Zenfone 2 HARD really HARD brick HELP PLEASE - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
I think I cracked up my Zenfone 2 551ML completely and I don't even know why..
I just wanted to flash android 6 stock rom instead of 5.0 which I had installed.. and now my device does nothing anymore. It just shows up the asuslogo white background black color. but then nothing. YES i have unlocked my bootloader and I think I destroyed my bootloader.
I've tried EVERYTHING I could find on the web
I found this xfstk tool to reinstall my bootloader but it doesnt work it says: "Firmware download completed. Continuing to OS..." and then my phone restarts showing the asus logo and doing nothing. and the timeout runs out and my device is not detected in device manager under IntelSoC anymore. it only detects my device when I power it off and then power it on but only for a few seconds then it disappears in device manager again..
I'm so frustrated I don't know what to do. I did everything as in the instructions. all drivers are installed...
What shall I do to get it back to life (except bringin it to a support center cz I won't do that).

I was in same situation and with this guide i got it work again
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=68477856
Be sure to set the correct address in xfstk 0x80000807 (4 zero after first 8). some guides here showing a wrong address with 5 zero.
Further i did not used AsusFlashTool, i made all steps manually as described.
Good luck.

Bricked G Pad V500; Tried Everything

Hi all,
I just bought a Nexus 9 and I am selling my G Pad to a friend. I was running the V18 build and been happy with it ever since it appeared. However, today I tried to factory reset the device and it just boot looped complaining of a secure boot error, presumably as I was rooted. I tried to restore the tablet by using the official LG tool and the "Update Recovery" method yet that fails at 4% each and every time. I then tried to do the method found here (which I remember working, but not sure how I got it to work months ago). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2692505
I have the drivers all installed okay, the PC is finding the tablet fine, however when trying to flash the TOT file I get "Download Fail" at the same point every time with an error like "00064" every time. I think this could be due to the low batttery and I have no left it charging in download mode (if this does charge?).
I'm not sure what else I can try now, the tablet is stuck in download mode and I cannot do anything with it, any help is appreciated and I can provide info to be more clear if needed.
Thanks all,
Tom.
Hi, I've had the same problem. For me the only solution was to install Windows XP (English version) and the progress bar magically skipped 4th percent. I think it has something to do with LG TOOL not being compatible with some Windows (languages) versions. You can give it a try, please let us know if it worked.

Need help to unbrick an LG E986

Hello,
I had rooted and then installed free gee app.
Managed to install a cyanogenmod 12 version on my LG but while rebooting i was unable to type my phone pin , the screen just went popping . with another sim card with no code pin , the apps seem to work well ...
I then decided to revert back to a custom rom from LG ; While using LG flash tools, at 98% of the flash, the phone just suddenly went blank.
When i charge there are no lights and it's impossible to get download mode.
I brought the phone to a shop and the technician told that he could not download anything to the phone and was proposing me to send it to "LG" with additional fees without any warranty of recovery.
i have read on the different threads but so far i have not found any solution , all suggestions are welcome
Thanks.
Hello,
When i connect my phone to my windows PC, a device QHSUSB_DLOAD appears but i can't manage to assign a driver to this device though i manage to install the unified LG windows driver.
When i launch LG flash tools, the program is aborted because the phone is not visible.
Looking forward to a repair procedure wit the local LG center.
Thanks for any help.

ASUS fonepad 7 Stuck on logo Issue

Hi,
The issue is that when I switch on my tab it gets stuck on the asus logo indefinitely and doesn't go past that. After searching on the internet, i figured that i am supposed to reflash my firmware. I might have reflashed a wrong firmware because now when i enter my droidboot, it shows a white bar with a usb sign. So technically i cannot enter droidboot now (which I was able to do initially when the ASUS logo problem started).
Kindly guide me in detail how I am supposed to deal with this issue.
Do you think there's a motherboard issue going on in here?

Lg G4 H815 hard-bricked with different qualcomm soft?

