Things needed:
ADB/Fastboot knowledge - HERE and HERE
RGB565Converter v0.3c - Thanks to DeToX-cz!
UPDATE: You must have the engineering bootloader flashed for access to splash1. Follow the steps here to flash the S=OFF bootloader. -Thanks to jcase
Instructions:
Find an or create an image (.png, .bmp, .jpg, or .gif -- 320x480 is preferrable)
Open RGB565 Converter
Ensure that "To RGB565 (binary)" tab is selected
Click "Open Image", select your image
Click "Convert to RGB565" (RGB565 Converter will make your image 320x480 if it is not already)
CLOSE RGB565 CONVERTER
Reboot phone into Fastboot using this command: adb reboot bootloader
OR Button combo: SEND/CALL + END/POWER
Flash image using this command: fastboot flash splash1 <your_image_name>.rgb565
Reboot phone using this command: fastboot reboot
OR fastboot oem powerdown if not then remove your battery
View the results of your hard work.
Enjoy!
As of right now there is no way to read the splash1 partition to back it up short of some kind of kernel mod to partition splash1 from NAND as a new MTD. At least that's how I understand it, please correct me if I'm wrong.
You must flash the S-OFF BOOTLOADER for this to work.
You can use the RGB565Converter tool to flash your image successfully without needing to type commands.
Below is another method used to keep your phone from rebooting unexpectedly during the process:

I tried using the "Flash Splash1" button that someone had posted earlier and I almost **** myself. I think my phone tried to load the file I originally used to root it. I was getting really nervous so I pulled the battery and, to my relief, it powered on and it booted normally. I'm sure that method works but I'm scared of it now.
I tried the original instructions and it rebooted my phone before I was ready so I did this in the command prompt (this was mentioned on the first page of posts):
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb shell
su
reboot bootloader
fastboot flash splash1 <copy and paste file name here>
fastboot reboot
Of course this will only work if you've downloaded the program, converted your picture and placed it in the tools directory of SDK.
Worked great for me. I couldn't be happier!

How do you get into fastboot? I held the trackball down and power. Is that what you meant by hold "send press" and also does the image need to be on the root of the sdcard(Im guessing so...)?

no, Hold Call button and end button to get into fastboot
and this is ONLY FOR ROOTED PHONES
thanks
thanks i will try it out. Im using ivan's 0.7
Ok so i figured out i needed to be in "fastboot usb" mode, but i searched and found that i had to type this command into the CommandPrompt
Code:
adb shell
su
reboot bootloader
then type in the command that was mentioned before, but make sure that the image is in the \tools dir in your android sdk install.

^^^ This worked...But i have question after this how do you reboot?
I just did a battery pull But I'm sure there must be a command to reboot anyone know what it is?
and I used this Picture of an android with the letters ERIS in the center is anyone else want that instead of the droid one or something.
there should be an option to go to HBOOT menu and then into recovery and reboot from there.
I used this one:
Great tutorial. Thanks!
Here's mine if someone likes it they are free to use it.

I did a battery pull myself too lazy to go into recovery from hboot. My phone did not explode after doing a battery pull so it "should" be safe however do so with caution.
moved thread by request of OP.
Best regards,
Flar
Ive learned that battery pull is the easyiest way,
As a fan of FFXIII, I could not pass up the opportunity to do this.
[Taking Requests also ]
Maybe we should come up with a thread so people can post all boot images and animations in one place, no?
Just remember to convert it like mentioned in the first post
Here is one(as a fan =] ):
Was just thinking about changing and found this. Thanks.
Awesome!!!
Thanks for the tutorial.
Worked great!
Recently while updating my Kindle Fire HD 7, my device went into a bootloop where it would boot into TWRP and the TWRP logo kept blinking, I live at a place where it is impossible to procure a factory cable. After numerous failed attempts on making one myself i gave up on factory cables. I however wasn't satisfied enough by my failures so i went the hard way and out of curiosity connected my Kindle to my Laptop and did an ADB device lookup. VOILA ! It was there but now i was wondering how to get it into the fastboot mode from there. After crashing my head several times and punching a few commands my device booted into the orange heaven for a hacker. "The FASTBOOT Mode." So if you are in the same situation i hope this guide will be able to help you unbrick your device.
Steps:
1. Power on your device until the dreadful TWRP LOGO starts flashing.
2. Connect your kindle with your PC.
3. Type in "adb devices" and check if your device is available.
4. If your device shows up in ADB Devices List, Proceed to the next step.
5. Type in "adb reboot bootloader"
6. Now the device will boot into the fastboot mode.
7. Download TWRP from here
8. cd to the folder where your twrp image has been downloaded and type "fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery kfhd7-twrp-2.8.7.0-recovery.img" to flash it
TWRP downloading from the link indicated installs a Trojan on your PC. Caution

