This is not relevant
If people have 'continuing to os'
Isoc Drivers are installed correctly already
Otherwise , xFSTK wouldn't open or give blank screen



Lots of people struggling with ' continuing to os'

you are right @timbernot but i have tried to help multiple users remotely. lot of them had installed wrong kind of intel dnx driver somehow. i don't know how they get it. may be either they did not power cycle the device after installing soc driver and before installing xFSTK. because if someone do not power cycle the device before installing xFSTK. it replaces drivers with inbuilt drivers in xFSTK. but users do not read guide properly. they just skip lines amusing that it is a basic kind of info.

Never had that problem here on windows 10 , heaven knows what it takes to feck it up tho , but then reading last few days peoples replies to other topics ................anything and everything is possible to go wrong

 

[timbernot]

Just tried every conceivable method to try to replicate incorrect driver installation , cannot get it to install incorrectly , it either installs or doesn't , when it doesn't , xfstk will not open here on windows 10.
My method , quickest .
Disable driver enforcement . Windows 10 ..google it
Install isoc driver , where it says connect phone and power cycle it , do it ...but don't go any further .
Then PC installation on task bar shows ( fills very slow)
Reboot PC , it will tell you your isoc driver installation isn't set up yet ( ignore)
Restart PC , power cycle phone when PC starts to set up ...isoc driver installs .
Every time

Check the first 2:17 mins of my unbrick video in my signature below, see if you are in the right section [ bla bla +CRC] where settings need to be modified at 18:30mins into the video too.
When all files are in. And settings above are correct to what is shown at 18:30 mins
Connect phone , press download..
Press and keep pressed power till the first of two buzzes.then release power.
Hit download again at the same time as you release power

 

[skyangel84]

Thanks for the help! I managed to unbricked my phone

 

[linuxiano85]

Have you sorted this out yet ?
Hello, a few things :-
1 Have you ever had this device working ? or did you receive it in this condition ?
2 Can you confirm you are in the correct section with the settings modified eg, the box ending in [ bla bla +CRC ] ?
3 where it says >" 14:21:44 - XFSTK-STATUS--Firmware download completed. Continuing to OS... " Can you immediately press and keep pressed power button until 2 buzzes then release and then do the same immediately( basically powering off and on before it reaches #20)
4 Also , at the beginning of the flash -- power cycle the fone , so just as you feel the first of the two buzzes release power Then - press download in xFSTK at the same time and attempt number 3
5 After a few attempts , if met with failure ...leave connected to pc -- xfstk open for approx 20 mins and begin your usual flash
6 Let us know here when this above succeeds :good:

I too have this problem. My Zenfone no vibration and connects to the PC only as moorefielde device device.
I tried with gpflag 0x80000807 and 0x800000807 but no result. reboots and black screen and no vibration.
just end the flash shows the message Firmware download completed. Continuing to OS ... and the phone is switched off completely.

buddy your log shows that you are using wrong gp value... you are using 5 zero's. Instead of 4 zero's u should try with 4 zero's and dont forget to tick gp value override


and if you again facing issues report here... :fingers-crossed:

even with 4 zeros the result does not change. Using a PC with Windows 10, I also tried it on another PC with windows 7 but no change.

If you are not getting vibration , battery will be too low .
Charge phone for a full day repeat what you already been doing , reverting between the 4 and 5 zeros.
If not enough power to vibrate , there won't be enoght power to reach bootloader
If device gets warm on charger , its charging .

Flashing Firmware Without AFT:
Problem in line 5 :

It makes no difference whether the mark when off or in moorefiel mode?

no good news, I put in charging the phone for almost two days but no vibration. I also dismantled and removed the battery for one hour but nothing changed. the non-illuminated screen and always black, with xFSTK the end there is always written Firmware download completed Continuing to OS. This problem happened because I wanted to be LineageOS back to stock firmware and I flashed bootloader recovery and stock to ZE550ML_Modder V3.3.

And check my ubricking thread in my signature , there's a vid there using the download technique from the first link above , see if you are doing something wrong.
Although , if got warm , vibration should be back .

Check your cable connection to the power brick. A 2 hour charging should do the trick
