How to root Zenfone 3 5.5 Inch (ZC553KL) - Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers

How to root Zenfone 3 Max 5.5 Inch (ZC553KL)...please!

I haven't found any solution to root too. pls help

same here. seem like this phone is still too new in market ...

also waiting on root for this particular model...

Hey guys.
I just bought this model too...
Still no luck on getting Root, right?
I checked a bunch of threads all over and only found solution for ZC520KL.
I also tried KingRoot (and several others), but KingRoot was the only one who returned an error message stating that a Root strategy had not yet been found for this particular model.
The request count for this model was 93, including my own.
So, I'm guessing we should all install KingRoot app and even though it does not root our phone, we can still issue a request for the devs to do it.
The more, the merrier.
Best regards,

Same hereeeeee, I was hoping this one will be much easier to root.. But eh.... I guess not

Same here. I looked for the unlock boot. I did not find..

Yes please someone make a tutorial to root the
Asus Zenfone 3 Max ZC553KL pleaaaase

root...Asus Zenfone 3 Max ZC553KL pleaaaase...

Any luck for this?

Thus this method work?

For now NO but will keep try other ways to root the device

What do you plan to do once rooted? I don't see custom ROMs. The only thing I can think of is Xposed.

hello everyone
My HTC One M7 (viper rom) left me so i buy this Zenfone Max Plus the same day, i'm very surprised this low price phone is very much more performant than my old hight price HTC.
That would be very cool to see some rom's on this one, i hope but maybe i'm dreaming.

I'm willing to donate for the purposes of obtaining root for the Verizon Note Pro12.2 LTE model P905V. When I try to ask normally it's on with other versions and the thread gets confused for my purposes.
Has anyone achieved root on p905v?
If not, what files can I provide from my unrooted P905V? How can I extract them?
Has anyone managed to make a custom Recovery or port one for the p905v?
Thanks in adavance

I feel like someone on the CF root thead noted they were successful at rooting out version. I had asked and was no response. I think it was a few pages back, I'll do some digging.

Put me down for $25, I definitely need root asap!
Make it $50.
Root sm-p905V please
I'm completely new to this and unsure about how donation works. Just got my first android device as this sm-p905V.
Likely one of the best pieces of technology I ever purchased. Was very excited about getting perfect-dark for n64 with 2 controllers, but turns out i need root access to get the ps3 cotrollers to bluetooth to the thing.
I just heard about rooting for the first time yesterday while trying to get these controllers working. Sounds like it is alot more exciting than just playing some old school nintendo.=D
I look forward to getting root access and really exploring the usefulness of this device.
They've just posted the first 4.4.2 Rooted Rom for the Verizon Note 3, so I wonder if that will help our devices, which has pretty much the same chipset in it?
We're up to about $200 for the bounty (as far as I have counted). Let's do this!!! (pretty) Please!!!

Help
Someone get discovered now came out a root for SM-P905V Verizon!?
Has anyone been able to get the system.img or recovery.img for the P905V? I looked around all day yesterday and couldn't extract from my tablet because of lack of su and sammobile.com doesn't have the system.img either. I don't think chainfire will be able to root our tablets until we get a copy of the system.img and extract the recovery for him.

I know this is for the Note3 and the S5, but I wonder if this is something that could be built on for the N12.2 since they have the same OS, especially the Note3 (Snapdragon Variant) http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...ve-and-maybe-almost-any-other-current-device/

[Q] Verizon Note 3 (N900V) Root

Dear Xda Developers
dear teams first of all i am sorry if any one has already posted such kind of thread i just want to know that on XDA great teams and people are working together on different devices to make them better for common people use.
today i have same Question for you all
i am searching for posts regarding verizon note 3 lollipop root and have not found any solution one click root does not work towelroot does not work root de la vegas not working in short nothing is successful against rooting Verizon Note 3 SM N900V.!! i just want to say that there are thousands of developers but still could not make a simple root for this device. kindly do not forget this device there are a lot of users like me waiting for root kindly do something about give it your attention guys root is needed.!!
Note: if it cannot be rooted on 5.0 then kindly make a root on 4.4.4 so those who are on 5.0 revert back to 4.4.4 via Odin (i have tried reverting back to 4,4,4 using Odin and it worked) and then can root 4.4.4 if you guys successful make root available for Verizon Note 3 SM N 900V running on 4,4,4 please let us know if there is currently any dev working on this device??
one more there is a new method knows as multiboot or something similar which is used to run dual roms on this device i had seen video on Youtube and could not sort out how to do it as i do not have root and without root nothing is possible kindly someone pay attention to this device. as its been a long time since no root>> [/SIZE][/B][/B]
Lots of us is waiting for it but there is no solution for now ...hope it ll be soon ..
Really?? Every other thread is asking the same questions.
/rant
Well.. I think at least read the other post about this topic, before posting something like this.. but anyways I'll give you a quick heads up.
Basically the main reason that root can't be done by now it's cause of Verizon blocking the bootloader on lollipop also banning the kernel from 4.4.2 where root was possible.
Another point why root hasn't been accomplished by now is cause the people who are able to accomplish that are already working for some company's who pays them to patch those kinds of vulnerability and some others are focused in his school or PhD.
So.. before posting such a request read a little bit son you can be aware of what's going on.
Cheers!

I've done a bit of a research on Ping pong root... it seems it's only for note4 and s6 devices.
So I said let's give it a try who knows what might happen.. so I installed.
At first I thought it will give a message like device not supported but no actually it installs supersu but at the moment of pressing Get root! It gives me a message that supersu is not installed.
So... No. Ping Pong Root still does not work for us yet.
I'll keep up with that thread to see if it comes in handy to help us get root access.

I tried the King root dated 13 Jun, and it didnt work either.
Bummer. Was hoping since the S6 was 5.+ with root, we might get lucky. Oh well...

Root for SM-t377a (ATT Galaxy Tab-E)

Is there a way to root the galaxy tab E that comes from AT&T? I've found a TWRP image for the SM-T377P version but nothing for SM-T377A which is what I have. I was thinking they might be cross compatible but if they were, I'm sure TWRP would have listed it on their site.
The option to OEM unlock is in the dev settings list so I'm thinking I can flash the recovery but I'm not sure on that.

Kingroot can't root my Galaxy Tab SM-T377A runnning 6..0.1 Marsmallow, I just want to uninstall or freeze those AT&T bloatware but I guess I have to wait coz I can't return it anymore...Thanks ..
Worst tablet ever. Att can't even get their software updates right. I can't use this as a phone because the stupid number sync software keep giving an error and no one at att knows how to fix it. I've tried different dialers and freezing them. Nothing works. Now I have com.android.phone is not responding and their is no firmware download anywhere to fix it. Now I have to factory reset the whole damn tablet lol. I'm going to sell the and get a Sprint unlocked version. What a shame. This tablet had potential too

You can Google "replace Kingroot with supersu". There is a 4 step method for replacing the temp Kingroot with chainfires SuperSu. Even if bootloader is locked. Just found one of these in Facebook marketplace for $50.

Anyone flashed t377p on t377a?
Sent from my Moto G (5) using Tapatalk
I think this tablet sucks, too. AT&T hoodwinked me into getting this thing, and now I'm stuck with it for 2 years. It's slow and choppy--I'd rather have an iPad. My "Next" contract is just about up, and I can't wait to dump their ass for another carrier.
Agree. Hoodwink is exactly what they did. This tablet is SLOW and the bloatware is chewing up RAM. I'm about to dump it for something else. Was hoping to be able to root it so I could kill off some of the bloat, but no joy....

I knew I should have checked here first... but at least I can return it... I figured a device of its age would for sure have custom roms and root. Stupid at&t! Guess I'm back on the search for a LTE tablet that works on at&t for under $300
Hi, recently I bought a cheap AT&T Tab E. It has only 4GB internal storage instead of 16, weird? The tab is almost useless because it has almost no space for new files/apps. Anyone knows what's wrong with the tab? Thanks

Totally new to rooting in general, and researching isn't going well as I don't have any context/experience yet...and the vocabulary is new. I have (literally just bought a few days ago) this version of the Tab E...and I'm trying to root it so I can use it more effectively as a head unit in my 03 F150. I'm finding out I bought the wrong unit to do this reasonably easily.
Would you mind posting a quick walkthrough of how this works? Install KingRoot and then replace it with Supersu to get the tablet permarooted?
Thanks!

