any help ... i want to go back to 6.0.1 safely
thank you. lol i swear if the issue got fixed i'll never ever rooting anymore loool
Try to flash the image with fastboot, if the bootloader is unlocked, don't use such tools.
Edit: it doesn't matter that your device was rooted, and why you want to flash old marshmallow image, flash the latest nougat.
Use the heisenberg guide. Adb shell using fastboot commands has never failed me.

I advice you to use fastboot, yes you have to read a little bit for this, but you will know what you are doing. And as long as you're flashing your phone don't lock your bootloader.
Sure you can move to mm, if you want to do it with toolkits I can't give you any support because I don't use them.
Better you read a little bit and you will understand what you are doing.

I'm picking up a Nexus 6P this week, would like to try out the latest Android N DP #4, but I always like to have Root on my phone, mainly for ad blocking and custom Kernels. So my phone will be brand new, should I just try out the Developer Preview before I do the whole Root and TWRP thing ? And then after that root it and install custom Recovery ?
I just didn't know if there were custom ROM's based off the Developer Previews ? Or at least Root available while running the N preview ?
You can have root and twrp on N dp4

Thanks, but right now I'm just running stock, haven't unlocked bootloader or anything yet, but I did enroll for the N beta, which I'm on right now.
Question, if I want to unlock bootloader now, and root, etc... Do I have to revert back to Marshmallow first ?

PLEASE HELP:
Ok need a little help, I am following the excellent video by Rootjunky ( thank you ), and got through the unlocked bootloader part easily, and now installed TWRP Recovery, but upon first time booting into TWRP, it's just sitting at the Blue and Gray teamwin screen, and not doing anything else, it's not actually entering into the Recovery, to see the list of options, etc...
I powered the device down, and started up again in Fastboot mode, then chose Recovery, and does the same again, just sits at the blue gray colored teamwin screen, and does nothing.
What happened ?
UPDATE:
I powered the device down / off. Then started up again, it went and booted up, to the fresh clean Android N DP 4. But I am not rooted at all yet, due not being able to fully enter Recovery and flash the SuperSU zip yet.
Hi,
I've just got a new ZE551KL (z00td) with a locked bootloader and no root. Since the phone have the latest android 6.0.1 build I have difficulty to root it and unlock the bootloader. I did many research and I think it's really confusing. It seem to root my phone I need an unlocked bootloader but to unlock it I have to root my phone. The last interesting thing I've found for my phone is to flash a pre-rooted system.img & boot.img ( http://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-80274-1-1.html ) but I also get stuck here since the guide tell me to flash both and I can only find the system.img.
I would like to know if there's any guide to root & unlock my bootloader on my ZE551KL. Thanks a lot!
It's a pain, but you may have to roll back to an earlier version of the firmware...back to lollipop. There are instructions in one of the threads on how to do that. I was able to unlock before the marshmallow update with the official unlock utility from Asus. Once you are unlocked, the easiest way to root is just to either boot twrp.img (previously downloaded and extracted to the adb folderon your computer) using fastboot (lots of threads here with instructions, too) and install supersu.zip. Or if you want to install twrp as your recovery, you can flash it from fastboot, then flash the zip of supersu. If you need more help, I am no expert by any means, but I have done this with my own ze551kl and might be able to give you some more hints.
Personally I would avoid the prerooted images as I had a lot of trouble with them and nearly bricked my phone by trying them out.
Thanks a lot for your reply! That's what I'm trying right now. I'm rolling back to lollipop from an official rom file from asus website. So far, I tried to flash it with stock recovery but it said that I cannot install a older version on top of a newer one. I did an downgrade of the recovery and now I'm waiting for the flash.

