ZE551ML keeps vibrating, won't start. - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
Yesterday, as usual, i plugged my zenphone to its charger, but it almost instantly turned off and won't restart since.
The phone keeps vibrating every minute as if it was booting, but the screen doesn't light up, nor the led while charging.
I've read a lot of thread with similar problems, which were solved by replugging the battery, but this solution won't work for me.
Here is what i've tried so far:
-Changing the charger/cable
-Replugging the battery
-Leaving the battery unplugged over night, then replug
-Leaving the phone rest for 8 hours
-Pressed every possible combination of button for 20 sec
None of the above solutions changed anything.
I don't think that it could be a battery problem, the phone shut down at arround 40% and my multimeter still indicates a voltage of 4.20V at the battery.
Hope you guys will be able to help me !
Thanks

4.2 means battery more than 80 percent. you seems bricked. use the following guide step by step read everything carefully. any question post there in the thread. please search around before starting new thread.

@Solasmeryl
Was you in M when you bricked ?
If you was and are getting 'continuing to os ' error in xFSTK .
Try this > in xFSTK
1) fwr dnx = your normal file you used before
2)Ifwi = try this >
http://www.mediafire.com/file/xjhv9gfiv5sn7xx/tmp_17491-ifwi_ann_a0-mofd_v1-ze551ml1929259488.bin
3) is skipped = per usual
4) OS = your usual posignbin you used before
If you get bootloader now , it will be 0094.0183 for M , flash M raw file.
Then you flash M raw file (twice) in AFTools, raw M = 4.21.40.184
First flash for approx 3 to 4 mins, where on-screen cmds pauses on "RESULT=OK" on phone.
Close flashtools , force close.
Open flashtools again , input raw , press vol+ (once) and serial now is corrected , flash till it boots into system.approx 8 mins
Notes..
If serial number is correct after xFSTK flash , you only flash raw once only. Flash Twice if serial is 0123456789ABCDEF
.
.
When connecting to xFSTK. Connect data lead.
Press power and vol-, press download , connect phone, release vol- and power
If fail , press vol + and power till first of two vibes , release buttons , hit download button in xFSTK at the same time you release buttons on phone , tricky but you can do it .
There's AFT and links to needed files in my unbrick thread in my signature , even a video showing flashing procedure

Fixed LINK , added M .184 ifwi for xFSTK

@timbernot
Hi, thank you for helping me out, i didn't though my problem could be a brick, but my symptoms are the same.
I was running CM 13, so yeah, the android version was M.
I tried your IFWI file but it doesn't seem to have fixed anything, except, the phone doesn't vibrate anymore now.
I don't know i just accidentally destroyed the vibration motor or if the IFWI file has anything to do with it.

Nothing to do with Motor i`m afraid
Battery dead , will be the main cause .
Leave connected to charger for a good few hrs :good:
Each flash in xFSTK uses approx 10% battery , more if you sit there watching it `continuing to os`
See my video in link -- the button process and connection -- i do it just the once , admittedly i have unbricked many zens and know exactly when to press dload in xFSTK :good:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmbRaJijIBs&feature=youtu.be
ps cm13 was based on LP mainly , only the latter versions and cm 14 had bootloader upgrades.
So return to original flashing files

Just FYI, if you were on cm13 official then your base was LP not MM. Even though it's an MM rom

Ok, so i charged up the phone, went back to the original file as suggested. Vibrations are back, but i still can't figure out how to pass the "Continuing to OS" error :/
Here is how i seem to understand the steps:
1. I Click begin download (which start the 120sec timer)
2. I press Power and Vol - for 4 sec then release
3. I Connect the phone to the PC, hear the windows "device connect" sound
4.Messages show up in xFSTK, sometimes errors, sometimes the download begins, and back to the "Continuing to OS"
5.The phone vibrates, the software attemps 20 reconnect then aborts.
I've also tried a lot of different combinations such as pressing power after plugging, not pressing power at all, etc (The software indicates 41 tries).
It just seems that the phone is completely dead :/
Thans a lot for the help, i really hope that i doesn't bother you too much by making mistakes !

