if you don't have adb and fastboot installed in your computer, download this file and extract it. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/53155491/adb_fastboot_and_other_tools.zip
download the original Google image from here: http://code.google.com/intl/pt-BR/android/nexus/images.html
if you downloaded yakju-icl53f image, extract with 7zip and you shoud see a .TAR file. Extract it again with 7zip and you should see bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img, radio-maguro-i9250xxkk6.img and image-yakju-icl53f.zip.
Copy this files to adb/fastboot folder and open command prompt (SHIFT + right click – “open command prompt here”)
Reboot your device in bootloader mode and be sure fastboot is recognizing your phone with this code: fastboot devices
if you see your serial number's device, you are OK; if not, you have to install Samsung drivers properly.
then flash the images:
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk6.img
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-yakju-icl53f.zip (this command will wipe your data!)
device will reboot itself, and you should be done!

[Flashing STOCK ROM from Custom Rom] [No Recovery Mode, Fastboot accessible]

I followed these steps and now my Asus zf2 (ze551ml) is back alive! For the issue mentioned below, I didn't find much anywhere so I thought I'd put here what helped me.
Issue: Only fastboot mode accessible, can't enter recovery. (Also my bootloader was locked, MM bootloader, No OS). After selecting recovery mode from bootloader, again it enters fastboot, i.e the process in video above couldn't install the recovery (This must be because my bootloader was locked). I tried unlocking the bootloader by the .bat files available on XDA but since I'd not enabled OEM unlocking, unlocking failed everytime. My OS got wiped out, so only fastboot mode was accessible.
Solution:
I believe you have installed Minimal ADB and fastboot on your PC.
Download the raw file from the XDA thread.
Now first of all, change extention of the .raw firmware file to .zip.
Then just extract all files from it into adb and fastboot folder.
Now in folder (where you placed files from raw firmware and adb and fastboot tool folder) at empty place anywhere in folder hold Shift on computer keyboard and right click with mouse. Now click open command window here.
Perform the following commands one after another:
1. fastboot devices ( see if it is recognized: else plug out usb and plugin again, if USB debugging was on then this will definitely work)
2. fastboot oem erase_osip_header
3. fastboot oem start_partitioning
4. fastboot flash /tmp/partition.tbl partition.tbl
5. fastboot oem partition /tmp/partition.tbl
6. fastboot erase system
7. fastboot erase cache
8. fastboot erase data
9. fastboot erase APD
10. fastboot erase ADF
11. fastboot oem wipe splashscreen
12. fastboot oem stop_partitioning
13. fastboot flash splashscreen splash_sign.bin
14. fastboot flash token MFG_BOM_Full.bin
15. fastboot flash ifwi ifwi-prod.bin
16. fastboot flash boot boot_sign.bin
17. fastboot flash recovery recovery_sign.bin
18. fastboot flash fastboot droidboot_sign.bin
19. fastboot flash APD APD.img
20. fastboot flash system system.img
21. fastboot reboot
Phone will successfully reboot into system. Don't worry, first boot gonna take a little longer time.

Get Stock boot image without flashing TWRP

Keep stock recovery and extract the boot image.
You'll need.
Unlocked bootloader as guided here
adb/fastboot and proper drivers on PC.
TWRP from here. Any recent build will do, just grab the latest one.
Steps:
Reboot to fastboot
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
In fastboot, verify it's working properly and get the current slot. The result is either a or b
Code:
fastboot devices
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
Now boot into TWRP temporarily. The touchscreen will NOT work(a known issue). Just leave the phone connected
Code:
fastboot boot Twrp_3.5.2-10_EduardoA3677-billie_OxygenOs11_Android11.img
adb should work now. Extract boot image(s).
Code:
adb devices
Code:
adb pull /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot_a boot_a.img
Code:
adb pull /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot_b boot_b.img
Now we have boot_a.img and boot_b.img in current folder. Both should be 96MB or 100,663,296 bytes.
Depends on the result from step 2,
if it's "current-slot: a" then use boot_a.img. if it's "b" use "boot_b.img".
Once done, reboot the phone.
Code:
adb reboot
Now with this boot image, follow the guide to root.
