Anyone able to tell me how to get the OTA updates to work again?
Phone was originally rooted but deleted the root and also added teamwin recovery
Not sure what to do but notifications of the update are annoying me
Thanks in advance!

There's your problem.
You need stock recovery for OTAs not custom recoveries.
How do I remove it?

If you don't have a backup of your stock recovery on PC then you can download stock recovery from this thread
Extract the recovery to the folder where adb/fastboot is in, by default this will be in the platform-tools folder for the SDK kit.
Connect your device to the pc.
Hold shift and right click in window(tools folder) open command prompt - or open command prompt and change directory to location of fastboot/recovery.img (You should have done this before when you flash the custom recovery so you should know where the folder etc is).
Type: adb devices - check if device gets picked up, should show you your serial number for the device.
Type: adb reboot bootloader
Type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Type: fastboot reboot
Done.
Stock recovery will then be on device again, it'll reboot and once done you should be able to install OTA update. :good:
Great many thanks
Alrighty, no problem! =oD
Just hooked phone up to computer and flashed new recovery, now showing as 1.54.401.10 - cheers for helping with update
Hello Yu Yureka fans!!!
This for the Yu Yureka fans who want to root the phone but don't want to miss OTA update by flashing custom recovery
In this thread i will tell you how to ROOT your Yu Yureka without flashing custom recovery.
This method will not flash custom recovery over stock recovery, this will just boot the custom recovery once just to flash the superuser.zip. so you will be back to stock recovery after flashing superuser.zip.
So lets get started...
Your Bootloader should be UNLOCKED
Files you need:
1. adb and fastboot drivers
2. A CWM recovery link (don't worry we wont flash it, it is just needed to install superuser.zip)
3. Superuser.zip link (save this in your sd card or internal memory)
Note: Keep recovery.img file in the same folder where adb and Fastboot drivers are placed and always open command window from that folder.
Connect your phone to pc via data cable
Steps:
1. Open command window (cntl+shift+right click)
2. Type
Code:
adb devices
if your device is connected you will get it in connected devices
3. Type
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
4. Type
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1ebf boot recovery-yu.img
now your device will boot into recovery mode
5. Select install zip from sd and navigate where you have downloaded the superuser.zip and select install.
6. Done!!! Your device is rooted and you are still in stock recovery :good: you wont miss the OTA
To check if you are in stock recovery just reboot into recovery :good:
Hit thanks if this helped :good:

Thanks, will check. Although I downloaded the drivers just today, so not sure, how it is not up to date. Anyway, will check it once I am home in 3 hours.
tried resintalling the drivers. didn't help. command prompt still keeps on waiting for device forever, while phone is in fastboot mode.
Edit:
If I cancel the third command, and check the list again, phone is not listed. Somehow, after rebooting into bootloader, phone stops the adb connection.
i am on twrp recovery can i flash this recovery on that and update the new ota?
please help
Hi--
I could use some help. I have the rooted stock and installed a new boot animation. Now the phone will not boot. It stays in the boot animation. It does not bootloop. It booted fine prior to the bootanimation.zip replacement. I cannot ADB into the phone to delete the zip but I do have fastboot. Tried to install TWRP to flash a new bootanimation.zip to fix, but TRWP install fails (permission denied). I completed the Asus bootloader unlock to get root.
What can I do?
Thanks--
do you unlock bootloader ?
try to fastboot
use adb command "fastboot flash recovery name.img" to install twrp
Thanks for the reply. I do have a fastboot connection, but it errors when trying to flash recovery:
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Permission Denied)
finished. total time: 0.906s
I know the BL is unlocked as that's how I rooted it an hour before this happened.
Thanks--

USB debugging should be active but I cannot verify since it will not boot. Yes, I used the Asus app to unlock the BL. How would doing a Factory Reset help if the error is in system, not data?

Thanks. Couple of questions. Where do I adb sideload from? When the phone is in stock recovery or BL/fastboot screen? I've tried to ADB from BL/fastboot screen and I don't have a connection.
Also--which stock ROM do I use? The WW version as I only see a JP, CN, TW and CUCC versions...no US specific version. WW is the right ROM for US?
Thanks again--

put your phone in recovery then select adb option (if you dont know how. google how to get in recovery zenphone 2)
put the stock rom in folder adb
then you can use this command
you can check your version on fastboot screen
i think US = WW
srr my english

if you wanna do sideload first you need Asus Zf 2 firmware --> http://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone_2_ZE551ML/HelpDesk_Download/ download the same firmware installed in your phone (settings-->about phone--> see the build number--> that's your firmware) or you can see it when you on recovery mode (ww=worldwide, so US is ww).
download fastboot_adb (1.0.32) --> https://www.mediafire.com/folder/w70w7r1a65840/Zenfone_2 and the unzip the file, copy/put Asus Zf 2 firmware that you have download into fastboot_adb (1.0.32) folder ( you can rename Asus Zf 2 firmware with "file" name or you can leave it that way)
go to recovery mode--> select apply update --> select apply update from adb
open fastboot_adb(1.0.32) folder --> hold shift + right click --> select open command windows here --> type adb devices
--> type adb sideload file.zip ( or you can just drag Asus Zf 2 firmware ) --> wait till it finish flashing --> when it done reboot
Thanks for all the help here. I was finally able to side load the ASUS ROM and I'm back in business. All due to a bad Boot Animation ZIP!!??!!
I had trouble because adb would not do the push/install anything due to a bug in HTC Sync, which I still had installed from an old phone. Apparently, they have a custom DLL/library that breaks adb. Once I got rid of Sync, I was able to push the ROM a over and was back in business. Thanks again for the help.

