[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GolferDude:
Hi there,

To those reading this, many thanks. I've used this site for tons of advice on modding my phone but I'm still a relative noob to it all. I recently tried to flash a custom rom (CM13) to my Nexus 5X bullhead but upon installation, it get's stuck on the Google Logo. Now, I've tried my best to research this issue online but I just can't seem to find a solution.

Initially, I flashed TWRP Recovery and then installed CM13. No dice. It got stuck at the Google logo. I've since tried several releases of CM including a few nightly. I tried to change the Recovery image to CM Recovery but it didn't help. Other things I've tried:

Revert my phone back to Stock using the stock ROMs provided by Google for 'bullhead'. I get the error "Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary'".

Flash a stock Nexus 5X ROM I found here on xda but it still froze at the Google logo.

I tried to diagnose it as a persistent partition via this guide. Still no luck. The guide prompted my phone would acknowledge my commands from adb shell but shell doesn't seem to recognize the commands I give here.

Currently, my phone is just cycling through boots and stopping at the Google logo. I want to be clear that this not the animated 4 circles you see when starting up the stock nexus ROM. My phone was doing that as well at some point.

I'd appreciate any assistance. I'll try my best to respond promptly.

Many thanks.

The application "Shooting Range"(for air weapon) is designed to provide ease of operation of ballistic shoot calculator, fast data entry and screen output of necessary and important data suitable for its quick changes and achievement of the result.

The ballistic shoot calculator in itself has much in common with the same applications. It is available to make basic calculations, such as track of a bullet in vertical direction, wind reflection, time and velocity of the bullet at a given distance and most importantly ballistic corrections which can be transferred into tangent scale division. A user-friendly table lists all data noted above.

It is available to change all units at the same place. There is no need to waste time in search of the way to convert centimeters into inches, meters into pounds or yards, kilometers into miles and so on. "Shooting range" is also available for converting these units.

Good luck using the application. I am waiting for your feedback. Thank you!

Hi, I'm trying to repair one Z3C phone, one component is missing (rip-off, chipsize 0201, probably resistor) and probably reason why TS is not working.

Is there anybody that maybe have some damaged non working motherboard for selling, it would help a lot.

Or if anybody have open device, if there is a possibility to measure this component on board (it is probably resistor)?

HARD BRICK NO MORE!!! Asus ZenPad S8.0 Fix

I made the sad retarded mistake in updating a manual zip file thru CMW... I know retarded... anyways this caused the tablet to Hard Brick bootloader only with very little options, you might even have your serial number showing up as all 1's.

Usually this isn't a big deal sadly this tablet gets little to no love on the internet it seems... This is a guide to help anyone un-brick their tablet

Step 1. First this is more of a windows 10 issue than anything but some driver installs thru the Asus Flash Tool might fail.. something to do about Driver Certificates, so you'll want to disable that on your Win 10.. here a tutorial link for more youtube link HERE

Step 2. Installing the proper Drivers if you haven't already, which will all be in this zip folder HERE

Make sure you installed the ADB-Setup | Intel Android Drv Setup | Asus Android USB Drivers | Asus Flash Tool Installer 1.14

Step 3. Next you'll want to download the .raw file for the ZenPad can be found HERE

Step 4. Open your Asus Flash Tool Installer, boot up your device in the boot mode. (Hold Down the Volume Up + Power ) till you see a little android man with a hardhat.

Step 5. Plug in your device and you should see your device show up as shown HERE, next you'll want to select the model in the model drop down.... Z580C or Z580CA.. then select file. Now if it only lets you select zip thats okay. On the open file dialog box you'll see you can type in the file, simply type in the file path of the .raw file. Once you have that check on Erase Content which will erase all your internal content, and hit flash... let it run until the blue light on the program is green and has flashed succefully.

[IMG="Step 01"]http://i.imgur.com/JCIWuDu.png[/IMG]

[IMG="Step 02"]http://i.imgur.com/JldLaZP.png[/IMG]

[IMG="Step 03"]http://i.imgur.com/LhKrIAY.png[/IMG]

Now you may still get on a bootloop when it restarts, if that happens simply again restart in boot loader screen and do a hard reset and you'll be good to go! Afterwards just throw that new Marshmallow update in the internal and restart .. and you'll device will ask if you want to update now u got your tablet back and Marshmallow!!! I hope this helps if you have any troubles with the links, images please feel free to let me know pm or reply to this post!!! Best of Luck!

.RAW File was provided by Portzebie! Thanks again bud!!
[Device Repair] tfq535:
Thanks for this guide. You mentioned .img file, but the file has a .raw extension. Do I need to change the extension from .raw to .img ? Yor response will be highly appreciated. my device is Z580CA.

Thanks again.
[Device Repair] portezbie:
Just followed the guide and after a little tinkering was able to get it to work. You don't need to change the file extension.

