i don't have custom recovery installed.
and i don't have a memory card.
what i need to do if i want to install odexed rom install.
does custom recovery installation involves rooting phone?
is it not possible to flash unrooted phones?
update:
i did
fastboot flash boot boot.img
from the boot.img file from odexed rom zip.
Is my warranty still intact?
what i did by flashing the boot partition?
boot.img is only 8 MB what is the other content present in the rom zip file and how its used?
thanks,

OK I'll spend some time here so you can understand. Warranty can be checked in most phones with locked bootloaders . ours is not locked. Bootloader locked means no change can be made unofficially by us.
The only way they can find warranty on our phone is if you use official root method.
For this purpose we have unofficial root method.
Now about partitions. /boot is the kernel. Its like drivers for your hardware.
/system is the os. It is either rooted or unrooted like in windows having admin account or normal account.
You can either use an OS which has already admin account by using a rooted ROM or you can use a limited unrooted ROM and then root it thereby making it an admin account.
Now recovery is a mini OS which will help you to recover your OS in case something is wrong. Stock recovery has limited options and allows only official updates. Custom recovery has more options and allows unofficial updates like our prerooted already admin OS/ROM.
Finally fast boot is like your Intel BIOS. Whatever happens as long as it is working you're saved. All other things like recovery, boot, system can be modified from here.
Now you flashed boot.img using fast boot and if you got a success message you're good. Use a recovery image in one of the xolo play threads and flash it using the instructions provided there.
This is required for you to install ROM.
Finally, don't worry about warranty. In case you ever need warranty, follow instructions in my ROM post about warranty. Where you can flash the ROM and recovery that came with the phone. So no worries and good luck.
Edit: for you, since you're so worried, simply install cwm recovery, then install stock odexed ROM, install build.prop.zip then reinstall stock recovery and you're like how u purchased the phone.

Ok
First I recommend you to unlock your bootloader.
So if you are in bootloader and your device is not recognised I think it´s a driver issue.
If you allready checked it check it once more or update your tools (ADB, fastboot)
If nothing helps you could go to recovery and format your device (not only wipe format) should be clear that all data on device is lost.
Try different recoverys some people report that philz also works fine on M_4. (try install new rom option on philz).
DONT flash stock sense 6 ROM (wrong partition layout for this hboot) with this hboot rather take 5.5.
I´m sorry but without get connectet via ADB or fastboot I think there is no chance to get it working again.

I tell you in short terms:
If you can´t get a fastboot connection to your device it looks very bad to bring your device back.
For wiping something you need recovery for flashing new recovery you need fastboot.
For flashing a new firmware to fix messed up partitions you need fastboot.
And first of all to unlock your bootloader you need fastboot.
You see all ends up with fastboot.
As what the device is shown in the manager of windows?
Better to use Windows 7 there are much driver problems people reporting on win 8

Ok, I will use a win 7 pc and let you know

If you have a connection via fastboot you first have to decide what ROM you want, search for the matching firmware.
for example flash the latest firmware for M_4... 4.09.401.3 from here (new partition layout for e.g. sense 6):
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzCFBBNdXagdcEMybkdBME5iUE0/edit
After that flash TWRP 2.7.1.1 or philz and format all you have to try one of this recoverys should work.
Next push or sideload a ROM via adb I recommend you one them:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...-official-stock-sense-6-rom-firmware-t2817921
You can decide what you want rooted or not it doesn´t matter.
After installing with succsess try to reboot that´s it.

I encountered a similar issue when playing around with returning my device to stock. I flashed stock recovery, then re-locked my bootloader. What is the downloading screen you're seeing? Is it the stock recovery screen?
To fix, i had to change CID back to stock (for me that was, CWS__001)
Unlock bootloader again, using HTC unlock.bin (unlock.bin wouldn't work when i was on super cid)
Flash custom recovery TWRP 2.6.3.0 (I'm not sure if 2.7.1.1 works with the old partition layout, so i used this version until i had upgraded to hboot 2.22, then I flashed 2.7.1.1. This may be an unnecessary step, but it always worked for me)
Once twrp was working again...
Flash stock hboot 2.22 found in the dev section
Flash TWRP 2.7.1.1 (again, might be an unnecessary step)
Boot to recovery
From TWRP, adb push the sense 6 rom i wanted to flash (IC 3.07 in my case)
After the push completed, flash ROM and reboot and all was good
As you can see, the steps i took require that fastboot and adb drivers work flawlessly, especially when pushing ROM to the device using abd.
If any of this seems unfamiliar, then don't do these steps. Again, this is just what i did when i flashed stock recovery and re-locked bootloader with a ROM that wouldn't boot.

Did you get fastboot working yet? Does "fastboot devices" show your device? You can't do anything until fastboot works...but I imagine it worked at some point, since you unlocked and re-locked your device.
You can't install recovery because your bootloader is locked. And you can't unlock your bootloader until you change your CID back to whatever it was when you created the unlock.bin file on the HTC website.
Are you getting this error when you attempt to unlock?
FAILED (remote: unlock token check failed)

That's what i had to do when i first tried to root my phone. I was on Windows 7, but it was an old install and had all kinds of software on it that might have been preventing usb from working (iTunes, HTC Sync, some other random software, etc.) Sometimes, I would even have trouble connecting an external HD!
I ended up installing a clean copy of XP on an old computer that i now use strictly for flashing stuff to my phone.

I don't think OTA will work on unlocked/tampered device with custom recovery.I think you need to run ruu.exe if one is available for you to get 100% stock before OTA will work again.

