Z00AD. I have the 551ml 2gb.
Download an official ROM for your Zenfone 2 and the official recovery of the version of your rom.
Boot your phone on Fastboot mode
Start shell and type "fastboot devices"
If your device is detected, you're saved
Then type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (with the .img in your recovery.zip)
Then boot in recovery mode -> Press power button + volume up button
"Apply update from adb"
Type "adb sideload UL-********.zip" on your shell
Wait and enjoy your stock rom

So you must've flashed that raw file in AFT?
Then all you have to do is flash the latest raw instead .
Can I ask you a question.
Is your serial number correct in boot loader ?

the serial that appeared in aft ? ive think (123456789abcdef)
dont know if thats the correct format
right know im searching latest raw file for ze551 then flash it to aft right then after that?
where do i get the images files that ive flash in cmd like what ive do in previous unbricking method?
and flashing thru aft with latest raw file of ze551 will required that cmd command?
Don't do anything just yet , you need your serial corrected , which if not will affect your recovery
collection of raw files on xda by realyoti.
I think .194 LP is the last one he got
You only flash it in boot loader...using AFT .
It is important to do the two part flash in AFT for restoring serial.
Check my unbrick thread , for video and AFT download...from 2:17 mins in .
Before it is xFSTK flash ..which you don't need cause you already in boot loader.
AFT raw flash from 2:17 mins in, follow procedure , at 5:56 mins in -- cmds in blue on phone screen stays on `RESULT=OK` . Shut down , force close AFT , open AFT again - load it up with raw again and press vol+ once , and finish the flash -- serial number will be corrected now ! DO NOT dislodge the data lead while doing this procedure -- let the 2nd flash finish , it will boot into system by itself , recovery will now work correctly too !
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmbRaJijIBs&feature=youtu.be
in short i will do aft two times? .. then my serial goes back to normal?..
and after flashing latest raw files will my recovery goes back to normal what i mean is i go to recovery when wipe and format belongs?

im done thank you very much for this ive already done ... im just download the latest raw file then flash it to aft then it automatically reboot and done .. ive got it latest firmware next is how to safe root ..

Hi all,
I have spent hours on google and xda trying to find a solution to my problem.
This is what happened:
I installed by fastboot mode: the boot.img and recovery.img, but mistakenly uploaded files V10. (My current version is V20)
No enters Download mode and Recovery. Instead, LED lights are lit in blue and red.
The phone runs smoothly.
I am open to any suggestions as you truly are my last resort.
Sorry for my English.

No recovery and no download mode, but you can boot normally and if yes , are you root ?
I don't understand all, you are on 20H stock version and you can flash by fastoot commands the boot and recovery ?

Aboot and laf are downgrade to kitkat, bump boot and custom recovery will also be installed
Make sure you are enable USB Debuging Mode
@bender_007 , here it's the kitkat boot witch was flashed, autorec don't work I think ?
I don't think his system is bootable, because of bootloader(don't know what else he flashed)
But autorec would run over the current kernel so it would be fine if he could boot, which he can't .
Can you still access fastboot ?

No I think of having understood that he can start normally the G3 but have not download mode or recovery mode. His g3 run slowly because of kitkat boot.
I thought of making him install alls files by commands lines because I because I am afraid that by restoring only Lollipop stock boot it's bricked the G3
Ok, let me know what you think he needs (can't look into it right now, busy) but will create a flashable

Hello everyone.
Here are my informations:
*My phone: ASUS ZenFone 2 Model ZE551ML
*System build number: CN-2.19.40.16
*My Goal: Change my firmware to WW version.
*What i have tried:
A: Fastbooted my phone to various versions (2.15 , 2.17 , 2.18) via Wugfresh through CMD (boot.img,Recovery.img,droidboot.img)
B: Downloaded the Uprade files (1.08 GB) of different versions. Copied to my internal Drive (Changing the name From WW To CN)
But the upgrade notification didn't show up. I tried everything in every forum. didn't work.
So finally i figured out maybe it is because my build number is 2.19
so i am looking for a way to change my build number to last versions like 2.15
I don't know how to flash system.img (where to find the file and how to flash it.)
I am new to these things so please help me step by step.
Thanks for your time.

