Recovery Mod & Bootloop problem - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello dear geeks
I hope you've have a good days , Summer is close and blab blab blab :cyclops:
I have a f***ing bad a$$ problem with my Zenfone 2 (Chinese model with Z3560 & 4GB RAM) ,
I can't go to recovery mod correctly. Let me explain how i doing this.
First of all I'll turn off phone , then Press Power button + Volume up. Until phone vibrates I'll release Power button.
So Now I will see black screen with with a sleeping android garbage with a open door I see some text like:
- FASTBOOT MOD (red)
- PRODUCT_NAME - Z001
- VARIANT - ASUS_Z00A
- BOOTLOADER VERSION - unkown
- IFWI VERSION - 009.0173
- SERIAL NUMBER - F4AZFG00H34
- SIGING - ?
- SECURE_BOOT - ?
- FASTBOOT CMD WATING... (blue)
With Volume down I can change the option between "NORMAL BOOT" - "POWER OFF" - "RECOVERY MODE" - "RESTART BOOTLOADER"
So I choose f***ing - RECOVERY MODE - with power button , then phone will be reboot and I saw an another android garbage dead but at this time It's give me " Error !" .
So ! How I can change my ROM to pre-root? :silly::silly::silly:

Already Read it.
But I got "error !" when I choose recovery mod. !

Wait 30 seconds or so after error and every few seconds press power or VolUp or VolDown. Eventually should bring you to recovery.
Anyway, you don't need to change ROM in recovery. Do it in fastboot.

Arrived at the dead android.. You have to keep pressed power button and tap 1 time Volume up

Follow guide in my sig.

Yep, Recovery mode is a real sh!t to get to if you don't know how....

URGENT!
URGENT!!! Suddenly my Zenfone 2 went to the boot screen and has been loading now for three days. After searching I found out that it was a bootloop, but the problem is that any fix that is suggested everywhere is useless for my case because my PC doesn't recognize the Zenfone. When I plug it to the computer via USB cable and then displays the message that the driver wasn't downloaded successfully.After this message I can't follow any guide of how to fix the boot loop, because when I type the "adb devices" command on CMD, it doesn't displays any device. I am really trying to save the photos in the phone but I can't do anything unless it is connected to the PC. I am considering doing a Factory reset but I am afraid of to things: all of my photo are going to be erased and I am not sure if the hard reset will work for my case. I have downloaded some photo recovery apps but all of them ask me to root the phone to get the photos. Can anyone help me cause I am in a very bad tech situation?

My phone is normally working except that I cannot go to recovery mode. I can't update my phone or install Custom ROM because it can't enter into recovery mode.
I've tried flashing stock recovery and twrp recovery but still there's an error "target reported max download size 536870912 bytes"
when i boot into reocvery mode, the screen just returns to bootloader mode. i have tried several sites but nobody can offer solution. I can still use my phone normally though. I only can't enter the recovery mode

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist.
Please wait while I connect you to the appropriate forum (below) where your device experts can be found:
> Asus ZenFone 2 > ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
For what it's worth, I think your stock recovery is still functional even with the flashing exclamation point. All you will need to do is download a full version of the stock ROM, rename it to MOFDSDUPDATE.zip, place on an SD card and boot the phone into recovery.
Hope this helps, and good luck!

OTA Update Elephone P8000 stucks at Boot Logo

Hi there,
I just updated P8000 via OTA update and after downloading the Update, the phone restarted and stops at the elephone boot Logo (about 30 min )!!
I did 5 Restarts but every time it hangs at the boot logo...
In the past i did no other updates or flashing ROMS.. nothing!
When i press "Volume Up" and "Power" to Start, i get three Options:
Recovery Mode
Fastboot Mode
Normal Boot
Using Recovery Mode leads to: Symbol Android Robot with "No Order" (in german : "Kein Befehl")
Using Fastboot Mode leads to: Nothing (Recovery Menue stays)
Using Normal Boot leads to: restart and hanging at Elephone Boot Logo
So, I am running out of Options... any ideas?
Cheers, Albert

The Hardware of P8000 is pretty cool, but the Software is "§$§"%§""!$%
When you go to recovery mode and get the the android robot symbol. Press again Vol up + Power until you enter to recovery. Make a 3 wipe (data factory , cache and dalvink). Reboot and uninstall the El loader. Use another Loader instead of El Loader
i had the same problem. (in English NO COMMAND) I only flash Eragon ROM again. Sometimes you have to repeate.

