Able to boot into ww194 but not recovery and bootloader - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Masters, developers, gurus, gentlemen and women
I tried my best searching the threads but no solution.
I am able to boot into phone, surf net etc., BUT i cannot boot into bootloader and recovery.
Phone is detected as adb in Windows. I tried to adb reboot, manual volume up plus power and so on but cannot boot into bootloader or recovery. Any help and suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I lost my root now.
Thanks in advance.
Ps: i was on ww194 rooted with twrp and bootloader all working. Backside itchy that i flashed latest official MM in twrp. The phone went looping for a few times and went back to twrp. So i twrp restore my phone. This is how i am strucked.
Edit: resolved. Use unbricked guide.

Hi,
if you are rooted, you could download the firmware zip of 194, extract and flash droidboot.img, so that your BL should be working again.

I lost my root.
Also cannot go into recovery and bootloader.
I wish i can do what u suggested.

Code:
Flash temporary recovery.
Via xFSTK. helped me many times when I hard bricked my phone.
Use Asus flash tool to upload the raw file via fastboot.
Once upload you could enter recovery. And you'll see an "error" by holding volume up and power and quickly release the volume up. You'll be brought to The recovery menu (do this when you see an error occurred)
Now you'll see the option flash via adb.
Flash the full stock rom again via adb sideload.
You'll be on track back
Don't worry you won't lose your apps and files.
Bootloader gets locked and unroot.
You know what to do next mate.
Follow the link provided below.
P.s after flashing the raw file... You could only enter fastboot and you'll have endless loading on boot screen if you didn't enter fastboot. Your OS won't load until you flash stock rom via adb sideload.

Form CM 10.1 and TWRP back to stock

Just a simple question:
Is there any way to get back from CM 10.1
and TWRP 2.7.0.1 back to stock recovery and 907 ?
Greez Gadlion
The easiest way is to install a version whom you can instal from your computer to your phone it reinstals also the original bootloader. After that do a online update and install the latest official ROM. The easiest way.
Install mate toolbox on your PC, then run it and install original recovery. Once you do this you just need to create a folder on your SD card called dload and you can put the update file of your choice in it and just boot into recovery. The update will automatically run

Thanks for the fast response, but both won't work with mine and on my dad neither.
I know the methods but i can't explain why it won't work so if you can switch back to stock with the mate tool box i will work in that way with a fresh Windows ^^
Thanks anyways
Gadlion
If you are up to working with linux, you can extract the files from the toolbox and then use adb/fastboot to put stuff back.

You have 2 problems here:
1) You need a stock (never rooted) ROM to install OTA. Unrooting won't work.
2) You need stock recovery to install OTA. Won't install by TWRP.
Find your correct stock TWRP backup, restore it, then flash the corresponding stock recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
Really need some help here..i tried following the tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860
I got to step 9 but when i reboot all i get is the white screen with htc nothing else happens..not sure what ive done...
Managed to get back to bootloader screen with volume power buttons but pc not recognising..i think i have wiped the os

Not enough info. Once you get the PC to recognize phone by fastboot, do fastboot getvar all, then post the results (delete IMEI and serial number).
Also need to know what TWRP backup number you tried to restore.
Thanks for the reply....managed to install adb and fastboot then send zip file over..all back up and running now

