I've been posting here and there around here lately but thought I'd get a cleaner, more focused thread going for those of us who used HTC's unlock tool and want root.
I managed to get the bootloader unlocked with HTC's tool and installed SU and clockwork onto my Inc2 but I think I'm having problems because I'm still S-On instead of S-Off.
So, what do we do next after unlocking the bootloader? I'm under the impression that because I'm S-On still, I can flash a custom ROM, but not only the ones with the stock kernel intact. This would be why Sabotage was able to install, but Mik wouldn't. Still only a theory, though.
ANY HELP PLEASE!!!

There are 2 options to flash a custom ROM that has a custom kernel on an unlocked bootloader.
1. Instead of booting to recovery mode directly, you need to boot in Fastboot mode and issue the command:
Fastboot boot [path to custom recovery.img]
This will boot you into recovery mode using the custom recovery image. Then you can flash a custom ROM with a custom kernel correctly.
2. Extract the boot.img from the custom ROM zip file and copy it to your SDK tool directory.
Then boot into recovery mode and flash the custom ROM. Next you must reboot into bootloader mode and enter Fastboot mode. Enter the following command:
Fastboot flash boot [path to the boot.img file].
Try either option 1 or option 2. You do not need to do both.
Hope this helps.

Tried option 1 and when I go to select install zip from sd card after booting to cwm the phone restarts. Trying option 2 now...
Option #2 won't work since I get stuck at the HTC screen when trying to load a custom ROM.

How did you try to reboot into bootloader from recovery once the ROM was flashed. Once I get into recovery I connect the phone with a USB cable and then type
Adb reboot bootloader
This will boot you into HBOOT straight from recovery and should prevent the hang at the HTC.
Ok. Let's start fresh and complete:
1- Plug phone into computer.
2- select HTC sync on phone
3- open cmd and get to sdk
4- type "adb reboot bootloader"
5- phone should reboot to HTC's recovery thing
now what?
I have cwm installed already.

Just select Charge Only, not HTC Sync.
Once you type adb reboot bootloader you should get the HBOOT screen and it should show FASTBOOT USB.
At this point you should enter Fastboot commands from you PC command prompt.
So you said you tried fastboot boot [path to recovery.img file] and it did boot you into recovery, right? Then you should be able to flash the custom ROM and reboot normally when the install is complete.
For option 2 once you are in recovery mode flash the custom ROM and then when it is finished connect the phone with the USB cable and at the command prompt you should be able to type adb devices and it will respond with your device id.
If it does, then type adb reboot bootloader and it will take you back to the HBOOT screen. From there you would then enter the following Fastboot command:
Fastboot flash boot [path to boot.img file]
Then Fastboot reboot

You determine what the path is when you download the recovery image to your PC. The best place to download or copy it to is the same folder you run adb.exe and fastboot.exe from.

OK maybe I am missing something here. Do you actually have full root? If you do, how did you get it? I don't know how to get the su binary and busybox installed. I have unlocked my bootloader using the htc supertool and I don't have root, which is keeping me from installing CWM or anything root related for that matter. I have not seen any instructions on how to root this thing since the unlock tool became compatible 3 days ago. But maybe I have missed something.
Thanks for any help.
Still cant get rom to boot... however, i have been able to fastboot into custom recovery and complete the flashing process...
Now i am just stuck at the HTC screen after reboot.
Any suggestions?
Thank you all so far. You have been most helpful.
***** update ***** I finally got it after fast booting into recovery, flashing rom, and then extracting boot.img from that rom and flashing it via fastboot.