Step 2
After performing steps in guide your phone should boot up
Then you need to repeat flashing, but now in upgrade mode
This step is necessary to fix incorrect internal storage size after flashing in fastboot

[need help] asus zc520kl [x00hd] any working rom with twrp

Update/Solved:
Currently the only way for people who deleted their OS completely in this phone model X00HD/ZC520KL is to restore the official firmware.
You can ask for a backup recovery folder in XDA Forums ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/zen...help?nocache=1) if you do not have made a backup with people who have the same phone model. You must have TWRP previously installed and bootloader unlocked. Flashing the official firmware via .zip files is not working with twrp, you must restore the folder. After having the files needed, your recovery folder will not appear on the RESTORE section so follow this simple tutorial to make it appear there (https://youtu.be/trlG3ZxwQxI)
This method will bring your phone back to life if you're stuck in TWRP Recovery Mode with "No OS installed". This method is working and it's the only way for you to use your phone again until developers create custom ROM's for this model.
DEVICE INFO:
ASUS ZENFONE 4 MAX ZC520KL [X00HD]

Please, can anyone reply? I need an answer. Thanks for your time.

Plus I also tried to delete the assert line in the uptader-script of the ROM you gave me the link after learning from a tutorial how to solve Error Number 7 and after that I got another error: Invalid Zip Format. I don't know what do to more, is this ROM link really compatible with my device? I need urgent help.

Sometimes when I force an installation editing the uptader-script file it seems everything is working fine, but at the end of the ROM flash process the phone reboots and goes back to TWRP like everything had never happened. I have never seen a successful feedback, just the "Failed" message or a unexpected reboot that goes back to TWRP.
I don't know what do you mean with unlocking bootloader as I have no ROM installed and always I turn ON my phone I go to TWRP automatically. My TWRP version is 3.1.1.

Hello, I tried your solution. It did not work. I keep getting Error Number 7 when flashing the ROM. Plus I also tried to delete the assert line in the uptader-script of the ROM you gave me the link after learning from a tutorial how to solve Error Number 7 and after that I got another error: Invalid Zip Format. I don't know what do to more, is this ROM link really compatible with my device? I need urgent help.

Not working, as I said before, I've already tried to solve this Error. Either 3 things happen: the installation seems to be running good but at some point the device automatically reboots to it's original condition of TWRP (Liniage OS flash and after editing the file to solve Error Number 7 + I get a message saying "Invalid zip format" (Official Asus Firmware flash after editing the file to solve Error Number 7) + I get Error Number 7.

Backup ROM
Hi, I have the same model and I have TWRP as well. I think I can make backup of my ROM an upload it so you can install it on your phone, would that work for you?

Hello @pantarz, yes, give me your backup ROM you have in your phone, it should work on mine. I'm really thankful to see people like this these days. Just need the .zip file for the ROM. Thanks in advance.

Currently the only way for people who deleted their OS completely in this phone model X00HD/ZC520KL is to restore the official firmware.
You can ask for a backup recovery folder in XDA Forums ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-4-max/help?nocache=1) if you do not have made a backup. You must have TWRP previously installed and bootloader unlocked. Flashing the official firmware via .zip files is not working with twrp, you must restore the folder. Your recovery folder will not appear on the RESTORE section so follow this simple tutorial to make it appear there (https://youtu.be/trlG3ZxwQxI)
This method will bring your phone back to live if you're stuck in TWRP Recovery Mode with "No OS installed". This method is working and it's the only way for you to use your phone again until developers create custom ROM's for this model.

Hi @ANDROIDMASTER67, @pantarz I also break my phone ZC520KL ( X00HD ). It shows "no os installed" and "error 7" when I try to install a ROM.
Can you please help me fix my phone? If there is a backup that I can get please let me know.
Many thanks in advance.

I've managed to fix it by doing the following:
Copy the original recovery from a firmware package.
I could find one in the file https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11050483647474829889, location /Asus_Zenfone_4_Max_ZC520KL_20171225/Firmware/recovery.img
Load default recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery/original-recovery.img
Restart to bootloader
fastboot reboot bootloader
Load flashboot mode
choose the option "update using adb"
ensure that adb can locate devices with
adb devices
load firmware with
adb sideload UL-ASUS_X00HD-WW-14.2016.1805.374-user.zip ( try download from: https://www.beritahuaja.com/2018/11/download-stock-rom-asus-zenfone-4-max-zc520kl.html )

Easy way with only fastboot
1. Get adb and fastboot drivers
2. go to this page h ttps://addrom.com/raw-rom-for-asus-zenfone-4-max-zc520kl/ Dowload the original firware
3. Extract the files inside the your disc C:Adb
4. Go to your celphone and enter in fastboot mode... then conect the celphone to your computer ... then use cmd " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" .. this is for restore the original recovery if you have twrp.. if you dont have it , its no neccesary ..
5. in fastboot mode , go to Inside the firware search flashall_AFT.bat , double clik , wait until finish
6. go to recovery mode wipe/factory reset and tadaaaa! Your Os is restore again :bueno:

Apparently it is an issue of the operator that I do not have the update yet.
I went back to 8.0 while I find out what happened to the ota.
And if it comes out I'll capture it.

well, finally, i have android 9.
but, i cant flash the patched boot
:c failed: unknown command

Well, I managed to root.
I got the OTA in a Russian forum.
After a couple of failed attempts, I managed to figure out how to mount the OTA.
Then, not working or rooting, and realize that the bootloader was not unlocked, I repeated all the steps.
I noticed that I am subnormal, and that the code I was using to unlock was not correct (several months to realize this).
Anyway, go down to 7.1, unlock the bootloader, flash to 8.1 (4.42) (orange state up)
I mounted OTA 5.20 through recovery
I did the steps in the post, and finally I have Pie with root
Orange State continues, but I will not block the bootloader again
