TeenyBin for LGNPST
E971, E973, E975, F180*
Don't give me all the credit. Just as much goes to artlan for figuring out the tables and table offsets.
Special thanks to xonar_ for his LG Bin Firmware Extractor and releasing his source code.
Thank you Shelnutt2 for everything you do for the entire LGOG community.
Thank you k7raid for testing the first bin with major SBL changes.
And last and also least.. ha ha.. sawdey21 for suggesting the "updated" name change.
TeenyBin. Patent Pending.
Be sure to show them all thanks.
Background
After seeing tons of soft bricks on both the forums and IRC we have decided to look into how LG .bin files work. We've "cracked the code" and have been able to rebuild the .bins.. making the repair process both faster and easier. Normally the user must download a large .tot/.bin file(1GB+) to repair the phone. After a long download and using LG Tools to flash the phone.. it is then completely stock... requiring a "re-root" and running the FreeGee unlock again. On top of the time it takes to download/flash... users also have to deal with the instability of KDZ Updater. This new method works around that software and now uses LGNPST.
TeenyBins are meant to do the bare minimum... fix your soft bricked LG OG and get you back into your rom.. or custom recovery to flash a new rom. These new .bins are as small as 31MB depending on what we build into the .bin. This means smaller files, shorter download times and a phone that's back up and running within minutes.
Other perks include...
Unlocking the bootloader.
Preinstalled TWRP Recovery.
TL;DR
You can use this method to quickly fix your softbricked LGOG. Instead of using a 1GB+ .kdz file and KDZ Updater you are now using a 30MB .bin file and LGNPST.
Directions
TeenyBins will quickly repair your soft bricked device. They will also unlock your phone and install the latest TWRP recovery. These .bins should be safe for any E971, E973, E975, F180* device.
1. Download TeenyBin .zip and extract. You are going to use the .bin file inside along with LGNPST. LGNPST can be found in the "Additional Info" section at bottom of this post.
2. The TeenyBin LGNPST flash should take 30 seconds or less... your phone will reboot at either 67% or 85%. The flash is complete. All finished.. maybe...
3. Your phone still may not boot up!! If so you must reboot the phone.. boot into fastboot.
4. From fastboot, boot into recovery. In recovery you can flash a rom. All fixed. No rom on internal sdcard? Use adb push.
5. Nothing working? You're doing it wrong. Did you read this entire post... including everything under the "Additional Information" section at bottom?
Fastboot = Volume up + power
Recovery = once in fastboot.. press volume down, pause, volume down then power button
TeenyBins
TeenyBins will repair a soft brick, unlock the bootloader and install custom recovery.
Fastboot = Volume up + power
Recovery = once in fastboot.. press volume down, pause, volume down then power button

F180_TeenyBin-AA.bin - Chinese F180 users have asked me to make a new TeenyBin with new recovery. Here it is.
Current included recovery: TWRP 2.5.0.0 - Thank you Dees_Troy!
Additional Info
Q: I flashed the small bin and still can't boot back into my phone.
A: First of all... it's a TeenyBin... but anyway.. booting directly back up into the rom may not always be possible. Your /system or boot.img may be damaged. You were soft bricked remember... how do you think the soft brick happened? In this scenario you will have to reboot into fastboot.. then enter recovery... and reflash a rom .zip
Q: I don't have a rom .zip on my /sdcard so how can I flash a .zip?
A: Use adb while in recovery mode to push a rom to the phone. Google is your friend... look into adb push or adb sideload.
Q: What is adb?
A: Get out!
Q: Can you make *custom .bin here*?
A: Maybe... but I am lazy so make a good point.
Q: How do I know if I'm soft bricked or perm bricked?
A: For most soft bricks you will see a LG or Google logo and then a black screen. You can also still get into download mode. If you think download mode may not even work, connect phone to a Windows computer and check device manager... if the phone is detected in a "QHSUSB-DLOAD" then there's a good chance you're perm bricked. Otherwise.. you may just be a n00b and aren't doing download mode correctly.
Q: Where's that LGNPST info you mentioned?

