Hello Friends,
At last I figured out how to unlock bootloader, root & flash TWRP recovery !!
To achieve the above you should have some basic knowledge of adb, fastboot & flashing.
The usual warning... Try the following on your own risk, don't blame me if your device is dead, burnt or you lose your job because your boss couldn't contact you on your dead cell phone :laugh:.
Lets Begin !!
1) Download & install ADB-setup and Qiku Download Assistant.
2) Go to bootloader, switch off your phone and press and hold volume up button while connecting usb cable. When you see bootloader press volume up again to enter fastboot mode.
3) Go to device manager and you should see “Android or unknown” with a yellow exclamation mark under “other device”. You have to manually install fastboot driver here, just google it how to do it. You to have
go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Qiku\adb and select QK_ANDROID_ADB to install drivers.
4) Unzip the firmwares zip files.
5) Now to unlock bootloader we have flash the following firmware 6.0.018.P2.160720.QK8692.CPD but we have to force close Qiku flashing tool when flashing is at 1-2%. To do that open task manager on your pc before flashing and end Qiku flashing when the flashing is 1-2%.
6) Disconnect phone from pc and reconnect while pressing & holding volume up if you see completely black display it means now you have unlocked bootloader. Always refer to the device manager in your pc if your device is in fastboot mode as you would not see anything on the device display once you flashed the above mentioned firmware.
7) Go to the folder where you have the TWRP custom recovery. While in the folder press shift and right click and select “open command prompt here” from the menu. Copy “fastboot -i 0x1EBF flash recovery Qiku-TWRP-recovery.img” without quotes and paste in the cmd and enter.
8) Once Qiku TWRP recovery is flashed successfully lets boot the same from bootloader. While in the folder press shift and right click and select “open command prompt here” from the menu. Copy “fastboot -i 0x1EBF boot Qiku-TWRP-recovery.img” without quotes. Your device should boot in TWRP recovery.
9) In the TWRP recovery on your phone go to advance and select adb sideload and start the same.
10) Go to the folder where you have the SuperSu.zip and open command prompt here. Copy “adb sideload UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.78-20160905010000.zip” paste in the cmd and enter, without quotes.
11) Now if you wish to lock bootloader again then select reboot option in the recovery and select bootloader. Go to the folder where you have the emmc_appsboot.mbn file and open command prompt here. Copy “fastboot -i 0x1EBF flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn” without quotes and paste in the cmd and enter. This will lock the bootloader and you can always unlock the bootloader by following above mentioned instructions.
13) Copy “fastboot -i 0x1EBF reboot” in cmd and enter. This should reboot you phone.
14) If everything went well you should see supersu app in the phone. You can also check by an app called root checker from play store if you have successfully rooted your device.
When you have the unlocked bootlader there would be no display when you're in fastboot mode hence you have to check in device manager to ensure that the device is fastboot mode. Plus while booting or rebooting there would not be any boot animation but only the boot sound. This is due to the unlock bootloader.

You can change the same in buid.prop once you're rooted however you would not just be able to flash and boot Andoird 6 Chinese firmware on your device. I have tried the same but it does not work.

Not at all if you ask me as I have been playing with my device for past 8 months or so. I did hard brick my device at several occasions but was always be able to recover it. During those hard brick the device goes into fastboot mode on it's own or one can press and hold power key & volume up to force the device to go into fastboot mode which it always does.
To recover the device from hard brick it needs to be in fastboot mode whether locked bootloader or unlocked bootloader. If the bootloader is locked then the official tool can flash the stock firmware and boom... The device will be Alive again. Incase of unlocked bootloader it's just the matter of flashing the firmware .imgs through fastboot mode:good: or if you've taken backup in TWRP then just boot TWRP and restore your device.
One warning though... Do not try to flash any other OEM's firmware as I am not sure what would be the outcome as I have only tried our device OEM's firmware. Yes can try porting other custom rom to our device as it only involves flashing system.

I would love to help you but I hard bricked my device about 2 days ago while playing with emmc_appsboot.mbn . As you know to recover the device we need rawprogarm0.xml, patch0.xml etc and the stock rom doesn't contain any of the said files.
Fortunately, I am in touch with another Qiku user and I have already written to him about your requirement. I have also requested to him to respond to you on the xda forum itself. Let's wait for his response.
Besides, I was wondering if you know any ways to get the rawprogram0.xml, patch0.xml etc from a working Qiku for recovering my hard bricked device?? or any other method which can help?. Can Qdart tool help in anyway??.
I have searched Qiku Chinese forum but unable to find the required files.
Any help would be much appreciated :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed: !!
Sure i ll send those files to you in a day or two!

