[ZenFone 2 Android Development] lordpipa:
Well after all last night and all this morning , I have it running back again. Had to try 3 different computers to get it to work. Its not being recognized in Linux nor on my windows but yes on one of my friends. Flashed stock recovery and prerooted image 14. Got the phone to boot. Put stock ROM 13 from Asus on SD and renamed it MOFD_SDUPDATE or something of the sorts and it flashed. Factory reset, took the 14 update and then flashed prerooted 14 IMG. Quite a predicament and had me sweating but good to be back.

[ZenFone 2 Android Development] mrbubs3:
Just to check something: have you tried fastboot via USB 2.0? I was having problems with my 3.0 port, until I read on a forum that fastboot.exe force-quits because of some issue with drivers. Being that I did not want to fiddle around with my drivers because of this isolated issue with sending large files via fastboot, I just switched to a 2.0 port and I was fine afterward.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] ddfault:
Basically the two machines I use have exclusively USB 3.0 ports and those that look like USB 2.0 ports are USB hubs connected to USB 3.0 controllers. Nothing ever force quit, but it would tell me it couldn't load the img file. Changing to a different version did solve the issue and successfully transfer the image.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] mrbubs3:
A tragedy. I have 2.0 ports because I wanted a motherboard with wide functionality. I have three 3.0 ports, but I mostly use them for my audio interfaces.

Maybe you can get some 2.0 ports that'd connect via PCI?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] ddfault:
Its not an issue for me since changing which version of fastboot I was using resolve my problems.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] mrbubs3:

[ZenFone 2 Android Development] stegg:
ok guys here is what I did to upgrade from prerooted 2.13 to prerooted 2.13

1) unroot completely via the supersu app and reboot

2) download and apply ota, and reboot

3) enable debug usb and grant your pc, aaaaand reboot

4) connect zenphone and pc via usb, enter cmd and type

adb devices

your pc should show the serial no. of your phone. if it doesn't, stop now.

5) unpack the prerooted system.img into the directory of adb-fastboot commands.

6) to enter fastboot, type

adb reboot fastboot

7) once you see the green android, type

fastboot devices

to get ensured your phone is in fastboot mode. if you don't see the serial no. of your phone.... stop.

8) now that you're in fastboot mode, you type

fastboot flash system system.img

and wait some minutes.

after your cmd windows says

finished. total time: 186.218s

you can reboot phone via the volume buttons

et voila! updated 2.14 with supersu :)

First of all I would like to thanks to all who gave me a hand into flashing the device with a WW rom.

Now, I need one more hand. Does anyone have the WW recovery.img? the device still has the CN (chinese) recovery and I would like to leave it as an official 100% WW device (if possible).

Thanks to all in advance.

Flash only Boot.img to get root?

I just bought the TW version and I got an OTA notification, so I updated. The update went successfully and it actually changed my firmware from TW to WW! Now I'm in version 2.14.90 and I want ROOT rights.

As far as I understand, ROOT is achieved by modifying the Boot.img correct? If so, is there a way I can extract the Boot.img from the System.img ROM and just flash that INSTEAD of having to flash over my stock ROM with the PreRooted ROM ?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] -fluffy-:
Root have nothing todo with boot.img an boot.img is not in system.img u get root acces in system bye add superuser app an to ad superuser u need custom recovery or unpack system.i mg an add superuser an repack system.img again

Add new images

* Add Z00A WW 2.14.40.19 in MEGA (system.img / boot.img / droidboot.img / recovery.img)

* Add Z008 WW 2.14.40.17 in MEGA (system.img / boot.img / droidboot.img / recovery.img)

Those two builds are safe to apply OTA, but remember: DO NOT UPDATE SuperSU and su binary

Big thanks to [MENTION=334644]sorg[/MENTION] for fixing OTA failure :)

Yeah but are they safe to flash oon cn version

i have update disorder, i can't tolerate an alert begging for my attention.

question: i understand i will only lose Ota, right? ie i will have to flash the next 2.15 system.img fully
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] kennethh:
For Z008 WW 2.14.40.17 in MEGA (system.img / boot.img / droidboot.img / recovery.img, do we need to flash everything or just system.img?

If we need to flash every thing, is the following command correct?

