After a failed root I've recieved the error ' Can't load invalid boot image ' . I tried booting ' boot.img ' . That didn't work . After I tried booting it I got to the ' Asus , In Search Of Incredible ' waiting screen . After that , nothing else happened , and it kept loading . Will it load eventually or is it not working ?
Did you root by flashing SuperSU with the latest twrp?

I attempted to root it using this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/ze...guide-marshmallow-root-guide-ze500kl-t3380461
Try to flash the latest twrp3025 image found on this forum in fastboot mode, if you follow the steps correctly, your're bootloader should be unlocked. Then try to boot in twrp/recovery and flash any custom ROM, 13/14 based.
Edit: Can you access stock recovery?
Can you flash TWRP without your device rooted ?

I doubt I can acces that .
You can flash twrp as long as your bootloader is unlocked. Go tk fastboot and type
fastboot oem device-info
If you see "Device unlocked: true" it means bootloader is unlocked!
I'll try and unlock it now
I unlocked it . What now ?
After unlocking it , the error disappeared , but I'm still stuck in the Asus logo loading screen
Flash the latest twrp, custom ROM and GApps.
---------- Post added at 20:11 ---------- Previous post was at 20:05 ----------
I think you dont have a ROM installed that's why its stuck in asus logo. So you need to flash a ROM
I am downloading the latest firmware ATM and I am going to flash it . What is GApps tho ?
If you want to flash stock ROM(from asus website) you wont need GApps. You need to be in fastboot if you want to flash stock ROM, but I can't help you since I never revert to stock before. But there are many guides here for flashing stock, be sure to read the OP Thread and the comments for more info.
The ' Android is Starting ' thing popped up and I'm freaking out that it might work finnaly ..
It worked ! Thanks alot dude !
Congrats in bringing your phone back to life. Haha

What is that
If you want to flash a custom rom, you don't need to unlock bootloader for it.
You can flash custom recovery using fastboot mode, after which you can install custom roms.

I did the same method as you are telling. I was able to install twrp through fastboot successfully(without unlock the bootloader) and installed custom rom and gapps successfully too. But when I reboot my device after installation I stuck in boot logo every time. I waited more than 30mins but nothing happened. No matter which rom I tried but I had to face the same problem ?. I don't know how to get rid of this issue.
And also my twrp showing an error which is -failed to mount/factory (invalid argument).
I think this is the reason why I'm facing bootloop.

I also unlocked mine using the same method that you have used. And successfully unlocked my bootloader. Then I installed twrp using fastboot. But my twrp showing an error which is -failed to mount/factory (invalid argument).
Then I successfully installed custom rom and gapps ( I wiped cache after installation) but when I reboot my phone I stuck in boot logo. I waited more than 30mins but nothing happened.
I tried so many roms but had to face same problem.
Is the twrp errors the reason of my bootloop issue??

Refer to this asus zentalk link.
flash twrp again and make sure to keep your volume down button pressed before entering the "FASTBOOT REBOOT" command.
Clear ur data after flashing twrp, flash trustzone fix also if you're getting error 7, install ur desired custom rom. It should work!!
I did the same a couple of days ago, it worked for me.

To install ROM you need a unlocked bootloader , screw twrp for now.
I'm currently on lollipop stock firmware with phone rooted and bootloader unlocked. I have also flashed latest Twrp recovey.
But here is the problem, i downloaded Resurrection remix latest version and tried to flash it, but error 7 came up. I bypassed this error by editing the updater script ( i followed a tutorial ). Now when i flashed the rom it says its sucessful but when I select boot to system it goes to fastboot mode. Im a noob so please dont be harsh to me.
PLEASE HELP ME FAST
THANKS

No, but to be sure go to fastboot the type:
fastboot oem device-info
if you see this -->> (bootloader)Device unlocked: true
then you are still unlocked.

