[FIX] Asus Zenfone 2 Laser ZE550KL Marshmallow update problem, failed to mount /asdf

I have good experience with other phones but this is my first time working with ZE550KL.
So I took my uncle's phone and he asked me to update his phone to the latest firmware to get the VoLTE feature.
He is was on ZE550KL_WW_21.40.1220.1708 which is Marshmallow of the ZEN UI.
I have downloaded the latest firmware from the ASUS website but I couldn't update it because the recovery which came with the marshmallow update is broken.
These are the errors I got

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Here is what I did, and hope this works for everyone.
Hoping that you already went and searched about the problem over the internet.
These are the things you need to download :
ADB and fastboot
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0aDjdU4gTwZZW1HUHhqWnEteXM/view
Recovery image file
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0aDjdU4gTwZa1MyUmVPN3BhQjQ
Latest firmware:
https://www.asus.com/in/support/Download/39/1/0/22/ZROQURlyupei1ZQz/32/
1. Download the adb and fastboot drivers. Download the latest firmware and copy it onto your internal storage.
2. Boot into the bootloader.
3. Download the recovery image and paste it into the adb folder.
4. Now type the following command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5. This step is very important.
Now, all you have to do is hold the power button and the volume down button to boot into the installed recovery.
Remember that if you restart your phone after step 4, your old recovery(which does not work) will still be there.
6. Now select update from sdcard and select the zip file of the latest firmware you downloaded.
7. It will take at least 10 minutes to install, don't panic if you think the screen froze.
I hope this solves the issues many users are facing.
Feel free to ask questions, I will be very happy to answer.
The recovery we installed is the recovery of Android Lollipop version of the Zen UI ROM.

Thanks. It worked. The only difference is that after flashing the old recovery, my SD card was showing blank. So i selected the adb sideload option and flashed the new build.. Thanks for your guide.

Thanks but few doubts remain. The recovery you used is from Lollipop`s 1.17.40.1503 right?
Can we not do this by installing a temporary recovery image (twrp)?
I have also read elsewhere ( https://devs-lab.com/e-unable-to-mount-asdf-recovery-error-solved.html ) that you would need the boot image too. But your instructions are way too easier and easy to follow. Why don't you use boot image?
If we are using the boot image then which version of it should we use?

Before I tried any of this... First thing I did was boot TWRP and install the lastest firmware.
But I couldn't do so because TWRP doesn't let you flash .img files.
And for the best result it is always better for you to use the official recovery to flash an official firmware.
Because ASUS f***ed up, I needed to install the previous version of the recovery to flash the firmware.
And I'm very happy that my guide worked for you.
Don't forget to give thanks. :laugh:

I haven't tried it yet. So you didn't tamper with boot.img at all. Right?
Also as previously asked what's the build number from which you extracted the recovery.img? Is it from .1503?
My current build is .1708 same as what you worked on. And will data get erased during this process?

How can I boot into the bootloader? is it by unlocking it? or is there any other non-invasive way?
Update: I installed as per your instructions. Device shows "Optimizing app 5 of 51".
Thank you.

Thank you
Thank you sir, this helped me a lot.

recovery link is asking need access plzz help

My Asus Zenfone doesn't boot anymore and doesn't even allow me to factory reset it from the bootloader. How to force reset it??

Video tutorial for rooting redmi 4/4x

I have unlocked my phone recently. And then I downloaded TWRP from "twrp.me" for my Redmi 4X. And I tried to flash it through adb and fastboot. And I successfully flashed. But unfortunately my phone doesn't boot to TWRP recovery except commanding through cmd "fastboot boot recovery.img". When I try to boot to recovery mode with volume up + power button, the stock recovery comes up. How can I fix this?

Thanks buddy

i was using twrp 3.0 but as i installed latest 3.1.1 it is encrypted and asking for password . Files are also not properly flashing . System mount unmount error etc. I did factory format , data wipes and also flashed recovery using fastboot but nothing happened but when i reverted back to twrp 3.0 all the problems were solved .

Same for me, went back to 3.0.3.0, too, because of the encryption problem. This might be solved (not testet yet):

Edit: just upgraded to "TWRP 3.1.0-1 Santoni.img" (see dl-link above) which runs without any problem so far...

Use TWRP 3.1.0..
DON'T use the newest 3.1.1.0... it's faulty as sh*te

Why i am not able to boot into recovery through advanced power option? Even i tried through power and volume up buttons but failed.... Please help me....

volumeup+volumedown+power=twrp recovery
Or use the twrp app to boot into recovery, BUT do not twrp update!! It'll update to the sh*te 3.1.1 version!

[TUTORIAL][ZS550KL][ZS570KL/PRO] How to change device SKU to WW [29-09-2017]

Zenfone 3 Deluxe ZS550KL / ZS570KL / ZS570KL PRO
How to change device SKU to WW​Disclaimer
Code:
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about procedures,

* messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/
The are two main reasons to change our SKU from TIM, CN or JP to WW. Firstly, the WW firmware is apparently getting OTA updates first. In second place, Marshmallow 6.0 Bootloader Unlock process requires 4.12.40.1698 firmware version and above, but only WW got the update (you may find this useless as 7.0 update is here, but some 6.0 users may need it). This will guide you in the process.
Warning!
Always have your original firmware, recovery and boot files in case things don't go as expected
Backup all of your personal data!
PLEASE MAKE SURE you are using the respective files for your CPU (ZS570KL SD820 2.15Ghz - ZS570KL PRO SD821 2.3GHz)
Prerequisites
Adb and Fastboot installed. I recommend you to install it from HERE.
Drivers installed. Try using these or Universal ADB Drivers
Python 2.X or 3.X installed.
WW target firmware. You can download it from the ASUS official website or from AndroidFileHost mirror: ZS570KL SD820 or ZS570KL PRO SD821.
Respective firmware stock recovery. You can download it from here: ZS570KL SD820 or ZS570KL PRO SD821
sdat2simg toolkit (you can find img2simg linux binary in second post).
Guide
In this case we are going to change a ZS570KL using the UL-Z016-WW-4.12.40.1698 firmware (the version needed to unlock the bootloader in Android 6.0) and it's respective recovery.
1. Extract the sdat2simg toolkit
Extract the sdat2simg_toolkit.rar and you will have this folder structure:
- sdat2simg_toolkit/
|-> bin / > necessary tools
|-> input/ > input system files
|-> output/ > output system files for flashing
|-> sdat2simg.bat > tool execution​2. Extract system files from firmware
Open the firmware zip and extract system.new.dat and system.transfer.list into the input folder.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
​3. Run the tool
Now open the sdat2simg.bat file. There must no be trouble if you have properly installed python.
The tool will first convert the system.new.dat and system.transfer.list into a raw ext4 image, then it will be converted into a sparse flashable image.
When the process has finished, check the output folder. The system.img file is what we are interested in. This is our flashable system image.​4. Flash the WW system image
Now we need to reboot into bootloader mode. Turn off the device and press Volume up + Power button. Or by using adb command:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Now open a terminal inside output folder and flash the system image by using the fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
5. Flash the WW recovery image
Then we are going to flash the WW recovery image. Open a terminal where you placed the recovery image and flash it by using fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery Z016-WW-4.12.40.1698_recovery.img
5.a. (Optional) Flash WW boot image
You can optionally flash the WW boot image contained inside the firmware zip. Extract it, open a terminal next to the boot.img file and flash it by using the fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
(Not tested)​6. Factory reset
Reboot your device by using fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Wait until it boots up and power it off. Then boot to recovery mode: Volume down + Power button, wait for the "No command" sign
and keep pressed power button + tap Volume up to show the recovery menu.
To factory reset the device choose the following options:
Code:
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
7. Reboot!
Now you are all up! You can Reboot your device by choosing the Reboot device now option
and you will boot into your new WW firmware. If you changed to WW to unlock the bootloader now you are able to do it.
You can also download OTA updates for WW firmware or you can manually download it and place the firmware in the internal storage, reboot and a window will prompt asking to install the new firmware.​
Special thanks

Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
2. Reboot your device and wait until it boots up.
3. Reboot to fastboot mode.
4. Flash the stock recovery image to the recovery partition.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <stock recoery name>.img

Do I need to flash the recovery and the firmware in one go? Is there any order I must proceed in? Are you sure I don't need to unlock the bootloader first? ASUS told me the bootloader unlock app also works with my TIM branded version.

stuck in TWRP boot loop

Hi,
I am in a pickle of my own doing, of course. I followed this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BT6P5m1XGpw) and now I can only get either the screen that has two Asian languages and English on reboot, or I can get into TWRP.
How do I get it to boot to an OS, any version at this point?
Here are some details:
I have an unlocked boot loader A6013
I was running 9.0.12 and wanted 9.0.13
Using Android File Transfer, I moved Magisk-v18.0.zip, twrp-installer-fajita-3.2.3-2.zip, and OnePlus6TOxygen_34_OTA_020_all_1904032212_38e22c8b9abd42e3.zip into the download folder.
I then rebooted into TWRP recovery, installed twrp-installer-fajita-3.2.3-2.zip
Rebooted to recovery again, and installed OnePlus6TOxygen_34_OTA_020_all_1904032212_38e22c8b9abd42e3.zip
Then I installed twrp-installer-fajita-3.2.3-2.zip again.
Then I rebooted to recovery and tried to install Magisk-v18.0.zip, but found that my directory structure is all mangled with folders named like this "6MTjdFQ0IJuqeJ0kD4vzTB" etc...
I can't find the Download folder anywhere.
Booting normally only gives me the three option of two Asian language options or English. Choosing English gets me the menu to Wipe Data and Cache, Advanced or Exit. Under Advanced I can Reboot to Fastboot, Reboot to recovery or Ver 2.0. Reboot to Recovery send me back to the two Asian languages, etc.
I can boot to TWRP by pressing Vol+ and Power, at which point I have all those options (Install, Wipe, Backup, Restore, Mount, Settings, Advanced, Reboot). I can also see all the "mangled" folders on Android File Transfer, and can sideload things, but dragging and dropping any file into the AFT window is rejected.
Any help would be super appreciated. Please let me know if I didn't give enough information.
Gratefully yours,
Chris El Stupido.