You mean you had a device QK8692_M02 and you flashed QK8692_I02 and booted normally but when you tried to go back to your QK8692_M02 it hard bricked??
Well my friend I am afraid but now you need to reflash QK8692_I02 to use the device and you might not be able to go back to your Chinese OS now. There was a similar case where this gentleman from Russia did the same thing to his Chinese Qiku device and he was not able to go back to Chinese OS now. There is something with the QK8692_I02 OS I guess.
I was able to boot v109 of Chinese OS on my QK8692_I02 and the v109 rom & the instructions are there on the given download link. I was in process of being able to use Chinese OS on my QK8692_I02 when I hard bricked my device . Now I need emmc image of Qiku to unbrick it and then I can continue my research and might be able to give solutions to the issue.
Let me know if you could get me that emmc image it would be just 200-300 mb file and the same you can upload it on google drive.

Yes! You can use follow method:
1. Create a new APN
2. If you see on network icon is E not 3G that not support my EFS model(8692_m02) for you. So you can try a qcn file from same model.

Shared on telegram, thanks!
I'm not using qcn
not edl mode using
1. Flashing 7.8.23
2. 7.8.23 root ( patched_boot.img flashin using fastboot mode )
3. Usb diag mode on (dialler open trying or adb using su diag mode open )
4. Dualwriteimei using and restart phone aaaand booom imei restore (dualwriteimei is youtube searching only small size program and very very best )
5.Phone fastboot mode on and 8.1.10 rom flashing and booom
New telegram link:
https://t.me/joinchat/G1MMfkc6EbEZL-62Ii5YmA
thats not permanen, at last for me, maybe work on 7.8.23, but after update via ota or fastboot, after reboot or reset factory on setting imei unknow again
my solution right now, using custom rom, with august security and push modem file from latest stock rom for update baseband
It works, but if you want to update whole system, you have to backup partitions modemst1, modemst2 or EFS in TWRP, after you backup that, flash the new oreo firmware without data, if dont starts, recover the EFS and try again, if dont, do factory reset and if you haven't IMEI yet, restore de EFS, the problem here is, if you restart your EFS would be corrupted, so you have to restore the EFS and force update to the lastest update with EFS already installed, if youre lucky your EFS never be corrupted again
In my case everything is working fine
No issue upon updating or restoring
than so much raj bro 100% working method
I followed this procedure some time ago and haven't had issues. However today I flashed a new Oreo image and suddenly my IMEI was 0 again.
I restored my EFS partition using TWRP and now everything is fine again, except that my smallband version is back to 953_GEN_PACK-1.... which I think is the version that shipped with tissot_images_7.8.23_7.1. I wonder if it's a problem to run with an older smallband version?
Someone there who can help me fixing my IMEI? I have pushed the "flash_factory.bat"-button...
Mi A1 is working and rooted, no 30sec boot loop anymore, but QPST recognize my mobile just for secondes.
I'm holding my IMEIs in hand but unable to get them into QCN sinced days.
i was Restored persist.img via twrp terminal but my phone still restaring continously