Notice at the top it says LGNPST ACG and not some other weird version? And notice the version numbers. If yours don't match up then you installed the wrong version!!
1. COM port will show up if phone is connected properly in Download Mode. LGNPST will switch and say Emergency Mode.
2. Press the DLL button towards the bottom of Emergency tab.
3. Press the BIN button towards the bottom of Emergency tab. You should now see both both file names scrolling in LGNPST like the screenshot.
4. Press that START button.
5. A windows will pop up saying you will lose data.. you will NOT lose any personal data.. hit OK.
6. If LGNPST is working properly it will take 20 seconds or so before LGNPST hits 67% and reboots your phone. DONE. After your phone reboots at 67% or 85% it's safe to unplug and use phone.
7. If you still can't boot up, try booting into fastboot. Can't get into fastboot.. try flashing the AltBin. Still can't get into fastboot? you're doing it wrong.
Q: LGNPST Won't open and says "usb dongle not detected"
A: In the lgnpst folder where u ran the .bat to install it should be a lgnpst_acg.exe file somewhere. Copy it to your program files > lg electronics > lgnpst folder overwriting the current exe in that folder. Should work now.
Q: There's no LGNPST_LS970/dll file to select in LGNPST.
A: The install.bat should have registered your dlls but something went wrong. Check the link in the next answer.
Q: I still can't install LGNPST... help?
A: Check out this link.

Yes, I read it, but it seems not work on my system, maybe there is something wrong i download, can you pls offer another mirror?
I think the zip file could flash in recovery is better than this way.
nice job, thx.

The point of this tool is to flash when you don't have a recovery, when you can't boot, you know, soft bricked ? Making a zip file that you can flash by recovery when you have NO recovery is stupid.
Already install on my phone, thx for all of you.

Thanx for your work! Have solved my softbrick yesterday, when boot gives me "secure booting error cause: boot certification verify". Thanks to you, now i have TWRP, an unlocked bootloader and CM 10.1.
After following this guide I can access fastboot, but when trying to flash any rom from there, may it be ThinkingBridge, CM etc. I receive the following error:
Could you give me some advice, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Problem solved by deleting the line:
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "e975" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "e975");
in updater-script
Thanks to NeoPhyTe.x360

i need to make new teenybins for each and every model.
u have the E975? or was it converted from another device?
currently the teenybin includes TWRP which is made for LS970(sprint optimus g). I need to edit the recovery so it thinks its E975 instead of LS970 i think. Does E975 have its own TWRP? or any official recovery for that device specifically?

hi autoprime,
no it haven't. TWRP from LS970 is working for E975
but E975 has official CWM
Mine is a E975.

it COULD be used to unlock... but since the phone is fine then it makes more sense to use FreeGee from Play store

