This is the second time I try to unbrick my device (asus X00PD) with my computer (Ubuntu 23.10) and Im not very smart, so I hope you are patient.
Turns out I can log in to fastboot mode on my device and my computer recognizes the device through fastboot:
fastboot devices
KCAJJFOES633VUN fastboot
I’m following these instructions: https://xdaforums.com/t/fastboot-edl-unbrick-asus-zenfone-max-m1-asus_x00pd-ww_x00pd-zb555kl-zb556kl.3874245/, Method 2:- Flashing Raw Firmware In Fastboot Mode.
I downloaded https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=10rvsIsw3pZ78Lg8eMdrgsvBqujRrreNj, (raw firmware) and extracted it. Inside this directory there are 2 .bat files: 8937.bat for Snapdragon 430, the one I need for my device and 8917.bat for Snapdragon 425. There is also a .sh file (I work with ubuntu): fastboot.sh
I don’t know how to run the .bat file I need on a ubuntu terminal. I also run ./fastboot.sh, but that only rebooted the device into an on and off loop.
How should I proceed?
If you look inside the fastboot.sh file, there’s this bit of code here:
That means you’re supposed to pass an argument to the script with the model? number of the device. So since your device is an 8937, run the script like so:
./fastboot.sh 8937
Further down the script, you can see what it actually does: it unlocks the device, flashes a bunch of partitions and finally reboots it. Since you didn’t specify the model number, it skipped the flashing bit and went directly to the reboot bit. :)
Edit: I also took a look at the .bat files, they basically do they same thing except under Windows, and it’s specific to the model.
thanks a lot! device unbricked
