HELPPPPP
Every time I reinstall the rom stock and install TWRP via odin, this message appears
"Verification failed
It is not possible to reset the unit. Health check failed. You need to reset the machine to the factory default settings. This will erase all your data "
When I re-install the ROM stock I can normally access the device (without root permission). How to get root permissions?
* Twrp-3.1.1-2-dreamlte.img latest version
* Magisk-v13.3 latest version
* No-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1 latest version
* Odin3_v3.12.7 latest version
As I see it, you are not pressing the correct key combination after flashing TWRP recovery via ODIN ( Up arrow+Bixby button+Power)
Follow the instructions here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbFDv8Ii7PM
Either that or you have a snapdragon s8 with a locked bootloader haha
Hello. I tried downgrading from the latest ASUS firmware to Android 6.0.1
I used this tutorial to install the raw firmware: http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2016/12/asus-zenfone-3-raw-firmware-and-asus.html
Went all the way to the last step when the app hanged. ASUS Flash tool went all the way saying
Code:
Run flash image script ...
It was hanged there. And as per this video, went all the way to the end where it showed the "code bar" on the right (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8xg7A-P7Ak)
This is when the "Android" uninstalled driver showed up in Windows. This is under "Other devices - Android". I tried updating this driver using the ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows found here: https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-3-ZE552KL/HelpDesk_Download/ but it wouldn't install the drivers.
Note that I used these ASUS USB drivers to get the ASUS ADB Interface installed. As per the tutorial I showed in the very first paragraph, I never got the "ASUS Android Bootloader Interface". This is what I think this "Other devices - Android" is found under Computer - Manager - Device Manager.
Most tutorials on the internet shows that the "ASUS Android Bootloader Interface" should be installed using these drivers found on ASUS website, the ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows.
Now of course because I unplugged the phone, it will continously stay on the Android splashpage showing the loading circle infinitely.
As a last attempt I tried installing the "stock", not "raw" firmware (the one I wanted to install WW_13.16.5.49 but ASUS would not let you downgrade using the recovery "power+volume down" and using "Apply update from microSD card". It would give the
Code:
Warning- No file-contexts. This package is for "ww-phone" devices, this is a E:error in /side load/ package.zip (status 7) Installation aborted.
)
Well, after it brinked, I tried it again and this time it DID install WW_V13.16.5.49. Was succesfull. But after the ASUS splashscreen it's still stuck in the booting process.
I am very sorry if my post is convoluted but I tried explaining everything I did. Any way to un-brink it? I think maybe if I figure out how to properly install the ASUS Android Bootloader Interface, I can try again ASUS Flash tool and install the raw image and maybe that will fix it?
Please help. Any questions if my thread is too confusing, please let me know and I will answer it. I can't even turn off the phone. While it's stuck into the load splash screen, if I press the power button it just restarts, not turn off.
I still have access to fastboot (pwr + volume up) or recovery (pwr + volume down)
EDIT: Phone won't get recognized anymore in ASUS Flash Tools. Serial number won't show up to select
Factory reset and delete cache/dalvik through recovery and post back. It'll take 5-10min to boot up after that. You should always delete cache/dalvik after flashing.

Thank you, this actually worked!!
Aaaand, it's actually on the version 13.16.5.49!!!! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED!
So apparently by brinking my latest nougat 7.0 update from ASUS via the ASUS Flash Tool trying to flash the .RAW 13.20.10.137, the standard recovery system (power+volume down) allowed me to install the 13.16.5.49 version. Then I assume remnants files didn't allow to properly boot, and your idea to wipe cache and factory reset fixed that!
What is so great is that I was scared that because the .RAW firmware was newer than the version I needed (13.16.5.49), I wouldn't have been able to install it. It was the same problem initially, when I tried to install 13.16.5.49 directly via recovery over the latest nougat 7.0 version from ASUS, but it was giving me
Code:
Warning- No file-contexts. This package is for "ww-phone" devices, this is a E:error in /side load/ package.zip (status 7) Installation aborted.
I think this error was due to the fact that ASUS won't allow older firmwares to be installed over newer ones, as per their webpage
https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1009748
Code:
You can not change the SKU from one to another, e.g., WW -> TW, and also can not downgrade your firmware, e.g., V2.20.40.13 -> V2.19.40.18
So in the end, what allowed the 13.16.5.49 stock firmware to be succesfully installed? The installer not detecting a proper firmware anymore because of the damaged update due to ASUS Flash Tools hanging because my computer won't install ASUS Android Bootloader Interface?
