Zenfone 5(A501CG) unable to flash via adb sideload - Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently I had an update from ASUS and at that time I had root on my device...So I guess my phone got brick due to updating while having a rooted device...I have tried all the steps of flashing via adb..Did "fastboot flash boot boot.img" , "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"...All goes well...
Now the problem is when I get into bootloader(Power + vol up)/recovery/apply update from ADB from my device and on my PC "adb sideload filename.zip" it just does nothing...My cmd just waits and same goes to my device all it is written are
E:Can't open /tmp/update-script.log
Now send the package you want to apply
to the device with adb sideload(filename)"...
EDIT-"adb devices" doesn't recognize my device only "fastboot devices" does
I hope someone could help or maybe lead me to a post which has the same problem...Or maybe I need to send my phone to Asus Service Center for this issue...My bet now if this doesn't works I would try to flash some custom ROM maybe

First step backup u r data by twrp custome recovery..then go to link
www.google.co.in/url?q=http://www.w...ggOMAE&usg=AFQjCNHyTiR4lWYSzNkTaJO83PBJIf9Buw
U r problem will solved
NOTE: U MUST RETURN TO U R STOCK ROM THEN APLLY KITKAT VER 2.20.40.53 THEN LOLLIPOP 3.20.40.52 THEN GO 30.20.40.78...

Same problem with the op. i'll follow the steps u give in the link but it still failed. its says (E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log), (E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log), (E: failed to mount /cache), and it keeps repeating for (/cache/recovery/last_log), (/cache/recovery/last_insta). So, how do i fix it? anybody knows?

[Q] problems with CW [SOLVED]

EDIT:
In my humble opinion, there's a new blade around, since all the sources for recoveries on english websites don't work with my 256mb "new" blade (jan 2012), while many people using older chinese blades from china unicom can use all the software found online.
flashing re regular cw with rom manager, adb won't work and give errors later shown in this post.
the only recovery i found that will actually work and let me install another rom is a recovery i found on a chinese forum.
downolad this recovery: http://dl.dbank.com/c0sw12amzu
chinese forum: http://bbs.anzhi.com/forum.php?mod=v...fromuid=423904
in that forum u can't see the download link because you have to log in and write a message in that topic in order to see the link.
to flash this recovery go to this thread, page 3 first post and follow the instructions from matt4321.
I am waiting for someone to try with "new blades" with the same problem as mine.
ORIGINAL POST:
hi everybody, i tried to look also in the forum with the search and i didn't find anything relevant...
i have the blade from china unicom, i rooted it and installed cw. everything was almost smooth (i downloaded the wrong z4root, but then i got it right).
when i tried to make a backup or anything else vis CW it shows me this:
E: can't find misc
E: failed to find "cache" partition to mount at "/cache"
E: can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: can't find misc
E: failed to find "cache" partition to mount at "/cache"
E: can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: failed to find "cache" partition to mount at "/cache"
E: can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E: can't find misc
E: failed to find "cache" partition to mount at "/cache"
basically i can't do anything. i can't even make a factory reset.
what went wrong?
thanks to anybody that can help me.
Flash cwm using rom manager again
i tried but nothing... :/
thanks by the way.
Does anyone knows how to install CW via adb? i found how to do it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852905 but i have no idea how to download the latest cw for my china uni blade.
thanks if anyone has some hints!
Are you sure you installed the right version of CWM according to your phone's GEN?
Sent from my Blade using XDA app
well, i guess so, my phone is gen2. i installed cw from rom manager, i just selected zte blade. i tried to reinstall cw, to reinstall rom manager, tried to dowload cw with wifi or data internet connection, same result as 1st post, or either like phone stuck on start screen when booting into cw (but the phone was working).
btw, i am using the latest cw.
i wonder what's wrong with my zte :/
Do not use CWM's latest verson

I guess that there's nothing wrong with your device. My Blade is similar to yours (256MB RAM) and the last version of CWM does not work: I even can't enter recovery mod with it. The solution is to use CWM version before the last one (5.0.1.0 I think).
You can easily install it via ROM Manager: Just go to the last option (CWM all versions and select the desired one).
[]'s
Ah, the Best rom so far to our stripped Blade in my opinion is Squadzone's CM7.2.0 RC 5.6
5.0.1.0 isn't working... could you please check which one you have on your blade?
btw thanks, i didn't see that option in ROM Manager!
i am trying with the 5.0.0.8, just in case... i hope it will work...
edit: no, it doesn't work... :/ i'll try with the previous one. with 5.0.0.8 i can't even boot in cw.
Anyone has a tip? it really doesn't work. i really have no idea how to do it via adb, if this could fix the problem.

I guess the only option for you is to try Amon RA recovery. I don't even know if it still exists. Check out the CM wiki regarding flashing. It might be there.

the problem is that i can't enter recovery mode (i can, but i can't use it) and i can't get the "green android" screen.
to my extent, i have no way to write anything via usb onto the phone. am i right?
i tried all of the cw versions, but all of them give me the same error i posted in the 1st post...
I think CWM can't find your root. Very weird issue. Will check and get back.

