Zenfone 2 quick resources
Started collecting resources here

Their are more than a few ways to root ZF2.. I chose this method after a few failed attempts with some others..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/root-newbie-root-instructions-zenfone-2-t3114063
It is important to know that in order to use root properly, as I found out the hard way, an unlocked bootloader is a must before trying to add a recovery or rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/congrats-to-bootlocker-unlocked-t3138547
The reason I say this is because I took the first update and then rooted.. This was bad.. Almost every attempt to unlock bootloader afterward failed.. Couldn't update. Couldn't factory rest. So what was I to do? Luckily this wasn't my first rodeo.. After hours of xda searching and kicking my own ass, I started to remember," hey I have a brain let,s look up Asus support for phones".. Sure enough in black and white I was saved.. Now mind you guys.. You will have to use adb or fastboot tools as almost all of these instructions require sideloading or fastbooting.. So as GP I downloaded all above updates and went through them all erasing one after the other once updated to conserve the 16gig version I'm using. So grab updates add to root of internal storage using PC and USB cable, pull from USB after downloading and Boom..Phone will auto recognize update hit install and your good..
This thread was created for anyone with a similar problems or soft bricked their ZF2..

Hi trusty XDA-peoples... I've been on the modaco forums the past 12 hours and have had no luck. I have a bung Desire after following the Apps2SD update (the goldcare and root went 100% fine). I used the old method and have just tried Paul's new method. The result is the same (I've tried it in 3 different Linux distros, it still says "device not found"). I'm only getting this 'device not found' AFTER I applied the A2SD zip update on the modaco forum (first page on the root instructs).

If anyone can help, that'd be much appreciated. The phone was on the red-triangle when this error occurs, and I've also tried it on the "different screens" (which doesn't make sense but I tried them anyway - on hboot screen and fastload screen) - still device not found...
Thanks guys.
I had a similar issue running the initial root through a virtualbox. I got this when I hadn't allowed the 'generic' android phone access through the virtual-usbs.
You have a usb driver problem.
Solutions:
1. try another computer
2. there's a free utility USBDview that lists all your usb devices/drivers installed on your computer and allows you to delete them so that they get reinstalled when connected.

Hey I apologize if this is a stupid question, what with the video, and this thread and all which is also giving advice but.... It doesn't seem to apply to me since I have a different model phone. >.>

So here goes, when I'm trying to find my kernel version all I get is 2.6.35.11, with no other information whatsoever. I reset it to factory settings (I bought it used off of ebay) to see if that may help and there was no such luck. So I took the liberty of taking a screenshot hoping that would you might be able to help me This is only my second android device (my first was a g1 that I rooted back when texts entered information into the terminal) so be gentle.

Now I'm not sure what to do at the moment, but any help would be awesome. I would really like to root my phone so I can get all this garbage software off of it. Thanks guys!
Not sure what you are trying to accomplish, you are running 2.3.5 as your android version, you can use SuperOneClick to root it ...
Or you can Use Odin to flash a custom recovery , and root it ...
and then you can install whatever custom ROM you want as long as it is compatible with your phone ...

I was going to try and link you to the method I found but I found something on AndroidNZ that I thought would work. I'm sorry if this sounds like a stupid thread, I'll try the things you guys just mentioned.

Note : Sorry if this is unclear i am typing this in a hurry. I will update this post again. Thanks!
Since you obviously don't know much about Android phones, the simplest way for you to fix this is probably via ASUS Flash tool. There are guides on how to do that here on XDA.

i used adb fastboot tool and what other tools i should use? I also downloaded the firmware for Z00ED and stock ROM from asus what else did i missed? Thanks
Update : Here is my device info. Also, i cant access the oem recovery in fastboot
The fastboot mode does not only enter black screen, nor download mode, I already tried to reinstall the fastboot by that program there but only of that error and never install, it is not recognized in the asus flash tools because the fastboot does not work, it is a brick already, I'm almost considering lost because I've seen all xda and all youtube and nothing works, rarely does it call and appear the ASUS logo and stay in it forever

Hello all amazing developers and experts,
Iam new here (if this thread is out of place iam sorry)
I need help with my MTK device Doogee MIX.
I have (probably bricked ) device. Just looping in boot with statement " red state Your device has failed verification and may not work properly your device will boot in 5 seconds.
and this is over and over..
So how this happened?
i have in my phone some important informations which i dont want to lose. I was drunk (yeah i know myfault) but i changed pattern lock and at morning didn´t remember anything so cannot unlock phone. i tried something what is called miracle box but it wrecked a phone. now in boot loop.
before that i create backup on sd card from recovery menu..( i have 27 files with .backup extension)
and thats all
phone has no root, and no permision to storage so ADB is probably not an option. Is there anything i can do?
iam amateur so iam happy to any advice. And iam totally new to something like rom flashing . i saw some tutorial but phone is still looping and cant do anything.
So is there way to somehow flash phone or somehow extract data from .backup files?
i still care about datas in phone but if there is no option to save a datas no problem just want to be able to use phone..
