Was running MMuzzy, tried Omni, decided to go back (no statement on Omni, just didn't want to deal with new, setting up and such) and the only backup I have is in TWRP... but I switched to CM to install Omni... and like an over eager cleaner, I deleted the install files for everything last time I was in Omni... then I went into recovery, wiped and realized I need TWRP to restore my backup (no files found in CW)
All I can do is boot into recovery and I cannot figure out how to set up windows so I can put an install file on there to run so I can get back to TWRP and clean this mess up. I tried installing the Samsung drivers on an XP workstation but the computer doesn't find drivers when plugging in the phone... I pointed to the samsung/drivers folder in programs but no luck.
Bail a ding bat out?
Bump
Can anybody explain how to get this thing viewable in windows? (With no phone control)
Please.... and thank you in advance!!!
I am ready to pay someone for help on this
Help me get this back to life... name a reasonable price
Use efrant's guide in the stickys to flash the factory image and use his link for Windows drivers. It always works and his fastboot tutorial has saved my device more than once.

For my instructions, download these, you will end up using them:
1. Android drivers for windows, I would prefer Universal Naked Driver (UND):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766220
2. Android debugging tools (ADB), I would prefer minimal ADB:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42407269
3. TWRP recovery image: http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/90 download the last version you remembered using or just use the latest openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-maguro.img
Install 1 & 2 in order. You may need to have the phone boot to recovery to install #1. Installing the drivers in Windows XP/7 will be easier, Windows 8/8.1 requires an advanced step to disable unknown driver enforcement.
For #2, if you have ADB/Fastboot already, skip this step. If you don't, then you may need to install it while in recovery too. Install it to a folder you are familiar with, I would choose C:\ and make an Android folder.
After you have both installed, boot your phone to bootloader mode. When it is shut off, hold VOL + and - at the same time then press the power button for all 3 simultaneously. It will boot into bootloader mode, where you see the android and your Galaxy Nexus revision/software details.
Move the TWRP recovery img file to the location of your ADB folder. For my example, I will assume #2 (adb tools) are installed in Local Disk (C and the android folder, so C:\Android
From here you would use the command prompt/terminal start > run > cmd or start, find program Command Prompt.
In the terminal type cd\foldertoTWRPimgfile\ or in my example, cd\android\
Next, type fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-maguro.img
my example would look like:
C:\android\ fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-maguro.img
it will show a progress indicator, then OK'd when it is finished.
You can then manually boot to recovery in fastboot, hit a volume button on your phone a few times until you see RECOVERY, then hit the power button to load it. You should now be in TWRP and be able to restore your backup, hope it is still there. Since it is likely that you were last using an older version of TWRP for MMuzzy, you might notice differences if you flash a newer version of TWRP.

I have a nexus 7 2013 LTE build KOT49H
I initially managed to unlock and root using nrt 1.8...everything was perfect...there was some confusion getting adb setup though..
(for WugFresh...your instructions are fantastic but you should add a line to "check your device for the message to accept a connection for adb and select ok"...I found myself waiting and waiting, staring at my computer screen thinking that the nrt was hanging when all I needed to do was press "ok" on my device.)
Like I said...everything was perfect but I had to go one step further...
I then installed cyanogenmod 10.2 using twrp...tihs also went fine but I hated it and wanted to get back to my original google os. I had a really hard time getting adb set up once cyanogen was installed but once I finally did I was able to get back to stock again using nrt 1.8.
So now I'm back to stock image KOT49H. Everything runs fine and I see the unlocked logo when I boot so I assume I'm still unlocked.
Here's the problem..
When I try to root now, (I always run the NRT driver test until I get "success" message first) my device hangs on the "Booting modified boot.img to enable..." message.
And I mean hangs...can't even power it down without popping the cover and disconnecting the battery! Thankfully this gets me back to a running device but I still want to root this thing.
Any idea what might be wrong or where I should go to from here?
Thanks for any help you can suggest!
Did you re-enable USB debugging? Another thing is to switch to PTP mode instead of MTP. If none of that is the issue, it may be drivers, fire up wugs toolkit, hook up your device, and click the button "Full Driver Installation Guide", skip to Step 3 tab, and run the "Full Driver Test", if it fails then you're going to need to run through the steps in that "Full Driver Installation Guide, going through each step.
Well all you need to do for root is flash supersu.zip binary. If you have twrp on your device, boot to recovery. When you power on, hold down the volume down button also. When in boot loader mode, select recovery. If its not booting, you could just wipe to factory reset. Flash your supersu zip you'll be good.

All these check...I do have to switch to PTP to get adb functional and I do get success on the full driver test before I try rooting...device still hangs at "Booting modified boot.img to enable running privileged commands" message and then wont power down without disconnecting battery...
Which recovery are you on stock or still on twrp? If still on twrp, you might want to try flashing the supersu.zip yourself, just get the latest SuperSU put it on your device, and boot into twrp and manually flash it like datallboy suggests, this eliminates the PC/drivers/usb connection as a possible issue.
If you are on stock recovery either flash twrp, or if you want to keep stock recovery, you can boot into twrp temporarily without replacing the stock recovery.

I lost twrp when I went back to stock build.
Sorry...I'm real green at all of this...
You think I should:
power up to fastboot mode...select boot loader mode...then select recovery to see if it boots?
You need to be real clear for me, I'm a total newb
I would need a link to thorough instructions for wiping to factory reset and flashing the supersu.zip...I do have adt installed and have my path modified so that I can run instructions like "adb devices" in a command window but I'm unclear as to where to place files so they will be seen if I try to flash them via adt. (like I say...this is all new to me and I'm not even sure if that last sentence makes sense)

TWRP was wiped when I went back to stock build...I'm assuming I have stock recovery now but when your device freezes in fastboot mode and wont power down without pulling the battery you cable you gotta wonder if you have any recovery at all!!!
I'll need instruction on how to flash twrp again...but I believe that this is the step that WugFresh's NRT is trying to do when the device freezes.

I typed this up on the fly so pardon any mistakes, there's more than one way to do this, but I'm basing this on already having wugs toolkit installed and updated and configured for your device on the PC you're going to do this on.
Plug device in, enable USB debugging mode, connect to PC, verify you can access your device through the PC, get the latest UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.XX zip, save it to your device (in the root of the sdcard).
EDIT: OR, even better, you can just boot the device and download it with chrome or whatever and save it to the sdcard, then you can continue:
Open windows explorer and navigate to (assuming you picked the default install directory):
C:\Program Files (x86)\WugFresh Development\data
...in that window, hold down shift, right click, select "Open command windows here", in it, type:
adb devices
...if nothing shows up post back (screenshot would be nice), if your device shows up, then open another windows explorer window and navigate to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\WugFresh Development\data\Recovery_Custom\TWRP\
...and copy the img (mine is openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-flo.img) file you see in there to the other explorer window I told you to open earlier, now assuming you put the SuperSU file on your device in the root folder of the device, you should be able to do:
fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-flo.img
This should reboot your device and boot twrp (this method does not replace whatever recovery you have on there now).
If you want to flash twrp and replace your current recovery you'd want to do:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-flo.img
Then once in twrp recovery you can select flash file, navigate to the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.XX.zip file on your device, select it, and swipe to flash, reboot, run/install busybox and see what happens..it will let you know if there is a problem with root.

Thanks a ton for the instruction!
I'm starting to make sense of this.
Found some other instruction for getting twrp back on the device which I think I'll try before flashing the superSU:
They're exactly what you're describing. I've also figured out where the flashboot.exe stuff is on my computer and added twp.img file there. I'' try getting twrp on and then I'll flash the superSU via twrp.
It'll probably be tomorrow before I get a chance to try all this but I'll be sure to post back once I do.
I'm still in the dark as to why missing this superSU thingy would be causing the device to freeze up the way it does when I try to root using WugFresh's NRT...I thought that flashing twrp and superSU is what the NRT is trying to do when it tries to root my device???
Anyway gtg...thanks all for assisting...I'll post back after the flash attempts...hopefully with happy news!

Wug's toolkit is doing exactly that, the main difference in doing it manually is we get to see where the problem is.
If this fails then I would probably say you should backup anything on your device you don't want wiped, and try one click restore and try rooting again.
Good luck.

