Done. With soft copper brush.good thing i still have that thing around :laugh:

Now just need to wait for 2 days
[ZenFone 2 General] sukhwant717:
one more pointer. after two days do not connect battery connector.

First assemble you device. but do not connect battery. connect all other connectors. put two screws to usb PCB to hold it. connect usb and connect device to pc.

now run xFSTK with administrator privilege. load files (use originally provided). use correct gp flag value 0x80000807. tick gp flag over ride. change device detection timeout to let say 200 seconds. click ok. and click begin download. now it will start waiting for device. now connect the battery connector. it will start download. if after connecting battery download do not starts within few seconds. simply press power button for few seconds till pc makes detection sound.
[ZenFone 2 General] LiquidXed:
I found if u hold the power button for 10-12 sec (hold longer if you want) to turn if off completely, release. Then hold just vol-(down) then plug in the usb it starts in download mode better.. Dont touch the power button

---------- Post added at 10:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 AM ----------

Im installing the drivers through comand prompt in admin mode. Does that not work? Is the moorefield driver the only one that is blocked? Because the other drivers install fine (merrifield, medfield) are all there.
[ZenFone 2 General] LiquidXed:
Got it to work.. Thank u so much..
[ZenFone 2 General] SirAnKeKu:
Yeah. I did what u said. But unfortunately still failed. With write binary stuff looping. Battery still have some juice, which resulted the phone vibrating when connected. Did i miss something?

Also, i wanted to share the log. How do i do that?

Right now i letting its battery drained
[ZenFone 2 General] LiquidXed:
What i did that worked.

Uninstall everything. Then reinstall everything without the phone plugged in.

Start xFSTK

get everything in xFSTK set up. Like the guide says

Still dnt connect the phone yet.

Hold down on power button for 15secs to make sure it turns off.

Push the begin button in xFSTK

Then hold vol down and plug it in. Dnt push the power button, let the usb turn it on.

That is the only way that worked for me.
[ZenFone 2 General] sukhwant717:
are you able to unbrick or still facing any issue.

for those who are not able to keep phone in moorefield mode. connect phone to pc. hold power button to turn it off completely.

now run xFSTK as administrator and load files , tick gpflags over ride. change device detection time out to 120 or what ever. click ok and then click begin download. when it start waiting for device. simply click power button for 2,3 seconds to turn on the device. xFSTK will force it to the required mode and download will start
[ZenFone 2 General] sukhwant717:
share the log file
[ZenFone 2 General] SirAnKeKu:
Yeah. I wanted to. But how do i share the log file? Like, how can i obtain it?
[ZenFone 2 General] fengshaun:
I bricked my phone (into bootloop with the logo) and I'm trying this method, but MOOREFIELD appears under "Other Devices" and I can't find Intel SOC in device manager (I followed all the steps). Also, xFSTK-Downloader keeps crashing. the gui never runs and the cmdline version keeps crashing. I'm on Windows 10. Is there any way I can get them running?
[ZenFone 2 General] sukhwant717:
first uninstall every thing everything means every driver related to asus and intel. uninstall xfstk. delete temorary files. now disable driver signature enforcement again. ( keep in mind after every reboot you have to disable driver sig eng. again.) now very first of all install intel soc drivers. connect your phone to pc and turn off and turn on. after that only you install xFSTK. and if gui keeps crashing and still you can not use it do report back i will tell u how to use it command line way.
[ZenFone 2 General] sukhwant717:
aha from gui select and copy it and paste in text file
[ZenFone 2 General] SirAnKeKu:
From gui? I can only select 1 line at a time if using gui

If u say from the command line interface, then that i can do
[ZenFone 2 General] fengshaun:
Thanks a lot! Removing other drivers worked flawlessly. I have recovered fully.
[ZenFone 2 General] sukhwant717:
good to know ur device working
[ZenFone 2 General] sukhwant717:
run xfstk go to modify setting then logging there tick log debug output to file and choose desired path to store it
[ZenFone 2 General] LiquidXed:
For me. If i push the power button with vol down, it wouldnt keep the drivers or device on. Only holdin the vol down and just plug it into usb worked.
[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:
I have marshmallow raw file. Do I still need to flash lollipop first as you have written in the post..

