If i understand correct you want to flash stock rom?
Download from asus
Unzip the zip.
you will see a folder named asus and then a zip inside the folder,
Copy the zip that's inside your folder and extract to SD-Card now reboot recovery and flash,
Wipe data/factory reset is always a +1 to not get a boot loop
If that doesnt work copy the file in /asus/update to the root directory and rename it EP101_SDUPDATE then it should go

If that one i provided won't work than i would say the zip were corrupt, and i never got your way to install the zip, pretty strange but i tested it :O

Being my first android phone, I had a play around - used Unrevoked to root the device and install several versions on the Wildfire ROMs, but to be honest I am getting fed up having to re-install everything every time there is a bug fix, so thought I would go back to the stick rom. So I decided to restore my original backup which worked fine, only problem now is there is an update to download and install. When I try to install the update it boots into clockwork recovery and so the update does not go ahead. Any ideas on how so solve this problem? Voda unlocked UK device
BTW:- Thanks for the guys who put all the work into the custom roms, this is not a criticism of their work - its just I want to go back to a fully working system. Cheers
Hi, you have to rename the zip file : "update.zip" and put it on your SD card. Then, you choose it in recovery.

The update is downloaded automatically by the OS it's not something I have downloaded manually - Do you know where the system would download the file?
It downloads to sdcard/downloads folder i think.
I think too
Thanks guys, yes the upgrade was downloaded to that folder - it took a few attemtps to apply but worked.
So if I wanted to get rid of the clockovery pieces will I need to apply one of the RUU shipped roms? There is not one listed for voda (english) but would it be safe to apply the latest WWE ?
Okay First of all download the following files
a)http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_crespo/VQ8PQk_V.zip (4.0.3 OTA)
b)http://android.clients.google.com/p...a25375426.signed-soju-ota-189904.1ada2537.zip (2.3.6 Official I9020T Build)
c)http://bit.ly/su2361ef (SU flashable)
d)http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988686 (Grab recovery form this thread)
e)http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html (Grab the android SDK installer)
f)http://attachments.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=687157&d=1313224429 (Radio file only required for I9020A)
Okay so when done with all that proceed as follows
1) Backup your current apps using Titanium Backup (Optional/Recommended)
2) Backup(Nandroid) your rom using backup option in CWM (Optional/Recommended)
3) Do a full wipe, wipe sdcard, system, data, cache Transfer a,b,c,f to your phone.
4) Flash the 2.3.6 Official I9020T Build you had downloaded using the install zip option in CWM (IMP-DO NOT REBOOT RIGHT NOW)
5) Flash the flashable SU file you had downloaded and then reboot.
6) Once your phone is on, continue to set up your account or skip it as you wish. (Optional)
7) Open up market, download the latest SU app, Voodoo OTARootKeeper, Titanium Backup and any other app you use that requires root.
8) Open the updated SU app, hit menu button and click preferences, go all the way down, click on su binary(tap to check for updates) , and make sure it updates to v3.0.3
9) After that is done, open and allow root permissions to all your root apps. (This is important)
9.5) Run Voodoo OTARootKeeper and click on protect root, make sure all options get checked.
10) Turn off phone, keep volume up and power pressed to boot into fastboot.
11) Select recovery with volume buttons and use power to launch.
12) Once you see a android bot image and an arrow image, keep volume up pressed and press power once, then you'll see some options appear.
13) Select apply update option and find the official 4.0.3 OTA file you had downloaded and flash. Reboot.
14) Once you have booted into ICS, go to Voodoo OTARootKeeper and select resture Root, all options should now be ticked, if not something went wrong.
15) Voila, you have root. Now to get back CWM recovery you can follow this -
i) Place the recovery img file in the android sdk platform-tools folder
ii) Switch to the directory where you unzipped the Android SDK & go to "tools"
iii) Then type "fastboot flash recovery yourfilename.img" & hit enter
iv) That should do it.
v) Optionally you may do it form Rom Manager too, if it works.
16) (ONLY FOR I9020A) Reboot phone, turn it off, boot into fastboot, select recovery, CWM should launch, flash the radio file you had downloaded to get radio working on I9020A (ONLY FOR I9020A)
Root only works for the apps that were installed while on 2.3.6
http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip , use this root file, flash it in cwm, everything works, permissions etc.
This might work for other variants, tested on I9020A and I9020T, I take no responsibility for anything that might go wrong with your device. I take no credit for any links or procedures provided in this guide, I just tested and compiled.
Thanks and best of luck.

Do I really need to flash official 2.3.6 before ICS? what if I wipe and format then install 4.0 immediately?

Might not work, though you can try, if it fails, do it my way, also its impossible to get any kind of root that way.
Link for the ATT Radio doesnt seem to be working
Great work!
wipe SD card?
Is this necessary?
I don't think it's necessary to wipe the SD card, I followed the procedure in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396913 and although it said my SD card would be wiped, everything was still there after I was done!
Anyone on a i9023 tried this?
Hmm...does "any version" includes M200(Korean Nexus S)?

