Hy guys! As you might noticed, the links in the OP which are pointing to the official files on the CM server don't work any more thanks to CM. I was sure this will come, but i still wanted to use the official links as long as they are working. I would change the links to my mirrors in the OP, but @Spannaa already made mirrors in his thread: Mirrors for official CM11S roms & OTA updates. I don't see any reason to have 2 threads with mirrors of the same files, so i taught I would keep this thread as a discussion on how to use those official files. I will modify the OP in the coming days accordingly.

I will keep the OP as it is for now, and I will modify it a little in the coming days!
Hy guys, i have seen posts about different versions of CM11S, but I haven't seen a collection of them. I collect all the stock images i can, so i taught i would share it with you guys. As the thread title says, these are official and untouched images of the stock CM11S. I share the official links where it is available. I will share four kind of files:
1. Recovery flashable zips of the complete ROMz: these are the oldschool .zip images that you can flash through recovery.
2. Fastboot images of the complete ROMz: these are fastboot.zip files, that should be used through fastboot. You need to set up Android SDK for fastboot on your computer and you also need to unlock your phone's bootloader in order to use them. For setting up the Android SDK and unlocking your bootloader, please follow this guide: [GUIDE] OnePlus One - How to Unlock Bootloader, Install Custom Recovery and Root, until you complete the first step: 1. Unlocking Bootloader. After that you have to put the fastboot.zip file into your platform-tools folder (its explained in the previous link), and extract it there, but also keep the zip there because you need that too. After that, you may follow the instructions of the Open Post of this thread: CyanogenMod 11S.
Note: The conventional fastboot oem unlock which unlocks the bootloader will wipe your phone. You can make backup before that with Helium app or through adb. Neither of them requires root.
Note: The last command in the CyanogenMod 11S thread's open post is:
Code:
fastboot update -w cm-11.0-XNPH25R-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip
The command will wipe your phone because of the "-w" option.
Note: if you get the error message during flashing in fastboot:
Code:
FAILED (remote: data too large)
Then you are probably not on the latest Android SDK with the latest required tools: Android SDK Tools, Android SDK Platform-tools, Android Support Library, Google USB Driver.

3. Stock kernel images: these are .img files of the stock kernel images. You can flash these in fastboot like this:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
If the filename is for example g7389215.img then it looks like this:
Code:
fastboot flash boot g7389215.img
4. Latest OTA incremental update zip: I will also share the latest OTA zip file. The CM11S OTAs are incremental updates, that means you need to be on the latest version before applying an update. Incremental means it only updates the changed files since the last update.
So for example the latest OTA ATM is XNPH33R. Before that was the XNPH30O. If you want to use the XNPH33R OTA zip you need to be on XNPH30O, because that is the latest version before the XNPH33R OTA (check reference table below). If you apply the OTA on an earlier version (for example, XNHP25R), the installation will be aborted most probably. Or if you succeed with the installation, it will break stuff most probably.
You can also grab the latest OTA update zip after you recieved the OTA file and downloaded it. You can find it in the cache of your phone and you will need root access. If you want to make a copy you should do so before you install the OTA.
Wipe the cache then you can flash the OTA update zip through recovery.
Reference table
ROM version / release date / kernel version
XNPH22R / 2014.06.06. / dunno
XNPH25R / 2014.07.03. / geb9c0a5
XNPH30O / 2014.08.11. / g7389215
XNPH33R / 2014.08.21. / g0ad30e5
XNPH38R / 2014.10.07. / g33fa374

2. Fastboot images of the complete ROMz:

3. Stock kernel images:

XNPH38R / torrent magnet mirror
4. Latest OTA incremental update zip:

Also here are the previous OTA incremental update zips:
same rule, check reference table, only use it if you are on the latest previous version! Its incremental.
XNPH33R
XNPH30O
Njoy!

Thanks was waiting for something like this.
While I appreciate this, the 33R Kernel isn't working... I tried flashing with fastboot and no go.... I'm on 33R from OTA. I'm rooted and I currently have Franco Kernel installed... (And TWRP recovery)
To reiterate, it flashes fine but when I go to boot up it stays at the One+ logo screen
How did you try it exactly?