Glad you got it going :good:
I mistakenly flash the wrong recovery image (twrp, then back to stock when twrp did not work) using fastboot. Just gave up on flashing the recovery and after a few months, I need to factory reset my phone and forgot that my recovery is corrupted or not working. After resetting and my phone rebooted, it just bootloop in the asus logo.
tried entering fastboot and recovery mode but it is no longer working.
So I googled and read that the only way to unbrick my phone is flash it with SP Flash tool. Can you help me find the correct firmware for my device? Or maybe i just need the stock recovery.img and flash it with SP flash tool with the correct scatter file.
My device is running the latest firmware when it was bricked.
Please help. Thanks.
Flash this Rom. It will unbrick your phone and back to 6.0. You'll need to update your firmware again manually.

Thanks, already restored my phone by flashing it with SP Flash tool and updating it manually with the official firmware.
Thanks for the information and ROM provided using SP Flash. I am now back at 6.0. What tools/firmware is required to update it manually to the latest 7.0 version? Tapping Settings -> System -> Check for Updates does not appear to do anything.
Hi, i've got a Zenfone 3 Max ZC520 bricked (it stucks on ASUS logo after i tried to install the SuperSU), when trying to install this firmware it shows me ERROR: S_BROM_DOWNLOAD_DA_FAIL (2004).
How can I unbrick it?
Thank you.
Hey everyone,
I tried to flash this stock ROM (as zip) via TWRP, and get no error messages. When i try to reboot to system I only get back into TWRP Recovery.. That being said, after first flash, I got a message saying the phone was unable to decrypt and that I had to factory reset, but I only got this message once. I've tried to wipe data, cache, dalvik, system etc.
Edit; also tried running LGUP with Uppercut 1.0, where I get the error "There is no handset connected. Please, connect a handset(s)."
I am able to access the phone from Windows explorer. In Device Manager, the Driver to H870 is just called 'MTP USB Device'.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
My model is European H870
make full wipe over minimal ADB with these commands :
fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache
fastboot format system
get you a 20c kdz and make do with LGUP and uppercut an update ! note ! first uppercut and then start LGUP wait until everything is through and your phone will start.
do not currently take zip because twrp is still in development use kdz file LGUP + Uppercut
Okay, Let me explain exactly what I did here... I first flashed Twrp using SP flash tool which worked without too much problem. Then I attempted to install the latest super su zip which told me the boot.img was already patched and it could not find a ramdisk... So I moved on and flashed the latest Magisk zip which flashed no problem. Rebooted the device and it came up with a red boot state telling me it would boot in 5 sec. It did not boot at all. Turned off the tablet and rebooted into twrp again. I then flashed the OTA update system.img, boot.img, and re-flashed twrp from twrp itself instead of the SP flash tool. It booted into twrp no problem, however now it said it could not mount the system partition. I did a full data wipe, factory reset, rebooted into twrp again. Same issue. So I attempted to re-flash the firmware with SP flash tool. Did not notice i had it set to format and download and not only download. It said formatting for maybe 2 sec and gave me an error. Now the device will not turn on at all... no screen whatsoever, no recovery, etc... I have had no luck getting the asus flash tool to even recognize a com port however SP flash tool seems to be able to flash the device no problem. I extracted the .raw firmware file I have for the latest firmware, modified the scatter file to allow flashing all partitions, and I did a full firmware flash of the device using SP flash tool. However it still does not turn on... it does nothing... So I'm assuming that I accidentally formatted over the bootloader... And I cannot find a bootloader flash file for this device anywhere... So I'm stuck with an Asus ZenBrick... Does anyone know a way to fix this issue? When I plug the device into my computer and open device manager it switches between the preloader and mtk serial port very quickly not staying on either one very long. I'm assuming this is why I cant get the asus flash tool to work and SP flash tool works off just the initial preloader. I just bought this tablet from someone and managed to hard brick it in less than a days time... Any help at all with a way to revive this device will be greatly appreciated. Thank You in advance to anyone who tries to help me fix my mess up.
