So, I bought a new Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 3 GB variant today. I was really excited for it to arrive. Obviously, I wanted to install custom recovery and flash magisk on it. However, now that I'm trying to unlock the bootloader, I'm getting a message saying 'Press any key to shutdown.' What might be the problem guys? I've installed all the drivers and my OS is Windows 10 64bit with an AMD Ryzen CPU.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

To flash recovery do the following.
Fasboot devices. (your serial number will show up)
Fastboot flash recovery ( after this command hit the space key on keyboard, then drag the .img file to the command window and hit the enter key on keyboard)

Have you tried with a USB 2.0 adapter? That should solve the problem.

I also have 6gb variant. Try using usb 2.0 port and windows 7/ linux.
I installed linux on my old laptop (this also worked for some users) and instead of installing windows 7 (bc i know i will run into drivers issues) i installed linux mint.
Try following my guide here. If it didnt work, post your problem there and I will see what I can do

- Open the Unbrick folder and run blank-flash.bat:
- Flash Stock factory images: (Problems see #2)
Your phone should show up on the computer as fastboot.Just flash stock factory images. (Motorola via "RSD Lite" or Google one should do the trick).

First, fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
Then flash the other images.
If you just bricked by downgrading bootloader, the persist and modem calibration should still be happily where it was when you started.
This won't help you if you're stuck with Allow OEM Unlock. Be careful locking on 5.1. There's accurate information elsewhere in the forum on that.

No IMEI / No Signal
Restore EFS Backup
If wifi/bt/camera dosen´t work Then probably your /persist got somehow corrupted. (Post Under construction)
For a fix:
Flash a custom recovery, and open a terminal with the phone booted to it
run
umount /persist
mkdir /persist
mount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist /persist
#e2fsck /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/persist
you will be propmpted to check / repair errors, keep pressing enter for each that it appears
then run
umount /perist

Oh no wait, I DIDN´T SEE THE AUTHOR LOL.
may i ask was it hard for you to get the permission to post? afaik these files are proprietary (aside from the paritition table) or aren´t they?.
also can i ask you something a bit more offtopic?
i noticied the nexus 6 works directly with QPST (at least it can communicate with it)
but some other devices (like the nexus 5) can´t, its something that qualcomm or the manufacturer decide / make?
Once again ,props to you and motorola!
Never thought of an oem doing that, even more that the bricks can only be achieved when messing with things you shouldnt be :good::good::good:
Erm, don't mind me asking one question.
How do you back up your efs if your phone is bricked?
So I thought I would rid myself of no Xposed or CM12 on 5.1 (LMY47D) by going back to 5.0.1 and flashing CM12 again from an older nightly I had downloaded already....I think we all know what happened.
I managed to get through it all and have the blank-flash boot loader screen up but I get hung up on <waiting for device> when trying to flash factory image (LMY45D). The boot loader shows as locked and as a result I am unable to flash a factory image. Hopefully I am not breaking any rules or anything by posting this here but this is the error I am getting when running the flash-all.sh:

You're not bricked, you're just down ATM. If you can get into bootloader or EDL mode you're fine. Just gotta put some work in. First, you've probably got a bootloader that doesn't allow fastboot commands. (the reason why you're getting the unknown command error). You need to flash that via EDL if you don't want to downgrade/unlock your bootloader. There is SOOOO much to read out there that with a little searching and reading you'll be up in no time.

Hey, I CAN use Fastboot commands. but i cant get to recovery mode even tho i flash it. my bootloader is unlocked. please help!! i am stuck
Well with the error message you posted, "unknown command" means that you're on the wrong bootloader. You have two methods to install TWRP. Bootloader or EDL. If you want to do it via bootloader you need to load the B20 bootloader and that'll allow for the fastboot flash recovery "name of img file".img command. If you're wanting to use EDL you'll need to use a tool to force the recovery image.

Ok that means that both of you are using the G model. If you're able to get to your bootloader try using the tool that I linked above.