Followed your instructions...everything went as it should until I got to:
fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-deb.img
instead of rebooting the device I only got waiting for device message in command window...
is device supposed to be put in bootloader mode before entering this instruction maybe???
okay I got twrp to flash...took like .7 seconds so I guess it was already on there...
when I tried to flash UPDATESuperSU (and by flash I assume you mean install???)
I get:
Updating partition details...
E: Unable to open zip file.
Error flashing zip ' /sdcard/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.89.zip
Updating partition details...
and the in red underneath: Failed
and the 3 twrp button choices of home Wipe cache/davlik and Reboot System
I selected reboot system and then got message "this device is not rooted swipe to install SuperSU now
I swiped...and the system has rebooted and I now have SuperSU installer app icon in apps bit after running root checker I get device is not properly rooted message
I then ran the SuperSU installer app and it gave me an option to update via the play store...which I did...then ran SuperuserSU which was now updated and installed and it completed rooting...after rebooting the device Root Checker now shows device properly rooted!
THANKS A TON GUYS!!!

Curious. It sounds like a permissions problem, not sure if fix permissions would have helped (no need to try if it's working as it should).
Oh well, glad to help and that it's sorted.

Ya...something likely still abit wacky...I'll be sure to post if anything weird starts happening but for now all is good...I'm definitely rooted though...I was just able to mount a flash drive via Stick Mount and run a video off of it!
First of all, let me say this isn't my post, and I didn't develop this method. The user, "Teletype" got this all figured out and did an amazing write-up for it. I'm posting it on their behalf so it can be in this newly added forum. The link to the recovery zip is also in his original thread, which I've linked below.
Here's the link to his original thread. If you feel the urge to press "thanks", please go to his original thread and press it for him, he deserves all the credit.

I just managed to get TWRP running on the new Shield console, and installed SuperSU successfully. Two caveats: the display is upside down, and the USB host ports don't work. I had to plugin a mouse via an OTG cable in order to interact with it. ETA: That's only an issue when booted to TWRP. Everything's working fine in the stock ROM after rooting.
Procedure:
- enable developer tools / USB debugging
- adb push supersu.zip /sdcard
- adb reboot bootloader
- fastboot oem unlock
- fastboot boot twrp-2.8.6.0-shieldtv-unofficial.img
- unplug USB cable, connect mouse via USB, install SuperSU
TWRP boot image is attached. Off to explore...
EDIT: by request, some more detailed instructions:
On the Shield device, head to Settings -> About, and click "Build number" 7 times. This will enable Android's Developer options.
Go to Settings -> Developer options, and enable USB debugging.
Install the ADB/fastboot drivers and utilities if you don't already have them. When "adb devices" shows your Shield, you're good to go.
Download and extract recovery.zip from this thread.
Head to the SuperSU forum and download the latest version.
Open a command prompt and navigate to the directory where you downloaded everything. (Google this for your OS if you don't know how).
With the Shield still booted, run "adb push supersu.zip /sdcard" (change supersu.zip to appropriate file name). This will upload the SuperSU update zip to your device, which you'll install from TWRP.
If that worked fine, run "adb reboot bootloader". Your device should shut down, and display the Fastboot screen after a few seconds.
FOLLOW THE NEXT THREE INSTRUCTIONS AT YOUR OWN RISK. This WILL wipe all your user data, back it up with ADB first if you want to preserve it. DISCLAIMER #2: I have no idea if there are any DRM keys or anything that get wiped when this is done (this was the case on my Xperia Z3 Compact). I will say that Grid streaming still works fine after doing this.
This step will unlock your bootloader to enable booting unsigned images.
Run "fastboot devices" and make sure your Shield is visible.
Run "fastboot oem unlock" and follow the prompts on the screen. Your bootloader is now unlocked.
Now, boot the TWRP image with: "fastboot boot twrp-2.8.6.0-shieldtv-unofficial.img" - Note: I used this instead of "fastboot flash" so I could keep the stock recovery around, to grab an image of it after rooting.
You should now see a TWRP recovery menu (upside down for now).
Connect a keyboard or mouse via OTG cable, and select "Install", navigate to your SuperSU zip, select it, and follow the prompts.
Click "reboot" and you should now be rooted.

does this have to be done with an otg cable
You can use the supplied micro USB cable to do the adb portion. You shouldn't ever need otg with this device since it also has 2 full sized USB ports.

