ok here's what i did. Wifi would not turn on so i got CWM working and tried to flash a stock rom. it gave symlink errors and i had the latest ota downloaded to my comp so i did the sideload from CWM. it got to 100% said everything was fine so i rebooted from within CWM. all i get is a black screen.
i can do the alt sysrq i keyboard trick and goes into stock recovery, but i'm screwed from there. My device doesn't show up in device manager when in recovery mode and i can't get ADB to see it. is there anyway to get the stock firmware reloaded? I can get the console to recovery and where it says send the package to the device with adb sideload blah blah blah but i can't get adb to recognize it anymore. Please help

Just a moment ago I pushed my own custom framework-res to the phone. I had only edited some picture files inside it. After rebooting it worked correctly so I edited some more images, booted into clockworkmod recovery and tried to push in a new framework. But this time my adb just gave me an error "error: device offline".
After rebooting into revoked recovery I tried using adb again but with the same result. I also noticed that my computer suddenly installed all of the Android related drivers again, there were four different drivers it installed.
I thought it was because of my custom framework so I decided to flash my custom rom again. I didn't do a full wipe and after rebooting I got stuck in a bootloop.
So currently the only way I can access the phone is in fastboot. My computer recognizes the phone when it's in recovery but I can't use any adb commands. When I type adb devices it lists my devices but says it's offline. I tried doing the first step of the rooting process and it worked fine but after booting into recovery I tried doing the step2 but the device was still offline.
Is this because of my Windows drivers or did I screw up the Android system somehow?
You should have made a backup using nandroid. I though think you need to wipe.

Hi,
First of all I'd like to say I tried to look this up in the forum but since my problem is kind of a combination of several problems, I failed to find a proper solution.
I have a rooted galaxy nexus running 4.3 deodexed. I downloaded a Mod to flash in CWM Recovery. Did a flash and factory reset and as I tried to flash it, it gave an error and aborted the installation and since then I can't get the phone out of bootloader. I can enter recovery mod from there however, I can't boot the phone.
Unfortunately I don't have a stock rom or any other zip/img/tar etc file on my sdcard.
When I plug my phone on bootloader I get the error message FASTBOOT fail command
I downloaded adb drivers but when I try to use adb push command I get an error message saying "ADB is not a recognized as an internal or external command etc." I'm doing this on the folder where extracted adb files.
I used to skipnote nexus toolkit. But even though I can get it to recognize my phone on either fastboot or adb mode, I fail to flash / push or install anything on my phone. If I try ADB, it waits forever on waiting for ADB phase. If I use fastboot however, it gives an error message and aborts the operation.
Downloaded & installed kies on the computer. I tried ODIN to push files but I failed at that too. Seems like Odin doesn't recognize the device.
As a result, I can't use my phone right now. I'm open for any suggestions for installing a stock rom and unrooting or rooting and installing a custom rom.
Thank you all very much in advance,
solved
I used another laptop with a fresh skipnote nexus toolkit and everything worked just fine.

[Q] fastboot flash system system.img FAILED <remote: Permission denied>, need fix
Hey,
I have a ZE551ML and want to install CM. I am following the guide here. I have run into a problem on the first step which points to the guide here. At step 7 of this guide it has me use the command: fastboot flash system system.img. This fails with the error in the title of this post: FAILED <remote: Permission denied>. I have been googling this and no one has a concrete solution. Currently my phone will not even boot as the three fastboot commands before this one worked just fine and replaced the files. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Eric.
Even though it'll say permission denied, flashing recovery WILL work. From there you can either flash a custom ROM (from twrp) or reflash stock firmware (through stock recovery).
That's the only fix I've found. To flash a usable ROM and boot into it. May need to turn on USB debugging in dev options. But after doing those two things, fastboot will stop with the permission denied issues.
Hey, thanks for the quick reply.
Currently the phone does not boot at all.
What do you mean by flashing recovery?
When I enter recovery mode at the moment it says applying update and then gives me the android on its side with the red triangle and error! below it.
So i can't currently flash though recovery mode as far as I can tell.

Found a guide here dealing with this error, working on it.
Hey,
So I got my phone unbricked by flashing the recovery with the stock ASUS firmware "ASUS ZenFone 2=ZE551ML(Z00AD/Z00ADA/Z00ADB/Z00ADC) software Image: V2.19.40.22 for WW SKU only" available at the ASUS official website and following a guide at an outside link that I can't post.
Now, I have enabled developer mode and turned on USB debugging but am now getting the permission denied on all fastboot commands of the OTA guide, step 7.
Does anyone know a good next step?
Hey, managed to root the phone with: Temporary CWM
After setting USB debug on did you connect the phone to PC via USB and authenticated the PC? When you connect the phone to PC via USB with debugging on, it should pop up a window on the phone after a few seconds asking you for permission for the PC. You can checkmark the box that says always trust this computer's RSA fingerprints or something along those lines.
Hope this helps!

