Few people asked me how to go back to stock from CM so here's a guide.
NOTE: I tested it only on ZE551KL and TWRP me & luca released.
Instructions :
Download back2stock package.
Download firmware for your device: https://asus.kremowka.xyz.
Extract ASUS firmware and put boot.img, system.new.dat, system.patch.dat, system.transfer.list, file_contexts from it inside of back2stock.zip package.
Flash back2stock.zip in TWRP.
Do a factory reset.
ZE550KL

I have no clue if ZE500KL TWRP supports /dev/block/bootimage symlink. If it does it'll work for sure.

Thanks for posting this procedure. However, after I followed your directions, my phone is stuck on the ASUS screen. The screen is animated but it appears to be stuck after 20+ minutes. Any tips?

That's weird. Are you sure you added all required files (especially file_contexts)?
BTW what is your model name? Have you tried older firmware files?

I added all of the files as per the directions. Additionally, I am using the ZE551KL model. I only tried using the V1.16.40.763 (WW) version of the firmware. I will try another version and report back on how it works. Thanks for the suggestion and the help.

" **** of the galaxy ," if this method were that simple , create custom rom from the stock firmware , it would be extremely simple , I believe you can go further and overcome with the update script

Umm, there's no reason of making it any different. If you want you could use sdat2img.py to generate system.img and just dd it but there's no point.

I don't really care what other script did you use. Just join IRC so I can actually help you.
EDIT: I don't see you on IRC 30 mins later so have fun figuring it out yourself. Good luck.
Hello, I tried to flash in ze551kl, put the files in the root directory, I flashed the back to stock zip file, wipe data, caché, dalvik caché and start again in cm 13. I see that you say format factory system, do I from cm13 or from twrp?
Sorry for my English, hope you could understand...

BETA~
"Before you download please read 2nd post"
This is the first stage of flash-patch development, this will be used to get AOSP/Vanilla builds onto our INC's in an easy suitable way that fits us all. No more rebuilding or packing a whole new zip
I will be updating the patch as we get more fixes. v0.1 is released and you can grab them below.
Download AOSP FlashPatch v0.2:
http://ziggy471.com/incredibledoes/AOSP-FP-v0.2-signed.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What the patch does:
- flashes INC's necessary system files
- flashes INC's boot.img
What to come:
- Sense ROM support
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to install:
- download flash-patch (posted above)
- download an AOSP/Vanilla rom
- full wipe required
- flash the AOSP/Vanilla ROM but DO NOT REBOOT after install
- flash the patch over the AOSP/Vanilla ROM
- now reboot
That's pretty much it for now, later I will clean up the install and add more fixes to it... Please report back the ROM tested and/or if it failed.

OKAY, this is a beta form flash-patch. This Patch will flash over any AOSP/Vanilla build "IF" the update/r-script is not asked to read the board of your device...?!
EXAMPLE:
- CyanogenMod builds have a getprop in the script which will not let you flash. If the script has something like this:
Code:
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "passion" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "passion" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "passion");
then the installation will fail because the board does not match.. you can simply edit these your selves by editing the update/r-script...
BEFORE:
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "passion" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "passion" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "passion");
AFTER:
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "inc" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "inc" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "inc");
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You can test out AOSP/Vanilla ROMS from any device like Droid, Desire, EVO, Nexus etc... as long as the script does not require the 'getprop' then you should be fine.
PLEASE NOTE: No telling on which roms are supported, only way to find out is to look around the forums and give it a flash... If tested and worked please post ROM/Developer so I can update OP.
"HOW TO EDIT update/r-script" 2 different ways~
NOTE: There is 2 different scripts "update-script" and "updater-script" you will see that I write "update/r-script" because there of the two different scripts. Updater-script comes with an "updater-binary" I never edit the binary so you can leave it alone... just edit the update or updater-script.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1- unzip the downloaded ROM
2- open folder META-INF >> com >> google >> android >> update/r-script
3- Open the update/r-script using an xml reader (For WINDOWS use notepad++) (For LINUX use gedit) or something similar...
4- Change the getprop "<device>" to getprop "inc"
5- save and replace the old update/r-script with the one you just saved
6- sign .zip and flash (If I remember correctly Clockwork recovery does not need a signed update.zip so signing the .zip is not required)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1 easy step:
This is the easiest way to edit the update/r-script... Completely remove the "assert getprop"
~EXAMPLE from CyanogenMod for N1~
Before:
ui_print("Welcome to CyanogenMod-6.1.0-RC1-N1!");
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "passion" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "passion" || getprop("ro.product.board") == "passion");
assert(getprop("ro.bootloader") == "0.33.2012" ||
getprop("ro.bootloader") == "0.33.0012" ||
getprop("ro.bootloader") == "0.35.2017" ||
getprop("ro.bootloader") == "0.35.0017");
package_extract_file("system/bin/backuptool.sh", "/tmp/backuptool.sh");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/backuptool.sh");