Instructions got updated
Hi,
I have updated the instructions to ones that more closely aligned with my experience of doing this. The initial instructions were good for me - but some were in slightly the wrong order or not quite clear enough to be immediately intuitive. I've tried to fix that Hope it helps.
On the Shield device, head to Settings -> About, and click "Build number" 7 times. This will enable Android's Developer options.
Exit settings, then go back in to settings -> Developer options, and enable USB debugging.
Install the ADB/fastboot drivers and utilities on to your PC if you don't already have them. When "adb devices" shows your Shield, you're good to go.
Download the latest Super user zip file from the super user thread here.
Download and extract the recovery file from here. (it needs to be a .img not a .zip)
run "adb reboot bootloader". Your device should shut down, and display the Fastboot screen after a few seconds.
FOLLOW THE NEXT THREE INSTRUCTIONS AT YOUR OWN RISK. This WILL wipe all your user data, back it up with ADB first if you want to preserve it. DISCLAIMER #2: I have no idea if there are any DRM keys or anything that get wiped when this is done.
This step will unlock your bootloader to enable booting unsigned images.
Run "fastboot devices" and make sure your Shield is listed when you do so.
Run "fastboot oem unlock" and follow the prompts on the Shield's screen. You use the power button on the shield device itself to navigate the menu, and long press to select an option. Once you have confirmed, this can take along time to unlock (hour and a half for me on the Pro version). Your bootloader is now unlocked.
"Fastboot reboot" to reboot to AndroidTV.
run "adb push supersu.zip /sdcard/" (change supersu.zip to appropriate file name that you downloaded earlier). This will upload the SuperSU update zip to your device, which you'll install from TWRP.
Now, boot the TWRP image with: "fastboot boot RECOVERYFILENAME.img" - Note: I used this instead of "fastboot flash" so I could keep the stock recovery around, to grab an image of it after rooting. (change the name of the file in the instructions to the name of your recovery file that you downloaded).
After a short while you should now see a TWRP recovery menu.
Connect a keyboard or mouse via OTG cable, and select "Install", navigate to your SuperSU zip, select it, and follow the prompts.
Click "reboot" and you should now be rooted.

We have a factory supported way to unlock and root. No real point in trying to exploit the system. If you are rooted, you should have a custom recovery anyway, which means you need to unlock the bootloader anyway in case you need to fix something.

You'll get the OTA notification but I was not able to install the OTA. You will need to download and new firmware and flash from fastboot.
Can I still root it this way if I already updated to 1.4 as I'm still fully stock and took the OTA
Im asking the same, im on the latest as of 2015 10 19, can i root using this method ?

I struggled to get root with this write up, and I am not a rookie. There were a few key steps missing, for example, you actually have to flash twrp, you can't just boot from twrp as suggested, if you are on 1.4 and up. Also, you have to let the unit reboot after you do the OEM unlock before flashing twrp. I didn't and mine just froze after flashing the recovery img. I found this write up http://nvidiashieldzone.com/index.php/shield-android-tv/root-shield-android-tv/
That one in the shield zone forum was so much more complete. And yes, it worked just fine with the 2.1 update. I did it yesterday with no problems. It will wipe out your data, and it will take a long time after you do the fastboot oem unlock, especially if you have the PRO version. But root is working with no problems.

Do you want to build pre-root shiled TV firmware by nvidia open source? and have experience?
Rooting.
KingRoot dose not work on this device.
Good guide thanks.
OK i have a 16gb model on 2.1, got adb hooked up but get this when trying to push supersu.zip to sdcard0:
C:\shield>adb push supersu.zip /sdcard1
failed to copy 'supersu.zip' to '/sdcard1': Read-only file system
Any ideas?

