Guide to fix Zenfone 2 Laser

So here is the detailed guide for the people who are in similar to mine problem. Please note: I am not at all expert at this stuff. As I have previous experience, so I knew most of the technical stuff.

Device: ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser

Model Number: ZE550KL

System OS: Windows 10 (Website says drivers not available)

Problem

1. The phone got hard bricked. Stuck in ASUS logo.

2. Not able to wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition due to "mount /asdf error".

3. Not able to connect through ADB as the option to enable USB debugging wasn't available.

Symptoms

1. Home and Recent Apps Switcher soft buttons were not working.

2. Developer options say "Developer options not available for this user".

3. No ringtone and notification sounds, in fact, no notifications. at all.

4. No quick action buttons (Wifi and all other buttons) on notification drawer.

5. Apps not downloading from Play Store.

Error: "Error mounting /asdf partition", "Error in /asdf/recovery .... " kinds of error.

Time Taken: 15 Minutes

Downloadable files:

1. UL-Z00L-WW-1.17.40.1531-user.zip

2. All other files

Pre-install set-up:

1. Extract the zip files in "all other files" folder.

2. Paste the stockboot.img file in the extracted "ADB fastboot tool" folder. [Important]

Guide to Fix it.

1. Install ADB-setup executable file. A DOS window will open and opt for all yes. Self-explanatory as you install ADB and fastboot.

2. Go in Asus drivers folder and install (by right click option) on "android_winusb.inf" file located in Win_7_8_8.1 folder

3. Copy the ROM file ( UL-Z00L-WW-1.17.40.1531-user.zip ) in the root of your sdcard.

4. Enter fastboot mode on your device by pressing "UP volume key" and "Power button" until it vibrates. The fastboot text will be there on top-left of your Boot-up screen.

5. Now connect the device to the system.

6. While pressing Shift, right click anywhere ( Make sure you are in the ADB FastBoot Tool folder ) and select open Command Prompt here.

7. Type in the following commands.

> "fastboot flash boot stockboot.img" and press enter. If it says something ok..ok and all, then you are good to go. If not, then you should start a new thread here in XDA. Next, type this,

> "fastboot reboot" and then your device will reboot in recovery mode.

8. In recovery mode, select "Wipe data/factory reset" and "Wipe cache partition". Everything should execute without any problem now.

9. Now go to apply update from sd card and select the ROM file ( UL-Z00L-WW-1.17.40.1531-user.zip ) and select yes to install.

10. Once it is installed, your phone will work like it used to be. Install all your apps back and enjoy.

Please note, I am not expert in writing guides. If you need help please ask me.

Hope it fixes your device. If it does, leave a comment, I will be happy if it works.

Good Luck!

Note all devs: I am no expert. If I have done something somewhere wrong, please correct me. The exact method above worked for me though.

Concerning Samsung devices, does flashing a stock firmware clean of careers, without enabling root, void the warranty?

Flashing stock original firmware packages with odin does not trip knox, or void warranty.

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] AndreCalado:
Thanks :victory:

That is very reliving to know...

Because I accidentally bought a A5 2017 from a lazy career from Brazil that take too much time to liberate updates, that is when it do liberate...

So I want to flash the clean stock firmware...

Can I only find the firmware at Sammobile and such or is there some Samsung official channel?

I couldn't find at the Samsung site
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] korwynkim:
I think doing a factory data reset will revert you back to a clean, stock device.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] AndreCalado:
Wow, that would be better if it works​ this way

Anyway, for flashing another stock firmware, I have to factory reset the phone, than I will see what happens! Thank you guys ^^

Do you know how to make​ phone and notification volume increase and decrease together? I still couldn't find it at settings : / I'm a still a noob to Samsung things lol
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] AndreCalado:
Factory reset only didn't solve the question.

But flashing clean stock firmware, with odin, did it flawlessly!

Thanks guys, now I can receive ota updates exactly when they're released :victory:
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] burnt_31:
I flash my stock firmware with odin fro time to time when I mess phone up doing things I should not. It will revert your phone back until the the day u purchased. It will remove root and TWRP if installed.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] AndreCalado:
But does it also restore your device status to official?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] burnt_31:
I am not sure what u mean by official status. It puts it back to stock.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] disenna:
App Secure Folder doesn't work anymore

I am from Brazil as well and I did the same thing, bought my A5 (2017) at a mobile carrier (TIM) and it came with a custom rom, I downloaded and flashed the official stock rom from samsung. There is a problem though, the app Secure Folder does not work anymore. It says that I installed a non-authorized software. Do you know any solution?
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] AndreCalado:
I did not even enable it when I set up after flashing the clean stock rom, so I don't know whether I too have this issue or not. I only know that the device status is official both in the settings session of phone status and in recovery. In recovery - or download mode, can't remember exactly - there is some kind of counter on the upper left or right side, showing phone status and what I guess is the amount of times roms had been flashed or root access had been granted.

