My phone is severly bricked - Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I havent got a nandroid backup on my phone and flashed a boot and recovery img on my phone. I was going to update it via stock recovery and apply the stock update from sd card. But there was error 7 as per usual and i have tried to flash all of my previuos working roms which tell me that the e;footer is wrong and none of them have worked. I am about to try and adb sideloaf but it has not been working for me, neither has fastboot because it cannot detect the device due to me stupidly erasing the boot.img. Can someone help because i know that i have messed up big.
Thanks,
Cho

endless bootloops and no solution :(

Hello,
I´ve got some big problem wth my P8.
I rooted and flashed TWRP some days ago.
Yesterday and I wanted to install an update, OTA isn´t workng with root and TWRP, so I extracted the B170 update for my GRA-L09 with HuaweiExtractor and flashed the built zip, but now my P8 keeps on getting bootloops at huawei-startscreen.
Every try to restore an TWRP-backup ands up with the same sh*t and installing the update from dload on the SD with booting per volume up + down also ends with an error.
When I connect the phone in TWRP to an PC it also didn´t recognize the size of internal memory at all.. it only says internal memory.. for the SD it keeps saying me it has around 59GB..
and TWRP only says the internal memory is around 4GB, but it has to be around 11GB belive
I think something destroyed the internal partitions on my phone.
Is there a way to flash an update.app direct from pc or to restore faulty partitions?
Hope someone couldhelp me, the phne is only 3weeks old
try the three bottoms way update
but the dload file is formated sd card and shut down the phone and use the volume down and up and power at the same time and it will install the update.app but you must have stock recovery

Can you still enter TWRP? Have you tried doing a Factory Reset?
I try one more time with dload on formated sd and three buttons.. we will see
and yes, I can enter twrp and can flash all sort of img´s in fastboot and switch between twrp and stock recovery.. but installing an full rom isn´t working.. factory reset and so on were done countless times..
Edit: now it´s getting worse.. twrp is still working, BUT after last attempt with 3-button-method I can´t touch anything, only power-button is working, no unlock or so on
is there some possibility to flash the phone with SPFlashTool to recreate partitions?
is it possible to get this repaired at a huawei-center? i´ve only unlocked bootloader and flashed twrp, but did not install root.. should relock bootloader be enough?

Try to "factory reset" in TWRP and then install the stock recovery via fastboot again. I had the same problem like you before, but this fixed it. If it doesn't we could speak on Skype, if you want too.

This isn´t possible at all anymore.. fastboot always ends up saying "FAILED (data transfer failure (unknown error))"
Seems my phone phone now is not only bricked, after all these trys it is really bricked

Don't you have any insurance, return policy or so?
Also, did you started fastboot via "CMD" with elevated rights ( Admin ) ?

I have insurance.. but will they repair it, after all I have tried?!?
fastboot is working for example "fastboot devices" or so on.. only flashing ends up giving errors
So now my P8 was repaired because of damaged mainboard..
the situation now is, I have a full twrp-backup of my old device, but of course with the old IMEI.. now with a new mainboard it also has a new IMEI..
so can I restre my old backup, when keeping the EFS with the new IMEI or wont this work, because the backup was made with another IMEI?
can somebody tell me, if this is going to work?
hi
i same problem way ?
Try to flash this custom rom via recovery "do full wipe" , when your device work, then you can go back to stock rom via updater app. Or you can stay in this custom rom If you like it.
Here is the link for the custom rom :

Hi Guys
Is there posibility to flash stock rom via TWRP ?
thnx
for me the only way was to send it for a repair and get the mainboard exchanged.. flash via TWRP should work, if you have a rom in zip-format.. the huawei-roms itself aren´t compatible!

[Q] Can't restore stock recovery in Brazilian XT1572 (dual sim)

Hi guys, I need some help, I received OTA to 6.0 but I can't upgrade because I can't restore the stock recovery on my phone.
I tried using the commands "fastboot erase recovery", "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", using Rashr, TWRP and many others but the stock recovery doesn't work, in the recovery screen I get the message "No command" and the dead android figure with a red triangle.
I already downloaded the stock firmware and flashed all the files a lot of times and I also have copied my OTA file to external SD card to use it again later.
Someone knows what is happening and how to restore the stock recovery? :crying:
EDIT: I just found a solution in other place, the firware file was corrupted, I downloaded it again and now the stock recovery works.
Moderators, please, close this thread.