You could have been frustrated with all the features that’s supposed to be in your New Huawei Watch is nowhere to be found. Like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Language Selection are all hidden in the China Stable Rom of the Huawei Watch.
I have talked to the CSR of Huawei in China, they honestly told me that the Wi-Fi certificate for the watch is not yet certified that’s why they cannot unleash it yet but it is embedded inside the watch should future updates allows the Wi-Fi to be used. Regarding the language selection, local China release is locked to Simplified Chinese, whether you like it or not.
If you happen to buy from China or received a gift with a China local release Huawei Watch, here is the guide on how to flash with an English Rom which I have already tested mine on.
Here is the complete guide:
Step 1: Put the Watch to Fastboot Mode
1) Hold down the power button
2) The screen will go black for about 2 seconds and then boot into the Huawei logo. Keep holding down the power button.
3) Wait for the first vibration, release the power button and then immediately give the power button one short press.
Note: If you feel the second vibration, you waited too long to do the release and press. Start over again with Step 1.
Another alternative for Step 1:
1.) Install ADB SETUP V1.3
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_1zjuazXSqbQ0p6NWtvRk9OMzA/edit
2.) Enable ADB and connect to computer
How to Enable ADB:
- Go to About
- Click 5 times on Build Number to access Developer Mode
- Go to Developer Options
- Enable ADB Debugging
3.) Go into command prompt mode
4.) Reboot watch into Fastboot mode using this code:
adb reboot-bootloader
Step 2: Unlock the Bootloader
1.) On command prompt mode, type this command: Fastboot Oem Unlock
2.) accept the prompt on the watch.
Note: If successful, command prompt will say your bootloader is already unlocked.
Step 3: Flashing
Download first the three files before proceeding:
Boot Img: https://mega.nz/#!rgRQHRrb!lgQCvqH-qkuqitPRRXfCad29MdmJ6ynaUHJDr0hjeLM
Recovery Img: https://mega.nz/#!ahgjxA4R!y8Hb0CBVBRwUr0tA3HeFrrqh0ALAiMyqJu0pLsBsAD8
System Img: https://mega.nz/#!2pYVBDpA!wQJT8LDcffk7uxEmrsqna6MKWIODD-FqBO_k4Poml7g
After downloading the three files, lets proceed:
1.) While on Fastboot mode, type this on the command prompt one at a time:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
2.) and then go to recovery and do a wipe data / factory reset.
Congrats! Your done!
Further Reading if you are stuck on flashing System.img
There are some reason beyond my explanation why the system.img cannot be flashed to the watch, here is the workaround:
1.) First of all download the TWRP and fastboot boot it:
TWRP download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3505656&d=1444766757
Code:
fastboot boot TWRP2.8.7.0-Sturgeon.img
2.) Now your watch is in TWRP and you can no longer use ADB commands, go to your watch and select Advanced, then select ADB Side Load
3.) Going back to command prompt, push the system.img in the sdcard so:
Code:
adb push system.img /sdcard/
4.) Now flash it:
Code:
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system
5.) Reboot.
Now you may encounter bootloop after flashing which I did, go back to Step 1 Fastboot mode and select Reboot Recovery, then wipe data and then clear cache, then you are good to go!
This is the most complete guide I can come up with based on my own explorations. Hope this helps.
Where can i find the drivers for this watch.
When i plug this watch into my computer Windows doesn't detect the drivers. I've tried looking on the HuaWei website but there are no downloadable drivers. Any help?

Look here : https://m.reddit.com/r/hwatch/comments/3n9ckp/how_to_get_adb_access_over_usb/
"Fastboot Oem Unlock" should be "fastboot oem unlock" otherwise it won't work. Also make sure to have ADB 1.0.32 at least for watches!
hello!
i do all step and complete flash with twrp mode . but when reboot and will go to reboot recovery the watch restart and restart!
sry for weak english!

