I want to install custom ROM on my Zenfone 5.
Things you should know:
.. Phone OS completely corrupts unable to boot the device (even android logo also not appear)
.. It is not showing charging symbol also when connected to charger/usb
.. Phone never boots into recovery mode (it is just restarting(vibration)! and stay idle)
.. It has TeamWin recovery project that appear after 30 mins of charging (useful!!)
So, can anybody tells me how install custom ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5/orig-development/beta-cyanogenmod-12-1-tank0412-t3285392) please don't say boot into recovery mode and do some adb/fastboot commands it is not working (volume up+power or any combination). It is just showing one big red charging bar symbol without charging.. and some times TeamWin which may helpful because it has filemanager and I can browse but I don't know how to install with that.
If you have any ideas please share me..
Thanks
You can put rom on the external sdcard and install it after TWRP booting.
But i think that something wrong with bootloader on your phone so you should try to make unbrick.

Thanks for the answer..
Hard bricked device - Just like it's name, your device is dead. It behaves like a real brick. You can have no operation on pressing the power button.
So we can make a conclusion: soft bricked device can’t be defined as "BRICKED"; the hard bricked device is the real "DEAD & BRICKED", and it can't be unbricked. Sorry for the answer to how to unbrcik hard bricked Android phone.
This is the situation of my phone and whenever I flash a zip file from TWRP I'm getting following error..
"E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/.....zip'"
I'm googling this error but unable to get anything(trying some of the one plus one solutions to the similar problem).. Please help me..

It looks like you use TWRP by Knone which is broken a bit. So you should install TWRP by quanganh2627.
Try to flash this package via TWRP:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-Fin8UxrD6PNm1NSDNQQ3JqUkU/view?usp=sharing
It will install a stable TWRP.

Hi! Your zip file successfully installed but after that also I'm getting same error. Is there any file download problem (Checksum or like that) or do I have to restart my phone(No OS installed!)

Yes, I'm trying that but the problem here is I'm unable to flash TWRP now (Run the command prompt - wait for device - phone starts several times but only big red battery symbol without charging/usb cable showing red bar below - boot into installed OS) that's it without flashing the TWRP phone reboots and command prompt still waiting for device even device already booted.
Interestingly now the battery showing 100% directly (I don't know ! whether it is actual figure or something goes wronng!) but still my IMEI is empty and I want to install stock ROM on this device for this purpose.
Note: still power + volume up/down to goto recovery mode not working
Any help appreciated. Thanks!!

You bricked your device.
You should use unbrick method:
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=584672&st=460#entry33842670
DO NOT FLASH HYDROGEN ROMS ON HELIUM, OR YOU GONNA HAVE A HARDBRICK.
IN CASE YOU HAVE ONE, HERE IS THE SOLUTION.
This was tested with Xiaomi Mi Max 128GB helium and localized rom from xiaomi eu.
I am not responsible for bricked devices or anything else. So at your own risk:
1. Install official MiPhone drivers
2. Download and install MiFash beta.
3. Download and unpack TWRP for miflash: 32gb or 64-128gb thanks @Abdess76.
4. Download ROM for your device, I recommend to try this one. You can install RR/CM Rom as well.
5. Run MiFlash with admin rights.
6. Turn off the phone, plug the cable to PC and halfway to the phone.
7. At the same time press Volume + and Volume - and plug in the cable.
8. Refresh MiFlash phone should show up. (If it didn't then make sure you did it right and u got drivers)
9. Navigate to your unpacked TWRP and flash it.
10. Now, boot ur phone with volume up. It's a bit slow. If it's stuck on miui logo, just release button and wait.
From here start to pay more attention:
11. TWRP can ask for password, press cancel and allow modifications by moving slider.
If you just need ROOT and your current rom, skip to the step 16. Also there is a recovery from boot in system folder. If you won't remove it, recovery may be replaced with stock one after reboot. Keep it that way if you want OTAs.
12. Format data.
13. Enable MTP and put modified zip in your phone.
14. Go to mounts and unmount system **
15. Flash your rom.
16. Flash latest supersu.
17. Reboot the phone.
In case u got NO OS message, then it means that u probably ignored step 15.
Also first boot may take like 15-20 minutes, since eu rom is deodexed.
Just to be sure, after installation mount system partition and navigate to the /system folder using TWRP's file manager and make sure it's not empty.
* In my case system didn't install because script could mount system partition since it was already mounted.
P.S. In order to update, you need to install OTA for offical rom via TWRP. Then without rebooting flash SuperSU, and finally using TWRP's file manager navigate to system folder and delete file named recovery from boot. Doing so will keep root and recovery.
Thank you so much for the guide! I will try it tonite
Waiting for boot loader is just too long..
WOW!!!! Just, wow..... I can not believe it but it worked like a charm. It took me forever to figure out my issue with the drivers, but after solving that I followed you step-by-step. And, lo and behold, it WORKED! Note for other users, Twrp took about a minute or two to finally boot up and it took me personally about 15-20 minutes before MIUI 8 finally booted. Just wait it out and you should have the amazing results that Doom Slayer has so graciously provided you
THANK YOU!!!!
I just done following your guide and it works!!
For rooting, I tried 2 times before it works. I believe you missed out a step to mount back system before flashing supersu.
So in the future, how do we dirty flash? Start from step 13?
How about clean flash? Start from step 12?
Thank you once again for this great guide!!
You saved me a lot of time waiting for Bootloader approval.

