Hello,
I can see many of users are facing problems in unlocking bootloader. Here is proper guide to unlock bootloader. These steps are tried by me on 3 zenfone WW T00J and they are working like charm. As I don't know state of your bootloader (Locked/unlocked/messed up) so I will be starting from beginning where your bootloader is restored to default state before unlocking. Since I am using Cyanogenmod 12.1 ROM So I will suggest you flash it first due to its kernel.img , boot.img etc once it boots , after that u can flash other roms.
DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK. THESE STEPS ARE FOR ZENFONE 5 A501CG T00J WW(from India) 1.6Ghz 2GB 16/8GB .
However Same procedure applies with different SKU like TW CN etc. All u need to use your own firmware files.
I assume You Have Android Debug Bridge v.1.0.32.zip And All Intel Drivers Installed. If not Try Google or Other ROM threads to download.
STEPS TO BRING YOUR BOOTLOADER TO LOCKED STATE, THIS WILL NEED FLASHING OF STOCK ROM AND ALL YOUR DATA WILL BE ERASED ON INTERNAL STORAGE SO BACKUP FIRST.
Download UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.22.40.54-user.zip From ASUS WEBSITE.
Steps -
1). Extract boot.img, fastboot.img, and recovery.img from the zip downloaded from Above Asus Firmware zip file.
Place them in ADB folder. Also Copy the whole zip to same adb folder.
OPEN ADB prompt by shift + right click and select open command window here in same folder.
2). Boot your phone in Fastboot mode and do exactly as following,
fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase data
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
3). Now select recovery from fastboot menu and press power to boot into recovery mode.
4). Press and hold volume down then tap volume up at dead droid splash for recovery menu.
Select adb sideload
and type
adb sideload UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.22.40.54-user.zip
Wait Until it downloads on your phone and is installed. It usually takes 20-25 minutes to boot into phone. As this is the first time phone is booting after complete format expect it time taking.
Boot into Phone And Congrats You Have Locked your bootloader properly which is ready to unlock properly
Now Flash This Cyanogenmod as said step by step and boot into it and you will experience no freeze issue. After booting you can even change your rom.

I disagree with this information.
From my perspective screen freezes and reboots happening due to device revision. What i mean is there are few different revisions of Zenfone 5 models.
For example, boot unlock files is compatible with first revision so second revision will get freezes.
It is not fault of bootloader unlock.
Dear maggi I too own the same device as you (same model, cpu speed and ram cap) expect I brought mine form dubai and I experience freeze issues quite often even on stock after un-locking bootloader yet I unlock mine from. 78 stock rom so I'll try your method and see what's happens :fingers-crossed:
what about the no camera problem that some users are experiencing

@herecomesmaggi, I think what tank0412 says is true. I have A501CG 1.6Ghz model. First, I used the bootloader provided in the first post of rr thread. I faced screen freezes while playing COC (note: I never faced screen freeze outside games). Then, I followed the quanganh's method of copying if.bin. Screen freeze is still there, but the frequency is greatly reduced. Also, the last time I faced screen freeze I was playing fm and the fm kept playing despite screen freeze. Which means that the os itself didn't get stuck just the screen froze. What could I say from this is, there are several versions of bootloader and using the right one will solve the screen freeze problem. Or if we could find how the bootloader unlocker works.. May be ASUS uses parts from different manufacturers and they are somehow linked to bootloader(It seems unlikely. Just an idea as nothing else is working!).

If you can please refer to my earlier post where I cried for help for same problem. In COC when i searched 10-15+ villages for loot it definitely freezed. I tried with all kernels methods, windroica, zenphone blog etc etc. Then I found this method. Please follow it and install the rom as instructed then please report. May be this could help you.
P. S. I am sure it will help you.

One question and maybe noob.
What is the difference between the unofficial bootloader unlock and the official
If i unlock with the official unlocker and after install CM it should work, or not?

So that means when u unlock bootloader camera doesn't work.. If I am right then, It shouldn't be working with any of playstore camera app either as there is no hardware detected type of situation.
Have you tried to reach asus technicals in this regard.?? Try asking them ur official bootloader unlock method.
And by the way have tried my method..?

I've been trying almost everything for days. When I turn on the phone the bootloader enters in a loop.
I can't access to recovery (vol up + power), not even in update mode(vol up & vol down + power).
The only thing I can access is the fastboot but my phone is locked and I don't the have the imei to unlock via calculator or the oficial huawei page.
If someone have any suggestions.

