Hello!
I'm a newb when it comes to rooting phones and such, and I have made a huge mistake. I rooted my phone to remove the ridiculous amount of bloatware that ASUS put on the phone. I saw that I could get an OTA update, so I installed it, and it bricked my phone. I did not know that you are NOT supposed to do that while rooted. So yeah, perhaps I should've looked more into rooting so I wouldn't do something stupid. Now, my phone gets stuck on the ASUS and Android bootup screen, so I have to flash a stock rom.
So, I tried using "Guide to apply OTA without bootloop in Rooted ZF2", but it does not work for me. Whenever I tried to type in the commands, it said "permission denied." When I type in "adb devices," my phone does not show up. However, when I type "fastboot devices," it does appear. Does it have something to do with my drivers? In the device manager, I have two things under ASUS Android Device, ASUS Android Bootloader Interface and ASUS Android ADB Interface (which I tried to install with the "Add Legacy Hardware" button under Action in the device manager).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-to-apply-ota-bootloop-rooted-zf2-t3127835
I really don't know how to fix it now, so help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks
This is a complete thread on flashing from boot loader

Just follow the instructions and .59 is now loaded there do you update to latest, just to reiterate I believe you will have to reset data to bring back reading the SIM card.

When I do this it still says "FAILED (remote: Permission denied)." What am I doing wrong? Also, the 4th step of the guide is confusing me. Which one is flashtools.zip and where can I get the adb drivers?
Go step by step through the guide downloading each thing necessary, step 4 download classrooms zip as pointed out and extract them to the folder your downloaded files are located in, at the same place where you downloaded classrooms you also have the and drivers, follow instructions and install them, if you follow the guide it is easy to do but read it through 1st, if you don't understand it then search on the web there are literally thousands of guides that you can find to help you understand, though everything is there on the thread I posted for you.

Turn off the phone, then follow instructions to boot to bootloader, make sure its recognized by typing (fastboot devices) and then enter, it should show a device then say fastboot behind it, if do your ready to flash, you must also extract the system zip do it builds the correct system file, just right click and extract here

Okay that folder does not seem to have all the proper pieces to me, or mine anyhow, this is how I handled the process, from Mega, download .63 folder as a zip, then extract the zip to folder of same name as zip, that is an option in RAR tool or Winzip, then extract the flashtools zip into the same folder where the full rom is located, on this one extract..... then select the folder where your rom was unzipped to, then go into folder and click on the zip that says system_w_root and extract here, after completed then start fastboot on phone, connect to computer and launch command window from within the folder, then follow flash commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
this should work, if not then I am not sure what's going on without having the device physically in hand

What do you think I can do now?
Which phone do you have, model # and original software version?
ZE551ML, ASUS_Z00AD. How do you find out the original software version? Recovery shows that it has WW firmware, if that helps.
http://androidforums.com/threads/list-of-fastboot-command.714676/ this is a list of fastboot commands, based on some research I did it may be one of two things, corrupted download or files on the device have corrupted something, so this is what I would do, from fastboot
fastboot erase cache
then I would
fastboot erase recovery
then try to flash recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
let me know if that works
If not it may be your fastboot that is corrupted try flashing droidboot
fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img
then restart in fastboot using the volume rocker to select bootloader
and try again

copy and paste this in your browser, will download the full .59 file since I can't find .63 full link but no matter, after you download it, rename it MOFD_SDUPDATE and place in root of your external sd card, then boot into recovery and it will update automatically and install .59 you should then be able to do OTA to .63.
---------- Post added at 06:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 PM ----------
if it doesn't update automatically you should find the d/l link in general section under new update .63, follow the same procedure with the 23mb update file just rename to MOFD_SDUPDATE and place it in external sd, obviously delete or transfer the previous MOFD file, only one can be on sdcard

