Hey guys, definitely new to this, haven't flashed a rom since I had a HTC Droid Incredible about five years ago. My brother just helped me root my phone and install TWRP, except when we go to look at flashing a new rom it states that you need TWRP 2.8.6.3. We are currently running 2.8.5.1 I found the 39A bootstack which supposedly includes TWRP 2.8.6.3, but I'm lost when it comes to how to flash this bootstack with the updated TWRP. Can anybody provide instructions, or a link to a previous thread? I did try using the search bar, but when you search "how to flash bootstack" the results are overwhelming because almost every post has the word "how," "flash," or "bootstack."
Really appreciate the help!

Interested in this as well. I've just started with the LG G2 and am at the same point. How do we go about flashing a boot stack? Does, as @amcleod1995 stated, the boot stack include the newer version of TWRP? Can someone provide a step by step tutorial or a video maybe? Thanks in advance! Here are the steps below we took to root and add recovery.
We both have our phones rooted following:
1. Root - http://forum.xda-developers.com/andr...vices-t3049772
2. Recovery ( TWRP) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/veri...-twrp-t3053134

Very simple, update twrp manually from blastagator's website, reboot to recovery , flash bootstack zip, reboot to recovery and the flash anything that requires it (ie: CAF roms) . Now you're on the latest bootstack (bootloader, modem and everything else that comes with it).
I'm in twrp right now (wiped the system)

Sure can.
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

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

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

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
Okay guys first let me tell you why I have created a new thread just for updating the BL and Firmware ,
I know we already have methods of updating like:
1. flashing the full OOS3 zip through stock recovery ,this method is quite simple for the ones who are on stock recovery and just want to update their OOS version.If you fall in this category then you have no purpose here,you may leave.
2. Is method provided by our fav helping hand @Joshwin Aranha ,that method is sure for the rest of us who dont fall in the above category,but is way too long,although simple and effective still "long".
I created this thread to help the CM13(Official or Sultan's)//any custom rom using new BL,users who want to update their BL without flashing the OOS through the tedious way just to update BL and users who are stuck on bootlogo due to old BL with roms using new BL.
Here I will guide you through the required steps to update our bootloader "In easiest and fastest way without wiping and restoring anything".
So what are we waiting for ,lets start .
Prerequisites
you will need two files for this process,nothing else.
1 . First one is BLUpdater zip --->Here.
2. Second is TWRP compiled from latest sources use either This or the one from Here<--use v41 or use Sultan's from Here OR if you are Martin's fan like me and want to use his MutiRom TWRP goHere.
PS:I am assuming you have Unlocked Bootloader and have either
official/blu_spark/sultan's/ Multirom TWRP installed,in a working condition on OOS2.x BL(if not what are you doing here).
Note: make sure oem unlocking is checked in developer options in your current rom,else updating the BL may cause it to get locked ,and you will have to unlock it again and flash the recovery manually through fastboot itself.
Now the steps
1.First copy both of the above files in your sdcard or otg or ext-sdcard,any place accessible in recovery.
2. Now boot into recovery Choose Install and choose the "OPXBLUpdateOOS3.1" zip and flash it.
3. Don't reboot now ,go to Install again ,this time use "Install Image" button in lower right corner,navigate to folder where you copied the new TWRP,you should be able to see the file,select it ,choose recovery in the next menu and flash.
NOTE:If you chose to use Sultan's recovery.zip then just flash it normally.
4. Don't reboot come back to TWRP home ,goto reboot and recovery ,if TWRP says no OS installed ignore it.
Now voila you should have updated your firmware/BL.Congrats.
You can now install any rom that supports the new BL.Older roms won't boot on the new MM BL.So check the rom thread before installing the rom and later on quacking here about your device being stuck at bootlogo.
Notes
i)Neither I nor XDA will be responsible if your OPX bricks or explodes or ditches you and flies to space.
ii)We are not touching system partition so last installed ROM will be intact.
iii)This guide will leave you into bootable rom only if you have a rom installed that works on latest firmware.
iv)This can also be used to restore all your OPX partitions back to OOS3.x partition state,if you messed any.
v)In case you are using latest nightly (cm13) and face bootloop - go Here
psst:If you are not diggin the new BL,and wanna downgrade again ,back to old BL,check this post.
PS: (second one,I know) This guide was made by taking inspiration from Joshwin's post and devtry method.

