How did you try to install twrp? You should be able to flash twrp with the link provided in the OP via fastboot.
[Zenfone 2 Laser Original Android Development] yoelnico:
Hi guys, i've never done this so i wanted to make some questions before doing it:

Im currently using the ze551kl with stock rom MMB29P.WW_user_21.40.1220.2056_20170224. All i want is to install twrp and su

To properly install TWRP i should:

Unlock bootloader (done)

Activate developers options and enable USB debbugging (DONE)

Download https://dl.twrp.me/Z00T/ latest version of twrp

Now i wanted to know the proper steps to make a backup of the stock room and recovery just in case I **** it up or i want to just go back to stock recovery.

To install TWRP

I need to

Connect my device with PC using data cable.

From the fastboot folder. Press Shift(Keyboard) + Right Click (mouse) and Click on Open Windows Commend here.

Type "adb reboot-bootloader" without quotes in CMD Window.

Once my device open in droidboot mode. Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and press enter.

Type "fastboot oem reboot -recovery" and hit enter.

Thats all?

Does installing twrp creates any problem to just having the stock rom or i should just go to a custom rom?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Original Android Development] mg712702:
yes you are right but atfirst change the twrp.img name to recovery.img......okkkkkkkk
[Zenfone 2 Laser Original Android Development] yoelnico:
ty a lot. Btw how can I backup my stock recovery, just in case I wanna go back?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Original Android Development] mg712702:
you don't need to backup it..because stock recovery already available on xda...you can flash the stock recovery anytime....

I'm trying to do a wipe (data, system, dalvik and cache), but the phone reboots during the process. I do not have SD card, is this influencing? Was it a bug?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Original Android Development] raiden_1115:

The backup that was taken using this recovery will be restored only.

If your phone is running alright, then don't worry. If it's not working, flash the 3.1.1 recovery and then restore the backup.

---------- Post added at 09:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 AM ----------

Furthermore, you don't have to wipe everything after taking backup of your phone just to flash the new recovery. If that same data doesn't work with the new recovery, only then you have to flash the previous recovery again and restore your backup.

---------- Post added at 09:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 AM ----------

Data in the data partition. Whenever apps write data for their apps to run, they write the current version running on the device. In order to make it work, the only way is to clean install with full wipe of the device, that includes internal memory. I suggest copy whatever necessary from the internal memory to the PC. You can do that in the recovery too. If the computer doesn't detect your device, then go to mount. At the bottom of the list you'll find a button named enable mtp. Touch it and start copying. Then your actual journey of wiping and flashing will start.

---------- Post added at 09:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 AM ----------

You can still use stock ROM with the custom recovery. But main purpose of doing so is to get custom ROM and new stuff in it.

---------- Post added at 09:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 AM ----------

You can download it from anywhere easily, and flashing without renaming works too. Once you have a rooted device, you can do this stuff using flashify

---------- Post added at 09:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 AM ----------

What Luk1337 meant is, as soon as the flashing is completed, shut down the device and reboot directly to recovery, most preferably using hardware buttons combination. Because if the phone restarts in system, it will deactivate and maybe wipe the tarp and restore the stock recovery that you've shown in the picture. On the first attempt of the TWRP boot, it will ask to "allow system modifications" on the bottom slider. Slide it to right. On the bottom right touch reboot button, then system. You are good to go, now your phone will boot in stock ROM with TWRP recovery.

Thanks for the update of twrp, the interface seems good but unfurtunately in my Laser ZE551KL doesn't recognize MicroSD so I won't use it right now, I will test as new version arrives
[Zenfone 2 Laser Original Android Development] LuK1337:
Huh, lemme guess. Your SD is exFAT formatted?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Original Android Development] cristianpark:
Indeed, I use it for everything. In version 2.x it works without an issue. Didn't know version 3 must have Ext formatted SDcard or something else

L? T?

What is the difference between the two version of TWRP?

For ZE601KL, which version should I flash?

Is there a tutorial anywhere that I can use to learn how to flash the TWRP in after unlocking bootloader?

Thanks!
[Zenfone 2 Laser Original Android Development] LuK1337:
Display resolution is the difference, L model is 720p while T is 1080p.

For ZE601KL you'd have to flash the Z00T one.

This thread dedicates only to theZe600/601 KL...versions

And if it is possible that....

The Twrp for Ze551kl is also supported for Ze601kl ....!
[Zenfone 2 Laser Original Android Development] luca020400:
We should support every unlockable zenfone device ( ZE551KL for example is Z00T )

Z00T = devices with 1080p screen

Z00L = devices with 720p screen

Hi peeps! Idk if I f#kd up or if it's because of my noobness, i'm following instructions to flash twrp.

I've unlocked the bootloader and then entered adb mode, flashed the twrp-3.0.0-0-Z00T.img via adb

and now im stuck here:

"fastboot oem reboot -recovery"

says unkown command, which is true cause there is no such line in the command list...

Any ideias? Btw, it's a Zenfone Selfie...

---------- Post added at 11:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 AM ----------

know what? i tried at least 3x to enter the new bootloader and only the oem bootloader booted... now it booted into twrp

sigh

sorry and thanks guys! :D
[Zenfone 2 Laser Original Android Development] mad.nexus:
I see now... I have to keep pressing the Vol down button until TWRP enters... Silly me...
[Zenfone 2 Laser Original Android Development] zFoneUser:
I think the command is simply: "fastboot reboot recovery". Remove the "oem" and replace "-recovery" with "recovery" (no dash in front).
[Zenfone 2 Laser Original Android Development] Ns10fan:
Hi.

I had installed the twrp and cm13, and all seemed OK, but when I tried rebooting, I keep getting the "android.phone.com has stopped working" error.

A factory reset seemed to fix the problem, until I rebooted. Same thing. I have now factory reset and am not rebooting. I seem to have trouble getting access to mobile data on T-Mobile, but still can do basic calls.

Any thoughts on this one?

Thanks!
