You can't. The best way to go back to stock is to use the Asus flash tool and a raw image. It will get you completely back to stock tho. your bootloader will be locked and you'll have stock recovery again. You can then just unlock and reinstall twrp.

Yes, just get the Asus Unlock Tool for the ZenFone 2, unlock your bootloader then flash TWRP.

Hello everyone. I tried following most of the tutorials here listed on this website to root my Asus Zenfone 2. But I couldn't make it work.
I have an Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML and the model number is the ASUS_Z00AD with Android version 6.0.1.
Apparently made in Taiwan.
Is there any way of rooting this device with that android version these days?. When I tried with the adb tools I always got an error of unable to write.
Should I try unlocking the bootloader?.
Please help.
Thanks!.
Unlocked your BL (official or unofficial) , then flash the latest twrp for your device via fastboot then reboot to twrp recovery. In twrp flash/install your choice of root.

Thank you bro...
I rooted my Zenfone 2 and unlocked the bootloader (not in that order) and went to flash a custom ROM onto it but when I wiped my OS I realized that I missed a step and forgot to load a new ROM on the sd card. Now I have no OS and when I tried to flash stock ROM to it via ADB sideload it just boots to fast boot mode and when I try to go to recovery, it just reboots to fast boot mode. I hope there it's something that can be done.

Get the raw image and the asus flash tool. And flash that. That will get you back to stock. You'll have to start over again with unlocking etc.

Are there instructions on how to do this? Also, is there a way to tell which SKU I need?

My phone was hard brick for 2 month then i successfully unbrick it today. After unbricking i flash the lastest mm raw on AFT but when i reboot to recovery is has a dead android which i dont have before. I'm trying to flash twrp on fastboot(wgich was successful on pc) but when i reboot to recovery mode it only reboot me back to fasboot. Then twrp is not installed back to stock recovery. Phone was officially unlock long ago before ze551ml got stock mm official

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

Thanks a lot. I didnt know bootloader will be lock on flashing raw on this phone.
I'm selling my old Z00A and need to reflash the original firmware it came with. Currently it's running CM (Marshmallow) and TWRP. I need the link to the ZenUI and original recovery for the Z00A. Also can I relock the bootloader?
Edit: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE551ML/UL-Z00A-WW-4.21.40.352-user.zip
Is this the correct link?
Also how do I change the recovery to stock?

Use method 2 (because method 1 links are dead).
Drivers are here: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE500CL/ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows_20150212.zip and Asus Flash Tool is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9rp3AJHKJXjNmRuRUJMWmtOT3c/view
Bootloader unfortunately can't be locked once unlocked.

Using the AFT and a raw file does indeed relock the bootloader
