Help installing a ROM.zip from ASUS on ZE500KL

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 !!!??

Can you try to ADB Sideload the ASUS ROM?

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.

How do you flashed your update in flashfire? Through firmware update or zip/ota?

I have que some problem. Anyone have a solution?
I download the firmware .zip file, but the phone not recognize adb sideload commands. Just fastboot commands, and fastboot I can not use firmware .zip.

ASUS ZenFone 3 Max (ZC520TL) X008DC

So I have a U.S. ASUS ZenFone 3 Max ZC520TL. Got it rooted with a patched bootloader using Magisk Manager that was originally factory unlocked via ASUS's download. Atm though for some reason my Stock Recovery does not want to load. Whenever I try to access it, my phone immediately reboots back into Android. Is there anyway to flash TWRP to it? Using SP_Flash_Tools presents the BCOM error 2004 and it is unable to flash it. I'm concerned using fastboot to flash it as apparently I need a scatter file to do so?

You need to flash with fastboot doing the command: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

I attempted to download the TWRP recovery that comes close to matching my model, which is here: https://twrp.me/asus/asuszenfone2720p.html but after flashing it using fastboot and attempting to boot into it, the phone still reboots after the screen goes blank and then boots normally. Also TWRP does not have a recovery specific for my phone, only one that is close.

OMG.. You can't flash other devices recovery's you need to flash a TWRP only for your device.. not close..

Well at the moment, I don't think this recovery issue is something that happened via my tinkering as I have been only able to get into the factory mode (which is in chinese) since I got the phone, and recovery never worked (always "bootlooped" when I accessed it even before my flash attempt). Plus I don't see the usual Android logo, just the ASUS logo and instant reboot back into system with no error codes.

Zenfone 3 ZE520KL stuck on recovery, bootloader doesn't work

So, I tried unlocking ZE520KL with ASUS Flash Tool, and after 25 mins of flashing image I disconnected the device. Now, the device only boots into factory mode and recovery mode. Bootloader doesn't work and internal storage isn't mounted when I use the option Install update from SD card, but MicroSD works.
I had the latest update installed before this happened. I tried the latest firmware from the site and installed it via recovery but it shows signature verification failed. The same thing happens if I try to delete the first few lines of the updater script in the META-INF folder.
So help me guys, which firmware should I use and how should I use it? Even ADB sideload didn't work.

Try fastboot flash 'recovery.img', the same version from a firmware you're about to flash than flash the zip from recovery

Thanks man. I figured it out though. I flashed the stock MM ROM and it worked. BTW, are there any ports of the stock camera? I really need the stock camera

Can you enter and stay on fastboot steadily? You need to obtain the whole stock ROM along with fastboot and recovery image from the very same package. Fastboot flash the fastboot and recovery image then flash the ROM from recovery.

Real Me 2 Pro Boot / Recovery Image have been damaged

today , I unlocked the bootloader of my Real Me 2 Pro and everything was fine and after I tried to boot it back to system after flashing magisk and the decryption.zip , I got this message saying " The current boot / recovery image have been destroyed and can not boot. Please flash the correct image or contact customer service to fix it"
I can just flash the official firmware or any ohter ROM but the PC can't seem to detect the fastboot mode and neither am I able to boot into fastboot / recovery.
can someone please help.!

I face the same issue. Flashed twrp. Then flashed boot+magisk+patched img file. Now the phone halts at the fastboot mode and is not booting up. It also unable to be power off. plz help. The model is Realme2 RMX 1805

Dont worry you do have a unlocked device so u need a pc to do that download system.img, vendor.img for your device and just open cmd then type this fastboot flash system system.img then fastboot flash vendor vendor.img and reboot it second method if you dont have an pc not sure that it will work you need a second device with otg support download bugjaeger app from playstore and use the same commands which i mention in pc method