Hi, first of all thanks for this awesome guide.
This is the first thing I am looking for after bought a Chinese watch from China.
Manage to go through ONLY I tried key in "fastboot oem unlock' all in small letters.
Then follow the guide instruction to goto recovery to wipe data after successfully go through the other flashing steps smoothly.
This is where I got stuck in infinite looping in Android lying and screen flashing every few seconds. I got panicked after trying multiple times failed to recover from this symptoms for a while.
Until finally manage to pull back to fastboot menu by keep press holding onto the power button. The steps of holding till first vibration then do a quick short press doesnt work.
I am glad that now I am back to normal with the English screen.
Next I will proceed to flash the TWRP and 1.4 update.
Hopefully everything goes smoothly.
Thank you for the guide once again and wish everyone success in updating and Enjoy!
Update: (9:29am)
Did a system update. Before was something like LBC49A, after system update it becomes LBC43B. I suppose this is 1.4 update as the name is the same.
Hence decided not to flash the TWRP recovery for the time being if it can continue auto system update.
Update (9/3/2016):
Sorry, nvr read through all the posts. Was thinking that (LBC43B) was the latest update.
So proceed to flash TWRP recovery then try to update to MEC23L (latest update) but failed to run "adb sideload update.zip"
Every time once enter into Recovery mode, the connection dropped. Then tried to do OTA update by factory reset as suggested but failed (confirmed my location can OTA as one use from same location didi it.)
This morning went back to PC flash back the original Stock Recovery from here.
Restart the watch and goto System Update, receive message "Charge the watch to update to MEC23L"
My thot - OTA only allow with Stock Recovery?
Update done but still cannot sms. ??
Btw, for LBC43B, many functions cannot work properly like sms, call and no sound at all. Thx n Enjoy.
P.S. Using Minimal ADB and Fastboot, PDAnet driver(for watch USB driver), running on Win7, connect via watch USB charge docking station.
help me please
No OS installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?
This is my problem, I can´t install it-
I send you a private message Richboy234, can you help me please?

Hi, I have a problem, when I do this :
"select Advanced, then select ADB Side Load" after 4 or 5 minutes processing it saids "failed"
and then I can do this step "adb push system.img /sdcard/"

Any idea please, thank you.

Hi there
All i know is you can flash the stock rom then update via OTA
mine is running marshmallow already now MEC23L
This is the safer way coz i never tried to flash in the MEC23L
Cheers!

hi there
i think you need to do a further reading on the one after step three
there are chances that you will get stuck in flashing the system image file
there is a workaround.
try it again
hope it helps.

Hello,
I'm also encountering this error. I did try the first method, and I'm getting stuck on activating ADB Side Load. Any tips?
Hi, there's a problem and i can't mount partition /data and /cache
plz help
Thanks a lot man you are a gem
I in hurry formatted system from twrp and was without OS. very detailed tutorial for beginners with adb. I am back with watch booting fine now
Just a note. I tried doing this while in China without vpn access for my phone. This made it so I couldn't sync up or pair because it kept trying to access google which was blocked. Once I got back to Canada I was able to do everything and update to newest OTA. If you leave it on chinese rom you can use in china and pair with the Android Wear China version app.

Not sure if he got back to you. I had the same problem, and it involved the system.img that I downloaded from the link above. It wasn't complete for some reason. On this thread attached, it has a zip that has it all. My watch works fine now. I want to thank the OP here for showing me the steps to take. You all ROCK!
Hello All,
I would like to start by saying that I am a novice when it comes to rooting phones so ANY help received here will be greatly appreciated. I have come across a few people within the various forums who have a very similar issue to the one I am having, but nothing exact. Now to the point.
Phone: Zenfone 2 (Model: ZE551ML-23-4G64GN-BK) came unlocked from amazon.com
Carrier: Metro PCS.
PC used to root: Win 7 64 bit / AV: Avast Free.
Issue: About 1 month ago I rooted my phone. Last night I received a prompt to do an OTA update, and selected install. I realized after that I shouldn't have done that, but it was too late. My phone would not load past the black and white ASUS loading screen.
I then proceeded to do some research online, and try to "unbrick" my phone myself. I figured out how to hold the power button + volume up key, select Recovery Mode with the power key, and press power + volume up again to get into the Recovery Mode. I was following some instructions online that didn't really make sense, which led me to choosing Wipe Cache Partition. This didn't work, so I had to manually reboot the phone (Hold the power key, and turn it back on). From that point forward I have been unable to get back into the Recovery Mode. Once I get to the sleeping android with the red triange I have tried holding power + volume up (which got me into recovery mode the first time), power + volume down, power + both volume up and down, I've rebooted my phone several times to make sure I was doing this as soon as the little android appeared and nothing happens. The android just pulses in and out and nothing happens. This is the first of my many problems as I have never flashed a ROM before, and I am a novice. Also my PC does not recognize my phone at all at this point. I'm using the same cable and port that I always use when transferring files. The port has been tested with a tablet and iPhone, which works. My questions are as follows:
1. Am I screwed? lol.
2. Is there a way/trick to getting into recovery mode again?
3. Can I still unbrick my phone without getting into recovery mode? Is there something I can do with my phone connected to the PC perhaps?
I would also like to mention the following:
1. I've downloaded firmware Version V2.20.40.160 from asus website. Is this the right "image" or 4 files I should be using to flash onto my phone?
2. I've also downloaded ADB, but it doesn't look like the 15 second one, and it does not detect my phone. What tools do I download in order to fix the issues I am having?
Thank you in advance!
Best regards,
Clavin0089
For anyone who may have found this thread I think I found a fix here. I will let you know after I test this if it works:

i was in same sit with a brick of sorts and used this guid to help me:
> http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2015/12/how-to-downgrade-asus-zenfone-2-firmware.html *** I used this to go from the 168/174 ( 174 didnt fix issue that 168 caused ) back to 160
> http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2015/03/zenfone-2-how-to-enter-recovery-wipe.html *** How to enter recovery if you dont know how
make sure the phone is plugged into a usb2 port and not a 3.0
what got me is when i installed adb, it put adb files in a default directory on my hdd, so i just copied the files to the folder where where i had all files at See below
i used the .160 file to restore my phone and it worked..
now if phone isnt detected yet, you may still need files. have you tried iSocUSB-Driver ?
I followed the steps outlined in the link:
http
://valuestuffz.blogspot.com/2015/10/fix-zenfone-2-stuck-in-recovery-wipe-cache-partition.html?m=1
And everything appeared to have gone smoothly, however, now my phone just loads, and will not enter the home screen. I just have that ASUS IN SEARCH OF INCREDIBLE screen now. I was able to get into the recovery mode, but it doesn't appear to have worked. I also received the "Permission denied" errors mentioned in the link. Any suggestions?
My phone is now detected by the PC for the record.
didn't know of that but it has same steps but one I linkd easier to read and doesn't have wall of text.....
did you push the 3 required files via adb on bootloader screen ?
if so did you push the rom file in recovery once you selected adb sideload from the list ?
remember you have to follow the instruct exactly and be on correct screen when you push the files....
first boot takes some time

I did push over 3 files, but when I downloaded the .160, it only had droidboot.img,and boot.img. I tried both .168 (Which may have been totally wrong, but had all 3 files) and .160 from the asus website where you can select firmware. I did the .160 most recently. I put the recovery.img, droidboot.img, and boot.img into the adb folder, and ran the following CMDs:
Fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
I then used adb sideload CMD to load the .160, and it reached 100% and said successful. I attached a screenshot of what the "permission denied" CMD looks like.

Tonight after work I will try the links you suggested to me once more, and let you know the results. I sincerely appreciate all of your help here! Thank you very much!
anytime...
i never seen/encountered that error message before... try adb kill-server command if you run into any issues. when you start again it will load automaticaly... have you tried different usb ports? stay on usb2.0 when connected and try original oem cable that came with the phone. if you dont have it, try different micro-usb cables ( i had issues when i had my lg g3 being on a usb3 port, so i made sure mine was plugged in a 2.0 port )
Currently i am on beanstalk, and want to go back to stock.
I flashed the stock recovery via fastboot, but when i enter into Stock Recovery mode, it gives me Error icon.
The whole process is to flash the stock zip via sideload, but i am not able to enter the stock recovery.
The stock version i am trying to flash is 2.20.40.160.
I flashed all three files, Droidboot.img, recovery.img, boot.img.
And then turned the phone off, and now it is stuck on Asus screen. Urgent Help!!
btw when u see that error icon, nothing is actually wrong.... you have to hit 2 buttons simultaniously to enter recovery.
see > http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2015/03/zenfone-2-how-to-enter-recovery-wipe.html on step 6, this is normnal.. once u do button dance, you will enter step 7 and select flash via adb.. then you flash the rom file
