Did nothing and freeze

I've been using my Padfone2 for a year and a half so this morning it was on low battery, and then it shut down on its own. Things like that happened but this time I plug it to the charger and it started up on its own and it froze. The homescreen buttons are still responsive just that it only shows the Asus logo and nothing else. The thing is I didn't root my phone or anything so does this happen randomly? Is that a hardware or firmware corrupted thing?

Anyway I'm gonna try the solution hopefully it works.

Hi HelmerN,

my padfone2 suddenly got bricked without me do anything about it. I tried your method but I can got in to fastboot mode in my padfone2. Can anyone tell me how to unbrick my padfone2 and saves all the data in it?

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HelmerN:
Hi Kampoenk.

I'm sorry but I don't quite understand. Are you able to get into fastboot mode?

What about the stock recovery, can you get into that?

Can you describe what happens when you power your phone on?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HelmerN:
Sorry, din't see your post until now.

Check if the drivers are installed correctly - sometimes windows won't recognize the device and you'll have install the usb drivers manually.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kampoenk:
When I turn my padfone2 on, it only got into no further than asus logo. I can't turn it off also because long press power button result restarting device and will bring my padfone2 to asus logo, so now I open the backcase and unplug battery cable.

l can't get into fastboot mode. If i press VOL UP + POWER button it will bring me to asus logo (sometimes with moving circle underneath the logo sometimes only asus logo). Fastboot devices syntax result nothing. When I try fastboot boot recovery.img syntax, it said waiting for device. I'm very sure my driver is okay because I use it before my phone got bricked.

I can get into recovery mode by pressing VOL DOWN + POWER button, but I don't know what to do in there. Im noob :).

My padfone still unroot. I haven't back up my padfone2. Yeah, it's my bad . I still have valuable data in my padfone2 I wishes that I could unbrick and repairing my padfone2 while keep maintaining my valuable data.

Thank you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HelmerN:
I have to be honest with you, It doesn't look good. For your personal data at least.

The good news is, your phone is "Soft bricked", as apposed to "Hard bricked", meaning the software is broken - software can be fixed so there is a good chance you can revive the phone. But doing so might cause a factory reset - in other words your personal data will be lost. Your best chance of keeping your data is if you know what firmware version was on your phone?

If possible, download the exact same firmware from Asus. The official download page is here: http://www.asus.com/us/support/Download/29/1/0/2/32/

Make sure to download the correct SKU depending on where in the world you bought the phone.

Fastboot is usually only enabled on padfone when the bootloader er unlocked. However - If the system "knows" it is broken, it will enable it - so there is a chance.

Just to be sure, to enter fastboot mode, the VOL UP key must be pressed and held prior to the phone powering on. In your situation it sounds tricky, but do it as soon as your phone restarts and the screen goes off. Keep it pressed until you see the text "Fastboot" on your screen.

Let me know if you get in.

My Padfone 2 has a locked bootloader, however doing VOL UP during boot gives me the following message: "CSC Mode (Long press power key to restart system). The driver it used was "ASUS Android Bootloader Interface Driver" - I will investigate if that mode could be of any use to us..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HelmerN:
I did some digging...

Try wiping your cache in recovery mode.

If it still won't boot, you'll have to do a factory reset, loosing your data. :(

Sorry to say but as far as I can see, those are your only options.

Thanks for the feedback, Indeed the A68 driver was not installed properly and was showing the exclamation mark. I followed the procedure and in the end still the drivers remained un-installed. Final window Popup was

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HelmerN:
Do you know if your phone was up to date, and possibly what firmware was running when it bricked?

I know that when Asus finally upgraded to Kit Kat, the update reformatted the partitions.

I'm thinking it might not be able to "update" using sideload due to different partition layouts, and that the partition change happens before that step during a normal update.

But that means you are able to boot the custom recovery? try the same with the boot.img from the WW_A68_11.8.4.6-0-ota-user.zip and see if it boots up.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobbyKantor:
Original Firmware not known

I don't remember that, I started with the invalid Kernel problem and then somehow progressed to bricking.

however it stop at that

say for example i issue command " adb devices, i get the respond that my phone is connected to the computer ( my phone can still be use and running)

then when i issue command " adb reboot-bootloader", it will reboot to bootloader mode ( which shows the usb logo picture with white bar)

but when i ssue command "fastboot devices", no devices connected. why?

i have tried Asus Flashtools software, it display an error when 5% writting to the phone. somehow the phone cannot be found.

is there any reason my devices cannot be detected when issue fastboot comand.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sanyi83:
I am on the stock rom just rooted so that would be an odexed rom correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] crawrj:
That is correct. The only way it is going to hang on the yellow screen is if the wrong version was installed, the file that is being installed is corrupt or the install process failed. The first thing to confirm is if you are flashing the right version, Odexed or Deodexed and the right version number. So to confirm this you check About device and look at the build number. Get the last three numbers, MDC, MDL or MF9. Next get a root file explorer and browse to /system/app if you see .odex files you are odexed. If you don't see .odex files you are deodexed. Once you have that confirmed you download the version that matches what you are running.

If you have confirmed the version and it still hangs then it is probably a bad download. It seems the best results come from downloading from the skydrive link on a computer and transferring to the phone manually. Others have reported using the skydrive link and chrome on the phone worked also. I always transfer from the computer to the phone.

Lastly custom recovery is the best method of install. I use trwp myself but have also tested with OUDHS and Garwynn's CWM. The file manager method works but can cause problems so I don't recommend it.