Hello, (complete n00b here)
Several days ago I've tried to flash a 6.0 MM (from 5.1) to my LG G4 H815 phone. There was no option to do it automatically so I proceded to do it manually via flashboot.
I hard-bricked it to oblivion as in black screen, no response whatsoever.
While investigating @ the internet I've managed to understand I could get it fixed via quadcomm drivers (mode 9008).
Tried various "fixes" for H815 but was getting safari download errors. For some reason I tried a LS991 fix and it worked. When I started the phone it showed no logo but just a secure booting error 1006.
Still, could enter firmware download so I began to flash a lot of KDZ firmwares with no success.
LGUP shows my model : H81510H.
While in fastboot mode there is a note below (wasn't there the first time) with codes : 633 B46 or something like that.
While flashing anything it ALWAYS STOPS at 9% with a tot anti-rollback error. While flashing the code changes briefly where one can read smth like : LGLS991ZVA ver. 6.0
Managed to download some KDZ for that exact model, SAME ERROR. Tried to find / flash LS991ZVA with no success in finding a TOT file.
Also, managed to get ADB drivers up and it shows unauthorized in listing (LS991). Fastboot does not detect my device even in fastboot mode @ phone.
Please HELP!

H81510h is os version it is still at 5.1 I think....what may help is plug your phone in with lgup and drop the battery out of it then closes of LG up put battery back in and start LG up and find kdz that matchs your phone and make sure that it doesn't have anti rollback.....

Hello and thx for reply. I tried to do what u've said. It did something (I was looking for a while back). When I plug the cable back in, my windows 7 immediately installs quadcomm hs-usb driver (9008) and my phone acts as if it was dead. LGUP cannot find it in that state. I've been trying to QFIL the "proper" soft but it continues to pop different errors (using different QFIL versions). Either saharafail or some sort of download fail.
LGUP still presents an error (if I decide to "fastboot" it) @ 9% 0x2000, TOT antirollback version is smaller than device version.
How can I make sure I've got the proper KDZ without ANTI-ROLLBACK?

Thx again. Uppercut shows H81510H as LGUP did. Is it possible that it's somehow write-protected?
It confuses me, since during the firmware update on my phone, I get this small box below the picture showing wierd codes : 633A Bxx and when I'm trying to flash my phone, the code gets longer with LS991ZVA v6.0 and more other. It then stops.
Funny thing is, when I got the phone I couldn't even connect to the LG bridge to update it at all. I've managed to do it bugging the MTP protocol but THAT on the other hand prevented me from copying stuff / FLASH my phone to MM 6.0. Had to factory reset it back then and all went back to "normal" = LG couldnt detect my device but I could copy photos or stuff from it.
NOW, when my phone is bricked, LGbridge DETECTS my phone (in fastboot), downloads the newest KDZ update BUT cannot install it (same thing as in LGUP). Hence my question : is it somehow write-protected?

Have you tried to eset it by pushing power and volume own then when you see bootsplash then release power button and hen quickly push the power button again....
But in your case push power and volume down within the count or 20 then release power then push power button again and see what happens and then try the same thing on volume up......
Thanks for the reply.
I did what u've said. Despite no logo I tried to release power button for a second just after the screen's brightness goes up (I also get a small vibration @ start). Everytime I get secure booting error 1006 after a few seconds.
On the other hand when I did that with volume UP button there was no error but there was nothing aswell until I release power button in which case I got the secure booting error. All of the above tries were done with no USB connection with anything.

Do try with usb s well it may do something r do nothing......
Can't tell atm since I gave it to professionals. I'll wait and see how it'll turn up. Thx for all the effort tho, was nice to tinker with a lil help
@Longbranch did you solve this problem ? I'm in the same state but my phone model is H810, everything else is the same as yours.
Nope, not really. I gave it back to the reseller and my money got returned luckily.
The professionals I refer to above did install a specific firmware for the ls991 type. Firmware ZVB I think. The only one appliable apparently. Anyways, as I suspected the ls991 type is for the US and therefore it didn't work in my country in EU. My sim card wouldnt work with it. Besides, without the sim card, the phone decided to freeze and die after several minutes every time I turn it on. Swapped for LG G5 and it's working flawlessly up until this day.
good for you, what i don't understand is that it's a h810 model but now identify as ls991 does that mean you can convert it just by a Qfil flash? I may try another model flash if can't find a suitable Rom for it

Yes! That's what I and neutrondev telling everyone :
do not use qfil without the knowledge about the result!
The only working firehose file available out there is for the ls991 and that means if you use it it will turn your device into a ls991 without any way to get back to your previous device model!!