Hello and thanks for your answer.
I am a Newbie
but i search all the threads. (i even learned how to root and unroot. how to flash and all.)
i did everything as said.
the only problem is that i don't get the upgrade notification in final step.
i think maybe it is because my build-number version is 2.19.40.16(CN)
what should i do... help me please.

Follow this guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/how-to-upgrade-cn-version-to-ww-t3101556
1) boot into bootloader and flash Boot.img, Droidboot.img and Recovery.img
2) Rename your UL-Z00A-WW-2.17.40.12-user.zip to UL-Z00A-CN-2.17.40.12-user.zip
3) Reboot normally and upload the zip file to the root directory of your phone.
4) Hopefully, you'll get a notification about an update being available.
As to ADB and fastboot, basically, you use adb when you're connected to usb debugging and fastboot when you're in the bootloader.
Follow step one here to make sure they're setup.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/asus-zenfone-2-flashing-recovery-mode-t3096596
If your adb / fastboot is working, you should be able to see your device when you do "adb devices" or "fastboot devices"
Have you tried this method here ---> http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2015/04/asus-zenfone-2-pre-root-systemimg.html
and for step #5 use these in command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img

Thanks for your answer.
I tried the Fast-boot step by step exactly
but i didnt get the notification for update.
is there anyway to update to a firmware directly i mean to setup the update manually?
please let me know.
the ways in the forum you mentioned didn't work on my phone. (i can flash successfully but i wont get the update notification.)
I think the reason is because my Chinese firmware version is 2.19 higher than WW version (2.18).
that is why i thought maybe if i go back to last update maybe i can do it .
Trust me i have tried many ways.
So it remain with 2 questions:
1. can i update a firmware (2.18 WW) manually?
2. can i change my CN Firmware to last versions?
And if the answer is yes please help me step by step cause this is really my first time.
Thanks for your time.

He has already done this procedure as he is saying in the op that "notification wont show up"... Flashing via adb (sideloading) is the method u can flash the rom manually.. Thats what i am saying... Dont wait for notification... Just flash the rom manually...
To flash manually do this:
Just download the previous CN version (2.18.40.12) http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE551ML/UL-Z00A-CN-2.18.40.12-user.zip sideload it via adb and then follow this guide (see #5 changing CN version to WW version) http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/asus-zenfone-2-flashing-recovery-mode-t3096596... If u still dont get any notification just flash the rom and sideload this rom via adb...There is no need of waiting for notification... You will be flashing the rom directly so you dont have to worry about notification and all... Please see first how to flash via adb... flashing via adb is the only option i see and dont use any WugFresh or anything...Just install adb and asus drivers on ur pc... Follow the steps i told u and i think u will be on the required firmware

Hey There
Yes finally it was done.
Most of your helps made me successful. Thanks
First i used fastboot to change img files the the WW version (had i not done that adb wouldn't work.)
Then i used adb to manually update the firmware
thanks so much
just one final question:
Will i get the next WW updates automatically like before or i need to download the manually from now on?
Thanks again
Hi, my phone stuck on asus logo.
I can get to cmw tempairy recovery, ithink
When. Install the firmware from asus site, its says cant verify
Failed to verify whole file signature.what shuld i do pleaae?
Okay, not enough information, since you are using cwm temporary I am guessing you have not unlocked your boot loader which will cause the fail, can you get into the bootloader?
If you can follow the instructions and download the current rooted Rom and follow instructions to flash the stock rom

You can't flash asus firmware with cwm.
You can unbrick with adb sideload.
See THIS GUIDE how to sideload
I am done here, if you choose to follow advice to try using temp cwm to fix your phone I am sure you fail, your best solution is to use bootloader to flash, everything you need is in this thread, if you choose not to do the proper research before you start flashing things without doing the proper research before then you are beyond help here.

