Hello all,
I really need help for my ZE500KL. In summary, it stucks on ASUS logo and bootloop. I can't get to welcome screen.
It is not rooted, i've never touched to the original system. I got this problem after an update from OTA. The update was not interrupted for information.
I can get to the recovery menu, can do a wipe data/factory reset, but it solves nothing. Same problem.
I've tried :
- apply update from adb but this stops at 46% and failed with an error like E:failed to verify the whole-file signature
- apply update from microSD but it stops and failed without error message
I don't know if there is another way to fix.
Thanks
Bro go to the asus site and download the whole rom nd flash it thru recovery.
M also had a same problem.
So let me know nd which variant u hav?
Thanks for the reply.
When i said "I have apply update", this means that i've downloaded zip file from Asus website, and loaded it via the recovery but the process stops at 46%.
Maybe it will work for a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP but as i know, there is not a working CWM or TWRP for ZE500KL at this time. Maybe.
For me, the stock recovery don't work for loading the zip file from ASUS. It says something like : Unable to verify the whole-file signature, Process failed

If your device stops at logo this means that it boots into fastboot mode. I`ve had a same problem. You can take this adb driver . After installing you need to put in C:\adb file boot.img from archive which you dowloaded from official asus.com, then run cmd.
Code:
cd c:\adb
and last command will be...
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
try it.

I tried. It doesn't work.
I proceed like this :
1- I've booted the device in recovery mode, connect it to PC and uninstall the device and his driver in to the device manager. I do the same in fastboot mode
2- I've installed the 15 seconds adb ver 1.43. As it is recommanded, I force install of drivers to "Android ADB interface" for recovery mode and "Android Bootloader Interface" for fastboot mode. At this time, adb detects the device via "c:\adb> adb devices"
3-I've extracted the "boot.img" from UL-ASUS Z00E-WW-12 8 5 106-user.zip from Asus Website
4-No problem to proceed with "c:\adb> fastboot boot boot.img" BUT that's all.
--> The device boots, passes the ASUS logo with the powered by android at the bottom", arrives to the second ASUS logo (the one animated), then there are messages "Android upgrading, optimising 1 of 1 app", "Starting apps", then it reboots, and bootloops .... again and again. I have to take out the battery to turn it off.
Have you tried downloading the full ROM image from the ASUS support website again? (yes, download again and try flashing your device again). Usually when it says something about signature verification failed, it is due to the incomplete download of the ROM image (corrupted), or that it has been modified.
Do report back the results.

I's been thinking to this ...
I've downloaded 3 times the ROM from asus website. The download procees has been interrupted because of internet problem but i was able to resume after. I've even downloaded previous version. I am able to extract the zip file to my computer without error like cooupted file or CRC..
I need to know if other persons have the same problem exactly with this ZE500KL because, i have recently done the same thing with my ZE551ML and i had no problem.
Have you tried flashing the previous updates (software versions) instead? Could be a "bogus" update.

Yes. Same problem with .172
I was been delighted when i see this TWRP for ZE500KL http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-2-laser/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-0-recovery-t3319704 and it works,
But my joy was so short.
It says that it was unable to install the ZIP file because the ZIP is for WW_PHONE, and my phone is an OMNI_ZE500KL !!! What is this ? Never heard about it before. What's weird with this AUS ZIP file !!!??
Can you try to ADB Sideload the ASUS ROM?

Never heard about this OMNI SKU before.
If someone else has the same exact phone with you with a different SKU (perhaps WW?), you could try asking him to backup the recovery.img on his phone for you to flash. After that, just flash recovery via fastboot and you should be good to go.

Stock recovery (and TWRP):
https://github.com/sabpprook/android_device_asus_ze500kl/releases
Guys I Found The Solution For This Problem :
1-Flash TWRP Recovery From The Link : https://github.com/sabpprook/android_device_asus_ze500kl/releases
2- Wipe Data and Cache And dalvik Cache and Very Important (Wipe System).
3-Flash Back The Stock recovery From The Same Link Above.
4-Flash Your .zip Stock Frimware From The Link : https://www.asus.com/support/Download/39/1/0/20/KsY29RCpsJ2bea9O/32/
5-Please if this Helped You Press Thanks! Button And Enjoy.
The Trick: Stock Recovery Cannot Wipe System But TWRP Can.
P.S: You Cannot Flash The Frimware From TWRP ... It Will Give An Error.
Enjoy

My 501CG is in a bootloop and can't go to recovery.
The device can be detected by adb but I can't sideload anything. I've tried everything I know but couldn't fix it.
I tried to post a screenshot but the forum won't allow me and I can't explain what the problem looks like so I don't know what to do now...
Please help me. Thank you.

