and go for step 4(which flash twrp recovery)
now flash the recovery which is provided by me using code.
and now go can go into recovery
****************************************************************************************************
i suggest you this guide this method do for me

Disable update CM recovery option in developer options... Then flash custom recovery.... it will work.

once flashing twrp recovery, you will need to use
Code:
fastboot -i 0x1ebf reboot
command.

remove battery after install recovery before restarting phone
then insert battery and start in custom recovery

install Custom Recovery
1) enable developer options
2)enable advance reboot and usb debugging
3)disable Update CM recovery option
4)reboot to bootloader and flash recovery
" fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash recovery recovery_twrpyulolli.img "
5) directly disconnect phone (phone displaying FASTBOOT MODE)
6) remove battery and start phone in recovery mode using volume UP+DOWN and power key
7) And YOUR are IN TWRP RECOVERY ......
THIS method work for me perfectly .....i m also having same problem of flashing custom recovery and again showing CM RECOVERY
:laugh::laugh:
Thank You...!

Which is best for yureka cwm or twrp recovery

I'm facing the same problem but this trick didn't work for me.

501CG Can't mount /cache/recovery/log ... etc

My 501CG is in a bootloop and can't go to recovery.
The device can be detected by adb but I can't sideload anything. I've tried everything I know but couldn't fix it.
I tried to post a screenshot but the forum won't allow me and I can't explain what the problem looks like so I don't know what to do now...
Please help me. Thank you.

Can you go to fastboot? Adb still reconize it then go to ADB and type adb reboot bootloader then try to flash the recovery and factory reset. If the problem still exist after factory reset you will need to look up for system.imgs files for the zenfone 5 and flash the system imgs from fastboot

Thank you so much for helping me.
When I type adb reboot bootloader, it says <waiting for device> and stays that way.
I have a screenshot of the error but I can't post the proper link. Here's a modified version of the link, just replace the <dot> with a period I guess if that would work. That's the only way I can show what happens to the phone.

Sorry, I'm also not very familiar with how adb, fastboot, and whatever else works, but I learn fast and can follow commands.

Well the mmcblk1 partition i think is messed up @dgadelha can you help us with this?

Hey there!
Thanks @ChristopherXI for noticing me.
@Teks0427, can you please try this guide? It will rebuild your partition table and install Android 4.3.
Hope it helps!

I'm so sorry for disappearing all of a sudden like that. I had to attend to a LOT of things and I totally forgot about the phone.
I'm gonna give it a go tonight and post whatever happens here right away.
Thanks guys! I really appreciate the help...

Hi! The phone won't go to droidboot mode. PressingPOWER + VOLUME UP brings me to the Asus bootup screen (sometimes with a black background and sometimes with a blue one) and the words
CSC Mode
long press power key to restart system
And sometimes it's just the normal Asus bootup screen (and gets stuck there). On that CSC mode screen, plugging in the USB and typing "fastboot devices" does nothing
D:\501KL>fastboot devices
Booting up in recovery mode works, and when in the recovery mode menu page, typing "fastboot devices" still does nothing but typing adb devices gets this response:
D:\501KL>adb devices
List of devices attached
051c7013 recovery
D:\501KL>
Running (as administrator) the file sec_offline_update_image.cmd from the recovery menu page gets this response:
D:\501KL>fastboot oem backup_config
< waiting for device >
And it stops there.
Also, when plugging the USB cable to the phone, it starts installing an "MTP USB Device" but always fails after a few minutes.
I already tried bringing the phone to the accredited Asus Zenfone repair center here in the Philippines but they said they don't have the firmware to flash this model. They didn't give any explanation nor did they refer me to anyone else who might know how to fix this thing.

Read his problem carefully.
He has a 500KL not a 500CG.
That guide will not work
Apologies for saying thus but if there are no RAW firmware of the LTE model. It's pretty hopeless

The sec_offline_update_image is for A500CG/A501CG only.
I'm sorry but I do not own an A501KL so I can't help you with that.
And if ASUS can't help you, sue them for that.

Bro You Should change your """Title:501CG Can't mount /cache/recovery/log ... etc"""

Yes, I'm so sorry. I noticed the error in the title just now. I got confused with my 2 Asus phones that I put the wrong model in the title. Stupid stupid me...
I'm so sorry for the mess.
Thank you all for your help...

I guess it will help you...

