Question Suspicious-looking Bootloader / Recovery - ASUS ZenFone 8 Flip

Hi guys! Yesterday I bought a used ZenFone 8 Flip,
I wanted to go to the recovery mode, Wipe Data and use "Apply Update from SD Card" just to be sure, that there is nothing on this phone, that shouldnt be.
But there were a few problems: I couldnt apply the Update from SD Card (mounting failed), I tried to flash the rom with fastboot command (device is authorized while its in normal mode, but in fastboot its unauthorized) I could not do a flash with sideload (cause there is no sideload) and then I saw something (for me) suspicious.
The device dosent load "fastboot" only "fastbootd"
I only got Bootloader version "unkown" and Baseband version "-"
Could you guys please do me a favour and would you check your fastboot / recovery mode if you have the same things? Im really worried.
Thank you so much!

SD card not being recognized, fastboot stuck, help needed

Phone: LG p500
Rom: CM9 (arjen nightly)
Kernel: Default
Apps2SD: [MOD] Move to sd-ext | Simple app, private-app and Dalvik cache to SD solution
2 days ago, my phone gave me like 8 force close in row, so i decided to pull out battery and reboot. Next time i rebooted it got to eternal loop. I wipe dalvik - reboot - nothing, wiped factory reset and got error while erasing things in SD (android secure, ext, etc) i tried to flash a rom and surprise! my phone got error with "Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1" tried other SD including a new one, a just format card and nothing. Read in the internet that could be an issue that sd wasn't recognized and that could be fixed in fastboot. Entered fastboot and placed these lines
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot oem enableqxdm
But fastboot won't execute them, just gives me "..." after whatever line i write and i have to pull out battery enter again to try again.
I'm now down to discovering why doesn't fastboot isn't executing my commands, as for recovery, i'm unable to flash anything without my sd being recognized. I also thought of flashing stock rom through emergency mode, but don't know why i'm unable to get into that mode with the 2 button combo (Volume up + return) while connecting usb. The result is just getting into eternal loop on the android text logo
Any help that you could give me i would be really pleased,
thanks for your time and sorry for my spelling i'm not an english native speaker

thx for the help i dont know how magicaly today after days of trying i could magically get into emergency mode on a friends computer, and managed to install 2.3 stock rom. The problem is now that i still can get sd cards to be recognized, but will keep searching for an answer. I'll have to enable fastboot on my device to try again the
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
any clue on how to get fastboot with out flashing anything? (i'm unable cause sd is unaccesible from any place)
EDIT: Just realized that i wont be able to root with out sd, any workaround?

[Q] First bootloop, then stuck in CWM

I tired to restart phone after noticing that WI-FI isn't working (maybe my internet was laggy, don't know). After restarting phone was stuck on LG logo, i tried many times but again LG logo.
Then i started recovery, and wanted to flash some new ROM. But my CWM won't recoginze my SD card (to add, i wasnt using SD card with this phone). I tried other SD but problem stays. I google it and found out that maybe CWM needs update?
Version of CWM Recovery v6.0.3.1
This shows up when recovery starts..
E:Cant mount / cache/recovery/command
E:Cant mount / cache/recovery/log
E:Cant open / cache/recovery /log
E:Cant mount / cache/recovery/last_log
E:Cant open / cache/recovery/last_log
How to unbrick phone now?
Unfortunatly don't know what ROM was flashed before, or is bootloader unlocked or not. (coming from LG 3D, LG l9 was present. LG 3d methods for flashing is diffrent, so im little confused how to start anything now)
To add that phone now cannot turn on without charger pluged in. Powering on was OK in first few time...
First and important question. Did you unlock your booloader? If yes, you can install cutom roms. If not, you can't install custom roms.
Did you also try to enter SV mode?
1. Power off phone
2. Press and hold volume up
3. Connect phone by usb to PC
4. Wait few sec
5. SV mode should appear.
When you are in SV mode, you can restore stock rom by official LG program.

I started S/W upgrade, and in upper corner it says Bootloader Status: unlocked. So bootloader is unlocked for sure then..
If i manage to update CWM will that solve my problem with SD card? After that just to flash ZIP from recovery?
O something else?

Thanks, now really noob question..
I googled how to update recovery on L9, and found methods with installing some APK, but as i cannot start system how to flash then?
There is 2 ways to install new recovery.
You can flash .zip in old recovery, reset phone and you will have new recovery.
You can also flash new recovery by fastboot. You need to have .img recovery.
Can you reset to fastboot in recovery options?

Not sure how to enter fastboot. Cannot see restart to fastboot in CWM..
You can try to enable adb in recovery and use command "adb reboot oem-unlock"

I cannot start fastboot, dont know how, something doing wrong. On CWM i only have, install zip with sideload (something like that)
Can i flash to stock rom from S/W menu? And what i need if can?
You need phone + usb + pc + lg flash tool (just download it) Connect your phone with SV mode and let program find rom, download and install it.

Not sure what to try next.
I tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085344 stays on 15%, and PC cannot see phone
this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190 , someone sad that this worked becaause first method didnt (was same problem as mine, how i understaned ..)
and tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748384 , stuck after 6 sec (something like that). I readed that maybe BIN was corrupted (because of conversion from KDZ to BIN), now ill try with thid BIN http://uploaded.net/file/j32p8p7y/from/xh3dqq ...
What next.. S/W mode says Bootloader unlocked, and before all this phone was using JB..
I still didn't succeded to recover my phone.
My computer simply cannot see my phone, i tried all tools that were avalible. On 3% to 7% (on updating), just says that phone is not connected.
Strange thing is that i managed to flash V20H_00.kdz two times. Every single time i do the same but only that 2 times flash was successful. One time was with "offline method" and then with "LG flashtool 2014", after that flashing i got dead android with red triangle both times.
Then i wanted to flash v20c_00.kdz , but cannot pass 3% to 7% on flashing AGAIN. I'm frustrated !
I tried to flash on other computer but again, phone is not recognisable.
What to do now?
Can i flash ROM with fastboot ?
UPDATE.
I started upgrade recovery with LGMobile support tool, and finished flashing. But AGAIN i got dead android with red triangle!
Now what to try!?
Update
I even tried to flash ROM on WIN XP, but nothing. Again proces stops on 3% (then quckly) jump to 7%. And thats it.
Strange thing that when i start UPGRADE RECOVERY on Official LG TOOL (i think thats official), program download 500mb+ KDZ and process is successful, but i get Dead Android with red triangle..
Anyone have any advice? What to try?

DOOGEE T6 Pro - Root ?

Hey there,
i was wondering if anyone got an idea how to get root access / TWRP working on a Doogee T6 Pro ?
I don't really find anything online that seems to be working and of course most one-click root tools dont work for China phones.
Anyone got any idea ? The official forums look empty as well.
It looks good

Some useful tips for rooting MAZE Alpha, perhaps will help you : MAZE Alpha root
Use the method I to patch your boot.img with Magisk-v14 and flash the result image, it must works
Here is the HowTo, have done it 3 times yet:
First, get the correct TWRP Version for Doogee T6Pro ( i dont remember where i got it, i can upload it somewhere if someone have a good location) and the SuperSu Zip.
Then, activate the Developer Options in the Device Settings and Activate the OEM Unlock and USB Debugging in there.
The next Step is to Boot the Device in Fastboot mode. you can either do it by USB with the Terminal Command: "adb reboot bootloader" or you can turn the device of and then reboot it by pressing the Volume Up Button and the Power Button simultanously (quite difficult, didnt Work every Time). You will get to a menue with 3 options: Boot to Recovery, Fastboot and Normal. Switch through these Options with the Volume Up Button and Select it with the Volume Down. Go To the Fastboot Option and Select it.
In Fastboot Mode, plug in the device to an computer and type the terminal command "fastboot oem unlock" (in windows, you have to install the fastboot tools. i dont remember that i had to install them in ubuntu... im not sure). this will wipe the whole data of the device. its important to reboot the device afterwards normaly. otherwise it could happen that you get stuck in an bootloop later ( happend twice to me ) this normal system boot will last much longer then normal, so get a coffee or tea
the next step is do get to fastboot mode again and then send from your computer the command: "fastboot flash recovery twrp-recovery-filename.img". this will flash the recovery.img on the recovery partition.
than go to the bootloadermenue and this time you dont choose fastboot but the recovery option. this will start TWRP
while TWRP is running, you can copy the SuperSU zip to the device with Nautilus or in windows systems with windows explorer. then select "Install" in TWRP and select the SuperSU.zip.
After the installation, reboot to normal system and you are ready with rooting!
if something goes wrong, it can happen that booting to normal system will get you stuck in an bootloop. the last time i could repair the system by booting into recovery (TWRP) and select the Wipe menue and there the Format option. the other time i downloaded the original system from Doogee and flashed all partitions. im not sure if that was necessary.... but who knows :fingers-crossed:

Honor 7 bricked after Root - Rescue mode and Recovery OK but no access to disk

Hi everybody,
Sorry if my post already exists and if my english is bad but i really need help...
I tried to root my honor 7 so first i unlocked bootloader successfuly, i installed TWRP too and everything seemed work very good until last step where my phone didn't boot, i stayed stuck in boot logo... Then I done a factory reset with wipe cache, dalvik, data etc...
Now the only things i'm able to do are boot on recovery mode, eRecovery and on fastboot&rescue mode. I lost adb and fastboot and i'm not able to acess to the phone so i can't put a rom on the phone to install it...

Thank you for your reply. I'm able to enter in fastboot, i extracted boot.img and system.img from UPDATE.APP but i don't know what you mean by flash them because i have no link between the phone and the computer. I can't write on the phone, HiSuite tells that the phone is disconnected and explorer doesn't display the phone neither...

I'm not sure I understand the question but i'll try to explain.
I was not able to connect to PC apart with fastboot (reboot in fastboot mode and connect to PC). Once done, just open a terminal and type "fastboot flash boot <boot image file name>.img" then do the same with IMG (as said in this page .
Hope it will help you !

Read this carefully, this will restore youre phone:
1*.)No matter what youve done with this phone it will be cleanly installed like its fresh new, cause i had couple of problems and this method worked
1.)Download the latest b396 firmware
2.)format youre SD card with basic settings via Windows ( if you have a usb stick to connect youre SD card to computer like i do, if you cant connect youre SD card to computer, use another smartphone and format youre SD card with basic settings)- simply talking just format youre SD card
3.)create --->>>dload<<<--- folder like i wrote down without the --->>><<<--- stuff on youre SD card
4.)paste the update.app file to the dload folder
5.)insert youre SD card to phone
6.)this is the moment of truth hold down volume + & - key and power key all in once until the emui logo appears WARNING: remove all keys after logo appearing WARNING: if the logo doesnt appear even after 30sec. keep still holding until the logo appears
***If you get somekind of error i can help, if it worked youre a lucky guy

How to unbrick a rooted smartphone with USB debugging off and blocked bootloader?

My smarthphone is a Doogee F7. I bought it two weeks ago, just to root and to study. In the last week I rooted it with Magisk, no problems. However in this morning I received a notification I had a Magisk Manager update available, so I updated it. I opened up the manager, and saw there was a newer version of Magisk available also, so I installed that (directly, recommended) after reboot came a softbrick:
"Orange State. Your devices has been unlocked and can't be trusted. Your devices will boot in 5 seconds" occurs infinitively.
So, the USB debugging in my phone was off (yeah, now I know that it must be on ) and the bootloader was blocked also.
I can access the "Android Recovery" screen. Therefore, I tried to "Wipe data/factory reset" and after reboot the system, but it didn't resolve. I tried also "Wipe cache partition" but it did nothing as well.
So on, at fastboot screen I tried to unlock with the command "fastboot oem unlock" but it was not possible:
"(bootloader) Start unlock flow
FAILED (remote: '
Unlock operation is not allowed
')
fastboot: error: Command failed"
I read about test point but my phone doesn't have screw, the cover is glued.
I tried to use ADB sideload as youtube video whose title is "How to Unbrick device using TWRP/CWM ADB sideload [HD]" , but my computer recognize my device as "MTB USB Device", and when I am updating the ADB interface is not recognize even I searching for.
My phone doesn't have TRWP installed, when I rooted I just run TRWP for install Magisk.
I tried to upload images here but I am a new member and I can not until I reach 10 posts.
So, I am wondering about my phone can be recovered. Please, if anyone can help me, I will be very grateful .
Edited: The rom is the original, the stock rom.
maybe this helps...