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

How to flash droidboot.img?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] sorg:
If you mean notification, then as far as i remember it only one-time. Just clear it once. Also, you can disable notifications from SuperSU in app settings. So, you won't see any alerts unless you start SuperSU manually.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] stegg:
thanks! next time i'll try to ignore the notification. it's not easy for me but i can do it :cowboy:

is it safe to flash all img file on none WW version

has any one try it on CN version or TW version ???
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] afrugone:
Hi,

If I flash system.img recovery.img and boot.img over a TW version, it will modify everything to WW?, could it modify the supported 4GLTE bands to WW version?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] shakalaca:
Basically you need to flash boot.img and system.img, and if you want to apply OTA update you'll need to flash recovery also. droidboot.img is optional, but if you insist:

fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] shakalaca:
Remember to flash recovery.img also

The newest OTA update (2.15.40.x) checks if your recovery is the same version with system.img:

getprop("ro.build.fingerprint") == "asus/WW_Z00A/Z00A:5.0/LRX21V/2.14.40.19_20150415_9660_user:user/release-keys" ||
getprop("ro.build.fingerprint") == "asus/WW_Z00A/Z00A:5.0/LRX21V/2.15.40.10_20150425_1396_user:user/release-keys" ||
abort("Package expects build fingerprint of asus/WW_Z00A/Z00A:5.0/LRX21V/2.14.40.19_20150415_9660_user:user/release-keys or asus/WW_Z00A/Z00A:5.0/LRX21V/2.15.40.10_20150425_1396_user:user/release-keys; this device has " + getprop("ro.build.fingerprint") + ".");
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Xcaliber:
Just went from 2.14.40.19 STOCK WW (although phone was from Taiwan) to 2.14.40.19 PreRoot and it worked FLAWLESSLY!

I ignored the SuperSU Binary Update notifications .... if I update will it BootLoop, or just no more OTA ?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] MironV:
I guess that the OTA won't work. I've flashed 2.14.40.19 pre-root & UPDATED SuperSU Binaries & UPDATED SuperSU app. Everything works fine. When a new OTA will be available, I'll wait for the pre-rooted version (if there will be one) to flash.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] shakalaca:
Add 2.15.40.x

* Add Z00A WW 2.15.40.10 in MEGA (system.img / boot.img / droidboot.img / recovery.img)

* Add Z008 WW 2.15.40.11 in MEGA (system.img / boot.img / droidboot.img / recovery.img)

Both are made from 2.14.40.x stock ROM + OTA package, use on your own risk :)

Starting from this version the OTA process will always check if the recovery and system are the same version. Flash recovery.img and do not update SuperSU & su binary if you want to apply next OTA update.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] MironV:
Awesome! One quick question. I have the WW 2.14.40.19 prerooted version (supersu binaries and app updated, however). Do you recommend clearing the cache from the Recovery Menu, before flashing the WW 2.15.40.10 ROM? Thanks

2.15 errors

i am actually on prerooted 2.14.

i got an error flashing prerooted 2.15:

fastboot.exe flash system f:\zenfone2\system.img
error: cannot load 'f:\zenfone2\system.img'

i downloaded the zipped system.img from the Mega page in post#1 and md5 is correct (d92ddf4030ae6cef081ac732f668c5f7)

I tried flashing 2.15 recovery.img, flash was OK, but after that i still can't flash system... any hint?

(phone works normally, usb debug is on)

EDIT

all's OK, i managed to flash 2.15!

i was using a somewhat wrong version of fastboot.exe!

the 160768 bytes version dated 2013 is OK

Yup. This is the issue I had with fastboot. Its a fastboot.exe issue and nothing to do with the img file. I had to try another fastboot.exe version to get it working.

[ZenFone 2 Android Development] ddfault:
I actually figured out how to get into Recovery!!!

Once you've selected recovery and its loading, You get a Updating Android. If you aren't actually updating, you get a dead error android. Regardless of the image, if you do the following you will get the text version of recovery:

1.) Press Power Button, while pressing power button

2.) Press Volume Up

3.) Release both buttons

I usually press Volume Up like half a second or second after Power and that seems to work. It took two tries last time, but it worked!