If getting your IMEI is your only concern then you can get that from the box... But you'll need Product ID too, and for that you'll need to have your phone booted up...

I downloaded the official ROM from huawei and is the recent version but when I tried to install it with "fastboot update file.zip" is asking for an android-text.txt and I been searching to re-create that file manually and then is asking for another file and so on.
I've been searching if I can install the oficcial ROM by fastboot even if is not unlocked and find this guide but it is not usefull for me 'cause I can't access into the download mode or use adb.
This is the information I could extract from my phone.

Ok i searched for ways to find an IMEI number and found couple of ways...
1) Look under/in the sim tray. It may be there (I didn't check this out)
2) Find the IMEI/MEID using Google Dashboard. This is Google's control center that can be accessed from any computer with a web browser. You will need to log in with the Google account associated with your Android phone.You can access Google Dashboard by visiting www.google.com/settings/dashboard Expand the "Android" section by clicking the "Android" heading.Locate your phone in the list. If you have multiple devices associated with your account, all of the devices will be displayed. Find the device that you are trying to retrieve the IMEI/MEID number for. (This works)
3) At last, you can try to remove the back case and remove the battery. This can help you in 2 ways. Firstly, there should be IMEI code present under the battery. Secondly, this may cause you to get out of bootloop

Pls Help, im stuck on boot screen "Security Error:. This phone has been flashed..."
Hi, My Galaxy S7 Edge is stuck on the boot screen with caution "Security Error:. This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software & is locked, Call your mobile operator for additional support. Please note that repair/return for this issue may have additional cost." my phone restart and restart at this caution
Yes im rooted my phone, but maybe by me turn off OEM Unlock. So when i restart then i get this lock.
I cant access TWRP recovery (i have a backup this rom on my sdcard, before im root). So
How to i can access TWRP recovery, or turn on OEM Unlock.
At least how do I solve this case.
Thanks for read.
Yes, it's because you turn off oem unlock.
Remember not to turn it off when your phone running anything not official (custom recovery, root, custom kernel, custom rom etc.)
The only way to solve this is to go to download mode and flash full stock official rom and start from scratch.

Yes this is true - it is a new security thing that Samsung is diong - probably will be doing on all phones. (Started on the Note 8)
It is called "RMM STATE" - If you don't see OEM unlock in Developer Settings, you will need to wait 7 days - once you see it again - then you can flash TWRP - but to prevent it from continuing to be a problem you need to also flash a fix for the RMM State -
for a detailed description of what it means and what you can do about it - go here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75360965&postcount=22
Just updated to OREO and OEM unlock option has completely dissapeared. Do I unfailingly need to wait 7 days to flash TWRP? If I had to, how could I do it without reseting the phone? I mean... To get into download mode and flash TWRP I need to power off the phone, needn't I?
Help please

After 7 days, 160 hours, go to developer settings and turn OEM Unlock ON - once that is on, you can flash twrp. From this point you are set - but if you flash a custom rom, it is going to go back to the LOCK State again.
TO avoid that, yoiu need to follow the steps that I linked to in the post above your original pots - click the link to the page that explains the RMM State and the fix yoiu can flash to keep it from happening again.
Good Luck - I am in the same situation - 3 days and counting.....

hello everybody. I got interested about this problem since my friends @yahia angelo and @corsicanu got the "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed" problem, so we decided to search deeply about this. We found out that this problem isn't related to frp/oem unlock (even if enabled same problem comes), but to a new prop that you can see in download mode (rmm state: Prenormal). By searching in system, seems this prop is related to a new "thief" protection samsung added in latest firmwares. Let's make an example: You get the device, setup google account, all good... Then someone steals the device and wipes it... Ok. After wipe he boots, but he can't pass the setup without internet, and when he connects to internet it asks for your google account, since your account is saved in frp partition, so he can't setup. This rmm state is more than that simple frp, as it doesn't allow him to flash custom binaries to remove frp. So now let's cut to the chase: Who still doesn't have this rmm lock can avoid to get the device locked by following these two simple steps:
1. in build.prop, make sure "ro.security.vaultkeeper.feature" property is set to 0, like this:
Code:
sys.use_fifo_ui=0
ro.wsmd.enable=true
ro.security.vaultkeeper.feature=[color="blue"]0[/color]
keyguard.no_require_sim=true
ro.carrier=unknown
2. remove rlc app. To do this go in "/system/priv-app" folder with a root file manager or with twrp file manager and remove "rlc" folder.
For those who unfortunately has rmm state set to "prenormal", as this user reports, seems that by keeping your phone running without shut it off/reboot, at a certain device running time value rmm state prop will set again to "normal", so you can flash custom binaries again, if it works to you make sure to follow the above steps to not get locked again, i'll keep you guys updated about this when there will be news.
Edit:
In attachments now you can find a zip that does the job for you. So when rmm state is set back to "normal", flash a custom recovery and then flash this zip file to avoid lock again