How do I access the sd card? The phone doesn't come up under "Devices and Drives" when I plug it into my computer.
take out the sdcard and use your reader in the computer to transfer the file to the sd card, don't put it inside any folder just to root of card
First things first, this has been asked very often but no other thread helped me out.
So I'll be as precise as I can
I'm using an HTC One M8 Unlocked/International version (presumably, it's not carrier branded)
I unlocked my bootloader using the offical method from HTC Dev on Ubuntu (ADB/Fastboot sucks on Windows) After which I had TWRP and Cyanogenmod 13 Nightly running for a while. Now I would like to get it completely stock (besides the relocked flag) knowing that the ROM/Firmware has been signed by HTC.
What I did:
I could not find the stock images on HTC's website like Google provides them, shame HTC.. So at first I downloaded **some random** nandroid backup from this site. I also flashed the stock recovery that I recovered from a RUU.zip. After this I was able to receive an OTA update just fine. And I'm now currently running Android 6.0 Software number 6.12.401.4 (AFAIK that's the HBOOT version).
However, this is still a random backup from someone who might have potentially modified the system. In fact, it has been modified since the bootloader says *** Software status: modified ***
So, I would like to flash a RUU. HTC's website provides these in the form of an .exe which, are not signed and downloaded over HTTP. But that's OK since the phone verifies the signature of the zip. (I have S-ON and would like to keep it that way for this reason)
But the problem is, the RUU doesn't work. at first, it simply wouldn't run at all. because apparently you need to install a whole bunch of Visual c++ libraries as mentioned here.
After I installed all of these I managed to bring up the RUU wizard. (I did install HTC Sync Manager). I got the following error: "ERROR: 103 MODEL ID ERROR" "Please get the correct update utility and try again. To be clear, this is RUU_M8_UL_M60_SENSE70_MR_BrightstarUS_WWE_6.12.1540.4.exe from this website. It is my exact phone model. These are some screenshots from the utility.
Besides the RUU.exe I also tried some RUU.zips from random forums (that's ok, S-ON verifies the zip anyway) but they all fail the signature test. Like so,
sudo su
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip RUU.zip
...
FAILED (remote 12: signature verify fail)
So if anyone could help me get the official software back that would be greatly appreciated

As long as the version number is higher or equal to what is currently installed it should work without S-OFF. Besides, I really don't like the idea of getting S-OFF. especially since it isn't necessary.

AFAIK you can't use a generic fastboot to flash RUU.zip
It needs htc_fastboot .... as you said - (ADB/Fastboot sucks on Windows) - I don't know how to help you as I know nothing about Ubuntu
Just to give you ideas (for Windows) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6
You can only install 6.12.401.4 or higher (but not available as there is none) x.xx.401.x
Using 6.12.1540.4 or any non-x.xx.401.x is totally wrong and won't work for you.

I'm actually using Windows but I run Ubuntu in virtualbox since installing adb is as simple as 'sudo apt install android-tools-adb', USB drivers work out of the box.

Hmm, okay I get it. I don't think it would make sense to get S-OFF and flash the xx.1540.4 since this version obviously wasn't meant for my device.
There's also this HTC_Europe_6.12.401.4_signed.zip I mentioned. I tried flashing that using fastboot which seems to work just fine regardless of the non htc_fastboot. But it doesn't pass the signature check. Again I could S-OFF but I'd rather not since a properly non-modified zip should pass the check anyway. Do you think it would work with htc_fastboot? I've tried htc_fastboot on windows but it'll complain about missing DLLs.
I also contacted my local htc live support chat, they told me the only way to get back to stock is to send it to repair service. Obviously, all they'll do is hook it up to a pc run the proper RUU and charge me $100 for it. So I asked if they could just sent me the RUU instead but that "isn't possible"
It failed signature check because of generic fastboot.
You must use htc_fastboot.
Just expand the link that I gave earlier, that's post #6, read post #4 for the drivers you need.
I can't link to you because I'm on mobile.
Or you can go to my thread linked in my signature, read the last two pages where I put a guide how to use ARUWizard to install RUU
The required drivers are linked on item 2.

Thanks, I read your post and downloaded htc_fastboot.exe and the RUU. htc_fastboot didn't work at first because it's missing AdbWinApi.dll but I solved that by installing minimal adb in C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal Adb and Fastboot\ and putting the htc_fastboot.exe inside that folder aswell as the RUU.zip (renamed).

