button, and flashing will commence. If you see "Windriver Error: 0x20000015, Timeout expired" in the console, try rebooting the device and flashing before the USB logo comes up (the device will appear in the Flash Tool before the logo comes up).
After a few seconds, you should see the Intel splash screen and you will be taken to droidboot. From there, it should be fairly easy to recover the device.

If you encounter any issues or corrections, please respond to this thread and let me know. Also, I was getting tons of driver errors (Windriver Error: 0x20000015, Timeout expired) the second time I tried to do this. The trick seems to be pressing the flash button before the USB logo appears.
I discovered most of this information from these two resources:

Hey @korockinout13!
1st of all, thanks for this, I have hard bricked my ME70cx and I needed a solution...
Unfortunately it is not working... I have followed your instructions but I keep getting the error "Windriver Error: 0x20000015, Timeout expired"
I have reinstalled the drivers (iSOC and Intel USB) but nothing changes, the same error keeps appearing.
You say "The trick seems to be pressing the flash button before the USB logo appears." BUT the start flash button is only clickable AFTER the USB logo appears
Any help shall be appreciated

I literally faught that error for a whole day. I tried 5 different computers, all had that issue. Usually my tablet would connect and disconnect once before the logo came up. Within that brief window, I was able to start the flash and it worked. I'm pretty sure that's what did it. If you aren't seeing this, turn up your PC's volume and listen for the USB sounds.
This whole thing is pretty annoying, but when it works, it works.
Thanks
I shall keep going at it until it works or I find another solution.
PLEASE help me!

Booting normally results in an "error" screen. randomly spamming vol up+vol down+power (SPAM!) brings up recovery, then do "apply update from adb." it puts it in a special adb where you can only use adb sideload

Hm... seems like you should be able to work with that if you have something flashable.

Repair
Hi,
I think i can help you out because i worked with the intel tool for weeks now to find a solution to root the me581cl.
Go to my thread and download a newer version of intelPhone tool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/root-downgrade-asus-me581cl-t3075678
If you crashed your tab totaly, you must put the 4 OS IFWI,dnx files like in the first post and then also boot.img, fastboot.img, recovery.img.
Uncheck only the ifwi folder, but select it before. So its possible to check blank phone and on demand flash.
Then click start flash and the files get loadet up. Now push vol+ and vol- togehter and plug in the device.
(device must be off before you plug it in. If not, press 10 sec the power button.)
The reest you can read in my thread. A downgrade from Android 5 to 4.4 is also possible.
Good luck
Guys, my ME176CX is shafted after completing the L update, it boots to the android with the red exclamation box...i can get past this by using the volume + & power and arrive in the recovery. from there I have tried the wipe cache/wipe userdata (doesn't help) also i tried to adb sideload one of the roms in the collection of roms thread. no good. ideas??
Any solution?
I have a ME176CX, I upgraded the SO I got the message "it said 'Unable to detect power status' for me was weird but I keep going pressing the volume button it started but in the black screen with this message:
"FastBoot Starting...
FastBoot Starting...#1
FastBoot Starting...#2
FastBoot Starting...#3" I don't know what to do, It doesn't move from this screen.
Man I'm living in Venezuela a bad country to get damaged any gadget everything is 5 times expensive who your country and without any help in our soil by ASUS.
is this solution applicable to non-intel memopad? (e.g. me172V)

