[ZenFone 2 Android Development] djlucask:
Any solution to this??
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] feinz91:
i flashed this twrp stock rom and got black screen also, so i assumed it bricked my phone. my previous rom was Groovy Android.

so i unbrick it back using the method from Zenfone 2 General thread without any problem.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] royskeyz:
It works thank you. I subscribed bro. Keep up the good work. :')
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] gugas123:
My thanks to the Dev.

This is the first time I can revert to stock. All others methods I've tried resulted in bricking the phone. Then I had to flash all again and again :(

Both files are working in perfection :D:D:D

Now the only thing missing is erasing all this apps that come in the stock. Gonna do that manually, one by one :good:
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] mr_gourav2000:
Wait for my custom Rom.

And also please suggest me, which apps I remove from stock Rom?

Can I add any app in Rom?

Many thanks.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] gugas123:
:D

Add Nova, ES file explorer, adaway, cm theme (if possible)

Get rid of the not essential.

Leve asus camera, flash light, asus key is quite good, asus calendar is good. Creat a menu option to go directly to recovery and flashboot, instead of having to turn phone off and then up+power
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] mr_gourav2000:
Ok

BTW you can use twrp manager for boot option.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] KarloHD:
I would not have too many installed apps. Google Apps and some asus apps is good.

For reboot TWRP manager or simple reboot app is good.

The Rom stay clean.

Later everyone can install what would.

Sorry for bad English

You can see what AL_IRAQI removed of his prism barebone rom, it is a very nice rom, but not up to date with the last firmware.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] mr_gourav2000:
If you want updated barebone Rom, I can do it.

But if you want my stock based custom Rom, then please wait about one week.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] mr_gourav2000:
Ok
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] titou4488:
I will wait one week to test your rom. Thanks!
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] tenfiftysix:
Excellent Job mr_gourav2000! Am looking forward to your own debloated rom

[ZenFone 2 Android Development] lu89:
hi!

i'm sorry but i need help to understand, if i want to return completely stock, can i flash your 174 firmware and after the stock recovery?

can i bypass adb sideload in this way?

thank you for our patience

edit- i mean .168 firmware, i seen now .174 it's only an ota
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] dimitrakhs1:
Are you sure,we flash root BEFORE flashing ROM?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] mr_gourav2000:
No need to stock recovery any more.

I also give every update for twrp.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] mr_gourav2000:
Yes

Without that, flashing is fail.

But after flash Rom, SU will removed.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] dimitrakhs1:
So,in order to have root,we flash Su again...right?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] MajinkenSword:
I'm on Prism Barebone which is on 165, can I use the OTA to upgrade and still keep my existing data? Will it impact anything else that I have installed? TIA ?

[ZenFone 2 Android Development] dspgt:
Do i need to install the .174 before the .178 update?

Can i install directly the .178 update coming from the .168?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] brentjireh:
Nice hope this thread will be always updated@!
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] mr_gourav2000:
Yes you need install v174 1st, and after that v178.

Please feedback when successful flashing
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] royskeyz:
Updated from .174 to .178 without problem. Very nice work dev. Keep it up. I tried almost all roms, but i keep coming back to stock. Ty bro
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] KarloHD:

Thank you! But you will make ota update for prism, update your own debloated rom and ota update for stock?

When do you think the OTA for prism will be ready?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] mr_gourav2000:
Actually I changed my mind,

I never release debolted stock Rom.

Because I working on prism barebon update, so my Rom is useless.

I release nexus UI based Rom, and it takes more time.

For prism barebone ota, I release it soon (within 2 or 3 days)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] titou4488:
Great! i reinstall prism now!
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] timbernot:
Thanks @ Mr gourav, very nice feel , all went swimmingly , flashing etc ...good work .

is al Iraqi working on another device now , is he ok ? etc

Will sure be great with updated prism , my god ..70 plus apps in the drawer..ah ha ..that's the reason I loved prism ;)

Too many glitches on cm lately ..back to stock n stripped if possible :)

May you made some mistake.

Please explain more for solution.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] domenicocortez:
Awesome!!! I hope that you have a paypal account for donation, because we will give you a reason to keep this rom updated... we lost al_iraqi and his prism rom (change zenfone for honor 5x i think) but please zenfone community, we need a good stock rom, we must stay alert and help mr. Gourav. Marshmallow will occur in june, cyanogen13 will be buggy until august (for testing new rom from asus) so you can give us a new hope (star wars soundtrack begins ;) seriously if you need to upload files on gdrive, more space, need deleted apps from prism or something, tell me!

Also, prism rom was based on full rom, not ota, and secret for a good battery life was the deleted apps, from google AND from asus, that suck energy (there is a list if i remember)...

But again thank you mr gourav for your work
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] dspgt:
I don't know. I followed your guide. The rom stock it's ok, but the recovery doesn't work. I solved this problem rooting again the device and then installing TWRP with the twrp app. Thank you for the support

Is it possible to make an OTA in deodex ROM like prism? Just a newbie question. Just cant move on to install other ROMs. Hehe
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] brentjireh:
Yeah any CM13 rom I tried has too many issues, compatibility and others. Now I'm on stock and loving it.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] mr_gourav2000:
OTA updates not possible on deodex Rom.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] 24imelqui:
Thanks, If you have successfully deodex a .178 stock rom (similar to prism barebone) with bloatwares removed. Can you make a guide on how you did it. I want learn how to do that also.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] mr_gourav2000:
Here you see OP for deodex and odex Rom

But why deodex Rom?

What's problem in odex?

What is benefit of deodex Rom?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] 24imelqui:
I was back reading and you said you want to create a ROM, similar to Prism Barebone which was deodexed. So, Im asking if you could make a guide on how deodex a ROM for some ppl to learn.

There no problem with deodex or odex ROM as long it is debloated. :)
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] mr_gourav2000:
I remake prism barebone from last version, but in my way.

After that I give all ota updates as stock ota.

So it is different way, but same result.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] jmouf:
Hi and thank you to rework on stock Rom.

I can't flash it if I wipe system, it's give me an error (system busy) but I can flash from 168 if I don't clean system (from prism).

What is the problem? It was the same with All Iraki Rom...

Can you make a stand alone flashing Rom?

Sorry if I don't speak well, I'm French ☺
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] gugas123:
I think you have that error when you forget to first instal supersu before flashing the Rom. Just follow OP instructions and all will run smoothly

Backup previous ROM

Clean flash

Install superSU (I used 2.65 1st time and 2.71 2nd time and both are working fine)

Flash .168

Flash 174

Flash 178

Clean cash and dalvic memory

Reboot
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] titou4488:
With prism when you wiped system you just needed to reboot recovery before flash, may be it's the same problem here so just try to reboot recovery before flash the stock rom.

Sorry bad english

How to flash stock Rom

I want to go back to Stock Rom .My phone is rooted. Boot Loader Unlocked.please explain the way

i followed all your instructions(how to use)

1.download the ROM.

2.download update super su-v2.65zip given in the link.

3.reboot to recovery

4. wipe system + data + cache + dalvi

5.now i initalled supersu then i flashed the ROM(ww-2.20.40.168.

[ZenFone 2 Android Development] domenicocortez:
Deleting systems apps or data is much easier in deodexed ROMs as all you need to do is to delete a single file. However, .odex files must be deleted separately (if not deleted already) to avoid errors after deleting an app/ app data.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] mr_gourav2000:
I know that.

But don't worry, I can do it.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] jmouf:
Thank you, will try next time i want to make a clean flash. For now all is perfect (i've flashed prism + 168 + 174 +178 + superSU).
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] mr_gourav2000:
Can you plugged charger during this process?

Try again when your device is cool.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] domenicocortez:
oh god! im back on stock and there is so much bloat\****\crapware......

I disabled 28 apps, yes, 28 apps and uninstalled 10 or 12, so 40 useless apps on my phone, its mine and i cant do what i want!?!?!

A little question: can I install entire ROM and the two OTAs in a row, without reboot into system?

Well, my plan is:

1- Install entire rom

2- Install OTAs

3- Debloat all (I'm doing a script merging [MENTION=4648515]AL_IRAQI[/MENTION] and [MENTION=699725]escape75[/MENTION] scripts)

4- Root + Xposed.

5- First boot.

If its possible, will be easier to make these steps, without many "Android is upgrading" :fingers-crossed:

PS: I have doubt if I keep stock autostart manager and power saver apps, or migrate everything to Xposed (Greenify Turbo + Amplify + Power Nap). Lets try to do it :laugh:
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] mr_gourav2000:
Yes you can flash all three file one by one, without boot up.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Dan_Jacques:

im rooted and on 174 version how can i flash these without bootloop and unroot ?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] mr_gourav2000:
1st you need unroot,

For unroot, you can do it in superSU.

Go to settings, full unroot, reboot.

Done

will it make complete unroot and im now on twrp does it matter ?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] mr_gourav2000:
No matter, just one problem when unroot.

You can enter in recovery mod by buttons.

Resolved

I was not using Xposed. and I had only installed Busy box earlier and did some changes with Titanium Backup. However I still don't know why the issue happened.

Anyways, I did the following steps and now the phone is working fine without any data loss:

1. Wiped System, Dalvik Cache and Cache only. (Did NOT wipe data & internal storage)

2. Reinstalled SuperSU, and then TWRP roms from the beginning i.e. 168 to 183 as per the instructions in 1st page.

3. Reboot System

Now I have the latest update installed with all the old apps and data perfectly intact. :)
