Introduction
Due to popular demand I have created a flashable zip from the official firmware released on 2016 July 12th (Version MM 30G)
Pre-requisite
If you haven't root/bump/TWRP already, read the tutorial here.
Disclaimer
I will not be responsible if you brick your phone. Use this tutorial at your own risk. Read the entire tutorial before proceeding.
How to use
To do a clean install:
Go into TWRP -> Wipe system/data -> Format system -> Flash the ROM zip.
To do an update without losing data/apps
Go into TWRP -> Flash the zip.
To get root
Flash my rooted boot.img -> Flash SuperSU V2.79.
If you an boot error, just flash the rooted boot.img again.
Only flash SuperSU V2.79 or above.
The only partitions that will be touched are the system and boot partitions. Bootloader and recoveries will not be touched, so after flashing to new ROM you can go back to TWRP and flash any custom zips!
I also provided a bumped boot.img on the side for those who want to use it with other Marshmallow custom ROMs like Fulmics.
If you want to get root for the stock ROM, you have to flash the rooted boot.img, then install SuperSU from play store. This is currently the only way to get root on official Marshmallow.
I don't have time to remove the bloatwares yet. So if you removed the LG bloatwares previously, they will be back.

D852 Telus/Koodo MM Bumped boot.img (no root, use this to unroot)
Rooted boot.img (Flash this to root #Rooted version 2.79)
SuperSU V2.79

Thanks, just wondering what the bump.img is for and why it is needed to flash another ROM.

Perfect. Can the boot.img be flashed with TWRP instead of Imageprep? Say I flash Fulmics at some point or any other ROM (that has root), then immediately after flash your boot.img within recovery to overwrite the Rogers kernel that most ROMs come with. Just making sure. This extra step is for those with a Telus/Koodo variant of the G3

Yep, as long as the ROM is based on stock you shouldn't have problem flashing stock kernel.
Would this boot.img work on rogers?

It seems LG released the same MM kernel for all variants in Canada. Theoretically it should work for Rogers too.
You can try it out to see if there's any bugs. If it doesn't work you can just flash back your original boot image (make sure to back up boot partition first!).
Let us know if it works.
Thanks you.
Does anybody have a success story to share about updating without wiping ?

Thanks hdlineage,
If you dont mind i would like to confirm some steps?
I am on rogers MM OTA so i am complete stock.
So i download the kitkat-aboot.img, kitkat-laf.img and twrp
Use your imgprep program to install the img's and twrp.
then back up the current boot.img in twrp, then flash the modified you provided, correct.
Then i could either flash a super user.zip or install super user from the playstore?
Thanks for your work

For imageprep to work you will need to downgrade to lollipop first.
It won't work with MM. Currently you need custom recovery to root MM.

In order to root using the method described in this thread, you must already been rooted with a bumped TWRP when you were on Lollipop. Refer to OP and the "Requirement" section if you need more information.
If you were not rooted with bumped TWRP previously, then you have two options:
1) Downgrade to LP by using LGUP, root/bump using ImagePrep, then flash according to instructions on this thread
2) Wait for ImagePrep to be updated for MM compatibility and then root (and/or install bumped TWRP).
Your propose method may fail since you are on MM already and ImagePrep is currently compatible with either KK or LP only. If your method works, please let this community know.
There are other root methods available such as the one-click method http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197, but I am unable to validate them since I used ImagePrep method on LP only.

Surprised there is no modem.img in the update?
Did the baseband version change?
Mine is a Rogers D852 but is unlocked and was not OTA updated past Lollipop.
The baseband version showing is: MPSS.DI.2.0.1.c1.13-00053-M8974AAAAANPZM-1
Can anyone confirm a change in baseband?
Is there any flashable file available for fido users.?
delete, Rogers should be the same as Fido but can't confirm

It is the same (use bumped zip) from this thread. I have a Koodo G3 unlocked on the FIdo network configured with Fido APN and it works. No issues yet, have not tested GPS or Bluetooth. Since there is no baseband update, I don't think there will be any issues.
My Fulmics install failed to boot and was stuck on LG logo with flashing green & blue led. Stock MM bumped zip install works just fine.
Which boot image should I have used and what about installing SuperSU?
Current root methods in OP fails. Tried both boot images and tried bumped boot image. Supersu failed on version 2.65, 2.67, 2.68, 2.70.
hdlineage: keep getting the error message it is failing to patch the boot.img since Supersu detects boot is already patched. Any ideas?
hi there it's been a loooong time search on the internet and ... no answers to my problems so yeah hello !
I have a Zenfone 2 laser ZE500KL and a custom recovery (twrp 2.8.7.7) and my phone have no OS installed (i don't know why) i tried many times to install the asus marshmallow update from fastboot, adb push, adb sideload, but nothing work and i have a little word saying "This package is for WW_phone devices; this is a omni_Z00E" followed by "Updater process ended with ERROR: 7" and "Error installing zip finle '/sdcard/UL-ASUS_Z00E-WW-13.10.7.2-user.zip'" i don't know what this mean and i want to know because i am a little lost.
thanks