[GUIDE] Fix a bootloop on a rooted Zenfone 2

Hello guys,
Here a easy way to fix a bootloop on your rooted Zenfone 2, if you make the error of apply an OTA while being rooted for example.
The only inconvenient of this method is that you will lost your internal data (like SMS, apps, downloads... But not your photos if they were in your SD Card). Another thing, you must have enabled the USB debugging before.
PS : I’m French sorry if my English is not perfect
Step 1
In your Zenfone 2, verify that you can go in fastboot mode : power off your Zenfone. Then, press the Power-On button until the phones vibrates twice. Release it, then go press the Volume+ button until this screen appears :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If that works, connect your Zenfone to your PC.
Step 2
Now go in Asus Website for download the most recent stock ROM of your Zenfone 2 (size : around 1.1 Go) :
ZE551ML : https://www.asus.com/fr/Phones/ZenFone_2_ZE551ML/HelpDesk_Download/
ZE550ML : https://www.asus.com/fr/Phones/ZenFone_2_ZE550ML/HelpDesk_Download/
ZE550CL : http://www.asus.com/fr/Phones/ZenFone_2_ZE500CL/HelpDesk_Download/
Remove the SD Card of your phone and copy it the zip, you can do it after if your connection is slow.
Step 2.5
I’m not sure if this is mandatory but do it by prevention : install “15 Seconds ADB Installer” : here a guide for intall it :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Step 3
When this is done, download the folder named : “CWM_Zenfone_2_Intel.zip” :
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/w70w7r1a65840/Zenfone_2
Extract the files, then open the folder :
Step 4
Run “cai_dat_CWM.bat”
Type “ACCEPT” in the command window, in capitals, then press Enter.
Then, if your Zenfone 2 is connect to your PC in fastboot mode and if the script is blue, that’s perfect !
Type “T4”, press Enter, and normally something like this will happen in your Zenfone 2 :
Step 5
Shortly after, your Zenfone will reboot in CWM Recovery Mode
With the buttons, go in :
Install zip > choose zip from external sd card > *name of the stock ROM* > Yes, install
When the installation is done, reboot your device, and normally the bootloop will be fixed ! CONGRATULATIONS :good: :victory:
i tried to wiped cache in recovery mode but before it completes i restarted the phone
so now when i start my phone it just blinks error bot and even when i select recovery mode same thing happens
i also tried to solve it with ADB method but it do not detect my phone
PLZ HEPL ASAP!
Worked! Thanks!
Thank you so much! :good:
It worked for me. Although I had to clear cache and dalvik cache before installing the zip, otherwise my phone would reboot into fastboot when trying to flash the zip.
And best of all: I didn't loose any data!! Just had to root again using method 3 and install busybox.
I edited my build.prop because on the Amazon App Store there is an app (Navigon Europe) that can't be installed because Amazon says my device would be incompatible which it isn't because the Play Store says it's fine. Anyway, upon rebooting I was stuck at the splash screen. Luckily I was still able to get into fastboot...
Thanks again!
Still doesnt boot up
Hi! Thank you for your guide! I ran into a bit of a problem, maybe you will be able to help me out.
I by mistake did an OTA update while rooted, and my phone is now stuck on ASUS logo. I tried to flash different roms from external SD card, but even though they install correctly, phone still does not boot....
Fastboot gives me "permission" problem, ADB says device not found....
Any help would be greatly appreciated, because I am about to give up and go buy another phone.
Thanks a lot in advance

Hello. I believe I did the same exact thing . Did you by chance ever get back into Recover y mode or get the PC to recognize your phone. I'm a total novice with this, and very lost. Thank you.
Yesterday I did it too. Follow this guide http://valuestuffz.blogspot.com/201...uck-in-recovery-wipe-cache-partition.html?m=1
i was hope ... but
Hi! there.
i spend last to days literelly trying to fix my zf2 ZE551ml, it gets frozen when i wipe cache so i force power off... what a mistake.
i was trying to fix it, and i got it worst. i think i erase recovery menu, so i can't adb sideload, fastboot saids that can not load image system.img, asus flash tool said "flash image failure (failed with error #1), xFSTK works to bring fastboot menu, but since i don't have the file to put on OS dns space, it didn't work, but, after hours and hours, in my last try of a long nigth, i did this guide.
when i see a cwm icon, i can't believe it!! almost made my entire two days, but suddenly, it was all sad, when i tried to install from external sd card it says that there is an error. And the problem still there. here is an option to install zip by sideload, but in de pc said not device detectec.
i really don't know what to do, i'm really tired, and my options are getting over...
any ideas??
Thank you all!!

Thank you for suggesting this guide! It did help me to get back into the recovery mode, however, after following the steps within the guide very diligently. I am still unable to get past the initial loading screen. . I received the permissions denied error just as the post suggested I would. I wiped the cache partition at the end of following the steps as suggested. Still. It will not load to the Welcome screen .

problem with idol 3 4.7 6039K
Hi there,
I don't know if this is the correct section, I hope so, otherwise I really appreciate you can drive me to the appropriate one, it's new for me this forum!
I have an idol 3 4.7, where I have installed kingroot and after I took out (I didn´t reset the phone, Just unistall the app),
yesterday i received the update system message, I imagine for the marshmallow update, so I say Yes, install it.
But the phone entered in bootloop. I only have the initial screen with the options as Reboot system, adb and so on.
I tried to wipe but nothing. So now my phone stucked. I tried with an assistance center in Quito but they could't
My questions are:
may I use this system for 6039K?
Or does anybody hear about a solution in this case?
Should I open and take out the battery?
Please, any suggestion will be really welcome in order to make the phone work again.
P.

