I'm slightly worried with Lenovo...last time I tried to upgrade rom from rooted stock Kitkat to stock lollypop, my phone got bricked.
I've never faced such silly issues with my earlier phones i.e. Samsung Galaxy 3 , Galaxy Nexus, Xolo etc.
I need a step by step process so that I can successfully go back to to stock and then take the phone to service center as there is some issue with Vibration

You post at the end of the year. People got their holliday
Ok, I'll try to help you.
Because you're using XOPLAX (LP), custom recovery (TWRP), and Lenovo A6000 Plus. Right?
I suggest you to flash stock LP.
The Steps:
Download stock LP ROM from HERE. (Latest S030). Save it to PC first.
Open your downloaded file (A6000-s_S030_151030_WCAF.zip) using extractor app, eg WinRAR, WinZIP, etc.
Extract file System.zip (The biggest file in A6000-s_S030_151030_WCAF.zip).
Open System.zip using extractor app.
Go To META-INF\com\google\android folder.
Replace update-script file with new update-script file (Link Below, Extract first). Save your System.zip
(Optional) Double check the update-script file. Make sure it has been replaced.
Save it (System.zip) to your external card.
Enter to custom recovery (TWRP).
Flash System.zip
FINISH
I hope this help your problem.

THIS GUIDE IS FOR ALL MIUI BASED ROMS WHETHER IT IS OFFICIAL, UNOFFICIAL(Xiaomi.eu,sphinx) OR MODDED(smiui).This is for the people who unlocked bootloader through the unofficial way.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/unlock-bootloader-waiting-permission-t3349886
People with officially unlocked bootloader can also try just to be on safer side...nothing to lose right?
Many people after unlocking their bootloaders flashed miui recovery/fastboot roms through twrp/miflash and got their device hardbricked with locked bootloader, which is a pretty messed up situtation, (follow this guide if you are a victim
http://en.miui.com/thread-245347-1-1.html
) and the only way to unbrick from that state is test-point method which voids warranty of course. Others who flashed fastboot roms with default recovery using miflash ends up with locked bootloader too, so I'm gonna share steps by which you can flash full recovery/fastboot roms and not get harbricked/locked bootloader:-
1) First let me tell you why it happens, every recovery rom zip file has a firmware-update folder containing a emmc_appsboot.mbn file, that file relocks bootloader everytime a full rom recovery rom is flashed, fastboot roms also have the same emmc_appsboot.mbn file.
2) To flash recovery roms through twrp, delete the emmc_appsboot.mbn file from the firmware_update folder inside the rom zip file, and then flash rom. Winrar works best, open the recovery zip file with winrar and open firmware-update folder and right click on the emmc_appsboot file and select delete, wait for it to complete(takes some time). For fastboot roms extract the download fastboot file and delete the file emmc_appsboot.mbn file from the images folder. Also in order to keep your desired recovery like TWRP intact, delete the recovery.img file. Edit :- Tested it on my Redmi note 3 pro, deleting only the emmc_appsboot.mbn file works, no need of deleting entire firmware-update folder.
3) To update roms, first download OTA through updater app (or download it from pc) and then open the OTA zip file (located inside downloaded roms folder) and delete emmc_appsboot.mbn file inside the firmware-update folder and then flash through twrp. OTA's can relock bootloader and hardbrick(as it happened in Mi4c).Can't flash OTA due to build fingerprint error? Follow this guide
http://en.miui.com/thread-262947-1-1.html
4) After flashing rom through twrp, flash modified boot.img specific for that miui version, or else you will get bootloop. Guide to make modified boot.img http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/creating-modified-boot-img-enabling-adb-t3359916
Original Boot.img is located inside recovery rom zip.For those who dont want to do it manually, link for downloading modified boot.img
http://miuidroid.com/rn3/boot_images/
(credits to magdag)
It is required to flash modified boot.img even if you updated through OTA.
P.S:- I've tested all this using my Redmi note 3 pro, should work on other devices too. Any suggestions for improving the guide is welcome.
If I helped pressing thanks won't cost you a thing.:good:
Can you update or post the modded boot image for latest SD 7.2.3.0 Stable global rom?
I have 7.1.8. global rom with officially unloced botloader and TWRP. If I want to install the update I just download the OTA from the updater app in my phone, then remove the emmc_appsboot.mbn and flash. Do I need to flash a modified boot image after that?

