Unbrick Zenfone 2 ze550ml/ze551mlTutorial how unbrick (save) a cable suspended Zenfone 2 (lost bootloader) absolutely can not use or connect ADB recovery, fastboot to perform the operating system reload. Have to say this is the measure of last resort that you can perform with the Zenfone his second before the machine is required to submit to ASUS support.
How to know that your Zenfone 2 is bricked ?
>> Device can not start, only logo ASUS quite awhile now off. If you use keyboard shortcuts to access cluster bootloader (droidboot), display the cable connection icon which is usually called "the hanging cable."
Device can not connect to your computer regardless of whether in any mode (including ADB, fastboot), this leads to not be able to use ADB fastboot.
Cause: Loss bootloader
Damaged in a bootable partition.
-Most Of the cases are droidboot.img can flash the wrong file by other files as boot.img, recovery.img or get confused by any other machine on the line.
-Case Rare than natural bootable partition defective (not by you impact) or in some cases droidboot.img flash file into the machine suddenly collapsed sources can also occur.
The issue of "hanging cable screen" on Zenfone 2:
-Not Like Zenfone front lines, as his son Zenfone 6 was holding here, he was not sure the cable hanging screens you skipped bootloader, I can still access the bootloader, normal recovery. While on Zenfone 2, once encountered this phenomenon, make sure the machine's bootloader has been lost, this time ADB and fastboot recovery is meaningless.
How to unbrick?
This section explains how unbrick, you do not need sports references may skip and go to parts made right. You are using the Zen series (fone / pad) platform using Intel chips may also refer to similar application for its line, of course, will not be quite the same.
-When Your units with brick Zenfone 2, meaning lost bootloader (in this case), you can not lead to any use fastboot mode to flash the ROM file anymore. Typically, in this case, then one would have to use some special tools to be able to load directly into memory (memory) of the lower level as the bootloader using box, the second in the testpoint or the second machine sprung straight into memory ... However, for the mobile Intel chips sales are done with relatively simple parts, they provide a driver called IntelSocUSB available, when necessary Equipment using bootloader, you could still lose the connection with your computer via lower IntelSoc mode for use in emergencies.
IntelSoc edge-side connection, you also need to use additional software xFSTK Downloader, the tool support is simply loaded bootloader instead of using complex command lines. Unlike the methods used img file, which is when you already have a bootloader, as available "basis" can thus use only 1 img file. In contrast when used xFSTK Downloader you must have 2 file dnx_fwr.bin and ifwi.bin firmware, bootloader file same file simultaneously in the form of a new bin can be loaded into the device.
-Once You have successfully loaded bootloader can easily use tools like ADB fastboot nap ROM or ASUS FlashTool to bring "life" to return to the their Zen2 then.
Perform:
You must perform sequential follow the steps indicated below, a process steps will include many small, you also need to do before the next turn. Since there are many different levels and its brick is just so normal users can not list them all the way, I will try to extend to all cases that may occur, you just follow the sequence guidance, if encountered other problems please cmt for further discussion.
Step 1: Install the driver and connect mode IntelSocUSB IntelSoc
-This Is the driver help with a computer connected to your Zen2 IntelSoc mode as mentioned above. Because of this special driver, on some machines running windows 8 / 8.1 / 10 you can not install the normal way is that to add a little more tricks, not too hard, I'll complete list Under.
1.1 - Install IntelSocUSB
-First, Please disconnect the machine Zenfone your 2.
-Download Driver IntelSocUSB here:
drive.google.com/file/d/0B2oMRhweQ4CHbURUNk1ZTHI2Mjg/view?usp=sharing
If you're using Windows 7:
Right-click the file -Click iSocUSB-Driver-Setup-1.2.0 choose "Run as Administrator".
-Make The installation steps as usual until you see a small window "Windows Security" requires authentication settings then click on the "install this driver software anyway"
-After This step, the driver installation is finished, continue to section 1.2 for connecting IntelSoc regime.
If you're using Windows 8 / 8.1:
-On Keyboard press Windows + I to show charm bar bar in the right corner, click on the item setting.
Choose "Change PC Settings" to enter the PC Settings.
Choose the General tab and navigate to Advanced Startup section, continue click Restart now.
This force will reboot windows and allows you access to the advanced mode, in turn selected the following items: Troubleshoot - -Startup Settings Advanced Options and then click the Restart button to restart the computer.
-Continue Press 7 on the keypad to access the installation mode allows drivers.
Right-click the file -Click iSocUSB-Driver-Setup-1.2.0 choose "Run as Administrator".
-Make The installation steps as usual until you see a small window "Windows Security" requires authentication settings then click on the "install this driver software anyway"
-After This step, the driver installation is finished, continue to section 1.2 for connecting IntelSoc regime.
If you're using Windows 10:
-On Keyboard press Windows + I or click Start, select Settings.
-In The Settings window, select the Update & security.
-Continue Choose recovery and click "Restart now".
-When The computer has access to the Advanced screen, how similar startup with Windows 8 above.
-After This step, the driver installation is finished, continue to section 1.2 for connecting IntelSoc regime.
1.2 Connect with computer IntelSoc Zenfone 2:
After driver installation step above 1.1 as successful you are in a window like this, do not click Next yet. Now you must complete step IntelSoc connection before installing xfstk downloader.
-The Device manager: right-click the Computer icon, select Manager, find the device manager.
