Hi there

i finally downloaded the firmware for the phone today took a while to figure out what one it was

let me give a few more details of the phone again

model ZC600KL

Chipset Qualcomm SDM630 Snapdragon 630 (14 nm

this is the details of the firmware i got Asus_Zenfone_5_Lite_ZC600KL_630_14.0400_1808.057_20180903_CMD

now within the firmware folder there is instructions and the driver when following the instructions firstly i would enter fastboot devices and the serial number will appear so all good then

the next instruction is flashall_AFT.cmd and this is what will appear

please make sure your device is under fastboot mode.

now i am totally lost haha i did also try looking at that Qualcomm flash tool and following some istructions it stated i needed to load in the flash software i believe to be an .mdm file but in the rom folder its different and plus it seems its rather compliated

any instructions on how to use the flash tool would be appreaicated

just to further note all i can do with the phone is enter fastboot mode again absolutely no recovery options or anything just fastboot appears
