So, my phone is screwed, I am screwed someone pls help - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have ZE55ML 4gb version. Ok so, tried manually applying an ota update to my phone, i renamed it to MOFD_SUPDATE or whatever its supposed to be. I did not unroot or anything. It didnt work i got the error error executing updater binary in zip. So then I wiped my cach/dalvik, data, and system like a moron reboot into recovery and tried the update again... well it failed again... so I tried to just reboot my phone and now its stuck on the damn ASUS powered by android screen... I can turn it off by holding the power button and turn it on the same way and it will be stuck there. I would have been able to fix this by myself but I cant boot into bootloader/recovery. Power+volume up doesnt do and neither does Power+volume down.... So what do I do am I just ****ed?

Hold power for about 10+ seconds and it will turn off.
Go to Original Android Developement and then find pre-rooted rom. The latest for the 551ML is 2.20.40.90, put the phone in bootloader mode and install the system.img file using fastboot.
Next time unroot...

Lol....

[Q] help with all in one rom load

I am new to the forums and have was refered by someone else to this site for rooting my evo, i located a new sprint lovers all in one rom. I followed the directions on for placing the zip file on the card and booting my phone up. I see it read and load the file once complete i am back at the fastboot menu. i take out the batt to reboot the phone and it still has all my items and does not appear to be running the software. I am i loading it correctly or did i miss something along the way?
Thanks,
Mike
Did you wipe and flash the rom?

no i just put the zip file on my sd card then holding down the "down vol" i powered up the phone. It then loaded the zip file and went back to the screen with fastboot, recovery, clear storage, simlock, hboot usb. i removed the battery and rebooted. I guess that is not the correct way.

Are you using amon?
I am not sure what you mean about amon? This is the thread i downloaded the all in one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118063
Are you S-Off? Turn off your phone, hold volume down + power button, and look at the screen. At the top, does it say S-Off?
If it says S-On, you can't do anything. If it says S-Off, then look in my signature for my recovery. AmonRa. Click the link, download the PC36IMG.zip and put it on the root of your SD card. Turn off your phone, hold volume down + power button, and look at the screen. It'll ask you if you want to update. Yes, you do.
Go back to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118063
Download the All-in-One again. Turn off your phone, hold volume down + power button, and look at the screen. It'll ask you if you want to update. Yes, you do.
It says "S on" what does this status mean?
So now i have spent the day reading all about rom's and rooting i have found most answers. S= security on since i have not rooted my device before. I now understand that there is nothing i can do untill a root is available for the 2.3
Is there anything that con be done to a stock non rooted device with 2.3 to get the wireless tethering ?
No wireless tether, sorry. Use pdanet for wired tethering, but look in the development section. There is a thread about modified Rosie that will work for unrooted.

Stock Bootloader loop, can't go into recovery mode, tried everything

I wanted to downgrade to 5.0 to unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery and ROM. Used the official FW from the Asus page, installed it from within the OS (android MM stock). It all went as expected until at the end of the install it rebooted and got into the bootloader screen instead of booting normally. It won't go into recovery.
Phone will NOT turn on with power button + volume down button, not ever.
Power button + volume up does nothing, it turns the phone on just like the power button alone would do.
Once in the stock bootloader if I select [recovery mode] it will simply reset and go back to where I was. I never get the dead android error, it just go back to the bootloader select menu
I get this screen

What can I do? all the tutorials I seen either asume I can get into recovery or use power button + volume down button which in my case doesn't works
Find images of system, ifwi, recovery etc. and fastboot flash them. you can try first with recovery only. the adb command will be "fastboot flash recovery recovery.

I looked at the guides, most require recovery on the phone to work (it doesnt here, just reboots back into the bootloader) and for some reason adb can't find this phone, tried on 2 different computers
BTW I tried with another android phone and adb worked just fine
How is it possible no computer can even tell this phone is connected at all?

Bricked Z2 pro

Hello,
I have a z2 pro, and i wanted to change the ROM on it. Since it came with a modified ROM, i flash a stock ROM. I then unlocked bootloader sucessfully.
I transfered the new ROM to the phone and did a
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
The phone booted with twrp correctly. I then did a wipe of system, cache and dalvik.
I tried to install the new ROM, but it prompted me the error "Unknown Command [log]". Having already installed a new ROM on another device, i remembered that disconnecting the usb cable or rebooting did the work, so i did both.
Now, the phone isn't recognized by my computer, so i can't redo the "fastboot flash", and when i go into recovery mode, it isn't TWRP that is loaded but this

Stuck on boot logo after magisk update

Hello.
So, my Tab has been working great for a while, with magisk and TWRP installed, today i thought i would upgrade magisk, so i did, both the manager and flashed the latest zip (directly in manager). Happy as can be, i rebooted the tab only to see it now boots up with a broken/distorted samsung logo, and it just keeps on trying booting, but never actually starts up.

So what im wondering, is there any way to save my tab without deleting everything? I have spent a fair amount of time setting it up, just the way i want it. (I can still boot into TWRP, and taking a backup of everything to my sdcard while writing this)
I tried unsu.zip it removed magisk, but still did not help.
Would it be enough to flash this with odin? (seems i cant copy files to device with usb in twrp)
Originak Marshmallow bootloader (I am on 6.0.1)
T800
T800XXU1CPI2
Edit: Flashing bootloader downloaded from xda did not work, "invalid bootloader" message in Odin
Edit2: Bit the bullet and flashed stock in odin, works fine now.

Delete Magisk from twrp and flash the previous one that worked correctly

Flashed corrupted boot image and now can't can't boot into bootloader or recovery

Hi all.
Did a stupid thing.
I downloaded firmware file for my Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G (SM-G988B) Exynos as an MD5 file and extracted the file which came out as a .img file instead of .lz4 (which I overlooked until the damage was done!).
So not noticing the file was the wrong type, I used 7-Zip to tar it, copied it to my phone's SD card, then patched it with latest Magisk manager app. After this, I copied it back to my laptop and flashed this file using Odin.
Result: Phone goes to insecure boot warning screen but of course here it goes wrong:
It won't proceed to booting up
Power+volume up key combination or power alone do nothing no matter how long you hold them in
It boots to to same insecure boot warning screen if you use either power+volume down, or power+volume down+volume up key combination with cable unplugged. With cable plugged in it restarts to a charging icon, which promptly freezes, and stays on the screen even if you unplug the cable.
I have managed to get it into stock recovery by holding power+volume up+volume down randomly once in a while (usually it goes to insecure boot warning screen as usual), but if I select Reboot to bootloader, it does not manage to open download mode, and hangs on red text that says "entering fastboot mode"
QUESTION: If I can get it back into recovery, is there a way to re-flash stock firmware without download mode on this device using ADB (or any other method)?
Or is my phone a brick for good?
FIXED!
I managed to flash an Android 11 One UI 3.0 Beta via ADB sideload. While it didn't finish properly due to corrupted boot image and possibly not the prerequisite firmware, all was not lost. It ran okay right to the end, when it said "installation aborted".
Once I had got this far Download mode was working again, THANK HEAVENS!
Opened Odin, and flashed away. I'm now back on Stock firmware and didn't even lose my data thanks to the vbmeta_disabled file I flashed in USERDATA section.
Talk about getting out of Jail!
