Hi once again let me show you a simple tutorial on how to flash TWRP on your asus zenfone 2 laser 5.5s Asus_Z00LD device via adb so you can make a stock rom backup to your device.

First things first you need to have root access (tutorial here) and must have an unlocked bootloader (tutorial here).

After testing out on Marshmallow upgrade erasing my root acces but still with an unlocked bootloader, I take back what I said above that it must need root since I managed to flashed the custom recovery.img (TWRP) via adb without any issues with the same steps provided here in this tutorial.

Disclaimer: I am not held responsible if you brick or destroy your device, do it at your own risk as I also did when I flashed twrp to my device.

Things needed:
1. ADB (how to set up plus download link here)
2. TWRP.img (download and save to platform-tools in your adb tools)
-for this tutorial since it is for Asus Zenfone 2 Laser 5.5s Asus_Z00LD I use this twrp-3.0.2-5-Z00L.img here

note:
-tested for asus_Z00LD download twrp for Z00L, if your device is Z00T download twrp for Z00T-check out compatible twrp for your device.

Steps:
1. Simply download adb tools and set up properly.
2. Download your compatible TWRP.img and save inside your platform-tools folder in your adb tools. You may rename the twrp without the long code like twrp-3.0.2-5-Z00L.img  to twrp.img or twrprecovery.img depending on your liking.

save_twrp.img_under_platform-tools

3. Open command window to execute the following commands.

open_command_window_here

type in the following:

adb reboot bootloader (hit enter)

adb_reboot_bootloader

fastboot devices (hit enter)-optional to check if it can detect your device

check_device_if_detected

4. Now you have an option to flash twrp temporarily, the next time you boot your phone will revert back to the stock recovery. Here is the command if you wish only as temporary.

command:

fastboot boot twrp-*.*.*-*.*-***.img 

temporary_twrp

note: if you renamed your twrp to twrp.img then the command should look like this:

fastboot boot twrp.img 

Be reminded that it will automatically boot your device to twrp when you type above commands and do the necessary back ups if you wish to.

5. To flash it permanently follow the command below. Just rename the twrp in case you change it to some other name like twrp.img for shorter typing from command window.

command:

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-5-Z00L.img 

permanent_twrp

note: if you renamed your twrp to twrp.img then the command should look like this:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img 

6. After flashing simply type the command:

fastboot reboot (hit enter)

7. Congrats! You can now make stock rom backup of your device, you may simply delete bloatware apps not needed for your device if you wish to before you make some back ups.