img file can flashed via TWRP, when you select install option on TWRP , look for "install image" option on right bottom part of screen, now select the modified img and then select boot and then flash.

Yeah you can use china dev rom for unlocking bootloader, and after that to upgrade to global 7.2.3.0 you need a full recovery rom, OTA wont work, also WHENEVER YOU DOWNLOAD A OTA/ROM OPEN IT WITH WINRAR, OPEN THE FIRMWARE-UPDATE FOLDER AND DELETE THE emmc_appsboot.mbn file or else you will hardbrick your device and the only wasy from recovering from it is by opening your phone

Hi , can you make sure again that China dev ROM will work in place of stable 7.1.8.0 without any problem ?
Also 7.2.3.0 which I've is full ROM i think it's "miui_HMNote3ProGlobal_V7.2.3.0.LHOMIDA_74136dde89_5.1.zip" and it is 0.99 GB in size.
So after unlocking bootloader , i can normally boot into current china dev ROM and directly upgrade to 7.2.3.0 through updater app with just emmc_appsboot.mbn deleted from it ?
I guess there is no need to delete boot.img as i still haven't flashed the twrp and root yet and will flash both of files after upgrading to 7.2.3.0 .
Plz tell if my steps are correct or not ?

What about you use the miui global 7.2.3.0 directly for unlocking bootloader the unofficial way? after that you can flash TWRP if you want, and you cant update using updater app, you have to update directly from TWRP.

Well to do that i have to download again the GB of flashboot rom of miui global 7.2.3.0 and i really have painful slow internet so thought of first unlocking bootloader and then later upgrade through Recovery zip file.
What do you suggest for best way as i just don't want to f**k up my device..
So if updater app can't flash the Official MIUI roms even with unlocked bootloader then what's the point of recovery ROM of different types such as global stable,beta china stable beta if you want to switch ROM's ?
Why in redmi note 3 there are so hurdles to switch /downgrade/upgrade ROM after unlocking bootloader ? I have done all flashing stuff on some other android phones too but there was never a risk for relock of bootloader and overwrite of custom recovery while flashing ROMS ..so why all this hurdles in Redmi Note 3 as it doesn't make sense to unlock bootloader after each and every upgrade /downgrade of ROM's or it is only due to the fact that it has been unlocked through unofficial way ?

===================================================
A few questions to help me clear my confusion ?
4.After flashing it will load you into the Rom = .184 stock rom from raw .184 ?
6.After that, our Full Rom, rename to update and sideload = .184 stock rom
Any particular reason why we would need to sideload stock .184 rom -- when we are in .184 stock before putting FOTA 6.0 to internal ?
is it patched the 2nd .184 ?
@Russiamen did you make modifications in the 'full rom' zip file, or is it the same zip file that we can download from Asus site?
And I have the same doubts that @timbernot 's ones.
There is an newer MM build (V4.21.40.78_20160624_7972). Could I flash it instead the provided FOTA?
do you have a download link for 78?
after this steps the rom will rooted or have to root it?
Thank you for your guide
but raw rom link has not any file for z00a
i found this
https://mega.nz/#!KsAmkYwD!Aci3fETLz0NwdIOqcr1Bf6pAi_MPQkolc15kuM50hAo
Trying to flash raw image didnt worked. Error attached
For Z008-https://yadi.sk/d/Y51bbCIZsVaMf this link not working plz fix this link there showing "nothing found"
The Raw link for Z00A says "nothing found," and the FOTA for the Z00A says it needs a decryption key.
So this guide is to update your bootloader to the marshmallow firmware. So you can install Marshmallow based ROMS?
The reason I'm asking is because i've Unlocked my bootloader and installed the latest version of TWRP 3.02.0 Z00A and I was on android 5.0 on stock ZenUI. I'm getting Error 7 everytime I try to install a ROM. I'm certain i'm installing the correct ROM for the device. I've also wiped the device, cleared the cache, ect. And still nothing. Any suggestions? Thanks for the help.
hello，my zenfone ze551ml might be going to upgrade to mm 6.0， please tell me is it marshmallow stock rom camera better than 5.0？ is it 6.0 have setting sd card become internal storage？ is it 6.0 have mass big storage not just mtp when connected to pc ？

This guide is to help you flash custom rom, like CM 13, in unlocked Android 6.0.
The point of this thread is to pack signature files into TWRP and boot.img so that we can boot from custom roms.
This thread won't be needed if TWRP/Custom Rom patch into MM the signature file in the future. For now, sorry for the mess.
1.Add signature to TWRP
a. Download your favorite twrp. The latest official twrp is doable.
b.Download and unzip the attached file: recovery_z00a.sig
c.Copy the above 2 files in the same directory.
d.Activate cmd window in your pc (window button + R, type cmd, Enter)
e.Add signature to TWRP in cmd window: (Suppose you put all files in c:\) , replace <twrp.img> with your TWRP file name.
Code:
cd c:\
copy /b <twrp.img> + recovery_z00a.sig recovery_mod.img
Now you will see a new file, recovery_mod.img created.
2.Add signature to boot.img
a. Unzip and extract boot.img from custom rom.
b. Download and unzip the attached file: boot_z00a.sig
c.Copy the above 2 files in the same directory.
d.Activate cmd window in your pc (window button + R, type cmd, Enter)
e.Add signature to boot.img in cmd window: (Suppose you put all files in c:\)
Code:
cd c:\
copy /b boot.img + boot_z00a.sig boot_mod.img
Now you will see a new file, boot_mod.img created.
3.Unlock MM6.0.
Refer to this thread. This is a 2 click unlock procedure. The device should be unlocked before we can flash twrp and custom rom.
4. After the device is unlocked, in bootloader, flash TWRP recovery now:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_mod.img
5. Boot from TWRP
6. Flash custom rom from TWRP
7. After done flashing custom rom in TWRP, flash boot_mod.img from TWRP.
Or, from bootloader:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot_mod.img
8.Reboot system.
*My suggestion is to put the revised kernel in SD card. Later on If you upgrade custom rom, it is easier to flash the repacked boot_mod.img again in TWRP.
god bless you
Thanks But is there any way I can add the signature in kernel and recovery in android without pc. Can I use those commands in android terminal?
Thanks,man

It won't be easy unless TWRP and Custorm Roms patch the signature files with them. Maybe we should wait after ASUS roll out its official release.
i try step by step and its work , i flash blurOS on my marshmallow based zenfone . thanks for your hardwork mate
Thanks a lot!!! I already wanted to throw this damn Z00A against the next wall, since neither 5.0 nor 6.0 were working flawlessly. But CM13 is fantastic! Best rom so far. Will never go back to stock.
delete
which rom do i use? can i use cm13 to get the boot.img file
Guys, I want to root my Z00A (MM beta -- .111 build). Is there a way without unlocking the bootloader?
Also I want to know whether the Asus official bootunlocker tool can be used in this MM .111 build so that I can flash CM13 instead.
Thanks in advance.

Hi. where I can find more modern sig keys? I make custom kernel for marshmallow and use old ramdisk from 4.21.40.61 firmware. If I take ramdisk from boot.img from newer firmware and tnen pack back into boot.img, then to sign boot.img, device can't start. I suppose the reason of this- incompatible key?
Hi,
How could I manually sign these files on Ubuntu-based OS? I'm no longer use Windows as my daily OS. Thanks.
Also: Could anyone provide MM final signature keys?

