I have recently bought a 2nd hand ZenFone 2 deluxe and have found that it is rooted so there are some apps that won't run. I've tried a hard reset, but that didn't work so wondered if anyone could help me through another methods to get back to an inspired phone. Help please!

Thankks for your reply krasCGQ. How do I do that? As you can tell from my user name, I'm a little green.

1. Is the bootloader unlocked? If yes, flash TWRP and wipe everything. Flash back stock recovery and flash stock firmware via ADB Sideload.
2. If no, just reflash stock firmware via stock recovery using ADB Sideload.
There's many guides about these around XDA. You're better to use search function to search on how to do bla bla.

Thank you. I'll have a look. To be honest I'm not sure how to "flash" but hopefully some of the "how to" guides will help. Thanks again.

Easiest way is:
Open SuperSu
Goto Settings->Full Unroot
Reboot after unrooting. Then do hard reset after rebooting

is anyone know how to remove it? thanks
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446593&page=6 here you will find the stock recovery file. You flash it the same way you flashed the custom recovery.

Of course it can be used, but with care!!!
I agree....
there should always be a warning
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix)
It is jokingly said that dd stands for "disk destroyer", "data destroyer", "death and destruction", or "delete data", since when used for low-level operations on hard disks, a small mistake, such as reversing the if and of (input and output) parameters, could result in the loss of some or all data on a disk.

I read the forum before as i have made a bookmark of it in my browser. Actually, i'm confused because there's Odin Multi Downloader and the older one, right?
Sorry ,
but why would one want to remove
CWM ? Is there some issue with the software or is it a warrenty thing?
Apart from personal gusto, of course.

Because updating via OTA(OverTheAir) is (yet) only possible with the stock recovery.

sorry guys for this question, but the reason why i want to remove cwm because, if someday i had to sent my phone to the service center i must remove cwm, if they found out, maybe they will decline my phone..
Flash back stock FW...everything will be restored....
What's the point Binary count to show phone is rooted is there as I know Samsung don't bother if you have rooted in Malaysia.....

Nexusshacks.com (google it, that may not be the exact URL) you should be able to find it there. Sorry I can't walk you through right now, I'm very busy. When I get home I will look for a good video or something if you still need help. Nexusshacks has awesome tutorials.

Lgnpst is a tool to flash stock firmware after you flash a custom roms. It will restore the locked bootloader and stock recovery as well. Similar to samsung's odin. This is useful if you need to take it back for repair since they don't always repair if you have custom firmware.

Its available at the irc ( webchat.freenode.net in the #lg-optimus-g channel). Type !info lgnpst to get the lgnpst application and click the link by stock firmware in the top of the page.

Gentlemen,
This tab is slow....keyboard is very laggy. So I figured I'd root it and load a ROM to it.... I flashed the file listed in the thread,
however, power, home and up won't go.... upon ocsassion, it wil bring me into factory mode..... wierd. My s3 and 4 rooted just fine,
so I'm no stranger to that......
Suggestion? Is there something I'm missing?
Other suggested in antother thread to reload factory firmware from sammobile...... I don't believe it would solve anything......
Thanks guys
You should try to flash the original firmware and see if it would fix it. Before doing it backup your data in case it doesn't fix

When flashing recovery, do not check auto reboot on odin and when it says pass after a successful flash, do the three combos then flash universal root.zip thing then qualla, your device has been rooted

I used this link - Worked just like the video showed except I found that after flashing the TWRP recovery tool, I had to hold volume up & home for an extended period before the tool would boot. Watch the screen. After the Samsung logo dissapears, there is a slight glow on the screen. When that glow disappears, release the keys and you should see a lock screen. Swipe and you're in. Good luck.
Heres the link:

If you want a custom recovery and rom and you just unlocked your bootloader go here:

I can't seem to reboot into recovery correctly. Every attempt just lands me back in the stock firmware. Rebooting from there to recovery via adb just gives me the Motorola warning.

No dice. Rebooting to recovery even with that just leaves me staring at the boot image.
EDIT: I remember reading that those who took the KitKat OTA got a different boot image that makes going back to Jellybean difficult, if not impossible. Could that have anything to do with this?

Bah, pay me no mind. I was trying to flash a CWM recovery because that's what I'm familiar with. I tried the one you just named and it works fine.
Sorry about that!
Just an FYI I couldn't get rashr to even look for the file so I tried flashify and it installed recovery with ease.
Thanks for the links attack. I don't like to try these flashing apks without a recommendation.

Guys KEEP IN MIND:
These are not officials, these are fairly beta builds. You will get errors, I was hoping this would reach some crack-flashers.
That's basically who this is for.

How can we get onto official CM then?
I know it has something to do with the kernel. We can't downgrade the kernel to the one CM is using? Or we have to wait until CM move up to kernel 3.4?

The latest Nightly is from February, which is 4.4.2.
Honestly keep checking that website, and check XDA.
Since the bootloader has been unlocked there should be a lot of movement / action in the dev section.
I would honestly not flash anything older, I mean feel free to mess around w/ kernel that are newer than 4.4.2 on CM.
I can't promise anything if you're on stock. I hope that helped at least a bit.
Didn't think this deserved its own thread, but could someone on 4.4.2 upload their systemui.apk real quick?
