[ZenFone 2 General] zacha_9990:
Hello,

I have trouble following the instructions.

My phone is ZE550ml, the firmware before I bricked my phone is V4.21.40.311 (Android M).

When I use the xfstk (on windows 7) it get "Reconnecting to device - Attempt #1 - #20" after "Firmware download completed. Continuing to OS..."

I have set the GP flag override value to 0x80000807 (with 4 zeros).

Thanks in advance for any help you are able to provide.
[ZenFone 2 General] zacha_9990:
Hmm... it looks like I have to answer my own question :)

Ok, finally I am able to unbrick my bricked device.

I use ze551ml xfstk file on my ze550ml device...

[ZenFone 2 General] zam3da:
Because your previous rom is MM, just replace ifwi and dnx with ifwi and dnx on stock MM for your model. U can get it from stock MM.zip just open the ifwi.zip then u can get and pick ifwi and dnx according your phone model there. I have succed with this way

I've Asus Zenfone 2. Rooted and Lineage Os

Also Entering Recovery is impossible, by pressing keys there's no vibration and phone won't start in recovery

The normal power button works.

The issue being, even if my phone is dead or anything I just need my internal memory. it contains important files that i really need along with my contacts or whatsapp offline backup

Ideas, anyone?? I installed the "regular" Asus USB driver, but no help.

I also tried with the SOC driver installed and NOT installed (after xFSTK has been run). Right clicking on "Android-Phone" in device manager and selecting "Update Driver Software" says "no compatible drivers found".

In the stock ROM there is boot.img, ifwi.zip, but where do I find recovery.img and fastboot.img?
[ZenFone 2 General] sukhwant717:
which version of stock firmware you are on?

recovery.img is usually present but tell me model number i will send you files..

fastboot image is named droidboot.img

also you can not flash zip in fastboot mode. you have to extract the ifwi.zip to get ifwi bin file. make sure to choose ifwi same as your model as there are multiple in zip.

Hi,

I have tried searching the threads i zenfone 2 category and couldn't find the issue related to mine.

Issue is I am having a zenfone 2(India make) with 1.8GHz/16GB/2GB specs(ZE551ml).

I had oneplus 2 which was water damaged recently so I went back to my old zenfone 2 which was not used for a long time. I was trying to unlock the bootloaded, install custom recovery, custom rom etc. After following lot of modding process mentioned in xda and google I wasn't able to do it correctly and do the process and atlast ended up with a bricked phone.

Ok coming up to the exact issue. Now when I tried to boot up the phone it directly shows Installing updates and then dead bot error screen(which if we press Power + volume up combo) get u to the factory reset, wipe cache, sideload ADB screen. But there's no startup ASUS log of the default bootloader screen. Even when i tried to start the phone(to fastboot mode) using power + volume up it will reach the dead bot screen itself, so fastboot commands are not detecting the phone right now.

I am stuck with what to do now. Can we reinstall the bootloader again? or help me bring back my zenfone 2 back to life.

My main objective is to bring back the phone to life with default rom etc. Also I would like to install Nougat custom rom as well(but that's not the first priority). I am without a proper phone now. Please help me. Help is really appreciated.

Hi everyone, I am able to flash my device using xFSTK. However, I am not able to enter fastboot mode. The phone displays the USB hanging sign and then reboots on successful flashing by xFSTK. But after that, it just vibrates two times and nothing is displayed. This goes on a loop. I have followed this article and successfully fixed the same phone that belongs to a friend. Any ideas?
[ZenFone 2 General] user531xda:
Reinstall drivers and xfstk and charge your phone for 4 to 5 hour then reflash with xfstk and make sure gp value override ticked and value was 0x80000807 four zeros ... And fw_dnx , ifwi and OS images was for that device
[ZenFone 2 General] itsakjt:
Hi. Thanks for the reply. I have tried all those and still same issue persists. My cache partition was corrupted prior to that. I think that is causing all the trouble.
[ZenFone 2 General] user531xda:
Lol mine config was corrupted... That's why m stucked .. u can try

fastboot erase cache

Fastboot erase data

Fastboot erase factory

Fastboot -w

Then without restarting device flash raw files through commands

Oh forget ur main issue was bootloader corrupted ...u can try xfstk with different cable and different ports of your pc
[ZenFone 2 General] itsakjt:
It is too late now since fastboot no longer boots up. :(
[ZenFone 2 General] user531xda:
Yeah ... I realize quickly

U can try with different cables and different port

And do not mind can u try with zee 550ml files... I tried them they works they didn't show fastboot screen with full resolution but commands works on PC ... Try a shot

Great idea. I will give it a try with ZE550ML files.