Im sooo stupid kiddo :crying::crying::crying:
Bro my telegram @Byramklc add me
Sent from my Mi A1 using XDA Labs
While I did finally manage to restore my IMEI, I found your "guide" really confusing.
You should without a doubt write it better, so people might understand it better as well.
I've been doing custom Android stuff for around 10 years. While I have never developed anything, I have gotten as far as to the point to where I have had to edit files and input hex.
You should _really_ mention when and how you use the files you provided.
You should also provide the "how-to" on editing the files.
I finally got it to work, but I had to read three different guides before I got it.
Still.. Thanks
Can someone confirm that PSN and FSN will missing if using flash_factory ?? (FSN&PSN can be found on *#*#6484#*#* Version Information)
hello guys ,thanks for the guide, i've restored my imei but the mobile data network still wont work, what it can be?
EDIT: I've resolved by using a newer version of qpst software, the 2.7.472.4 one
I managed to get IMEI back wifi and bluetooth working but sim network lost.
Sent the mobile to service center and they changed the motherboard.
Is this the only solution.......
---------- Post added at 06:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 AM ----------
were you able to restore sim network as well???????
If yes pls write a complete guide with all the tools and files used
Since a lot of people flashed the wrong firmware (thanks to Asus for launching multiple devices under the same name ) on their Max, I've come across multiple threads here regarding Hardbricke and Qualcomm QD-loader 9008 state. I too have been a victim of the same issue and my phone was dead for around a year, before managing to get it to work again. I'm going to list out the procedure and relevant links here.
ps: I've tested this method on my Z010DD device. This should work with Z010D devices as well.
1. Download and install QPST from the link given https://androidmtk.com/download-qpst-flash-tool
2. Install Qualcomm drivers from here https://gsmusbdrivers.com/download/android-qualcomm-usb-driver/
3. Download the QFIL, QCN and RAW firmware for your device (Snapdragon 410 - MSM8916 and Snapdragon 615 - MSM8939) from here https://www.firmware27.com/2017/10/asus-zenfone-max-z010d-zc550kl-firmware.html and unzip both of them in separate directories
4. Open QFIL from the start menu and connect you dead phone to PC (Make sure your phone is detected as Qualcomm QD-Loader 9008. If not, uninstall Qualcomm drivers, reboot PC, reinstall and try again until you succeed)
5. Select 'Flat build' as Build type. Select prog_emmc_firehose_8936.mbn (or prog_emmc_firehose_8939.mbn) from the QFIL firmware directory as 'Programmer path'. Click on 'Load XML' and select 'rawprogram0.xml' and 'patch0.xml'.
6. Click on download and wait for the flashing process to complete ( takes some time. If you encounter sahara fail error, the uninstall and reinstall driers as stated in step 4)
7. Phone will reboot to service firmware (which is aosp and in chinese). Enable usb debugging and rebot to bootloader
8. Flash TWRP for your device and flash magisk
9. Reboot to fastboot and flash the files NON-HLOS.bin and NON-HLOS_IN.bin from your stock rom zip(available on Asus official Website) using command
Code:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS_IN
10. Reboot to system and add your original imei using the tool here https://drive.google.com/open?id=1OBAp69EA4KGHdYXA5DrwMLCIuAqNYMu4
11. Reboot phone and reset your serial number as instructed below
Code:
You need to root your phone and download Terminal Emulator and type the following command:-
1. su
2. dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/factorybak of=/sdcard/factory
Wait a sec...
3. dd if=/sdcard/factory of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/factory
reboot
12. Verify serial number and IMEI are present in your device. If yes, open QFIL->Tools->QCN backup restore. Select the QCN file for your device downloaded in step 3 and restore.
13. The device should reboot. If it fails, try restoring again (took me 8 tries).
14. Your phone should be getting network signals now. If now, try QCN restore again
15. Flash RAW firmware for your device
16. Boot to stock rom, setup everything and verify if you are getting signal. If yes, congratulations:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
If any step so far failed and nothing is working for you, then you can revert to QD-Loader 9008 mode by using code
Code:
adb reboot edl
and start over from beginning
Nb: If you are not able to unlock bootloader after getting everything else working, verify if your serial number is present. It is the main reason unlocking is not working

buddy the link to the firmware file that u have given is not working. I have tried downloading it on multiple occasions but till today i haven't been able to download either of the files. Kindly if u can provide me any other link to these file from where i can download them it would be of a lot of help. My phone is dead from pas t 7 days and have been trying to revive it but to no success. Kindly help please.
Hey Man. I'm currently working on my phone. I already tried removing the battery but I'm still getting the error:
Download Fail: Switch to EDL Fail.
hopes are going narrow. Now I don't know what to do.
Restore to normal mode from factory mode.
Thanks a lot for the detailed procedure. Restored my phone back to start. However my phone is stuck on factory mode and i'm unable to restore it back to normal mode. Also tried the Exit factory mode file given in the link of firmware download section. However whenver i try to write it with the help of QIFL it says sahara fail error and my phone's stuck in factory mode still. And also haven't been able to receive any network signal in the phone after inserting sim in the phone. Kindly help.

