[FW] 7.1.1 & 6.0.1 Service Tech Firmwares - Debrick - Upgrade - Downgrade - Asus ZenFone 3 Zoom Guides, News, & Discussion

FOR THE ASUS 3 ZOOM ZE553KL
I Found These Working Asus Service Technicians Full Stock Firmwares. They Include Files That Are Not In Asus' Website FW.
Includes The Last 7.11 Nougat Before Oreo Was Released
Info I Found About Tech Fw:
note that this firmware is different from the usual firmware by asus. It is used for servicing the phone, it restores all partition from factory except for imei, s/no, mac address etc. Google account lock is active in this firmware.
The firmware is used by asus flash tool to restore your phone partitions. If by any chance, the restore is not successful using the tool, just unzip the file and flash manually (flashall_aft.cmd)
you need this firmware if your partitions are totally corrupted (example if you cannot go into fastboot mode). Most of the time, bricked phones can be restored by flashing asus stock recovery (recovery.img), then stock asus firmware. If that doesn't solve the bricking, then you will need the raw/service firmware.

These Are Untouched Full Stock FW
You Can Just Flash The Normal Files Recovery.img, Boot.img And System.img To Change Android Versions Or To Unbrick
Recovery.img, Boot.img And System.img And The Emmc_appsboot_8953.mbn File (Could Be The Bootloader)were The Only Changes Throughout The Fw's, All The Other Files/partitions Are The Same Such As The Radios Etc
The Bootloader Lock Status Doesnt Get Changed Afaik
You Can Still Update Using Asus' Builtin Update
They Are In Zip Format, Unzip Them To Their Own Folder

Root, How do adb fastboot commands work? need help

Hello, I am student at my university studying Computer Science. I work in tech support at my school. This is the first time I have modified the android os. The community on xda has been really helpful and knowledgeable. I have created an account to see if anyone else has done the same thing I have. Anyway read below for my post.
I am trying to change the recovery on my phone to twrp. Let me start out by saying I rooted my phone before on build number 130 (KIW-L24,Android 5.1,EMUI 3.1,C567B130,United States, Channel-Others). I used the instructions here and it worked http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/root-kiw-l24-usa-kiwi-t3305190.
I then decided to update through the huawei updater to build number 151 (KIW-L24, Android 5.1, EMUI 3.1, C567B151, United States, Channel-Others). It eventually got to a black EMUI menu with installing 0%. So I powered it off even though it warned against it. So my phone was bricked so I followed instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/help/bricked-honor-5x-t3328308 and my phone worked again.
Okay so now I want to root my phone so I follow the instructions for rooting. Problem is that I can not replace the EMUI recovery with twrp recovery. I am guessing that it may be because 151 is a security update.
I use these commands on adb with the twrp_kiwi.img in my adb folder(named .android by default)
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp_kiwi.img
fastboot reboot
adb reboot recovery
So I wanted to see if I could put the old firmware back so I followed the instructions for bricked device. But the fastboot commands don't seem to do anything with the .img files.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot reboot
Yea so I am lost as to why fastboot commands arent working as it says finished and any advice would be appreciated.
Also is it possible to format the phone similar to a pc and use adb to flash the firmware back on.
I want to eventually backup my phone and put cyanogenmod on it.
... I am guessing that it may be because 151 is a security update

If your bootloader is unlocked, you should be able to flash what you want.
Have you tried reinstalling the Android device drivers on your PC?

And as you felt need to mention "I am student at my university studying Computer Science. I work in tech support at my school.", you should know first University mission is to teach you to search and exercise by yourself, to do things step by step and to guess by yourself what was wrong. ^^
Just one tip and advice : read up your own post carefully and you should find out what you've done wrong...

That was just background information unrelated to my post. I am currently trying to see if I can put the old firmware back to see if it fixes the problem.

Hi, I would like to update to the latest xiaomi.eu (android q), I currently installed the TWRP (LR team 3.3.0-0523), I would go to Mauro's .41 ... I would not run into bootloop and brick problems (reading there are several cases) .. using this tool, can I feel comfortable? or is it better to proceed via fastboot? grazie mille
I would like to know, how to use this tool to flash device. Should I boot the device in fastboot mode, then connect the tool to flash it?

You can connect the device powered on on in fastboot mode, the important thing is that debug usb is enabled. The tool will eventually tell you that the mode is not good for what you want to do

I did everything and connected to the tool looks everything is fine, after it I flash factory images, the pop out other screen to input the ROM, then click flash ROM then nothing happen. No respond at all..
I am planning to flash TWRP on my Mi 8 but I get a warning message saying if I don't root afterwards, my device will be bricked. Is this holding true? I want to keep my stock ROM and no root.
This tool is stale and not working anymore.

upgrade to Android 10 OTA with unlocked bootloader

Hi guys,
i hope you can help me a little. This phone drives me crazy.
The goal: Android 10 OTA with TWRP
What i did so far:
bought the downgrade firmware to v1.200 with techmesto
bootloader unlocked
flashed TWRP 3.3.1.0 via fastboot flash boot *.img
WIFI can not be activated on v1.200 firmware
( Update on 2020.11.22: Wifi only works if the montly timestamp of the rom security patch level is the same of the TWRP time stamp)
thats why OTA update via APP is not possible
because of that, i tryed to adb sideload via TWRP the OTA firmware v1.390 FULL OTA from telegram "Nokia OTA Repository" ( i know 390 is android9. It should be just the first step)
I did this on A
reboot
firmware is still v1.200 (WTF?)
got the information via telegram to change the slot, done via TWRP, switched to B
reboot
phone is booting to default recovery and saying "...00WW_1_390" ... "can't load android system. your data may be corrupt"
flashed TWRP 3.3.1.0 via fastboot flash boot *.img on B (i guess)
my phone is now booting to TWRP only
boot to TWRP and restored full backup of v1.200
Result: my phone is now booting to TWRP only, no matter i activate A or B in TWRP. What can i do?
Is it possible to flash the Nokia OTA Repositorys via TWRP?
Best,
Hi, you should not flash TWRP on the device except for if you want to flash a custom ROM. Due to the way TWRP for this model is developed, your WiFi will not work if you flash the TWRP image to you boot slot. Basically the same if you flash any modified boot image.
Also, since the boot image is what is responsible for getting your device to boot to the system, flashing a TWRP to boot slot can also result in the device not booting at all and instead getting stuck with TWRP only.
What I recommend:
Load TWRP, flash any full OTA (Android 9 or 10)
Do a full wipe (factory reset equivalent - essentially erase userdata) and then change the slot (if current is B, change to A). And finally reboot.
Good if the device boots up.
If not, please use NFT to flash any full OTA update you'll find in the Telegram channel (Android 10 preffered). That should get your device to boot normally
The culprit for your non-working WiFi is not the 1200 firmware, but the fact that you flashed the TWRP image to your boot slot I hope that helps

This worked very well. ( before and after i did a normal wipe in twrp). After installing v1390, I did the factory reset not in twrp but , after a reboot, in the default recovery. And the phone now boots again to android.
Thank you very much.
So to sumarize: After flashing an OTA with TWRP or adb sideload it is very important to "... then change the slot (if current is B, change to A)"
Android v1.390 wants to install an update 1510MB in size , directly at the first start assistant. There is no option to proceed without that direct update.
Is it possible to loose my unlocked bootloader with this update?
Aha.. Yeah, if you reset the device while OEM Unlocking is not enabled in the Settings (which disables device protection features) and a Google account was added, then the phone will trigger FRP lock which will force you to connect to a WiFi network before you can get into the phone. And such WiFi will then force you to update the phone before you can start to use it.
You can update though. It is okay. It won't affect an already unlocked bootloader. The bootloader will remain unlocked ?
thanks, yeah, nearly all done on my phone now.
But .... the default recovery doesn't work. After selecting "recovery mode" in fastboot mode i get a dead android. Can i fix this some how ?

After that i could enter the recovery mode.

HELP! [Infinix HOT 10i X659B] Phone stuck at booting after trying to install a patched-boot from Magisk.

Ok i need some emergency help please: what i did:
Downloaded stock rom (exact version number of my Infinix Note 10i X659B) X659B-H696AvAw-R-OP-210330V152
Grabbed boot.img, placed on phone folder,
installed magisk apk, patched with magisk apk and put that patched-img to the folder in my PC.
Got minimal adb tools, used adb reboot bootloader to put phone on fastboot (saw fastboot screen on phone) did:
fastboot flash boot_a patch-boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b patch-boot.img
(renamed the file to patch-boot.img for convenience)
Now phone is stuck booting

}
i only see the "Infinix" start up screen, then a message: Orange State: Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted
Your device will boot in 5 seconds
to be fair that message appeared when i unlocked the bootloader, and beside the data wipe, the phone worked just fine
So where i think i screwed up is by installing it on boot_b too, (guide i followed said that i should also patch boot_b if my phone have a/b system (which it does, also magisk app also told me)
So what i can do? I cant seem to be able to put my phone down on fastboot again to try to patch either the stock image or reflash the whole phone. Or i just bricked my brand new phone? :'(
With Android having an A/B image partition layout the user-runable Android is that in slot A. Slot B is only used to temporarily store OTAs: When update process successfully ends then at phone's reboot whole slot B gets copied into slot A and finally device gets booted into updated slot A. My POV: It's always an idiocy to flash a patched boot.img to slot B.
To get rid off of all modifications you applied so far you're recommended to re-flash phone's Stock ROM.

