so i just bought the phone last night. then i upgrade it to official nougat. then as usual i always install custom recovery and root my new bought phone. but when i try to follow the steps from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3/how-to/twrp-recovery-3-0-2-root-zenfone-3-t3569926 i missed the copying of the supersu.zip, busybox.zip, root.zip and noverity.zip part.
so i did unlocked my bootloader through recovery and installed twrp recovery. and then i realised i forgot to copy the 4 zip files to my phone. because after i try to boot my phone the red sign message pop up saying "it says my device is corrupt. it cant be trusted and may not work properly. your device will shutdown in 10 seconds" so basically i just bootloop my phone because i cannot boot it, everytime after that message appears my phone just turned off.

Wrong way.
Go here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/zen...552kl-t3471524
Download stock recovery.img. flash back recovery by adb command. Enter recovery, install stock rom 152 or nougat you want.
Remember, rom file must be tranfered to micro sd card

The method only applies to P8 and the author says it might not be applicable to Max as the recovery is P8.
However, just for the record
1. Unlock the bootloader
http://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=unlock&mod=detail
2. Fastbboot custom recovery *Need to create a TWRP recovery for the P8 Max
3. Root

Managed to root my phone.. even when I have updated the EMUI to B018, but there was an issue.. I tell you below
Step I follow from Chinese Forum below...
Preparation step :
1. download the tools from
https://www.mediafire.com/?9drsdo2f6hn4j34
2. Extract the content to your local. Note there are two folders :
- Folder 1 is for the tool that contains the TWRP recovery.img and the adb/fastboot tool,
- Folder 2 is for the original recovery
3. Copy the SuperSU zip to your phone (either in internal or external memory of your phone)
Installation step :
Step 0, unlock your bootloader (search around on how to do it)
1. Since I am using mac, somehow I don't need to install any driver, but if you using windows, install all the driver yourself
2. Enable the developer mode in your phone, and after that enable the usb debugging
3. Turn off your phone, and boot to fastboot (in off mode, connect the phone with your PC then press Volume Up and Power Button together)
4. Since now your phone has been connected to the PC, go to that Tool folder in respective of your OS, then overwrite the recovery with TWRP with fastboot command (install custom recovery) *note : for mac just add "./" in every command
- check the whether its connected : fastboot devices
- install TWRP : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5. Restart your phone and boot to recovery
- restart : fastboot reboot
- after reboot, turn off your phone
- reboot to recovery : turn on your phone by holding Volume Down with Power button
- Now you are at TWRP
6. Install SuperSU (root)
- Install SuperSU zip that has already been copied to your phone using TWRP (use the Install mode)
7. Reboot the phone
- Use reboot function in twrp
8. Profit
Theoritically the above things works but I have some issues following the above :
- After step 4, after recovery being flashed with TWRP seems like my phone Boot Partition is being overwritten too
- So when I rebooted the phone, it boot to TWRP instead
- So I tried to re-flashed the recovery with the original EMUI rom recovery (go to the folder "2.P8Max_Official_Recovery(For_restoration)" to find the original recovery.img). Also note that in the this folder, the adb and fastboot is only for mac. The one for windows use it in the tools
- This is done by going to fastboot again, then do command : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- This time using the original recovery
- Now when I rebooted the phone, it goes to EMUI recovery, then I just clicked restart to system or something
- After this, everything fixed, and I have SuperSU install and phone rooted
You can follow the above, but do it at your own risk, I am not responsible if your phone brick hehehe..

Instead of flashing the recovery to the phone you can just boot it one time. Just use fastboot boot recovery.img instead. This will load twrp and not flash it.

Speaker is damn good... but when playing games or watching movie, it is covered by the hand... so it would be better if the speaker is front facing..
otherwise it's good... but I do hate EMUI though... its making the experience sluggish...

The stock recovery when it's launched, it's in English, dun worry I have re-flashed it as I mentioned in the prev post..
Anyway the stock recovery is extracted from the current available ROM for P8 Max, which is in chinese. There is no international ROM available yet for this phone.

Help installing a ROM.zip from ASUS on ZE500KL

Hello all,
I really need help for my ZE500KL. In summary, it stucks on ASUS logo and bootloop. I can't get to welcome screen.
It is not rooted, i've never touched to the original system. I got this problem after an update from OTA. The update was not interrupted for information.
I can get to the recovery menu, can do a wipe data/factory reset, but it solves nothing. Same problem.
I've tried :
- apply update from adb but this stops at 46% and failed with an error like E:failed to verify the whole-file signature
- apply update from microSD but it stops and failed without error message
I don't know if there is another way to fix.
Thanks
Bro go to the asus site and download the whole rom nd flash it thru recovery.
M also had a same problem.
So let me know nd which variant u hav?
Thanks for the reply.
When i said "I have apply update", this means that i've downloaded zip file from Asus website, and loaded it via the recovery but the process stops at 46%.
Maybe it will work for a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP but as i know, there is not a working CWM or TWRP for ZE500KL at this time. Maybe.
For me, the stock recovery don't work for loading the zip file from ASUS. It says something like : Unable to verify the whole-file signature, Process failed

If your device stops at logo this means that it boots into fastboot mode. I`ve had a same problem. You can take this adb driver . After installing you need to put in C:\adb file boot.img from archive which you dowloaded from official asus.com, then run cmd.
Code:
cd c:\adb
and last command will be...
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
try it.

