Yes, provided you were running an actual CM13 rom, and not some other rom just based on CM13. You can download the rom to your SD card and flash it from recovery.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WTKI:
Well. Probably you are right. I just checked my phone hasn't got any root. I tried the one-click root tool, but it doesn't work. Then, I used the Zenfone Root Kit and CheckBeforeAction.bat says I'm not ready to root my device, so I supposed maybe it's sth in relation with drivers and ADB. I installed this and this but nothing. Still not ready to root my device.

What do I have to do now? :(

[MENTION=5181349]abhishekr700[/MENTION]

I need help, my ZF2 suddenly cannot be detected by my windows 7 laptop and pc (it only charged my phone) . When I tried to plug in usb 3 port, it wont get detected. If in usb 2/1 port, it will be detected but with the yellow exclamation mark. I tried updating mtp but it wont update (shows device is up to date). I tried reinstalling ROM and factory reset thru the ROM, but still not working.

I returned to stock but still it wont get detected on my pc or laptop. I ****ed everthing up when I returned to stock since I cant root it back anymore since it wont get detected by adb.

Evereything is up to date including 15sec adb installer 1.4.2 or 1.4.3 and intel usb driver 1.10 from 1.9.

I will try to reformat thru stock recovery and see if it will work. But before doing that, any suggestion or ideas? ZF2 Z00A

The new way to enter stock recovery is to hold Volume Down + Power Button then press Volume Up and then release all buttons.

Have you tried just flashing thru fastboot a pre rooted firmware? And enabled usb debugging on developers options.

---------- Post added at 07:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 PM ----------

If you can enter fastboot then flash a stock recovery, eg recovery for the .174, download .174 firmware which can be downloaded in asus website, placed it into your external sdcard and renamed it to MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip then enter recovery. It will take around 20-30mins.

ZenFone 2 Restarts When Unplugged From Charger At Full?

Hi, my phone has been doing this for weeks, but no matter how much I Google search, I can't find an answer. Whenever I let my ZenFone 2 charge to full before unplugging it, it 90% of the time restarts itself once I unplug it.

Also, about once a day, my phone will randomly restart itself. I don't know if the two issues are related, but I figured it was worth mentioning.

Does anyone know what might be wrong? My techy friend says it could be the battery, but he isn't sure.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sammorrison:
This used to happen to me until I changed my charger and updated my phone. And if this doesn't help then it is not necessarily a battery problem. You may have infected you phone or there is too much apps.

What I'd recommend is,

1- Change the charger

2- Update your phone

3- If that doesn't help, Do a manual full stock rom flash after wiping everything (do a backup of you're important data of course) using the latest firmware on the ASUS website.

4- If even this doesn't solve the problem then it's definitely your battery.

Cheers!![emoji16]

Hi all,

need some help. I have did a lot of reading and search, still couldn't figure out what happened.

so I rooted my zenfone2 M00A, and stupidly hit OTA update. Now phone is stuck on Asus loading screen forever.

I was thinking to wipe everything and put in a custom ROM to fix it, so i unlocked my bootloader.

so i try to install a ROM via fastboot, (actually I think i need to install a custom recovery??) mode but no matter what i do it says "error: device not found"

i couldnt go into recovery mode neither, it would start a installing and run into an error and restart.

I am not sure what i did wrong.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WebWill3r:
I'm not a geek But I understand your problem and I can try to help you out. I did softbrick few devices now and always worked it out.

I would make sure to install adb and fastboot properly updated for your OS.

Than install proper updated drivers for your device brand/type and OS.

Connect device to PC via USB

Than try launch adb opening adb folder and shift+right and choose: "open CMD prompt here"

Than type:

adb devices

(it should come a serial no.)

If it does your on the right way. IF it works ask me or someone more exp how to follow up in order to install a custom recovery, a ROM and proper Gapps.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WebWill3r:
If you have a responce with a serial no. go ahead and type:

adb reboot bootloader

If you get reboot into Fastboot, you'll see: Fastboot!

In the corner upleft.

Provide a proper boot.img, a custom recovery.img and place them in the same folder as Fastboot and Adb. Rename them as I wrote (boot.img and recovery. img) and type:

fastboot flash boot boot.img (ENTER)

fastboot flash recovery recovery. img(ENTER)

N.B. after each and Every Command press ENTER. Same with Adb as said b4.

Finally type:

adb reboot -oem recovery (ENTER)

Place custom ROM (if your mobile is supported I'd download CM13 from official site where you'll find a link to the right Gapps packages. The arm version of CM works for most devices otherwise make dure to download the proper architetture zip of the custom ROM and place it in the extSDcard. From recovery do a FULL WIPE (Factory Reset), then format /system, /data, /cache as F2FS.

Finally install zip from Sdcard and don't reboot. Flash zip with GAPPS in the same way. (Install zip from SD card).

Wipe cache and Dalvik cache and FINALLY reboot into system.

Hopefully after an Android upgrade you should have your phone back, up & running.

Pls thank if I helped or get in touch, we see if se can work it out sharing desktops via Teamviewer.

First of all thank you for putting in all this info. Even though I didn't get a serial number so I can't go to next post/step yet.

when I type "adb devices"

it says "list of devices attached

(empty space)"

when I type "adb reboot bootloader"

it says "error:devices not found"

During my research on how to fix my phone. I have installed a bunch of app and updated drivers. I probably didn't get the right version?

Are the adb driver and fastboot driver two different applications?

I have installed these drivers/applications below:

adb driver setup 1.43

Intel android driver from https://software.intel.com/en-us/art...oid-usb-driver

Universal ADB Driver

Asus Flash tool installer 1.14

Android studio 2.1

minimal adb fastboot 1.3.1

I can't tell if they are corrected version, and I probably can't find the post where I found the link to download them.

My phone says Z00A and IFWI 0094.0173 on fastboot screen

I have also read somewhere that USB3.0 might be a problem for connecting the phone, is there any way to get around with it? My laptop has four usb ports and I did try each port ( I opened device manager and there are 10 different items under Universal Serial Bus Controller, some say generic Hub, some say composite device, root hub, some say blah blah 3.0 blah)

Phone was bought in Taiwan so it should be an original TW version if that helps.

Bootloader version says unknown and other info are either blank or ?

Please help!

Is there at least one stable working

I scrolled through tons of threads in development forum and every single one has at least one message with freezes, random reboots, the rest hell.

I'm currently using Resurrection Remix and it has the same trouble. Apparently builds with solutions come from time to time, but they're never resolving problem completely. And its not just this ROM, its almost all of them.

Is it just unstable CM branch for our model serie or developers just doing mistakes in code that leads to memory problems?

Stock is not having some of these problems (but some other it still has, like LED problem), but it offers a bunch of garbage, terrible battery consumption and the rest, so is not even taken for consideration.

Now my Zenfone 2 has the version 2.20.40.174, but after the error there isn't more the push notification. I've tried all method of update but without succcess.

Internal memory method -> Nothing push note

Reneamed the zip MOFD_SDUPDATE and tried with recovery mode -> "E:failed to map file" "sd installation aborted" "installation failed with status 1.

Flash with adb the version 2.20.40.183 downloaded in this forum but the result was this:
