Zenfone 3 deluxe bootloop problem after update - Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers

Hello,
I searched for this problem but i dont see any posts that is related to this. So i got my deluxe, its ZS750kl 2.15 6gb ram unit with nougat OS and it was working well. Last february 2018, it got its automatic system update for Taiwan CHT VoLTE support and battery optimization. A day after the update, it suddenly went into bootloop. My unit is not rooted, running with stock nougat OS with locked bootloader. It was never modified in any form. I do some observations and i noticed that sometimes it boots normally so i successfully done a factory reset but the same problem existed. I cant do a hard reset via vol. down+power since i have a locked bootloader. I am new with fastboot method and i dont know if it will help me solve the problem so i left it untouched from March until this week. Same problem still exist even the battery is totally drained over time.
Is there someone here with the same problem? Is there a possibility of system rollback before the february update?can i flash nougat stock rom hoping it will revert back to the previous OS without VoLTE support? I think the bootloop issue is with that update, since i saw some posts with the same problem but it was after the oreo update, not the same as mine so i concluded that the problem lies somewhere in between the feb. update and the oreo update.
I hope some will look into this and help me or guide me to step by step flashing of nougat stockrom using fastboot. Sorry, im new with the method, i usually flash through twrp but i cant because of locked bootloader.
Thank you in advance,hope you can help me with my problem.

Hi there,
I hope I can post this here.
I don't have an answer but I have a similar problem. The Phone will not start anymore. I ran into bootloop and only fastboot is working.
Any thing i can do?

Hello,
Im looking for a solution too, my phone got bootloop only fastboot is working, partition protected, phone is locked i cannot put even in recovery mode. Any help would be really appricated.
Cheers.

Hey all,
These instructions are assuming you have a 2.15ghz 570KL. I'm not responsible if your phone gets bricked any further.
Grab the standalone adb/fastboot tools
https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
Grab recovery.img from 15.0210.1808.70, grab twrp-3.2.3-0-Z016-20181014.img
https://mega.nz/#F!EkFF1CJD!C8o2wXMARW3YJFOipDttbA
Grab the latest official update, make sure it's the right frequency (2.15ghz in this case)
https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone-3-Deluxe-ZS570KL/HelpDesk_Download/
Move everything into an accessible folder
Copy the internals of the adb/fastboot such that twrp-3.2.3-0-Z016-20181014.img and fastboot.exe are in the same folder
Copy recovery.img to an sd card
Copy the official update to the same sd card
Put it in the phone
Open command prompt
Navigate to the folder using cd [filepath]
Example:
cd c:/users/MyUser/Desktop/Folder
run the following command
fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-Z016-20181014.img
Boot phone to fastboot mode
Plug it in and pray.
It should boot into TWRP. Go to install, click the checkmark to switch from zip to images, then find Recovery.img. It should be located in the external_sd. Flash that to the recovery partition.
Reboot back into recovery (Power+Vol Down)
If it boots into a screen that says No Command! it means it was flashed successfully
Spam volume up, volume down, and power until the screen recovery loads
If it doesn't load after a few presses, do a hard reset (Power + Vol Down)
Try again until it works
Install the official update
Reboot and your phone should work again.
Good luck.

Hello There,
Thank you for tut*, do you have or know any method about i have exact same phone model but its stuck on boot and keep restarting, no recovery mode available only i can put in fastboot mode when i try to flash or anything it said partition protected... any help would be really appricated.
Cheers.

same problem, I have also opened a new thread but I have not received a reply.
In all cases following this mini-guide I am stopped at the boot twrp command. I'm getting unsigned file error.
I tried the original recovery (taken from the user link above) and the phone gets stuck on the android logo with a red triangle of danger.
ideas?

How did you unlock your bootloader? i cant follow the instructions given because my bootloader is not yet unlocked.

has anyone gotten the steps above to work without unlocking the bootloader?

[Q] NOOB bricked acer a100 help!

I tried using the simple root and clockwork mod method and now my a100 keeps cycling thru bootloaderversion 0.03.06-ics-ics (unlock mode) with green acer logo. If I reboot holding power+down sd update command recovery
update_package=sd card update.zip
booting recovery kernal image
then it starts cycling again.
Please can someone help!
same
Same thing here (or at least very similar). Hoping there's a simple solution like the "Odin back to stock" I can do on my SGS phone.
are you sure that the bootloader say "unlock mode"?
If so, then try this.
try this
Install the USB drivers on your PC if you haven't done it already. ( http://global-download.acer.com/GDF...A TAB&Step3=A100&OS=a08&LC=en&BC=Acer&SC=PA_6 )
install android SDK. ( http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html )
copy the update.zip file to your SD card root.
download TWRP recovery ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1608152 ) and place it in the platform-tools dir where the SDK was installed ( ex. C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools )
Once all that is done follow these steps
1) boot the tablet to fastboot mode
2) run command prompt on PC (cmd.exe)
3) cd to the platorm-tools dir
4) type the following lines one at a time.
adb.exe
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery NAMEOFRECOVERY.img (ex. recovery-A100ICS-TWRP.img)
5) hold the vol down button on the tablet
6) type fastboot reboot.
The tablet should now reboot to the recovery program. Goto settings and mount the external SD card, then flash the update.zip by going to install.
Hope this helps

