Best method to unlock zenfone 5 bootloader without any freeze/random reboot! - Zenfone 5 General

I'm using RR 5.6.9 by @tank0412 for last one week.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5/development/rom-resurrection-remix-mm-5-6-7-t3357331
So far I didn't face any freezing or random reboot issues. What I did is as below:
1. Flash/downgrade to UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.21.40.30-user firmware.
If you know how to flash stock firmware then skip step 2-12 and just flash it by yourself. These steps are for new users.
2. TURN OFF the device. Press and hold Volume Up+Power to enter to fastboot/droidboot. When the ASUS logo shows up, release the power button and keep on pressed the Volume UP button. This will take you to droidboot/fastboot mode.
3. Check whether your PC detects the fastboot...
Code:
fastboot devices
if not, go to device manager and install the fastboot driver(by online). if fails, install from the PC by selecting the android device from the list.
4. Download this image UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.21.40.30-user.zip: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Ze...user.zip?_ga=1.61130092.1708615694.1457697474
If you have different SKU, you need to find the right firmware(version-2.21.40.30) here: https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone_5_A500CG/HelpDesk_Download/
5. Extract fastboot.img, boot.img, recovery.img from the zip file and copy to ADB folder to flash. Copy UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.21.40.30-user.zip to ADB folder as well.
6. Run the below commands:
Code:
fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
wait for reboot.....
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
7. Then go to recovery by selecting from the menu, you will an android logo with "!" sign. Press power+vol down+vol up sequentially and simultaneously, don't release any of the buttons. You should be in recovery mode.
8. In the recovery, select wipe data/factory reset
9. Select wipe cache partition
10. Select apply update over adb sideload
11. Now check whether your PC detects the ADB over USB. if not, go to your PC's device manager and install the ADB driver online. if fails, install from the PC by selecting the android device from the list.
12. After successful detection, run below command
Code:
adb sideload UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.21.40.30-user.zip
13. Download this official tool for Unlock Bootloader: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Ze...rel.zip?_ga=1.117083014.1481752799.1464212721
A501cg users should get the tool here: https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone_5_A501CG/HelpDesk_Download/
14. Extract the downloaded file and copy the .apk file into you SDcard. Install that .apk(if it says untrusted app, then go to settings>security>enable Unknown sources).
15. Run the installed app and press unlock. wait and let it reboot. After this, your Asus splash screen will become white & bright.
16. Now do a clean flash for any custom rom.
You guys can try it. :highfive:
Note: Few users are having "No Camera" issue for unlocked bootloader. This method will not fix that. Sorry about it, I'm a victim as well.

Well weather this method would work is debatable since I have used various methods posted on ozanks thread but non have worked I even used a debricking method and it still didn't fix freeze this method would only qualify and a downgrade from roms after this

First of all, please don't quote the whole OP while you are replying.
Yes, it won't work for your device as you have a501cg. You need to get the official unlock tool from this site: https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone_5_A501CG/HelpDesk_Download/
Before that you have to flash or downgrade to *.30.zip firmware.

Better to give a try. It's been 8 days now and I didn't face the freezing or reboot issue. BTW, which debrick process did u try?

Actually a501 has the SAME unlocker as a500cg. There's only one app that unlocks a wide variety of Asus devices. (Zen6's different afaik).
And we tried to install 2.21.40.30 for base as well and it changed nothing.
And unlocker application doesn't change the working mechanism of phone (we decompiled it).
So, are you sure that you tried to use heavy applications like Youtube or some games?
If you get any user that reports freezes gone; i will try it again with your method.
Thanks for your contribution. Good luck with your method. :laugh:
Btw assuming you have a500cg, that phone can be fixed imo.

Bro, I'm a heavy user. Many of us had faced forced close for 8 ball pool game. I had it too but after this method no forced close happened again. I'm not sure whether a500cg and a501cg have same app for unlocking. It's a bit confusing to me as they have different sites to download their firmwares and tools. But I'm sure, what ever the phone is a500cg or a501cg, the tool will work if the user has *.30.zip firmware installed.