Since a lot of people flashed the wrong firmware (thanks to Asus for launching multiple devices under the same name ) on their Max, I've come across multiple threads here regarding Hardbricke and Qualcomm QD-loader 9008 state. I too have been a victim of the same issue and my phone was dead for around a year, before managing to get it to work again. I'm going to list out the procedure and relevant links here.
ps: I've tested this method on my Z010DD device. This should work with Z010D devices as well.
1. Download and install QPST from the link given https://androidmtk.com/download-qpst-flash-tool
2. Install Qualcomm drivers from here https://gsmusbdrivers.com/download/android-qualcomm-usb-driver/
3. Download the QFIL, QCN and RAW firmware for your device (Snapdragon 410 - MSM8916 and Snapdragon 615 - MSM8939) from here https://www.firmware27.com/2017/10/asus-zenfone-max-z010d-zc550kl-firmware.html and unzip both of them in separate directories
4. Open QFIL from the start menu and connect you dead phone to PC (Make sure your phone is detected as Qualcomm QD-Loader 9008. If not, uninstall Qualcomm drivers, reboot PC, reinstall and try again until you succeed)
5. Select 'Flat build' as Build type. Select prog_emmc_firehose_8936.mbn (or prog_emmc_firehose_8939.mbn) from the QFIL firmware directory as 'Programmer path'. Click on 'Load XML' and select 'rawprogram0.xml' and 'patch0.xml'.
6. Click on download and wait for the flashing process to complete ( takes some time. If you encounter sahara fail error, the uninstall and reinstall driers as stated in step 4)
7. Phone will reboot to service firmware (which is aosp and in chinese). Enable usb debugging and rebot to bootloader
8. Flash TWRP for your device and flash magisk
9. Reboot to fastboot and flash the files NON-HLOS.bin and NON-HLOS_IN.bin from your stock rom zip(available on Asus official Website) using command
Code:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS_IN
10. Reboot to system and add your original imei using the tool here https://drive.google.com/open?id=1OBAp69EA4KGHdYXA5DrwMLCIuAqNYMu4
11. Reboot phone and reset your serial number as instructed below
Code:
You need to root your phone and download Terminal Emulator and type the following command:-
1. su
2. dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/factorybak of=/sdcard/factory
Wait a sec...
3. dd if=/sdcard/factory of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/factory
reboot
12. Verify serial number and IMEI are present in your device. If yes, open QFIL->Tools->QCN backup restore. Select the QCN file for your device downloaded in step 3 and restore.
13. The device should reboot. If it fails, try restoring again (took me 8 tries).
14. Your phone should be getting network signals now. If now, try QCN restore again
15. Flash RAW firmware for your device
16. Boot to stock rom, setup everything and verify if you are getting signal. If yes, congratulations:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
If any step so far failed and nothing is working for you, then you can revert to QD-Loader 9008 mode by using code

There is a tool which is used to switch from factory mode to normal mode. But QCN should be flashed and serial number should be restored before switching to normal mode. QCN restore is hard but it'll work in a few tries. Uninstall drivers and QFIL and retry. That's the only solution I can recommend

Hy guys!!! I have the 410 version but my windows won't detect Qualcomm QD-loader 9008 it detects it like Qualcomm QD-loader 9006.
Is there a way to fix this?

Kindly please help me and give your telegram id
EDIT: I attached a zip with AIDA64's reports for this phone. One report has Magisk hidden from AIDA64, the other doesn't.
This mostly a copy of _cab13_'s Rooting the UMI F2 post as the same instructions for rooting that phone are how I rooted the S5 Pro. So please give _cab13_ thanks here if this helped you root your phone. I'll take a thanks for removing the orange state warning if I helped you with that
Please be patient when posting questions, I will get back to you as quickly as I can. I just have many responsibilities which take up a great deal of my time.
Rooting the S5 Pro
Disclaimers
This is important, please read thoughtfully.
whatever you do, NEVER EVER use SP Flash Tool in "Format All+Download" mode. This will wipe your IMEI['s]s and some other bad stuff will happen like loss of fingerprint sensor. This cannot be reversed by us.
Once bootloader is unlocked, warranty is considered void. By following this guide, you consent to that happening. Safety net CTS will not pass anymore unless you flash Magisk which hides the unlocked bootloader.
Never re-lock your bootloader while running anything unofficial as the phone will not boot until you unlock again.
And, once again, a lot of bad things can happen like boot loops, if that happens to you, don't freak out! Simply re-flash the stock ROM, redoing the rooting process from the start. It might be time consuming, but that's your safest bet!
More important even, have fun rooting, it's before all a hobby!

