Make sure you do a full wipe (excluding the ext sdcard) before install and wipe davik after the install before booting. Install gapps after first booting the OS then reboot to recovery to install gapps. I would go direct to the 05-18 lineages nightly it has been working fine for me, as have the previous nightlies. Remember to backup everything before you start the above process.

I think it is the factory reset protection of google that is preventing any commands from fastboot from working. Just try to remove all passwords and locks from your tablet, remove all google accounts and then factory reset it. Then try to unlock the bootloader through fastboot or try flashing temporary twrp.

The bootloader is locked so I cannot downgrade to lollipop. Even temporary twrp flashing is not working.

[Asus Zenpad 8.0 Questions & Answers] asahi_nysurf:
I don't know what kind of version of the ASUS Zenpad that these guys have, but i was not able to install TWRP on the pad.

use fastboot! it works

https://xdaforums.com/android/help/asus-zenpad-8-0-z380kl-bootloop-t3373051

My Situation:

I recently updated some apps on google play and it caused a bootloop for my device. Additionally, I was also running an old version of CM13. I was happy to upgrade to the lastest nightlies of this current message. Somehow the battery management is better.

Make sure you have your rom in your sd card or if somehow you have access to file system before you upgrade get your roms ready. (that's preparation)

<proceed with the following>

1. hold volume up and power (from an off setting)

2. choose the first option

3. follow the instructions to boot fastboot

4. boot in twrp (3 & 4 are basically a combo deal)

5. do the wipe thing

6. install your rom

7. gapps install

8. reboot

9. enjoy!

I hope it helps!

;)

Best,

hello, I resume this post to ask for your help again.

I followed the procedure correctly but I still have tablet restarts in the loop.

The strange thing is that it happens with 2 distinct versions of cyanogenmod. both 12 ,13 and 14. Then I noticed it happens right after google play has installed or updated an application. Initially I thought it was a specific application but then I noticed it happens randomly, but always when I install or update.

The message "trebuchet crashed " first appears and then begins to restart in the loop.

Root marshmallow 6.0.1

Hi gents, I 'm with an issue after having upgraded my z380kl to marshmallow 6.0.1. Basically I've lost root status although I saved all my previous settings and apps (stock Rom + original boot loader). Now I'm bonking my head try to root it again; I checked kingroot with no luck; I checked cve-2016-0728 vulnerability so I could escalate privileges to root but, again, no luck. I'm wondering if I can inject SuperSU into the original Asus image (as it comes in rar format) doing script modification but it'd take very long time. Do you know if is it possible to root 6.0.1 version? Or do I have to downgrade to lollipop and then root it? So far my aim is to move to cm13 and this explains why I'm posting here. But IOT to flash twrp I definitely need root access. If some of you could please help me I'd really appreciate.

Many thanks

Ok: some updates. I was able to download and install the latest unofficial cm13 for p024. Due my mistake I came into error "setup wizard has stopped" which rendered my Asus unusable. I fixed reinstalling from scratch cm13.

Bootloader

Now you have me thinking, I assumed the bootloader was unlocked either by kingroot or flashify because I could install twrp. But maybe it is unnecessary on the z380kl to unlock it to be able to install twrp.
