DPI Change Soft Bricked the device - How to unbrick? - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rooted the device Asus Zenfone ZE551 ML and then changed the DPI from 403 to 620.
SystemUI immediately crashed so I thought Reboot will restore the DPI but to my horror it didn't.
I tried to boot into Recovery but ZF is not booting into recovery.
If I am trying to connect using adb, it is throwing error: "Device Unauthorized"
Is there a way by which I can unbrick my device and get to change the DPI setting without formatting the complete device?
Please help.
Device Details:
Model: Asus Zenfone 2 (ZE551ML - 4Gb RAM)
OS: Marshmallow 6.0.1 (Asus Firmware)
Rooted: Yes (using the method mentioned at:

MTK 6582 - Allview Viva H10HD - new partitions issue

MTK 6582
Hello all,
I am referring to my reply here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2455850&page=132) but since I got no answer for some time I decided to open a new thread.
I was trying to replace the EBR files since yesterday on my Allview Viva H10HD (MTK 6582) tablet without success.
What I did:
1. Installed MTK Droid Root & Tools 2.5.3.
2.Pressing root rooted successfully the device
3.Pressing Backup then lead to state where the process doesn't go further and stops at "preloader_and_dsp" (pic2) for hours...2
4.Only choosing Turn on USB storage lead the task finish with error - "Zero file, no space left on device" (pic1) 1
Without having a backup I will not be able to use the firmware for EBR 1 &2 files change.
In Device Manager I installed the Mediatek Preloader VCOM driver but no change (pic5)5
As a device, my tablet is found as YunOS ACB devide (pic4)4
Windows 10 was started with disabled driver signature.
Can anyone advice what the issue could be caused from ? My internal storage is just too low (700mb after factory reset out of 5.96gb total)

Can you please send my the firmware. Thanks

Asus flash tool showing failed

hi..i have hard bricked my asus zenfone 551ml 4gb/32gb.lost bootloader,recovery everything.set was just vibrating and black.then used xSTFS loader and now regained bootloader..but when i try to flash raw image via asus flash tool it shows FAILED(wrong image format).i tried several times but same.it shows my serial no 123456789ABC..now i m really puzzled what to do.as most who bricked their set were succeded by this method here..so what should i do now? i dont have any asus centre here.plz help.thanx
serial number 123456789ABC is normal if you have ever used xFSTK program to reload the entire boot chain.
I gathered from the internet that Asus Flash tool will hang after it reloads the correct serial number. It thinks it is communicating with a phone that has SN 123456789ABC but then at some point the phone switches SN and Asus Flash Tool hangs.
You can get around this hang using several methods
1) restart computer after asus flash tool hangs
2) use second computer to load RAW image after asus flash tool hangs
3) Going into Windows Device Manager and disabling the Android bootloader device then re-enabling it (after asus flash tool hangs)
You can tell Asus flash tool is hanging when you run "fastboot devices" command and you see a device that is not serial number 123456789ABC
RAW image (to my knowledge) is only for xFSTK program.

i am facing something like you, cannot flash using AFT because after i click start on AFT, it always show "Flash image failure (FAILED (wrong image format))"
tried download raw file few time, in case corrupted, different version and different AFT version, run as administrator but still no luck still showing the same error
in fastboot mode, my serial number is looks normal but "bootloader version - unknown"...
i wonder if the phone bootloader have been unlock, so it cannot be flash using AFT.

you refer to the step "Flashing Firmware Without AFT", right??
because the phone which i wanna flash is not bricked yet, it still can turn ON normally. i just cannot hearing call in and out (not hardware problem since i still can hear and speak if calling using apps like Whatsapp, BBM, IMO or other chat apps). and also the IMEI of SIM 2 is unknown/Null...but the SIM 1 still can be used and the IMEI is there...tried update to latest OTA didnt solved it, so i think maybe need to be flashed using AFT.
so i did not do the steps before it...i wonder if it still OK??...

LG G4 Flash Stock ROM Problem

I have LG G4 and I flashed (upgraded) it through LGUP from 5.1 to 6.0 a couple of days back. This is what has happened.
Before Flashing:
Hardware - LG-H815T
Android - 5.1
Software - H81510p
Baseband - MPSS.BO.2.5.c3-00072-M8992FAAAANAZM-1
Kernel - 3.10.49
Build Number - LMY47D
IMEI - 357766060879504
After Flashing:
Hardware - LG-H818
Android - 6.0
Software - V20a-OPT2-HQ
Baseband - MPSS.BO.2.5.c3-00101-M8992FAAAANAZM-1
Kernel - 3.10.84
Build Number - MRA58K
IMEI - Same
This is what the problems are:
1. The phone turns on but the screen stays black all the time. There is one way to turn on the screen and that is by removing the battery and plugging it to the usb cable and when the screen blinks for the missing battery indication, holding down the power button and inserting the battery. This way the phone turns on as if it has no issues.
2. The internal storage is showing 22gb instead of 32gb.
3. I am unable to flash (upgrade or refurbish) the phone through LG Flash Tool 2014, LGUP and LG Bridge. All softwares partially work through the process and according to my analysis give an error at the point after establishing connection with the mobile when its the time to access the internal storage for writing system files on the phone's storage.
4. I am unable to conclude the model number of the phone because before flashing it was H815T, after flashing it is H818 and when I connect it to LG Bridge, it shows the connected phone as F500K.
5. I tried to unlock the bootloader of the phone by visiting the LG Developer site and when I came down to filling in the information of the phone like IMEI and Device ID derived from the instructions outlined, it does not accept H815 as the model number against the Device ID of my phone and secondly does not list H818 and F500K in the dropdown options.
I don't know what wrong have I done in my life to end up in a situation like this???
Hello there,
To solve this you need to edit a H815 tot file(if u dont have one download here https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24723757092307739) in a Hex editor(here a portable version of HxD wich i prefer http://mh-nexus.de/downloads/HxDde.zip, just download and run).
Open .tot in HxD, then you CTRL+F for "xVLG-H815" and replace H815 or whatever your tot have along with 'xVLG' to the model your phone is being recognized as(F500K in your case).
Almost done, just save and flash in LGUP using refurbish option