Do you usual flash , soon as you see continuing to os Press power and vol + , at first of of two vibes - release and hit download.
Note , if only one vibe , re press and keep pressed vol+ and power immediately.
Do press download first like in the video..but you have to double click it to stop and to begin again at the exact time of releasing at first of two vibes
Ps , depending on pc speeds etc etc , it is wise to come off the internet , disable anti virus , clean pc from junk, c cleaner free is good and do a reboot.
Also , some people report it just flashing after hrs of failures by just leaving phone connected after a failure with xFSTK still open, then restarting flash after a good break of half hr plus

No change :/ even tho i've tried every button timing possible i guess.
I've noticed that pressing Power and Vol- before plugging in the phone always leads to an error. The only way to get to the continuing to os is by pressing these buttons while the phone is already connected, and then hit download.
Could there be any other software problem that could **** things up and that i forgot to mention ?

Can you ignore xFSTK for a moment
try this without being connected to pc either.
(A)Press and keep pressed power and vol+ . Does your phone vibrate (twice) ?

Well , somehow you gotta release both buttons and hit download at the same time at first vibrations of the two .
Do what you need regarding pressing power and vol- to connect initially . Then go about trying to get the above two vibes process while downloading . Be fast to double click download at the first of two vibes --
Thats it !
That is all anyone has to do :good:
One other thing to try is - just try power , on its own(like power off), press and keep pressed after initial connection download process, once it vibrates - release and -- go for the power and vol+ 2 vibe process again. Get ready to hit download !
---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ----------
If that doesnt work ^^^ i will begin to start asking questions about the settings you have applied
Double check this ->
(fast forward to 18:30 mins in of this video for settings to be modified in XFSTK re... changing GP over ride to 0x80000807 ) . Make sure you modified the correct CRC+ box at the bottom

Hi, sorry for the delay, i had a lot of work the past two days.
I've tried everything you said, double checked every parameter, and even tried the manipulation on another computer, but there is no change.
The weird thing is, that if i plug the phone into the computer, it gets detected, but there is no vibe, so no way to know when to click on download. I only get vibes on boot if it is not connected in USB.
Moreover, i don't really understand what you mean by " double click at the first 2 vibes", since the button gets "gray" after 1 press, and there is no way to double click it.
I'm sorry, you have put a lot of effort into helping me, but i really think that my phone may be more damaged than a simple brick :/

Suggests it will be USB board /port /cable :good:
Do the same again with data cable connected to phone but not connected to anything to rule out cable :good:

I'm not sure to really understand your last sentence ? Do you mean like removing the 2 power cables inside the USB ?
I've tried with different USB cables, and no change either :/

You can now only pray it is the USB board and not Mainboard , order a new USB board and a `new` Data cable, do not use old data cables with new board just incase your phones charge port has altered pins on either or both cables or data cable has changed pins on usb or vice versa :good:
ps , make sure it is a quality data cable you order too, some sell data when only a charge cable

Is this phone Rooted? well try this pull the battery out put it back in, and press and hold volume down button and press power and see if you are able to get into boot loader...
tricky !
two options
1- check bootloader (volume down + power) , if it gets a white screen with options , you can repair the device.
2- if it does not go into bootloader , then first download Htc sync for desire z , setup the android SDK , then plug ur phone inn, in command prompt , type *adb devices* .
If it shows a serial number below List Of Devices , then get back to this forum and report
And the last thing is the power Hardware button fine ?? Although quite impossible , but the hardware power button might be faulty !!

Wasnt able to get into bootloader and nothing showing in abd lol
I unsinstalled and removed the driver that it was showing as when i plugged it in and now it lists itself as QHSUSB_DLOAD
After googling around it says this can be fixed with jtagging, and i know someone who does that so gonna let him take a look lol
And i know the power button is working as it doesnt show up in device manager untill i press it

as always JTAG FTW !!

Very very hard brick

Hello ..
I have a big problem !! I try to flash the Smartzen rom for try and after when my phone reboot..I have a bootloop
But the problem it's -> I don't acces to the bootloader and the recovery
I make power and volume + and i have vibration and just that
When i put the phone with the usb cable the phone doesn't charge.. and sometimes yes
And sometimes the phone reboot with a bootloop
I can't flash a new rom because my pc don't recognize the phone( just the sound when a device is connected) (it's normal i don't have access to bootloader)
And on the tutorial for the unbrick it's say " Ash back to the Zenfone 2, shutdown, press simultaneously the key "source" + "volume +", of course you will see a screen hanging cables. " but i don't have that...i have NOTHING
What is the solution please ?? Because i don't see any solution..

