This guide is to recover the Zuk Z2 (plus) from hard brick state
So you might be stuck here -
Phone is not turning on
Phone Reboot and screen go black with notification light on and you are unable to switch it off.
How To-
1. How to switch it off
- First this is happening because you have locked you're bootloader
- You have black screen and led on so just hold power button then Zuk logo will be flash after that you will get black screen again and the phone is preparing to reboot but before that the led will get turn off immediately release power button.
(It's crucial timing but when rebooting your device vibrates so it's the time when phone is about to start vibrate while LED is off just leave power button)
- You have it Your phone is switched off
(Tip- Let it reboot once after that don't leave the power button and after that led will get off you have to remove finger from power button this is tricky )
2. Going to Bootloader
-First connect the USB to laptop
-After you have switched off your phone press volume up and down together and with holding buttons connect the phone to USB and you will see the fastboot mode.
3. Unlock your phone
-Remember the unlock bootloader file in your email re download it and unlock your bootloader again
- Don't reboot right away as you don't have any OS installed Even if it boot it might give problem.
- after unlocking phone you will see phone rebooted press power button reboot press volume the volume button and go to reboot option
4. For Userdata
- I suggest you to flash recovery instead of using old installed one.
- go to fastboot and flash the TWRP.
- Boot into TWRP and you will see your data on internal storage is present so just sideload ROM or if you have in internal storage just flash
( Note- in case you are using TWRP 3.4 newer roms with factory based ROM will flashed without problem in case you are trying to flash old Oreo non-treble ROMs you need to wipe like you do for normal ROM installation and reboot to recovery then flash Oreo Non-treble ROM otherwise they will not boot even after flashing)
Or
- QFIL ZUI 4.0.199ST as this QPST
- When selecting the XML file select retain userdata one so it won't erase your userdata partitions
5. In case you want to flash ZUI
- Load files in QFIL
- To reboot phone into EDL from Fastboot mode type following command
Code:
fastboot -i0x2b4c oem reboot-edl
- It will get detected in QFIL just hit Download.
In case you run into Sahara failed error follow my guide to fix sahara error

Hey I have a hardbricked zuk but the only signs of life is a white led and at times a vibration when I connect it to pc there is a a port written as Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E (COM4) . I've seen quite a lot of threads of booting it to edl and deep flashing is not a choice I'm willing to take . I'd appreciate it if you are able to help me
thanks

I tried to flash a kernel s-on from recovery and now my screen won't turn on. I can hear notifications and even took a call but I can't see anything on the screen. I have a nand backup but I am having trouble accessing bootloader or recovery. I was using Dirty Underground rom I believe so I'm not sure if USB debugging was enabled. I currently only have access to a Mac computer. When I hold down the power button the notification light keeps blinking and the phone stays on, when I hold down power + volume down nothing happens, and when I hold down power + volume up it just reboots briefly showing the splash screen with red text and bringing me back to my black/dark gray screen. If anyone could help me get my phone back to working order I would be extremely grateful. Thanks for reading my post

Hold Volume UP + Power button for 10seconds, device will boot then, then immediately press Volume DOWN + Power Button to enter Fastoot.
Connect phone to PC, open command prompt and change directory to adb folder. Type in fastboot erase cache then fastboot reboot to see if it helps. If it doesn't, repeat process to enter bootloader then go into recovery and reflash.
What Kernel did you try to flash? ElementalX?
If you have adb access then just plug in your phone and type "adb reboot recovery". Then restore your backup or push a working kernel to your phone to flash.

