I used the xperia root tool to root my phone and everything was great until I decided to flash a kernel.
The phone won't turn on when i press the power button it vibrates and nothing happens.
I can enter fastboot and flashmode but anything I try to flash fails.
I would really appreciate some help, thanks.

As far as I know you need an unlocked bootloader to flash a custom kernel. You can find answers in the Q&a, help and troubleshooting thread. Lots of topics on rooting and stuff. Just use search.

So you bricked your phone huh? That's a shame. I've only bricked a phone once, back in 2007 I accidentally wiped the NAND completely on my Sony Ericsson Z800i, and then rebooted it...
So, are you gonna buy a new Z1 Compact or are you done with Z1 Compacts now that you've bricked yours?

I don't agree. He can try flashing the original ROM via fastboot. He can do some research in the thread I pointed out. No need to give up just yet. And no need to be so rude, if someone tries to help.

Alright, I was a bit rude, but people keep using the word bricked wrong and it annoys me.

Yes. But it wasn't me. Still I think it can be called a soft brick, maybe.

I know it wasn't you, I was just sarcastically reminding you that his phone is "bricked" (hence the [/s] at the end). But it was uncalled for anyway, My apologies all round.
Possible phone states the way I see it:
Brick - Literally unfixable.
Soft brick - Broken but fixable with special tools.
Not booting - OPs phone.
People shouldn't be assessing their phones as "bricked" because it implies there's no point to their post.

It's the same where you posted your question. I'm sure you will find a solution to your problem there.

Could be completely unhelpful but I had similar after I rooted mine, I hard reset the phone holding the off switch down where the sim card goes and all was good. Sorry if youve tried that.

DLI-L42 Boot Image

Hello everyone,
I've recently unlocked my Honor 6A pro boot and since then, I have this annoying message appears every time I turn on my device tells me that my device is unlocked and not trusted. I tried everything to relock the boot again but I failed. It seems that I have to reflash the boot I'm going again to get rid of this message.
The problem is that I don't have a stock boot image and I can't find it anywhere !!
Could any one help me please to re-lock the boot again ?
Note:
Device is rooted and I can't un-root it neither.
Thanks in advance

Any ideas please ??

Try the general android forum once you're able to post. I don't think you'll find what you're looking for, here.

Question My phone is completely effed up now....

Locked my boatloader by mistake now it won't boots I need help ASAP.... I'm losing my mind over here I need someone to help me please for the love of God somebody... Just bought this phone for like $1,000 and now I'm looking at a ****ing brick......

no worries, you technically cant brick it that easily.
Check the MSM thread for your exact model and follow the steps get it back and running again.

^ Yeah an MSM flash will have you right as rain. Just wondering how the you locked the bootloader "by mistake" that seems like a difficult mistake to make.

was trying to restore and forgot how op works lol...i got it fixed now. while your here, how can i flash twrp and flash a rom? having issues with this now..

Anybody have any ideas of how I can ROM my phone? Been sitting here trying to do it for the last I don't know how long now

So I'm not sure about YOUR phone, if you have a recovery partition you can just flash recovery, if you don't have a recovery partition then you need to fastboot boot twrp first. And there are a few ways to flash a rom, my recommendation would be Fastboot Enhance I personally haven't tried it yet but it seems to work pretty good and even though it's in the 8T category it should work fine. Now one thing that is noteworthy with Fastboot enhance though is that it flashes the current slot instead of the inactive slot.

Question Anyone bricked/EDL/9008 their ROG 6?

Follow and complain here.
Let ASUS know their bootloader implementation is VERY NOT FRIENDLY to us. I've been modding my Android devices since the Android 2 era and this is the first time I encountered an UNOFFICIALLY UNRECOVERABLE state which is a HORRIBLE experience.
Me? Have played with
Samsung(S5 to S9 and Tab/Odin is a good thing)
XiaomiRedmiPoco(Main device for me today, very modder friendly and robust)
Huawei(Remember when they allow applying for BL unlock?)
Apple(LOL jailbreak from A4 SoC until iPhone X(meantime Samsung S8 looks gorgeous) lost my interest)
And various small brands or exited market big brands(honorable mention Lenovo LePhone C101. My first smart device/Android and received big community support at the good old time)
ASUS. Fix your buggy BL. Fix your policy. Release everything we need to fix OUR DEVICES of OURSELVES. Just ONE step closer to perfect.

Just imagine how stupid is this:
Everytime you want to update you operating system, your UEFI/BIOS firmware might break.
And worse, that you don't have free official resources to fix it?
And can it be worse? Yes! Your Warranty is maybe void because you may unlocked bootloader, now supposedly only ASUS service center have the file to fix it.
Ha now it's interesting. That's the era of ANTITRUST. Even Apple won't do it(Worst case DFU, easily fixable using OFFICIAL iTunes).
WT*?

yeah dude i'm bricked up rn

Paid here, paid there.
Yeah sure.
Exploit people.

Perhaps instead of ranting about asus, you could tell us what you have done exactly to brick your device, and someone might be able to help you ? can you get into fastboot at all?

EDIT: quoted content removed.
Never use this firmware, because it has not been modified, 100% of fingerprints and IMEI will be lost after use. You need to modify the firmware before you can flash it.

Ok, yes you definitely should not do that
So just wondering, you went and grabbed some img files and made the decision to flash them, why is this any fault of asus?

1\ The fastboot code in their bootloader have bugs, any CORRECT command you type can easily break bootloader then stuck you in 9008.
2\ The normal update method failed because THEIR UPDATER did do things wrong.
3\ They refuse to provide official ROM to let yourself fix it. SEND IT TO ME TO FIX IT, AND I MIGHT CHARGE YOU SOME.
....\
N\ You go talk to Apple about it because they are experts about saying YOU USED IT WRONG.

Anyone asked for help gets it for free so far.
All devs on my chat group agree at least fastboot flashable should be available on the official download page.

Did you manage to unbrick your phone?
I managed to semi hard brick my phone. Can get into fastboot but unable to start recovery mode from fast boot and phone doesn't show up from adb devices.
I guess I'll start a new thread but any tips?

If you can boot into fastboot you can just flash the RAW ROM file available a few days ago. It's not bricked in this case.
