This isn't working with KK UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.20.40.13-user ROM. It won't start at all with any volume buttons held since running your script. Seems to have impacted existing recovery too.

But phone is still working and adb reboot-bootloader still brings up DroidBoot.

The script flashed by off the screen in no time repeating a short message several times. I don't intend to try again. I get "USB device not recognized" from Windows if and when I attempt to start it with Vol- + power and it is plugged into PC.

Wait, I will try and root it again as it now shows no evidence of rooting.

I tried again, but with CWM. The rooting was present but not "seeing" /system and its contents so I chmod'd manually with ESFileExplorer, which satisfied their install.bat script. Your script appears nearly identical.

I've checked after rebooting and the permissions are all set as they should be. Problem is vol- + power seems a no-op although I suspect something is appearing (invisibly) because it needs a power down before it powers up again.

Same to me with every recover version I tried to install.. If i boot in recovery i see a black screen with an android robot with a danger triangle and a text that says "no command "... How can I back to stock recovery?
You can download the same firmware you were running in ur device. And extract stock recovery . Then flash it via fastboot..
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
place the recovery.img in same folder where fastboot.exe exists. Best Of Luck

Can I see a recovery log file? I'd like to try to compile a 2.7.1 version of TWRP, using shakalaca's device tree over at Github. Thanks.
Did you compiled twrp ? Does it worked?

For those who are using this at newer firmware and the TWRP won't boot, I think because of difference in kernel with the boot.img. I maybe wrong though. I used to compile and port CWM and TWRP to MTK devices. This device is different and have not tried it myself as of now. For those who know how to unpack the images, try unpacking both the TWRP image and the stock (latest) recovery image. Replace the kernel of the TWRP with the latest kernel of the stock TWRP. Also compare the fstab for any differences in mount points. Then repack it and flash it using fastboot (easiest way to flash recovery images). Note that before flashing, check the size of the image it it's close to the size of the stock recovery image. It may do permanent damage to your phone if the image size is too large. If i get a chance, I will try to compile latest TWRP or Phil's for different variants of zenfones. ;)

Help!

I did not find the file in the folder system. What do I do?

TWRP v2.6.3.0

Requirement
"Rooted phone"
"Computer" (I used Windows)

How to Install

**Download the attached zip file on your computer and extract it.

1. Turn OFF USB Debugging.
2. Connect the phone to the computer.
3. Open 'install.bat' on the extracted folder on your computer.
4. You'll see 'adb wait-for-device' in command window on your computer.
5. Now turn on USB Debugging, you'll get a promt on your phone asking to allow the computer. Tap OK.
6. Now you'll again get a prompt, this time from Superuser asking for ADB shell access. Allow it.
7. Now wait some seconds. The phone will restart.
8. Unplug USB cable from phone. Done!!

9. Once the phone is turned on, reboot your phone.
10. Keep eyes on the notification LED. When the LED is Red, keep holding VOLUME DOWN button.

Now your're in TWRP :)



##TWRP is a bit laggy, but works perfect :)


If not working

Use any Root Explorer on your phone to go to the folder "system"
and rename the file recovery-from-boot.p to recovery-from-boot.bak

or just move the file to SDcard. :)

Hit the Thanks button if it worked, bros.
And comment below if there's any problem.
