[ROM] Echoe Zen ROM for ASUS Zenfone 2


Today ZenfoneBlog will share about Echoe Zen ROM v1. This ROM is developed by Friedrich420  at EchoeROM website Here. About Echoe Roms were released for the first time on July 21st 2013. Since then, flashaholics from around the world have adored the idea that Echoe stands for. Echoe has become a trademark of customization of the Samsung Flagship Android Phones. Since then, things have changed a lot and besides perhaps the most choice-packed roms, echoe has began offering an incredible collection of its own AEL Kernels. None of this would have been possible without the thousands of dedicated Echoe Fans and of course without all those beautiful people below who have been part of the Echoe Family at one point or another.

How to Downgrade ASUS ZenFone 2 Firmware


Yesterday ASUS gave us recent update in ZenFone 2 ZE551ML 2.20.40.156 and ZenFone 2 ZE550ML 2.20.40.135. Personally I don't like this update because Now I can't use third party Themes, which you must download from Theme Store for free/paid themes from ZenUI designer and I don't see any good themes except Speed Themes :). This tutorial is applicable for Downgrading Firmware or even back to stock rom. Please do it carefully and DWYOR (Do it with your own risk) because wrong move may cause the device brick :)

  5. Place Recovery.img, bootloader.img, boot.img to Downgrade Folder