Sorry for the unclear infos, but I'm new to flashing and stuff with Samsung.

Check your phone status in those both places and wait for OTA from Samsung. If you receive OTA, that should mean your device is recognized as stock as it were with that sad TIM carrier stock rom. As soon as I set up and the home screen appeared for the firstly time, Samsung's OTA had shown up, so I was sure my device is recognized as a stock, official one, without Knox having been triggered.

Hope it helps make things clearer ^^

Guess I kind explained it now, right above lol
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Diztinct:
Hi! I'm considering buying a HTC TyTN and have been reading about the problems with the video performance and the ATI Imageon drivers. One of the key things that I'm interested in using my TyTN for is watching video.

I have been browsing around on the forums, reading different threads and trying to assemble a picture of the current status of this. It wasn't that easy, however. My apologies is this question has been asked a million times already.

I've seen that many new ROM's for the TyTN includes an ATI imageon fix cab and that this together with TCPMP player should solve many of the previous problems with playing video.

Are the drivers for the Imageon-chip still poor or does this fix mean that the performance is basically as good as it gets?

What I wonder is how well does it work now? Will I be able to play for example "standard" TV-ripped videos in Xvid/Divx with decent performance? I would like to not have to do transcoding of the "standard crop" of video files. I guess that the TyTN should be able to play them at least "in theory"?

What are your assessments of the current situation?

Thanks in advance!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Infuriated-Germ:
Imageon drivers can be flakey yes but there is a simple workaround.

Switch your Video player to use "Raw Framebuffer" instead. I've tested this with TCPMP and Coreplayer on the Stock Orange WM5 Rom and an upgraded WM6 Rom from here without issue.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] StarMonkee:
I can play downloaded tv eps and films fine - I've been playing around with spb mobile dvd to convert them down to about a third of their original size and they play perfectly.

I'm using raw framebuffer mode in TCPMP with sleuths ati fix and it all works fine :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Diztinct:
Awesome, this is sounding better and better! Seems like I should be able to unlock the device as well. I think I'm gonna get me one of these babies ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mrvanx:
ATi playback .... using hardware acceleration has been working for AGES, make sure you have an up to date WM6 ROM and you should be fine.

Ive been using Coreplayer (yes its the payware bigger brother of TCPMP....bloody cheap for what you get) and the hardware based video playback ROCKS!

ID recommend buying coreplayer over using TCPMP any day, considering the price of a Hermes the small price for coreplayer is peanuts in comparison.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Diztinct:
Interesting! What would you say are the big advantages with Coreplayer over TCPMP?

Better ATI hardware support, resulting in better video performance?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mrvanx:
Better ATi support, better looking skin, more functionality (storage card library system etc..) more support from the developers, free updates etc...

Totally worth buying.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Diztinct:
Now I'm the happy owner of an HTC TyTN :)

I have SIM-unlocked it and upgraded to Pays WM6 2.05. Everything went fine after I had spent some time reading threads, the wiki and being nervous :)

I've been checking out Coreplayer and I've decided on buying it.

Now I just need the 8 GB MicroSD-card that I ordered.

I also plan on modding the included handsfree so that I get a 3,5mm jack for my favourite headphones.

thanks in advance:)
[General Questions and Answers] tys0n:
If it fails at sboot, then it's probably because you're trying to flash a firmware that is older than the one already installed.

Try with the latest firmware.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Monkey Chops:
I've had my S8+ for about 6 weeks or so and maybe 3 times I have had the phone's battery drain really quickly below 50% when it's doing nothing and today, I got a message on the phone telling me that some apps were causing the phone to overheat and it needed to restart and the phone was indeed quite hot. So I went into the battery stats and did a screenshot, I've attached it below. Has anyone else had anything like this? I had a similar issue on an S4 with media server trying to catalog non media files on an SD card, but this phone hasn't got an external sd fitted.

Another odd thing is that I often put the phone on charge at night using the supplied wired charger and cable, and sometimes I notice that the battery is lower than expected at say mid morning and battery stats are showing that the phone has been discharging for much longer than it should have been, as if it had fully charged at night and then when it finished charging, it turned off the power and it started draining the battery. None of my other devices have ever done this!

Does this sound familiar to anyone else? Is there an easy fix?

Thanks :)

[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
I assume you enabled "adb over tcpip" if you're on android 6.

This message is sometimes a result of a bad wifi connection, but mostly due to an incorrect state of adbd on one or both devices (unit and/or pc).

Reboot your unit, reboot your pc/laptop. Try again.

About to wreck the car just to destroy head unit. Very frustrated. If I can hey it to connect, I receive adb server version 32 does not match client version 36. Then, "empty host name. Error, device '(null)', not found. I've been trying non-stop for 6 hours. I've rebooted both, I've reset, I've reinstall ADB, I've freakin shoved pins in a bloody doll and nothing works. Please help
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
Guessing you are on windows: Please try the attached windows versions. I use them in all scripts I provide to users. This version definitely works. If not, also give your firewall settings a look.

also: did you already enable adb over tcpip, and did you check it?

