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?
No need for any drivers. You just need to install
android-sdk-platform-tools
, assuming you’re running Raspbian or similar the command would besudo apt install android-sdk-platform-tools
.After that, type
fastboot
and/oradb
and see if they work.Sweet. I’ll need to dust of the pi. But yeah it’ll be running Raspbian.
