[ASUS ZenFone 8] Adaoh:
You do not need a recovery, the original post instructions will be simpler as it is basically plug it and leave it do its thing for 10-15 minutes. No need for manual intervention unless an error pops up
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Babarecords:
I just got home, the phone is 94% charged.

I followed di$hwa$he recommended instructions and was at step 2, the phone then went off and won't turn back on even though it's plugged into the charger. Also the vibration and the diodes do not work, as if it is suddenly completely dead, I think I'm about to really panic, damn, I'm really desperate
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Adaoh:
Please check your XDA direct messages, in your notifications there should be an envelope icon
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Babarecords:
Have it now tried again (many times) suddenly it starts but again with the known error, so I revise my statement from just, thank God it is not dead.

The Firmaware is loaded and I now try to follow the instructions wieter from di$hwa$her
[ASUS ZenFone 8] di$hwa$her:
Hi Baba, can you still access the Green START (by pressing all 3-buttons usually for 3-5 seconds, etc..) ?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] di$hwa$her:
If it is already 94% charged, pls disconnect from charger for time-being. Reason being, It can get pretty warm during fast-charging. Re-Connect charger again when battery is slightly lower...eg. 70-80%.

Are you still able to access Green START (by pressing all 3-buttons simultaneously for 3-5 seconds etc) ? It is very important that you can still access the Green START.

Is your troubleshooting PC running Windows? Which version of ADB are you using? Make sure PC usb drivers for ADB/Fastboot are properly installed and can detect your ZF8.

Eg.

Connect PC-ZF8 using usb cable. Then as Administrator, type

adb.exe devices

fastboot.exe devices

Can it detect your device?

If able to detect your device, then proceed to load TWRP as follows (even if you hv Lineage-recovery currently installed)

Can you load TWRP, by running as Administartor,

fastboot.exe boot /path/to/your/TWRP-3.6.1.img

Being able to boot up TWRP is very important if referring to my guide.

If cannot boot up TWRP, any error message shown or can you attach screenshot of error message here. If not mistaken, Lineage recovery pre-requisite include flashing its own specific vendor-boot.img, do you have backup of Asus ZF8 Stockrom's boot.img and vendor-boot.img? , because there's possiblity you may need to revert back to stockrom's vendor-boot.img (and/or boot.img) first, before attempting to run, fastboot.exe boot TWRP-3.6.1.img.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] di$hwa$her:
Hi Baba, after re-reading all your comments, my guess is:

- your PC's ADB is currently unable to detect your ZF8 ..because you said it shows 'Waiting for device...' <---you need to make sure the correct drivers are installed, use high-quality USB cable eg. Samsung's cable, and your PC can actually detect & communicate with your ZF8 device, first and foremost. Because if PC's ADB still cannot detect your device ZF8, no communication at all whatsoever...then afraid it's not possible for you to proceed with troubleshooting any further whichever guide you follow, be it OP's, Adaoh's or mine. Fix the ADB ' Waiting for device...' issue first, usually due to drivers and usb cable.

- dread to think that your issue is possibly due to hardware failure, eg. prolong overheating from excessive 3D gaming with ZF8. Zenfone8 is not meant for heavy gaming experience, because ZF8 gets overheat easily. It is afterall, compact-sized and pack a powerful fast& furious dragon SD888. Keep the dragon cool & chill, and it will serve you well.

If indeed your issue is due to 'fried' motherboard, processor, internal storage, or any other faulty physical components, You may need to take it to the expert/service center for component parts replacement.

All the best to you.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Babarecords:
The user Adaoh helped me to solve the problem successfully, it was apparently due to a "broken" driver, but the problem was quickly solved, then with his help I was able to bring the device back to factory state, I am very happy and satisfied
[ASUS ZenFone 8] chrisrevoltes:
Hi everyone,

Im stuck with some faulty partitions. Thats why I wanted to re flash stock ROM, but I cant get it to work.

I cant find the scrpts anywhere. I downloaded and unzipt all linked archives and some from ASUS HP, but except for the downgrade one, all have the same structure and no script:

/META-INF/com/android/metadata

/META-INF/com/android/atacert

/payload.bin

/payload_properties.txt

I can excract the payload with the payload dumper, but it just extracts a lot of (partition) images.

I tried it manually, but TWRP throws erros amd abrupts.

My phone doesn't have those partitions (anymore....??). Thats what TWRP showing:

Formating all of those partitions leads to this error:

I can reformat data.

I can't install the ROM either with TWRP or adb sideload:

Is there any other way? It cant be that hard to reformat the partitions correct ...

Any help is appreciated

How to opt-out and revert back to Android 11​

Please follow the instructions below to opt-out via Fastboot mode. Should you require any onsite help, please visit your nearest ASUS customer service center.