I tried. It doesn't work.
I proceed like this :
1- I've booted the device in recovery mode, connect it to PC and uninstall the device and his driver in to the device manager. I do the same in fastboot mode
2- I've installed the 15 seconds adb ver 1.43. As it is recommanded, I force install of drivers to "Android ADB interface" for recovery mode and "Android Bootloader Interface" for fastboot mode. At this time, adb detects the device via "c:\adb> adb devices"
3-I've extracted the "boot.img" from UL-ASUS Z00E-WW-12 8 5 106-user.zip from Asus Website
4-No problem to proceed with "c:\adb> fastboot boot boot.img" BUT that's all.
--> The device boots, passes the ASUS logo with the powered by android at the bottom", arrives to the second ASUS logo (the one animated), then there are messages "Android upgrading, optimising 1 of 1 app", "Starting apps", then it reboots, and bootloops .... again and again. I have to take out the battery to turn it off.
Have you tried downloading the full ROM image from the ASUS support website again? (yes, download again and try flashing your device again). Usually when it says something about signature verification failed, it is due to the incomplete download of the ROM image (corrupted), or that it has been modified.
Do report back the results.

I's been thinking to this ...
I've downloaded 3 times the ROM from asus website. The download procees has been interrupted because of internet problem but i was able to resume after. I've even downloaded previous version. I am able to extract the zip file to my computer without error like cooupted file or CRC..
I need to know if other persons have the same problem exactly with this ZE500KL because, i have recently done the same thing with my ZE551ML and i had no problem.
Have you tried flashing the previous updates (software versions) instead? Could be a "bogus" update.

Yes. Same problem with .172
I was been delighted when i see this TWRP for ZE500KL http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-2-laser/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-0-recovery-t3319704 and it works,
But my joy was so short.
It says that it was unable to install the ZIP file because the ZIP is for WW_PHONE, and my phone is an OMNI_ZE500KL !!! What is this ? Never heard about it before. What's weird with this AUS ZIP file !!!??

Open a thread on ZenTalk: http://www.asus.com/zentalk/
Never heard about this OMNI SKU before.
If someone else has the same exact phone with you with a different SKU (perhaps WW?), you could try asking him to backup the recovery.img on his phone for you to flash. After that, just flash recovery via fastboot and you should be good to go.

Huawei P8 Lite (ALE-L21) Unsuccesfully rooted, unbricked and now into a boot loop

Hi,
I'm all new to rooting and I got a major issue.
Here's the story.
Wanting that substratum themes, I looked up for rooting my devices
I followed this guide to unlock the bootloader, and all was fine.
Next, I followed this one for rooting, but at the "installing nexus drivers" step, my PC wasn't showing off any driver setup or something related to a driver.
I pressed Enter, despite the fact that I didn't know if I had nexus drivers properly installed, and my phone didn't want to boot up. Stuck on the boot animation, for more than 20 hours.
Next day, I came back and found this mega thread about unbricking. I followed it, and now I'm in a boot loop: my phone reboot 1-2 secs after showing the home screen, but I can still enter in fast boot mode. My phone is still unlocked and when I enter Huawei's eRecovery (by long-pressing up volume button) to try to "Download new version and recovery" it connects to my Wi-Fi, then fails.
Thanks for your patience,
Mx3_
Do I understand correctly? Do you wont root your phone ?
1 st. With method which presented, you can only root your device if you have Android 5 or lower, if you have android 6 Marshalow - you must use " Systemless ROOT"
2nd. You must upload new ROM on your device ( i have special tool for do this "srktoolHuawei" - this is a special tool for flashing every new rom on a huawei device )
3.rd." HuaweiUpdateExtractor" - this is a tool for extract new ROM ( roms for huawei, you can find in huawei webside ) - download rom for your device, extract by this tool, copy and paste inside folder of "srktoolHuawei"
Next...
Plug you device to PC by usb, go to recovery mode and if you have unblocked bootloader, should be writen:" Phone is unlocked" - > Open "srktoolHuawei", go to Command Prop and then:
- IMPORTANT !!! - you must upload files: SYSTEM, RECOVERY, CUST, BOOT - you can do this using that commands:
1. fastboot flash system system.img
2.fastboot flash boot boot.img
3.fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
4.fastboot flash cust cust.img
Reboot and system should starts correctly...
---------- Post added at 08:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 PM ----------
If you wont to root your device with SYSTEMLESSROOT method, you should do like that:
1. If you upload recovery by "srktoolHuawei" - > download TWRP recovery and upload into your device ( copy and paste TWRP img. file into this tool folder insted of traditional android recovery file, next change name from TWRP, to just recovery.img and upload using command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img )
2. Now - if you press volume + - and power together, you should have TWRP Recovery insted of Huawei Recovery, thats good...
3. Next...BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3 - upload this version of supersu into your SD card...
4. Next - go to TWRP mod, next to advanced, next to Terminal Command and write command like this:
echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu
Confirm this command and back to install ( this command means that you will install SuperSU and it will make systemless root for you )
When if you have install, then select supersu which you downloaded before and now simply flash it by TWRP, next reboot and you should installed supersu and rooted device...

