[Q] Can't upgrade zenfone 5 firmware - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear all,
My Zenfone 5 is A500CG with Model Number T00F and Build Number ASUS_T00F_WW_user_1.18.40.9_xxxxx.
I followed all the step one by one, first dowload the right firmware from official ASUS to my PC then extract it. Then I transfer the extracted file to internal memory my zenfone 5.. Then disconnect the phone with my PC. After that, notification appear so I chose the firmware that I transfer to my internal phone memory before and than running the process.
In the middle of process upgrading suddenly stop and it says error: "assert failed getprop("ro.build.asus.sku")=="WW" bla bla bla...., why???.
FYI i already download the right firmware: "ASUS ZenFone 5(T00F/T00J) software Image: V1.18.40.10 for WW SKU only". I do it again from the beginning with carefully step by step but still that error message came again.
Can you help me... Thanks B4..

[Q] Zenfone 6 firmware upgrade problem

I wanted to upgrade my firmware on my zenfone 6.
But I have a problem. There is no guide for my version of software.
I tried manual update but after disconnecting devices from USB no installation pop up
appeared. I tried sideload but I am getting no devices found after using prompt
commands. I am not so tech savvy. Please give me step by step advise.
What is more auto update to 4,4 is not working either.

Doogee Turbo Mini F1 MTK MT6732 - does not start after manufacturer update

Hello guys,
I am new to the forum, please don't blame me if I put it into wrong section.
... so, my problem is that I've clicked to install update, Android prompted me to do it. It has downloaded some Doogee files, rebooted phone, then was trying to install the update.
It has failed (there was Android error icon). Now my phone does not start, it's frozen on the Doogee intro.
I've bought my phone from Coolicool, but asked Doogee directly what should I do. Each time I ask they send me some incomplete instructions, broken links to flashing procedure. Half of that stuff is mixed chinese with poor english. I've tried my best to understand it, but failing consistently.
Could anyone help me with reflashing procedure for that phone?
Much appreciated.

Please help with (soft) bricked Zenfone 5 (rooted, TWRP, )

My Zenfone 5 received today an OTA update (3.24.40.78) and I authorized it, but it went into a bootloop, maybe because it was rooted (I had the 3.23.40.52 version until now).
I couldn't risk not backing up some of the data I had in the internal memory, so I decided to try TWRP and it really helped on that issue (doing a backup).
But now I am stuck with a (soft) bricked device, and I really (!!!) need help with it.
I also have tried factory resetting, of course, but all it does is enter the bootloop again.
For some reason, TWRP sideloading is not working on my computer: the device is properly recognized in all modes but sideloading, it just vanishes, then comes back as a USB-connected device again when I mount it or go into bootload/droidboot. I tried updating drivers, uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and devices, etc., but no good. So instead of sideloading I went for the "install" option in TWRP (after copying the files to the internal memory, of course). But here is the bad part, I have tried four different versions and none work:
2.22.40.54: it shows "Device image SKU:" and nothing comes after that, then states "OTA image SKU: WW" (my device is WW!), then gives the following error:
Code:
assert failed: getprop("ro.build.asus.sku") == "WW"
return code 8
5.3.3.3 [i.e., trying to downgrade from Lollipop to Kitkat]: approximately the same error. It also leaves blank after "Device image SKU:" and, after stating "OTA image SKU: WW", it says "Please use the right SKU for updating".
3.23.40.52 [i.e., trying to go back to the version that was installed until today]: it says "Only higher than Android 4.4.2 20150409 image version can upgrade to Android 5.0" (but I was already on 5.0!).
3.24.40.78 [i.e., trying to properly install the latest version, that bricked my phone]: the error is "Only Android 4.4.2/Android 5.0 20150522-20151001 image version could upgrade with this package".
On all four cases it ends saying there as an error executing the updater binary in the chosen zip file.
My device was always WW, but I even tried tried to "change from TW" to WW by flashing fastboot and recovery img files from one of the zips, but all I got was a dead android robot logo, so I installed TWRP back again.
Please help...

Micromax Canvas 2.2 A114 hard bricked s_dl_pmt_err_no_space (5069) & other errors

