Hi, my phone stuck on asus logo.
I can get to cmw tempairy recovery, ithink
When. Install the firmware from asus site, its says cant verify
Failed to verify whole file signature.what shuld i do pleaae?
Okay, not enough information, since you are using cwm temporary I am guessing you have not unlocked your boot loader which will cause the fail, can you get into the bootloader?
If you can follow the instructions and download the current rooted Rom and follow instructions to flash the stock rom

You can't flash asus firmware with cwm.
You can unbrick with adb sideload.
See THIS GUIDE how to sideload
I am done here, if you choose to follow advice to try using temp cwm to fix your phone I am sure you fail, your best solution is to use bootloader to flash, everything you need is in this thread, if you choose not to do the proper research before you start flashing things without doing the proper research before then you are beyond help here.

it says in device manager " asus android bootloader interference"
and in the phone its says normal boot and there is icon of open android/
and it written in blue "continue the fast boot process
try "fastboot devices"
if it answers than try flashing twrp or stock recovery
command to flash recovery "fastboot flash recovery filename.img"
after that u can try to flash custom rom using twrp or stock rom via twrp or stock firmware using adb sideload
I manage to make it work and install cm 13 the latest nightly.but when I make a call or receive one the phone reboots itself. What is the problem? Thanks
try factory resetting it

Hey guys. Im really new to this scene and i need some help.
now currently i have kitkat 4.4.2 and im trying to downgrade to 4.2 the latest stable version for huawei.
i have the update.app ready and its in dload folder already. but when i try to downgrade it says its in lock state or something....
when i try to root it says its failing....thats with vroot and eroot.
can someone please help me with this. i just want the latest stable firmware on it and enjoy google play after a year of hell.
hm..
eroot and vroot are sometimes not proper working..
twrp 2700 and 2800 are the best way to get root (98% sure)..
first of all you need to get all the device drivers on your pc (notnonly the hisuite drivers..search for lesscro on this forum..there you should find drivers concerning huawei)..
then you need adb&fastboot (different packages and names..searchengines should find it )..
then use the search for how to flash twrp..and when you are searching, the next search should be how to downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.2.x
i think this helps you the best..
Hey so i was able to root it with root genius. now whats the next step? sorry if im annoying but i want to make ABSOLUTELY SURE i dont screw this up.
alright so i got twrp in and its been flashed. now the only thing is to downgrade my phone from 4.4.2 to 4.2
ok i cant seem to update the UPDATE.APP. i have it both on my sd card and my phone.
my recovery is back to stock and it fails on VERLIST.
I need help.
CRAP
ok im freakin out now....its hanging at the huawei ascend logo. help.
tried to reloaD boot.img now and it says partition does not exist
Before you go and do anything now, flash stock 4.4 recovery and boot img, after that search the forum for link of a middle step for downgrading to 4.2 and flash that thruogh stock recovery then try to install stock JB.
Sent from my P6-U06 using xda app-developers app
thanks....
but i still cant mount system and data. where can i get the 4.4 stock? sorry i went through hell today....i dont want any "bad" files...
i fixed the system/data errors. it was wipe > advanced wipe > JUST CLICK system. after that i went to format all data and it removed those errors...
but when i try to install the stock firmware(from huawei) for 4.2 it still says failed
"Error flashing zip '/external_sd/dload/firm.zip"
Updating partition details...Failed
REALLY need an answer here.....
last post for the night....
when i try to fastboot -w update my rom i get the 2 files missing android-info.txt and android-product.txt.
hopefully i get a few responses when i wake up.
Ok since you can actually boot into recovery is a good sign so try to wipe/reset anything you can from there and then try to flash some firmware, if that doesnt go try to flash a custom recovery like twrp and install a custom rom, that would give an idea where is the problem maybe and from there its easier to get back

you are on twrp or stock recovery? it's not a problem if you don't have os installed.
currently i have twrp on.
would it help a great deal if i just made a video of it?
Recently, I tried to install a custom ROM of Android L (beta), which bricked my device (Canvas A1).
My device Neither boots nor able to go to recovery mode or fastboot.
Pressing power button or Power+Volume Up isn't booting anything.
My bootloader is actually unlocked.
So I tried to flash stock ROM using SP Flashing Tool and it downloaded successsfully.
But still not booting.
Is there any other way to unbrick it rather than going to Micromax Service Center??
Thanks in Advance
Problem solved!
Actually, I had used an old version of SP Tools which didn't support MTK6582 scatter configs.
Then v.5.1424 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/canvas-a1/development/official-stock-rom-canvas-a1-t2887150 helped me out and I successfully downloaded the stock ROM in meta-mode.
For users who encounter the problem:
First, Install VCOM drivers for MTK devices..
Then install Android CDC Gadget Drivers.
Download the KitKat stock ROM.. (See instructions there)
Use SP Flash Tools v5.1424 from there to download it.
Use both 'download' and 'firmware upgrade' modes to flash.
Other issues after flashing:
Also fixed IMEI issues using http://en.miui.com/thread-10061-1-1.html (Needs unlocked bootloader again)
Fixed Wi-fi error using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730486 (Needs root access)
Rooted KitKait using TWRP recovery and installed SuperSu 2.40 without bootloader unlock (doesnot void warranty if warranty present)

I rooted my Zenfone 2 and unlocked the bootloader (not in that order) and went to flash a custom ROM onto it but when I wiped my OS I realized that I missed a step and forgot to load a new ROM on the sd card. Now I have no OS and when I tried to flash stock ROM to it via ADB sideload it just boots to fast boot mode and when I try to go to recovery, it just reboots to fast boot mode. I hope there it's something that can be done.

Had a bit of a roller coaster ride over the past 12 hours trying to flash lineageos onto my phone. Let me try to give an idea of what has happened so you guys know what's up:
To start off:
I downloaded the unlock apk from the asus website and ran it last night
Afterwards, I loaded into fastboot and installed twrp
I made a backup using twrp and then I wiped the internal storage
Tried to flash the lineageos rom and got error 7
I thought I would restart the phone and try again. Not being able to get back into bootloader I thought I bricked my phone. It was late night so I decided to sleep and come back to it.
Woke up this morning and got into bootloader (I assume I was just pressing the buttons incorrectly)
Restored my backup and used my phone for a bit
After googling, found that I needed to modify some files in the lineageos zip to fix the errror 7. Proceeded to do so by wiping again and flashing the modified rom along with gapps.
Got into bootloop. So I turned the phone off and booted into boot loader hoping to get into twrp again, and try once more. Now, when I select recovery mode, it doesnt work and puts me back to bootloader.
So this is where I am now. And I've tried a couple of things, that may or may not have messed this phone up.
First off I've tried to, reinstall twrp.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vM0ODzSb1y4 ( wrong link )
https://youtu.be/BJPEc1NG_k8
Using this link I ran the file that he has given while in bootloader. Nothing changed. So I also tried to just download the latest twrp and flash that. Resulting with the same situation as before.
With a little more google I figured I would flash some stock images.
http://www.android.gs/how-to-unbrick-asus-zenfone-2-and-go-back-to-stock-android-os/
With this website. I went and downloaded firmware from asus website. Extracted it and went about flashing each item. That is when I realized that the file doesnt contain a system.img. ****.
At this point I also had a system.img from:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/enter-recovery-551ml-z00a-t3345633/page2
And I just proceeded to try and flash that in replacement for what I did not have. But I got an error:
http://imgur.com/a/TldyG
Now from what I see here. It wiped it without adding anything. So now I'm a little scared.
I found this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5BNfaU_O9o
With links to various files. Now I'm not sure if I can just download one and flash each file like before.
TL;DR: I've tried to flash lineageos. It put me into bootloop. I can't get back into recovery. I tried to flash some img files I found and I messed up (check imgur link above). Not sure where to go from here.
Thanks for any help guys.

What were you on before you started? Usually the error 7 is because you weren't on the right bootloader. In this case you need the MM bootloader. If you were coming from Lollipop that would explain it.

My bad I should have also included the model number in the post, I'm using the ZE551ML. Yeah, I believe I was on 5.0 when I started. If I hadn't all of this would have been solved? I'm so sad.
MM bootloader? (Sorry, I'm a newbie at this) So where would I go from here? Finding the MM bootloader and installing it with fastboot as well as trying to get twrp working again?
Thanks for the quick reply.

When trying to install the asus flash tool, it tells me that it failed to install drivers and that I should do them manually. Is that necessary?
I really do appreciate the help. Thanks so much.

It sounds from your first post that the drivers should already be installed. Fastboot commands worked for you before right?

Thank you. Thank you. I am downloading the raw right now. Will update when I use the flash tool and try the modder.
For the modder it looks like I will:
-unlock bootloader
-install twrp
-root
and there is an option of installing xposed. Seems like it gives you more versatility when flashing roms. Do you think it is stable and has enough support to be used with the zenfone? Are updates done automatically and does the framework stay when updating/flashing roms?

And download the 4.21.40.184 raw image and the asus flash tool. (Google how to use it) use the tool to flash the raw image. That will give you stock marshmallow. Then go get the modder tool from

Use that to unlock and install TWRP.
Then you should be good to go to flash LinOS

Getting an error now running the asus flash tool. Any idea? http://imgur.com/a/gOqf2
Also, is it safe to turn the device off? After flashing the imgs I'm scared to turn it off. If I accidentally boot into os will the phone break?
If you plan on installing LinOS. You don't need to root first. (you can if you want, but it would be a waste of time). Xposed is great but I don't think it works with LinOS yet. (at least that was the case when I was on that rom) LinOS does have weekly Ota updates. Just need to have twrp 3.0.3 or higher for the update process to work

Do you have the phone in bootloader (fastboot mode)?

Make sure you have turned on adb mode in your phone and you have authorized the computer for accessing adb and fast boot.
Or may be you didn't go to fastboot mode of your phone.
You need to press and hold volume up+power button until your phone reboots. Then only you can access fastboot.
I have unlocked the bootloader,then I activated debug mode. i press and hold volume up+power button and i entered in fastboot mode.
. i installed adb driver and program. I opened cmd and I wrote :
cd..
cd adb
adb devices
fastboot flash recovery (name recovery).img
when the writing appears "waiting for devices" does not continue with installation
resolved... my usb don't work good. i used other pc

For that you now need to use zenfone flash tool coz you didnt make a back up of your recovery.
For that you needed to first use this cmd.
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
This would run twrp temporarily and you could make a backup of your stock recovery. Then to permanently install stock recovery you needed to do the same you did.
Now, except using zenfone flash tool you can only ask a friend if he can give u the stock recovery if he has unlocked bootloader and didnt install twrp..

Actually I am not willing to unlock my phone's bootloader right now. So I cant give it to you. But you can get it by flashing your phone with stock rom...the very first one and flash it using zenfone flash tool.

If you want to flash the stock rom I suggest you do it with adb sideload because I noticed that if you flash with stock recovery with "upgrade from sd card" ,when the phone is rebooted it is very slow.
This is the link with stock recovery:

The flash tool will flash the stock rom and in turn will bring back stock recovery.

I flashed before stock recovery with adb and then flashed the rom