Did you rename/delete /etc/install-recovery.sh ?
I think you're not. Try to make hard reset, then boot normaly rename/delete this file and after that flash recovery again, it should work.
All it's explained here.
Thank you

Okay, I downloaded everything but my computer doesnt recognize my a100 anymore, only if I put the tablet into fastboot then it see's it. My tablet just keeps on rebooting itself repeatedly unless I go into fastboot. Please tell me I dont have a paperweight.
were getting close
Blackshinobi or anyone that can help,
I'm getting close. I make it to: "fast boot flash recovey" cmd prompt
I get two different errors depending hoew I type the cmd prompt:
1. "fastboot flash recovery recovery-A100ICS-TWRP.img"
error (can not load recovery-A100ICS-TWRP.img)
2. "fastboot flash recovery-A100ICS-TWRP.img"
error ( cannort determine image file name for 'recovery-A100ICS-TWRP.img)
I was a little confuse on proper cmd line prompt, but I'm thinking #2 is the correct way.
Thanks so much for your help!

That's awesome news!!!
Number 1 is the correct command.
Just making sure you are actually in fastboot (bootloader) mode. On the command-promt type "fastboot devices", if you see the result below, then you're good
? fastboot (yes that's a question mark)
Now be sure you are in the directory with the recovery image and issue number 1 command (fastboot flash recovery whatever-recovery.img). If you get some errors, be sure to check the MD5 hash of the recovery image cuz it could be a corrupted download.
Of course, you can't flash the custom recovery if you still have a locked bootloader.
you guys rock..even closer
Thank-you everyone ..I am soooo close. I did get the recovery image to load (I accidently had it in android-sdk and not platform-tools...oooops my bad). Now I can reboot to recovery and install the update.zip off my external sd card. However after I install the update.zip and reboot, I still get stuck on the acer screen (bootloader version 0.03.06-ICS (Unlock Mode) at top with acer logo in green at bottom.
Which update.zip am I suppose to be using? Currently I am trying to install one of the stock ROMS from the developer section of this forum. Am I suppose to be using a specific one?
Thanks again, I know I'm close. My tablet has been brick'd for weeks and I'm dedicated to getting it back now that I have time.

Congrats resurrecting your tab! Gotta be a great relief!
How about Flexreaper ROM? It will require full wipe before flashing: in recovery wipe/factory reset, wipe system, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, flash Flexreaper ROM zip file. This is basic guide, follow detailed instructions on this ROM thread (link is in my sig).
Sent from my A100 using xda premium
not quite recovered yet. I still get the hang on Acer screen. anyone know why? I will try flexreaper
I'm BACK
Thanks to all. I'm back up. flexreaper did work.. I hope the guy who actually started this thread is as lucky.
Not so lucky

Power down the unit. Set screen lock in the up position. Hold volume down and power. When powered on keep holding the vol down button. Then toggle the screen lock to down.
That should do a factory reset.
Then put a stock rom in the root of SD Card. Volume up then power until let the tablet recover.
This worked for me.
did u install the drivers from an earlier post? Also when you power up you your tablet you need to boot into fastboot mode? You're certain you have done both of these things?
I am unable to connect to, my pc doesnt recognize my acer anymore...unless by sd card you mean external card? Thank you for trying to help. I'm a serious noob but trying hard.
i'm in a similar situation. i accidentally deleted the build.prop file and rebooted. now it only displays a black screen after the acer logo drops out. my boot loader is locked but i cant install the mtp usb drivers to fix anything. think i have a paperweight now.

tried. i had no alternative recovery on it. i could not get the sd card mounted to push the zip to it. both adb and fast boot wont see my tablet. every attempt at unlocking fast boot wouldn't work. I tried to check in device manager to see if it was connected, the driver was working but it had an error message "Device can not start (Code 10)"
My pc only sees my tablet when I boot it into fastboot mode and sees it as an adb interface...Is there anything I can do from there?