you know, I just started using ShadowROM and am loving it! I finally found a great AOSP rom that works wonderfully for me exactly how I want it. I really thought that I was going to stop flashing roms every day finally because I found an AOSP that I love! And then BAM, I read this thread and my choices of roms to try and test just grew 10 times larger....Thank You ID, really...Thanks >0.
Haha, no just kidding. This patch is awesome, I can't wait to start finding and testing out ROMS for other devices. Way to go ID!
Yay! Just what I have been waiting for! This stuff pretty much opens up a whole new world of tinkering for us! Thanks ID!!!
2 questions before I screw up my night:
1. given that its supposedly hard to sign files if you just have macs... would toggling signature verification in ClockworkMod do away with the need to sign the file? **** delete ****
2. If I do create a nandroid of the ROM after flashpatching it, will it be restorable as normal or do I have to flashpatch it everytime i.e. does the flashpatch get embedded in the nandroid?
Thanks
EDIT: Just noticed Q1 answered in OP

clockworkmod recovery.img Im pretty sure it does not need a signed.zip but if you use amon_ra then you need to sign the .zip
Q2: Nandroid will restore as normal, no need to re-apply the patch.
well, i thought i edited my getprop stuff but cyanogen 6.1 from nexusone failed due to getprop bootloader =0.33.2012 and a few others...
you can also just delete the assert in the update/r script.
I THINK you can also turn off the script asserts in CWM
and sigining files on a mac is super easy.

Just tried to use this patch w/ a Droid X rom http://www.mediafire.com/file/drixq6ry6ja83oq/DX-2315-Deodexed.zip and it didn't work. ID maybe you can take a look at it when you get a chance. Thanks!

So, obviously, Cyanogenmod for the Nexus works. Just removed the assert from the update/r script for both the bootloader and the device. Once that was fixed
1. install rom
2. run Inc's zip
3. ziggy kernel
4. Gapps
rebooted and running.
Not sure why, but wifi isn't working with it and I've tried the Kernels recommended in the Inc Cyanogen thread.
I got lithium mod to work using patch. Thank you.

reboot recovery
So, i'm having this issue with flashing apps such as superuser and cerberus on my Optimus 2x.
At first i just thought it might be an issue with the update itself (Only tried superuser at first) but now i wanted to check out cerberus, and it exhibits the same behaviour.
Basically it just says something like opening and installing update, then it goes "Error in <path to file> (Status: 0) installation failed" or something like that, and that is basically all there is to it.
CWM is version 4.4.0.7
CWM Recovery is version 5.0.2.0
And yes, i know i can just manually put it in /system/app if i want to, just really would want the convenience of automatically updating su and perhaps Cerberus, if i stick with that, everytime i flash a new nightly.
Let me guess, you're using a stock based ROM and ROM Manager to install them?
If so, then you'll want to either change your recovery to an 'internal' one, or boot to recovery and install them yourself.

Thanks for your help, if by stock you mean LG-based rom, then no, i use CM7 currently on Nightly 148. Edit: Additionally i'm using VorkKernel (the one from the 21st) if that has any bearing on the issue.
It doesn't matter if i install from ROM Manager og Recovery, the result is the same, i'm not sure what you mean with an internal recovery, i just installed the one that CWM installed for me.
Also tried the new update for CWM that were supposed to fix 10% of install issues or something like that, still no luck though
If you're on CM7 then you don't want an internal recovery, unless you don't have an external SD card.

I tried installing your recovery for external sd cards, still the same error, and yeah i do have an external sd card.
When did it start happening? It must have worked at some point as you have CM installed.

It only happens for apps (For example Superuser and Cerberus) CM flashes just fine, so does my kernel.
Well that's just bizarre then, if one thing works, they all should
If you go to advanced in recovery you get an options to display the log, might be worth doing that after it's failed at installing.

Well it starts up saying "Checking for extendedcommand" then "Skipping execution of extendedcommand. file not found"
Then it goes back to just showing the same log from the installation saying that there is an error in the file (status 0)
And nothing else.
Error status 0, I missed that, it means a problem with the updater-script.
Now, how old are these .zips? If they're not too new, they could use Amend scripts (instead of Edify that you need on CWM v3+), and you'll get that error. You can ignore the extended command bit, that's OK.

The zips were downloaded today, superuser 3.0 can't be more than a few days old, don't know about cerberus though, the archive timestamp indicates 2008, but that doesn't make sense.

They're Edify scripts, so nothing wrong there. That's confusing.
Anyone else dares enter the fray?
Same issue here for cerberus, although on a different device (galaxy note, notecore v10.2, cleanote v4).
Has anyone found a solution for this?
Extract the updater-binary from your rom and replace the ones in the app zips.

Here the binary is telling you it needs 4 arguments (args) and you are only giving it 3 (1. "MTD", 2. "system" and 3. "/system") which is why you were getting the error. If it had of worked, I'm not sure what it would have done because MTD is the wrong partition type for our phone. You have to be a bit careful here because there is the possibility of hard-bricking your phone doing things like that. I think the kitchen does tell you somewhere that you need to edit the script if your phone doesn't have a YAFFS based filesystem.