...................odin flash fails fixed 100% solutions..................explanation to why odin fails
when your s8/ s8+ is forced rebooted by holding the power and volume down buttons or crash reboots. And when booting into download mode for some reason download mode is locked or corrupted and odin will fail even if you use official device specific firmware. So follow the steps below to fix
how to fix!
1. Boot into download mode by pressing ( power + volume down + bixby button) and stop at the screen of continue and reboot.
2. Press volume down to restart phone
3. Quickly boot back into download mode by pressing (power + volume down + bixby button)
4. Press continue

no luck, removed sim and now it reboots as soon as android one text is displayed
I've also tried wiping cache in default recovery, no luck

Try to format data in twrp or stock recovery.
If it does not work flash an android 8.0 or Nougat ROM. Do not lock the bootloader.
Let me guess. From Pie to Oreo or Nougat?

will give it a read, it it works, I'll PM you and you'll give me your paypal address. Fair is fair.
can't unlock OEM, because I can't boot up to developer tools. great, just great. will try to fix that first.
if you can boot to fastboot try to flash stock pie 10.0.4.0 with miflash, after that your device should be able to boot, than unlock OEM and bootloader and downgrade to what version you want

I can get to fastboot yeah, but MiFlash tool says that remote oem unlock is not allowed. So I'll probably have to open it up for EDL. Reboot to edl isn't working. Thanks for the advice tho.

i had a problem like yours, but i have flashed stock rom in non EDL mode and everything had start to work apart LTE band missing that i restored with qualcomm's tools
which stock rom have you try to flash? are you downgrading from oreo? bootloop on android one logo after downgrading is a common issue due to ARB (anti rollback protection)

reward is cancelled from this point on i will reward the one who helped me so far tho. still working on solving the problem so winner has not been decided yet.
you don't understand.
There are no winners and no loosers.
You are free to donate to anyone you want, but your post boost and encourages a bad attitude.
If people start to solve only paid problems, the spirit of the community will be destroyed.
The problem is with the Pie specific partition table
I write the whole guide from memory, so it can differ a bit.... I skipped some steps ( erasing, reboot, fastboot mode, TWRP loading via fastboot, OEM unlock )
From previous writings I think you can know the skipped steps.
Keep in mind: It is dangerous, you can loose your IMEI ( it will only work again with Pie - or there are some writings at forum how can you manually change it. ).
Steps:
1 - Backup with TWRP (fastboot) efs,persist,modem & make copy to your computer and or to your cloud provider.
2 - Create a new folder in Internal Storage -> TWRP -> BACKUP -> With a new date directory ( the backup already made one, make a new folder, with different date )
3 - Download someone's older TWRP backup from xda (I cheated, I copied the following links ) :
(I'm still a new user, so can't directly write url's )
Mediafire : https COLON SLASH SLASH bit.ly SLASH 2QU5NtC
Mirror: Google Drive : https COLON SLASH SLASH bit.ly SLASH 2UN1DTo
4 - Unpack, and copy EFS to the folder created 2 point
5 - Fastboot TWRP -> Restore EFS
6 - Flash the Official latest firmware from en.miui.com ( If you want to make sure go with EDL mode )
7 - Now, the IMEI & Mac addresses are missing. Don't panic! Download update with System Updates.
8 - When you are on Pie again, restore your first TWRP (fastboot) persist partition
9 - One more System restore
At this time, you will have IMEI & Mac addressees, and hopefully a working phone.
Hope this helps. The same thing happened with me 2 weeks ago. This is how I solves it.
Thank you, I solved it yesterday. Hopefully this post will come in handy for other people!