[Q] Stuck in bootloop (pls move if I'm repeating a tousand other similar Q's!)

Hi there,
I've been a bit of a [email protected] and fudged my Huawei P6. I Was on South African Vodacom Stock Jelly Bean Rom, read this forum and got so excited about the world out there that i thought, why don't i try flashing a rom, i've only bricked a sgs2 and lg-g2 before... I should know what to do by now (never done a day's computer course in my life!)!
So flashed kitkat beta and then tried to flash Kit Kat... I have left the phone for about a week in the hopes I'd come back to it & it would miraculously work as I've read a lot of the forum posts on here and have a gut feeling I'm screwed so hoping one of you Huawei P6 XDA Guru's can Help. From what I remember I did this...
1) Rooted the phone with SRS Root or Root Genius
2) After a few attemps managed to install official kitkat beta from dload/update.app from external SD Card so I could then install official Chinese KiTKAT rom or HYDRO Rom.
3) Played with the kitkat beta for a while all working (bar the beta crashes etc) ( I think at that point I intalled CWMOD or TWRP)
4) It was very late, I should have gone to bed, I'd had a few beers, but no I carried on & was planning to install Hydrorom & (Mis)understood got mixed up with official chinese kit kat rom installation
5) Booted into recovery & flashed official chinense kitkat rom with GAAPS ticked to flash as well (maybe that will tell you guys if I was using CWM or TWRP!)
5.0117...c) If my memory serves me right I didn't (4am idiot/tired/few beers/rushing etc) wipe dalvic or any of that... just flashed from external sd card ZIP streight over kitkat beta (aaaarrgh!)
6) Phone is now stuck in bootloop with Huawei Ascend words first, then loading a Huawei flower logo. Goes no further, just stays on until battery flat...
7) Left phone plugged into power with screen on for a day hoping it was just taking a while to flash rom... & nothing happened
8) Tried the following but hope I'm doing them all wrong and you GURU's will have a giggle at my comlete lack of skills:
a) reboot phone - no luck​b) hold down power & +vol & -vol -... no luck just flower logo again​c) every combination of power and two volume buttons - no luck just flower logo​d) putting folder dload/update.app on external sd card and using b)method to flash update - no luck just flower logo​e) putting stock recovery.img on root of external sd card and doing b) - no luck just flower logo​f) putting all of extracted TWRP download " TWRP_Installer_20140414 on root folder of external sd card - no luck​g) spending 4 hours finding a "how to remove the battery from huawei P6" link and watched a russian guy remove battery on you tube. Did that as read that can reset boot loader/recovery.... no luck​h) downloaded various versions of Android SDK Tools. Phone shows up as a "please insert sd card" in windows file manager and appears "offline" when trying to access it from command prompt ADB etc​
checked that HiSuite was stopped in Task Manager etc, reinstalled drivers etc. One problem I'm hoping you'll all say is 100% to blame for SDK Tools not working is I'm on latest update of Windows 8.1 64bit...
Edit: Read other forum... I see the red led when turning phone on as well...
Edit: Just installed propper android sdk tools not small made up file and now phone changed from showing "offline" to "unauthorised" in adb...
So, please help.
Fixed it
Ok managed to fix this and hope it will help others. Was up till 2am last night after deciding to give it another go after getting no replies! The main problem here must have been that as device was seen as unrecognized on PC and I couldn't get past boot screen so there was no way to allow debugging/authorize I.e. No pop up on phone as stuck in Hauwei flower screen.
Previously I Couldn't get fastboot or adb on PC to do anything, just kept saying phone was offline or unauthorized.
Rebooted phone from boot loop screen of huawei flower on screen holding power and - vol button for a long time until only boots to huawei ascend words logo (phone still plugged into PC), let go of both. PC makes sound to show there is USB device, now it doesn't boot the huawei flower screen just stays on the Hauwei ascend screen (I think normally this would open recovery etc), so maybe it is in recovery just not showing on screen... I don't know?!
Adb devices says no device however... And obviously no adb commands work at all...
However, fastboot commands for some reason work even though devices still shows nothing... so I tried various commands but what worked for me was typing the following in command promt on PC:
Fastboot flash boot boot.img (Stock)
Where all the img,zip,app files I was flashing were were in the platform-tools folder where adb and fastboot are.
Then
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. (Stock)
Then I think what did it, I was obviously on a broken twrp recovery... Was I flashed
Fastboot flash recovery twrp_2_6_3_3_recovery.img
To my amazement twrp touch recovery loaded and I could then go about wiping dalvik etc and reflashing all the correct files.
So I'm now finally running HYDROROM_V7
All the files I used are on the hydro rom page here so thanks to them for that! :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2630208
Hope this works for all of you stuck in bootloop etc as I really thought my phone was stuffed!
Ciao

Hey very good that you managed to fix your problem, when I first read your question I didn't had any ideas on how to fix it. But you had a bootloop I think and when you press power and vol- until it reboots you come in the bootloader, on our device it only shows the bootlogo so its seems that it is stuck but actually you are in the boot loader and can use fastboot commands. So glad you fixed your problem.