Excuse me, how did you do the downgrade of the recovery? Can you share the .img with me? I have TWRP installed with locked bootloader
I've found older stock recovery on this site : https://mega.nz/#F!lodnzDhK!H5ChxausDTyko1qGlnF7dw!Fg9FwLoa

Well it seem that I cannot downgrade, the latest recovery don't want to install a lower version and when I try to get a older stock recovery I still cannot downgrade since it get stuck at verifying image update package.
Also I've noticed that my version is 21.40.1220.1698 and so far I can't find anything related to this version for rooting or unlocking bootloader. Even the official firmware on asus website for the ZE551KL is older than this version and I couldn't flash it. I had to get it from https://asus.kremowka.xyz/categories/show/2 because I've soft bricked my device. I'm still trying to find a solution...

I would NOT use this stock image for ze551kl. There is one for the 601 and the 550 but not 551kl. I will find the thread with the first stock recovery posted that I used and post the link in a while. Give me a chance to find it. I would roll back to it, then upgrade to the stock firmware listed in the unlocker notes. Once it's unlocked, you can go to the last lollipop before marshmallow and flash it. I would then factory reset, then flash marshmallow. After you have it working, then flash twrp (or just boot it in adb) as I said above and flash supersu.
I will warn you that a lot of people have had trouble unlocking and this might not work to unlock.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3585486&d=1450811354 here is the link to stock for the very first stock firmware. I followed a video posted on YouTube from "themobileshots" on returning to stock from cm13. I doubt you can flash the stock recovery without flashing twrp first, then flashing from there. There are a lot of people in this forum that can help and most are pretty patient. Don't give up.
Finally I got my phone unlocked and rooted and it was too easy ...
I used fastboot to flash TWRP ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/zen...e601kl-official-marshmallow-wwv21-40-t3424903 ) and after that I flashed the latest CM13 from TWRP to gain root and unlocked my bootloader with this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/zen...de-unlock-bootloader-asus-unlock-app-t3405850
I never though I could flash TWRP with a locked bootloader but it worked very well.

Me too the first time I tried to unlock my bootloader in CM13 it didn't worked. I followed the guide and I did this :
Phone connected to the computer with USB debug and using ADB :
Code:
adb shell
su
Then I followed the backup procedure and I did the magic command to unlock it :
Code:
echo -ne "\x01" | dd obs=1 count=1 seek=16 of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/devinfo
After I rebooted in fastboot so see if my device was unlocked but no it was still lock. I did two adb reboot with these command :
Code:
fastboot oem adb_enable
fastboot oem adb_enable
You have to do these twice.
After this my bootloader was still locked but I did a normal reboot and tried the magic command and voila! Bootloader unlocked.

If you have the ZE551KL like me you have to use file for a Z00T. You can check this page to know which device is a Z00T : http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-2-laser/general/index-zenfone-2-laser-variants-t3369569
In my case I also had some difficulty to go back to Stock since I couldn't find the right firmware for mine because my android version is 21.40.1220.1698 and you have to flash the same version. The only place I found it was there https://asus.kremowka.xyz/categories/show/2 under the ZE601KL

The video is for the 550 but the process is the same for the 551kl (zootd). I downloaded the stock firmware at the bottom of the page on the Asus support page https://www.asus.com/support/Download/39/1/0/23/SZCx58yhB5Jst0yI/32/ , extracted it, grabbed the boot.IMG from there and put it on my memory card along with the stock recovery from the link above (renamed it recovery.img) and the full firmware (drag the original, leave it zipped). Then I did as the video says and wiped in twrp, flashed the boot and recovery, wiped cache, then flashed the firmware. It took awhile for the process to complete. Hope this helps.

For the stock MM yep I did it. I just installed the stock one after my bootloader was unlock and followed a tutorial here for root. I really like the stock Asus, way better than the samsung with touchwiz in my opinion.

So, to recap. If you are at the latest update, and have never previously unlocked bootloader or rooted your phone. The ASUS provided unlock tool won't work on the latest update. With it locked you can't install custom recovery or downgrade the firmware to an older version so that you can unlock it. Catch 22. Screwed until ASUS releases an update to their unlock tool or someone figures something else out. Or am I missing something? Cause I've been trying to do something with my kids phone for two days now and no luck here doing anything. Bout 8 million guides and files around the net and none of em seem to do squat in my situation. Any comments? Let's hear em.

