You remind me of myself

I did the same thing in April and had to go to service center as i couldnt make it work that time, they fixed it within 24hours

But now there are lots of recovery methods that u could try
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] abihary:
Try deep flash methode, just need to buy deep flash cable in market. For the guidance, please try to googling it in miui forum due to already available there.

Yesterday, one of my friend succesfull to restore her kenzo from diagnostic mode and really happy with the result.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] tuxing:
Try the simple deep flash method mentioned here -

http://en.miui.com/thread-310325-1-1.html

I was able to recover my rn3 from 900e mode using this.

It's very simple and easy. You just need a copper wire strand to do it.

Use Deep Flash Method

I had the exact same problem so I tried deep flash method. It worked and my phone was detected by the PC as 9008. Then I could flash the fastboot rom using Miflash tool. Hope this helps.

Hi,

I just bought a new XDA NOVA (O2 German Version).

Thanks for helping out this beginner :)

Hello,

I feel so stupid, but this is what happened:

I opened Software Update Assistant, connected my device via non-stable USB slot and clicked "Upgrade Device".

During upgrade USB connection lost and upgrade failed.

Now I have Software Update Failed blue screen with message "use the Verizon Software Repair Assistant on a computer to repair your device and complete the update".

I tried to use the Repair Assistant on my computer with another USB slot but for some reason it failed as well.

I tried to "Delete" the device to start again the repair:

Successfully downgraded to 1.16.40.763 from 1.17.40.1234 without root

Thanks!
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] ThanveerAliSayed:
Currently iam on marshmallow. My phone is zenfone laser 550kl. Iam having some problems with the marshmallow recovery because of that when doing apply update from sd card it is resulting an error.

Failed to mount/asdf.

So i like to flash the lolipop recovery while iam on the marshmallow and then do apply update from sd card. I like to go back to the 1.13 lolipop firmware

Is it possible to to flash the lolipop recovery while iam on marshmallow. If possible. Help me how to do that
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] sziraqui:
"Failed to mount /asdf" error is harmless you will get that error even on latest twrp. You can ignore the error and use the MM stock recovery like normal. Recovery will do its job it can format, install updates, clear cache and everything, you just need to ignore that /asdf error

But you can use any stock recovery from any firmware version lower than or equal to your current firmware version. Drawbacks: You cannot apply update to MM OTAs if your recovery version doesn't match the current firmware version.

Going back to stock 1.13 is a bad idea. I would recommend you to stay on MM since it has many performance improvements.

But still if you want to go back to lollipop, consider downgrading to the last lollipop update i.e. v1.17.40.1531

Xda Tips: 1. Never quote the entire OP (the main post here, called original post)

2. Don't say thanks, instead hit the :good: button

[Zenfone 2 Laser General] ThanveerAliSayed:
I got a 412 mb ota update some days before. I downloaded it. Apply it for proceed. Then it start checking system as usual phone restarted. But update did not happened. Instead this same error show up. Then i can only reboot system. Got an update failed message.since that when i check for updates iam not even getting any. May be it will be solved by a factory reset .but even if i get an ota. The update wont proceed .because the recovery wont allow me to do that

And also that wipe cache partition also results the same error .so without solving this error i cant update to the latest MM too :/ .
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] 4llerbuntu:
In my experience, the most reliable method is to

extract the recovery from the version of stock ROM you want to upgrade or downgrade to

Flash that recovery with fastboot

Wipe /system in fastboot

Reboot to recovery and update with the stock ROM .zip

Or

Even easier, use Sziraqui's fastboot ready .IMG files and just flash them via fastboot.:good:
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] kmrnagireddy:
where can i find the recovery file in Stock rom
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] 4llerbuntu:
The recovery is included in the stock ROM zip file. Extract the zip and you will find it inside.

Presumably if you want to flash the stock ROM you have already downloaded it?
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] murat124:
Hi, I see only boot.img in the zip file. Is there a hidden recovery?
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] kmrnagireddy:
I see only boot.img file , i didn't find any recovery.img file, in case if you have already done this probably yes then please share us the steps to get recovery from Stock rom.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] ThanveerAliSayed:
I cant find any recovery.img in the firmware zip. :/

Can you detaily explain that fastboot method as it is for flashing the lolipop recovery for downgrading to 1.13.

Iam a beginner in android. This is my first android phone.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] ThanveerAliSayed:
I found out that recovery for each firmware is available here. You should use a desktop browser to use this website.

[Zenfone 2 Laser General] murat124:
Thank you.

Can ZE551KL use the recovery.img from ZE550KL? My ZE551KL has the extra 1700(AWS) band.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] 4llerbuntu:
Please where are you guys downloading your stock rom from?

The stock zip is NOT flash-able like a custom ROM .zip. That's not how it works. If the Roms you have are custom recovery flash-able, they are not the OEM rom, they have been modified.

All the Roms I have come with a recovery.img file...

Then again if I have to explain how to use fast boot to flash the recovery, there is a good chance you shouldn't be messing around with fast boot.......

[Zenfone 2 Laser General] 4llerbuntu:
Weird ..... I can find recovery.img
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] ThanveerAliSayed:
Can anyone explain me detail. How to flash recovery only. My bootloader is not unlocked. Someone said that i need to unlock bootloader to flash the stock recovery
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] sziraqui:
You don't need to unlock bootloader for flashing stock recovery that you downloaded from the above mega drive.