Hi, i installed the latest LG G5 Update (lineage-14.1-20170822-nightly-h850-signed), the first regular reboot was fine.
The second reboot has "bricked" my phone.
Please check the attached Picture from the phone.
Anyon a idea how to get back the phone to "life"??? :crying:
Thank you in advance for any assistance

This advise comes "as is" and with no warranty and I will not be responsible for any damages of any kind.
That's a soft brick (I wouldn't even call it a brick) and should be easy to resolve.
Did you erase data and system before flashing the ZIP file? You should always do this before flashing a new OS or did you just flash over your original LG5's OS without erasing those partitions?
Try re-downloading lineage-14.1-20170822-nightly-h850-signed and run a crc32 check on both zip files (the one you downloaded originally and the one you downloaded the second time) to see if the crc32 values match. If they don't, that would explain why you ended up in this situation (assuming you flashed the file the correct way). If you are on Windows, you can download a utility called "hashmyfiles" by NirSoft to get the crc32 along with other checksum values. If you are on linux, you can use the "crc32 lineage-14.1-20170822-nightly-h850-signed.zip" command to see the crc32 value and if values do not match, try downloading it again and do the check one more time until the values match. You can also click on the "sha256" and "sha1" links below the link you downloaded the file from and then using "hashmyfiles" you can compare the values whether they match.
Anyway, the way I personally would go with this one is try to enter Recovery mode, erase system, data (and probably boot but not necessary as the OS zip file will over write it anyway) and try again. If your recovery asks you to install root / SuperUser, you should select "No" and use LOS's official SuperUser add-ons if that's what you are after.
Thank you marco-v
I can't check the crc from the file because i have updated the latest Version with the build in update function...
I have tryed to boot in the recovery menu by pressing the power und volume down button, realising when i see the lg logo an pressing again both to (normaly) enter the recovery mode. it appears the same message
http://androidflagship.com/20275-boot-lg-g5-recovery-mode
the only menu that Comes are the "factory data reset" menu, but this makes no difference...
any further ideas?

That's a soft brick (I wouldn't even call it a brick) and should be easy to resolve.
Did you erase data and system before flashing the ZIP file? You should always do this before flashing a new OS or did you just flash over your original LG5's OS without erasing those partitions?
Try re-downloading lineage-14.1-20170822-nightly-h850-signed and run a crc32 check on both zip files (the one you downloaded originally and the one you downloaded the second time) to see if the crc32 values match. If they don't, that would explain why you ended up in this situation (assuming you flashed the file the correct way). If you are on Windows, you can download a utility called "hashmyfiles" by NirSoft to get the crc32 along with other checksum values. If you are on linux, you can use the "crc32 lineage-14.1-20170822-nightly-h850-signed.zip" command to see the crc32 value and if values do not match, try downloading it again and do the check one more time until the values match. You can also click on the "sha256" and "sha1" links below the link you downloaded the file from and then using "hashmyfiles" you can compare the values whether they match.
Anyway, the way I personally would go with this one is try to enter Recovery mode, erase system, data (and probably boot but not necessary as the OS zip file will over write it anyway) and try again. If your recovery asks you to install root / SuperUser, you should select "No" and use LOS's official SuperUser add-ons if that's what you are after.

So it looks like your Recovery mode is messed up too? Not sure how that might have happened unless you instructed LOS to "Update Recovery" .
Have you tried to see if you are able to enter fastboot mode and reflash your custom recovery image again and try to enter Recovery mode again? The one I use on my device (Oppo Find 7) is a TWRP image and I find it very reliable.
You can see if you can boot to Recovery by running the following command from fastboot mode (assuming you have a TWRP image)
fastboot boot twrp-x.x.x-x-h850.img
Replace x.x.x.x with the version of the file.
Tryed, result is:
Code:
C:\Temp\root_H850>fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1-0-h850.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.430s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.451s
With "adb.exe devices" are the phone not listed
Ok, my device is locked!?!?

