[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pesticide001:
My phone wich i never unlocked nor tried flashing with custom roms before started losing functionalities like part of the settings menu, for example the sim cards menu, not loading up or apps not loading/crashing and massive battery use, which i then solved by flashing a raw original rom file using fastboot from a nice guy on youtube with my exact model. youtube.com/watch?v=pOShAjiDeo0 , his 3 gig raw file and flashall.bat did everything with just one bat executable for me after extracting his package

This worked flawlessly to revive the phone five times to its out of the box original state, in the last 6-8 months after each time the phone started having these weird glitches as if it forgot parts of its systemfiles im assuming . (and the phones built in recovery factory reset thing didnt do anything to fix the phone)

Yesterday while in the mids of using the phone on the loo surfing the web all apps i was using started crashing instantly after opening them so i was like, ok lets flash again for the sixt time like we have done before, only this time, it gave me FAILED error at the partitioning stage. Im suspecting my partition is corrupted this time , as even the recovery mode of the phone does not load , it just keeps rebooting when i press the volume down button while powering on the phone. Fastboot still works when holding the volume up button and is the only thing working at this time

flashall.bat (@ECHO OFF FOR /F "delims=" %%i IN ('dir "%~dp0" /B ^| findstr /I "raw"') DO ( SET RAW=%%i )

fastboot flash all -f "%RAW%"

fastboot oem adb_enable

fastboot continue )

Thanks for reading, my first time dabling in all this stuff as id hate to see a perfectly good screen and ram and device going to waste because of a corrupted storage system, partition issue. How to i go about recreating the partition in such a case ? all i have to work with is fastboot, i never got this adb stuff to list the device)
