Zenfone 2 CM13 (i need help please) - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I tried to install CM13 on my zenfone 2 using a tethered custom recovery and now when I apply the update and restart, I am redirected to the bootloader menu. (cm13 and gapps install but when i restart i go back to reboot i go to bootloader)
If possible help me make it stay on cm13 or marshmallow
i have zenfone 2 1080p

I'm not 100 percent sure, but I believe you need installed TWRP. Tethered wont do. I could be wrong tho.

When i try to install it via adb (flashing twrp.img) it either does not see my device or it says it is unauthorized

Is your bootloader unlocked?

I have the same problem, I followed a guide I found here on xda to unlock the bootloader of the ze550ml mm beta, problem is that, after using that guide and supposedly unlocking the bootloader, using the twrp i found in that guide i tried to flash the latest cm13 build for my device but it always goes to fastboot, also the only recovery that works is the twrp I found in that guide. Please help me fix this.

By unlocked do you mean if I can get into the bootloader or into the stock recovery. I cannot get into the stock recovery but I can get in the bootloader

Do you have the advantage drivers and fastboot installed on your pc? Did you go into developer mode in your phone and turn on USB debugging? Lastly, did you authorize the pc to debug your phone? (the authorization screen that pops up the first time you send an add command to your phone)... It sounds like one of these issues are your problem

I used an app called Quick Boot from the Play Store. Works great.

Does it only boot into Recovery or does it flash it too?

No but it easily gets you into fastboot. Use the bootloader selection. Use adb to flash.

There is a Flashify thread in Android Development and Hacking. Maybe the developer can help you get the app working.

what do you mean by "stock recovery" did you use it to flash HTC recovery back onto the phone?
to get to hboot you can do it a couple of ways. the main way is to power down the device and hold vol - and power and keep holding it till you get into Hboot. it will act like a normal boot but once it gets to the splash screen it will soft boot then show hboot.
if you have adb set up you can just open a command prompt and type:
adb reboot-bootloader

HTC ONE Complete Data loss Stuck in TWRP

So somehow my HTC One m7vzw was wiped completely of everything from the ROM, system and data to recovery image, etc. Now I cant access the developers options to turn USB Debugging on. Is there anyway to recover from such an ordeal?? HELP PLEASE !!!!!!

There is an ADB push option in TWRP which should let you put a ROM on the phone using:
adb push PUTROMENAMEHERE.zip /sdcard/.
or
You should be able to RUU something back onto the phone. Try to get to fastboot by rebooting to the bootloader from TWRP. Then you can use something like:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485319 Firmware update if needed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2437436 RUU image
or
Alternatively, if you have an OTG cable you should be able to select a flash drive as a source media in TWRP.
I had a similar issue a few days ago when I wiped everything including my internal storage without even thinking how am I going to get the rom.zip back on the card (all my previous phones had SD cards).
In order to avoid flashing RUU I used sideload in TWRP to load rom directly through ADB. the only issue I had was with the drivers because for some reason my PC wouldn't recognize the phone (even though I used the same PC to root it) so I downloaded universal drivers that I found somewhere on the XDA.
unfortunately I don't have the links saved but if you search sideload and universal drivers I'm sure you'll find it.

To activate Developer Options, go into Stettings, then About Phone, then find Build Number. Press Build Number seven times.

You must have misread his post. Everything was wiped. There is no way to go to settings, etc. There is no rom.

Your options are to boot it to the bootloader manually by holding power and volume down, then go to fastboot and push a recovery to it, from there you can also push a Rom to your storage and then use recovery to install your Rom.

Once you have a recovery on there now just push a Rom using fastboot. Then boot into recovery and install Rom or if you already have a Rom on the internal storage just boot recovery and go from there.

When I try using adb sideload in twrp the progress bar just keeps spinning.
Sent from my XT907 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Instead of side load can't you push a rom through the pc in fastboot? Drivers on your pc may not be working properly with sideload.

