This METHOD was developed ONLY for an UNLOCKED Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD XT926m phone that is already updated to the last version of KitKat 4.4.2 (System version "183.46.15.XT926.Verizon.en.US").
IF YOU HAVE AN LOCKED BOOTLOADER AND TRY THIS METHOD IT WILL BE ONLY YOUR RESPONSABILITY IF YOU DAMAGE YOUR PHONE !!!
My Motorola XT926m had an UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER (ICS 4.0.4) and I flashed via RSD Lite the last stock firmware, "183.46.15"... After that, I was, of course, unhappy, because I read on different forums that this firmware version didn't support root... I tried to download the Hydrogen Peroxide xt926 application that others users recommended here on XDA forum, without success.
But now, after I applied this method, my phone is again rooted... Enjoy the steps, but be carefull, it was developed for XT926 phones with UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER!
1. Download the files "VZW_XT926_4.4.2-KDA20.62-10.1_CFC_1FF.xml" and "VZW_XT926_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_CFC_1FF.xml" from the Motorola firmware site: "motofirmware.com/files/file/"...
2. Unpack the files...
3. Substitute/replace the "gpt", "tz" files (FROM the folder with "15.1" version TO the folder with "10.1" version)... You should replace all the files that "RSD Lite" will tell you that don't fit when you try to flash the new stock firmware. You will obtain a MODIFIED version of "183.46.10" stock KitKAt 4.4.2 firmware!!!
4. Flash this MODIFIED "10.1" firmware with "RSD Lite v6.1.5 Multi-Flash" (without using Rsd Script Generator.jar), but don't forget to remove the first two 'getvar' lines in the xml file.
5. Download and install the "Towel Root.apk" and root the phone...
6. Now your phone should be ROOTED.
What to do NEXT:
7.Download from the Play Store and install "Superuser.apk" made by ClockWordMode and after reboot the application will ask you to update SU binary. In my case, the SU binary didn't support an online update and I installed the "Superuser.zip" file downloaded from the ClockWorkMode site, via recovery method, in order to gain this update (you can do this as well, if you already have a TWRP or CWM recovery installed on your phone). With the other version of superuser, like "SuperSU.apk" or "Superuser.apk" ("eu.chainfire.supersu-2.apk", the last version, 5.6mb, for example) you will need to follow the same steps...
8. Using "Total Commander.apk", you can go to "File System root"/"Etc"/"installrecovery.sh", and finally rename this last file... Or you can use "ES3 File Explorer.apk" in order to rename the same "installrecovery.sh" file in "Device"/"Etc" folder (choose, for example, the name "installrecovery.shbak")...
9. Flash with "Flashify.apk" (downloaded form PLay Store) a new "recovery img.": "TWRP.img" (2.8.3.0) or "CWM.img" (6.0.4.8) for KitKat... You can find them on "rootjunkysdl.com/?device=Droid%20Razr%20HD&folder=Firmware"...
10. If you flashed "TWPR recovery.img" you will need to install "Stericson.busybox-1.apk" (from Play Store...), because TWRP works with this busy box... (You could install "TWRP.apk" as well, but you must be careful, because you will need to be able to boot into Recovery mode directly from your phone (with the combination key), not from this app... Many times, the phone is able to boot into recovery mode from TWRP application, but not from the bootloader... That's why it is better to uninstall TWRP application if you have this problem). If you flashed a "CWM.img" you can install "RomManager.apk".
11.Now it is the time to backup your system to SD card!
That's it. My phone was unlocked, and I didn't have any issue following all this steps... If you're locked don't try it.
But.. If you're locked you could instead use an application named 'Safestrap' for some purposes (read more here on XDA forum please), because is destinated for the phones with locked bootloader...

THANKS!
I know you took a lot of time to write this up, but there is a downgrade method posted on here already. Also, there is no need to rename recovery.sh. All you need to do after flashing recovery is power off the phone and immediately boot straight back into recovery so the install script completes.
To answer your question, no, you can't unlock .15.

Correct. That's why this method is flawed and probably should be pulled before someone bricks their phone.

Yeah, unfortunately this post makes no sense, I mean, if you accidently flash the gpt.bin, you're screwed... and so many risks, plus, you can't flash custom recovery, and you can maybe downgrade the system and boot, but you still can't downgrade the bootloader...

This method is for an XT926 with UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER, with the last 183.46.15 update and the root access lost. I only described the steps that I already done with my phone. My Maxx HD is working and has root access again... I flashed custom recovery too (TWRP 2.8.3.0), I haven't any other problem.

The piece you are referring to that doesn't work on .15 is the unlock and root. The downgrade should work on an unlocked phone.
That aside, your steps are very confusing and could easily cause a locked user to brick their phone. Please clarify or I will continue reporting this thread until it gets removed.