You are right, the file is broken, I'm sorry. I'm going to update the OP soon with working kernel image. I'm also going to share the latest OTA grabbed from cache.
Edit: updated OP with the new 33R links, and fixed the broken kernel image. I also explained how to use the kernel images.
Thank you so much
Great post op :good:
Waiting the recovery flashable zip of XNPH33R to download. ( I am currently on XNPH22R, unlocked bootloader, with TWRP)
I am going to flash the zip through recovery ( and then flash modem from zephiK's post).
I don't need to do anything with the kernel images ( I am guessing they are there for another reason), right?

You don't need the kernel images.
All the rom zip files has a kernel (boot.img). The reason i posted the kernel images separately too because custom kernel users sometimes need them. If they want to go back to stock kernel or just want to keep a backup, they don't need to download ~460MB for just the kernel image, they can download only the kernel image which is 5-10 MB.
Thank you for your work!
Thanks a lot, after flashing few mods and custom kernel my phone feels laggy, I must go back to stock
After @zephiK modem list, this is one more most usefull thread Thanks !!
So could I just flash the 33r update from stock recovery if I'm on 25r? Or do I need to update to 30O then 33r

The OTA Update is incremental, which means it only updates the files that changed from the last update, in this case XNPH30O. So you sould NOT try to flash the OTA Update of 33R if you are not on 30O.
If you want to update to 33R from 25R, there are a couple of options, for example:
A) update to 30O through OTA, then you can just flash the 33R OTA update, OR
B) download the 33R full rom zip, reboot to recovery, wipe cache and flash away OR
C) make a backup of your apps and settings, through adb, or Titanium Backup, or with Helium (TB requires root), then download the 33R fastboot.zip and flash through fastboot as described in the first post. If you already have the bootloader unlocked you can skip that step. After you are done, boot up the phone, then restore your backup. The flashing method described in the open post of CyanogenMod 11S thread will wipe your phone.
The "safest" method is A, the "cleanest" method is C.

Unfortunately no, but I can upload the 30O original OTA zip for you i grabbed that from cache too. You can flash it on 25R after a cache wipe. Or use it with the 25R recovery flashable zip: flash 25R zip then 30O OTA zip.

That would be nice. I went from 33r to 25r to see the difference in battery.
It's not that different so I wanted to go back, but when I check for ota there is not one. Says in up to date.

Okay I'm gonna upload the 30O OTA zip too, it will be available in the first post in a few minitues. If you want to go back to 33R you could also use the 33R full rom zip, just wipe cache and you can flash it on 25R. Make a backup before it, but i don't think there would be any problem.
Edit: Done!

The main thing is, you have to extract the tgz file, which will result in a tar file, so extract that again, add the adb files in that folder and follow the other steps
I newbed up my phone (soft bricked) and am trying to flash back to stock, but didn't think to save the stock recovery image before I flashed TWRP. Does anyone happen to have it for the ZE553KL? Or perhaps the stock firmware can be flashed through TWRP? I tried to flash via adb sideload, and it appeared to work, but that could be the totally wrong way.
Thanks!
Check the ROM somewhere here "convert CN to WW". There's a stock image in there with instructions how to sideload through ADB.
Thanks @magicmanfk!
The recovery.img is indeed in the ROM file attached to that thread. I extracted it and ran
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and it brought back the stock recovery. Then I was able to flash one of the older firmware files via
Code:
adb sideload UL-Z01H-WW-11.41.87.2-user-1.zip
and I'm back to stock. Now going to try to upgrade to N.

Did you use that image for a US phone or other?
The image you used looks like the firmware on the Asus site dated 6/6/2017 so I guess the firmware there are full images and not patches like someone suggested???
I'm asking because I feel like I may want to go back to US version stock at some point and don't have a backup so if the above is the case then I probably don't need to ask someone for a backup...
Did you have any luck upgrading to N? When I try using the phone's normal procedure I get an error saying I can't upgrade to N from a firmware less current than 11.41.87.2 even though that's the one I'm running. After flaking back to stock recovery I was able to update to that one normally... I wonder if there was something subtle that went wrong.
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

Boss,
This solutions can work with ASUS ZENFONE 3 ZOOM.........???
I have ZenFone 3 zoom. Already I successfully convert CN to WW Rom by following this introduction ... https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3-zoom/how-to/transfer-cn-rom-to-ww-rom-ze553kl-t3612990
But, I can't update android nougat any way. I convert system.new.dat to system.img...... And try to flash it but unfortunately that's not working......
Please help me .......:crying:
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!

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

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."

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

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?

You can download the official image from here:

Just use winrar or something similar to browse the file and you will find a boot.img inside.
