I get ""cannot find file flash_all_lock.bat"" my phone is bricked with a locked bootloader

I went into EDL mode and then went into the WW****.raw directory to select the flash_raw as the MiFlash kept giving me errors. The device rebooted and continues to end up at the same Waiting for flashing full ramdump....
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Run it from the correct folder
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] mikeychsia:
I unzipped the raw file and looked through the list of files in the list and did not find this flash_all_lock.bat and I checked every folder I have downloaded for this file and thus far nothing
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] mikeychsia:
I used the flash_all for both these 2 firmwares on my phone. for the CN version you can see the startup screen starting with a different logo (so I guess its flashed) and then reverting to the WW version it goes back to the original version starting logo I had with the phone. Still the waiting for flash ram dump message will appear and the phone is stuck.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Why did you unpack the raw looking for that and not use the flash_raw file they include?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] mikeychsia:
I tried using the flash_raw it didnt work either. Thanks for the suggestion.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Didn't work at all or didn't solve the issue? If it didn't work at all, then it sounds like it could be defective hardware. The raw firmware flash should be able to override any issue short of broken hardware or a corrupt bootloader.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] mikeychsia:
It didnt solve the issue. I still get the same Waiting to flash ram dump message, so my guess is its a hardware issue. Thanks for your advice here. Appreciate it
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Rex369:
Im very sure its a software problem, (Android 11) I have been use rog 3 for almost 1 year and no problen at all, until Android 11 comes out, i try to install it and bomm 1 by 1 error came, 1 week after upgrading android 11, my rog 3 cant detect its own fan said, ( please use only rog 3 fan) it never happen on android 10, few days later my phone vibration failed, since i use triggers to play game ive notice that no vibration feedback when i press the trigger but no problem with the touch respond just the vibration didn't work anymore.. and few days later biggest problem come in, my phone restart it self while gaming, ive also notice that the phone heat going really high than older verson (android 10) i was actually waiting for new update to fix the problem, because i know the problem is from software itself unfortunately my ROG 3 getting hardbrick before receive new update from asus.. I can sure that, software problem lead to hardware problem.. Android 11 for rog 3/5 need optimization..
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
This isn't a 3, though. Different hardware will respond to the software differently. It's also a completely different fan interface. That aside, it doesn't seem your issue is with EDL mode and that's where you posted. Sounds like you fried the internals.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Rex369:
Im just give an idea where's that problems come from, i do a lot of research about Rog 3 and Rog 5 problems, and mostly commonly Rog 5 have an issue with auto restart, heating issues, what makes me thinks that its a software problem because, my phone rog 3 never have any problem before upgrading to android 11.. and i have been using it for heavy gaming almost 1 year without problem with android 10.. another 1, there's so many cases that ROG 5 hardbrick, bootloop problem just in a few month using it, because rog 5 already using Android 11.. i do notice that my rog 3 have an heating issues, framedrop, fan error, vibration stop working after upgrading android 11 before getting hardbricked.. talk about EDL, and why i searching about rog 5 even i use rog 3 because both of them using android 11, i also cant find the solution for my rog 3, even i install all required driver for my rog 3 as what deadlyindian provide to unbrick it didn't work on android 11.. only Android 10 below can..
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Thanks, but this still isn't a ROG Phone 3 and you're still posting in the EDL repair thread about possible hardware issues.

A phone that upgrades to Android 11 and one designed for it will handle it differently.

Edit: all bootloop issues have been solved with raw firmware. They are completely different from hardware failure and often the result of a failed attempt to lock the bootloader without the proper preparation.

Now that the EDL F/W is complete, how does it help us (unfortunate owners of tencent versions with relocked B/L) getting root access?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
It doesn't help you much with root. It can restore a bricked device. There are rumors it can reset the device to allow unlocking again, but I haven't looked into it enough to confirm.

Thank you for your response. I hope there's someone to test this rumor. Unfortunately I can't do it myself since this is the only device I have as of now.

Replace the firmware in that guide with the one here. I believe the firehose file is also placed in the "images" folder.

Since I have not bricked my phone, I have been unable to test. I do not plan to brick my phone for testing purposes.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] 3rehaan:

[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Is the firehose the only file you are selecting? You have to select the whole folder
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] aimsjahan:
I believe he DID select the whole images folder since there is no options for selecting a single file. The flashing process takes approx. 15 seconds to flash the firehose file only & shows success notification anyway. But the phone seems to be unaffected.

