Just went thru this process for a blank screen brick (no usb hanging cables screen, nothing on screen basically) and it worked very well.

So to help others, the Moorefield detection can be tricky in that scenario:

1. Plug phone in USB.

2. Hold power for a good 20 sec to be sure phone is powered off

3. Open your device manager and expand Intel Soc (you should only see the one device)

4. Open xFSTK and prep everything so that you only have to press 'Download'

5. Press and hold the 'power' + volume down' as instructed.

6. Keep an eye on your device manager and as soon as you see the Moorfield device appear under Soc, hit 'Download' in xFSTK

7. Wait for the magic to happen and don't worry if you see it get disconnected in device manager while it's downloading.

If you're not fast enough between steps 5 and 6, you'll miss the short window for which xFSTK will detect the device and you'll have to repeat those steps until you get it right.

I hope this will help someone :)

Oh and no need to 'fastboot erase data' for it to work :)
[ZenFone 2 General] DaveOF:
I can't remember what firmware version I was running before this issues happened. Will this be an issue?
[ZenFone 2 General] sukhwant717:
no matter. but it will be good if you download downgrade firmware from asus and extract desired files. why downgrade. because it works for both MM and LP without any iissue
[ZenFone 2 General] DaveOF:
It appears that I can't get passed the "Continuing to OS" issue. After the Moorefield device disappears and it attempts to reconnect to device 20 time I'm left with the final message:

"Timeout to detect the device, make sure to charge up your phone before flashing".

Was anyone else experiencing the "Continuing to OS" issue seeing that last error?
[ZenFone 2 General] ThE J0K3r:
I don't know what happened because I know that after the usb logo it needs to appear 4 coloured bars but mine just restarts.I think it is because an error occurred in xtfs when it said continuing to os.Pls someone help me at least to get him in his original brick state without the usb logo on it.
[ZenFone 2 General] shayan4shayan:
thanks to your very very good post

i've changed the ifwi file to android 6.0 (my last os version installed) then this fixed and screen turns on

and very very thanks to [MENTION=6511954]sukhwant717[/MENTION] for his very good post
[ZenFone 2 General] DaveOF:
Shayan4shayan,

Can you please link the exact 3 ifwi files you used to fix your issue. I believe the last version I was running before my phone died was CM13 MM 6.1 or similar.
[ZenFone 2 General] Victor Andrade:
xFSTK

So folks, I to the problem with xFSTK.

It passes the firmware, the phone restarts, it vibrates but does not appear the USB cable on the screen, it is all black, nothing appears, the xFSTK does not identify more and can not complete the installation of the OS.

Already I changed my pc, I changed cable, already changed the GP "4x0", "5x0" and nothing.

I even created a topic here explaining my problem, but got no answer. If anyone has any light.

Thank You
[ZenFone 2 General] shayan4shayan:
i've used files from this link https://mega.nz/#F!k4MHiAgL!dVuOKeH3eokcwPSNI79ffw

and only used the ifwi file from android 6 for my phone and it worked

if you tell me your model number i will send you exact file(you can try different files)

Thanks Shayan4shayan,

Can someone kindly give me an helpin hand ?

I ve been trying to unbrick my asus zf2, i used xfstk and everything seem to work well untill the download os and everything was completed ( in xfstk ), the problem is that after the xfstk process is done the zenfone always shows the 4 colored screen for some seconds , but it doenst fastboot it just then shows that irritating battery logo with question mark in it. Tried charging phones for hours, even a full night but nothing , even tried doing everything over and over again.. ALL DRIVERS ARE WELL INSTALLED THO and FORGIVE MY BAD ENGLISH.

Using win 10, driver sign disabled and everything, so drivers are well installed.

Zenfone 2 ( Ze55 )
[ZenFone 2 General] sukhwant717:

Still Continuing to OS

Gentlemen,

I have tried every trick in the book yet my ZenFone continues to vibrate with a black screen.

From xFSTK-Downloader 1.7, when attempting to download OS Image, droidboot_dnx.img.POS_sign.bin, from the xFSTK_ZE551ML-sal358-amtech.vn.zip:

The "Firmware download completed. Continuing to OS…" message appears.

The "Moorefield Device" disappears from the Device Manager.

