[Q] - failed to write data protocol fault (no status) topic

Hi all,

I am having problem in my bricked Asus zenfone 5.
My phone got bricked when it wasn't able to completely update. When i try to reset it, it is on bootloop already.

As of now i am doing the following
1) fastboot flash recovery
2) go to recovery menu
3) do an ADB sideload

roughly around 20 to 25% of adb sideload i get the following error in the CMD "failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)'
then my phone restarts

Solutions I tried
-close antivirus
-already tried using 4 different usb cables
-end process of adb.exe (as suggested by one thread in xda)

I am also looking at this solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2720846
but i am clueless on how to do it. I don't have a clue regarding the "advance mode" they are talking about

Thanks you in advance