Yes, I did do this but I have now checked the check mark to make it always trust my computer. I then booted into fastboot but still get permission denied despite having root through CWM and having this checked off.
When I got root through CWM by the fastboot tethered recovery it gave me permission denied on all steps but it still booted into CWM recovery. I was then able to install SuperSU to root it, though it gave me an error, and I used Root Checkerr to see if the phone was rooted. It says it is but I am still unable to flash any images onto the phone since I re-installed the stock firmware.
I'm super confused about this whole thing, IDK what to do now.
Flash stock recovery again and adb sideload the stock firmware all over.
This is the latest up-to-date 2.20.40.59 firmware: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE551ML/UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.59-user.zip
If that doesn't work then idk. You can Google the permission denied errors for fastboot like I did and there are various possible problems/solutions.
So, none of this is working.
I installed the latest firmware as you suggested and got root again by using Temporary CWM. However despite anything I try (been googling for hours with little help found) I cannot get the phone to let me flash anything I always get the permission denied error.

You can still flash recovery via fastboot even though it'll say permission denied it works. That's all you really need to do as you can install stock firmware via stock recovery or flash ROMs and whatever else through twrp recovery.

How can i tell if twrp recovery is successfully installed?
Hey, took a few days to cool off.
So it does seem I can replace recovery even though it says permission denied. I do this by using fastboot to flash the recovery, then from the bootloader on the phone I select restart bootloader and then when the bootloader re-appears I enter recovery mode ( I do this to prevent the possible replacing of the custom recovery by the stock OS). However recovery mode never boots when the latest twrp recovery is on the phone, I just end up back in the bootloader. When I flash the stock recovery back on this method successfully enters recovery mode. This also occurs if I just directly enter recovery mode after flashing twrp recovery.
Any thoughts?

Same here. I'm using elevated cmd, and fastboot is recognizing my device. But I can't flash anything, can't erase cahce, can't reformat partitions. Always failed due to permissions. And I'm stuck in a bootloop, and can't get to recovery (it just goes back into the bootloop when I try). Literally the only avenue I have to interact with this phone is fastboot, and I can't do anything with it.
Hi all,
It seems I come back a n00b every few years.
I rooted my Zenfone 2 to remove some clutter and guess what I did today? I updated. Didn't know that would brick my phone but well here I am.
I followed these steps:
http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2015/06/how-to-update-ota-without-bootloop-on-rooted-zenfone2.html
Only to find that it wouldn't boot.
Went into recovery and tried to factory reset... went on for more than 15 minutes (I didn't want to stop the process....). I then had to hard reset then boot into recovery and tried to wipe cache which yielded nothing...
BTW, I think the failed wipe and reset messed up permissions as fastboot yields an error (even though the "flash recovery" bit seems to work).
I tried installing TWRP and it only boots back into fastboot. Reinstall the recovery from the link above and I can go back into recovery but can't seem to use any of the functions.
Any ideas?
p.s. I did do a few searches. Can't find anything specific about
I also tried using the adb sideload to sideload official firmware but it yields "error: device not found" and then goes back into regular recovery...

Have you installed all your drivers correctly?
In TWRP, have you gone into advanced and selected ADB Sideload? I've also had issues with sideloading, I think it's a TWRP issue though.
Here's what you can try:
Boot into TWRP and make sure the phone is detected on the PC.
open up adb
type: adb devices
hit enter
your device should be listed
type: adb push -p rom.zip /sdcard0/
-for push, it's just the command to push files to your phone. Alternatively, pull is for taking files from your phone (in the event you can't boot up and need a certain file)
-for -p, it just means show progress, so in CMD you'll see a percentage sign which is always a good thing to know
-for rom.zip you type in the location of the file
-for /sdcard0/ you can leave that, as that is the send destination and should land right in your main folder.
And once the file is transferred over, install through TWRP.
Wipe Dalvik/Cache.
Reboot system.
Profit.
If all this doesn't work, try a microsd card with the file on it.
EDIT: I just realized you meant you meant stock recovery. In that case...it should still allow you to adb sideload, but I'm not sure. As long as you can still use ADB, you can follow my instructions above.
adb push yields "error: closed"
adb sideload says it needs adb 1.0.32 to do operation...
Try using microSD, download the latest firmware on asus website, then rename the zip to MOFD_UPDATE.zip and copy it to your microSD then go to recovery mode and it'll install the update. it took sometime be patient

Recovery doeasn't have option "Update from zip" but this time, the adb sideload command worked for some reason...

in my experience, it automatically install the zip if i go to recovery
Update: Sideload worked and I've been back to stock since. Didn't want to flash because I was ok with stock but didn't want the clutter. Will find another stable firmware if need be.
Thanks again for the help!