The messages "Reconnecting to device - Attempts 1- 20" then "Timeout to detect the device, make sure to charge up your phone before flashing" appear.

In the "Download Status" section of the xFSTK Downloader, the message "Failure: FW+OS download did not complete." appeares.

My ZenFone returns to back to its black screen vibrating every few minutes.

My ZenFone Info:

Asus ZenFone - Z00AD_ZE551ML 4GB/64GB

Last ROM - CyanogenMod 13.0 Nighty

My xFSTK-Downloader 1.7 settings are as follows:

MRD A0 / B0 + MOOR A0 + CRC > Options > Modify Settings:

Enable GP Flag Override = Ticked

GP Override Value = 0x80000807 (also tried 0x800000807)

Device Detection Timeout = 120

In Firmware section, selected the following files from original pst:

FW DnX = dnx_fwr.bin

IFWI = ifwi.bin

OS Image = droidboot_dnx.img.POS_sign.bin

IFWI files used:

ZE551ML:*http://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2oM... = sharing*

Drivers used:

iSocUSB-Driver_v1.2.0.exe

IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.10.0.exe

My troubleshooting steps:

Verified the "Enable GP Flag Override" was ticked.

Tried "GP Override Values": 0x80000807, 0x800000807

Pressed the "Power Button + Volume Down" holding the "Volume Down" button a few more seconds.

Tried the 6.0 IFWI file extracted from the "WW_ZE551ML_2.20.40.194_20160713.raw"

FW DnX: dnx_fwr.bin (from original ZE551ML-sal358-amtech.vn.zip)

Reinstalled iSocUSB-Driver_v1.2.0.exe and IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.10.0.exe

Purchased a new USB data/charge cable.

Tried using my other USB ports on my laptop.

Installed Windows 10 from scratch on a different computer, performing all the steps mentioned above.

Disconnected/reconnected the battery.

Timed the pressing of the "Begin Download" button for when the "Moorerfield Device" appears in the Device manager. After holding the "Power button" for 20 seconds to make sure it powered down completely, then pressing the" Volume down + Power button to power it back on.

As I mentioned in my first post, I was texting when the phone's screen just went black and started vibrating.

I refuse to pay Asus to fix a phone which conveniently died just over one year after the warranty expired. In addition, the nearest Asus Service Center is two states away. At this point I just want to know if replacing the battery will resolve the issue.
[ZenFone 2 General] bodieph:
HI, need some help

I was able to get past the FW download complete continuing to OS

but then the phone keeps on connecting and then disconnecting until attempt 20 is done and error says connection state error (of course it will have connection state error because the USB device keeps on getting connected and then disconnected again). any help how to resolve it? i tried it three times and every time it gets past FW download and then on to OS, same error (on phone USB logo is present)

-----------------------------

ok managed to be able to flash the bootloader from xfstk (read from another thread about other users having same issue and tried what they did and it worked) but for some reason fastboot (step 1.4) cannot detect the phone (I have connected and disconnected several times)

===========================

update

fastboot was able to detect it once but in the middle of doing the fastboot commands, connection was lost again and no luck getting it back on again. got tired so decided to take a break, will try again later
[ZenFone 2 General] bodieph:
ok tried again, this time fastboot was ok and I am now able to go into system (android 5.0). now, tried to go to recovery to flash the more recent lollipop rom before flashing marshmallow, but another problem came up. recovery returned an error.

well system is working so its better than nothing but with no recovery, stuck until its fixed.

-------------------------------

finally fixed it. had to unlock the bootloader first using the apk from samsung. after that, flashed twrp successfully. next step, flashing latest LL rom then MM
[ZenFone 2 General] Veza:
It works

Thanks for such an elaborate and detailed procedure. It worked for my bricked Zenfone 2. ;)
[ZenFone 2 General] Xen59000:
Hello, I have exactly the same problem as you and like you, after 1 year and 2 weeks, my zenfone => black screen => vib only just after I used the flashlight app during 10 sec.

