3. Flash stock recovery

thx for response

1. im forgot to write ive been charged that phone for 24 hrs and still stuck in question mark (before flash with xfstk and can't get into droidboot)

2. i cant run xfstk 151 because will give blank box so replace with 1.7

3. absolutely cant touch this one , i've flashed stock recovery, droidboot, boot img in fastboot mode but always get back into fastboot/droidboot mode

im just courious wth is happening with this zen5 too many same things happen

Youre in L87?

You ve got stage 2/3 where fastboot is recovery.

Is your droidboot still load from xfstk?
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andromeiden:
im sorry sir what is L87

im following tutorial 1-11

and from tutorial no 12 debrick.bat cant run properly u can see the error in my reply post before

so skipped no 12 and go through my own way using xfstk to force it flash droidboot etc

after get into droidboot im flashing boot.img,droidboot.img,recovery.img

i think im missing too many process from debrick.bat which is main process to fix partition or something

and now the phone only get into droidboot mode, ex press power button only, or pressing vol up and power,or choose recovery from droidboot will stuck at droidboot mode :confused:

im really sorry for terrible english

and if you mean fastboot is recovery we have different perspective

because droidboot or fastboot are the same thing for me, and option for fastboot mode contains reboot droidboot, recovery, power off, etc

and recovery mode contains wipe data, wipe cache adb sideload etc

[ HELP ]

[ HELP ]

At 1st, my Zen5 KK (442) it's stuck only on USB logo (can't get into the Droidboot/ Flashboot).

Fortunately after i followed steps 1 - 16, now i can get in the Droidboot/ Flashboot section,

BUT when i choose the "Recovery" option, the phone only showed green Android lying down with exclamation mark on its tummy, there is no text "No Command", and when i press the Vol (-) & Vol (+) 1x, it doesn't show the "Recovery menu", so i can't "adb sideload" my Zen5.

Details:

-Zen5 KK 442 never rooted

-FW UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.21.40.54

I use fastboot.img, boot.img, recovery.img from WW-2.21.40.54 firmware file.

What should i do to get in the Recovery mode?

may i ask, what will happen i flash a wrong software image version? does it completely bricked the device? got a 2015 zenfone 5 t00j, and thats the only information i had since i recieve this in this condition. no fastboot, no recovery. would someone help me find the correct fw image for this device? thanks

update: now im not really sure what version of zenfone im in, tried to flash ww and tw fastboot recovery images, and clicked debrick.bat, usb logo appears but, download mode supposed to be that fast to flash both images which last more than 10secs, before reboot started. --and still stuck at intel logo. what am i missing?`
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gradd:
ive been following this thread for almost a week now, not realizing i have different variant of zen5 not until i unscrew the battery back housing, hopefully someone would give me recommendations coz frankly, i dont know what im supposed to be doing next coz some points out a501cg only has 8gb internal. so its very confusing. ?

[IMG="further inspections confirms this is not a a500cg device"]http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.com/3/9/7/5/5/9/5/IMG_20161220_231557.jpg[/IMG]

i have zen5 a501cg the 16gb variant, i dont know either what sku this phone is running back then the days its still working. the only last known cause is that this was previously on kitkat and after updating via ota (lollipop) it just ended up like this after a few reboots!

i can run debrick.bat with no errors i pressume, even xfstk returns me a successful download. but when the device reboots after those process, im still stucked on intel logo with no droidboot, fastboot or recovery :(

please someone shed some light, ive included xfstk logcat in the attachments. thank you
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paktepu:
A501CG and A500CG use the same firmware.

The only difference between them is the CPU.

A501CG uses Intel Atom Z2520 @ 1.2GHz

A500CG uses Intel Atom Z2580 @ 2.0GHz

and their SKU TW CN WW CHT

You can find it in Settings - About

Flashing wrong SKU may make your device brick

This debrick tool from this thread is for SKU WW
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gradd:
thanks for your reply, so if the debricking tool in this thread doesnt work for me, does it mean my zen5 isnt a ww sku? ill give it a shot, to download all sku clise to the version of the sku in the op suggests

edit2//

im guessing i have issues running debrick.bat, is it supposed to run that fast? after xfstk at the end of cmd it just exits and reboots the zen5. absolutely no information that it flashed, just dots and more dots before it exits

i even borrowed a friends win7 32bit laptop but the results are still the same. latest files that were downloaded are:

ww,tw,cn and cht that are for versions 2.21.40.30, already tried them all one by one. the other threads outside xda suggest a newer shortfuze.zip that provided in this thread, i even tried that one but no signs that the zen would boot atleast to fastboot

[IMG="firmwares"]http://i.imgur.com/ZigVro9.png[/IMG]

last fw ive tried is this for WW sku,

here after running debrick.bat, (as admin or not) still same result: xfstk reconnecting

and on the phone side, it just shows a usb. white bar then suddenly became green then reboot afterwards until intel logo... it also closes the cmd after the phone vibrates prior to booting

[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paktepu:
Actually debrick tool is an xfstk downloader. It will download necesary file to your device.

Make sure you have full battery and try debrick once again.

Piwer off your device, press and hold vol down about ten sec. Connect to pc and run debrick.bat.

Release vol down after your pc has detect intel cloverviewplus.

Your phone will reboot to droidboot mode. Need to do it again if your failed. The time between press and release vol down must correct.

Youre done if it succed load droidboot

You need to flash original droidboot, boot and recovery.img. Then you can sideload zip from recovery mode.
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gradd:
ah one more thing, how am i able to charge the zen if its stuck at boot?? frankly i dont know how much battery left on this device since it handed to me last dec8.

im goin to try again, and follow your advise. 10secs before connecting as clover view... if things doesnt work out just right, maybe i have issues my laptop is that right? i have 64bit windows10 enterprise, but the drivwrs provided in op installs just fine so its a mystery :confused:
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paktepu:
Full charge dont need device to power on. Power off your device and plug. You will seeing battery indicator charging, led indicator red and turn to blue if its full.

Try to do it in win7 32 bit since isoc usb driver in this thread 32 bit. But you can install it by win7 compatibility. Or try to find automatic drivers. Power off device, press and hold vol down. Connet it to pc, windows will search drivers itself.

Make sure you install drivers complete, like intel usb drivers and asus pc link for pc.

Good luck

[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gradd:
to those encountering driver issues including xfstk stopping. kindly check device manager if you see clover view in one of the installed drivers, clover view will only be visible if you connected the zen to usb while holding volume down. its somewhat confusing whether it the device is off or in standby for cloverview. to shutdown the device completely, press and hold power button for 10secs before attempting again to connect the device in cloverview

for those who have experience already using this debricking method, they may somehow help if new users will include what machine they're using, if its win7 or x86 or x64.