ROOT DEFY PLUS MB526 (MOTOROLA DEFY +) PHONES WITH BOOTLOADER VERSION 7
HI everyone!!this is my FIRST ever post and i am writing this to help all new users and beginners TO successfully FLASH ROOT sbfs in their DEFY + phone.
I would like to thank JANEINDIRAN (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4338697) for helping me to root my phone.
And ofcourse the greatest of all guides - " [GUIDE] All-in-One Defy Beginner's guide" for all complete operations of your phone written be Zephyrot.
Sumana for gifting me the defy+!
Chameleon for the root and sbf files
The ROOTING of a defy plus phone is quite tough for A BOOT LOADER VERSION 7 phone.
THE phones with firmware versions DFP 188,DFP 231 AND DFP 2311 are all BOOT LOADER VERSION 7 phones.
The ONE AND ONLY method for rooting the DEFY+ is flashing with appropriate files and i am going to guide you in that.
I am making this thread to specifically help noobs..new users..beginners..as i know you face a lot of problem..doubts..confusions..(I have faced them myself) But finally I somehow got the hang of it!!
Dont worry about bricking or any kind of problem in your phone.If you follow all these steps correctly! I may safely say your chance of bricking your phone is almost nil.(IN THEORY a DEFY + is unbrickable due to the locked bootloader provided my MOTOROLA.
Incase of bricking problems please visit: http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1618718
BUT first I am going to categorically explain several things before you proceed to ROOT your phone so that this procedure is fun and not worrying yourself !!
Please hit THANKS if you like my post and is a bit tad clear about the processes its not that complicated though!! :angel:
SO YOU GOT A NEW PHONE AND CANT WAIT TO ROOT IT!!
HERE HOW YOU DO IT STEP BY STEP AND OFCOURSE WITH COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT YOU ARE DOING
STEP 1:
The first doubt that always comes...
How will you know if your phone is boot loader version 7??
Its really easy you see!! Go to settings in your phone and right at the bottom of the list you will find about phone .Open it and READ the firmware version carefully!!!!
In that BIG number you just have to check a very small part actually!!!THE DFP number!!
IF your Phone has DFP number 231...188 or 2311...voila!!YOU have the latest BOOT loader VERSION 7!!!
and you can continue reading!!
THE flashing procedure has to be done by a computer or laptop!!So its tym to prepare IT
Just two small things to do!!
DOWNLOAD MOTOROLA DRIVERS
WINDOWS 32 BIT ------> http://developer.motorola.com/tools/usb_drivers/handset_usb_driver/
WINDOWS 64 BIT-------->http://developer.motorola.com/tools/usb_drivers/handset_usb_driver_64/
AND INSTALL
DOWNLOAD RSD LITE AND INSTALL :--------> http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=784077&d=1321414457
this is the software that will FLASH your phone!!!YOu can use to not only for root flash but also for OFFICIAL ROM flash inc ase of any bricking problems!!
ok THIS step is done too!!!
STEP 3 : CHARGE YOUR PHONE TO 100% AND PLEASE PLEASE DONT IGNORE THIS LINE!!!PLEASE!!!
ITS REALLY NECESSARY!!!REALLY!!!
STEP 4: DOWNLOAD THIS FILE!!!
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordanplus/DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CN_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B50AA009.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRIRD15_P015_A030_Service1FF.sbf.gz
Now the questions start arising from here onwards!!
The file that is provided here is an original SBF file that is being needed to flash first!!!
THis ORIGINAL sbf is a DFP 231 version.
but what IF MY PHONE IS DFP 188 or DFP 2311 !!!???????:fingers-crossed:
DFP 188 and DFP 2311 users!! YOU HAVE TO FLASH this file because the rooted SBF that we have were developed by CHINA people and YOU have to have DFP 231 to flash those rooted SBF..so PLEASE FLASH this original SBF To change your DFP to 231!! simple!!!
AFTER downloading!! extract the .gz file and inside you will find a .SBF file!!!
keep this file in a folder!!! NAme it ROOT SBF for easy reference/
STEP 5: DOWNLOAD THESE TWO FILES!!!!
-------->FIRMWARE.ZIP "http://www.4shared.com/zip/j_rzxbqW/firmware.html
-------->FIRMWARE.Z01 "http://www.mediafire.com/?ceekf679b81h6wt"
EXTRACT THE .ZIP FILE ONLY!!! inside you will find another SBF file named FIRMWARE.sbf.
PUT this file in another folder!!! name it firmwaresbf for reference !!
juST COPY and PASTE the firmware.z01 file in THIS SAME FOLDER(firmwaresbf)...and also keep a copy of this same.zo1 file right in the folder that contains the firwaresbf folder!!
hence two copies..one is inside the firmwaresbf folder and one outside it!!!
FINISHED..YOU ARE NOW READY TO FLASH!!
FULL CHARGE YOUR PHONE!!!
.SHUT OFF THE PHONE DOWN!!
STEP 6--ENTER STOCK RECOVERY...
(press the VOLUME - key and then press the power button.HOLd down the volume key untill you see a yellow triangle!!
release the volume key!!press the VOLUME+ and VOLUME- key simultaneously!!
you are in stock recovery!!