Unlocking Bootloader
ATTENTION!! After unlocking the bootloader, all user data in the phone's memory will be lost, so do not forget to throw all the most important things on your computer or flash drive!
1) Activate "Developer options" through Settings > About Phone > Tap Build Number multiple times.
2) Open "Developer options" in Settings > System > Tap Advanced.
Enable "OEM Unlocking" and enter your password to confirm. Enable "USB Debugging" as well.
3) On Windows, download and install Minimal ADB and Fastboot by shimp208
On Linux, use your package manager to install android-tools-adb and android-tools-fastboot
4) Open command prompt (Win + R > type cmd) or a terminal on linux.
5) Plug your phone, accept the prompt about adb and the PC signature.
6) Type adb reboot bootloader to reboot in fastboot mode. Unplug your cable from your phone
and replug it after fastboot is printed at the bottom of the screen.
THESE NEXT TWO STEPS WILL COMPLETELY WIPE YOUR DATA
7) Unlock the bootloader using fastboot flashing unlock and pressing Vol+
8) Unlock the secure partitions using fastboot flashing unlock_critical and pressing Vol+
9) Restart using fastboot reboot
You will now always see "Orange State" at boot; this is completely fine and will only delay your boot by 5 seconds.
Rooting using Magisk patched boot.img
This is "experimental" and is probably overkill, but everyone managed to install Magisk with it.
1) Clean install UMIDIGI_S5Pro_20200702.V3.02 (or the European one) with SPFT by selecting the scatter file, pressing download an rebooting the phone
(Make sure it is in "Download Mode" and not "Format + Download")
2) Patch boot.img by copying it to your device, using Magisk Manager to patch it, and get back the magisk_patched.img in the Download folder back to your PC.
3) Start ADB while booted; run adb reboot bootloader. Alternative is to reboot to recovery and selecting "reboot to bootloader"
4) unlock if not already done with fastboot flashing unlock followed by fastboot flashing unlock_critical
5) In the following code, the vbmeta.img and the recovery.img are the stock files from the ROM you downloaded and extracted.
Code:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash boot magisk_patched.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot reboot
When rebooting, install Magisk Manager. It will prompt to finalize the installation, you can do so.
Congratulations ! You are now a proud Magisk user ! All credits goes to @topjohnwu he's the real MVP here.
Returning to stock / Resolving issues
The best way to resolve any issue is to return to stock. Here is the method.
1) Download latest stock ROM on UMIDIGI's forums
2) Download SP Flash Tool if you don't have it yet (Windows only)
3) Extract stock ROM in SP Flash Tool directory. Refer to Flash Tool guide if needed.
4) Open SP Flash Tool, Download Tab, "Choose" in Scatter-loading file, select the scatter file in the stock ROM directory.
5) If you want to keep your data, untick "userdata" partition. MAKE SURE FORMAT IS NOT SELECTED!
6) Press Download and connect your device via USB. Reboot the phone or turn it off and everything will be flashed.
7) If you want a full stock experience, I recommend relocking the bootloader so that SafetyNet will pass. Get into fastboot mode by using adb reboot bootloader and use fastboot flashing lock_critical followed by fastboot flashing lock. This will wipe your data once more.
You should be good to go.
ONE LAST THING
Get rid of your orange state warning.
Download the attached zip file and extract.
Put your phone into fastboot and:
Code:
fastboot erase lk
fastboot erase lk2
fastboot flash lk lk_patched.img
fastboot flash lk2 lk_patched.img
fastboot reboot
No more orange state warning! Reflash the stock lk before unrooting, though.
ATTACHED LK FILE IS FOR UMIDIGI S5 Pro ONLY.
Thank you for re-posting this as an option to root the S5. I did get stuck on flashing the recovery. I have tried a few times and every time it just flashes orange , restarts and loads normally. I have verified root.
i have used the recovery found here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-rooting-umidigi-s5-pro-magisk-t4151183
I have no success installing TWRP. Do you know if twrp has a recovery that will work?
Hey guys it's me again !
Got some good news : I bought a S5 Pro as well
And I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT !
I might get into rooting it soon, idk.

No luck for me finding a custom recovery (twrp or anything else.)
If you have any exp with them, see if you can make the F2's (found in the F2 root thread) work. It SHOULD only need a minumum of tweaking, just to account for the (afaik) slight soc differences. i'm not gonna hold my breath. there seems to be a void when it comes to enthusiasm for this phone. by my serial no, i have the 4832nd phone manufactured. compared to serials ranging from 22000- 189000 for my other umis (f1play, s3pro, f2, power3)
I think I'll try making TWRP soon for it.
The F2 TWRP would not be usable this easily, it's easier to start fresh.
If anyone wants to try, download the sources for the F2 TWRP on my GitHub, then you need to extract the stock kernel and replace the F2's with the S5pro's

hello folks,
This message is not about rooting s5 but rather about downgrading. I posted on the umidigi forum but have not received an answer. So the problem is the new OTA update that they pushed out yesterday. After update I lost 4G connectivity and i am unable to restore it. I want to roll back to the previous update. They have the roms available on the forum and I downloaded one but what I am not sure is can I use SP flash tool to just download the older ROM version on top of the new one?
I see lots of manuals on how to update but how do I safely downgrade?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Do a "download only" flash of the "super", " vbmeta_system", and "vbmeta_vendor" partitions only (uncheck all other partitions) from the previous ROM. That should do it.

