ASUS Zenfone 2 Stuck on Logo - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After looking online for solutions, I cannot get my device to boot up. It started when I tried to flash CM when it failed (BTW I used flashboot since my recovery couldn't work) Then I tried flashing the stock rom again but it did not work so I factory reset and my device couldn't boot and it would boot into recovery. I used adb to try to reflash firmware but it would always say remote permission denied I tried AFT but that screwed up everything. I couldn't use recovery and I only had access to bootloader. I then tried to reflash recovery, fastboot, and boot img and now my phone cannot access bootloader!:crying: I also tried xFSTK but it always returned with a fail. I deleted my only backup as it couldn't restore in CWM flashboot so now I'm stuck with a phone that cannot boot and would always loop the ASUS logo. My device model is ZE551ML. It was rooted prior to this.
UPDATE: My phone cannot turn on after flashing again with xFSTK. It only has a black screen even with hours of charging.
UPDATE 2:xFSTK has installed FW...... used wrong gp override value with 5 zeros instead of 4...
UPDATE 3: Used ADB to flash files onto phone and the phone is erasing with Android bot and reboots. Phone now works!

xFSTK what error it gives? does it give storage programmer error?

I have tried every method. As I said above, xFSTK and ASUS Flash Tools do not work since I cannot access bootloader and xFSTK does not work

It just says OS and Firmware not installed and I cannot get it to boot to bootloader.

Where are the logs located? Also, Since I do not have the hanging wire (had one but solved it), it does not install the os since it keeps trying to connect to the device.

try using ifwi from latest stock MM firmware if fails then charge your device for few hours. then open back cover and remove battery connector. place some small paper connector so it does not make any connection. now keep it like this for few days. after 5 days try again you will solve continue to os waiting for device issue

Could you provide a link to the MM bin files? Also, my model is the ZE551ML so I cannot get into the battery. I can stop it from looping but it just turns off.

Thanks for the link So how do I flash the bin files? xFSTK disconnect from my phone when it tries to flash the OS.
EDIT: After flashing, the phone cannot turn on. I don't know if it is because of the firmware flash. I will charge the phone for a couple of hours.

if you are disconnected at os download even with above fwimage file. then charge it for few hours and then remove the battery connector and leave it for few days as long as you have patience 5 to 7 days. and then try again

Actually, it turns on again after disconnecting from xFSTK not because of battery. Im starting to believe that it is dead.

Flash stock zip kernel from artmod thread.
the problem is. I can't upload any files to mobile phone. if i connect to pc, it turns on, goes to recovery, so I click on mount storage, and other mount option, nothing happens. My computer detects phone as F180L with a exclamation mark.
If i go to download mode, and then try to flash any KDZ file from all the f180 KDzs. It gives me errors.
LG Support Tool on entering serial number and model name says "check out serial number and model"
ADB never detects my phone. So I can't upload anything.
No option to upload files via SD Card.
ok, so I have no clue what happened :crying: phone was in download mode. I did nothing, but only installed LG Support Tool USB driver, while the mobile connected.
Then I installed Microsoft .net framework 4.0. And my phone is now qhs_usbdload. it's officially bricked now. I have no clue what happened. This is all that happened before I restarted and selected "reboot to bootloader" and its dead. So there's nothing left to do but throw it out
WTF OKAY! I have no clue!
But, after seeing that qhs usbdload. (i have seen that before with other phones). I complete lost any hope.
So I for feeling contended, downloaded qpst, and emmc software download, and selected MPRG8064.hex and msimage.bin.
Then like I expected it threw an error "image download failed, cookie if present not received"
so I lost hope disconnected my phone and put it there. After a few minutes thought I should try one last time.
so I connect it my pc and VIOLA it turns ON!?
now I have that same rebooting to recovery problem. I have no explanation for whatever has happened to phone in past 3 hours. I have been with phones for years. This is the weirdest thing to happen ever :angel:
Now someone, please help me?
1. Why is this in Development section?
2. You can't mount internal SD as USB storage. Use adb push or adb sideload instead, that will help you to get the files onto your phone.

Some user got that problem before. I am not sure about how they solve it but I guess that they flash their original KDZ back. If your phone can enter download mode, you should try LG Flash tool 2014 and flash your original kdz to restore incorrect system image.
About adb cannot find your phone, try to remove adb driver from device manager and reinstall LG usb driver.

