Yup u got temp... bootloader , the only other thing I can suggest barr using sukuwants fastboot cmds is another flashtool.

1.14 is on 1st page.

Try that if you haven't or the newer version 1.34 I think it is.

All other drivers installed ?

How did u brick or did u buy the phone bricked ?
[ZenFone 2 General] marshmallow24:
Hi again Mr sukhwant717. I tried these steps accordingly. but from item number 5 I am already getting an error message in cmd stating that it is "FAILED" talking about partition. it seems like it was corrupted or something? many thanks

---------- Post added at 09:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 AM ----------

Hi Mr Timber. It's a pleasure btw. sorry to be bothering you about my concern, hehe. I'm still struggling :( I just replied with Mr. suk's message and still getting errors from item number 5 onwards. pertaining to partition issues i guess? all drivers were installed and fastboot cmds as well. Based on my understanding, flashtool is the easy way and cmds is the long and hard way right? I hope my phone can get fixed before my baby is born :( btw I bricked my phone when I was trying to do manual factory reset. the phone took like 30 mins when I was deleting user data then I turned off my phone. after that, the usb logo just appeared...
[ZenFone 2 General] timbernot:
Ok , fully understand although try other flashtools like mentioned if no success with sukuwants stuff.

Maybe also try another xfstk download say something didn't load correctly initially.

Then immediately try flashtools again , you get serial 0tof in flashtools when connected too?

Sometimes , a simple cable disconnection and reconnect can be the ticket and a reload...vol plus etc
[ZenFone 2 General] timbernot:
Just unbricked another Zen with this method , again I never experienced the staying on four colour screen bug.

When and if I do ever experience this I will try to find a fix.

Update ,

It seems a lot of people are still bricked trying all methods on the internet still.

So , for all the people still bricked , I will make a long detailed version video starting from installing drivers right through to flashing and getting correct serial number soon , setting up and upgrading to 6 etc.

I will also upload all files I used.

The 4 colour problem which a few experiencing , I think is down to later files or corrupt files picked up and redownloaded across the web ;)

I only ever witnessed staying on 4 colours twice and ..pressing download again in xfstk whilst holding power button plus vol+ until two buzzes and release sufficed each time to bring back bootloader ;).

Hopefully get this done for Sunday ;)
[ZenFone 2 General] timbernot:
Just bricked my zenny , done a new video because its been a while since i last had to use XFSTK -- OP will have a new video soon for people who have never witnessed the daunting task of unbricking, unbrick , restore sn and into system in under 15 mins !

I ask only one thing -- DO NOT SPAM THIS THREAD WITH JUNK DATA ! like the last two spammers - Or i will remove and delete the video !

coming soon

A HUGE thank you to timbernot for this thread + video! I couldn't get the moorefield to show up until I essentially nuked everything off the phone and built it back from scratch 1 step at a time.

Couldn't believe a factory reset inside a ROM nearly bricked this phone.

[ZenFone 2 General] timbernot:
If you tried the discon battery and board etc, and what you have been advised here and in numerous other threads and you still have the same problem after nearly a month , maybe its time to call it a day with that device . :good:

Or send it to someone who can fix it for you if the problem can be fixed
[ZenFone 2 General] cbrokey:
Dont think I can get back my ZF2....all I get is the USB logo appearing after charging the phone for a couple of nights...and when I connect the phone to the computer I get a message "USB device not recognised"...nothing shows up in device manager too or in the ASUS Flash tool or xFSTK-Downloader...

I have tried different USB ports and its the same...
[ZenFone 2 General] audit13:
You installed the proper Intel USB drivers before installing xFSTK? Did you try opening xFSTK and connecting the phone when it is power off? If it tries to turn back on, did you try leaving it connected to xFSTK and forcing it to power off by pressing and hold the power button? I also has this problem and also had the 4-colour bar problem too. I eventually got xFSTK to recognize the phone and flash a temp bootloader by constantly forcing the phone to power off.
[ZenFone 2 General] cbrokey:
Did all that...and uninstalled the drivers and re-installed them...think I have tried everything...I think it has something to do with the message I am getting when the phone powers on after being connected that the "USB device is not recognised"...
[ZenFone 2 General] audit13:
Does device manager give you the "USB device not recognized" message with the phone off too? The phone powers itself on when you connect it to a computer or charger?
[ZenFone 2 General] cbrokey:
The message comes up not long after connecting when the phone I guess starts itself and it repeats when the phone powers itself down and then back up again.

