Hi, I do not speak English very well, but I'll try.
First go to the website of Asus, and download the firmware .. 184 or this link (http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Ze...user.zip?_ga=1.147549438.850793534.1463019251) and put the external SD Card!!!
NOTE: If your bootloader is similar to the image (with the blue letters ..), you just need to step 3 of this my turorial
ht*tp://www*androidheadlines*com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/asus-zenfone-2-google-howto-1.jpg (remove "*" again^^)
1. Go to this page (https://www.techmesto.com/root-zenfone-2/) and follow the steps of the second method..
1.1 Download Z00A_WW_2.20.40.184 version (https://mega.co.nz/#F!k4MHiAgL!dVuOKeH3eokcwPSNI79ffw)
1.2 Download and extract FlashTools (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3301263&d=1431011927)
1.3 Extract Z00A_WW_2.20.40.184_system_w_root.zip (for step 1.1) and put the "system.img" in the folder of FlashTools together with "boot.img", "droidboot.img" and "recovery.img"
2. Now follow the steps of the second method (https://www.techmesto.com/root-zenfone-2/), from step 7 to 11;
3. Also I was stuck in the bootloader after this procedure... BUT, you need to download this file (the first method): http://www.mediafire.com/download/v6m7n9j0gqins9b/CWM_Zenfone_2_Intel.zip;
3.1 And follow the steps from 1 to 9 (the first method): https://www.techmesto.com/root-zenfone-2/... EXCEPT: The steps include the root (you do not need the root ..)
3.2 When you are already in CWM recovery, only install the firmware 184 (of start.. of Asus) which is in the external SD Card ... and end ^^.
3.3 I recommend wipe data / factory after starting the device first time...
I have helped

If you end up bricked
.and you didn't do any crazy cmds in fastboot mode.
Check my signature
I had been running the MM beta up until this point. I just flashed the .184 RAW file. What made me go back you ask? I figured out that Google Opinion Rewards was not working. I can't live without that.
I can confirm that this method works for ZE550ML on mm beta .69 firmware. I downloaded AFT and flash RAW (Lollipop .149 firmware). Successfully downgraded bootloader unlocked and flashed CM13.
P.S. My status before downgrade was unrooted and bootloader locked and was on .69 mm beta build.

I found a one click bootloader unlock from xda. I downgraded to lollipop .149 firmware and the unlocked bootloader.
Here's the link for unlocking bootloader on lollipop
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/tool-one-click-bootloader-unlock-root-t3155884
Also there's a method by shakalaca to unlock bootloader in mm beta. I haven't tried it personally because many report that their phones got bricked and most of them could be recovered by xFSTK method.

Because that's a life saver for Z2 with Prerooted rom. That's the only bootloop fix exist here on xda for now. Can you try flashing without it at see if it boots? And report back here! Unless u wanna waste some times on re-flashing LP rom and rooting it again to get back on a rooted mm rom
Will previous D6502 patches work?
RICdefeat & byeselinux
Have you used byeselinux & RICdefeat in the firm compilation??
Or only the bootloopfix?

Yeah I saw some feedback on "23.5.A.0.575" build as well that some ppl didn't flashed bootloop fix and they got it boot.
But for me I'd to flash bootloop fix to get into os. I remember Last time when I was on MM build "23.5.A.0.570_R4D" I've like 350+ apps installed on my z2 and after a few weeks later Build "23.5.A.0.575" came out. And guess what I've flashed it without the bootloops fix and that's it, I got stucked on lockscreen and whenever I unlock my device it just reboot again & again, And I can't even boot to recovery. With a broken heart I've to flash LP rom again and root it and then flash the latest MM build. I just did't want to take that risk again this time, since I've now more than 360+ apps installed on my Z2. So It's upto All of u guys. U want to flash the old bootloop fix or not. Try and let us know Good Luck!
Yeah you need bootloop fix. The same thing happened to me but I just pressed volume button during the bootloop, I entered TWRP, connected to USB, copied bootloop fix and flashed it without reinstalling everything

