ASUS ZE551ML bought abroad and can't update - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good day,
sorry for going direct to the point but, i'm having trouble with my ze551ml, as it was not yet available in my country a few months back, i bought it online, and it seems the original firmware was CN, and it was just converted to WW before it was shipped to me, as i bought it via CC, i didn't return it to the online store. now the problem is that, i want to update the software but it always fails, even if i did manual update.
Device info:
-device is rooted(it was rooted already when i got it
Build number:
LRX21V.WW-ASUS_Z00A-2.13.40.13_20150401_8390_user
044030427_201501060109

Baseband Version
1509_5.0.18.00_0320,1509_7.0.10.0_0320
CPU-Z
also wondering, this was supposed to be a 64 bit phone right? but in the cpu-z it says
Processor: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU Z3560 1.83GHz
Cores: 4
Architecture: x86
CPUID: 6.5a.0
Codename: Moorfield
Process: 22 nm
P.S: is it possible to update if i flash the latest firmware?
BTW: Are these info safe to share?? Thanks

Yeah it's OK to share, you fail to update in recovery right? but you get the ota notification right? To me it looks like your build version is too old and it fails to update since newer updates require newer recoveries. Does ADB sideload fails too?

sorry can't understand much
ota doesn't see new updates, haven't tried adb, current computer has no android sdk installed, hopefully answered everything? but will install it now, also will finish latest stock rom in a minute
BTW: i'm willing to lose all data just to fix this problem

You have to try with adb, go in the recovery and you should see the adb sideload option, press it and connect to the PC, now download this http://forum.xda-developers.com/zen...l-windroid-universal-android-toolkit-t3206907 and go to command section and the sideload file. Now choose the lastest update available on asus site http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE551ML/UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.168-user.zip (here is a direct link), now your update should start it will take a long time so don't unplug the usb!!

Here is what i think, the guy who sold your phone have put the wrong recovery in your phone, by flashing the files i give you(in my good will i thought the recovery was the same as firmware version) you bricked the bootloader, to fix this you must perform the guide i give you (http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-brick-soft-hard-bricked-zenfone-2-t3284256), so i suggest you to do is backup all your internal storage to PC, backup everything you might need and do that operation when you have time, then you can update OTA

you don't need a pc to flash a rom, you just need it to transfer the rom itself on the sdcard... go into recovery, mount usb and that's it...it should work

Well now the problem by not being able to access sd is fixed, but i thought you need to do the commands Fastboot flash boot.img and Fastboot erase cache to install a new rom?

Yes, you have to flash new rom after a full wipe in recovery, boot into fastboot usb and use this command for flash the boot.img

Did you install HTC syncmanager ? If so uninstall it but leave the drivers on the pc !
Then put the phone in the bootloader and check if you see there

Go into the device manager, update driver but pick the supported device from the list (don't pin me on the exact way as im not on the pc to check now) select the android phone from the list and install it (or at least update it)....

Good, you might want to consider updating your hboot. That might solve some issues. The 1.28 contains some bugs.
It may have also something to do with jellybean because they removed usb mass storage in there. Only mtp is available.
The latest custom JB roms (at least some) are supporting usb mass storage again

You can obtain your 1.39 hboot firmware update here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957376
Its the first one in the OP.
Put the file in the fastboot folder and rename it to firmware.zip
Then put the phone in the bootloader and relock it
Fastboot oem lock
Then flash the firmware with these commands
Fastboot oem rebootRUU (watch the capitals, this command will reboot into a black screen with a silver HTC logo)
At that point you flash the firmware
Fastboot flash zip firmware zip (if it fails the first time, don't worry....just repeat the command until it says oke)
Then unlock the bootloader, reflash the custom recovery and install a brand new JB rom of your choice !

adb devices

oh rite, thats a balls. Dont think theres any other way. Try taking the phone apart and cleaning the buttons. ul be surprised at the dust there. Hopefully that will work. If it dont then the only other way is to flash an ruu via bootloader. What does ur phone say in bootloader?