[GUIDE] Unbrick your BLN-L24 and other variants after rollback to EMUI 4.1

The process here will work on all variants of 6X but you must use the Huawei Update Extractor Tool to get the necessary images from your devices initial firmware update.app. I have provided the images only for the BLN-L24 variant for which initial firmware is B110. Due to variants having different firmware the BXXX for the rollback might not be the same but the process is
When you attempt to rollback from Nougat/5.0 (B360) to MM/4.1 stock B110 firmware with successful updates using the dload method there is a good chance your phone will be bricked and fail to boot . The first update/downgrade from B360 firmware to B300 will boot the phone but when you do the second update from B300 to B110 firmware the phone will stay on the honor screen. This happened to me and after flashing firmware numerous times and using ADB to flash boot.img the phone was still not working but I was able to recover and get it working again thanks to the Huawei_Multi-Tool_by_Team_MT_v7.1.
Download Images and put them in the Unbrick folder of the Huawei Multi Tool.
System.img
Boot.img
Cust.img
Recovery.img
1. Put phone in fastboot by holding Vol - and connecting usb to computer
2. Unlock bootloader using command fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx where x is your 16 digit unlock code
3. After automatic data reset put phone in fastboot again
4. Start Multi Tool and hit enter to get to main menu
5. Press U for unbrick and hit enter
6. Press 2 and hit enter to start the process
Downgrading from Nougat to MM will relock your bootloader so you must unlock it in order for the multitool to flash the files to unbrick your device. Once unbricked if you relock the bootloader your device will be factory fresh with initial firmware.

Make sure you have turned on adb mode in your phone and you have authorized the computer for accessing adb and fast boot.
Or may be you didn't go to fastboot mode of your phone.
You need to press and hold volume up+power button until your phone reboots. Then only you can access fastboot.
I have unlocked the bootloader,then I activated debug mode. i press and hold volume up+power button and i entered in fastboot mode.
. i installed adb driver and program. I opened cmd and I wrote :
cd..
cd adb
adb devices
fastboot flash recovery (name recovery).img
when the writing appears "waiting for devices" does not continue with installation

For that you now need to use zenfone flash tool coz you didnt make a back up of your recovery.
For that you needed to first use this cmd.
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
This would run twrp temporarily and you could make a backup of your stock recovery. Then to permanently install stock recovery you needed to do the same you did.
Now, except using zenfone flash tool you can only ask a friend if he can give u the stock recovery if he has unlocked bootloader and didnt install twrp..

If you want to flash the stock rom I suggest you do it with adb sideload because I noticed that if you flash with stock recovery with "upgrade from sd card" ,when the phone is rebooted it is very slow.
This is the link with stock recovery:

fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
Boot in to recovery mode and wipe data/factory reset then reboot system!
Done.
Sorry for my poor English
Mod edit: Deleted!
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat - if this is real, awesome job.
Damnnn good..but i'm afraid to try it
Could u explan more
After this ww rom will be installed? What about upgrade?
I mean can i do future update once in convert to ww rom ?
A Video would be nice (not doubting that this simple guide doesn't work) but to proof that indeed this method works) someone please be kind to post a video.
also, does flashing this WW ROM deletes all personal data? or does it flash like an update retaining data?
wow!!
is it works??
and is it without root??
Will OTA updates work on this? Also, could you rewrite the guide some parts are a bit confusing
It works. No OTA from now on though, without a patched boot.img the phone will always go into a bootloop. Some people have reported dead camera after WWE conversion.
"Some people have reported dead camera after WWE conversion. "
Is there more infomation about this? forum link or screenshot?
Thanks.

Can someone state the major differences between the two roms?. I don't see the point of losing OTA and warranty unless you need the stock UI, other than that i don't see any advantages. By the way can someone confirm the call recording option is still there with the WW Rom.

Yes Please, I Would also like to know the major differences..
Just to evaluate whether losing OTA is worth going to WW Rom.
Hello Guys, I messed up as I did not unlock bootloader first before flashing it from fastboot. Now I have a bootloop. Can anyone help me how to reflash CN. I have a lock bootloader. Thank you very much.
Unlocking BL also voids the Widevine L1 DRM btw, proceed at your own risk.
Can anyone help me how to unlock the bootloader via fastboot since I cannot get in the software as I have a bootloop. I greatly appreciate it as I have been figuring out this for the past 5 hours. Thank you.

You cannot unlock without the app. Hold the power and volume up key when the phone boots up until you enter the bootloader menu then using the volume keys navigate to recovery option from there just do a factory reset.
Hello Rashad83, I went to recovery and did a factory reset,but it still bootloop. I have a tencent ROG phone II model.

What did you do to get the bootloop in the first place, if you don't mind me asking?
I tried fastboot flash vendor vendor.img then it says parse error due to lock state, then after that I rebooted it then it just bootloop.