Try rooting the phone again! I had problems with my sisters blade when Z4root wouldn't perm root, only temp root (even if i pressed the perm root button).
Use zergRush to root again (or something similar) then flash CWM again through fastboot or adb
z4root actually works, apps that need SU enabled work also when i restart the phone.
zergrush doesn't work. everything seems fine but in the end the phone is not rooted.
plus, i can't use fastboot or adb since the recovery mode does not work, so i have to reinstall it from rom manager.
and yes, i tried to root it again, but with z4root, but nothing.
You should be able use adb with the phone on. Make sure USB debugging is enabled. Install drivers, use adb to reboot into bootloader, then flash cwm through there. Maybe there is a problem with the way rom manager is trying to flash cwm.

it could come from root access or you have made a bad manipulation, I have got a similar problem, my recovery has been deleted after have tried to flash one .
thanks matt, but I still can't do anything. adb command works from command line, but fastboot is not working.
the device is recognised when i type "adb devices" when rebooting in recovery, but any commands starting with fastboot give back an error "fastboot is not recognised as a command ..."
maybe it's the way i added fastboot. i found the fastboot.exe and put in the android-sdk\tools folder. even if i restart the pc it's still not recognised.
but if i go in the folder where fastboot.exe is it works, well, kinda, because "fastboot devices" gives me nothing. "fastboot \?" gives me the list of every option i can use, but i can't use them.
i guess it is like this because when i reboot the pc says there are no drivers for the phone. i actually tried to give him the drivers that come with the android sdk and the ones from zte, but both of them do not work. I guess that with the right drivers it will work, but i have no idea where to get them. am i right?
thanks for the patience.
i almost forgot, usb debug is enabled.
i found some drivers here: http://android.modaco.com/topic/319156-winxp7-zte-blade-drivers-and-adb/ and now it's recognised from the pc as "android bootloader interface", but fastboot is not working, it doesn't see the device. :/

Okay so it seems the issue is that fastboot won't work and there's some drivers issue!? I remember a while back when i had issues with getting fastboot to work with my ZTE blade, I can't remember where i got the drivers from but recently got my Xoom and the drivers installed from the device wouldn't work, so used koushs drivers for his tether app which worked, give those drivers a go but for ZTE of course, http://www.clockworkmod.com/tether/drivers
you could also try flashing CWM via adb which is what I used to do when I had issues with fastboot, i've got the instructions and commands saved on my computer if you want me to upload them? but then again a google search would probably produce the same results but i've used these before and know they work.
EDIT: also after rereading what you said and saying fastboot isn't recognized as a command (sorry if this is a dumb point) put when in the command prompt you are changing the directory to where the fastboot file is located right?!
as I understand, adb can't flash the recovery, only fastboot.
the drivers are working, windows xp recognise the phone both in recovery and in bootloader mode.
yes, i am running fastboot from the path fastboot.exe is located.
with google the only thing i get is rebooting via adb into bootloader and use fastboot...
so far no luck...

Hello!
I have a big problem in my zenfone 5 , I hope someone can help me.
Next , after the last update sent by ASUS My zenfone is simply paralyzed the logo of the manufacturer.

Okay so let's do this, using the ADB 1.0.32 ( I downloaded here on XDA ) I tried to perform the update with several different firmware , but when you get 55% have to return the message " COMMAND NOT FOUND " and the cell appears the logo of broken android
Please help me, how can I fix this. :crying:

To fix your issue, you need to:
1) Update your Recovery to the Latest STOCK version
2) Reinstall your ROM downloading full firmware from ASUS site
The issue is that your ROM/Recovery is not up-to-date to run the update package.

have you found a solution to your problem ???
I am also facing same issue while updating with adb sideload..
if you have got a solution please post it..
Have you tried to acces fastboot with the adb command: adb reboot fastboot ?
Then you could try again to flash your updated recovery.
There is a CWM modified recovery you should try.

It sounds like your SD card is not working because of reasons...
Try flashing TWRP from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-twrp-root-t3405701) with fastboot. Take the recovery image out of the extracted SRKTool Huawei.
Name should be twrpp9mm.img
Report back if you are able to access recovery again. From there you should be able to recover.
Afaik it is not possible to just reflash EMUI 4 after having updated to the Beta of EMUI 5. Once you have a recovery going, try to follow the exact steps of downgrading that are here on the forums.

[ZE550KL] Can't Unlock bootloader/ install twrp/ install any rom

Hi,
My ZE550KL was locked in boot with this message: "Security Error: This phone has been flashed with an unauthorized software & is locked", so i followed some tutorials and was able to install TWRP recovery (i had bootloader already unlocked). Then when trying to reinstall stock rom, i realized i had to reinstall the stock recovery. I did it and installed the stock rom with version matching with the stock recovery i installed(UL-Z00L-WW-1.17.40.1531-user). Everything was going ok, but when my newly installed stock rom was popping multiple apps stopped working an i was unable to basically do anything. So i tried reinstalling stock rom again, but this is when things collapsed. As i entered recovery to reinstall the rom, it has lots of errors from partition cache
Code:
E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid argument)
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
. This same errors happens when i try to wipe it from the recovery, but when i erase the cache partition on fastboot it says "OK". I also tried to reinstall twrp, but apparently my bootloader was blocked again, and it says it is flashed when i try, but when rebooting it boots again on stock recovery.
So i tried just booting twrp, but then it says my bootloader is blocked and can't boot twrp. Also tried sideloading stock rom from adb, but it gets the same cache partition errors. I tried
Code:
fastboot -w
and it says OK but the cache partition errors are still there. I also tried
Code:
fastboot erase ASDF
and i get some errors.
TLDR; I'm stuck at a cycle where i have to remount cache and all other partitions via TWRP, but i can't install TWRP because my bootloader got locked again and i can't unlock it because i need to install some rom to do it, but since my cache partition is destroyed i can't install anything, neither via fastboot on pc nor from recovery on the phone.
Did you tried the unoffical unlock way? It can done via PC in fastboot mode. Also did you tried `fastboot format system` kind of commands?

Damn! I just noticed that you will need to be in system to gain root access. I guess then it won't work. I suggest to try `fastboot format system/userdata/cache` way as it fixed my issues with partitions multiple times.

It's because you don't have any recovery or ROM on your device. Try flashing stock recovery.

Well, i tried flashing all stock recovery versions i could find, but none of them worked. I guess my phone is dead.
