I think the best solution for me should be:

Flash with the fastboot the newest system, boot, recovery.

I'm not sure, if it required to flash the last fastboot image too?

To prerooted system.img :

- usually superSU Pro need after installation an update of su binary.

It is required at your prerooted version too?

- if comes a new OTA after the flash of your last version, what should be done?

- how mutch time need the fastboot flash of system ?

Right now im using pre-rooted V2.17 and i have brought Circle Flip Cover and it is not working, Play Store not working. I think it is due to Pre-rooted Rom.

So I want to try it on Official Rom. I have downloaded UL-Z00A-WW-2.17.40.12-user 1.08GB. How to flash it to come back on Stock Rom???

I'm stuck in a bootloop currently and I can't access the recovery mode or ADB. I've tried to flash the system files using the rooted images since I can't find the stock 2.17 WW files for my ZE550ML is there any way to get it to boot again? I only have access to fastboot, and I've always been able to fix my Nexus devices or G3 but I can't get the phone to boot beyond fastboot.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
I should also note that my bootloop was caused by me accidentally forgetting to unroot last night before updating my phone. I've only had it a week so I could return it but I'd rather not. Does anyone have the stock firmware that's fastboot flashable and NOT rooted for the ZE550ML (I have the 64/4GB model if that matters) I'm looking for the WW 2.15 or 2.17 fully flashable images since I can only access fastboot

---------- Post added at 08:28 ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 ----------

One last thing sorry I've been up all night trying to fix this since its been a busy work week. I used fastboot to format the cache and it still hangs and don't boot past the Asus logo. So I don't know what else to do since flashing the system images fails now
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crpalmer:
Download the update from Asus' site (it formats /system so it doesn't matter that you have rooted) and then use CWM to install it.

At least that's what I did this morning when I took the OTA while rooted.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
How did you load the update onto your phone? And you mean the temp CWM that we can boot into via the .bat file? I just want to clarify because I've tried most things that should work but I've been too busy to really get into it that much. I'm experienced with bricks but its been a while since I had a locked BL phone. I downloaded the images form their site and I have a SD card I can put it on but the last time I tried that it failed and have me some error
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crpalmer:
Yes, that's what I mean by CWM.

While the phone was booting (just hanging on the boot animation) you should have adb access and should be able to push it to /sdcard/ (that's what I did).

Alternatively, you could probably sideload it from adb, but I didn't try that since it was easiest to just push it via adb.

I finally got it working but the DPI is really low like my Nexus 6. I think the DPI is around 420 judging from how some apps look on it.

I should know these things but you forget how to fix phones like this when you're used to having a Nexus device.

Hi vivix. .

Thanks for the effort. Me newbie to zenfone..tried your method and via another thread which quoted you but I had no success.

I had an OTA update to CN 2.17..I did that first.

When I followed your sequence, each time I connected the phone (powered off) the laptop would try to install drivers for MTP USB and fail everytime.

I did a reset and lost Gapps but that's not a biggie. I still couldn't get it to work..I just want to get it to a WW firmware (without root).

Sorry if I'm not clear enough but I am trying this for the first time on an Asus (familiar with procedures for Samsung but not the know how).

Where do I get System.img? I don't see that as an option to download via the MEGA page :(

If I download and unzip all of the "Z00A_WW_2.17.40.12_system_w_root" files, is that where I will find system.img?

Okay now I'm even more confused. 7-zip does not detect the .zip as an archive, and when I combine the .z01-.z05 it cannot detect the result as an archive either. What am I supposed to do with these files??

Im currently on firmware WW_2.17.40.12.

I have restored everything i removed and successfully unrooted.

I want to flash The WW_2.17.40.12 full official firmware from Asus to ensure that if anything that i might have missed may get back to its original (permissions etc)

So, do i need to flash the Droidboot.img, Boot.img, Recovery.img.??? I do not want the pre rooted img file nor do i want to further root it again.