This version TWRP has been uploaded by @Hashcode , Kindly use the second button to download (BlueColor) and not the 1st one.
Title
Do you want me to test it? I will be able to do so in about 1-2 months because I have the same problem. I'm gonna save this page in favorites until then.
Sent by my kfhd7 with BeanStalk-4.4.4065-20141002-tate and Twrp 2.8.7.0
Okay, I've put in the last command, and now it says it is waiting for any device. It doesn't seem to want to detect my device, any ideas?
EDIT: Nevermind, just had to set it to the adb composite driver!
device never booted into fastboot mode

Hello Guys,
Now it s finally here
working root for ze550kl, a very big thanks to @shakalaca,
he developed this, full credit goes to him. :fingers-crossed:
Version 1.15.40.639
original thread source
http:// www.asus.com/zentalk/tw/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=111151&extra=page=1
Before starting root procedure make sure that you have backup all installed apks, in order to avoid apk update after installing patched firmware, as it consume more bandwidth & time.
Steps to Root
1- Download the full version of firmware patch: new version folder 1.15.40.639.
https://mega.nz/#F!lodnzDhK!H5ChxausDTyko1qGlnF7dw!Fg9FwLoa
2- Descompress system.img.7z with 7zip program
3- Copy the boot.img / system.img / recovery.img to (adb/fastboot) folder.
4- Execute this commands in sequence:
-adb device
-adb reboot bootloader
-fastboot devices
-fastboot erase userdata
-fastboot erase cache
-fastboot flash boot boot.img
-fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
-fastboot flash system system.img
It will take some time to finish approx 10 min, let it finish
-fastboot reboot
first time, it will take more time than usual, as it will build cache, if stuck more than 15 minute, remove battery & charging (if charging) & after insert battery after 2 min, go to recovery mode, wipe factory/data, erase cache, reboot system.
It will take some time to restart be patient.
now you do not need to install any super user it s already there.
Enjoy,
@shakalaca thanks again
Tried & working well

Ok thnx.
Phone protected.....??
I downloaded these files and The CACHE and USERDATA got deleted,
but when I tried to flash the boot.img and recovery.img with fastboot, in both cases got the message:
FAILED (remote: Permission denied, phone is protected).
I did not even try to flash the system.img
Then when I did a fastboot reboot, I just got the ASUS screen with a spinning wheel during boot.
IDEAS?

If you only need to connect to it using ADB, you don't need to enter fastboot. Just enable USB Debugging in Developer Options and connect it to your computer using a USB cable. You must have ASUS USB drivers installed prior to doing this and just MAYBE you need to boot your Windows PC with TESTSIGNING on (I don't know if it works with it off. I always have it enabled).
Run the
Code:
adb devices
command and it should show.
Thanks for the inquiry, I'll be trying that later
I have bricked my A2 today. I first unlocked the bootloader then insatlled GCAM.
everything was fine, but i tried to install XPOSED (sdk 27) from Magisk module, then rebooted from magisk. My set is stuck at android one animation.
I downloaded official firmware of A2 and tried to flash via mi flash tool, always gets an error of "FLASH_DEVCFG_A ERROR" . Then i tried by clicking on "flash_all_except_data.bat" file, cmd just opened and closed very soon, Same thing happended with "flash_all_lock.bat" ,again cmd just opened and closed.
Still my phone is stuck at Android one animation, and i cant flash or boot my set.