I have the XT1752, UK version and it isn't dual sim, I thought the 1755 was the dual sim version

Asus Zenfone Max (ZC550KL, Z010D), Android M, Unable To Unlock Bootloader

Hi there! I have this question which I'd love to have answered because I've been on this issue for around 2 days straight.
Long story short:
Tried to flash custom recovery using fastboot, didn't work because bootloader locked
Kept on trying the unlocker apps, none of them even installed fully (THIS WAS WHEN I WAS STILL ON LOLLIPOP)
Somehow, at some point, I just randomly rebooted and BOOM THERE WAS TWRP (Sorry, I don't remember how exactly I managed that. As far as I remember, I was only using fastboot and nothing else)
Flashed CM 14.1 unofficial, device gave an error message regarding boot.img (something like "could not load boot.img"
Used stock ROM to flash OTA Android 6.1
Now the Asus unlocker app downloads but on reboot it says "error: unlock fail !!!"
Obviously, fastboot is unable to flash a recovery right now. I tried ignoring the error message and rebooting to recovery to stop the device from loading the stock recovery again but the device still loads the stock recovery.
I'm really tired
P.S: NO, there is no Enable OEM option in my Developer Options menu and YES, I have all the drivers necessary.
Did you get anywhere with this? I have a similar problem except that I couldn't flash Android 6.1 because the vendor had flashed WW 5.0.2 on a CN phone without also updating the CN recovery to WW. So the update failed its consistency check.
I've got TWRP on there now, but can't unlock the bootloader in 5.0.2 - I think this is why TWRP can't flash anything. It can't see the update files, won't switch to external SD, etc. .
I also found and tried flashing a WW recovery but that didn't work either. I'm wondering now if I got the 615 software by mistake.

How to restore EFS partition with OEM locked, no ADB and no fastboot?!?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
P L E A S E H E L P M E !
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hi.
First of all, please excuse my bad english.
I've a big problem with my Samsung Galaxy S8.
After failed flashing, I've a problem with my EFS partition.
It began with that, that my IMEI and my Carrier informations were gone.
IMEI was not existing anymore, there was only an empty space where the IMEI should be.
The other thing was that the carrier informations also were not available, my phone doesn't recognize my SIM card and didn't want me to insert the PIN.
For fixing this, I followed a instruction to get both back but something went terrible wrong so my phone wasn't able to boot OS anymore, only Stock recovery and downloadmode.
On start the phone stuck at the Samsung logo in a bootloop.
When it boots into recovery I get the error message that system wasn't able to mount and EFS was found.
Downloadmode works normally.
When I try to flash stock rom with Odin, and it works that Odin install the whole rom without any problems, the phone only boots into recovery or stuck at Samsung logo again, even when I try other stock roms.
I think that some partitions were erased or got broken!
I'm also not able to flash twrp or a custom rom because OEM is locked and won't let me flash that and I#m not able to boot into OS to unlock OEM!!
ADB also doesn't work because my computer doesn't detect the phone on the normal way, it just works that it will be recognized by Odin and not by windows explorer.
When I try searching for it with ADB or fastboot devices, I won't get any response!
Summary:
EFS partition not found
System can't be mounted
Only stock recovery
Locked OEM
Can't flash custom recovery or rom
Flashing stock rom does not bring partitions back
Bootloop at Samsung logo
ADB and fastboot do not work
Please help me to get my phone working again because it's new and only works for 2 days!
Thank you! :good:
Yeah, this happened to me recently took and I don't know what to do. Help please anyone

Asus Zenpad Z380M Wont turn on or boot to any mode after attempted magisk root with locked bootloader

Okay, Let me explain exactly what I did here... I first flashed Twrp using SP flash tool which worked without too much problem. Then I attempted to install the latest super su zip which told me the boot.img was already patched and it could not find a ramdisk... So I moved on and flashed the latest Magisk zip which flashed no problem. Rebooted the device and it came up with a red boot state telling me it would boot in 5 sec. It did not boot at all. Turned off the tablet and rebooted into twrp again. I then flashed the OTA update system.img, boot.img, and re-flashed twrp from twrp itself instead of the SP flash tool. It booted into twrp no problem, however now it said it could not mount the system partition. I did a full data wipe, factory reset, rebooted into twrp again. Same issue. So I attempted to re-flash the firmware with SP flash tool. Did not notice i had it set to format and download and not only download. It said formatting for maybe 2 sec and gave me an error. Now the device will not turn on at all... no screen whatsoever, no recovery, etc... I have had no luck getting the asus flash tool to even recognize a com port however SP flash tool seems to be able to flash the device no problem. I extracted the .raw firmware file I have for the latest firmware, modified the scatter file to allow flashing all partitions, and I did a full firmware flash of the device using SP flash tool. However it still does not turn on... it does nothing... So I'm assuming that I accidentally formatted over the bootloader... And I cannot find a bootloader flash file for this device anywhere... So I'm stuck with an Asus ZenBrick... Does anyone know a way to fix this issue? When I plug the device into my computer and open device manager it switches between the preloader and mtk serial port very quickly not staying on either one very long. I'm assuming this is why I cant get the asus flash tool to work and SP flash tool works off just the initial preloader. I just bought this tablet from someone and managed to hard brick it in less than a days time... Any help at all with a way to revive this device will be greatly appreciated. Thank You in advance to anyone who tries to help me fix my mess up.