This is a guide with a one-click .bat file to supposedly do this:

Directions for manual replacement:
https://missingtricks.net/replace-kingroot-kinguser-with-supersu-superuser-android-guide/
Remember, this is for you replacing "TEMP ROOT", not when a device is permanently rooted! This means being in the position of Kingroot barely getting temporary root that will be lost when device is rebooted!!! It involves using Flashify (by Chainfire as well) and authorizing it's root ability to flash.
As in every OP on XDA, do so at "YOUR OWN RISK".........

Anyone have stock firmware, t377a. Any version will help
Any version can not help bro

I got some that work for me though if you upgrade your device i dont thjng you can downdgrade anymore

[Q] Blade Max Z Root, TWRP, Xposed??

Hello,
Thinking of getting the Blade Max Z exclusive to MetroPCS. It has great specs but I need to know if it can be rooted (Android 7.1.) I also need TWRP and would like to put Xposed on it.
Searching the forum didn't bring up anything about the phone.
Thanks in advance!
You will never see root for this phone. Much like the version before it, the Z Max Pro, it is unrootable

Trying to root an Lg Stylo 3 Boost (NOT LG stylo 3 plus)

Hey guys/girls,
I'm gh0st.
I am an amateur/beginner Python 3.x programmer so although I'm not extremely knowledgeable, I can follow along with any kind of instructions you would be gracious enough to share.
My native OS on my main machine if I need to utilize that to manually unlock the bootloader or something like that is: Linux Ubuntu 16.04 (LTS version.)
I'm not sure if that matters but anyway... I am just wondering if anyone has had any success rooting this particular phone or simply rooting LG devices in general? LGE G Stylo 3 aka Model LS-777. The LG Stylo 3 plus from boost has been rooted successful day. However, I can't seem to find a way to unlock the bootloader.
If you could please help me root my LG Stylo 3 I bought from boost, I will pay you no problem if that's what it takes. I will absolutely pay you for your work if you can pull it off. I did buy it as a "Boost" phone so if I'm stuck with Boost, I'm 110% okay with that.
If you can assist me in gaining root access to this LGE LS-777, and Flash some custom roms and stuff like that to it I would be so appreciative. Like I said I'll pay you for your efforts.
Thank you for your help in advance.

I haven't heard anything on it. For some reason LG locked down the bootloader. Without access to fastboot there really isn't any way to get it unlocked if I understand it right. I remember trolling around the f few threads there are, and it seemed like no one was trying anymore.
Great so i just got a phone that i can never debloat

I would think if you search around and find the right info you could modify the bit image somehow. I know when I got the S7 edge right when it came out there was an engineer kernel out and that was the only way. Now chain fire had an auto root for it. I hope you find it. I'm sure the person that does will appreciated by many that's for sure.
Or if it's on your budget I heard that metro PC's is giving the 3 plus as a promo if you Port your existing number over to them. Just have to buy three months of unlimited service and it is 40 a month I believe. After 90b days they will unlock it for any carrier. Not a bad deal

I wouldnt know about king root, but one click root said it was rootable. i just dont have the 40 dollars they wanted to do it
One-click methods do not have the capabilities to root the Stylo 3. Systemless root is the only viable option and requires a modification of the bootchain (/aboot), and then pushing a patched boot image by use of the engineer version of LG-UP. Custom recovery doesn't seem to be an option at this time.
I wouldn't know. I hate how locked the boot loader is though. I'm trying to find a way into it. Currently, you get into factory reset mode by holding either power up or down (I don't remember currently) but you can get into an IMEI/Serial display mode by holding both volume up and down on bootup. I wonder if there are any secrets to be found there?
Bootloader blocked.
I know either cricket or LG blocked bootloader access. But you can get Dev options by tapping the Build Number. Setting>General>About Phone>Software info.
Also idk if this will help, but Nugent does the most peculiar thing when you tap on "Android version" within the same menu. Take a look. I'm not sure if this is like a "Ha,Ha!" From the devs but it definitely had me scratching my dome.

LG-UP is basically a firmware flashing utility which is actually used in LG certified stores and service centers. Very similar to Odin for Samsung devices. Yes the utility installs to a PC or laptop and flashes the firmware to your LG device via a tethered connection (and your device being in Download Mode).
