So first unplug your phone from your pc otherwise it won't work.
Than I had the same as you in the picture with the recovery 'stuck' but for it simply worked if I reboot straight again into recovery via the three buttons.
Hope I could help

Different stock recovery only can install certain ROM? I tried B125 already cannot. Any other recommend ROM for me to try? I rmb I flashed a quite latest stock recovery

then try the b510 or the b634..
jb recovery can only install jb rom..so do kk recovery only install kk rom as i know..
if nothing brings success try the unicom rom..

You still have your usb cable plugged in. It will NOT work like that. @taaeem has already mentioned that.
What was the previous firmware that you had installed?
If it was a Chinese firmware, you need to try flashing this file first: https://mega.co.nz/#!8kcVADpB!JKeDlX4WQhmAP3mclNTfIzIjVllw5sMhnrj-3KSpSc4

maybe the sdcard causes this error too..had this with a 16gb fuji card..with a 8gb noname it worked..
and unplug your phone before flashing..as mentioned..

hi miz_pimp, if i do not plug in the usb cable, it will directly go into fail as showed in the picture124 i attached below, I do not rmb what firmware i installed previously, but I did a full wipe, I do not think thr is still firmware inside beside stock recovery.

very strange..
maybe you do a all again..
starting with flashing a stock boot.img and recovery.img (from the b512 rom..you can extract them by the update extractor from here..just search)..
then try to flash the b512 rom by the force update method (press and hold the buttons until you see the update process starting!)..
id this fails too..well..i don't know how to help then..
if there was a cn firmware on your device (as mentioned) then search for the unicom firmware and read how to flash this and do a eventually downgrade at first)..

i cant even flash my recovery, when i use adb, it just shows me waiting for device, then no response. I tried most of the ways but no one can help......

hm..what might help is that you install the device drivers again..i had in the beginning a similar problem..after reinstall of the device driver (there is a package by lesscro on this forum) my device was seen even in bootloader mode correct..

Have you tried the file that I linked to above?
I think your problem is that you flashed the incorrect recovery version for the firmware you had on your device.
Unless you used TWRP to completely wipe your device before you flashed your stock recovery (which was not at all necessary), then you should still have a firmware on your device.

Asus Fonepad 7 FE170CG

Hello, friends!
It's been a really long time after my Q900 and X3D-SE...
For those who are having trouble with Asus Fonepad 7 2014 FE170CG in terms of softbrick, kindly take some time to read this thread.
I am currently on Latest Kitkat with version: 11.2.3.33
1.) In terms of Rooting(Offcourse YES, this tab is rootable) i rooted this device with Rootzenphone.apk(attached below). Kindly follow the tutorial here to root the device. When it doesn't get rooted in first time, repeat it. I got it rooted at 1st time itself. After rooting, i removed all the apps i don't need!
2.) To update your Fonepad, download the appropriate zip firmware(zip rom) from the Asus site. Download the matching SKU's only. For eg: WW-WW, CN-CN, JP-JP etc... And i really don't know about installing CN firmware over WW variants. After downloading, rename your file accordingly. Eg: UL-K012-WW-11.2.3.33-user.zip to k012_sdupdate.zip and put the file in the root of external SD card. Time to backup all your critical data! Finally switch off your tab. Now press Vol up + Power buttons until you see the Asus logo. If you are in Jelly Bean, the options are slightly different where you have to choose SD update. Your tab will now reboot to recovery, installs the update and reboots back to the installed firmware. On the other hand, if you are in KitKat, the options like SD download and SD update won't be available because they are removed from the newer Fastboot images. The SD update and SD download are now replaced by recovery option which is the one you need to select. After that device will reboot and install the updates.
3.) To downgrade the firmware to JellyBean, download the appropriate version of the firmware file(I used UpdateLauncher_K012_WW_10_32_1_33_1.zip) and follow the steps as above. Your device will be downgraded. In this version the options on the Droidboot menu will be different from the KitKat version. Just choose SD update to install any other updates.
4.) This is the main part for which i am creating this thread!
THE SOFT BRICK
I was pulling off my hairs for about a day trying to figure out the problem.
Reason for my softbrick: I got a feeling that my device was slightly going slow and the amount of available free RAM was only 200MB. SO, i was considering to Downgrade the firmware from Kitkat to Jellybean. I downloaded the Jellybean firmware UpdateLauncher_K012_WW_10_32_1_33_1.zip from the Asus site and installed it using the method above! Everything went fine and device booted to JellyBean with the familiar interface. Everything was fine but i noticed that the device was slightly heating up and was missing many features like dual apps etc... Hence i decided to go back to KitKat which is were all the problems began! I downloaded the latest firmware UL-K012-WW-11.2.3.33-user.zip. Installation begun as usual but at the end, installation was terminated with a message error. I was shocked! When i rebooted the device i got a USB icon with a red progress bar in a second and went away! The device neither booted nor charged! I repeatedly tried this procedure but failed continuously. I booted to the Droid Boot and saw the firmware version was fine and can't figure what the problem was! But i noticed that the same JellyBean firmware installed again without any glitches and booted fine. When i tried the Kitkat firmware, it failed again and device didnt't boot. This is tricky part! So, i downloaded the first kitkat firmware UL-K012-WW-11.2.3.18.2-user.zip after the JellyBean and tried to install it. To my suprise, the installation went fine and device booted up with that KitKat firmware. Now i put the latest Kitkat firmware UL-K012-WW-11.2.3.33-user.zip to the external SD card and tried to install it and it successfully installed :victory: :victory: Now i am back on the latest firmware
My recommendation : If you do anything, make sure to backup data and have knowledge on what you are doing. Thanks for reading this thread. Please press thanks if i helped you!

