Hi,

I'm kinda desperate for my t00j a501cg. I tried all the internet guides but still stuck with bootloader and no recovery.

I'll explain better: From cloverplus i've installed fastboot (initially the phone stay stuck on asus logo), after used a twrp autoinstaller 2.8.7.0,and worked but can't do nothing with that recovery,keep saying error mounting cache,adb,data and lots of other message.

no adb sideload working, no formata data\wipe working() and overall, can't install fw (errors are unable to Mount /adf-apd-cache-data-system-unable to Mount storage).CANT'INSTALL OTHER RECOVERY.

If I try to flash any recovery(original,philztouch, newer twrp) in bootloader using adb command says gives me no error but when select recovery and again i'm in bootloader.

If the phone is already unlocked it start with twrp 2.8.7.0, if not just go only with bootdroid.

further, when I push sec-offline-update- image from debrick folder everything goes well but for partitions. Partitions could not be written (fìfastboot oem partitions… remote GPT COMMAND FAILED) AND >fastboot flash system .\system.img sending 'system' SAYS failed to Mount/data /data available 0mb file size

1172 mb

I can't remove twrp recovery.

I can't change recovery.

Can't flash os directly from bootloader

I need just to erase all the partitions and the phone to start everything again, I found a "blankphone.exe" from the web, but can't find the file.

pls, help, thanks

It runs 'till attempt #20 and than "Timeout to detect the device, make sure to charge up your phone before flashing" massage. Battery is almost full...

If ur fastboot is back, then it must be locked and u must flash the signed fastboot and recovery. U will get the signed fastboot, boot and recovery images in the firmware zip file.

As your instruction after flashing fastboot,boot and recovery I have to run sec_offline_update_image.cmd.

But when sec_offline_update_image.cmd is finished and my device is booted,My device only show a battery with question mark.

Bro While Running sec_offline_update_image.cmd I have a error named "/spare"

I think I have issue with partition.

16.Now run sec_offline_update_image.cmd in Asus Zenfone 5 A500CG Debrick folder. It will fix your partition table

But after finishing this step I have a battery Logo.

Problem 1:

My problem is that after running sec_offline_update_image.cmd, I cannot access the bootloader. It just shows the battery logo with question mark.

I can only access recovery, but it is not 2.21.40.30 recovery.

Answer:

Did the sec_offline_update_image.cmd run successfully?

Yes it did. And then when it reboots it just shows the battery logo with a question mark.

The only error was when /spare was being wiped.

This is my problem now

Can't confirm, Asus builds same model phones with different hardware models. For me, no unlocking tool can make the camera working. Even when i used to run the CM 13.1, I had black/blank/dark camera. but it used to capture photos if the flash is always ON. otherwise black photos only. this camera issue is for few users, my bad im one of them. most of the users are running with unlocked bootloader and their cameras are working fine. So, you need to test whether ur camera works or not.