Yes because the tool seeks for if.bin on firmware folder and it copies to the sysfs. (You're doing same thing on fastboot when flash ifwi if.bin)
So that's why I don't believe the unlocker tool fixes something.
Anyway, thanks; I will wait for another users that solved the issues with your method and then take a look with my phone.

It froze again about 3 hours after I had unlocked with asus tool & flashed RR 5.6.9. And I hate that white & bright splash screen anyways, thanks so much for doing research. I believe we will find out a way to solve this problem some day.

Extract splash.bin from rom:
fastboot flash splash splash.bin
or
fastboot flash splashscreen splash.bin
I don't remember which was doing this, but try these

this is not due to bootloader
I have no problems with bootloader
8 ball force closed on all custom MM rom's
I have no problems except "freeze on 8 ball"
all custom MM rom's used dgadelha's device tree
I think there is a mistake in this

You are right. Most of the cross platform developed apps are crashing. It seems like something is wrong with the JavaScript's render engine. I don't play with ROMs. Hope ppl will come forward to have a fix. But to my utter surprise it's been 10days, I still don't have any freezing.

Before, following your method with 2.21.40.30-user.zip was not success, but downgrade to 2.22.40.540-user.zip is ok. Unlocked with black logo, white ground but can not flash TWRP, how can install cooked ROM?

My phone is Asus Zenfone 5 T00j A501CG WW. It has 1.6 GHz CPU, 16 gb internal, 2 gb ram. Can this method work if I get the stock firmware you mentioned?

Hi I am new to Android, I follow the steps as mentioned. But not able to after step 7(Press power+vol down+vol up sequentially and simultaneously, don't release any of the buttons. You should be in recovery mode.), I am not go to recovery mode. The phone goes power off mode and is not starting again. Any help is appreciated.

[GUIDE] [Huawei Ascend G300] Unlock bootloader and gain root access.

Welcome all Huawei Acend G300 users, this is a full guide prepared by me which will help you unlock your bootloader and not only that but it will help you gain root access for system modifications and root required applications.

Keep in mind, this method is not confirmed working if you're running android 2.3.x [ Gingerbread ]. So do not use this if you're running it. Also dual sim ones aren't supported from what I see it tempers with the phone, I haven't tested it but many have reported it doesn't work on dual sims.
Lets get started shall we? Firstly I have gathered up some useful resources that will help you get started. Make sure you read this guide first, from top to bottom. Then continue. As you must have a clear understanding on what you are going to attempt. If you have any queries don't hesitate to ask on the thread itself.

I have performed these exact steps and have successfully unlocked my bootloader and rooted the phone. So if you're worried. Don't be. After attempting this I haven't noticed any issues either.
Okay, first of all you will need to download Unlockbootloader ---> View attachment unlockbootloader.zip
Once you have downloaded the said .zip extract the .exe file inside the .zip to your desktop.
Continue by turning on USB debugging on your G300. if its already switched on then skip the part below..
Go into Settings>Developer Options and tick the USB Debugging option.
Once its switched on, plug your phone to the computer using a USB cable.
So far you've downloaded Unlockbootloader, have switched USB debugging on, and your phone is connected to your PC.
Now run the .exe file you have just extracted. Click "Root" and let it do everything, it will prompt up with a few warnings saying don't use your keyboard because CMD is running.
Once the setup finishes, your phone should be rooted.
Head into the app drawer, and if you see "SuperUser" you're now officially rooted.
Reboot your phone to finalize the rooting and exploits.
Ok, now for the bootloader.
Once your phone is on, and connected again to the PC with debugging mode on, run the .exe file again and this time click "Unlock BootLoader".
Wait for it to do its job, once done reboot again and you now have a Stock Rooted and Bootloader unlocked ICS phone.

Hi, assuming you have installed the g300 adb drivers, once the device is hanging on the boot logo and you connect the usb cable. You need to wait for windows to fully the load the adb driver before you use the unlockbootloader.exe program.

