I have copy pasted the page for the asus-t00f for now, will edit later, they are basically identical devices.

Device owners

  • The Arjdroid (Notes: Very similar to Asus Zenfone 5 Asus T00F, but with slightly faster CPU clockspeed, have not been able to unlock the bootloader...)


How to enter flash mode

Hold power button and volume up while device is turned off

Installation

Zenfone 5 uses non-standard bootimg format, so we'll need to create it manually. You'll need a working Zenfone 5 boot.img to proceed.

$ pmbootstrap install --sdcard=/dev/sd?
$ pmbootstrap export
$ git clone https://github.com/shakalaca/ZenFone-boot-tools
$ cd ZenFone-boot-tools
$ make
$ ./pack_intel ./path/to/original/boot.img /tmp/postmarketOS-export/vmlinuz-asus-t00f /tmp/postmarketOS-export/initramfs-asus-t00f output_boot.img

Then you can flash output_boot.img as you normally would using fastboot.

$ sudo fastboot flash boot output_boot.img
