Asus flash tool showing failed - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi..i have hard bricked my asus zenfone 551ml 4gb/32gb.lost bootloader,recovery everything.set was just vibrating and black.then used xSTFS loader and now regained bootloader..but when i try to flash raw image via asus flash tool it shows FAILED(wrong image format).i tried several times but same.it shows my serial no 123456789ABC..now i m really puzzled what to do.as most who bricked their set were succeded by this method here..so what should i do now? i dont have any asus centre here.plz help.thanx

serial number 123456789ABC is normal if you have ever used xFSTK program to reload the entire boot chain.
I gathered from the internet that Asus Flash tool will hang after it reloads the correct serial number. It thinks it is communicating with a phone that has SN 123456789ABC but then at some point the phone switches SN and Asus Flash Tool hangs.
You can get around this hang using several methods
1) restart computer after asus flash tool hangs
2) use second computer to load RAW image after asus flash tool hangs
3) Going into Windows Device Manager and disabling the Android bootloader device then re-enabling it (after asus flash tool hangs)
You can tell Asus flash tool is hanging when you run "fastboot devices" command and you see a device that is not serial number 123456789ABC
RAW image (to my knowledge) is only for xFSTK program.

can you tell us what u have done to fix it??
i am facing something like you, cannot flash using AFT because after i click start on AFT, it always show "Flash image failure (FAILED (wrong image format))"
tried download raw file few time, in case corrupted, different version and different AFT version, run as administrator but still no luck still showing the same error
in fastboot mode, my serial number is looks normal but "bootloader version - unknown"...
i wonder if the phone bootloader have been unlock, so it cannot be flash using AFT.
i am facing some problem with asus zenfone 2 ZE550ML (Z008)
and decided to flash it so maybe the problem will gone...i maybe gonna create my first thread here about it, i hope i can get some help and fix it myself...

you refer to the step "Flashing Firmware Without AFT", right??
because the phone which i wanna flash is not bricked yet, it still can turn ON normally. i just cannot hearing call in and out (not hardware problem since i still can hear and speak if calling using apps like Whatsapp, BBM, IMO or other chat apps). and also the IMEI of SIM 2 is unknown/Null...but the SIM 1 still can be used and the IMEI is there...tried update to latest OTA didnt solved it, so i think maybe need to be flashed using AFT.
so i did not do the steps before it...i wonder if it still OK??...

cant find any solution with 'media scanning"

hi2all
before post this thread i cheked all xda but anyone method did not help me
my problem is "scanning media files"
one day when i serfing inet my E975 has been rebooted
after load i got a first time boot start message
all data lost and phone ask me to set all setting from beginning
now i see alltime 'scanning media files'
I have tried the following: steps:
made hard resets - no effect
flashed using KDZ updater (E97510C_00, E97510a_00 E97510f_00) - no effect
used LGtool (selected recovery..inserted my IMEI and load) - no effect
and followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2010624
but problem haven't solved
always media scanning
cant try any ways like fleshing kernel, becose need fastboot mode
cant unlock fastboot, cos cant make root... anyone way to install root not work, cos no access to phone storage
someone told me i can try to do root with adb shell... but cant find how i can use this in my sutuation
I would be very thanksfull any help
i rly dont know what should i do next....
In the past I have a problem with media scanner message, always running in the background, although I had no problems about rebooting or soft-resets, it was only a message running in the background always. The way I solve it was to go into "almacenador de medios" (dont know in english, maybe something like "media store") in app manager, and then force stop, clean data and clean cache, reboot and after a first past again, all went ok. I suppose you continue with the message after reseting maybe because cache or dalvik cache is not clean.
Hope that help.

have you tried the lg pc suite?go to lg's site and download it and the connect your phone to pc in "pc suite" mode.then from there you can do an update or press the "emergency firmware recovery" under device menu.This will propably recover your phone.