I have reinstalled the factory image unrooted and gone back to stock. Yet when I try to relock the 6P it will not work. I have tried the following:
fastboot flashing lock (Does not work)
fastboot flashing oem lock (Does not work)
Am I missing something here? I assume root was taken away when I flashed the stock recovery and factory image. Just appears not matter what I type it will not lock. Any help would be great!
Thanks

Never mind I got it I was using the simple ADB install method without downloading the SDK kit. Once I download the SDK kit and reinstalled everything it worked fine. Its now locked. Is there anyway to tell if I am for sure 100% stock and able to receive 7.0 OTA?

you dont need a locked bootloader for OTAs.... I'd strongly advise you keep it unlocked. It can get you out of a jam.
I just got this phone and I'm debating on unlocking the bootloader and rooting it and I was just curious if in the future I need to return it to stock (especially for selling it in the future) how do you go about doing that? Do you just flash one of the stock firmwares though TWRP like I found here? http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G6/US997/US997-USA/US99714a
Then what do you do if that is correct? Also how do you relock the bootloader? I'm sorry if these are noob questions but I have been out of the modding game for a good while.

Just flash a kdz trough LGup and the phone will be completely stock, no twrp and no root. Then you have to only lock the bootloader by typing "fastboot oem lock". Don't run this command while you have twrp and root!
Ah, and the fact you have relocked the bootloader doesn't mean that you recovered the manufacturer warranty, LG can easily verify if you used the unlock bin.

If I ever want to go back to stock for selling the phone or whatever I just download the latest KDZ file like I linked to above and then I flash it to the phone and it will return everything back to stock? Then after that you just do the relock command and the bootloader is closed again?

Ok then
LGUP
Hi, so I started flashing the kdz on my LG G6 using LGUP and it starts, but then randomly quits out. It's recognising my device and the file is definitely the correct one. Any hints as to why it's not working?
EDIT: I managed to fix it, apparently Windows Defender was seeing Uppercut as a virus and stopping it from creating the files it needed to. So make sure you turn off Windows Defender when you do this.
My experience with returning phone to stock is bad. First unlocked bootloader, installed twrp, bootloader for havoc ROM and ROM itself..
Havoc 3.1 OK, but BT calling not working, so I decide go back to stock.
LGUP used without problem, but then camera neither flash ligh doesnt work anymore.
Last firmware for H870 used from official.
Have someone same shi t experience like me?
Trying everything, but no success.
So its not easy go back to stock again..
(My phone is H870 for EU)

It's a known problem, the A10 ROMs somehow mess with files needed for stock camera that aren't included in stock pie.
You have to flash Oreo bootloader and then 30b zip for the camera to work.
If that doesn't work flash Oreo kdz and update to Pie.

Problem finally solved!
Tried many times flash Oreo bootloader and then 30b(pie), 20a (oreo). With 30b everythings work except camera. With oreo 20a phone wasnt even bootup normally.. (after reset just screen with green android and message "No commands" appear. I used LG UP 1.14 with Uppercut.
Then after many unsuccesses I put phone to state where bootloop appeared and I thought about to throw it into garbage.
ADB shell and TWRP saved me... I was again able flash roms.
At the end I found some package with LG UP 1.14 and patch (so I could use it without Uppercut...there is a new LGUP_common DLL), and with this combination flash procedure worked smoothly.
BUT! I had to load nougat stock rom first (H87011i_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0108.kdz), which fix partitions in phone somehow (but there wasnt possibility upgrade higher). Everything, camera included was working with this rom..
Then I flash oreo stock rom (H87020a_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0423.kdz), and now It booted right (no "no command" during startup). Phone worked perfectly, and I used OTA upgrade to land on 30b pie last official update.. tadaaa
Hope it will help others with same problem..

well it actually shouldn't. axon7toolkit should flash fastboot onto your phone
But I thought the Chinese still had fastboot... Did you enable OEM unlocking?
Try enabling USB debugging too, and use a pc with ADB to issue 'adb reboot bootloader'. maybe it'll get there,maybe not