After you have an unlocked HBOOT, you need to flash CWM recovery image in FASTBOOT mode. Once you have CWM installed, you can install the latest SU-3.0.xx.zip to root your current ROM and then you can installl and use root programs like ROM Manager, Busybox, Titianium Backup, etc. or you can install a rooted custom ROM.
Hello XDA, I got my Galaxy Nexus stock and OTA upgraded it to 4.1.1 Jellybean. I unlocked and rooted the phone and while installing roms I accidentally formatted and factory reseted my phone. I can get into boot loader, and I have CWM installed. If I could just move a rom onto the phone I could boot it. Problem is I cant figure out how to. Keep in mind I am also using a mac. Can anyone help me figure out how to push a rom zip onto the sdcard? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

You can abd push from a custom recovery
Alright so USB debugging isnt on but I can still use adb commands? How?
You have to boot into a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) and use adb commands.
for ex. adb push NameOfRom.zip /sdcard/
I just tried that and my terminal returned
device not found
Don't mount anything don't do anything special in recovery at all.
You're booted into recovery?
Also...I found when I wasn't using naked drivers that it took ~30 seconds for ADB to actually be recognized.
Maybe wait a minute and try again.
If not unplug and plug in.
I can use fastboot commands and it it recognized in fastboot, can I flash a stock rom from this mode?

If you're using fastboot...that means you're not in custom recovery.
Navigate to recovery in that menu.
Or use fastboot boot ______________.img to boot into a custom recovery if you have one downloaded and in your platform tools directory.
But yes, you COULD do that.
But I wouldn't yet.
You'll lose all of your data/apps/etc.

You don't flash fastboot images via CWM. If you have CWM installed & you're booted in to bootloader (fastboot) mode use the volume keys to reboot into recovery

I tried pushing a zip to the phone while using adb and a custom recovery. My terminal says it pushed the files to my SD card, however when I go to install the zip, no files appear. Even when I restart recovery there are still no zips found. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Maybe try...
adb push NameOfRom.zip /sdcard/NameOfRom.zip
or
adb push NameOfRom.zip /data/media/NameOfRom.zip

Hello Yu Yureka fans!!!
This for the Yu Yureka fans who want to root the phone but don't want to miss OTA update by flashing custom recovery
In this thread i will tell you how to ROOT your Yu Yureka without flashing custom recovery.
This method will not flash custom recovery over stock recovery, this will just boot the custom recovery once just to flash the superuser.zip. so you will be back to stock recovery after flashing superuser.zip.
So lets get started...
Your Bootloader should be UNLOCKED
Files you need:
1. adb and fastboot drivers
2. A CWM recovery link (don't worry we wont flash it, it is just needed to install superuser.zip)
3. Superuser.zip link (save this in your sd card or internal memory)
Note: Keep recovery.img file in the same folder where adb and Fastboot drivers are placed and always open command window from that folder.
Connect your phone to pc via data cable
Steps:
1. Open command window (cntl+shift+right click)
2. Type
Code:
adb devices
if your device is connected you will get it in connected devices
3. Type
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
4. Type
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1ebf boot recovery-yu.img
now your device will boot into recovery mode
5. Select install zip from sd and navigate where you have downloaded the superuser.zip and select install.
6. Done!!! Your device is rooted and you are still in stock recovery :good: you wont miss the OTA
To check if you are in stock recovery just reboot into recovery :good:
Hit thanks if this helped :good:

i am on twrp recovery can i flash this recovery on that and update the new ota?
please help
because of sim slot 2 issue i want to give my phone under warranty
I want to Flash the original stock firmware of Zenfone 2
i have downloaded the stock Firmware file.
how should i flash it. should i flash it using Fastboot method or TWRP directly ?
current recovery : TWRP
If you have TWRP then you must have unlocked the bootloader, which means your warranty is void.
Ya i know... But it is hardware prob. So i don't think so they will check my phone bootloader.. So want to give a try
Do you have the white splash screen? If you do I'd flash the black one back in TWRP, then at least it isn't immediately obvious the the boot loader is unlocked. Next, I'd fastboot flash back to the stock recovery for the firmware you are going to restore (you don't want to leave TWRP on there). Then wipe data and cache, put the firmware on your SD card renamed as MOFD_SDUPDATE, and boot into recovery to flash it.
Thxxx. I had already flashed black splash screen...
Ok finally i need flash stock recovery and then flash the original firmware...

Hi folks
Can anyone make a guide step-by-step to how back (from cm12.1 to stock)??
Clean install like factory stock!
I think it´s a good action to noobs, like me!
I found this steps, but i donót know if is so simply like description:
http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=12528
"Open adb folder and Shift + right click > Open Command pomport Here (click on it)
On the adb cmd type adb reboot-bootloader
After you enter the fastboot/droid boot, on the adb cmd type fastboot flash recovery <Recovery Image File Name.img>
Example: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
After the recovery flash complete go to "recovery menu" and select on it, after you enter recovery navigate and select "update from adb"
And type on adb cmd adb sideload <Firmware File.zip>
Wait the for the process to complete the phone (~25min), if you have an auto reboot, you need to enter in the "boot loader" and select again "Recovery Mode"
you can now select "wipe data/factory reset" (~5min)
when is finish select "wipe cache partition" (~1min)
and for the end select "reboot system now"
The Boot process Will be Little Longer After This Process PLease Be Patient (~5min)
Finish!

Backup anything you want to keep and export it to PC to re-add it onto your phone later.
Download stock firmware here: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE551ML/UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.59-user.zip
Rename it to update.zip to make it easier for you. Put it in the same folder where your adb is located on PC.
http://www.mediafire.com/?afulultx06r70a4
Download latest stock recovery here.
Reboot your phone into bootloader. Open a command window where these files are located (shift+right click in Windows should open a context menu with open command window here option).
Flash the recovery: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Type that without quotes and press enter.
After it's finished, press volume down on phone til recovery option comes up then press power button.
Let the phone reboot. Eventually an error screen will pop up. When it does, hold down power button and press volume up. Release both buttons at the same time. If you did it correctly, recovery menu will now show up.
Choose apply update from adb sideload then from PC command window type "adb sideload update.zip" without quotes.
Then wait 10-20mins for it to finish. You'll be completely stock. Your data and internal storage will be formatted. That's why I said make backups first.

Help Me DUDE !!
Hey There, I need to give my phone for replacement but I had unlocked the bootloader. how do I Re lock it ???
I bought a Z00A online just a few days ago, rooted it, unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP, and then CM12. All was perfect until I realized some hardware problems with the speaker. Also lately it doesn't boot up easily on pressing the power button. In fact every time I have to go to the bootloader and 'Normal Boot' from there. And even that doesn't happen all the time. I have installed the stock recovery, flashed back the black splashscreen, and also the stock-firmware through adb sideload successfully.
Now can someone tell me does flashing the stock firmware through adb sideload re-locks the bootloader or not ??
If no, what are my chances of getting a replacement ???
I'm attempting to go back to stock also. So when I'm in bootloader fastboot and adb do not see the phone. Adb sees it when in recovery and in normal. But I need fastboot in order to flash stock recovery. Right now I have official TWRP and superzen installed. I've tried in both Windows and LinuxMint. With the same results in both. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Hi--
I could use some help. I have the rooted stock and installed a new boot animation. Now the phone will not boot. It stays in the boot animation. It does not bootloop. It booted fine prior to the bootanimation.zip replacement. I cannot ADB into the phone to delete the zip but I do have fastboot. Tried to install TWRP to flash a new bootanimation.zip to fix, but TRWP install fails (permission denied). I completed the Asus bootloader unlock to get root.
What can I do?
Thanks--
do you unlock bootloader ?
try to fastboot
use adb command "fastboot flash recovery name.img" to install twrp
Thanks for the reply. I do have a fastboot connection, but it errors when trying to flash recovery:
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Permission Denied)
finished. total time: 0.906s
I know the BL is unlocked as that's how I rooted it an hour before this happened.

USB debugging should be active but I cannot verify since it will not boot. Yes, I used the Asus app to unlock the BL. How would doing a Factory Reset help if the error is in system, not data?