Prerequisites

Please back up any personal data first. All user data will be erased after installing the firmware.

Ensure your battery's charge level is higher than 20%.

Step 1

Turn the device off, hold down the Volume Up key and then hold down Power key to enter Fastboot mode. After that, connect your Zenfone 8 to your PC via a USB cable.

Step 2

Decompress the Android 11 image file, and then use the included scripts to flash your phone:

Windows: Double click the update_image.bat file

Ubuntu: Execute update_image.sh

MacOS: Execute update_image_for_mac.sh

Caution: Do not unplug the USB cable and ensure a stable connection between your Zenfone 8 and PC during the flashing process.

Step 3

When the flash update finishes, a ‘Download Complete’ message will appear on the terminal. Hit the Enter key on the keyboard to restart your Zenfone 8. If any failed message appears on the terminal, the flash was unsuccessful. In this case, please try again or report the issue.

[ASUS ZenFone 8] mrnike1:
Hi everyone,

I Screwed up my phone trying to update from LOS 18.1 for MicrG to 19.1 for microG today. First i flashed the recovery, which returned a message like:

and then, when the process got completed i rebooted to recovery and got a full screen of code with following error message :

I managed the get out of it (pressing the 3 keys) and rebooted the device..., into recovery 18.1. (with a message at the bottom of the screen):

Assuming the recovery hadn't been flashed (properly), i flashed it again. It returned me then a message like:

When i tried to boot the device again, i was stuck in fastboot mode. Even the "Recovery mode" menu would boot back to fastboot. When turned off, if connected to a computer or the power, the phone would then automatically turn on and boot into fastboot.

Looking for a solution, i stumbled upon this post and tried the OP's guidelines, full of hope. But pretty quick i got following error message:

I have to mention that i initialy first installed LOS 18.1 and then decided to try LOS 18.1 for microG. But during the installation i didn't flash it to LOS 18.1 for microG recovery, thinking both OS would be similar. The install of LOS microG went fine (i used the phone for about 2 weeks), except a signature error message .

I would really appreciate any help, as i'm completly lost.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] di$hwa$her:
You,'re welcome. Glad to know your TWRP backup works. Cheers.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] di$hwa$her:
Hi Mike,

You're the 2nd person to encounter 'Waiting for flashing full ramdump..' while trying to upgrade directly from Los18 (Android-11) to Los19 (Android-12). The 1st person is Babarecords, try read his comments in this thread first. It may be helpful for you, hopefully.

P.S.:

Not sure about followings, proceed at own risk. Perhaps upgrade from Los18(Android-11) to Zenfone8 Stockrom Android11 first, then followby upgrade to Stockrom Android12, if successful then only, if you wish to upgrade to Los19(Android-12).

Los18 Android11 --> Stockrom Android11 --> Stockrom Android12 --> Los19 Android12
[ASUS ZenFone 8] mrnike1:
Tks for your quick reply.

I read the post several times already. I followed the instructions of the original post, but got this error:

I'm not sure the usb drivers for ADB/Fastboot are properly installed. In device manager i got an "code 10 error" when installing the drivers. But the phone is detected by the adb devices and fastboot devices commands.

Should i follow your 6 steps manual guidelines or should i try to upgrade from Los18 to Zenfone8 Stockrom Android-12 ? I'm quite unsure about the latter, as i'm a complete noob. I'm afraid of definitely bricking my phone if i follow the wrong precedure.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] di$hwa$her:
Hi there Mike,

If you type these commands and they return with your device ID, it seems usb drivers and cables are working properly.

adb devices

fastboot devices

Now if you were to ask me which guide to follow, i''ll say my guide using TWRP-3.6.1.img recovery because i have never tried other guide personally, i have only tried my guide because my old PC doesnt support transferring large files.

To use TWRP-3.6.1.img recovery, type followings,

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot devices

fastboot boot twrp-3.6.1.img

Huge thanks to TWRP-3.6.1.img, i did manage to successfully

1) revert from stockrom Android-12 to stockrom Android-11 successfully.

2) revert from customrom Android-11 to stockrom Android-11 successfully.

3) recover from couple of ramdumps and bootloop.

TWRP-3.6.1.img is like my swiss-army knife for Zenfone8.

However, ultimately, the choice is yours to make and you proceed at your own risk, whichever guide you feel comfortable with.

P.S.

If i were you, i'll use TWRP-3.6.1.img as recovery. And try to revert back to Zenfone8 Android-11 stockrom first ,specifically version WW-30.12.112.72 (2.96GB)

Then later, if i manage to install Stockrom Android-11 successfully...then only consider upgrading to Stockrom Android-12...and finally, if you wish to upgrade to Los19 Android-12.