What are you trying to flash? Custom kernel? Stock boot.img?
Either the .img is corrupt/incompletely downloaded OR you have unlocked boot loader using unofficial method.
1. Download the boot.img and try again
2. If it still gives error, you do not have a proper bootloader unlock. Try flashing twrp that is confirmed working by you, to verify if bootloader is properly unlocked or not.

If you had spent enough time searching on xda, you would have got the solution. I posted a solution to this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-2-laser/help/unable-update-to-marshmallow-via-ota-t3389876 And the thread is marked "solved" which means it worked.
sziraqui said:
Apparently, your current recovery version does not match with your current firmware version. There are two possible workarounds-
1. Wipe system by executing "fastboot erase system" in fastboot mode. Then reflash latest official asus lollipop ROM. This will fix the recovery and firmware mismatch and you will then be able to flash MM via stock recovery.
2. If you are experienced with edit8ng updater-script, Extract all contents of MM ota. Open updater-script and remove all asserts and lines that say "abort". Then compress the contents again. (You can't edit without extracting coz zip is signed). Flash this modified ota zip via TWRP.
If you still can't flash it or you are unable to edit updater-script, pm me, I have downloaded the MM ROM, I will send you modified updater-script.
I can even convert this ota into .imgs so that you can flash directly via fastboot

sziraqui said:
alright, download the updater-script from attachment. Flash via TWRP.
Detailed instructions-
First extract entire ota zip. Delete the original updater-script.
Then extract "updater-script_modified.zip"
Copy the extracted "updater-script" to extracted ota at the right location. (META-INF/com/google/android)
Compress the ota files as a zip using 7zip or winrar. Compression level "normal" . DONT USE ANY ANDROID APP FOR COMPRESSING, USE WINDOWS/LINUX APP ONLY.
Flash the modified zip via TWRP recovery

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.

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.

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

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.

I tried to do a lot of things to get back to Stock ROM but they didn't work. I watched that tutorial but the files belongs to ZE550kl, so any other ideas? :crying:

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.

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

Yes I'm currently writing one
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.

i see there is a mm unlock apk for the ze601kl there also...i wonder if that would work on the ze551kl.

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 am just that I do this activity.
Could you explain the differences between common, full and slim.
What should I use for a clean installation from scratch.
you have a twrp recovery? Make sure its the latest, version 302-5 is the latest. Im not sure what you want to do, do you want to return to stock or flash a custom ROM?

hi, I think you need a backup (TWRP) of the original stock rom that come with the phone. If you have it restore it from TWRP then you should back to stock rom.
Or You can flash stock rom, I don't know if you can flash it by use TWRP, I saw link for stock rom LEX720 here:
http://bbs.le.com/zt/eui/le_pro3.html
Wrong post
1.If not have TWRP backup ?
2. Stockrom can't istall from TWRP.
This case if i want back to first time buy new phone.

I'm working on a simple guide to return to stock (5.8.20s) since I need to send my phone in for repair. The only thing I am missing is how to get back to original locked bootloader. If anyone has a link to that info (or can send me a flashable file with instructions) please let me know!
Regardless I'll post tomorrow sometime after I try it out.

Hi, I suggest you use the stock twrp backup you made before any modifications first to get the original system back. Then flash a stock recovery from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/leeco-le-pro-3-root-t3476560
and then get the latest OTA firmware zip and rename it to update.zip. Once you renamed it put it into the root of your mobile and reboot to recovery by adb then from there it should allow you to update to stock rom (may also work to get back to stock rom). This will bring back some Chinese apps and the system update features for future OTA if you were under 017s software.
Stock ROM OTA: http://bbs.le.com//zt/eui/le_pro3.html
I held no responsibility to any damage caused as it may or may not work for every device. It worked for me after flashing various custom roms. I used my first stock backup and got rid of the twrp then update with the stock recovery.
Just posted a guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/guide-return-to-stock-lock-bootloader-t3539513
I hope it is helpful!
