I think no
It was not booting up.
Do you have Android usb drivers and adb installed on your pc ? If so , connect device to pc and boot into csc mode (bootloader), then in command prompt do the command "fastboot devices" if the serial number of your device appears, that's indicating that you have usb debugging enabled and something can still be done.So check it out. And if not, then so sorry.......!

To start with, you have not written the full specifications of your phone.

Not error in flash tool.
That error comes in
Mobile.
Look bro, that's not possible, this is telling me you did not follow my guide, Asus flash tool is a tool used to flash service firmware (raw.zip) or you probably just did not do anything, or did it wrong((.

Or maybe you just connected you phone in recovery mode instead of CSC mode ? Just can't figure it, I'm suspecting you didn't do anything from the guide!