What happened:-
I have Micromax A114(Canvas 2.2) which has MT6582 chip. One day when I restart my phone got a screen with white background that says "Encryption Unsuccessful" you need to reset ur phone. I tried to wipe cache and data from recovery it said "unable to mount". So I re-flashed the official stock rom(the one that I was running on my phone) but the flash process was unsuccessful.
You will find all the screenshots here http :// download. pratiyogitadarpanpdf. com/cover/a114flash /index.php
What is the current situation with my phone:-
It is not starting up not even any sign of charging when connected to charger, but when connected to my laptop it shows "Micromax A110 Preloader USB VCOM Port (COM42)" in the device manager. Sometimes it also shows "MediaTek DA USB VCOM Port (COM73)"
What I've tried:-
1. I tried flashing different ROMs compatible with my phone but getting the Brom error s_dl_pmt_err_no_space (5069). So, it is not the problem with the size of ROM, i guess.
1.1 Flashing with "firmware upgrade" option throws "Failed to get PMT info"​1.2 Flashing with "download" option says "partition management table is not found. Please use "format+download" option."​1.3 Flashing with "format all + download" option throws "Brom error S_DL_PMT_ERR_NO_SPACE (5069)"​1.4 When tried to auto format flash (with format flash except bootloader option), it says "S-DL_READ_PT_FAILED(5073)":crying:​2. I used different versions of sp_tools from 3.2 to latest version 5. But, still getting the same error with all versions.
3. I tried to readback with sp tools it says OK.
4. When I tried memory test in sp tools with the scatter file of official rom(that was running fine on my phone earlier), it gives error S_DA_SDMMC_WRITE_FAILED (3149) and same old NAND FLASH NOT DETECTED error in the output.
5. But when I flashed only the preloader of the same rom with "format all + download" option, it was formated and flashed successfully.:fingers-crossed: But then try to flash the other files of that same rom, it again shows "Brom error S_DL_PMT_ERR_NO_SPACE (5069)"
6. I don't have Mtk_Droid_Tool backup files for my phone. And it is not detecting my phone.
7. I read other threads on XDA with similar symptoms but no luck.
What should I do now? Help needed.
I tried searching for the solution on the internet continuously for like 4 days and found things that do nothing. Please suggest me what to do? Should I giveup or what? I love my phone very much:crying:. I seriously need your suggestions.:angel: Any help would be highly appreciated.
occurred same problem with my phone canvas 2.2
occurred same problem with my phone canvas 2.2 before 4 days and I am trying to search out any resolution on internet but yet not succeeded; Let's hope someone from XDA will help us in this matter.

How to Root Lenovo A7020a48 & Fix IMEI errors

Hello , Guys
Since you all probably know, Lenovo A7020a48 has Android 6.0 Marshmallow which cannot be rooted because of the following :
1 - We got a locked bootloader, we can't flash or boot into custom recoveries and sadly at the moment I couldn't find a way to unlock it.
2 - We don't even have a custom recovery made for that model yet, I tried different version of TWRP for A7020a40 ~ A7020a46 models and they all crashed upon booting to them.
3 - Kingroot and similiar apps can't root Android 6.0.
So the only way to root your phone would be to downgrade it to Android 5.1 Lolipop which is easy.
Here is download links for the stock roms :
A7020a48_LL_S125_160419_ROW.rar.7z
A7020a48_S259_160721_ROW.7z
When you finish downloading please don't forget that we are going to use the SP Flash Tool provided in the rom as only that version "SP_Flash_Tool_5.1552.00" worked for me with no errors however with latest versions i got problems.
Obviously you are going to install the USB drivers and CDC drivers located at the "DRV_Tools" folder in the rom you downloaded.
after installing the drivers correctly turn off your phone, open SP flash tool, and choose the scatter file located at : "\SW\target_bin\MT6755_Android_scatter.txt" and then choose "Download Mode" then wait for it to finish checking the files, then click on the download button on the top left corner.
Then connect your device and wait for it to detect the device .
Wait until the flashing is complete Then After the green circle appears, simply disconnect your phone and boot into system normally.
Note: You might see a black box in the bottom left corner saying "efuse flash done or similar stuff" don't worry about it" it won't appear again however if you got an error saying "DL image failed" then you did something wrong repeat the previous steps again and make sure you choose everything correct especially your rom.
Now to the last part, finish the first time setup screens by skipping most of them and DO NOT UPDATE YOUR SYSTEM AT ALL
if you got a notification to update, simply ignore it or press cancel, and open google chrome, download king root and wait for it to simply root you phone.
Congratulations that's the first part for rooting your phone.
Now to Fixing Your IMEI
Simply Enable USB debugging in options and enable OEM unlocking.
Then power off your phone.
Download this tool : MauiMETA_v9.1635.23.rar
Yes Again it has to be that specific versions, with other versions i couldn't connect to my device however with this version i could.
Extract it to a random location on your pc and MauiMeta.exe and click on options and enable "enable composite kernel usb (adb)" then click on reconnect.
Now you have to connect your device with usb and turn it on, don't worry MauiMeta will change the boot to META mode automatically after it starts booting leave it as it's and wait for the tool to connect to your phone.
***After it connects simply choose IMEI download and a new window should appear, first click on upload from flash button then click yes to retrieve the modem file from your phone, then simply type your IMEI ( Please note that changing your IMEI is illegal however you should only use this method to fix your IMEI not change it ! , you have been warned)
Note : IMEI numbers should be 15 numbers however with MauiMeta you should only type the first 14 number as the 15th number is only a checksum number and will be added automatically.
After typing the IMEIs and checking them simply click on download to flash.
After it says "flashing is successful" then close the window and click Disconnect, and your phone should turn off automatically and you should start it up again.
*** Note : If you have a corrupted NVRAM file on your phone then you are lucky since that rom comes with the modem db file as well to fix NVRAM issues, simply click "Change NVRAM database file" then click No to choose the file, The file exists in the ROM package you downloaded earlier in the following location : "SW\modemdb\MDDB_InfoCustomApp....etc.EDB" and continue the rest of the steps normally.
Please Note that I won't provide support for this, I have only created this tutorial to save time for other people and I'm not expert yet to fix all the problem you may face however after following these steps i managed to root my device and even fix the invalid imei errors i got.
Also if you found errors in my thread or mistakes Please let me know so i can fix them.
Good luck and Don't hard brick your phone XD