Can you go to fastboot? Adb still reconize it then go to ADB and type adb reboot bootloader then try to flash the recovery and factory reset. If the problem still exist after factory reset you will need to look up for system.imgs files for the zenfone 5 and flash the system imgs from fastboot

Thank you so much for helping me.
When I type adb reboot bootloader, it says <waiting for device> and stays that way.
I have a screenshot of the error but I can't post the proper link. Here's a modified version of the link, just replace the <dot> with a period I guess if that would work. That's the only way I can show what happens to the phone.

Sorry, I'm also not very familiar with how adb, fastboot, and whatever else works, but I learn fast and can follow commands.
Well the mmcblk1 partition i think is messed up @dgadelha can you help us with this?
Hey there!
Thanks @ChristopherXI for noticing me.
@Teks0427, can you please try this guide? It will rebuild your partition table and install Android 4.3.
Hope it helps!

I'm so sorry for disappearing all of a sudden like that. I had to attend to a LOT of things and I totally forgot about the phone.
I'm gonna give it a go tonight and post whatever happens here right away.
Thanks guys! I really appreciate the help...
Hi! The phone won't go to droidboot mode. PressingPOWER + VOLUME UP brings me to the Asus bootup screen (sometimes with a black background and sometimes with a blue one) and the words
CSC Mode
long press power key to restart system
And sometimes it's just the normal Asus bootup screen (and gets stuck there). On that CSC mode screen, plugging in the USB and typing "fastboot devices" does nothing
D:\501KL>fastboot devices
Booting up in recovery mode works, and when in the recovery mode menu page, typing "fastboot devices" still does nothing but typing adb devices gets this response:
D:\501KL>adb devices
List of devices attached
051c7013 recovery
D:\501KL>
Running (as administrator) the file sec_offline_update_image.cmd from the recovery menu page gets this response:
D:\501KL>fastboot oem backup_config
< waiting for device >
And it stops there.
Also, when plugging the USB cable to the phone, it starts installing an "MTP USB Device" but always fails after a few minutes.
I already tried bringing the phone to the accredited Asus Zenfone repair center here in the Philippines but they said they don't have the firmware to flash this model. They didn't give any explanation nor did they refer me to anyone else who might know how to fix this thing.

Read his problem carefully.
He has a 500KL not a 500CG.
That guide will not work
Apologies for saying thus but if there are no RAW firmware of the LTE model. It's pretty hopeless

The sec_offline_update_image is for A500CG/A501CG only.
I'm sorry but I do not own an A501KL so I can't help you with that.
And if ASUS can't help you, sue them for that.
Bro You Should change your """Title:501CG Can't mount /cache/recovery/log ... etc"""
Yes, I'm so sorry. I noticed the error in the title just now. I got confused with my 2 Asus phones that I put the wrong model in the title. Stupid stupid me...
I'm so sorry for the mess.
Thank you all for your help...