Unable to get the 4 color tv like screen

Hello,

I have been trying to unbrick my phone. I followed the steps mentioned in the main post. But sadly all my attempts have been unsuccessful. I do get the 'Details: FW+OS downloaded complete' but i do not get the '4 color' on my screen.

I'm a noob at this so i will just write down my steps and experience so you can point out my mistake or if there is something else i should do

Steps:

1) Switch off phone connect to PC via usb

2) Open XFSTK Downloader, select 'MRD A0 / B0 + A0 + CRC' tab and enter the files bin file locations in their respected TextBox

3) Select Options->Modify Settings->Download Options from the XFSTK Downloader menu bar and Enable GP flag override and enter value '0x80000807' also set 120 as detect device timeout.

4) Click Ok and Click Begin Download

5) Power on Phone before timeout

6) Logs Shows 'XFSTK-STATUS--Firmware download completed. Continuing to OS...' vibrates and restarts Screen shows usb logo.

7) Log Shows 'XFSTK-STATUS--Firmware and OS download completed.' Then phone vibrates shutsdown and the Log shows 'Success: Download of FW Completed.'

8) Now phone seems to restart constantly with no display. I feel it vibrate and the PC makes the connect and disconnect sound.

Please help me. Thank you :)

Help needed to flash phone

Hello all

was an interesting post and thanks for the post

i am looking for a more simple way of getting an Asus phone back to life

my friend came to me this morning with her Phone that wouldn't switch on at all and the only signs of life was an orange light when plugged into power... when checking over the phone my self doing some of the basics such as trying different charger and plugging into my laptop then i proceeded to the hold down Volume up and press power until a vibrate and 3 options appear on screen the obvious one at the time was to attempt a recovery when doing so Asus and powered by Android appeared but then just went off again tried the other 2 options ( fastboot ) and ( Normal ) both did the same as recovery... one other attempt while trying fastboot while the USB cable was plugged in a message appears disconnect USB cable.

that is all i got from this phone now since i did a flash on an Alcatel phone back in 2015 i figured i would give this Asus a shot in the hope it would be as easy as it was to do that old Alcatel phone but sadly i cannot seem to find the software to do it the way i did it before

When i did the Alcatel phone i got the software and the firmware directly from the Alcatel website and it allowed me to run the software from my laptop and following the onscreen instructions allowed me to flash the phone straight from the software with a few easy steps and will just install the firmware even without pressing on the power of the phone basically locate the downloaded firmware that was downloaded hit next software tells plug in phone hit next wait x amount of minutes phone is alive again... bare in mind that phone was dead at the time only display was a battery and a light that was it not even reset options on this alcatel....

so what i am looking for is the software that will enable me to restore the Asus phone in pretty much the easy and simple way i did with the Alcatel if there is i would be so greatful for any pointers and sure will beat paying Asus a fortune for them to do it and million times better than paying some back street mobile phone repair shop doing it with dodgy software

many thanks in advance to all

I had a similar problem since at least 2 years: my phone is not bricked but bootloader is corrupted (0123456789abcdef instead of serial number) and I cannot use adb nor fastboot, but I can actually boot and use my phone (unrooted). I can't also boot the recovery or flash a twrp (if press power and then volume + will display a question mark inside a battery icon). The worst part is that I can't follow this guide because I can't correctly install intel soc driver, device manager won't shows MOOREFIELD. I'd like to restore bootloader to root back my phone and flash a custom recovery (or a stock one at least) because an unroot phone is so sad....

Anyway, thanks for this tutorial and help.