There is a new update firmware please make a rooting tutorial on youtube.,
Somebody made a custom TWRP and posted it on here. So if that'll help anyone out and get them to make a tutorial video, that be great. 'Cause I'm reading this over and over again, and I think I can do it, but I'm being very hesitant about it. And it's getting me all frustrated. I had it on "Flash Mode". And when I continued typing it out, it didn't go through and that had me on a raging panic attack. Luckily, it didn't mess up. But now I'm more hesitant. Please make a quick tutorial, doesn't even have to be perfect...

I am able to get FastBoot Mode on my screen (through step 6). I plug the phone back in per directions & I hear the Windows device connected chime.
I type: fastboot flashing unlock in the same cmd window
and I get "<waiting for any device>" in the cmd window and it hangs.
Every few seconds I hear the Windows device disconnected noise, but no device connect chime. This lasts indefinitely.
I repeated step 7 several times with variations with the Vol+ button: pressing first, holding down while pressing enter in cmd window, pushing afterward, holding down afterward, etc. Same results as described above.
Any help available? Should I not unplug my phone from the PC? The F2 directions did not require that.
thanks!
Success is disgusted by some people, and will not share any files for free in the future.

These materials can only be used for ROG Phone 5S_ZS676KS, and ROG Phone 5_ZS673KS cannot be used. I will release the materials for ROG 5 separately.
If your ROG Phone 5S ZS676KS only has edl mode (port 9008), then this tool can help you repair your phone through edl mode.
Or if you want to modify COUNTRY, flash the firmware of WW, you don't need to apply to unlock the Bootloader,
you don't need ROOT, just follow me.
1.Connect the phone to the computer through the USB port on the left, enter the fastboot mode,
and then open "Reboot-to-edl.bat" to enter the edl mode. Or enter fastboot oem enter-dload in cmd.
2.You must flash in the ENG firmware that I modified. If you find the firmware online,
you may lose your fingerprint and IMEI after flashing.
Method 1: The phone enters edl mode, and when you see port 9008 in the device manager,
open the ENG folder--open "0-update_image_EDL.bat"
Method 2: The phone enters edl mode, and after you see port 9008 in the device manager, use the XiaoMiFlash tool to flash in.
Method 3: The phone enters edl mode, and after you see port 9008 in the device manager,flash in through the QPST tool.
3.After flashing in the firmware and successfully booting up, be sure to back up your phone partition files. If your phone's fingerprint is lost or IMEI is lost,
it can be restored to normal. If you don't have a backup, it will be very troublesome.
Double-click to open "Backup.bat", it will automatically back up your phone partition files, you need to save these files, follow-up will definitely help you.
Include these 10 files：“persist.img factory.img modemst1 modemst2 asuskey4 fsg fsgCA fsc fsgCA2 fsgCA3”
Normally, you don’t need to restore these files. If your fingerprint or imei is lost and you need to restore these files to your phone,
please flash the ENG firmware, then put these 10 files into the ROG 5S folder, and double-click to open " Restore.bat" can be restored to your phone.
4.If your machine is an global version, after backing up and saving 10 files, directly enter the fastboot mode, open the WW folder-open "flash_raw_and_wipe_data.cmd" to flash the WW firmware, and successfully repair your ROG 5S.
If your machine is the CN version, and you want to flash into the WW Firmware, but don’t want to unlock the BootLoader, you can use WinHex to open the persist.img you just backed up,
find COUNTRY, change CN to WW and save it, and you can directly restore it to your phone through the dd command Inside, there is no need to unlock or install magisk.
Double click to open"Open-Cmd.bat",Then enter the commands one by one
adb push persist.img /sdcard/
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/persist.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist
Then enter the fastboot mode, open the WW folder-open "flash_raw_and_wipe_data.cmd" to flash the WW firmware.
File Downlaod Link：https://drive.google.com/file/d/10kp_87NukXt1XnTJ819I3Y0lH7vIB5T2/view?usp=sharing
YouTube:
I have also studied Hardwaresub Services for a long time, ROG1/ROG2/ROG3 only need to modify COUNTRY, CN to WW, and then flash into the global version,
there will be no such prompt. In addition to modifying COUNTRY, ROG 5 also needs to modify asuskey4.
In this partition, clear the imei, then there is no prompt. But I can’t do anything with ROG 5S.
This machine verifies modemst1 and modemst2. I tried it for a long time, but I couldn’t get rid of the prompt except for the whitelist.
If your ROG3/ROG5/ROG5S is the CN version, but you have flashed the WW firmware, you cannot unlock the Bootloader, or you are prompted to unlock successfully, but the Bootloader is still not unlocked after restarting, you can write the correct SSN and ISN of the phone Go to asuskey4, then restore to the phone partition, and then use the official unlocking tool to unlock it.