Hi,
I was at work Sunday night when the phone offers me an update, not wanting to lose my data I re-growth that has Tuesday morning during my last round (which takes me roughly 25/30 minutes ). So I run the update and go round when I come back I have the phone on the screen of blocked boot ...
Considering I'm looking since yesterday, I have already tried many tutorials that did not work.
I tried everything flashed like to start from zero but nothing worked. I have every time a message like: failed can't install image not signed OR dtb not found ...
I have access at fastboot and nothing else.
There's way to save this phone I for 3 months or it is good to wedge a table ?
Thx in advance
edit :
ok, i do this
http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2015/10/how-to-root-asus-zenfone-2-laser-ze500kl.html
and this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66894780&postcount=5
and i have now acces to recovery mode
Edit 2 :
http://www.asuszenfoneblog.com/2015/04/how-to-flash-asus-zenfone-2-via-adb.html with the firware Version V13.10.7.1(Andriod M) https://www.asus.com/support/Download/39/1/0/20/KsY29RCpsJ2bea9O/32/
but after reboot i have the message : ERROR : Can't load invalid boot image !
i lose th recovery and i can't flash the boot ( remote dtb not found ) ...
edit 3 :
the phone has restarts with the original firmware but I have so manipulated that I do not know what I did
I remember using the following links : http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2015/09/how-to-flash-asus-zenfone-2-laser.html ans the stock rom for 550KL
when I reinstall the rom of origin, such would not boot and I had to boot the mod_boot.img picture (Flashtool boot mod_boot.img), which launches the phone and now more problem. It remains to remove the root which should be easier than the rest.
@Genux888 This link takes to ZE500KL's firmware downloads https://www.asus.com/support/Download/39/1/0/20/KsY29RCpsJ2bea9O/32/
Your phone model is ZE550KL but you first attempted to flash MM ROM of ZE500KL
Thats why you got error: invalid boot.img and you lost recovery.
I don't know where you got mod_boot.img from. Neverthless, here's the simplest fix-
1. Download ZE550KL's Stock_boot_recovery.zip
This zip contains stock signed recovery.img and boot.img. Extract it and copy both .img files to the folder where you have adb and fastboot files.
Download correct firmware for your ZE550KL of the correct SKU. You can find your SKU on your phone's box.
WW SKU : Download ZE550KL's firmware v1.17.40.1531 for WW SKU only
Let me know if your phone's SKU is not WW
Copy the firmware zip (UL-Z00L-WW-1.17.40.1531-user.zip) to your external sd card.
2. Connect your phone to computer and Reboot phone to fastboot mode.
3. Now run the following commands
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot oem reboot-recovery
3. Third command should reboot your phone to recovery mode.
Now, in recovery mode-
A) select "wipe cache partition" then select yes
B) select "apply update from sdcard" then select "UL-Z00L-WW-1.17.40.1531-user.zip" and finally select "yes"

E: Can't open /asdf/recovery/last_log
This shows that I am able to wipe cache after mounting /system (though it doesnt make sense)
I didn't wipe data as I don't want to setup my device again. You may try if wiping data works after mounting /system. Alternatively, you can flash stock 1.15's recovery (download from post #2)
and flash in fastboot mode using
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(assuming you recovery.img file is present in the folder where you have fastboot files)
And, here on XDA, we hit "thanks" good button if a post was helpful to us.
Sorry to reply so late but I managed to unlock my phone has put version 5.0, the update to 6.0, UNLOCK the boot, root the phone and install the TWRP may close 2 or 3 hours after my last post.
thank you.
i really like it when people post all the steps taken and links in their problem posts.
this is great.

@sziraqui My phone is in a bootloop and I honestly know pretty much nothing as to how to fix it.. I know it's the ZE551KL, but that's pretty much it. Is there any way youcan help me out? thanks in advance
Stock recovery for MM?
Anyone have stock recovery for MM upgrade from LP?
Problem Not Solved
I am Also facing same type of problem but the difference is :
- I am only able to enter fastboot mode only when i am connecting my phone to pc via datacable.
- After flashing recovery.img and boot.img also i am not be able to go to recovery mode..
Can someone please Help..
I've seen you've tried a lot.
I'd suggest you try this... As long as you can send your phone to fastboot and can pc/add your way through you'll be able to unbrick it. This takes a bit of time as you'll be dealing with two huge downloads (system.img and stock rom) but it should do the trick.

The guide at https://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-80274-1-1.html talks about flashing boot.img first then a huge (1.7GB) system.img second then recovery.img last.
So it could mean the boot.img and system.img needs to be dealt with first before you have any chances of getting your recovery to work.
Follow the steps closely, I've been able to fix a brick with it twice.