My ROG 5 is not bricked, but I am desperate enough for root access to try the rumor that by edl flashing a tencent+WW+locked device might be unlockable again..

Pls help me i cant flashed
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Why can't you post your solution here?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Andrologic:
Tested this on a ROG5 WW and failed. Same results as reported by folks above. Worst, the device can no longer come out of EDL effectively meaning it's bricked (for now anyway).

If the rawprogram + patch XML's were available, flashing could be tried via QFIL but that doesn't seem to be the case - I may try to create those. Trying to flash each partition with QFIL without the XML's also fails.

Question: This new fire hose file that has surfaced and being shared - Has it been tested and verified as being compatible and working as described?

@HunterTik : You're the OP of this guide. Is there a reason you decided to exclude the all important EDL firehose & key files from your uploads?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Personally, no. It did come from a legitimate source, but that's why I mentioned having not bricked my phone to test and not necessarily recommending it

It is ALWAYS recommended that a raw firmware is tried first. If installing without a wipe doesn't work, wiping should be the next step. If the phone boots (even to the bootloader), then using the EDL restore should NOT be considered. It is a last ditch effort. It will NOT solve any issue a raw firmware can't already restore unless you have corrupted the bootloader itself.

I have removed the files until such time as I can confidently provide a method to use them and can verify they work.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Alexio34:
Excuse me did anyone try to flash twrp or unlock bootloader from edl mode without the official tool asus unlock utility if I remember right ?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] aimsjahan:
What do you mean?

As of now, the official app does not work on relocked tencent version.

And according to @twistedumbrella, the is a "rumor" that, edl flash can reset the bootloader status so that it can be unlocked again. Unfortunately the flashing process described in this thread is NOT executable as verified by @Andrologic.

Hope this answers the question. If not, pls feel free to elaborate..
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Alexio34:
So at the moment isn’t a sure thing, but wait so if I flash a phone from edl mode the unlocked bootloader staus will be overwritten by new stock bootloader (locked) and the application of unlock may not work again. For twrp instead is possible to flash it from edl, maybe also magisk ?

Maybe using a tool like hydra tool or something that can perform root and activation skip and other function ?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Jamshid66:
Isn't anyway that we can get out of this situation?!

How can know that this bootloader is break or not!?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Alexio34:

Is there a way for me to download this file?

[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Jamshid66:
But no one got results from these files
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
That is why the link was removed. It is better to remove the files, even if they may eventually work, when there is no confirmation to prevent people who are hasty to start clicking and flashing from causing more damage than they are trying to fix.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Jamshid66:
It is better to test before sending the file
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
The reason I keep saying not to use it unless you are bricked already is that when you are bricked, it can't do any more damage than you already did. That is why I told you (yes you, specifically) to try a raw firmware and contacting Asus first.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Jamshid66:
I mean, when a few people tested and there was no answer, it's better to be deleted
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:

[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Andrologic:
Was it the exact same? I couldn't get that file to work, my device hard bricked on it (could have been a one off). What he's sharing here looks like a full firehose pack to me including the rawprog + patch xml's. That means in theory we should be able to do a proper and complete EDL flash...
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
Yeah. It's the same. Qualcomm does offer the package to repair shops, but not free. That's why you see so many sites charging for it. The one posted here is actually the exact one most of them have been selling.

Factory_ZS673KS_18.0501.2009.77_M1.8.3.21_OPEN_Phone-userdebug_repack_FUSE_RPMB - Google Search

The original source of the file I shared probably thought it could be used alone or didn't know it required authentication (because the wrong file should have failed).
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Andrologic:
The only way I know of using a stand-alone firehose file is to use it for reaching the partitions (e.g by using QFIL) and manually flash each partition all the way or just enough to get you back to Fastboot for doing a normal firmware flash.

Otherwise I believe the programraw + patch xml's are always required for doing a full EDL flash - as far as I know anyway... The OP of this "guide" has not been honest because all the necessary files have magically been left out from his files (I can only guess why)...
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] twistedumbrella:
All the guides I had read for for a collection of random Qualcomm software, so the only thing I knew was missing was the firehose. I also read somewhere that the patched qcn file that fell from the sky was for unlocking bands, but that is a whole other can of worms.

I have a feeling what was left out wasn't intentional, but complete lack of awareness of what was actually required. I can't really blame anyone for trying to post what they have and let others try to find a use for it, but pretending it was complete and tested was a bit of a stretch.
