Hi,
I'm trying to flash TWRP on my Zenfone 2 Z00A but it won't work. I cannot boot to TWRP.
My device is unlocked and rooted and I can flash boot.img, droidboot.img and stock recovery.img but TWRP IMG won't work.
After flashing TWRP using command "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" and trying to boot into it nothing happens phone restart and boot to bootloader asking me to choose "Normal boot", "Recovery mode" "Reboot bootloader" ect.. and when I select "Recovery mode" phone restart and boot again to Bootloader not TWRP.
I also tried to flash TWRP using "Rashr" same problem not booting to TWRP.
Tethered CWM is working and I was able to boot to it but not TWRP
On the other hand if I flash back stock recovery and boot to it boots just fine.
What's wrong? Any idea guys?
Thanks in advance..
So, you've unlocked the bootloader or did you skip that part?

Yes it's unlocked.
When I flash TWRP via CMD using fastboot command it shows successful writing TWRP IMG file. Otherwise it will show permission denied if the bootloader is locked AFAIK.
The splashscreen is white which means the bootloader is unlocked. But I don't know why it's not working.
Device is CN version flashed with WW firmware.
TWRP App-based installation
I've also tried upgrading to twrp-2-8-7-2-Z00A.img from within the TWRP Manager app. It seems to download and gets to the "installing/verifying" screen, then dies after a minute or two. The phone is rooted and unlocked. But after about the 4th or 5th try, it worked.
Ok problem solved
It turns out there was a problem with the bootloader. I used the adb commands to unlock it and it was showing successful but some how it was not unlocked fully as it seems.
The splash screen turned to white after unlocking the bootloader so I thought it was unlocked. I even tried unlocking it many times and every time the adb results were showing bootloader unlocking success but it tuned out it wasn't unlocked fully.
Today I used the official bootloader unlocking App from ASUS and unlocked the bootloader. I flash TWRP again and rebooted to recovery and BAM ! it booted to TWRP

Hello, I have similar problem with my Zenfone 2 Z00A. Bootloader seems to be unlocked because of white splash screen on start-up, but I cannot flash TWRP recovery via fastboot flash recovery ***.img. The process shows no problems/errors but despite that no TWRP after reboot.
Can you explain how you found out that bootloader was not unlocked fully?

I tried bootloader unlock process with the app on my phone first, but after 4-5 times of use, it always came up with 'Network error'. I went with the 2nd part of unlocking bootloader to transfer TWRP imgae file. Now the phone is starting with a white splash screen and showing 4 options: Normal boot, Power off, Recovery mode and Restart bootloader. I have tried fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and fastboot boot 'twrp.img', but still can't get to TWRP recovery process.
Hi guys,
I just Root my phone and tried to flash recovery.img from twrp. After I did and it restart but keep boot into bootloader, I tried to boot into recovery mode and it's failed. What I try, boot into recovery mode via tethered temp recovery and flash a new rom which I downloaded here. Now the problem... My phone bricked and unable to boot into user surface.... HELP!!!! please!!!:crying::crying::crying:
You must unlock the bootloader to have twrp.
And some rom require unlocked bootloader
you want TWRP ? please unlock bootloader first
Use fastboot to reflash a stock rom and recovery.
Then unlock your bootloader and flash twrp.
Afterwards, you can flash a custom rom.
I installed many roms in my zuk z2 plus. All of the sudden i lost TWRP recovery in the boot loader, I tried install it back but every time I failed. Is there any way to get the TWRP back ??? NOW my phone is stopped in the bootloader
Try flashing Stock ROM by QPST Tool and unlock bootloader again and flash TWRP!
Hope it works
