updated link, sorry for the mistake

I use the STOCK ROM 0.78 ww
I'm with the unlock bootloader problem even in rom stock.
I lock bootloader again, and then use that?
It only works if you use custom rom? Or also in stock?

After I used it with Lollipop droidboot ww t00j stock .78 I had problems with camera. It works only with kitkat?

@ XHook
have you worked on method to re-lock bootloader..

bricked my bootloader
After flashing this I couldn't access my fastboot. Now I can't even boot to system. I'm stuck at the USB logo, where usually I could reboot to fastboot (via pressing Power & Vol +) to fix this. But now I can't even access fastboot. When I press Power & Volume Up, it shows a battery icon. Please do help @XHook.
Editted:
Sorry for panicking back there. I forgot the reboot to recovery way using Power & Volume down. At least I can still boot to my system. I'll try to find a DIY solution for this. Sorry for panicking, @XHook.

Your tool uses Fastboot of 4.3 version right? Is that the difference?

no more update? camera not found, can this method by xhook solve the problem?
i've tried this version, but make my bootloader missing/bricked, same with ezrawk post
Note : When I installed this version >> 3.24.40.87 latest stock lollipop firmware
@XHook, tell me what your firmware version when you install this UBL method.
Thanks

I was using a custom recovery (TWRP) at that time so I flashed a fastboot via install. If you aren't using a custom recovery, you'd probably want to check this out: Zenfone 5 A500CG, Zenfone 6 A600CG Last chance to debrick (This fix youre IMEI) by swiczak
About the flashable fastboot, try searching for it in the Help & Troubleshooting part, I think the user who upload the flashable fastboot zip was tank0412. Try PM-ing him. Sorry can't help you about this 'cause I forgot where I saved mine.
Goodluck!

Flash stock firmware.
When you have rooted your phone after installation have you removed the battery or turned off the phone?

[SOLVED] Cannot boot into Cyanogenmod, only TWRP. No ROM's working

Edit: Problem has been solved based on instructions provided here.
Long story short I had problems with the newest Cyanogenmod 14 nightly today and had to Factory Reset my phone. Since then I have spent hours installing different ROM's and have been unable to get any to work. They all install just fine, no errors. However I cannot boot into the OS at all. Every time I try to I am automatically booted into TWRP. I don't understand why this is happening after I have repeatedly wiped my entire phone. There is literally nothing on it, I install from scratch, restart... and am booted right back into recovery mode :crying:
Any help is greatly appreciated. I have a reddit thread going on right now as well regarding my problems earlier today but haven't gotten any help.
TWRP Version 3.0.2
Various ROM's I have tried:
cm-13.0-20160820-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO0J9-Z00T.zip
cm-14.1-20161202-NIGHTLY-Z00T.zip
cm-14.1-20161201-NIGHTLY-Z00T.zip

hmm.. try to reboot into bootloader either from recovery or with help of volume plus power button. then flash ifwi, boot, droidboot, recovery and dnx, then install firmware again. if no luck with that. then you have to flash raw firmware using commands

Thank you for the reply!
Rebooting into either bootloader or with the button commands always brings me into TWRP. Nothing else appears to be possible.
Is there another way I can flash what I need? I am not familiar with flashing firmware and am not sure what ifwi droidboot etc. mean, is there a guide you could point me to for this?
Thanks!

Holy **** it worked!!! Thanks so much man!!!

If you were on cm14 then you are on an mm based bootloader. You can only install roms based on that. All of the lp bootloader based roms will do exactly what you described. The other alternative is to downgrade the bootloader to lp.

There is or at least was a bug in CM 14.1 within settings , if did a factory reset within settings ...whether it still there today with latest build ? I've not tested
What it does or did, is render your twrp ineffective , you cannot flash or restore.
Above solution fixed or fixes it fast and you can then restore or install cm14.1

Z00A no SIM after TWRP restore

Hi
I updated to MM Bootloader in order to flash updates to latest beanstalk 6.0, I then flashed the latest Beanstalk but I started to have strange problems on the lockscreen and status bar not operating, so I restored LP bootloader and twrp and restored the TWRP backup I made before the update but after reboot I get no SIM. I then tried to install other N roms and they are working but after trying one I decided to go back to MM because N drains battery too much, but then I figured I can no longer flash MM roms as I get Error : 7 in twrp.
Any idea how to go back to normal or at least get MM roms working?

Maybe this will help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-how-to-update-to-official-mm-t3452082

are you suggesting to revert back to stock?

Yes, because if the phone doesn't detect both sim slots, you'll have to look for another solution.

it actually works with N, the problem is only when restoring the backup and flashing MM roms

Lots of people confused about M bootloader.
MM custom roms are mainly LP based.
You have actual M based bootloader version which N is based.
You can only flash N based custom roms now, and restore them with 3.0.2M TWRP
Old M back ups , need 3.0.2.0 TWRP and LP bootloader
I point to this for an example , 3rd case in 2 days
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zen...ia-sd-card-t3520642/post70268019#post70268019

But I did downgrade to lp bootloader and 3.0.2.0 twrp before flashing the old rom build or trying the restore. I just don't understand why I loose sim. Does it matter if I was using octodex kernel in the backup I'm trying to restore?

There are numerous scenarios why you back ups might not restore , the twrp that you used at the time may have had a bug which if I remember rightly , mine did the same ..I think there were 2 out of 3 twrp 3.0.2.0 that were iffy .
Then , bootloader unlock too , I think I unlocked with sorgs with .13 and .20 LP but later wouldn't work on mine when in .184 or upwards .. but 1 year passed so ASUS unlock app was used .
Remember when you downgrade to 5 , your bootloader is locked again

I didn't know it gets locked when downgrading, but the restore works and besides the sim problem I didn't have any issues

And now you know
You will be able to flash MM roms again .
That was your original problem

Thank you for your time! I will give it a try

THanks man you rocking

oh yes! finally it is out! flashing it now!

Saw some bullying against you but glad this came out well. I will be testing soon. Just wanted to understand if we need to reflash stock before moving to this from Arrow. How about OTA implementation, is it implemented or will be implemented?

first download the fastboot rom for your phone from this link
Xiaomi Firmware Updater
The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.
xiaomifirmwareupdater.com
and then extract the rom file .
download miflash from this link
Xiaomi Flash Tool - Official Mi Flash Tool
Download the latest and Official Xiaomi Flash Tool from the Official Xiaomi Flash Tool Website.
xiaomiflashtool.com
open miflash and click on select then choose the extracted stock fastboot rom folder. this folder will contains images. then connect the phone in fastboot mode. at the bottom right of mi flash app choose " clean all". be careful NOT to click on " clean all and lock" in mi flash tool, and then click refresh your phone should be displayed. check screenshot. then click flash. it will flash stock rom. at the end there will be a error dont worry about it. it is giving error because we are not locking bootloader. now you are in stock rom. let it boot into rom. after that just follow the instrutions mentioned in OP . this is the method i follow and it works fine for me.

anyone flashed the new build? i just flashed it and i am stuck in setup wizard. its not responding.

i tried restarting and i didnt use twrp or magisk. its a clean flash.

Flashed this rom and been using it for an hour only. So far not good. Setup wizard took solid 5 mins to open up. After setting up the phone and installing the necessary apps I found out that the apps are not opening . Either they crash or take 3 to 5 min to open up. Am I missing something? What about others? Pls do share your experiences. Anyway I believe the dev is very capable and will release a better build later on. Has lot of customisations though.

it does not matter its initial build