How you can recommend i reflash the whole rom? I cant seem to find how to get the phone into another state. Volumen Up + Power does nothing, phone keeps trying to reboot.
Volume Down + Power does nothing either
Volume UP+Down+Power keeps the screen off, but i can hear windows connecting/disconnecting every 10 seconds or so. so how i connect it to, lets say, SP Flash Tools (considering is a MTK device)?
Well tried to do it with SP Flash Tools, but after trying to "Format All+Download" with all the checkboxes subsystems selected, i get a "auth file needed" error
Didn't find any of that in the firmware i downloaded :c
You need mtk bypass tool for that

[GUIDE] Bootloader unlock and root without TWRP - ZE554KL, Z01KD*

Hello,
As I had a somehow hard time to find a comprehensive guide on how to unlock the bootloader and root the Zenfone 4, here is a quick guide on how to do so. The method below was successfully used on a Z01KDA.
As usual: this guide will be used at your own risk. I won't accept any responsibility in any way if it results in a damage of any sort on your device.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
PREREQUISITES
Zenfone 4 (that... should be obvious, but who am I to judge)
A computer with:
Windows (at least Windows 7, I guess)
Fastboot ready to use (I recommend using the file from this link as it is the most straightforward, but if you prefer the SDK tools, well, you do you) and being able to use it (though on a basic level)
A USB-C cable capable of transferring data
Time to read all the annoying stuff below, and patience.
1. Bootloader unlock (from this thread // thanks to OP @shakalaca)​
Whichever method you use to unlock your bootloader, all your personal data and settings will be erased and your phone will be restored to factory default. So, backup everything before going forward.
As this method was used on a rather old version of the Zenfone 4 firmware, I suggest that you use the official downgrade method from Android P to Android O. To do so :
Download the file here on your computer (the main page is located here, under Drivers & Tools), and put it at the root of the phone, do not change the name of the file
After unplugging your phone, it will prompt a software update, proceed with it
If it doesn't work for any reason, use this method instead:
Put the file on a SD card (...inside the phone)
Reboot the phone to recovery (via ADB, or Power button + Volume down)
Install the update from recovery
Wait for the phone to reboot.
After the downgrade, you can proceed to the bootloader unlock:
Download the method of @shakalaca located here
Unzip all the files to the same folder
Get into fastboot on the phone (reboot with Power button + Volume up)
Make sure that your phone is detected with
Code:
fastboot devices
Run the file "ze554kl_unlock.bat" as administrator
Let it do its magic
Your phone will reboot, congrats, the bootloader is unlocked.

}
2. Install the latest firmware available on your Zenfone 4​
Follow the same steps as in the previous guide (1.), but with this file (the main page is located here, under BIOS & FIRMWARE ==> you have to click on EXPAND ALL to see all files)
3. Root​
On your phone:
Download the Magisk Manager apk from this link on your phone
Install it
On your computer:
Download the file from step 2. above
Extract it to any location
Locate the file boot.img and put it your phone.
On your phone:
Open Magisk
Click on Install
On the next screen, select
Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity
Preserve force encryption
Click NEXT
Under Method, click Select and Patch a File
Select the boot.img file
Let Magisk patch the file
Locate and put the modified boot.img file on your computer (in the same folder as the one with fastboot if you did not install it system wide)
Get into fastboot mode (reboot with Power button + Volume up)
On your computer
Open a cmd window
cd to the folder where the modified boot.img is located
Check if your phone is detected with the following command:
Code:
fastboot devices
Input the following command and press Enter:
Code:
fastboot flash boot name_of_the_modified_boot.img
Reboot your phone with the following command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Your phone will reboot, congrats, it is rooted.
Feel free to ask any question if this guide is not clear, but it should be easy to follow!
I'm not getting past step 1 because my computer doesn't recognize the cell phone when it's in csc mode, it doesn't appear even when I do the fastboot devices command, could you help me?