A few additional notes:

-to install the asus android drivers (not sure if it's even necessary but), open the ASUS_Android_USB_Drivers folder, then the android folder, then right click android_winusb.inf and select install.

-in the asus flash tool, after you select model, the location of the raw file and wipe, make sure you click on the SN to select the device. I didn't do this the first few times and it didn't do anything.

ASUS Flashtool doesn't start flashing

Hi all, apprechiated all the posts above however, came across another issue when trying to downgrade from MM 6.0.1 to Lollipop

1. Hooked up my Z580CA tablet as described above.

2. ASUS flashtool recognized my device (right serial number and blue light on)

3. I was

not

able to put in the raw-file location, only (neither with backslash or without)

4. When pasting path and including backslash I was able to select the raw file (H:\EDV\Tablet\Android 5 LP\RAW\Z580C_all_WW_user_V4.6.1.raw was quoted in the file name window)

5. When I hit start, the flashtool ask for confirmation upon wiping data.

6. Nothing happens :(

Does anybody have a clue what went wrong
[Device Repair] RufusThorne:
These instructions do not work for Ubuntu. I find it very hard to believe that there is only a Windows version of the flash tool available.
[Device Repair] Servaas:
Does anyone know how to upgrade again to MM after flashing this rom?

EDIT: CAUTION People, there seems to be no way to upgrade back to MM after flashing this ROM.
[Device Repair] edu47:
Yes you can upgrade

I downgraded from marshmallow to lollipop with this instrucción and then upgraded again todo mm. It worked without any troubles
[Device Repair] Servaas:
And you did this by downloading the .zip file from Asus Support? Then you placed it on the internal memory of the Zenpad? Unzipped or zipped?

EDIT: Until someone more senior comes to this thread and confirms that they have a. Used the provided .raw file, and b. updated afterwards with the precise steps i'm very much questioning this .raw file legitimately.
[Device Repair] edu47:
download on asus homepage the file "UL-P01M-WW-5.4.3.0-user.zip", just copy it like it is on the root of your internal sdcard.

restart your zenpad and it will show you the message, upgrade available.

Edit:are you sure you on lollipop? If you are on Marshmallow ,the device wont recognize the systemupgrade.

if you re rooted it may also wont work
[Device Repair] Servaas:
All of it does nothing for me. I'm stuck on 5.0. To people reading this use this .raw file at your own risk.
[Device Repair] edu47:
Did you made an factory reset after installing lollipop on fastboot mode?

Switch your device off. Turn it on by pressing volume up and powerbottom at the same time.

When the little androidman appears you can stop pressing both bottoms.

Choose factory reset with volume bottom and confirm with power bottom.
[Device Repair] Servaas:
I just did this, this is my second tablet by the way, I returned the other one and this second one also does NOTHING when trying to update.

Its a shame really, its a great product but the lousy support on Asus side does little to inspire to again purchase from them. Honestly who rips out multiple user support on a tablet?

I'm all out of options to be honest, I have tried everything even variations on suggested sulotions but nothing works to make the update pop up.

This .raw file to me is broken when there is no way to update beyond that. But I need multi user support so I guess ill just stay on 5.0.
[Device Repair] edu47:
Probably you still on lollipop by this version "Z580C_all_WW_user_V4.6.1.raw" from the tutorial . Get from asus usa website the "UL-P01M-WW-4.7.1.0-user.zip" and update to latest lollipop version . Then it might update again to mm.

Here the link

[Device Repair] Servaas:
This zip file also doesnt register, nothing pops up and no, when pushing the update button it also does nothing.

It would seem that the OP provided a nice 5.0 raw file that renders your tablet un updateble.

I'll be returning this tablet and going for the only available option in the netherlands the samsung 8 incher.

All post #1 drivers are installed.

Please help.

Thank you
[Device Repair] mesjanloar:
Had the same problem and what I did to make it work was.

1. Lunch Asus Flash Tool

2. Connect device in download mode (volume up + power)

3. Wait for device to be visible in Asus Flash Tool ( Serial number + blue dot) - you may need to restart tablet using reboot droidboot

4. Select model number

5. Point to raw file and choose to erase data (accept the prompt )

6 Hit Start

What I also did prior to that was factory reset of tablet

hope that helps you

I tried to use this method but when I try to flash it, I get the following message:

Flash image failure(FAILED(remote: ERROR: Image-SKU: 'WW_P01M' Device-SKU: 'PGDO_P01M'))

I'm guessing my country code is wrong -- I mean, PGDO is not something I can find any infor about, but there is clearly a difference between the WW SKU.

Anyone have any idea what PGDO refers to, or where I can find updates for it?

