Troubleshooting ZXW Errors and Renewing Your Subscription

Published / by Jason / 28 Comments on Troubleshooting ZXW Errors and Renewing Your Subscription

ZXW is a valuable tool for logic board repair, whether you are repairing an iPhone, iPad, or Android device, having to go back to playing “Where’s Waldo” with PDFs when your ZXW tool stops working feels like a return to the stone age. But never fear! We are going to help you minimize your downtime and troubleshoot the most common ZXW errors below:

NO NETWORKS FOUND!

No networks found error
No networks found dialog box.

This error occurs when your computer can’t communicate with the ZXW servers. Most commonly this is because the server is down on their end, in which case you will just have to wait unfortunately. Other times you can try switching to a different server, or check that your internet service provider and firewall aren’t blocking the connection.

 This one can look scary at first, but it really is just ZXW telling you that you need to update your software to the latest version. To do, go to the ZXW website (zxwtools.com) and look for the latest version on their download page. Here you can select the latest version at the top of the list and download the update by clicking on the button labeled ”下载“ with the download icon on it.

After you are redirected to the ZXW download page, click the download button above.

Once you have finished downloading the latest ZXW software, simply extract the software from the RAR file (7-Zip works great) and you will be good to go again!

Software has expired

You will have to renew your ZXW tool subscription to continue using the software.

This is the only case where you will have to renew your ZXW tool subscription in order to continue using the software. However, doing so can seem daunting at first. Clicking on the “Open” button will bring you to a web page completely in Chinese and ask you to pay with a Chinese service, which if you can’t read will seem like an impossible mission.

  1. I purchased ZXW dongle key from Amazon. I have spent hours trying to get it to work. The problem is when you click on software download icon on the Home page it will take you to the next page. There is no arrow down displayed next to the Chinese download icon. I tried every one of the updates with no results. No arrow down icons to start downloading. Very frustrating and not user friendly.

  2. help my zxw cannot open, it shows dongle not found. the driver detected correctly as usb input device in my device manager.
    what should i do?

  3. My error is “[Chinese]!(missing file)” . I can’t copy it to translate it. When I click on the active link, ZXW just closes down.

    I solved the error of “PADS” not having access to Windows/programs/startup, but I can’t get past this one.

    I did take a screenshot, but I don’t see a way here to attach an image…

    1. Oh, and I haven’t been able to enter my license, either. I bought a new dongle (I lost the original), so I have a new license, but I can’t activate it. This has been going on for weeks..I spend a few hours at it, pull my hair out, and go do something else…

    2. I figured this one out–my Norton tools were deleting anything from ZXW or Blackfish as hazardous downloads. It was the “init” file that kept getting deleted, I think. It took me quite a few tries to get Norton to let things through (and then let them stay on my hard drive), but I’ve got it now, I think.

      But NOW I have a “no dongle detected” problem. Not only is there a dongle there, but it was working fine just a day or two ago.

      As you said in the intro, when you’ve had ZXW up and running and then you don’t, it feels like a return to the stone age…

  7. Ever since upgrading to version 3.0 I have been unable to run Microfish. I always get “load the data error” and it closes. I’ve tried on multiple computers and even wiped a computer and started from scratch. Still no joy. Has anyone else encountered this? Any help would be much appreciated.

  8. HAVE YOU BEEN SCAMMED OF YOUR COINS

    I invested a total of$95,000.00USD worth of Bitcoin with an online company who does trading and was guaranteed a payout of 25% a week. They ended up shutting down their company website but their website was still running. So I could still see my dashboard at that time and instead of paying weekly they ended up compounding my money. It ended up compounding to$179, 000USD so I requested for a withdrawal which was declined before they shutdown their website, I complained to my colleague at work who directed me about this recovery expert, Mr. Morris Ray, that helped him, I contacted him immediately, what surprised me most, was that I recovered my money that same week. You can contact him on his email at MorrisGray830 at Gmail dot com and on WhatsApp: + 1 (607) 698-0239 and he will assist you on the steps to recover your invested funds.
    Just trying to help those who where scammed just the way I was too.

  12. It is wonderful to have someone so skilled and understanding of how cyberspace works. I would recommend your service to anyone who finds themselves in a situation of identity theft or cyber crime. I was a victim of a cryptocurrency investment scam running to the cost of $64,000.00. I felt betrayed because I really trusted these crypto guys after seeing my little investment grow into hundreds of thousands. ( CYBERGENIE@CYBERSERVICES.COM ) Came to my rescue and helped me recover my investment capital within 36 hours because I did all I could to get my funds back…

  13. When I first invested with these crypto-currency traders on the Internet, All I could think about at that time was getting my profits and giving my daughters a happy life till they kept asking for more money and the fees were endless while trying to withdraw my investment. That’s when I realized that I have been conned. I was recommended to an ethical hacker with expertise in the “Recovery of Bitcoin” . I hired them; their fees were appealing, and their results were more than and their fees were appealing and their results were more than what I expected. I successfully recovered my lost BTC and ETH from these scammers with the help of ( Cybergenie AT cyberservices DOT com ) WA +1-252-512-0391. I highly recommend this Ethical hacker to anyone with ANY Cyber related fraud issue, Phone Hack, or seeking a Private Investigator…

  14. “I am writing this review to express my sincere gratitude to this NFT and USDT recovery hacker for all that he did for me during one of the most stressful and painful times in my life. His professionalism and guidance, at a time when I questioned myself how dumb I was to give out $1.2 Million Usdt to an NFT trading scammer, helped me to accept that so long there is a problem, there will always be a solution. He provided me with irrefutable proof that strengthened my doubts about the possibility of recovering or tracking lost BTC or USDT. I have no doubt about the decisions I made afterward. It took a while but success was achieved in recovering all the USDT Tokens I had sent. At a time when I felt like my whole world was tumbling down around me, his concern was truly appreciated. I highly recommend his services and while I hope never to need him again, I will be sure to call him if need be. Thanks so much, Cyber Genie Team”
