Hi, I have an Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML (Z00ADB) with the ROM/stock version: CN-2.20.40.195 and I want it to be WW instead of CN, since with CN version I can't have Google Services (can't log in into Google so can't use any of their apps). So what I'm trying to do is to flash de WW version, specifically I've tried , both from the official page, but when I0m adb sideloading it I type in the prompt "adb devices" and it recognizes my device, but when I type "adb sideload UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.184-user.zip" (and with the 194 version) it says "cannot read UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.184-user.zip"
-I'm using Windows 10.
-Phone is not rooted.
-Of course, when I'm typing in the prompt, the phone is in recovery mode, adb from sideload mode.
-zip file is located in the same folder as adb files.
-adb folder contains: adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, AdbWinUsbApi.dll, fastboot.exe and the metioned zip files.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have exactly the same problem as you now. In (stock) recovery and it won't read the zip file. Did you find a solution?

Yes, you only have to change the name of the file to CN. I mean, if your software is CN and want to change to WW, just change WW in the name to CN, and the phone itself will recognize it and offer you to update via OTA.
Oh I don't have exactly the same problem. I don't have a Zenfone but a ZTE Axon 7. Also Chinese btw.
And adb keeps saying: cannot read zip file. Whatever I try to do. Using stock recovery in ADB mode. Adb devices recognizes it etc...
So you're saying the naming of the file might be the problem?

on the box my hpone came it it says H815, Made In Korea, I talked to LG they say it's registered in Hong Kong but it shows it's a LG-H815, No T or anything after the 8. So I have a H815. Not sure what the Hong Kong thing means...but I need to unlock the boot loader.
Following this: http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryTypeCode=ANRS
On the 'adb reboot bootloader' command it says in CMD, 'error: device 'null' not found'.
I've tried it many times. I can clearly see it as G4 in My Computer, I can go into it and see the folders on the internal memory.

I downloaded installer_r24.3.4-windows.exe from here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html#Other
I installed the SDK Manger and installed the Google USB Drive and the Platform Tools, got the 3 files, did the cmd as you see in my image...
I never had to installed the G4 drivers or anything, it just installed it when I plugged it in and always worked.
So...?
Wish someone could help via Team Viewer..
Sounds like you need to install the drivers.... it is not so it just works for you to see the files... it is so that the computer will see the phone as an ADB and fastboot device
Install the drivers like it says to do, and test it by hooking the phone up to the computer and in a DOS box type "adb devices" without quotes, it should give you a device id.

tried that, got this:

So tried the other thing (adb reboot bootloader):
C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\tools>adb reboot bootloader
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

Just to make sure I got the right drivers, can you link me to the latest drivers for the H815?
I tried: http://www.lg.com/uk/support-mobile/lg-H815 - makes me install that support program first, but once it starts up it tells me to select my carrier, which mine isn't there and lists models, which mine isn't there.. So that didn't help. The daemon thing is new though...
EDIT: It works now and I get this... doesn't list it... someone link me good drivers or?

EDIT 2: Now it's back to the original null message only. I need some good drivers...

Start your DOS box from the directory you installed ADB to. If you do not know where that is, just search for adb.exe on your computer.
When you find where it is installed, just go to that folder and shift+right click and select "open command window here"
Run your commands there and it should work.

Just shows 2 empty lines, I need some real drivers or something. I don't know where to get them.
Read the thread about unlocking your boot loader. Everything you have asked is in it. Your phone needs to be in the right mode, adb, fastboot, download.
Don't know what thread your talking about and I've installed the best drivers I could find. It's not seeing the phone.
I opened CMD and did"
adb kill-server
adb start-server
Plugged it in and did the adb devices and got this:
C:\Users\Owner>adb devices
List of devices attached
LGH81567593392 device
Guess I'll try the next step in unlocked when I wake up. Any reason it has all those numbers after H815?
On the 'adb reboot bootloader' command it says in CMD, 'error: device 'null' not found'.
Normally, when it says "null" not found, you haven't accepted the connection on your phone, you wont see it if the screen has blanked.
Try again and accept connection from computer on your phone.
Oh, and if you;'re having problems getting the adb.exe etc to work, try downloading minimal drivers here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 )and install to desktop with shortcut as well. When you click the shortcut, it will create a dosbox and most commands will work from there.
Sounds like it is working. The numbers are your device id. Just proceed with your unlocking or rooting now and it should be fine.
What should be my next step in rooting after unlocked BL?
In the end I want to update my firmware and install stock Android, that is if it's just the OS, no installed apps or anything, apart form Camera, Play Store, etc.

