Hi All,
A couple of days back, I installed custom ROM (Recreated Remix Leopard) successfully on Zenfone 5. I was on the stock lollipop 3.24.40.87 firmware before that. I rooted, unlocked Bootloader and installed TWRP recovery on the stock ROM and I also took a nandroid backup. After using the custom ROM, I decided to go back to the stock ROM. I used the nandroid backup for restoring and got the stock ROM. But, now I want to go back to the stock Kitkat ROM (as the lollipop sucks) and I also don't want the custom recovery or anything. In short, I want to revert my phone to the real factory condition.
I tried to go back to Kitkat by the ASUS official method. But that didn't work. Then I tried to re-lock the Bootloader with the tool from which I unlocked it. But when I did that, I got stuck on the USB logo screen. So, I unlocked it again with the same tool and the phone starts normally. So, how do I get back now?
What would happen if I flash the stock ROM via TWRP? Will it remove the custom recovery and lock the Bootloader?
I read a couple of articles, a few of them suggested to install the stock ROM with the official ASUS method (copy the files in internal storage and the phone will notify to install the update). The article even says that by this method any custom modifications (recovery, root, Bootloader) will be deleted. Is it true or will this work?
Thanks in advance!

Link rom WW 3.24.40.87 modded, flash via TWRP: drive.google.com/open?id=0B7Py5ad2aHwKMHRsZ1NJM0tfLTQ
If you flash this rom, it will not remove the custom recovery + lock the Bootloader
If you having a problem while flashing this rom, you need to flash stock recovery 2.22.40.54, after that you can sideload stock rom via ADB
Sorry for my bad english ^^

Hi, thank you for the reply
You said WW 3.24.40.87 modded, do you mean that this rom is not the official one? Does it improves the battery life and other bugs of the stock rom?
I really appreciate your help!
You cannot flash stock rom via TWRP!
This is modded rom, so you can flash it via TWRP easily....
It's Official rom from Asus, just modded to be able flash through TWRP

Thank you for the info
But the thing is that I am already on the stock 3.24.40.87 rom and I want to go back to Kitkat 2.22.40.54 because it has much more improved battery performance than the lollipop. Is there any modded version of the stock Kitkat rom too? Or how do I go back to it?

You need to flash WW 2.22.40.54 recovery via Fastboot first, then sideload rom via adb

hi all,
i decided to unroot my device and flashed stock firmware through odin, now when the phone restarts i get this error and the touch is unresponsive i am not able to enter app drawer and the it takes repeated attempts to get into power off menu.
what has happened did i miss some imp step, was i suppose to uncock bootlaader under usb debugging etc etc. i tried flashin fw without BL file still same error.
this was an ebay purchase UK unocked model, which i believed was flashed with indian nougat firmware which i again reflashed to G935FXXU1DPLT, OTA updated to G935FXXU1DQB3 prior to rooting.
not able to boot into recovery also
currently iam flashing G935FXXU1DPLT or am i supposed to flash G935FXXU1DQB3
Hi,
After the last update on RR 2207, i have a bootloop. I try a factory reset and a lot of other firmware but i have alway a bootloop...
So i do a flyme restore and i use the firmware on http://xep.8800.org/pro5/flashtool/Firmware/20150923195421_demo_prd_stable.rar. and the phone is alive! YES
But the problem, it's the 4.5.4D and not a 4.5.4a or 4.5.4i/g, so i can't upgrade to a firmware with a BL unlocked... i can't upgrade to anything... :'(
I try Kingroot, change the id region, try all update firmware, TestPc tool but i have a "token sign failled"...
I was found a thread on htcmania but there are no solution...
Help me please i don't have more idea...
Man, I've the solution : if the bootloader is UNLOCKED, u can push the TWRP Recovery with ADB ! :victory:
now i'm on L-29c185b580 rooted unlocked bootloader and i had flash twrp
i tried to remove it by flashing stock recoveries found on the internet but it's not that stock it looks weird just restore recovery and reboot or shutdown and the top left called 'erecovery'
i wanted to update to b582 via firmware finder but failed many times i just wanted my phone to restore to normal
knowing that dload method don't work for some reason
any help please
Hey there! I am on my build WAS-LX1AC185B172. its fully stock, unmodified, unrooted , stock recovery and bootloader locked. So i decided to update it to WAS-LX1AC185B181, this firmware is officialy available in my country via OTA, but it weighs 2.35 Gb and my internet connection is week so i was unable to download it via OTA. so instead i downloaded a FULL-OTA firmware from firmware finder app (my friend did it for me). and i want to install it through DLOAD (three buttons method) but its starts and stucks at 5% and throws an error "Update install failed" , I dont know what is going on. Kindly help me how to install this firmware, and also can it be flashed through TWRP. as the Update.zip file seems to be flashable. or is there any other method to do it.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