Did you try running the adb commands that jmcclue listed above while in hboot?
Maybe try running fastboot commands such as "fastboot devices" to see if its recognized.

Hi Capone5,
One way to do it, is by downloading a recovery img ([url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1791371[/url] or [url]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474327[/url]) unzip and put it in the fasboot folder, plug phone in fastboot mode and type 'fastboot boot [filename].img'

You dont do "adb fastboot devices". You do "fastboot devices"
adb only works when phone is booted or stuck at boot animation, thats why i said try turning on phone then try adb while it bootloops r stuck at splash screen but his phone boots straight into bootloader. Also there is no command for fastboot to reboot recovery. Personally i would take phone apart and clean buttons, worth a shot.
@ op what boes it say in ur bootloader ?

Would fastboot work without selecting it in hboot? If fastboot is able to detect the phone, then he can use "fastboot boot recovery.img" to boot into a touch based recovery like 4ext (without actually flashing it).
Heres his bootloader:

the buttons of volume are broken and i try everything to just press - and nothing hapened...how can i load a new recovery threw fastboot?
Check your android-sdk/platform-tools/ directory to make sure the fastboot.exe is there.
If its not there, redownload the sdk and setup adb/fastboot using this guide. Also make sure you install these fastboot drivers
Then try "fastboot devices" again and hope that the phone shows up. If it does you can boot a recovery by doing this:
-Download the 4ext recovery img from here
-Extract the zip and put the recovery img in your android-sdk/platform-tools/ directory
-Run "fastboot boot recovery.img"
If its not showing up in fastboot im not really sure that you have any options, other than to do what jmcclue suggested.

This is where it get's stuck but:
It still reacts on USB connects changing from 'HBOOT' to 'HBOOT_USB_PLUG' but navigating or selecting an option is not possible.
Another thing, making me wonder, is that this screen appears, after just hitting the power button - it's not necessarry to kepp VOL Down pressed...
Hopefully someone can help me out of this,
Thanks in advance,

Setup adb/fastboot.
Download the 4ext recovery img:
http://www.4ext.net/ddl/bravo/recovery.zip (extract the zip), and put it in the platform-tools folder of where your android sdk is.
Boot the phone into fastboot (hold power and back), then use this command:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Once your in recovery do a full wipe and flash a ROM.

It needs to be recognized by fastboot not adb. Download and install HTC sync then uninstall it leaving only the drivers behind. Also install these: http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
Then boot the phone into fastboot mode (power and back) and run "fastboot devices" to see if it's recognized. If it is follow the instructions in my first post.

Later on, I'd like to flash CyanogenMod 7, so I already downloaded the suggested PB99img_cm7r2.zip.

During usual bootloader startup it says "No image or wrong size"

Later on, I'd like to flash CyanogenMod 7, so I already downloaded the suggested PB99img_cm7r2.zip.
I remember this has s.th. to do regarding partitioning, right? What do I have to do with this file?
Can I flash this with fastboot ?
During usual bootloader startup it says "No image or wrong size"
AS you may see, I know a little, but it's damned long ago...
Sorry for my worse english, but I don't know how to describe this better
Hopefully you can help me anyway,
Thanks a lot in advance!!

Use "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" to fully install the recovery. Rename the hboot(partition) file you downloaded to "PB99IMG.zip" and put it on the root of your SD card. Boot the phone into hboot and it will search for the file. When it finds it select yes to install it then reboot.
Go into recovery and wipe everything except the SD card then flash the ROM.

Hi,
thanks a lot for these great hints, but sadly I'm unable since yesterday to enter fastboot mode
System always starts into HBOOT - and dies, weather I press any additional keys to the power button or not...
Any alternative way to enter fastboot mode?

