Hello to everyone,
I received a system notification this morning which was telling me that there was a new software update for the Zenfone 3 Max. So I've clicked on it to update the system, and, during the update, something went wrontg and it "crashed", rebooting in a strange korean (?) screen:
Now I can't boot properly the Zenfone and if I try to move inside the screen it just changes some english text from eMMC or FM to BT or GPS. It's like it is doing a device check and something isn't working.
It can't be turned off, so I just let the battery go dead to see if this would fix the issue.
I've charged it while it was switched off, and after a couple of minutes it turned on with the same korean (?) screen. I've also tried the hard reset by keeping pressed the power on button, but it only went off.
The last thing I've tried is to connect it via USB on my laptop while it is in this strange screen and checked that is recognised by the ADB. I've never unlocked the bootloader or ever rooted this model, so the response of the command "adb devices" is a model and the text "Unauthorized".
Is it something that I can actually do? I'd like to try an hard reset or force it to go in recovery mode and try to reinstall the firmware... but since the device is "unauthorized" I'm not sure that it will let me flash the firmware...
Do you have any advice on how to handle this situation?
Thanks in advance
(I do apologize for my grammar mistakes)
My English is really really bad, so try to understand this
Frst if ur phone is hang or stock in any ways u can reboot or power it off by pressing the power button for atleast 10 sec. Press and hold.
Second u can reinstall the firmware in any case even if ur phone is dead.
Frst u need to install the usb driver
https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=...AFIAVgC&v=y-oDWXbhiC0&mode=NORMAL&app=desktop
Then u can reinstall the firmware using the following files
https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PL4PNn1kmbOalk-kuEUO3hrJWA9hOAzl9Z&v=rh2m1Pgof2s and u need the latest firmware updates in zip.
U can get from here
https://www.asus.com/ph/Phone/ZenFone-3-Max-ZC520TL/HelpDesk_Download/
I hope u can figure it out.
We have the same phone model so it should work for you.

First of all, thank you for the explanation, as far as I've searched this seems to be the "factory mode" screen of the asus zenfone max 3 with the chinese language setted... And the fact is that this mode is used for test purposes only, in fact if I randomly choose any option it just seems to test a random phone function. Anyway, I've tried to reboot it by choosing the 8th option, which is supposed to reboot the phone normally, and it kept on going in that screen again. I've also tried to reboot by forcing the reboot via (Vol Down + Power) buttons together.. and for my bad luck it still resets in this "factory mode".
I watched the video and not sure about it because I'm not familiar with SP Flash Tool: does my zenfone needs to have the bootloader unlocked? or it should have been rooted? Will I be able to flash the firmware while the phone is in the status, even if in ADB devices it is shown as "Unauthorized" ?
I'm asking all these questions because I've never done any firmware operations on this smartphone, I've only made ordinary system updates.
Thanks in advance for your patience and your attention!
Pressing volume down + power is going to that screen. I dont know if Chinese or Korean
Pressing volume up + power key for default recovery mode screen,
Press and hold the power key is for normal boot.
I dont know if zen3max need a bootloader unlock.
Because im able to install a custom recovery in my zen3max and my phone is rooted and im able to install back the stock recovery so i dont get any trouble Everytime i received a notification update.
Well if u r worried. Get another smartphone and use the google translator with the camera to translate that Chinese language on ur zenfone 3 max. Maybe u can find the format option or clear cache blah blah blah.

When you said that volume down + power key is the combo of keys to press to go in that screen... it kinda rang me a bell: recently my smartphone fell and it got damaged on the right edge, causing the volume down button to get inside the cover, and now it is like unpushable... I've never powered off my zenfone until I had to do this system update. So I thought that probably there isn't anything wrong with the firmware, it just keeps going in factory mode each time I try to power it on due to the fact that the volume down seems to be pressed all the time. So I decided to contact the ASUS support team to give it to them and let them repair the buttons.
Thanks for the info!
so must be thats the problem boot looping in to that screen because the volume down is broken. I guess.
Well thats the best u can do to fix it.