this is not right.
i have a defy red lense mb525 and foolishly flashed one of the bl7 sbfs. i rooted my phone with this method using the other thread as a guide (which i found to be quite straight forward and one of the better guides on xda) and then once rooted i did the normal cwm and stuck on cm7 euro. this root method therefore works for any phone running the bl7 (even though technoically only defy plus should have that bootloader).
Unfortunately this method doesn't work for my defy+ bl7 (bootloader error at the first flash, i could only put back the retail french sbf)
Kudos!
THANKS!
Finally success!
:cyclops:
is there any software available that will root phone without flashing the rooted sbfs........as we were doing to previous versions

Will this restore an IMEI number after a botched unlocking?
(The IMEI is good, legit, and mine--I messed up a step in FreeGee and now it reports as 0.)

This is the one I have used the last 5 times under a variety of messed up situations and it always works. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND TAKE YOUR TIME. It seems like a lot to do but it is not that bad after the first time you have all the files. Make a "Phone" folder on your computer and put all the files in there and keep everything nice and tidy. Follow the instructions and it will fix just about everything.

P.S. When you get everything downloaded and unzipped..and you start flash tools with a # you found on the internet..maybe something like 39B0-IH19-4UAO-G6T8. you have checked manual mode on flash tools and put in the file locations in the top two slots, and you finally hit the yellow arrow at the top left....it will say "waiting" for about a minute. THIS IS NOT waiting on you to plug phone in!! You plug phone in when it says ready and that window with "waiting" goes away. Do not unplug the phone either just because it reboots. You need to wait until the bar turns blue and it says complete. This happens around 522 seconds or after.
this just saved my phone from being stuck on recovery! thanks!
I wonder if anyone has solved the battery issue with this method ????
Many users report that while using this method all goes well till around 45% complete and they get a message "Can not continue due to low battery level, please charge phone fully and try again".
This despite the phone being fully charged.
A very common problem it seems.

For whatever reasons (improper rooting/flashing, power outage during updating, freezing/removal of LG bloatwares or simple bad luck etc), if you bricked your LG G Pro lite /lite dual and is stuck with a Security Error or in a bootloop, fear not, as long as you can put it into Download and Recovery Mode, all is not lost.

I had rooted my LG G PRO lite dual and while playing with different tricks it went to bootloop. Finally I recovred my mobile with all data..
Here I am explaining how to do that with both ONLINE as well as OFFLINE methods:
1) Make sure you have LG United Drivers already installed, otherwise download from below
http://www.mediafire.com/?82nt1aeh04aqa3m
ONLINE METHOD (If You Don't Have The Desired ROM Backup as KDZ file)
2) Download LG Mobile Support Tool. (KDZ Updater). Install it as administrator in Windows 7 and above.
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Mobile-Phone-Tools/Others/LGMobile-Support-Tool.shtml
3) Put your LG G Pro lite into Download Mode by switching it off, attaching the usb cable to the phone, holding the up volume button at the same time and lastly inserting the usb cable into the computer; wait for the drivers to finish loading if doing it for the first time.
Click Launch Software >>Go to options menu>> select recovery update... and wait for the flash process to finish.
(It will download the latest software online and after downloading it will update the same to your phone)
CAUTION:
Your phone may get reboot/change its mode several times during update procedure..no need to panic its normal.
Don't dare to unplug USB cable/battery from phone during upgrade.
After update is finished you will get a message window showing successful flash of the latest software. Now you can unplug your device and use it normally.
Most probably your user data will remain as it is... mine was still there but I can't assure about you....
Suppose if you are getting bootloop after this upgrade then you need to do hard reset to delete old customization and user data.
To do hard reset:
Switch off your mobile forcefully by pressing the power button continuously for 15s or if its not successful then by removing battery.
Insert back your battery and press vol down button together with power button for sometime.
FOR KITKAT INSTALLED PHONES: As soon as you see the LG logo keep vol down button pressed and release power button for a second and press the power button again just once like a click to reach the hard reset menu.
You will see factory reset/hard reset message ...release both of the pressed buttons and now you will be asked to press power button for confirming hard reset.
Follow the instructions to press power button.
Your phone will get back into factory settings after some time and reboot...if not then wait for some time and then try to restart by yourself .
If you need a separate backup of STOCK ROM (4.1.2) you can download from here.
OFFLINE METHOD (If You Have The Desired ROM Backup as KDZ file)
+ Download and setup LG Driver : here
+ Download LG Flash Tool 2014 tool and extract :
here
+ Enter to Download Mode and plug USB into your PC
+ WARNING : Remember copy KDZ file into LG Flash Tool 2014 folder
+ Run LGFlashTool2014.exe and do as following pictures :
+ If you cannot run LGFlashTool2014.exe, please install Visual C++ Runtime Library here
Normal Flash: Flash ROM without losing any data. Only use this when you need to fix system error. Beware of boot loop when flashing ROM that differ from current ROM on your phone or MOD ROM.
CSE Flash: Choose this option when you need a fresh format. All data will be gone. It's suitable for upgrading or downgrading ROM or simply use this when you need to back to Stock.
No need to choose desired language, it automatically change to English as a default setting.

Creating CWM recovery was not an issue.. we have already made a few of them but the main problem is with its installation as BOOTLOADER is locked we are unable to install the CWM/other recoveries ..as it will give an "Security Error" until and unless the bootloader is unlocked.
ya i read some of the pists bootloader is locked one of the dev told how to unlock it ... did it worked ? my pc is not working so i cant try right now

Hi!
Just win a LG G PRO LITE DUAL (D685). It is branded, but I HATE these bloatware... I just want to debrand, like I do with my sister's LG E455F Dual.
But the site I have (http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php) don't have G PRO DUAL... And your link isn't working.
Can you tell me if this KDZ will work on my phone, and can you provide another upload?
Thanks!

Nevermind, I found the unbranded KDZ. The problem is I can't flash it. In past I used FlashTool 1.8 (not B2C or R&D), but it give me an error with this model.
Any other way?
So a couple of days ago, I was using my phone when a bunch of google services or whatever started crashing nonstop (com.google.whatever was the service). So after pressing Okay for 30 seconds I managed to reboot my phone. The phone booted into android no problem, except it was as if I did a factory reset. I checked to see if I could install apps, but the sdcard had 0.00b free. Weird. This was at 9 pm so I just went to sleep a couple hours later, deciding to stop at the sprint store first thing in the morning.
So I'm at the sprint store and the guy basically has no clue why the above happened, but he says we got into the recovery mode on the phone and asked if it was okay to do a factory reset. I said fine and he did it. Now I'm stuck in a boot loop. Stopping the device from boot looping is a tricky in itself, but when I do get it to shut off, I CAN enter download mode. I rarely can get into the recovery menu (holding vol down and power on boot).
So now I get home and I'm looking up how to unbrick my phone. I come across a few guides that say to use LG Flash Tool, and LGNPST. I have the .bin, .tot, and .dll files needed to flash my phone. When I use LGFT I get a weird error, see image.

A similar error occurs in LGNPST something about a Master Bin error and primary gpt in the 512th sector. These error all occur when trying to download information from the phone, literally the first thing it tries to do.
I even tried the LG Mobile Support tool and doing an upgrade recovery. After downloading the bit the program throws an error. Nothing specific, but its probably for the same reason as above.
Does anybody have any suggestions? I feel like I've tried everything, and google searching these errors doesn't help much.
A few things. That version of LGNPST is old. You need to use 2.?? I can't remember the version but you'll find it in teeny bin thread under "Additional info".
Read the FAQ and the root guide. They'll help you get into stock recovery. It can be a little tricky til you figure it out.
So before you LGNPST, go into stock recovery, and Factory reset again and see what happens. If that doesn't work then LGNPST with the newer version from the teeny bin thread.
Edit. Sorry, just noticed the pic is flashtool. Thing is about the Flashtool is if you're unlocked it won't work right. LGNPST, once set up works great.

The LGNPST version I'm using is 2.2.3, the most up-to-date version, afaik.
The LG Flash Tool version is 1.4.1 maybe not the most up-to-date, but every program is throwing an error.

Just edited my above post sorry bout that.
Use LGNPST and use the right DLL. NOT the one for Flashtool.
When you go into DL mode press and hold vol up+down together then plug in USB. In my account at Dev host is the correct dll for LGNPST

I'm at a loss on that error. But if it's getting to 85% is it rebooting to the ROM? I have never seen it get to 100%. 67% it reboots then goes to 85% and boots up.
Maybe try to get into Stock recovery now and do a Factory Reset
LGFlashtool I have no idea. It's never worked for me, Sorry

LGNPST doesn't even get to flash, it gets to 85% when downloading the masterbin, then throws the error. The phone doesn't do anything, still sits there with "DOWNLOAD MODE" displayed

I am pretty sure that if you read the directions in the teeny bin thread, or any thread for that matter regarding the lg flash tool, you would know that at that point as far as I remember, you are supposed to restart your phone. It will never and I mean NEVER reach 100%.
here is the original post with a link to the original thread. just click the arrow.
autoprime said:
1. Download TeenyBin then extract. The .bin you extract is used w/LGNPST. LGNPST can be found in the "Additional Info" section of this post.
2. Put phone into download mode. Flash TeenyBin. The flash should take about 20 seconds. The phone will reboot at 67% or 85%. Flash complete. All finished.. maybe...
3. Your phone may not boot up! If so you must power off the phone(hold power button for up to 60 seconds).. boot into fastboot. No fastboot still? Did you flash the Teenybin[SBL Unlock]? From fastboot, boot into recovery. In recovery you can restore a backup or flash a custom rom zip. All fixed.
Nothing working? You're doing it wrong(or have a weird/broken phone. Did you read this entire post... including everything under the "Additional Information" section at bottom? Last resort would be to flash the FULL STOCK bin for your exact model LG OG.

I feel like you didn't read the entire thread. However, I still tried to follow that thread using teenybin to flash the phone. Same error occurs, the Masterbin D/L process gets and error in the 512th sector of the phone (see post #5, sorry I still can't post full links). The phone does NOT reboot on its own. It stays in download mode. Upon manual rebooting, the same bootloop occurs.

So reading your comments very carefully I see what you mean, there is a file that stops "downloading" at 85%? I thought that was the spot that it stopped at, if I remember right it says that when flashing the phone it means it is downloading to the phone.
The thread I mentioned can give you all kinds of files, you need to get the correct ones for your situation. There is even one for a virtual machine setup, at this point I would seriously suggest that one because it has every single file on it to restore your phone to stock, all partitions.
I think there is something wrong with your drivers or some software that is interfering with the restore process.
In that thread there is information regarding the irc, go there and read the "you probably wont read this" link at the top. It will give you information for what you need.
If you followed everything step by step, you will either end up with a working phone, or you have a true brick. (I am leaning away from that last one since you can get into recovery and download mode).
I see that you have only chose the dll, are you not able to also choose the bin (see the pic, middle at the bottom just above "START")?
**************************
Did you try to flash the FULL stock bin for your phone or the teeny bin? The teeny bin will give you recovery and you can restore a rom or backup from there. The full stock bin will return everything to stock but you need the specific one for your phone.

I've tried flashing the stock bin (800mb+) and the teenybin as well (in the OP on right of the LGNPST screen cap is the full bin I used). As for the virtual machine setup you mentioned, I don't see any files in that thread that would help me in that regard, most of the files besides the teenybin .bin are modem files. There is a link in the OP to another guide of his that repairs EFS partitions, but I'm not sure if that's what I need to do.
As for any confusion on what is getting to 85%; when using LGNPST the device is listed with the model, port#, process, and status. When I attempt to flash the phone, the process changes to Masterbin D/L and gets to 85%. When that happens the error in the screen shot occurs and the status column changes to "Error". The process column still says "Masterbin D/L" and the phone stays in Download mode, not restarting.
Edit: Image for even more clarification....

