Are you trying to access Fastboot mode or the actual recovery? Because the stock ROM doesn't contain accessible recovery, which is why you have to flash a custom recovery separately.

Hello,
I have recently updated my phone to marshmallow complete stock, then I flashed pre rooted marshmallow system.img and boot files through fastboot and twrp.img too, but I cant get into TWRP, even tho If I flash stock recovery, i can go into it. So I flashed stock recovery and running prerooted marshmallow, It seems that I've to unlock the bootloader in able to get into TWRP custom recovery. I want to use a custom rom like XOSP or CM there available. I tried the unlock bootloader app provided by ASUS but that seems to only work for ollipop. Is it really about bootloader should be unlocked in able to get into TWRP? I cant get into TWRP, ASUS logo appears and If I continue pressing power+volume down it will just hold on to that screen and restart.
Please Help!!!

so did you lock the bootloader again? if you didnt do that the bootloader is still fine.
if you were bootlooping, how did you wipe all data i.e. how did you wipe the OS?
I restored the newest stock Android One ROM using MiFlash, but the phone only boots if the bootloader is unlocked. I need the bootloader to be locked for various apps. Can someone help me
I haven't found any threads that talk about this issue so I have no idea of what to do
Regarding your signature, I believe you have Magisk installed ? If you have Magisk or TWRP installed or if you've changed anything in the system, you can not lock the bootloader, as it will prevent the device from booting. All the partitions of the device should be stock and you should not have root, in order to lock the bootloader. My advice is to flash the stock rom via MiFlash again, but choose 'Clean All and Lock' option while flashing.
Install stock 10.0.13 version with edl mode:
fastboot oem edl , and flash with miflash,then reboot the system in fastboot mode to lock bootloader with : fastboot lock oem , then boot the system and update your device with ota.
Hoping to get this fixed, after flashing a twrp tar file my phone cannot boot to rom or even recovery, but bootloops, is there a potential fix? Do I need to bootlock and unlock my phone?
What do you mean by "bootlock"?
Did you unlock your bootloader before flashing?

Yes I did unlock my bootloader before flashing, what I mean by bootlock is locking the bootloader through download mode.

Never lock your bootloader unless you have flashed back to factory stock. Locking the bootloader on modified firmware will brick your device.
When you are in download mode, look at the upper left corner of the screen. There should be a line that reads OEM LOCK. Is this ON or OFF?
Which TWRP build are you using?
Factory stock is the only firmware I'm able to flash successfully, in download mode it says "OEM LOCK: OFF(U)", I attempted to flash TWRP 3.5.2, here's the file if needed, I have also attempted to flash other TWRP versions, but none worked.
I managed to get orange fox working, and it turned out I flashed the wrong stock ROM for my phone.
To flash TWRP with odin - one of previous version of stock ROM required. On the latest versions of stock ROM it is impossible to flash TWRP - the device goes into the bootloop.
So I wanted to relock my bootloader so that I could use Netflix, Hulu, etc... When I fastboot flashing lock it only boots to bootloader. I can't flash anything with bootloader locked. When I unlocked again and flashed the stock boot and init_boot and stock recovery image I just get a bootloop into bootloader. I think the recovery image I flashed is not good. I can't even power the phone off through the bootloader power off option, it just reboots back to bootloader.
Can I get back to original stock rom and recovery?
Update. So now I'm completely bricked. I managed to switch the active slot to a, relocked the bootloader and now I just get a boot screen with red text that says the boot/recovery images have been destroyed and can not boot.
This happened because you failed to restore to full stock before locking locking bootloader. Well you could unlock bootloader again and fix it.

Thanks for the reply. I can't unlock again because it's stuck in a bootloop and won't boot into bootloader.
I will point out that recover and kernel both live in boot.img since there is no custom recovery for our phone.

recovery is it's own file, not part of boot.img. at least that's what the rollback and developer preview is showing.