@steadfasterX since I have done it already is there any way to get it working even as an LS991 ?
here is what i did till now
the reason for using Qfill is that it went dead after flashing an H810 rom .
after that when it's in download mode it doesn't allow me to flash the ls911ZV5 ls911ZV6 ls911ZV6_12 roms that i found ( it says LS991ZVA )
so i went in fastboot and flashed boot/aboot/recovery....img extracted from the ls911ZV6 rom then it accepted the rom in download mode
but it is stuck in a hard bootloop ( reboots when it is getting in recovery but still has download mode yet no fastboot as before)
any thoughts ?

Yes it's possible. You can boot a h811 H815 or any other rom you like. Even LOS!!
Great right? BUT you are bounded to the ls991 modem and so you need to be in a sprint network to use telephony. That means the phone is now useless outside the US .
And you wrote you tried ls911 ROMs? I hope you meant ls991
I work on a fully working experience on every network though. Checkout my proof of concept for unlocking the bootloader thread
I can go into details on IRC if you like.

@steadfasterX thank you for keeping up with me ! ( btw what room on IRC ?)
for now I have used Qfill again and got fastboot working again and flashed TWRP ( not sure where ! ) so when the phone is off and i plug the usb it boots to twrp ( but it doesn't in recovery )
normal boot will show "secure boot error 1002"
then i flashed twrp img to recovery partition using twrp but it didn't work in recovery ( still reboots after showing Recovery Mode loading screen )
also tried to load some roms on the device to try them but I got error "file too large for filesystem " when copying them .
atm I don't know the state I'm in and what should be next ?
btw here are the recovery log and dmesg

Np we can bring you back to life but as already said without cell service. That's the price for the firehose and unlocked feeling you have now.
Did you found and read my thread here?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/bl-unlock-unlock-bootloader-proof-t3648288
There you will find some more info and also the IRC details how you can find me. I'm online from Monday to Friday mainly.
It's much easier to talk in chat then here. once all the details are known I will provide a full guide.

Samsung GT-I9192 starts and shutdown after its Logo and again starts and so on...

Hello Everyone,
This is my first thread on this forum, which i am making because I ran out of options, and don't know what to do....
My Samsung Galaxy S4 mini(GT-I9192) were shut down automatically when i am using it.After then I started my phone again
it starts normally but after the details Samsung Galaxy S4 mini(GT-I9192)comes and it again turn off and again restarts and
this process is going again and again.As I tell you my phone doesn't stuck on a boot as my phone restarts again before the samsung logo comes.
I've tried Emergency firmware upgrade and Initialization through kies but after entering model no. and S/N,
It says 'GT-I9192' does not support initialization. I've done that before with kies it never gives that error I don't know why now.
After That I tried to install stock firmware by Odin in download mode, The process gets completed pass message comes after that my phone reboots in recovery mode and a message print on the bottom "did not match size '/system/csc/common/system/csc/others.xml' (no data available)" i don't know what is that for and after that i reboot my phone and still same thing...
After all that I think maybe its an hardware issue but if it is an hardware issue then how my phone starts and again shutdown so i don't think it's an hardware issue btw i don't know what it is.
So Please If anyone Have any Solution please help me.
Thank You
I have same problem on my galaxy s4 mini gt-i9195 LTE.
first the phone doesnt wanna turn on at all, just show as QHSUSB_DLOAD
after xx hours googling for solution i try unbrick.img which bring the screen back in live:good:
then i try several roms but the phone reject the flash, so i try flash with original stock rom, that went successful
but that doesnt change something, still keep rebooting, even when load recovery it get reboot and keep rebooting.
I don't think that this might be a hardware issue, but something wrong with the android partitions.
I'll keep playing with it hope i find some solution.
If someone read this and has same or similar issue, please post what you have try so far, so we can work on it and find the problem.:highfive:
Thanks for your reply...
As my phone were start after flashing so many times and now it says Device Memory Corrupted Please reset your device to default
settings and there is a reset tab which doesn't working when i keep pressing that so now i think that maybe my eMMC chip was damaged well exactly i don't know that yet....
well for you just try connecting through kies and do a firmware upgrade and if that doesn't working than flash it through odin and also download PIT file for re-partition....
