Для этого выключаем телефон и переводим его в режим прошивки (recovery), включить держа кнопки Power + Volume Up, после двойной вибрации отпустить Power, продолжая удерживать Volume Up до тех пор пока не появится изображение робота.
Подключаем телефон к ПК при помощи комплектного USB кабеля.
1. Открываем командную строку на компьютере. Заходим в папку куда распаковали архив, нажимаем Shift и правая кнопка мыши — Открыть окно команд
2. Далее прошиваем в смартфон наше кастомное рекавери (Recovery) — в командной строке вводим
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
3. После прошивки выбираем Recovery кнопками громкость
Нажимаем кнопку питания. Ждем 5-10 секунд. После появления первого робота — ждем. Как появится маленький робот
— Входим в рекавери —
держать кнопку питание + кратковременное нажатие увеличение громкости
Должно быть так —
4. После того как мы попали в кастомное ( и теперь уже основное) рекавери делаем «Factory Reset» то есть делаем полный сброс телефона.
5. После сброса на телефоне выбираем пункт — apply update from ADB, выбор подтверждаем кнопкой питания.
6. Далее вводим на ПК в командную строку команду — adb sideload f24.zip — нажимаем Enter
После чего должен запустится процесс прошивки смартфона Asus ZenFone 2.
Прошивка ставится значительное время, около 10-13 минут. После прошивки нажимаем Reboot.
Телефон перезагрузится с новой прошивкой, обычно первая загрузка щанимает больше времени.

Что ж, это должно поднять настроение обладателям новенькой новинки. Asus Zenfone 2 — Восстановление ClockworkMod, также известное как CWM, теперь доступен для их устройства, но не как постоянная установка. Вы загрузитесь в CWM recovery сразу после установки, но как только вы выйдете из режима восстановления, он будет автоматически удален с телефона. Но в любом случае это дает возможность корень ваш Zenfone 2 довольно легко, независимо от того, какая у вас прошивка, без необходимости установки данной прошивки с предварительным рутированием.
И знаете что, установка CWM recovery тоже чертовски проста. Вам просто нужно загрузить необходимые материалы, запустить только один файл и выполнить два небольших шага, и вскоре вы перейдете в режим восстановления CWM.
Вы должны поблагодарить пользователя XDA за это, который передал это Zenfone 2, используя оригинальную работу другого пользователя, социальные концепции дизайна, на телефонах Intel с заблокированными загрузчиками. И конечно же, Chainfire, для файла SuperSU.
С помощью восстановления CWM на вашем Zenfone 2 вы также можете создать резервную копию nandroid, от чего мы очень зависим. Это особенность спасения при кастомном восстановлении, будь то CWM или TWRP. Пока нет новостей о TWRP для Zenfone 2, мы очень надеемся, что он появится на устройстве. Но нет ETA!
Очевидно, что установка восстановления CWM на Zenfone 2 дает множество преимуществ, и главная из них — root. За исключением прошивки с предварительно установленным рут-рутом, которая зависит от региона, хорошего корневого решения нет. Но с доступностью восстановления CWM вы можете прошить корневой пакет Chainfire SuperSU на своем Zenfone 2, чтобы получить root-права, и это также является лучшим корневым решением, благодаря ClockworkMod recovery.

Magisk keeps uninstalling
Q: During the past 4 days I had to re-install Magisk 16.3 at least 4 times a day. Because it keeps uninstalling itself. I have previously experienced this issue with Magisk, but it has gotten worse instead of being solved.
A: After uninstalling, you can try flashing the stock boot image from your ROM/firmware package/factory image.
Process error
A “process error” when installing Magisk is usually caused when the app doesn’t have storage permission. So you can fix it by clearing app data.
MagiskHide or SafetyNet fails after an update
If MagiskHide or SafetyNet starts failing after an update to either Magisk, the app, or both you can fix it by toggling MagiskHide off and on (also see ”Test MagiskHide”).
Magisk isn’t working
If you can boot up, but Magisk isn’t working as expected (not detecting the Magisk installation, loss of root, etc), there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try.
- First, Reboot. Sometimes this helps Magisk to mount everything as it should.
- Try removing any installed modules. So that you can see if it’s a faulty module causing issues.
- If that seems to fix it, just install the modules one at a time to find which one causes issues.
- If nothing else works, try starting from the very beginning with a new installation.
- check here: “Asking for help/reporting bugs”.

Q: I completely unrooted my mobile a few days back. But still, many apps say that the device is rooted. Thereafter I rooted my device using Magisk HIDE. Please help me!
A: If your bootloader is unlocked, they will report your device as a rooted device. According to your description, Magisk Hide alone has failed to do the job. I suggest you try the “Repackage Magisk Manager” option in the Magisk Manager settings. It worked for me.

Then the phone rebooted and stuck into the phone logo with the red danger logo. I tried flashing Magisk again via Temp TWRP, but now a few apps keep crashing. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling them. But couldn’t fix it. Can you help me?
A: If your phone is stuck in the boot loop or apps still crashing, then you have to wipe the Dalvik cache again. If you still need to unroot for whatever reason you can try this:
- update magisk first and then clicking uninstall from Magisk manager.
- manually flash uninstaller.zip from TWRP.
- flash the uninstaller as a module as stated in this post.
