[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Fantasticooo:
I have created a partation called ROM in desktop for the original zip files that I download and I have got hte extracted files in my C drive with just the number of the version like ww1908. Then with the extracted files I double click on "flashall_AFT" to run command promt. Sometimes for 5 min it will load and the cmd screen will disappper itself and my phone is still in the recovery mode. The phone starts with WW ROM as I used to had but gets bootloop for 5-6 times and then gets stucked.

I guess the problem is as you said I am on my recovery mode but not in fastboot mode. I don't know the difference between two and if I am in recovery mode then could you please tell me how I can go to fastboot mode.

I tried a lot but could not upload a picture from my computer.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
Fastboot mode is the first screen you see after letting go of power. No need to enter recovery mode, that menu you see that includes recovery where you use volume buttons to scroll through the options, that's fastboot mode no need to select anything...

Hope that helps. just plug the phone in to pc or laptop when it's in that mode using the side port and run flashall_aft.cmd after that

Hi, is there a raw file with the latest version 25 or 21?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
WW or CN?

Here's WW 1908.21

https://drive.google.com/file/d/13Mgz9GhopE-DUsGT3N_5qC283cKkUxYb/view?usp=drivesdk

.25 is yet to come out, as far as I'm aware

Okay, I get it ... I don't think version 25 is out yet.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
Once you've flashed .21 you can (providing your fingerprint is WW too) go ahead and update manually to .25 here

My device can not update normally...

My device is WW version...

The IMEI number of my device has been changed due to country conditions :(

Also the unlock tool on the asus site gives network error on my device and it doesn't work.

For this reason, I can only load the raw file that contains the script.

I tried it in fastboot too but the same thing happened, the cmd screen showed for a while then got lost and my phone is not rebooting.

Could someone please add some pictures so that I can be sure how to do it. I did try to do the videos in the internet but it won't work as smoothly as it works for them. I am doing ditto of what they are doing.

Need help ASAP Plz :(

Story: Was trying to update my phone to the latest 191035 WW from 1906 WW installed on it. Knowing absolutely nothing about the flashing/rooting process, I followed this video with the title "ASUS ROG 2 FULLY CONVERTED GLOBAL ROM WITH WORKING THEMES AND UPDATES" which actually shows converting from CN to WW when I thought it was the actual firmware upgrade itself-tutorial. Following the video, I unlocked the bootloader, rooted it, and converted from CN to WW (The seller who flashed WW did not change fingerprint). At the end, I relocked bootloader and flashed stock 191035 for unrooting.

Issue: Right after restarting after the unroot, "Slot _a is unbootable" message comes up. Now, adb will not process any kind of command whatsoever in fastboot mode. Lastly, I have no clue about how the actual flashing is done in the first place. And having read through all of this thread, it seems flashing the correct raw rom supposedly fixes the issue but since adb commands are not working I am clueless. Also not sure if the original 1906 WW would apply or the new 191035 WW.

I can't even upload pictures on here. But this is basically what happens in adp:

"fastboot flashall update.zip"

"error: ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT not set"

or

"fastboot erase cache"

"erasing 'cache'...

FAILED (remote: Erase is not allowed in Lock State)

finished. total time: 0.011s"

Almost all commands return "Erase is not allowed in Lock State"

Thanks in advance to anyone who helps.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
Can't help much just now as working. But can you at least get to fastboot mode, connect to pc and see if it's recognised with 'fastboot devices'
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] ronin1728:
Go to fastboot mode as mentioned above, then reflash the latest "raw" file you can find. You don't need ADB as long as you can enter fastboot mode.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
I only mentioned adb to check the device is recognised, but yeah, as you said, Flash the latest raw...
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] imasyang:
I read this whole thread and all seems to point to just flashing the latest raw but whenever I try to it just says flashing is not allowed in lock state....really need help asap.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
1. Did you extract the contents of the raw?

2. Did you remove or delete the original zip file from the same folder that you extracted the raw rom to? If not, remove that.

3. Have you, or you need to be, running flashall_AFT.cmd in fastboot mode. There should be a cmd screen while it runs, then the phone will reboot itself twice (I think) once done...

Have you completed all of these steps?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] imasyang:
I found out the problem...I was using a different ADB and fastboot program provided by a video that I was following to flash my rom to WW. The ADB they provided does not come with the flashall_AFT.cmd which is why I was so confused what this thread was talking about :silly:.

Anyway I managed to found the right one with the provided raw firmware and I got it working again! Thanks for replying.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
Excellent!
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] twinklejadoo:
Got mine to work as well!!

Just didn't know that raw firmware comes with its own adb with "flashall" cmd file, which originally I was scoring the entire net for lol. Was able to recover using 1908 raw then later manually updating to 191035.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
Grand, glad for you!
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] ronin1728:
Flashing raw should not concern about locked or unlocked bootloader, if that's what it means about "lock state". One thing to make sure though is to put the extracted raw to the root of your C:/ drive. Hope that helps. Good luck.