All of us, unfortunate owners of the tencent relocked ROG5, would be grateful if you could elaborate the following bits-
- Writing down SSN & ISN
- Going to asuskey4
- Restoring phone partition
Much appreciate your contribution here pal!
Can you share the WinHex version you're using?

Wrong fastboot. Reboot to the bootloader, not fastbootd
I am having some issues getting it to work.
I currently have it bricked to the point of only showing up as a Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 port .
I keep getting a sahara error after the program tries to run the firehose program.
Can you please help me with this problem.
Thank you.
So I managed to download the program via the 0_update_image_edl.bat file with my phone in EDL mode. However, my phone restarted and it is stuck on the republic of gamers logo.
I wonder why it isn't working. Is there something I am missing or does it take a long while to actually load everything during the first reboot after installation?
Edit:
It was my specific phone acting up and nothing to do with your firmware. I am not sure why I had to keep switching between the bottom and side port to get it to work but I eventually got my phone working using the files you provided. Thank you so much for these files, if not for you, my phone would still be bricked.
It seems like I am always finding something new, even when I have access to my phone now.
My storage is only 64 gb out of the 256 gb it normally has. Any idea how to fix this issue?
Edit, found the fix.
Step 1. I had to ensure that I made a back up of the 10 files stated in the instructions. This is important as not having these files will probably brick a phone.
Step 2. I deleted the extra partitions by setting the "erase all before download" and "reset after download" under "configuration" in the qfil app. Then I did the installation process using qfil.
It did not install correctly, but it was not the point of the process, the point was to delete all hidden partitions.
This deletes the 10 files from the phone as well (I think) and this is why the 10 files are important.
Step 3. I put my phone into edl mode via the reboot to edl .bat file you provided.
Step 4. I used the 0-update_image_edl.bat file to do the first part of the firmware installation process.
It rebooted and showed the page of the phones information. I thought this meant it kept all it's information, but this is a lie.
Step 5. At this point I placed all 10 files in the same folder as the restore.bat file
Step 6. I pressed the restore.bat file and it installed the 10 files.
Step 7. I then proceeded to do the second part of the installation by pressing the "flash_raw_and_wipe_data" file under "ww"
This installed the firmware and rebooted my phone. Now I have all my storage back.
//////////////////////////////
Note:
If the process above doesn't work for someone else. The thing that might have fix my phone could have been changing the setting in the "partition setting" under "configuration" in the "qfil app" that actually deleted the other partitions.
I think I set "customize physical partition" and "active partition number" to 1.
I did this right after saving my 10 files and before using the qfil app to attempt to install the first part of the firmware installation to my phone. This process would replace step 2. on this post.

I had something similar happen.
Does the computer register it as a device that can be seen or connected? If it DOES NOT CONNECT TO THE PC AT ALL, let it sit on the android logo while it is connected to the computer. In about 15 to 20 minutes it should reboot into a recovery mode like state and the PC will pick it up, something that didn't work when you attempted to use the androids power and volume buttons. It should say a few things and have about 2 options that say
1. delete files
2. reattempt
DO NOT SELECT ANY OF THOSE OPTIONS!!!
Instead, keep the phone plugged in and do not turn off the phone. Place it back into edl mode using adb or the "Reboot-to-edl.bat" file and attempt to reinstall the first portion of the firmware using the "0-update_image_EDL.bat" file.
(Note: You might need to mess with the device manager settings on your PC for the phone. The phone needs to have the ADB Driver to reboot to edl. After your phone gets into EDL mode, you may need to then set your phone to run with the qualcomm driver on your PC's device manager setting to allow you update the image edl. )
then after that fully installs, go to the next step which is the backing up the 10 files. This is the "Backup.bat" file.
This is important. If you fail to do this, you could end up bricking your phone as installing new firmware has a possibility of deleting your phones identity "IEMI" and without this info, your phone will not work. Make sure you keep this file even after you fully installed your software.
After downloading those 10 files. Go to the next step which is. pressing the "flash_raw_and_wipe_data.cmd" file in the WW folder.
(NOTE:
If this doesn't work, it probably means the IEMI information was deleted. Do not pay attention to what is shown on the android screen itself, the battery life and all the info on the screen is incorrect!! It might say something like you have 6000 mah of battery when in actuality you have 5 mah of battery. You will probably have to redo the installation and press the " Restore.bat" file after fully installing using the "0-update_image_EDL.bat" file. If you already have the 10 files, you do not have to resave the 10 files, as you already have them all.
In order to use the restore bat file. All 10 files have to be in the same folder as the "restore.bat" file, prior to pressing the "restore.bat" file.)