Hi guys,
Been a samsung user since S2, unfortunately ive made people bring me their devices so i can polish them, if not fix.
I got an i9505 at the moment with a very strange issues:
It boots up, hangs on the boot logo.
It boots in Download Mode, but volume up button wont work, i've opened the device and yet the button was fine.
Sometimes just connecting it to the PC using USB, the device vibrates as if it's turning on, though it vibrates every 2-3 seconds. Device is Off btw.
Recovery Mode wont boot, Home Button + Volume Up + Power Button until the thing vibrates, i release the power button, and it just hangs there. Makes me doubt it is not even reaching the point where it knows where the recovery is. However, i got it in to the blueish "booting recovery..." once, but it hanged there as well.
Am clueless here, (re)searching usually brings me near the answer, but it hasnt, i hope the answers here will do it for somebody else.
Edit: since i am doing this out of pure compassion, i have no idea what is loaded inside .

Flash a stock rom base in your country mate via odin and you can download it from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ , then once your done downloading the file, Boot into Download mode (Power+VolumeDown) , Open Odin select PDA /AP , Connect both cables (Wait until you get a blue sign in Odin)and flash away.If you encounter any issues with the firmware (Any FC, Bootloop etc)Boot into recovery mode (power+vol up),Choose to wipe/factory reset. (THIS WILL ERASE ALL OF YOUR DATA INCLUDING YOUR INTERNAL SD CARD! Then choose reboot and you should be good to go! Have a nice day
Mate, is there a way to flash through Odin without pressing the Vol Up button, cause i am not aware of that?
I cant get past the first point of download mode, to actually enter you need to press Vol up.

Hence the thread. There was no other option left.
I usually do this to gain the knowledge for future use, is this a common death for the S4. the user that had it is definitely not a flasher, what couldve gone wrong?

Hello guys, I'm new here and I hope you can help me out.
Let me make the story short.
My phone's screen broke and I replaced.
In that processes I lost the rubber that stick
to the panel of the volume. I was fine with that since my phone
in vibrate mode and I really don't use ring tone in my daily basis.
I tried to download Android 5.0 lollipop and flash it.
How did I get there? well since I did not have a volume button,
I downloaded an app that restarted my phone and got me into
fastboot mode without the key (I did got me where I wanted).
Then the problem was that in the middle of writing the .img
the freaking cheap bastard micro usb unplugged!!!
BAMM!! phone now is bricked, I cannot get into recovery/fastboot mode
since I cannot press the volume key and my phone is bricked.
I tried going through fastboot mode via my computer again,
but the computer doesn't recognize the device since it still
looping there forever at the google logo. I try installing USB
DRIVERS to see if I could do some "magic" haha. Got
error "This device cannot start ..." And still at the same problem.
I know I can get back to my recovery if order the part for the volume
key, I ordered the part to replace it, but trust me I was 3 weeks without
my phone and now this problem
Is there any way that I can get to fastboot mode to factory reset my phone
without volume key with a bricked forever looping a "google" logo ? :fingers-crossed: :fingers-crossed:
I appreciate any help.

Im not sure why your text is like this? But paraphrasing buddy comes a long way
Just hold the power button, until it dies, or just let it die in general since your volume button (You only need Vol down and Power) to power it off completely. Since your Volume keys are gone, the best solution is to wait for the replacement before doing so, unless you can get the contact keys to trigger the Volume button, you're in a loss atm. No OS or Volume keys means you can't trigger ADB commands or boot into fastboot. Just wait it out I guess?

Because recovery takes longer to boot thus it will reboot before it enters recovery.

Dear XDA friends,
i always hoped not to be one of those guys, who f****d up their phones to the point of no return. I really screwed up this time. Well, here I'am writing you about my screw up.
I unlocked, rooted, flashed and repaired all kinds of android phones in the past years, never without problems, but I could always fix it somehow. Not so much this time.
Now I'm stuck at Bootscreen with the Zuk logo. I even have problems pinging the phone via ADB.
Sorry for my noobish question guys. Any help would be much appreciated.