P6 bricked? Stuck on Huawei logo

Hello,
my problem is after trying to revert back to the stock rom I messed things up and I can't get back to fastboot mode.
But I will describe what I did. First thing I did many weeks ago was the installation of cyanogenmod 11 KitKat on the P6.
All worked fine except for the high power consumption. Because of that I decided to switch back to the stock rom.
To do that I have made the following steps.
1. I downloaded the Jelly Bean firmware from the official huawei website. (I can't post the link since I'm a new user)
2. I used the download extractor to extract boot.img and recovery.img
3. I flashed them via fastboot
4. I prepared a SD card with the update.app in the dload folder
5. booted the phone with volume buttons pressed. Update process started but failed. There was no error message only a huge FAIL message.
6. After that I switched back to TWRP recovery what worked fine
7. I build a flashable zip file with the update extractor of boot.img, recovery.img, system.img, cust.img, userdata.img and flashed it via TWRP
8. Than I realised that I mistakenly included the recovery.img which overwrote the TWRP recovery
Now the phone always starts to the huawei logo also when starting with volume buttons pressed. I can't access the fastboot mode anymore.
When shutting it down it reboots instantly.
My questions are the following.
* Can a corrupted recovery block the access of the fastboot mode or any mode to access the phone via USB to flash a new recovery?
* Are there other ways to reset the phone?
* Was it a problem to take a Jelly Bean stock rom after a KitKat installation?
* If the phone is bricked, do you have any suggestion what to do with it? Is it worthless now? Sell on ebay? Hope this is not necessary.
Thank you so much!

When you say its bricked does that mean that it gets stuck on huawei ascend logo? If thats the case than you should be ablr to enter fastbboot since thats the sign you are in bootloader mode.

Well that is what I thought too, but I can't get a connection via adb or fastboot.
"adb devices" lists nothing. When connecting the phone via usb to the computer there is no log entry generated on the computer like it's the case with other usb devices.
I tried different usb cables. I'm unsure how to be really sure whether I'm in fastboot mode or not.
Before flashing the zip everything worked fine so it's very unlikely to be a driver issue or something related to the computer I think.
i have the same problem and i cant communicate with the device in any way but what happen to me that i download a wrong recovery img.
if someone can help please
i fix my phone and get it back to the stock recovery ::victory:
Can you please share how you make it? I have the same problem...
I fixed it by replacing the motherboard using a very detailed tutorial on ifixit.
The P6 is not build to be repaired by the customer but with the right tools it was ok.

I turn the phone in the debug mode and flash the stock recovery back you enter the debug mode by press and hold on the volume down then after it the power for 10 sec. after you plug the phone to the computer via usb then download this file: 4shared.com/rar/9HO06Lpjba/p6_stock_recovery.html
and then unzip the file then open by order
1- adb-windows if you have windows
2- fastboot-windows
3- install-recovery-windows
and restart the phone and you have the stock recovery back

I killed my watch

1 week ago i bought in china the watch .i dont know Chinese and i was just there for business so i thought that when i will connect to my phone it will automatically change to English but that never happend . So i tried several threads in xda to understand how it is working and what can i do . And i followed the thread that says to flash another system img recovery and boot . So i first unlocked the bootloader and booted on it and i flash the images and tried to reboot to recovery but already the recovey option in the bootloader is missing i get only shutdown , reboot , reboot bootloader , so i thought that i haven't correct flash the recovery.img so i flash it again but still the same . I also tried twrp recoveries and other recoveries that i found in other threads but still the same i can only boot to bootloader and nothing else . Has any one had the same problem and fixed it ? And if not were can i find the stock chinese firmware to try to flash it maybe it will come back to life .. thanks in advance
Have you tried using adb and fastboot commands?
Ex::
adb reboot-bootloader (for bootloader)
adb push xxxxxxx.img or xxxxxxx.zip /sdcard/ (for transfer files to sdcard)
adb push recovery.img /sdcard/ (for transfer yours custom recovery - i recommend the latest 3.1.1.0 because the others have some bugs)
after that boot to recovery: fastboot boot recovery.img (personally i never tried to flash the recovery but just boot it, baut it works)
from recovery just install the files that you have transferred earlier to sdcard (oh, and prior that erase everything except internal memory, or that toot but you have to transfer your files again)
ex: install zip (i recommend negalite) after that install kernel (negalite too) and install performance or battery booster .
Oh, after kernel install, it will automatically reboot, so you have to repeat the process to install the booster.
Reboot.
p.s. - the reboot process take LOOONG, so wait patiently.
Hope i could help you.

