I think my phone got a virus? Very weird bootloop/stuck bootloader - Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Questions & Answers

My ZE553KL (I use it as a home device control, small tablet) keep loading/reloading for 3 hours now. I CANNOT SHUT IT DOWN. everytime I have this vibrate boot, ITS SUPER ANNOYING.
It show the bootloader then reboot, then show the bootloader and so on. Buttons are unresponsive.
Only think I can do is press up and get to screen number 2 for exactly 6 second (my computer then recognize it).
I cannot remove battery (hello soldered battery). or shut it down, I guess at some point It will drain battery but.
I have no idea what is happening, please help?

Ouch
Play with it. Proper button sequence and timing is everything. It's easy to not hit the right button at the exact moment. Allowing the battery to auto shutdown may break the cycle. Don't attempt to solder the battery without a good iron and skillset. You need to be fast about it.
If the OS is pre Pie it's suspectable to rootkits that require a reflash to erraticate.
A hardware failure is also possible.
A bad coded 3rd party apk can also boot loop you. That's worse than a normal boot loop though.
It's definitely corrupted... hopefully someone here who has seen this before and/or knows more about that line of phones advanced troubleshooting can help you.

Help! Something wrong when I boot up my phone!

Guys,
I like to check with you all whether any solution for the below problem :
Every time I boot up my phone, it will display the messaging menu on the background and I cannot view the HTC Sense main screen till I press any button.
Please see below photo of the problem :

Mine does exactly the same thing.
mine does the same thing too, it seems to be that messaging tries to open up on top of it, if you see on your screenshot, it says messaging at the top instead of start. Seems to be an issue with windows mobile i think as i had the same thing happen on my touch pro with a custom rom. it happens to me when i use the phone too, for example if i'm watching a video in full screen that messaging thing appears over it and exits full screen playback, doesnt happen all the time but enough to become annoying
Try booting the phone without the memory card inserted. Maybe it's corrupt.
I get this too. Tried searching for a fix but couldn't find one so good to see a thread started here about it.
Touching the screen will also take you to the main screen.
Weird. I get the "Launching HTC Sense" sometimes, but never the Messaging thing instead of Start.
It only happens on mine if the phone has been switched off for a while, for example over night, if I just switch the phone off and back on again it goes straight to the main screen.

[Q] Bricked?

I was reverting my Phone back to stock so the wife can use it. The battery fell out while applying the update.zip. Now the phone wont power up or show led while charging. Am I screwed? This is a mytouch 3g 1.2 tmobile
76 views and no advice.
Well... when you say "won't power up" what do mean...
Does it boot up but nerver continues... or it does nothing..nada..zero?
If it's the last, then yes... YOU ARE BRICKED..
If the first, then a small possibility for resurrection :0)

Sounds like a brick, but keep screwing with it. Have you left the battery out for a while and then tried again? If you can SAPPIMG it again and let it finish you should be fine.
Yes i hold the power button down and no response whatsoever from the phone.
What is about this picture?

Is it also bricked? After several updates, it went to this status no matter pressing power, or power + menu, or power + back and so on.
Any one can give a hand?
Thats the same picture i had when the battery fell out of my phone.
I got more help from a different website. Thanks alot.

Black screen of death since 5.1.1

Ok guys it started since I migrate to 5.1.1 ROM, flashed clean DN 0.3 note 5 port, and the phone would just go black at least once per day, nothing seems to work even a hard restart (volume up + power button for 20 sec) only a battery pull would restart the phone. So I figured it must be the ROM ( noone in DN 0.3 thread seems to have this problem) . So I flashed the original 5.1 firmware for my country, rooted it and used it for a day to find out it does the same! I'm really not sure what seems to be the culprit. I couldn't find a conclusive pattern on the bsod however last time I noticed it happened right before I was disconnected from public wifi, perhaps it is the modem? Maybe it's root and bootloader conflict with 5.1 firmwares? (the phone boots up, so it cannot be bootloader? Or I don't understand something about what bootloader does?) Any one has encountered the same problem? Any clues on how to fix it?
Just happened again while wifi connection was weak and I think it happens right before it got disconnected or switched to other connection mode or different wifi
Read around the forums that people are having bsod in combination with Tasker and secure settings to switch off secure keyguard, I never use this option, just use Tasker to automate sync processes, Uninstalled it nevertheless. Will see if it helps
Happened again... Noticed that the battery percentage drops quote significantly after the battery pool, here is the screenshot

This one is 378MB and reportedly brings support for Wireless Internet Service Provider roaming (WISPr) and also includes a fix for RTT (Real Time Text) and the April Android security patch. I have no idea if this update will really improve much of anything for us, but I have reluctantly installed it hoping for better battery life.
Enjoy.
And introduced new bugs which prevent many widgets from updating or working properly...
Can some body post firmware or OTA here?
Many people with 6.0.1 cant update. Waiting for firmware.
Has anybody had charging issues since taking the update? Seems like fast charge won't work for me unless the screen is off. If I'm watching YouTube or streaming anything it won't charge the phone at all. Charging at 282 mA right now with screen on, and 2,561 mA when screen is off. And only when it's off.
Besides the kernel being slightly more efficient on battery, so far I'm not seeing any real benefit of this OTA either. In fact, this morning as I was wrapping up a BT business call, I pressed the headset's call button to end the call. Nothing happened, I then pressed end call in the phone app repeatedly and it wouldn't hang up. I had to shut off Bluetooth altogether from the quick toggles in order to hang up.
That was a discouraging experience to say the least...

Fire HD 10 2019 (Maverick) - Schematic diagrams ?

Is anyone aware of the existence of those ?
Mid July, the tablet just froze, and I had to hold the power button for 40 secs to get it to shutdown.
Upon boot, I got stuck on the Amazon logo. So I tried wiping the entire thing using the recovery menu, with multiple mounting errors, and the process failed.
I didn't think much of it at the time, since I still had access to the recovery menu.
But now, it won't even go there, the screen stays black.
I opened the tablet, I know for a fact that the battery have voltage, and pressing the power button still do something since I'm able to read voltage at different test point that doesn't show activity prior to pressing it.
Also, using a USB charger, I get the 5V in, and the battery do charge, but very slowly.
At this point, the thing is a dead weight and I'm willing to use it for testing purposes.
THanks !
You must show the motherboard of your Fire tablet.
Here's the requested pictures.