Los18 Android11 --> Stockrom Android11 --> Stockrom Android12 --> Los19 Android12
[ASUS ZenFone 8] mrnike1:
hey di$hwa$her,

tks for your help.

I finally managed to fix my phone using the op's solution. The first time i ran the script as an admin and had decompressed the files in the original folder which was in a folder on my desktop. This time i ran it with user priviledges and put the decompressed folder on my desktop directly.

But there is still something which arouses my curiosity: why do i have to update to andrdoid 12 to install LOS 19.1 ? Isn't a clean install gonna wipe everything anyway ?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] di$hwa$her:
You're welcome Mike, glad you managed to fix it. Cheers!

Guess putting the decompressed folder on the desktop directly solved it for you. By running as Administrator ensure the script has even more privilege (than User) to execute commands. But if User privilege works and is sufficient, then it is a much safer and better option than running as Administrator. Good.

To begin with, i have never installed any LOS on Zenfone8. Maybe someday i will, but so far have not tried any version of LOS on this particular device.

The idea of installing Stockrom Android12 first before installing any Customrom Android12, is more about installing any prerequisite & propietary Firmware and BLOBS (Binary Large Objects) which maybe required as 'base' for the proper running of the Customrom OS. It's more about updating the Firmware as preparation for installing any Customrom, usually the pre-requisite is stated clearly in the Customrom's OP.

Also, we noticed that original Stockroms.zip filesize is usually much bigger than Customrom.zip filesize. The forner has more files inside.

Cheers again! Good.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] xoner8:
Thanks for posting these steps! They worked perfectly. Only things different for me:

- I used version WW-30.12.112.82 (rather than .72)

- There were errors that prevented the first wipe actions from succeeding. The filesystem type had to be changed to ext4 before performing the wipe.

- The very final reboot didn't lead to a working phone; instead it went into the Asus recovery screen where I had to perform a factory reset. But then everything seems to work perfectly.

I had previously installed LineageOS which involved a custom vendor_boot.img too. Now just wondering if it's safe to relock the bootloader so that the boot-time warning can be stopped!

Thanks.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] di$hwa$her:
No pls!!! Dont Re-lock Zenfone8's bootloader!! There is big possiblity you may not be able to Un-lock it ever again!! Or even worse, hardbricking your Zenfone8 while relocking bootloader with CustomRom installed! Dont even think about relocking bootloadr, its really pointless and the risk of hardbricking is real !

Dont worry too much about the splash screen boot-time warning, it's not unusual for any Unlocked androids.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] di$hwa$her:
Your welcome Xoner8, glad you managed to fix it. Cheers.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] mrnike1:

[ASUS ZenFone 8] Adaoh:
Maybe the .zip file was not completely extracted, it takes some time as it is very large. Also, you could try using the update_image.bat file if you are on windows or the update_image.sh if you are on linux, and if you are on a mac, use the update_image_for_max.sh file inside the extracted archive

[ASUS ZenFone 8] mrnike1:
Hi folks,

unfortunately, i'm back here again...

I'm about to execute the OP's method for the 3rd time since i last posted... I'm afraid i really messed up something on my phone, but i don''t know what. I tried to install so many recoveries (LOS, TWRP, stock...) and OS, that my phone must be a real mess.

In order to track down the problem, i would like to know wheater this restauration procedure erases absolutely everything from former installs, OS and recoveries.

Thanks
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Adaoh:
From experience, yes, it does erase everything. It also flashes every (not sure, could be some partitions left unflashed) partition to a default state.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] mrnike1:
Thank you. That's good to know.

I'll then wait untill the next update of LOS ils out.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ibolito:
Hello, do you have access to the bootloader? If yes, I advise you to follow the steps listed here on Asus Android 13 Beta page, the last part titled "How to opt-out and revert back to Android 12". It worked for me after messing up my phone. Just reboot to bootloader (not fastboot mode) and follow the steps. Here's the link to the page :

Android-13-Beta | ASUS Global

www.asus.com
[ASUS ZenFone 8] mrnike1:
Thanks for your feedback ibolito.

Actually i already managed to revert to Android 11, as per OP's instructions. Actually the challenge is to manage to install Lineage 19.1 on my device.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ibolito:
You're welcome. I was struggling too, trying to get the vendor boot by myself but you don't have to extract it yourself. Just do what I told > you'll be on stock Android 12. From there go back to the Lineage OS 19 download page and you'll see they provide the modified vendor boot! Flash it, flash the lineage recovery, sideload the ROM from your lineage recovery, flash the Gapps (very important don't boot without flashing Gapps) and you're done!

