Hi,
to start with I needed to downgrade my asus from Android 6.0 to factory version, and I didn't expect, that casue some problems, probably i ****ed up something on the way.
The situation is, i erased system, flashed a WW-12.8.5.172 and after rebooting phone freezed od loading screen. After 0.5h i gave up and wanna return to latest distribution, but another issue occured, neither recovery mode work nor fastboot could load another firmware.
Have someone had same or alike problem? Or know how to fix this mess.
Thanks for all response in advane

My problem...
I was just given a Yoga Tab 2 from my sister who has given up on trying to fix it.
The tab was on 5.01 and rooted when she got a system update. She ran the update but now the tablet freezes during/after the boot animation.
It will go into fastboot but is not recognized by ADB.
She tried to install the original Lollipop firmware through recovery but ended up getting a system 7 error.
This is exactly what I see when in the bootloader screen
FASTBOOT MODE
PRODUCT_NAME - YT2
VARIANT - YOGA Tab1
HW_VERSION -
BOOTLOADER VERSION - unknown
IFWI VERSION - Blade_21.x64.0005.R00.1504101447 FFD8_X64_R_
SERIAL NUMBER - BaytrailD454B***
SIGNING - ?
SECURE_BOOT - ?
E: No valid installer medium found
I know nothing about Lenovo and how they do things but I know that with HTC you have to go back to 100% locked and stock before you can install an OTA. If you do try the OTA usually just won't install but unfortunately this thing seems to be at least soft bricked.
Is there a way for me to maybe roll back? I've read about people going back to KK in order to get the LP OTA but all links to the KK firmware are gone.
Thanks a lot, I appreciate any help I can get...
BTW, She is under warranty but of course she was rooted and is worried that repair will cost her almost as much as she paid for the Tab when they realize and void her warranty.
If its the same as the 1050f try these files.

Thank you. I used the Restore KitKat Bios you posted along with an 830F specific KitKat firmware from the Russian Lenove site. Worked fine after editing the flash.xml file to allow for a larger system.img file.
The tablet is now back from the dead. Unfortunately it gets the 5.0 update but fails in the Lenovo Recovery when trying to flash the OTA. It gets to 100%, stays like that for a bit and then a blue X saying flash failed. After that I'm back to a black screen and have to reflash the kitkat firmware to get up and running again.
I have no idea why the OTA flash constantly fails but I guess I have to do a bit more research and hope I can get her up to date.
Did you set the country code , without setting it updates fail.
Look at this advice from ionioni to me about setting the code

Outstanding!!! I entered the code in contacts and it gave me a menu of different countries to choose from. I Chose US and she rebooted, went into recovery, ran a bit and rebooted into another fresh install which looked completely different. We're talking different wallpaper, and different apps. After that it successfully installed 4 or 5 OTAs and as far as I can tell it is now completely up to date!
Android Version is 5.01
Build is S100250-160119
Kernel Version is 3.10.20-x86_64byt-g9f7fad7
Security patch is dated 2016-02-01
I'll wait a few days before I root and install Xposed just to be 100% certain it's up to date.
Of course my sister will probably ask for it back now.
Either way, THANK YOU VERY MUCH corasman!!! Your help has been invaluable!
I am so pleased it worked for you, ionioni helped me so much and now I am trying to do the same for others.
I bought ASUS Zenfone Selfie ZD551KL (ASUS_Z00UDB). I found my phone software was WW version but strange thing is the backpack of phone box was written it has installed CN version. However that time my phone was installed WW-1.13-user I guess. There was no OTA update options, so i never get any update notification.
After 1 days I saw ASUS release Android 6 for ASUS Zenfone Selfie ZD551KL. So i downloaded in try to installed it many was, after that my phone go into bootloop. Its been 15 days I still in stuck in same. Already tried most of methods to fix but no success. After that i tried to contact Regional customer support, when I asked about that issue, they asking for half of phone charge, also they can't ensure if it fix or not. If fix they asked that that amount if not then half of amount. So i back to home and searched again, I understand that my phone bootloder still locked. So i think for this reason all of my try going fail. Since ASUS has requirement to unlock bootloder is must be version 1.15 installed, this case my phone was 1.13. Also now I'm in stuck.
So Question is, is there anyway to unlock bootloader as I'm in stuck into bootlop?
I know I could ask this msg to ASUS support, since as they are so bushiness minded they wont reply my question.
Badly need help this case.
Thanks in Advance
Thanks God, I just fix it using 1.12 CN version, which file was not from official support. Now main problem is, How can I move to CN > WW. I need 1.15 WW version. Is there any way to move on WW?

Hi everybody
My Zenfone Selfie after a normal update (never modified) is in bootloop.
So I installed adb and fastboot and I flashed the twrp.
Then I tried in every way to flash a rom. I've tried both with official firmware and with various versions of cyanogenmod. Through fastboot and via adb sideload.
Even if seems to work, when I reboot I get the bootloop problem again.
As far as I can understand the problem it’s that I have the bootloader still locked. The official apk solution I guees it’s not applicable in my case. By fastboot oem unlock i get an error message (probably why i can not enable usb debug).
Do you know of other ways to unlock the bootloader or in general to flick my phone?
Thanks to everyone for the help

Hey, al already had this problem.
Try to boot the TWRP using BootLoader with command bootloader boot_a file.img (i belive that the command is this one, if does't you can find on TWRP tread), and boot again the rom that had failed.
If doesn't work, you probably will need to boot files like modem.img, firmware or others that may be corrupted cause of flashing.
There are actually a lot of treads of similar erros that happens on honor phones or oneplus, you can use them as reference tho find witch are the files that cause the non recognition on USB after a failed flash.
If needed reflash stock, it will fix in last case.
basically this is how it went, installed an android 10 rom, it was buggy so i flashed back to stock miui with adb to fully reset everything, installed a recovery and went back to pixel experience
now the phone won't recognize my sim card and wont find any wifi connections, miui also did not find any wifi connections and wont recognize the sim either
am i screwed? is my device bricked?
Have you used the tool from xiaomiflash.com for the stock ROM?
Probably lost IMEI too? Modem could be broken and needs to be reflashed. No way without edl i guess. I dont know. Needs some pro advice. I would like to know about this too.

So a few months ago i tried unlocking and rooting my old zenfone 3, it failed horribly and now I'm left with a bricked device. Because its been a while I don't fully remember all the details, but I think I might have corrupted some part of the system and then did a full wipe/format which left me with nothing, at this point i might have found a system image with the very first firmware version and when i tried installing the latest firmware update from the Asus website, I realized that I would need to start flashing from the very first update to the final update. I tried looking for custom firmwares and they also needed an up to date original firmware.
And now i need to use the phone again but still can't figure it out, the phone is now just stuck on a bootloop. I don't really know what to do anymore. One thing I keep thinking is if there is a full system image of the up to date stock firmware, an image file that i could just flash onto the phone and have it running again. Though I haven't seen anything like that, so I don't think that exists or will work with this phone
Can someone please help me? this phone has been a brick for months and now I need some help recovering it
TL;DR Wiped the entire phone, lost the android system, and now I don't think I can use the phone unless I manually update the phone from the very first update to the last. I'm looking for if a full stock system image/backup with the latest (or atleast new-ish) version exists, though I'm very doubtful that this exists at this point