What you have to do is,turn on debug, then power off device fully by pulling off battery then putting it back in, now you must power on by golding the volume down button and power button at the same time, this should get it to be stuck on the huawei logo screen, now plug in your USB cable and wait for you PC to detect the phone and it should automatically install the devices driver's, one its done the now open the folder and run .BAT files, If you are experiencing problems here's a link for another guide : View
Hi,
After the "Unlock BootLoader", my phone doesn't boot. When the logo appears it stars to reboot again and never goes beyond that.
Any ideas ? Have I killed it ?

Turn ur phone completely off. By pulling out battery then apply the battery again.
Now hold volume down and power button and it should be in boot loader mode. If ur logo is stuck well this is in boot loader if not and it continues well.. idk

Hello krishneelg3,
I have tried a method on http://huaweig300.com but I'm stuck with the problem.
Installing USB drivers/Root/Backup IMEI went OK. Then by mistake I skipped the Step on page 5. Check Baseband and kept continued by Bootloader & ClockworkMod all went OK until the step 10. On page 6. After executing BootloaderG300.exe the phone rebooting cyclically, My operator screen appear for a approximately one second and the phone restarts again. How to resolve the problem and is there any hope to return to official ROM?
Thanks in advance, I really appreciate it.

What was ur baseband and were u running gingerbread?
If u r on official ics then this guide is for u, if not notify me.
PS : If you are running Gb I refer you to look into this guide, as long as your phone can boot into bootloader your fine, and I'm sure it will boot into Bloader mode : http://www.modaco.com/topic/353386-how-to-root-your-huawei-ascend-g300-for-windows-mac-and-linux/
Thanks krishneelg3,
my baseband is 109808, and I'm running GB.
The problem is that I don't know if I'm in a Bootloader mode when I see a pink screen?
When I press VOLUME DOWN + POWER it starts same as when I press POWER, first logoo (in my case picture of my operator) it lasts for about few seconds, then phone reboots and start doing it cyclically.
The other thing is that, when I press VOLUME DOWN + VOLUME UP + POWER, it then turns into a pink screen.
In that state (pink screen), when I plug in my phone to my PC, PC recognize my phone without reading sd card or internall memory.
So what should I do?
Thanks man, really appreciate it!
Guys,
I solved the problem.
I've just followed the instructions in step 5. on the site http://huaweig300.com and put a new update.app (1 KB) and copy it to the dload. After that I've used main dload (ICS folder, aprox abot 600 MB) and everything updated and installed successfully.
Thanks.
p.s. if anyone has or had the same problem, do not hesitate to ask.
hi all
sorry to hijack the thread
I have just got my son an ascend 300 which is locked to vodafone
its on android 2.3.6
the build number is
u881v100r001c02b892
i have a download of HDU88151079V100R001C00B934 which is the ICS but i dont think that will work for my build
ideally i want ICS but dont mind too much waiting.
but i do want to be able to get of all the bloatware.
I guess i need to root to do this.
the link to the modaco site is down and it seems this is for those lucky enough to be on ICS
would i be better off upgrading to ICS then following the method above or would i be better finding a method to root under gb (If so where)
many thanks

OK get the official pics update b927* must be that build.
After its done downloading, extract its contents to your memorycard of the phone.
Make sure the update.app is in the root of SD card .
Then power off phone, remove battery re apply battery and hold the three buttons "volume up, volume down and the power button" until a screen pops up it will then install the stock ics once its done it'll reboot twice.
If only one it doesnt matter.
Setup the phone. Now to install b934 or newer versions use cwm for dazzozos repacks or the update force method. But I advice u to look for help on modaco. Thanks.

Thanks for that by b927* you are referring to a different version of HDU88151079V100R001C00B934 ?
where would i be able to get this from?
so this would give me the stock ics
what is the advantage of then installing HDU88151079V100R001C00B934 ?
Thanks

Your on gingerbread so your baseband Is 109808 and if u flash any b934+ stock using the combinations say goodbye to your phone. I did that to my brothers and it bricked.
So to get to ice you must install b927 version of ics then your baseband will change to the new one *2030* now you can flash any b934+ stocks because you now have the new baseband.
Go to modaco and enter the G300 forums and look at the first dew pages all the info and guides you need. Procedure is simple.