IF you have the H815 EU version, and were able to unlock the bootloader from the LG site....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/unlock-bootloader-install-twrp-root-t3128241
Finish up on that page what you have not already done......
Install TWRP (recovery) and Root.
After that, its up to you, there are a few RoMs out that are stock and or debloated, pick the one you like.
Remember to check that it is for the H815 not a carrier version.
Hi I tried flashing a custom rom on my ZE550ML last week and now have a soft brick(i think). I have looked through many threads and cannot seem to get the answers I need.
During the flashing of the rom I forced restart after about 15 minutes without indication of installation. I didn't make a nandroid backup like i normally do and wiped system cache. I have nothing on the internal storage now and am trying to push the latest firmware from the asus site to the phone but cant get it right.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong with adb. I have the drivers and the firmware. When I reboot to recovery to apply update from adb, I get error saying "closed".
I change the firmware zip filename after watching other vids and reading different posts. Can someone help me understand if either I can't restore my phone or what I am doing wrong.?Thanks in advance!
my command line reads C:\adb>adb push ULZ008WW.ziip /sdcard/ .

I had tried both. Perhaps I was in the wrong location when i tried them. Do I have to go to apply adb update when issuing the adb push command or should i be somewhere else when issuing the adb push command?
Thanks in advance.

Ok. I get that part. I do have a couple of other questions:
1. can the firmware be flashed from an external sd card? If so, can it be any firmware version or should it be the most recent I had installed or earliest version?
2. can the windroid universal android toolkit be used during the flashing of the firmware.
I used the toolkit to install drivers that didn't seem to be different from what i already had installed and when I checked that I had the adb drivers it said i had them.
Hope somebody can help since I'm getting crazy...
SF = Asus ZenFone 2 551ML - No Root - FW = 139
PC = Windows 7 64bits Home Premium
Objective: get phone rooted
Following the procedure described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/asus-zenfone-2-flashing-recovery-mode-t3096596, I installed the drivers first (OK) and tried to install, as admin, ADB (15 seconds installer), but I always get " 0 file(s) copied" (system wide as well as local user).
Infact when I open the prompt and execute the "adb devices" command, I get "adb is not recognized as internal or external command".
I tried with version 1.0.3, 1.4.2 and 1.4.3... but it's always the same result. Now I'm stuck.
Thanks for any clue and help you can provide.
Hi,
1. Download USB drivers here instead -> https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-usb-driver-for-android-devices
2. Install this ADB app instead -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Let me know then.

Hi there,
I'm having trouble flashing the latest community build to my OP3 from my mac. I followed the instructions below from the lifehacker website to install ADB;
"Download this zip file containing the scripts.
Extract the zip and place the Android folder on your Desktop.
Open a new Terminal window.
Enter cd Desktop/Android
Enter ./ADB-Install-Mac.sh"
Following this, when entering the ./adb sideload command I get the message "-bash: ./adb: No such file or directory"
Everything I have downloaded has been saved onto my desktop, the command I am using is "./adb sideload Oneplus.crdownload".
Does anyone know how I can get round this? I flashed an update to my nexus 7 years ago from my old windows laptop and didn't come across this problem.
I've tried searching the from for a solution but couldn't find what I'm doing wrong.
Thank you in advance!
"./adb sideload Oneplus.crdownload" looks like an incomplete download file in Chrome. Are you sure the file download was successfully?
Hi there,
Thanks for the quick response, I cant be sure, however just downloaded it again and tried the command "./adb sideload OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_007_all_1610310039_bc5bc09fd 9af4ceb".
I still get the same response.
Hi,
I'm trying to install LineageOS on Xiaomi Redmi Note 7. Everything worked fine until I tried to flash a recovery file. After typing this command: fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img it says it can't find a file with that name. I tried putting a path before the name, but then it says access denied. Any help?
Thanks

I was thinking about navigating to the folder where I saved it, but didn't try it as I was in a car. Anyway, it worked. Thanks.