Lollipop update has been released some time ago. Please remember to unroot before you update or else you'll get soft bricked.

downgrade and ota update
In lillipop i got major laggs and baterry drained more than 50% over night in standby mode.
So I downgrade to latest kitkat WW_V11.2.3.33 from asus site, using fastboot and intel temporary cwm recovery.
It works great but now ifwi is 64.33 from lollipop, not 64.25 from kitkat.
It seems there is an OTA update WW_V11.2.3.34 but I dont get notification for download.
Is there any way to downgrade ifwi version?
Or do I have to ask here someone for capture the WW_V11.2.3.34 OTA update from /cache and upload here?
Or is there any fix for lillipop horrible lag (2-3 secs after presing or swiping) and masive battery drain? I tried factory reset lollipop and even reinstall with fastboot erase system and intel thetered temp cwm install UL-K012-WW-12.8.1.26-user.zip

Hello! Ifwi is easy! Take the KitKat Firmware and unzip it complitely, so that you have acces to the files of the rom.zip (Firmware)! In the Firmware (1st-Site) is a ifwi.zip! Unzip this ifwi.zip, and take the dnx_fwr.bin (VLC) and the ifwi.bin (VLC) file, and copy it to your adb/fastboot binarys! Then go to fastboot-mode and First: fastboot flash dnx dnx_fwr.bin, when its done, Second: fastboot flash ifwi ifwi.bin, when its done, reboot bootloader, and check ifwi-version! Should be the version you have flashed!
But do it in your own! Im not responsebile for failure or brick!

I have 4 .bin files in ifwi.zip:
CLVp_CSAX_FWR_DnX_20.3E.bin
CLVp_CSAX_OS_DnX_20.3E.bin
IFWI_v64.25_CSAX_PROD.bin
signed_CLVP_CSAX_SoftFuseFile.bin
Dont I have to flash them all? or just the ...FWR_DnX.bin and IFWI_v64.24....bin?

My dear friends, please concentrate on getting Clockworkmod and Cyanogenmod... I am trying real hard here. I contacted all the devs i could, none willing to help me! No device & vendor tree, Locked bootloader, No custom recovery, No stable ROM...... Really feeling so down

OK! You have Four ifwi-Files, Yes then Flash them All!

Expecting some help over here!!! Support me for creating device and vendor trees........

Hello, i tried to downgrade IFWI version by following your method... Everything flashed successfully but the version number stays the same! For eg. if i flash version 64.25, it still stays the 64.33 version of Lollipop firmware only!!! Do you know why???

Hello! Have you more than this two files in your ifwi.zip? In many cases there are more files in ifwi.zip! Unzip the ifwi.zip and flash all files what is in there! Token.files=fastboot flash token filename, dnx.files=fastboot flash dnx filename, and ifwi.files=fastboot flash ifwi filename! But i suggest you, when you not need this ifwi/dnx for anything, then you should stay on the newer ifwi?! ifwi is BIOS for Intel Phones! So you have KitKat with the newer BIOS-update from Lollipop! Its like a BIOS-update for PC!

Ever since i flashed that Lollipop 64.33 IFWI, i didn't get access to the 11.2.3.34 update at all! So, do you think this IFWI version is problem or Asus pulled that firmware from its servers???

@irfanjunaid , Hello sir.
I just got Asus model: k012 Stuck on logo.
Now i am downloading all the firmwares u mentioned in the OP, but one question .. Did u flash them via stock recovery or u flashed the temporary cwm recovery available .

Always flash Stock ROM via stock recovery.... I did via stock recovery... But don't forget, rename the downloaded zip file to k012_sdupdate.zip and put it into a clean formatted SD card. Now press volume up + Power button until you see Asus logo. Now choose Recovery. Now your tab boots to recovery, installs firmware and reboots itself.... Note: No downgrade possible, cannot change SKU(WW-CN etc.....)

I get stuck at the Asus Logo after intel splash.... with a spinning wheel that keeps on going and going and going.... I have download the files you mentioned above, put them on SD card but cannot boot into droidboot, it goes back to main screen. When I select Recovery, it runs about 5 seconds and gives error and then restarts. What seems to be the problem here?
Thanks!

What version of firmware are you in now? Is it rooted? Did you try a factory reset? After factory reset allow tab to take some time to boot up... After that go developer settings -> turn ON usb debugging... Now in PC, run adb via commandline and run adb reboot bootloader... Now see if it goes to droidboot...

This is what I find in bootloader mode. Why can't it go in to droidboot?
IFWI Version: 64.25
SERIAL: E60KBC383526
DROIDBOOT VERSION: TW_FONEPAD-11.2.3.18.2-20141022
PRODUCT: K012
Following Firmwares:
UL-K012-WW-11.2.3.18.2-user.zip
UL-K012-WW-11.2.3.33-user.zip
I tried the old version but to no avail. Also the latest!
Thanks!

This is the droidboot.... You can now connect your tab to PC and issue fastboot commands to it.... For example: Fastboot erase cache
But for heaven's sake please don't install lollipop update.....
Now try this: Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot erase userdata
Now choose reboot....
See if it boots up....

Hello everyone.
Here are my informations:
*My phone: ASUS ZenFone 2 Model ZE551ML
*System build number: CN-2.19.40.16
*My Goal: Change my firmware to WW version.
*What i have tried:
A: Fastbooted my phone to various versions (2.15 , 2.17 , 2.18) via Wugfresh through CMD (boot.img,Recovery.img,droidboot.img)
B: Downloaded the Uprade files (1.08 GB) of different versions. Copied to my internal Drive (Changing the name From WW To CN)
But the upgrade notification didn't show up. I tried everything in every forum. didn't work.
So finally i figured out maybe it is because my build number is 2.19
so i am looking for a way to change my build number to last versions like 2.15
I don't know how to flash system.img (where to find the file and how to flash it.)
I am new to these things so please help me step by step.
Thanks for your time.

Hello and thanks for your answer.
I am a Newbie
but i search all the threads. (i even learned how to root and unroot. how to flash and all.)
i did everything as said.
the only problem is that i don't get the upgrade notification in final step.

what should i do... help me please.

I have spent 2 days skipping university reading about this.
I don't know the difference between using fastboot and adb.
I have this file : UL-Z00A-WW-2.17.40.12-user.zip (1.08 Gb) and 3 img files (boot,droidboot,recovery)
and i have fast-boot installed.
please tell me how can i change my firmware which is "2.19.40.16" which is "CN" to any "WW" version...

Follow this guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/how-to-upgrade-cn-version-to-ww-t3101556
1) boot into bootloader and flash Boot.img, Droidboot.img and Recovery.img
2) Rename your UL-Z00A-WW-2.17.40.12-user.zip to UL-Z00A-CN-2.17.40.12-user.zip
3) Reboot normally and upload the zip file to the root directory of your phone.
4) Hopefully, you'll get a notification about an update being available.
As to ADB and fastboot, basically, you use adb when you're connected to usb debugging and fastboot when you're in the bootloader.
Follow step one here to make sure they're setup.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/asus-zenfone-2-flashing-recovery-mode-t3096596
If your adb / fastboot is working, you should be able to see your device when you do "adb devices" or "fastboot devices"

Have you tried this method here ---> http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2015/04/asus-zenfone-2-pre-root-systemimg.html
and for step #5 use these in command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img

2) Rename your UL-Z00A-WW-2.17.40.12-user.zip to UL-Z00A-CN-2.17.40.12-user.zip
3) Reboot normally and upload the zip file to the root directory of your phone.
4) Hopefully, you'll get a notification about an update being available.
As to ADB and fastboot, basically, you use adb when you're connected to usb debugging and fastboot when you're in the bootloader.
Follow step one here to make sure they're setup.

