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?

Open a thread on ZenTalk: http://www.asus.com/zentalk/
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.

After installing twrp using the one click root method, it restarted my V20 and I ended up in recovery mode (TWRP) and unable to boot into the OS. It seems I only have access to fastboot, download mode, and TWRP at this moment. I tried flashing the partitions with twrp, but twrp isn't realing my SD card for some odd reason, and I don't believe theres another way to move the file directly to the phone. I've been trying to work with "LG FlashTool" for hours, and keep getting the same error. Is there a reliable way to flash the OS through download mode? Thanks!
There is currently no way to flash those .tot images. What happens when you try to boot, where does it get stuck?
In TWRP you can connect to a PC and access the storage. Did you try moving the files that way?

I apologize for not checking my XDA notifications frequently enough.
I was able to copy over the .img system, boot, and recovery files to my internal storage when I was booted into TWRP then flashed them in TWRP.
Thanks for the help!

I tried doing this and my system rebooted back into TWRP. Where did you get the files? Also did you ever get the encryption unsuccessful error? Whenever I install a system image or nandroid backup my phone reboots into TWRP.

The encryption unsuccessful error was mentioned in the original TWRP form, you're just supposed to tap cancel and ignore it. It seems to happen every time you boot into TWRP. As for the .IMG files, I forgot where I got these but as soon as I find the post I'll be sure to give the creator credit. These worked perfectly for my H918.
Link to .zip file with the .img file-
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B53iMlcsyyiKenAtT2k5STl0Umc/view?usp=drivesdk
(On mobile app or else I would've embedded it)
Boot into TWRP and push them through ADB into your device, then flash with TWRP. Make sure to flash system and recovery together, THEN REBOOT. If you flash system or recovery apart then reboot it might not work. I pushed them to /data/ and it worked for me. system.img is about 4GB if I remember correctly, so that one took a long time to push through ADB, about an hour and a half, just be prepared to wait a bit. Good luck!

What are the commands to flash the stock system, boot image and recovery through fastboot? Is that what you used?

So I downloaded this file you have in the reply... How can I flash the files in the zip through Fastboot? This currently is the only thing I can boot into to modify the system. The phone boots fine, but I cannot use ADB because it won't authorize the device. I have repeatedly tried killing the ADB server and restarting it, changed the USB ports to no avail... At this point, I cannot boot into TWRP even though it should be operational still.

Which TWRP version do you have? Is it RC8 or above? If its not then you are stuck until the TOT files can be used in LG UP or if we get a KDZ (Havent checked recently if a KDZ is available).
If you do there is a fail safe in TWRP (RC8 and above) that you boot to the LG factory reset and go through with it, TWRP does not execute the command and just boots to TWRP.

ONLY USE THIS METHOD IF YOU HAVE TWRP RC8 OR ABOVE INSTALLED!!!!! OTHERWISE YOU WILL ACTUALLY FACTORY RESET YOUR DEVICE!!!!!
While the device is powered off, press and hold Vol - and Power button. When you see the LG logo quickly release only the power button and re-press and hold the power button (Never let go of the Vol - button) This will boot you into the LG Factory reset screen. ONLY USE THIS METHOD IF YOU HAVE TWRP RC8 OR ABOVE INSTALLED!!!!! OTHERWISE YOU WILL ACTUALLY FACTORY RESET YOUR DEVICE!!!!! Choose yes to both options and you will be rebooted into TWRP. TWRP intercepts this command and ignores the factory reset part.
Will definitely give a shot. Thanks. I'll report back when I get to do it...
what are commands to flash the sys files
so i know my pc is recognizing my device in the attachedpic you can see it shows the correct serial number. Why am i unable to flash twrp unlocked the bootloader after a few tries but no dice with twrp. It says the target file is to large wtf?
Wrong thread.
1st of all I don't think, this thread should be here! It should be In Q & A...
2ndly, give the information about your device bro! Which model are you on!
Check out if you are using the right TWRP for your phone! the problem of exceeding the size happens only when u chose wrong trwp image to flash!

As mentioned before: what's exactly the version of the twrp.img you're trying to flash.
Please download the latest version of twrp for your device here https://twrp.me/motorola/motorolamotogplus2016.html
There are also instructions too.
You can provide us the console output here too(code) or within pastebin if you wish.
Bootloader
Twrp official 3.1.1.0 athene is the version im trying to flash. Its strange on my one plus devices i was able to unlock bootloader side load trwp and root no problem for some reason my moto does not want to play nice.
So now i get greeted with the nasty your device is unsafe because of the unlocked bootloader but i cant flash the official twrp and i thought getting the bootloader code was going to be hard.
Did you try to download the twrp.img again? Maybe your file is corrupted in any way. Original twrp image should be around 12 mb, your screenshot says something like 17mb.
https://twrp.me/motorola/motorolamotogplus2016.html
This is the correct download location for Moto G4/G4 Plus (Athene) devices.
And you could try to flash the recovery via Flashify from the Playstore.
Yes, check your twrp image and try again. Because one time I accidentally flashed twrp for other Device in my device then I got that error. Download the fresh copy of twrp and try to flash it
i installed twrp on my 6p and have got stuck in the google logo. i tried to flash 15.1 with twrp which starts to open but boots back to twrp. i went to the google site to download the factory zip img but when i click on "agree to terms", it does not open. is there any where else to find the factory zip img? i had the same thing happen on my wifes 6p and i had to use the android 6.0 img and sideload to get it operational.

