Hello, as the title says, I have accidentally bricked my ASUS Zenfone 2.
The device does NOT have the bootloader unlocked, it is NOT rooted and it does NOT have any custom recovery installed on it.
I have installed the latest firmware from ASUS 2 days ago (Marshmallow update), and today I have tried to unlock the bootloader in order to install CM13 on it, I have tried doing that using the official unlocking tool on the ASUS website, but it didn't work on the 6.0.1 version of the firmware.
After that, I downloaded the official firmware in order to downgrade the phone from 6.0.1 to 5.0.0, so I could unlock the bootloader, now it is stuck in the fastboot screen, and it cannot boot properly.
I am a begginer in Android flashing and what not so I really don't know how to unbrick it, any help would be appreciated as I need the phone back working urgently. Thank you! Waiting for replies.

since you've already downloaded an official rom then try flashing it through adb
Hi guys, I need your help reverting back to everything original for the zenfone2 551ML (64gb / 4gb ram).
This included;
Getting back the original asus bootloader and relock it
Flash asus original firmware (i have a custom rom now)
Unroot the phone and completely remove xposed as well.
The phone works and boots and does everything fine (except the damned dead lcd that sometimes works)
IIRC U cannot relock bootloader if you unlocked using official method
What about just restoring the original bootloader then and then reinstall original Asus firmware?

I think that if you use Asus Flash Tool (v14) and flash a new firmware erasing the user data you'll get a pretty stock new phone: stock bootloader locked, original Asus firmware (ROM and recovery), unrooted and unxposed.

I'm sending the phone back to Amazon so I really hope this works
Well I bought my zenfone 2 it's been 1 year ago, and on the end of 2016 I rooted it because I don't had hope on 6.0.1 update anymore since it was full of bugs. I still on 5.0 and now I want to update to 6.0.1 but I don't know how. My bootloader is unlocked and I have TWRP I was planning on flash the stock recovery and then push the update but there is the problem. Can I update with unlocked bootloader? Or I'll need to lock it again then update? I really can't bare with the 5.0 firmware anymore and I need to update. But since I don't have a constant access to a computer I don't want to brick my phone.
Yes, I tried search for tutorials online but all I get is how to unlock bootloader on zenfone 2 on the 6.0 firmware and how to root it..but I don't get none answer to my question so I hope someone here can help me.

Hello,
I have been trying for a few days now to unlock the bootloader for ZE500CL model to no avail.
I've tried the Unlock Tool provided by Asus but it's no longer supported, whatever that means...
I couldn't find any other posts online that would solve my problem, could anyone help?
it's one of these 10 years outdated x86 Intel SoC I doubt you can unlock it without official support.
However, there is some suspicious download you can try.. happy bricking
Unofficial relock/unlock bootloader for ZE500CL

Hello there, I've bought this model.
There was a custom ROM flashed on it when I get it.
I've flashed it back by the Stock Firmware.
Then I saw that the device is locked by Xiaomi.
What can I do?
The best option would be to unlock it with the Stock Firmware on it, so I would have any other Option,.
If this isn't possible I would like to know how I can flash a custom ROM on it.
The bootloader is also locked, so please help me.
Bye, JonnyBoy84

Ask seller for unlock bootloader again (Official way) and remove his account from phone. (But I don't think he had, maybe he got the phone by unofficial way also)
Or you can use free unofficial tool to unlock it (Unofficial way, easy to find on YouTube).
Then choose one custom rom from forum.
Follow guide and enjoy the rom