This is the link I am referring to. It is in the additional information section with a spoiler that says click to show content.
@Crazyglue If I'm seeing your pics right, you're using the E970 bin which is not Sprint. You need to use ZVC which you can find in the root guide. The Sprint versions from old to new are ZV7, ZV8, ZV9,ZVB,ZVC. With ZVC being our most current.
I may be wrong on what LGNPST displays, but just check your bin file.

You are not looking at my screenshot. Thats dopy25's reference pic. As for the bin file; "LS970ZVC_02.SVC_02.P25015.cab" is my file, or the TeenyBin file I tried earlier today.

A factory reset does nothing. Same with wiping the cache.
Last ditch effort to bump.
This is rooting script only for ASUS Zenfone 5 (T00F/T00J) with official WW-2.22.40.54 (4.4.2) firmware.
Upgrading will unroot your phone.
If you want to have rooted lollipop, find another rooting solution.
8. April 2017 note: I don't use anymore this phone and I can't help with questions. Rooting method should still works. Sorry for the inconvenience.
If this rooting solution doesn't work, probably you're doing some wrong. There's several thousand people (or more) from around the world which successfully rooted and fixed theirs phones. If you have any questions or problem - please read first whole thread. I'm trying answer all questions and I place the most popular in first post.
Rooting script
Read manual
Download rooting script
I want to share my work. I created github repository - feel free to fork etc.

Older version of firmware
Do you have older version of firmware? Update it and apply rooting script.
Download official firmware (select android -> firmware, and search site with phrase WW_2.22.40.54)
Newer version of firmware
I actually doesn't like lollipop and I don't provide any support for rooting newer android. Probably there are available other solutions. At this moment the 2.22.40.54 version is the newest kitkat for Asus Zenfone 5.
"No camera is found" bug
Do you have "no camera is found" problem? This script fixes this. I spend few long days to fixing "no camera is found" bug after applying shakalacka's rooting script. And I GOT IT! I mixed shakalaca and Vipin Arumugham solutions. Thank you guys!
How update firmware by sideload method?
Boot your phone to recovery mode.
When "No command" message appears, press and hold down volume button, and press once (still holding down volume) up volume button. You are now in recovery menu.
Select apply update from ADB.
Connect phone by USB cable to your computer.
Run from terminal: adb sideload new-firmware.zip
Note: you can sideload only firmware with the same or higher version. Firmware can be downgraded too, but this is little more complicated.
Unroot
Eh, really? Why do you want to unroot your phone? Use sideload method to apply firmware again (yes, with the same version). This will format your /system partition and install whole android system again.
Thanks for every mentioned person! Your comments, messages and other help is really great!

I suggest update to 2.22.40.54 first. You can download this from official website. After update, you can safely use my solution.

i'll download the firmware. one more question, do i have to boot the phone to droidbot for applying this method?
Yes, you need reboot to bootloader.
If you're on linux, just run .sh script and it will do everything for you. There's manual for other system.
Hi, thank you for this solution..
there's a chance that it could work also with 2.21.40.44? I think that most most people with this problem has the same firmware...

Is there any reason to not use 2.22.40.54? It is the newest kitkat for our phone. Just download the firmware, update, and use rooting script.

The reason is that with the previous root... you are not able to upgrade

With the old root tool you are not able to:
-make an hard reset
-upgrade to the new firmware
if you try comes out an error...

First, sideload firmware 2.22.40.54 (long process).
Second, do the basic setup after your phone turns on (unlock dev options, turn on usb debugging).
Third, turn off and go to bootloader (droidbot), do all the things in manual.
Finally, you are golden.
I'm glad I could help. Have a nice day.

Run:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
When bootloader boots, select RECOVERY option. When recovery boots, press and hold volume down, and press once volume up.
Menu should appears.

Just select "Apply ADB update" and run adb sideload filename-of-firmware.zip and wait...
It's really simple.
