bootloader loop and unable to flash some partitions

PiR
Star I

Hello,
My Zenfone 9 is in a bootloader loop. The menu 'start' and 'recovery mode' restart the device but boot again on the bootloader.
I have never rooted the device and the bootloader is locked.
I am able to access the bootloader via fastboot:

$fastboot oem device-info
(bootloader) Verity mode: false
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: true
(bootloader) Device authorized: false
(bootloader) Device authorized2: false
(bootloader) WaterMask unlock: N
...

I  downloaded the firmware on the ASUS website UL-ASUS_AI2202-ASUS-34.0304.2004.145-1.1.1-2407-user.zip . I have extracted the images of each partition but I am not able to  flash some partitions, there are errors on some partitions

Please, How can I fix the bootloader loop ?  Does flash all partitions will fix it ? How can I flash all partitions ?
many thanks