ZE550KL bricked ?

Hi,
I was at work Sunday night when the phone offers me an update, not wanting to lose my data I re-growth that has Tuesday morning during my last round (which takes me roughly 25/30 minutes ). So I run the update and go round when I come back I have the phone on the screen of blocked boot ...
Considering I'm looking since yesterday, I have already tried many tutorials that did not work.
I tried everything flashed like to start from zero but nothing worked. I have every time a message like: failed can't install image not signed OR dtb not found ...
I have access at fastboot and nothing else.
There's way to save this phone I for 3 months or it is good to wedge a table ?
Thx in advance
edit :
ok, i do this
http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2015/10/how-to-root-asus-zenfone-2-laser-ze500kl.html
and this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66894780&postcount=5
and i have now acces to recovery mode
Edit 2 :
http://www.asuszenfoneblog.com/2015/04/how-to-flash-asus-zenfone-2-via-adb.html with the firware Version V13.10.7.1(Andriod M) https://www.asus.com/support/Download/39/1/0/20/KsY29RCpsJ2bea9O/32/
but after reboot i have the message : ERROR : Can't load invalid boot image !
i lose th recovery and i can't flash the boot ( remote dtb not found ) ...
edit 3 :
the phone has restarts with the original firmware but I have so manipulated that I do not know what I did
I remember using the following links : http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2015/09/how-to-flash-asus-zenfone-2-laser.html ans the stock rom for 550KL
when I reinstall the rom of origin, such would not boot and I had to boot the mod_boot.img picture (Flashtool boot mod_boot.img), which launches the phone and now more problem. It remains to remove the root which should be easier than the rest.

@Genux888 This link takes to ZE500KL's firmware downloads https://www.asus.com/support/Download/39/1/0/20/KsY29RCpsJ2bea9O/32/
Your phone model is ZE550KL but you first attempted to flash MM ROM of ZE500KL
Thats why you got error: invalid boot.img and you lost recovery.
I don't know where you got mod_boot.img from. Neverthless, here's the simplest fix-
1. Download ZE550KL's Stock_boot_recovery.zip
This zip contains stock signed recovery.img and boot.img. Extract it and copy both .img files to the folder where you have adb and fastboot files.
Download correct firmware for your ZE550KL of the correct SKU. You can find your SKU on your phone's box.
WW SKU : Download ZE550KL's firmware v1.17.40.1531 for WW SKU only
Let me know if your phone's SKU is not WW
Copy the firmware zip (UL-Z00L-WW-1.17.40.1531-user.zip) to your external sd card.
2. Connect your phone to computer and Reboot phone to fastboot mode.
3. Now run the following commands
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot oem reboot-recovery
3. Third command should reboot your phone to recovery mode.
Now, in recovery mode-
A) select "wipe cache partition" then select yes
B) select "apply update from sdcard" then select "UL-Z00L-WW-1.17.40.1531-user.zip" and finally select "yes"

I did the following-

Input : "mount /system"
Input: "wipe cache partition"
Output: Cache wipe complete
E: unable to mount /asdf
E: Can't open /asdf/recovery/last_log
This shows that I am able to wipe cache after mounting /system (though it doesnt make sense)
I didn't wipe data as I don't want to setup my device again. You may try if wiping data works after mounting /system. Alternatively, you can flash stock 1.15's recovery (download from post #2)
and flash in fastboot mode using
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(assuming you recovery.img file is present in the folder where you have fastboot files)
And, here on XDA, we hit "thanks" good button if a post was helpful to us.

Sorry to reply so late but I managed to unlock my phone has put version 5.0, the update to 6.0, UNLOCK the boot, root the phone and install the TWRP may close 2 or 3 hours after my last post.
thank you.

i really like it when people post all the steps taken and links in their problem posts.
this is great.
(no, that is NOT sarcasm)

The best solution out there for zoold 550kl
This is the best answer for the rooted asus zenfone 2 550kl for upgrading to marshmellow stock .Thank you...

Help
@sziraqui My phone is in a bootloop and I honestly know pretty much nothing as to how to fix it.. I know it's the ZE551KL, but that's pretty much it. Is there any way youcan help me out? thanks in advance

Stock recovery for MM?
Anyone have stock recovery for MM upgrade from LP?

