Zenfone 2 bootloop - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, today I tried to install cm13 on my zenfone 2 (Z00AD), I tried to install the twrp recovery on both recovery and boot but I couldn't access the recovery (in the fastboot if I clicked on "normal boot" or "recovery mode" the phone just rebooted into the fastboot), the adb was still working so I tried to flash the droidboot.img, the boot.img and the recovery.img from an original asus rom, after that the phone started to bootloop, I can't even access the fastboot pressing power+volume_up, what can I do to unbrick my phone? Thanks in advance

If the phone is stuck in bootloader, you can use Asus Flash Tool to flash .raw files and unbrick the phone.
Raw files: https://yadi.sk/d/FijRoAVJtvRiG
AFT: https://yadi.sk/d/NQCiY--IsQjBr (I use AsusFlashToolInstaller1.0.0.14.exe).

sorry but i can't see a way out.have you bootloader unlocked? if you have bootloader locked you could use warranty.say to asus you just did an ota and then phone bricked.dont use the word brick say just it won't power on.approach is the key in this cases.approach to them like a total noob.call them,don't email them.if you are young,let someone older to talk,a relative or someone like this and give to him a text to follow.is difficult to think a noob thinks to do some difficult moves as root,unlocking bootloader....they think "this is a noob.he never thinked to root or modify phone" .so they can think your seller sold to you a rooted device (updating with root takes to brick,bootloop etc.) and so maybe they will give to you a new phone.if it not power on they cant see if it is rooted or not.for me it's your only option.you did a great mess.you flashed file in the wrong order right? not followed this order ?
fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img

How did they fixed it?? That's what we should find out. If they didn't replace the phone, then it means that there is a way!!

Can't enter recovery 551ml...Z00A

Hi
Problem is that I can't enter recovery. I am able to enter fastboot menu, but when I'm choosing recovery mode, phone like restarts and goes again to fastboot menu...no recovery mode or dead bot with error comes. Below is blue writing "continue the fastboot process".
This happened after I tried to install twrp through twrp manager...it was installing twrp and said that install succesful.
Also tried fastboot command "fastboot clear cache", but nothing.
So, you didn't unlock the bootloader and removed your recovery...
1st thing, go to bootloader mode, download the recovery for your version of Android, eg 2.20.40.168, and flash through fastboot on the PC.
Put phone in fastboot (bootloader mode) - I'm assuming of course you have the latest Intel drivers and the flashing tools - and through the CMD interface (agasin flashing tools) type "fastboot devices". If you did it right then you'll see you serial number...
Now, in the same folder as the fastboot tools, have the recovery.img ready and type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".
You should now have recovery again...
2. If you haven't done so, lookup how to unlock bootloader before trying this again and do it. Make sure everything goes as it says, particularly important the splashscreen that says ASUS turns white, and you should be ok to flash TWRP though I use PC as I find everything seems to work.
Yes, it was my mistake, i didn't unlock bootloader and tried to flash twrp.
Now i can Go into fastboot and phone connects to pc easily.
But so far i didn't found recovery image for 2.20.40.174 fw.
But can you confirm that it's possible now to use one click bootloader unlock and then flash twrp? Without flashing stock recovery.

You can use This Apk to unlock bootloader.
Once unlocked it will reboot and show white splashscree,then you are ready to use twrp.
Try it
If you go to the pre-rooted rom thread you can download ALL the img files - rom, recovery,boot and droidboot.img. I'm pretty sure 174 was there in the Mega link at the top of the 1st post...
Just download the recovery.img as that's what you need...
Ok, thanks to all. Now bootloader is unlocked, twrp installed and installed rom blisspop. Great phone when there is no bloatware.
Sent from my ASUS_Z00A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Cool, glad you got your toy working again...
Same issue as sir Jaguar
Already installed .img trough adb says succesfully installed
When i go to recovery mode no deadbot no white splash screen load.
Tried the asus unlocking tool provided by the asus and the same link provided by sir Ultima still no good results.
Im already at 174 fw
Tried the twrp apk
Tried flashify
Tried diffrent kind of .img
Tried to re install the image using ADB
Still no good results
I think its the bootloader that has the problem.
Guys plz help tnx
thank you for your hard work!! love it
you can try to reflash the corresponding version of stock recovery.img

There is no download mode , just boot loader to flash via fastboot.
You are bricked if no boot loader.

zenfone 3 deluxe z016s bootloop - only fastboot mode

Hello. i have 2 phones with the same defect.
They remain on the word asus, and restart.
Continuous bootloop.
I can access the fastboot mode but not the recovery.
I downloaded the firmware from the asus website, but I can't flash via fastboot.
how can you solve it?
I add that I wish I could flash the original rom via fastboot, but being a zip format, it is not possible for me.
I also extracted the contents and flashed the file system (renamed changing the extension from "dat" to "img". But I got nothing.
I only get phone in fastboot.
Is there any .img format rom that you can flash, or the original recovery to be able to flash then through adb?

Exactly the same thing happened to me. It started a few months ago but it would complete the bootup after a while. Now it just stays on bootloop and nothing else except for being able to boot into fastboot but I can't flash recovery or anything from there so I don't know what to do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated since I was still using the phone but can't anymore from the looks of it.

Any luck? I tried flashing stock rom through fastboot. It flashed properly but the problem still persists. I also rooted this phone before so the bootloader is already unlocked. I tried to flash TWRP but still it cant boot to recovery and still boot loops. I've tried the flashing the RAW rom also through ASUS Flashtool, still same results. Its really sad, I really like this device for gaming. Its still performs better than my S9 plus. My s9 has some very aggressive throttling issues. I am beginning to think that the UFS storage chip is dead. I cant seem to flash anything on the memory.