i got my acro s hard bricked
I used twrp for making a backup for the the stock firmware.
and then i installed the 5.0.1 the lollipop custom firmware
the link :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799765
, but it was not rooted but somehow the recovery was working good .. i decided to restore the stock using the backup version which i made in the beginning coz the ROM was sucks. after finishing the loading it asked for restart and after that i got a blank screen and the following
-no response for charging
-no LED lights at all
-non of any combinations working (volume+ and power on , hard reset or volume+up+power on)
-access to fastboot or flashtool is denied
-no power on no vibrations
but after a day of charging an Orange LED appears but i waited for two more days till the LED disappeared
and tried the flashtool but all i got is "device connected but with debugging off"
i think the problem was using recovery with unrooted device but can't find a solution for that
any suggestions ??!!
Notes:
am too calm
am not panic ..
am not in hurry too
and it's not a big deal
i just want the device back in order to get my stuff from it that's why going to Sony service center is not an option coz they format the whole device
Similar here on st26i
On 4.4 Paranoidandroid I've got after a five days of use in one second a lot of force closes. From every app from the system. It was impossible to stop it, or make normal reboot, so I've hold Power + VolUp and waited till three vibrations. Then turn on the phone, normal vibration and SONY logo.
After that black screen. First with some backlight, after minutes phone backlight turn off.
Now:
- No response for Power button
- No response for Power+VolUp combination
- No charging LED
- System find only SEMC Flash Device
- Flashtool says Device Connected with USB Debugging off
- Combination Power+VolUp make connected device to disconnect and connect again as SEMC Flash Device
- Cant acces fastboot, dwonload mode.

it seems like we stuck here
Yup.
Is there any windows/linux software for SONY devices like KDZ for LG phones? Which have an emergency flash option and, etc.???
/EDIT
So... I have read a little and I think (wchich I supposed before witout reading) boot is "dead".
I think it will be possibly to flash new boot with s1boot, but. I cannot find service manual for lt26i. Can anyone have it? Or can say where is the Test Point in this device?

Same situation, really need help from someone because its my only android phone right now.
Hello
I was updating from a M version to another M verions. But I had to use the temporary recovery method.
This is what I was doing but didn't finish properly
Requirements:
1. Unlocked bootloader
2. TWRP for Z00A (Download | How to Install TWRP)
Unlock Bootloader on Android 6.0 Marshmallow ZenFone 2 ZE551ML/ZE550ML
Download tool (Download Here)
1. Extract it and connect Zenfone 2 with laptop/pc
2. Click unlock.bat will automatically detect whether the adb or fastboot mode, and then reboot into bootloader
3. Will appear on the screen to unlock the success of mobile phones after five seconds will reboot, then hold volume up the phone automatically re-boot back to bootloader.
4. If you missed the previous step, press the power button for 10 seconds off, then press the "Volume Up" and hold the power button to boot into bootloader.
5. After the phone has successfully re-enter the bootloader, click restore.bat on the computer, where the restore refers to the restore Android ifwi 6.0 otherwise Android phone can not enter the system.
6. The phone will reboot and restore white on black ASUS logo screen, and then enter the Android system.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I extracted and connect my zen2
Ran the unlock.bat
The phone entered the bootloader, flash his things and boot again but on the white screen
Then I had to hold power button 10s to turn it off and turn it on again
Entered the bootloadr by holding Power+Vol UP then to recovery.
At this time I just used the recovery as I usualy do, Wipe everything, cache, data, etc.
Connect to the PC, put the new UL-Z00A-WW-4.21.40.184-user.zip there and flash.
BUT now that comes the problem. I select the option to boot it after finish flashing.
So obviously I didnt finish the steps mentioned on the quote above.
I didnt ran the restore.bat before reboot into system and now All I see is black screen.
I've tryed some steps of those tutorials for briked phones but My computer can't see the device for long enough
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/thead-bricked-phone-updating-to-mm-tips-t3452785
I try to do those steps but I'm stuck on this part
now back to the Zenfone 2, hold power for 20 seconds to shutdown, then press simultaneously the key "power" + "volume down", until phone vibrates. Or computer makes detection sound, wait a few seconds it will add an item immediately below intelSoC in device manager “MOOREFIELD” new devices is successful.

