[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Guides, News, & Discussion] SirLoinOfBeef:
My rooted stock Zenfone 6 randomly died yesterday.

Following these instructions I get:

ERROR: function: sahara_rx_data:277 Unable to read packet header. Only read 0 bytes.

ERROR: function: sahara_main:983 Sahara protocol error

ERROR: function: main:320 Uploading Image using Sahara protocol failed

The screen remains black no matter what button combinations I use, but is picked up in QFIL (but that spits out the same errors).

Any suggestions?

Start ufs flat download . . .
