Thanks this worked for my A500KL!

Thank you! I had my zenfone 5 A500KL bricked for almost half a year.

This is what i did
in windows 10 --->
cmd
c:/adb
adb devices
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname(in my case it was ZenFone5LTEStock.img "From this thread" )

Then I got a message in cmd. It said Waiting for phone.
So I pressed down power + volume up. The phone was detected by my PC and the command finally ran.
Next I pressed down power + volume up again and the recovery mode menu finally showed up again!
From there just wiped cache, wiped system, install rom from sd.

Thanks everyone!!! :D

I would kiss you right now if i could (and im no gay.)

I was missing this and worked my *** off the last 2 weeks trying to fix the recovery.. I found this and it worked like a charm in 5 minutes bang. Phone on and working.


God bless you my friend!

anyone have stock recovery A500KL WW.12.4.5.58 ? My Recovery was bricked at Invalid Boot image
This should work for you. I'm running stock with the same Firmware version. Sorry it's taken me so long to jump back into this tread. Was using a Moto for a while. I like this phone so much more, but with all the stock Asus crap you can barely have any apps. Going to re-root and get rid of some of the bloatware.

1. download adb
Code:
https://androiddatahost.com/wp-content/uploads/minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4.2.zip
2. unpack it any place, i suggest you to move it to c/adb is quick and the best way.
3. in keyboard press windows key + r, type cmd, than press enter
4. in black cmd window you must type 'cd c:\adb'
#tips# if other disk like D first 'D:' than cd D:\adb or cd adb (or just paste your path to folder)
5. type adb devices to see : 1) correct adb work ? 2) drivers for phone work correct if not u need drivers
5b. In phone go to developer mode and select 'debug usg'
#tip# developer mode turn on if 7 times touch build version in information section.
5c. If connected click in phone 'yes' and remember connect debuggin with pc.
6. if after type adb devices you have somethink like this :

7. if good like this type 'fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
#question# recovery file where ? - recovery.img paste to main adb folder
8. just wait for pass and dats it :] u have custom recovery

Anyone here who can help to unbrick my ASUS Zenfone 5 LTE ( A500KL ). Its stuck in invalid boot image. If i press power + Volume up it goes to the CSC mode. Fastboot commands working there but only limited. If anyone can help I can give access by remote session using teamviewer. Please contact me ASAP. Appreciate your help.