My device was on WW SKU out of the box.

So will directly placing the Firmware on the internal storage and updating via the notification get me to the official stock zenfone 2 firmware.?

Basically, my phone is WW out of the box. I rooted it and debloated it only to find out that it would result in OTA problems.

I thus restored the apps and unrooted and am still on the 2.17 WW Firmware.

BTW how did you flash the Asus firmware via ADB. I get Cannot read .zip file error everytime i try to use the "adb sideload 2.17WWFW.zip" (2.17WWFW.zip being the file name i downloaded from the Asus site. I dont remember the name now. But its the name that Asus gave it). any ideas?

adb sideload file.zip ([B][COLOR="Red"]Type the exact path of the zip file e.g C:\adb\WW_551_0515_0529_20150529.zip[/COLOR][/B])

I read your previous posts regarding full path. So i tried everything. adb method returns the same error of cannot read file.

How about the method of renaming the file as MOFD_sdupdate.zip and placing it on an SD card

or

Placing the firmware on the internal storage and updating through notification.

i think all 3 methods do the same thing adb=internal sd card(update via notification)=external sd card method (mofd_sdupdate.zip)

What are your thoughts???
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuzzybuffalo:
Are you putting the zip file in the same folder as adb.exe?

Edit: I used the 2.17.40.12 --> 2.18.40.12 OTA file, so it did not restore back to stock, did not wipe data or anything.
[Moto X Q&A] goducks3620:
Sorry to put this on an entire thread, but does anyone here have MLB At-Bat on their 2013 Moto X, and if so does the video work? Everytime I try and watch an actual game, I get an "error: cannot play video" and kicks me back to the apps home screen.

Irritating since I pay $130/year and it works on my Roku, PC etc. The app never had this issue before this season. Stock Moto X on Sprint. Wifi or 4G, doesn't matter. MLB has been less than helpful
[Moto X Q&A] fury683:
I have At Bat, but only pay for the audio subscription. I do watch the live look ins and have watched the multi-angle views during the playoffs (free) without issue. Have you tried on WiFi vs cellular? Is GPS on? They use GPS and/or network location to determine blackout policies, so if they can't resolve it, it may error out. Hard to say...
[Moto X Q&A] superkeest:
I have atbat and video works just fine for me. Make sure you're signed in, and make sure the app is updated. Or try a re-install. Im unlocked and rooted FWIW. I also use it with GPS off, mostly on wifi, but on 4g too.

I have at bat and an mlbtv subscription. Video plays flawlessly on my Moto x.
[Moto X Q&A] goducks3620:
Thanks for the fast replies! OK, so it's not an issue with this particular model. I dno't think the problem isn't a blackout thing, NONE of the live games will stream, I just get that stupid error and it closes the stream. Wifi or 4G doesn't matter, and GPS is on.

Now, I just tried to stream an archived game from last night, and that DID work. So it's something with live games. Hmmm.
[Moto X Q&A] klobkelosh:
Which tier of mlbtv do you have? I have the premium more expensive one that specifically says live games stream to mobile.
[Moto X Q&A] goducks3620:
Premium Yearly, the one that's $129.99/yr. I don't think it goes higher than that.
[Moto X Q&A] goducks3620:
Well. I turned off the GPS and now everything works. I don't know what to think about that but I'll take it. Sheesh, I feel dumb.
[Moto X Q&A] klobkelosh:
Ah, that actually explains a lot. It does a location check to see if a game is blacked out in your area. If gps has no location it will just hang. Network location works just as well. Glad you worked it out and go yankees!
[Moto X Q&A] superkeest:
It actually uses your ip to check if your in a blackout area, it shouldn't have anything to do with GPS.
[Moto X Q&A] fury683:
According to App Settings, MLB At Bat has permissions for android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION (approximate location (network-based)) and android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION (precise location (GPS and network-based)); so it uses it for something. Probably when it can't resolve an IP to a location reliably.
