Hello, I've brought my tablet (ASUS ZenPad S 8.0 Z580C) to a state, that it is STUCK on logo on the boot screen and my "Recovery Mode" gives me errors when I am trying to flash some images with it. (Roughly)
I suppose it is because I tried to install KingRoot over SuperSU.
Is it any possible way to debrick my tablet? Maybe change some micro-chip on it with the bootloader? I don't know... I tried to fix it myself, I have some experience with firmware installing. I've followed instructions on some websites that didn't work, because my Recovery is also broken. I have been searching for help trough the whole web, as an experienced computer and internet user I feel like there is no "CURE" for my device... Should I sell it on electronic parts?
 
Thanks, I'll try this out!

Fu@#... I'm on linux now, and I have only 64GB SSD, so I don't have space for a VM.
 
I can't perform this action. Windows doesn't recognize my tablet in Device Manager, it shows "Android device" with yellow-warning-triangle, so Asus Flash Tool also doesn't recognize my device. I have access only to BLOCKED Bootloader, where I can perform SD Download (without success) and fastboot operations, but this tablet's firmware doesn't contain any system.img and recovery.img, only:

META-INF (folder)
system (folder) -> build.prop (only this file)
boot.img
droidboot.img
file_contexts
ifwi.zip
splashscreen.img
system.new.dat
system.patch.dat
system.transfer.list
 
I FIXED IT!!! HAHA!!! MOTHER#@!ERS I FIXED IT!!! FOR 2 YEARS IT WAS JUST A F#CKING STONE AND NOT IT'S ALIVE!!!

I uploaded the RAW file to my SD card and performed SD Download from bootloader menu.

SAIONARA !!
