Hi!
Yesterday night, I was on the lookout for emoji font for my phone. To no avail finding colored emoji icons, I ended up going to Font Changer (Root) but found nothing there either. Since I just discovered the app, I thought, why not just try something new? A new font? So I downloaded a font, made a backup of my old font and rebooted the phone. But then it was done. My phone didn't start anymore and was stuck on booting. I went over to Modaco forums, downloaded a custom recovery and then downloaded one of the many dedoxed roms there. I tried to flash it, but in avail.
-- Install /data/media
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installation aborted.
So I downloaded another ROM to try. Same error. I tried to download the stock firmware from ASUS. Same error. What is causing this?
Keep in mind, I have done a data/factory reset wipe! The phone was obviously rooted before the incident! I did not have a custom recovery before the incident! I have tried 4 different ROMs! I am currently on Modaco's custom recovery!
ROMs tried -
* Deodexed TW ROM (Padfone 2)
* Deodexed WWE ROM (Padfone 2)
* [Pre MCR WWE ROM (Padfone 2)
* PadFone2 Firmware: V10.4.11.13 Only for JP SKU (Android 4.1) (STOCK)
Current recovery -
* Modaco R1 Custom Recovery
try restoring with the phone plugged in to a power source.
it worked for me when i got the same message trying to update.

Same happened to me, but I got it up and running again!
Earlier today I bricked my Padfone 2 too by installing 3rd part font. After a reboot to apply the changes, it got to the boot logo but never any further.
I got it up and running again, :victory: and to those out there in same or similar situation, here's a tutorial on what I did:
Before we start, there's a few things you need;
1.1 Latest ADB version (I used 1.0.31)
1.2 Latest Fastboot version
1.3 CWM Recovery
1.4 Latest ASUS USB Drivers (available from ASUS Support site)
1.5 Padfone 2 Firmware (available from ASUS Support site)
*** NOTE: For ease of use, place extract and place all of the above to the same folder.
*** NOTE: Inside the Padfone 2 Firmware ZIP file, there's another ZIP file. This is the one we need! The one I used was called "WWE_A68-10.4.15.1-0-ota-user.zip"
*** NOTE: This method does not install CWM Recovery on your phone, it only boots it temporarily.
If you have all of the above, continue to step 2;
2.1 Booting your Padfone 2 into Fastboot mode
2.2 Press and hold Power + Volume up buttons
In Fastboot mode, connect your phone to your computer and launch cmd. Wait for windows to install necessary drivers if needed.
3.1 Navigate your CMD to the folder containing ADB, Fastboot and CWM Recovery (recovery.img)
3.2 In CMD type:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
In the CWM Recovery on your phone, select the option titled "Install ZIP from sideload".
Use the volume keys to navigate and select by pressing the power button.
4.1 In CMD, transfer the Padfone 2 Firmware by typing
Code:
adb sideload [firmware-file-name.zip]
- Example from my case, I wrote:
Code:
adb sideload WWE_A68-10.4.15.1-0-ota-user.zip
4.2 When it is done, you'll be presented with CWM Recovery's screen again, select "Reboot system now".
4.3 CWM Recovery will present you with a warning saying: "ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?" - Select "NO".
[EDIT]
In some, if not all cases, Windows will try to install new drivers, but fail. If windows installed the drivers correctly, skip this step.
To solve this, go to device manager by entering the Start menu, right-click Computer and select “Manage”. Select the Device Manager.
You should see a failed device named A68. Right-click it and select “Update device software”
Select “Browse my computer for driver software”
Select “Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer”
Select “Have Disk”
Now browse and navigate to the folder you extracted your ASUS USB Drivers to and select the file named “android_winusb.inf”
Select “ASUS Android ADB Interface” and install.
Added files and a neat pdf tutorial.
[/EDIT]
All done! You should have a working Padfone 2 again!
Please note that you may need to root your phone again.
Please credit if used

I'm sorry for my carelessness, the download link I attached in the previous post was for S1. The method is similar to almost all android devices. The only thing you should worry about is CWM. You can follow the same steps but make sure that you have a CWM for your phone. If not, you may try porting it to your phone or just download ROM manager on your phone, it will provide you with all the options for flashing CWM. You can download ROM Manager from google play. Other than that, the steps are all the same.

Try doing this. Install SuperSU using CWM. If it installs, reboot the phone and check whether it has been installed by looking at the All apps section under settings. Then try to use any root application. If you encounter any problems in these sections, kindly specify where you get the problem.
Waiting for device
I am facing different problem.
Command prompt displays nothing after writing fastboot devices and on further process it says waiting for device.
i have karbonn drivers installed in my pc with windows 7 and usb debugging is on.

