Hello!
I have an Asus zenfone 2 laser ze500kl.
Initially few day ago it was stuck on Asus Logo only I can access is twrp recovery and fastboot mode so in order to make it normal boot i flashed zip file through Aft all flash file initially in command prompt on pc it shows that "device unlock true erase sbl... and at the end Failed unknown error. Now we will try it again!"
but at that moment I disconnected my device from pc. And removed battery to turn off fastboot mode and want see will it turn on but my phone won't turn on. It's dead. no charging, no leds, no vibration. it is not recognized by PC with usb. nothing. Just dead. i removed the battery, let it without battery like, 20 seconds, put it back on, and still dead.
What can i do? Now is there any chance to make it on although device is dete to pc when I connect but won't turn on at all so pls if is there any chance to make it on pls let me I shall be much obliged to him. This is my favorite phone.
So. That's why i posting here. Some ideeas? Some chances ? i think it's I erased some file while flashing due to it wasn't turn on either in fastboot or in recovery.
Pls see attached flashing pic

[HELP] Redmi Note 4(3+64) RED STATE

I have a redmi note 4 mediatek variant and it's been stuck in bootloop for the past 2 days. It keeps restarting and doesn't go into fastboot mode.
The bootloader is locked. It won't go into recovery or fastboot. Sometimes it turns on when holding the power button but then goes into a bootloop.
This was the message last displayed on the phone:
RED STATE
YOUR DEVICE HAS FAILED VERIFICATION AND MAY NOT WORK PROPERLY
YOUR DEVICE WILL BOOT IN 5 SECONDS
And then it shut down and hasn't responded since.
Going to a service center probably won't help since this is a chinese variant and I live in India. The service centers here are mostly useless.
All help is greatly appreciated.
You can always try to do test point. Download official rom file and flasher, make sure to install fastboot drivers. Take apart your phone and connect two golden contacts on the motherboard while plugging in USB cable connected to PC. The phone should boot up to bootloader and you should be able to flash rom.
Test points should look like this: http://en.miui.com/thread-646232-1-1.html (scroll down, there is one photo)

I somehow got it working by completely draining out the battery and then booting. It worked for a while normally (around 30 min) and then went into a bootloop again.

MI 9T Brick, need help for EDL steps

Hello guys, how are you today ?
I will do my best to write properly (french, sad)
So, i unlocked my phone with no problem. I tried to install a working TWRP. The ADB command to install was easy, but impossible to boot in twrp with the boot command on ADB.
I understood that i just needed to press up and power to open TWRP.
I putted on my OTG USB KEY the xiaomi.eu weekly ROM for my phone.
I formated only DATA, and i began the installation.
I had an error, and after my OTG was not recognize.
I just putted up and power to reboot the phone and try again.
But i dont know what happened, black screen, impossible to boot on something, i tryed to hold power 15 sec and nothing work, impossible to go to fastboot mode.
The phone is recognized on windows but nothing more.
I searched on the net and my phone is bricked. I need to open it to press ELD.
I found someone who has ELD permission for 12$.
Now i just want to know if someone can explain me how to open without damage the phone and how to be in ELD mode.
Thanks you and have a nice day.
I guess you could try to buy an EDL cable instead.

My Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 is stuck on the screen," Powered by Android". I have neither rooted nor unlocked the bootloader. I had received the error of "Your device is corrupted" and had followed the guide to remove that. For a month, my phone lagged and had a drop in battery. Restarting it has caused it to not work.Now, it's showing no signs of starting. Any help will be sincerely appreciated!

go for qfil then but use 059 qfil otherwise 130 qfill u will lose your persist,factory,fsg partition. doownload 059 fastboot rom . it is combined fastboot qfill rom. use it same as other qfill rom but choose here ww_no-nfc_no-fsg raw program.
btw your device showing powered by android that means u can go into fastboot mode and recovery mode both. just press and hold power button untill u see restart of ur screen. as soon as u see that press violume up along with power key. u will def get acess to fastboot mode.

Didn't worked.. QFIL s/w was not able to detect the port even after connecting the mobile.. Tried to completely discharge and recharge hoping it would work.. Now, its not even recharging.. Nothing works now..Feels like a motherboard problem now..Should I rebuy the 4GB version or look for another mobile?
Try asus service center

motherboard issue not lead to sudden death of phone. did u encounter random reboot before every 10-20 mins if not no worry.
for qfill u have to turn off your phone and press vol + and vol - together and have to connect your hpone with pc. check device manager of pc it will show port and comt device 2-3 mins after successfull qualcomm diag port driver installation.

Didn't had any random reboot stuff. I thought voltage fluctuations might have affected it. I had charged it at the Airport the same day the phone gave up. The QFIL software was not able to detect port even while pressing vol+ and vol- .Service Centre tells me its a PCB problem and are asking 3k for repair. Looks like a new phone is somewhere in the line for future.

Stuck in rescue mode after tried flashing stock firmware

Good evening! I hope you can help me.
I flashed LineageOS 14.1, but I wanted to go back to EMUI. I made all the wipes and tried to flash different stock firmwares through a forced update (volume buttons + power button), but it never worked. At that point, I read about a guy in this forum who suggested to create a flashable zip with Huawei Update Extractor: I followed the suggestion and tried to flash it with TWRP. No error was given, but when I tried to restart, TWRP told me I had no OS installed. I thought it was strange, so I tried to restart anyway. That's when I got in rescue mode. I can't get into the recovery and I can't use fastboot. What rescue mode shows me is:
RESCUE MODE
Attention!
Please update system again
Update User Guide:
*link*
*android avatar*
Error!
Func NO: 10 (boot image)
Error NO: 2 (load failed!)
Pressing the three buttons, I'm able to force an update. The problem is I can't find a firmware that doesn't get rejected. With Lollipop firmwares, it starts to install, but it fails at 12%. With Marshmallow ones, the installation process doesn't even start.
What can I do to make it work again? I'm very sad because this phone was gifted to me a couple of days ago and I already messed it up. I don't even know how to turn it off.
What can I do to get in fastboot mode? At that point, what should I do to flash the stock firmware? Or maybe do I need to find the first stock firmware ever installed into this phone to make the forced update work?
Please, I need help. Thank you in advance!
P.S. The phone's model is ALE-L21. I live in Italy, so I assume it's a European version.
Did you managed to fix this?

Not yet, but I'm working on it. I found out that the device is recognized by my PC if I follow these steps:
1. Connect the phone to the PC and wait for it to go in rescue mode;
2. Wait until the notification LED stops to blink;
3. Disconnect the USB cable;
4. Press volume - and power button;
5. Reconnect the cable.
At that point, the screen turns black and the phone is recognized as "㄰㌲㔴㜶㤸". I installed the drivers and now it's recognized as "HUAWEI USB COM 1.0". I should be able to reflash the partitions and make my phone work again, but I'm still trying to understand how to do it correctly.
Any help is appreciated!

fastboot detects your device when you plug it into your computer?
I mean, if you run "fastboot devices" it shows your phone?
I've had this same problem but with an P8 Lite 2017, after flashing some ROM that supposedly was the stock one and trying to flash recovery I ended up with my phone bootlooping into rescue mode, I was able to "bypass" this thing rebooting my phone like crazy, seriously like after 20 reboot it finally booted into the damn ROM and I never touched the phone again. Sometimes when the phone ran out of battery and tried to power it on the phone booted into rescue mode and again after some reboots it booted to Android but now I want to install a custom ROM or at the very least root this damn phone so that's why I'm asking you if you have solved this, if you do then probably if I follow the same steps I would be able to fix that screen, hopefully.
If you are able to flash something start with flashing all recoveries your update.app has, maybe that's the problem (at least in my phone it is).

No, it doesn't show anything if I write that command...
I guess mine won't ever boot into the rom because it seems like there's no system installed. I made some researches and found out there are some softwares that let you reflash the partitions IF the phone is recognized as "HUAWEI USB COM 1.0". I'm still trying to figure out how to do it correctly though. I feel like if I do something wrong, then my phone won't probably turn on again.
In your case, you should be able to flash a custom rom without any issue. You just have to be very careful and inform you as much as you can: I don't want your phone to end up like mine?. Anyway, it seems pretty hard to go back to the stock rom, so think about it before you flash a custom rom. Also, make a Nandroid Backup is very important.

Redmi 7A Dead, No display, no fastboot, no recovery

I have some previous threads on my Redmi 7A dead... but no one responded, some did but said I can't fix it, buy a new phone. I am not in a financial condition to buy a new phone. All I can do is fix this phone and continue using it till I get a new phone. But since 3 weeks I am not able to use my Redmi 7A. I was hopeless that this phone could be repaired or could be used again but I went through a few videos on YouTube and saw a ray of hope but still I was helpless I tried booting it into EDL mode using the test point method but nothing worked out. Please I NEED HELP to fix this phone. I have a brief description below of the timeline about how it
crashed, how it was in the service center, what happened after it.
Alright so,
At March 13, It was on AOD (I know it is not supported keep reading), running nusantra os latest version for (Mi-439 aka Redmi 7A, 8) which was last updated on Dec 4, 2022. So when It was on AOD I tried to unlock the phone and it froze. So I rebooted it abnormally. After it was booting it stuck on the Redmi logo but it wasn't going ahead, not showing the boot animation. So I tried to boot it in recovery mode, when it was booting in recovery mode the phone was just shutting down and trying to reboot itself again but it couldn't. So I tried to wipe everything using fastboot commands and the command which I used was -w. So after that instead of waiting at the redmi logo it was stuck in a bootloop, in fact booting in the bootloader (fastboot mode). So after that I lost hope and gave it to the nearby service center. Please note that the phone was turning on before giving it to the service center. After like one day I went there to check if it was done, they say that it's a hardware problem, they are not able to fix it, When I came home the phone didn't boot neither in the fastboot mode nor It was turning on. So I thought it's not charged so I charged it for 1.5 hours but still there was no sign of life. I asked them about the phone not turning on they told me that it's a hardware issue and hung up the phone, said I am in a hurry I will call you later. Till this day I received no call. So Now I am posting this because I see some hope of EDL mode. I even tried to boot it in the EDL mode but still it was neither booting in the EDL mode nor my computer is detecting my phone (I have all the drivers installed). Please help ASAP.

1. does the led light up when you charge it?
2. what does you pc device manager show when you plug it in? (do you hear the windows sound?)
try every button combination that is possible. i mean two buttons at the same time, three buttons, all buttons... and for about even up to 1 minute (because this brought my 7A back from just led light when charging to pc detected a usb device)
i can't reproduce your brick but i managed to debrick via edl mode once on a "complete dead" (only led lights up when charging) so i think you can do that too.
also as long as you work with the EDL Tool, deactivate your Firewall (and don't forget to activate it again) just so be sure.
3. are you trying to enter edl mode via adb terminal? i would say you have to open the back cover and enter edl mode via hardware bridge from edl point to ground.
and as far as i can remember you have to be really quick between "starting" (booting) edl mode on the phone and make the phone "accept" edl mode. i think i first made the hardware bridge and then pluged the usb in.
i will dig deeper again in the next few days so i can give you better info's