-In Device manager, to IntelSOC, click the down side, you only see the present only one item is Intel SoC driver.
Ash back to the Zenfone 2, shutdown, press simultaneously the key "source" + "volume +", of course you will see a screen hanging cables.
-Connect to your computer via USB cable, to standard Intel SOC driver position, wait a few seconds if the current add an item immediately below another MOOREFIELD new devices is successful.
-If You have not been, the test performed as follows: turn off the machine, plug the cable into the computer, press the power button until the device vibrates slightly, then release.
-This Is a required step to complete before performing next.
Ash back window IntelSOC earlier installation, click Next and Finish.
1.3 Installing xfstk-downloader:
Download xFSTK Downloader v1.7 here:
drive.google.com/file/d/0B2oMRhweQ4CHbDNQdy1jVUJFcEE/view?usp=sharing
-Download And install with a setup similar to IntelSoc Driver guided above is, simple installation process does deserve to be noted.
-That's It step 1.
Step 2: Use the Downloader to reload the bootloader xFSTK
This is a tool to support the new bootloader loaded into memory chip straight soc IntelSoc mode.
XFSTK load Downloader v1.7:
drive.google.com/file/d/0B2oMRhweQ4CHbDNQdy1jVUJFcEE/view?usp=sharing
-The Necessary files:
ZE551ML: drive.google.com/file/d/0B2oMRhweQ4CHR21YaDdXdUNlOGs/view? Usp = sharing
ZE550ML: drive.google.com/file/d/0B2oMRhweQ4CHcHg4WXJQckFGOTA/view? Usp = sharing
After downloading the necessary files extract to a separate folder 3 file dnx_fwr.bin, ifwi.bin, bootloader.
-Open XFSTK Downloader, first passed MRD tab A0 / B0 + A0 + CRC as shown Moor.
-Then Go to Options to change the value in the Value section Override Flag GP 0x80000807. Click OK is complete initial preparation.
This force remains connected to the phone cable.
Begin the process of loading the bootloader:
+ First in turn selected item Firmware FW 2 cells and IFWI DNX 2 dnx_fwr.bin and ifwi.bin file.
+ Section IFWI: skip the first box, in the box looking to file droidboot_dnx.img.POS_sign.bin Image OS, here is our bootloader files.
Now let's go to the Device Status section below, this section shows the number of connected IntelSoc, you need at least one device is connected. If in step 1 you do succeed, make sure xFSTK Downloader also get equipment, if not retry the connection cable.
Just click on the download button to start Begin implementation.
-Here You may see error faild continuity however kept calm to software performance. Until now informed SUCCESS as shown below, then congratulate you, our problem is almost solved.
The process is loaded bootloader successful restart when you will not see another familiar ASUS screen but instead is a 4 color, just like some TV stations stop broadcasting on TV.
Shortcuts in bootloader test can not yet see. Now you can load the ROM via fastboot mode / droidboot and know.
-If Not know how to do this, see step 4. If the flash ROM or flash via fastboot not finished still not on the operating system, your computer would be heavier than normal, continue to step 3.
-Note: Hanging cable phenomenon will appear again if you are not successful flash ROM. Each drawing shows the cable hanging out, you need to perform this step 2.
Step 3 (if applicable): Using ASUS FlashTool reloaded raw files.
Here's how to load ROM via fastboot mode is considered as the most supportive.
Download ASUS FlashTool 1.0.0.14: the previous version can not support Zenfone 2.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4uMV7GwfDAEYm5RWTFydXZWOTQ
Download firmware for ZE551ML 2.20.40.194 raw format here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0v_vGzEh1G5WU1QTzlTOExIekU/view
Version for ZE550ML 2.20.40.155 raw format here: https://yadi.sk/d/XAUyR8eRtuKdA
Installing ASUS FlashTool resembles IntelSoc describes how to install the above, you also need to fully implement the steps before the installation on your Windows 7.8.10 will not repeat again.
-To Phone droidboot mode / fastboot, connected computer, enable ASUS FlashTool.
ASUS FlashTool -On screen, in the model of your selected device (ZE551ML / ZE550ML). Part wipe data option. Click the button next to wipe data section to find raw files downloaded above.
Below current frame connected devices, if not try to wait for a few minutes, plug in the cord, if not you are required to reinstall the driver IntelUSB (this does not lead his popularity and link again).
-Click Select your device and press the Start button to begin implementation.
Firmware loading process long-range 5 to 10 minutes. Then the machine will automatically boot into the operating system, if successful, congratulations to you.
Note: It is possible at this stage you will not succeed with the process of loading raw files, the software itself runs completely without any notice. If this process occurs too 30p then your job is forced to withdraw cable.
-Mark Whether the file import process may not succeed but at least Flash Tool ASUS sent commands resize partitions, if the command is successful, then the partition on the device has been fixed and you was able to load the ROM type fastboot okay, do the next step 4 preview successful offline.
Step 4: Use a rechargeable Fastboot img file.
The last pitch to bring life back to the two of you here Zenfone.
-There Bootloader means you can use fastboot to flash ROM img format already.
Img -Download the latest ROM for Zenfone 2 here:
-Choose The appropriate ROM version (ZE551ML / ZE550ML) and download all the files in that directory, links to download: mega.nz/#F! K4MHiAgL! DVuOKeH3eokcwPSNI79ffw! Xwc0BJrY
-Use Manager winrar or any unzip the archive file will be system.img system.zip
-Copy Boot.img, droidboot.img, recovery.img, system.img in the folder C: \ adb adb install directory or your.
-file SplashImage here:
fshare.vn/file/2KIL3GQ1NZN2
General similarity copied to the folder with the other files.
Open ADB made the following statement:
Code:
fastboot flash splashimage splashimage.img
fastboot fastboot flash droidboot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot

My another Guide to Recover Fastboot of bricked Zenfone 2 ze551ml
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-recover-fastboot-bricked-zenfone-t3284337
Thank u very much for this tutorial
Z008
Raw firmware link added for ze550ml users
is it normal for my "MOOREFIELD" to appear temporarily?
Should i continue despite my detect = 0 since it appear temporarily?
I have a few corrections that I have to figure out myself in order to get through, I hope these are a translation problems and can be solved easily.
First of all, the links for Z008 (raw image) is misspelled and contains bad characters (the "*"s). And the Fastboot image link is misspelled too or broken, either of them, therefore, I had to look in the index for those.
Then, The Asus Flash Tool AFT the version provided is 1.0.0.7 which is very old and doesn't support our phones, then I had to look up for the newest one (or even compatible) which is 1.0.0.14. Then the flashing instructions in xFSTK are confusing because there are 3 files to flash (explained better on the other post) FW DnX is the Dnx, IFWI is IFWI, OS DnX is blank and OS Image is the droidboot. That is much simpler.
The part of the explanation of how to use the AFT is almost unredeable. It's just simple as choosing the model, choose to Wipe Data (yes), look for the raw image, selecting the phone with its serial number (btw, the installation of the drivers was a little messy since the AFT Install couldn't install them).
Don't misunderstand this reply, this guide was very useful to me, but I correct this for the ones that encounters this problem. I succeed unbricking my zenfone after it went to the USB Logo by itself (I still don't know why would this happens since I didn't touch the fastboot, but it clearly shows that this cases could happen to anyone).

