ZE550KL bricked ? - Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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"

Hi can you put a link to OTA, I tried searching for it but could only get the full firmware from the asus website.

Removed, putback battery & followed all steps, successfully installed 1531 rom

I did the following-

Input : "mount /system"
Input: "wipe cache partition"
Output: Cache wipe complete
E: unable to mount /asdf
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.
(no, that is NOT sarcasm)

The best solution out there for zoold 550kl
This is the best answer for the rooted asus zenfone 2 550kl for upgrading to marshmellow stock .Thank you...

Help
@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.
Follow the guide here:

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.

Flashed TWRP as boot.img / Now it only goes to recovery HELP ME!!!

Hi people...
Everything was going so smoothly... bootloader unlock... root... some nice root apps... free paid games... and my p8 lite was just feeling so good... until... I flashed twrp with flashify under the name of boot.img... Am I stupid or what?! Now I can only get 2 scenarios... when i turn on the phone it goes directly to twrp. In twrp i get the option to go the bootloader screen... If I choose system it goes back to twrp... I can't get it to start. I downloaded the official tar.gz from emui site but I dont know how can I install it. PLEASE HELP... What should I do in this case?! I miss my baby...
Thanks in advance
You have to restore stock recovery in fastboot mode.

How do I do that?! If I wanted to wipe my phone completely and re-install the OS would be better to do it using twrp or stock recovery?
Thank you very much
Sorry, i misunderstood. If you flashed twrp as boot.img, reflash stock boot in fastboot mode.
flash stock boot.img in fastboot mode
and then flash twrp as recovery
will be like this
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
fastboot reboot
use the boot.img from stock rom and twrp image you downloaded
Oh no!
Now I made some serious **** to my baby... guess now i'll have to send it to huawei to fix it. I made a full wipe like if it was format c: in computers... everything is gone (i didnt had any personal data) it doesnt have OS even. But when I still had twrp i tried to flash boot.img and recovery.img and now when i start it goes directly to bootloader screen but saying "please update system again" and where it used to say phone unlocked it now says (in red letters):
Error!
Func NO: 10 (boot image)
Error NO: 2 (load failed!)
I was able to get to eRecovery with usb connected but when i choose to download e install the new version it gives me the message "wifi starting failed".
It also does not get any instuction with fastboot. but hi suite starts when I connect it. Strange?!
What do you think? Should I send it to huawei? Or is it possible for me to make it work again?
Also tried UPDATE.APP function and all give me fail message.
I'm going crazy!!!! But I love to mess around with android... To me this is the android essence. Fortunately I have a lumia for when my baby doesnt work.loooool
Thank you all
I don't understand why you don't use fastboot. Everybody told you to use it. In our phone situation, without custom kernel or rom, twrp is for experimentation and you cannot mix things.

Well, you warned me... but sometimes i do these kind of *****... So, in this situation you think it's better to send it or is there way to fix this.
By the way, when I enter huawei eRecovery and I get the option to download the firmware through wifi and it says wifi starting failed, is there any way to make this work? And to fastboot do we need to open cmd as administrator to make it work? Because if Hi suite detects the phone I should also be able to fastboot it right?
Thanks for your patience

hello I have p8 lite unlocked and rooted, yesterday I wanted to install the TWRP 2.8.7. but I was wrong and I installed twrp for the p8 and not p8 lite.
When I go into recovery mode my phone locks that read huawey, I tried with fastboot command to delete the wrong recovery and install the right of the p8 lite but the result does not change, my phone locks that read huawey
i think The commands that you wrote and that I have quoted are also fine for my case, it's' true?

Hi everyone!!
First of all, thanks to everybody who helped me with this situation.
I now am using my baby again as if it was new. I wiped him completely as i stated before and it was as easy as finding the right firmware (136a) and using the vol down + vol up + power button technique. I put the UPDATE.APP file inside a folder named dload in sdcard using other phone (with my p8 was impossible). After that rebooted the device, pressed those 3 buttons and the instalation started successfully.
I just cant explain how happy i was. I stayed 3 days without it.
After that I have been messing with fastboot so thanks to everyone who made me realize that i didnt need to do all of this, but well, A full wipe is always welcome.
Is there any custom kernel on the way for overclock my baby?
Please explain to me how do I put SOLVED in this thread as my problem is already solved...
Thanks

Just download your firmware version, use huawei extractor to extract boot.img,cust.img,recovery.img and system.img
After that,download mininal adb fastboot copy you files into fastboot folder , enter fastboot mode on your phone and from fastboot folder,open cmd and type these commands:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
After this your phone will boot normally. Once you've done this, copy update.app to your sdcard or internal and install it by local update. Once you've done all this,your phone is fine.
May I know how do you wipe your internal storage? and what if after wiping, im unable to get into recovery mode? does it mean phone is not usable anymore?
SOLUTION
Hello. I'm the bigest mess on androids but i know that flashing stock recovery can remove any TWRP/CWR. If its too powerfull flash stock boot and run fastboot -w.(fastboot -w erases all PERSONAL data)

Help installing a ROM.zip from ASUS on ZE500KL

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.

