Steps to flash the ROM:-

NOTE:- 1.These steps are applicable for the users
who are on Marshmallow custom ROMs like CM13.1,RR,AOKP,XOSP,AICP,etc.
and want to roll back to stock...and for lollipop users too(obviously).
2.Kitkat Users, Untested, Please Give Feedback.
3.Unlock bootloader is required.

A.Unlock the bootloader and flash twrp (Skip this step if already done).
B. VRY IMPORTANT STEP, DELETE '"ANDROID" FOLDER FROM INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL STORAGE TO AVOID FORCE CLOSES
(AND EVEN HOT REBOOTS AT TIMES).
1.Put the necessary files in your EXTERNAL SDCARD
2.Reboot to recovery and wipe system, cache, dalvik cache and data.
3.[IMPORTANT STEP] After wiping all the partitions, go to 'Reboot" option and select 'REBOOT RECOVERY".
4.Once rebooted into recovery again, then navigate the zips and flash it.
(NOTE:-Flash in this order:-

1. ROM
2. OpenGapps
3. SuperSU
4. Then Xposed (optional, leave it if u don't use it).

Please follow this sequence ,flash supersu only after flashing rom and gapps, else you will get a lot of force closes.Also flash xposed Only after supersu.)

5.After completing flashing process, reboot to system and WAIT to boot the system (Have patience ,DON'T try to force restart unnecessarily)..
6.Once booted, open ASUS autostart manager and allow SuperSU to autostart,
then go to SuperSU and uncheck "mount namespace seperation",check "enable multiuser" and uncheck "tapjacking protection", AND REBOOT.

IMPORTANT NOTE:- ASUS sometimes ships different devices with same models, that is why there are
unresolvable bugs like No Camera after Unlocking Bootloader.
If you are facing such issues, I will not be able to help you at all with the issues you find as my device will be different from yours.