Flash Stock Recovery to be done to make Flash official rom first official rom files onto the MicroSD example, I was. UL-ASUS_Z012D-WW-13.20.10.79-user. To change its name Then insert the MicroSD MOFD_SDUPDATE Recovry Mode, then select update to zip and then choose File. "MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip" I will wait a little longer for the update firmware and set up virtually everything is not lost through the OTA.
ผมเคยเป็นแก้ไม่ยากใช้ TWRP แล้วเข้าเมนู Wipe แล้วเข้าเมนู advanced Wipe ทำการเลือกทุกหัวข้อ ยกเว้น MicroSD และ Otg แล้วจัดการ Wipe ครับ!! เสร็จแล้วให้ทำการ Flash Stock Recovery เพื่อที่จะใช้ Flash official rom ก่อนอื่นทำไฟล์ official rom ลงไปยัง MicroSD ผมยกตัวอย่างเป็น UL-ASUS_Z012D-WW-13.20.10.79-user ให้เปลี่ยนชื่อเป็น MOFD_SDUPDATE แล้วนำใส่ MicroSD แล้วเข้า Recovry Mode แล้วเลือก update to zip แล้วทำการเลือกไฟล์ "MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip" แล้วรอสักพักอาจจะนานหน่อยเพราะเป็นการ update firmware ข้อมูลและการตั้งค่าทุกอย่างจะไม่หายเสมือนอัพผ ่าน OTA
I was able to fix my phone with flashing both boot.img and recovery.img with stock image and i used WW-13.16.5.36 firmware to flash and it's worked.
Thanks for the help JadeKubPom

Hi guys,
I try to restore my Zenfone 3 with his original firmware downloaded from Asus website. [Version WW_V13.20.10.79]
When i restart my phone, i got the first warning to let us know the bootloader is unlocked but after i got this error.
Code:
The dm-verity is not started in enforcing mode and may not work properly

If i try to flash with TWRP with Install Zip, i got this error:
Code:
...
This package is for "WW_Phone" devices; this is a "omni_ze552kl".
Updater process ended with Error: 7
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/Download/<nameOfTheZipFile>.zip'
Updating partition details...
...done
(sorry i can't post image)
when i try fastboot recovery, it stuck to <waiting for device>.
This is my first time with Android, and rooting and all this sh*t. I'm coming from iOS jailbreak side but iTunes couldn't help me.
If you need to know anything, let me know.
I would greatly appreciate if anyone could help me.
Thanks!

I found a solution, and now my ZF3 is working but its showing a second screen with a error when it boots.
1 - download a zip file rom from asus site
2 - open it with winrar or another of your choice
3 - go to \META-INF\com\google\android
4 - open the updater-script with a text editor
5 - search for all the words WW_Phone and replace it for omni_ze552kl
6 - save the change and close, update the file inside the compressed zip
7 - put the zip rom inside your phone and flash it through twrp, done!
*sorry about english, its not my native lang.
Hi SuperDizor,
The issues you are having are both caused by the installation of TWRP 3.0.2. that was compiled for the Zenfone 3 using omni_ze55kl as the device type instead of WW_ZE552KL or CN_ZE552KL. I assume that the person that compiled it tried to make TWRP as universal as possible (instead of making two different versions, one for each device type - the TWRP code would have been the same except for this string...). However, the updater checks for this device type string and fails (unless you modify the updater config file as described in the post above). This is also why flashing stock recovery solved your issue.
The second error message you have, the one with dm-verity not being in enforcing mode was caused by having you install TWRP and allowing it to modify the system partition. This was necessary in the past but not anymore. When you flash TWRP, the first time you start it, it ask for your permission the make the system read-write, and you should refuse, as TWRP will function anyway and you will not get the dm-verity error. The dm-verity thingy is a software module in the bootloader (aboot to be precise) that checks the integrity of the system partition. TWRP has to force it in non-enforcing mode since it modifies the system partition and your device would not boot if it left dm-verity in enforcing mode. When you don't let TWRP modify the system partition (ie staying read-only), it does not change the dm-verity mode and you don't get warning messages. Don't worry, TWRP will still enable you to root your device and do whatever it does even if it is in "read only" mode.
Hope this helps !
I just got this error seemingly out of the blue on my ZenFone 3 Laser. I didn't do anything, just walked up and it was showing this screen
Code:
The dm-verity is not started in enforcing mode and may not work properly

Haven't rooted, unlocked bootloader, or tried to install any rom manually.
Same happened with my device too. How did you fix it? Can you please let me know the procedure for same.

