Either you might have not given permission for adb interface or you dont have proper usb drivers
For giving permissions go to developer options n click on revoke devices(something like this)
Now again connect it to pc n open cmd then type adb devices n there will be a pop up on your phone screen asking for permission
Tick always allow for this computer n click yes
Inside the file UL_ASUS_T00F_WW_1_18_40_10.zip there's another zip file, extract and flash that.
i did everytin as instructed bro..... bt i cant gt my device listed.... so if it wrked fr u pls.... i beg u to make an tutorial yaar..... pls...... or atleast try to help me
---------- Post added at 04:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 PM ----------
actually it is not detecting my dvice also.... so pls help me bro .... :'(
Bro theres nothing in that to make a tutorial
Re-install all the drivers
Asus USB drivers , intel mobile usb drivers , adb n fastboot drivers
Aftet installing restart you pc once
Before connecting device go to developer options n click revoke devices as i said in earlier post
Allow permission for the pop up n tick on remember my choice
Thats it
If you are on windows 8 then google out compatibility issues of intel usb drivers
Can anyone tell me.. how can i get back original OS in my mobile..
Bcoz i can't handle recovery or other technical problems..
So how can I fully Restore Factory Data and settings in mobile...

WARNING: this method of rootingvoids your phone's warranty
because you can flash system as usual and as it used to be, so don't worry
root with your own risk
this method works for WW SKU(i don't know about other SKU images but you can always give a try if you are on other SKU)
here am posting two methods of rooting
whatever the method it is , all we need is our zenfone 5 to be rooted. right??
one is root process by shakalaca and you can find his post here(use google translate in his page)(you can find the english translated here in the end of this post)
the second process is here as i posted below
make sure you have adb n fastboot drivers, intel mobile usb drivers, asus usb drivers
usb debugging must be turned on(settings-->developer options)
to get developer options goto settings-->about-->build number(tap on it 7times) now go back n u will find developers options
first of all download the bootloader.zip attached below
download SuperSU flashable zip attached below and place this UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip file into your internal storage(lets flash it later why so hurry?)
extract the bootloader.zip and place the extracted files in your adb or fastboot folder(or simply place them in c:\users\xxx )
turn on the usb debugging option(settings-->developer options-->usb debugging)
connect your zenfone 5 to your windows pc
open command prompt on your computer and run these following commands
adb devices(you will see your device serial number)
adb reboot-bootloader(now your device will boot(startup) in droidboot menu
fastboot flash dnx dnx_fwr_ctp_a500cg.bin
fastboot flash ifwi ifwi_ctp_a500cg_unlock.bin
now your bootloader is unlocked so that we can flash custom recovery
best part: it is unofficial bootloader unlocking and when you update the next firmware via OTA the bootloader relocks by itself(yep you will receive OTA updates even after this)
my bootloader relocked after OTA update ofV2.19.40.18 n it relocked my bootloader
now i hope u unlocked your bootloader
download this recovery recovery_philz_t00f.tar(attached below)
extract it and you wil find the recovery_philz_t00f.img file
place that recovery in your fastboot folder and run these following commands
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot devices (just to make sure your device is connected)
fastboot flash recovery recovery_philz_t00f.img
give it time to write the recovery( takes 3-4 seconds)
now that you have philz recovery
now run this command
fastboot reboot-bootloader
now your Zenfone reboots to bootloader menu and select recovery option by scrolling down(use volume-) and select( use power button)
u can disconnect your device now and u are in recovery
the recovery is a little bit laggy but works fine
select the option install zip from sd card
select the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip file that u placed in your internal storage earlier
now you have options to say yes or no.. select yes and let the recovery flash SuperSU
I hope u have flashed successfully
now opt for reboot system now
guess what your ZenFone is rooted Buddy
check it using any root checker app or install any root related app or you can check that SuperSU is working without any error
screenshots????
well attached below for proof
Want to relock the bootloader??
i suggest you not to relock the bootloader coz the OTA update relocks the bootloader automatically
still want to relock bootloader?
read below posts before relocking the bootloader because some members faced problems
here you go
refer to this link
http://www.asuszenfoneblog.com/2014/09/how-to-relock-bootloader-on-asus-zenfone.html
Stuck at USB logo????