If you cant access bootloader i would suggest to use xfstk to reflash the bootloader. follow this guide. I had same problem and successfully recovered from a hard brick.

Basically as long as you followed the drivers install process correctly under device manager for a quick seccond you will see under IntelSOC you will see moorefield appear then disconnect. If that is good then your on your way.
Simply open xfstk follow the steps link to the proper files for your device, then hit begin download. While the counting is going down, turn on your phone as described in the steps and it should begin flashing.
here is a good video tutorial that helps - credit to timbernot

Usually when this happens xfstk lost communication with the device. Typically I encountered this when xfstk continued to flash the OS file.
In this case the fix is
To Go to Options to change the value in the Value section Override Flag GP 0x80000807. (Note the guide calls for 5 0's but only 4 0's will work)

This happened to me too - I solved it the dumbest way possible. The first time I set it up and ran it and it got through the first part and then failed to do the second. I just happened to have to go pick up a pizza at the time, so I went and got the pizza, came back, touched nothing, ran xFSTK again, and it worked! After that, I always ran it once, let it fail, then waited 10 minutes touching nothing, and ran it again. That always works for me (don't know why, and I know it doesn't make sense, but hey it works for me all the time)

Urgent help needed plzzz... My Asus ze550ml bricked

Please help me guys... i am trying my zenfone ze550ml alive again...
So i have messed up things and firstly lost my rom, then covery, then bootloader...
the device isnt power on, no vibration, no led, sometimes it is detected in xFSTK...
Tried download all the three files wiz dnx_fwr, ifwi, droidboot_dnx.img.POS_sign
so its all ok until firmware download it says succeed but something goes wrong then in continuing to os, phone tries to connect 20 times and failure comes...
Please help me guys you guys are the last options after researching lots of threads, videos
Press power and vol- press download in xFSTK - then ;
Try hitting download again in xFSTK at the same time just as you feel two buzzes release power too !
Remember that above and check my video in my signature below re settings needing to be changed in Xfstk too !
Phone is not vibrating... & yeah i followed your tutorial video but i am stuck at contuning to os
Thanks in advance...I flashed mm rom but in settings it showed 5.0... so my droidboot_dnx.img.POS_sign, dnx_fwr, ifwi files are correct as described in this guide? anyone have 6.0 droidboot_dnx.img.POS_sign, dnx_fwr, ifwi files?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-brick-soft-hard-bricked-zenfone-2-t3284256
press vol + and power until it vibrates release .
If phone is not vibrating you may need to recharge a while .
Those files will unbrick 5 or 6
you may need to detach battery for a second too !
you are close , also a good tip -- after a charge up -- attempt again , if fail - leave attached to pc and xFSTK open -- try again after approx 20 mins-- you have changed settings in box ending in [Bla bal +CRC] in xFSTK too
lets hope for the good... thanks for help:good:
Now i am facing annoying windriver error in xFSTK... my device isnt vibrate so the isoc drivers are installed correctly? because it says the device must be power cycled, power off, blah blah blah, during installation? When i click on finish it detects as a a moorefield device (ze550ml)? so whats wrong @timbernot
Now , you might need a new motherboard
send it to ASUS , when you get it back.
Leave it alone

Xa1 plus totally dead

Hello all
So my friend has an Xperia xa1 plus, she tried to install another room but she gut stuck in the middle of the process and had to disconnect the cable, now the phone is totally dead, it charges when connected to a charger and shows the red led, other than that it does nothing, we tried every reset method we found in the net, and none have worked.
So do you guys know any thing that we can do?
Thanks in advance!

