How to Enter "Recovery Mode" on Asus Zenfone 2
Turn Off your Zenfone 2
Hold Power button + Volume up
When the phone is vibrating release the Power button
Then the Display change like this
You can select "Normal Boot" or "Recovery Mode" by pressing Volume Up/Down, to enter Recovery choose "Recovery Mode"
Then you will see sleep Android Robot, Press Power button and Volume up, after one second release the Volume up
You will see Asus Zenfone 2 Recovery Mode
after that follow these steps and BOOM BAM !! I DID IT
Download and Install ADB and drivers on your PC.
Download the latest Stock ROM from the Asus website by visiting the following links. If your device got bricked after a recent OTA software update, wait a few days while Asus uploads the latest Stock ROM. On the page below, select Android as the OS and then expand the Firmware section. For non WW devices, please check your regional Asus website for the download details.
Zenfone ZE551ML Stock ROM
Zenfone ZE550ML Stock ROM
Copy the downloaded Stock ROM to the folder where you installed ADB (Generally C://adb)
In power off state, press and hold the Volume Up key and then press and hold the Power Key till the phone vibrates. Release the power key at vibration, but keep pressing the Volume Up key. Wait for the phone to boot into fastboot mode.
In the fastboot mode, keep pressing the Volume Down key till you see Recovery Mode. Press Power Key to select it.
In recovery mode, select Apply update from ADB.
Connect your phone to the PC and open the ADB folder. Right click while holding down the shift key and choose Open command window here.
Pass the following command in ADB. Replace file.zip with the name of Stock ROM zip (eg: UL-Z00A-WW-2.19.40.22-user.zip) downloaded in step 2.
adb sideload file.zip
Wait for the process to complete as it will take a couple of minutes.
Reboot the phone when it is all done and hopefully your Zenfone 2 will be boot up fine, alive and working again.

no recovery menu - phone restarts everytime i try to enter recovery

Does the zenfone2 have a fastboot mode to flash the firmware manually because flashing Ota updates bricks if you never unrooted you phone. So you should just flash the firmware you were already on then unroot then flash the Ota update

adb is not able to detect my phone. is there any other way to flash the phone ?
and i am just a bit curious to know if its possible to directly flash the phone with CM12.1 without having to go through all those steps (installing the older version and unrooting and installing the OTA) ?

and how can i flash the original rom when adb doesn't detect my phone ??

[Q] Bricked

Hey,
today i wanted to flash the hydro-rom on my p6 running pac-man-rom.
i thought i could flash it over, because they both need b118 cn, but no.
my p6 got stuck at the boot. i tried to get into the mode, where i can update original firmwares, because the b118 cn - update.app is still in the Dload folder..
now there is 1 big problem:
i have twrp-recovery, it has overwritten the hotkeys which i need to get in the "Dload"-mode (Vol Up + Down + Power)
so if i want to get in the "Dload"mode twrp recovery starts.
i googled a lot and found something about "adb", the same thing, i cant get my phone in the fastboot mode and i cant activate usb-debugging because i cant start my phone, just in twrp-recovery...
it would be nice, if someone could help me soon
PS: if someone has the stock recovery or a stock rom which i can flash with twrp, please post it here, it would be enough to unbrick my phone

Its Not A Big Problem. Goto Twrp And In Reboot Menu Select Bootloader
Connect Your Mobile To PC
Download Adb And Fastboot
Download Stock Recovery http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760973625
Extract Recovery.img And Paste It In adb folder
Open Command Prompt In adb Folder
type :
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
then
reboot your device while pressing vol + and vol -
After all that while pressing volume up and down at once, keep pressing the power button also, so press all 3 buttons at the same time.
thank you both, worked

ZenFone Go ‏(ZC500TG) Boot Loop How to fix?

