Hi All.
I am in a bit of a situation right now.
My video recording app filled up internal storage and corrupted system files (because i forgot to point it to my external SD card).
This caused a boot loop, so I went into recovery and (regrettably) wiped the internal storage. Now when I try to flash or install a new (stock) rom, none will work. I have tried sideloading, installing through (TWRP) recovery and wiping the cache multiple times as I comb through the internet for files like the system.img, boot.img, and droidboot.img, to no avail.
TLDR; I need either a backup of someone elses Zenfone 2 ZE500KL, or the system files required to get me up and running, otherwise I have a brick on my hands.
Thanks for any help
Matt
Unlock bootloader, flash the official firmware, I think you can find it on the internet. Have you tried that? You can even get a deodexed rom from here and extract files needed and flash them...

Yeah, I have.
I've tried 2 different stock roms (Marshmallow, Lollipop) about 10 different times in both stock recovery and TWRP, mixing in some full wipes and just wiping the cache. I've been looking at a whole lot of tutorials on how to go back to stock, to no avail. I've tried modifying the rom so I no longer get the status 7 error (which I dont believe I should need to do) because I get signature verification errors on both my unmodified stock roms.
Sometimes it does do through the installation fine with the modified roms (in TWRP) and everything seems fine until I click reboot. On the screen it says that there is no OS installed, and when I do reboot to the OS I get stuck on the ASUS logo.
Not gonna give up, but a bit of a headache anyway.
I dont believe I have ever unlocked the bootloader, but how would I do that from outside Android?
Thanks in advance, Matt

That's the problem, locked bootloader. forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-2-laser/general/talking-ze500kl-g-unlock-bootloader-t3352776 there you got the old content, try it, it's from the outside of the phone. If your phone boots after that normaly, you got bootloader unlocked and your phone unbricked.

I'm not sure if you understand, but it would be helpful if you told us your problem, rather than continuing to nag for an img file. I didn't need it to fix my phone, so without you giving us more info all I can say is try unlocking your bootloader.
I know you want an img file, but if life was that simple, you wouldn't need an img file in the first place *insert inception music*
Hi there. I am a a bit of a root-moron and have bricked my brand new Oneplus 6T while rooting it. Now I am stuck in a bootloop that ONLY cycles through the fastboot.
I can no longer enter into recovery mode from fastboot.
I can not use the MSM Download tool because the phone will not go into MSM Mode. Whenever I connect to the USB the phone automatically “wakes up” and immediately goes into fastboot.
When I hold the power button + volume up it just cycles through all the fastboot options and when it does eventually power down / screen goes black, it immediately powers back up and does the exact same thing.
So I simply cant get into MSM mode or recovery mode. I don’t know what to do and fear that the phone may be totally f#cked.
I welcome assistance from anyone here who actually knows what they are doing vs me who knows close to nothing. Help please!

Thanks for your follow up.
Just want to let you now that I fixed it using the Stock Fastboot tool posted here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6t-t3862516
I just did exactly as instructed; my phone was already stuck in fastboot so I plugged to my PC and ran the flash-all.bat file. I really didn't think it would work because the phone did not seem to respond or do anything. I went to the toilet, came back and it was reset to factory!!!! Amazing.
Thank you so much @mauronofrio for posting this amazing tool. You saved my bricked phone! I sent you a donation for your assistance. Thanks again.
Just for future reference, as long as you can get this phone into fastboot, you should be fine. For now that's where all the flashing happens until we get a custom recovery.
But I'm glad to hear you fixed it lol
Can I just point out how bad*** of a "newb" the OP is. Dude signs up to XDA, literally makes his account name "OP6TNewb" then proceeds to give zero f**** and immediately jumps into flashing his brand new phone (as we all did once!). THEN he fixes the issue on his own using a tool he found by SEARCHING and THEN HE DONATED TO THE DEV WHO CREATED THE TOOL!!!!!
Kudos to you @OP6TNewb. All "newbs" should aspire to be like you.

Out of mere curiosity, what exactly did you do to cause the device to go into bootloop anyhow?

Hi Pain & Panic.
I was attempting to root my device following the instructions here https://www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t-unlock-bootloader-root/ by Adam Conway.
I was successful up to flashing the twrp img file but I made the error of flashing the wrong zip file. (blu_spark_r54-oos-pie_op6-6t_12869fe.zip ). This is bc when you follow the link to the twrp download page in Adam's instructions, the actual twrp zip file you need as per the instructions is the 10th file down the list and I didn't realize that this was important vs using the 1st zip file on the page which is the one I used. I assumed that the other files were older versions and the 1st was the most recent update that I should use. For a newb like me, this was VERY confusing.
Once I flashed the zip and rebooted to system, I got stuck in the fastboot bootloop.
While I am not 100% sure that this is what caused the problem, and maybe you will tell me that the zip file shouldn't have made a difference, but these are the steps I took.
FYI - after restoring my device using @mauronofrio's tool, I have successfully rooted my phone by following Adam Conway's steps and using the EXACT files he screenshots on the tutorial. So after a painful but educational experience, I rooted my device. Thanks again!

