[Help] Asus Zenfone 2 ze551ml bricked and denies ADB pushed files

Hello, I'm needing some help with my 4gb 2.3 ghz rooted Asus after attempting to installing xposed framework. I'm certain it is bricked. Currently it is still able to charge and access the boot loader, but I am not able to flash the phone. The ADB shell just responds with "Access Denied". The phone was encrypted before I tried the xposed install so I'm guessing it messed up the process and is blocking my from using ADB. I did try factory resetting, but I guess that just covers the user app data. I also had debugging enabled within the developer options before everything went haywire. Any suggestions would be helpful, otherwise I'll just have to send it to Asus support for a pretty penny. It doesn't have warranty and I'm positive they don't really help you when your phone is rooted.

Try to wipe /cache. If it doesn't work, backup all your important data and wipe /data in recovery.

Ok, I did a data factory reset and wiped the cache. The problem i'm encountering now is i get status 7 in ADB when attempting to push a new zip of firmware to the phone. I know status 7 means the firmware cannot be installed due to system modification and root. So i'm thinking i'll have to reflash a pre-rooted system.img with droidboot.img and boot.img (recovery is functioning properly so i don't believe that i will need to flash recovery.img) I am also having a hard time finding detailed guides concerning flashing images and getting the zenfone 2 into fast boot. I did try a fastboot reboot fastboot command, but i,m thinking i'm missing a few important details on prerequisites to flash the phone.

What adb command you ran? It should be "adb sideload filename.zip"
If you can't, rename your firmware file to mofd_sdupdate.zip, copy to external sdcard, boot recovery then it will install install the zip automatically. Root using temp cwm/twrp.
If the above method doesn't work for you, flash a pre-rooted firmware.

My oneplus3 seems to be in system encrypt itself, kick me out of system, brick,help!

I live in Taiwan and order my oneplus3 from China, but not from the official seller
Jindong or oneplus site but form 3rd party seller on Taobo, which is in Shenzhen.
Thay have sold hundreds of oneplus3 and have most high praise in Taobo- Shenzhen
My oneplus3 take over 7 days shipping to my hand.
While I 1st unbox my oneplus on 9/6 , it has already bootloader unlock and TWRP 3.2.0 installed. As you know, the 3 party seller sold me the used device, but it's not fake, it has full package and correct IMEI with it, I also cheked IMEI on oneplus official site.
I have no choice but jut to accept a used device with new-one price.
I immediately update to official TWRP 3.2.1 and install freedomOs CB 1.6, XPOSED, rooted, everything looks fine.
But after 4 days uesd, while I change system font with ifont and it won't boot to system, jut stuck at 1+ boot screen, after
a dozen of secnods , automatically boot into TWRP , it even can't boot into TWRP , just hang on TWRP logo,
Fastboot flash other version of TWRP, still can't boot into both system and TWRP.
After fastboot flash stock recovery, it can boot into recovery, and then flash TWRP -> boot in TWRP. But still can't mount system/data/cache, some boots even unable to mount internal storage.
(While on stock recovery, ADB sideload OTA.zip from official site always stuck at 47%)
Fastboot erase usersdata and TWRP format still don't work, no lucky, can't mount system/data/cache.
I ask my colleague hand carry my oneplus3 during his business trip, return it to the 3rd party seller. The 3rd party seller only took 3 days to ship to oneplus to fix it and return to them, and .. return to my colleague.
While my colleague got the phone, it work fine with bootloader lock, Chinese H2 OS for more then one week.=>( So that it's not the hardware issue, not internal SD Corrupt?)
I ask he to test it as he can, after 2weeks. He come to Taiwan and bring it to me. He dose not find any problem with daily use on bootloader locked H2 OS.
When I got the "return" oneplus 3 ,
fastboot unlock booloader->
Decrypt follow this: Decrypt OxygenOS without losing data
i also see this:SOLVED][TWRP]Unable to Decrypt Storage
I think is might be CB rom Unstable and encryption issue.
So I install FreedomOS 1.6 and decrypt data this time.
But guess what happen!?
It have happen again and again more then 5 times -
no flash anything, no reboot, just in system used-> got lag->got black screen-> got reboot->unable to reboot system-> unable to mount/wipe/restore data/system/cache in official TWRP.
The only solution seems to "fastboot format users data" , then I can mount/restore/format data/cache/system , till now, i am confused, I don't know if its software or hardware issue, I just spent too many hours on it!
Please help, any advise is welcome...and.. sorry for my English, tried my best.

