Your clicking on the wrong folder. Maybe try clicking into the folder you have selected to flash.
If you extracted the download to a separate folder you need to open that folder and select the next file inside

extract the .img from the radio/recovery ect you want to flash, put the phone in fastboot mode and connect it to your pc, copy the .img file to the tools folder inside your android sdk, open a command prompt and navigate to the same tools folder. then use the command (example for a radio) fastboot flash radio xxxxxx.img if its a standard update.zip though just flash it through recovery.
Thanks alot buddy!

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.
CMIIW
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...
and one thing more is there ant way to install cwm or twrp or any other recovery on this device......
Flash fonepad firmware
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

How can i revert back to MiUI from lıneageos 14.1?

hey guys i want to go back to miui global beta rom. how can i do it officially like mi flash? thanks in advance
Use MI Flash tool to flash back the official MIUI Rom
Fastboot rom...
Two ways.
Mi Flash method: you totally clean the phone and loose internal storage and twrp. Fastboot rom.
TWRP : you need to have installed the Zcx recovery. After that, full wipe and install the rom (recovery rom).
How can i do fastboot rom? Could you clarify the situation?
With Mi flash app for Windows. Download fastboot rom and flash with Mi flash app. Be careful to choose good option in bootom bar of Miflash, because default option will lock your bootloader...

Make sure you download the .tar.gz or .tgz file if you are using miflash
or else no .bat scripts that are required for miflash tool to work.

Did you unzip and nagivate to the folder with the flash_all.bat file?
IT could be folder directory too long. Move the rom folder with the flash_all.bat file into the C:\ directory.
If it says flash_all.bat not found then it may be that you navigated to the wrong folder or the rom file that you downloaded doesn't contain the flash_all.bat script.
IT may also be that you dont have the drivers installed. You could try getting fastboot/adb and checking if your device is found by typing 'fastboot devices'.
Remember that your device must be in fastboot mode (reboot vol down+power) (shown by bunny and fastboot logo).
Hi all sory for bad englis. So i have rooted phone and instaled recovery. Now i am on redurrection rom. I want install xiaomi eu rom. So i can flash with recovery like other roms normaly xiaomi eu rom ? I read on other sites for boot loop but there are old pages. Thank you for ansvers

Fastboot stuck

Anyone here can help me, because I'm stuck in fastboot mode after I tried to root my device using magisk.
Qfil not recognise my device (also Adb, using "Adb devices" devices)
Bootloader Unlocked
Unrooted
Hi you need to activate Test Mode in Windows and install qdloader drivers in device manager (listed as Qh_USB_BULK or something like that) Google it. In my Google drive folder is a Firmware for qfil otherwise download it from Hikary calyx Website. Just Google 'Nokia 3.2 edl firmware'. You need to remove those lines in rawprogram0.xml which are not as image there. So compare the filenames in this file and delete those lines where a image is not in that folder (like dp_AP_signed.mbn is not in that folder so remove the line)
Good luck
i am also stuck on fastboot mode. i want to get back to stock rom. whats the procedure

Would the "Nokia 3.2 edl firmware" work as well for the Nokia 2.2? I haven't found any firmware specific for the 2.2. Also, would the firmware contain the boot.img file? (I just want to root the 2.2 and this is the file I'm missing).
I had the same issue after trying to install an incompatible custom ROM the way I fixed it is by:
1- downloading the stock ROM
2- extract it
3- while the phone is in fastboot flash all .img files like this:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
etc...
after flashing all .img files type
Code:
fastboot reboot
and that's it, it might tell you your phone isn't trusted this will go after a system update.

Return to stock

I've tried xiaomi.eu rom, and it just doesn't feel good for me. I want to go back to stock, but i'm afraid of anti-roolback brick. What would be steps to return to stock without twrp? Do i follow other instructions and use mi flash tool and fastboot rom? can i put rom in downloaded_zip and flash it that way from xiaomi.eu rom?
You have to use Mi Flash Tool.
Download latest MIUI fastboot rom and extract it twice with 7zip so you have a folder with the image and batch files.
Put phone in fastboot mode.
And flash it with Mi Flash by selecting the folder with the image files.
It will give an error if you don't have a log folder so create that first in Miflash folder.

Did that, didn't have the log folder and got an error at the end but everything worked after reset, except for netflix, which won't download on an unlocked bootloader, but fixed that with magisk and fix...