After that everything goes according to instructions

Hi there, sorry for the revival !
But i got the same problem: OTA update, fail, P8000 blocked on boot screen.
I tried wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache -> nothing changed, still boot screen blocked...
Then, i tried to use flash tool, but, the phone isn't booting, so my pc isn't recognizing the phone..
I'm not even sure that I correctly installed the drivers..
Can i use flash tool even if the phone is blocked to boot screen?
I downloaded this ROM: stock-rom-elephone-p8000-20150907-android-5-1 (this is my first post i can't post URL..)
Because i got some issues with my phone and support told me to try it.
But when i follow the tutorial, launching "donwload" and connecting the phone, nothing happening..
The phone turn on, and display recharging logo, and flash tool still wainting.
Recovery mode -> "No command", Volume up + power is working, i used it to wipe datas
But at the moment, i'm still blocked, since 2 days, i dont know what to do
Can someone help me?
Thank you by advance, i hope my english isn't so bad

Yes you can use SPFlash tool evenif the phone stucks in the boot screen. Simply switch the phone off, start SPFlash tool and then connect the phone to usb.
If you follow the instructions from elephone, then your phone should working again: http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-1037-1-1.html#.VofQ13wvdpo
Cheers
Hi, and thx for the help.
The driver is correctly installed now, i had to allow unsigned drivers in windows parameters.
So, i followed the tutorial, again.
I configured SP flash tool, clicked download, and then connected powered off P8000 with USB.
But, again, the phone displays recharging logo, and flash tool still waiting...
The phone is recharging so the USB is working, so i don't know how to make my PC detect the phone......
Is there a way or a thing that i missed?
thank you..
EDIT: i finally got a timeout error from flashtool..
I missed something, but what !? i can't remove P8000 battery, is there somthing to do to get it detected by windows?
Like a boot mode, or a magic formula... i'm open
For MTK Driver installation:
Did you follow skeletons Guide? http://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p8000/help/guide-windows-10-mtk-vcom-usb-drivers-t3264884
I'm sorry to say, that I do not have any experience with windows installation, this problem, because SPFlash tool performes on my 64bit Linux very well, without any driver trouble.
Cheers
Hi,
I'm on windows 8.
I used SP_driver_v2.0, that is an .exe
it's the only driver tips gived in most of tutorial
I allowed unsigned drivers installation, and i correctly installed it.
I tried too use flashtool before and after restarting the PC-> no changes
Flashtool doesnt detect the phone
I start getting crazy..
I have repaired mine, so i'll share

So the simple way to solve it is flashing the latest stock elephone p8000 ROM, which you can find on google easly
1. as described on other forums, you have to install the adnroid drivers, then get the sp flash tool, and have an un-zipped stock elephone p8000 ROM.
2. if you are stuck at bootloop, do the following to power off the phone so you can flash the ROM
1. Long press power button until power off
2.Do it fast--Press volume Up and then hold power button
3. choose recovery (volume up choose menu, volume down enter)
4. android logo with red triangle is displayed( "no command")
5. hold power button and press volume up
You're in recovery mode
3. select power off
4. open the SP flash tool >go to download tab>opne "scatter loading"( you will find it in the Folder where you unzipped the stock elephone p8000 ROM, if you have more folders there, chose "firmware" folder)
5. on the left side, under scatter loading, you will find a "pull-down" tab - it will be written "download" chose "firmware upgrade" or "upgrade"
6. start the process, then connect your elephone p8000 (it must be powere off) via usb cable to the PC, the process will start,and in less then 5 Minutes you have a factory new Elephone p8000 with the latest good update
7. WATCH OUT- it will erase all your data, absolutely all your data on the phone, except SIM and SD card.
Hope it helped, if not, feel free to ask me =)
Hello,
I have similar problem. Bought P8000 5 days ago. Did update today. Bricked. Stuck at logo ... I tried to flash but SP flush tool but the process isn't starting. When I downloaded ROM I received long list as on the screenshot: kaczorowscy.name/Screenshot.png
I have ubuntu - I see lsusb and dmesg see the phone (it is shut down from recovery menu) but maybe I am missing something ....
Ok here is what id did:
1. Get SP flashtool
2. get newest stock ROM
3. Shut down phone through android recovery menu (start phone with holding volume up, select recovery mode, wait for dead android, hold volume up and unblock button for 3 sec.)
4. Open SP flashtool - use "format all + download" of ROM (unzip and select scatter file from rom) - click start
5. Connect shut downed phone
6. Dot OK! from flashtool
PS. Flashing removed IMEIs - they are both written on the battery - you need to use android service menu to check them with special codes and reboot the phone.
Thanks ALL! :good:

When I was trying to root my p8000 I couldn't flash a custom recovery, fortunately I discovered that to access recovery on stock android you need to go to the screen with the android and "no command"/"no order" text and hold down Vol+Up and Power for 3~ seconds and then release power, this will boot you into recovery mode, If wiping cache/factory reset isn't enough "fastboot flash recovery <image>.img" SHOULD work now
hope this helped

[UPDATED] Recover from Hard Brick and QFIL guide through bootloader.