Thanks for your answer.
I tried the Fast-boot step by step exactly
but i didnt get the notification for update.
is there anyway to update to a firmware directly i mean to setup the update manually?
please let me know.
the ways in the forum you mentioned didn't work on my phone. (i can flash successfully but i wont get the update notification.)
I think the reason is because my Chinese firmware version is 2.19 higher than WW version (2.18).
that is why i thought maybe if i go back to last update maybe i can do it .
Trust me i have tried many ways.
So it remain with 2 questions:
1. can i update a firmware (2.18 WW) manually?
2. can i change my CN Firmware to last versions?
And if the answer is yes please help me step by step cause this is really my first time.
Thanks for your time.

He has already done this procedure as he is saying in the op that "notification wont show up"... Flashing via adb (sideloading) is the method u can flash the rom manually.. Thats what i am saying... Dont wait for notification... Just flash the rom manually...
To flash manually do this:
Just download the previous CN version (2.18.40.12) http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE551ML/UL-Z00A-CN-2.18.40.12-user.zip sideload it via adb and then follow this guide (see #5 changing CN version to WW version) http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/asus-zenfone-2-flashing-recovery-mode-t3096596... If u still dont get any notification just flash the rom and sideload this rom via adb...There is no need of waiting for notification... You will be flashing the rom directly so you dont have to worry about notification and all... Please see first how to flash via adb... flashing via adb is the only option i see and dont use any WugFresh or anything...Just install adb and asus drivers on ur pc... Follow the steps i told u and i think u will be on the required firmware

the step 5 says it is for changing from CN to WW but it is not with Adb

Hey There
Yes finally it was done.
Most of your helps made me successful. Thanks
First i used fastboot to change img files the the WW version (had i not done that adb wouldn't work.)
Then i used adb to manually update the firmware
thanks so much
just one final question:
Will i get the next WW updates automatically like before or i need to download the manually from now on?
Thanks again

Trying to find Ze550ml/Z008 Raw firmware to downgrade CM13 to stock

I cant seem to find it in the forums, only for the 551ML... can someone help me? I figured out its via Asus flash tool...
Does it matter if i use WW or CN?

Don't go near raw unless you are bricked.
Just unroot, flash stock recovery, sideload stock firmware ...if you phone is working ?

That simple? But if i flash stock recovery, how can i do ADB sideload since i doubt i can boot into CM13 on stock recovery?
Anyway, do you have a concrete guide? something safe i can follow, i see many guides and its kinda confusing.
EDIT: Okay I found something, basically flash stock recovery... from somewhere? I guess its in the zip folder of the firmware im flashing (extract it out?)
then reboot into stock recovery mode, choose adb sideload...
enter commands to adb side stock firmware filename.zip?
profit?

Messing with phones is risky..nothing's ever concrete , the risks are outlayed when flashing custom roms and still applies. Heavens knows what might have happened trying to flash raw for a brilliant example !
That outta the way...
Yup , you going right so far except you need recovery.img if on ze550ml .latest recovery for an example for latest fw
Rename latest fw WW- BLA blah fw for example to MOFD_SDUPDATE and put it in adb fastboot folder.
ADB SIDELOAD CMD after booting in stock rec...>
adb sideload MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip
All risks are still applied to you and you only
Ps, if you bought this phone with CM already on...you need knowledge of running fastboot and adb before even contemplating.

LOL true true, I dont disagree with ya... well i was the one who put that phone into CM13 but i gave it to someone, now im trying to revert it back to stock like since Feb as shes just a regular user and CM13 its kinda unstable for her usage...
Okay i downloaded from asus global website .... UL-Z008-WW-2.20.40.149-user.zip
but inside I only see boot.img and droidboot.img... there's no stock recovery image... there's a recovery folder though
\recovery\recovery-from-boot.p
\recovery\bin\install-recovery.sh
How can i extract the recovery img or... im lost at this part... And im also suppose to flash boot.img and droidboot.img right?

