run xFSTK as administrator. do not connect device to pc yet. load files and change gp flag value with four zeros. change device detection time out to 120. and click begin download.

now connect your device to computer. then completely turn off ur device. holding power but for 10 sec and power on simply clicking power button. xFSTK will automatically force it in desired mode.

now connect your device to computer. t

I am unable to launch xFSTK downloader on Windows 10. Does windows 10 require some additional settings to run it?

Or does anyone have ZE551ML firmware flash file as required by Intel Phone Flash Tool?

Problem :(

So, i have the same problem with my Z008D. The problem is that after it installs DNX , it goes to install the OS and then stops and my phone disconnects (MOOREFIELD) :(

Also, my phone doesn't vibrates but it connects to my PC

How can i solve it?

Link please :)

Edit: Found it but do i need to use 0x800000807 or 0x80000807
[ZenFone 2 General] avisson_16:
try both whaterever suit with you.. mine suit with 4 zeroes
[ZenFone 2 General] sukhwant717:
correct one is with four zero. gp flag value is always 0x00000000 of 10 digits. it can not go above 10 digits. bit 0 is force os recovery. bit 1 is the option to cold reset after FW recovery, bit 2 is cold reset after OS recovery, bit 4 and 4 is reserved, bit 5 is very important. it is an option to Install OSDnx to DDR rather that emmc, bit 10 and 30 again reserved. bit 8 is to disable softfuse and bit 9 is softfuse permanent write protect disable

So the correct value is 0x80000807.

So, guys. What Windows version you used for reinstalling your bootloader? Windows 7 or 8-10?
[ZenFone 2 General] BlazedMC:
Another problem

So, after 2 day of trying to flash the bootloader, over 300 times...I finnaly got it working by replacing the ifwi with ze551ml's one. And yeah, i'm sure that my phone is ze550ml. So, it flashed the FW and OS, when it had to show me the USB image, it didn't, when it had to show me the TV display thing, nothing, just the display that is black and working. I waited a bit, like 1 minute and pressed the touchscreen. The screen closed and then i pressed the power button. The phone instantly oppened the bootloader, i think it was already opened but not showing it. I manually flashed the ROM, using ADB. It worked fine, the phone opened up without showing me the splashscreen or the bootimage. I was pressing the volume up key and i was hearing the sound of the phone changing the volume. Then, i pressed the power button 2 times, it closed the black screen and opened the screen normaly, showing my android system (The initial setup for the user). I tried to unlock bootloader so i can flash cm13/14. Well, i installed the app, it rebooted my phone, went to bootloader (I think, because the screen was just black but still bright) then it booted up (Same thing, double tapping the power so the screen closes and opens normally). Then, i installed twrp...I succesfully installed it but when i try to reboot to TWRP, it just boots up. So, what can i do so it shows me the splashscreen and the bootanimation so i can install TWRP?

Thanks for those who will help me and thanks for the guy who made this post helping me to revive my 2 zf's (One 551ML and the other 550ML)

Sorry for the long post, here's a potato :D ;)
[ZenFone 2 General] LeNaSs:
You should do fastboot erase cache and reflashing your fastboot,boot,splashscreen,recovery img then unlock your bootloader then flash twrp img after enter to twrp, put your rom in micro sd and delete your all data except micro sd, reboot recovery from twrp and flash your rom after that it is gonna be okay.

[Solved] serial number mismatch

For anyone having the ABCDEF... problem, use the .14 version of AFT. Any new versions stop flashing on serial mismatch.

On the .14 version flash suspends midway first tym just showing 'flashing ...'

So, disconnect the device after about a good 5 minutes and reflash after restarting the Flash tool. When u plugin for the second flash, the serial number is corrected on the PC, its still off on the device, which is perfectly okay. let the second flash go on. it takes a lot of tym around 15 mins or so. Infact, just let the process complete and the phone will startup automatically , perfectly fine. Cheers. :) :) :) :cool:

Totally bricked

Hi guys, please help me !

I tried the guide above, the Asus Flashtool didn't work form be but it repartitionated it and accidentally the phone restarted and shows only the 4 rows. Nothing different. Can't use XFSTK again because when it says: fw download completed continue to OS, it just disconnects and goes to the 4 rows. The AFT destroyed the droidboot.

What should I do? Please help me, it costs a lot to send to a service, and I don't know if I can find someone who knows what to do.

Thank you very much

Please help me!!!! Don't ignore it....