Yeah, and the phone powers itself on (the USB logo appears) when I connect it to a charger...I have been turning it off when charging.
[ZenFone 2 General] audit13:
I had the same problem with it always powering up as soon as I connected it to xFSTK.

I got xFSTK to work after a few tries by opening xfSTK, starting the download, connecting the phone to my computer which automatically caused the phone to power up. As soon as the phone started to power up, I pressed and kept the power button pressed which caused xFSTK to recognize the phone and start flashing. Everytime it started to power up again, I pressed and held the power button down.
[ZenFone 2 General] cbrokey:
Were you getting the message that the device wasnt recognised when it was powering up? this is the key as the phone isnt being recognised by windows to it wont be able to communicate (transfer files) to the phone...

Tried that a many times but still with the same result....
[ZenFone 2 General] audit13:
Not sure what to say. The phone is not completely bricked because it boots.

Has the device ever been detected by xFSTK? I assume you're selling Moorefield as the processor.
[ZenFone 2 General] cbrokey:
That is the frustrating thing about the phone...it is only a soft brick as it is still able to be switched on to some extent and I am getting a response i.e. the USB logo... :eek:

Has the device ever been detected by xFSTK? I assume you're selling Moorefield as the processor.[/QUOTE]

It was up until a day ago when I was mucking around with ADB commands....it was then showing up in the device manager as Moorefield...and xFSTK was detecting it...
[ZenFone 2 General] audit13:
Has the phone ever been detected by xFSTK?
[ZenFone 2 General] cbrokey:
Yes...a day or so ago...cant remember what I did to have screwed this up :silly:
[ZenFone 2 General] audit13:
Maybe you need to start from scratch in that you need to start with a fresh OS install or uninstall everything and start over?
[ZenFone 2 General] cbrokey:
That sounds good and I would do that but how? If the phone cant be recognised by windows then I cant transfer anything to the phone...
[ZenFone 2 General] audit13:
This is true. Maybe there is a driver conflict or something because, even when my phone was constantly showing the white USB symbol, it would sometimes be recognized.

I always create backup images of my Win7x64 installation so I was able to restore a backup that had no Zenfone2-related software, installed the Intel USB drivers, xFSTK, and AFT.
[ZenFone 2 General] cbrokey:
I cant work out where the conflict would be....I only have a Surface Pro to try and test the phone on but its not being recognised at all when I plug it into the one and only USB port in the tablet....

I always create backup images of my Win7x64 installation so I was able to restore a backup that had no Zenfone2-related software, installed the Intel USB drivers, xFSTK, and AFT.[/QUOTE]

I am using Windows 10 so dont know if that makes a difference to the situation....
[ZenFone 2 General] audit13:
Your surface pro has a USB 3.0 port? I have also flashed a lot of Samsung phones and the f;ashing works more reliably with USB 2.0 ports.
[ZenFone 2 General] cbrokey:
I would expect so considering it is a new device...

.

I have a Samsung S3 as my back up that I am using while I try to get the ZF2 working again....I have flashed that numerous times more than likely on my old computer that had only USB 2 ports...
[ZenFone 2 General] audit13:
Is it possible to borrow a Win7 machine with USB 2.0 ports? Tried different USB cables?
[ZenFone 2 General] cbrokey:
Dont know anyone near me that has a computer with those specs...

Have tried a few different cables...
[ZenFone 2 General] audit13:
I wouldn't give up just yet. Maybe put the phone aside for now and try again later with another machine?
[ZenFone 2 General] cbrokey:
I wont be giving up until it stops responding....

Will have to see a mate who has a laptop that he just replaced with a newbie so will see if I can borrow the old one...

Thanks for all your help..

Good luck with your phone. Let us know the results. Thanks.
[ZenFone 2 General] cbrokey:
Thanks again...and will do...
[ZenFone 2 General] timbernot:
make sure xfstk downloader is completely uninstalled.

Uninstall AFT .

Clean PC and registry free with ccleaner.

Install ,isoc driver

When it states power cycle phone . Do it. Then don't go any further

Then , go about disable driver enforcement in windows , Google it for whatever version you are on.

When you go through this it will ask for you to restart PC.

Ignore the warning about isoc driver not being set up yet.

Reboot PC , power off phone and reboot phone while attached to PC while PC is rebooting.

You should see driver being set up on PC restart.