Yeah, dirty flash is you keep your data and format system and caches .
Clean flash is u format data as well.
The thing is that u have root, and ur phone is also secured. It's linked to ur Mi account, while it's locked. It's better to keep that way
Theoretically If you will ignore steps from 12 to 16. (Maybe u can ignore data formatting too)
Then you can get a ROOT and TWRP on your current rom.
And also theoretically while on miui 8 rom ,u can try to unlock bootloader without waiting.
Try this manual.
I have followed these steps and bricked my phone, spent the last 24h trying to recover it no luck.
I got an error while in the process of flashing the rom at step 16, then tried again and phone went black, stopped responding.
It's not detected using adb or fast boot, it appears in device manager as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" or "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E", I have tried to flash again TWRP or the official ROM, it says success every time but the phone is still dead.
Could it be due to locked boot loader ?

Which rom did u flash, give the link please.
Are u sure it's for your version? It can be a broken file as well.
Does the device connects when u hold both volume buttons?
It's called emergency download mode, u can istall rom with miflasher.
There is a testpoint method also.
All u need is a pic from this post on http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=749580&st=700#entry51154086
U need to disconect battery, connect testpoint to battery and flash ur device with miflash.
After that let it charge, since this in your state phone consumes battery.
thanks for you answer, I flashed the MiMAXPRO EU ROM xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMAXPro_6.8.4_v8-6.0.zip (sorry as a new user not allowed to post a link yet)
When I hold both volume buttons the screen is still black but MI Flasher works with COM10, after flashing a ROM or TWRP again MIFlash says "success" but the phone is still dead and won't start up even after holding power button for a long time.
I'm happy to open the phone and try the method on the russian forum, I will try tomorrow hope it will start up

Don't worry about your phone, the testpoint method will work for sure.
But in order to prevent this kind of situations ,we need to determine the reason how did it happen and you need to help me with that one by answering following questions:
1) You have mentioned that you had an error 1st time.
I also had error which was cache related, and it's OK because that partition was just formatted. You tried to flash again... but did you unmount your system partition for second time?
2) What's the capacity of your internal storage?
3) Did you use internal or external storage? If external then I need the model and the file system that have been used on that storage.

Hello,
I managed to recover the phone, I installed a fresh windows 7 on another PC with only MI Flash Beta installed, device appeared as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" as usual and I flashed the china ROM. Not sure why it wouldn't start previously after flashing, maybe issue with drivers.
1) unfortunately I don;t remember the syntax of the error, it was after a few seconds of flashing but the process seemed interrupted, I even googled it but my browser history has been purged.
2) 64GB (Helium)
3)I used internal storage, copied the zip on the phone using MTP.
Might try to go through the process again this weekend.

