Hello everyone =)
First, sorry if my english is bad, not my native language =)
So, i'm kind of a newbie in rooting stuff. I had a Galaxy S2 some times ago and I rooted it easily at the first try. Luck I guess
Two days ago, i've bought a Zenfone 2 Laser ZE550KL and yesterday, I tried to root it with Asus Zenfone method (i'm not allowed to post link for moment :/ )
Very very bad thing happened. The last command "fastboot oem reboot-recovery" (or other form of this command) failed in cmd program as "unknown command", still don't know why and my phone was in a bootloop.
After 9 hours this night to try to recover it with differents system.img, I've finally restaured it, and it works ! (pheew ! ). But I still want to root my device, but my knowledge in this is very low :/ and I don't want to do stupid sh** anymore, I'd like to know how to do to avoid any brick or nightmare bootlop of the death (NBOTD haha)^^ so I hope find some help here for root my ZE550KL =)
(Just in case, i'm on Android 6.0.1, WW_21.40.1220.179420160722)
I've read a lot of post in this forum, but I don't know which ways are safer for my version ^^'
Thanks for reading, waiting for replies

Hi guys,
I ask for your help after having tried everything was in my possibilities.
I recently bought a Galaxy GT-B5510 (GINGERBREAD 2.3.6 B5510XXKK2) and I wanted to root it. I tried everything :
1. Superoneclick
2.Z4root
3.Unlock Root
4.Sgtool
5.to put a .zip folder in the SD and to enter in recovery
It was useless. I have all the possible drivers on my windows 7, although 1,2,3 and 4 didn't work.
1 freezes at #7;
2 just doesn't do anything
4 "smart card error 0x89"
5 I feel idiot, but I seriously can't do the recovery mode. I push power+home+volume up but the best result I achieve is a reboot.
It's been 5 days since I started trying, now I just don't know hat to do.
I also opened hopefully another thread on XDA forums, if you want to see the whole discussion is here
Thanks for any help!
Hello all!
First of all i want to thank this site (and the people behind it) that makes everything android possible.
I feel privileged to be a member of this forum specially on rough times like what i am facing right now.
I rooted my Galaxy A8-A800i the other day and everything went great. I followed the instructions that i found here. Unfortunately, yesterday i turned off the OEM Unlock on my phone. Now, as the thread title says it. it is stuck on the Logo Screen with the annoying " Custom Binary blocked by FRP Lock ". i read a guide that ashyx made and i felt stupid. I didn't know that turning the OEM Unlock will do that to my Phone.
Right now, I am digging deep on this forums to try and revive my phone that is currently in Brick state.
i am downloading a firmware from sammobile for my phone, the problem i have is... i don't know how to use it. I don't know much about my phone but I do want to learn a lot and i know that this is the right place. I would like to ask assistance on how to use the firmware that I am downloading right now, and also, can i make the Knox Counter go "0" again?
Thanks for everything guys. I highly appreciate everything i've learned here so far.
EDIT: Sorry this post wasn't supposed to be here. Please delete it. i moved it to Troubleshooting.
i hade same issue which a800iz , download rom for your phone , and flash boot and recovery , it must working
Sorry for the late reply. Yes, my phone is working now. I installed the official stock firmware to correct the problem.
amm sir good day i have a SM-A800iz i been try to odin to install stock rom but did't work theirs another way to recover my phone? thank you...
Hello, guys! It's now my 2nd post asking the exact same help. I'm very desperate to fix my phone : Asus Zenfone 5.
I have been looking for solutions for a long time, I'm not easily quit on googling. So far, this problem is one that haven't been fixed and very unlikely to be fixed
I have contacted many people including that Taiwan guy who is an expert on Zenfone 5 (forgot the name) and I'm EXTREMELY DESPERATE
I know this problem might be similiar with other case, but this one seems to be rare, because I have not found the solution.
Here is the timeline before my device got soft-bricked :
1. I upgraded to Lolipop with a different version of it's recovery, but still worked.
2. One day, ANR Keeps reporting that SystemUI has stopped. Rebooted and the phone went bootloop.
3. (probably the problem) I flashed wrong version of recovery (I think it was kitkat's recovery) and after then, I'm not able to get into DROIDBOOT.
I have tried several ways :
1. Sending package to my phone over ADB Sideload (It says something like error mounting blabla)
2. Flashing with xFSTK (It says something about driver, and I googled it. Found everyone with the same problem, endless solutions)
3. Downloaded about 1 gig of files (DEBRICK Files) and still, gets stuck somewhere.
So anyone have a solution for me, please?? I'm totally desperate right now, I lost hope. Never had this kind of problem, the thing is that so far, I never had such never-solved case in my life, I will always
find a solution from Google even that would take a long time. I have been searching passively for about 8 months, and I got none of those works
I will be very thankful if anyone would try to help this problem, I will bring detailed information you want, because I don't have solutions left.
Sorry for bad English
Thank You so much!
From what I know (even though I am far from being an expert, just tried and researched a lot), there is no way to fix it.
The bottom line of the problem is that you can't repartition internal storage of zenfone 5 because of x86 architecture, there is no proper Linux partition tools for it. And the oem partitioning via bootloader just fails (gpt command failed).
this type of problem has raised extremely in last month because of some reason.
I just don't understand why but, perhaps, some error in the recent twrp version/s or flash scripts.
My zf5 is a full brick now with no chance for salvation, service can't fix it as well, says impossible to repartition because of the mentioned above.
Hope, I'm wrong
Try @dgadelha "unbrick" package what contain system in .raw format
It will not help. Because any unbrick method involves repartition, which is impossible in this case.

