Hi , 3 says ago my phone went to black screen while I was listening to music ( everything was working except screen was black) , usually when this happens I took the power and volume- to reset but this time after doing that my phone won't boot ,. I tried many things but it just didn't work , than I wait till the battery drain out ( I can feel when It was very cold) and I put it in to the character red light blinks for a minutes then stoped again nothing happens even after a few hours , PC won't recognise the device at all
So I decided to use the test point for EDL boot , it worked and I get the unbrick tools success message and even the green led light ,but again won't boot to bootloader in any way , I tried everything ( removing battery socket , get the volume+ and connect USB and etc)
Please if possible someone help me
Thanks

It seems something in boot loader or another partition keeps the phone busy , somewhere between fine and not fine so that's why as soon as phone is on it freezes to a loop , is there any full raw firmware that I can flash by EDL mode?

i found this file , I'm not sure if I'm allowed to send any link here so i will just write the name

ZS661KS-factory-redownload-QMSCT-FUSED-17.0501.2001.57-0-F.zip

but the instruction looks so complicated and it needs qdart which there is no way to download

if someone can make it simpler and we can flash by miflash or Qualcomm flash image loader would be great

What do you guys mean by "side port"? Is it the bottom (orange) one, or the top one (that can be used for charging)?,

    Unbrick your ASUS ROG Phone 3 for free!!

    Don't pay for this stuff anywhere, it's your device and you deserve the right to fix it yourself.
    I noticed some people in the community charging upto 50$ for the firmware which should've been free from the start.

    Code:
    #include <std_disclaimer.h>
    /*
    * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
    * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.
    * I'm not gonna tell you how to install drivers and other things and only[COLOR="RoyalBlue"][/COLOR]
    * proceed with this if you know what you're doing and please do some
    * research first. YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you
    * point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
    */

    NOTE - In case it's a Hard / Soft Brick
    For Hard Brick - Hard brick is when your device can only enter EDL mode and shows up as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 in device manager.
    - Just follow from Step 1 to 3 to fix your device.

    For Soft Brick - Soft brick is when the system fails to boot but you can access fastboot mode.
    - Just follow Step 3 to fix your device.

    Prerequisites ►
    • Windows PC
    • Device fastboot drivers
    • Qualcomm EDL drivers
    • a bricked ROG 3 duh

    Downloads ►
    • EDL Unbrick tool - ROG_PHONE_3_ZS661KS_UNBRICK_EDL.7z
    • RAW ROG 3 Firmware - Check the second post below

    Instructions ►
    Make sure you have device manager opened up to see if the device is connected.

    1] Extract the EDL firmware
    - Use the side port and connect device to PC
    - Then run the file named 1ROG3_VFLASH_EDL.cmd

    2] After you get an EDL SUCCESS message let the device boot within a minute or two into bootloader, use the device manager to
    check if it's in EDL and if it's still there after a minute, press Power key + Volume down for about 12-13 seconds until
    you don't see it in Device Manager, keep it plugged in and let it boot or try to power it on so it gets into the bootloader.

    3] Once it's in bootloader flash any of the RAW firmware linked above depending on the device that you have, if its Tencent then flash CN, for global it's WW.
    - Extract the RAW firmware and run the file zs661ks_raw_flashall.bat , have some patience and do not disconnect the device as this will take some time.

    • That's all folks.