Do not install AFT until you get temp boot loader from xfstk downloader.
[ZenFone 2 General] cbrokey:
Thanks for taking the time to post this...will give it a go a bit later and let you know the outcome...have a lecture to go to soon...

I didnt get this but then again I didnt get the phone starting by itself and then getting the error message informing me that the USB device wasnt working...also no indication of isoc driver installing after rebooting but its there in the device manager...

Press power , at the first of two buzzes release , then press download at the same time

If you are talking of the phone buzzing/vibrating when powering up, the phone hasnt been doing that for a couple of days for some unknown reason...
[ZenFone 2 General] timbernot:
[MENTION=3880455]brokey[/MENTION]

Ok your phone battery maybe dead , put on charge , if gets warm its charging , try again in half hour, sometimes takes 24 hrs to charge depending on how much its been hammered and it does get hammered in xfstk
[ZenFone 2 General] brokey:
Will do...I have been hammering it for the last couple of days trying to get it going...
[ZenFone 2 General] timbernot:
How's it going there ?
[ZenFone 2 General] brokey:
I couldnt get the phone charged (no notification light or vibration when plugged in) so thought there must be something to do with the battery so I pulled the phone apart (removed the battery) and nothing...so I bit the bullet and took it to a repair shop today to see what they can make of it...
[ZenFone 2 General] timbernot:
They probably give it a quick charge straight to a charger .

But then , have the same probs again as you did trying to reflash it lol
[ZenFone 2 General] brokey:
Whilst I was in the shop, one of the techs pulled it apart and tried all the things that I have and didnt get anywhere either so they are sending it to their head tech area where they have a couple of android "experts"...will have to wait and see if they have more success than me...

I dont know...I am hoping they have better luck than me...not enjoying using my backup, an "old" Samsung S3 :silly:
[ZenFone 2 General] timbernot:
Well if you'd a put the correct gp over ride value in correctly at the beginning , shown in big numbers in the OP on first page ;) you wouldn't have killed the battery ;)
[ZenFone 2 General] brokey:
Yeah, well will just have to wait and see what the dr. says :p
[ZenFone 2 General] timbernot:
What makes it hard for us to try and sort out ;)

is

Generally people post in the thread where they used the method they tried ;)

Unfortunately , you used values from somewhere else , then posted here your problems ;)

Nearly 3 pages later and your screen shot revealed the mistake within settings

Which must've been not from my guide.

So please , think on next time ;)

A big THANKS

I successfully restored my brother's Zenfone 2 by using your video. :D

I had come up to 4 colors and then nothing. :(

But going through all the pages in this thread I changed the GP value to 4"0"s instead of 5 and then used xFSTK tool. :confused:

It failed and I left it for the 20 attempts. :crying: Then restored to 5"0"s and then successfully got to bootloader. :highfive:

After that using the video I flashed the Zenfone twice to get it to working state.:o

Thanks for the wonderful video. Really appreciate the help.:good:

AFT does an integrity check before flashing.

What IFWI Version does it state you have in bootloader ?

You have ticked erase data in AFT ?

Thats LP bootloader .

You should re flash xFSTK again and get 0094.0169 temp bootloader and do what we've discussed two part aft flash straight after ;)

Do the commands run the same as in the video ?

Usually takes around 2mins to start to move .

Can you

fastboot erase data

first and retry ?

Good night
[ZenFone 2 General] uniacidz:
Just wanna say, I got this phone about 3 weeks so second hand and got the LCD issue

Screen went black and then slowly worked again but have lines and ghosting.

So decided to Marshmellow it and it became a brick. Apparently doesn't like disabled apps, so make sure of them all enabled again

So as a brick, no screen and some occasional vibration, I was ready to throw it out

Tried YouTube videos stating what files and programs to use similar to this thread and it came to life

Eventually got a USB symbol on screen

Then followed instructions but finally got into boot loader

Then raw image eventually then updated to Lollypop for now and installed TWRP and SuoerSU

Basically one big circle

Everything does work for recovery , patience

Hello, sorry I typed wrong the IFWI information that appears on the fastboot.

This is the right number, I miss the "01" there ....

0094.1069

My case was as follows:

I was trying to make the root from a video on youtube https: //www .youtube .com/watch?v=ru1eJ7NXBHE in my zenfone 2 and it did not work, I had never done any other procedure on this device, just the one in the video, I did the procedures as it showed and then my cell phone started to stay in the boot loop of the asus logo forever.

I would try your tutorial to try to come back to life, I am desperate, this cell phone is from my company work. is important.