but how to flash? its not booting in recovery mode.
this is really funny but at the same its not. so basically i just bought zenfone 3 last night and hard bricked it 3 hours later. LOL.
so i just bought the phone last night. then i upgrade it to official nougat. then as usual i always install custom recovery and root my new bought phone. but when i try to follow the steps from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3/how-to/twrp-recovery-3-0-2-root-zenfone-3-t3569926 i missed the copying of the supersu.zip, busybox.zip, root.zip and noverity.zip part.
so i did unlocked my bootloader through recovery and installed twrp recovery. and then i realised i forgot to copy the 4 zip files to my phone. because after i try to boot my phone the red sign message pop up saying "it says my device is corrupt. it cant be trusted and may not work properly. your device will shutdown in 10 seconds" so basically i just bootloop my phone because i cannot boot it, everytime after that message appears my phone just turned off.
then i copy the 4 files to my internal storage and installed the zip through recovery. and follow the procedures step by step according to this right https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3/how-to/twrp-recovery-3-0-2-root-zenfone-3-t3569926 but i still cannot boot my phone.
then im panic because i didnt slept last night due to my frustation i go to twrp Wipe>Advanced Wipe and i ticked Dalvik,Sytem,Data,Cache and Swipe to Wipe. then i press reboot, then of course it says no OS installed because obviously i wipe the rom, i dont mind because i downloaded both mm and nougat rom from here https://asusvn.com/threads/all-rom-...0kl-zu680kl-zc551kl-zc520tl-zc553kl.1108.html so i thought i can just flash it through recovery right so its like flashing a fresh stock rom. but when i try flash the rom which is Z012D_WW_13.20.10.152 it says "this package is for "WW_Phone" devices; this is a "omni_ze552kl" "updater process ended with ERROR: 7" now what??? so basically i cannot flash the stock rom through recovery because of that.
then how??? pls help me i just bought the phone last night.... :crying:
Wrong way.
Go here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/zen...552kl-t3471524
Download stock recovery.img. flash back recovery by adb command. Enter recovery, install stock rom 152 or nougat you want.
Remember, rom file must be tranfered to micro sd card
Stock ZS550KL

The above links are dead, can someone re-upload.
Good day everyone!
My fellow housemate managed to soft-brick his device and now im trying to think of a fix.
The device used to have Android 7.0 installed (EMUI 5.0). Then he installed TWRP + some custom 6.0 based rom, which resulted in a soft brick.
What i've tried so far:
1. Tried multiple update.app packages (C432B170 and C432B130 SHOULD be the ones i need, since the device is european). Update always fails with message "Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct package".
2. Extracted BOOT.img, RECOVERY.img, SYSTEM.img and CUST.img and tried flashing them with fastboot. SYSTEM.img fails with message FAILED (remote: sparse flash write failure), CUST.img fails with some error connected with partitions.
3. Tried the downgrade package from Nougat to Marshmallow. Update.app still doesnt work with the same error as mentioned earlier, however, SYSTEM.img flashed via fastboot this time, but with no success, system still only boots in eRecovery and fastboot modes.
4. Tried installing multiple TWRP recoveries, none of them seem to work. Device just wont boot in recovery mode.
Any ideas?
Best regards,
Vlad

I had the exact same problem! And I found a fix. Boot into the dload method of updating ( make sure it will give you an error, so don't have an SD card in ) then when it fails reboot. And as soon as it starts rebooting hold volume up, then it should take you to the stock recovery, then just wipe and it should be working! All the best

Booted into Huawei eRecovery and it doesnt give me an option to wipe anything, just "download latest version and recovery" via Wi-Fi, which, unfortunately, fails.

Okay. Try again. This time go into e recovery, then reboot and the second you touch that reboot button you hold volume up. Also one question. Can u boot into fastboot and ADB recognises your device ?

Nope, can't get into recovery, at all. Just keeps rebooting.
Yes, i can get into fastboot mode and fastboot recognizes the device.

Okay that helps a huge load. What you need to do is flash the nougat ROM again. You need to put the rom files into the root of ADB install location (program files/ Minimal ADB and Fastboot) in zip format. If I'm not mistaken you have update.zip and vnsXXX_Full_data (or something similar).
Then flash the firmware using this command once your connected in fastboot. I'm not sure the command. But I did some googling and can't find a solid answer. I remember doing it but I don't remember the command line.