Hi
I am new to the OnePlus 2. When I bought it, stock 5.1.1 installed, I downloaded and installed the latest Marshmallow stock build via an OTA update. I then followed the official OnePlus video guide on unlocking the bootloader and rooting the device. I successfully unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP and then went on to flash SuperSU. Unfortunately, then device did not reboot - and I was soft-bricked, stuck on the boot animation. I am not sure what went wrong here.
In order to un-brick and recover my device, I downloaded the latest Marshmallow OxygenOS 3.0.2 zip from OnePlus. I was able to get this onto my device and I flashed it successfully in TWRP, and all is well.
My questions are:
1) Having flashed the latest stock, Marshmallow OxygenOS 3.0.2, will my bootloader still be unlocked?
2) Will I still have TWRP recovery, or stock recovery?
3) How can I successfully root?
Thank you in advance
I already forget what it is looks like when I change from stock to custom ROM.
But hey, here is the guide to help you:
1. use Fastboot command -> fastboot oem device-info
If "Device unlocked: ture" than your bootloader is unlocked. Normally, if you have not yet touch anything, oem is locked. But if you do unlock it, it will STAY unlock unless you use fastboot command line to change back to locked.
2. OP website only show is optional to use official recovery, so I think it is depend on you. Just go and check on it
3. For OnePlus Brand is easy. Just go and download SuperSU 2.74, place into your "sdcard", and flash it.

Hi - many thanks for the reply and information
Just to confirm, question 2: I flashed the latest stock from TWRP to recover from a soft brick. Would that process have flashed stock recovery also? Do I need to check this out by pressing Vol. down and Power buttons on boot?
Thanks again

TWRP will ask you, if you want to disable stock recovery flash, after you flash official firmware.
Rooting the newest stock firmware with the latest supersu from chainfire's website will turn your device into a bootloop.
Here you can find the right supersu for your firmware:

Hello and thank you for sending me the information and links. Flashing the modified supersu worked and I am now rooted
Just a final question please...Before I received your reply I had flashed stock several times and tried different supersu versions. And ended up in bootloops as a result of this. Is this likely to have damaged my device in any way?

Hi,
I've just got a new ZE551KL (z00td) with a locked bootloader and no root. Since the phone have the latest android 6.0.1 build I have difficulty to root it and unlock the bootloader. I did many research and I think it's really confusing. It seem to root my phone I need an unlocked bootloader but to unlock it I have to root my phone. The last interesting thing I've found for my phone is to flash a pre-rooted system.img & boot.img ( http://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-80274-1-1.html ) but I also get stuck here since the guide tell me to flash both and I can only find the system.img.
I would like to know if there's any guide to root & unlock my bootloader on my ZE551KL. Thanks a lot!
It's a pain, but you may have to roll back to an earlier version of the firmware...back to lollipop. There are instructions in one of the threads on how to do that. I was able to unlock before the marshmallow update with the official unlock utility from Asus. Once you are unlocked, the easiest way to root is just to either boot twrp.img (previously downloaded and extracted to the adb folderon your computer) using fastboot (lots of threads here with instructions, too) and install supersu.zip. Or if you want to install twrp as your recovery, you can flash it from fastboot, then flash the zip of supersu. If you need more help, I am no expert by any means, but I have done this with my own ze551kl and might be able to give you some more hints.
Personally I would avoid the prerooted images as I had a lot of trouble with them and nearly bricked my phone by trying them out.
Thanks a lot for your reply! That's what I'm trying right now. I'm rolling back to lollipop from an official rom file from asus website. So far, I tried to flash it with stock recovery but it said that I cannot install a older version on top of a newer one. I did an downgrade of the recovery and now I'm waiting for the flash.

Excuse me, how did you do the downgrade of the recovery? Can you share the .img with me? I have TWRP installed with locked bootloader
I've found older stock recovery on this site : https://mega.nz/#F!lodnzDhK!H5ChxausDTyko1qGlnF7dw!Fg9FwLoa

Well it seem that I cannot downgrade, the latest recovery don't want to install a lower version and when I try to get a older stock recovery I still cannot downgrade since it get stuck at verifying image update package.
Also I've noticed that my version is 21.40.1220.1698 and so far I can't find anything related to this version for rooting or unlocking bootloader. Even the official firmware on asus website for the ZE551KL is older than this version and I couldn't flash it. I had to get it from https://asus.kremowka.xyz/categories/show/2 because I've soft bricked my device. I'm still trying to find a solution...

I would NOT use this stock image for ze551kl. There is one for the 601 and the 550 but not 551kl. I will find the thread with the first stock recovery posted that I used and post the link in a while. Give me a chance to find it. I would roll back to it, then upgrade to the stock firmware listed in the unlocker notes. Once it's unlocked, you can go to the last lollipop before marshmallow and flash it. I would then factory reset, then flash marshmallow. After you have it working, then flash twrp (or just boot it in adb) as I said above and flash supersu.
I will warn you that a lot of people have had trouble unlocking and this might not work to unlock.