anyone knows how i can made root without access rights to sd card?
ways like "frameroot.apk" and via bat file "currentroot.bat" - not worked (all those methods need access to sd card)
or maybe there are any commands on ADB to reset or fix sd card?
i'm rly sad with my problem....
what is the model of your phone and ROM?
did You try go back to stock rom with LGMobile Support Tool?
I have same problem but it occurs when I flash to E97510D ROM (my phone is F180K):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2246867
when I want to fix it, I make emergency firmware recovery in LGMobile Support Tool (and factory reset after this).
Maybe your motherboard is giving up
no... every time I go back to stock ROM, its working fine

first im sorry for my bad english
you need to download soom tools
1. IMEI number generate tool
generate random IMEI/MEID/MAC number
or you can get your IMEI number from your mobile phone packing box?
and click button make the serial number file
you will find it in C:/nubia backup
2. develop mode->android debug Bridge
phone->*#7678#->check(or click or select?) both of factory com and adb com
3. nubia first aid kit(sorry again im using google translate)
setup on your pc and setup nubia android usb driver
plug the usb cable , click the restore ,choose the zip file create by step 1 and will auto reboot then you will find the IMEI number on your phone
4. use nubia toolstudio to restore baseband
setup on your pc
click restore and then click the blank form
you will see some information like com5 usb3
click browsing and choose my baseband backup
click start to restore your phone

[Partialy Bricked] H815 - how to get to stock

Hello Guys
My friend ask me for get a Lineage OS to his H815 with Nougat. I agreed as I made few successful changes from stock to Lineage OS with Samsungs and older LGs (like L3 E400). But G4 is really more complicated, more than I expected . Firstly I wanted to unlock this phone with FWUL, so I download a VirtualBox emulated image with FWUL and after it boots I opened SALT program and it detects the phone. I made a basic backup and then I choosed Unlock G4 (UsU). After that some windows pop up. Last window was a pre-checking, when the bar gets to the end window closed and nothing more was happening. So after almost hour of waiting I just turned off the phone - I thought its all. After that while phone is booting I have those messages in the left top corner:
[820]-----------------------
[870]
[920] Secure boot error!
[970] Error code : 1009
[1020[ OFFICIAL !!
[1070]
[1120]-----------------------
Its booting, but only sometimes its normal boot, most starts are with bootloop, sometimes its start after 10 restarts, sometimes after 2nd restart, sometimes after plug in/plug out USB cable it starts boot normally (connecting cable only to phone, not to PC), sometimes only thing that helps is to take out the battery. I made full wipe to be sure that its not a software problem, but only thing I achived with that is fact that phone has a Nougat and now it have a Marshmallow. It is (was?) H815, but now model name is LGLS991 (?), it gets very long until it shows software version (V20g), IMEI is unknow, even when I type *#06# I get the null response.
I can get into recovery, can put phone into download mode. But i'm not able to do anything to get LOS or a least Nougat.
I've read many, many tutorials how to get G4 working properly after unsuccessful unlock, but nothing helps. What I've tried:
1. Flashing stock Nougat for H815 with LGUP, installed USB drivers, proper DLL, set com to 41, but when I trying to flash, after a 4% i get error: KDZ file is invalid. Downloaded few KDZ firmwares, dont belive that every single one is invalid, there is something wrong with LGUP or with settings, but I cant find what
2. Flashing with LG Flash Tool 2014: tried both normal flash and cse flash and always stoping in the same moment, with "Connection to server failed. Try again in a moment". Read many tutorials about this error, none was helpful in my case.
3. Flashing with LG Flash Tool v1.8.1.1023 and a TOT file, but after select of dll and tot file and press the yellow arrow I get an error: "Failed PreviousLoad()"
Tried all this methods on second computer but without a luck.
What else can I try to get this G4 working properly? Maybe try to install some rom from stock recovery? But which rom will be ok and dont get things worst?
If you need more info dont hesitate to ask. Would be very greatful for any advices .
you definitely didn't read enough... go to read again the UsU thread and as you've read the whole tutorial, you can also read the whole FAQ and the OP, because 90% of what you pointed out in your publication (which incidentally is in the wrong section) is explained there.
A quick advice: Don't try to flash any KDZ/TOT again.

your device is corrupt. it can not be trusted and not boot

I'm sorry if the post is not in the right place.
I own a z2 force that turned itself off and the rear camera did not work.
Putting the "power low" message on the recovery screen, even when the full charge appeared, after a time off "power ok" was displayed.
One moment he did not call any more and I tried bootloader, but without being able to activate usb debugging (my fatal error!), Now the message "your device is corrupted. It can not be trusted and it does not boot" and I can not unlock bootloader nor flash a new rom to boot the device.
obs: camera and battery problems appeared after the upgrade via ota to 8.0 actions
Solved.

