reflash xfstk. serial number not an issue.once you get fastboot mode and flash firmware it will be restored automatically
[ZenFone 2 General] BobbaCannoo:
After installing the driver, I don't see IntelSOC showing up in Device Manager.

I bricked my phone after following instructions from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/zenfone2/general/asus-zenfone-2-flashing-recovery-mode-t3096596 about rooting my phone using Method 1 (Pre-Rooted system img.). I think I made a mistake when I flashed a file called system.zip instead of system.img (because there was no system.img in the firmware I downloaded, even though it matched the build version of my phone (Z00A_WW_4.21.40.134)). Now it's just stuck at the Asus logo screen (not even the loading screen, the very first screen you see). I don't care about the data on my phone, I just need it working again asap because I'm leaving to study abroad this Sunday and I'm pretty screwed without my phone. Can you help me?

Update: sometimes it shows up as Moorefield under 'Other Devices'

Hello guys.

My problem started when I install the ROM AICP. For this I had to install some files there who asked for it was an Android 6.0. Anyway, I bricked my zenfone 2 551ml. Since yesterday I try the above methods and others. I installed the iSocdrivers correctly. i flashed the phone by xFSTK sometimes even without errors. What happens is that it only goes to the 4 color bars, there is nothing, not aprece no logo asus, it does not appear the robot. The mobile is recognized only Moorefield. When the 4 colored bars none of the three PCs I tried recognizes the device and can not access it by ADB as it was not with USB debugging enabled. also I installed the ADB and BOOTLOADER drivers asus pc by the device manager, but still the pc does not recognize the zenfone 2. I do not know what to do.

Sorry for my bad English. This text was made by Google translator.

[ZenFone 2 General] timbernot:
You solve this yet ?

For reference.

.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 whilst on 4 colour screen_holding power button plus vol+ too until two buzzes and release sufficed each time to bring back bootloader

Thanks for your help I have managed to get Lollipop working again on my device. I tried to sideload the Marshmallow rom which would not work as it detected the zip file (which I had renamed user.zip) and tried to install it which came back with a error. I have managed to get it working by following the method suggested by ASUS and it is installing now. Thanks for the information on the first page it helped a lot. :D

[ZenFone 2 General] vgrisi:
I already formatted my pc windows 7 32 bits. I tried everything. The last was this. It gave the same mistake the guy upstairs. But then he went to the damn screen 4 colors and no bootloader again. Is it the droidboot file? I'm with the asus drivers installed here, but never recognize anything, are not recognizing the device. Would that something be? The strange thing is that this never step 4 color screen. Only with this screen is to do something more? Because the ADB also does not work.

[ZenFone 2 General] vgrisi:
Yesterday I wrote in Portuguese here. I'm sick and tired of doing the procedure on the phone. Sorry. But back to the subject. I tried these files and others out there. The xFSTK process always ends with "success", only that does not boot into bootloader or gives black screen with the lights on. It is only on the screen of the 4 colors and restarting the device. It restarts a 3 or 4 times returning to the 4 colors. Then erases everything and sometimes back to connect the PC to Moorefield. XFSTK tried so many times that I'm thinking of quitting. I do not know what else to do. I tried the files here in the post, tried ifwi files and extracted dnx official roms 6.0 and 5.0. If sold to a new motherboard I buy

My ZF got this same problem a week ago when I was playing with new ifwi versions.

But I managed to recover it by connecting the USB and then powering on holding volume key and then it detected the phone as MOOREFIELD and no fastboot but I waited and after like 5 to 10 minutes without doing anything, it enters on fastboot mode, then I manually flashed ifwi, dnx, token then restarted and all worked normally.

phone was detected as moorefield then disappears after 5 seconds

phone was detected as moorefield then disappears after 5 seconds whenever i try to connect it has anyone encountered this?

Update:

nvm i'm stupid got it working by connecting the phone then pressing power button for about 10 sec then pressing power button + volume down

to those having a loop in "continuing to os "

"-Then Go to Options to change the value in the Value Section Override Flag GP 0x80000807. Tick GP value over ride, change device detection time out value to 120 and Click OK is complete initial preparation. "

make sure you follow the instruction i was having the error cause i did not check GP value override in the options of xfstk-downloader
[ZenFone 2 General] shayan4shayan:
after setting flag GP to 0x80000807 and enabling that after 1 try device is disconnecting and not connecting again

there is no other way to unbrick phone??
[ZenFone 2 General] falazad:
follow the steps after installing it the phone will boot in recovery mode :D
[ZenFone 2 General] shayan4shayan:

i dont have recovery mode also

before phone dead i have deleted recovery mode
[ZenFone 2 General] falazad:
stock MM then installing custom recovery like twrp

is it safe to install custom recovery after i flash stock MM i just finished flashing stock mm and i'd like to make a backup of it using twrp. Is it recommended sorry if this is a noob question but just to safe i'd like to ask people who have tried it.
[ZenFone 2 General] topoldo:
Many, many, many thanks for saving my wife ML550 and... my money needed to buy another phone :)

In my experience I found some troubles with these steps of the procedure:

1. ML550 raw firmware link wasn't working at all.

I had to 'google' a little bit to get another site to download 550ML raw firmware from.

