Just place the downloaded firmware (UL-xxx.zip) into root folder on your internal storage or external sdcard. The system will automatically recognize it and asking do you want to flash it.
Just make sure you had the correct regional firmware (mine was WW)

Rename your downloaded firmware to K012_sdupdate.zip then copy to your MICROSD. Now you just have to go into droidboot mode.
Follow the step below to go into droidboot. (Start by turn off your device).
1. If you had never update to kitkat before, go into droidboot by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until droidboot menu is present.
2. If you have update to kitkat before (or currently on kitkat), boot into droidboot by holding VOL UP + POWER until menu is present.
Next step depend on menu that appear on your droidboot menu:
1. If you had SD UPDATE option presented on the MOST BELOW option, go on and select it. (Beware, you should choose SD UPDATE not SD DOWNLOAD)
2. If your menu doesnt show SD UPDATE, then you had to choose RECOVERY.
I think thats all to do, your device must have start the update process by now.

But there is no recovery mode in this device like cwm or twrp..............
have a look.....
in the video below i have started in recovery without puting the firmware archieve in sdcard....will it surely work...

It's very easy. Just put the downloaded zip file in the root of you internal memory and you will see a notification which says it has detected a new update file. Tap on it and install.
Good luck

Then you need to use ADB tools and fastboot. Before anything you need to download the attached files which contains ADB tools and intel usb drivers. Download the files and extract it somewhere . Go to "intelandroiddrvsetup1.1.5.zip" and install the drivers. Then Power off your tablet. Hold down the Volume + and Power and rlease at the Asus logo comes up. Now you will see the fastboot menu.
Connect your tablet to your PC. Now go to the folder you extracted the zip file. Press the Shift key and Right click somewhere in the folder. Choose "open command window here".
Then type this commands one by one and press Enter:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
Then you need you flash the a stock firmware. Download the appropriate firmware from Asus website. There are three .img files in the firmware zip file (fastboot.img, boot.img, splashscreen.img). Copy all these three files to the extracted folder. Now type the following command in the command window one by one:
fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash splashscreen splashscreen.img
The last step is that you should put the firmware zip file on your external SD card. Rename it to k012_sdupdate.zip
Now use the volume keys on you tablet to choose the Recovery (if you have updated to 4.4.2) or SD Update (if your android version was 4.3). Press the Power to choose it. The tablet will reboot and flash the firmware.

