Oh I forgot. That's WW Version
Need to restart your phone from Fastboot and you need adb on your computer.
Here's the code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If you unlock the bootloader before the nougat. You can Install Nougat but it will autoshutdown the unit because the Boot.img and Recovery.img is still in Marsmallow OS.

Hi dude, i have installed the Nougat version this morning and my phone is turning off after 10sec after power on. I have never unlocked the bootloader before. I have tried your above solution but still having the same issue. Can you pls help me ?
Note : Problem solved ; i've downloaded and installed again the official Nougat from Asus web site and it works. Later I have unlocked bootloader and rooted my phone but now is got the dm-verity warning again but this time in orange but it can boot and work properly. I'm looking for a way to get rid of the dm-verity warning at all.

Thank you in advance for your help and support

Hi, I need some help.
I have ze520kl with WW_14.2020.1706.53 and twrp. Can I flash boot+recovery(from OP) and after it install update.zip(the same version - Z017D_WW_14.2015.1701.8 downloaded from asus)?
Need something more to do?

Dear all,

Hi everyone!
I have a Zenfone 3 operator branded (TIM).
I am still on Marshmallow with Locked Bootloader.
Can I use these ADB commands to overwrite my actual Stock Recovery and gain the WW Nougat Recovery?
Then I would enter the recovery to install the same WW Nougat ASUS ROM version.
In this way would I obtain to debrand my phone and get Nougat in one shot?
Can this be done with Locked Bootloader?
Thank You!

Links are down, please refresh

It works!
I just want to confirm to those who are wondering that installing the recovery and boot images along with the firmware from the Asus website works fine. Just make sure that you get the firmware that has the same version with the recovery+boot that the OP uploaded which is 14.2015.1701.8.
Phone hasn't shut down or rebooted on its own so there shouldn't be any worries as long as you do all the steps right.
Edit: I did this on a ZE520KL btw.

Don't worry about it. International unlocked version doesn't have that option. Just go ahead and flash twrp and then whatever you want.

No need to Unlock Bootloader, International Devices comes with Unlocked Bootloader. So flash twrp through odin and supersu through twrp or any custom kernel.
So make sure after you flash twrp through odin, flash supersu or custom kernel or else device will be stuck in bootloop

The title of this post : OEM unlock option missing in s6 nougat G920i(india)
@kakabakk20 that device is G920I (LATAM, Singapore, India, Australia) its not Global device... and yes its country speific!
Global device is G920F!
Look under the variants of S6 flat screen.
Versions: G9200 (Hong Kong), G9208 (China), G9208/SS (China), G9209 (China), G920A (AT&T), G920F (Global), G920FD (Pakistan, Philippines), G920I (LATAM, Singapore, India, Australia), G920S (Korea), G920T (T-Mobile)

the bracket in which i wrote india was just to tell people in which country i am using.. i am not trying to encapsulate all the countries which are using G920I.....(i think so you took me wrong there by country specific i just meant india... so technically i am correct).. thanks for your help but my problem was solved after the first two answers only!

Sorry about that, but once you have flashed twrp through odin. You have to flash supersu or magisk else device will go in bootloop.
As you have installed a custom recovery, so as per what i know it wont let the boot.img to load and goes into bootloop.
So after flashing twrp in odin, the next step you need to do is flash supersu or magisk any one of these as per you choice.
Then your good to go and boot.img will be able to load and no more bootloops.

Download twrp from here https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxys6.html
Better use supersu, not a big fan of magisk though.
If its not uninstalling magisk, flash boot and recovery file in odin.
So this clears magisk from system or you can do is clear cache/dalvik cache/data all these 3 options to get rid of magisk but it will reset you device but your files wont be deleted, but it will factory reset your device.

[Discussion] Proper way to root after LineageOS installed

What would you say is the best way to have root on a V20 with LineageOS ?
On one hand, there is SuperSU, which is just a matter of flashing a zip, and is the way everyone used to do it. On the official Lineage site, they have SuperSU for download (in the Extras section), which suggests it's the recommended way. However, the the zip is named "addonsu-16.0-arm64-signed.zip", and the version date is 2019-07-09 - This suggests it might be incompatible with Lineage 17.1 (anyone tried it?). Another issue, I recently heard SuperSU is closed-sourced and was even sold to some company not long ago. That's a big red flag. I never imagined that was the case when I was rooting phones.
On the other hand, I see Magisk becoming prominent, but it gives me some worries. First it's labelled as "systemless root", that hides the fact that the phone is rooted in some weird way. Personally, I don't need any of those shenanigans, I'm fully degoogled. Second, it seams you install it by patching the boot partition? Sounds like a bad idea...
Third, the latest version (v 22.0) seams to have made big changes. I was reading the updated official install guide and idk if the "Custom Recovery" method will do the same as patching boot or not. See here: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
What is your take on this? How did you root your V20 and why? Do you know of other alternatives?

И Magisk, и приложение, и программа удаления теперь представляют собой один файл (три в одном).
Если вам нужно установить apk, установите apk.
Если вам нужно прошить Magisk в TWRP, поменяйте расширение с *. apk в * .zip и прошиваем.
Если нужно удалить Magick через деинсталлятор из TWRP, переименуйте файл в «uninstall.zip» и прошейте.

Hey. What GSI can be flashed without unlocking the bootloader? Can I flash a GSI that is signed by Google?

I read that it is possible to run OEM-signed GSI

To enable flashing a ROM always requires bootloader is unlocked.

Even the built-in DSU Loader (which does pull Google-signed GSIs) is known to bootloop some devices, and with a locked bootloader, such failure can be unrecoverable. Just forget about it.

AndyYan said:
Известно, что даже встроенный загрузчик DSU (который загружает подписанные Google GSI) загружает некоторые устройства, а с заблокированным загрузчиком такой сбой может быть неустраним. Просто забудь об этом.

Thanks for the answer. But after all, an OEM-signed GSI can be launched?
