Hello, I flashed this phone from CN to WW using the `flashall_AFT.cmd` script. It worked fine except the battery indicator at the top would stay pinned at 100%. I ignored this and eventually let the phone die the next day while playing games on it. After that, the phone has been semi-bricked.
The phone does not turn on at all unless it is plugged into the charger.
If I plug the charger into the bottom port on the phone:
1. Android logo flashes for .2 seconds
2. Phone shuts off for 5 seconds
3. Steps 1-2 repeat until I unplug it again
If I plugin the charger to the side port on the phone:
1 The green charging circle with the lighting bolt shows up for a few seconds
2. It changes to the main boot screen
3. Phone shuts off for 5 seconds
5. Steps 1-3 will repeat until I unplug it again
I can still boot the phone into fastboot mode when it is charging from the side port. I used this to re-flash the phone using the `flashall_AFT.cmd` script again, but that did not solve the boot loop problem. What else can I try now to get the phone working again?
Update: I tried to flash it one more time using `flashall_AFT.cmd` with the 1.1.92 WW raw image. It completely froze while on `Sending sparse 'super' 6/14`. The phone no longer boots at all and does not connect to my computer. I just see a solid red light at the top of the screen when it is plugged in. If I hold both volume buttons and the power button all at the same time for about 10 seconds, the red light will briefly turn off, but that is all I can make the phone do at this point.
you'll probably need to use a 9008 rescue tool to have any chance at saving it at this point.... I'd say just sent it back to ASUS for a RMA to see if they'll do it for you

My phone is rooted with stock rom. The only changes are listed below
Froze bloat that was safe
changed bootanimation to stock samsung
replaced some apps with inverted versions of themselves (ex. google +, stock messaging)
Here goes:
I was using navigation and I noticed that my phone was off after I had finished. Nothing worked at all, I could not boot into recovery or download. I connected the phone to a charger and red led flashes and an empty battery appears. The battery was full. I could reboot the phone while on the charger, but it would shut off as soon as it got to the homescreen. While off, If I pressed the home button, the green battery would appear as if it were charging. From here I could boot into recovery and download mode. The phone will only boot into these modes while connected to the charger. Here is where it went bad. I attempted to restore a backup while the phone was on the car charger and my car charger got pulled out in the middle of a restore. No charger meant that the phone shut off mid restore. Now, when I plug in the phone, the red led appears and the empty battery with a circle inside appears and then goes away. This repeats itself over and over and the phone buzzes when the empty battery reappears. I can still boot into download mode but not recovery. If I try to flash the stock samsung rom via odin, it says that it passes, however upon automatic reboot the samsung appears and nothing else. After the samsung appears the phone just continues to buzz every 5 seconds or so as if it is trying to do something. Could it be a bootloop? I have done a ton of searching here and now I am resorting to help! Your time is appreciated and beers on me if you can help me get my phone back to normal.
What Rom/kernel were you using before this happened? If custom, which one?
I have another thread a few posts down with the same topic. I am going to delete this one. I was stock rom and kernel. For some reason the phone will not recognize the battery. I tried a new one at verizon and the same thing. I can now boot into both recovery and download mode when connected to the charger , but the phone shuts off as soon as it boots and shows an empty battery with a circle in the middle. Sometimes it does not make it through the verizon boot animation and sometimes it makes it all the way to the homescreen and I can make a few selections before it turns off. After flashing the stock kernel and rom in odin I believe i am completely stock, however I do not want to chance sending the phone into Verizon. I believe that I saw a thread before this happened to me talking about having to calibrate the battery in some way and it had an item to flash in order to fix the problem. I can not find it now. Any ideas? Now that I can access recovery is there anything else that can be done? Why won't the phone recognize that it has a battery? As soon as I pull it off the charger it shuts off. When it is on the charger it appears to be charging and the green in the battery appears to be at about 80% but the level does not move up or down at all. Thank you for your help ahead of time.
Ok, my phone was working just fine and then it randomly shut down on me and then booted up to the Samsung logo screen. The phone would flash the logo for a few seconds, go black, and then does it again. I've pulled the battery out and once I put the battery back in, the phone automatically turns back on without me having to hold down the power button or anything. I can't seem to be able to enter download mode or be able to reset it either. When I plug it into my computer it does display the battery icon charging which stops the blinking but thats it. Can someone help?