WARNING: this tutorial is specifically for the Redmi Note 4 [ Qualcomm Snapdragon ] variant. Attempt to try it on other devices may brick your phone.
It is slightly technical but a really easy procedure. So carry on only if you have the skill, patience and confidence. I will not be held responsible for your mistakes, because I have tried this on my device and it works perfectly fine.
***NOTE : All links have been disabled since I am a new user. I'll update them as soon as i am over the restriction. thanks for understanding. (Just google the file you want to download, and they'll easily be available )
This takes barely half hour if you have the proper skill and an unlocked bootloader.
So, let's start.
So there are some steps to be followed over here. You need to complete all of the below steps. Links to the files required will be given below.
1. You need an unlocked bootloader.
2. You need the ADB and Fastboot device drivers installed on your PC
3. The ZIP files required for flashing.
So You will need the Mi Flash tool and MiUnlock tool during the bootloader unlock process. ( The MiFlash tool is available for download. but you can download the MiUnlock tool only if you get the permission to unlock your bootloader from Mi. To apply for a bootloader unlock go here : en.miui.com/unlock )
Once the permission is obtained, download the MiUnlock Tool from the same link, and follow the instructions to unlock bootloader.
The unlocked bootloader is mandatory.
You have to follow all the steps given below once, you have an unlocked bootloader.
Before you perform the below steps, make sure you download the adb and fastboot for your Computer. Download them here : ( *** ) [ONLY FOR DEVICES RUNNING WINDOWS ]
Download the TWRP recovery file for Redmi Note 4 from here : ( *** )
NOTE: You can use either SuperSU or Magisk for rooting your phone. I personally prefer Magisk.
Download the SuperSU ZIP file from here : ( *** )
OR
Download the Magisk ZIP file from here : ( *** )
Once all these files are downloaded,
1> Place the SuperSU file OR Magisk file (whichever you choose) inside your internal storage directory of your mobile device.
2> Place the TWRP recovery file in the folder where the adb drivers (Platform Tools folder) have been downloaded on your computer. Then rename it as "twrp".
3>turn off your device. then switch it on by pressing the volume down button and the power button together.
leave the keys once your device vibrates. This will enable the fastboot mode. (For beginners, It will display a green coloured rabbit on your device with fastboot written ) Connect it to the PC once the fastboot mode is enabled.
4> Come back to your Computer and Open the folder where the adb drivers and the twrp recovery file is copied.
Hold down the Shift key on the keyboard and then right click in the empty space of the folder window.
There will be a menu that pops up with some options. You have to click " Open Command Window Here "
This will open up the terminal/cmd on your computer. (NOTE: Steps given for a PC running the Windows OS only. )
5> In the terminal you have to type a few commands. Again make sure your device is properly connected to the computer and with fastboot mode enabled.
Note: Connect only 1 device running fastboot.
To verify connected devices enter command " fastboot devices " This will show available fastboot devices with a string of letters or numbers.
After verification of connected device,
First enter the command " fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"
Then hit enter.
(twrp can change according to your twrp recovery file name, if you have renamed it as i said above, no wories, carry on)
6> The terminal will indicate completion of the command. once this is done, type in
"fastboot boot twrp.img"
7> You device will restart and the twrp recovery will pop up on your mobile. Now you can disconnect your device from the computer.
8> In the twrp recovery screen click on install, and select the supersu ZIP file OR magisk ZIP file which you had placed in your internal storage. Then swipe to confirm the flash. It will be indicated when the flash is completed.
Once it's done, click clear cache/dalvik and swipe to confirm.
And hit reboot.
Voila! You now have a rooted Redmi Note 4 with TWRP recovery installed.
[
If you install the magisk ZIP or SuperSU ZIP, under some rare circumstances the app might not have installed on the phone. So you might have to download the apk once the phone has started.
Grab the Magisk Manager APK file here ( *** )
Grab the SuperSU APK file here ( *** )
]
[NOTE :
All the steps are important to be followed exactly. Do not mess up the steps or you might brick your device.
Here unlocking the bootloader is key. Do not ignore my Bootloader unlock thread. Otherwise rooting isn't possible.
This thread is a bit long, sorry for that. But it's written in an easy way so it's better for the new users.
Hope this helps guys. Follow the thread accurately, and it'll work perfectly well on your device.
Cheers.
Success is disgusted by some people, and will not share any files for free in the future.
Success!!!
This is awesome! Thanks much. I don't understand what you mean by "Factory setting must be restored after booting" though. Do you mean you need to go into Recovery mode and wipe the data?
Here's some instructions I put together that would have helped save me a lot of time. Please correct anything I missed:
After you have downloaded the zip file, here are the step-by-step instructions:
1. Extract the zipped folder wherever you want on your PC.
2. Open a CMD window.
3. cd /d <whatever path it is to the "\ASUS_ROG2_ZS660KL_QPST_Firmware\images" folder> e.g., "cd /d D:\RogPhoneII\ASUS_ROG2_ZS660KL_QPST_Firmware\images"
4. Make sure your PC is connected to the side port of your phone and the phone is in fastboot mode (Volume UP button + Power button).
5. Check and make sure your PC is connected properly by entering "fastboot devices" in the command window. You should see the ID of your device.
6. Then enter "fastboot oem enter-dload" in the command window. This will put the phone in emergency download mode (EDL). My phone went all black.
7. Open "\ASUS_ROG2_ZS660KL_QPST_Firmware\MiFlash2018-5-28-0" folder. Launch "XiaoMiFlash.exe".
8. Click "refresh". You should see a device in the list.
9. Click "select" and navigate to the "\ASUS_ROG2_ZS660KL_QPST_Firmware\images" folder.
10. Click "flash". Wait until it says "success".
11. After it's done, you'll hold down the UP button, Down button, and Power button on the phone at the same time until it shuts down.
12. Hold Up button and Power button at same to boot into fastboot mode again. Select Recovery mode by using the Up/Down buttons on the phone. Press the Power button to select.
13. Select "wipe data" from the drop down list. Go down the list of "no" until you get to the "yes" and press the Power button.
14. Select "reboot now".
15. Done.

The first entry of this thread.
Is the official firmware WW or CN?
I'm just thinking this is probably an easier way for CN guys to get WW if the QPST fw is WW

Though, you still want to be able to do updates and stuff without needing someone to break all the files out into separate images. This was a huge life saver thanks to John.
Please help me. I have widevine security L3 instead of L1 (also at relock bootloader). Here is what happen to me:
1. Unlock the bootloader and get persist.img, but wrong size of package then i have lost the serial number (C4ATAS000000). The size of persist file is 16mb instead of 32mb by default.
2. Try to get another persist.img from another device, then use Ultra editor to find and change back to my real Serial Number. And it worked.
3. Figure out widevine security is always stay at L3, whenever bootloader is re-locked. Also Asus unlock bootloader apk from asus homepage is not working, it said "error network".
4. Do flash raw from all version, also factory reset...etc but no luck.
.............................................
Do you know what is really happened when we flash wrong persist.img and flash another persist (which is already change Serial number back to real one)?

this firmware is glad to help you. It can be flashed in through
the QPST tool, or it can be flashed in through the Xiaomi miflash tool.
To use the QPST tool, you must change the EMMC to UFS. No matter which tool you use,
you must restore the factory settings after the phone is turned on, otherwise the storage
of the phone will recognize the error! !! !!
Factory settings must be restored after booting! !! !!
The firmware is made through the official package UL-ASUS_I001_1-ASUS-16.0631.1910.35-1.1.207-user.zip
without any modification, Suitable for repairing phones that can only enter edl mode(9008 mode).