No it wont,right now almost all the custom roms need to update to support new firmware.Only latest cm13 nightlies are booting now,also aosp compiled by olddroid for new BL(shh its only for testers right now)
also maybe the MIUI8 port ,just posted in the forums.
I'm a litte bit confused.
Currently I'm on nighty October 1st. (cm-13.0-20161001-NIGHTLY-onyx.zip)
Can i update the Bootloader with your method and after that booting up my current nightly version?
Or do I have to update after the bootloader update to nightly version 12 (the currently latest)?

no update the BL using the steps above ,then flash the latest nightly.That way it would be good.
Or you can flash nightly first then update BL.Choice is yours.I recommend updating the BL first.
I followed your guide with a locked bootloader, and now I'm in bootloops . Just suggest you put a big red "make sure your bootloader is unlocked" in the steps, not in the footnote.

Thanks! I actually relocked my bootloader not long after installed cm13, and disabled "unlock oem" in "developer settings"(I don't know why I did this). So both system and rec is inaccessible, and fastboot is useless in this case. Fortunately I followed the unbrick guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-hard-bricked-t3272108 and get the old bootloader back. Now I could enter CM13-09-28 with all my data intact.
Just hope to let people know the hard lesson I learned, and how to deal the bootloops.
And guys, NEVER RELOCK BOOTLOADER AGAIN!

taking you wanna flash ashwins cm14 right. You just wanna follow the instructions in first post and then flash the cm14.No need to install the whole Oos zip.
This way you should have updated BL and working cm14.
Just flash the cm14 after booting into new TWRP
I've just followed the procedure from OP and all went smooth as butter. Thanks
Directly after that (without reboot) I've installed the latest CM13 (with GApps) and Arsenic R24. Working as a charm

I will recommend you to first upgrade your Android version to lollipop with latest firmware version ww-3.24.40.87 .
After upgrading, root your device and after that unlock your bootloader.
For rooting method, search in Asus zenfone 5 forum.
And for unlocking bootloader you can visit this link below-
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5/general/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-safely-t3562640
After unlocking bootloader you need to flash the TWRP Recovery. You can unlock bootloader and install twrp together in just one click. For that just visit the above link provided.
Now I'm assuming that you have rooted your phone and also your bootloader is unlocked and latest twrp is installed. So now head over to "Android development" forum of zenfone 5 and search for Resurrection Remix 5.8.2 by tank0412. This ROM is stable and also the developer is providing weekly updates.
I hope that this will help you out.

Yes. T00F and T00J both are same.
Just download it from official Asus website.
Just remember your SKU which is ww, tw, or cn.
To check your SKU, go to settings - about phone - and there check which firmware you have officially.
If you have WW firmware then you have to download ww firmware from the Asus website.
Eg. WW > WW
TW > TW
CN > CN

If your phone is rooted and you have successfully unlocked the bootloader with TWRP installed then now you are ready to install the custom nougat ROM. No need to upgrade your android version with stock firmware. Just proceed forward and follow what I'm saying -
Click here to download Ressurection Remix v5.8.2 nougat ROM
Visit the above link and download the RR ROM.
After downloading the RR ROM, now you have to download the GApps Pico 7.1 x86
Click here to download GApps
Put the downloaded ROM zip file and GApps zip file in your external memory card.
Now steps for flashing the ROM -
1. Reboot to recovery.
2. Go to Wipe section - Advanced Wipe, and then select the cache, dalvik cache, system, data, internal.
After selecting the above, now swipe to wipe.
3. After wiping, go back to wipe section again and tap on "Format Data", and type "yes" and press ok.
4. After formatting completed, go back to main screen and then go to Install section, and locate the ROM zip file. Select it and swipe to flash.
5. Now your ROM is flashed, so go back again and select the GApps zip file and swipe to flash.
6. Now flash the SU Addon (If you want the root access) (OPTIONAL) If you don't want then you can skip this step.
7. Now your ROM and GApps both are flashed, so now go back to main screen again and then go to reboot section,then select "REBOOT SYSTEM"
That's It. You have successfully flashed the new nougat ROM.
First boot will take approx. 5 - 10 mins.

It's mine pleasure.
If you get any problem then you can ask me anytime.
I would like to share my experience while install RR on Zenfone 5.
I wiped as per the instructions.
When install RR file, I got following error:
E: Failed to sysMapFile .................
Error flashing zip.
Another information is that recovery is Pinaslang version 2.8.6.0.
I think recovery based on TWRP.
I need quick help to overcome the trouble situation.