To flash the recovery.img (or any .img) You need to have Adb and fastboot files in your pc as well as Asus Zenfone drivers installed

All info and downloads for adb and fastboot can be found here

Search and download Asus ZenFone 2 laser drivers.

Once you have your pc setup with these tools,

With Administrator priveleges, locate the folder where adb.exe and fastboot.exe files are present. Hold down shift key and right click on that folder and select "open command window here". Then reboot your phone to fastboot mode [power off, hold vol up +power, release power when logo appears]

Connect your device to pc.

Type the following command on cmd

fastboot devices

Output should be something like this

FCAHSJSJJAKAK fastboot

This command will check if your device is connected or not

If output is blank, device is not being detected.

To flash recovery.img, copy the recovery.img file to the same folder where fastboot.exe exists and then type

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Output is easy to understand, if it says [OKAY] then flashing succeeded

Tried downgrading ze551kl by fastboot erase system then installing .zip from Asus website (via sdcard). All of the Asus updates except the earliest fail with 'fota return code 403'.

1.14.40.550 installs ok but then boots (gets as far as displaying the wallpaper), gives an error message in german (looks like 'android media process stopped') and goes into boot loop. Anyone seen this before?

Also, any way to build a recovery.img from the Asus update files?

Why this much complicated the task, simple method i will tell you dude...Just use the stock recovery and boot images of any Firmware version 1.15 , 1.16, 1.17 and install any of these firwares you like through ADB sideload, [Except MM version 1.20 it need 1.17 recovery] If you want to see how it is done visit my youtube channel "TheMobileShots"

Hello. I'm using ZE601KL: MM stock with Root and TWRP.

Asus has released two updates for my version, but I can not install it because it has "unlock bootloader" / root / recovery TWRP.

I wonder if this procedure will revert all this to stock (original)?

Can I download the latest firmware version (WW_V21.40.1220.1902) or the same version as I have in my ZE601KL (WW_V21.40.1220.1698)?

After updating I will be able to do root / recovery / bootloader?

Goodmorning everyone,

sorry if i reopen an old discussion, but I find myself with a big one

problem on my smartphone Asus ZE550KL Z00LD;

I had problems installing the AOSP 6.7 custom ROM and thinking

, ignorantly, that it was a Marshmallow problem, i did the

downgrade to Lollipop, installing the StockBoot 1.16.40.763 and its

stock Rom Lollipop 1.16.40.763.

Now I find myself with Lollipop stock rom, bootloader unlocked (and therefore i can't

do no update to MM via OTA ...), and i can't install

no custom ROM from TWRP.

Can you tell me how I can update the ROM in Marshmallow and then

to install a custom ROM?

thanks a lot

4. What features we will miss if we go for cyanogen 13?

6. Seems there are lot of rooting and unlocking method. Can anyone tell me the correct link for finding the best one?

Please help me......
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenbo111:
All the links can be found in the index thread in the general forum. I think the best root method would be what they call method 3. There's a newer unlocking method that supposedly you can relock if you need to. I'd try that one. Cm13 is the Rom I've been using since early March. I love it. The only things that don't work atm are flip cover and fm radio. Although some asus apps have some limitations in cm. You can go back to stock, but to update after that you just have to do it manually rather than Ota. (not a big deal)

I'm thinking to buy a new charger for my phone since it was broken. Do I need to buy the default (1A) or should I go to 1.5A?
[One (M7) Accessories] coal686:
AFAIK, the phone will only take a maximum of 1A. It doesn't help or hurt to go more though. So, if the 1.5A charger is cheaper, I'd go that route since you could then use it on other devices that require more juice ("future proofing").
[One (M7) Accessories] thaisport_sf:
Go with any Quick Charge charger. I personally have the Quick Charge 3.0 Aukey 2 port because I also have an HTC 10. I can tell you that it will charge the phone faster than the stock charger. The M7 has Quick Charge 1.0 technology but the stock charger wasn't a quick charge charger. With with a quick charge charger you can get a fill charge in a little over a hour 40 mins.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Beefheart:
You don't need to erase everything, that is complete horses**t.

First off you need to confirm you have the Exynos international version. If you're on the Snapdragon version, you're s**t out of luck as the bootloader is locked and root isn't possible at this time, nor will it likely ever be.

You then have two option, install CF Autoroot from ODIN and leave your recovery as stock. Or install TWRP over your recovery via ODIN and install SuperSU from a zip file from within TWRP. Either way you won't lose data. See the following threads.

CF Autoroot -- http://xdaforums.com/s7-edge/development/sm-g935-exynos-cf-auto-root-t3337354

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Hisma:
You only need to erase everything if you want to flash custom roms in twrp. Otherwise you can just root with cf autoroot and you're all set
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] lvnatic:
As the others said, flashing cf autoroot in odin won't erase anything, will leave your phone as is and will add supersu.

You should be aware that by rooting you will trip the knox flag, which permanently breaks samsung pay, and will break the following stuff on the stock rom: private mode, secret mode in the browser with fingerprint authentication (which can later be fixed by flashing a custom Rom).

If you want a properly working twrp recovery, you will have to erase everything, including the internal storage of the phone, there is no way around it.

If you absolutely must have root and you're into custom roms then I say do it now, if you're OK with the stock firmware I would advise not to root. This phone doesn't have too much development and you should not expect too many custom ROMs. I personally regret rooting.
