System write protection.
There is a mod to disable that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/des...e-disable-write-protection-v1-0-tool-t2966850
Or use a custom ROM, those have it disabled already.

I went through all the necessary steps. Only thing/issue now is the actual flashing of the root file. It will not take. Anyone else have this issue? Is there a way to get the necessary binary or whatever it's asking for? Thank you in advance.

I have exactly the same issue

**This should only work on a Windows based PC only.
II. Downloading Required Files
** Necessary tools and Drivers - Mediafire Folder
**Latest OTA form ASUS website : WW_2.17.40.12
** Boot.img, Droidboot.img and Recovery.img from this MEGA Drive posted by Chinaphonearena user and belong to Shakalaca.
** System.img - if you want your phone ROOTed on latest ASUS ZF2 Firmware.

**Boot your device to fastboot mode Power + Vol Up to enter Bootloader Mode
**Hold down Shift and Right-Click anywhere in Fastboot Folder on your PC and select Open command here. It will launch a Command Prompt Window for you to issue commands to your device.
**When it launches, type in the following command and press Enter (.img files has to be in same folder as fastboot tools):
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img - droidboot.img is fastboot, and if you somehow will flash corrupted image, you won't be able to boot to fastboot anymore. Thanks to sorg
fastboot flash system system.img - Only if you use Pre-ROOTed system image from MEGA Drive.

Are you sure this works i mean there are thousands of threads regarding this issue but none of them work..Can someone with CN version confirm the working of this method....

I bought phone on Aliexpress website. Phone has WW OTA but update via Wi-Fi was impossible. Firmware was 13.40.13 so i think people with that firmware had CN version at start, then sellers updated it to 13.40.13 WW and sended to buyers. Following my method you can update to the latest WW.

Works fine. We've published a similar method. I recommend using the latest rooted ROM. Note, your LTE 4G bands won't be changed with this method.
Have written out the steps in detail for novice users. Includes setting up adb etc: http://www.chinaphonearena.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=10253

I agree.
But your method is only for pre-rooted system.img with 2.13.40.13 firmware.
I posted method for full OTA firmware upgrade.
Yes, it is similar )

The method posted can be done with any system.img (don't have to use rooted ROM), there's no need to do the OTA update as its already the latest ROM (though it will be compatible with future OTA updates, thanks to the ROM creator), and you end up rooted.
They are essentially the same, except for flashing system.img at fastboot instead of doing OTA update. Take your pick. If not caring about root, your method is certainly quicker, as there's no need to DL the huge system.img file.

Thanks. Much appreciated

confirmed works fine on a rooted CN version
Hi,
I followed all the steps and apart from thinking I'd bricked it (the system update screen was sat with the blue bar unmoved for 15 minutes) . It's just completed perfectly.
Really great advice - thanks - I got 2 of these handsets yesterday via ebay both came rooted and it turns out they are CN models but had WW software on them - as per your model - prior to reading your post I was probably going to try and send them back.
I hope and presume for future updates I can continue to use this method?
will do 2nd one now.
Cheers
Ian

Thanksssssssssssssssssssss
Honestly, last time that I tried to have a custom ROM or in any other words, last time I installed and used ( I'm still using it) it was on my samsung galaxy tab(the first galaxy tab of all time) two years ago!
At first I was puzzled in all of these forum pages. I started to change my CN rom to WW Rom yesterday at 2 o'clock. Since I started this process, I just ate dinner and slept for 5 hours. The rest of the time I was trying to install 7 different roms which are available in this forum or asus zenfone forum by 3 different methods of loading a ROM! NONE OF THEM WORKED CORRECT AND COMPLETELY. so I had to start again and read. I can easily say that I've read more than a fat ass book for this process (most of them were duplicates, but I was looking for s.th new among them...)
Your method worked just nolw (@ 1 pm) and I'm really thankful. Honestly I was so bumped and I was thinking to send this device back, just an hour ago I saw your way for the second time and I just decided to try this time as the last way, before returning it!! thank u again for giving me a zenfone
keep up the good work

Confirmed ok on 2nd handset - red CN model 32gb 4gb ram.
It has removed the root access though... Supersu app has gone. and Root checker confirms not rooted.
Which is ok because I can now use Skygo app on the phone - really wasn't expecting that to work!