There are a lot of people in this forum that can help and most are pretty patient. Don't give up.
Finally I got my phone unlocked and rooted and it was too easy ...
I used fastboot to flash TWRP ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/zen...e601kl-official-marshmallow-wwv21-40-t3424903 ) and after that I flashed the latest CM13 from TWRP to gain root and unlocked my bootloader with this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/zen...de-unlock-bootloader-asus-unlock-app-t3405850
I never though I could flash TWRP with a locked bootloader but it worked very well.

Me too the first time I tried to unlock my bootloader in CM13 it didn't worked. I followed the guide and I did this :
Phone connected to the computer with USB debug and using ADB :
Code:
adb shell
su
Then I followed the backup procedure and I did the magic command to unlock it :
Code:
echo -ne "\x01" | dd obs=1 count=1 seek=16 of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/devinfo
After I rebooted in fastboot so see if my device was unlocked but no it was still lock. I did two adb reboot with these command :
Code:
fastboot oem adb_enable
fastboot oem adb_enable
You have to do these twice.
After this my bootloader was still locked but I did a normal reboot and tried the magic command and voila! Bootloader unlocked.

In my case I also had some difficulty to go back to Stock since I couldn't find the right firmware for mine because my android version is 21.40.1220.1698 and you have to flash the same version. The only place I found it was there https://asus.kremowka.xyz/categories/show/2 under the ZE601KL

The video is for the 550 but the process is the same for the 551kl (zootd). I downloaded the stock firmware at the bottom of the page on the Asus support page https://www.asus.com/support/Download/39/1/0/23/SZCx58yhB5Jst0yI/32/ , extracted it, grabbed the boot.IMG from there and put it on my memory card along with the stock recovery from the link above (renamed it recovery.img) and the full firmware (drag the original, leave it zipped). Then I did as the video says and wiped in twrp, flashed the boot and recovery, wiped cache, then flashed the firmware. It took awhile for the process to complete. Hope this helps.

So, to recap. If you are at the latest update, and have never previously unlocked bootloader or rooted your phone. The ASUS provided unlock tool won't work on the latest update. With it locked you can't install custom recovery or downgrade the firmware to an older version so that you can unlock it. Catch 22. Screwed until ASUS releases an update to their unlock tool or someone figures something else out. Or am I missing something? Cause I've been trying to do something with my kids phone for two days now and no luck here doing anything. Bout 8 million guides and files around the net and none of em seem to do squat in my situation. Any comments? Let's hear em.

Any way to unlock bootloader on B27, or go back to B20 from B27? I've scoured the forums and Google and can't find any info. Thanks.
Use tenfar's tool to reboot into edl mode (the instructions are in the thread) and then flash twrp. Then download DrakenFX's BootloaderUnlock.zip and flash in TWRP. You should then be able unlock with 'fastboot OEM unlock'
Bootloader Unlock zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-stay-t3461165/page17
But it says in all caps on the first page of the linked thread that this method is not recommended for B27.

I did it on rooted B27. Before I flashed the bootloader unlock file I used TWRP to make a system image backup. Then I flashed his file, went to bootloader, unlocked, went back to TWRP and restored the system image I made. My bootloader screen shows it is unlocked and my B27 works perfectly. I could be the lone person who made it work but it did work for me.
Seems as though DrakenFX took his file down for the bootloader unlock - gotta wait this one out

I was trying to root and unlock boot loader. I was on the latest update B29 and tried following the guide but used the B27 files. I flashed the files got into TWRP but for some reason my system got wiped. I can get into fastboot, recovery, and EDL but when i try to boot my phone regular it boots ZTE boot screen real quick and then goes into a BLACK screen and stays there? Any Suggestions on what I can do? If I try to unlock the bootloader it says failed cannot do remotely probably because my phone system get erased and so the option isnt clicked in phone to allow oem unlock.
I was going to try flashing;
- ZTE_A2017U.B29_MergeBootStack_by_DrakenFX.zip
- ZTE_A2017U.B29_StockSystem_by_DrakenFX.zip
There is some kind of problems with android file host does anyone have a copy of these two files hosted somewhere else?
Thanks
Did you make the backups shown in both the twrp flashing guide and the unlock bootloader guide?
Could you provide a little more detail on what you did so far?

I ended up going to ZTE site and getting there B20 image and flashed back my backed up recovery and boot and flashed the update zip with there recovery and I am back in business now. I was trying to unlock and root but somewhere or how my system got deleted so it would not boot. What is the easiest way to unlock the BL and then root? Is DrakenFX the most up to date way? Anyways thanks for the reply, I was going to download DrakenFX files for stock recovery, but Android File Host is having some problems and you can not download anything from them right now

Yes, flash twrp and flash drakenfx unlockbootloader file. Look for the newbie guide to unlocking and follow. Read the thread first as always.
