How to Restore ZenUI 3 after installing other custom ROMs in my Asus Zenfone 3? - General Questions and Answers

I rooted my zenfone 3 and installed LineageOS as custom rom. Now I want to have ZenUI once again and I didn't had made any backup. So How can I get my phone back as new one as bought with this root not disabled? If anyone do have custom ROMs or could someone please upload a backup of the UI? PLEASE

As far as I know, you can't flash stock firmware with TWRP on zenfone. You need stock recovery to do that.
Head to Zenfone 3 sub-forum on XDA to find more information.
Here's the link I found, hope this help you.

What is the model number of your device?
Have you tried doing a Google search for:
"Return to stock (your model number)"
If the stock firmware is available for your device, this search should find instructions, the tools and the files required to flash the stock firmware to repair the software on your device.

No, what I'm talking does not use recovery to flash anything.
No, this needs to be done using a PC and the proper tool to flash your stock firmware.
Do the Google search that I suggested, open your browser, then, in the search bar type this:
"Return to stock (your model number)"
That should find instructions and the PC program needed to flash your firmware.

You are more likely going to get help if you post in detail your issue, what exact model note you have, what custom rom and recovery you installed, what version of odin your using.

Well i have the GT-N8000 an i used ODIN 3.0.7 flashing ClockWorkMod Recovery here:
forum.xda-developers - show thread 2102677
after that i flashed CyanoGenMod ROM 10.2 Nightly ("cm-10.2-20131221-NIGHTLY-n8000.zip") Here
download.cyanogenmod.org device GT-N8000
I tried to restore splash sreen by flashing a stock ROM N8000XXCMF1_N8000PHNCMG1_PHN again... didden't work...
so any other thoughts are welcome...
The initial Samsung splash is in the kernel .
Suggest in recovery format data system cache and sdcard .
Boot to download mode flash stock rom via odin .

If a stock rom has no kernel in your view i suggest you read the faqs and guides before flashing anything ever again .
Kernel - This is always supplied with a ROM. It is the beating heart of Android. The ROM cannot function without the kernel. Since all ROMs include a kernel, if you're using a custom Kernel then flash a ROM, you will need to reflash the kernel again.

with ODIN i usually dont have any problems with flashing roms. Not where exactly the splash screen is installed...
but with a rooted rom things can go bad. Normally when you flash a rom the splash screen stays unaffected.
For some reason it was damaged. so i need to find a way to repair it... not easy ....

When you tried to flash to factory firmware did odin give you a message of pass or fail?
When you flashed to factory ROM did it actually install the factory firmware?
Have you have tried other versions of odin.......a copy of Odin3 v1.85 in attachment, if you want to try it.

What actually happens when you say the spash screen is messed up?
Does the tablet actually start? Have you tried flashing another custom touch wiz based firmware like Revolution HD or even Omni rom?

[Guide][Receive OTA after root][keep apps/data][GT-I9500][5.0.1]

a lot of users are having this problem and if you want to receive an OTA you have to flash the stock unrooted firmware that will cause lose of data.
this guide will show you how to receive OTA again without losing your stuff
This works on GT-I9500 ONLY! (Lollipop 5.0.1 Recovery)
This also should work on any other model, but you have to replace the recovery with your model!
Steps:
1- Go to SuperSU and scroll down to "Full unroot" then reboot.
2- Download This file to PC and extract it.
3- Go to download mode by pressing the power key + home key + volume down key at the same time, then press volume up.
4- Flash the file via Odin (AP) or (PDA)
go to check the system status, you will find it Official
you can now receive OTA.
Q&A:
What is OTA (Over The Air)? Its an update which you can receive over wifi or mobile data.
What do i get from OTA? Well, if you root your device you wont be able to receive an update again, unless from flashing firmware via Odin.
- Why im still on custom status? Because you modified your system.
- What kind of modifying? Installing busybox, editing or deleting or changing any app or file system.
and some times xposed.
- How do i restore the old app? You can restore them by flashing firmware or by restoring Nandroid backup.
- Then what is the use of your guide? Well my guide helps in first place the rooted not the modded onces.
and always do Nandroid of the original system apps+data
you are still having your apps, data, pics, vids, etc...
you can root again at anytime.
check my thread for rooting if you want
im not responsible for any bricks
thank you...

Your welcome!
Hi there,
Thanks for the guide, just thinking you may want to say what option in Odin to put the file and what OTA stands for, for the noobs.
Just a thought.

At some point the update maybe canceled, because the update checks for the apps before the installation, always do a backup of your phone then remove what you want, after you want to update just restore the system folder from the backup

If you can see the stock recovery then check the SuperSU app again and maybe you are having a custom kernel

So i need to unroot it as well ? Anyway flashed via odin original stock russian lollipop rom just to check for any update and the flashed twrp and rooted it back. Just that it takes 10 mins or more to do all this. Thought your small flash file would work .

Assuming that you at least have stock os on the device you can install Samsung Kies on a pc, plug the device in and use Kies to restore your os to stock.
Note: This will not hide the fact that you have altered your phone and your warranty will still be invalid.
As I am new to the forum I am unable to post a link so my recommendation is to google "reinstall stock rom kies".
Good Luck.

If you flashed a stock firmware successfully it will not boot into twrp, flashing a stock firmware will install stock recovery, which means the stock firmware did not flash properly. Have you tried smart switch at all? Are you sure you have the correct firmware to flash through odin?

Yes I am sorry I didn't explained that. Atfer I tried to install stock ROM it got stuck, then smart switch didn't recognize the device but I manage to do the emergency recovery thing with model number and s/n but same thing it got stuck on the same installing system update screen. After that I installed TWRP via Odin to try to push a custom ROM zip, I did that but when I tried to install it failed.

Download Samsung SmartSwitch and from the upper menu select Emergency Recovery Mode, put your phone in Download Mode and connect it to your computer, enter your model number and S/N when asked, and it will download and install latest firmware for your model.
Sorry, i haven't seen that you already tried that.

That means TWRP works and Fastboot/Download works. What is the actual Galaxy S6 model? Mine is G920F.
What custom ROM did you try?
What version of TWRP are you using? The wrong one can create issues.
Did you wipe the phone trough TWRP first? Twice? Including internal memory?