xposed would have not messed with those partitions. did you flash system partition yet?
if not just flash system, vendor and boot
once you have flashed those, do fastboot -w (will loose all data).
and then reboot
fastboot reboot

GOT THESE ERROR::
PS C:\adb> fastboot flash system_a C:\adb\images\system.img

my system iso is there in that location
but successfuly done fastboot flash vendor_b C:\adb\images\vendor.img
and fastboot flash vendor_a C:\adb\images\vendor.img
What are you even doing with all those commands
You need to download latest ADB, that is the first that you need to do, and second, copy all of the images from stock rom to your adb folder, it will be easier for commands to work.
And then start your cmd.exe with administrative privileges (right click on cmd in search bar of windows start, and "run as administrator").
Then move yourself from directory to your adb directory with commands from DOS, like "cd.." for going back from directory, and "cd nameofdir" to go into directory.
So move yourself in adb directory, then type the commands from the upper link to flash those .img one by one.
Oh yes, one other thing, you need to check if you see your mobile device in fastboot, did you install correct drivers.
When you are in adb folder, in cmd type fastboot devices, and you should see your mobile connected, if not, then you can type all you want, the phone is not recognized with pc connection.
Right, so... follow this guide to make sure you've unlocked your bootloader successfully. After you've finished, also add in the command "fastboot flashing unlock_critical". I'm not sure why it didn't work for you in the first place - but I know for a fact it works, because I did it to my own A2.
Make sure you've installed adb/drivers as attached by that link above. Why? 'Cause that's what I did, so I know it should work.
Then go here, extract the files to the same folder as platform-tools (the adb and fastboot tools folder), and run flash-all.bat.
Hey bro i do it too, tô solve, just do a fastboot unlock_critical

Adb Sideload and OTG didn't worl no matter what I tried.
I followed this thread, and it worked properly without errors, not even one.
It took me 5 minutes to recover my dead MiA2 device to a smooth original/official ROM built.
Locled OEM, rebooted the device and everything is working perfectlt.
Thank you all for the info.
Hi all.
I would not be writing this topic if everything I did havent failed.
I tried every possible solution to this I was able to find on the internet - nothing has worked so far.
I tried doing this on different PCs - same result.
I flashed Syberia ROM but didnt like it so decided to go with MIUI 9.7.10.12. I already had TWRP at that time but when I flashed MIUI everything erased, I mean everything - data, storage, TWRP everything.
System works fine but I am unable to flash TWRP with constant message: error: device '(null)' not found.
ADB device not found but fastboot works and ADB shows device connected. The phone is authorized with USB debugging turned on, drivers installed on PC, TWRP image file is correct. I am lost :/ dont know what to do.
Please help
there is no need to flash recovery via adb. twrp should be flash from fastboot. turn off your phone, hold volume down and power for few seconds and phone will boot in fastboot mode.
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Click to collapse
and done.

Where should I type in the command if not in ADB?
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If I go manually to recovery (vol up + power) the phone reboots to stock recovery so the TWRP is not installed. I tried different versions of TWRP. no progress
Type
Fastboot reboot
and now you can go to twrp recovery by manually .. Power off phone, volume up + power
Or you can also do this

fastboot reboot --> phone goes to system
vol up + power --> stock recovery
the problem is TWRP is not flashing :/
it is not USB debugging problem, not USB drivers problem.
The other thing is I can go to fastboot through ADB only when im on CHARGING MODE, it doesnt work on MTP MODE where it should.
brother you just flashed twrp successfully in the screenshot you posted, point is miui, dont let it stick when you boot to system and reboot.
you should, do this. go to fastboot
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot boot twrp.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you can flash other modded recovery which will stick. like zcx

thx, that command worked
but why I cant go to TWPR using vol up + power?
fastboot boot twrp.img doesn't work for me, after it just black screen with MI logo and "Unlocked" for a long time...
can't enter twrp in any way after success flashing :crying:
Need help with this. Can't sideload with adb fastboot is working fine though.
How can I solve "FAILED (remote: This partition doesn´t exist error)"?
From TWRP > tap Advanced > Terminal > run command: mkdir -p /data/media/0/
Copy the rom to your phone internal storage from pc
Install by finding the transfered rom in the internal storage.