I forgot to mention one thing which may also be the reason. Initially, before using Adam Conways instructions, I started with the steps on High on Android (Max Lee) for the OP6 but on their download page, I mistakenly downloaded the twrp zip for the 5T and I flashed it. This initially cause the device to brick but I got it back into fastboot and into recovery and thats when I flashed the OTHER twrp file above. After I did this, I could no longer get into recover and was stuck in fastboot only.
So you can see that I made multiple errrors and I am not sure which one lead to what. Thank goodness OnePlus is friendly to rooting so I could save the phone!

Ah, I see. Looks like you flashed a kernel zip instead.
Im not a noob, but have been so out of practice with the latest Android ROMS and flashing and the changes in the partition arrangements. I managed to soft brick my phone as well and this post totally saved the day! Mauronofrio totally deserves a donation and I also gave one.
Thanks XDA! This place has saved me many times and helped me get the most of all my Android devices!
Hey guys. i am also no noob in flashing/rooting my devices.
Don thishundres of times.
Today my OP6T has shown an Magisk update (before it was 21.4 + Magisk Manager) and now it showed the popup to update -> done and error "bad image format" (i think for the kernel). Rebooted and now i am stuck in the same fastboot bootloop.
Tried to boot up TWRP with "fastboot boot tmrp.img" sadly it doesnt boot.
Any hints how i can recover my phone without wiping everything?
maybe @mauronofrio has an idea?
thx a lot

Hi guys,
So, this is a last resort. I've followed a number of different guides and methods, but nothing has worked. The closest "success" I've had is with a Chainfire auto root; it flashes, it breaks Knox, but I still don't have SU. Could it be because I don't have an SD card? I saw it as a prerequisite in some guide but didn't really put much stock in it as that was a single mention which also involved loading it with verity, which I'm more interested in removing.
I've also tried twrp, which that looked like it had bricked my device, though I managed to recover it by flashing the auto root again. I'm speculating that it's something to do with the latest updates, but really I'm just clueless and frazzled after 4+ hours of wracking my brains. I'm not sure what other info you'd find helpful anymore without going full splurge, so I'll keep it sweet and let you question me or berate me for my vile, witholding ways as you see fit. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Edit:
My SU checker says that I've not got the binaries or root user account. The .tar from firmware.mobi is only 54mb. I tried turning off suhide, but changed no other options. Trying to use fastboot straight up fails, the device isn't recognised after adb booting (despite having tried the correct drivers and some random others multiple times over.) I've been unable to locate a release for the T585 on twrp site, though a version is out there on these forums from a year or so back.

The only way I know of to successfully root a Tab A is by flashing TWRP and then using it to flash SU or Magisk. What version of TWRP are you using and what version of Odin? Using the correct ones won't brick a T585.
When I got my Tab A a couple of weeks ago I did a LOT of reading first ... but then it took less than 24 hrs from receiving it to having it rooted + running RR Oreo
Following the guide HERE I enabled OEM Unlocking and installed Odin.
Using Odin I flashed twrp-3.2.3-4-gtaxllte-OMNI6.tar from HERE.
Using the freshly installed TWRP I flashed RR-O-v6.2.1-20181210-gtaxllte-Unofficial.zip from HERE, Gapps from HERE and the latest Magisk from HERE.
That was it - rooted and ready to go :victory:
The first guide pretty much covers all the steps you need, I simply used a different TWRP version. You can't brick your device flashing TWRP unless you flash something that's not for your device. Make SURE to enable OEM Unlock first - and don't use SuperSU but Magisk.
Good luck :fingers-crossed:

Does this need twrp-3.2.3-4-gtaxllte-OMNI6.tar to go from Oreo to Pie?

Ok, so I went ahead and tried with the latest TWRP (3.3.1.1), RR (v7.0.2).
Everything seemed to go well..... except, tablet is now stuck in boot animation. It won't startup.
I double checked and I don't think I missed any steps.... Any ideas on what I can try?
Thanks.

Update:
I tried to restore the backup via TWRP and ended up with a "unable to mount /system" error.
My /system partition was showing zero size.
Many wipes and restores didn't help.
Eventually, what seemed to help was to choose repair the system partition, change file system to FAT, change file system back to ext4. Saw it in a youtube video- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-7neHzSIvc
After /system error was fixed, I did an install of RR again and it went smooth.
All is well now.
Hope this helps someone.