Hello,
Recently I got my Device updated to last firmware, and since after all problems started to appear.
I tried to Download last firmware from the page and to manually install it but failed since mobile is not PC can't read the mobile on USB. (zip file doesn't contain recovery.img or system.img)
When I use recovery from boot screen it shows the logo and stuck
Mobile is not rooted or anything, if there's anyway to recover it, I'd be glad to hear it.
zc500tg boot loop
same problem for me after the last update
I can't enter to recovery mode. tried some combination like volume down + power , vol up + power , vol up + vol down in "no command" page but i couldn't see the recovery mode options
hey I found the solution
1. Turn off the phone, either by regular shutdown or by removing and reinserting the battery.
2. Hold volume up+power button until phone vibrates.
3. Phone should boot to Bootloader Mode. In this mode, volume up is select, volume down is "OK".
4. Using volume up, scroll to Recovery Mode and press volume down to confirm.
5. When you see the "No command." icon, hold power, and press volume up once to access Recovery Mode.
6.download the firmware zip file . place the firmware file on your microsd card and insert it to the phone.
Go to recovery mode>choose apply update from sdcards>choose the firmware you copied earlier>then wait for process completed.
If the installation completed choose reboot system firmware.
The asus logo loading will take upto 7-8mins so be patient.
I'm pretty sure he said he had updated to a later ROM, and the bootloader unlocking isn't there(last version was v39, i think).
OP, if you can, try to reboot to recovery mode, it should be able to let you connect the phone as MTP(storage).
Upload an older ROM to the phone, and then use the recovery to update it with the .zip you uploaded.
Hope it helps! Good luck!

not getting into recovery mode

i was updating the zenfone 551ml to marshmallow so manually downloaded the update file and put it in the root of phone. phone detected the file and said to install update. firstly it was installing but after few minutes fastboot mode displayed on phone by itself and phone struck in it only no other screen came.
now i followed this guidehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-brick-soft-hard-bricked-zenfone-2-t3284256
and used XFSTK load Downloader v1.7 downloaded the three files and clicked download in xfstk.
it completed sucessfully.
now my phone booted up on its own and is working fine.
but not able to get into recovery mode as before power+ volume down does not work, if i go to fastboot mode using power+ volume up key and select recovery mode the phone reboots back to andriod os.
Also tried to flash using the Asus flash tool but the device is detected for a sec and then diappears under device manger as moorfiled device.
pls help me get back in recovery mode

Tried flashing CM13, now can't enter normal boot

So I already had a rooted (and I'm pretty sure unlocked bootlader) version of the stock Asus and wanted to put CM13 nightly on there. Everything was going smooth until I got to the stage where I have to load into TWRP and I got the error screen with the little dead alien and the red symbol.
Now I can't enter normal boot, but entering recovery mode seems to work. I tried the option to side load a package from ADB on that screen but nothing worked (.zip files extracted, but I got an error on the phone).
As you can tell, I'm really new to this so any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried looking around, but it seems the more common issue is people not being able to enter recovery mode or something similar.
Thanks
Looks like your doing it wrong. Being rooted does not necessarily mean that your bootloader is unlocked.
By the looks of it your in recovery mode with the dead robot with the "error" message. That is normal. To reboot back into system you either have to press (I don't remember) power button and volume up or down button. Then you should see some options with reboot to system. Or if that does not work you can hold the power button till it turns off.
Then you get back into Android, download the official bootloader unlock tool from ASUS and install it on your device. NOTE: If you updated to MM then this will not work and this will void your warranty.
Run the tool and press unlock and it should reboot into fastboot where it should begin the unlocking process. I believe it should automatically reboot and you should see that the Asus logo is now black instead of white. If not, repeat the process.
You can now proceed to flash twrp recovery. Boot into fastboot/bootloader mode either with "adb reboot bootloader" or hold a specific set of buttons while off to go directly into fastboot.
On the computer, connect your device and type in "fastboot flash recovery (path to twrp IMG without brackets)"
When done you should be able to reboot into twrp recovery where you can flash the cm13 zip.
Hope this helped.