Hello kasper666666, that`s what I am looking for! It sounds like a fairy tail!
But.....
my knowledge about AOSP and Magisk is poor and even my trial to install magisk for my H8166 was not successfull.
I started from stock rom H8166_Customized DACHBLX_52.1.A.3.49-R6C and Magisk-v24.3 (or alternatively Magisk-v21.4).
Then I flashed system-squeak-arm64-ab-vndklite-gapps.img.
Error: "non supported Magisk-version"
Can you give any advice?
Thanks for your efforts!

I made a mistake. the camera works on firmware courvus 12 v 1.0.magisk does not work because you need to remove system / bin / phh su, and in build.prop in ro.build.fingerprint = you need to insert your own values, the camera also works on cr droid 12 but on it Big battery zhor with gapps.. https://sourceforge.net/projects/tipzbuilds/files/GSIs/CorvusROM/Alpha/20220315/ and be sure to flash it for the sensors to work https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-4cIIg8BNz1o1SlHEqamFKIprYcx9oOX/view?usp=drivesdk

if you can’t do this, I will help you, only I will need your build.prop from vendor

Thank you for your quick response and offer!
My last trial was insatalling "magfisk-phh.apk"; but stuck with Sony-logo.

it was not necessary .... I have a ready-made file, now I will upload it to disk and send a link to the finished firmware
put the usual magisk 24.3. install twrp and boot into the stock firmware and then boot into twrp again. install the firmware from under twrp as a system image
then you can put recovery lineage and it will work
lineage-18.1-20220113-recovery-aurora.img
drive.google.com

put all the files in the topic header

sorry, but I can´t see any attachment....
bytheway: will your solution enable the use of the stock xperia camera? As far as I know Bionic does not allow the use of their cameradrivers for the further development.

all attachments open. camera tama 0.3.0 from denny trank works it is in patchi.rar

it´s a hard piece of work for me and an end not to be seen...
1. flash stock with newflasher: ok
2. flash magisk_patched boot.img: ok
3. install twrp
3.1 fastboot boot twrp-kang.img; adb push twrp-kang.img /; install recovery ramdisk; reboot into recovery (with decryption); reboot system doesn´t work, boots into recovery instead!! Flashing system-squeak.img immediately stops with error.
3.2 fastboot boot twrp-aurora.img; boots but no input possible, dead screen
So what I`m doing wrong? Is there another better twrp?

download the archive. extract the twrp-akari.img file, copy it to the memory card. you must have the official firmware, connect the phone to the computer in fastboot and in the folder that you downloaded, click first on 1vbmeta.cmd then on 2twrp.cmd and wait until the phone reboots into twrp. in twrp select advanced then install recowery ramdisk and select the file on the memory card twrp-akari.img and wait for the firmware to finish. then reboot into the system. you can go to twrp and flash the firmware from twrp in system image. flash recovery lineage 18 on fastboot...magisk flash from under recovery lineage 18
xz2p dual TWRP 3.4.0.rar
drive.google.com

sorry, where can I find vbmeta.cmd and twrp.cmd?

xz2p dual TWRP 3.4.0.rar
drive.google.com
sorry

still no end to be seen!
1. install stockrom (newflasher)
2. boot and install ramdisk recovery (twrp-akari.img)
3. flash system.img via recovery or fastboot flash system_a system.img
4. reboot system: SONY-Logo stuck
what´s wrong with me?

2. boot and install ramdisk recovery (twrp-akari.img)!system reboot required!!3. flash system.img via recovery!! no fastboot!!!!4.flash Permissiver_v5.zip..5.reboot system

That´s exactly what I have done. Permissive-zip: too large; aborted....
I think, there´s not enough room for both twrp and permissive in the ramdisk and I dont know howto increase size. If I change the sequence of the installation twrp-img is too large.
"new image larger than boot partition. Aborting"

did you flash it from twrp.? flash recovery lineage 18 and flash permissiver from it

Finally successfull!
I highly appreciate your work! Thank You!!
My steps installing android 12

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
2. boot and install ramdisk recovery (twrp-akari.img)
3. reboot recovery ; reboot system ; reboot recovery again
4. push system.img /sdcard and install
5. replace ramdisk recovery with lineage-18.1-20220113-recovery-aurora.img
6. flash Permissiver_v5.zip from it
7. flash Magisk-v24.3.zip
8. reboot system
9. install camera-0.3.0-tama.zip from patchi.rar via magisk
the original SONY Xperia camera is working!!