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 !!!??

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.

Hi all i just bricked my phone : P9-lite VNS-L31
I managed to unlock bootloader, install twrp and get root permission. Phone worked great. Then i tried to flash xposed and the operation fails due to not enough memory space (!! i have 6gb) and get stuck in bootloop. I made all the possible things i knowed. Tried to use xposed-unistaller.zip (getting other errors like: "no such file o direcory") , wipe cache,dalvik and data and i try also to reflash stock recovery, and to relock bootloader (i can't do that.. why? i get FAILED <remote: command not allowed>) because erecovery and HiSuite can't restore my phone. What can i do?? It's a simple bootloop but i cant restore it. Please help me i have just bought the phone and now i'm very desperate.
I really hope some can help,
Thank you

So, i think i can help you to fix your phone.
First of all you need fastboot. So check fastboot drivers on your pc and make sure they work
Now download the stock firmware for VNS-L31 here : http://www.androidvillaz.com/2016/0...vns-l31-to-marshmallow-6.0-b100-firmware.html - It's the only version ready to download and an asian version but flashing only system you'll not notice it. All languages available, no differences at all.
Download and install this tool : http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3262545
So using something like 7zip extract the UPDATE.APP file in your desktop for example.
Launch HuaweiUpdateExtractor and select the update.app.
You need to extract SYSTEM.IMG so right click on it and select extract selected.
Now, turn your p9lite in fastboot mode (power off, press vol - and power) and connect it to your pc.
Now launch this : "fastboot flash system "PATH/system.img" " . Remember to replace "PATH/system.img" with the path of your extracted system.img file including the name of the file.
Wait about 3 minutes.
When flash finalize, boot in recovery. Wipe cache and dalvik and reboot your smartphone. It should boot now.
If not, perform a full wipe. (cache,dalvik and data).
Hope this can help.

You need to extract SYSTEM.IMG so right click on it and select extract selected.
Now, turn your p9lite in fastboot mode (power off, press vol - and power) and connect it to your pc.
Now launch this : "fastboot flash system "PATH/system.img" " . Remember to replace "PATH/system.img" with the path of your extracted system.img file including the name of the file.
Wait about 3 minutes.
When flash finalize, boot in recovery. Wipe cache and dalvik and reboot your smartphone. It should boot now.
If not, perform a full wipe. (cache,dalvik and data).
Hope this can help.

with pressing volume - and power i enter into erecovery from there i should use fastboot to flash system.img ? sorry for being dum
edit: when in erecovery (volume- and power) typing fastboot flash system with full path , does nothing .. only saying waiting for device
edit2: no matter what i do , i cant fastboot flash system .. waiting for device .. only thing i can do is enter TWRP (also got root) , enter Erecovery and thats it .. phone only boots to huawei animation along wiht sound and thats it .. i tried adb sideload from TWRP but no help also .. guess there is nothing i can do right ?
Edit3: so i booted via TWRP to bootloader , used that fastboot command , flashed system , wiped cache , and now it is looking that phone is booting up !
thanks bro , any way i can pay you back ? cus you da MVP here !
EDIT4: well phone booted , rebooted , and now i cant enter recovery it boots into erecovery and i cant do nothing else
EDIT5: got into fastboot menu in phone , it says update system again , Error Func NO : 10 (boot image) Error NO : 2 (load failed)
EDIT6: somehow made it into fastboot , somehow flashed recovery , managed to restore my phone from back up , but sadly enough i cant restore it via google , since when i try to log in it says waiting .. dam this phone . i had galaxy S .. got this huawei just for pokemon go (which is pretty ****ty without gyro) FML right
EDIT7: lost most of my hairs .. some of them were ripped out in some anger explosions .. chewed of some of my nails .. but somehow i made it ! now if i only could unroot and relock bootloader xD think im gonna take a break for now and when my nerves will calm down i may try it again . Rly wanna thank you from all of my heart for help , thanks !! your the best man , thanks again

Hi, if you don't know what is fastboot maybe you can approach it the easy way.
Download and install this for the correct drivers : http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_en/index.html
Download and extract to a folder this : https://mega.nz/#!B4tATA5D!-TseQ9A-TPEQhzNQRXsT_cV2i4T7qYYLadceW0fM8k0
Put your phone in fastboot mode : Turn it off. Connect it to your pc . Long press vol - and power until it boots in fastboot mode (white screen with a green android and other stuff). If you want you can boot in fastboot from TWRP recovery : restart -> bootloader.
Copy your extracted SYSTEM.IMG in the root path of the tool (we can assume its name is system.img).
Now launch the tool and press 000 and enter.
If you have done all right now you can give this : fastboot flash system system.img
Wait about 3 minutes. Perform a cache and dalvik cache wipe. Boot your phone.