Type fastboot devices and it should show your device serial number. As long as that appears you will be able to sideload the latest version

are you on recovery mode? using stock recovery or custom recovery? custom recovery will never work when flashing through adb sideload, i'm flashing latest firmware through sideload just now
Actually i was in system recovery earlier. İ did something. I tried load twrp (teamwin) and i did. It opened but and then i reboot the bootloader and chose recovery but it didn't start recovery it just restarted the bootloader. So i have just fastboot mod now and my computer sees my phone when i type fastboot devices. Can you say one by one what should i do

you should on recovery mode to do sideload, also in my experience i never succeed apply update from adb using teamwin, that's why i always go back to stock recovery if i want to update through adb sideload, but to get stock recovery you have to go back to stock Rom, you need stock Rom and fastboot_adb(1.0.32) ( i already give links to get those files in the comment before) download the stock rom (choose 1 for ex: Z00A_WW_2.20.40.139) unzip that file ectract to Z00A_WW_2.20.40.139, you should have the following files: system.img, boot.img, droidboot.img and recovery.img. connect your phone to pc/laptop, open cmd on Z00A_WW_2.20.40.139 folder by press and hold Shift keyboard key+right click (select open command windows here), In the cmd window enter the following command: “adb reboot bootloader”, Next, in the same cmd window, type the following commands (press enter after each line): “fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img”; “fastboot flash recovery recovery.img”; “fastboot flash boot boot.img”; “fastboot flash system system.img”. (i will provide you a picture when i'm doing that), when done, still on cmd execute the following commands: “fastboot format userdata” and “fastboot format cache”. up to here it's done you can reboot your phone, if you want to update the simple way just copy firmware file you want to update to internal storage and remove usb cable it will auto detect an update, but if you want to do update using adb sideload after format cache do not reboot phone just go to recovery mode(by pressing vol button twice), select apply update from adb, on pc open fastboot_adb(1.0.32)_071114_r21 folder, put firmware you want to update in this folder (ie : UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.168-user), open cmd on fastboot_adb(1.0.32)_071114_r21 folder by press and hold Shift keyboard key+right click (select open command windows here), In the cmd window enter the following command: "adb devices" it should show you devices no and sideload, in the same cmd window, type the following command: "adb sideload file.zip" wait till it done, when it done reboot your phone.
Hello, I have unlocked my device and when I install twrp and reboot the official recover replaced with twrp. I have tried many times but after every reboot the stock recover is there. I need to flash twrp every time to use it.any reply ASAP will appreciate. Thanks in advance.

Oh I thought you could boot to it but it doesn't stick
If you can't get into twrp at all it's user error
Follow my guide on the twrp thread
Make sure you rename the image recovery.img
Put your phone into fastboot mode - hold Vol down & power button
Then in a cmd prompt where you have recovery.img & fastboot type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then use the volume keys to select recovery and press power button to select
Post your cmd output but it should say write OK at the end
Ignore the error is not signed or corrupt that comes before that
Obviously I presume you have already unlocked your bootloader - just follow all the instructions on the twrp thread
Also you don't reboot the phone between flashing twrp and entering twrp for the first time

Hey, I was able to boot it and run the latest twrp and install the supersu but the root process failed as it gives me ram extraction failed and end then I thought reboot and install magisk, so I install it and download the zip file then when I try to go in recovery mode, twrp is not available as stock recover is there. I don't know why recover change automatically. Do you know the reason behind it why it changed?? Or do I need to do something to keep it. At the time of nougat I was able to use it without any problem as recover doesn' change,but in Oreo it happening.

Supersu is very old and outdated (the reason for that error is supersu can't install in systemless mode because the kernel ramdisk paths are not compatible) but since supersu is ancient now it's pointless trying to get it to work
Use magisk
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Flash in twrp
You may have to install the magisk manager app separately if its not in your app draw
Just download the apk and install it via any file manager
Hi everyone, after getting bootloader ublocked and minimal adb and fastboot tools installed on my pc I’ve started to follow step by a step what this web says to get my phone rooted.
magisk.me/root-mi-a2-a2-lite-magisk-install-twrp-recovery/
But while trying to install TWRP recovery I can’t finish step 8 because when I introduce the command “ adb sideload twrp-installer-daisy-3.2.3-0.zip” it puts me that device is not found so I cannot finish to install TWRP recovery.
Any suggestions?

Try this instead
adb push twrp-installer.zip /sdcard
But what I need to do before that? Should I move the twrp installer zip file to SD card? More things to do? I’m confused

Get to fastboot. eg.
adb reboot bootloader
Boot TWRP
fastboot boot twrp.img
Copy the installer
adb push installer.zip /sdcard
Install using TWRP
Note that installing twrp removes Magisk so if you want root, reinstall Magisk.