That's what I want to know. And, I want to know too if there is any ota for the marshmallow, and want to flash it, the bootloader needs to be relocked or not? And, dont need to un- systemless root+xposed, right?
Someone who uses MM beta before and succesfully flash ota with unlocked bootloader + systemless root and xposed can you confirm me please?
Sent from my ASUS_Z00A using Tapatalk
I used MM beta, and after that i update to MM ( .134 ) official Fw , and my bootloader was locked.
For unlock+root i used shakalaka metod in xda index.
At moment the last ota that you can find is .134 in Asus site , but i dont know if in future the new ota will relock bootloader
From the first time i was not able to upgrade my phone to another new version of Android.
The phone was bought on chinese store with Android version : WW V10.40.47.107 (Android MM)
When i checked availability of new versions, phone showed me no result available.
Then following instructions i unlocked bootloader and then install TWRP as recovery system.
I tried to install updates of ROM downloaded from Asus website using this methods with this results :
installing by TWRP with ROM transfered to internal memory of phone KO
installing by "ADB sideload" command KO
I partially resolved after many attempts updating only to Version V11.41.87.2 (Android MM)
I solved in this way :
i used TWRP installing from file transfered directly in microSD
i extracted from zipped file "updater-script" file that is possible to find in the following folder path :
META-INF > com > google > android
and then deleted this rows :
(!less_than_int(1494697617, getprop("ro.build.date.utc"))) || abort("Can't install this package (2017年 05月 14日 星期日 01:46:57 CST) over newer build (" + getprop("ro.build.date") + ").");
.....
getprop("ro.build.asus.sku") == "WW" || abort("Please use the right SKU for updating...");
.....
and then save file extracted and compress into zip file.
During TWRP install process i got some error updates, it seems connected to System folder/partition update
but at the end i was able to update Android to my phone
I tried to do the same method with an other update Version V20.32.67.25 i got a corrupted System folder/partition
It seems essential to update this phone to use original recovery system. Can anyone give it to me?
Or is there someone who has been able to install updates using TWRP without any error ?
Also after installation I wiped the Boot, System, Data, Cache partitions and then I restored from Nandroid backup done by TWRP.
But the phone did not start at the reboot.
I then had to reinstall the update with the method described above to get the working phone back
Why did Nandroid backup with TWRP not correctly restore the phone?
Many thanks to anyone can help me

There is a link to a rom in this post. In that zip you will find recovery.img. Flash it with adb, like you flashed twrp.
Then you can flash the last M official rom, and subsequently the first and last N roms.
That's the way I did it. I had to end up wiping data, to make it work correctly.
I'm also looking for a Nougat recovery.img.
I wouldn't like to go thru all the process again if there is another update.
Good luck.

i think you need flash full firmware bro ,
1. Download newer version firmware
2. You need Convert system.New.DAT to system.img
3. Move system.img and boot.img to minimal adb & fastboot folder
4. Open minimal adb & fastboot
5. Flash boot.img and system.img

Just to let you know I did this then downloaded each update from Asus website. You have to do it in order ie newest MM to oldest N to newest N. Takes a lot of time but it works. I now have N on my phone.

After 11 hours trying out finally solved!!!
I originally just wanted to do a factory reset, and swiped then not only data/cache, but unfortunally - because of lack of expirience - also system partition. After that all the problems occured like described above and partitionally in https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3/help/unbricking-zenfone-3-ze552kl-dm-verity-t3563970 (there was no OS anymore, twrp warned me this every time I wanted to power off, but I couldn't install the firmware again through fastboot neither through twrp -> install zip; have got error 7 or 6).