I got this translated from a chinese website:
For fastboot mode:
The phone turned off; keep the connection turned off the data cable to the computer, press: [volume down key] [Power Key] waiting to enter the fastboot mode.
For recovery:
Turn off the device
Press and hold Power key
When vibrates Volume UP key + Volume Down key about 10 seconds
Release all key when Android logo appear then you will see Android System Recovery
Use Volume key to select Menu
Use Power key to Confirm
Can you enter any of these 2 modes?

Does anyone know where can i find the scatter file , MTK ROM for zuk z1, i would like to try the SP flasher tool. Or if anyone have any idea how to solve this issue on lenovo zuk z1,pls. help.tnx
Can y get to fastboot ?
im facing the same problem after i had the stupid idea to lock the bootloader again, before that i flashed the phone successfully with the cm mod recovery and cm 13.
Has anyone found a solution to this ? or do i have to send it back ?
What i did exactly :
I locked the bootloader again and just to test it i tried flashing the recovery again , ofcourse it didn't work which was what i wanted.
Afterwards i rebootet the bootloader with sudo fastboot -i 0x2b4c reboot
now im stuck in a bootloop that i cant even stop , in other words i cant turn my phone off nor can i access the recovery or fastboot
Im feeling so stupid that i locked it again .... i will try to get into recovery after my phone ran out of battery but so far it looks quite bad...does anyone know if i will get a replacement even though it was my fault ? ( i don't need to say that it was my fault ..and the bootloader is now locked again )
UPDATE::
I found a promising thread about this problem, i will report back here if i was successful.

Please help , same problem
I am facing same issue too from 2 days. I didnt even try to flash custom roms or play with boot loader or recovery or anything. All of a sudden my phone entered boot loop. After two three bootloops phone is entering "12 apps optimized of 230 apps" mode, completing optimizing all apps and then failing to start apps, entering boot loop again.
Effort made so far to fix -
1) Went to recovery and cleared cache - didnt work
2) Went to recovery and did factory reset - factory reset did happen but boot loop didnt stop, I realized that factory reset happened because now its saying optimizing 120 apps instead of my 230 apps during the bootloop.
3) Went to recovery, Entered fast boot mode but not able to connect to PC. Fastboot devices is not showing anything. I made sure proper driver is installed after researching on XDA.
4) Went to recovery, Tried "Install update". Didnt install anything but browsed through folder structure and realized my data is intact
It will be great if someone can help me atleast recover my data before I handover phone to service center for fixing boot loop issue.

Then u will be getting recovery Twrp mode .. then connect it to pc and u will see internal srorage in pc...now u have to copy any rom to the phone and install it via Twrp ... Thats all
Sorry For Re-posting Here. This is Solution
Why this is happening ?
Due to Dirty Flash from Zui or from COS/CMOD but suddenly Bootloader gets locked
May be Due to Some Custom Rom which only works with Old Bootloader ( And you are on latest 2.5 Zui QPST Flash)
Reasons are many. I also did same mistake. I flashed ZUI 2.5 using QPST then unlock bootloader using official site installed twrp after wiping cache system and data , Installed Lineage 0S JAN Build then without rebooting installed Lineage Nightly build (Latest) with Gapps After rebooting Phone goes into Restart endless loop on ZUK Logo. Blink and Vibrate .. After 1hr I figured it out but its 5am So slept.
HOW TO FIX ENDLESS REBOOT ON ZUK Logo ?
-> Identity vibrate patterns (Press Power Key I count 6- 7 Vibration pattern ) After long Vibrate immediately remove finger from power key.
->Once its Done (Phone completely off)
Download QPST and Official COS QPST from this Link https://goo.gl/InWQji OR https://goo.gl/iqrnlI (I am personally Very Thankful to D tech Terminal for posting Wonderful video on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Dl6JkAVpuM
<- please install all drivers and software.->) @ankurpandeyvns Thanks bro.
Main Task is here and Lots of Patience is required and You also need to be very Blazing fast to achieve this.
-Once you download and install Qpst open Qfil
-Now press Volume Up only and connect USB (Just press POWER KEY only for 1 sec It will vibrate and connect)
-Without waiting hit Download button.
-Voila It will start flashing your phone again and Hence Your phone is now Revive..
-Once Revive You can use it to again flash custom Rom or stick to stock Rom if you want.
Keep Flashing !!!
Patience is Key here. And Don't lose hope.
:good:
EDITED:
While connecting to pc and by pressing Volume key you also need to press Power key for 1 sec or 2 sec until it gets detected. Thanks addicted777 (for tip)