Hi guys
I was trying to get TWRP on my ZE551ML (WW-2.20.40.198). In order to do that, I tried to unlock the bootloader using this guide. I don't believe it worked, though, because every time I tried to flash TWRP through Fastboot or the app, it failed.
So now, I don't have any recovery at all. If I go to the bootloader and select "RECOVERY MODE", the phone just restarts and goes to the same bootloader again. So I got neither the stock recovery, nor TWRP.
I did manage to root and install Xposed, though, both through adb. What worries me, though, is that if I mess up my phone somehow, I won't be able to flash stock firmware or a backup. I would actually prefer to have the stock recovery at this point.
What can I do? I need the stock recovery to flash the stock firmware, but I can't.
I've tried Asus Flashtool before, but it didn't work. I think maybe it's because I tried it on Windows 10, some users said it worked better with Windows 7.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
You fastboot flash stock recovery for .198 in bootloader state.

What happens if it's not fine? Do I have anything to lose?
You will be ok as long it is 551 , 184 and above same .184I think was last full fw and others after were incremental otas after, smallish

FYI You can flash .184 or above and have MM.134 FW on internal sd and get notification to update after a reboot

I did it, used Fastboot to flash .196 recovery.img. I can now access the stock recovery again! Thank you guys so much for the help! This was a big deal to me, I had been feeling so uncomfortable without having access to the recovery! Thank you!! Will try restoring the stock firmware tomorrow.

By the way, rather than flashing the .198 firmware again, I think it might be a good idea to flash "UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.196" from here since that will then correspond to the recovery file I flashed? Thoughts?

Should I now flash the 196 or the 198 firmware through adb? If I flash the 198, will it also restore 198 recovery? I've posted a new thread about it.
Already answered earlier at FYI above
.put MM 4-21.40.134 on internal sd and reboot
Have you not tried ?
No need for multiple threads
Ps , if don't get notification ,go to file manager and add .zip to the end so it looks like user.zip.zip save and reboot again

Oh, sorry, I didn't notice it last time around, I was too excited about getting my recovery back
But what if I don't want Marshmallow, though? If I just want to stay on Lollipop? Do I just flash 198 and that's it?

Actually, I flashed 196, and then I got 198 OTA the moment I booted . I guess that means I've got the 198 recovery too, now?
Yup , like mentioned previous , recovery will be the same from .184 lp

Make sure you have turned on adb mode in your phone and you have authorized the computer for accessing adb and fast boot.
Or may be you didn't go to fastboot mode of your phone.
You need to press and hold volume up+power button until your phone reboots. Then only you can access fastboot.
I have unlocked the bootloader,then I activated debug mode. i press and hold volume up+power button and i entered in fastboot mode.
. i installed adb driver and program. I opened cmd and I wrote :
cd..
cd adb
adb devices
fastboot flash recovery (name recovery).img
when the writing appears "waiting for devices" does not continue with installation

For that you now need to use zenfone flash tool coz you didnt make a back up of your recovery.
For that you needed to first use this cmd.
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
This would run twrp temporarily and you could make a backup of your stock recovery. Then to permanently install stock recovery you needed to do the same you did.
Now, except using zenfone flash tool you can only ask a friend if he can give u the stock recovery if he has unlocked bootloader and didnt install twrp..

Actually I am not willing to unlock my phone's bootloader right now. So I cant give it to you. But you can get it by flashing your phone with stock rom...the very first one and flash it using zenfone flash tool.

If you want to flash the stock rom I suggest you do it with adb sideload because I noticed that if you flash with stock recovery with "upgrade from sd card" ,when the phone is rebooted it is very slow.
This is the link with stock recovery:

The flash tool will flash the stock rom and in turn will bring back stock recovery.

I flashed before stock recovery with adb and then flashed the rom