Nexus X bootloop

Ok so here it is. I never post things on XDA because usually if you take the time to read and do some searching through google you can resolve your problems.
Anyways here's my problem. I traded my Blackberry Z10 (piece of sh**) for a Galaxy Nexus at a pawn shop. :highfive:
I was pretty happy to get my hands back to an android device and start flashing custom Roms and all that buzz.
It was instantly rooted when i got home, flashed a slimkat rom on there and had fun for a bit. :good:
Then my data connection was not working, so i flashed an AOKP Rom over top of the old rom without wiping anything previously. I did make a backup through TWRP but then i couldn't touch the screen in TWRP (power button still locked it though) so i gave up with that and tried CWM. NOTHING.
Now, 5 fuc***g days later, after searching, downloading, flashing stock images, following directions. I am still staring into this annoying as hell "X" boot loop.
I swear to you that i have tried absolutely everything I can possibly do to get it to stop.
-downloaded about 3 different google factory images
-tryed to un-root and re-root
-tryed to wipe the boot.img, system.img, userdata, bootloader, recovery, cache
-re-locked and un-locked bootloader (oem)
-I have tryed two different toolkits (Wugg's and Skipsoft) and i swear i have pushed every god damn button on both toolkits by now
-I even called google just to see what they would say, they just got me to go into the stock recovery and factory reset and clear the cache part.
-then google support told me to call samsung , just so they could tell me to do the exact same thing as google.
-the drivers are all installed correctly, but it will only recognize it in fastboot
-I cant even try an adb logcat command to see what is happening because USB Debugging is not on (not like i can turn it on)
Please if you think there is something that i have not tried go ahead and shoot at me with some kind of direction
***UPDATE**** to anyone who is reading this
I have fixed the bootloop. all thanks to legija (SEE- (http) forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f634/unbrick-dead-samsung-gt-i9250-galaxy-nexus-gt-i9100g-gt-i9300-1465412/)
it had somthing to do with Omap. - LINK for omapflash- (http) d-h.st/XNv
if you may have the same problem as me follow these steps
1. Download the zip file created by Legija
2. Extract zip to whatever location you're comfortable with (I used Android directory)
3. Open up Device Manager (Hold down Windows Key, press R, the type in devmgmt.msc and press OK)
4. Go to actions menu, select Add Legacy Hardware
5. Choose install manually, then have disk. Browse to where you extracted the zip, select the 'inf' file in usb_drv_windows
6. Choose OMAP, you'll get a popup if on Win 7, continue anyway (driver not signed)
7. Once completed with driver, pull battery out of phone, then plug it into USB
8. Double click omap4460_tuna_hs_pro.bat to start the process. Once you see "Press any key to continue..." close the CMD window and proceed to step 9
9. Unplug from USB, put battery back in, and power-up!
10. Extra step - depending on what's been done, it may 'brick' again - suggest to do a restore or a wipe reinstall afterwards to be certain (mine bricked again next reboot)
Hi,
I don't guaranteed if this works but maybe you could try Odin and reflash through your PC

I can put into odin mode, but if i plug it into my computer the device inst recognized. It just stays at the "downloading... do not turn off target" screen. So im not to sure how i would go about re-flashing it.
But thank you for the reply. Sir:good:
Was your bootloader still unlocked when you tried to lock it?

yes it was. would it make a difference?
Honestly i have even tried the ODIN program 2 different ways (just as xamxamas suggested) and now im thinking that the kernal has something to do with it.
Well I think you have a fried eEMMC (your internal storage is dead). When you reboot everything was as it was before no matter what you did?

Flash, Recover and Restore Dead OPPO N1

Yesterday I tried to flash Color OS 2 Beta posted here. although the rom is not for the Oppo N1 W the XDA member cleonardo insure that it works very well. Then I flashed it in my OPPO N1, everything is ok during flashing, but then the phone freeze and the screen became black, I tried to go to recovery but nothing happened, I also connected the phone with my pc, flashed recovery, nothing happened and I thought my phone is dead. I could not find any solution for that, no one experienced the same situation. I post my problem in the same thread and he replayed (Dont worry , when you complete flash , at screen appear text chinese black colour , you wait some minutes), but i wait alot of time, restart my phone, i even put it for one hour to start and nothing happened. During my search, I came to this link: http://www.shuame.com/faq/restore-tutorial/547-oppo-n1-oppo-n1t.html in Chinese, using google translate I figured I can use their software to restore my recovery through RootGenius software, and then I can flash the stock or CM 10 or even CM 11 M8 again. After many hours, finally, I recover my phone again, flash the stock recovery and it came to life. Now everything working again. With this software, you can download roms, flash roms and recovery, use fastboot and even root your phone. You just need to connect your phone to it, ensuring that the USB debug is on, accept any notification and then you can browse your phone, flash roms and custom and stock recovery. It is the only way I found to recover my phone when fastboot not work, note that the ADB in the software is not working too but you can reboot in the fastboot with one click on the software itself.

thanks in advance for your help my phone is dead pls pls help
Hi, if your phone is totally black, when you connect it to the PC insure that you connect through the recovery (which will looks black too) then open the software in your PC, let it connect to your oppo, then open the tool area (an icon with 4 dots), select recovery ( the third one on the second row) open it, in the open window select the yellow folder and choose the stock recovery Oppo.N1.Recovery.1.0.0 ( search for it in the internet) then press the right Chinese icon. Now you can access the recovery again and flash the ROM back.

If you fail in the first step, try connect again with the same steps, then use the fastboot icon to restart on fastboot, then use the recovery icon again.

many thanks for your help
This is normal, just reboot into recovery through the software itself. When you select the recovery file there is an option to accept replacing the recovery, just tick yes... After flashing the recovery just boot through the software

First thing first that please don't quote the whole OP, its very long and consume much space. Now brother I don't know that its working for A093 or not as I don't have the device and now I have also sold the A104.

Hi man,
I did the whole procedure properly and the top half of my phone screen is inverted.. Not the display, but the touch only.. I must touch the center of the screen to pull down the status bar.. (Know what I mean?) I can't seem to fix the issue.. I tried flashing stock recovery.img, didn't work. Tried stock rom, didn't work. Did a full wipe too.. I'm not blaming you, I just need your help.. Any idea why that happened or how to fix it?

Hey, Just in case you are still having that issue. I figured out the cause. Its because of the boot.img we flashed. The new hardware components used in our phones are not compatible with the old boot.img we flashed, which is supposed to be of earlier Firmware version. Please download the package below and flash it.
http://clicknupload.com/xdpt8n2w3oho
I assume that you must had already flashed the complete old firmware, you need to flash this new firmware. I havnt flashed old FW so just flashed the new boot.img of this package and the problem is solved.
This is a request to the thread owner to please mention this in OP that the users with V8.1 (can be checked in Settings >> About Phone >> Build Number) should uncheck boot while flashing, however it will cause same inverted touch issue in recovery but it can be managed with the volume buttons anyways.

Brothers,
When I bought this device then I downloaded it and made the rooting n recovery guide after testing it for three times on my device. If later the oem has changed anything in firmware then I'm sorry but I cannot update it as now I don't have this device anymore. If you want recovery for this device then please uploaded your boot.img from latest firmware and I'll make a recovery for you but after 7 days from now. currently busy in funeral of my Grandma.