Thanks for your work
flashing without a probleme
Hello
I had some problems with installing TWRP because there is no mirror for a flashable .zip file to our custom recovery. Also the flashing in ODIN caused a little headscrath but luckily some people of the forum helped me and i would like to help others - so here is a little guide.
Thanks to Bogeyof and another343.
Prerequisites
Stock device with stock recovery
Samsung drivers installed for your device
Download Odin above 3.09 (this guide is with 3.12) (others might work but i have best results in this version and above in general)
Download Odin TWRP Recovery (thanks to DJ_Steve) (It's linked in the attachements because of dead links in the other thread)
Download a custom rom of your choice (note the modelnumber of your device, ie. G800F)
1. Press and hold volume down, startbutton and power on button until the Samsung bootloader logo appears.
1. a. Now you are almost in download mode - press volume up once to be in download mode.
2. Plug the phone in with USB cabel.
3. Open Odin
4. Go to options (depending on the version) and remove the Auto Reset option but leave on the F. Reset time.
5. Press the AP button (depending on the version)
6. Find the recovery.tar.md5 file.
7. Make sure the phone is found in Odin (it will display in ID:COM and the Log)
8. Press Start (depending on the version) and it will start flashing - it will only take a couple of seconds.
9. Power down the phone and boot into recovery. (Volume up, startbutton and power on until logo appears)
Now you are in TWRP recovery.
I will update this guide at a later time. Any suggestions are valued. :fingers-crossed:
Can not get the TWRP 3.0.0
Where did you get TWRP 3.0.0, all the links I could find are dead.
One of the links worked shortly but i uploaded the file so you can get it.

Thanks, it worked perfectly!
No problem - i plan to upload Odin, etc. so everybody can have a working link.
Didn't work for me. Flashed. Odin showed that everything went fine but the phone still showing the green android picture and "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!"
If I power down and boot into recovery, I get the standard android recovery not TWRP..
: (
EDIT: My bad. Wrong buttons pressed. Everything is fine (I was doing Vol Down - Home - Power. Vol Up - Home - Power works)
Worst case
I could NOT believe that this guide promote the worst case!!!
Running Stock Rom (5.11 from sammobile G800FXXU1BPE3) plus CF-Auto-Root-kminilte-kminiltexx-smg800f.tar.md5 and recovery.tar.md5.
Backup by TWRP 3.0 runs perfect, but the restore of that backup caused a hang on the start screen forever!!!!!!!
I had to flash everything again, lost all data, apps and settings (ended up like a factory reset), cause even a data restore ended up with the same hang at the start screen. Pretty ****ty that recommendation!!!!!!!!
Can you explain some more (maybe google translate?) its hard to understand what you mean? It has worked fine for others.

Shure, tell me what you need to know (not just explain some more), cause all facts are mentioned!
What I mean is said as well - softbrick after restore!
If it worked for others fine, I gess they have not tried a restore, cause simply a backup by TWRP 3.0 is fine and does not show the disaster!!!!!
Here again:
S5 Mini - Lollipop 5.11 DBT Version (Germany) G800FXXU1BPE3 from Sammobile 2016-06-08
Rooted with unlocked Bootloader by Chainfire Version CF-Auto-Root-kminilte-kminiltexx-smg800f.tar.md5
all flashed by Odin
and than your Guide
TWRP Version recovery.tar.md5 downloaded from your guide side and flashed by Odin
So far no problem.
Backup by TWRP no problem.
Restore of that backup - softbrick!!! - phone hang on the start screen forever!!!!!!!
I can not make it more clear!

Hi RicSou,
Do you known any link for TWRP 2.8 (to flash with Odin) ???
Cause at the official TWRP side is no S5 Mini (G800F). Just S5 Neo, Plus, Qualcomm.
That's why I used the link from this guide side and I though that recommendation is fine (but it ended in a disaster).