I am using Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML . I am on CM13, it has a lot of bugs in it so i decided to go back to stock ROM. I downloaded the stock Marshmallow ROM from asus website. So i go to bootloader to install all things . I copy all the things in minimal adb and fastboot like zip file, boot, splash screen, driodboot, recovery after that i start flashing all after that thing then i go to recovery to sideload the zip file but my pc fails to detect the device so i restart the phone after that it stucked at the Asus logo.... i can't do anything nor i go to bootloader nor to recovery.... i cant do anything it only stucked at the asus logo nothing else so i think my phone is hard bricked. I search about it and landed here i try to do the steps mention i this guide but in first step when i try to install Intel Soc, there was a step where --

" "After driver installation step above 1.1 as successful you are in a window like this, do not click Next yet. Now you must complete step IntelSoc connection before installing xfstk downloader. The Device manager: right-click the Computer icon, select Manager, find the device manager. In Device manager, to IntelSOC, click the down side, you only see the present only one item is Intel SoC driver. Ash back to the Zenfone 2, shutdown, press simultaneously the key "source" + "volume +", of course you will see a screen hanging cables. Connect to your computer via USB cable, to standard Intel SOC driver position, wait a few seconds if the current add an item immediately below another MOOREFIELD new devices is successful. If You have not been, the test performed as follows: turn off the machine, plug the cable into the computer, press the power button until the device vibrates slightly, then release. This Is a required step to complete before performing next. Ash back window IntelSOC earlier installation, click Next and Finish. " "

In this step when i power on my phone only then my phone connect to pc but when the asus logo comes to screen it disconnect from pc because of it i can't do anything but before i do read this step carefully so i finished the installation of the Intel Soc and start installing the xfstk-downloader_v1.7.0 but when i start begin download it start but after 33% it directly goes to 100% and say that failure : FW+OS download did not complete and the white box at the end it says that XFSTK-STATUS--Error encounter during FW download. Aborting....

So Please help me with this problem......Thanks

Perhaps you re phrase the bold line comment "don't ignore it", demands don't work too well on XDA ;)

are your modified settings correct in xFSTK and in the correct selected option ?
[ZenFone 2 General] sukhwant717:
you need to completely turn off and turn on the mobile when using xFSTK. use GP flag value 0x80000807.

Hi guys,

i have the sam problems with my Asus zenfone 2

But again different. My phone is in moorfield mode, but just for a few seconds.

When i try to turn it on, i dont get any logo, any cable logo or sign, nothing. Just my device turn on with black scree, vibrating twice, showing in the intelSoc as moorfield and than dissapearing

and than reboting every 1.5 min, but without entering moorefield again.

What can i do? thanks
[ZenFone 2 General] sukhwant717:
buddy i have already answered this question multiple times. moorefield disappearing.. run xFSTK as administrator. load files. tick gp flah value. now change device detection timeout to 120. click okay to save changes and click begin download. now it will start waiting for device. now turn off your mobile and connect to pc and turn on.. program will itself force it into required mode. read the following guide properly.

I think that the downloading process that u have done is not done successfully... There is the problem in this thread the GP Flag value that u have to change is will be this 0x800000807 but this is worng value the right value is 0x80000807. There is one more zero mention in this thread for GP Value. For files for xFSTK u need to download from this thread according to ur asus zenfone 2 model no. For FW DNX select DNX_FWR.BIN and For IFWI select IFWI.BIN and For OS IMAGE select DROIDBOT_DNX.IMG.POS_SIGN.BIN and also remember u need to download it according ro ur asus zenfone 2 model. You need to completely turn off the mobile when u will connect to it via usb it will automaticlly trun on u need to turn off it then click the Begin Dowmload button and then turn on ur device, after dectecting your device by xFSTK, it will start the process when it is done will show ''Success: FW+OS Download Complete''. After this it will show the 4 colours and then i will automaticlly reboot to bootloader... Cogo u successfully got to bootloader. I think this will work....

This is the video that i think u should watch for ur troubleshoot....

[ZenFone 2 General] Toronadian:
This guide worked the first time but I needed to redo it again (screwed something up a second time) and now it ain't working. Xfstk works until it starts rebooting the phone and then it gets stuck on my white spashscreen (from a botched bootloader unlock process) when it tries to write the OS. There's no way around this white splashscreen and then it gets stuck trying to reconnect to the device, which then causes Xfstk to time out. All I need is to get past the white splashscreen and I know it should work but it's stuck on it.

I have tried doing volume up+power to get into any sort of bootloader/fastboot mode or recovery, there's no way around this white splashscreen other than just powering off. If I do that, it restarts from the beginning and it never is able to write the OS part, as it just times out.

Great Guide, I had my phone back, now I am not sure what to do to upgrade to marshmellow and root again, I am so frustrated, I have always been an HTC user this is my 1st time with Asus devices, although they are great devices compared to the price you pay, but its really sad that there is very little support for it and very few modded roms.
[ZenFone 2 General] sukhwant717:
as u stated you unbricked your device means you are on stock. update to latest Lolipop. factory reset your device. and then update to marshmallow. just do not modify stock in any way if you want to update to MM
[ZenFone 2 General] vampvenom:
I have actually encountered even a bigger problem, after the fastboot was loaded and I was trying to flash the raw file using asus flash tool, the flash tool just stop and the phone was telling me statues: ok for over 30 min and I could see there was no activity, so I disconnected it and tried to go into fastboot again but it didn't work so I had to redo the xFSTK process mentioned in this thread but it would reach this "16:32:43 - XFSTK-STATUS--Firmware download completed. Continuing to OS..." and then restart and I hear the windows telling me that the device was disconnected but on the xFSTK it shows that the device is still connected and it goes on in a loop till it times out.