I will try to update all the links and make my post more clear as soon as possible .
Thanks for doing corrections in my post .
Unfortunately, I've encountered some other issues after I succesfully unrbricked my Zenfone. I must say that I quite step away from some of the steps since after I flashed the RAW Image file on the AFT I successfully boot into system. That means I skipped the flashing of the other img droidboot, boot, recovery and system images provided. Then, when I tried to flash TWRP back again, I noticed that even though the flash was succeed, trying to boot in recovery mode lead me back to fastboot mode, pointing out that recovery partition is still damaged. Maybe I need to flash the RAW again to repartition, but since the phone works now I don't want to touch anything again. I can still flash things through fastboot though, the Xposed, the root image, etc. But it seems like I don't have a recovery functional.
The sources for this are still very poor and we need to bring it all the things that the Russian, Vietnam and Chinese forums were posting all this time about the ubrick thing, maybe there's something that I've missed.
Did anyone try to download the system images from that Mega page? I found the link somewhere but the compressed files seems to be corrupted (for the Z008), I would appreciate if anyone else can confirm this.

it checks for serial no. of device n fails
so i tried to flash twrp.img using fastboot but got an error "flash_cmds error!"
plz help me guys
As this is an error that was not reported when I was reading through all the foreign forums, I have to state the obvious since I don't have a particular answer.
I assume at this point that you have all the proper drivers, therefore the AFT shouldn't recognise the device. So... what I think is, is your phone in fastboot mode? (I mean the fastboot mode with the 4 colours instead of the ASUS Logo). Maybe there could be a failure in the process of unbricking with the xFSTK downloader.

you can't use fastboot to flash img file because some partitions still have error.
You must use AFT, try check your cable and run AFT as Admin.

