So i have researched over and over about unlocking bootloader, how to gain S-off, and rooting.I decided to unlock the bootloader. I struggled through some of it, as i tried on a mac first then switched to a Windows XP system. I finally got to step 12 on the unlocking process from the HTC website. After i type in fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin it says that my phone should ask me whether i want to actually unlock or abort the process(step13). Yet, my phone never does step 13? I have searched and searched and could not find any answers, i even tried calling HTC(NO help).
So, does anyone know of any way to fix this?
Thank you anyone who can help with my situation

did you place the bin file you got form your email into the folder where you have adb and all the other necessary files?
1. Download the .bin file from the attachment
2. Place the .bin file "as itself" in the folder where you kept the 3 files (fastboot.exe , adb.exe etc)
For eg. If it is in C:/Android place it there.
3. Now note two things before rebooting into recovery (a) ENABLE USB DEBUGGING (b) DISABLE FASTBOOT
4. Now power off
5. Press vol- and Power button
6. Wait until initial checking by HBOOT is over
7.Select Fastboot
8. Connect USB ( When USB is connected you can confirm it by the changing of heading "FASTBOOT" to "FASTBOOT USB" in red color in the phone )
9. In computer Run "cmd" and type in the command as such
You will see the notification in phone and acceppt it and that's it... It's Done Congratzz!!!

yes do that it will work for sure, but make sure you have done the first and second step
i just tried it on a newer computer that has windows 7, but when i get to step 12 and have to type fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin it just says < waiting for device > and nothing happens...i am on the bootloader screen (battery out, put back in, volume - and power button). What else could i try?
Ahh, i feel VERY stupid now. I hadn't realized i had to turn off fastboot. Thanks all for the help! This took me over a week to figure out i had to turn off fast boot -_-
but i finally got it to work thanks to you guys thanks for all the help !
But my question is can i turn on fastboot after i do all this? I hate taking about 2 minutes just for the phone to boot up.
Yes you can. But all custom roms do not have this feature.

Don't forget to thanks =D
When I first bought my ZL, I rooted the phone using binary4 V27 on superuser mode and that was very fast and simple. I could modify system files and do everything.
One day using my ultimate stupidness, I updated the firmware to 10.1.1.....253 then I did factory reset without doing a backup for my root.
Right now, when I go to settings -----> about ----> I get Kernal version 3.4.0 with android version 4.1.2 but unfortunately It seems like I don't have a rooted phone + I am unable to do any function of a rooted phone like modifying system files or ....etc .
I've tried million ways such as:
1- rooting the phone using the same method --------> the result is stucking at the wight screen and nothing happened.
2- Using motochopper method --------> doesn't work
3- Using the method of installing Android SDK and using the command prompt window to push (Su-busybox-superuser.apk) files to data/local/tmp/ --------> when reach sysrw step (sysrw not found)
tried to type SU (su not found)
tried to use one of the alternative commands like cd /system/usr/we-need-root or ./su-backup -----> file not found
or mount -o remount,rw '' /systemmount ---------> Operation not permitted
I will be following your instructions directly and give u the feed back
I am not gonna move anywhere until solving this issue BC I am getting crazy
I would highly appreciate your help guys , ... Thank you so much in advance
Check this out:
I did the same, was on rooted 434 version and updated to 253 and it unrooted. The 253 update can't be rooted by the normal exploit methods, but this post worked for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41727431&postcount=39
Took a little time, and everything on my phone was wiped when I had to unlock the bootloader again, but I now have my stock 253 ZL rooted and unlocked.

Thank you so much for your reply but you know, that really seems to be so complicated
Ufffff
It's a lot more simple than it looks. Here's a slimmed-down version of the instructions:
Since you're already on the 253 update, you can skip numbers 1 & 2 from the other page and just start with numbers 1 & 2 below.
1) Download from this link the 0.9.10.2beta6 version of Flashtool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201189 and run the installer. Make sure to install to your computer's HDD root (ie; C:\Flashtool).
2) Make sure you have flashmode and fastboot drivers installed for your device. Easiest way to tell if they're done correctly is to open your Device Manager (in Windows), power off your phone, and plug it into a USB port in each of the modes and make sure no errors show up in the Device Manager.
3) Unlock your bootloader with the Flashtool. It'll have you first go into flashmode, and then prompt you to unplug and plug back into fastboot mode.
4) Download v07 of DooMKernel from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230826 and extract the boot.img file from the ZIP. Place the boot.img file into this directory: C:\Flashtool\x10flasher_lib where the fastboot.exe file is located.
5) Open a command window and type this while your phone is connected in fastboot mode:
Code:
cd C:\Flashtool\x10flasher_lib
- and then:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
- and then:
Code:
fastboot reboot
6) If you miss the chance to boot into recovery after that last step, reboot the phone once it has booted all the way and when you see the DooMKernel splash screen press (repeatedly, if necessary) the volume+ button. It should vibrate once. Once in recovery, just select to reboot system and it'll prompt whether you would like to root or not. Select the option to root and once it's done it should reboot.
Then just go and reconnect (in Android OS, not flash or fastboot modes) to Flashtool and install BusyBox, and download whichever SuperUser app you'd like from the Google Play Store and you're all set!

