Asus zenfone max Z010D hardbrick help - Asus Zenfone Max Questions & Answers

Yesterday when I updating my Asus zenfone max Z010D my phone hard brick. Nothing show, not indicating led, not charging, not going to bootloader.not going to recovery. The main thing is that I download ota updates zip from Asus website and flash from stock recovery. When I connect zenfone max to PC, in device manager show qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 driver. And when I google, then I known that I need service ROM which can flashed through Qfil tool.
So, can you give me service ROM so that I fixed this problem.
Please not this is not battery problem. Its os problem. Sorry for my bad English and thanks.

That is the offline charging bug caused by the hardware's reverse charging feature. No solution to date so be careful to not let the battery go below 20% without charging.
Reboot into Fastboot / CSC mode ( vol up + power) and plug the charger. Let it charge for 10-15 mins then reboot.

sir please help me i have already a reverse charging popup problem i try to change the os to solve the bug please any other option

Hello, I had a very little progress. I gave up about my asus zenfone max a year ago but glad that now looks like there's a hope in reviving my phone. I was able to download the right files to flash with QFIL. Most people here say that their PC detected QUALCOMM HS-USB QDLOADER 9008 but mine detect it as QUALCOMM HS-USB DIAGNOSTICS 9006. Due to excitement, I flashed it anyway and it created some memory partition on my hard drive whenever I plug the phone but QFIL gave me an error of :
** Download Fail: Switch To EDL Fail Failed to switch to Emergency Download Mode
I tried to google this error, some encountered it and was able to get a resolution by just removing the battery before plugging it in but our zenfone is with non removable battery. I have no luck yet. Anyone got suggestions ?

Where do you get the right files? Could you post them?

Hi guys, I'm in really trouble.
I've got an Asus z010d and I think is hardbricked.
Screen is totally black, no vibrations, no recovery mode, nothing.
The only thing that I've done is to see it via QFIL like the image attached.
I've read some guides around the internet, for restore the device via QFIL with a stock rom, but I not able to get a single rom that has rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml files that the program need...
I state that I am not a big expert.
Iif anyone knows how to help me, I can also pay him for the right assistance.
Thanks in advance.

Check my post for detailed instructions. And yes, I did face that issue and fixed it by reinserting the battery. It's a bit risky, but worth a try. Try watching some YouTube teardown videos

If you're having trouble with QFIL, best thing to do is uninstall Qualcomm drivers, reboot, reinstall, try again. Repeat until you can flash without problem.
I had to uninstall many times. Don't lose hope. It takes a lot of effort
hey Sree. I noticed that it is being detected as Qualcomm HS-USB diagnostics 9006. So what I did is I forced driver to install Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. I'm now having a Sahara error. I'll try reinstalling drivers but I have a quastion. Does QFIL version matter ?

I don't know. I used the latest one. Try the version linked in my original post. Also, of you're getting sahara fail, it's ok. You're on right track. Uninstall driver, reboot and reinstall. It'll take hell a lot of tries, but will work eventually

You can't flash Stock ROM with TWRP, you should try flashing other ROM.

Solved My problems. Thanks...
First Download this files from the following link
https://www.firmware27.net/2017/10/asus-zenfone-max-z010d-zc550kl-firmware.html
Then download this file Qfil ( this version only working for this files ). If you use another version of Qfil then phone will go back to dead mode(9008)

While flashing with his tool it will write half of the files then phone will reboot and exit factory mode.

Im able also to reach "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" on it, so i tried to flash room it using QFIL, but at the end it say "Sahara Fail".
There some kind of help on it?
