CM to Stock rom

Hello friends,
I want to go from CM ROM to ROM STOCK, but I want to keep my root and Philz Touch recovery.
I find it on the web: http://dl4.htc.com/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/a5dug-3.4.0-g1e44625.zip
which corresponds to the version: 1.56.401.1
But I do not know if I install it via the recovery or another ....
I'm afraid of creating conflict (brick) with the root / customrecovery ...
Did you ever try?
thank you

If that's the RUU for your device the process is simple. All you need to do is rename it to 0P9CIMG.zip and put it on the root/main folder that pops up when you plug it in to your PC. Afterwards boot into recovery and it will automatically detect it. It will ask if you want to proceed choose no.
Before you do the restore you need to relock the bootloader in fastboot mode.
The command is:
fastboot oem lock
Reboot to fastboot and it will say relocked and detect the Stock RUU file. Select yes this time and allow it to proceed.
Do not stop this process even if it seems it froze as this can cause a brick.
You can also use this command after relocking and rebooting to fastboot. At this point on your PC put the RUU file in your ADB folder and run this command:
fastboot flash zip filename.zip
The above command I recommend because after you relock the bootloader CM might not want to boot up or it might try to automatically flash the RUU as soon as you enter the bootloader as I've seen this on some select devices. Try the command first as it works the same, just instead of flashing from your storage its through PC/USB. Kind of like ADB sideload. If you run into any issues you can unlock the bootloader with the same Unlock.bin file, flash a recovery in the bootloader and follow up with the SuperSU.zip through ADB sideload then finally a CM ROM flash through sideload as well.
Once your device boots you could put a Nandroid Backup and try that instead. Yes, you can move each individual file if you don't have a SD card from the internal storage to data/media/clockworkmod/backup. When you get to the last file you copy the folder with it to retain any properties it has and has the same foldername matching the backup files. You'll know what I mean because the storage is only 3.7 GB available and moving the nandroid completely it needs to copy it even using cut. I use ES file explorer for file management. Works great.

Bootloop without USB Debug

My ZE551ML was rooted and I decided to update it being unaware that I was supposed to unroot it before updating. Once I got to the recovery menu, I attempted to sideload the newest firmware but the device was not found despite being able to be found during the bootloop. I then performed a factory reset and now it is stuck on a bootloop and cannot be detected by adb at any point.

U can use fastboot to flash ur device
But be careful with it u can hard brick ur device if done the wrong way

But how do I fastboot to flash? Every tutorial I found told me to use adb sideload which I never found possible.
Edit:
I solved my problem by copying the firmware I downloaded into an external sd card under the name MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip and going to recovery mode.

download full firmware according to ur device from here https://mega.co.nz/#F!k4MHiAgL!dVuOKeH3eokcwPSNI79ffw give Thanks @shakalaca for this
download (Z00A)2.19.40.18 if u want to unlock ur bootloader cause latest one cause problems with unlocking bootloader
when the device is off press power wait till it vibrates once then immediately press vol up button
u will boot into fastboot mode
there u can use fastboot commands
now form ur pc go to the path where u downloaded the firmware
press & hold shift & right click
select open command window here
now in command prompt give these commands
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
all done ur device will reboot
now u have a rooted device
remember if u want to update than first unroot it reboot than update

where do u get the system.img?
im also in a similar situation where im out of usb debug cause of factory reset

System.img is the entire firmware except for boot, droidboot and recovery... These can be flashed separately BUT make sure you use the right commands...
If you get to the usb symbol only displaying on your screen, you've stuffed up and it is a true brick...

