I Made A Terrible Mistake! - Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there!
So, I'm using Zenfone 5 (2G) Running on Official Lolipop
I had my phone bootlooped back in that time, then I flashed a wrong recovery version, it was KitKat version that I flashed, I got into Recovery Mode.
I tried to sideload update packages (both KitKat and Lolipop ROM) and it showed me some error like can't mount /cache (invalid arguments), I expected this as losing partition (If I'm not wrong)
And now I can't even get into droidboot at all, here is the responds from following things I do :
Recovery button combination : Works (Gets to the recovery)
Power button : Shows USB logo
Droidboot button combination : Shows manufacturer logo forever (Stuck)
But, as I said, I tried to sideload the packs and it fails...
Could someone help me? Maybe some easy way to fix this? For a note, I tried bunch of tutorials to fix my device, the last one was xFSTK thing.. I followed every single step correctly and ended up with an error.
Thanks before

Try this:
Download a flashable custom rom, put the rom *.zip file in the same folder with ADB.
Go into recovery TWRP, connect your phone to your computer.
Push rom *.zip file to your phone's internal storage with this command in ADB:
push [file.zip] /sdcard/.
Then flash that rom file with TWRP.

Well, sir, how can I get into TWRP? I can't even droidboot... My recovery that I flashed was stock

deleted.

Basicly the procedure to debrick is same. You need to load bootloader temporary since you have a broken droidboot including your partition. I already have same problem with you before.
Yeah its different, you cant use ww to fix this. Find on official zentalk tw forum for complete detail. Shakalaca post that.

Thanks a lot!
Anyway, I've got few questions left..
Yesterday, I did download zip files from this debrick thread (Should be familiar with you) http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5/help/debrick-asus-zenfoen-5-fastboot-t3377455
My question is, does this work the same as your files? And, could I do something about it? Like re-use by recycle again the files I've downloaded with something that might help my phone? You know.. 900 MB is not something very small for me.. And maybe I could download separated files that is required.. And make the use of Debrick files I downloaded?
And.. May I have the link of Shakalaca's post, if you don't mind? Thanks a lot, like a lot!

Hey um, I followed the Debrick one. The problem comes when I ran Debrick.dat, from the Cloverview mode (Press vol down and connect to pc). While the Debrick program runs, the phone "boots". Shows up USB logo and it goes red. Few seconds after then, the program closes, leaves the phone on red USB logo. Is this something normal?
Btw that link can't help.

Didn't you try reboot from bootloader. If it solves, it means normal. You must thank to intel for this problem.

that video is outdated and would never work on kitkat if you want custom recovery and can still boot into your phone(android os) then try AutoRec it is the easiest/only way to get recovery on kit kat

Yes i used the power+volume up button combination and it went in download mode, than the screen changed and showed "Firmware update" beneath it: "Do not unplug the USB connection until the prcess is complete." Is this the donwload mode?
The link with the recovery back to stock ROM seems complicated with lot of steps. Can i instead go for a google edition rom (such as EHNDROIX V) instead of the stock ROM at this stage?

yes that's download mode and that is not like flashing a rom through recovery that is the only way to get your phone back to working condition and method 3 is a batch file which does it all for you

Thanks a ton for helping me.
I guess i need to accomplish those 3 steps:
1.2). Firmware Files HERE! KitKat 4.4.2 Firmwares
1.3). Download R&D FlashTool (offline fix) & LGMOBILEAX: HERE & HERE
1.4).Download Drivers - Click Here
Than Method 3 from the link you provided.
How do i do it exactly? Drivers i have already installed the rom is downloded. Step 1.3 is not clear how it works togehter with Method 3?

after you install the r&d tool and lgmobilelax you just have to run the batch in method 3 and everything should be done automatically

Thank you, thanks a lot.
Rooting worked, checked it afterwards with an root check app.
Also installed the AutoRec successfully with the apk file, i did run it after inszallation and everything. But i want to test it whether it is there, how can i check it? I held the power+down keys but its an white screen: "Factory hard reset" below it: "Permanently Erase user Data & Reset settings?" and below this: "Press power key to confirm, and any other key to cancel". Seems not like recovery with a lot of options touch buttons and things. How can i check for correct installation of the AutoRec?

oh to confirm if custom recovery installed correctly on the factory reset screen click power button 3 times and it should boot into custom recovery or download an app from playstore like rom manager and use the option reboot into recovery

you boot into custom recovery by turning phone off then hold volume down+power it will show factory reset screen then press power button three times and it should boot into custom recovery from there you wipe data/dalvik/cache then flash modem/rom/gapps and reboot

[Q] LG G2 bricked and can't flash stock firmware!