Roll Back to MarshMallow [BLN-L22]

Hi,
Below are the steps to rollback to Marshmallow from Nougat. I've only tested it on BLN-L22 so I don't know if it works with other variants.
Your bootloader would be locked. However, you can unlock again using the old unlock code.
You can find firmware of your version @ Honor Official Site
Download the Marshmallow firmware from here Honor India Official Support
Unzip it and place the dload folder in the sdcard (internal storage wont work)
Power off the device.
Press Volume Down + Volume Up + Power key to log into Huawei software upgrade
Let it finish. Now installation is done. But now when you will boot, it will bootloop and go to Huawei ercovery. Simply select the shutdown option
Once the device is off, press Volume Up + Power. This will take you to Huawei Recovery
Wipe data and Wipe Cache
Restart. You are back to MarshMallow
Kindly do the above at your own risk. It worked for me, but it may brick for you.
Edit : User @honor6xak was able to rollback after wiping the system using TWRP and following above steps. If there is no system, there would be no firmware for Honor to overwrite. It would be as good as flashing fresh.
Method 2.
1. Make a nandroid backup (complete backup) and save it somewhere safe. Just in case things get messy.
2. Download the official firmware (Marshmallow) from the Honor official site.
3. Extract the dload folder from the firmware and put it into an sdcard (physical one).
4. Reboot to TWRP and wipe data + system. Twrp will warn you about wiping system. Once you do it. Power off the device.
5. Press volume up + volume down + power this will take you to Huawei recovery and will auto install the firmware if the folder is there in sdcard.
This is a tad bit risky but if you have nandroid backup then you can be on a safe side. But still do it only if you are sure. I don't have money to pay if you Sue me

The above link is for the Indian firmware for the US firmware (L24) you'll have to go to the us website. I got a little confused earlier trying to download it, just thought I'd give a heads up to anybody else. I'd link it but I had to create a new account as my old one is apparrently tied to an email I don't remember.

Yes, that's the reason I specified the BLN number. You don't need to login to have the firmware download. If you can give the link we can update the post.
Edit : I've updated site for Official firmware of various regions in the main post

If you flash these official version you'll get unrooted and your bootloader would be locked again. But you can unlock the bootloader again and root also.
Since it is from official website I doubt it will have any virus

So hacky but... you can find the 'rollback package' here http ://www, hihonor, ]com/us/support/details/index,html?[DOC_ID=94205] and the firmware here http ://www, hihonor, [com/us/support/details/index.html?][DOC_ID=94205]
Just remove the spaces, brackets and replace periods with commas.

Hello bro,
I several times tried the method that you mentioned in your thread using a memory card but it always failed. I'm very curious how it worked for you. Right now I unlocked and rooted my Honor 6x BLN-L22.
I just want to know if your phone was unlocked when you tried this method.
If yes I'll give it a try. It might work this time.
Thank you

You can do one thing I don't know if it work but you can try it. Download firmware finder from play store. Search for the latest nougat firmware then select download. There would be two files 1. Update.zip 2. BLNxxxx some name. Download the second file. Then flash it with twrp.
Now do the procedure as I described in the first post. When I did the roll back I was on the unofficial nougat version.
I'll search for some other method. Sorry it didn't work for you.

Thanks a lot bro. I'll try that.

It worked for me on my BLN-L24, rolling it back to I could exchange it. However I had to do a couple other steps first to get it to work, so here's my full steps that worked for me:
1. If you have twrp or another custom recovery, flash it back to stock.
1a. To find the stock recovery I had to get it from the zip file here since I'm a dumbass and didn't make a backup: If you have twrp or another custom recovery, flash it back to stock.
2. If you have a custom bootloader, flash it back to stock.
3. Download and extract the stock rom. Flashing it from zip will not work.
4. Copy the UPDATE.app to /sdcard/dload/ (not a physical sdcard, if that's what's confusing you.
5. Turn the device all the way off.
6. Press and hold volume up, and volume down, then press and hold power until the phone starts booting, immediately release it once you see something on the screen.
It should now 'update' your phone back to EMUI 4.1.

What did you do that you are stuck at TWRP?
Tell the history then we can suggest something
Download the update_data_full_BLN-L22_channel_in.zip and place it on sdcard.
You can then flash it with TWRP

i was on emui 5 nougat tried to install arise it did installed fine and later the camera was not opening and restarting device didnt help .... hence i went ahead and tried to flash the nougat again with twrp as i didnt know it ll be messed up like this

You cannot directly flash the 4.1 file on your nougat. If you want to do that then you have to use the procedure I gave in the first page.
The link I gave is for nougat version. Basically, when I had a similar problem like you I flashed the 733mb file and my phone was able to boot.
Wipe data in TWRP
Flash the 733mb file
Wipe cache
I hope it works