Thanks guys for good news that it work for you too. I hope that TUT will help others to get rid of 13.40.13 which drain battery as $%^&. Without root it's hard for efficient battery save but atm i use battery doctor from G market and I need to say after 4h it drained 3% battery with turned WiFi. I just wait for proper root tutorial.

Latest pre-rooted system.img is the latest ROM available and OTA updateable.
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/k7z5qzh579oc4/Asus_Zenfone_2_ROOT_System_Image

Hello,
Im stuck at no.5, sorry to ask but I don't know what you mean by phone root storage and where it is found.
Can you help please

He means the base of your SD card. Don't copy the OTA into a folder on SD. Copy it to the base of the SD.

with my cable still connected and fastboot still open?
Because I have put it in the sd card nothing happen

Reboot the phone. You should get an OTA update notification. Or boot into recovery and apply the update from there.

You will lose your ROOT.
Be careful! Pre-rooted system.img widely avaliable have glitch where when you update superuser app you will soft/hard brick your phone, bootloops etc.
Above method work also as UNBRICK method.​

You fail to give credit to those who made this possible, especially shakalaca.
This is my version of the steps:

I recommend using the tools directly from google. (Links fixed 2015MAY08)
These include fastboot and adb
Windows SHA1:720214bd29d08eb82673cd81a8159b083eef19d7

As far as steps, I can only speak of the ZE551ML. Start with an unrooted OS.
1.) Download the ADB and Fastboot tools from google (see links above). Download the pre-rooted from from shakalaca in post #1 (If you download the 200MB split version, Windows File Explorer will allow you to open the .zip and copy the .img file out.)
2.) Download the stock full ROM WW_2.15.40.10 directly from support.asus.com
3.) Plug the phone into the PC via USB and copy the UL-Z00A-WW-2.15.40.10-user.zip onto the phone.
4.) The phone will notify you that there is an update:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5.) When you select the notification you will be prompted of which file to use in the update:
6.) Hit OK and the phone will reboot and update everything it needs to update per ASUS. (This will include the fastboot/droidboot image, boot, recovery, system, silentlake, and modem firmware.)
7.) Once the update has completed, unplug and power off the phone.
8.) While holding volume up, press the power button until the phone vibrates. At this point release the power button but keep holding the volume up button until the screen flickers to the fastboot menu. Release the volume button when the screen flickers.
9.) Plug the phone back into your computer, open a command prompt and navigate to where you extracted the google tools and the system.img.
10.) Run:
fastboot devices
11.) You should see a your device listed, if you do not, your device is not in fastboot mode.
12.) Assuming you see your device listed in Step 10, run:
fastboot flash system system.img
This will erase your current system partition and then start writting the new image to the partition. Fastboot will split the system.img file into ruffly 500MB chucks and send them to your device.
13.) Once its finished, you can select boot normally on your phone by pressing the power button or run:
fastboot reboot[/QUOTE]

Root with TWRP Recovery for G8

Hey,
since nobody posted a tutorial on how to root the G8 here I will explain how I worked through the tutorial here:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/thema/how-to-root-huawei-g8-bootloader-unlock-cwm-root.729546/
For me it worked like this, but remember that you do the steps at your own risk. Also note that the process will factory reset your phone, so make sure to backup everything in advance!
Getting an unlock code:
Go to hwid5.vmall[dot]com an Register to get a Huawei ID.
Login at the unlock page: https://hwid5.vmall.com
Accept Unlocking Agreement
Enter model number (on your phone you find it at: Settings > About phone > Model number)
Enter serial number (on your phone you find it at: Settings > About phone > Status > Serial number)
Enter IMEI (on your phone you find it at: Settings > About phone > Status > IMEI or IMEI1)
Enter Product ID (on your phone enter: *#*#1357946#*#*)
Submit and get the unlock code. Save it somehow.
Unlock Bootloader:
Download Tools from https://www.mega.nz
Unzip everything to folder HUAWEI G8
Copy HUAWEI G8\SuperSU-PRO-V2.46.zip on your devices storage or sd-card.
Install ADB Driver: HUAWEI G8\UniversalAdbDriverSetup6.msi
Enable developer options on phone: Settings > About phone > build number (tap number 10 times)
Enable oem-unlock on phone: Settings -> developer options -> activate oem unlock
Power off your phone, attach USB cable from phone to pc, hold VOLUME DOWN + POWER BUTTON for some seconds until you see the Fastboot Mode
You should see PHONE Locked and FRP Unlock
On PC goto HUAWEI G8 folder hit SHIFT + RIGHT-CLICK and "Open Command Prompt here"
Enter Command: fastboot oem unlock YOUR_UNLOCK_CODE
Phone should be unlocked. Reboot phone.
Install TWRP Recovery:
Boot phone to fastboot (VOLUME DOWN + POWER BUTTON)
Enter Command: fastboot devices
The command should list your phone
Flash TWRP recovery with command: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Install Super-SU:
Boot to recovery with VOLUME UP + POWER BUTTON
Make a backup
Choose Install Zip and install SuperSU-PRO-V2.46.zip (the zip you copied to the device in the beginning)
Reboot. Done!
I hope this helps some of you.
Cheers.

