Bricked phone after software update.

Dear XDA members, my friend have bricked his phone after trying to update to lollipop 5.1.1 from 5.0.1.
Error message: "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.location has stopped"
I have wiped cache via recovery,boot into safe mode, and even factory reset wipe data but still getting the same error.
I have searched for ways to flash stock using google/xda and i was instructed to download the stock firmware and flash via adb in recovery.
However in my recovery, there was no option to "Update via ADB".
The only options available are, 1)reboot system now 2)Apply update from internal storage 3)Apply update from external storage 4)Wipe data/factory reset 5)Wipe cache partition 6)Apply update from cache.
Current phone model Asus A500KL, WW variant ( i suppose? got it from recovery version as stated below.)
Recovery version 1.8 KOT49H.WW_Phone-11.4.6.94-20141218
From here, i believe the updated firmware the phone is running on is 11.4.6.94, and thus, i have downloaded 3 version of the stock firmware to flash, UL-ASUS_T00P-WW-12.4.5.58-user, UL-ASUS_T00P-WW-11.4.6.88-user and UL-ASUS_T00P-WW-11.4.6.94-user
I also have the downgrade version from Android L to KK which is WW_A500KL-11.4.6.94-20141218_M3.5.22-ota-user.zip
I am uncertain which version will unbrick the phone and put it into the brand new state. (Also, please tell me if the version i downloaded is correct for the phone)
*All of the versions are downloaded from Asus itself.
I would appreciate if someone can tell me how and which version of the stock rom to be flashed.
*Note that the phone is stuck at the error i have mentioned above, and there is no option to sideload or flash via adb in the recovery. It was running on android 5.0.1 before the update, and the 5.1.1 update caused it to be soft bricked.
Will it be possible if i were to just move the 11.4.6.94 downgrade version into my SD card and choose on "Apply update from External storage?",, likewise for the other older version?
Would it be wise if i were to flash the same version again (not the downgrade version) and see if it works?
Does it sound like a Hardware of software issue?
Any reply will be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried reflashing the firmware?

Ps: i am the OP friend with the bricked phone
I am unable to use the phone at all
That is my question.
Which version should I flash via adb Fast boot ( I don't have update via adb option in recovery).
Will it work If I transfer the same firmware version to the phone sd And update from there? ( does same version allow update from external storage?)

Try flashing UL-ASUS_T00P-WW-11.4.6.94-user via adb sideload.

i mentioned twice in both the first post and the 3rd post that i don't have that option in my recovery. I only have update from cache, update from internal storage, and update from external storage. I would appreciate to know if using the apply update from external storage option would fix the phone as the version number is exactly the same and thus, it would be not installed as it is not "an update". Currently we do not have an sd card with us, and is unable to push the file into the internal memory, so would really appreciate if someone can guide me on whether getting an sd card and moving the same firmware version into the sd to apply update from external storage will works.

Need help - how to get from CM13 to CyanogenOS (Stock?

Hi all,
I need your help - I installed the CM13 official, but I'm not happy with it and want to go back to CyanogenOS (Stock). I already downlaoded several files, but the sideload fails with "incompatible file system" even after factory reset.
My guess is that the CM13 bootloader needs to be downgraded, but I don't know how to do that. But that guess may be wrong....
Any help appreciated - device not working right now except for recovery & fastboot.

Have you tried with qfil?

Just download the cm-12.1-YOG4PAS3OH-ham-signed-fastboot.zip and extract the recovery. Download cm-12.1-YOG4PAS3OH-ham-signed.zip too. Flash the COS stock recovery with fastboot. Then boot your phone up and do an adb reboot recovery. Go to adb sideload mode and do an adb sideload cm-12.1-YOG4PAS3OH-ham-signed.zip in Terminal or cmd. Wait until it's finished. You should be back on stock rom. To download the file just google for Cyanogen OS support. You will find the files to download.

Ok so as per my understanding , you have unlocked bootloader .
You also have custom recovery twrp 2.8.7 installed . Right ?
Since you wipe system , your phone is without any os right now .
So now what you do is download any stock modified rom for your device .
Download latest twrp by xanwar . Flash the twrp zip (by xanwar)from twrp 2.8.7 (already installed ).
Voila ! Now you can flash any custom rom or stock based modified roms .
I don't know this is what you asking

I don't understand the logic behind not enabling usb debugging !
No need for all that .
If using windows then make sure the all driver shows up when you enter into fastboot mode .
Check from control panel of your PC . If not then reinstall the drivers . It must show asus composite ...........Blah Blah blah ...Android bridge interface .(well i use Linux so dont recall properly ).
Once the desired drivers are present you are good to go ahead .And flash proper twrp .And do the rest .
Bottom line :check drivers
Flash the latest twrp (24 July build) link below

Bootloop after uninstalling Xposed + Firmware upgrade encountered issue

Hello,
I'm really desperate right now and would highly appreciate your help.
The background is the following:
several months ago I've flashed Cyanogenmod 13 on my Note 3 (N9005) using TWRP (via Odin). The system has been working perfectly. In addition, I was using Xposed (Version 89) without any problems. However I decided to uninstall Xposed today using its uninstaller, but I only got a error message ( I don't remember its content, it was saying something like ' can't rename... /lib'.
Well, I then tried uninstalling via recovery which resulted in a bootloop.
I watched some YT-videos explaining how to bypass Xposed in TWRP, so I went to download mode and tried installing the TWRP with stock_kernel_twrp_1120-signed-for_Odin (the file I used the first time). This step failed. After restarting my phone it's saying: 'Firmware upgrade encountered issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again'.
I don't know what to do now. I simply want to install a working TWRP to save all my files and recover from the bootloop. What matters the most to me is to recover all data on the phone (videos, pictures, files etc. which unfortunately I haven't backed up).
I'm able to access download mode (home/power/volume down) but I don't know what to do to get a recovery/TWRP.
I'm not doing anything right to avoid further harm and wait for your advice. I'd be most grateful if you could help me.
Thanks in advance!

Ok, flashing both twrp-2.8.7.0-ha3g.tar and then twrp-2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4.img.tar resulted in the herein before mentioned problem (stuck on Samsung logo).
I now flashed successfully n9005-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.4 and it's backed up everything.
I then tried uninstalling xposed via recovery with the uninstaller.zip on sdcard, but got this error message:

rig': No such file or directory
E: Error in /data/media/0/Android/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/cache/downloads/framework/xposed-uninstaller-20180117-arm.zip
Any ideas how to fix it? Or do you recommend wiping everything and flashing a new ROM (e.g. MagMa NX ROM)?

FOR THIS ONE ....
i think you need to pull battery out just after successfully flashing TWRP 2.8.7.0
when ODIN flashes recovery and says passed. pull out battery immediately. don't let the phone boot/start. wait 10-20 seconds. re-insert battery and try now booting in TWRP.