I have the same problem than vinod.katakam!
I try to update my Asus Zenfone 2 Laser (ze601kl), to a recente version of Android, because i'm stuck on a older version of Lollipop.
My system had a SKU WW, so i downloaded the recent version WW (marshmallow) from Asus website, and treid to update, and that gives me an error. But i reboot the phone a it works fine. But still on my old android version.
Then i tried to just update to a more recent version of Lollipop, the process appears to start fine, but then it gives me an error. Now, i tried to reboot and i end up with a endless bootloop.
I tried everithing, update by adb (cant open the file), update by sdcard (E:Error in /sideload/package.zip (Status 1) E: fota_return_code 408), and fastboot boot.img, recovery.img, but on system.img says the file is to big.
I dont have de USB Debbugind activated. Is that a problem?
I dont have important data on the phone, i just want to make it work again.
Please help!!!!

Hello guys!
Well, i manage to understand my problem and solv it!
I bought my phone from Gearbest, and the problem begins there. Why? Because, regarless my phone is a CN device, it came somehow with a WW sku. You must know that a CN device have system partition smaller than the WW device.
So, when i tried to updated it with a more recent WW system there was no room for that, and the instalation stops with a error message.
After many "Trial and error", i understand what my problem is, and tried to install a CN system version by "fastboot flash" with a system.img with root that i find here: "https://mega.nz/#F!lodnzDhK!H5ChxausDTyko1qGlnF7dw"
To fastboot i used the fastboot tool that sukhwant717 told me to, in the post #15.
Well, that worked, so i now have a phone working. Them i go to Asus website and downloaded the latest CN firmware to my divece, copy it by USB to the internal memory of my device and upgrade it.
So, now i have a phone working with a factory system but with no google apps.
I found this website with google installer: "https://www.digitbin.com/google-installer-apk/" follow the intructions and finaly i have Google play in my phone!
Now everithing works fine!
I hope that my story could help someone with the same problem!

I badly need help

Go to Original Android developement. It's in the pre-rooted thread, these are the ONLY img files for roms available unless you push the zip file using ADB...

Flash the system zip file rather than trying to flash simply the .img. The zip files are in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/development/asus-zenfone-2-rom-t3054956) and might help because you're also flashing default recovery... could be CWM.
Also try flashing using fastboot.

your phone model?

1. download the latest recovery from here https://dl.twrp.me/Z00A/ and firmware from here http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE551ML/UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.97-user.zip
2. download and install adb and fastboot driver from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 and intel usb drivers from here https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-usb-driver-for-android-devices
3.the adb driver should have installed in your pc OS drive [ which is C: ] put the downloaded recovery and firmware in that folder [where adb is installed] then in that folder, open command window by pressing shift and right click and a dialogue box will appear then open the command window from there and enter this command fastboot flash recovery {name of the recovery twrp something}.img then connect your phone to your pc and enter bootloader in your phone and press enter in command window.
4.after that put the downloaded firmware in any sdcard and put it in your phone then open recovery mode in your phone and go to reboot>recovery [yeah you have to reboot the recovery] then when recovery open again then go to wipe>advanced wipe> and select system,data,cache,dalvik and internal storage [internal storage is optional but if you choose it then it will wipe all your data in your phone] then wipe it and go to install section then choose the extsdcard [it should be written internal storage click on that then you can choose your external storage] then in the extstorage choose the firmware you downloaded and just swipe to flash.
5.patience ..because it would take time and maybe get stuck at 52% or 59% ..so just let it take time for installation [btw connect your phone to thr charger in this process]
6.after it done then reboot your phone and ALL DONE. [the first boot will take some mins to boot up]

Zenfone 2 ze551ml Bricked, permission denied, No TWRP, Xfstk not working

I have tried everything and everywhere I hit a brick wall,
So my screen stopped working and I got that replaced by Asus. When my Phone came back all appeared to be working well untill 2 weeks after.
My cameras stopped working, the flashlight stopped working, the sd card slot stopped working and the SIM slot 1 stopped working.
So I wiped the cache and now the Phone does not boot anymore.
Tried to update rom via ADB in recovery: permission denied,
tried to backup via adb in bootloader: cant find device
Tried flashing the bootloader, permision denied,
tried using Xfstk, screen on xfstk remains blank
Updating via sd is not possible anymore since the SD card does not get mounted in the bootloader...
Anyone any idea?

