Unbrick vid , any brick from beginning

[timbernot]

ok! i will do and let you know.. thanks!

Remember , depending on how long you been trying to flash your fone in a bricked state, battery maybe too low to switch to bootloader. Leaving on charge a while, some have found that their fones enter bootloader after being on charge a while.
also later, when you come to flash raw-- use the flashtool in the first page , the later ones flash at different places (my findings) and the process in the vid will be similar to the flash of this flashtool. Also depends on pc speeds etc.
When you have success hit the thanks button and i will know you are on the next flashing phase

You have success , you should be in bootloader by now.... but you`re saying you are only at the 4 colours screen still ?

If the case of 4 colours still , try flashing again with the setting as they are 0x80000807 (4x0`s)
But once you meet the four colour screen again, change the settings(gp overide) in the box ending in [CRC] to
0x800000807 (5x0`s)
Dont disconnect phone, just recycle phone - power plus vol+ for ten secs , release and repeat .
if no success , flash again 4x0`s till success and leave phone connected to pc and wait a while.

i did it about 6 times and nothing, damn zf2 jaja. When the 4 colors appear, i changed for 0x800000807 and press power plus vol + and repeat, the 4 colours appear again and that's all. I tried "fastboot devices" and nothing again.

I`m miffed by this - this never been a problem for me
The only thing i can suggest is try new file downloads and maybe fanfans new files, remember once downloaded. Extract files offline with a/v disabled(not driver files,they are ok) and try again.
Maybe leave connected to pc over night and check again in the morn - grasping at straws now ugh

thanks for all your help! i will do in other computer, maybe i did something wrong in the process.

Timbernot, will this work for lollipop 2.20.40.196? because I updated with xposed installed I forgot to remove it first. The root is fine, I used the one which enables you to update without removing root.
Then I wiped cache and did factory reset idk if I fcked up lol. But my phone is stuck on asus loading screen and I can access to stock recovery and can connect to pc. Can I still use this method?

If you can enter stock recovery - then adb sideload full firmware
Dont go near flashing anything from here till we sort whats what

 

[smileymatt]

Yes sir, stock recovery
But the last I installed xfstk it wont open on my pc, so idk what mistake I did in installing it

Timber sorry for the barrage of questions, but I just wanted to make sure which firmware do I need? and I only need the firmware and the adb?
I have the current which is 2.20.40.196.
Do I need 2.15.40.13? or my phones previous firmware?

And a sample of this command please
adb sideload file.zip (where file.zip is the file name of the Asus firmware)

 

[sukhwant717]

fastboot mode (red colour)
Product_Name - Z008
Variant - ASUS_Z008
HW_VERSION -
BOOTLOADER VERSION - unknow
IFWI VERSION - 0088.016B
SERIAL NUMBER - 0123456789ABCDEF

sorry though i am unable to understand properly what you actually want to do. but if you want to update to Marshmallow. then you are good the go. 2.20.40.194 is needed to update to marshmallow. yeas that is the correct command to sideload.

install this if not got, set it up for short-cut on desktop...right click on short-cut - open file location-- put the asus firmware in the box where you opened file location--rename it to MOFD_SDUPDATE and close it.
go back to minimal adb, back on desktop and open it.
Put your fone into recovery , choose update over adb on fone..... and send cmds from pc is >
adb sideload MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip

minimum adb

Please explain how he runs fastboot cmds when he says he has nothing in fastboot ?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But this seems interesting , another good friend tried this below ......Before we found the quick and correct 4x0`s method, then it was simply forgot ! maybe worth a try for toolshed and i will try next bricked zen2


-Open XFSTK Downloader, first passed click the second tab MRD A0 / B0 + MOOR A0 + CRC .

-Then Go to Options to change the value in the Value Section Override Flag GP 0x80000807. Tick GP value over ride, change device detection time out value to 120 and Click OK is complete initial preparation.

it is to be used after xFSTK process. even when someone gets 4 color bar( withount seeing fastboot window) . users are able to run fastboot commands. xFSTK do not install fastboot permanently its a temporary process.