Well, I guess system was mounted and it gived u the error,but formatted it.
hi to all of you. I am very interested by this thread. Here is the story. I received my brand new mi max helium this week but it was the chinese rom. I am in France and my country did not appear in the settings. So I wanted to flash a global rom. I plugged it to my pc in recovery mode and a window appeared said that there is an update. I clicked ok and after a while I got stuck in the mi logo bootloop.
Then from then I tried everything possible from several solutions here, but nothing worked. What I got is the mi logo without bootloop, but nothing more.
I get the message that the bootloader is locked, but I can't get it unlock if it is in this state.
What I can reach is the recovery mode and the fastboot mode. But nothing else worked, flash or anything.
That is why I am interested to flash a recovery, in order to flash a clean rom, etc..
I did what you, Doom Slayer, explains, but I could not get a twrp flash. It ends with "receiving hello packet" in mi flash, and every thing stopped.
If I cannnot install any recovery, I cannot flash a rom.
So please if you have any suggestion, it would be helpful. Thanks a lot.

Did you disable drivers signature?
Also some people have a better luck on windows 7, u can try a virtual machine.
If you can enter EDL mode, then you should be fine.
Unless Chinese already disabled it in a new update.
I would blame drivers. Make sure u got them correctly.
Updated tutorial.
Uploaded TWRP for helium, so you don't need to edit updater script anymore, since script will get correct model.
Now you can try to get root on your current rom and unlock bootloader without Xiaomi's confirmation.
People having helium with unlocked bootloader may also have problems installing roms from xiaomi eu, if they have TWRP from hydrogen.
You may update using my recovery.img from archive using fastboot, or TWRP(will also work for locked bootloader).

hi Doom. Thank you for reply. But what do you mean by " disable drivers signature". I did not do anything but install the drivers and when I am on what I think is EDL mode(screen isi black) the driver is recognized as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008(COM20).
Anyway, I will give another try and let you know. Thank you again.

I followed your guide and I could get the twrp installed. So I tried to install rom(following your link). It said rebooting in 5 seconds, and then nothing. The screen is black, no power anymore, no logo, no vibes, and no life at all.
I cannot get any more reaction from it. I plugged it to my pc, but nothing is connected. I was so happy with twrp working... Any idea?...
one more information I don't know if it can help, when I flashed first, I tried the "xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMAXPro_6.8.4_v8-6.0" and a message said "failed. This rom is for helium and this is hydrogen phone". Which is strange because mine is helium(4GB/128GB).
Then I tried with the "xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMAX_V7.5.6.0.MBCCNDE_v7-6.0" rom, and everything got ok, last message "success. The phone will reboot in 5 seconds", and from then, dead all over...

I've been very careful to install the helium twrp from this thread...

Since you aren't writing HOW you solved it, i will leave here my solution for other ppl
had this problem yesterday & solved it by myself.
u will need fastboot for this
1. Boot phone into fastboot (shut down completely, plug phone in to your pc while you're holding down the "VOL -" Button
2. now download this TWRP Recovery (https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/development/recovery-twrp-huawei-p9-lite-t3491847)
3. put the img file in the same folder as the "fastboot.exe"
4 go to the folder where your files are. hold shift and do a right click into your folder. Choose "Open Command Prompt here"
5. type in "fastboot devices" -- if your device is showing up then you can continue
6. type in "fastboot flash recovery FILENAME.img" (Change filename to the name of the recovery image)
7 If everything worked, shut down your phone.
8. Hold "Vol +" and the power button
The "untrusted device" screen will come. just pass it.
If everything worked and you're in the recovery then you can install every rom zip you want till ur phone works again
If something doesn't work or something is not clear then don't be afraid to ask
.... i hope i wrote everything right xD

I bricked my phone when trying to downgrade from 7.0. I have bootloader unlocked and can get into fastboot screen but when I flash the recovery i get "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)".
They say that P9 Lite drivers should be installed (usually installs when Hisuite detects the phone). Unfortunately, I'm using a new PC. Or correct me if I'm wrong.