Does the phone's correct serial # appear when you type "fastboot devices"?
When you say the xFSTK screen stays blank, do you mean you can't see any writing? If this is the case, did you install the drivers before installing xFSTK?

I'm not sure if you need to install the Intel USB drivers in safe mode but I just installed them as an Admin and then ran iFSTK as an Admin.
There is no need to flash a boot.img file because iFSTK will install a temp bootloader and boot into fastboot mode. Then, run Asus Flash Tool as an admin and flash a raw file to the phone.

I can get into fastboot mode, however everything I do in it gives the message permission denied. Maybe I do not need xFstk, but Asus Flash tool does not run as it quits with the message permission denied

It may be that the bootloader is locked. Try flashing a stock MM recovery and then use the "update from SD card" option to flash a stock ROM from the SD card, assuming the SD card is recognized by recovery or try to sideload a stock ROM.

Yes,
but aftert flashing for some time it says permission denied

I'm not sure but it could be that the bootloader is locked so it can't flash the entire ROM which results in a permission denied error.
Did you try powering off the phone, opening iFSTK as ad admin, change the settings as required, start the download, connecting the phone, press and hold the power button for about 2 seconds, release the power, and let iFSTK try to load a bootloader?

Ifstk does only show a blank screen on all my pc's just tried 5 of m,

If iFSTK shows a blank screen, you should uninstall the program, re-install the USB drivers, reinstall iFSTK, and try again. I also had the blank screen problem in iFSTK but was able to get it working by restoring a Win7 image and starting over.

I downloaded this ROM to the SD card and force to update EMUI by the SD.
If someone can explain me another way for update the phone or the firmware, please tell me!!! Thank you!!!

You can extract the UPDATE.APP from the zip file and create a dload folder with the UPDATE.APP in it and copy it to the SD card. I believe your recovery is stock so power off your phone, power on the phone while holding VOL+ & VOL-. You will see emui recovery and it will install the UPDATE.APP from the SD card. Once finish just reboot your phone.
if you have TWRP install, you may have to flash the phone with the original recovery image first. Extract the required "RECOVERY.img" from an original "UPDATE.APP" file using the Huawei Update Extractor and then flash it using fastboot:
Enable developer mode and connect via USB
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
Reboot
Then, created a "dload" folder on your SD card and placed the original "UPDATE.APP" inside. Unplug USB (important!) and reboot while holding Vol+ & Vol-. This should install the original firmware from your SD card. You will lose all your data!
Finally, you can lock your bootloader:
Enable developer mode and connect via USB
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem relock <YourPersonalUnlockCodeHere>
Reboot

Thank you very much for your response, I will review this information this weekend and see if it works for me.

Dear, try to run the update by the process of volume up and down to take from the SD but it was impossible, I still throw the error.
I wanted to ask if you know how to unlock the bootloader to be able to do it by ADB and watch videos on YouTube and try different bootloader unlocking processes but did not serve.

Did you get your unlock from Huawei website? If not then register an account here
Once you're registered, login to your account and go to this site and click on unlock. scroll down and tick the agreement and click next.
Insert all the required details and proceed. you will get your unlock code. Save the code and keep it incase your need to relock your bootloader.
make sure you have enable USB debugging and enable oem unlock, then connect your phone to PC. In Adb type adb reboot bootloader to boot to fastboot mode. when in fastboot mode in adb type fastboot oem unlock *unlock code*

My problem is that I can not start the S. O, this with fail and I can not do the OEM authorization from it, if not already had it unlocked easier from the same android entering the code that I have.
I need to know if there is any way to unlock the bootloader to be able to enter the code ADB, the problem is that when you login to bootloader is locked, I need to find the way to unblock it without having to enable the debugger and OEM that I'm not Being able to enable it because the system does not work.
Since without this I am seeing that the ADB does not start me. It throws me error when running the FastBoot