TWRP TeamWin endless loop, no system start
Sorry for my stupide english, it´s not my native language, but I had problem´s after install TWRP. First time it seems that´s all ok, i have root on my G8. But by the next reboot the phone starts TeamWin and that´s all. I had no chance to start the system, TeamWin goes into a bootloop. The only thing that helped was to flash the original bootloader.
Details of my system:
Huawei RIO-L01 (G8)
Kernel 3.10.49
Android version 5.1
EMUI version 3.1
If you have problems like this load the orignal stock.img from uploaded [dot]net/file/4pafyrxf
Flash it with fastboot.
Re-zip the file in the same folder as fastboot.exe
Power off your phone
Press Vol down + power button on your phone for about 10 seconds
If you see the white display, connect the phone on your PC
Have a look if phone and FRP is unlocked
in the folder of fastboot.exe click shift + the right mouse button
Choose "Command Prompt open here"
fastboot starts on your PC
write „fastboot devices „ (without the „ “ )
Now you must see a answere from your phone. (it´s abc123 or something like that)
Write „fastboot flash recovery stock.img“ (also without the „“) and press enter
If all is right you have the Stock Recovery and the phone starts normaly.
I hope I can help someone
Please note, i give no warranty! You make it at your own risk!

Hy Pawha!
I had an unlocked bootloader and locked it by flashing the stock Rom manual.
I downloaded the original Stock Rom from the Huawei page, Re ziped the dload folder to a NTFS formated SD card.
Turn off the phone, press Vol up + Vol down + power button for a view seconds.
The phone start´s with flashing.
After flashing i had a closed bootloader.
In another forum I read that it apparently still is no proper effective method to close a bootloader.
This method is an attempt!

full backup
Is any way to make full backup of my official ROM without unlock bootloader& flash TWRP?
My G8 ROM single sim (bought from Romania) :
Build number RIO-L01C432B130.
Custom version CUSTC432D005.
Thank you!

The phone start´s with flashing.
After flashing i had a closed bootloader.
In another forum I read that it apparently still is no proper effective method to close a bootloader.
This method is an attempt!

Thanks for the reply! But i'm affraid i blew it up this time. I remembered that i uninstalled some system apps, and that must have been the problem to install the new update, even after i removed the root, and relocked the bootloader. So i just unlocked it again, rooted it again, and restored a backup on Twrp that had all system apps. After that, re-installed stock recovery, toggled OEM lock on settings and relocked bootloader. The update went ok, no errors, but the phone is stuck on the Huawei logo. And now i can't do anything because the OEM is locked on settings... Anyway of unlocking it via ADB? please help me, the phone is new!

Turn off your Phone, press Vol+ and then the Power button. When the phone vibrate, leave only the Power button, but not the Vol+ .Hold it, Team Win or EMUI is starting. Make a data/ factory reset and a cache reset. Reboot your system, maybe the phone starts normaly!
I had the same problems a year ago with a Nexus 4. I could fix it with this reset´s

[Guide] From a (soft) Brick to a Marshmallow (Taiwan 6.0.1)

How to fully fix au Japanese HTC Butterfly 3 with Taiwan’s ROM
[ROM verified working in US on all gsm networks and Europe (other networks may place sim lock ie. Middle East, South America)]
**Read over entire guide before starting**
**I am not responsible for any damage done to your phone. (Guide is basically without flaw, but still)**
**It is recommended you leave sim card out until point you stop, turn off phone, insert, then reboot.**
Shout out to mars3712 for uploading the file images check him out and donate:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=profile&uid=24052804347819348
and another shout out to moizjazz for helping me diagnose my problem that many have been experiencing (banner error due to CID and MID[this prevents HTC updates from installing and/or installing zips])
Pre-req.s htc drivers and adb 1.3 drivers
1. Enable adb debugging on phone
2. Download this file and unzip: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwjkdhnznIw6THQxdHFIcWUxRms/view?usp=sharing
3. add this zip with it and unzip contents into same directory https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24352994023706379
4. hold shift and then right click blank space in folder and select open command window here
5. Type: adb reboot download
6. Type: fastboot oem get_identifier_token
7. Right click terminal and left click and hold from First "<" to last ">"
8. Press enter, paste into wordpad or text editor
9. Delete all <bootloader> s and space afterwards
10. Log into www.htcdev.com
11. Copy the token to http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions/page-2
12. Proceed with instructions until you get the email.
13. Download Unlock_code.bin and put it with all other files (in b3twrp)
14. Type into terminal Fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlockcode.bin
15. You will be prompted to allow unlock, with volume rocker move to yes and press power button

[Good time to make twrp backup on SD card]
[You can stop here if you are content with lollipop; skip to bottom for gps fix]
f. fastboot oem lock
19. Reboot and upgrade to marshmallow without dealing with banner errors and RUU
At this point the Tiawan rom has two software malfunctions, no gps and no nfc, however, there is a patch you can flash for gps
Marshmallow update has gps fixed and nfc detected, but unusable.
-video- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEAH...SD4YsS3P4WqrPA
-Straight up link- http://1drv.ms/1nKdi4e
This dude is awesome for having the gps fix, like his video.
P.S. There is now a way to root or add xposed installer to Marshmallow because twrp 3.0 for recovery has been made for this device running marshmallow
[Edit]: Now there is twrp!!!!! (see bottom!!!!)
**I have tested this method twice and confirmed that even with some updated download mode firmware, updates will always be possible**
*This method rocks!*
Also (to end this goose chase), if any of you want the zips for some reason, here are the links to the best servers:

Big ANNOUNCEMENT! An actual twrp recovery image has been compiled and uploaded!(In china)
Here's my reuploaded copy! (Won't take 10 minutes to download) Thanks to mrquyen1993 for sharing this update and a HUGE thanks to... I actually dont know...
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6qqU5WVQ2khMVRMSUhOUWY3WU0/view?usp=sharing
Phone, SMS, and data work perfectly! I had issues with sms due to damaged SIM card(weirdest thing ever).
Hello, I believe a simlock solution has been found. add attached misc.img to your b3 adb directory and open terminal and enter command fastboot flash misc misc.img in bootloader mode. If that doesn't work try it in download mode. I can't test if this is a successful fix or not because I didn't have this problem.

So when I flash this rom, I will get a completely clean rom with no bloatware, root and TWRP?
And if I have root I can use your method to be able to text again?

Twrp is still only flashable to recovery and and all gsm cell service works, but other than that you're correct. These are the stock flashable images. (You need to decompress the file)

Works like a charm, thanks a lot!

So if I follow your steps, I can convert my Japan version to Taiwan version? Does NFC and GPS work?

Can you post a copy of your updated boot.img somehow?

NP. Srry I Just saw this now.

Sim card problem
My phone keeps showing "SIM network subset unlock PIN" , it reboots after i entered the pin, it goes back to the same page after it reboots. Any solutions?
This only happens when there's a SIM card being inserted.

Have you tried:
-soft factory reset(in settings)
-factory reset and/or wiping cache in download mode
-factory reset and/or wiping cache in recovery
-wiping system, data, and cache in twrp prior to flashing boot, recovery, and system
-reverting to backup
-trying simlock toggle in recovery/weird mode with vol+ and power on boot
-Checking sim support/trying different sim
These are steps I would take (in the order least to most in depth[not this order])
Sounds like a problem with your sim card from your specific provider. The phone with Tiawan has an international apn-configs.xml

So... will SMS Work?
Hi, the whole reason to do this for me is to get SMS working in the UK on this phone. Will this fix it? Also will this root the phone, as the KLGadget guy on Youtube seems to think that you can flash the Taiwan Rom without Root, but I have had no luck (keeps saying SC CARD NOT MOUNTED when I try his method) thanks.