Looking from the outside, it seems that I have been through something similar.
What I can advise is to carry out the process in this way:
1 - Shut the device down by pressing and holding Power and Vol + simultaneously. Wait a few seconds and it will vibrate once, more one second and it will vibrate 3 more times. Until it vibrates 3 times, hold Power and Vol + pressed. Only release it after the vibrations. So it will have shut down totally.
2 - After that, plug in the charger and make sure the device has at least 40% battery.
3 - If you have or when you have it, disconnect it, make sure it is completely off (otherwise repeat the first step), wait for about 20 seconds and make the flash process normally in Flashtool, preferably without interruption.
Let me know if it worked. Hope so.:fingers-crossed:

Question (Solved) Unbricking OnePlus 9 Pro without loading into the OS

Before you guys jump on me to refer to threads like this one. Just know, I've tried. Seen people say they found success after about 2-3 hours online and I can say I've topped that.
Unfortunately, I am not able to boot into TWRP and am just stuck on the FastBoot screen with my phones status being:
-----------------------------------------------
(bootloader) Verity mode: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: true
-----------------------------------------------
Can anyone point in the right direction on what steps I should take to remediate this? I've downloaded the proper apk tools (thats how I was able to get the above info using the fastboot binary), to include the MsmDownloadTool for Global, and India; even checking the "Use Lite Firehose" option.
I cannot load into TWRP, nor try flash recovery on an online one as it continues to say the device is in a locked state. Googling that just brings me back to Msm...
I am to the point where I don't care for simply resetting my phone entirely, losing all data, starting brand new, but only using my PC. Anyone familiar on how to do so?
If u can not use any fastboot commands bcux ur BL is locked...only option is going to be msm.. And like u mentioned above, clicking the box for "use lite firehose" and also my OP9pro would never connect for me with my usb-c to usb-c cable, I always have to my old oneplus cable from my OP7pro(old style cord with USB to USB-c, for some reason msm does not connect for me with newer style). Make sure u power off phone, then connect USB cable while holding vol+- buttons and click on enum until u see "connected" in column the click on start.. Once it starts running u can release vol buttons

Hey man, thanks for the quick response. I will give that a shot but, should this be on the "global" Msm application, or should I be using India's? Probably should use both is gonna be my guess...
I have global OP9pro and I'm able to use the correct msm(global) as long as I click the box for lite firehose.. And all the other things I mentioned. I've read where other ppl had no choice but to use India's msm and then local update back to correct(or preferred OS)..
Just remember if, once u try plugging ur phone into ur pc, if it keeps rebooting immediately even while ur holding both vol buttons, it is prob ur charger cable, so try a different one, older style(not USB-c to USB-c). If it is in edl(black screen while holding vol keys) when u plug it into ur pc it shldnt try to boot up as long as ur still holding them. That is when u will be able to click "enum" until it stays connected then click "start." if all is correct and still not showing connection u need to download and install oneplus drivers and try again..

7 hours man. 7 friggin hours. Everything I read was that I had to be on the FastBoot menu in order for msm to work. That did it.
India's version worked.
1.) Powered Off Phone.
2.) Pressed down on both Volume Buttons (+ & -) (Didn't let go at all)
3.) Plugged in the phone (while still powered off)
- Used a USB to type C connector.
4.) Clicked Enum on the Msm Application (had the app open already)
5.) Checked "Use Lite Firehose".
- Satus of Connection read "Connnected"
6.) Clicked "Start"
7.) Let go of volume button(s)
- Downloading began.
- Downloading finished.
- Rebooted my Phone for me and loaded me to a new start.
Can't thank you enough, and please excuse the redundant instructions. Just wanted to make it as clear as possible for future readers.
Glad u fixed it.! I've been in the same shoes.. Reading over and over through all types of threads here trying to figure out why I cldnt get my phone to connect to msm..so I know how helpless it can feel when NOTHING seems to work the way u need it to. Ur welcome
All you man. If you got one of them BuyMeACoffee accounts, feel free to post it.
Honestly felt like I had tried everything. Even switched to bing searches lol countless articles and forums. Im just glad its functioning again.
I'm good.. pleased that I cld help.. I saw ur post and no comments on it and knew I cld maybe help. Have good night(if that's what time it is for u).
Sure is! Good night as well!

THANK YOU. I had been strugling with bootloop + unauthorized device for several hours and I couldn't boot to EDL because some how me pushing the volume buttons did not get me to EDL. Earlier when I needed to get to the EDL I just "adb reboot edl".