Could be your power button...manual issue...you know like it's stuck down. Go on YouTube they have a dismantling video on cleaning inside of phone buttons etc. Did it myself not hard at all
Hello,
I flashed the latest LRX22C image on my nexus 5 today.Had flashed it clean,wiping data,cache and system etc except the Internal Storage.Then I flashed the SUPERSU 2.37 ZIP .Everything was fine for about 4 hours.Then suddenly when I pressed the power button to turn the screen off,it was not turning off and the "Switch off" mode was popping up instead .Then, when I got a call,it switched off.The phone won't turn on again.It starts,the Google Boot Splash appears and the bootanimation starts for like 2 seconds and it switches off.Same thing for bootloader mode.
Please Help me!
EDIT: Now its turning on by itself and switches off in 2 seconds!
Sounds like a bad power switch to me, but of course that is just my opinion. :good:
sounds like a mech issue.
legit isue
I have the same problem on mine now... Basically my phone powered down around 45%. Battery. At the time i thought it was dead... But it wasnt. When i would plug into external power, either usb or through wireless charging it would power cycle continuously at the android splash screen.... (1 to 2 second intervals - even if i booted into fastboot) Interestingly it would never go to the battery charging mode. But automatically boot on charge... It did this for about 6 hours then i gave up and left it unplugged for a day. I plugged it back in and it started power cycling again, however this time on its third boot it came back to life . thats when i discovered i still had 40% battery... I dont know what exactly made it boot but it did. Oddly also on boot, it started optimising apps and finishing install again. I checked the md5 before I installed the update so no issue there. Since it powered up i have powered the phone off using the power button long push and let the phone power down. After doing this when i plug the phone in to usb charge it goes to the charge screen. No issue. That said, if i try to power up while tethered and charging it will not allow it. It just stays at the charge screen. As soon as i unplug the usb the power button allows the phone to power up and work... When booted up it charges as normal when plugged in. Im convinced there is an issue with the power management drivers or drivers for the button controls. My phone worked fine until the 5.0.1 update was installed. On my nexus 5. Anyone else or just us two? Ive had a hard time finding people posting on this issue.
Hi Friends, as the title says I have a problem booting my Z3(sol26), and I wish to save my data and photos on the phone.
I didn't root or flash anything on the phone, and haven't updated for over 2-years, the recent changes on the phone are installing and uninstalling the WeChat app.
Symptoms:
- The first sign of problem started two days ago, the phone randomly reboots while I am using it. Although it is a rare occurrence, I didn't pay too much attention to it.
- Then yesterday, it randomly reboots again, but this time, the reboot process did not complete: the phone would reboot again after showing the boot animation (like this: i dot imgur dot com/AhF5Kso.png). I plugged the phone into a charger, then it magically completes the reboot. The random reboot happened 2 times yesterday, each time I solved by plugging in the USB cable to charger.
- So today, I decided I should do a backup, but things got worse too fast. The phone now enters a reboot loop, each loop lasts only 5 seconds or so, just enough time for the sony logo to show up. And plugging in the USB cable doesn't help anymore.
What I have tried:
1. Holding power and volume+ key, gets three vibrations and turns phone off. No effect, boot loop continues after powering on.
2. Press the reset button in the sim-card slot, gets three vibrations and turns phone off. No effect, boot loop continues after powering on.
3. Opened up the back cover, removed battery connection, and reconnected it. No effect, boot loop continues after powering on.
4. Plugging in the USB will cause the phone to power on and enter reboot loop.
5. Charging the phone using magnetic contact while it is powered off will not cause boot loop, the battery logo and percentage show up. Now the phone is 90% charged.
At this point, my wish is to get the phone to boot successfully one more time, so that I can savage the data. Please help me.
Hello! I could not find a section for my phone, so I am posting here.
My Zenfone 5 Selfie/Lite (ZC600KL) randomly "bricked". After being left alone charging for 20 minutes, when I came back it was turned off. Holding the power button resulted in the phone showing the "Powered by Android" logo, then the ASUS logo, and stop there.
I don't think it's a battery issue as it always lasted a long period of time; this is the first time anything like that happens, and might be the last. I also never tried meddling with my phone (rooting or the likes of it), so I'm pretty much clueless. I messed around with the phone, turning it on and off for a while, letting it run out of battery and charge it again, leaving it stuck on ASUS logo over night, to no avail.
Here are some things that I noticed that might help solve this problem:
1. After I connect the charger, the screen shows an empty charging battery along with the LED showing the red color (which means no battery). After 5 seconds, the screen turns on again by itself to show the true state of the battery, which is whatever % it is right now and the correct LED light (orange/green).
2. Turning on the phone makes the "low battery" buzz followed by a normal vibration. If it's charging, the "No battery" red LED shows.
3. I can turn on the fastboot mode by pressing Volume + and Power, but it only shows "CSC Fastboot mode!!! Long press power key to shutdown device". While on fastboot, my computer recognizes the phone is connected through USB, but I cannot access the phone's storage.
4. Pressing Volume - and Power does nothing besides restarting the phone.
My english isn't the best, so I apologize. If there's anything that I messed up and you can't understand, please do tell me.
P.S: Zenfone 5 Selfie is the same phone as Zenfone 5 Lite, but it is known by both names for some reason. Thanks for reading.

Exactly the same problem and phone I have here and Google research has been useless plus it appears this model phone has many firmware versions also
I have tried flashing firmware in fastboot mode but the ADB and fastboot tools won't work as it shows write protected as it appears bootloader is locked and am struggling with QPST also got so desperate to get phone working I even checked out some of those android repair software like DR fone then realised they want $70 USD and instantly removed the software haha
Hope we can get answers but seems like that maybe no one has solutions for this
