Hi dude try flash boot and recovery from h**ps://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B0aDjdU4gTwZRWxzLWxhYUZPbVk&usp=drive_web

then reboot holding volume down button once done should have recovery menu select install through adb sideload etc

download fw from here: h**ps://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZS550KL/UL-Z00L-WW-21.40.1220.2196-user.zip?_ga=2.175867362.1367738333.1539164489-1033220152.1538417076[/

then on pc copy downloaded fw to adb folder and type: adb sideload UL-Z00L-WW-21.40.1220.2196-user.zip
[/B]
and will begin to install and hope all goes well and good luck

But i alredy try to flash boot, recovery, twrp, even try use flashall.bat, but my bootloader are locked, so when i type 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' it appears that worked, but when i try to go to recovey, the phone just shows the asus logo with 'fastboot mode' on the top, even typing 'fastboot reboot-bootloader' or 'fastboot reboot' while holding the volume down button, it don't work. And typing 'fastboot getvar recovery or boot' shows nothing.

Probably i need to unlock the bootloader first, but i don't know how to do that.

Hi again dude how u getting on? I remember when I used the unlock tool app it just rebooted and nothing looked different at all and the only way I found putTit was u locked was on fastboot mode using this command:

fastboot oem device-info

Said something like bootloader unlocked: True

I'd give it a shot and hopefully its just the case of some bad img's good luck

Same issue with my phone but i'm getting different error

I guys,

I gone through your post and similar issue I'm facing. As suggested I tried unlock boot loader or whenever trying to flash getting below error. Can you help me to get this fix. Might be I'll recover my phone.

target reported max download size of 268435456 bytes
sending 'fastboot' (13273 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.419s]
writing 'fastboot'...
FAILED (remote: partition table doesn't exist)
finished. total time: 0.426s
rebooting into bootloader...
OKAY [ 0.001s]
finished. total time: 0.001s

Below device info i can see but still it boots into fastboot and not in recovery mode
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
(bootloader) Display panel:
(bootloader) Adb Enable: 0
OKAY [ 0.004s]

Hiya dude I know there's a certain fw version that it'll let u adb sideload, I take your getting this issue from trying to side load, I'll have a look and try and find fw I used. It does state device unlocked: true which I did mine using an app if I remember correctly

Are you able to flash recovery ar all ??

Tried this but still it comes in fastboot mode only

Yup i tried these methods earlier. It shows written but when I reboot and try to go to recovery it directly comes into Fastboot. Rather if I remove battery and just plug the usb cable even though it shows fastboot mode.