Back then we had no working official version and the Omni6 one was the only one without issues. Now we have the official and it should work just fine.
No idea why you had those problems, but I'm glad you got it all sorted
When I downloaded the lasted OTA update for my OnePlus 8 Pro I thought it was just another hotfix and didn't realize it was a Big Deal Android 11 update. I tried using the normal OTA upgrade processed and kinda screwed myself.
After trying to install in the inactive slot the way I normally upgrade OTA, I ended up bootlooping. So I downloaded the recovery image and tried patching Magisk the long adb way. It wasn't until later that I realized I had to be on the beta channel. I didn't know you needed to disable modules when you upgrade to Android 11, so they might still be in play, but I don't know how to check. I've tried a bunch of stuff without much luck. Here's where I'm at now:
1) Bootloader is unlocked
2) I can get into Recovery Mode fine
3) I can flash the default/unpatched boot.img for my build and boot up fine, but there's no root, and wifi doesn't work and cellular data is really flakey (even though I normally have fine reception here).
4) From an unpatched boot.img I switched Magisk Manager to the beta channel and installed v21.1. Then I patched boot.img to make a new magisk_patched.img from the beta channel.
5) When I try to fastboot flash magisk_patched.img to slot A I bootloop.
6) When I try to fastboot boot magisk_patched.img I get stuck on the red dot with 2 white dots orbiting it for seemingly forever.
7) I think something is wrong in my slot B because I mostly just get stuck in fastboot. This might be an unrelated problem from a while back though.
8) When I try to run adb wait-for-device shell magisk --remove-modules, I just get an error message about magisk not being found.
What can I do to get back to a rooted working patched magisk without wiping all my data and starting from scratch?
I've honestly never seen anyone do this before so I'm curious as to how you'll recover from this
My thought are MSM but you may be able to boot. Problem is the magisk modules are still in play.
The adb command may not work for removal as you may not get that far.
Did the installation go through ok? It was just booting that failed?
Could maybe try to wipe system via recovery and go from there.
I'm not too sure buddy.
Keep us posted how u get on.
Edit: Try to boot the boot img.
What model are you on? BA ? I have the boot images in my guides in the guides section. Feel free to take what you need.

Flashing back to the unpatched boot.img boots up fine, but my wifi won't turn on and my cellular data is flakey (even though I usually have fine reception here).

I have the US hardware, so I extracted the boot.img from 11.IN21AA, which was the same number that showed up after the OTA was applied.
I dunno, I tried a bunch of different stuff, ended up bricking it. Restored it with MSM to Android 11, then unlocked the bootloader, and tried to flash a fresh magisk_patched.img and it refused to boot in the same way, even though everything was completely fresh.
Are we sure the Magisk beta channel is working right now?

I don't know what lucky patcher is, so I guess not?
Turns out the wifi problem was happening on stock anyway. And EdXposed doesn't support 11 yet either. So I flashed back to 10.5.13 before bothering to set up all my apps. I'm gonna wait a bit longer for until 11 is more ripe.

Hi dladz, can you please give me more info on lucky patcher and how it could affect things. I'm an avid lucky patcher user, and recently had issues with phone not booting, had to do a factory reset. (I wonder if lucky patcher was some how the culprit)

Don't know if you know this or not but you can't even discuss LP on XDA so I'm afraid I can't..
All I know is that it's dodgier than Donald trump's hair and should be avoided like an old woman's waffle.
If you've had problems and lucky patcher was installed that would be top of my list of culprits.
Bootloops, corruption, force closes to name but a few issues, it probably mines for coin using your phone's processor when it's not in use and god only knows what it does with your data, if that's the price of free apps? Id rather pay for them, my data is with more than any app.
Soz mate, that's all I can offer.
Just avoid it.. :good:
This is my only phone so I'm hoping someone can assist fairly quick. I have a One Plus Pro 8 that was stock ROM but rooted with magisk. I used Oxygen updater and had a notification to update to Aprils security update from what I'm guessing. I did the normal upgrade and then didn't reboot and then ran and installed magisk with the OTA method rebooted and all was working. Well stupid me forgot I had already done that and ran that again and now I'm stuck in a boot loop. Would anyone have access to the stock or modified boot.img for this device? I really hate to reflash all this as it takes forever to get my settings back to the way I like and haven't done this in nearly 2 years. At least re-setup my phone anyway.

So there are threads around here with patched and stock boot .img files.
You can also download most firmwares from here and unpack the .img files with a payload dumber.
Anyway, if you are on Android12 be very careful what you do in fastboot.
[GUIDE] How to Avoid Killing Your OnePlus 8 Pro / 8T / 9R with OxygenOS 12 / ColorOS 12
As You can see, recently we started seeing more and more threads complaining about OxygenOS 12 killing people's devices. I lost my 8 Pro the same way few months ago and we finally know what caused this! ANSWER - THE BOOTLOADER! Massive Update...

I didn't realize it was beta, yeah I tried to get one of those and extracted the boot.img and no go. It's obviously not toast using the MSM tool to restore. Now to look for a better ROM, I've been on the factory one since I got it.

Literally had the same problem as you. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/something-went-horribly-wrong.4431335/
It sucked I've been in this for nearly 2 years but I backup my files to Google drive so that was the plus.
