looks like you have a soft-brick.
Download a Official-Rom, move the Update into the DLOAD-Folder,
go into the original Recovery and let it flash the file.
After this your phone should be starting normally.

I use ROOT WIZARD method....

This happened to me yesterday as well, I was about to restore apps using TB but the phone frooze and then anything made it boot. I don't know how Exactly I solved it but all I did was:
1.- Flash TWRP v3.01
2.- Wipe all the phone, including system, data, cust and internal sd
3.- From within TWRP flashed STock boot and recovery for 118CN FW.
4.- Placed 118CN UPDATE.APP in external sd/dload
5.- from within TWRP still, rebooted the phone to recovery.
6.- The phone started to flash the update from external SD.
7.- It succeded to flash files but couldn't mount /sdcard so I repeated steps above once more
8.- from stock recovery wipe/factory reset
9.- Tried the update again and voila! Phone succeded and booted just fine... Now it's been running with no issues since 2 days
I was running 118CN FW and a test kernel with some "non tested" or unstable features which I think forced the phone to frooze and then the data corruption...

how did you manage to flash the stock boot.img and recovery inside twrp???

huawei
hi thanks how do you flash with trwp? cause i am not that expert please cant use my phone
thanks

You must do it through adb.

ahhhh..
sry
but i can't even install a rom by using the adb sideload command..it fails because of "file_getprop: failed to stat "/system/build.prop": No such file or directory"
what can i do now?
tried to reload the B510..
should i try with a custom ROM?

Flash through adb stock recovery. Extract your sdcard, create on it dload folder using your PC/Laptop. In dload folder put the update.app of the ROM you want and insert back in the device the sdcard. Press volume up + volume down + power button until the HUAWEI logo appears, after that release all the buttons and the phone will start to update the firmware.

Thanks beyond..
Got it finally again..
But it was very tricky..
Had to usw the b507 by reyncla (thanks for sharing)..
I let this for now in my phone..
I tried the Method you mentioned..but i could not reach the phone by ADB directly (in twrp via ADB sideload it worked finally)..
Thanks for answering..maybe i switch sometime back to the b510 or to the official release (when it comes)..

What is your recovery ? If you have TWRP plug your phone to usb them connect your phone has a fisical storage to computer.
Search "dload" folder and replace it with another d.load file.
Restart the phone to TWRP and the dload maybe start work again I think, try it
If not
You need to use adb fastboot to install "TWRP recovery", then restart in adb mode to recovery.
Hope it help.

Can you enter fstboot mode and connect it with the pc while in fb mode? When its powered off, press power button and hold volume down button. If it works ok it should be stuck on huawei ascend logo, that means that you are in fastboot mode. If you can do it them you can try to wipe all and reinstall recovery and boot files from the update then try to flash a system.

Twrp bootloop

Hello,
i just unlocked bootloader and installed twrp and it all went fine..
until i wanted to fully wipe my device, i did this via twrp.
after 20Minuts, nothing happend, the bar was still white and gray (not even a little bit blue)
and it kept stuck on ''twrp formatting data using make_ext4fs function''.
i knew this wasn't a good idea, but i decided to turn off my phone,
and now, everytime when i turn it on on the normal way it just redirrects me to TeamWin in a bootloop.
even if i want to go to recovery mode i keep stuck in that bootloop, so there is nothing i can do right now, i only can stick at Fastboot Mode but nothing else,
Is there any way to fix this problem?
Using ASUS ZENFONE 2 551ML

I hope you did a backup of your system before? Otherwise just download the latest full image:
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE551ML/UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.174-user.zip
place it on your internal sdcard (via adb push) and then flash it normally with TWRP. Please note that the procedure can take up to 30 minutes, where the formatting is the procedure taking the longest time...

please give me some proper step by step instructions, i would really apreciate that!
thanks anyway your awesome!

Man, I misread your post, sorry...I thought you could boot only into twrp
If you still have fastboot, why not flashing twrp 2.8.x.x?
Code:
Fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Fastboot reboot recovery
Otherwise you could flash stock system with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-brick-soft-hard-bricked-zenfone-2-t3284256
It's a lot to read

wow, that is something really helpfull, there is still hope to revive my phone
i'll let you know how it turnt out xd
thanks alot!!

i fixed recovery mode, so thats already one step further. Oefff @TheSSJ thanks for the help.
But now i get some other problems, when i try to wipe my phone i get the error like ''unable to mount /data'' and ''unable to wipe dalvik''
and all other kinds of these errors, i get the same problem when i was installing rom. isn't there anything or a way to fully wipe all this **** so i can install a fresh rom.

i flashed custom rom and this is error log i get. its all full written down.

Seems you don't have a WW image installed, do you have a CN Software? Then you need another Software of course

what do you mean with ww & cn software?
sorry but im new in this.. but im really interested so can you please explain a little bit?
how can i get this other software! thanks!!!

Where did you buy your Phone? what does the packaging state? WW, CN, TW, etc? These 2 letters must be written in uppercase somewhere, then we will know which software to flash, there is a check where your phone's software is compared to the zip you are trying to flash:
assert failed: getprop ("ro.build.asus.sku") == ''WW''
Which TWRP did you flash?

ohhh yes, i do have CN software Probably, as it is buyed from china.
Where can i find this other type software?
thanks!

I think flashing will still fail though...but pls try first,maybe it'll work

i tryed it, i get the same error :/

Update: i changed from CN to WW.
Because of this i reflashed to twrp 3.0 and it works properly and now wiping shows no problem anymore.
I also got the WW ota zip but dont know how to install that.
Anyway, i tryed to install xaosp rom (even if my ota is still CN)
And it showed no problems at all!
BUT when i tryed to startup my phone it sticks with the asus logo and wont go any further, not a bootloop, it just sticks at the asus logo.
We are Always getting more and more steps further into fixing my phone, thanks for that @TheSSJ were almost there ?

You could try flashing cm13 first and then xosp:
First wipe data/cache
Then flash cm13
Boot up and hope that it works
Reboot to recovery
Wipe data/cache
Flash xosp and maybe a kernel that fits (FlareM?)
Boot to system again

Cannot boot

Hi.
I'm having problems with booting my phone. I unlocked my phone via Mi unlocker, put twrp on phone and via twrp Factory reset my phone.
Now it says '0 MB internal storage'
I tried to flash ROm via abd sideload, but it didnt work. It stuck on Mi logo. In twrp, when I want to make another factory reset, say 'Failed to mount /data (invalid argument)'
How can I make this phone work again?
Thanks..

You may be using twrp that's not compatible with oreo roms, I can't look for the link right now, just look around.

Try FORMAT DATA (not wipe) in TWRP, then reboot to recovery.

Use an oreo compatible twrp
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889964283620778448
If it still doesn't work, press wipe, Format data, and type yest to confirm. Then flash

Thanks guys!
Formating data and putting a new ROM worked!
Thanks again! Have a nice day.