But, @kihope12, that would be great if you post a link to that package or thread. Thanks!
Normaly i know link only for zenfone assist, what dont work anymore, so.. just try search on XDA
Well.. I'm done then.. I had so much hope with that phone after recovering it from bootloop.. Now there is no chance to get it back..
Anyway, thanks a lot for letting me know about this, otherwise I would keep looking for something impossible to fix.. And, you seem to know much about this.
Thanks again!!
Hey guys!
At first, this is my first post here so please be lenient if I posted this in the wrong section or whatever. I still need to get used to this forum.
Second, English is not my native language so it could become some gibberish from time to time. I also have to mention that my Android skills are somewhere between newbie and advanced, so please keep that in mind.
But let's get ahead to my problem:
Some days ago, I decided to install Linage OS 14 on my SM-N910F because I don't like the Stock Android 6.0.1 of it.
As you know, a custom ROM requires an unlocked bootloader an that's where my struggle starts.
I simply can't find any tutorial or similar for my phone. The only one I found didn't work (It was with adb fastboot, the process got stuck at "<wating for device>" after the command "fastboot unlock oem" which was described in the tutorial).
I retried it about three or four times before I gave up. It feels like I searched the entire internet, including this forum, but I couldn't find anything useful.
Maybe it's my fault because I didn't look properly, but yeah, know I'm here to ask directly:
Do you guys have any tricks, tipps, ideas or tutorials for me to try?
If it helps you, my phone is already rooted. (chainfire's CF Autoroot)
It'd make me really, really happy and already thank you for your (hopefully) incoming answers.

Pretty certain your bootloader isn't locked, you just need to install twrp with odin and then you are good to flash lineage

Thank you for your fast reply. I'll try it once again, moreover I'll let you know if it worked.
It's me again. Flashing the ROM worked, my phone now runs under Linage OS 14.1. But now I've got another problem: Gapps. Somehow I can't flash the Gapps package, TWRP always tells me that the file is corrupted. I downloaded both the Pico and the Nano package for ARM Android 7.1* devices. Both don't work. I also tried the Android 7.0.* version, but that didn't work ofcourse. (Error 20: Wrong Android version installed on the device.) Is it my fault because I downloaded the wrong packages or what's the issue?
It'd be awesome if you could help me again.

EDIT:
Okay, now it works. TWRP was right, the file was corrupted. I figured out that my PC kinda messed up the download of the package. I downloaded it with another computer and now everything works fine.

I also happened to screw my Android many times. I even uninstalled the whole OS, and my zenfone 5 rendered useless for a couple of days until I got an solution. But I couldn't understand what you mean by a DEAD partition, could you please give more detail about it, maybe even some screenshots?

I'm having this issue(PFA). Any solutions ?
Mine is almost similar problem too,only i get the error failed to mount /system
Same issue here. Please let me know if you find the answer.
Yes same issue here!
did someone find a solution?
Have you tried Factory resetting? or even installing a custom rom?
I see you dont have a custom recovery installed so I'm guessing you're trying to install a STOCK rom?
If not flash a custom rom with custom recovery and see if it helps.