My phone doesn't boot even on bootloader. It just vibrate twice and then nothing happens.
On my device manager I can see the "Moorefield" but only for a brief moment. when I try to turn on the phone then it immediately disapears and repeat this process (Vibrate twice, long preiod doing nothing and still black screen, then vibrates again twice, repeat)
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advice

any luck fixing? i got the same result, no screen or anything, two vibrations since yesterday
Sadly, no.
no fix for me yet...
Let me know if you find something
You have tô unbrick your phone. There are some tutorials in the forum
I am using the Z008D variant of the Zenfone 2.
I had bricked my phone 3 times and the guides that had helped me are:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/thead-bricked-phone-updating-to-mm-tips-t3452785
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-brick-soft-hard-bricked-zenfone-2-t3284256
I too had the same problem the first time I unbricked my phone. The moorefield device would show up briefly in device manager. It is stated in the guide that you had to press power+vol down when connecting the phone to use xFSTK. I googled and found that you had to actually press and hold the vol down button only and then connect the USB cable, then release it when the moorefield device is detected.
Updated out of the box device to latest android.
Tried to unlock the bootloader by adb method.
typed
"adb reboot bootloader
fastboot -i 0x2b4c flash unlock unlock_bootloader.img"
and then the command screen showed " [waiting for the device] "
As i was waiting i scrolled through the options by volume keys.. they are like "Restart" "boot to recovery".......
Accidentally pressed power key when it showed something like "Boot to ffb" or "Boot to fbb"
now struck in a screen which has some options like..
"1 SYSTEM INFO
2 KEYPAD BLACKLIGHT
3 LCD BACKLIGHT
4 LED RED

you booted into some bffm or anything mode, I was also stuck in this, try different buttons combination and you'll be able to boot to your ROM, recovery, bootloader or anything
I have TWRP and LineageOS with Magisk installed on my A50. Normally, when my phone boots, I get the following sequence:
1. Phone vibrates.
2. Samsung Logo appears for a very short time, with bootloader unlocked warning at the bottom.
3. A screen showing a bootloader unlock warning at the top and "PRESS POWER KEY TO CONTINUE" appears.
4. After a while or if you press the power key, an additional unofficial software warning appears in red letters at the bottom.
5. After some time the phone continues to boot normally.
My problem is that after the latest reboot ("reboot into recovery" via power menu), it gets stuck at step 4 and won't continue to boot, neither recovery nor system, even if I wait for tens of minutes.
What I've tried:
-reboot with volume +/-/poweroff
-reboot with volume volume -/poweroff
-all of the following with and without USB connected to PC:
-power/volume +/- at boot, both starting after logo screen as well as starting before logo screen, as well as releasing power at logo screen
-power/volume + at boot, both starting after logo screen as well as starting before logo screen, as well as releasing power at logo screen
-power/volume - at boot, both starting after logo screen as well as starting before logo screen, as well as releasing power at logo screen
-volume + at boot, both starting after logo screen as well as starting before logo screen
-volume - at boot, both starting after logo screen as well as starting before logo screen
-volume +/- at boot, both starting after logo screen as well as starting before logo screen
None of these helped. I just get the normal sequence 1-4 and then stuck every damn time. Can't get into recovery or download mode. Can't even power off, obviously.
Is my phone gone for good?
same **** here. for me i cant charge the battery too. but before that with about the same problems i got it to work again for a few days.
now hangs on step 4

With some help I managed to get into download mode, and from there reflash stock rom with ODIN.
Basically, you need to reboot the phone with power/vol+/vol- and as soon as the screen goes black, you release power but keep pressing the volume buttons, and also immediately connect the USB cable with the PC. Timing is key.

Btw, I've it just in 1 time =))
I got a way easier Method which has saved me several times
Is something i came up myself
Il be as precise as i can be so everyone understands!
1.Plug the phone to the wall (Your charger to the outlet)
2. Hold Power And Volume - (Volume down) until the phone shows the second charging animation (Which is the one after the first image of the phone charging [A circle with the lightning icon in the middle], this second screen shows a charging animation and the percentage of the battery) This indicates that the phone is fully Turned Off
3. Unplug your phone and the charger off the wall and bring it to your computer
4. Plug your cable to your Computer then back on your phone Hold Volume + and Volume - (Volume up and Volume Down) and plug your phone to your computer WHILE HOLDING BOTH VOLUME BUTTONS.
This little trick will put your phone in download mode so you can restore your device using Odin OR Flash Twrp with Odin and boot to right into Twrp (There is a way to do it without turning the phone on and having to go back to step 1, Follow this Tutorial to do it

I Hope this helps you all
And Happy Flashing!
