[Asus Zenpad 8.0 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] DiracDeBroglie:
Hi,

I got an old Asus Android S 8.0 Z580CA tablet with above mentioned processor.

The bootloader is bricked, so I got a black screen all the time.

However, xFSTK downloader running on my Win7 PC seems to communicate with the tablet over USB.

In an attempt to restore the bootloader, I tried to flash the binaries dnx_fwr.bin, ifwi.bin and droidboot_dnx.img.POS_sign.bin

All went well at start but then xFSTK returned an error right after FW: Sending DnX DCFI00 : ER04 - see log file here after.

So I am left with some questions:

1) Any idea how to work around the error or solve the problem? What could be the cause for ER04?

2) Where could I download the latest binaries for the processor?

Thanks in advance
