Help My Zenfone 2 is "dead"?

Sorry if I break the boxes, but it's serious the problem.
It's the continue to androidforums.com/threads/recovery-mode-removed.1117078/#post-7488338.

After managing to have a TWRP for Marshmallow, I immediately made the full format (except sd), then attempting to install LineageOS but again had the error not to recognize firm, perhaps because the bootloader is closed again, so I decided to restore my backup of CyanogenMod 13, succeeding thankfully, but once I rebooted the system, not only had failed to boot the operating system and returned to the bootloader, but even I could not re-enter the TWRP. So I went into a panic...

So what I decided to do? Groped to search all drivers and files to the Fastboot, to try to fix something. When found the files, I decided right away to open CMD and use the Fastboot command to install the files: boot, droidboot and recovery.img. And so it was that succeeded in killing my phone (I think). This is because once tried to turn, felt the vibration but did not display anything and never went beyond, despite everything, it was still possible to use the Fastboot command whenever it was on.

Do you say that I have to send it for repair or are there other possibilities?
 
I don't know Asus devices, but I assume there is some way of reflashing the phone with official software (you can find this for most manufacturers, though the tools vary). If you can still get it into the fastboot mode then a reflash should fix it.

(I've never heard of "droidboot", which makes me think that Asus devices are different enough that I'm reluctant to suggest anything more specific).
 
Fortunately I created earlier backup, so I can not lose the data forever.
Anyway, I'll see what I can do.
 
Unfortunately I'm not succeeding. Strangely, the PC can not recognize my smartphone using Fastboot and every time that I try to turn feels alone the double vibration, and that's it. :(
 
Do you need to install a driver from asus to your PC to get it to recognize your phone in fastboot state? I very dimly remember something like installing adb but that was for a moto phone.

edit - ask these folks how to flash it back to stock.
