Flash Stock Rom Asus_Z00AD

Hey everyone! This is my first post to XDA forums EVER, and I need a lot of help since I'm a newbie to how Android flashing works, so go easy on me
So as the title suggests, I want to flash my Asus Zenfone 2 with the stock rom. My current build number is: LRX21V.WW-ASUS_Z00A-2.20.40.97_20150917_1572_user044030427_201501060109
The reason I want to flash the stock rom again is because I removed some of the bloatware from my phone (such as BBL actors for omlet) and other crap, but some of it won't let me reinstall, and because of me removing some of the bloatware crap, I can't use some features on my phone. I've tried flashing supposed stock roms before for my phone from a windows CMD prompt, but they failed to write (for whatever reason?).
I'm rooted with some 1-tap windows cmd prompt thing, have a locked bootloader (thats the thing to install custom roms, right?) and the stock recovery (tried using the TWP app to flash the TWP recovery, but it didn't seem to work, and would just leave the normal recovery?)
I've come here for the intelligent minds to help me out! Please help lol

Have you tried to use adb sideload command into recovery mode?

You have to flash the stock recovery, then, enter in recovery mode an flash the official ROM via cmd. You can follow this tutorial www.asuszenfoneblog.com/2015/04/how-to-flash-asus-zenfone-2-via-adb.html
Hope this can help you.

Won't that just update the O.S? I heard ADB sideload in the recovery just updates the O.S to a newer version? And why would this work, but not fastboot? Alsol, does ADB sideload work if USB debugging is off?

You welcome....

I have zenfone 2e Z00D with WW firmware.
The recovery launcher didn't work for me.
It completes the process but nothing happens, no recovery loads.
Do I need stock recovery?

Are you sure you unlocked your bootloader before you flashed TWRP?

No I thought it would be good to backup the current stock Rom before unlocking the boot loader. I was gonna do that after backup but this problem showed up. Boot loader is locked for now

Yeah, always unlock your bootloader first before flashing any kind of recovery.
Follow this thread to fix your problem.

Hi there, I have a similar problem i think. I have unlocked bootloader.
My problem is PC won't regonize my device. I installed the driver for intel asus adb but it would says "error: device not found" for fastboot cmd.
so now i m stuck in fastboot and can't do anything ...

Zenphone 2 4 giga ram bricked

Hi, my phone stuck on asus logo.
I can get to cmw tempairy recovery, ithink
When. Install the firmware from asus site, its says cant verify
Failed to verify whole file signature.what shuld i do pleaae?

Okay, not enough information, since you are using cwm temporary I am guessing you have not unlocked your boot loader which will cause the fail, can you get into the bootloader?
If you can follow the instructions and download the current rooted Rom and follow instructions to flash the stock rom

You can't flash asus firmware with cwm.
You can unbrick with adb sideload.
See THIS GUIDE how to sideload

I am done here, if you choose to follow advice to try using temp cwm to fix your phone I am sure you fail, your best solution is to use bootloader to flash, everything you need is in this thread, if you choose not to do the proper research before you start flashing things without doing the proper research before then you are beyond help here.

it says in device manager " asus android bootloader interference"
and in the phone its says normal boot and there is icon of open android/
and it written in blue "continue the fast boot process

try "fastboot devices"
if it answers than try flashing twrp or stock recovery
command to flash recovery "fastboot flash recovery filename.img"
after that u can try to flash custom rom using twrp or stock rom via twrp or stock firmware using adb sideload

I manage to make it work and install cm 13 the latest nightly.but when I make a call or receive one the phone reboots itself. What is the problem? Thanks

try factory resetting it

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