Can you try with Mobile upgrade Q to restore,if doesn't work
Use this guide from wiemar ,it should help to you because it's for your model

Tell me info About your phone? Model,Country,ROM...../?
All is standard, no root, no twrp and the latest software from alcatel, the model is 6045Y. But all of a sudden my phone decided to random reboot and it didn't stop
So i looked to unbrick it and came with a couple of options, first i tried to sideload software but that didn't work, than i tried it with Mobile upgrade from alcatel and that didn't work.
Than i saw this thread and tried it twice but after Panasonic and the sound it starts to reboot again. Now i'm trying again with Mobile upgrade.
All that is changed is the recovery interface it looks now like it is from MM.

More Looks like Hardware Problem Try again with Mobile q if not works...Send to warranty repair.....
Alek, thank you for this great guide. It saved my 6045k model.
I was messing around with AlekOS 3.0, had issues with lock screen and experimented with modems. I managed to permanently disable secondary sim slot (was using famewolf's modem backups). I forgot to copy modem.img backup to my PC! Also tried bunch of TWRP backups with no luck. My last hope was Mobile Upgrade Q and reverting back tu 5.0.2. Unfortunately with no success (only one sim slot is recognized again).
Finally I found this thread, followed the guide and I can confirm that it did solve sim issue. The setup finished with no errors that you mentioned. It got stuck at 45%, but after a while (10min) it completed successfully.
Cheers!
I'm in the same situation as you,but my problem is that Panasonic Eluga doesn't recognice my devide,drivers are correctly installed,I checked everything but nothing:

Then flash 4.21.40.184 M raw file in AFT Provided above .
Note. , if serial number is incorrect , you have to 2 part flash raw in AFT like the video.
If serial is correct , flash raw ONCE only in AFT.

People struggling still with this method-- yet i have used it over a hundred times without fail.
Please dont send pm`s because i dont think you get my replies for some reason !
If you are still having probs ....re-download your files required.
Use a good quality usb data cable(one i used which worked perfectly all the time, wouldnt work in xfstk)
Do - extract all files offline with A/V disabled.
People with flat batts --
leave your fone alone and off ,let battery build a bit to kickstart enough to get thru the next phase...
Flash xfstk with(4x0`s) 0x80000807 in CRC box ... get your bootloader fastboot quick then power off via bootloader and charge fone for a few hrs....then let cool before reflashing in XFSTK with settings(5x0`s) 0x800000807
Doesnt matter if it says fails operating system ,aslong as success in ifwi and fwr dnx--- you will be back in bootloader by then
Then let fone stay connected to pc for 10mins atleast before closing XFSTK.
Close Xfstk after 10 mins and flash raw.
Follow vid re.. correcting serial number when fone pauses for approx 3 mins after flashing some cmds, when it stays on result=ok for 3 mins.
Unbrick my ZF2 with thousand of lines...lol
hi timbernot....i hv a problem probly u know of.
resently i bricked my ZF2 at usb mode that is after i upgrade to new software by asus.but forgoten that i've rooted my ZF2 with king root apps.then i found yr method from youtube..well i give it a try with xFSTK.somehow after fullfill the requirement needed i almost score the goal..but!my ZF2 end up with line's on my ZF2 screen.i did saw the bootloader screen for 2 second that everything became shattered.
Xfstk gives you bootloader
Once in bootloader you flash raw
You dont try to boot into system-- you let raw finish and boot into system on its own ,like the vid
The grey screen if thats what you mean with black lines (shattered look) is splashscreen in wrong format of 6.0 /on 5.0
Flash in Xfstk again(correctly)
Follow the vid !
my phone is z008
i use xfstk with 550 file =====> my phone no vibrate . no anything.
and with 551 file =====> my phone virate and blank screen @@
how howwwwwwwwww
Could you mirror the raw file in google drive? the original source is very slow to download

It could be as simple as removing the cable from computer and putting in another usb port.
Mine was at 123456789ABCDEF (and then the Asus Flash Tool does not work) and I did this and the correct serial was shown allowing me to use Asus Flash Tool and unbrick my phone.
its perfectly normal for the first part to have 0-9 serial - restore it by pressing Vol + , when commands on phone stays on `RESULT=OK` for approx 3mins -- Then you force close asus flash tool and restart it and serial will be corrected.
The title of the thread gives us the clue that this will correc t serial number
The vid shows exactly when to initiate.
pay atention in the video from -14.00
dude, please help.
in your video i dit it right at minute 3:18, after never show me the bootloader. The phone restart and the 4 colour appear again.

