Any workaround for Linux? seems to be soft brick

I was reading the "[Bricked][Unbrick] Black screen,No fastboot,Rec. vib only" thread, but it's obviously aimed for Windows users, I was wondering if there's something similar to Linux (Debian). I gave it a shot since Wine just released their version 2.0, but with no luck.

I was trying to install LineageOS 14 from CM 13, and I figured I needed to wipe everything (including system) but it didn't work (error 7, whatever that is); then I figured I needed the recommended TWRP version from the "[ROM] [7.1.x] Official LineageOS 14.1 Weekly Builds (Z00A/Z008)" thread (even though I had TWRP 3.0.2 already), so I flashed that recommended version from TWRP itself. Now I ended up with almost nothing, it doesn't load TWRP now.

What I can do: go into the bootloader mode, but I can't do anything with adb and fastboot (no device found, probably because I didn't tick the USB debugging option?). But the "good" news is that I have everything in the SD card: LOS 14, CM 13, 2 versions of gapps, supersu and xposed.

tl;dr: do I need to wait a couple of days to get into a windows machine to unbrick my phone?

Thank you
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LBN:
Have you tried charging your phone completely, then let the battery drain completely, try that for a couple of cycles, it should improve the battery to normal. Ensure you have updated to the latest Rom from the ASUS support site, if you havent already, upgrade to the latest Marshmallow build, it is stable and battery life is good.

There are threads about how to deal with battery, please search the forum, and if you see any improvements after these suggestions, then yes you might well have a faulty battery and you will need to return the phone for a new one.

Good luck.

There is a complete and large thread on how to unbrick your your phone, if you can access it when connected to your laptop, then it is not bricked and check complete guide to unbrick your phone, you will need to read a lot of stuff, but there is even a video which explains the steps, and comments that elaborates further, search the forum and you shall find.

It tries to load once, but everytime reboots after ASUS logo and back into recovery.

Can reboot from app though whatever option you choose, (reboot into RECOVERY, BOOTLOADER) etc screen goes black and stays that way? Every 30 seconds or so oh will vibrate x2 however screen stays black?

After some time, I will manually long press the power button (10 seconds) to power down the device. Then 2 second press and release on power button to boot up, this will take me back to my home screen and a running device. (No reset, everything as normal)

My issue is, I can not boot in to recovery at all. (Custom recovery TWRP) Tried 3x and all failed?

Multitasking issue

Hello community,

I am a new user so please bear with me as I try to explain in the best way that I can my issue.

Please forgive me if some terms won't be used properly.

Up until recently, I was able to run say a youtube music video on Mozilla, open another tab and search airline tickets and still listen to the running video. Further more I would not need to see the video, hence pressed the wake/sleep button, it would fade to black and keep running the video.

Recently tough, it seems that as soon as I try anything like switching a tab, it automatically stops.

I have checked under developer settings the background process limit set to standard and disabled another setting which is cleanup in suspend under Auto-start Manager.

The outcome is the same.

Please help as it is driving me nuts, totally beating the purpose of owning a true multitasking device.

Thank you in advance.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LBN:
Roms with different numbers/letters indicate different models, so for ZE551ML, only use Z00A that is the ROM for that device. Cyanogen builds are the most stable builds, I think. It has been a while since I used them, so I dont know if they do nightly builds any longer or released, check the thread out. I actually found that the latest official stock MM build is working just fine, so unless you are really looking for some custom stuff, perhaps it is not even worth it. That said, if they have started making N builds, it might be interesting.

Latest version of Netflix now relies on Google Widevine DRM so it'll show as incompatible on rooted devices or devices that are uncertified by Google. Even if you managed to install the latest version via APK eslewhere, SafetyNet blocks you from continuing.

1. Use older version that works.

2. Use Magisk and enable Magisk Hide.

The problem is you are on an LP Rom and you need to update or do a fresh install of a marshmallow Rom. The Asus LP Rom had a Google setup that is no longer accepted for Google verification. When you do get it updated to MM, all will be good again and verification will work.

In the meantime you can use your phone with a workaround I found. Pull down on the screen from the top when you see the error or on the page before, and you can click on an account head. There you can add an account and start to use your phone but a few things will be blocked.

To update you can add a ww zip from the Asus website on their ZenFone 2 firmware page and place it in internal storage from your pc while you are in that account. It has to be there and not in a folder or on an sd card if you are in stock recovery and LP. You can probably even access it just by rebooting and pasting it there during setup. Then reboot and you will see a notification to update on the lock screen. Click it and let it do it. A good file to use is the

UL-Z00A-WW-4.21.40.184-user.zip.

Hello everyone! It's been a while since I don't visit around here...

I ran across a problem with my Asus Zenfone 2 (ZE551ML). I downloaded the latest WW firmware version on Asus website and did as recommended in the tutorial they had. The update began normally, but after about 10 minutes, the update was frozen on (Updating or Installing Splash Screen). After a few more minutes, the phone seemed to restart, but nothing showed up on the screen! Now when I press the power button my phone only does the double vibration, as if turning on normally, but it doesn't show anything. After a while, the vibration happens again, as if the system is rebooting itself trying to load again. When I connect the phone to the computer holding the Volume - button, I get a device named (MOOREFIELD), but I couldn't get drivers for it so I could try to force an ADB or Fastboot install. Could someone help me or should I consider the phone dead?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I found out the thread on how to fix bricked Zenfones... but I wasn't successful, after almost an hour fiddling with the intelSOC drivers, I managed to get xfstk running, and...doing some tricks, also not following the tutorial completely, I managed to get the FW section flashed into the phone. But then the xfstk attempts to flash OS, the phone just turns on.... I don't know what to do anymore... :/