So far there are 2 DFU guides, mine is the latest. (Google "dfu unbrick"). Though you might want to try an EDL cable before doing the process on the guide. Just use MiFlash or EDL Tool along with the cable, and you might fix it.
First, Unlock Bootloader
Install TWRP for Le X626
Download Magisk or SuperSU
Put Magisk or SuperSU in internal storage
Reboot to TWRP
Install from zip
Choose Magisk (Recommended) or SuperSU
Reboot
source : tickernel.tk
Can you please post something similar for rooting Le2 X526 model?
I would like to install Magisk instead of supersu as I have heard the former is better.
How to install TWRP for x626 according to the site the OP recommends.
From the same website, only without the adlinks. No guarantees from me, if you go through the instructions from the OP you will end up getting the same information.
– Make sure your Bootloader is Unlocked, if you don’t know how to Unlock the Bootloader then please go to here and Unlock the Bootloader of your Device.
– Download the Latest TWRP Recovery Image from https://dbr.ee/TKKC
– Reboot into Fastboot/Bootloader Mode.
– Run The Following Command from a Command Prompt in the Same Folder in which you downloaded the TWRP Recovery Image (Change twrp le x626.img to recovery.img):
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot boot recovery.img

Unlock bootloader first
What rom do u use?
Hi Tickernel, and thank you for replying
I unlocked the bootloader as per Step 1 above and that completed successfully.
Moving on to Step 2 I got the recovery image following your links which led me to 'twrp le x626.img' (20MB), which I renamed to recovery.img.
There are two commands to execute in step 2, the first went ok, the second did not succeed

Have u tried boot to recovery?
Press vol up + power
Hi again Tickernel and thank you for your patience
I haven't tried boot to recovery, what would I need to do exactly? I'd need an update.zip file right? Any one in particular??

After you flash the twrp, then boot into recovery by pressing vol up + power
You don't need update.zip
Hi Tickernel, so you're suggesting recovery in the sense of a total erasing of all apps and data? I'm willing to do it, but will make certain I have a backup first . Just want to confirm that this is what you think needs to be done.

I'm not suggesting to erase all your data, i'm just suggesting after you flash the twrp but don't straight go to recovery then press vol up + power. That's it
Glad I asked My issue is it will not flash TWRP. It fails on the step 'fastboot boot recovery.img'

Command 'fastboot boot recovery.img' is going boot to twrp. If you fail to do that, then just press vol up + power
Progress!! I switched to loading TWRP from a Windows OS to a Linux one and Fastboot completed without error. I have yet to complete the remainder of the steps but will do as soon as I get a chance. I'll report back. Thanks again Tickernel, looking forward to having a rooted device soon !

So since it was late decided to relock the boot loader

and now I am in panic mode since I am getting
your device is corrupt it can't be trusted and will not boot!
EDIT
sorry for the double thread
on the same page in red got a link to go to https://support.google.com/android/...26463373558015-753534547&p=verified_boot&rd=1
but how can I go back in fastboot to flash a factory image?
Actualy there is hope can boot in fastboot with power down but I tried to flash the original OPM1.170911.254_firmware.zip by unziping it and doing flash-all.bat but running into some error so I re unlock the boot loader
But stil stuck at

Once unlocked the phone will have the orange screen on boot.
The sparse format error is normal.
Not sure why you go back to fastboot.
I'm on Oreo B3 and have no issues flashing.

That cable combination is worse than the factory.
All I can say is hold the power button.
You need a real USB-C cable. No adapter.

Hopefully you didn't brick it already, sometimes it has to sit for a couple hours to come back.
Sometimes it will switch to the other slot once you flash the red screen fix.
Either way you will need to reflash the phone
Have you plugged it into the computer?
If you see Qualcomm 9008 you r screwed.
Good Luck

I have an other USB C cable https://tinyurl.com/y7uqrgdx but my MSI computer USBC port will only Fast charge it so far probably something to change in Bios
holding the power button does nothing just starting to panic!

Sounds like a solid brick and I would assume it's because of the USB adapter combination you were using, but I hope it's not and that you can get it up and running somehow.
Update
Not completely dead led slow blinking Until charged I supposed
Faint slow green LED blinking when maintaining power button
but more important I just noticed now detected by my computer USB C port since I got the bell when a USB device is connected also in device manger USB 3.1 become triggered
Not sure if I should keep hope!