I think he meant that for the 9020A radio
Link fixed, sorry for that, SD wiping might not be necessary, but I suggest as it makes it cleaner. Might work for I9023 and M200, I have no clue, maybe some experienced developer can answer that better.
Not to crap on a great tutorial, This is exactly what I would be looking for if I were not already set up and running. Last night was a dizzying whirlwind of flashing, high heart rates and finally becoming familiar with fastboot and flashing things like that.....lol
But in the end I simply found a cwm flashable zip without radio or bootloader and installed through cwm like any other rom. As far as root all I did was flash a zip file found on the forums and I was good to go.
Hi mine keeps hanging in the boot animation and can't get into recovery, what else can i do? Is my phone bricked?
little hiccup at step 12. im getting the android bot with exclamation mark but i press volume up with power and nothing happens. menu doesnt show up....
Edit: NVM... i pressed it 3 or 4 times and it finally worked

Many ways of doing it, I just am suggesting one, the flashable zip for ics isn't available as yet, what did you flash?
i9020 keeps getting status 7 aborted and my padlock is still unlocked on t-mobile 2.3.6
Has any tried this on an i9023? Thank u

Hey guys. This is my first post. Okay so I have a Iconia A500, running Lightspeed_4.5. I flashed this a while ago, I don't even remember how I rooted it. Here's one of the problems, I don't have any type of Recovery. I tried using the Acer Recovery app to put a recovery but that will not work. I just want to go back to STOCK with NO ROOT. Also i'm a noob at all of the stuff, so please make it simple.

Head to this thread and download one of the FULL packages HC or ICS take your pick...
Unzip it and extract the "update.zip" -
Copy to your external sdcard - it must be named update.zip not update.zip.zip!!
Power Off your tab
Hold volume down button and power on again
Tab should display "erasing data, erasing cache" and then begin the update process
If you have trouble unzipping, the file will need "decrypting" see that attachment for the decrypt tool...Your antivirus will see this tool as a trojan but don't worry its fine....run the tool and add your zip as input...in a minute or two in the output box - you'll see a "......decrypted.zip" . then you're good to extract the update.
Also make sure you use a FULL package not an Update package - i know the terminology is confusing - you want an update.zip from the FULL package, not an update from the update package
Hello...
So, me, a dumbass, decided to try to encrypt the phone while it was rooted... Everything went wrong, and on the first reboot it started rebooting non-stop(on the Asus logo)... I left it for some time but nothing changed.
I tried restoring a backup(system, data and boot), stays the same, tried restoring stock boot and reflashing the rom(ResurrectionRemix) but nothing changed. How do I solve this?
(Note that I have a backup of all stock ROM partitons, except the recovery)

Flash stock ROM
You can find stock rom (firmware) on ASUS website support page
Make sure you have your stock recovery installed too, and restore your rom

I solved by flashing stock ROM with Asus Flash Tool:
ASUS Drivers: https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-2-Laser-ZE500KL/HelpDesk_Download/ - Select Android OS, then go to "USB" and download the drivers
Website (tutorial on how to use it is linked there): http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2017/03/download-asus-flashtool-10045-for-zenfone-3.html
RAW firmware files: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ze...0a-z00d-z00x-raw-fw-collection-t3448966/page3
In case you don't want to check both RAW files, I posted here the versions of each firmware:
First link: WW_ZE500KL_V12.8.5.222_M3.6.42_Phone-user (Lollipop)
Second link: WW_ZE500KL_13.10.10.44_M3.6.51_Phone-user (Marshmallow)
If you get confused when you need to select the RAW file, go to the extracted folder and there will be it. (I got confused because the folder by itself was named .raw lol)... Also, don't delete any file, as you probably will need them one time later

By using that method you get everything back to stock. Simple answer: You get back stock ROM and recovery.
Today, I installed TWRP and rooted my device. I tried to install Xposed but I couldn't get passed the logo screen after rebooting. To try and fix this I did an advanced wipe and got rid of everything...
I know this was very stupid! TWRP is telling me there is no OS if I try to reboot. Is there a ROM I can install to fix this? I was on the stock MM rom and have L31 version.

I made the same mistake at some point, but managed to get it back up and running.
Download the correct version of "update.zip" for your phone.
In my case it is a L31C432 so I looked for a file called something like VNS-L31C432B160 (stock MM).
Download this (EU version) (if you have a L31C432)
Once the download is completed, rename the downloaded file to "update.zip".
While in Recovery on your phone, and it's connected to your pc, copy the "update.zip" to either the phone's internal memory or the sdcard (doesn't matter).
Grab your phone and go into "Install" in your recovery and find your "update.zip" file.
Slide and let it install it.
Once done, reboot.
Viola!

Excellent, thank you! For some reason I had no way of signing into my Google account with that version, however I found a previous version in another thread on here and that works perfectly. Thanks.
how to open the recovery mode ????
Hi, why when I try to install the zip it says invalid zip format? I'm trying to install it from a TWRP