I can confirm this version of adb was able to sideload the latest stock UL-Z00A-WW-2.15.40.10-user.zip onto the device. A few portions were updated. (I've noticed the baseband for my phone is newer since V2.13.40.13 build.)

(For adb sideloading Microsoft Windows 7 x64 did not recognize the Android Device Driver and I had to force it to ASUS Android ADB Interface. I used the support.asus.com USB drivers and chose the android_winusb.inf file inside the Windows_XP_VISTA_7_8_8.1 folder. The Hardware ID that shows up when recovery is setup to sideload from ADB for the Zenfone 2 ze551ml is USB\VID_8087&PID_0A5D

The steps I used were...

Backup everything I care about off the device.

Unroot.

Boot into fastboot.

"fastboot erase system"

Boot into recovery.

Sideload ADB Stock WW_2.15.40.10.

Reboot to bootloader.

"fastboot flash system system.img"

Boot new phone.

This ensured any IFWI, fastboot, silentlake, recovery, etc firmware updates were taken care of by the stock firmware prior to getting root back.)

I can also confirm this version of fastboot is able to flash system.img version WW 2.15.40.10 from shakalaca that is prerooted.

support.asus.com now has a full WW_2.15.40.10 zip and they've also released a JP_2.15.40.10 zip.

[ZenFone 2 Android Development] lesmo_sft:
I was brave...

tl;dr version: I flashed system.img on semi-stock 2.13 to pre-rooted 2.15 without issues so far

So after thinking about it for a few moments, it occurred to me that OTAs only contain changes to system files, and that the image files (*.img) don't work that way. So I decided to go on, and just plain and simply flash the system.img file from the Mega folder (Z00A_WW_2.15.40.10). By now some could say I'm crazy, and in fact I am... I'm still a noob on Android stuff, but if I'm right one can do this without bricking the phone.

The exact steps I took were:

Open SuperSU and

completely

remove root

Reboot the phone

Enable USB Debugging

Connect it to PC

Run adb devices to check it works

Run adb reboot fastboot

Wait for the phone to get into Android Surgery (aka fastboot I think) mode :silly:

Make sure the phone appears when running fastboot devices

Run fastboot flash system system.img

Panic a little while it does it's thing

When flashing was complete, run fastboot reboot

Wait for the Asus boot screen to not halt or do anything funny

Panic a little more

See a small window going through the optimization of 102 Apps because apparently that's what an Android update entails

Feel relief as the lock screen appeared

Everything went smoothly. I suppose I should flash recovery.img too. I have a ZE551ML, and as I said, I had a 2.13 build version prior to doing this; I rooted it with the pre-rooted image back then, and un-rooted it before doing this procedure... although I have the theory that it wouldn't make any difference.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Jonog:
Hi folks, possibly my first time posting in this part of the woods.

I got the 551ml and after much time of failures I finally got the 2.13.40.13 preroot imgage flashed onto the device.

Recover did not seem to work for me at all and I keep getting that dead andoid guy on the screen. I know how to flash a recovery.img from fast boot but I am not sure where to find one. On the original rom image I downloaded, when I extract is, there is no "recovery.img" just a recovery folder with files that are not img. Can anyone tell me what to do there? Thank you.

Also now that I am "rooted" is it true that there is no way to update OTA without losing root?

I tried to flash that 2.14 pre root image that someone posted but it wouldnt work at all. Fastboot gave a load of errors, none of which I can remember now.

Also can someone tell me how I can tell what firmware I am running? Thank you all.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] lesmo_sft:
I'm honestly not sure, but I think you could use the one in the Mega folder that goes with your version.

It's true. I wouldn't venture to test it because a couple of guys reported that applying OTA over rooted caused a boot-loop. I think someone said it's possible now with 2.14 and up as long as you don't update SuperSU. Some people would need to confirm that first.

We can't help much if you can't tell us what kind of errors you got... it could be you're trying to flash the wrong file, or it's corrupted, or cable is bad, or drivers are bad and tools can't see your phone, etc.

Simply go to Settings > About (at the bottom of the menu) > Software Info (at the bottom of the menu). There you'll see versions for Base Band, Kernel and Build number.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Jonog:
Thank you for that.

Is it possible to put a clockworkmod or TWRP on this device now or in the future? It took me so long to get it to this point, Id really like a nandroid backup if possible.