It says I have firmware 5.4.15, which isn't listed on any site.

marshmallow root

Has anyone successfully rooted the pad after upgrading to marshmallow?? Thanks in advance.
[Device Repair] jlcoatney:
Thanks to all of you on this forum for your help. I have a persistent issue with a Z580C that I cannot resolve yet. I have 3 of these devices for my kids and one of them had a spontaneous corruption of the bootloader (I never made any attempt to root, install alternative ROMs, or update outside those pushed OTA to the device) and was sent back to ASUS under warranty for a repair. Now I am just outside the warranty window and this has happened to another of them. Not sure if it is an app I have installed on them or what is the issue. They tell me it will cost $165 to send in for service now, which is about what I paid for the tablet new.

I cannot get past the "hanging cables" screen with the white usb symbol and when this comes on it only stays powered on for a few moments. I cannot get to recovery mode and the tablet is not recognized by the ASUS flashtool. I have tried using the xfstk downloader tool to reflash the bootloader but I can find tons of information about this regarding the zenfone line and none for the zenpad s8. Like Groger, I have been unable to find the xfstk files and have tried flashing with the zenfone 2 files given the similarity of hardware between the two devices but this does not seem to work. Has anyone had any success restoring the bootloader on this device?

Thanks in advance for any help with this.
[Device Repair] ivansword:
I two have had this issue on both of my childrens z580C tablets, about 3 weeks apart and both are about 3 months outside of the warranty. As such, I too need the xfstk file in hopes that it fixes them. Thanks~

Japanese SKU RAW image?

I am looking for the JP SKU 'raw' image file, for a complete restore after failed upgrade from Lollipop. Any Android version would be fine, I just would like to de-brick for now.

The WW (world-wide) 4.6.1 raw image at the beginning of the thread doesn't get accepted on my unit, due to different country code: I can place it on the SD card and start reading it in recovery mode, but it is then rejected because of the mismatch.

Has anyone a JP 'raw' image for sharing please? Thanks a lot!
[Device Repair] amrmo:
Cecksum BYPASSED on RAW image: change SKU / restore from bricked / move on with root?

As per subject, I've managed to de-brick a failed update from Lollipop. Perhaps the method I used can help also in other ways; perhaps even unlock the bootloader.

For me the problem was, that I had a Japanese SKU and no 'raw' image to restore for that localization, from either recovery mode or a PC -based firmware upload.

However, I've seen that one can use a HEX editor to simply modify the two letters identifying the SKU within the header of the *.raw file from another unit - in my case, I went from Japan (JP) to world-wide (WW).

Such editing of course alters the checksum, and the upgrade/debricking would normally be halted. However, one can disable that check, again editing a rather self-explanatory field in the header for the *.raw file of interest.

In my case, the original file Z580C_all_WW_user_V4.7.1.raw came from:

https://firmware27.blogspot.de/p/update-raw-firmware-asus.html

(by the way, how did people get these? I suppose one could find out the location on http://fota.asus.com ....)

It was modified so that the end result contains:

1$pkg_name#Z580C$version#V4.7.1$sku#JP_P01M$oem#ASUS$skip_check#1$DROIDBOOT_VERSION005ENDDVER#$EndOfInfo#EndOfInfo

Notice: although the file will make the unit a WW SKU, it has been indicated in the header that it would be for a JP one, so as to make the upgrade succeed.

Furthermore, the original '$skip_check#0' has been turned into '$skip_check#1' so as to avoid halting because of the now altered checksum.

Everything seems to work after this, including regular upgrades with stock firmwares, now for a WW unit ;)

If I understand correctly, this opens doors to bigger firmware modifications. Perhaps we can restore root in Marshmallow. One could also dream of removing this way the bootloader lock too... More next weeks, if time allows!

Have fun,

I recently used this method to downgrade my ZenPad Z580C from 6.0 to 5.0. Instructions were simple enough, now I've just noticed the .raw file uploaded here is for the Z580CA model. Is it possible to flash my tablet with firmware for my model Z580C? Almost forgot to mention it's also currently rooted. This is when I noticed the change.

Attempt to change SKU from PGDO to WW

Tried the above method to change the SKU from PGDO (4 Characters) to WW by editing the firmware file.

Unfortunately it fails to flash on my tablet, SKU PGDO.

This clearly works for the 2 character SKU.

Anyone have other ideas of what I might try?
[Device Repair] GernBranston:
I made this it's own post, but might be a better fit here:

Hi all.

I bought my Zenpad 8 about 2 years ago. It came with Lollipop and when Asus finally released the Marshmallow update, it bogged down the tablet, so I found this thread and used the instructions to downgrade back to Android 5.0. The tablet ran much better, and I loved it.

Last month, I dropped it and broke the screen, so I ordered a new (seemingly identical) one from Amazon. When I got it, I saw that it shipped with the Marshmallow update already installed. I immediately went through the steps again to downgrade it, but when I went to reinstall all my apps afterwards, many of them were not available to me in the Play Store. They were listed, but said they were not compatible with my device. So, I did some digging.