This guide is to recover the Zuk Z2 (plus) from hard brick state
So you might be stuck here -
Phone is not turning on
Phone Reboot and screen go black with notification light on and you are unable to switch it off.
How To-
1. How to switch it off
- First this is happening because you have locked you're bootloader
- You have black screen and led on so just hold power button then Zuk logo will be flash after that you will get black screen again and the phone is preparing to reboot but before that the led will get turn off immediately release power button.
(It's crucial timing but when rebooting your device vibrates so it's the time when phone is about to start vibrate while LED is off just leave power button)
- You have it Your phone is switched off
(Tip- Let it reboot once after that don't leave the power button and after that led will get off you have to remove finger from power button this is tricky )
2. Going to Bootloader
-First connect the USB to laptop
-After you have switched off your phone press volume up and down together and with holding buttons connect the phone to USB and you will see the fastboot mode.
3. Unlock your phone
-Remember the unlock bootloader file in your email re download it and unlock your bootloader again
- Don't reboot right away as you don't have any OS installed Even if it boot it might give problem.
- after unlocking phone you will see phone rebooted press power button reboot press volume the volume button and go to reboot option
4. For Userdata
- I suggest you to flash recovery instead of using old installed one.
- go to fastboot and flash the TWRP.
- Boot into TWRP and you will see your data on internal storage is present so just sideload ROM or if you have in internal storage just flash
( Note- in case you are using TWRP 3.4 newer roms with factory based ROM will flashed without problem in case you are trying to flash old Oreo non-treble ROMs you need to wipe like you do for normal ROM installation and reboot to recovery then flash Oreo Non-treble ROM otherwise they will not boot even after flashing)
Or
- QFIL ZUI 4.0.199ST as this QPST
- When selecting the XML file select retain userdata one so it won't erase your userdata partitions
5. In case you want to flash ZUI
- Load files in QFIL
- To reboot phone into EDL from Fastboot mode type following command
Code:
fastboot -i0x2b4c oem reboot-edl
- It will get detected in QFIL just hit Download.

I've seen quite a lot of threads of booting it to edl and deep flashing is not a choice I'm willing to take . I'd appreciate it if you are able to help me
thanks

Looks like u messed up during unlocking the bootloader.. Try flashing the stock ROM by QPST method... then again try to unlock the bootloader from the guide available at XDA ... For flashing via QPST... go to this link
https://zukfans.eu/community/threads/indian-z2-plus-qpst-official-firmware-zui_2-0-093_st.587/
and there is a guide too for QPST flashing on XDA ... All the best
view the video in the OP please
that is my actual scenario,
my device is only being detected as a CD/DVD that too after installing Zuk USB drivers.
I am unnable to switch it off if it has any battery left..
it will only switch off at 0% battery..
and the options on screen are not working
EDIT : I got to know i'm stuck in "all auto test mode"
Even telling me the key combinations to reboot into normal or some other mode is appreciated.

Updated out of the box device to latest android.
Tried to unlock the bootloader by adb method.
typed
"adb reboot bootloader
fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash unlock unlock_bootloader.img"
and then the command screen showed " [waiting for the device] "
As i was waiting i scrolled through the options by volume keys.. they are like "Restart" "boot to recovery".......
Accidentally pressed power key when it showed something like "Boot to ffb" or "Boot to fbb"
now struck in a screen which has some options like..
"1 SYSTEM INFO
2 KEYPAD BLACKLIGHT
3 LCD BACKLIGHT
4 LED RED

[HELP] OnePlus 3 bricked ?

Hello,
I own a OnePlus 3, running stock firmware (up to date). I never tinkered much with it*: it has never been rooted and the bootloader stayed locked.
Yesterday I have been welcomed by a white on black text saying “The dm-verity is not started in enforcing mode and may not work properly – your device will boot in 5 seconds”. Letting it continue the boot sequence shows the 1+ logo and then the phone becomes unresponsive with a totally black screen (pink notification led on though).
Pressing volume key on the dm-verity message reveal more options : Power off, Restart, Recovery, Fastboot, Back to previous page.
Recovery seems to restart the phone and bring me back to the dm-verity message.
Fastboot options (Start, Restart bootloader, Recovery mode) do nothing or bring me back to the dm-verity screen too.
What I have tried so far :
- Booting it with power button+vol up or power + volume dows ;
- Testing that is is seen by the fastboot command from my laptop (it is) ;
- Opening the phone and disconnecting the battery for several minutes and reconnecting the battery (does nothing).
Did I missed something ? Is there a way to have it working again and back-up my data ?
Any help greatly appreciated !

It might be a hardware issue since you did not meddle with it. If so, you will have to go to the service center.
Before that, it is worth trying out the various Unbrick Tools available in the OP 3 forum. Search for them and try a few. Sometimes it requires repeated attempts before the phone responds. I know because i have gone through the unbrick procedure earlier. Please note that the tool is different for 3 & 3T.
Best of luck!
EDIT:
Before attempting anything, backup your data to the PC with adb commands (as it is working now, according to you). It is possible and search for it.

Thanks for your feedback TNSMANI, I’ll give those unbrick tool a try. As for adb it’s not working unfortunately… but that was expected given I never bothered activating USB debugging. Fastbook commands do work but I can’t do much with them regarding data recovery.
