Hardbrick/total brick help me to understand my situation

Hello guys, my zenfone has the image "ASUS in search of incredible" on the center and upward has the written ""Fastboot Mode!!! long press power key to restart system""" in light blue!! i readed other similiar threads but i'm unable to resolve, i tried to download the official rom on the asus site and i follow threads of other models of zenfone 2 hardbricked in the Fastboot mode!
like this! ----((Type fastboot devices and hit Enter. Your device should appear.
13. Type fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img (be very careful in writting this line). Hit Enter. Wait till it's done.
14. Type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and hit Enter. Wait till it's done.
15. Type fastboot flash boot boot.img and hitEnter.))
I don't find those files (and files like system.img) in the zenfone 2 laser rom zip(UL-ASUS_Z00E-WW-13.10.7.1-user.zip) but only Boot.img ,system.new.dat... nothing useful.
I dowloaded a official recovery and twrp, i tried to flash the recovery.img and the boot.img and i try to reboot in bootloader mode but nothing, than i tried to flash the trwp.img but the process failed!
I've a Raw file image of the rom but i don't know if it possible to install it in fastboot and what is the right Command on fastboot!
This is all, i hope that someone can help me

Download stock recovery from here and flash with fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img and download official firmware from official site.
Go in to recovery and wipe cache and data,after select update from adb,open adb and write this command:adb sideload name_of_firmware.zip or put firmware.zip in to sd and rename update.zip go in to recovery wipe cache and data and select update from sdcard and select update.zip

thank you for the response, after the flash of the original recovery, i tried to go in recovery with "volume - and power botton" but nothing only asus image, than i tried with fastboot command --->"fastboot boot recovery.img" and Failed( remote dtb not found)

nothing! My friend doesn't remember if he unlocked the bootloader, the phone doesn't go in recovery... So the problem is the unlocked bootloader or a locked bootloader?!
from your answer I understand that if it is unlocked i can go in recovery, so i assume that the bootloader it's locked and for this i can't go in recovery...

I'm with a similar problem, I did not do the unlock bootloader but I can install TWRP with no problems. But my biggest problem is the time of system.img where it appears the following error: error: file too large

you've tried to clean all with the command " fastboot erase" boot,cache,system and userdata? i'm not sure if this work but in almost all guides recommended to erase old boot, cache, system & userdata partitions

I tried but no sucess

twrp mm

So I downgraded from revolution rom on marshmallow l21 b160. I'm trying to install CM 13. Because bootloader locked itself when i flashed stock marshmello i had to unlock it again. The way I unlocked it is by ''fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxx'' and I used the same code as the first time unlocking it. It gave me the message if I really want to unlock my bootloader and I said yes. Then I flashed Meticulus TWRP and it says it flashed but when I try to boot in recovery (V U+ P B) it gives me huawei recovery screen. I tried flashing several times with diffrent twrps.
EDIT: On bootloader screen it says PHONE UNLOCK, FTR LOCK

I have same problem with TWRP...

I think that in fastboot mode you can use the command "fastboot reboot recovery" to enter recovery

P9 Lite no ROM - how to fix this?

Hi,
i have a P9 Lite here where i flashed TWRP 3.0.2-0 and LineageOS. I just want another ROM and wiped the internal Storage, including system, data etc.
After this, i get an mount error while i tried to install the Elite ROM, so i decided to reboot and try it again.
Now, the TWRP starts up, but i have no screen on the P9 Lite, but "adb devices" shows me the device.
I also have tried to install TWRP 3.1.1 with the same result. Only the stock recovery gives an screen.
What can i do now?
I hope it's not bricked and i hope i can fix it with my only Linux System.
For any information, just ask.
Thanks a lot!

Maybe with DC Phoenix, in fastboot upgrade mode. I can give you my id and password if you want.

When my p9 lite was bricked, i founded an other solution because dc Phoenix didn't work with me. Can you access to fastboot mode (vol— + power in usb) ?

Yeah, fastboot is available!

OK, so first, go in fastboot mode, open a cmd fastboot and write "fastboot reboot Bootloader".
If your phone is locked : write : "fastboot oem unlock :your Bootloader code:
Then, download the rollback package MM, and flash the recovery of B160 update (huwaei extractor)
Then, flash the C432 oem info ( fastboot flash oeminfo oeminfodual.img), unlock your Bootloader again and flash the recovery TWRP .
After, you can flash your rom, I recommend C432 B160 MM.
Good luck!

Hi,
thank you for your Tutorial, but this does not work, or i do it wrong, so i repeat my steps:
- shutdown the p9 lite
- press vol- and plugin usb cable
- fastboot reboot-bootloader
- extract the UPDATE.app file, which i downloaded from huawei, this one: http://consumer.huawei.com/np/support/products/downloads/detail/p9lite-np.htm?id=93645
- i get the following files: crc.img, curver.img, efi.img, recovery.img, recovery2.img, sha256rsa.img, verlist.img, version.img
- i downloaded the oeminfodual from here: http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?p=23848404#post23848404, because it was not in the .app file from huawei
- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (the one from the .app file from huawei)
- fastboot flash oeminfo oeminfodual.img
- fastboot oem unlock (which fails, because the phone already is unlocked)
- fastboot flash recovery twrp311.img, which i downloaded from the thread on xda.
after all this steps, the phone is still not loading the recovery.
did i anything wrong, or is the phone dead?
thanks!

Wifi Problem [CUSTOM ROM]

From the day I first flashed lineage my wifi stopped working. I have tried changing roms... Tried most of the apps on play store... Tried wifi fix... Nothing helped. I believe it is a software problem. I have also tried going back to MIUI. Please help, I'm on RR currently. I have also attached a video in a reply for you to understand what my problem exactly is.
My mac address is 2:00:00:00:00

here is the link to the video

Recovery mode? Twrp or fastboot.
In any case edl should restore everything

1. Go into fastboot

3. Flash global stable with miflash
It'll take a bit longer than flashing in fastboot

I found a better way... Go to TWRP and select data fix or whatever that option is, it really works, but make sure you do that just after the problem starts.

Relax. I'm guessing your bootloader is unlock right?

First time I booted twrp, I had to hold the up key when it vibrates after the Mi logo.

Try format data with TWRP option typing "yes" then Install MIUI 12

He can't enter TWRP, otherwise solid suggestion.

If all else fails.. Try to install the fastboot rom of MIUI. It should help you boot to default MIUI OS.. Then flash the TWRP after.

enter your phone to fastboot then connect it to your pc , make sure you have all the drivers installed .
after you done it just download twrp to your pc , and by adb command flash it to your phone .

And the wworth happened, stuck in fastboot ! lost my rom, unsusable for work.... some hours to find a solution....

i cant flash a romlm in fasbooot moode thats the problem

Nos, really, i need to find a recovery who works, and flash a rom zip......
