Hi,
I got Asus zenfone 2 laser 550KL running Android 6.0.1(v21.40.1220.1998_20). Installed the new bootloader unlocker for Marshmallows & went to fastboot, installed TWRP (v2.7) and installed inbuild (TWRP’s Su binary). After reboot it does not start but gets stuck at home screen (Asus In search of incredible logo with loading sign). Kindly help. Let me know what should I do next.
If You’re On Marshmallow Firmware Version 1877,1943 or 1998, you don’t need to unlock your bootloader. The good part is it won’t void your phone’s warranty.
This seems the problem of bootloader also called soft brick , i assume you are able to boot in to recovery (twrp) try after wiping factory data (factory reset + dalvik cache).Try this and let me know the status.
thankyou..