One of the languages for the ROG 5s WW version is Deutsch (Deutschland) or what we normally call german in the US.
There seems to be other forms of Deutsch as well. When initiating the phone, select Duetsch (Deutschland) to run it in the German language or go to settings - accessibility - Language - Duetsch (Duetschland)

The original post on this thread talks about the process of installing WW on a china phone. I recommend following the video that Johnny posted in his original post.

These materials can only be used for ROG Phone 5S_ZS676KS, and ROG Phone 5_ZS673KS cannot be used. I will release the materials for ROG 5 separately.
ROG Phone 5 ZS673KS Please see here:https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ootloader-to-modify-country-cn-to-ww.4353865/
If your ROG Phone 5S ZS676KS only has edl mode (port 9008), then this tool can help you repair your phone through edl mode.
Or if you want to modify COUNTRY, flash the firmware of WW, you don't need to apply to unlock the Bootloader,
you don't need ROOT, just follow me.
1.Connect the phone to the computer through the USB port on the left, enter the fastboot mode,
and then open "Reboot-to-edl.bat" to enter the edl mode. Or enter fastboot oem enter-dload in cmd.
2.You must flash in the ENG firmware that I modified. If you find the firmware online,
you may lose your fingerprint and IMEI after flashing.
Method 1: The phone enters edl mode, and when you see port 9008 in the device manager,
open the ENG folder--open "0-update_image_EDL.bat"
Method 2: The phone enters edl mode, and after you see port 9008 in the device manager, use the XiaoMiFlash tool to flash in.
Method 3: The phone enters edl mode, and after you see port 9008 in the device manager,flash in through the QPST tool.
3.After flashing in the firmware and successfully booting up, be sure to back up your phone partition files. If your phone's fingerprint is lost or IMEI is lost,
it can be restored to normal. If you don't have a backup, it will be very troublesome.
Double-click to open "Backup.bat", it will automatically back up your phone partition files, you need to save these files, follow-up will definitely help you.
Include these 10 files：“persist.img factory.img modemst1 modemst2 asuskey4 fsg fsgCA fsc fsgCA2 fsgCA3”
Normally, you don’t need to restore these files. If your fingerprint or imei is lost and you need to restore these files to your phone,
please flash the ENG firmware, then put these 10 files into the ROG 5S folder, and double-click to open " Restore.bat" can be restored to your phone.
4.If your machine is an global version, after backing up and saving 10 files, directly enter the fastboot mode, open the WW folder-open "flash_raw_and_wipe_data.cmd" to flash the WW firmware, and successfully repair your ROG 5S.
If you cannot flash the firmware in fastboot mode, the prompt: fastboot error CID () Mapping wrong Xrom!
You can Double click to open"Open-Cmd.bat",Then enter the commands, enter fastboot -v flash all xx.raw
xx.raw is the firmware on your computer, for example: fastboot -v flash all C:\Users\johnny\Desktop\ROG5\WW\WW_ZS673KS_18.0810.2101.95_M2.13.24.9-ASUS_1.1.46_Phone-user.raw
ASUS:
version display asus fastboot version and list support project.
-v flash all : disable asus raw id checking.
-g flash all : disable repartition.
-C flash all : disable CRC_<partition>.
If your machine is the CN version, and you want to flash into the WW Firmware, but don’t want to unlock the BootLoader, you can use WinHex to open the persist.img you just backed up,
find COUNTRY, change CN to WW and save it, and you can directly restore it to your phone through the dd command Inside, there is no need to unlock or install magisk.
Double click to open"Open-Cmd.bat",Then enter the commands one by one
adb push persist.img /sdcard/
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/persist.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/persist
Then enter the fastboot mode, open the WW folder-open "flash_raw_and_wipe_data.cmd" to flash the WW firmware.

I have also studied Hardwaresub Services for a long time, ROG1/ROG2/ROG3 only need to modify COUNTRY, CN to WW, and then flash into the global version,
there will be no such prompt. In addition to modifying COUNTRY, ROG 5 also needs to modify asuskey4.
In this partition, clear the imei, then there is no prompt. But I can’t do anything with ROG 5S.
This machine verifies modemst1 and modemst2. I tried it for a long time, but I couldn’t get rid of the prompt except for the whitelist.
If your ROG3/ROG5/ROG5S is the CN version, but you have flashed the WW firmware, you cannot unlock the Bootloader, or you are prompted to unlock successfully, but the Bootloader is still not unlocked after restarting, you can write the correct SSN and ISN of the phone Go to asuskey4, then restore to the phone partition, and then use the official unlocking tool to unlock it.