This issue is really weird.
Can you share the logs given by TWRP, with the kernel log of your twrp recovery.
To do:
Code:
adb shell
dmesg > /tmp/dmesg.log
exit
adb pull /tmp/recovery.log <path_on_your_computer>
adb pull /tmp/dmesg.log <path_on_your_computer>
All theses things needs to be done directly in twrp, adb is needed.

If you want to boot into system after decrypting it, you have to flash supersu, otherwise OOS will encrypt itself at next boot, causing a brick. Also try the modded version of twrp.

I can't see any errors here, can you try to capture the log after you get the same error in your twrp.

For more information: I didn't try to decrypt data before my oneplus3 return to China, I did decrypt it after it return form China, and I only flash freedom OS 1.6 with systemless SU t and stock (patch) kernel, than flash EX kernel, i believe both of them is patched, disable force decrypting.
My decrypt sequence: Unlock bootloader->fastboot format users data-> flash freedom1.6 with systemlessSU let it boot without configuration ->work fine for 3 days and brick after 4 days used with serval times of booting.(less then 5 times)
Every time before my oneplus3 get this type of in-system-used-brick, I see some root access issue or permission issue, that is V4A driver lost, I have no permission to move my files in media storage( for example, move some files from download folder to XpoasedInstaller folder), or Dolby atom crash....
The latest brick, I used my phone on bed for more than 2 hours with no issue, suddenly Dolby ATOM crash, unable to open it and V4a lost its driver, then I try to boot into TWRP to make a boot/system/data backup, but it fail to mount data and system partition.
Even on system-mode SU, It still happen two times of in system brick.
So now i set SELunx permission and do frequently TWRP and Ti-back, I believe It would brick again few days later. At least after many times of Try/error, I can confirm "format uesers data then I can use TWRP for system/data partition.

It happen again while this morning I get up and updating two apps,
It freeze then reboot to recovery, unable to mount system/data again.
I have the latest nandroid data/system/boot backup last night, i believe it finally would be brick again.
Here is the log.
I will keep it in the state, please help, I won't "fastboot format usersdata" this time, till we know the cause, and have your instruction.
EDIT： upload the video, you can see it unable to boot in sysytm, in TWRP can't mount system/data/cache , unable to back/restore/install anything

My friend test with completely stock/ bootloader lock for more one week in Chian (oneplus
service Centre in Shenzhen recoverey it ), every thing is fine just without google service.
Yesterday,I just re-flash freedom 1.6.1 on cleanest status, fastboot formate userdata-> TWRP format (without this both nandroid or new flas rom won't boot up)-- BOOT
After two days used, every things is fine, but just half hours ago my phone brick with all cache/system/data partition encryption while I am in system uesing , I will report detail at night while I have time, i believe I have found the root cause.

Help - Stuck after OEM unlock - cannot format /data ? maybe storage hardware issue ?

[Solved] I flashed Redwolf recovery and could wipe/format data.
Hello,
TL/DR : stuck in recovery due to filesystem issue, cannot format data. How can I solve this ? should I follow this thread [LENOVO P2] Fastboot Files Of Every Stock Firmware (fastboot flash system systemchunk0.img bla bla bla ??)
Maybe it is a hardware issue due to a fall of my phone.
How can I test the storage from adb or recovery ?
Thanks a lot.
Here is the story :
My phone fell and broke screen (LCD broken too - screen was black), it was on stock.
I changed the screen tonight.
Everything seems to work good, but I found that my phone had some little freezes : irresponsive for 1 or 2 seconds when trying to show notifications for eg.
(It is not the digitizer/multitouch which I tested)
I already applied a year ago to OEM unlock.
I followed Lineage OS guide closely to flash TWRP.
(No issue except one or two reboot with stock rom that reinstalled lenovo recovery right after flashing twrp recovery)
When flashing a rom and gapps I saw errors where /data would not mount.
When rebooting I get a message about encryption.
I did not encrypt my phone... (well I think) - I did indicate that my Pin code was needed to boot when on stock though.
Using Wipe Repair option, I changed file system of /data to ext4 - it worked, now I can mount /data ... but I can't wipe :
mkfs.f2fs -t0 -r blabla
gives this "ERROR : 1
unable to wipe Data.
unable to format to remove encryption"
what should I do next ?
thanks

Mi Max 3 6/128 SoftBrick - What to Do?