---------- Post added at 02:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:39 AM ----------

OH yeah, same with me when I flashed for first time. I was confused about this 'raw' file. I thought the files at the ASUS website are the 'raw' files. It turns out this they are different from the website. Haha :highfive:
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] rowihel2012:
never seen phone can be fixed so easy like asus rog 2

with installing rom flashall_AFT

thanks asus
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] reg66:
I agree, it is pretty nifty
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Akashkc:
did u replace that rom as a zip or with raw type file?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] twinklejadoo:
If your phone is bricked, download raw rom (both CN and WW worked for me), unzip it and open "flashall_AFT". Wait when cmd is open until your phone restarts and it should be recovered.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] Akashkc:
Did that, with other RAW files.. Only a specific one worked.. but that was the way. From CN to WW everything is great. Thanks

Kicking myself

I was able to successfully load WW 1910. It was stock CN. Even changed the country code to WW. Unfortunately, I then ran asus-csc_lk to lock the device. This crashed slot a. I'm not sure if it's because I didn't load the unrooted boot image back first or what. I can still access fastboot, but not recovery mode. I can make slot b active, but then it gets stuck doing a ram dump. I don't even think one can boot from slot b anyways can you? I'm pretty new to this stuff. I get this error, "Flashing is not allowed in Lock State", no matter what I do. Can't sideload (never worked for me anyways), can't flash boot image, can't even flash raw (tried both WW and CN). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] twinklejadoo:
If you'r sure you changed the fingerprint/country to WW. Then download an early raw WW version, 1906 or 1908, try both. And make sure you unzip the files first and it has "ADB_flashall" file after unzipping, otherwise its not the raw files. Run "ADB_flashall", if CMD loads and stays on, give it time until phone restarts. If that doesnt work try CN with both versions. One of the raws if not multiple should restore the phone. Afterwards you can change fingerprint to WW if not already and update to 1910 in-device. Other things to note - theres no revovery mode when you are bricked, just stay on the screen where you would select the actual recovery option (fastboot mode) And make sure you are connected to USB connection on left side of phone not bottom. Hope this helps:)
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] greywookiee:
Success!!!

Here's the step-by-step that would have saved me a lot of time:

After you have downloaded the zip file, here are the step-by-step instructions:

1. Extract the zipped folder wherever you want on your PC.

2. Open a CMD window.

3. cd /d <whatever path it is to the "\ASUS_ROG2_ZS660KL_QPST_Firmware\images" folder> e.g., "cd /d D:\RogPhoneII\ASUS_ROG2_ZS660KL_QPST_Firmware\imag es"

4. Make sure your PC is connected to the side port of your phone and the phone is in fastboot mode (Volume UP button + Power button).

5. Check and make sure your PC is connected properly by entering "fastboot devices" in the command window. You should see the ID of your device.

6. Then enter "fastboot oem enter-dload" in the command window. This will put the phone in emergency download mode (EDL). My phone went all black.

7. Open "\ASUS_ROG2_ZS660KL_QPST_Firmware\MiFlash2018-5-28-0" folder. Launch "XiaoMiFlash.exe".

8. Click "refresh". You should see a device in the list.

9. Click "select" and navigate to the "\ASUS_ROG2_ZS660KL_QPST_Firmware\images" folder.

10. Click "flash". Wait until it says "success".

11. After it's done, you'll hold down the UP button, Down button, and Power button on the phone at the same time until it shuts down.

12. Hold Up button and Power button at same to boot into fastboot mode again. Select Recovery mode by using the Up/Down buttons on the phone. Press the Power button to select.

13. Select "wipe data" from the drop down list. Go down the list of "no" until you get to the "yes" and press the Power button.

14. Select "reboot now".

15. Done.

Hello guys, I just bricked my phone. I was trying to follow some other tutorials but I don't understand the problem. I will try to explain (sorry about my english writing):

I received my tencent 8/128 Rog Phone 2, with WW 1906 rom version. I tried to do the bootloader method to go to WW 1907. Then I had a bootloop.

I ran the flashall_AFT.cmd from a CMD Windows Console, because at first it was closing inmmediatly, so I ran without Admin Privileges, and it runs but with an error.

Looking at the fastboot.log file, that describes the process, I got this (it's only the end of a large file, previous text looks OK):

writing 'CRC_xrom'

OKAY [ 3.063s]

Erasing 'vendor'...

(It's complicated but Device Working now)

First of all I'm SORRY for late reply,

I Have a tencent edition, WW1906.19 with CN fingerprint, CTS profile test failed & McDonald's app refused to work. Worrying other banking apps may also not work in future

i Unlocked device, flashed WW1910.35, Rooted to change the finger print to WW, Unrooted & finally Locked back the device using CMD

But the device just got kinda stuck & said "slot unbootable". I Tried to flash WW1910.35 again but it said "device is locked" on CMD

So I went through this thread and tried to flash CN1908 & it finally worked & found out the fingerprint to be WW then I flashed WW1910.64 but CTS profile falied, so I rooted & checked & it passed and then i unroothed & tried to lock back my device & it again got stuck at "slot unbootable"

Then I went back to flash 1908CN assuming device is locked but accidentally started flashing WW1910.35 I tried to lock it but wiped it(or did something but I don't exactly remember) & flashed WW1910.35 again & later it worked successfully.

I found out that CTS profile passed, fingerprint was WW with WW1910.35 and SOMEHOW device was also locked. So i neither needed to root/unroot nor lock the device back. And not all apps are working without any security issue & also got the themes & twin apps to work which previously didn't work.

I shared this so maybe it will help others
[ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers] JxEdDa:
This slot_a is unbootable happened to me too in the process of switching from CN to WW because i accidentally skipped a command(i think i locked the root before i flashed it to bootstock).

So i just went back to step one, start phone in fastboot and then the following steps through minimal adb, running flashall, so on and so forth.

And now im in WW 2004 from CN 1907. Hope this helps.:angel:
