[Completed] Rooting: "Security device, flash function is disabled: - XDA Assist

Steps taken:
Bought Zenfone 5 (A500_KL).
It comes with all sh**ty Asus apps, so I decided to upgrade to Android 5.0 (Lollipop) and Root (to remove all Asus sh*t later).
OS upgrade went fine.
I used official downloads (URL: asus. com / Phone / ZenFone_5_A500KL / HelpDesk_Download).

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
I'm sorry to hear about your trouble (locked bootloader?). We cannot provide technical support nor can other members reply to your posts here on XDA Assist and here is no forum specifically for the Zenfone 5 (A500_KL). at this time but you may want to ask your question with all relevant details in the friendly general Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help. That's a good place to start where members familiar with your device might be able to advise you. I also see a number of references to your model from a site search at http://forum.xda-developers.com/sitesearch.php?q=Zenfone 5 (A500_KL) which might be worth reviewing.
Good luck!

The story goes, I was trying to flash CM11S after trying out the Oneplus One Lollipop Alpha. Part way through the process the command line was waiting for the device to reboot into fastboot and it never did.

Now the device is entirely unresponsive aside from a vibration when I hold down the volume and power keys. Screen stays black too and my computer will not detect my device. The Device is recognized by MSM8974 Downloader as well, but every time I select it to repair it it fails. The device also happens to be recognized by QPST Configuration software.

Hello.
Same problem here. I just tried to reflash another roll since i was trying to rollback from Lollipop alpha. I did some changes in TWRP and after reboot my device did not start at all. There is only a vibration when I try to turn it on. Charging is also disabled. Screen is blank and unresponsive. Both recovery and bootloader dont work. I tried to turn my opo while connected to PC and I can hear that system found a new device. But there is no popup window, just the sound. Even after unplugging the sound can be heard.

Been there done that. Nothing came of it, hence my logs posted above. Also I wouldn't be posting about it if I had found a solution
of course I'm recognizing your status as a senior member but was just giving you something to try since the image from the ColorOS.zip seem to work for some people and it has the required drivers for the MSM8974 downloader. but, to help everyone learn something about what you've tried :
- what factory image were you trying to use with the MSM8974 downloader?
- Is your OPO 64GB or 16GB?
- Which driver's version are you using?
I have the same problem. I suspect it's due to the differences in the partition tables between the ROMs. For example, the logo.bin for the CM11S image is around 9MB, whereas it is 512KB in the OnePlus ROM.
Hope we can get this fixed.

Sorry if I came off harsh in my previous post. That was not my intention. As for senior member, it means nothing other than I have been here a while (around the block so to speak), and I am very glad your willing to offer assistance (we need more people like you in fact), I just was noting that the thread had stated logs from the source you had mentioned. Now to answer your questions (I'll post this in the OP as well):
- You can see in the logs posted above what is missing in my partitions and what partitions are missing in general.
- 64GB
- I have tried using the PDANet drivers, manually installed Oneplus One Drivers (from OPPO), ColorOS Drivers, and all the standard Google and Universal drivers. I will also note that I am on Windows 8.1 (Driver Signature Verification turned off).

Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Please standby while we have your thread/question moved to the appropriate sub-forum for your device.
For future reference you can find your specific device forum here (bookmark/subscribe this):
Moto G
Within that section you will find a dedicated q&a sub-forum (this is where your thread is going to be moved to):
Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Good luck!
You may have better luck if you unlock the bootloader.
The fastboot oem lock command isn't going to really help since your bootloader is already locked.
The line "(bootloader) Preflash validation failed" tells me the bootloader on your phone is newer than the bootloader your are trying to load or your are trying to load an incorrect bootloader onto your phone.
I haven't change any part of the Boot loader. I found a solution for this.
I used adb command to flash lollipop. Its working fine now.
Thanks for your valuable replay.
Sorry for the delay.

Don't lock the bootloader first ...flash stock formaware seperately and let the device boot(we can lock bootloader later)
5.0.2 is recommended
Thanks
I tried after unlocking the bootloader.