Here's the link to official install instructions that worked for me (you'll find the link to the vendor boot here too, read and follow the steps carefully) : https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/sake/install

Lineage official download page for ROM and recovery : https://download.lineageos.org/sake

[ASUS ZenFone 8] mrnike1:
Thanks ibolito.

I'm know back on Android 12.

Which lineage 19.1 version do you think i should download ? Will any work or should i choose the latest one (20220520)? I'm reluctant to do so, bcz i will afterward install Lineage for microG on it, which is currently on version 19.1-20220505. I'm fearing that the LOS microG install will fail due to a downgrade.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] mrnike1:
Well, halft way there, LOS 19.1 installed successfully.

I'll then have to wait untill the corresponding microG version is released.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] mrnike1:
Thanks for your help, guys.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ibolito:
Glad it worked! I don't know what to say about microG because when I used Lineage I flashed the Gapps they provide
[ASUS ZenFone 8] KKF32:
After a nice little adventure into RAMDUMP and bootlooping bootloader :eek: I managed to get back to original ASUS 30.11.51.115 (thanks to flashall_AFT) which means Android 11

Betaservers are offline , so which is the best way (means safe one) to get manually to Version WW-31.1010.0410.61 - Android 12 ? (so that I can finally flash LOS)

Using TWPR or boot a LOS recovery and sideload the Version WW-31.1010.0410.61 ?

:unsure:

or using the WW-ZS590KS-31.0803.0403.54-user_20210831-release.zip (beta 12) and flashall_AFT respectively the update_image.bat file ?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] bnsmb:
If the issue is still not resolved:

To install an Android 12 based Custom ROM on the ASUS Zenfone 8 do:

- Download the raw image for Android 12 for the ASUS Zenfone 8 from here:

https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/...KS-31.1010.0410.61-MR0-2204-user-20220422.zip

and unpack the ZIP file in an empty folder.

- attach the phone to the PC via USB and boot the phone into the bootloader

- change the working directory to the directory with the unzipped ZIP file and execute update_image.sh if on Linux (or the Windows script if running Windows)

Wait until the script is done and the phone is rebooted.

The phone is now running the original Android 12 from ASUS.

Now you can install LineageOS 19.x using the instructions from the LineageOS WIki .

As far as I know you can not install LIneageOS 19.x using the current version of TWRP and in my experience it was mandatory to first install the raw image of the original Android 12 before the installation of an Android 12 based custom ROM (except the the first version of AsopExtened 9.x for the ASUS Zenfone 8) worked without ramdump error.

BTW:

These raw images saved my phone now for more then one time -- thanks ASUS; well done.

[ASUS ZenFone 8] nasch007:
Hey all,

Sorry to necro a dead thread but you all seem very knowledgeable and I'm sort of in this process at the moment so I have a couple of questions if you will.

I'm stuck in a bootloop. It's not ramdump; I have access to bootloader and fastbootd and can run basic commands (getvar, etc), HOWEVER... this computer has never had its RSA keys authorized. So, I'm not able to plug in and say "yes" to authorize and I can't fastboot boot twrp.img or anything like that.

So my question is: is this procedure viable still? Do I have to be authorized for the flashall_AFT.cmd to work (since I assume it's using fastboot somehow)?

2nd, is there any way, any way at all, to not flash "all", but to only update the OS itself (leaving user data intact)? I don't mind editing some code in the cmd or even using a different program(s). I see a few lines in the .cmd that vie me hope

:: ================= erase: userdata ====================
if "%ERASE_DATA_CACHE%" equ "1" (
%FASTBOOT% -w
%FASTBOOT% erase asuskey
) else (
echo "don't erase userdate"
)
:: ==================== reset active ====================

But I'm pretty far over my skis here. It's imperative that I keep my data as there are some really important backup codes (ironic?) that I wasn't able to save before my phone crashed.

Any help is appreciated!

Hello,

I was updating my pixel ROM version from the "Phone Setting". After getting all backup and downloaded updates, I've got an approach to auto-update on recovery mode. Where I have installed the TWRP on my phone recovery. After installing the update, it has been stuck in the TWRP logo.

When I tried for the fastboot access with the USB cable in the platform tool directory command, then I got that I'm not able to flash with the ADB. Because, at a previous time, I turned off the USB debugging from the developer settings.

I'm stuck in this moment now. Can anyone help me to recover this?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Stock updates via OTA update cannot be applied to devices that have TWRP installed because the OTA update requires being able to boot into stock recovery to apply the update. That is why your device is stuck at the TWRP logo, because your device needs to boot into stock recovery so it can finish applying the update but you have TWRP instead of the stock recovery that it is looking for and trying to boot into.

If you can't get USB debugging enabled, there is nothing you can do.