Thanks. Couple of questions. Where do I adb sideload from? When the phone is in stock recovery or BL/fastboot screen? I've tried to ADB from BL/fastboot screen and I don't have a connection.
Also--which stock ROM do I use? The WW version as I only see a JP, CN, TW and CUCC versions...no US specific version. WW is the right ROM for US?
Thanks again--

put your phone in recovery then select adb option (if you dont know how. google how to get in recovery zenphone 2)
put the stock rom in folder adb
then you can use this command
you can check your version on fastboot screen
i think US = WW
srr my english

if you wanna do sideload first you need Asus Zf 2 firmware --> http://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone_2_ZE551ML/HelpDesk_Download/ download the same firmware installed in your phone (settings-->about phone--> see the build number--> that's your firmware) or you can see it when you on recovery mode (ww=worldwide, so US is ww).
download fastboot_adb (1.0.32) --> https://www.mediafire.com/folder/w70w7r1a65840/Zenfone_2 and the unzip the file, copy/put Asus Zf 2 firmware that you have download into fastboot_adb (1.0.32) folder ( you can rename Asus Zf 2 firmware with "file" name or you can leave it that way)
go to recovery mode--> select apply update --> select apply update from adb
open fastboot_adb(1.0.32) folder --> hold shift + right click --> select open command windows here --> type adb devices
--> type adb sideload file.zip ( or you can just drag Asus Zf 2 firmware ) --> wait till it finish flashing --> when it done reboot
Thanks for all the help here. I was finally able to side load the ASUS ROM and I'm back in business. All due to a bad Boot Animation ZIP!!??!!
I had trouble because adb would not do the push/install anything due to a bug in HTC Sync, which I still had installed from an old phone. Apparently, they have a custom DLL/library that breaks adb. Once I got rid of Sync, I was able to push the ROM a over and was back in business. Thanks again for the help.

Type fastboot devices and it should show your device serial number. As long as that appears you will be able to sideload the latest version

are you on recovery mode? using stock recovery or custom recovery? custom recovery will never work when flashing through adb sideload, i'm flashing latest firmware through sideload just now
Actually i was in system recovery earlier. İ did something. I tried load twrp (teamwin) and i did. It opened but and then i reboot the bootloader and chose recovery but it didn't start recovery it just restarted the bootloader. So i have just fastboot mod now and my computer sees my phone when i type fastboot devices. Can you say one by one what should i do

you should on recovery mode to do sideload, also in my experience i never succeed apply update from adb using teamwin, that's why i always go back to stock recovery if i want to update through adb sideload, but to get stock recovery you have to go back to stock Rom, you need stock Rom and fastboot_adb(1.0.32) ( i already give links to get those files in the comment before) download the stock rom (choose 1 for ex: Z00A_WW_2.20.40.139) unzip that file ectract to Z00A_WW_2.20.40.139, you should have the following files: system.img, boot.img, droidboot.img and recovery.img. connect your phone to pc/laptop, open cmd on Z00A_WW_2.20.40.139 folder by press and hold Shift keyboard key+right click (select open command windows here), In the cmd window enter the following command: “adb reboot bootloader”, Next, in the same cmd window, type the following commands (press enter after each line): “fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img”; “fastboot flash recovery recovery.img”; “fastboot flash boot boot.img”; “fastboot flash system system.img”. (i will provide you a picture when i'm doing that), when done, still on cmd execute the following commands: “fastboot format userdata” and “fastboot format cache”. up to here it's done you can reboot your phone, if you want to update the simple way just copy firmware file you want to update to internal storage and remove usb cable it will auto detect an update, but if you want to do update using adb sideload after format cache do not reboot phone just go to recovery mode(by pressing vol button twice), select apply update from adb, on pc open fastboot_adb(1.0.32)_071114_r21 folder, put firmware you want to update in this folder (ie : UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.168-user), open cmd on fastboot_adb(1.0.32)_071114_r21 folder by press and hold Shift keyboard key+right click (select open command windows here), In the cmd window enter the following command: "adb devices" it should show you devices no and sideload, in the same cmd window, type the following command: "adb sideload file.zip" wait till it done, when it done reboot your phone.
