Okay, Let me explain exactly what I did here... I first flashed Twrp using SP flash tool which worked without too much problem. Then I attempted to install the latest super su zip which told me the boot.img was already patched and it could not find a ramdisk... So I moved on and flashed the latest Magisk zip which flashed no problem. Rebooted the device and it came up with a red boot state telling me it would boot in 5 sec. It did not boot at all. Turned off the tablet and rebooted into twrp again. I then flashed the OTA update system.img, boot.img, and re-flashed twrp from twrp itself instead of the SP flash tool. It booted into twrp no problem, however now it said it could not mount the system partition. I did a full data wipe, factory reset, rebooted into twrp again. Same issue. So I attempted to re-flash the firmware with SP flash tool. Did not notice i had it set to format and download and not only download. It said formatting for maybe 2 sec and gave me an error. Now the device will not turn on at all... no screen whatsoever, no recovery, etc... I have had no luck getting the asus flash tool to even recognize a com port however SP flash tool seems to be able to flash the device no problem. I extracted the .raw firmware file I have for the latest firmware, modified the scatter file to allow flashing all partitions, and I did a full firmware flash of the device using SP flash tool. However it still does not turn on... it does nothing... So I'm assuming that I accidentally formatted over the bootloader... And I cannot find a bootloader flash file for this device anywhere... So I'm stuck with an Asus ZenBrick... Does anyone know a way to fix this issue? When I plug the device into my computer and open device manager it switches between the preloader and mtk serial port very quickly not staying on either one very long. I'm assuming this is why I cant get the asus flash tool to work and SP flash tool works off just the initial preloader. I just bought this tablet from someone and managed to hard brick it in less than a days time... Any help at all with a way to revive this device will be greatly appreciated. Thank You in advance to anyone who tries to help me fix my mess up.

I havent got a nandroid backup on my phone and flashed a boot and recovery img on my phone. I was going to update it via stock recovery and apply the stock update from sd card. But there was error 7 as per usual and i have tried to flash all of my previuos working roms which tell me that the e;footer is wrong and none of them have worked. I am about to try and adb sideloaf but it has not been working for me, neither has fastboot because it cannot detect the device due to me stupidly erasing the boot.img. Can someone help because i know that i have messed up big.
Thanks,
Cho
Hi there! I have this question which I'd love to have answered because I've been on this issue for around 2 days straight.
Long story short:
Tried to flash custom recovery using fastboot, didn't work because bootloader locked
Kept on trying the unlocker apps, none of them even installed fully (THIS WAS WHEN I WAS STILL ON LOLLIPOP)
Somehow, at some point, I just randomly rebooted and BOOM THERE WAS TWRP (Sorry, I don't remember how exactly I managed that. As far as I remember, I was only using fastboot and nothing else)
Flashed CM 14.1 unofficial, device gave an error message regarding boot.img (something like "could not load boot.img"
Used stock ROM to flash OTA Android 6.1
Now the Asus unlocker app downloads but on reboot it says "error: unlock fail !!!"
Obviously, fastboot is unable to flash a recovery right now. I tried ignoring the error message and rebooting to recovery to stop the device from loading the stock recovery again but the device still loads the stock recovery.
I'm really tired
P.S: NO, there is no Enable OEM option in my Developer Options menu and YES, I have all the drivers necessary.
Did you get anywhere with this? I have a similar problem except that I couldn't flash Android 6.1 because the vendor had flashed WW 5.0.2 on a CN phone without also updating the CN recovery to WW. So the update failed its consistency check.
I've got TWRP on there now, but can't unlock the bootloader in 5.0.2 - I think this is why TWRP can't flash anything. It can't see the update files, won't switch to external SD, etc. .
I also found and tried flashing a WW recovery but that didn't work either. I'm wondering now if I got the 615 software by mistake.
I mistakenly flash the wrong recovery image (twrp, then back to stock when twrp did not work) using fastboot. Just gave up on flashing the recovery and after a few months, I need to factory reset my phone and forgot that my recovery is corrupted or not working. After resetting and my phone rebooted, it just bootloop in the asus logo.
tried entering fastboot and recovery mode but it is no longer working.
So I googled and read that the only way to unbrick my phone is flash it with SP Flash tool. Can you help me find the correct firmware for my device? Or maybe i just need the stock recovery.img and flash it with SP flash tool with the correct scatter file.
My device is running the latest firmware when it was bricked.
Please help. Thanks.
Flash this Rom. It will unbrick your phone and back to 6.0. You'll need to update your firmware again manually.

Thanks, already restored my phone by flashing it with SP Flash tool and updating it manually with the official firmware.
Thanks for the information and ROM provided using SP Flash. I am now back at 6.0. What tools/firmware is required to update it manually to the latest 7.0 version? Tapping Settings -> System -> Check for Updates does not appear to do anything.
Hi, i've got a Zenfone 3 Max ZC520 bricked (it stucks on ASUS logo after i tried to install the SuperSU), when trying to install this firmware it shows me ERROR: S_BROM_DOWNLOAD_DA_FAIL (2004).
How can I unbrick it?
Thank you.
Dear members, this is my first post and the problem is very complicted, so please bear with the long post
Device details:
LeEco Le1s (x500)
MTK6795 chipset
3 GB + 32 GB (Everybody knows )
Background:
I downgraded my ROM from 19s to 14s with SP Flash tool and the phone booted normally. I went through the initial setup, unlocked Developer mode and USB debugging. Then I opened the adb toolkit on Win 7 x86 machine to unlock bootloader and install twrp custom recovery at single go (instead of letting phone rebot after bootloader unlock and then proceeding with recovery flashing).
Now phone went to soft brick, to overcome which I needed to flash userdata with sp flash tool (I have done this in past also following a tutorial, the same files were used this time). But flashing process resulted in BROM error and I was not successful.
So, I re-flashed the original 14s rom via SP flash tool to get the things back to working, but phone didn't boot properly and bootloop situation was still there. I again reflashed the same ROM and this timephone entered red light of death mode, and didn't boot up after flashing original rom.
Now, I again googled this problem and found that we need to format flash with bootloader. Here the problem complicated further.
As soon as I formatted the flash and the bootloader, laptop stopped detecting the phone via usb cable. Now I can't flash any rom using SP flash tool as the phone is not detectable.
I have reinstalled my windows 7 32 bit operating system and reinstalled all the drivers for MTK smartphone. I have another Le1s phone running on 19s version of EUI marshmallow with stock recovery and locked bootloader which is detecting fine without problems.
Please guide me how can I resolve the problem.
Also guide if the other phone can anyhow help in this matter in terms of software backup for SP flash tool (I couldn't find a way of backing stock rom using SP flash tools.
Problem summary:
1) Flash with bootloader formatted
2) Phone is not detectable on Windows 7 32 bit OS and latest SP flash tools
3) Red LED turns on when phone connected to charger or laptop via usb cable,nothing on LCD display
4) Can't reach bootloader or recovery either
Help will be really appreciated. You all know the value of data stored on smartphones.
Thanks in advance!!
can explain how you were able to solve it?
facing a similar issue would ne helpful.
thanks.
Hi Everyone,
I have an issue with my Oneplus8 pro and below are the details
1. The device was working perfectly. I was interested to root the device and install a custom ROM.
2. The method used was to try and flash a patched boot image for the device but I think i landed up using a wrong boot image file.
3. The OS was on 10.5.10 if I remember correctly. I used a patched image file I suppose of an older firmware. Now restarts and goes to "QUALCOMM Crashdump mode". The only options are
a. reboot to fastboot mode
b. flash the TWRP for Oneplus 8 pro but that doesnt mount by storage so cant really transfer anything to flash again.
Requesting some help to fix the issue and apologies if i have not explained correctly.