This second one that you have used is correct so I can only assume it's another part of the script that's causing the problem. To be 100% sure you can also remove the mount command altogether and just use the menu options in CWM to make sure /system is mounted before flashing the ROM.
Also did you wipe data/cache before flashing the ROM?
I installed Xposed Installer (v2.6.1) on my rooted Toshiba AT300SE (Excite 10 SE) with AOSP JB on it.
After installation device rebooted and now stuck on boot loop.
Any suggestion to get out of this.
Restore the backup that you should have made before installing the Xposed framework, or flash the Xposed disabler zip from recovery. Or read the FAQ.

Sadly, not many people around here possess a crystal ball to determine what may be helpful to you on advance. If it didn't help you, just say so politely.
If the Xposed disabler zip didn't work, you probably want to make sure it flashed correctly. You can also use adb to disable the Xposed framework if that still doesn't work out for you.

In case you get into a boot loop:
First, try using the safemode by pressing any hardware key repeatedly. You can find a short explanation how it works here.
If that doesn't work, you can flash the attached Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip by Tungstwenty. It will be copied to your (external) SD card when you install Xposed as well. The only thing it does is copying /system/bin/app_process.orig back to /system/bin/app_process, which you can also do yourself (e.g. with adb shell in recovery mode).

Where can i find disabler zip file?
I downloaded some files from web (all around 1.2kb in size) and all these have only one folder "meta-inf", nothing else.

You may also want to grab a logcat of the boot loop (also using adb), BTW. That way, the issue might actually be identified and possibly resolved in the future.

You should mainly try the one attached to the other thread... But it will only work on a custom recovery (CWM/TWRP). Not sure, but yours looks more like a stock recovery.
Also, did you try pressing a key many times as written in my quote?

Uninstaller performs only one move operation (or a copy operation plus delete operation) which is being performed on the files which already exist in the device. No need of involving external files, so the only dir in the zip is the one containg updater-binary file ie. META-INF. binary can be a simple, single-liner shell script which triggers basic shell command performing required, trivial operation. As most custom recoveries accept unsigned zips so signing it is not really required, resulting flashable woulď be a zip file containing singłe no more than 100bytes long file placed in a an empty subdir.
12kb size of such a zip shall be considered as a nothing that you should worry about then.
Probably u are running stock recovery which cąnnot flash zips signeď by anyone except a producer. It is also possible that the screenshots come from the older custom recovery, afair primer builds of cwm-based recoveries looked very similiar to stock ones. In thąt case the only reason of failure that I may think of is the fact that earlier versions of cwm did not neccessary provide a possibility to flash unsigned zips; didn't check but maybe uninstaller zip created by the installer is not signed (which I didnt check so I might be wrong; modern recoveries are flashing zips with no signature without any problems by default but less popular devices might be forced to use a version compiled by someone once ąnd never maintained = the only available). You may want to check if there is any option in your CWM that will enablę flashing such a zips and if it isnt possible, sign the zips on your own using any key, even a test one included to signapk.jar.

Yes, it's the stock recovery and i've tried several times with hardware keys but safe mode did not work in my scenario.

Then you can stop trying any flashable zips, they won't work on stock recovery.
If you can install a custom recovery, that should help. Or flashing only the /system partition of your ROM again. Or check if you can execute "adb shell id" and post the result (should show whether you get root access in recovery to perform the steps manually).

I've stock rom and recovery, there is no custom rom or recovery available for my device (Toshiba Excite 10 SE aka AT300SE).
So with stock rom and recovery it won't accept any zips and i can't format system partition with stock recovery. And about adb, i don't know where to start. In recovery there is an option to push a file through adb but when i connect my device while this option, my pc does not recognize the device, neither i can update the adb drivers.

Hey guys!
So, I got sick of not having a simple, stock, GPE ROM comparable with my device!
I knew a little about porting roms from the UL to the Sprint variant of the HTC One, as per the almost complete port of the L Preview from it's current state to our radio (Thanks @manups4e !!! You probably helped me directly the most, although I can't count out @sykopompos @ANDR01DN00B ( hate typing that username) or @tiny4579)
As for actual work on this, I want to thank @artur0588 for the TWRP-ready version of GPE!
Features:
Code:
De-odexed
Zipaligned
Pre-rooted
Busybox
Sprint kernel tweaks

Last one! I swear!~
Well, there appears to be an issue with the updater binary, so I'll have to sort that out
Can't wait to try this once you get the update binary and script sorted out!

My username is the most unique out of all XDA!!! Good luck with this project, but unfortunately I don't have a Sprint/Verizon variant, so I cannot test and I am not of any help to you.

Oh how did I miss the file_contexts
The funny part is the syntax error wasn't on line 4
it was line 3 making line 4 look wrong

I imagine it should look more like this, no @sykopompos?