My phone is acting weird. Sometime it would start. Sometime the red light would blink. Sometimes the red light wouldn't blink at all. Then sometimes, it starts. And then it doesn't.
I have no clue what is going on with it.
But it went to download mode many times again, it would go to fastboot, bootloader, recovery etc. Then sometimes it will not respond to any buttons at all! I know its battery is down, but idk if it's charging or not?
I don't know how to know whether the phone is charging or not. I left it charging for 30 minute, and it didn't even buzz. :crying:

One thing you can do (I've done it in the past a couple of times) is to crack your phone open, disconnect the battery, and charge it with an external charger. That would at least give you a full battery to start with...
Regarding the charging problems, I had that once. I was able to startup the phone by simply using a 2A charger instead of the LG's 1.2A.
When I had this issue it was charging while in recovery. Please look at this post and flash your kdz.

thanks. but after charging it. I couldn't turn the screen off because it goes in recovery. I turned off the phone after good 30 minute charging. Then went to sleep. And in the morning I connected it to pc. by holding volume buttons for download mode. It didn't go to download mode. Only it's red light is blinking. and no display.

Hi, regarding that. I was able to sideload exitrecovery.zip file. It goes to 100% then nothing happens. Nothing happened on phone screen as well.
And can you send me link to that stock zip kitkat? i have a miui.zip and few other roms that I have not tried. thanks
Edit: also what should I do about adb, am i doing correct?
Becuase in adb devices, my device is displayed with deviceID sideload
And i have only pasted adb folder, with a dll and a zip file, there is nothing else, do I need to install SDK?
I tried lg flash tool 2014 again, and it flashed, I swear yesterday I tried to flash it, and after clicking on it, it never showed me country and language selection menu, so it would sit there and do nothing. now I don't know how but it did it :laugh:
thank you so much you'all

Does the phone freeze at random times? Like no matter where its at, sometimes it boots to the operating system?

It's starting to sound more and more like a MEM BLOCK corruption..

To me it used to happen sometimes while charging. I had to manually switch off the screen and when i switched on the screen, it became normal for a while. I thought it was due to heavy xposed customizations.

Try this:
copy all zip files you need to reflash (10D or similar) to a memcard
Also download latest twrp and copy it to the directory where you have adb.exe
Open a Command prompt on your PC (where adb is located) and powerup the phone,
open up the Device Manager on your PC to see when the adb device is there,
in the moment where you see the adb device fire up the comand:
adb reboot bootloader
if that works enter the comand:
fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.0-h815.img
this will boot directly into Twrp without flashing twrp and you can try things from twrp
I hope this will help here, helped me with the phone from a friend of me who had a similar problem.

Soft Bricked LG G3 D855, Please Help

I am not new to rooting and unlocking Androids. My LG G3's UI would randomly freeze where I had to reboot the device to have it working again. Today I decided to flash the vanilla unicorn rom in recovery. I downloaded the rom and copied it over to the phone but the copy process kept getting stuck at some point, that I always had to cancel it.
So I decided to wipe cache and data to just reinstall the official d855 CM13 rom I had earlier on the device's storage, the wipe got stuck for at least 20 mins. I got impatient and removed the battery trying to reboot into recovery, but I was stunned and stuck on the LG Splash screen logo, I kept trying to reboot into recovery but couldn't get past the LG splash screen.
I then decided to try rebooting into fastboot, I was able to boot into fastboot the normal way without any issues but every attempt at getting TWRP just wasn't yielding anything useful. The closest I've gotten to seeing TWRP since then was with the fastboot command
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
which reboots showing the TWRP splash screen image without actually showing TWRP, but I've noticed I can access adb while the screen is stuck on the TWRP splash screen image.
I can't do any sideload of the zips on my computer because TWRP just stays there stuck on the splash screen so I can't enable sideloading. I have spent hours with this and it has taken too much of my time, attempts at
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
just returns with an error in cmd with FAILED (remote: flash write failure).
I can't figure out what to do anymore, I'm left with a phone that can't boot into the rom and recovery, only the fastboot and download mode works. I just need the phone to let me boot into recovery so I can flash the files I need to and have my phone back to its earlier state.
I'll really appreciate everyone's support, thanks!

I have tried using the flash tool, but I can't get into Download mode to use the LG Flash tool to get back to stock. All I get is fastboot.
There was a tutorial about using two wires on the emmc, but I haven't been able to get the Qualcomm HD_USB 9008 to show up in Device manager.

Do you have Qualcomm drivers installed in pc?
I have unbricked many mobile using this pin shortening trick.it's simple.just make sure you are shortening the right pins.

Thanks for that post. I'll give it a try again tonight, I just need the Qualcomm 9008 drivers to come up.
Cause I noticed every time attach the wire to the board, windows recognizes the phone with an error "USB device not recognized" and in device manager a yellow warning mark next to one of the USB device icons.

