Hi, I was trying to flash back to stock using the utility for the RAZR M. I was able to successfully flash back but then the OTA update stuck me in AP Fastboot Flash (s). The only screen I can get to says:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)
10.9B(*)(sha-1e9f557,2013-05-24 14:49:34)
eMMC Info: Size 8GB
Device Is LOCKED(I did unlock this no idea why it is saying locked), Status Code:0
BatteryK
Connect USB
Data Cable (or USB Connected)
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
Failed to hab check for gpt_backup:0x35
failed to load GPT
CID Read Failure
Invalid CID Status 0x69
This is the only screen I have been able to get to. I have looked around and haven't found any answers. Anything is appreciated.

How to flash Zenfone 5 by using Odin

I have an Asus zenfone 5 which was bricked and for some reason sideloading from the adb stopped after installing 54% of the firmware so I decided to go for cynogenmod, which was sucessfully flashed. I now want the old stock android back and dont know what to do. If i use ADB again after 54% it will just stop and I tried using TWRP too but it said wrong version and all.
I want to know if i can use ODin to flash my device and if yes then how?. Also in odin im required of an md5 file which i dont know where to get. I have a lollipop firmware and please tell if i need more than that or not.

ODIN is only for Samsung phones.

Thanks for the info. I haven't checked it how it will go but at the end I still have to sideload my lollipop update right. That it the problem here since adb always stops at as I reach 54% of the installation. Is there any other way to update to lollipop and the end when your guide finishes?
And thank you for replying

Yes. Just download 3.23.40.60 firmware, extract recovery.img from the firmware .zip, boot to Droidboot, flash the recovery.img, reboot to recovery, then sideload the firmware. That's it.

i have the same problem in a501 cg

I had the same issues but I resolved it
U must have the latest adb tools
U must have recovery image of .52 not .60 (lollipop )
.60 firmware ,
First flash the fastboot from .60 firmware ( It will be droidboot)
Then flash the recovery (.52 recovery )
Reboot into recovery then sideload the .60 firmware ( in case the sideload fails try to relock bootloader then sideload the firmware .)
After that u can manually update to .78 and .87 fimwares respectively . @zaris47 try this as I mentioned and plz google for the files .

i was using .78 and now can't get back to droidboot of .78 (lollipop)

Try flashing RAW firmware....its the easiest and safest way to do...
Somewhere around the threads, there is a windows cmd prompt based script created by dgadelha(or tank0412, i forgot ?) which allows u to flash the rom in just a single click......try to search it...I'll post the link if i got that post...
Also,note that RAW fw for A500CG also works for A501CG,but only via this script ,not Asus flash tool apllication(only works for a500cg)...

thanks for the advice, lokking forward for your next post

There is no RAW fw specifically for a501cg and aft doesnt work with a501cg...
however , raw firmware for a500cg works for a501cg too.....use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65367132&postcount=2
Credits to dgadelha
some changes to be made hin the guide:-
Extract the contents too from the raw file to the same folder and also keep the raw file with it...
try running the command file "NOT" as administrator...
hope it helps

Sorry for the late reply, so i did ask all of you suggested and im stuck at dgadelha.
The adb wasn't taking the sideload even though i flashed the recovery and droidboot.

Looks like a Dev ROM to me. Your bootloader is unlocked?

My phone has always been stock. No bootloader, root, nothing... My current rom I found here. It seems official..

You should unlock your bootloader and flash ROM via fastboot. That will upgrade your phone to 6.0. Would you like directions on how to do that?

You have to unlock bootloader before you can use fastboot mode to unbrick. The SN in settings - about - phone status is the right one. give it a try again or pm me needed details so I generate the unlock code for you.

For me, this ROM has reported problems. It could be the reason for the failed flash.
I do not think of being able to access the internal memory (with USB) to replace the ROM.
I thought that I can:
1) to performed hardreset (vol+-power, EMUI menu)
2) To put another rom on an external memory
3) Do unbrick again
What you think?
but I check now, Your rom is perfect.
I don't know what to do anymore

Roll back to emui from any custom rom for all honor devices
This method will work.

Step 2:
Extract that package and place it to the internal or external storage of your device.
Step 3:
Switch of your phone.
Step 4:
Press the power button+volume up+down at the same time.(just 5 to 10 seconds)
Then it will automatically update the emui on your honor device......
Thank you guys