Hey,
So I'm a noob at this and I tried to root my phone.
Got the Android unified toolkit from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746680
And followed wwjoshdew's video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPRWk8d0sUQ&hd
I picked the Allinone root option on the toolkit and proceeded. At the next step, when my phone entered download mode, it said I need to flash the recovery, recommended TWRP. But in the video, josh directly opens the root folder on odin and starts that. I did what josh did and that completed successfully. But when my device rebooted, on the toolkit, it said could not find recovery and I should try again. And there is no supersu on my phone either.
What have I done wrong? Do I need to flash the recovery before rooting?
Thanks in advance.
You have did only root.
But... a custom recovery is highly recommended (the better is Philz Recovery, CWM-based with some TWRP function).
Also a root manager is reccomended: Superuser is a great open source alternative to SuperSU, but I can't say you which is the best.
Ps actually I can't see video guide nor thread, my answer is based on what you said in the topic, so at first tell me if phone in "Settings > Info about" menu result with a custom firmware instead official. Otherwise you haven't even did root.
It's showing the stock version. No custom build. I just wanted to root so I could use apps like Greenify.
Do I need to do a flash the recovery first?

I didn't ask you for stock or custom rom. If you did root, in "Info about phone" the system status is showed as "custom".
Greenify should works also without root, but with limitations.
Recovery is highly recommended for you and also for some advanced apps who need this to flash something.
Then also a root manager for security reasons and a better device control is reccomended.
You can't stay without both, but I suggest to have both.
Ps without doing root you can't flash anything, nor via Odin! [emoji6]
It's showing Device Status as Official.
I understand that I need to root first before I can do anything. However when I followed the vid, it said before rooting if I had any recovery installed and needed me to install one first.
That's why I'm confused. I thought it was root first then flash recovery.

You haven't to be confused: for example CF-Auto-Root do it and automatically flash recovery (CWM) and root manager (SuperSU).
You can flash them by downloading the device specific file (I9300).
If you want to change root manager simply uninstall SupetSU and download by Play Store Superuser (from Chainfire eh!), if you want dislike or want to update recovery, simply flash another via Odin or zip file.
Advice
My advice is this:
1. search for a MD5 file from Philz Touch like here: https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9300/
2. Download Odin3.09 from here: http://www.chip.de/downloads/Odin3_12992520.html
3. Go to download mode by pressing volume down, home button and power on
4. Flash it by clicking AP and select the MD5 file
5. boot to recovery pressing volume up, home button plus power on
6. go to philz settings, Reroot system
7. download SuperSu from market
Than you're done

Without root you can't do anything. This option is useful for people who have maintained Philz Recovery on an unrooted system.

Tried everything for past 3 days, I cannot get Root access.
1) Bootloader unlocked
2) Activated Developer options
3) downloaded Su
4) Flashify or such other options don't work.
5) Also installed Minimum ADB & Fastboot, renamed recovery file, (and I believe also installed the TWRP).
Still can't get to the option of Install Recovery, Take Backup of Stock ROM or Data.
Tried Vol up + Power button, but there is no option to install (despite having SU in a memory card). The only options I get ( on a touch sensitive screen) are to test the phone on some criteria (technical terms I can''t remember) along with an option for Chinese. The options on the screen were Fastboot, download, recovery (and 1 more I can't remember currently)..
I suppose I have to choose Fastboot, and then install TWRP (I renamed the img file as recovery.img before installing it through a cmmand prompt (run as administrator).

i know it may frustrating, maybe next time just post a link to your thread.
as @narshi shukla mentioned, you have to initial boot in recovery from fastboot (btw there is no need to flash, just booting is required at this time)
have you downloaded the right twrp image, check the size of your file? you can alternative download from the mentioned support thread
did you read the note?
"Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot."
this means your stock recovery will maybe flashed back over twrp right after reboot. you have to repeat the steps each time, until you have successful entered into twrp recovery.
once in twrp recovery, you have to select the SuperSU.zip from external sd card. press the "install" button and select file. if file is not visible, go back and press the "mount" button, make sure external sd card is mounted. you can use a USB-OTG-Adapter and mount a USB-Stick as well.
go back to install and select the zip file, swipe to confirm flash. if flashing fails, goto "Advanced" and select "copy log to SD". you can upload the recovery.log file here for further analysis

Use Magisk for Rooting. It is the best. Make sure you have installed TWRP. You can use KingoRoot or KingRoot app, if your Android version is 2.2 , 2.3 , 4.0, 4.3, 4.4, 5.0