WELCOME BACK
here is the solution:
flash this modified stock recovery https://www.dropbox.com/s/xvauuk0tzid1o3i/1.18.40.9_ww_recovery.img?dl=0 in droidboot menu
fastboot flash recovery <filename>.img (filename can be anything or the name of recovery you downloaded from above)
download the last JB update package V1.18.40.10
now goto recovery n wipe data/cache
then sideload the JB update package V1.18.40.10(how to sideload????? explained below)
it will work for sure
after updating wipe data n cache again
now reboot system n go through initial setup n everything will be fine
well you will be on JB now but if you want Kitkat then sideload the Kitkat update package
and follow the root process from the beginning
finally i suggest you not to relock the bootloader because when you sideload the update it will relock the bootloader)
OTA updates are available after rooting by this process
yes OTA updates are still available(even if the bootloader is unlocked)
image attached below to show ota update
i got OTA update of 2.19.40.18_20141003_8008 release-keys and downloaded it n updated successfully without any issues
if you can't find OTA update from your ZenFone 5 then download the update package from asus website
whenever you get OTA update check for ASUS website and download the package from there
here is the link to asus website for downloading future updates http://www.asus.com/in/Tablets_Mobile/ZenFone_5_A500CG/HelpDesk_Download/
there just click on select OS and select android and then you will find the update packages
after downloading the package extract it and u will fing another zip of name like UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.19.XX.X-user.zip
place that .zip file in your internal storage and the system detects it as update file and notifies you whether to update
if it fails then sideload the update via ADB
applying OTA updates via adb
Just download the package from the ASUS website stated above(click on the link)
place the package UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.19.XX.X-user.zip to your adb or fastboot folder
now enter into droidboot menu(power off your phone and hold power button+volume up till you see droidboot menu) of your Zenfone 5 and connect it to your PC
now scroll down(use volume keys) to recovery and select it(use power key) and your phone will boot to recovery
now that you are in recovery(you can see a droid symbol lying down with red triangle over its stomach)
press n keep holding volume down button, press volume up button(press vol+ button while still vol- button holding)
now you will see recovery commands
scroll to apply update from ADB
now open the command prompt on your PC and type this following command
adb sideload UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.19.XX.X-user.zip
now wait for the process to complete till 100%
now the system update starts and HURRAY you just updated the firmware successfully
(if you have installed xposed framework or Lucky Patcher then you have to follow these steps before updating 2.19.40.18_20141003_8008 release-keys)
for those who have xposed installed on Zenfone 5 the latest update will fail
but here is the solution for that
open the .zip package of firmware you have present on your Zenfone 5
for example the UL-ASUS_T00F-ww-V2.19.40.6-user.zip
open it using winrar and navigate to system/framework
find the files core.odex
core.jar
services.jar
services.odex
drag them out on your desktop
now copy them into your internal storage
now use a file manager like ROOT EXPLORER and navigate to /system/framework
delete the core.odex
core.jar
services.jar
services.odex files because these are patched by xposed framework and wont let the system to update
now after deleting the patched files
move the files
core.odex
core.jar
services.jar
services.odex files you dragged from zip package and pasted in your internal storage to the folder/system/framework and change the permission to like this rw-r--r--
image attached below
for all the four file(now you restored all the system actual files)
now update it using OTA or by ADB SIDELOAD it wont give you any error
i did this and i updated sucessfully
you will lose root access for the first boot but dont worry
reboot your device again and you will get back the root access
happy updating
root process by shakalaca
enable USB DEBUGGING in settings-->developer options
now download this package root by shakalaca and open in your windows pc
extract it and connect your Zenfone to pc in normal mode
do not remove or unplug your zenfone during this process
now double the root-zenfone-5-ww.bat(select tw if your SKU is TW or CHT if its CHT SKU)
follow instructions
now sit back and relax
dont panic during this process your zenfone reboots many times(like 6 times i guess)
and when it says finished just look out for SuperSU in your App Drawer
and yes you are rooted
sorry for grammatical errors(if any)2to relock the bootloader
Extract the recovery.img,fastboot.img and boot.img from the update package and flash them using fastboot commands
it ensures that all system files are flashed back before relocking the bootloader
if you done all above then refer to this link
http://www.asuszenfoneblog.com/2014/09/how-to-relock-bootloader-on-asus-zenfone.html
or here it is
drag out the ifwi.zip file from the update package like UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.19.40.10-user.zip
from the ifwi.zip file drag dnx_fwr_ctp_a500cg.bin and drag out ifwi_ctp_a500cg.bin
then open your command prompt and run the following commands
fastboot flash dnx dnx_fwr_ctp_a500cg.bin
fastboot flash ifwi ifwi_ctp_a500cg.bin
fastboot reboot-bootloader
It relocks your bootloader
Sent from my ASUS_T00J using XDA Premium 4 mobile app22