If you guys, like me , are stucked in an unrooted N1 without Google play services i'll post you this guide on How to port Nokia N1 from A5CNB19 to A5FMB19 without a rooted device.
First of all download the A5FMB19 recovery.img
Then download the A5FMB19_update.zip
Important! BOOTLOADER MUST BE UNLOCKED!
Unlock bootloader:
1) Go to your Developer Options and switch on OEM Unlock (4th in list)
2) Plug your N1 to your computer
3) Open your Minimal ADB and Fastboot as administrator and type
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
3a) Otherwise press and hold Power + Vol down
4) Once you're in fastboot mode type
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
on your device, press Vol Up and then accept with Power button
Now your bootloader is unlocked and you can flash the new recovery!
Flashing a new recovery:
1) While in Fastboot mode flash the recovery image with the following command :
Code:
fastboot flash boot recovery.img
WARNING! DO NOT LOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER AGAIN OR THE DEVICE WILL FACTORY RESET BY ITSELF!
2) Now you can Normal Boot your N1 .
3) A Black screen with 2 advice will appear .
-Start by pressing power button
-Factory reset by pressing Volume Buttons.
4)PRESS POWER BUTTON
5)The green droid will display and now you can enter in recovery pressing Power button + Vol Up (DO NOT HOLD THEM)
6)go to " Apply update from ADB" with Vol buttons then enter pressing Power button
7) Upload stock FMB19 update with the following command:
Code:
adb sideload A5FMB19_update.zip
Wait for it to install.
.
.
.
.
8) Lock your bootloader by
Code:
fastboot oem lock
when in fastboot mode
9) Enjoy your Google played Nokia N1
p.s. 1st boot up will take a while

Will this procedure work on a A5CNB19 5.1.1 that has no root and locked bootloader? What are the chances for it to get bricked? Thanks in advance
PS: there are a couple of techies in tailand that say they are able to install CHPlay trough Teamviewer

The A5FMB19_update.zip download server is now offline. Does anyone have the zip still?

You shouldn't try Teamviewer with this kind of "techies" . They can do something bad with your PC or your device as well, I don't trust this kind of things.
Anyways i was stuck in a A5CNB19 without root acces and google play services. To "unlock" my N1 I downgraded it first at the 5.0.1 (I don't remember the firmware code) and then i flashed the Taiwan version (A5FMB19) which actually has Google Play Services installed. Anyways i'm coming with bad news. Unfortunatly I don't have the files you need to downgrade and then to upgrade, anymore. You should try to check out here on XDA if someone has these kind o files. I'll check somewhere if I'm able to download them again and upload them on google drive or something different. Hope I helped you

How did you downgrade back to 5.0.1? I'm in the same situation actually (currently on 5.1.1 A5CNB19). My N1 is mostly in good condition but it's completely dead in terms of software support so I thought maybe I could bring it back to life with Google Play store.

TheDuke94's methos worked well for my N1. Just saved it from being 'bricked'.
Really wanna thank you.
It's now 5.1.1. No longer update available. But still fine for me.

Glad it worked! I had the same issue when tried to flash magisk xD anyways still not able to do that, but I'll try to install a lineage OS or something lime that. Unfortunatly, N1 is a Foxconn device so nowadays Nokia (HMD Global) doesn't have anything to bring back to life this device (which still has great hardware specs). BUT I hope a ROM will come for N1 , cause it is a Stock Android device

Just tell us how to flash LineageOS when you secceed. LineageOS was a much better choice for older devices. I just flashed 14.1 for my N7, and it revived. With normal usage, around 5 hrs. SOT, thanks to LineageOS. As I checked, there has been no such Lineage file for Nokia.N1, which was X86-base chip.
Nokia/Foxconn no longer supports N1 device. And it was so pity! N1 is much better off when comparing specs with Nexus.N7. I can get also 5 hrs. SOT with N1 on average usage, but with much brighter screen. And it's faster than N7. So, LineageOS would be a great choice for N1.
All the best wishes to you, TheDuke94. And hope the LineageOS for N1 will come, not long in the future.
Ok people, got strange news.
First , using this method -----> https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-n1/development/iovyroot-nokia-n1a5cnb19-a5fmb19-t3466897 I was unable to set root. Then , i rebooted my device, tried again and the result was this :
Now , I downloaded Root Checker in the playstore and it says I don't have Root Permission I think the thing will be much easier using Magisk Manager
Not a geek, really can't help much…but hope everything's good with you, @TheDuke94.
Any Good news, since Apple just released new iPhones?