bootloader and fastboot / recovery mode every thing gone

i have a problem with my moto g4 plus / moto g4 i was trying to unlock bootloader and trying to install twrp in my phone but i didnt succefully install twrp or unlock bootloader now i only show blank screen .. i cant entered in fast-boot or recovery mood when i press volum + or power button its show boot mood options when i select any option its just goes blank and nothing happend.. when i press volume down + power button its not responding and nothing happen ... when i connect with pc/laptop it conneting and reconneting and in device manager it only show mediatek android usb com something like this ...... please help me
Can you tell us the procedure you were following to unlock your bootloader and try to flash TWRP?
When you press volume down and power key, do you see the normal fastboot screen (not sure what you mean by boot mode options)? Do you see text like AP Fastboot Mode (secure), a green Android like this image? https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ei3vCdq3jn0/maxresdefault.jpg
Sounds like you may have to try a cache wipe or factory reset, or a stock ROM re-flash. Can you tell us what stock ROM you had on your device before attempting to unlock your bootloader?
EDIT - wait, you're seeing Mediatek Android USB...? Can we see a screen shot of the Device Manager for your device please?
i try multi procedures but at end i try fastboot oem unlock and after this i start my phone its not starting and only moto logo appears after this i try to flash twrp by fastboot flash recovey twrp.img and when i install i start in recovery mode its stuck on recovery screen and after some time rebbot and stuck in boot loop

Hmm, that's very odd - so you requested the unlock key from Motorola, booted your device to the bootloader, entered the key with 'fastboot OEM unlock <the unlock key>', did your device then erase itself and then reboot? Similar to what is described in this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67031801&postcount=2
Also, did your bootloader look like this : https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ei3vCdq3jn0/maxresdefault.jpg or like this : https://i2.wp.com/blogthetech.com/w...Fastboot-Mode-on-MTK.jpg?resize=819,369&ssl=1
What concerns me is that you mentioned your device is presenting itself to your computer as a Mediatek device (rather than Motorola or Qualcomm). Can you confirm this with a screenshot of your Device Manager and confirm you do have a Moto G4/G4 Plus?

Upload the image to https://imgbb.com or tiny pic http://tinypic.com then once uploaded, there should be a shareable link which you can paste here.
If you have Google drive or Microsoft one drive, then you could upload to there and share the file link.

So your bootloader screen looks more like this? https://blog.hovatek.com/bpyeki/uploads/2015/01/MTK_Phone_entering_boot_mode.jpg
Where did you buy the phone from?

Ah, that's a boot screen from a phone with MediaTek processors. This matches with you mentioning that the Device Manager on Windows is detecting a MediaTek USB connection (the MediaTek preloader USB vcom). I see it's the same as what you uploaded.
The big problem here is that genuine Moto G4/G4 Plus devices come with Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 CPUs, not MediaTek, and don't present themselves as MediaTek devices to a computer. Unless you've been mistakenly sold a Moto E4/E4 Plus (which have MediaTek CPUs in them), on the available evidence thus far, I'm concerned you may have bought a fake clone G4/G4 Plus.
It could be that someone has somehow flashed MediaTek firmware onto a Moto G4/Plus, but I'm not sure if that is even possible, as the Snapdragon bootloader would likely block such a firmware flash. A boot screen from a genuine Moto G4 that is not modified was shown here: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ei3vCdq3jn0/maxresdefault.jpg You'd normally get to this by powering off, then hold the power and volume down keys together.
I don't have any experience repairing such devices, and the guides here only will help you with Snapdragon/genuine Moto G4 devices. All I can do is point to guides like this https://www.engineerthink.com/blog/...ediatekmtk-android-phone/?PageSpeed=noscript' and hope you can find some firmware for this particular device. I hope that posting here https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help might get you some assistance as well.
EDIT - What happens if you select normal mode, does your device boot?
Otherwise, I hope you can get your money back.
By the way thanks alot for helping me
is chaning of mother board will help me or not ??
i forget to tell you one thing my phone not showing in pc permanently its detected and flash for 1 sec and disappers from device manager and doing this process continusly

Changing the motherboard, if there are spare motherboards that will fit your device, will be expensive, and may cost more than what you paid for the device. Are you hoping to try putting in a Moto G4 motherboard? Also, we don't know if the other components in the device are genuine or possible fakes as well, so you may have a genuine motherboard but low quality parts (e.g. the camera) that will impair your experience.
I'd try selecting normal mode in that boot list, see if you can get it booting again. Or perhaps try a factory reset from recovery, if you're willing to do so (as this will wipe your data).
Apologies about this - the evidence you've presented matches up unfortunately. I hope that you can get a refund from the seller for selling a non-genuine device if you so choose.

Hmm, can you check if the USB cable is plugged in fully and securely, and in a fully working USB port on your computer? Does it keep happening if you keep the device still, or get worse if you move the device around whilst still plugged in?
i try nothing happend when i connect another phone work fine
i dont know what to do know i think its better to leave it