So I'm really into Android developing, I'm always flashing and installing etc, but I got a problem now.
Phone information​
LG G2 D802
Rooted
TWRP Recovery 2.7.0.0
Was running 4.4.2, found a kdz file on the internet and flashed it (no regular update from my phone)
What happened​I actually did something stupid, I received an application update from the LG Download Center (or whatever it's called) on my phone and clicked on it. I was planning on flashing Android 4.4.2 again because my firmware was not stable, and I thought this update could help me.
But no, after it finished downloading, I automatically booted into recovery.
What I did​So I tried to reboot and enter my OS, but unfortunately, I was stuck in recovery.
I did everything I could, wiping (Dalvik) cache, factory reset, flashed a new rom, restored Nandroid backup, but no, every time I booted, I got back into recovery again.
I only saw 1 option left, booting into download mode and flashing a new firmware.
I found the Netherlands 16GB kdz file for Android 4.4.2 (because I had a French one first), the one I was looking for.
Looked all over the internet, and all guides pointed me to this guide.
Tried it, but I got multiple errors, one of them was that my phone was not connected while I was at 15% of the flash process.
What happened​After that first flashing process, I booted up, but got a Security Error. After the Security Error was showing for 5 seconds, my phone shut down. This is happening every time I try to boot up.
I couldn't access my recovery anymore, nothing. Edit: I can access my recovery right now, and I tried this, but when I boot up I get the Security Error again.
The big problem right now is the Security Error! How do I bypass that?
So can someone please help me out!
Several phones/tablets of mine bricked and I always found a way to get out of it, but not this time, unfortunately...

Yes, I actually have. Didn't mention it, but after I did that I booted and got an LG logo and below it was a text that said 'Security Error' After like 5 seconds the security error goes away and my phone shuts down. I can only enter download mode right now.
I'll edit my first post with this info.
Thanks for the help though!
Edit: I find a way to access my recovery again because at first I couldn't but I figured out that the code in the thread you linked was a bit different than the code I entered at first.
So I used the code you gave me, but now I get the Security Error again!
Hi mate, just like you i downloaded that damn OTA today and messed up my phone, but in my case was because i had totally forgotten it was rooted and had custom recovery installed :silly::silly::silly::silly:
I followed this tutorial to fix the boot secure error http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 and it worked like a charm except for download mode wasn't working at all.
After doing some research i found this post http://forums.androidcentral.com/ge...ricked-lg-g2-stuck-twrp-no-download-mode.html and got download mode (apparently) working again but Windows didn't recognize it at all so i couldn't use it to flash the .kdz stock firmware.
In the end i just flashed a custom aosp rom and got my phone back to life but the download mode issue it's still there and it's bothering me quite a lot.
Any suggestion is welcome.
EDIT: Don't download the recovery from the post, instead look for the latest version (2.7.0.0) because the one posted there (2.6.3.2) might corrupt your partitions

Thanks! But does my internal storage get whiped? Will all my pictures etc. be gone?
And the first thred removes the security error right? And after that I can just boot into recovery mode (I can boot in recovery btw) and flash a new rom? Just wanted to know this so I don't go through all that trouble for nothing
Edit: You know I can enter both download and recovery mode right?

Nope internal SD remains intact, basically what you'll be doing is pushing the right files into the system partitions and yes, in theory you should be able to flash a new rom.
Even if you can boot into recovery you should do it if you're getting that error, and after that you can just push a ROM file to flash (i'll assume you know how to do it) and btw let me know if you decide to flash a stock based rom instead of an aosp like i did.
Good luck with that :good:

also tried the drivers, and stuff from this page : https://elephonemobile.eu/t/how-to-root-latest-elephone-p9000-stock-rom/34
I have : Elephone_P9000_20160628 does this have to do with it ?
and i now tried a wireless update... to 20160715 but it says, it will restart in recovery mode to do the update, but then the phone keeps hanging on the ELEPHONE logo... so i can not update the phone anymore apparently... ( so something is done to the factory settings :s but not the TWRMP )
i'm gonna try now the scatt file from my firmware build that i downloaded here : http://www.android-hilfe.de/thema/o...-p9000-p9000-lite-uebersicht-download.785193/
did not work, but now i have the original recovery back on the device, and now i can do the wireless update to 20160715 so i now have latest version of my P9000 firmware... but now... still my main question how to root it that TWRP works
Help !!! i don't use the phone untill i can install xposed framework and Xprivacy on it

Flash magisk via TWRP.
Hi.
I think my problem is unusual.
I try to install TWRP and/or root my device.
I red a few instructions in german and english.
And still nothing.
Details.
1. I have the compilation: from 2016.08.10.
2. Updater says I have new soft. I can download it 100 times. It says "downloading", then "installing" and "rebooting" but in the end nothing changes: still the same rom, still I can download and install this new soft (from 2017.1.12, 927,13 MB).
3. I can open the recovery mode. This is impossible for this device. Power+UP, Power+DOWN = doesn't matter. I see something like bootloop, but after 10-20 seconds the system is rebooting normally. No recovery.
3A. I didn't find an extra settings in "Options" which give more possibilities during turning off (for example: "restart in recovery").
As You see I can't make the backup (nesessary for me) that is why I didn't try "factory reset".
4. Instructions from Internet didn't work:
a) "MT65xx USB VCOM DRIVERS" installs some drivers but I don't have "Ports (COM&LPT) for Windows 10,
b) "SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1640_Win": no scatter file, don't know how to make it, the file from Internet didn't help,
c) "SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1640_Win": I can't tick "recovery" and any other option,
d) "Mtk_Droid_Tool_v2.5.3": it doesn't show any informations about the device.
As You see I can nothing with my P9000.
Do You have any ideas?

