I tried to install the rom using the adb and using the sd card method, I was able to flash the 5.0 version again, but it just won't flash the 6.0 I have downloaded every 6.XX version out there and still no luck.
I even tried installed the JP version which is not the compatible one with my phone it started, but then it would stop and give me the error that my phone is the WW version and not the JP version, I really need help fixing this, if anyone has anyway of doing it please let me know, Thank you

I'm seriously stressed from thrawling through forums making posts and as of yet I've got no answers, hopefully someone here can help me or discuss my problems.
Yesterday I tried rooting the ZF2 Z00A , Originally a CN 2.20.40.63. It went into bootloop.
At this point ADB does not recognize the phone but fastboot does.
I tried installing a non rooted rom via SD Card but I got a signature verification error.
Now it looks like my only option is to flash a pre-rooted rom via Fastboot as that still recognizes the device. However I cannot find a CN 2.20.40.63 or newer pre rooted rom, I can only find CN 2.20.40.61 ....... am I right in believing that this would not work due to .61 being older than .63? Would it matter if I flashed a WW rom that was .63 or later? Even if it meant the phone was buggy but then allowed me to unroot and install a stock rom I wouldn't mind, I just would like my phone to work again (I only rooted because there was random webpages and apps opening and downloading the whole time).
Please somebody help. Also my brother who is in another country has a rooted CN 2.20.40.63 phone, is there anything he can do?
Hello, iv recently bought this device for my dad, and at the moment the rom version is 2.15.40.13
and iv followed basic guides how to do OTA update, suddently i have seen that i dont have any check for updates in my "about" settings, and im missing Software update app alltogether.
Can anyone upload or link me this app? or suggest any help in the matter?
thank you alot.
Are you experienced with using adb? There are a number of options available you can download each successive update and update that way by placing them on your sdcard, or you can flash the current one directly using bootloader or adb sideload, to flash through bootloader you will find the complete tutorial and links to the files in the thread for changing from CN to WW, the instructions and files for adb sideload are located on the ASUS support site.

Maybe something missing in system files.
Can you please give us some detail about your device?
By flashing a new complete Rom you won't lose any data unless you reset the device on this phone your data is not removed when you flash, but you will get a clean install of the OS

Same problem here!
Hello, I have the same problem pointed at in the topic. My zenfone2 comes from china but hosts a WW firmware.
When I turn it on, a chinese banner appears, then the Asus logo, then all goes well, aside from some bugs that I learned were solved in later firmwares.
I've tried updating manually, but the phone doesn't prompt the installation after saving the latest firmware .zip in the root of its internal storage.
Would it work using the method of renaming the .zip file into "MFOD_SDUPDATE.zip", placing it into SD card and then restarting in Recovery Mode? Should I do this with the latest firmware or am I supposed to go through all the updates up to the latest one?
Edit: I put the official .zip file in sd card and renamed it "MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip". I then turned on the phone in recovery mode and update started automatically. I actually forgot to make sure that my recovery is same SKU as firmware, but I must have been lucky, 'cause everything worked well!
I have tried almost all the methods but couldnot upgrade to marshmallow. I am currently on Lollipop and have unrooted, stock recovery everything.Problem comes when I make the final upgrade. File downloads properly, but when on stock recovery is shows some error 7. That your variant is this and is should have been something else.
Have tried flashing almost all the files available for dual sim desire 820 indian variant, but still I did not succeed.. Somebody please help me.
So I have been trying to install Cyanogenmod 14, but I am kind of new to this, so I will probably seem pretty stupid. I basically tried to install it but forgot to unlock my bootloader. It was messed up, but I got help to install 2.20.40.184, so it works again. Now, however, I still want to install cyanogenmod 14. Partly because I for some reason don't get the OTA updates (I live in Denmark, where the Zenfone 2 isn't sold, so that may be it), so I've been stuck on lollipop since I got the phone. I don't even get a software update section under settings. So after all this, I tried to unlock the bootloader with the official app that you can download from the Asus website, however, when I do that, I get an error message saying "This device model is not supported". So looking for manual ways to root, I only found one that works with marshmallow, and when I download a ROM for marshmallow, I don't get the notification about an available software update. I also cannot enter recovery mode.
Hope this made sense, and that I posted it in the right place. Thank you!

Look for raw file .196 LP from RealYoti on here
Flash it in boot loader, with AFTool
You may have a china firmware converted to WW.
Once you flash try unlock ..or update from sd card to M ...Check my signature for flashing in AFT , also clues in downgrade link for how to write M to be recognised after a reboot for updating
If not got Chinese original serial you should be fine
Then when upgraded to M , Modder tool should be ok for unlocking bl in M
Then you can install 14.1
Hi, thank you very much for your reply.
Should I flash the raw file .196 even though I am using .184 right now? And which of the links in your signature is for flashing with AFtool (and where do I get AFTool?)
I have no idea if I have a chinese firmware converted to WW. Sorry, I am new to this xD
Yes, I am planning to use the modder tool once I have managed to update to Marshmallow.
Thank you very much
Hello All!
I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I'm trying to install nougat on my phone and having some great difficulty.
So far my phone is flashed and I was running TWRP 3.0.2 however every time i try to flash a lineage 14.1 based rom it would never work. (tried straight lineage 14.1, nutOS, DOT) none of them worked (wiped the phone clean, then received error 7, removed the assert lines that let in install but just perpetually boot looped) . My many a google searches makes me believe that that particular version of TWRP does not work with nougat. but that's the only version I am able to get working. any newer version of TWRP gets stuck in a perpetual boot loop.
So with that said, if my suspicious are correct and i need a newer version is there anything I'm missing to install a newer version of TWRP? if 3.0.2 is a good enough version to install nougat based rom's what am I missing on that end?
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated! and Thanks in advance!
Ninja edit: I'm runnnig the Z00A (Z551ML) and i've been using using roms/images meant for Z00A
I'm actually not yet used to these kind of stuffs but I guess your problem has something to do with either your twrp version or the bootloader version, this link might help you. http://theflamingskull.com/downloads/z00a/MM_BL_STUFF/

Yup that was it. My google-fu is off as i found my answer from a reddit post (5 seconds after asking this question in reddit...) My issue was that i was still on lolipop, the last OTA update and had no idea asus put out a manual update. worst part is, after unlocking the bootloader installing twrp, THEN installing that oem update, that might have cause my phone to crash mid update so it ended up bricking the phone...
I was able to Frankenstein it back together with old parts that I thought were no good, right now I'm on that last manual update and I gotta fight through a few issues preventing the boot loader from being unlocked.
Anyway you were correct, using the last OTA update updates the bootloader so I was stuck cause of that.
