it's along time ago ,a decade even since I last had Qualcomm HTC one.

And things have probably moved on since ;)

I was just informing Mr Brazil that xFSTK should not be used.

If you have bootloader.

You boot to it.

Scroll to fastboot,then in adb

Then write >

fastboot devices

Then write>

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

(remembering to put recovery file in adb fastboot folder

Then sideload via adb or update from sd.

Cannot remember exactly .

Put firmware on sd card .

Too in adb fastboot folder and change name of firmware folder in adb to MOFD_SDUPDATE

adb command is >

adb sideload MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip

Thanks for your reply .

Thanks for your fast reply buddy .

But the sad thing is my phone doesn't boot up , no vibration , no fastboot nothing .

All i can see whenever i plug my phone to PC , device driver will show as QHUSB_Bulk , and it will install drivers automatically and drivers will change to relink hs-usb qdloader 9008 .

After a research to flash device with QFIL and QPST i have installed Qualcomm drivers since then it is showing Qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 when i plug my phone to PC .

I am not able to do anything :(:(:(

I did similar with wiping HTC internal sd , was a tough one to fix and unfortunately very complicated .

Best advice for you is to see shakalacas thread on ASUS site about this, put your problem in his thread then send a pm

Hello. I bricked a Zenfone 2, tried this procedure and succedeed in getting Asus Flash Tool to recognize the phone.

The raw firmware flash failed, tho, and after trying to reboot the bootloader, now the phone is apparently dead.

Nothing is shown on the screen, long holding power button produces nothing.. no vibration, no USB logo, nothing. The phone doesn't react to anything.

If I connect it to the PC, it shows "Intel Soc" and Moorefield device", but other than that the phone does not show absolutely anything..

Any idea? Many thanks in advance.

[ZenFone 2 General] raphaelts3:
Guys, here how I did to fix my zenfone2, i tried these steps severals times but without success. So, after 2 days and a lot of downloads, I was able to solve by follow theses steps:

1) Follow the steps 1 and 2 from the original post.

2) Download and install Intel Platform Flash Tools Lite, in my case I used PlatformFlashToolLite 5.8.3.0

3) Extract the raw file download from the original post.

3.1) edit sec_update_image.bat and change the dir from platform flash tools to the respective folder in your pc.

3.1*) in my case, change the folder in bat didn't worked so i run in cmd the following command before try to run sec_update_image.bat(in the same cmd):
[MENTION=352992]set[/MENTION] fastboot_path="%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\Intel\Platform Flash Tool Lite\fastboot.exe"

3.*) I think that, if you zip the extract raw to a zip file you can use in platform flash tool lite, but I didn't tried that, because the first method works for me, so I done with that XD

THAT'S IT, AND YOU CAN SEE THE PROGRESS.

I really hope it could help other people.

Ps: sorry my bad english, I'm brazilian XD
[ZenFone 2 General] timbernot:
This sounds promising for those who for whatever reason cannot flash raw in AFT , although i have never experienced failure flashing raw from AFT .

1&2 steps of original post is virtually unbricked with a temp bootloader -- the rest is a doddle IMO

But for those who do experience this malfunction ? How about a better detailed flashing procedure ? Maybe a new thread of your own :cool::good:

Hello, I am new and I am not really practical of forums. So I feel sorry if I do something wrong here. I am following this guide in order to repair my phone. I am stuck to the Asus Flash Tool step. I think to have done every step right, now the Asus flash tool sees my phone, and I can load the Flash image, BUT when I press Start botton it asks to me if I want to wipe data. I press Yes, but then nothing happens, the Blue circle does not become yellow and does not start to work...Someone, please, can help me? I am getting mad about this. 3 days that I trying to repair my phone :crying: ..thank you who replies me.

if you are able to boot to os. and you are rooted. flash bootloader and recovery via terminal..

another thing u can try, enable usb debugging and try running command adb reboot recovery. if succesful factory reset there. you can try adb reboot bootloader as well
[ZenFone 2 General] BohArie:

AFT error

Hello,

I'm trying to unbrick ZE551ML, xFSTK passes well, first attempt with AFT (when serial No is 0123456789ABCDEF) seems to be fine.

But when I'm trying to flash with AFT again it finds correct serial number, flashes about 3-5 minutes and returns an error - wrong image format. Screen here joxi.ru/bmoYDkXtDpDPAy

There was the same results with other .raw files - 2.15... and 2.20...

Any help, guys ?

Solved with unpacking RAW and executing sec_update_image.bat

It looks like I have some partition error or splashscreen error, but I got fastboot flash splashscreen splashscreen.img machine ok, ok.

Hello!

I went really far on this thread and the tutorial itself... My phone suddenly turned off while updating Asus's original firmware, then it never came back on. It would vibrate as if turning on, but the screen remained dark, not even the backlight turned on.

After I found this, I managed to fiddle with the Intel SoC drivers and the xfstk Downloader, after a few tries, I managed to get my phone to download the firmware part (By plugging in, turning off the phone, then turning back on with the Volume - held down together with power).

The FW part flashes normally... but when the phone is about to flash the OS part, it just disconnects and attempts to turn back on... Can I get some help with this?

Correct value in XFSTK Downloader tools should be 0x80000807 (4-zeros, not 5-zeros)

Dear friends and fwFlashers, if you experience a problem with flashing by this great tutorial, that's why there is an error in the part related to Overriding Flag GP in XFSTK Downloader tool! If you use the value as in tutorial (0x800000807) you will get in trouble with (Firmware download completed. Continuing to OS...) #20 attemts and entering in Fastboot mode, also flashing RAW rom using ASUS Flash Tool takes loooonng time and never finishes, this is happening because of wrong mentioned value. The correct value should be 0x80000807 (4-zeros, not 5-zeros).

That's why you get this kind of errors in XFSTK Downloader tool

22:55:40 - XFSTK-STATUS--PASS

22:55:40 - XFSTK-STATUS--Firmware download completed. Continuing to OS...

22:55:50 - XFSTK-STATUS--Reconnecting to device - Attempt #1

..............................

22:56:09 - XFSTK-STATUS--Reconnecting to device - Attempt #20

22:56:10 - XFSTK-STATUS--Timeout to detect the device, make sure to charge up your phone before flashing

I've spent 5-6 hours following Sumit007s' tutiorial+googling and at last, after 40-50 attempts (some of them succeeded in XFSTK but RAW update never ended in ASUS Flash Tool), the post that helped me is this:

https://www.asus.com/zentalk/in/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=105311&pid=586095

So thank you all, I've unbricked my friend's ZF2, and made it happy today!

I hope this my correction of this great tutorial will help you guys!

Best regards!
