[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crossmanx:
okay man, if you connect your phone without battery using usb cable to your pc? and device manager shows any newly detected device for a few seconds? try this and reply me...
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WormholeMatt:
I did plug in the device, while the battery was still in it, and it came up as an unrecognized device when the balloon popped up at the bottom right of the PC screen. I unplugged it, took out the battery, and plugged back in, but nothing showed up this time. Although I didn't look in device manager though. But I will try that next. What's your thoughts on helping me solve this issue? I'd really like to learn how the actual company first loads their firmware onto the devices. Like what kinds of software and equipment they use. I'm sure it's on a major scale though and probably have machines doing most of the work, just like an automobile assembly line. LOL. But I really want to get this ASUS Zenphone unbricked. So any help would be awesome. Thanks very much!
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crossmanx:
thanks man! I think you have to download QUALCOMM drivers! from internet. and install it into your pc. after installing drivers there will be a connection into your device manager when you connect your phone with pc. it maybe QUALCOMM 9006/9008, or QDLOADER or Qualcomm mmc storage. is this shows up into your pc, you are done,, you can push firmware parts into your device using qpst or qfil softwares. I will send you the link for guide.

if your phone is hard bricked then you might see broken partitions into LINUX! if you use any Linux distro then you will find many partitions when you connect your phone to your pc into Linux. we can adjust or backup or restore partitions using Linux simply, if we have image files of firmware.

---------- Post added at 10:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 AM ----------

try to search"unbrick all qualcomm snapdragon devices" into google and you will find out how to unbrick using qfil/qpst. you have to download stock firmware for your phone.

try to press volume down button + power button combo and see what happens? after that try to remove and reinsert battery. again try volume up + power button. in last volume up + volume down + power button after removing and reinserting battery.

give results.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WormholeMatt:
Thanks Man!!! I really appreciate the help. I'll try all this and report back. Thanks Again!
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WormholeMatt:
Well I realize it's been awhile, got pretty busy at work, I run a computer and smartphone repair shop.

But I've managed to get as far as getting the right drivers installed under COM PORTS, because it was showing up as RELINK HS-USB QDLoader 9008.

So after uninstalling those com ports drivers by uninstalling the device (you need to click the check box to uninstall drivers).

Then by holding down simultaneously the power + volume up + volume down buttons, while then connecting the usb cable back to the computer.

The device now showed up under other devices in device manager as QHSUSB_BULK. I searched and downloaded the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 drivers and installed them (The download was simply named Qualcomm_USB_Drivers.)

I installed the drivers to the QHSUSB_BULK device by clicking update driver software and then selecting them by browsing to where I saved them, in this case to my desktop. Note: I first had to download the .zip file, then extract that into my desktop folder I just called Firmware and Drivers. The name of the Driver pack I downloaded was called "Qualcomm_Drivers_QDLoader"

Now the device shows up as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM10). I reconnected the device using the same method of holding down the volume up+volume down+power all at the same time with one hand and the other to plug in the micro USB cable that was linked to the PC. But I did this after which I took out the battery for about 20 seconds and placed it back in. This way I could check to see if the device was truly connected at that com port.

I have a plethora of software installed already to include, android debugging tools aka ADB+Fastboot+Tools unzipped using WINRAR to the desktop folder "adb", I also for some reason have AndroidSDKSlim.zip extracted to the desktop which just has the adb and fastboot tools in them. I also have QPST which has QFIL and a lot of other developer tools, and eMMC_DL_Tool_for_customer_ENG_V5.2.0R. I'm thinking I'll be needing these soon, so that's why when searching I just downloaded and installed all of these programs.

I'm at the point now where the phone is plugged in and the COM PORT appears to be open as far as I can tell.

Now I just have to figure out how to get the partitions, stock firmware, and all that back onto the phone so that I can unlock it, root it, load TWRP recovery, and then get it all back to life.

Any suggestions? Anyone? [MENTION=4982207]crossmanx[/MENTION] thanks for helping to get me started. Do you know where to go from here? I'm not even sure I have the right ASUS drivers installed, but I think that I do. This should be all I need correct?

Thank you. I'll continue to be as detailed as possible in my steps to recover my *hard bricked "ZE551KL Z00TD". Oh but on another note, I have heard that the stock rom or image recovery for the Asus Zenphone Selfie Z00T may work as well, but I'm afraid to try that. I just want to get this device back up and running with either the stock rom or and update MM rom like CM.13. Cheers!
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crossmanx:
asus firmware for your device model is available on asus web site, download that and open that zip file, in that you will find boot.img, aboot or amass or droidboot.img, and also system.img files, and you have to push that into your device using qfil/qpst. i thibk you can do it also by emmc_dl is qualcomm drivers are installed properly and shows up as com_port, u just have to enter comport number and it wish push your files into device..