TWRP 3.0 and 2.8 fails to restore nandroid backup... and I can not find the reason for the failure, restore someone without problems?
restore nandroid backup
Hi,
is there a version of TWRP that can restore a nandroid backup ? I just see a lot of problems with the TWRP recovery and nobody seems to be able to do a working restore on a G800F .
somebody ? with which version ??
I also tried TWRP 3.0 if I remember correctly posted by Steve and this recovery seriously destroyed my phone. I couldn't install any OS because most of time CRASH. I couldn't even turned on the phone again after installation of this file. - [ I ADVICE EVERY ONE TO NOT INSTALL THIS VERSION OF TWRP ] -
Greetings and Thank you G
Don't know if you have tried these https://aykevl.nl/android I have not tried them myself and not sure if they are the same as what has been posted before or even suitable ?

Too many 'greenshorns' publish untested guides, that's the problem!
The only backup app, which does the job absolutely perfect on a G800F is FlashFire!
At least with my configuration (mention before in that threat).
Chainfire is serious and FlashFire an awesome app.
The best investment I ever made (Pro Version).
Even with a bootloop (and without TWRP) the job is done within 30 minutes.
Just flash the firmware (from sammobile with Odin) root it (by Chainfire with Odin), install FlashFire and run the FlashFire backup.
That works perfect !!!
FlashFire can also restore its own backup by TWRP, but there is no official TWRP Version for G800F !!!
I have not tested that option yet.

Tanks a lot for your answer. I fully trust a Chainfire solution ( highest respected android guy ), and you have used it without problems .
So this will be my solution for backup/restore , I am going to buy flash fire right away.
Best regards
Dear hedgegee,
you have published that guide!
So let us know under which phone 'configuration' your superguide was working for you?
Have you made a restore by a TWRP backup ???
It is time for the truth now!
Like to hear from you.
Hi Dudes,
My S5 Mini won' accept the TWRP Flash with Odin. Whatever .tar i use, ODIN says "Pass" and after reboot i still get the original samsung recovery.
Samsung KIES is installed and disabled during installation. (for the drivers)
I used ODIN 3.10.6 and 3.12.3 and the linked twrp.
Any ideas?
Thx so far.
Adittional: My Samsung ROM is Nr. LMY47X.G800FXXU1BPE3 if i have to downgrade or smth...
EDIT: Problem solved. You need to flash CF-Autoroot first.

UPDATE: This is now unneeded because threr is a faster way ro unlock bootloader on official MM here, he updated for official MM
Hi, I discovered an unlock method for official MM!! This maybe long but's it totally safe
You need:
Adb and fastboot environment ready PC
LP RAW File
Android 6.0 Beta Unlock tool
Android 5.0 One-Click Unlock tool
First version of beta MM (Z00A) (Z008)
Official MM zip (find it on Asus site)
Thanks to all people upload these links
Just do the following:
Flash the lastest LP via AFT (using raw file given above), wipe all data. If you already on MM, you have to downgrade
Unlock your bootloader using 1 click tool given above
Boot to stock recovery and sideload the first version of beta MM
Unlock the bootloader using MM beta unlock tool above
Boot to stock recovery
Two case here:
Case 1: You can't boot stock recovery
Normally boot your phone (to Android)
Setup it as a new phone
If it shows there is a new firmware, don't update!!!
Enable Developer options, then enable usb debugging
Copy the official MM zip to external sd card
Open command prompt, run adb reboot recovery, accept the adb permission if prompted
After it boots to recovery, select Apply update from SD, then choose the zip file you've copied before
Wait for it to update, it may stuck at flashing splashcreen, don't worry, it's trolling you, may be Asus forgot to update the script
Goto step 7
Case 2: You can boot stock recovery
Sideload the official MM zip (adb sideload <filename>.zip)
Goto step 7
7. Flash this TWRP (fastboot flash recovery <twrp>.img)
8. Root your phone using this method
9. Reboot, if it shows "Your phone has failed verification bla bla..", then you've success. It may reset loop like note 7 in the first time start, don't worry.
9. Enjoy :highfive:
Note: If you're facing with battery problems on MM, factory reset it in Settings > Backup and Reset > Factory Reset > Erase everything
Successfully on my ZE550ML
The warning screen is normal so don't worry and there is no way to fix it for now
Reverse

Yes, BL will be relocked once you upgrade to MM.
If you want to unlock MM BL(6.0), refer to this thread.
Or you can downgrade to Lollipop referring to this thread. Then your BL(5.0) is unlocked.
Upgrade to MM
Hello folks!
2 week before MM was released i'ved opted to unlock my ZE551ML BL and therefore install twrp and a MM custom ROM..
so here´s the thing i stayed with the ROM for about 3 weeks and honestly..it works very well..but when i knew that 6.0 official was coming out i decided to go back to stock..i did it following manny tuturials avaliable for me to get my BL Re-Locked..but unsuccessfully..so i followed mr_gourav2000 tuturial (http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/development/stock-rom-ul-z00a-ww-2-20-40-168-t3354526) and reverted to the WW_Z00A-2.20.40.183-to-2.20.40.184 (hopefully i can get the sshot in this post) version...since my BL is unlocked i can´t get no updates..my question is:
Is there anyway to go to MM 6.0 by ASUS with the current status of my phone?
is there anything i can do to revert this??
Cheers to everyone

so here´s the thing i stayed with the ROM for about 3 weeks and honestly..it works very well..but when i knew that 6.0 official was coming out i decided to go back to stock..i did it following manny tuturials avaliable for me to get my BL Re-Locked..but unsuccessfully..so i followed mr_gourav2000 tuturial (http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/development/stock-rom-ul-z00a-ww-2-20-40-168-t3354526) and reverted to the WW_Z00A-2.20.40.183-to-2.20.40.184 (hopefully i can get the sshot in this post) version...since my BL is unlocked i can´t get no updates..my question is:
Is there anyway to go to MM 6.0 by ASUS with the current status of my phone?
is there anything i can do to revert this??
Cheers to everyone

Just download the update package and rename it to mofd_sdupdate.zip, copy it to internal storage. Then reboot to stock recovery, the update will automatically start. This should work if you have lastest stock recovery

Have you downloaded the correct build? There are build for MM bootloader, if you flash the normal builds, it will fail and reboot to recovery again. Gapps is the same for all builds
After you install that special build, do not update to newer nightlies, it will fail. For updates, check the link i give you and see if there is a new MMBL build.
About that, here is the post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68542370&postcount=8551
hello friend, I tried to install the CM13 ROM that indicated me and I get Error 7 in TWRP 3.0.2.0, I have Android 6.0 (.134) official and if I can change kernel and flash rom SuperSU but change with a new MM Blows I can not (CM13, AICP, beanstalk ....) thanks for your help!

Run the script again (i gave you in above post). Download the CM13 in that link, not in the OP of CM13 thread. Flash that CM13 and Gapps (Gapps is universal for MMBL and LPBL).
May be you have corrupt download, I'm currently running CM13 on MMBL