Ok just figured it out thanks to this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/help/flash-recovery-failed-remote-command-t3555563
it looks like a bug that says bootloader is unlocked even if it isn't. So just perform another bootloader unlock and go back to fastboot screen. You should be able to flash images now.
I have the same problem:
"FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)"
Any solution for this problem? I Cant boot into OS (boot loop). Fastboot and recovery are possible.

Listen
Download the mena firmware, and then press and hold power button and volume down button it will force reboot your device, then your phone may get rebooted and go on black screen
Dont worry, take a deep breath and keep patience
And do the following steps
Install OST and follow the steps down here
The instructions will be for OST tool and for mena firmware but you can install Chinese varient too
Install OST tool
Now
1. Open ur directory, c:/program files x86/OST and replace the online update tool from there and delete the config file,
AND REMEMBER THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT,
2. Open online update tool from ur directory only, from c:/program files x86/OST only, donot start it from any shortcut created on desktop or from start menu, just start it from its original directory,
if it still gives error about microsoft error warning, try fresh replacing ur online update tool again from the zip
And start the program from there only, once it successfully started
3. Click next, then choose the firmware mena, that is
PLE-3320-0-00WW-A02.nb0 file your one could be CNxxxx) and put ur phone into bootloader,
For now what you need to do is connect your phone and keep holding your power button for a while till it switches off your device and leave the button once if it turned of before it get rebooted
It should automatically take you to boot loader or else try this step for 1-2 time again you will surely rebooted to bootloader
Once it boot to bootloader
click next button on OST, now the first time u may stuck on flashing splash file and ur phone could restarted
4. Follow all the same steps again
5. Start the tool again
The tool will surely give u error for Microsoft.net
Dont panic
Close it and replace the online update tool again
6. Remember no matter if u replace the file before error, it will give error for one time surely
7. Replace it again with online updating tool and the start it from the directory
8. Now Click next, then choose the firmware mena, that is
PLE-3320-0-00WW-A02.nb0 ( your one could be CNxxxx) file and put ur phone into bootloader
Same as above i told once to goto the bootloader by connecting phone and keep holding power button untin it get rebooted and release the power button just after the phone turns off and before it get rebooted.
9. Now it should be connected and click next this time your phone will get flashed successfully...if it give error again, then try one more time u will be successfully installed the mena firmware
I know its a long procedure but it will help you
If you can reboot to 9008 mod then tell me about that
I will give u another instructions for that
But first try the above method
Hit thanks button if you find this helpful
Happy flashing

Look every step is written, your phone will be recognised once you start ost tool
When u start the tool the ost will ask you to browse the firmware file with .nb0 extension
Then it will ask you to connect the phone
Now connect your phone
Then keep holding volume down and power button together, once your phone get turned off then it will show u that its been booted into bootloader or download mode, click next on ost tool and it will start flashing your device
Thats all

In twrp you can goto to power option and select download mode or bootloader
Thats all
With download mode you can simply flash your phone using OST tool

And you can apply update through OTA with stock recovery menu
And also you will get the oreo update if you do so

hi, i can't flash or update anything because i rooted my phone and making update will brick my phone : "10.After your phone rooted, you can reboot your phone. DO NOT INSTALL ANY OTA UPDATES OR YOUR PHONE WILL GET STUCK AT STOCK RECOVERY (However I've never tested Magisk on Nokia 6), but I’ll recommend you to disable automatic update in settings."