[ZE552KL/Z012DC] Canadian Thread - Unlock, Root, Update to Nougat

This thread will be for the Canadian version of ZE552KL, and will be updated with specific info relevant to Z012DC model found in Canada (Canada Computers, Staples, other retailers). It has WW SKU number.
It took me a while and some searching to figure all steps out. I also modified Asus N and M firmware to remove version checks. Without this step - i was stuck with error 7 in TWRP. The only difference between Z012D and Z012DC seems to be in Fastboot and ADB drivers, TWRP recovery, system images seem to work well so far.
Steps:
1. Download Fastboot and ADB Drivers. For me usb driver on ZE552KL Asus download page didn't work. Select "Only install driver", you do not need to update your drivers via DRP.
Fastboot driver (for Vendor VID_18D1&PID_D00D): http://drivers.drp.su/Telephone/Hua...03.00/Huawei-FORCED-Allx64-2.00.03.00-drp.exe
ADB Driver (for VID_18D1&PID_D002): http://drivers.drp.su/Telephone/Leshcat/WinAll/Leshcat-WinAll-drp.exe
2. Save the following files on your External SD Card:
Modified M image UL-ASUS_Z012D-WW-13.20.10.152-user.zip
Modified N image UL-ASUS_Z012D-WW-14.2015.1701.8-user.zip
SuperSU - latest version from here
no-verity-opt-encrypt-5-1.zip. Give thanks to @kaffeine1 , without him - we would all be stuck with black screens
3. Save ADB and Fastboot files on your computer, and extract; give thanks to @snowwolf725
4. Download newer recovery (TWRP 3.1.0) from here
5. Unlock bootloader via unofficial unlock method; give thanks to @snowwolf725
6. Get into fastboot by turning off the phone, and pressing volume up + power. Install recovery that you downloaded in step #4:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.0-0-Z012D.img
7. Follow the steps this guide by @kaffeine1 . Skip the steps of downloading Nougat and Marshmallow firmware from Asus site, as you have already downloaded and saved both firmwares in Step #2 . Also skip the last step - do not reboot into Nougat, but go back to fastboot mode.
8. Root Nougat - follow steps under #2 here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3/how-to/twrp-recovery-3-0-2-root-zenfone-3-t3569926
How to update to the latest version of OS:
1. Go to Asus Site, download latest WW image UL-ASUS_Z012D-WW-14.2020.1703.28-user.zip
2. Extract UL-ASUS_Z012D-WW-14.2020.1703.28-user.zip\META-INF\com\google\android\updater_script , edit, remove first two lines, and put back into the zip file (e.g. using 7zip)
3. Extract from above zip file boot.img , and flash it via: fastboot flash boot boot.img
4. Flash recovery: fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.0-0-Z012D.img
5. Reboot into recovery, and flash:
- Firmware that you modified in #2
- no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip
- Latest SuperSU
- Rooted.zip (from step #8 above)
6. Reboot mobile, and enjoy new version!
Phone info as purchased:

i was trying this because i wanted to upgrade fw to 7 and trying to unlock bootloader to flash twrp for backups...
I tried original Asus UL-ASUS_Z012D-WW-13.20.10.131-user and gave strange error after check... this fw is for "WW_Phone" and this phone is ""
but after reestart i got OTA updates... now my ZE552KL-Z012DC is in 7.0....
i can live with that, only problem for me is adb backups, i prefer twrp.
thanks
P.D. what pusles me is why getprop("ro.product.name") returns empty sting????

I noticed that in some cases TWRP doesn't "stick", and gets overridden by default bootloader. Specific check is essentially useless - just to prevent flash of improper image. Just remove the check in the new FW, or use modified FW that has the check removed. I think in your case you can just re-flash TWRP since your bootloader is unlocked?

I tryed several TWRP 3.02 and 3.10 if a boot imge ... if entered bootloader with volum key + power it says all ok but booting never happens... if i enter bootloader trough adb it stucks until i disconnect and reconnect usb cable. when trying to flash. fast boot returns error not have permision and side load error secttion 7 on UL modified or else footer w
error after passing check. i shall try modiffying UL 13.20.10 and see what happens

flash modified images through twrp - with links in OP

Well my wife liked the phone so much, that she "kindly requested" me to gift it to her... now she is the proud owner of a canadian vertion of ZE552KL and i got myself a ZS570KL
thanks a lot for all your help.
P.D. : i think she was not happy with the time i was spending with the device.

I know this is going to sound super dumb, but the unofficial bootloader unlock still triggers the bootup message and voids the warranty, right?

This might be even dumber... But my guess is that the official app to unlock boot loader, does more than unlock,
My guess is that it also register with asus mobile, the fact that for your device has been unlocked...

That's what some manufacturers do, like Motorola and HTC. But from back when I unlocked the BL on my Zenfone 2 Laser, I remember that all it did (as far as I could tell) was unlock the bootloader and set a flag in the bootloader that made it say it was unlocked that couldn't be reversed. No need for fancy registration systems when you can just boot up the phone and take a look.

What was modified in your N-image firmware file? There is now a newer version that I'd like to install. Can you provide an updated modified file for version WW-14.2020.1703.28 or give the steps needed to modify it myself?

Updated OP with instructions regarding how to upgrade to the latest version of N - just tested steps myself. Should be applicable to all future versions of N posted on Asus site. Enjoy!
