Since you've never rooted or used a custom ROM before I suggest starting with either mROM or MMuzzy's ROMs. They are close to stock but will get you to Android version 4.2.1
mROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763823
MMuzzy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762846
Remember to MAKE A NANDROID. After you use the toolkit to unlock, root, etc. boot into recovery and MAKE A BACKUP. Also, when you root/unlock it factory resets your phone, so anything not on the SD card that you want to keep, backup to your computer.
This is the thread which completely helped when I was new to rooting and all this stuff. No further help was needed. The methods are very well explained here.

Thanks guys for your active response ..
I followed every step until I plug my mobile in the fast mode , my computer asks me for drivers .!!!
I have tried to ignore it and I continued the step to flush the ROM , but finally it gives me a message as " Waiting for your Device " >>
Guys ..any idea ??

From where I can get these drivers ???
I'm glad you're using fastboot.
Search for naked drivers.
Or use the guide in my Sig or stickied at the top of this forum.
Sorry, at work on mobile. No time to link.
Thanks guys ,
I have tried to use the toolkit software to get the drivers !! and I managed but still wont't work .
Q : Is it possible to install a ROM if the phone is locked ??

No. Need custom recovery and an unlocked phone to install the recovery.

To the OP, use the search function (or Google) - it's all out there!!
To everyone else, don't spoon feed them - let them learn it for themselves. It's better, and more rewarding, then being told everything

agreed..
Dont rush the root
efrant and jubakuba have both written guides. I suggest not using the tool kit until you know how to use adb/fastboot.

I'm almost there , I have unlocked my phone ,get the drivers , moved the ROM into my memory , but when I go the the recovery mode to select the ROM and do the following as was request by obe memeber ..
wipe data / factory reset
wipe cache partitoin
install zip from sdcard
choose zip from sdcard
The recovery mode wont complete , it shows one robot with red exclamation mark . Then after few minutes , it got restarted .

That's what we're doing. You need to read the guides. Not skim. Read.
Hi am Vinod from india , i own a samsung galaxy nexus i9250 ( GSM Unlocked and Rooted) . Am a regular flasher of new Roms in my device and try to experiment new things .
Things you should not do and What i have done :
1, Format Factory using CWM .:crying: ( Quite now remember that one contributor mentioned in the development section that format factory using CWM leads to mess up the Baseband and IMEI [did before read that post ] ) .
Things you should do and How to Restore your IMEI and BASEBAND :
1. Ultimate Solution is BACKUP your rom before doing anything silly or flashing hard (I did and it made my device to get back to normal )
IF NOT atleast Backup your EFS :
1. Using this Tool Bacup your EFS and save it in safe place(Cloud :victory: )
EFS Why ? EFS is the one most important in any device ., if people flashing hard(back to back) or formating factory will lead to corrupt your factory folder .so its the better and best ever thing to backup and save it . You can restore factory folder using the same application :laugh: .
The above method are temporary fix can someone guide me or share the link for permanent fix ?
PS : Dont scold me if this been answered many a times but unfortunately am not able to find any one :crying: (my bad) .
"Sharing is caring" ...
" Expert at anything was once a beginner" .

With all the time and worries you have had you could update your Firmware and flash Viper 3.2 from scratch, and that's what i would do.

Not the best link when he is just asking about firmware.
Are you S-Off or S-On?
If S-On, go to this thread to find firmware for your MID and CID. They MUST match, or the firmware won't flash properly.
If you are S-Off, the method in this thread is the absolute easiest way to update your firmware. This is the method I use.
I need expert to solve my problem.
I google it this problem and get confused to solving this problem.
I was flashed CM 12.1 and now I m on CM 13 latest build and I dont want anymore this rom bcz my phone is in warranty period and i want replacement for screening problem ita not rom prblm its hardware prblm or anything else
i want get back my phone warranty
I want to install stock firmware from CM 13
and i dont know which SKU version i have
And i want install WW
SO NEED SIMPLE TUTORIAL IN SIMPLE LANGUAGE STEP BY STEP
how to install stock rom on my asus zenfone 2 from cm 13
..
Running CM13 or Stock doesn't have anything to do with warrenty dude. Your zen2 has an IMEI when you first bought it. So when you unlock bootloader and root your phone, your zen2 will send a signal to ASUS to deactive your warrenty, unless you UL and root with special tools that dont effect your warrenty
So i dont know, maybe use your IMEI to check your warrenty on ASUS website ?

It's super easy. You said that you've been running CM12.1 and CM13. That mean that you've already know how to flash a ROM via recovery right ?
So just google : "yourzenphone2modelname" + stock ROM". You should find many of them on the internet. And just download it and flash it like you flash CM before
Remember to Wipe dalvik/cache/data. And wipe once more when your phone finished flashing
Goodluck dude :good:

The model and the firmware region should be written on a sticker on the phone box.
After identifying them just flash the stock recovery and load the stock ROM through ADB and wipe data/cache and you are done.
I did that many times to go back to stock.