Hi, I've managed to unbrick my ROG Phone II Tencent Edition 8/128 with a locked bootloader having "slot _a" error. Provided that you can do fastboot.
My equipment for flashing, for sure you already have ADB installed in your computer, my computer is an x64 Intel Windows 10 laptop, I used USB 2.0 not USB 3.0

Get another user persist.img (with correct 32.768 kb)
Using HEX editor or Ultra Edit to find SSN, ISN and IMEI in persist.img
Return to fastboot - then 9008 mode, use bat to write back to your phone and you will have back Asus unlock bootloader apk (working), have Serial number back.
For question: "How could i find real SSN, ISN and real IMEI?"
Please use command "fastboot oem device-info" in fastboot mode, it will show your real information.

Hi in Mi Flash when i refresh and select flash it gives me an error object reference not set to an instance of an object please help me
Help
Gives me Sarahah error on QPST and also gives a flash error on MI flash
I need help unlocking bootloader on my new Revvl 6 Pro 5g, this is my first mtk device, and I'm a Windows guy and I'm lost on the whole mtk client tool and python.
Any and all help would be a phenomenal help!
I think this phone would have a lot more potential with a gsi running on it!
The T-Mobile Revvl 6 pro 5g is made by Wingtech, code name: Augusta and model # is TMAF035G. I dunno if that's of any help but after all my research that's all I know that's 100% fact!
Help your fellow human geek out to enjoy this phones potential!

It's starting to look like I need to put together a guide...
I don't know how to do this on a mac. And I didn't like using the GUI on mtkclient, it would recognize the device but sometimes wouldn't connect.
I suggest you download the liveDVD from the mtkclient readme (https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient), put it on a bootable usb stick and run it from there. This is the setup that worked best for me, better than on windows anyway.
Also, read this (https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient/issues/79). The REVVL 6 Pro 5G has an A/B setup, and unlocking it is not really explained in the current readme. Basically, you need to find out what slot you are booting from (boot_a or boot_b) and flash accordingly. Don't flash both slots, if something goes wrong you might want a slot to fall back to.
From adb do:
adb reboot fastboot
wait for your phone to boot into fastboot mode, and then:
fastboot getvar current-slot
That should tell you what your current slot is.
In order to get mtkclient to connect I booted into the liveDVD opened up the terminal and entered
python mtk r boot boot.img
It will keep looping, looking for your device and give you time to get your REVVL 6 Pro connected with the right button combo (start with power off, then volume down & plug in usb). When it connects a bunch of information will scroll down the screen. It will look for a "boot" partition but won't find one and will show an error, this is ok though. It's connected and you can begin flashing to your hearts content.
IMPORTANT!
Before you go any further make a backup with:
python mtk rl out
This will dump all partitions to a folder "out" on the computer. Save this somewhere, it is your backup.
You may not want to back up the entire userdata partition (it's huge and may take 4 hours to copy, thanks to @threeeye see post 14 below) so when it gets to that you can hit control+c to stop and then backup any remaining partitions manually with this format:
If you don't want to backup userdata folder then try this:
python mtk rl out --skip userdata
Back up individual partitions with this:
python mtk r partitionToBackup partitionName.bin
example: python mtk r vbmeta_a vbmeta_a.bin
The information for unlocking and rooting is in the links above.
Make a backup BEFORE you unlock and root!
Thanks _hollywood_. I got the slot (b), but am not able to get mtk to find the device, it continues to loop. Any tips of figuring out the "right button combo"?

Click to expand...

Start with the device off and unplugged from the computer, then hold the volume down button while you plug in the usb. I'm not 100% sure now if that's the correct combo, it's been a while since I did it. If that doesn't work maybe try holding the vol up and plugging in the usb?... but I think that takes you into recovery.
I've been trying different GSIs and found CRdroid runs best, with fewest errors, but I'm not able to make calls, and only sometimes send / recieve mms. Maybe I got something wrong with the phh treble settings? I'm having those issues regardless what GSI I flash.
Phones vary GSI friendly, booted and ran every GSI I flashed!
Does anyone have a backup of the boot_a.img? Long story short i've bricked my phone and i dont have a backup anymore
Really a whole stock rom would be best if you can, thanks in advance

I bricked my Xperia 1 III today, and I rushed to T-Mobile to get a cheap replacement phone and I got this phone (but I still need root to function),
2nd, you failed to mention that backing up the phone with:
Code:
python mtk rl out
(yes, I wanted to backup the userdata as well) would take more than 4 hours... LOL

Thanks, I actually got it later that day probably using what you mentioned in a different tutorial. The device is now rooted. Anyone know of any possible opensource ROM of any kind that would work on this phone? Or TWRP? Other than that Root seems to be pretty useless on this thing. I can debloat Google via ADB, but thats about it, no R/W access since its stock with Root.