I am using NON AFT, using command prompt to flash.
[ZenFone 2 General] SirAnKeKu:

[ZenFone 2 General] Jiraz:
Hello,

So i explain the situation :

When my phone is on for the last time, I wanted to charge it and it didn't work. When i unplugged it, phone said it was charging. I did not understand what was going on so i plugged in again and went to bed.

In the morning, it didn't turn on, and during the night my friends said it was vibrating all the night but i didn't notice.

So I decided to drain the battery. When it was drained i charged it and after I test to turn on it but it didn't work.

I wanted to remove the battery. Because it's quite hard to remove it I just removed 2 plugs linked to the battery at the top. When i plugged in again, I try to turn it on but it didn't work. Every one minute approximately, my phone vibrates

So I decided to test this guide

So I am trying to install Intel Soc USB driver. I disabled the driver signature enforcement. Now I need to connect my phone to my PC and to see Moorefield Device in the device manager.

Now, I recognized a pattern :

1) My PC makes the sound that means something just plugged in

2) 2 sec

3) My PC makes the sound that means something has just disconnected

4) 1 sec

5) My phone vibrates 2 times like it's turning on or turning off

6) 2 minutes

7) => 1)

Please, what do you suggest me to do? It's rare I post something on a forum since there is often an answer in the net but now I am out of ideas, and I don't know what to do.

Just some thoughts :

- I don't think it's the sticky power key problem : I hear a sound when i press on the power button

- I don't think it's the battery because it's vibrating every 2 minutes

- I think the fact that my phone was showing it's charging while it's not bricked something somehow but I don't know what to do

- Maybe I didn't drain my battery enough, I saw that I should put my phone in my fridge, is it dangerous ?

- There was no LED on when my phone was charging.

Thanks in advance for your answer !

EDIT : After some research in this forum i found this thread : https://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/help/help-zenfone-2-black-screen-bootloader-t3499849

You need to use several combinations of VOL - VOL + and Power button to be able to connect for enough long time the moorefield device

For now I'm stuck at "Firmware download completed. Continuing to OS..." I will keep reading the threads :)

A nice pdf explaining the process : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2oMRhweQ4CHaFJnMEZ4NUg1YlU/view from this thread https://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/general/guide-recover-fastboot-bricked-zenfone-t3284337
[ZenFone 2 General] sukhwant717:
don't panic its pretty common. very first of all put your device on charge for approximately 4-5 hours with original charger. then open the back panel of device and disconnect battery connector from motherboard. ( no need to pull out battery as it is firmly connected with tape just put a small piece of paper under battery connector so it do not pass current to motherboard) after disconnecting connector take a wire and short multiple points to discharge capacitors on motherboard. now leave your device disconnected from battery for min 3 to 5 days. so the capacitors on motherboard are completely discharged.

after that return 3 or 5 days, (do not connect battery yet). connect your device to pc. run xfstk as administrator. load files, change and tick gp flags override (0x80000807), change device detection timeout to 120 or whatever longer. click okay to save settings and click begin download. it will start waiting for device

now pull paper placed under connector and connect battery. download will start immediately. if not press only power button for 4-5 seconds

for your issue. when download for os completes and phone restarts. start fast clicking volume plus button. you will boot into fastboot. if still not remove battery connector for two three days and try again
[ZenFone 2 General] Twocheeses:
So... I bricked my ZE550ML. That's what I did, I hope someone can help me.

1. I unlocked the bootloader using the official ASUS .apk

2. I installed ADB on my PC using the 15 seconds ADB Installer

3. I flashed the latest version of TWRP available for my device

4. I formatted the whole thing, System included

5. I try to flash the latest version of LineageOS, but the process keeps ending with ERROR:7

6. I "fix" the error using this guide

7. I flash LineageOS, but now the phone is stuck on the ASUS loading screen

8. It turns out I needed to upgrade to MM first...

9. I use this tool to upgrade my bootloader. I'm a dumbass and I install the ZE551ML version instead of the right one

10. I'm trying to fix the whole mess using this guide ever since

Even using the settings you described, the Zenfone disconnects from my PC right after the "firmware phase".

If I try to flash just the OS, like someone suggested, the process encounters an error and fails over and over.

I tried hundreds of times, with two different PCs and USB cables.

