I have a problem with flashing the latest version of TWRP. Only 2.8.7.0 works. The others show a success message on the PC but when i select to boot into recovery, it just goes back to bootloader. Am using rooted stock Marshmallow. What could be the issue?

Steps to TWRP

Im on Z008 2.19.40.12_20150612 I cant seem to flash twrp no matter how hard I try. Im rooted and unlocked BL. Is fastboot easiest way or sideload or from twrp manager? Does someone have the download link of which IMG I would need?
Check the General resources thread, you might have to upgrade your stock firmware version.
Download twrp manager from app store. Use that.

I've tried that but what img file do I need for my firmware?
I see the new one is 2.20.40.63 what would be the right twrp img file to flash?

You must be on 2.19.40.18 - 2.19.40.22 to unlock your bootloader. Only after unlocking your bootloader can you flash TWRP onto your phone permanently...
Go to general section and check out the 1st stickied post, it will give you the info you need to do this...

TWRP officially support Zenfone 2 (551ML) so get from there....
I'm 550 ml now what? Can anyone just send me a link to the right img?
What are the steps to flash this TWRP recovery 2.8.7.0 OTG-USB NTFS.zip. This is for 550 ml
I'd use untethered Twrp then flash, but that's me.
Twrp manager automatically picks the right recovery.

I should be able to flash a rom through CWM that way right? I'm already unlocked bootloader and rooted and su is on my sd card. Can I flash a rom gaps and su again through CWM and I'm good? But I'll be stuck with that rom till I do perm recovery right? CM 12 not for 550 yet?

Stock Rom flashing without pc?

Can i flash the stock rom with twrp or only with pc? I dont find a stock rom for flashing with twrp.

Of course you can flash a stock rom with twrp No pc. Most if not all developers usually offer a stock version maybe just debloated some .
But that doesn't make the device Truly stock.
You would have to fastboot adb flash the stock firmware after relocking the bootloader making it out the box stock.
You can still flash a zip or .img from flashify app which means you can unroot without a pc by flashing stock recovery.img
Then choose full unroot inside SuperSU then factory reset device within the settings menu all with no Pc.
If your doing this already on stock rom and stock kernel the unroot will stick
If you do this on a custom rom or kernel it may auto reroot\install SuperSU.

OR better yet download it all stock and flash in twrp.
This is stock rom meaning Rom only roms dont flash stock recovery only the O.S This rom is from Android dev section you'd seen it if you looked in the rom section
It's pure stock 6.0.1 you must have already been on 6.0.1 firmware update not 6.0 otherwise you need the newer boot.IMG to get it to boot up.
Providing You were on 6.0.1 Now have a stock rom "BUT" still will have custom recovery after this flash because its non rooted Rom.
So now the catch 22 is that you can't flashify the stock recovery.img from flashify app without a pc at this point because there is no SuperSU root until you fastboot adb stock 6.0.1 recovery.img with a PC.

Ok so I accidentally flashed the wrong TWRP img file. Now I get booting error. Can I just use flashify or rashr to flash stock kdz file. No access to a computer at all. Please exain how to flash back to stock no PC. Also eligible for an OTA updat. Can I just allow it to update to current updated software? Will that put my factory recovery img back ? Pls email me if you know as I don't get n here every day [email protected]

Well there's no MM based SPFT file, so all you have to do is either flash stock kk/LP using SPFT or if you've twrp installed, boot into TWRP again and wipe everything except SD, flash the MOB31E full stock Rom zip. Link : MOB31E OTA's and flashable zips thread

Hello, please help
The device is canvas a1 and it is fully updated till the last update via OTAs only. I performed factory reset on it. It is now stuck on setup wizard. Not able to skip from there.
I wanted to flash it again.
So, can you please tell if it is OK to flash KK or LP flash files?
(I am asking this because, its BL might have got upgraded in OTA updates and it could be dangerous to downgrade to lower versions by flashing.)

Remove your battery and insert it again, put the device into bootloader mode and unlock it, then you can fastboot the twrp and good to go.

Nothing to worry. Once you get twrp, just clean flash stock lollipop Rom. Don't use SPFT, you gonna brick your phone if something goes wrong wrong. I'll link you LP (flashable via twrp) Rom, tell me when you done.

Wipe everything except SD card
Flash this rom
Reboot

Hi there
I have the same problem and my phone is stuck at the boot screen.
My phone does not allow me to enable USB debugging and I am really stuck with being able to install TWRP and flash the stock ROM.
I'm incredibly confused and am unsure what I am doing. Attached is a screenshot of the CMD box.
Help and simple instructions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Please Help

Flashing raw file with AFT relocks the bootloader. You need to unlock it again.