Turns out that the model of the new tablet they sent (found in the SETTINGS/ABOUT menu) me is a P01MA, whereas the old one is a P01M. The product listing and the box & sticker for both tablets all say Z580C, but when I Google the P01MA number, it looks like that number is for the Z580CA version (with 4GB of RAM & 64BG HDD...which this device does not have). It's very confusing.

Anyway, the upshot is that I cannot get the new tablet to revert back to the stock firmware, both the manual and OTA updates from ASUS don't work (I've tried every file for both listed for both tablets - the Z580C & CA, the original 4.6.1 RAW file from this thread, AND tried another 4.7.1 RAW I found. The 4.7.1 actually works with a few more of the affected apps, but not all), factory reset goes right back to the 5.0, and many of my apps are still listed as incompatible. I'm guessing that the P01M and P01MA are slightly different hardware versions of the same tablet and I screwed up by assuming they were the same devices. I have looked, but I cannot find a RAW firmware specifically for the P01MA Z580C model. Any ideas on what I can do? I'm fine with either MM or Lollipop as long as all my apps work properly. Thanks!
[Device Repair] GernBranston:
SOLVED!

To any who are interested, or any future travelers. I finally managed to return my Z580C to completely functional stock condition after doing this downgrade while still being able to install ASUS updates OTA or manually. Basically, you have to use the method stated in the original post in this thread, THEN reboot the tablet and use CWM to flash the oldest firmware possible (UL-P01M-WW-3.3.8.0-user.zip - search the forum, can't remember where I found it), then after rebooting the tablet, put whichever update you want onto the SD card (any update seems to work fine from this original firmware, so go to Lollipop or MM or whichever you prefer). The tablet will recognize it and it will work just like a normal OTA update.

My Zenpad is now running MM 6.01 again with zero problems. Good luck!
[Device Repair] modryke:
All is ok, but on my Z580c the camera app doesn't work. No big deal since the asus camera sucks anyway.

For those who might be interested:

Z580C_all_WW_user_V4.7.1.raw -> https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0Bw0MLebdBUaGQS1BOUNCYWZvcGM&export=download sometimes the download fails, just wait for a while and try again.

For those who used this method to go back to lollipop and root, and then decide to upgrade again to MM, for some reason, these 4.6.1 and 4.7.1 roms didn't allow me to simply upgrade by putting the asus update zip file at the root of sdcard. The file never was automatically recognized. GernBranston method is ok, but you might need more details and the file.

1) The intel android drivers are are: https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-usb-driver-for-android-devices

2) the latest version tethered recovery tool needed is here: https://xdaforums.com/android/development/intel-android-devices-root-temp-cwm-t2975096

3) you will need an usb mouse and OTG adapter since twrp in the tethered recovery doesn't work with -touch. And you need twrp to easily while dalvik, cache, user, data and system partitions.

4) the official asus UL-P01M-WW-3.3.8.0-user.zip is here: https://mega.nz/#!8GpRjJ7J!wRGwf-pXR-pgYeKee9SrTRjVtiIxlY-YokhzhaujoMY

5) the latest official asus UL-P01M-WW-5.6.0.0-user.zip is here: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Ee...288.89824732.1514382320-1636634138.1514067608 (it is the Z580CA rom, works perfectly with Z580C)

The process is straightforward:

- use TWRP tethered recovery to totaly wipe your tablet, then install UL-P01M-WW-3.3.8.0-user.zip. It won't go well and the flash will not make a clean system, but that doesn't matter because all you want is beaing able to reinstall a clean MM.

- Reboot, copy the UL-P01M-WW-5.6.0.0-user.zip file at the root of the sdcard, it will be automatically recognized, and you can update to MM.

- Note the MM update can take time and the tablet may look like in a bootloop: just wait.

- After the first boot to MM, my tablet was horribly laggy and quite slow. From MM: reset to factory.

- That will also take some time.

- when it reboots, my tablet was still laggy and slow, just follow the setup wizard, don't mind the screen going weird, let the tablet install its crap. Reboot again, uninstall / disable what you don't like, reboot again, and the lag is gone. You can now install your stuff.

After a couple weeks under MM, then a couple weeks under rooted android 5, I'm definitely back to MM. Better battery life, the tablet is more responsive, and I can use the last versions of netflix and a few other apps that stopped supporting lollipop.

did you try to flash android 6 with tethered recovery? if yes, the only thing to do is send the tablet to asus. Attempting to flash android 6 with tethered recovery kills the tablet.

Btw, there is no recovery you can access directly on the tablet. If holding power + volume down when starting the tablet doesn't put the tablet in dopwnload mode, there is nothing you can do.
