But i need to unlock the bootloader first before i can install twrp right?
Root, unlock bootloader, install twrp, flash rom. Right?

How did you unlock, officially or unofficially?
If unofficially, did u get the white ASUS: IN SEARCH OF INCREDIBLE Splashscreen? That indicates if your bootloader is unlocked or not.
White=Unlocked
Black=Locked

Steps to TWRP

Im on Z008 2.19.40.12_20150612 I cant seem to flash twrp no matter how hard I try. Im rooted and unlocked BL. Is fastboot easiest way or sideload or from twrp manager? Does someone have the download link of which IMG I would need?
Check the General resources thread, you might have to upgrade your stock firmware version.
Download twrp manager from app store. Use that.

I've tried that but what img file do I need for my firmware?
I see the new one is 2.20.40.63 what would be the right twrp img file to flash?

You must be on 2.19.40.18 - 2.19.40.22 to unlock your bootloader. Only after unlocking your bootloader can you flash TWRP onto your phone permanently...
Go to general section and check out the 1st stickied post, it will give you the info you need to do this...
I'm already unlocked and rooted. What img twrp should I flash based on my firmware?

TWRP officially support Zenfone 2 (551ML) so get from there....
I'm 550 ml now what? Can anyone just send me a link to the right img?
What are the steps to flash this TWRP recovery 2.8.7.0 OTG-USB NTFS.zip. This is for 550 ml
I'd use untethered Twrp then flash, but that's me.
Twrp manager automatically picks the right recovery.

I should be able to flash a rom through CWM that way right? I'm already unlocked bootloader and rooted and su is on my sd card. Can I flash a rom gaps and su again through CWM and I'm good? But I'll be stuck with that rom till I do perm recovery right? CM 12 not for 550 yet?

Unlock bootloader without any bugs [Official method by ASUS]

Hi there,
I want to share with you a bootloader unlock method that worked perfectly for me.
STEPS:
Download official stock kitkat rom: ROM
Extract boot, fastboot and recovery from it and flash them from fastboot then flash the rom
Download official Asus tool for unlocking bootloader: TOOL
Install it and follow the procedure
If all goes fine when you switch on the phone the background behind the Asus logo is white instead of black.
It's easy and maybe a "stupid" method but it worked on my Zenfone 5 T00J.
The firmware listed in this topic is the only for me that allowed to use correctly the unlocking bl app.
If there are problems, I'm available :good:
do you have unlocker tool for zenfone 6 ?
My bootloader is alwery unlocked, but with black background, now I unlocked with this and its white, great , I was tired of that bootlogo
Works the same as all other methods, doesn't fix "freeze" or "no camera" issue...

How many days have you used it after unlock bootloader? Try to flash some Roms yet?
And if your Zen still freeze even once... then delete this thread please.
Goodluck.

Flashing lineage os with locked bootloader

hi just to ask has anyone here manage to flash lineage os on locked bootloader?cos the new firmware has multi window and so tempted to try it.
Personally, I hardbricked the phone even with doing proper guide... Sending it back since still wararnty..
If anyone else have different result perhaps can help?
Right now I'm using LineageOS with locked bootloader. I think if you want to use with locked bootloader, don't flash the firmware provided by nijel8.

If you are not the MIUI fan, then Lineage by nijel8 is the best option to go. I am on locked BL, and so far is OK!

Still having issues to root Asus Zenfone 2

Hello everyone. I tried following most of the tutorials here listed on this website to root my Asus Zenfone 2. But I couldn't make it work.
I have an Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML and the model number is the ASUS_Z00AD with Android version 6.0.1.
Apparently made in Taiwan.
Is there any way of rooting this device with that android version these days?. When I tried with the adb tools I always got an error of unable to write.
Should I try unlocking the bootloader?.
Please help.
Thanks!.
Unlocked your BL (official or unofficial) , then flash the latest twrp for your device via fastboot then reboot to twrp recovery. In twrp flash/install your choice of root.