Try following these instructions: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/recovery-team-win-recovery-project-lg-g5-t3363047 and see if you can get TWRP running and if you do, you can try flashing LOS again but format data + system (you will lose all data) and if you are not careful, you might lose data on internal storage + external storage so read carefully what's displayed on the screen before going ahead.
Also: http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryTypeCode=ANRS and this will show you how to unlock your bootloader.
---------- Post added at 01:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------
I just read your post, you can try:
fastboot oem unlock
and see if it works. May be it will because it was unlocked already once but can't tell for sure.
Sorry, nothing has worked.
I will try set "upgrade error" back in the lg update tool to flash the original firmware, but i need a SERIAL or the IMEI number, how can i find this out?
Normally, IMEI numbers are located right under the battery on phones that come with removable back covers and batteries. Yours however slides out, it might be somewhere there or perhaps you can check the box / packaging. So the following command didn't work?
fastboot oem unlock
What's the error you got? The official bootloader instructions on LG's website should have worked as it supports your model. To me the only issue you seem to be having is a restricted booloader and once you unlock it, everything should be fine. This is why you can't boot into TWRP using the boot command.
Not worked, the result is:
Code:
C:\Temp\root_H850>fastboot oem unlock
...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.025s
I see, thx, if the LG official unlock instructions did not or no longer work followed by the instructions here https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/recovery-team-win-recovery-project-lg-g5-t3363047, I am out of ideas. Perhaps someone else can help and provide further hints.
Someone needs to start this. I can't believe no one has yet looked at this. Tell me someone has achieved some of this please.

I am also checking 5z forums daily
Asus have launched kernel sources and it is project treble supported and custom rom development is easy so looking forward for some development to start:crying::crying::crying:
i was planning to buy this phone as i wanted to flash resurrection remix but guess have to wait
The phone released recently, and very late in the year. Most devs are on treble phones, or ones like the OnePlus 6. The phone is probably treble compliant, so in theory owners can use any treble ROM.

Yes I have unlocked bootloader. I used official asus apk
Then downloaded twrp-3.2.1-0-X00Q-20180508.img
Next fastboot flash boot recovery.img and fastboot flash recovery recovery.img - I saw Bootloader Version is empty
Now I dont know how I have older bootloader version WW_user_80.11.37.53 but I do not have twrp.
Edit: Please use my updated guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5z/how-to/guide-zenfone-5z-how-to-root-downgrade-t3815877
Here is what i did to root the 5Z ZS620KL:
1. Download the unlock app AND the installed firmware from asus:
download
2. Install adb and fastboot
download
3. Copy the app to the phone, start it and follow the on screen instructions > bootloader unlocked
Warning: When booting the phone you will now see a warning message!
4. Unzip the downloaded firmware and use a tool to extract the boot.img from the payload.bin. I used payload_dumper.
download
5. Copy the extracted boot.img from payload_output folder to the 5z.
6. Download magisk manager app from the officiall thread on xda, install it and use it to patch the boot.img on your phone (install>install>patch boot.img)
download
7. Copy the patched_boot.img back to your computer (the original boot.img will be approx 65mb the patched one approx 19mb)
8. Start your phone in fasboot mode (hold "power + volume up" to switch on your phone). You will see "FastBoot Mode" in red letters on screen. Connect your phone to the computer using the usb cable.
9. Open a command line and check if your phone is recognized by executing:
Code:
fastboot devices
You should see the serial number of your phone.
10. Change to the path where you copied your patched_boot.img and use fastboot to flash the patched_boot.img to your device:
Code:
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
11. Start your phone from the fastboot menu using volume up/down and power to select.
Bugs/problems:
- You will see three warning messages while booting, at least i do. One for the unlocked bootloader and the next one comes twice saying "There is an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details." which you have to confirm.
- I used the latest stable Magisk V16.0 + Manager V5.8 and Magisk hide is not working. It does not save the apps marked for hide. Maybe some write error?
I have purchased zenfone 5Z but it's model number on box is ZS621KL. I see the guide posted for rooting and TWRP install is for ZS620KL. is this same guide applicable to my model as well or this is a different version something like zenfone 5 and Not zenfone 5 Z

Go to system>about phone> sofware version and check your version. Mine starts with WW_80.11.37.69. You need to download the right firmware version from asus (WW or JP). It should work for ZS621KL.

Why would you erase the system? Were you trying to flash another ROM or something?

You'll most likely need to re-flash a stock image.

Fastboot flash your bootloader, radio then vendor on both slots then try again.

Fastboot flash bootloader_a (bootloader)
Reboot bootloader
Same command but with _b

now just wanna try to install TWRP
Download twrp.IMG
Fastboot boot (twrp.img)
Go to settings and disable screen timeout and the swipe to install twrp app. Don't need it.
You can flash a stock ota on twrp.
Put whatever you need on a type c thumb drive (stock ota, twrp installer zip, roms) and mount it in twrp.
Just keep in mind if you are going backwards, you'll have to format data.