I have nothing on internal. Like I said all is wiped

you can try
You will need to reboot to recovery and enter fastboot
not sure if this is exact so research it lower case and caps are needed the way they are done in tuts i used copy and paste then edited
enter command prompt window change to where your adb stuff is
fastoot devices if you get a response with sn great
fastboot oemRUU
fastboot flash zip imagename.zip where imagename is the rom you want to put on
for recovery it is like
fastboot flash recovery imagename.zip where imagename is your custom recovery

Well I got it to get into recovery. I ended up using a HTC ONE all in one kit. So I got a stock like ROM and radio and firmware to get me going. Thing is now is when I try to sideload any ROM I keep getting stuck in either a bootloop or at the Boot Image. I still have SuperCid. I tried using the how-to on changing "mid" so that way I can use any variant ROM. But apparently I dont have a way to re-zip files So now going trying to sideload CM10.2 with GAPPS. Thing is is what I do sideload I cant find in storage. I just cant figure out why a few ROMS I had before now wont boot past the boot animation or just wont flash. PLEASE HELP

TWRP tethered?? Is there a untethered out yet?

So I'm going to guess TWRP recovery is tethered ? because everytime I restart my phone the recovery disappears. Is there a permanent recovery yet?
Yes there is but if you're bootloader is locked you cannot install twrp permanently only till next boot

You should be reading through the different threads and all the information you need is right there, look in Zenfone 2 android development for the recovery untethered thread read through the 80 pages in the thread and all the information you need is right there.

Root

Hi all,
I will receive my new 10 tomorrow. Is there a guide so I can root it right away? Not sure but I assume it will be a wwe version (401?)
I should unlock it via htcdev and what's next?
Thanks!

As usual .. after unlock, install TWRP and install SuperSU.zip
You need to read and understand this first : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/development/psa-htc-policy-unlocking-bootloader-t3365986
and here is the TWRP : http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-t3358139
Thanks for the answer. Both links give me an error in the xda app. Know where to find them but just FYI.
So I need to replace the recovery without doubt. Hmm, not sure if I want that reading the things about ota and stock recovery. I'm actually waiting for mike1986 to create a custom rom for the 10 but up until now no news about that.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Prety interested in this one too... Looked around and on some sites it said that you can do it using various apps... I would also like to keep it as stock as possible but rooted, at least at the beginning
Is there any one touch root solution
What versions of SuperSU are people trying and having success with?
Latest versions had issues on my M9 so had an older version working great!

Nope, and it as much as says so a few posts above yours.
I unlocked my device via htcdev, flashed trwp latest version and sideloaded the last beta version of supersu (2.71). These steps did the trick although some apps that require root (fstrim for example) claim I need to root the device. Rootchecker on the other hand claim my device is rooted. Main reason for me to unlock was adaway to get an almost ad free device.

Was your device encrypted? Thought all devices are and you loose all userdata when you install TWRP. or even when you Unlock via htcDev?

It will wipe when you unlock but unlike previous years, because it is encrypted it will forget its access when you s-off as well.
The update is now available in my region but since I unlocked and rooted, how do I apply this? I assume nothing will get lost? Is there anybody with the ota file so I can at least restore stock recovery?

How could I backup stock recovery? Backing up the rest is done with twrp but stock recovery wasn't possible of course. What I understood was the stock recovery could be pulled from RUU and since I'm on the wwe 401 version I was not afraid I couldn't find that. Only did not expect an ota that quick

Typical verizon removed the "Enable OEM unlock" option from the developer settings. Hopefully someone will figure out temproot quickly.

in my opinion I would not even bother with the OTA now that your unlocked and rooted. you will start seeing custom stuff soon enough. I'm still waiting for any info on mine even being shipped out.
What is the correct root procedure to keep signal?
I've tried:
1 unlock bootloader via htcdev.
2 flash TWRP.
3 flash SuperSU
4 run SunShine
5 re-enable data encryption via settings > storage
It then reboots and I see HTC logo (thought it was encrypting without giving any indication, so I left it overnight) and it was stuck in this state. In the morning I force rebooted and was still unencrypted and without signal, so I attempted step 5 with same result...

Not sure why you lose root after format data, is that normal?
