Phone: Asus Zenfone 2

Storage: 32Gb
Root: Used QuickRoot to gain root privileges
Bootloader: Not unlocked, at least not intentionally...
Hello dear XDA members,
I am posting this because I have quite unusual problem with my Recovery Mode.
Like everybody else here I rooted my phone to get rid of the pre-installed cra.. I mean BloatAware. After the root everything was successful and I managed to delete all the apps that I am not going to use and that I don't need. I didn't delete any of the key modules except S-KEY Cleaner if that is of some relevance.
So how all this happened?
I was looking into flashing ROM called BlissPop because Lolipop has a RAM leak and I find it quite annoying. So I started doing the steps...
I think my recovery stopped working after I installed TWRP app from Google Play store and tried to make a recovery.
I prepared all the zip folders on my phone and turned off my phone. I used Power key + Vol UP to get to the menu.
There are few of the lines missing like "Secure_Boot - ?" and "Signing - ?" which doesnt seem to be the case when I looked at other threads.
When I press power button to select Recovery Mode it just reboots and pops up the same menu. No error messages or pictures on the screen.
Dont forget that I didnt NOT unlock bootloader.
So.. Does anybody knows what is the problem and what should I do? Because I want that Blisspop so bad. To add to that I am a full time traveler at the moment and I cant afford to brick my phone as I am 35.000km away from home.
If anybody has the time and energy to explain me step by step process how to do all that + how to flash BlissPop ROM and Gapps I would sincerely appreciate it.
If I missed any relevant detail please ask and Ill try my best to answer as accurately as possible.
Thank you so much for your time.
P.S. I cant post outside link, but if you want the picture Ill send it by phone, mail, or whatever.

Hello again guys!
I think I am on the right track. I did my homework and read a lot of threads about bootloaders and recoveries. I will test it out soon and tell you guys if I managed to fix it and what did it take.
Wish me luck!

hi
i own a Z2 (d6503)
-bootloader unlocked (everything else is custom) i had rooted it previously but i think i lost the root access while updating the firmware to 4.4.4 using EMma
my problems
1. Google services are not working over wifi, but there is no problem with mobile data.
i have tried clear cache method already
2. Phone isn't turning on in recovery mode. neither manually (with buttons) nor with quickboot or PC
everywhere i found the same method: turn off, power on and wait for led to light up then press either of the volume buttons repeatedly. But the led doesnt light up
3. I have lost my DRM keys while unlocking the bootloader. (no TA backup). my bad.
what did i looose other than xreality engine? can it be recovered? how?
Please help
i am familiar with rooting and know a little more than an average user. But at the end of the day i am a noob too.
One more thing: for the new firmware is the rooting method the same?
Hi,
My best guess is you will need to reflash all stock software but I would suggest asking in the device specific q&a forum to get the best answer on what to do
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/help
Hope you get everything up and running again!

Hi there guys,
First of all grear job i've found so many assists in this forum. I have a new issue comming, see i had this android tv box and i wanted to flash a new firmware, and it went all complete, but after i rebooted it stood there: can't mount cache, and i think the reason why is that i didn't do reset factory. I have tried so hard from recovery mode to wipe data/cache/ and media but no success at all. I think that the tv box is bricked now and it does not function nor accept anything. The tv box is : geniatech atv310b, with an arm cortex a9 processor, 1gb rom. You are more than welcome to flood me with your ideas, and inform me so that i will try every option to fix this issue.
Thank you in advance for participating,
Rizvan,

I did also shoot a picture so that it might be clearer for you. Any help guys ?
I recently bought an unlocked att htc one m7 and am currently using it on tmobile. After messing with the apn settings i got all the data and mms working, but i still cant figure out how to upgrade it. I downloaded the RUU from htc and tried running that but whenever it starts up the bootloader i will get an error and it will say usb malfunction and then nothing. I also tried to load the rom itself onto the phones root, but when i boot in recovery mode i will select to flash from internal and it will quickly load a few short lines of code that go too fast to read (i think it says failed) and then reboot instantly. Ive been at this for hours and cant find this particular problem anywhere. If anyone can help me, i just want the normal unmodded updates without unlocking my bootloader or turning s-off. Im running android 4.1.2 currently

Hi smart guy,
have you already asked the same question here?
Please avoid double posting.
As there is not much about your exact device on xda (I found only this rooting thread: [ROOT/GUIDE] Zest T1-G46 by ka13b), the place where you ave asked in the first place is the right one.
Just give the other smart guy a little bit more time to read and hopefully answer your question.
BTW ... no chance to contact the official support of the manufacturer from where you have installed the update?
Thanks for your understanding. Thread closed.
Hi sorry to ask such noob questions but I have just purchased my first Samsung device the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime SM-S820L Straight Talk and I am trying to figure out how to create or get a copy of a stock recovery image it is my understanding that this model is fairly new so there is not much around specific to his model of phone and I have only manged to find a handful of posts on this device, what I need to do is make a stock recovery img then root then install xposed framework so that I can change the "Rom Status" on my phone back to "official" after root changes it to "custom" so that I can still recieve the OTA lollipop update when it is sent out, but to do this I need a recovery first in case any issues arrive any help with this would be greatly appreciated as I have been researching this whole thing for days to no avail and would really like to get this done, thanks so much for your help in advance and again sorry for the noobish post.
