P9 Lite bricked

Hello,
I was on B336 and wanted to root it. All good, I followed the steps, and accidentally wiped cache&dalvik... Bootloop. Then I tried to downgrade to MM... No success... After that, something told me to wipe system, data, Dalvik, cache, everything except for Internal Storage, phone storage... I tried then to flash EMUI 5 beta 336... It didn't work. I tried then to flash Meticulus TWRP instead of Revolution TWRP... It did not work... I tried to dload MM stock, it did not work...
I'm stuck with:
-No OS
-Revolution TWRP
-Meticulus TWRP doesn't boot
Is there anything I can try to get it booting or I can throw the phone into the garbage bin?

I even tried to flash Meticulus TWRP with the RevolutionRecovery (I know, I know) and of course it did not work...

If you are with no OS
flash via fastboot system.img boot.img cust.img and recovery.img using app extractor
I don't remember the exact order (yes, you must flash them in a specific order)

Found the order:
- Fastboot flash boot boot.img
- Fastboot flash system system.img
- Fastboot flash cust cust.img
But I can't understand the part about app extractor. Can you explain please?

There is an app called app extractor (you can easily find here in the forums)
You put your Update.app file (the one you should put on the dload folder) and the app extract you these files
After you flash them via adb
I had your problem and solved using this
(Sorry for my english)

@diorenzo Ok, I got it, I extract from the .APP file with Huawei Update Extractor. What should I do next?

Go on fastboot mode with the phone
And via pc flash the files

Nope, just reboot and wait

Tried two times with no success... I'll try switching ports.

Sounds similar to what I had. Take a look here.
The solution in brief was:
1. Go into bootloader to flash recovery (I used Revolution Recovery)
2. In recovery, flash OEM info.
3. Then used the 3-button method to install stock version for the appropriate model (which I could see from OEM info).
4. Unlocked bootloader, triggering a factory reset. (I was stuck in infinite boot before this point.)

It was what i was thinking
I though he could flash recovery via fastboot (but i didn't remember he had to flash oeminfo)

[FIX] Asus Zenfone 2 Laser ZE550KL Marshmallow update problem, failed to mount /asdf

I have good experience with other phones but this is my first time working with ZE550KL.
So I took my uncle's phone and he asked me to update his phone to the latest firmware to get the VoLTE feature.
He is was on ZE550KL_WW_21.40.1220.1708 which is Marshmallow of the ZEN UI.
I have downloaded the latest firmware from the ASUS website but I couldn't update it because the recovery which came with the marshmallow update is broken.
These are the errors I got

}
Here is what I did, and hope this works for everyone.
Hoping that you already went and searched about the problem over the internet.
These are the things you need to download :
ADB and fastboot
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0aDjdU4gTwZZW1HUHhqWnEteXM/view
Recovery image file
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0aDjdU4gTwZa1MyUmVPN3BhQjQ
Latest firmware:
https://www.asus.com/in/support/Download/39/1/0/22/ZROQURlyupei1ZQz/32/
1. Download the adb and fastboot drivers. Download the latest firmware and copy it onto your internal storage.
2. Boot into the bootloader.
3. Download the recovery image and paste it into the adb folder.
4. Now type the following command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5. This step is very important.
Now, all you have to do is hold the power button and the volume down button to boot into the installed recovery.
Remember that if you restart your phone after step 4, your old recovery(which does not work) will still be there.
6. Now select update from sdcard and select the zip file of the latest firmware you downloaded.
7. It will take at least 10 minutes to install, don't panic if you think the screen froze.
I hope this solves the issues many users are facing.
Feel free to ask questions, I will be very happy to answer.
The recovery we installed is the recovery of Android Lollipop version of the Zen UI ROM.

Thanks. It worked. The only difference is that after flashing the old recovery, my SD card was showing blank. So i selected the adb sideload option and flashed the new build.. Thanks for your guide.

Thanks but few doubts remain. The recovery you used is from Lollipop`s 1.17.40.1503 right?
Can we not do this by installing a temporary recovery image (twrp)?
I have also read elsewhere ( https://devs-lab.com/e-unable-to-mount-asdf-recovery-error-solved.html ) that you would need the boot image too. But your instructions are way too easier and easy to follow. Why don't you use boot image?
If we are using the boot image then which version of it should we use?

Before I tried any of this... First thing I did was boot TWRP and install the lastest firmware.
But I couldn't do so because TWRP doesn't let you flash .img files.
And for the best result it is always better for you to use the official recovery to flash an official firmware.
Because ASUS f***ed up, I needed to install the previous version of the recovery to flash the firmware.
And I'm very happy that my guide worked for you.
Don't forget to give thanks. :laugh:

I haven't tried it yet. So you didn't tamper with boot.img at all. Right?
Also as previously asked what's the build number from which you extracted the recovery.img? Is it from .1503?
My current build is .1708 same as what you worked on. And will data get erased during this process?

How can I boot into the bootloader? is it by unlocking it? or is there any other non-invasive way?
Update: I installed as per your instructions. Device shows "Optimizing app 5 of 51".
Thank you.

Thank you
Thank you sir, this helped me a lot.

recovery link is asking need access plzz help

My Asus Zenfone doesn't boot anymore and doesn't even allow me to factory reset it from the bootloader. How to force reset it??

Hey guy,
My phone was running the rom "UL-ASUS_X00QD-ASUS-AOSP-17.0615.2005.25-1.1.1-user.zip" (downloaded from Asus Web). I tried to install the TWRP ver 3.3.1 unofficial and my phone was stuck on the fastboot mode only.
After a lot of searching on how to fix the issue, I didn't change anything and almost gave up, until I've read this thread.
My Asus Zenfone 8 flip is STUCK in CSC FASTBOOT MODE PLZ HELP!, RAW FIRMWARE ANYONE???
These are what I did to get the phone into the recovery mode:
1. Extract the rom zip file that my phone was running on.
2. Copy the file boot.img to adb folder.
3. On PC, at adb folder enter CMD, connect the phone then type
fastboot -w
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot recovery
4. After that, my phone can be booted into the recovery mode.
Hope you can solve the same problem as me.
Bye bye ...