Please tell me you made a back up in TWRP if you did just use the RESTORE option in TWRP if not you will have to go through the above again to get back to stock but missing out flashing the recovery partition as yours is working.
When your phone boots make a back up in TWRP before trying out anything so its easy to recover

Hello @BaronDeLucifer,
what do you mean with this? Do I need the srktool for rooting my P8 Lite?
With best regards

Lenovo K6 without OS

Hi, I already had my phone rooted and with TWRP installed, but I needed to restore my phone. First I did this trough the system, but I noted that a lot of old files still were there, and I went to TWRP and did a wipe, but selected /system and /cache, now I don't have a OS on my phone.
The phone doesn't turn off, everytime I try to power off, he turn on again, and stay on Lenovo logo. The only thing I can acess is Fastboot mode (via Power down + power), I cant acess TWRP trough the phone, but I found a .bat file, that when I'm in fastboot mode, it flashes twrp on my phone and I can acess it . The other problem is that I always get an error when trying to flash any rom. Things like Error:255 or ".zip file not valid". Tried 2 roms and nothing.
Can someone please help me? I would prefer a stock rom for Brazil, but now I just want any rom, dont even mind if it's not stock.

Error 255 is caused because you are trying to install a 64bit ROM over TWRP (32bits), you need to upgrade TWRP to 64bit, just so you will be able to install a ROM. Remember that you should use Gapps in 64bit [ARM64]
TWRP: https://dl.twrp.me/karate/twrp-3.1.1-1-karate.img
Gapps: http://opengapps.org/ (ARM64)

I already had this version of twrp, but downloaded anyway and got the same error when tring to sideload a ROM "Updater process ended with ERROR: 255" . I don't know what to do anymore, I tried with 4 different ROMs, also I searched for a method to erase the lines with asserts on "update-scripts" in META-INF, but then I got a "Invalid ZIP file" error.

Try to go back to the 32bits version and erase everything and format the data and return to the 64bit version because here I had this problem it was because of the TWRP that I was using, it was the 32bits version, after that I upgraded to the 64bits version I did not have this problem. Remembering that in the site https://dl.twrp.me/karate/ has two versions of TWRP, the version twrp-3.1.1-0-karate.img is 32bits and the version twrp-3.1.1-1-karate. img is 64bit.

MAN, the ERROR: 7 now could be solved by deleting the lines with ASSERT in "\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script".
So, thanks for helping me, the problem with 64/32bits worked. I'm really glad that this worked, had stuck for 3 days without OS, now i'm never messing with this stuff again haha.

Dont forget to reboot again into twrp - after flashing 64bit twrp . This is a step that is very important if you will not reboot your phone into twrp after flashing 64 bit twrp then , it will keep showin you the error 255.
So check that .

Use erase the data from wipe option then you will be able to install rom and g-apps.
Every time you will need password, I don't know why but after erasing data you install all files otherwise you need to erase data again and again

I Faced same problem. It's ok that your phone is in weird state for time now. And also possible to recover.
Hopefully you have adb-tool, custom-rom & gapp, twrp.img on your PC.
1) Boot your mobile in fastmode using Power ON with Volume down key for 5 sec (Lenovo log with left hand side sayinh fastboot mode)
2) Connect the mobile to PC using USB & Go to adb tool folder. Open command prompt in this folder & Execute the follow step by step execution
fastboot oem reboot-recovery
3)Wait for mobile to boot in to recovery mode with TWRP
Now need to flash custom-rom followed by gapps installion.
I) You can use pendrive with otg to flash custom-rom followed by gapps
OR
II)You can use phone storage/SD card to flash the custom-rom followed by gapps
OR
III)adb sideload command as fallow
a)In TWRP recovery on mobile, goto Adavanced->ADB Sideload & Swipe to start the sideload
Now on PC execute . Specify custom rom path inside ""
adb sideload "C:\adb\images\MyCustomROM.zip"
Have a patience to complete the operation.
Click back for Adavanced Menu again.
b) Select ADB Sideload & Swipe to start the sideload
Now on PC execute . Specify Gapp path inside ""
adb sideload "C:\adb\images\open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20180611.zip"
c)Have a patience to complete the operation.
Once complete go to TWRP Screen.
d)Now go back TWRP main menu & select wipe->format Data.
Go to Reboot->system.
How to install TWRP if no OS there
1) Boot your mobile in fastmode using Power ON with Volume down key for 5 sec (Lenovo log with left hand side sayinh fastboot mode)
2) Connect the mobile to PC using USB & Go to adb tool folder. Open command prompt in this folder & Execute the follow step by step execution
a) To check the device is connected to PC or not
fastboot oem device-info