I hope I didn't just destroy the phone completely now.....I really can't afford a new one cause this one is already new!!!
[ZenFone 2 General] mengxaxau:
Start over

Set the value 4 zero not 5

When flashing raw,wait for about 10-15 minutes then disconnect ur phone,dont shutdown or restart..close asus flash tool then open again and flash again
[ZenFone 2 General] vampvenom:
I'm getting the same result, I even tried enabling and disabling GP flag override and it would fail at 5% and retry till it times out also.
[ZenFone 2 General] mengxaxau:
Set the gp value with 4 zero

Run xfstk as admin

If u can post a screenshot here
[ZenFone 2 General] vampvenom:
I have actually figured it out, since the FW process is working fine and it is not facing any issues, and then it says "continuing to OS..." that means only the OS is not being done so what I did is I simple removed the cable right when I see that message and then replug start over only this time I would remove the directory value from FW DnX and IFWI to appears as "n/a" and only leave the OS image file and begin download, and hoora it booted to the bootloader.
[ZenFone 2 General] mengxaxau:
So can flash raw?
[ZenFone 2 General] vampvenom:
Yes but you must install Asus flash tool while being on "disable driver signature enforcement" and then flash the raw and it should work, I suggest you also stay on disabled driver sig.... I think its safer that way.

now I am back to 6.0 however I just couldn't unlook bootloader even though I have tried almost everything there is to try, I will wait until some solid tool comes into light.

Please help. Its urgent! I was on CM 14.1 Nougat and I now I want to flash back to the Stock Lollipop. I connected my phone to the PC and entered into the bootloader mode. In the Minimal ABD and Fastboot folder, I pasted three img files - boot.img, droidboot.img and recovery194.img. I opened a command window in that folder and typed "fastboot devices". My device was listed. Then I executed three commands consecutively. The commands were:

fastboot flash recovery recovery194.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img

I successfully flashed these three images. After that, I unplugged my phone and tried to go to the recovery mode. But I can't enter the recovery. Whenever I try to go into the recovery mode, the phone boots into the bootloader mode even if I power off the phone and hold the power button and volume up button to force into the recovery. The phone just keeps booting into the bootloader mode. PLEASE HELP!

Hello , can you tell me what IFWI version it is in bootloader ?

If this is 551ml ? if it is ?

Anyway , running 14.1 initially you should have M bl 0094 0183

if it is then you need to reflash the 3 files again for M 4.21.40 .134

see here , thanks go to shakalaca >

https://mega.nz/#F!k4MHiAgL!dVuOKeH3eokcwPSNI79ffw!JtcS1abK

When flashed , boot to recovery and sideload full .134 asus firmware or you can downgrade via SD card , see my 2nd link in my signature
[ZenFone 2 General] Debo Jyoti:
in the bootloader mode, IFWI VERSION is 0094.0183 ... i want to install the latest STOCK MARSHMALLOW but for that, I think we must have the STOCK LOLLIPOP 194 version? So first, I need to install the stock LP... Please help.
[ZenFone 2 General] timbernot:
No you don't , please follow my first reply , get M.134 up and running, then update to the latest M
[ZenFone 2 General] Debo Jyoti:
okay, let me do that...
[ZenFone 2 General] Debo Jyoti:
i sucessfully entered the recovery. Now regarding the 134 firmware, do I need to download it from the ASUS site or shall I just zip the entire 134 folder that I downloaded from MEGA?
[ZenFone 2 General] Debo Jyoti:
It was on UPDATING IFWI for 2 mins and is stuck at WRITING SPLASHSCREEN IMAGE since 10 minutes...
[ZenFone 2 General] timbernot:
is it still on writing splashscreen ?

You may need to use the downgrade version from M recovery to LP via ext sd card if it doesnt go any further ,

https://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/help/success-downgrade-mm-to-lp-via-sd-card-t3520642 :good:

Ps , downgrading wipes all data in the process , normally i would say back up your data but you are coming from brick after flashing incorrect .img`s initially
[ZenFone 2 General] Debo Jyoti:
Its finally installed. I am now on 134. I want to now update to the latest build. Will I do that by ADB sideload or just install the firmware from my sdcard (from the phone, not from recovery)?
[ZenFone 2 General] timbernot:
Great news :good: , so it finally finished flashing ? how long for future reference did it take ?

Put asus firmware .144 / .184 / .223 on ext sd card ---and reboot , you should get notification to update after reboot :good:

If you dont , go to file manager and edit the UL-bla bla .144-user.zip and put another .zip on the end so should read UL-bla bla .144-user.zip.zip

Thats the long way ;)

But better to have on SD ready if you ever need to downgrade and re-upgrade in the future.

ps , hit the thanks buttons where i helped you ;)
[ZenFone 2 General] Debo Jyoti:
Thanks a lot for the info! :) This means everytime, I try to roll back to STOCK from CUSTOM, I should flash the 134 version and then proceed to update to the latest firmware. And yeah, I'll surelty hit like! :)