Problem Not Solved
I am Also facing same type of problem but the difference is :
- I am only able to enter fastboot mode only when i am connecting my phone to pc via datacable.
- After flashing recovery.img and boot.img also i am not be able to go to recovery mode..
Can someone please Help..

I've seen you've tried a lot.
I'd suggest you try this... As long as you can send your phone to fastboot and can pc/add your way through you'll be able to unbrick it. This takes a bit of time as you'll be dealing with two huge downloads (system.img and stock rom) but it should do the trick.

The guide at https://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-80274-1-1.html talks about flashing boot.img first then a huge (1.7GB) system.img second then recovery.img last.
So it could mean the boot.img and system.img needs to be dealt with first before you have any chances of getting your recovery to work.
Follow the steps closely, I've been able to fix a brick with it twice.

I've a Raw file image of the rom but i don't know if it possible to install it in fastboot and what is the right Command on fastboot!
This is all, i hope that someone can help me

Download stock recovery from here and flash with fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img and download official firmware from official site.
Go in to recovery and wipe cache and data,after select update from adb,open adb and write this command:adb sideload name_of_firmware.zip or put firmware.zip in to sd and rename update.zip go in to recovery wipe cache and data and select update from sdcard and select update.zip

thank you for the response, after the flash of the original recovery, i tried to go in recovery with "volume - and power botton" but nothing only asus image, than i tried with fastboot command --->"fastboot boot recovery.img" and Failed( remote dtb not found)

nothing! My friend doesn't remember if he unlocked the bootloader, the phone doesn't go in recovery... So the problem is the unlocked bootloader or a locked bootloader?!
from your answer I understand that if it is unlocked i can go in recovery, so i assume that the bootloader it's locked and for this i can't go in recovery...

I don't know, when I pressed three buttons I didn't enter to recovery mode, but to rescue mode, as if recovery wasn't flashed.

Do you have a dload folder with update.app inside, in sd card?
With that and pressing vol +, vol - and power at same time you enter in flash mode and start to flash the rom

Yes, I have, and it's still not working
I can't charge battery, so i don't think it's software.
Maybe it's motherboard

Hi Have got succeeded or not, if not follow the guide.
Is your phone being detected by PC if yes then you have chances of recovering your phone.
1. Download 15 Seconds ADB and Fastboot Drivers. Visit the official XDA forum for download and installation instructions.
2. Install Huawei HiSuite which will install drivers .
3. If HiSuite doesn't install Install drivers then install universal drivers for your device .
Now connect your device to pc and open HiSuite and click on system recovery it will show options for recovery if it is success then you are fine if not then proceed to this method.
Connect your phone to PC.
Open Command Prompt in the directory where you have extracted the ADB files by holding Shift and Right Mouse Button and finally click Open Command Prompt window here in the context menu.
Completely power off your device.
While holding Volume Down button, connect your device to PC via USB cable to boot to Fastboot Mode.
1. Type the following command in ADB :
Code:
adb devices
If your device is being detected and it shows list of devices attached and its serial number.
2.Now download the firmware of the phone before your phone got bootlooped extract the update using the file here
3.Now copy the following files ( boot.img, recovery.img and system.img ,cust.img ) from the extracted files to the ADB files directory.
4.Now Execute these commands one at a time using the command prompt.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot reboot
5.Now Perform a Factory Reset if your phone got recovered.
If not then download the stock recovery of your Device and try steps 2,3,4.
Even if it doesn't get succeeded then try this option .
If your device got bootlooped while on Lollipop or Marshmallow then you have one more way to recover .
6.Now download the latest TWRP from here and boot into TWRP recovery if you cant enter TWRP recovery for this version then try the previous TWRP versions like 2.8.7 ,
7.Use the following command to flash the TWRP recovery
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
8.Then download any of the custom ROMs or ask any of the XDA members for TWRP backup for your device and flash them through Recovery.
Then Reboot your Device.
You would most probably recover your device from any of the above methods . I too had the same problem and My device was use less for almost 6 months but after several trial and error methods my device got recovered.

Did you try flashing different variant ROM ie different builds?
Actually I too got the same problem bootlooped on LP but cant flash the LP ROM back so I flashed different Region ROM.
Give a try to TWRP Method It should give you success.
Imp:
Try the previous ROM where you got Bootloop, or the version earlier to it.If it doesn't succeed try the rom which you got initially on your mobile.
PS: If your phone is being detected by your PC you have good chances of recovering your phone.