Right now the screen is always black, and the phone randomly vibrates unless I shutdown it pressing the power button for 15 seconds or so.
[ZenFone 2 General] Reinalisa:
ah sorry i forget to hide it

right now i can enter the os but the display on bootloader is messed up , i can't even see anything except broken tv display

any solution for that ?

thanks in advance
[ZenFone 2 General] sukhwant717:
try the following..

very first of all the same version you are currently on. from that version extract ifwi.zip and get bom token, dnx and ifwi bin files for the same version. also extract boot, recovery,splashscreen and droidboot img files for the same version. put these files in adb fastboot tool folder put your device in fastboot mode. and open command windows in adb fastboot tool folder. now run following commands

( note: as you stated you can't see anything of fastboot screen. but even though it will be recognized by pc so reboot in fastboot mode run command fastboot devices if it is recognized go ahead and run following commands)

fastboot oem erase_osip_header

fastboot oem start_partitioning

fastboot oem wipe splashscreen

fastboot oem stop_partitioning

fastboot flash splashscreen splashscreen.img ( the last is file name change it accordingly)

fastboot flash token bomtokenfilename

fastboot flash dnx dnxfilename

fastboot flash ifwi ifwifilename

fastboot flash boot bootfilename

fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename

fastboot flash fastboot fastbootfilename

fastboot reboot

BTW which firmware version your are currently on?

if after above procedure still same you have to flash ifwi and dnx with xFSTK
[ZenFone 2 General] sukhwant717:
very first of all extract dnx and ifwi from latest marshmallow and try that to flash. if still fail no need to try over and over. put device on charge for few hours. the open back panel. disconnect the battery connector and place small piece of paper under the connector so it don't make connection. now let it disconnected for a week. after that connect you device to pc load files in xFSTK originally provided in thread. click begin download. when it start waiting for device. connect the battery connector of phone download will start immediately
[ZenFone 2 General] Reinalisa:
I am using firmware that provided by you at the post via link

Android5.0
[ZenFone 2 General] sukhwant717:
skip the dnx and flash other commands i said above. extract the firmware with winrar

buddy it's ifwi-prod.bin not ifwi-prob you are using wrong file name

and also make sure you have opened cmd in same window where extracted raw firmware

seems like you are using 64 bit windows that's why you are unable to load system.img. download the following adb fastboot tool and extract in in extracted raw firmware directory open cmd there and try again. following is the link for 64 bit adb fastboot

Bro, i just wanted to say that unscrew and disconnect the battery charged when leaving the phone emmc to discharge. It seems when leaving the phone to discharge when battery is empty for few days will break the battery bits by bits and make the volts unstable. I notice this after a few weeks. Not significant, but noticeable.

pass

I get the device as unworking, but I don't know what the previous owner did, couldn't tell me anything usefull. Somehow I managed the device to work without any significant thing, but I've already downloaded the stuff from post no.1, I'd just like to know the passwords for the archives?

Thank you
[ZenFone 2 General] sukhwant717:
password for?? which archive?
[ZenFone 2 General] bblokar:
ASUS flash tool installer archive.

But I already did find an exe file from another source and managed to install it, so it's no problem...

But anyway, would be fine if I'd get a pass. I tried usual passwords for archves from xda, which are somehow connected to XDA ("manual bruteforce xda-like passwords") like xda, xdadevelopers, xda-developers, xda-dev, etx...

it's for that file archive https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B72QQTXqZSRweU1ycE5vbTZjTW8...

thank you very much o wasn't aware of password protection. i will remove it.. btw is your device alive now?
[ZenFone 2 General] daft_inquisitor:
Sir, may the rest of your days be blessed. After nearly 24 hours of trying (and failing) to get my phone working again, after I had finally given up on hope, your guide is the one that finally did it for me. Literally I was planning to just take it to an AT&T store tomorrow and say, "I broke it, what can we do?" But, for whatever reason I wanted to give it one more shot myself, found your guide, and that fixed it up.

You have no idea how happy I am that you made a guide that actually has ALL the steps, in clear English, without making assumptions about where to get files. (Not a single other freaking guide so far has told me you can rename the .raw to a .zip and extract the bin files you need.)

For your help today, you have my eternal thanks.

Tell me wat to do
[ZenFone 2 General] mobil_z:
Take care to set the right address in xfstk: 0x80000807. (Check it! Only four zero after first 8!)

After this xfstk completed here. If not, start download again in xfstk without disconnecting the phone. Maybe you have to run it several times. If it doesn't, go to xfstk settings and double timeout to 120.