I found this one:

http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f977/asus-raw-firmware-collection-here-1919800/

It is quite old but it works (at least until today).

2. When I used the xfstk-downloader for the first time, after some troble sto launch the procedure exactly when the MOOREFIELD device is present, I arrived to the 4 colors screen and the phone stuck there.

So I decided to repeat the procedure and this second attempt was successfull: I could arrive to the fastboot screen.

3. I had to repeat 3 times the "twenty (and more) steps procedure" with adb in order to be successfull with the deletion of the original partitions. In fact after giving the first commands which were ok, I had errors when I tried to give the command: 'fastboot erase system'. I have a log similar to that reported here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=68673190&postcount=92

I restarted the adb procedure from scratch and at the 3rd attempt I was successfull.

So my suggestion to those who were unsuccessfull is: don't give up! Try, try and try again! ;)

Now I have a question (I'm quite ignorant on these things!).

The OP states that when the phone is successfully unbricked, if you want to update your OS with an newer official Asus release, than you must dowload it from Asus site as a .zip file, optionally renalme it with an "easier" name, like "user.zip" and then install it by using adb sideload procedure.

My question is: why we cannot use the Asus preinstalled (automatic) upgrade app which generally warns when a new release is ready to be downloaded? Does the unbrick procedure breaks this app?

Thanks,

Topoldo
[ZenFone 2 General] Murgesh:
Do u get this error saying "firmware download completed continuing to os" and then mobile disconnets because i also have ze550ml
[ZenFone 2 General] topoldo:
@ Murgesh

It the question was made to me, no this was not my case.

As I reported, flashing was ok but at the end of the procedure the 4 colors (like a television monoscope) appeared on the screen and they did not disappear.

Only by repeating the procedure the screen moved to correct the android fasboot screen.

Um. can this fix no asus logo or blank screen boot? Bcause my phone is worked, except when booting theres no splash or asus logo.. cant instal twrp too.

Can you give me some advice. Please i will bear using this half bricked for atleast for 3 weeks bcause im abroad now.. and is there any way to brick it again to usb logo?, maybe i wrong when using xsftk because theres no 4colour bar when i finished xfstk..

im using 4zero. Or can i forced use xsftk on this phone again? To make it go to 4colour bar?

Thanks...
[ZenFone 2 General] shayan4shayan:
congrate for your marriage

look !!

i tried to install white splash screen on my ze550ml from fastboot

but after flash splashscreen device turns off (by holding power buttom screen turns on)

i tried your method to fix phone but i forgot to enable GP flag orerride

first time that frimware install finished (os not installed) device turns on but there was no fastboot

i retried your method (again with no gp flag) and device turns off (screen is off all the time)

now is there a way for me to fix mt phone or i should put it away??
[ZenFone 2 General] falazad:
what do you mean no fastboot?

have you run it as the instruction says? or was the device not recognized by fastboot?
[ZenFone 2 General] shayan4shayan:
when i powre on device white splash screen is showing but after that there was nothing

when i connected deivce to pc there was no fastboot

i tried vol down + power button and result is same.

edit:

instalations was not complete and only firmware installed and os failed.
[ZenFone 2 General] sukhwant717:
you do not need to brick it again ti fix.. first of all identify the firmware you have installed.. then extract splashscreen from same firmware.. now place it it adbfastboot tool folder...

now enter phone in fastboot mode and connect to pc

run command fastvboot devices ( to see if it is recognized)

then run following commands

fastboot oem start_partitioning

fastboot oem wipe splashscreen

fastboot oem stop_ partitioning

fastboot flash splashsceen splashscreen.img ( bold character is the file name so you can change it accordingly as urs one it may be splash_sign.bin or else)

fastboot reboot
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marmistrz:
Hi,

I don't really like the way Android (in fact CM13.0) handles the mobile data in the status bar. If I have both WLAN and LTE enabled, I have absolutely no notification that the mobile data is enabled. Then, if I lose the WLAN connection, the mobile data will be automatically used. I have a small network plan so I'd like to avoid it.