You cannot flash nougat ROMs with twrp 2.8.6 ,.... As you will end up with several errors so better switch to latest twrp I.e twrp 3.0 xx versions by xanwar . after that you can follow juyels method of flashing the ROM .
Download the twrp version from below link .
1:If you downloading zip file then flash through your old recovery and reboot to recovery .
2: if you downloaded .IMG file then flash through fastboot using the below code
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <filename>.img
Link for latest twrp : here
Dear Friends,
Finally, I could successfully installed RR.
Your suggestions are very timely and helpful.
After installation of TWRP 3, RR installed without any problem.
Thank you again, brothers.

Anyway, @Boomshiva has already helped you out. And also you have flashed the nougat ROM successfully. So now enjoy your new nougat ROM. ?

That's great.
I'm glad to hear that from you.
Keep enjoying
Hey guys, first of all sorry about my english, im french.
So my problem is: I tried rooting my Axon 7 A2017U many times, with different guides. I always end up with a softbricked phone, having to restore to stock using MiFlash.
My bootloader is unlocked, i have stock recovery and stock rom for now.
Whenever i flash TWRP, either the signed one (from @tenfar) or unsigned (and up to date) ones, i can't go past the menu saying something like "your phone cant be checked for corruption, please lock your phone [...]" it just freeze. i did read somewhere that i should flash chainfire's root or a special .zip that, i guess, disabled some check that could prevent booting a phone with unsigned stuff/edited system (after flashing TWRP, so it could boot) that didn't work out. i think i found that information in some LineageOS thread here on XDA.
My ultimate goal would be to get a rooted stock nougat 7.1.1, up to date TWRP recovery and to be able to switch to LineageOS to try it out soon.
For what it is worth, i rooted many phones over the years, so while i'm no expert, i should be able to follow most of the steps you give me.
Thanks alot!
What version of TWRP did you flash first?
I have the same root problem i can not install in twrp install in twrp ok but su application displays no root cause i have latest twrp

Okay. Download and flash this one alone via fastboot and see what happens. This is one the I personally use. It is required for any of the newer versions to work properly.
twrp-3.0.2-2-a2017u.img
You can choose to rename it to just recovery.img, then:
1. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
or
2.
if you choose to work with the same filename:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-2-a2017u.img
Select reboot to recovery from the bootloader menu now and try again.
Either way, should work fine. I know you mentioned you knew the basics, but just want to be sure.
Also forgot to mention. If TWRP works but you still can't get your phone to boot, you need to follow this guide here
You can start from the part that says:
-----------------------------------------------------
UPDATING FROM B20_Boot / B20 / B27 / B29 / B15(N)
-----------------------------------------------------
Again, that's the ROM I personally use if I want to go back to stock, not the one from the ZTE site.
Gonna try it and give feedback. thanks for taking time to help!
edit: im downloading the rom from the link you shared.
like you said, i can get TWRP to boot but not the phone.
So if i use full stock from ZTE, it can't boot with modified recovery?
edit 2: i don't know what worked, i think it might be the bootstack. or the rom by DrakenFX. now i can boot to the rom with a TWRP recovery installed. It worked, but i soft bricked again trying to flash SuperSU. So now i'm retrying with an updated TWRP.
I haven't tried that yet, but I really suspect that's the reason you're having problems. I rarely use pure stock ROMs. Like you, I'm not an expert in Android Development so I can't tell you why. Just been a flashaholic for years so made a few observations.
Which supersu are you installing? If you're swiping to the right in twrp, you need to install the dm-verity zip or supersu 2.79. There's some issues with newer builds.
Everything is working like a charm! Now im going to finally give lineageOS a try
I used Chainfire's SuperSU 2.79 stable.
Edit : Everything is working flawlessly! I'm running the lastest LineageOS nightly with root (Chainfire's 2.79). Followed their instruction and installation was smooth as butter. I should also point out i flashed the lastest official TWRP which seems more stable than the one @KwesiJnr suggested. The one he suggested was giving me some "can't read X partition" in red text everywhere in the log section, which the official one doesn't do. It was doing his job properly anyway though.
I can't thank @KwesiJnr enough, it helped me find the single mistake i was making.

Yeah, like I mentioned before that was the base TWRP you needed to flash first, before any of the newer ones. You weren't intended to use it indefinitely.
There's a lot of Dev love for our device now and support is growing ... exciting new ROMs cropping up. Don't hesitate to try them out.