HELP: I accidentally wiped OS off my phone in TWRP

I'm a newbie with this.. I got my Nexus 5x a few weeks ago. With the instruction of someone else i unlocked the boot loader and rooted my phone. then i had an issue with boot looping after some customization on my phone. so i attempted to wipe all that stuff off my phone is TWRP and i accidentally checked system. Now what do i do? Now i don't really know what a rom is or adb side loader or something like that.. i need some simple and clear instructions to get my phone working again. preferably without having to root all over again (that was exhausting and quite difficult, lots of trial and error).. but if it won't be rooted anymore, it's better than nothing. Please help!!

You only removed system you should still be able to get into bootloader.
Turn phone off, hold the volume down button then power button.
Should go to a screen with a android man laying down and it saying fastboot mode in red.

Download and install this http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
Wait for it to load the try auto detect on the window that pops up, if that doesn't work select "nexus 5x" and then on the next one choose the one ending with "mhc19q" click next/continue.
then on the next window click download and update all dependances.
What for it to do its thing then on the next window click on "flash stock + unroot", click ok,

then ok. It will download the latest factory image and do its thing. What happens after this you will need to describe to me as I have not used this toolkit.

@starlitserenity, I can help you get an OS back onto your phone. It's very simple even though you may be a NOOB. It's OK. As long as you have access to a PC and Internet you are OK because you can still access TWRP. Here is a list of steps:
1) go to forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/development
2) scroll down to the ROM labeled
"Pure Nexus"
3)In the first post (Original Post), scroll down and click on "Downloads & Changelog" You will be redirected to AFH (Android File Host) to download the ROM/OS
4)Scroll down just a little and you will see a Green Box with files/ROMs. Click on the newest one labeled
pure_Nexus_bullhead-6.0.1-20160407.
After you click on the ROM file, a new screen will appear with a Green Box that says "Begin Download".
5) Click on " Begin Download"
Once you click the "Begin Download" box, you will see below another Green Box that says "primary download". Click on the " Primary Download " box to begin downloading your new ROM/OS.
6) Go back to the Pure Nexus original post/first post and click on the link labeled "Highly Suggested Gapps"
You will be redirected to Android File Host again to download your Gapps(GoogleApps). Scroll down just a little to the Green Box again and select
PureNexus_Dynamic_Gapps_6.x.x_4-7-16.zip and click on the link.
7) A new screen will appear with a Green Box that says "Begin Download"
Click on the "Begin Download" box and just below another Green Box will appear that says "primary download".
Click on the " primary download " and this will download you Gapps.
8) Once both of your files have finished downloading onto your PC, boot your 5x into TWRP and connect it to your PC and let the drivers install so your Nexus is recognized by your PC.
9) Now that your 5x is recognized by your PC while booted into TWRP, you will need to move the 2 downloaded files from your PC's download folder to the internal storage of your 5x.
10) Now that you have moved both downloaded files to your Nexus 5x internal storage you will need to reboot your recovery. Select the home button in TWRP, select reboot, then select reboot recovery to reboot TWRP. This will all TWRP to recognize the two new files that were moved to your Nexus internal storage.
11) Unplug your Nexus from your PC. On your device, go to the TWRP home screen and select wipe, then swipe to factory reset. Now you are ready to install your new ROM and Gapps
12) Now that you have wiped the 5z again, select the TWRP home button. Next, select "Install". Navigate to your SD card/internal storage to locate the two files we moved to your Nexus from your PC. Select the file that says
pure_nexus_bullhead-6.0.1-20160407
Once selected you will be directed to a new TWRP screen and you will see a box to click on that says " Add More Zips" Click this box and navigate to the SD card/internal storage and select the 2nd file that says PureNexus_Dynamic_GApps_6.x.x_4-7-16.zip. Once you have selected the file you will be directed to another TWRP screen with a swipe button to install the ROM file and the Gapps file. Swipe the button to begin the installation.
13) Once the installation is complete, you will see a box that says wipe cache/dalvik. Select this box, wipe cache/dalvik, then select reboot system.
14) Once your device boots you will proceed to the setup wizard just like when your Nexus 5x was new out of the box. Go through the setup wizard to setup your device and once completed, reboot, and you will be back to normal with a pretty sweet custom ROM called Pure Nexus.

Then flash nexus factory images. and go stock. You can skip flashing recovery or you can flash recovery again. You will lose root access. you have to flash supersu again

Update? We're you able to install a new ROM and get your 5x back up and running?