Tell me if you found the solution, I think I'll tried to manually removed the battery and put it back but I don't think that'll work.
[ZenFone 2 General] DaveOF:
Xen,

Have you spoken with Asus support? If so, did they just ask you to drop by a service center?
[ZenFone 2 General] sukhwant717:
for those who are having issue continuing to os.. first of all put your device on charge for min 5 hours. after that remove the back plastic panel of device opening screws. then remover battery connector from motherboard. press power button for few seconds. now connect battery connector to motherboard again. and power on the device holding volume down button simultaneously. after few seconds release volume button and click begin download in xFSTK. after that phone will boot into four color screen and after waiting for some time phone will boot into fastboot. before trying all that. its better uninstall all driver and xFSTK from pc. delete temporary files and prefetch files. then restart computer and install Intelandroid USB driver, then Intel SOC driver, Then xFSTK. after that try...hit thanks if it helps. if issue persists please report back..

who is living in India. and facing the same issue. and Asus service center has asked to replace motherboard.. any one who is in India can offer me Device. so i can research on issue further. i can pay some price as well.
[ZenFone 2 General] sukhwant717:
Any one from India who is unable to unbrick after the above procedure. and want to sell the device. i will buy such device so i can research on the issue and provide further solution.
[ZenFone 2 General] vgrisi:
I'm in Brazil. I tried the above method. My z2 is the 1.8ghz and 4gb of ram. so is the ze551ml. The battery shows it. But when I opened the rear protections motherboard has recorded ze550ml. I believe asus took the ze550ml board with this processor and has only an upgrade of ram.

Ps .: not yet got hit with my device. if I flash with 550ml files is a crazy every screen.

I believe the problem is the droidboot.bin. I did a procedure to update each such bloobs of android 5.0 to 6.0, after that, I bricked the z2
[ZenFone 2 General] sukhwant717:
do not look at inner board. look at model written on body. and flash that files only
[ZenFone 2 General] Xen59000:
Yeah, but they told me to unplug the phone from the charge, then hold the power button down between 15 and 30 seconds, reconnect the charge for 30 minutes and test but that doesn't work. when i put in charge my phone vib 2 every 5 min so they told me i must send to support and that'll cost me 75€ because I am out of warranty.
[ZenFone 2 General] DaveOF:
I finally called Asus support. They said my motherboard was the issue and to ship my fone to the service center. They checked my warranty, said I had a couple says left, so I sent my fone to Asus.
[ZenFone 2 General] Xen59000:
You can keep me informed about your situation, if they repair your phone, if you paid etc.. ?
[ZenFone 2 General] vgrisi:
I'm at work, so not yet tested. I still have my ZF2 bricked. These files extract the new raw194 the ifwi and droidboot. The dnx took the official rom same number downloaded from the site asus. For those who are in the same situation I worth trying these files. I will test to get home.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B_dBCxywrtD9T1VESXFCRWVPUGM
[ZenFone 2 General] TYCV:
FW+OS download failed every time. Should I send my phone to Asus Support?
[ZenFone 2 General] Murgesh:
Download new images it will work.
[ZenFone 2 General] vgrisi:
The files that I posted did not work. I will send for asus. I gave up, I threw in the towel.
[ZenFone 2 General] piyush04:
i have unbricked my phone with the help of ur process but i am unable to run those commands in the command window. every time i try it says 'it is not recognized as an internal or external command' i even tried to unplug and plug my phone but i am still getting the same message.

plz help
[ZenFone 2 General] Murgesh:
Instead use AFT

[ZenFone 2 General] piyush04:
well my started working but now i am not able to get into fastboot mode, every time i try it gets stuck on asus logo.

any suggestions??
[ZenFone 2 General] shazish:
Thanks sukhwant717!

I bricked my phone by sideloading MM without pushing the stock bootloader/recovery first. The phone was only vibrating and I was about to give up... your instructions brought the phone back to life! You rock :)
[ZenFone 2 General] sukhwant717:
glad to know that it was helpful. please hit thanks.
[ZenFone 2 General] sukhwant717:
if you are able to go to recovery. then sideload latest firmware. you will overcome the issue. if not then use xFSTK to enter the fastboot and install, ifwi, dnx, droidboot, recovery and splash screen extracted from the firmware you have currently installed
[ZenFone 2 General] piyush04:
i am unable to enter into the recovery and i even tried xFSTK but the problem is whenever i try to download the OS the device gets turned on by itself and downloading fails.

any other suggestions!!
[ZenFone 2 General] J@CKSP@RRO@W:
