I bought ASUS Zenfone Selfie ZD551KL (ASUS_Z00UDB). I found my phone software was WW version but strange thing is the backpack of phone box was written it has installed CN version. However that time my phone was installed WW-1.13-user I guess. There was no OTA update options, so i never get any update notification.
After 1 days I saw ASUS release Android 6 for ASUS Zenfone Selfie ZD551KL. So i downloaded in try to installed it many was, after that my phone go into bootloop. Its been 15 days I still in stuck in same. Already tried most of methods to fix but no success. After that i tried to contact Regional customer support, when I asked about that issue, they asking for half of phone charge, also they can't ensure if it fix or not. If fix they asked that that amount if not then half of amount. So i back to home and searched again, I understand that my phone bootloder still locked. So i think for this reason all of my try going fail. Since ASUS has requirement to unlock bootloder is must be version 1.15 installed, this case my phone was 1.13. Also now I'm in stuck.
So Question is, is there anyway to unlock bootloader as I'm in stuck into bootlop?
I know I could ask this msg to ASUS support, since as they are so bushiness minded they wont reply my question.
Badly need help this case.
Thanks in Advance
Thanks God, I just fix it using 1.12 CN version, which file was not from official support. Now main problem is, How can I move to CN > WW. I need 1.15 WW version. Is there any way to move on WW?

Hi everybody
My Zenfone Selfie after a normal update (never modified) is in bootloop.
So I installed adb and fastboot and I flashed the twrp.
Then I tried in every way to flash a rom. I've tried both with official firmware and with various versions of cyanogenmod. Through fastboot and via adb sideload.
Even if seems to work, when I reboot I get the bootloop problem again.
As far as I can understand the problem it’s that I have the bootloader still locked. The official apk solution I guees it’s not applicable in my case. By fastboot oem unlock i get an error message (probably why i can not enable usb debug).
Do you know of other ways to unlock the bootloader or in general to flick my phone?
Thanks to everyone for the help
First excuse me for opening an other thread like this, i think i have read all other threats regarding my problem, but none have the same situation
My Huawei M3 Wifi (BTV-W09) seems semi bricked after installation of Nougat Update.
The Installation (Force Install with dload) gave me an error and also while boot i got the error message: "Your device has failed verification and may not work properly."
I have the option to press "Powerbutton" and the device will boot up. I checked the Version and it showed android 7 + EMUI 5. The only problem was that almost every system app was missing, like keyboard, calendar etc. (playstore was there)
So i tried to do the rollback with:
HUAWEI MediaPad M3 8 Rollback Package%28BTV-W09 %2CC900B300%2C EMUI5.0%2BAndroid7.0 rollback to EMUI4.1%2BAndroid 6.0%29
The Installtion (force update) gets stuck at 5% and after like 3-5 minutes the tablet will boot up showing the same boot error that can be skipped with pressing powerbutton. I checked sytem and it still showed "android 7 + EMUI 5" but built : BTV-W09C900B300
I think this is the one i "need" to be able to install the "HUAWEI MediaPad M3 8 Firmware %28BTV-W09 %2CC100B006%2C EMUI4.1%2BAndroid 6.0%29"
Problem is regardless which "update.app" i try to force install will get stuck at 5% and give me same error. I have ADB/Fastboot installed and tried some different things like flashing/unbricking it with "Huawei Multitool" where you can extract like boot.img or recovery.img and try to flash it.
Also getting an error. I can access eRecovery witout problems, the option to fix it by itself by wifi doesn`t work. I can´t access "normal" recovery and i think there is the problem (may got bricked while flashing Nougat?) I think its recovery problem, cause when i boot it up to the "half-installed" Android and go into setting "hard-reset" option i know it would boot up intoi recovery and would erease everything, while bootup it shows error "reset failed".
In fastbootmode i see bootloader: unlocked FRM: unlocked
I tried to install TWRP recovery with adb but get error: adb remote command not allowed
I downloaded like 15 different Android Versions 6+7 Emui 4.1+5 to try with force update but none worked, may i have to flash special version of recovery first?
I just want a normal version of android 6 or 7 i dont mind but at the moment with half working 7 "without" systemapps its a hardtime.
I hope someone can help me.
This isnt my first android device and im not a total noob i unlocked bootloader and flashed kernels on many other phones but with the W-09 where i did nothing special i dont get why "recovery got broken"
Thanks in advance
You haven't read other threads too well: more times people reported that the bootloader got locked after an update still declaring itself unlocked!
Second thing you have not found: the Nougat update consist of 2 packages and the second must be installed from TWRP.

thanks for your anwser, i read that so i also tried unlocking it "again" and it quotet it is also unlocked in adb. I also know that there are 2 packages. That you need TWRP i didnt know thanks so i am a bit smater now. I think i ll try "relock" and unlock it again might be the right way, thanks for the tip.

This is nonsense. Unlock, install the right TWRP then install the second zip package.

i cant unlock cause i dont have the code, on the huawei page i try do make an account and get the code by providing the necessary information.
I just uploaded a picture, i choose "before EMUI5" cause this is the only option i can choose "tablets". --> i choose "tablet wifi" , enter product model "BTV-W09" then the serialnumber i can see in setting: 28D6R17316XXXXXX but then i have the problem to input product id, it say i can get it through "Dialer" app (which i dont have in wifi model ) or the calculator. Problem is in my damaged installation there is no huawei calc, other calcs from store dont work (read that problem in other threats) I tried many apps from appstore to get a product ID but huawei site keeps saying wrong product ID =/
With the program DC Unlocker i am able to see a MEID i dont know if its the right one, i tried my luck with the Product ID Generator from Huawei but it doenst work. (device not supported)
It's very strange that it says bootloader unlocked if you have never unlocked...
And was very stupid to try to installl a beta release without before unlocking and taking a backup.
Exhange your device for a Nokia 3110!