Man are you listening or what...
M again telling you follow all steps care fully
When OST tool will ask you to connect your phone then goto recovery mode in your phone and select power option and then select bootloader
When it will be booted to download mode connect your phone to pc and then select next button on OST tool into your pc
Flashing your phone will unroot your phone
Thats all it will start flashing and then you can install all the OTA with stock recovery
If you stuck on any step follow the steps for OST tool that i provided you earlier in this thread
And for OTA you can goto this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/how-to/guide-oreo-follow-steps-t3723776

i don't want to lose my root privileges thats the point
(or is it hard brick)
Hi,
A2017G
Started with marshmallow,
Unlocked bootloader
attempted to install Slim7
seemed to work but with some possible errors, (wouldn't sync with google... retrospect I should have looked elsewhere before...)
attempted in install stock rom
using
ZTE_A2017GV1.2.0B04_BootStack_by_tron1.zip
ZTE_A2017GV1.2.0B04_Stock_System_by_tron1.zip
which wouldn't boot
So I tried reinstall Slim7
then stock again,
then, like the noob that I am, I removed twrp with
ZTE_A2017GV1.2.0B04_Full_Stock_Reverter_by_tron1.zip
which installs stock recovery
so, now I have a stock rom that won't boot,
an unlocked bootloader
and stock recovery
Not sure what to do from here
thanks in advance for any assistance.
I can abd sideload and update from SD card, but everything I have fails signature verification.
edit: so frustrating trying to find that 1 zip

Just use MiFlash, that one's guaranteed to work. Read my DFU unbrick guide to know how to use it. Just skip the part where you have to disassemble the phone, since you can get to EDL mode by (with the phone off and the USB cable connected to the PC) holding both volume buttons and inserting the USB-C cable to the phone.
I did read your guide, was, hoping to avoid dismantling it...
I tried pressing all 3 buttons.
Am I understanding the procedure correctly:
[phone switched off] + usb-C cable connected to PC only
MiFlash running at this point??
Hold both volume keys in and in insert Cable to Phone
at this point is the phone supposed to switch on?
At no point am I supposed to press the power button?
fyi: I will try different combinations, is great to have a solution, thank you.
Ah.... ok... so, the phone will display nothing, rely on the sound of PC and/or the device manager check and/or hit refresh on miflash
Fyi to anyone, if you have axon7toolkit installed and thus can't install a second version of MiFlash, open up the toolkit and hit 7 (unlock bootloader) to fire up MiFlash... or just go to C:\XiaoMi\XiaoMiFlash
the FULL_EDL file I have produces a couldn't find script Error when loading into MiFlash
so far when attempting to flash all zips
I have started MiFlash with admin
unzipped FULL_EDL file to a folder in root C:\ and ensured there are no spaces in address.
Every time / Every file produces couldn't find script error when loaded into MiFlash
when I attempt to flash the file it says cannot receive hello packet and then times out with an error
Tried disabling anti-virus/firewall, still same error
upgraded MiFlash to 2017.4.24.0 ( older 2016 is included with axon7toolkit), this removes the couldn't find script error, but still not receiving a hello packet, gunna fiddle with the phone as I'm pretty sure the error is coming from there
YES!
rebooted phone, turned off, restarted into EDL, flashed the stock rom from zte site... is in chinese... but it works. Thank you Thank you
so adventure over, after all that I am back to 6.0.1...

I got it from here: http://www.ztedevice.com/support
selected:- United Kingdom > Mobile Phone > Axon 7
it offers a file "AXON 7(ZTE A2017G) SD card software package(328540B2634ZTE A2017GV1.0.0B11)"
which hints at being compatible with A2017G... but is A2017V and is chinese, although you can change the language in settings there is still plenty here and there, plus chinese bloatware
and No, I didn't get cell signal.
I've gone back to Marshmellow, I will try again, didn't think it would be so different/difficult... Although wow at MiFlash.
FFS!!!! Relocked bootloader and bricked it!!! there should be a warning!
you gotta laugh,
I am a bit livid, I know the guides come with disclaimers, however, you'd think it would be an obvious important warning to make... DO NOT RELOCK YOUR PHONE.
FFS!

You probably wiped out both IMEIs, now you relock out of the blue... Go to my DFU unbrick guide and stop doing dumb stuff :silly:

... after I finally got it working again (thanks for the assist), I thought relocking it was just making it secure again. I been rooting/unrooting and swapping out roms since the galaxy s2, who'd think you can't unlock and relock... I do think there should be warnings as it is too easy a mistake to make... lmao stop doing dumb stuff you start first
My phone is insured so I'm not overly fussed, but others will be less fortunate.