it show the 4 colours because it have no splashimage
yes its in fastboot mode

Hi, does this lock my bootloader?
EDIT3 15/08/2018 - Some links broke. I found a better way to get the files: go to this thread (RAW firmware collection) by RealYoti here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/z008-z00a-z00d-z00x-raw-fw-collection-t3448966
All the files are here and they will never expire
In case of problem I still have the files on my computer, maybe one day I will upload them myself on my web server
EDIT2 07/06/2017 - I updated links. + INFO: My ZE550ML phone bricked again, but this time with no USB logo and no vibration at boot. The only tutorial that worked for me is the one from Tech YouTubers channel (click to go to their YouTube channel). Please check their tutorials, in case they made a new one. Try multiple tutorials, for me only an older one worked: this one! (during the video tutorial, I was somehow blocked after flashing img files: black screen. But, I managed to run my own guide again, and this time it worked! The video says to flash ZE551ML xFSTK file on ZE550ML device, and flash ZE550ML xFSTK file on ZE551ML device. It allowed me to boot my device on fastboot but it prevented me to boot Android after flashing the correct ZE550ML img, so I had to flash, normally without reversing files, xFSTK ZE550ML config on my ZE550ML to make it work, then use my guide. good luck You can also try directly my "standard" tutorial below, or trying it after trying the Tech YouTuber's one, hoping finally you'll unbrick your device
EDIT 03/09/2016: Updated RAW links, taken from amtech.vn. and new ZIP files from ASUS.com
Hello, just after solving my problem I wrote a guide of everything I did to unbrick my ZenFone 2 ZE550ML (bricked after installing OTA update for Marshmallow Beta).
This is a "duplicate" of my last post on this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3405331
because I want to help people who are trying to unbrick their ZenFone 2 ZE550ML or ZE551ML
Here is a detailed guide of everything I did to unbrick a Marshmallow ZE550ML stuck on USB logo with lost bootloader without losing any data or setting, everything like before bricking in my case (except settings of some non-system apps, can't figure out why) :
(Note: I recommend you to charge your ZenFone for a few hours as soon as you'll get fastboot menu at step 1, so it will not shutdown... Even if it's not turning on the orange LED, it's charging )
(WARNING : these are the steps I had to do in order to unbrick MY phone without losing data and installing Marshmallow. For your phone some steps might be unnecessary, if you're lucky... I know this is a very long guide but I had to do this in MY case)
(The whole guide is a "modified" version of this guide by Summit007s)
Step 1. Flash basic bootloader with xFSTK Downloader to boot fastboot
I had, first, to switch to advanced startup with support for unsigned drivers (video tutorial here),
install Asus USB drivers (link to Asus USB drivers here - note: video tutorial to install drivers from inf (the inf file for the driver is Android\android_winusb.inf) (repeat for every device available : ADB Interface, Bootloader Interface, etc...) )
and IntelSocUSB driver (link to IntelSocUSB driver 1.2.0 - Note: Before finishing IntelSocUSB setup it will ask you to configure a device : you'll have to connect your ZenFone 2 using an USB cable to your computer, while it's displaying USB logo, and WAIT FOR DETECTION IN Device Manager as "Moorefield device" under "Intel Soc" section),
to flash a fastboot bootloader (link to xFSTK_ZE550ML-sal358-amtech.vn for ZE550ML / link to xFSTK_ZE551ML-sal358-amtech.vn for ZE551ML) using xFSTK Downloader (link to xFSTK Downloader 1.7.0)
(guides for everything in this step 1: english version - same in vietnamese with screenshots and valid links - detailed PDF for xFSTK with screenshots). => phone boots on fastboot
Step 2. Flash a lollipop ROM (or Marshmallow raw image from the raw fw collection but I did not test it) with Asus Flash Tool to repair fastboot info (like serial number) and access recovery if you want to install Marshmallow from a zip
In order to get a working recovery menu (because I found a zip for Marshmallow but no raw, I'll have to install a recovery),
I had to install Asus Flash Tool (NEW link to Asus Flash Tool 1.0.0.45),
UPDATE Some links broke so I suggest you to download the raw firmware from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/z008-z00a-z00d-z00x-raw-fw-collection-t3448966, there are Marshmallow raw firmware so you can skip step 3. I havent tried myself for now.
flash a raw file (go download it from the raw collection) on ZenFone 2 ZE550ML using Asus Flash Tool (Model: ZE550ML - wipe data : no)
OR FOR A ZE551ML flash a raw file (NEW link to WW_ZE551ML_2.20.40.184_20160504.raw) on ZenFone 2 ZE551ML using Asus Flash Tool (Model: ZE551ML - wipe data : no)
(guides for everything in this step 2: english version - same in vietnamese with screenshots and valid links)
BUT because Asus Flash Tool will wipe everything except user data and change your serial number from 0123456789ABCDEF to your legit serial number, flashing will NOT work and process will be ENDLESS because serial number has changed so phone is not found and you're not warned of that by Asus Flash Tool.
After 20 minutes of "OKAY" status displayed in green text on your phone, after 20 minutes of "a500cgfastboot.exe" running in task manager,
I think you can safely unplug USB cable, abort Asus Flash Tool by closing this software, killing "a500cgfastboot.exe",
don't restart the phone, just plug it back to your computer and reopen ASUS FLASH TOOL (notice serial number change in ASUS FLASH TOOL) and flash again with same settings but the new serial number (different from 0123456789ABCDEF).
This flash should work, after an hour or less you'll see in Asus Flash Tool that it's finished.
If it did not work, then you can reboot the phone and try again
Step 3. Flash Marshmallow zip with adb sideload, if you didn't installed it with a raw at step 2
Finally, you'll have to shut down your phone,
boot in recovery mode (guide is here),
connect it to computer, select "apply update from adb",
install adb (link to ADB Installer 1.4.3 - Note: install it system-wide but don't install Android USB drivers) on your computer,
download zip OTA for Marshmallow (NEWEST official link to UL-Z008-WW-4.21.40.191-user.zip for ZE550ML / NEWEST official link to UL-Z00A-WW-4.21.40.223-user.zip for ZE551ML),
open a command prompt in the folder where you downloaded files (using "File > Open command prompt > Open command prompt" in the Windows Explorer's ribbon), then type :
Code:
adb devices
to verify that your phone is detected (you should see your serial number in cmd),
then type the following command to flash Marshmallow stock (zip is NOT pre-rooted if you want to root you'll have to do it after) :
ZE550ML
Code:
adb sideload UL-Z008-WW-4.21.40.191-user.zip
ZE551ML
Code:
adb sideload UL-Z00A-WW-4.21.40.223-user.zip
It may take a while decompressing then sending to phone. Then select "wipe cache partition" in your recovery menu,
wait until you see again the menu (so, wait until end of wiping cache), and select "reboot").
If you want more details for each step, just ask in the comments! Don't forget to read the other guides linked in the steps (for example, the one for xFSTK)
Now pray, and your device SHOULD magically boot the latest beautiful stock Marshmallow ROM from Asus, with all your data (except, maybe, settings of some non-system apps), exactly like before you bricked it.
It worked for me, but with the right new files it should work perfectly for you...
I hope you'll appreciate this "googling" work
Thank you
Thank you for sharing this information dude.. This is a helpful one.. It will surely be of greater use soon..
Thanks man u saved my zenfone 2 ze550ml. I tried various tutorial and videos but things didnt work as old files for z008 didnt work. You got the right files and steps. Cheers and keep up the good work
Hopefully this puts an end to all new unbricking threads *thumbs up*
password doesnt work for the flash tool anymore?
if u face error in ASUS FLASH TOOL
faced error in ASUS FLASH TOOL.
so i followed this guide after step 1 of this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/thead-bricked-phone-updating-to-mm-tips-t3452785
then phone rebooted normally with a running OS. then i flashed last official lollipop zip from asus website by copying it to phone root directory. After that i flashed again the latest official Android 6 zip from ASUS same way.
everything working fine now. thanks

Hello,
I just tried it again and I can confirm that www.asus-zenfone.com is the right password for the archive, as seen on the original website :
http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2015/12/download-asus-flashtool-10014-for-windows.html
Download the RAR on your computer and open it : your archive opener software will ask you for the password only if you want to extract file. You can still see the list of file without password
Currently stuck at the end of step 1. :crying: any recommendations? Uploaded a picture of where xFSTK says as an error.

That means the PDF could be wrong using five 0's. Might want to add that as an edit to step 1 for anyone else that may experience the samething.

BUT because Asus Flash Tool will wipe everything except user data and change your serial number from 0123456789ABCDEF to your legit serial number, flashing will NOT work and process will be ENDLESS because serial number has changed so phone is not found and you're not warned of that by Asus Flash Tool.
After 20 minutes of "OKAY" status displayed in green text on your phone, after 20 minutes of "a500cgfastboot.exe" running in task manager,
I think you can safely unplug USB cable, abort Asus Flash Tool by closing this software, killing "a500cgfastboot.exe",
rebooting phone (notice serial number change in fastboot info on phone's screen) and flash again with same settings but the new serial number (different of 0123456789ABCDEF).
This flash should work, after an hour or less you'll see in Asus Flash Tool that it's finished.

What is worked for me :
1°) Using XFSTK > -- Do not hesitate to use another computer OR Reinstall only XFSTK (Change the Folder too) if you are "ATTEMPTING #20" / "errors encountered during download. aborting" / "firmware download completed. continuing to os" --- i had these msg then i shutdown the phone an plug it to his power for all the night then it worked at first try
Then you are on "Weird Flag" then BOOTLOADER with "123456789ABCD"
2°) Use Asus FlashTool with the RAW File (WIPE : NO)> DO NOT REBOOT THE PHONE After it says "RESULT : OKAY" on the Phone
-Close Asus FlashTools only (do not close the task - VIDEO : https:// bambuser.com/v/6355633)
-Relaunch Asus FlashTools
-UNPLUG the USB Cable then Plug it back directly
-Wait 10 sec -> You will have your serial number on Asus FlashTools
>>> Reuse your RAW File with Wipe Yes then it Works
I even use ADB Sideload to upgrade to MM

Step 3. Flash Marshmallow zip with adb sideload, if you didn't installed it with a raw at step 2
Finally, you'll have to shut down your phone,
boot in recovery mode (guide is here),
connect it to computer, select "apply update from adb",
install adb (link to ADB Installer 1.4.3 - Note: install it system-wide but don't install Android USB drivers) on your computer,
download zip OTA for Marshmallow (NEW official link to UL-Z008-WW-4.21.40.112-user.zip for ZE550ML / NEW official link to UL-Z00A-WW-4.21.40.134-user.zip for ZE551ML),
open a command prompt in the folder where you downloaded files (using "File > Open command prompt > Open command prompt" in the Windows Explorer's ribbon), then type :
adb devices (null)

Not work in my case with this recovery: twrp-3.0.2-0-Z00A.img
Man, i am so ****ing happy.. My phone wasn't available for 2 weeks and this was a very bad experience for me. I fixed it because of you. Thank you so so so much!
Stuck in the first step!
Hello, currently my ASUS Zenfone 2 is bricked because I tried flashing the released Android Marshmallow ROM on TWRP.
After 10 minutes of flashing my device abruptly shut down and now it can't even show anything on the screen when I turn it on (phone still buzzes but not even a dead android icon is shown--just dark unlit screen).
I followed your instructions and I got stuck in step 1 when trying to install the drivers using PowerShell. I was able to install the .inf from the folders "MTP" and "tethering" but the one in "android".
May I have some assistance to the next step gentlemen?
I believe because of this my computer could only detect my phone as the "Moorefield Device" for more than a second.
Thank you,
Tom
Please help, I need proffessional help.
Android Phone: ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser 5.0 (ROOTED)
Android Firmware: 5.0.2 Lollipop
Aim: To enter into Fastboot mode and Recovery Mode without problems
Situation: Recently installed TWRP Recovery in-app and through software, but when I try to enter in Fastboot Mode (HOLD POWER & VOLUMEUP) or even Recovery Mode (HOLD POWER & VOLUMEDOWN), I just end up in a hanged out ASUS Logo. I can't do anything except pulling out the battery myself and putting it back then booting the device through power button to boot it normally. I don't know if it's the problem with the model, or the phone's system itself, or it's just a bug, or a problem when I rooted my device through ADB.
(Note: When I rooted the device, I wasn't even able to see the blue "FASTBOOT MODE" when I tried it, I only saw the ASUS logo as well.)
For anyone who has any idea on what's going on with my device, please reply and help me. I really want to have the benefits of a rooted phone completly and I'm a new root user so I need assistance.
For anyone who has an idea on what I've done or on what should I do, please help me. Someone told me that I flashed the recovery and locked the bootloader, so it got damaged. If so, would Unlocking the Bootloader (from Wiki.CyanogenMod's Site) help my case?

I think I have "access" to TWRP recovery. However, I can only access it through booting it up from ADB. I used the command "adb reboot bootloader" to boot it to fastboot mode, however only the ASUS screen appears but I treated it as the fastboot mode itself. Then I checked if it was really on fastboot mode through "fastboot devices" and it showed my serial number. I can only enter into TWRP using "fastboot boot twrp.img" . I don't know if I already installed it because although I opened it, I can't do it from the phone (POWER+VOLUMEDOWN)
Ok now boot twrp and then flashamodified zip or cm13 and your phone should eork you dhould to have unlockrd bootloader
Hi to all, i'd re-open this 3d for the same problem. After months I'm trying to re-sleep my ZE500KL. It was in "can't load invalid boot image" loop. I tried to force recovery mode and (wrongly) force to update from update.zip the stock fw stored in the uSD.
Since this time I can't enter in recovery mode more but fastboot only. The problem is that, in spite of the USB drivers are installed, fastboot does not recognize any connected device.
I've run Win 10 pro with a zenbook ux333fn laptop and I remembered android 6 on the phone, the last time I saw it alive.
I've tried also to install twrp 3.1, with no positive results.
Anyone can suggest me any solving way?
Thanks to all

QFIL or AFT can be the solution.
I have a similar problem, a hard bricked Z00ED (ZE500KL) not able to get into fastboot or recovery.
after reading some thread here an there. that are Processor / Chipset specific flash tools that help flash bootloaders and repartition hard bricked device.
For mobiles with MediaTec devices, there is a tool called SP Flash Tool. I wasted a whole day with it. then understood that Z00ED (ZE500KL) has a Qualcomm Processor MSM8916
Therefore we need a Qualcomm Flasher here (QFIL )
But nos I am stuck with getting firmware for ZE500KL that can be used by QFIL tool, It should have a firehouse*.mbr file that is the programmer (dependent on CPU of the phone) and a rawprogram*.hex file that I don't know where to get from.
Thanks... It seems a bit less wild, but in any case no solving, yet

Hello all..
I've struggled almost a week to unbrick my yureka AO5510. I can able get into bootloader mode by using sd boot method. Also i can able to get into Qualcomm HS USB QDLOADER 9008 by shorting board pins.
But in but in bootloader mode after flash_all.bat done successfully device remains same. No boot. In 9008 mode Sahara protocol error. Couldn't flash.
Finally Here is the solution and cause..
Cause : Corrupted radio modem in bootloader (or something related to boot)
Solution:
Get into bootloader mode using this method https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TooHuDpKyzA ...
(If you can't get into bootloader mode using this method then nothing helps, i've tried even flashing my device using JTAG boxes)
As per video instructions even after flash_all.bat done if yureka remains bricked here comes the solution.
Download flash_radio.bat(zipped) from link below. Place it in stock firmware folder and run. After everything done successfully Run fastboot -i 0x1ebf reboot
Voila.. you got your device back
This is my first thread. Forgive me if anything uncompleted.

You dont have to format whole eMMc bootloader. just flash the rom either using fastboot mode or custom recoveries.

Hi
I recently tried loading Lineage OS on my Asus Zenfone 3 (ZE520KL). Didnt get far though. Got stuck unlocking my bootloader via adb. As a result phone is no longer detected in adb. The phone is getting stuck at ASUS logo and I cant boot to recovery either. It does get detected by fastboot but nothing more. I have tried :-
(1) loading various ROMs downloaded from Asus website onto the microsd card
(2) using asus flashtool (various versions). The latest one says battery is -1% while the earlier version returns various errors including "frp request server log access is denied" and "failed to write partition"
(3) I have (seemingly) been successful at pushing recovery and boot images via fastboot but the phone still wouldn't go past the Asus logo when rebooted
Read a lot of threads but not much seems to be working.
Help please !
Thanks
For what its worth, I ran the 'fastboot getvar all' command and this is what I got. Seems to be a truncated run.
Hello,
I have the same problem as you, I only have access to fastboot mode and can't access to recovery mode. Have you find a solution ?
Thanks.
How did u solve the problem?
