How can I unbrick my Zenfone 2?

Please help, bricked Zenfone 2

My phone was downloading random apps so I tried to root it and it started to bootloop.

Now ADB doesn't recognize the phone and installing stock rom via SD card has signature verification issues so it looks like my last chance is to flash a pre-rooted rom via fastboot (as that still recognizes the device)

My questions tho' are.... my original device was Z00A CN 2.20.48.63, I cannot find a pre rooted image that is equal or later to this (I can find CN 2.20.48.61) .....I have read that the pre-rooted image must be equal or later....is this true?

What if I flashed an image that was WW? As I am able to find pre rooted WW images that are 2.20.48.63 and later.

Also, my brother has a rooted ZF2 that is CN 2.20.48.63, is there a way for him to get files I need off his phone?

Reason number 101 why I never will root an already great phone.

Thanks for the help. As I said I only tried to root it because it was trying to download random apps with names such as "unhook the bra"
