Device: an ASUS X00PD, computer: Ubuntu 23.10 with ADB and fastboot installed.

I cannot even bootload the device: On the device I press power + volume up buttons to enter bootloader mode but the device stays there half a second. The device then turns itself down, restarts itself and cycles like that till the battery dies.

I don't want to go back to stock software, Id install anything that works for this particular device.

Yes. If you can't access fastboot and the OS, you need to use the Emergence Download Mode (EDL) for you phone (volume down + power).

XDA forums has all the steps and guides to unbrick your device.

  1. Download your firmware file (please check your SoC due to the different phone variants).

  2. Download and compile the QDL tool with some more details about QDL here.

  3. Enter EDL mode.

  4. Flash your firmware as described by the first link in step 2.

  5. Profit????

Can you enter the bios?

is that a new install you can't access or an older one?

[-] vestmoria@linux.community 3 points 11 months ago

Im a noob, so please be patient:

do you mean the desktop's bios or the device's bios?

Incidentally, I just accessed twrp 3.7.0 I somehow installed in the device months ago. Is this the bios you mention?

[-] crony@lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz 2 points 11 months ago

I mean the devices bios.

After installing everything worked correctly, or you didn't use it till today and just realised it didn't work?

If you used the device for some time nad it just now started to give you problems, did you have any updates or have done or deleted anything?

I don't remember anymore, this happened 9 months ago. I remember trying to install lineage and following their instructions, but then lineage seems to be incompatible with my device. Then I, apparently, tried twrp and somehow installed it.

FWIW I don't care about the data, I just want to install a rom that works, preferably a non proprietary one.

ETA: On my desktop's terminal if I type 'adb devices' it returns: KC63JG60633VUN recovery. How far am I?

[-] crony@lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz 3 points 11 months ago

All you need to do then is to reinstall the system if you can access the bios, I have seen there is another comment that names you the steps needed so please reffer to it.

[-] vestmoria@linux.community 1 points 11 months ago

wait, does 'KC63JG60633VUN recovery' on my terminal mean I have accessed the bios?

[-] crony@lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz 2 points 11 months ago

Should be the recovery mode of your phone, like I said there is another comment telling you everything you need to do to fix this issue so would like for you to read it.
