Hello Guys,
I hard bricked my Zenfone 5 ( A501CG ) while trying to flash CM 12.1 . hard bricked in the sense that my droidboot/fastboot got corrupted and I am stuck at Asus/intel logo when trying to enter droidboot ( using power + volume up),it is not proceeding further from there.
Now if you ask me, what all I have tried to recover my phone,I would say almost every thing posted on the internet ( so please don't ask me to try different button combinations to enter droidboot or any unbrick method using fastboot ).
There's only one way to recover my phone and that is to use xFstk/manufacturing flash tool/intel phone flash tool lite, all are similar and flash firmware,fastboot and android image into intel chipsets based phones.
They require files Fw DNX,ifwi,OS Dnx and OS Image to flash fastboot into your phone. I have got all these file downloaded from links posted in other threads but they are not working with Zenfone 5 (A501CG). My phone flash tool is going in loop while flashing ifwi after giving info " Firmware download completed. Continuing to OS..." (plz check attached log file and screenshot ).
Ok,So I tried flashing lenovo K900's ( also has intel coloverview chipset) Fw DNX,ifwi,OS Dnx and OS Image files and it got succeeded , but obviously it didn't work because these files doesn't belong to ASUS Zenfone 5 chipset.
Guys, I am desperately in need of files Fw DNX, ifwi,OS Dnx and OS image which are meant to be used with Zenfone 5 ( A501CG T00J) , I have already tried all the files which comes in asus official ROM which are inside ifwi.zip but they didn't work.
Senior members plz help.......I will be very grateful to you guys,if the I can recover my phone.:angel::angel::angel:
Thanks
Thanks for quick reply, as the files which I downloaded where not working so I tried to flash firmware files of lenovo K900 :crying::crying:
yes my pc see the device every thing is working fine, after "Firmware download completed. Continuing to OS..." the flashtool is going in loop,no downloading of OS.
My bootloader is corrupted and I can't enter into it.
country :India
WW version
plz reply asap

HI EVERY BODY
this is quite challenging , given the various tread on unbricking
this phone MMX Canvas 4 A210, in process of imei solution ( which could not be installed via engineering mode) and in process of changing rom, flashed mistakenly by formating bootloader in sp tool ( phone no longer recognized by PC or go into recovery, on pressing power ...no action))
checked all treads on xda but none say about this situation???, is totally baked ( hard bricked or what?? )
ANY EXPERTS SOLUTION or people in the same situation, if then how did you get out of this????

Hi everybody;
I'm having big problems with a Lenovo S6000L tablet which became a brick for a while and came to (half) life again because I can get into recovery or fastboot but it won't turn on again further than that after a factory reset. I used SP Flash Tool with (stock, I suppose) rom "S6000_A442_001_025_131017_ww_wifi" which takes me to a "Please button to set the Country Code" again and again to select the Country option but afterwards it will show a time "Timeout Failed".
Before it went wrong I had made a backup of the previous rom using Clockworkmod and the problem is that, after the factory reset, I have lost that CWM recovery and can´t install CWM back again from the rom backup which was ok because SP Flash Tool doesn't seem to install it. Installing CWM would solve my problem but I am scared about flashing the wrong files and get a brick again. Of course , part of the problem is that I can't use MTK Droid Tools to install CWM because apparently Debugging is off and MTK DT doesn't recognize the tablet when connected, which SP Flash Tool does.
So could anybody, please, give a hand to make this half-brick work again?
Thank you.

Hey, guys good afternoon. I have a Cubot Note S which I manage quite stupidly, to brick. The phone was rooted with KingRoot and I accidentally press to update to the latest software version from the Update Center of the phone and before it managed to complete, it showed an "ERROR" message. After that, I stuck into a boot loop. I've been searching the internet for a stock firmware of the phone in a .zip file because the Cubot has something like a stock Recovery mode, which I can boot to, to factory reset my phone, to boot into bootloader or apply an update through an sdcard etc. So far I only found a rom on needrom and it is in .rar and has many other irrelevant files in it. It has instructions below how to perform a clean flash of the ROM, but something goes wrong at the process. Either the SP-DMT (Flash Tool) doesn't work properly or my computer doesn't recognize my phone and I can't find the proper drivers for it. Has anyone ever been in this situation before with a chinese phone? Please help out with this because the cell phone belongs to a dear friend of mine and I can't afford to buy a new one these days. Thank you in advance.

Hello everyone!
I accquired this phone froma chinese online shop (the third one) and i want to change the chinese rom to euro firmware.
The problem resides in that when i changed the rom following the instructions of this forum in the other 2 previous phones i got it was everything alright and worked correctly, but with this last one i can't even make miflash/qlifil recognise Qualcom Com port. Now i only get at miflash the phone recognised with this weird name: b65bc2d5 . I'm affraid to try flashing because i didn't see anyone who got that name on the program and i don't want to get a brick. Also i tried to change the rom by sdcard with fastboot using the same file i used to install the other 2 phone that worked but it still says that the phone is Z90-7 and it wont take the installation file ( it's the second file on boycracked stock official lenovo vibe shot rom page). The thing is that when you upgrade to eu rom the phone model changes to Z90a40 and takes that rom, but not this last one.
I installed all the drivers manually because the phone on vendor mode can't install them itself (vol up + power button and then plug to the pc).
The version of chinese rom is android 6.0.1.
I hope this info will make someone know the solution because i don't.
Thanks and regards.
P.D: Now i'm triying to plug and detect but can't even do miflash detects it.