Thanks man it worked and i am able to flash Resurection remix.
Thanks a lot again
Glad I was able to help. Warning, flashing can be addictive! And make sure to have a nandroid back-up.
WRT the original post, I tried the same procedure but after having errors i flashed the twrp with adb through cmd:fastboot flash boot boot.img . And now it is showing no OS available and shows that it is not rooted in the twrp recovery. Now it is still not flashing the rom and showing error and now i have no idea what to do. So, please give me instructions on how to repair my asus zenfone 2 laser ze550kl. I did all this on MM.
If you have TWRP 3025 then you can flash any custom ROM. Try to redownload the ROM, maybe it's just a bad download. What error did you see?
Hello I wanted to install Oreo on my PRA-LX1 following this guide
https://www.haky86.com/2018/05/12/install-emui-8-0-huawei-p8-lite-2017/
I was on official EMUI Nougat firware, I downloaded LX1C432B322 of 2018.04.13 what he said, installed nocheck recovery and then update_command. Reboot, title, nothing works except fastboot. I re-unlocked the phone with oem unlock and after reboot same.
I tried to flash twrp-3.2.1-v3.5-prague.img again to fix but length error with "fastboot flash recovery"
I tried to flash his OreoTWRP.img with "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk" and it pass, reboot but I can't boot to recovery.
Pressing VolUp + Power does nothing, "phone can't be trusted" screen with the eRecovery option (VolUp for 3 seconds) but eRecovery is dead (error mode)
Maybe this OreoTWRP worked but how to bot to recovery now ?
please help I can't buy another phone it's urgent...

Download the nougat rom you were on before. Extract update.app to get the recovery. Flash it using fastboot. Then try dload method.
Or flash nougat twrp and try flashing the nougat rom via HuRUpdater

Hi so I been seeing many people getting stuck on fastboot after flashing ROM so here is the method u can use if u can't boot to TWRP also.
I have tired on PA ROM and it works so idk about others ROMs ..
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
fastboot flash logo logo.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash misc misc.img (u can get on fastboot rom not .zip)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (recommend used twrp-3.3.1-2-davinci-fix).. Russian one
And after those comands do run TWRP auto installer.
U can find those files from fastboot stock ROM. This will save ur data and u won't needed to flash Stock ROM ..
Hope I explained everything if anything else needed comment down below.
Hi, i'm stuck in this fastboot limbo but can't find some of these files you mentioned: logo.img and misc.img
Where do i get them?
edit: nevermind, solved flashing fastboot miui with miflash pro.
EDIT 2: after flashing a rom i get stuck in fastboot everytime. How to avoid this?
Also tried flashing those files in that exact sequence but still stuck in fastboot.
My persist.img is shown not writable in cmd if I try to flash it. If I flash a rom using TWRP an error pops up saying "failed to mount /persist' (Invalid Argument).
SOLVED- Flashing persist.img from twrp "Install Image" works.

Hi, please follow this setups and it should be fine .
If you run into errors flashing fastboot images to your device, edit the .bat files that came with it. Usually you want to edit "flash_all.bat"
For "Missmatching image and device":
Remove the lines highlighted in the screenshot from the file, save and try flashing it again.
For Antirollback Error:
Remove ALL lines ABOVE the highlighted lines in the screenshot from the file, save and try flashing it again.
Always make sure that you got the right image for your device. Removing check lines from these files can permanently brick your device if you use the wrong fastboot image.

Hi,
I am having a problem trying to relock my bootloader.
i am selling my g4, so needed to remove my custom rom, flash stock and relock my bootloader.
I downloaded and flashed via twrp the stock 8.1 ROM on the g4 plus page. ( stock rom in twrp format)
That went fine.
Then I booted into fastboot , and entered fastboot lock command fastboot oem lock
It said the android image was not valid?
So I then entered fastboot flashing lock
it rebooted fine to the stock android , but now the bootloader warning says ''your device has loaded a different operating system'', and thens boots 8.1.
DO you think I should go back anf flash stock rom ( not a twrp flashable version), using fastboot commands, ending with 'fastboot oem lock' ?
Just dont want to brick it, as it is now sold!
Many Thanks for any help

P.S. the TWRP I am using is a custom one ( i think )

THanks for the reply.
Strange, thought I had already updated this
I went back to stock firmware and decided to flash with fastboot all individual files.
At some point, I got the same ''verification failed' but the command line suggested flashing system, boot, and ( something else, cant remember) again.
i did this this, and this time, no errors occured, and I had a complete install, with a locked bootloader, and no bootloader warning screen.!
Yay - result
Thanks again for your advice - I will remember it for the future.
