if you downloaded yakju-icl53f image, extract with 7zip and you shoud see a .TAR file. Extract it again with 7zip and you should see bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img, radio-maguro-i9250xxkk6.img and image-yakju-icl53f.zip.

Reboot your device in bootloader mode and be sure fastboot is recognizing your phone with this code: fastboot devices
if you see your serial number's device, you are OK; if not, you have to install Samsung drivers properly.
then flash the images:

I have a problem: When it tries to write the factory image to system, it stops. Are there any solutions to that?

[Flashing STOCK ROM from Custom Rom] [No Recovery Mode, Fastboot accessible]

I followed these steps and now my Asus zf2 (ze551ml) is back alive! For the issue mentioned below, I didn't find much anywhere so I thought I'd put here what helped me.
Issue: Only fastboot mode accessible, can't enter recovery. (Also my bootloader was locked, MM bootloader, No OS). After selecting recovery mode from bootloader, again it enters fastboot, i.e the process in video above couldn't install the recovery (This must be because my bootloader was locked). I tried unlocking the bootloader by the .bat files available on XDA but since I'd not enabled OEM unlocking, unlocking failed everytime. My OS got wiped out, so only fastboot mode was accessible.
Solution:
I believe you have installed Minimal ADB and fastboot on your PC.
Download the raw file from the XDA thread.
Now first of all, change extention of the .raw firmware file to .zip.
Then just extract all files from it into adb and fastboot folder.
Now in folder (where you placed files from raw firmware and adb and fastboot tool folder) at empty place anywhere in folder hold Shift on computer keyboard and right click with mouse. Now click open command window here.
Perform the following commands one after another:
1. fastboot devices ( see if it is recognized: else plug out usb and plugin again, if USB debugging was on then this will definitely work)
2. fastboot oem erase_osip_header
3. fastboot oem start_partitioning
4. fastboot flash /tmp/partition.tbl partition.tbl
5. fastboot oem partition /tmp/partition.tbl
6. fastboot erase system
7. fastboot erase cache
8. fastboot erase data
9. fastboot erase APD
10. fastboot erase ADF
11. fastboot oem wipe splashscreen
12. fastboot oem stop_partitioning
13. fastboot flash splashscreen splash_sign.bin
14. fastboot flash token MFG_BOM_Full.bin
15. fastboot flash ifwi ifwi-prod.bin
16. fastboot flash boot boot_sign.bin
17. fastboot flash recovery recovery_sign.bin
18. fastboot flash fastboot droidboot_sign.bin
19. fastboot flash APD APD.img
20. fastboot flash system system.img
21. fastboot reboot
Phone will successfully reboot into system. Don't worry, first boot gonna take a little longer time.

Download raw file
Hello,
From where I can download raw file? Can you please provide a link?
Thanks in advance

Did you extract your fastboot rom twice? you need to extract the fastboot rom[can be found here] twice to flash via mi flash.If that doesn't work follow this:
Assuming your bootloader is unlocked then boot device in fastboot mode and connect to PC. Make sure you have minimal ADB and fastboot installed in PC. Move vbmeta.img file from the fastboot file you have(it's inside the images folder) to the adb and fastboot folder. Then flash using this command:
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
if that does not work then type:
Code:
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
after flashing vbmeta flash recovery.
However if your bootloader is not unlocked you need to visit service center.

Question Does anyone have FULL Fastboot Flashing steps?

Does anyone have the full fastboot flashing steps from the Bootloader to everyfile in the image file.zip?

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking. To be rooted? To merely flash full stock firmware? If the latter, just extract the full firmware zip and the latest Platform Tools into the same folder. If you don't want to wipe your phone, edit the Flash-All.bat with Notepad (assuming you're running Windows) and remove the "-w ", and save the file. Then open a command prompt in that folder, type Flash-All.bat and press enter. That's it.
If you're asking what are the steps the Flash-All.bat takes to flash everything that's in the inner zip file that's unextracted, just open the Flash-All.bat with Notepad and take a look.
If you're wanting to be rooted, [GUIDE] Root Pixel 6 Pro with Magisk.
If none of my guesses are correct, please be more specific of what exactly you're asking.

Wouldn't it be just fastboot flash filename "file location" for each file?

Every device is different, with Motorola we started with :
fastboot gat-var
and flashed each image seperately.

The "flash-all.bat" only does a "fastboot update <update.zip>" - so no individual flashing of image files.....

Yea, but i cannot tell where the image.zip is getting hung up at if i run that.

You could open a command shell and run the flash-all.bat from there - then you at least see the output of the command.
Or you can enter the commands from the flash-all.bat manually in a commandline window (everything starting with "fastboot..." )....

OK, I don't know LIX - is that some kind of Linux ?
I would still assume you can execute the dividual fastboot commands from the flash-all.bat (flash-all.sh) manually ?!

LIX is short for Linux

I'm not sure if fastboot would work in a Linux terminal window as I've always used Windows... Best of luck finding a solution!
Oh, and by the way, you can use fastboot in CMD and flash individual partitions with it. An example command of flashing the bootloader file would be:
"fastboot flash bootloader bootloaderfilename.img"
You essentially just have to change the last word before the filename to flash different partitions (aside from when you're flashing the update image, as it's a little bit different then).
Also note that the bootloader.img file would have to be in the exact same location as your adb and fastboot files. But again, I'm not at all sure how it would work on Linux...

Why would anyone ever change their bootloader?