Hello,
I have a Mi Max 3 6GB/128GB which I got from the UK which arrived unlocked and with Global Stable ROM installed which actually updated to V10.3.3.0.PEDMIXM by OTA - I tested.
fastboot getvar anti shows failed, so I assume no Anti Rollback Protection, which I thought a little strange, it being MIUI 10 with (after OTA) June 2019 security patch.
I spent the last couple weeks setting up the phone to my liking (I have 300 apps installed) and finally finished yesterday.
Then I wanted to uninstall some Google/Facebook/Xiaomi bloatware using the excellent "Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools".
I was pretty careful in my opinion to only remove the safe ones (the tool claims to only show you the safe ones) like Music, Video, MiPay, MiCloud, MiForum, MiSIM and all Facebook in the ADB section of the tool.
The I switched in fastboot and thought it would be a good idea to wipe Cache (nothing else).
Upon restart the Mi Max 3 first shows the black boot screen with unlock written at the bottom, then changes to the normal boot boot screen with MIU and the points at the bottom showing that it is busy booting. It stayed there for a while and I thought maybe it was rebuilding the cache and it took that long, but after 30 min still no luck.
Then I fired up the "Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools" on my PC again and it told me the phone was in ADB mode, I could reboot into system mode, where the same thing happened - no progress in booting.
I cannot turn off my phone either, but I can switch from sastem boot (which gets stuck) into fastboot mode via ADB.
Would someone know what's wrong and what I can do to get my phone out of that bootloop while hopefully maintaining all my data and setups, on which I worked for weeks?
Thank you so much for your help!
P.S .: In case it could help: I could read out the phone properties of the Mi Max using the "Xiaomi ADB / Fastboot Tools" while it was softbricked, meaning the ro. init. persist. sys. and dalvik. values of the smartphone. I am happy to post them here, if requested.

Hi,
Do you have an SD card? If so, remove it, because as you cleared the cache, I think it might be a problem with encryption (lost reference).
In your case, I believe a reset will work again, but you will lose application configuration data. Via ADB you can backup files only.
If you do not have unlock bootloader, be very careful as you will not be able to flash TWRP or others.
Good luck!

Thanks, the phone came from the vendor with Global Stable ROM and unlocked. It may be an unofficial unlock, though I was able to install OTAs.
I don't have SDCard.
How can I do ADB backup?
I was able to flash official TWRP just a few minutes but it couldn't access data, maybe because it is encrypted. Now I think I will try and install latest Orange Fox r10 stable, which I think should be able to handle decryption, so that maybe I will be able to get at my date.
Any other advice?

Hi,
Now that you have TWRP, clear cache / dalvik from TWRP and try starting again, maybe start system.
About copy via adb follows a link below:
https://www.lifewire.com/use-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-4582201
in step 2
"
The command to move files from your computer to your phone is adb push.
To move files from your phone to your computer the command is adb pull.
"
Through TWRP you may also be able to back up. Go to (mount partitions) and select all partitions.
Make sure the TWRP MTP option is on, it will allow the device to be mounted via usb on your computer.
I use TWRP I use nijel8, it works very well.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max-3/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-3-1-nitrogen-t3866084
If you can't launch system, you will have to reinstall the Rom.
Good luck!
PS.
More help for adb.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/adb-fastboot-commands-bootloader-kernel-t3597181

Thanks for your advice!
I first used the official TWRP and I was able to flash it and start it.
But then the wipe of cache and dalvik failed.
And I could not mount data etc..
When I tried to repair the file system with TWRP I got error 255 - unable to repair data from fsck.f2fs.
Then I saw in your signature that you use nijel8's TWRP and I read that thread, and I started to understand, that my TWRP errors most likely originate from TWRP not being able to decrypt my partitions.
However, towards the end of the thread it seemed that nijel8 stopped working on that project and then Xiaomi once again changed the encryption in MIUI 10/Pie and so it was recommended first to use an obscure Chinese TWRP and then to move on to Orange Fox Recovery Project, which supposedly can handle the decryption better. So that's what I got and I am just about to install it and see if I can rescue or even repair anything.
If you have any other tips for me, I would be very grateful.

You have explored the possibilities well, at the moment I dont have more options regarding current system recovery / backup.
The encryption error resolves you by formatting the user partition by TWRP, in the option to format f2fs plus the installation of a custom Rom or Xiaomi.eu.
Look for tutorials and other reviews before testing these procedures.
Remember that there is a big achance of your ARB model as well.
Good luck.
PS. You can try dirty flash. Find an recovery Rom same version, and flash via TWRP.

Formating data not solves.

reflash all partitions through fastboot, preferably use other fastboot rom, next boot to the system, if all ok, flash recovery.
