Asus Zenfone 2 Bricked! Bootloader don't load! - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have ASUS Zenfone 2 and I bricked mine by updating while rooted and go stuck in fastboot. I tried and download everything but sadly I can go only in fastboot , then when i press recovery it reboot but it was still in the robot. I pressed power button and vol up but it doesn't change anything. It was always blinking the robot thingy with a red triangle like it was still broken. Help me please. I don't know what to do.

Fastboot is the bootloader, read the thread about changing from CN to WW, there you find the link to pre rooted Rom, download the proper Rom and flash according to instructions included.

Hey guys, just received my phone today and I cannot get pass through this erro msg...
Tried pretty much everything and still getting the msg, already wiped the system, tried the recovery mode, nothing works... problem is, I cant access the celphone memory since its internal :\ is my phone dead?
What error message? Did you unlock the bootloader? Are you rooted and do you have custom recovery? Need to know how you got to where you are now, step by step.

I rooted my devide and then I tried instal the slim via TEMPORARY CWM which I think was my mistake all the way...
After I installed the slim rom the device gave me the option to restart which I accept and from that point I got the error msg with the android laying down and the "Erro!" msg...
Cannot get pass from that point, tried everything and I'm start to geting worried.... I cannot even access the sd card from another device since there is no sd card :|
sorry about my bad english...
Edit: I managed to enter in the recovery mode, already tried the wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition and nothing seem to work... still receiving the erro msg... I'm out of option man, I'm kinda new to this root/rom stuff and I think I got screwed in my first attempt :\
Edit 2: there is a ADB option, apply update from ADB, is there anything I can do with this option? I already dowloaded I stock version from the android...
You have 2 options, 1. Sideload from stock recovery the full zip of stock Rom or 2. flash via bootloader, w/adb sideload make sure you are on (adb 1.0.32) or it won't flash, if you choose bootloader option refer to the flash WW from CN tutorial located here in xda or search in chinaphonearena for shakalaka tutorial

[NO OS] OS has been deleted and ADB Sideload Not Working (Z00A)

I ordered a phone and received it today and found that the OS is gone and I wasn't able to install a new one through adb sideload. The only menus I can access are the Boot Menu and the Recovery menu built into the phone.
My device is not being recognized through 'adb' at all and only fastboot commands are available.
Any help? I can explain more if you'd like, I'm still counting the problems I have with this phone currently.
Use fastboot to load a pre-rooted rom.
Where did you buy this phone? Look in the thread for flashing from CN to WW and using the prerooted roms by shakalaca

Recovery mode never shows up even after it's selected and restarts

I was attempting to install a custom rom and now I can't even get into recovery mode. The option comes up after entering the bootloader but then it just reboots to the bootloader screen. If I pick normal boot it does the exact same thing. Any help much appreciated.
Can you flash from the bootloader? First thing to try is clear cache, be patient it's a slow process, if that works then flash a pre-rooted rom, you can find the in the thread to flash ww from cn. That should get you running again

I can't get to the standard recovery to clear the cache or to flash a prerooted rom. It seems I can talk to the device with my pc using fastboot but not adb. I did clear the cache by running the command "astboot format cache" but it didn't seem to help.
Thanks
did you run the offical Bootloader Unlock from asus? if so u will need to wait for a fix.

no I have not run that. I think I need to reflash the original img files using fastboot does that sound right?
The reason I had you run clear cache was to make sure fastball commands works, you need to flash new rom from fastboot, look at the thread to flash WW from Cn it will give everyone you precise instructions and d/l locations for the images to flash and fastboot commands I would post the link but can't copy it from this app, sorry, but the thread is titled flashing from CN to WW

Is my phone bricked? Please help.

Okay, so I'm another person who OTA updated their rooted Zenfone 2.
ADB won't detect the phone. I've tried different ADB installations on three different computers. I've tried updated the drivers and everything. I've tried different USB cables.
My phone unfortunately has the stock Android recovery utility. There doesn't seem to be an option to install a rom from SD.
I've accepted that the phone is bricked. But I thought I would make one last effort on here before I go and buy another phone. Is there anything else I can do?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

Bricked Redmi 1s

I've had my redmi for a while now, and about a year ago I bricked it, although I do not remember exactly how I did it. It boots in TWRP but doesn't do anything more.
Is there a way to factory reset it with some kind of aplication? For my Alcatel Idol 3 there's a application for pc to reset everything. It takes care of downloading and flashing everything.
Is there such a thing for Xiaomi?

The guide for flashing this ROM is when the phone is working. I'll try with the MiSuite and with Miflash. I'll get back to you guys as soon as I try this.
thanks
When I flash with MiFlash it says Unspecified error(0x80004005: FAILED (remote: failed to erase partition)
Have you tried to dual boot Redmi 1S?
I don't understand, am i missing something here ?
If the device boots into TWRP, then whats stopping your from Wiping it and flashing a new ROM on it ?
It won't boot into twrp anymore.. I want it stock..
What exactly did you do that made it not boot into twrp

I tried repartitioning and it failed. I think its completely bricked now.
Maybe. Is it able to go into bootloop or fastboot?

I can boot into fastboot.

Do I have a hardware problem? I have a bootloop problem. as soon as i insert the battery the fastboot logo appears and bootloop starts. If I keeps only vol+ pressed, recovery appears but then it boot loops. At max i get 10 sec of time to do anything. same happens when connected to PC or charger. I can change recovery via fast boot as it takes less then 10 sec. MI suite too works but the phone disconnects after 10 sec. Also tried dismantling and reassembling thinking of a stuck power or vol- button. Help needed
You are saying that recovery turns into bootloop happens even when you have used twrp, if you havent tried twrp yet , please do, you can flash twrp via fastboot and then flash miui from an external sd card
Sent from my HM 1SW using Tapatalk
thanks. but I have tried twrp3 and latest philztouch as well. after going into recovery i cannot do anything as phone reboots within seconds.
You could always try customer service, if they cant fix it they will replace it if is in warranty period

Make sure to flash stock recovery before you give it to customer service, or they will state your warranty as void
Sent from my HM 1SW using Tapatalk
its two years old. out of warranty. Also i cant find fastboot flashable stock recovery.
What are my best options?
