I have rooted my Zenfone 2 ZE551ML using a method which permanently replaces recovery (I didn't realize it back then). Can I unbrick it using only fastboot? I can't use adb, as I can't open recovery. I basically need a fastboot adb sideload alternative for flashing the entire firmware/ROM. I tried to flash every single part (except for the system.img, which I couldn't flash) of the firmware using fastboot separately, but it didn't work.

  • Why don't you search for an appropriate recovery, and flash it with fastboot first?

  • You mean, to flash a recovery using fastboot? Didn't work.

  • I see. I think that it'll be better to summon @Firelord. He's the fastboot expert, after all.

You can flash a new recovery image with fastboot.
The command is: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img where 'recovery.img' is the name of the image.

If you enter fasboot on the command line with no options or parameters you will see the usage, which is: fastboot flash [partition] [filename]

  • Flashing a new recovery didn't help. Neither stock nor twrp worked.

  • Could you please elaborate? Did you receive an error? Was there any output at all?

  • Stock: Couldn't get over that button combination protection thing TWRP: When I opened recovery, it rebooted.