---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 PM ----------

if you only push droidboot img then you will be able to get into the volume+ + power combo mode, so you can get access to fastboot, and after that you know all the procedures....

---------- Post added at 06:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 PM ----------

well actually all the qualcomm based devices are unbrickable so sont worry your phone will be live again... you have to just experimenting it on...

well actually i dont have this phone...i am thinking about buying asus ze601kl? is this a good phone? how'z the performance and stability of cm13 snapshot version on your device? is dual sim and all the other things works without any bug? or it has any bug?

---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 PM ----------

asus has such funky things in stock boot image as it verifies everytime on boot for valid image, if you have unlocked its bootloader before and try to update its firmware or install stock rom it creates problem. so cm13 is better choice.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WormholeMatt:
Well, here I am ready to upload the ROM to the phone using QFIL. The phone is identified by the port. The only thing I'm having trouble with now is finding the "RAWPROGRAMMER" file to load from the firmware.

I'm not sure what else to do, I can't find the file anywhere.

Maybe this is when they say I need to get ahold of someone else exact same phone, root it, load twrp, and backup their original stock rom? I'm not sure. I just feel soo close to getting this done, but I keep missing files. I'm trying to load CM.13 but inside the folders for the firmware, there isn't any file in there. I've already found the patch file and the .mbn file that I need. Just missing the rawprogrammer file.

This is giving me a headache. LOL
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WormholeMatt:
Actually the only file I need is the .xml file that it asks for in QFIL. Which I guess is supposed to be in the stock rom somewhere. But in order to get that, I'm guessing I'll have to use my wifes phone (she has the exact same model as I do). I'll just have to make sure to not delete anything or mess up her phone. lol

And I'm also thinking that I will have to install stock ROM first before flashing the CM.13. So I'll have to get that stock ROM from her phone, since I deleted mine on accident.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crossmanx:
that xml file is basically a partition structure file for your phone emmc. i think it might be there in your firmware.zip

you just have to find rawprogrammer file, i think it is there where you find unbrick guide for all qualcomm devices.....you just try that file it might work for your phone too..and after adding rawprogrammer you can add firmware parts from firmware.zip file or you also can clone your wife's phone emmc, using emmc dump to raw extension.

---------- Post added at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------

you dont need to install stock rom first, only you need to send droidboot,recovery or maybe boot partitions, if you have deleted modem and other partitions, then those will also. if you get fastboot then you can flash twrp and can flash cm13.

---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 PM ----------

there will be different named xml file in firmware.zip for you phone's firmware you just try try yourself available xml files in firmware. if it will be wrong xml then it will auto terminate no need to worry.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crossmanx:
What happened man! there is no response from you, since very long time!! I think you have solved the problem and been very happy with the phone live again.

Follow last post, technically you only need adb connectivity to flash all at once with one click. Hope this will help you.

Of course, now you need the rom for your device.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CerealKiIIel:
Good to see anyone talking about LINUX here! I have my ZE550KL briked and the only thing I've been able to do till now are booting in fastboot and Android Recovery modes.

Wow, this helped me a lot! My Linux system was not able to recognize the device but reinserting the battery and trying volumeUP+PowerButton did the trick! Now running 'fastbood devices' lists it and of course that made it visible through Virtualbox too [Windows 7 guest OS].

Now, considering that I would really like to resuscitate my phone by using LINUX, what else should I do in order to succeed?

Thanks a lot and best regards.

Getting poor life at moment, gsam showing deep sleep 0%. Install same apps as on old one not sure what's happening yet.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] bc760:
It took me a couple days before I actually got good battery life. Needs to set in, what I recommend doing is fully charge it and let it get down to in-between 1 and 5 percent before charging again. Don't do any in-between charging, at least that's what works for me.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] JinxtPhoto:
My explodey Note 7 didn't get bad battery life at all. I couldn't complain one bit and was happy with it. This new Note 7 though... I think I got a real winner. It's less than 24 hours after switching and by this time of day I'm used to seeing the battery at about 62% give or take, but I'm at 84%. I'm sure it's placebo but I also feel this Note is just the tiny bit smoother and less laggy in the UI. Again, I had zero complaints about my first one so I suspect there's going to be sample variances across all spectrums with this.