551ml Bricked after updating to new offical MM build. (help pls)

Hello guys, I noticed this morning that MM was officially released today. I followed the steps on to update my phone. I downloaded the rom for 551ml put it on my root of my internal storage, after that a pop up showed that there was a system update. I did the update and now my phone wont turn on now. It vibes twice and nothing comes on the screen. I have no idea how to fix it. I was on the latest firmware that system update would give me (184). If someone isn't busy could they possibly help me out. thx..

I think mm system.img boot.img splashcreen.img need mm bootloder to run and at the moment twrp doesnt work with it, if you install mm via twrp you only updating these img and bootloader still lp that causes your phone cant boot. (Correct me if im wrong)
So now you need xfstk downloader to recover your fastboot and then flash .194 raw firmware using asus flash tool then adb sideload mm firmware from stock .194 recovery, theres guide how to do that in here but im forget where
Sorry my english are bad too..

I used XFSTK to upload firmware etc... but after upload firmware, the phone will vibrate twice and download of OS will not start... the soft will try 20 attemps to connect with the phone and the OS part can't be download on the phone... I'm stick at this point.
Hello guys, i'm trying to unbrick my phone, i'm following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenf...l-usb-t3405840 but when i get to the end of te install of intelSoC my device is detected as Moorefield for like 4-5 seconds and then it disappears.

I did this morning and it worked. Im on 6.0.1 now, I guess the cause of my brick was that I had TWRP installed. Now I know next time to remove it before updating lol.

If you don't need to use twrp everyday (maybe just a backup from time to time) you'd better keep stock recovery and whenever you need something from twrp, you just boot into it without flashing with the usual "fastboot boot twrp.img" command. That way if you ever upgrade again you don't have to remember whether you removed twrp before. But that's just an opinion, since if done that way, you'd need to have yor phione hooked to a computer to get into twrp, an that's not always possible.
thanks

Huawei P8 L09 bootloop after trying to root, please help

Hello all,
I needed to root my phone (P8) in order to install some applications for file recovery. I did the following:
1) I unlocked bootloader (by obtaining the key on huawei pages, going to Settings, Developer options, USB debugging, HiSuite installed to get drivers, ADB Fastboot v.1.4 installed, volume- and power on. I got to the fastboot&rescue screen where after using the command in ADB Fastboot I gained "Phone unlocked" message)
2) I installed the TWRP in the phone (thru the Spanish console)
3) I copied UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79.zip to internal memory
4) Volume+- Power on and got to the TWRP console where I chose install the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79.zip
5) everything looked fine, so I rebooted. Now I have looping logo and I am unable to unbrick the phone.
Any help please?
Thank you
Are you able to start your phone into TWRP?
Sometimes it is a little bit tricky! (hold Volumen-Up + Power, if the phone vibrates release the power button, keep holding the Volumen up button and release it if the Huawei logo disappears)
I have the same problem, and I can't get into TWRP

Hello,
Thanks for your answer. Yes, I am able to get to TWRP
Ok, what build version is on your P8 ?
Also what TWRP version did you flash ?
These answers are important.
Ps:-
If using B398 you MUST use the latest versions of TWRP and SU.
Just follow the instructions in post #1,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p8/how-to/rooting-huawei-p8-marshmallow-emui4-0-1-t3431249
TO THE LETTER, using these linked to files (TWRP and SuperSU) and, hey presto, a fully rooted P8.

Hello Sparkrite,
the version I guess (I am not 100 % sure but I remember that I upgraded over the air about two months ago) is B397 and I installed TWRP version 3.0.2-0
Before I progress any further, tell me if the combination is wrong or I can follow the link you posted.
Thank you
You have absolutely nothing to lose by downloading and flashing the versions I have linked to.
Do so and let me know how you get on.

e) I rebooted and ended up with the following error message
Error!
error func No : 10 (boot image)
error No : 2 (load failded!)
I tried the steps c and d but still the same result.
Can you please give me further help?

Start again and use option "A", Rooting in systemless Mode (by maintaining the original Stock-Kernel.
Thais is the method I used on B398.
Less chance of anything going wrong............
BTW, I can't see an option "D".

Not to worry, have you done a stock update to B398 ?
And if so does the phone boot up correctly ?
This is what I meant by "Start again".

No, I just flashed the SU and twrp. Can you give me a hint where to search for the European version. All I found was a newer version than B398 or other regions.

You are the HERO! I am in! Although still the phone is not rooted at least it is working (which means "great to see it up and running again") :victory: :highfive:
I do not know why but Google never showed me the page you posted in its search results (maybe it is the new way of "personalizing" results) or any similar. It was always something from other regions or something which was full of ads and not really trustful.
Thank you again!!!

Excellent !!
Its always good to "resurrect" a bricked phone.
Now, if you use the TWRP and SU I previously linked to and Method A you WILL have a working and most importantly a ROOTED phone.