I recently recoverd from a brick using the usual xfstk downloader asus flash tool ect... i think i quit the asus flash tool too early and it left me with a buggy android. my problem is. there is no bootloader! when i try get to it ( even through adb) theres nothing there! but theres a fully working android. I tried to use xfstk downloader again, and when it says "continuing to os" all it does is put me in android with no bootloader. I really want a way to fully wipe my device so i can start fresh again. Is this safe? is there a better way?
that's why i always recommend to use commands method to flash after xfstk. any ways enable developer option and usb debugging. then connect to pc and run command adb reboot recovery. most probably you will boot into recovery factory reset there and sideload latest firmware downloaded from asus website.
if you are rooted then you can flash bootloader via dd commands

Also the xfstk won't complete because when it says continuing to os. It just takes me back to android.
I recommend to use this guide

It's the only way to get my ZE551ML run again.
After using xfstk, go forward without AsusFlashTool and do all steps manually as described in the guide. It helped me to get my bricked ZF2 run again with newest MM.
Good luck.

here are few things you can do! wipeout ifwi on emmc. and then use latest MM ifwi on marshmallow. if still same open back panel of the phone disconnect battery connector and place small paper under connector leave it like 7 days and after that try xfstk again with original files

It may be a fault in some other guides by addressing in xfstk.
The right address is 0x80000807, some other guides show 0x800000807, one 0 too much!
The guide I linked to does it right.

If you finally want to go to MM, you can install it directly if your phone is broken now. So you will get a very clean MM without messed up from updading from LP! Really recommend.

No way to unbrick this phone

Hey guys,
I've got a Oneplus 3 that freezes every time it tries to boot. Fastboot and recovery are still working, factory reset makes no difference. After sideloading the latest OxygenOs the screen just goes blank after the Oneplus splash screen and recovery doesn't work anymore. The MsmDownloadTool only gets me where I started, back at the bootloop. So the old OOS gives me bootloop with recovery and fastboot while the new OOS only gives me fastboot and a blank screen.
New system with old working boot and recovery gives "md5 checksum failed".
The bootloader is locked and as long as I can't get in the settings there is no way to unlock it, so my options are pretty limited here.
I've contacted Oneplus but they aren't really helping either.
Is there any way to get this thing back to life?

I know what you talking about.. Went through that too when i used method one.. use method 2..it will flash stock OOS and you will boot successfully
If you already did..try once more..download the tools over again

Probably a stupid question but have you tried flashing oxygen os recovery and then tried to flash stock ROM?

That unbrick tool also flashes the stock recovery. I cant flash anything using fastboot because the bootloader is locked

And why is it locked then? Why would you ever relock your bootloader? You should be able to unlock it anyway without going in to settings. Are you sure you are using the correct drivers? Windows installs the wrong once by default.

It has never been unlocked. In the settings is the "Allow OEM Unlock" option which you should check before you can unlock the bootloader. As long as I can't boot the phone I can't check this option, or someone must know a workaround. Yes I'm pretty sure I'm using the correct drivers

If you plug your phone in how does it show up under Device Manager? Have you also tried "fastboot OEM Unlock"?

When it's in the bootloader menu it shows up as "Android Bootloader Interface", when it's in EDL mode it shows up as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3)". It connects fine with the pc and flashes everything without problems as far as I can see. Yeah it says "FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)" probably because the allow oem unlock option in the settings isn't checked.
Most likely won't do anything, but have you tried a different computer? Seems like it would make no difference but tiny things like that have saved me in the past.

Yea I know what you mean I tried it on a few different computers, even with different cables but it doesn't make a difference...

Pretty sure you are using wrong drivers. You should be able to unlock the bootloader even tho it is remote. When I first bricked my phone I forgot about the drivers aswell. My phone booted up and showed. System: Failed, Userdata:Failed. This means it failed to detect those partitions which you can find in unbrick program itself called system.img, userdata.img. You can actually flash these manually with fastboot flash system system.img but I also got the "Remote is not allowed error". After booting into disabled Driver Signature Enforcement mode and changing the drivers from on the guide I could actually flash these partitions. Your phone has to show up as Qualcomm 9008 or something close and not as Android Interfere Device. I have helped multiple people fixing their phone with this guide and they also had a locked bootloader and they also did not have the correct drivers.
Boot into https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ho...so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/amp/ then install the driver linked on the Unbrick Guide. Your phone should show up correctly. Then run the unbrick guide as admin and it should go through flawless.

Tried everything it says in the guide about the drivers (even the last part about installing the certificates) but it just keeps showing up as qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008, even though I'm pretty sure they are installed correctly. It just won't show up as Qualcomm 9008, as it is supposed to, whatever I try. But it looks like these drivers are only for the EDL mode, and as far as I know it is normal for the phone to show up as Android Bootloader Interface when it's in the bootloader menu. And you can't use fastboot from EDL mode... Will try it later again on a different pc though, really hope you are right about the drivers after all
Hi Robert,
I am having same problem with my oneplus3. I also tried both unbrick methods and tried different oxygen ROMs.
Are you able to fix your phone?
Thanks in Advance,
Anil
