Phone is dead but thought I'd share my troubles on xfstk's side in case someone else faces the same problem as I did.

1. Started and did everything on the original post, encountered Windriver Error: 0x20000015. I tried both method but it didn't work, to the point that I build xfstk in linux only to find it still throws errors.
What fixed it for me was to hold down the volume down button before I connect the cable to my laptop for whatever reason but it worked.

2. It then still gave me an error but I forgot what it was, I didn't save the logs until much later. Scouring the thread someone suggests providing a soft fuse file. Okay. I downloaded the file from him BUT xfstk gives me error code 45 softfuses signature error. I had to download the raw firmware from here to get the soft fuse file to get it to work.

So there it is. In the last "successful" attempt xfstk gives me "Success: Download of FW and OS Completed." but of course the phone didn't cooperate. I think you should add those to your original post, especially the first one since it helped a lot of people.
can you make a new post regarding your method , it would be better .
if you want to copy my post , copy it ! but make it new...!
currently i would going add your comment on my post ...!

Hi,
I have followed the steps and xfstk completed the download successfully. However, I still can't access fastboot mode.
Any help would be much appreciated.

It seems like we have to move on with another new gadget, our gadget with this brick has a few options :
1. Stored in cupboard / desk drawer. :(
2. Buy a new motherboard Zenfone. :eek:
3. Sold in such circumstances but bought by the buyer at the cheapest price :crying:

How to flash twrp recovery
What model? Unlock bootloader first then flash TWRP recovery for your specific device in fastboot using command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" whereas "recovery.img" represents your TWRP recovery.
----

I just bricked my Asus Zenfone 2E ZE500CL Z00D but I was able to flash around some images through fastboot after trying some different key combos to get into mode. I then finally came across a very simple bootloader unlocker (not the one on asus' website) ran it which replaced droidboot and some other system files then I used fastboot to flash TWRP and finally i just flashed CyanogenMod 12.1 but now looking to install LineageOS 14.1? instead once i come across the files here.

I am glad i came across this thread. Definitely will help incase i get ahold of any more ASUS devices in brick mode.