how to stop boot loop ??????
can you provide videos how to stop boot loop ??????
Hello to all here at xda im a new member and im hoping someone can help me,
I recently bought a yotaphone 2 from tinydeals in china and its model
P05-Yota which I think is china model YD-205 or 206
I wanted to upgrade the firmware to the latest firmware and I think I made two big mistakes.
First when I downloaded the yotaflasher software for windows I chose the eu firmware on option 2 and clicked to download it.also I dont think I put usb debugging on my phone.i put my phone into diwnloading mode and connected the phone to my pc.my pc recognised the phone and I clicked on option 1 in yotaflasher to flash mobile.
The flash process started but failed on most of the things it was supposes to get access to, my phone reatarted and now its on constant boot loop which shows the android logo.i can boot phone back into downloading mode but nothink else
I have read that as my phone is in boot loop and can still boot into downloading mode its soft bricked and not hard bricked so im guessing thats good news.
This is my own fault and im not very experienced in all this flashing and I fing yotaflasher hard to understand compared to odin ive used on samsung phones before
Please can anyone help a complete novice to revive his mobile
I would be greatful for any help and instructions and dont know if im allowed to do this on this site so I appologise to moderators if im not, but anyone that can help me get my phone working again I will transfer £20 to their paypal account as I would appreciate this help alot
Im sorry for being a noob and hope to hear from someone soon
Thx

Sorry for my very, very bad english.
Try to reboot your phone in recovery mode.
Press power button for a long time (20 - 30 seconds or more) and, as soon as the screen turn off, press and hold the Volume Up + Power button simultaneously for about 10 seconds. Then, choose wipe data and factory reset.
Try several times if that does not work at once.
I made a big mistaske too and I solved the problem but with several attemps.
Good luck !
I appreciate your help

Just a quick question, yotaflasher is a software im not familiar with and im not sure if im using it right.
Do I start yotaflasher and then type 2 and enter tochoose region.then type the number for the firmware I want and press enter.then when its finished downloading it seems ro freeze and I cant type any key to start flash so I have to exit software then restart it.
Do I then just type 1 and enter to start flashing phone then thats it or do you have to type proper commands into this software ro get it to work as im not sure if im using it right
I will be home in couple of hrs to test out what you told me
Thx

Sorry again for my english...
1. without any software, reset your phone : turn off your phone (or, if it's not possible, press power button for a long time :20 - 30 seconds or more - and, as soon as the screen turn off) --> press and hold the Volume Up + Power button simultaneously for about 10 seconds. Then, choose "wipe data and factory reset" and wait...
2. After the reboot, put usb debugging on your phone
3 . install yotaflasher (so you also have the drivers on your computer).
4. put your phone on download mode : turn off your phone - then, press and hold the Volume down + Power button simultaneously for about 10 seconds
5. open yotaflasher on your computer and connect your phone (wich is on download mode)
6. chose the last EU firmware (option 2) and download it - after, click on option 1 and flash your mobile. Wait the necessary time without touch anything and, after maybe 10 ou 15 minutes, your phone will reboot.
We have the same phone from Tinydeals and I'm now on lolipop (after the flash).
Good luck !
usb debugging is the problem

Hi there mate thx for the step by step guide but I think I know what the problem is.i originally didnt put it into usb debugging mode when I originally tried to flash the firmware.now as the mobile is stuck in boot loop and cant load up as normal I cant switch on usb debugging.is there a way through fastboot or that adb program.im just learning about these programs to flash mobiles with but if there is no way to enable usb debugging through any software I fear im screwed

Yes, I know, don't worry, I bug my phone too - it's why you have, first, to reset your phone... try to put it on recovery mode, it's the only solution (I think).
--> Press the power button for a long time (20 - 30 seconds or more) and, as soon as the screen turn off, press and hold the Volume Up + Power button simultaneously for about 10 seconds. Then, you will see a menu : choose "wipe data and factory reset".
Try several times if that does not work at once.
