Hi guys, i am trying to install LineageOS 14.1 on my Zenfone 2 ZE551ML Z00AD. I know phone is Z00A after doing some research and I tried following the instructions on installing TWRP using ADB by Snoop05 but when i use the flash recovery twrp img. command, it basically doesn't work for me. Can anyone tell me step by step? I managed to unlock the bootloader using the Unlock Device Tool by Asus Zenfone 2 Support Page. TIA

Hi all

http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/development/rom-resurrection-remix-mm-5-6-0-t3275854
i've download the Z00A version.
I put it on the external sd (i've tryied also in the internal storage)
I start the twrp recovery ---> wipe
I select installa and i choose the rom downloaded
And always it appear the red type that says that it is impossible to flash the custom rom.
I'm atm with 2,20,40,168 stock
What i do wrong?
You are using Android 6.0 roms which don't flash in that version of twrp. Go to the official twrp website and download twrp 3.0.0 for the zenfone 2 and flash it from that recovery you have. Afterwards reboot recovery and try flashing that rom again.
Also next time use the help section of the forum to keep it clean.
I've a Z00AD too, and I'm unable to find LineageOS for that version, does it exists?
Do I need to use the version for Z00A ?

You would have been better off unlocking the bootloader, allowing your phone to upgrade to Asus' official MM, and then flashing the MM bootloader compatible TWRP linked in the OP for LOS14.1.
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...
Hey! I have a Zenfone 2 ZE551ML (Z00A) which always brick when I try installing a new rom. The first time I tried installing RR and so, I downgraded to Lollipop so that could use Asus official tool to unlock my bootloader, then I flashed a TWRP recovery (I'll post the file here) through fastboot and booted to recovery mode. I used the TWRP recovery to then install ASUS rom for Android 6.0 (because the RR thread says I must have Android 6 previously installed) then I restarted and.... got bricked. To unbrick, I used this tutorial from here (one that teached me how to use xFSTK and fastboot to bring my phone back to life) and then unlocked the bootloader and flashed the TWRP recovery, did the update to 6.0 then when I tried to flash RR TWRP says I can't install it (I got error 7) the I reboot and got bricked again. Can someone here please help me?

There's a lot going on here. You need to spend some time reading through the threads. Basically, you can't flash the official asus rom with twrp. It requires stock recovery. And you need to be sure to have the correct bootloader for the custom rom you are installing. Basically, Lollipop roms based on stock rom and Cm13 based roms need Lollipop bootloader. Marshmallow roms based on stock mm rom and LinOS 14.1 based roms need the Marshmallow bootloader. That's where your error 7 was coming from.
Again, read the first post of the Rom you want to install carefully. It should tell you what you need.

The RR rom tells me I need Android 6 but the Official way to unlock the bootloader doesn't work with Android 6. How am I supposed to unlock it? If it helps, here is the link to rom I'm trying to install: https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/development/rom-resurrection-remix-m-5-8-0-t3507247.

Like I said, you need to read through the threads. Go to the resources and the index threads in the general section. And look at the first posts there. Also find the modder tool thread. It's a very useful multipurpose tool for all kinds of things.

Hey everone, is there a way to download the z00a.zip for the zenfone 2 toolkit file anywhere else? the tool keeps giving me downloading error and I can't ever download it to recover my phone which is soft-bricked because I had a 7.0 android ROM and did a recovery of a 6.1 ROM I had to recover some files missing and now It won't boot into recovery nor Android OS...
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