I'm not sure I do it the way google suggests with fastboot commands and phone in bootloader mode. If your way involves a computer just as easy to do it the proper way. ?
i am fairly new to this, i use fastboot flash recovery to install twrp. once twrp is installed i drag and drop the rom and gapps to the phone on my pc. here is what i get when i try to flash the boot loader. i must be using the wrong command.

That doesn't work, because there is no recovery partition, you never flash the the .img on these devices.... Only boot it. That is why there is an installer, it installs the recovery.
Don't use that guide, and back up your data if your phone still boots.
I have a guide here, for the 6T.
I will update it soon, as the latest version of TWRP does work fine with LOS 17.1 and 18.1, doesn't matter. So use the latest version of TWRP.
This post about making your own fastboot ROMs maybe helpful too. Just so you have the latest one. Just in case.
In the guide I I gave you it explains to install the zip file once in twrp after booting with the image to make it permanent. That's why I said follow it carefully. It does work. I am typing this on a 6t that I installed twrp on with that guide.

I'm guessing you don't own a 6T? You can't do that on this device. That's immediately how I knew that guide was not right. *** Edit *** I'm just skimming that guide, it appears to say flash the .img file, which is what the OP tried to do. Does it actually say to flash a .zip file? Either way that generic guide is misleading to new users and leads to issues like this.
Another source then, the official maintainer of TWRP for the 6T,
6T TWRP Thread.
I use the old install instructions, and what I recommend, still: (from that thread)
1. Install fastboot tools from google's sdk on your PC
2. Enter fastboot mode
3. Unlock your bootloader
4. Run "fastboot boot recoveryimgfilename.img" in command line (if you want to have it permanently you should flash the installer)
5. If you will flash the installer and you are stock you need also to flash magisk or your phone will not boot again
6. Enjoy it

Do NOT run fastboot flash, you can not flash the .img file. The OP is lucky it did not work. This used to result in the boot partition needing to be reflashed, and a phone that would not boot.
Edit: in fairness OhioYJ, you are clicking on the link I gave him TWRP's 6t specific site, not the one he was using? If you are and still can't read then see below.
I'm on a 6t typing this that I followed those instructions for. Fastbooted the image and then flashed the zip. So your lack of understanding and knowledge doesn't translate to something not working just your inept abilities to follow instructions. He didn't flash the zip simple as that. Feel free to hold his hand through what ever method you choose just understand blind leading the blind will be fun for you.
Edit: directly from page I gave,
"First download the TWRP zip file directly on your device. If you don't download the zip file to your device first for any reason, you will need to adb push the zip to the device because MTP is not currently working on the OnePlus 6T in TWRP. If you are unable to use adb, you can also use a USB stick with an OTG cable, if you have those handy. Power off the device. Hold volume up to get into fastboot mode. Run this command on your computer: fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-0-fajita.img
In TWRP, tap on Install and browse to the zip and install it (the zip will probably be in /sdcard/Downloads). TWRP will now be installed to both slots. TWRP is now installed and you can reboot and use your device as normal."

Just to be clear, I am able to install the TWRP zip file using the instructions from @saint6822 and @OhioYJ that have been
> adb reboot bootloader
> fastboot devices // To confirm device can be viewed
> fastboot boot twrp-3.5.0_9-0-fajita.img
Then I navigate the "Install" and locate the TWRP zip file, namely twrp-installer-fajita-3.2.3-2.zip and that installs fine. My problem arises after that, specifically after selecting Reboot and then Recovery the device reboots into the fastboot menu (i.e. the same menu I saw in the first step with "adb reboot bootloader").
I have no doubt TWRP has been installed on the device (per the installation messages appearing on the screen) but it does *not* boot back into it
Have you tried powering off and holding volume don't when you power it back on to enter recovery?

Just to be clear, I am able to install the TWRP zip file using the instructions from @saint6822 and @OhioYJ that have been
> adb reboot bootloader
> fastboot devices // To confirm device can be viewed
> fastboot boot twrp-3.5.0_9-0-fajita.img
Then I navigate the "Install" and locate the TWRP zip file, namely twrp-installer-fajita-3.2.3-2.zip and that installs fine. My problem arises after that, specifically after selecting Reboot and then Recovery the device reboots into the fastboot menu (i.e. the same menu I saw in the first step with "adb reboot bootloader").
I have no doubt TWRP has been installed on the device (per the installation messages appearing on the screen) but it does *not* boot back into it

I did, and it does go back to the same bootloader menu (as with "adb reboot bootloader")
The current slot is "B", hopefully that does not make a difference here. I'm also wondering if I should try different TWRP img and zip than above.
Those files worked for me, the latest LineageOs for Microg has it's own recovery (not twrp) you could try going fastboot the twrp.IMG, and from twrp and flash the OS zip before rebooting and call it done and give up on TWRP.

Why are you installing such an old version? Is that a typo? That could be your problem. Have you tried the installer for 3.5.0_9-0?
Slot and name don't make a difference. I've never changed the name.
The TWRP site lists the old version at the top and you have to scroll down to the newer version I bet he's not the first to make this mistake.

He's not. It took me a while to see it too.