And if you want to root: You could also look at my script(s)
[Android Head-Units] redheadplantguy:
I didn't check, exactly. But often I AM CONNECTED. ADB devices command shows it connected, and ADB reboot command reboots unit. What firewall settings should I check? I'm SUCK ASS with networking and routers.
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
If that devices and reboot command work, you have a working connection. Not necessary to do something with the firewall or routing.

The only thing that sometimes troubles me and other users is a 2.4GHz vs. 5GHz wireless network.

What I'm going to state is from technical point nonsense, but it already helped many people.

The unit only functions on the 2.4GHz band. If you have your pc/laptop on 5GHz, you sometimes get connection errors and the like. Make sure your pc/laptop is also on 2.4GHz. Again: technically speaking this is nonsense as it is a base functionality/requirement of every router to route that properly, but it did help me and others. Maybe it is some timing problem.

Always make sure to start a connection with "adb kill-server". Adb will remain in memory and remember the connection you had before. That will never work again if either your laptop has been in sleep mode, or your unit was in sleep mode or rebooted.

So

adb kill-server
adb connect ip-address
adb root
adb connect ip-address
adb shell

the "adb shell" will bring you in a rooted terminal on the unit. You can exit with "exit" (surprising, isn't it?)

Of course: all commands should return without error.
[Android Head-Units] redheadplantguy:
Nice. I hadn't known about ADB memory before. Not the kill server command either. Gonna make some coffee, let unit rest, and I'll try that. After the ADB shell, how should I carry on? Running the .bat, or crunching line commands in? I don't necessarily NEED easy. Just root priveledge

---------- Post added at 06:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 AM ----------

After shell, laptop line shows 127|root@sofia3gr_car:/ # but head unit just shows regular screen.
[Android Head-Units] edit:
It's normal behavior...
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
That's absolutely correct. You're going in via the "back door", not the "front door".

You only have terminal access to the unit via adb.

If this is successful, you have full connectivity with your unit via adb over tcpip.

If you download my script (see signature), you can just use it to root your unit.
[Android Head-Units] redheadplantguy:
Thank you so much.

I know I'm exhausted from being up all night and probably overlooking it, but which file has the actual line commands listed? If I enter reach command manually, I can see at what area of it fails. Often, it helps me puzzle the problems. I will enter line by line tonight.
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
Enter each command manually? Why?

My script has an install.bat. You can simply execute that one as described on the release page.
[Android Head-Units] flexib0y:
Hello, I'm trying to root my unit again, but this time I had updated my Joying Sofia unit to 6.0.1. (previous version 5.1.1. I could easily root the unit following the steps from Surfers63 rooting script).

But now I'm running into the issue after installing the Joying extra tools, that I cannot enable the "adb via tcp/ip". I open the menu and click on enable,but nothing happens when pressing reboot.

SO i manually rebooted the unit, but then checking with the joying extra tools. I still see the status being "disabled".

How can i enable adb via TCP/IP?

Is there another method?
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
I made a stupid mistake. I rewrote the enable over tcpip part, because I had to rewrite everything after switching rooting method, but I made this also a rooted call which is not necessary and which does not work on a non -rooted unit.

I just uploaded a corrected apk. If you open the apk on your car, it will detect the new version automatically (if you are on wifi) Please check.
[Android Head-Units] flexib0y:
Okay! Thanks! :good: Will download the updated 35 version and will try again later, once I get back to the car.

Will update later on how it went. :fingers-crossed:
[Android Head-Units] flexib0y:
Hey surfer63,

I've installed the 35 version , but when I select to enable adb and then reboot. The status is still set to " disabled" when I go back to the JET tool and check the status.
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
Yes. That's again an error. I tried a quick fix on friday afternoon just before my holiday.

If you enable it and reboot your unit, it is really enabled. The app startup check is not correct at the moment.

The enabling works. The startup check not.
[Android Head-Units] flexib0y:
Aah okay, I finally got rooted. Indeed it was enabled, but the status was not update after reboot in JET.

I had to check the ip address with another tool.

Had some issues with the adb, but that my mistake not changing the permissions with the chmod command for Linux os.

Thanks allot for your help and tool ;)

I will test out the different options another day. Since it took me like half a day just to update the firmware. Got stuck few times at the " write end... " dos screen. Do you need to wait there ( half an hour or more)?
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
The total firnware update should take up to 25 minutes.
[Android Head-Units] flexib0y:
No, this was after the factor reset, reboot then installation of the " allApk.zip" or something (installing 42 packages). It will verify 2 things and then set brightness and next lines say in red" write end...." View attachment 4396899
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
That is completely wrong. Your firmware upgrade failed. Please download again and use a freshly formated usb-stick or sd-card.