So, i think i can help you to fix your phone.
First of all you need fastboot. So check fastboot drivers on your pc and make sure they work
Now download the stock firmware for VNS-L31 here : http://www.androidvillaz.com/2016/0...vns-l31-to-marshmallow-6.0-b100-firmware.html - It's the only version ready to download and an asian version but flashing only system you'll not notice it. All languages available, no differences at all.

Hi,
I am using the standard P9, and getting the Boot Loop also.
I attempted your instructions, and appeared to work - I got the first EMUI initialization screen - and now its gone back to how it was.
Any suggestions?
I think it should work on every phone assuming you are using the right firmware. Do you use the right firmware for the huawei P9 ?? (needless to say it's not the version i posted)).
So if you flashed the right firmware (and i'm pretty sure of this) my advice is to perform a full wipe : Cache, dalvik and data.
If you are still facing the same error consider flashing other frimware parts like boot.img ecc.
I believe so - I am pretty clueless with this stuff.
By firmware, do you mean the stock version? Because I used P9-EVAL09-EVA-B136. Don't suppose you would know the right firmware I require?
I think it's the right version. I am a p9lite user so i don't know specifically the right version of the firmware but i think it's ok. Do you tried a full wipe?

How can I perform a full wipe? Thanks for replying by the way
So, do you have unlocked bootloader and custom recovery (TWRP) ?

I do yes
So, go in twrp recovery (turn off phone, long press vol up and power for at least 3 seconds). When you are in you will see 'WIPE' press it then do the swipe to Factory Reset. You will lost your installed apps and the relative settings but you will not lost your personal stuff such photo,music documents ecc. Let me know if you perform it and if it works =)
It appears that TWRP no longer appears. I get thr EMUI options to wipe data/factory reset. But once I do this I just get a red exclamation mark.
Does the phone need to be plugged in via USB?

Hard brick ?

Does ADB fastboot work?
I have the same problem, my phone goes only on "download mode " (Power button, vol+ and vol -). If i connect it to PC, i can hear the sound when a usb device is connected
Try this... Extract the sdcard...
Put it into another phone...in the sd card...create a folder and call it"dload"...in that folder put the UPPDATE.app file from the last Marshmallow update.
Extract the sd card from that another phone and put it into the P9 Lite. Shutdown the phone...and then press volume +,volume - and power at the same time till start. Let me know if that work later...

I had the same thing with mine, only way of getting it back to life is with the dc phoenix. 15 euro later and the phone was back to erecovery screen in about 3 minutes.

Hi, my problem is with the L31,
I've trying to downgrade from Nougat to MM. I saw on the thread this steps and i followed:
"Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot flash system system.img
Fastboot flash cust cust.img (This one is in the second zip from badwolf nougat download)
Then I flashed badwolfs recovery b2 as that one lets me transfer files from pc to phone and followed instructions from htcmania from here".
The problem is that i didn't reach to downgrade and when i try to reinstall Nougat by TWRP i get this error messages:
" E: Unknow comand (errno) update_huawei-pkg_from_ota_zip: update package from zip failed"
"Updater process ended with error: 7
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/DLoad/Update.zip'
Updating partition details...
...done"
Now my phone stays freeze on the huawei logo and the flashtool doesn't even recognize my device.
Can someone help me with this matter, please?
Thanks

ZE550KL Bricked. Help!

So I was trying to get my firmware updated on my ZE550KL but it was showing a consistent error. (E Unable To Mount /asdf)
When I checked up how to flash the firmware manually, I saw a guide showing how to do so but would require to manually erase system and asdf folder from fastboot. I did so and went into recovery mode to try and update from sdcard, but in vain. So I tried to flash the zip file from adb sideload but it was showing the error : * Cannot read Update.zip *
So right now, I'm stuck with a phone that won't boot and the firmware zip, I do not know how to proceed, I'm pretty new at this. Please help! Thank you
Edit :
Specific details :
I have the following with me :
ADB / Fastboot
UL-Z00L-WW-21.40.1220.2153-user.zip
boot.img and recovery.img of build 1531 (Lollipop)
Same problem