I have finally founded a solution!!! This is in FIRSTLY restoring original recovery and just then flashing the stock ROM. Here the steps to do for it:
a.) Download original stock rom (raw-version!) from https://cloud.mail.ru/public/HuMJ/wEybSNsQA (raw is to flash through AFT - asus flash tool) or from any other source you can find online; official name seems to be "WW-ZE553KL-20.31.49.2-MR2-user-20170620235128-release_raw.zip"
b.) Exctract and move recovery.img to your adb-folder on PC
c.) Boot your phone into fastboot/boot mode, connect to PC through USB-Cable
d.) Run cmd in adb folder, then type in the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
e.) Reboot and choose recovery mode - now you have no twrp anymore, but the original recovery menue
f.) Install update, which means, original stock from your sd-card.
Be happy!
It would be nice if you could give me feedback, whether my solution was helpful for you, because it took time to write it and hope it will usefull

Yes, I did it with my Zenfone 3 Zoom (ze553kl). So, you have firstly to flash the original recovery - to find, as described, in the raw stock rom zip archive. Or, you can find all original recovery's also here: (not tested by myself) https://mega.nz/#F!p90wgAaY!l1JbJilmAUEKTKWu43pT9w
Copy recovery.img to adb-folder, then flash it in fastboot mode in the cmd with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Also copy the original stock rom with Android N to your sd-card and put it into your phone.
Then reboot your phone into recovery - now you have no twrp anymore, but original recovery. Install now the zip with Android-N-stock-firmware from sd-card. Enjoy!

Boss ,
Thank you very much ...... Your solution absolutely excellent and work very well . I am very happy for your support . But unfortunately I found new problem on my phone ...... After update nougat a white line found on the display......
How can I solved it .......
Waiting for solution.......
Thanks again for your support ........
Glad to hear, that it worked for you as well. About white line I have no idea, but on other pages I have already seen somewhere, that other users also reported about this problem. Try to look at google "ze553kl update white line". You can also search a solution for ze552kl instead of ze553kl, because, as far as I know, the ze552kl (ZenFone 3, without "Zoom") is almost the same device, just with a little worse cam. Therefore, it seems to be longer on the market and to have more users, so there are also more solutions for problems which can occure to this device in the internet. Wish you a good luck!

Very helpful, thanks!
I must've messed something up when I flashed TWRP.
TWRP ran fine, but when I tried to start it up, it stayed stuck at the Android logo.
Then errors popped up when I tried to install the stock rom through TWRP.
I never would've thought or had the guts to restore stock recovery first.
This should get its own thread.
Edit: I think my mistake was unchecking "Mount system partition read-only."

After many days i finally found enough time to try to use your tips.
I tried to convert system.New.DAT to system.img but without success using this program Autotool 3.0
http://www.droidviews.com/convert-and-extract-system-img-and-system-new-dat-files-on-windows/
After this attempt i used a ROM provided by chinese store to flash its content :
system.img
boot.img
recovery.img
Original recovery.img is essential to install other updates.
After that i tried to install other updates recognized directly starting by phone but always without success.
So i have had to install updates using original recovery tool.
Now i got Android 7.1.1 last version installed on my phone but it's impossible to use
TWRP recovery tool.
Obviously it's possible to install TWRP instead of original recovery tool and also possible to make a nandroid backup
but it's impossible to use it to install original ROMs released from Asus and it's not possible
to use to restore nandroid backups.
Is it eventually possible to use a custom ROM ? If it's, which one and possibly compatible with TWRP ?
i solved issue of update, but TWRP ?

After many days I finally found enough time to try to update my Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom to Android Nougat.
To solve the issue, I used an original Rom from the Chinese store because it contains useful files for purpose without any conversion:
boot.img
system.img
recovery.img
I flashed all 3 IMG files.
Recovery.img that it's necessary to get original recovery without which any update can be done.
You must use a microSD and the original recovery tool to be able to upgrade your system.
The problem is that it does not seem possible to use TWRP. It is possible to install it in place of the original recovery and you can do also a nandroid backup but in practice you can not use it to install any updates and restore any nandroid backups.
Is there a custom rom that you can use instead of the original one?