The solution would be a status bar icon showing up whenever cellular data is on, whether or not the real connection is WLAN or cellular, on the right side of the status bar, just as all the system icons.

First of all: has anyone already written something like that?

If not: I'd like to create such an application. I know that the right side of the status bar is reserved for system apps. Does it mean that if I install the app, spawning the status bar icon, as a system app, it'll automatically be shown on the right side of the screen?

Besides, is it possible to create a status bar icon without a notification in the notification list? Maybe Xposed would help?

Thanks for answering newbie questions :)

[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] wschamps42:
Music audio quality via Aux and Bluetooth are key for me. I need to know if it's true that the new Note 7 with the 820 supports the same quality that is in the HTC 10. I was reading some posts elsewhere that the Note 7 has some new drivers that are different than the S7 and should be the same quality as the HTC 10. I currently own the 10 and love it, but mostly because of the Boomsound/Audio quality when listening to music. But I really love Sammy's OLED display and Camera.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] bishmaster5000:
I'm by no means an audiophile, and I've never owned an HTC. But I do have a decent set of medium-priced Shure in ear headphones that sounded great on my Note 4, GS5, and continue to sound great on my Note 7. If you're really picky about sound quality I highly recommend going to your nearest T-Mobile or Best Buy and try out a display model with your headphones of choice.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] chipworkz:
It is very close to the same sound quality as the Note5. Can't compare it to the HTC but from the articles I read, I am not sure if compares or not. It sounds good but it still could benefit a lot from Viper4Android.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] richiea19:
I have jump on demand and came from the HTC 10. The screen and s-pen are amazing. Blow the HTC away.

The audio is garbage on the note 7 compared to the 10. It is exactly the same hardware as the S7. Speaker gets decently loud but there is no crispness like on the 10. And the headphone jacks are no comparison.

In fact I ended up buying a Fiio Q1 dac/amp to make up for it.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] douger1957:
I'm no audiophile either but my Note 7 sounds pretty good with Beats Solo Wireless phones, particularly if I plug it in. The Samsung Level Pro U I have which is supposed to tap into the UHD feature could use some more bass but is otherwise okay.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] dartinbout:
Samsung has a protocol called UHQ. It only works with three audio devices from, of course, Samsung. The level On Pro, the Level on U Pro and a bluetooth speaker. Coupled with Poweramp beta, it will either up convert everything to 24\192, or most importantly,stream native 24\192 wired or .......WIRELESSLY (emphasis mine).

As the proud owner of countless bluetooth stereo devices, going back to 2005, this is the highest bar achieved, I've heard from a mobile device, without an external DAC. As with all unqualified statements of excellence, I am sure others will have opinions on this. I will be listening to Music.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] JaguarXT:
The sound quality I get from the Note 7 without modifying (all flat) it is fine. I like the "Tube Amp Pro" (simulates soft timbre of tube amplifier). Not perfect by any means. And not the same high quality of an high end audio system. But impressive.

You are never ever going to get the high end wired audio quality sound from Bluetooth. Bluetooth will be much better than any "smartphone" builtin speakers by a large margin. Only wired high end full range full sized headphones will you get true high end quality audio sound.

What surprises me is how many people don't care about sound quality. They rather have the convince of the builtin speakers or Bluetooth. It is the Thing now days to play all audio through your builtin speakers. No matter where you are and who is around you. Convince is over ruling quality.

So I am very surprised to see someone asking about audio quality.

It also surprises me to see how many people think "okay" quality sound is high quality.

-
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] dartinbout:
So,......................if you are as convinced as you are that no protocol will improve Bluetooth, who am I to change your mind as it already made up. With the advent of the loss of the jack on the Iphone, there will some increased urgency to make bigger strides to improve wireless audio devices.

Not to sound too much like a fanboy but this tech is different. I am pretty sure this isn't a case of cognitive dissonance but I hear a great deal of difference between using these below with and without UHQ turned on.

http://www.samsung.com/us/audio/hea...wireless-pro-headphones-black-eo-pn920cbegus/

I am currently using the above, the VModa wireless and the Dash with the Note 7. This is better and compares well to the KEF wired headphones.

If any of you own the recent samsung phones, get a set of these and if they don't change your mind about bluetooth, I'll pay your return shipping (limited to 5 of you)

Please be sure to use the UHQ app and Poweramp beta with the experimental 24\192 streaam.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] cbrinnny:
I used to have the Note 5 and definitely was louder. The thing is, the Note 7 has IP68 rating for water resistance, so the phone is pretty sealed up and the sound is weak because of it.