how u unlocked bootloader
Android 10 downgrade.
now the tools are available in realme website to unlock the bootloader...
install deep testing apk and unlocking the boot loader with the android 10 ( procuder will be found in realme website)
After the bootloader is unlocked......follow the procedure below..
second reboot to bootloader and flash the twrp recovery
and reboot using fastboot command itself
it will go straight to twrp recovery mode.
just give wipe data function which is default...
then flash the android 9 ozip , after that dont reboot to system
go back and flash the stock recovery from android 9 which is attached with this post and then reboot..
now you are back to android 9.
this method is working for me ..
after sitting many hours with stucked twrp recovery i just flashed the stock recovery and it get in to the device
Please read whats the state of my realme x2 pro so that you can understand what I have done.
I purchased the realme x2 pro 12gb/256 in the uk , it is shipped with the android 9, there was some OTA update and I had done that and the phone was still in Android 9 with some bugs fixed. Again I recheked the software update for Realme ui update but nothing was found.
So I headed to realme uk website and downloaded the Android 10 realme ui ozip , copied to the phone and updated. Now the phone was in android 10 with realme ui.
The software update is good but I don’t like the finger print animation and also I noticed a sight battery drain,but I am not sure if it was same like in android 9 , I mean the batter life. So decided to go back android 9 . so after so many tries and all finally downgraded to android 9 with the bootloader locked and widevine to L1 and google pay working. Now all stock and all finger print this and that working !!!
Downgrade procudure :-
Backup All the things that are required, All will be wiped.
1.First thing is to unlock the bootloader in Android 10 because of I updated to android 10.
Follow this link below , download the deep testing apk and unlock the bootloader.
https://c.realme.com/in/post-details/1253651898825703424
2.Make sure you all had the proper working adb drivers in pc and android bootloader drivers,
After completing the 1st step , Download the twrp from the link below:
I downloaded the one in this name TWRP 3.3.1-13 Unofficial by mauronofrio
https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...covery-unofficial-twrp-realme-x2-pro-t3997879.
How to flash twrp in realme x2 pro follow this guide below:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-x2-pro/how-to/guide-unlocking-bootloader-to-getting-t4010189
follow the procedure above and until flashing recovery and don’t flash vbmeta and all
3. Download the Android 9 firmware with stock recovery , this was the lastest one I dowloaded from xda
(https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-x2-pro/how-to/rmx1931ex11a-10-available-t4059607)
4.Downloading stock recovery :
https://sourceforge.net/projects/rmx1931ex-stock-files/files/RMX1931EX_11_A06_GLOBAL.zip/download
download this zip file and use only the recovery.img after unzip , this is the only file we need from this folder
Second part:
I Assume the bootloader is unlocked , the device wiped and rebooted to os , copy the ozip in the and stock recovery in internal memory, we might need to use this for later.
now flash the twrp using the guide above and reboot to twrp recovery.
In twrp install the android 9 ozip that we downloaded in the phone memory , after it flashed don’t reboot.just go back and flash the (recovery.img) from twrp itself and choose the path recovery and flash , after that the phone will reboot and it will go to stock recovery. Then give a wipe in the stock recovery and reboot. Now you are back to stock android 9.
Now we are in android 9 with the unlocked bootloader. That’s all.
For those who needs to lock the bootloader read the information below
Check the stock recovery version number ( if it shows rooted near the version number) if it says rooted don’t relock the bootloader. From the phone just run stock ozip again and let it boot in to os, after that again check the stock recovery if rooted string is gone. If it is gone now you are good to lock the bootloader.
Because with unlocked bootloader the google pay is not working so for me locking the bootloder is important for me , also I checked in the device info that widevine is change back to L1.
dont lock bootloader with twrp recovery
where can i get in depth test for global version ?
and did i lose the fingerprint after unlocking bootloader?
Where is the stock recovery that you attached? Can u show step by step with more detail explaination?

Is there something wrong with Android 10?
Or why downgrade to 9?

- More battery long lasting on A9, perhaps more services are running in A10 rising power consumption or not well updated.
- In early versions of A10 call recording was capped due privacy rights. With the last update C.26 I can record calls but not tag the records accesing to the contacts list.
- Also in the last C.26 update of A10, you can take RAW photos in 'expert mode'.

Thank you for the info.
Just upgraded, first there was an odd connectivity issue, every GPS fix loss, deactivated mobile and WiIfi for 5 seconds
After turning Smart power savings mode off and on, the issue disappeared.
About raw mode: Odd raw mode that does not save in 64 MPix

Thanks bro...i downgraded to color os and now it ia running smoothly..
This method works with RMX1931 (CN version)? Because i see that the recovery used in the op is for RMX1931EX
Thanks for ur help But is there a way to get a stock recovery for Chinese version ?
Are you sure that we don't have to flash vbmeta.img.because somewhere i have read that if i don't flash vbmeta my phone will be dead
will still working on CN Rom based devices?
Even after installing the ozip from phone my recovery says rooted! Anyway to change that or remove the root?