yeah at this device i never touched bootloader, i didnt think it would become such a big deal , i didnt want unlocked bootloader or other recovery just newest android. Never had any problems with the "force update function" to come back to stock. I tried DC Unlocker but cant get further cause device need to get into manufature mode (thorugh dialer or calculator which i both dont have) i hope maybe i find one more way.
Did you ever find a fix
Did you ever find a way to fix this. I'm in the same situation. I even did a VPN on my router to give me a Hong Kong address for erecovery and that still didn't work. I have the exact same product. Like you I tried to various attempts to download a new recovery, but nothing works. Nice hardware, but some of the worst software/firmware I have ever dealt with since starting with the first release of Android on the HTC Hero.

I had mostly the same problem. I rolled back to 4.1 using the rollback and the actual 4.1 update.app. I think that puts you on C100 if I remember right. Tablet I have is C128 (USA) but no problem for this step. Get the Product ID from the calculator. Allow OEM unlock in the settings, then unlock it using the unlock code. Email yourself the unlock code because who knows if their website will even be functional next time. Alternatively you can extract the stock calculator from the update_data_usa.zip or whatever and try to use DC with 5.0. That second update zip does not install properly via the dload method, so a bunch of stock apps don't get installed. You can kind of hack it and flash it via TWRP but I didn't do it that way.
Or...you can use firmware finder to force an OTA from 4.1 right up to 5.0 (350), then take that last partial OTA to 351 after as well. The way to do that is via DNS in firmware finder. Find the Full OTA in firmware finder you want, send it to the updater by changing your DNS the way it tells you to, and when it does the OTA, everything will be properly installed basically the official way. Good as new. Flash TWRP to recovery2 and replace the erecovery. Keep the stock recovery as is. Install magisk. Golden.

Also, as far as the rollback, you need to do the first one (the C900 which is just a compatibility fix to allow rollback, previously used by beta testers I believe). Then you need to do the second one, the C100. If it is getting stuck, try downloading it again and be sure you don't have anything else in the /dload directory on either internal or the sd card. I had one on both at one point so maybe that happened to you. The C900 should be very quick but the C100 will slowly progress after 5% all the way around in several minutes.
When you get to updating back to 5.0, you can choose whichever region you want as long as it is a full OTA. C128 is USA and that's what I bought so that's what I picked. That gets you back in the right OTA update channel after that.
Hi guys,
I started as a novice and have learnt the hard way.
Has anyone tried rollback to EMUI 4.1 EU version on a US device (W09) and are there any problems I should be aware of?
I have had the exact same problem shared in this thread and have gone through the pain of finding a solution. My last resort is to rollback to 4.1 and restart the whole process.
@deV14nt: you suggested that when updating back to EMUI 5.0, I can choose the region even if my EMUI4.1 is EU version. How does this work?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi there,
Long story short, I purchased a used S8 from someone on FB but when I got home it had the FRP reset lock on it. Instead of asking for the password and email (have since given), which I thought would be too rude, I decided to try and fix it myself.
Decided to follow a tutorial, which told me to flash the 7.0 firmware for the device (running on Android 7, not 8) in order to remove this. Unfortunately, the firmware flash failed on ODIN and I'm unable to recover the device using SmartSwitch. I just get the "an error has occurred while updating" message when trying to boot the phone, but that doesn't prevent me accessing download mode.
DEVICE DETAILS: S8, locked to EE network (UK), G950F. OEM lock and USB debugging were enabled. I've tried the latest Android 7 firmware on Sammobile, would flashing the BTU firmware or Android 8 work? Pretty sure the phone is the SS version, if that helps at all.
Does anyone have any tips on what I could do? Much appreciated.
Thanks.
RESOLVED
Thanks to @instrumentaly, this issue was resolved!!
This guy was helpful at every step of the way, well done and thanks again. Honestly, at first glance I thought it was too good to be true but I can now use my new phone again thanks to him. Professionally done.
Hey folks, I know I'm shooting a very long shot here for some luck, BUT, I am in the need for a stock ROM for the following device that just recently came into my shop and I can't seem to locate a valid DL link anywhere on the net for it (every alleged link seems broken). I seem to only come across other variants and sadly, I don't know which, if any, are variant compatible. The device currently is not bootable as it's stuck in Function 10 error (failed boot image) and doing the hard reset/device wipe does not correct the issue. So I'm hoping someone out there might have a backup of this ROM. I've also tried using every variant of the Huawei HiSuite to recover but they all say the device is not compatible for system restore support. The Bootloader is locked so I can't fastboot restore the device. The info I gave here I obtained using fastboot commands I found in a post here. I appreciate any help you guys can provide on this little problem.
Details are as follows:
Huawei P8 Lite (2015-10-18)
Build: V100R001C69b130
Region: Mexico
I asked this question a couple of years ago, still stuck there only and asking the same question again.
Is there any solution to this error???
Tried to unlock anyway with official tool, tried to flash using MiFlashTool, tried Bugjaeger app, tried XiaoMiTool V2 (by Francesco Tescari), Nothing worked.
If any of your friend's has a Xiaomi account of good standing you can give that a try. Or maybe a local mobile repairing shop.
Happened to me also. Couldn't assess why so.
You can try checking/changing data cable(s) & different MiUnlock Tools. Keep the device updated to the latest firmware. You can also try installing latest OTAs through recovery (rare, if the device is already up-to-date). All of it concludes to your willingness to have it unlocked. Ofcourse an unlocked device is more useful than a locked one. Keep giving the tries brother. You'll gain success.