If you want to enter the bootloader, to choose, where u want to reboot and you are stuck:
Hold the button on your watch...hold it, till you feel the first vibration after the restart at the HUAWEI-Logo. Then, press the button once again (Its just timing).
It should show you your bootloader and you can restart into recovery or wherever you want.
Hope I could help :highfive:

Mixed Nougat/Oreo partitions

My Honor 7x (BND-L21) is totally bricked for the moment. I think there is Nougat and Oreo partitions at the same time because of Huawei Multi-Tool. Now I can't boot into recovery/eRecovery and the device stucks in the splash screen (bootloader unlocked). I think I have to rewrite all the partitions but I don't know how to do it... If anybody has a solution it will be greatly appreciated, I tried for 1 week!
If your device has a locked bootloader or frp follow these steps
First of charge your device for 1 hour in whatever mode it is..
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11050483647474828964
Then download the service rom from the above link
Extract the contents of the downloaded file. Copy the dload folder from the extracted files to a sdcard.. (Directly to it not on any directory)
Insert the sd card..
Press all the buttons until the emui logo comes.
After the flashing reaches 100 percent.. Reboot the device unlock the oem in developer option..
Step-2 (Computer)
Download adb drivers and fastboot and install them.
Download complete ota package for your device (make sure you have the correct build number because service rom has a different build number ) (download size will be above 2gb)
Extract all downloaded zip files. Then using huawei firmware extractor extract all contents of the update. app files.. (one update. App file in each zip files)
Copy
kernel. Img
Ramdisk. Img
System. Img
Cust. Img
Version. Img
Vendor. Img
And version. Img to the folder having adb files. And version and vendor files to sd card
//Make sure that the complete ota package you downloaded matches the os before the software brick(noughat or oreo) //
Open the adb folder and do shift plus right click to open command window there and connect your device in fastboot mode to pc
Use the below commands one by one each after completion
Fastboot devices(show your device if its connected)
Fastboot oem unlock (code obtained from huawei unlock page)
#factory rest occur
After tha enter fastboot mode again
Step-3
Fastboot flash ramdisk ramdisk.img
Fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdisk. Img
Fastboot flash system system. Img
Fastboot flash cust cust.img
Flash twrp using
Fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp. img
Boot your device to recovery mode.( Volume up plus power)
Flash version. Img to version partition and vendor. Img to vendor partition
If you want stock recovery back
Boot into fastboot mode
Enter the command
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdisk. Img
And do a reboot
Relock bootloader upto your wish..
Better keep oem unlocked in developer options
If you have both unlocked bootloader and frp follow from step 2
I heard huawei discontinued the unlock page
In that case use dc unlocker to find the code
It will cost some money

Thank you I will try this but the dload method didn't worked when I tried 4 days ago...
I can't go into dload update mode (when I hold all the physical buttons the phone restarts and this appears (picture 1) and got stuck on this screen).
Also I don't know why but the phone doesn't charge, when I unplug it after 1h of charge, it shows the critical battery screen (picture 2) and it goes off...
Any help is reaaly appreciated!
Any other ideas?

Though situation, if not charging. Bit to verify, try different cable and charging brick to make sure.
I changed twice the cable and nothing change...
Is there a method to factory reset the device in fastboot mode?
Maybe I should try HWOTA8?

If battery is not charging, then it will not take a flash.
You can maybe try remove back cover and unplug battery, then reconnect see if it will take a charge.
As for your question about resetting with fastboot. You can wipe data, and maybe format system also. But I don't think that will help you.
My friend is asking help. His situation is similar. The phone is honor 6x.
My opinion is that something wrong with boot partition. you can ask some body extract the boot image from another phone. Then run "fastboot flash boot_ramdisk boot.img".
Hope it helps
Thank you for your answer.
This command didn’t work.
My phone got stuck for one month now...I’m desesperate...

Describe problem please
As I recall it is as follows
** Phone working,
** Attempts some backup or restore using multi-tool
** This made phone no longer boot
**Possible that nougat images flashes to Oreo partition tanle (or visa- versa)
**Now no recovery or erecovery will even boot.
**Also phone shuts off with low battery as soon as cable unplugged.
If this is the case, I see no way forward. Because the battery needs to hold something in order for flashing to complete