For step 6 just repeatedly press the VOLUME+ button after you reboot your phone, and it will vibrate once after you see the splash screen for the kernel. The light at the bottom should turn fuchsia or pinkish, and you'll know it's going to boot into recovery. Once there, just select to reboot and it'll ask you if you want to root.
The last part about connecting back into the Flashtool is simple. Just boot your phone normally after it's rooted, and once your phone is powered on and USB debugging is enabled then start the Flashtool and plug your phone into your computer with a USB cable.

I had the same issue and this is what @bender_007 had me do. (All credit is his.)
READ IT ALL FIRST!!!
If you can't get into TWRP you can't do this... I don't have CWM so I don't know if it works with that...
1) Download this: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934554346
2) Get into TWRP and connect your USB to your computer. See if Windows recognizes it as an ADB device (get it do so if it doesn't) and use
Code:
adb push ls980_unbrick.zip /sdcard/
to get it onto your phone. (If you rename the file use that name.)
3) Flash it in TWRP. Unplug your phone.
THE FOLLOWING IS IMPORTANT!!!4) After flashing the file DO NOT REBOOT, go back in TWRP to turn the phone OFF.
5) Hold Vol Up and insert USB into your computer AND KEEP HOLDING Vol Up.
6) You should see Download mode appear. Flash with LGFlashTool.
7) Profit

Probably you soft bricked your phone. I got into a similar situation when I applied OTA after root. Dont worry, its very easy to recover your phone. It should be able to boot in Fasboot mode. If it does, follow follow this guide:
.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-unbrick-asus-zenfone-2-works-on-ota-fail-too-82039/ (Add www at the start)
Download the latest pre-rooted system .img from here:
mega.co.nz/#F!k4MHiAgL!dVuOKeH3eokcwPSNI79ffw
Download the stuff needed and then just follow the guide. Hopefully you recover your device. Best of luck!
EDIT: Forgot to add but did you install the adb drivers? Probably thats the reason Fastboot and adb dont detect it. Or did you go into the fastboot mode in the phone? If not, do that first. To do it, follow these steps:
1. Power your device down.
2. Press and hold the power and volume up button.
3. Release the power button when it vibrates.
4. Release the volume up button once the ASUS splashscreen appears.
5. Now the device should be in Fasboot mode.
6. Then connect your phone to your PC (dont forget to install the drivers!) using the USB Cable and go to the folder where the flashtools are.
7. Hold Shift and right click > then click open command window here
8. Type "fastboot devices". Enter the command two times. (Cause the first time it will start daemon or something like that)
If your device shows up, congrats! You are in fastboot mode and it is working.
now what do i do
i do not know what ferwere i am on and my recovery is broken how to i get it up and runing

Hey,
Could you please help me (or anyone for that matter).....I've soft bricked my phone and I'm a little weary about following any other steps incase I fully brick the phone.
I have a Zenfone 2 that was CN Z00A 2.20.40.63 , I tried to root because random chinese apps kept downloading on my phone and obv it soft bricked (kept looping at boot).....since then I have tried a lot of stuff without luck and my brain is fried from all the information.... I went to the recovery mode but ADP couldn't find my phone and then I loaded a recovery image on my SD calling it MOFD_SD.ZIP but that didn't work due to signature verification error. Now after reading what you wrote I can see that fastboot is recognizing my device....I would go through with the process but I'm afraid if I screw this one up it could be the end of fastboot working and therefore me being royally screwed.
Since my phone was naturally CN Z00A 2.20.40.63 I'm wondering if the pre-rooted images on the site you mentioned above will work? There is no download for CN Z00A 2.20.40.63 and I want to know whether it's safe to use CN Z00A 2.20.40.61 (or a WW image) or whether I have to try another option (if you have any suggestions).
If anyone could reply with help it would be greatly greatly appreciated.

Well, I'm not sure if it'll work but check this out (Scroll down to No. 4 - Changing from CN to WW version):
forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/asus-zenfone-2-flashing-recovery-mode-t3096596
I'm no expert, but to be honest the state your device is in, I don't see any other options. Because when my device (it had WW firmware) got soft-bricked, I followed the guide by androidsoul and it did recover my phone. Not sure about yours since its a CN one.
If you like living on the edge and are really desperate, go ahead try this out, if not, better wait for someone with more knowledge then me.
EDIT: I forgot but since ADB isn't working, you can't use this method. So the only option I see that you have is flashing a pre-rooted rom.
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:

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:

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
