[Help] No more bootloader after full ASUS-ROM reinstallation

Hi,
After rooting my ZE500KL doing some stupid operations (like breaking gapps with Titanium backup), I decided to make a full factory reinitialisation with UL-ASUS_Z00E-WW-12.8.5.106-user.zip..
That's work fine, but I can't boot to bootloader any more with power+sound key combination or adb reboot bootloader: boot never finalize.
Information: The recovery boot correctly.
Anyone can help me ?

Try flash .156
It updated bootloader, so it should fix your problem.
After that, you can downgrade to .118 if you want (best version for rooting, imho)

Go to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-2-laser/general/wip-finding-to-root-ze500kl-t3223797
and download Original boot.img and Official recovery then use ADB to flash your bootloader
-adb device
-adb reboot bootloader
-fastboot devices
-fastboot flash boot boot.img
-fastboot flash OfficialRecovery.img
-fastboot boot boot.img
try it.

plz help me here i have indian moto g4 plus.
this the link which i follow

Yeah, that Youtube guide is for rooting under Marshmallow - Nougat is more stringent and rooting with the stock kernel, as you've found out, will cause boot issues. A reliable way to root on Nougat is to flash a custom kernel onto your device.
Do you have a backup in TWRP to fall back to?
If so, and you've restored it, or if you don't have a backup of your system, then try rebooting back to TWRP and flash ElementalX v1.04 onto your device (either from a SD card or by plugging your device into your computer and try using 'adb push' to transfer ElementalX v1.04 to your device's internal storage). https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/development/kernel-elementalx-g4-0-01-t3424836 for ElementalX. Hopefully then, you'll be able to boot.
For rooting under Nougat with SuperSU, have a look at this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...de-root-moto-g4-plus-supersu-android-t3587918

I faced the same problem when I unlocked my bootloader because for some reason on some models the phone will wipe the whole system partition instead of just the data. If you want to use a custom rom then you are able to flash that with twrp no problems but if you want the stock rom back you will hava to flash it either with fasboot (will flash stock recovery) or use a twrp backup someone made of the stock rom (nougat) I just did a google search for *moto g4 plus stock rom twrp backup* and clicked on the first link which contains guides for both methods (I cannot post links sorry)
Hope I could help

If you're after Nougat v7.0 Dec 2016, NPJ25.93-14 https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-xt1640-43-athene-npj25-93-t3549369

Bear in mind flashing either may wipe your device (and thus your data and internal storage), if you can, try to back up your key files via TWRP to your computer.
If you're downloading the same firmware as the build you have at the moment, you may be able to save your data and restore your system by using these commands, however be prepared to use all the flash commands (including wipes) if it doesn't work:
Code:
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash oem oem.img

[MAGISK] Patched Boot Image For OnePlus 8 (OOS 10.5.2)

Hi,
I was able to root my Oneplus 8 with latest OOS 10.5.2 update.
You will need to have your phone fastboot oem unlocked.
This is for EU(UK) ROM only.
You can follow this guide like how I did:

Moto G5 Plus on bootloop - would like a stable Android 10 experience

Hi all,
I have a Moto G5 Plus (dual sim, European version) that was on stock Android 8. I wanted to revive this old phone and use it for experimenting.
I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP recovery and then installed the unofficial Lineage OS 17.1 (here from xda: [ROM][UNOFFICIAL][10.0][POTTER] LineageOS 17.1).
I then proceeded to get root installed using no-verity and magisk.
I now have a boot loop that loads Lineage but then restarts into TWRP recovery.
It's been a really long time since I fooled around with bootloaders, recoveries and alternative roms (been using a Samsung S8 for several years now on stock rom).
So I am unsure how to proceed. What do you recommend that I do?
I would like to have a rooted Android 10 on the Moto G5 Plus, preferably without a bootloop
Update 1:
Using this thread I have been able to revert to stock Android 8.1 ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
But I would be interested to know which Android 10 ROM would be recommended for the Moto G5 Plus?

Problem; the procedure you followed is for a Moto G, and not a G5 Plus. If you used Moto G firmware on your Moto G5+, you may have induced more problems.
Moto g5+ firmwares are located at https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/potter/official/ Proper firmware for the Moto G5+ depends on your model and what country you are operating in.
potter - Moto G5 Plus = firmware
XT1680(LATAM/Argentina/Chile,2GB) {LATAM; Latin America}
XT1681(LATAM/Colombia/Mexico,2GB)
XT1683(Brazil,DS,DTV,2GB)
XT1684(Europe,3GB)
XT1685(Australia/NewZealand/Europe,3GB)
XT1686(India,3/4GB)
XT1687(USA,2GB/4GB)
{AMX, America Movil Mexico}{owns Claro}
{ATTMX; AT&T Mexico}
{AMZ; Amazon)
{RETAPAC; Retail Pacific; Australia, New Zealand}
{RETAR; Retail Argentina}
{RETBR; Retail Brazil}
{RETEU; Retail European Union)
{RETGB; Retail Great Britian}
{RETIN; Retail India}
{RETLA; Retail Latin America}
{RETMX; Retail Mexico}
{RETUS; Retail Unitied States}
{TEF, Telefonica S A.}
{TEFBR; Telefonica Brazil}
{TEFCO; Telefonica Columbia}
{TEFES; Telefonica European Sector}
{TEFMX; Telefonica Mexico}
Since your in Europe, your firmware group is probally RETEU, RETGB, or TEFES. You need to locate your model number of the phone, maybe a XT1684 or XT1685 and find the model number under the proper directory of firmware. I would download the latest, usually has 8.1.0_OPS28.85-17-6-2 in the firmware name and the lastest date. Extract the software and fastboot it.
For the 8.10_OPS28.85-17-6-2 firmwares the fastboot commands are:
Fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
Fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
Fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
Fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
Fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
Fastboot flash logo logo.bin
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
Fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
Fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
Fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
Fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
Fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5
Fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6
Fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7
Fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.8
Fastboot flash oem oem.img
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot erase userdata
Fastboot erase DDR
Fastboot reboot
Again, this may not work because if the Moto G firmware you flashed on to the Moto G5+.....
Also, did LineageOS work on the phone before flashing Magisk and/or no-verity ?

Hi, thank you for your help.
Yes Lineage OS did work. Was it Magisk or no-verity that caused the bootloop?
So, I went to the proper stock ROM, and then I installed the Pixel Experience: https://download.pixelexperience.org/potter - so far nice and stable.
What is the commended/cleanest/safest way to get root?

Sorry to not reply earlier - was tied up with election recounts -----
Do not know what caused the boot loop. The proper way to install is to install LineagrOS first, boot LineageOS and make sure it comes up, Then go back to recovery/TWRP and install Magisk and the reboot to system and check LineageOS to make sure it came up. Then look in your apps and see if you have the Magisk icon. On the no-verity, I had a couple that did not work, I was turned on to Disable_Dm-Verity_ForcedEncrypt_02.04.2019.zip at
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603877244 (by WolfCity - thanks)
which worked for me. Use the procedure at paragraph 13 (my procedure that I listed
a PDF, its at http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=...86655137330218 ) to install the program to decrypt the file system. Then reboot the phone and verify the phone is un-encrypted (it will say "Encrypt Phone" instead of Phone Encrypted). Then you will have to reboot back to recovery and reinstall Magisk again (its because when the file system was decrypted the memory was formatted/overwrited). Then boot back to system and verify Magisk is in your icons again. If you have Magisk, you should have root. You can verify root by either programs that check it root or open a terminal window and type in SU and Magisk will pop up a window asking if you want to give the program root access.
Hope that helped.