Hey,
I'm in the same boat, how exactly do you get those images? The stock rom doesn't include the recovery.img
I'm kind of pulling my hair out, I'm now permanently stuck in fastboot

Hello everyone! The camera works on courvus 12L. and cr droid 12L but the battery is big on it. on the courvus 12L the battery is normal.
install twrp and boot into the stock firmware and then boot into twrp again. install the firmware from under twrp as a system image.

drive.google.com
this collected all the necessary patches for magisk

drive.google.com
after installing the firmware, you can flash this recovery.this is recovery-extract the folder from the archive and flash it via fastboot by clicking on the bat file-"1lineage 18.1 recowery.cmd"
lineage 18.1 recowery.rar
drive.google.com
and to run the firmware, be sure to flash it from under recovery

Hello kasper666666, that`s what I am looking for! It sounds like a fairy tail!
But.....
my knowledge about AOSP and Magisk is poor and even my trial to install magisk for my H8166 was not successfull.
I started from stock rom H8166_Customized DACHBLX_52.1.A.3.49-R6C and Magisk-v24.3 (or alternatively Magisk-v21.4).
Then I flashed system-squeak-arm64-ab-vndklite-gapps.img.
Error: "non supported Magisk-version"
Can you give any advice?
Thanks for your efforts!

I made a mistake. the camera works on firmware courvus 12 v 1.0.magisk does not work because you need to remove system / bin / phh su, and in build.prop in ro.build.fingerprint = you need to insert your own values, the camera also works on cr droid 12 but on it Big battery zhor with gapps.. https://sourceforge.net/projects/tipzbuilds/files/GSIs/CorvusROM/Alpha/20220315/ and be sure to flash it for the sensors to work https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-4cIIg8BNz1o1SlHEqamFKIprYcx9oOX/view?usp=drivesdk

if you can’t do this, I will help you, only I will need your build.prop from vendor

Thank you for your quick response and offer!
My last trial was insatalling "magfisk-phh.apk"; but stuck with Sony-logo.

it was not necessary .... I have a ready-made file, now I will upload it to disk and send a link to the finished firmware
put the usual magisk 24.3. install twrp and boot into the stock firmware and then boot into twrp again. install the firmware from under twrp as a system image
then you can put recovery lineage and it will work
lineage-18.1-20220113-recovery-aurora.img
drive.google.com

put all the files in the topic header

sorry, but I can´t see any attachment....
bytheway: will your solution enable the use of the stock xperia camera? As far as I know Bionic does not allow the use of their cameradrivers for the further development.

all attachments open. camera tama 0.3.0 from denny trank works it is in patchi.rar

it´s a hard piece of work for me and an end not to be seen...
1. flash stock with newflasher: ok
2. flash magisk_patched boot.img: ok
3. install twrp
3.1 fastboot boot twrp-kang.img; adb push twrp-kang.img /; install recovery ramdisk; reboot into recovery (with decryption); reboot system doesn´t work, boots into recovery instead!! Flashing system-squeak.img immediately stops with error.
3.2 fastboot boot twrp-aurora.img; boots but no input possible, dead screen
So what I`m doing wrong? Is there another better twrp?

download the archive. extract the twrp-akari.img file, copy it to the memory card. you must have the official firmware, connect the phone to the computer in fastboot and in the folder that you downloaded, click first on 1vbmeta.cmd then on 2twrp.cmd and wait until the phone reboots into twrp. in twrp select advanced then install recowery ramdisk and select the file on the memory card twrp-akari.img and wait for the firmware to finish. then reboot into the system. you can go to twrp and flash the firmware from twrp in system image. flash recovery lineage 18 on fastboot...magisk flash from under recovery lineage 18
xz2p dual TWRP 3.4.0.rar
drive.google.com

sorry, where can I find vbmeta.cmd and twrp.cmd?

xz2p dual TWRP 3.4.0.rar
drive.google.com
sorry

still no end to be seen!
1. install stockrom (newflasher)
2. boot and install ramdisk recovery (twrp-akari.img)
3. flash system.img via recovery or fastboot flash system_a system.img
4. reboot system: SONY-Logo stuck
what´s wrong with me?

2. boot and install ramdisk recovery (twrp-akari.img)!system reboot required!!3. flash system.img via recovery!! no fastboot!!!!4.flash Permissiver_v5.zip..5.reboot system

That´s exactly what I have done. Permissive-zip: too large; aborted....
I think, there´s not enough room for both twrp and permissive in the ramdisk and I dont know howto increase size. If I change the sequence of the installation twrp-img is too large.
"new image larger than boot partition. Aborting"

did you flash it from twrp.? flash recovery lineage 18 and flash permissiver from it

"It′s been a hard day's night
And I′ve been working like a dog" (Beatles)
Finally successfull!
I highly appreciate your work! Thank You!!
My steps installing android 12

2. boot and install ramdisk recovery (twrp-akari.img)
3. reboot recovery ; reboot system ; reboot recovery again
4. push system.img /sdcard and install
5. replace ramdisk recovery with lineage-18.1-20220113-recovery-aurora.img
6. flash Permissiver_v5.zip from it
7. flash Magisk-v24.3.zip
8. reboot system
9. install camera-0.3.0-tama.zip from patchi.rar via magisk
the original SONY Xperia camera is working!!