I was able to start the device after hours looking for a solution, now I'm flashing a new rom to try to fix the camera problem and automatic shutdown.
How do you solve it?
I usually buy second hand Motorola phones (also this ATT Z2F), but I've never met the problem on individual hardwares yet (like camera, fingerprint sensor). Almost errors can be solved via flashing a right firmware. I think you can now flash fw via Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant (LMSA). If you use flashall.bat method, just take a look at the xml file and compare it to the content of flashall.bat (two types can be opened by Notepad, Notepad++ is recommended). The xml one shows what will be flashed.
For example: in the xml one has oem.img_sparsechunk.0-1-2, but in flashall.bat only has: fastboot flash oem oem.img
If you continue, your phone won't boot.
You have to edit flashall.bat:
fastboot flash oem oem.im_sparsechunk.0
fastboot flash oem oem.im_sparsechunk.1
fastboot flash oem oem.im_sparsechunk.2
Save and continue your works.
The xml is the standard file for RSD Lite. But, RSD seems not to be supported on recent PC hardwares, so step-by-step fastboot or flashall.bat is recently used. Therefore, just take a look before flashsing (other preparations won't be mentioned here). You should flash the equal or higher version to your current fw version on your phone.
Hope this works for you all.
i'm facing same problem,

Struggling to unlock booloader: getting weird barcodes

I am following the instructions from motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a
I've downloaded Motorola drivers for Mac, as well as platform-tools. I am booting the phone to booloader but then a weird barcode shows up: imgur.com/a/8sT2lds
Any idea how to make progress from there? By the way my phone model is XT2029-2

Would like to know it too. Passed some days searching the web for a answer, and got none. The only thing I get when scanning the barcode is a number that AFAIK doesn't match any serial nor anything at all in the phone; just a number from what I can tell. Using fastboot oem get_unlock_data doens't work at all too, I just get a "command unknown" error returned from fastboot. Tried different drivers, none seemed to work, and the only ones that did, gave me the barcode and the fastboot error when trying to unlock. A very weird error, this one; fastboot devices work just fine, fastboot getvar all too, so it really doesn't seem like a fastboot or driver issue. My last try was this article (https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-discover-hidden-fastboot-commands/) to see if I could get a list of the phones OEM commands and figure out how to unlock it. Tried to extract the bootloader from the firmware I downloaded online, using a tool I found on the forum, but no success until now. Will try to root the phone and extract it as it is shown in the tutorial to see if I can get more lucky. I saw somewhere that there's an app called sunshine that was used to unlock some older models, maybe you wanna try that too. I won't, because it's paid and I don't have the money to pay for it . Anyway, I'll try the bootloader extracting and see how that works, and depending on the output, maybe I'll post a tutorial here.

Ok so after analysis the barcode just the IMEI associated with my SIM card's slot. (This phone has two SIM card slots.) Nothing interesting about it, I think.
Also it seems that Motorola does not support unlocking this bootloader as it does for other phones; in fact "motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a" is just a hub for any phone listed at "support.motorola.com/us/en/solution/MS87215", and this one is not on the list. I am not aware of any way to unlock the bootloader in these circumstances.
Please let me / us know if you are more successful than me. For now I will consider this phone not rootable via this method.
PS: The furthest I've been: `fastboot oem get_unlock_data` returns a blank line as if the mobile was working. No error message or anything.
PPS: What do you mean by "extracting the bootloader"? What rooting method is extracting the bootloader part of?
The official list of devices that can be unlocked has never been complete.
Usually all moto models can be unlocked, except Carrier branded devices or those on Amazon software channel.
Those getting the barcode screen, is that from
Pressing the volume down button and power on, or
adb reboot bootloader
?

That's weird. My barcode number doesn't seem to match any numbers at all, serial, IMEI, nothing. I'll double check it to see if I have missed something. Never got this blank line, would be happy if you shared how you achieved it, maybe there could be some insight I can get from the process. Answering the question about the bootloader, the extraction isn't a part of a rooting method, it's only something I'm trying in order to get the list of oem fastboot commands of the phone. Those are manufacturer-specific, aren't listed anywhere, and differ from model to model. The method I'm using is the one from the article I pointed in my previous answer. Anyway, if it takes me anywhere, I'll bring an update about it with details.

The barcode is from entering the bootloader. Any method that gets you there shows it. At first I thought it was a driver-related bug, but after some experimentation it seems like whenever the device is recognized by fastboot, it shows this barcode; So it appears to be a bootloader-related thing (I never saw nothing like it, so just guessing for now). Also tried the method from the Motorola website, and I really wish it had worked as expected, but what it seems to me is that MediaTek devices are a pain in the ass in general for this kind of thing. The device doesn't recognizes the oem commands sent through fastboot as valid (And yes, OEM Unlocking is properly enabled under Developer Settings). Here's a screenshot from a powershell session showing the results of trying the commands. Notice how the device is correctly recognized by both adb and fastboot, only the unlocking commands doesn't work: https://pasteboard.co/JnW4cvK.png

In my case the barcode shows up whenever I reach fastboot, whether via booting with [vol up + power] and then selecting fastboot, or via adb reboot bootloader. I've tried several barcode recognition apps and 2 out of 3 confirm it's my IMEI.

Did you try
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
according to this thread... it is for e6 plus. May be it works with e6 play.
https://old.reddit.com/r/androidroot/comments/f6c5k5/unlock_bootloader_moto_e6_plus/fupyalw/
No,
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock critical
does not work. And no, we shouldn't assume that a method meant for the e6 plus works for the e6 play.
Phone in red state not able to change settings
I have struggled with the same problems as above. I am not able to get into the developer mode as I only have access to the recovery screen. Anybody who knows how to do that from the recovery screen - perhaps using terminal?
I have been able to enter into the phone by adb sideload filename.zip and the phone acknowledged connection, but the upload failed, probably due to I am not able to unlock the phone from the red state/Android Recovery. It is running bali-reteu/bali9/POAS29.550-81-1/

It is not clear to me what you did exactly. The step where we -- the others participants to this post and I -- are stuck is [2] here below:
boot to fastboot by running `adb reboot bootloader` from a command line on a connected and turned on device
get the OEM unlock code by doing `fastboot oem get_unlock_data` from a connected device under the fastboot interface
exchange the unlock code on the motorola support site and input that code to confirm bootloader unlock

I have been able to enter into the phone by adb sideload filename.zip and the phone acknowledged connection, but the upload failed, probably due to I am not able to unlock the phone from the red state/Android Recovery. It is running bali-reteu/bali9/POAS29.550-81-1/

Got a little further as the code:
#fastboot flash unlock_critical Filename.zip#
the phone replied - Transferring and Transmission OK .... time etc
But I got an error sadly to say:
Failed (remote: not allowed in locked state) so I'm back to basics as I cannot open the state from the recovery mode (as of yet)

Okay, I would like to be positive and call that a progress but the whole point of steps (2-3) is to have it unlocked so that you can proceed to root to flashing it the way you're trying to.
So I am pretty pessimistic on that one. To me it looks like a case of a cheap phone a company has no real urge to make easy to unlock.

It is not clear to me what you did exactly. The step where we -- the others participants to this post and I -- are stuck is [2] here below:
boot to fastboot by running `adb reboot bootloader` from a command line on a connected and turned on device
get the OEM unlock code by doing `fastboot oem get_unlock_data` from a connected device under the fastboot interface
exchange the unlock code on the motorola support site and input that code to confirm bootloader unlock

Sorry got carried away finding a group dealing with the same problem as I have. And not skimming but reading the text I can confirm that I am stuck at the same place. Sorry for the interruption. I will revert if/when I have something new.

Just curious do you know what software Channel your phone is on?
The software Channel might be listed in
Settings/ about phone.
Or try
Code:
fastboot getvar all
While in fastboot mode
ro.carrier = Software Channel

You didn't ask me but perhaps it might help you help us:
Code:
reteu
for me.
I'm don't actually know anything regarding rooting mobile devices but i'm going to post some of my experience thinking it might help someone who actually knows what to do.
I've been having the same issue while trying to unlock the bootloader.
As it seems all of the fastboot commands are working fine except the OEM ones which is strange considering that i'm sure i toggled the OEM Unlock on the dev. options, just like some members commented already.
Regarding the barcode it shows as soon as i connect the device via USB in Fastboot mode, and it shows up when i use "adb reboot bootloader" too, but it wasn't showing before i updated the USB Drives so i could find the device via "fasboot devices" (the phone wasn't showing before i did it).

@sd_shadow: Do you think it looks like a bootloader you could unlock?