Hello, so i was working on my p1 and acidently flash wrong file and my huawei doesnt boot so i can go only on huawei fastboot so what i do ? its easy i think the huawei update pack with do something so start downloading it and put on sd card and i try to flash but what ? its say something error i try all the flash from huawei support no one from them doesnt work on my case so i decide to make some fastboot easy commands. But for you guys i decide to make it more easy so i put all my things on one program so everyone can work with it.The firmware i used to recover or better to say the base of this room is B194 and is Stock Rom nothing modified.
Must have adb or fastbooot installed on you pc if not my program offer you to install.
The pc must know your device you have a button check on my device (in my program if is there you device than you have good chance).
A cable .
And Brain most important.
https://mega.nz/#!JA8hXKha!YAm7sDVvaX1V5zgpRX19yvSjUy_n31j0NBhA_5uQBbQ
And this problem fix issue like mine if your device dont boot, if your device dont take stock rooms from sd card, if your device stay only on fastboot mode.
I think I have no brain.
Let me explain my case first.
Somehow my phone got bricked, it was never rooted or installed a custom room or install a recovery cwm.
I tried installing the stock firmwares from Venezuela carrier, and 2 General Firmwares (with volume up + power [sd/dload] and there was an error.
So now I try your method (Volume down+power) and then your program, I think it reconize the device and it appears there was no error in the install, but when I turn off and turn on the phone is still bricked (stuck only in huawei logo).
What should I do?
Sorry for my poor english...

What did you do to try to patch it? Why are you in adb? Does fastboot work?

Patched the boot.img using magisk and then flashed it. After patching, it totally cant boot and can only boot to bootloader.
tried alot of version of MSMtool and it will always fail with param preload error...
Then tried manually recover via extracting the payload using python then using adbtools to wipe and flash but it will also fail because some img files are unable to flash over to the phone...
Any other solutions?
U not able to flash boot the stock boot.img?
i am able to flash the stock boot.img to the phone but some critical img files will come out with
FAILED (remote: 'Flashing is not allowed for Critical Partitions.
')
fastboot: error: Command failed
You need to be in fastbootd,
Code:
fastboot reboot fastboot

Sorry, fastboot reboot fastboot (without the d)
@danjcxie
To be honest, I would download the rom and boot with the recovery image instead, I'll upload the image collection...
Will post a link here once it's up.
Actually, just noticed there isn't a recovery image, so boot to the default boot.img using fastboot, then see if the storage shows on your computer, copy the latest default rom over to the main storage folder then then go into Settings > System > System Updates and use the cog to do a local update using the rom zip.
That should re-install everything back to default, you might get lucky and still have all your data
My collection is for the Europe build FYI:

MD5 : 00227014483b4913a2624fac6f492434
So you would reboot the phone into fastboot mode by holding vol up during boot
Once you are in fastboot mode connect the phone to your computer
Test that the computer can see it properly using fastboot devices
You should see a number returned, if so then your computer is recognising the phone, if you don't then try installing the latest drivers from here
If fastboot can see the device properly then copy the default boot.img to the same folder as your fastboot.exe and type the following :
fastboot boot boot.img
You should see a message saying it's transferring it to the phone, then it should boot the phone using it, it's slower than a normal boot but, if everything else on the phone is ok, then you should see it booted and it should accept your lock method
Once you get into the phone using that boot.img, try connecting the phone to your computer and see if it's recognised, if it is then copy over the latest stock rom to your main storage folder, then go to Settings > System > System Updates and use the cog to do a local update using the rom zip
I'm guessing it should let you because it will see a difference between your boot image and the one from the rom.

Turn it off and try charging it
Also "fastboot reboot fastboot" isn't a valid command, there is an adb command "adb reboot bootloader" but that can only be run from within your rom from when you are in recovery with the phone connected

Yup tried. Everytime you just plug in the charging cable, it will just auto boot up and show the charging sign

Yeah that symbol isn't what I get, I get a blue lightning sign with the percentage underneath. Are you running OxygenOS or ColorOS?
I think it might be time for you to contact OnePlus support

Wtf are you talking about. fastboot reboot fastboot is literally the only way to get into fastbootd if you can't get to recovery or boot normally.
Regarding battery, that I'm not sure, hopefully someone can help
