[Request] Process to root ZE552KL Nougat - Asus ZenFone 3 Questions & Answers

Dear friends,
I want to know the exact process to root my ZE552KL using Stock Nougat as I am too confused after looking at a lot of threads about rooting this model.
I had used Samsung Galaxy Note 2 back in 2012, just after it was launched and the process of rooting was easier for it. However, I felt rooting ZE552KL is a bit complicated and I dont want to brick my device as its in warranty till Feb 2018.
Will you please give me the exact process to root ZE552KL?
Thank you in advance.

Didnt receive any help from anyone. No issues. I found a clean way to root phone without installing twrp. By using latest magisk 14.0 without root and twrp. Try it. Its good. All you will need is an unlocked bootloader and a boot.img of your phone.

Can u show how to do it ? Thanks before

I see that using the sd card would be great if the phone had one. So how to root without it?

Not necessary to use sd card. Place the files in internal memory instead.

Help with rooting nougat mate 8 + Question

Warning: This is probably gonna be a long post and may have typos.
Now, let's cut to the chase.
I'm currently on my Mate 8 emui.4, I had my phone rooted a while ago with TWRP and SuperSu. After rooting, I had the nougat update and I updated without knowing that it would remove TWRP and my root access. That was not the only problem! I couldn't switch on my Bluetooth. Also I lost the update option from the about phone location. I tried searching it in the search bar and clicking on the update button but, nothing would open up. And.. Yes, it was an official update. I tried to root it with the usual method but, it got me into a bootloop. I tried most TWRP versions but, it didn't seem to work! Either there would be no recovery (just a Black screen with some text) or the options inside the TWRP recovery wouldn't work. So I rerolled back to Mate 8 marshmellow. Now I don't have root, no TWRP or unlocked bootloader. So my question is if I should root my current phone version of emui.4 and be satisfied by it by unlocking bootloader now and rooting it, or update my phone to Mate 8 nougat again? If you're suggesting I update to nougat please provide me with ALL the necessary files to root Nougat and please guide me through. And provide me with the information on what to do in the worst case scenario too.. Please .
@Devil Chan
I think you should make like that:
Download the new firmware without to install it
Unpack the bigger file in a dload folder created on the external sd. You must to have a big file (more than 1 GB), inside you should find an update.app file, you put this one on the dload folder
Unlock bootloader
Install insecure boot for your current firmware (B200)
Install twrp
Reboot to twrp
Wipe - factory reset
Format data
Power off your phone
Install new firmware via the 3 buttons combo
After installation, make a factory reset via erecovery
Power off the phone and reboot to bootloader
Install Decrypted data boot for the B560
Install frd-twrp
Reboot to the twrp
Format data
Reboot to the twrp
Install update data of NXT-L29C185B560, I think you also have it in the downloaded files of your new firmware
Install supersu EMUI 5.0
Reboot system - normally fully rooted
For the 1 & 2, I think the files are like I said, if no, don't make this tuto. You shall see otherwise.
For the 4, it's the little issue. You must to recover a stock boot B200 and I could make you the insecure boot or Decrypted data boot, it's almost the same.
For the root questions, we can continue here.
This may seem very complicated but don't worry, it's not!

First of all thank you so very much for replying,
I'm sorry, I'm a newbie. I have a few questions.
Where do I download the firmware from? link me to it please?
What is insecure boot? Flash using fastboot? Link?
7 and 8, Factory reset doesn't format data? Using erecovery or TWRP?
What's frd-twrp? How do I install it?
Step 10 and 18, after installing the new firmware, why would I need to update it? How do I update it?
Can you make me the insecure boot? I don't know how to use it? Do I just flash it with fastboot?
Sorry got asking so many questions.. I feel really bad asking this many.
I can't answer now, I try to answer you later.

Your first screenshot, you can update it there.
Insecure boot is a boot.img which enable you to decrypt your data folder. It's necessary to root. You flash it with fasboot, ok.
Yes, Factory reset doesn't format the data
TWRP
it's a unofficial twrp for Nougat. You flash it with fasboot
Because you should format the data before
Via TWRP if it's really like I think (obtained files in the update)
Yes if I've the stock boot. Normally you can recover it via ADB
Yeah

Normally no.
Normally it proposes you at least 2 files, one bigger than 1 GB and another smaller than 1 GB. First is update and second is update data

2. In case I mess up something... I just have to reroll back to marshmellow using dload with the older update data. Right?

The first should be update.app file extracted to the big file (above 1 GB), you will put it in dload. The second will be a zip what you will install with the TWRP.
Via dload method, yes!
Show me files once downloaded in order to be sure!

Where can I find my stock boot.img? (I'm running stock rom on gt-i9515)

Hello,
Where can I find this file?
My main goal is to install magisk on an un-rooted galaxy s4 gt-i9515 device, and one of the steps is patching the boot.img.
Where can I find this file? Should I copy it and patch the copied file? Or should I patch the original one (I have full TWRP backup from before root & system files editing)?
edit:
I've seen this on youtube and it seems too easy, is this a legit way to get your boot.img? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-Cyxemi25g

Dude, Magisk has to be flashed from recovery. I don't know What you are doing right now, but I'm pretty sure you're overcomplicating things.

I am posting a new thread about the whole process I've done. Please read it and help me install Magisk.
Btw I have a TWRP backup of the state before flashing / installing anyhting, so I am constantly recovering my system back to a state which passes safetynet.

Working root for honor 8 pro

This is only for Honor 8 Pro (DUK-L09)​
DISCLAIMER​YOUR WARRANTY IS NOW VOID. IN NO WAY AM I RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EFFECTS YOU INFLICT ON YOUR MOBILE DEVICE BY FOLLOWING THE BELOW PROCEDURE. IMPROPER USAGE OF THE METHOD MIGHT END UP BRICKING YOUR DEVICE AND RENDERING IT UNUSABLE.
PLEASE BACKUP ALL YOUR DATA BEFORE PROCEEDING.​
Purpose of this thread is to provide a working rooting method for the Honor 8 Pro. Flashing Phhsuperuser doesn't grant SYSTEM WIDE root permission.
Functions like granting -rw permissions to apps demanding them for accessing /system partition was disabled, TWRP backup wouldn't work.
With this method, you will be able to operate the phone will proper root privileges.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. UNLOCK BOOTLOADER​
Assuming you have a Huawei ID, use THIS PAGE to get your Unlock code.
Once you have that, enable USB debugging on your device from Developer options menu.
Make sure "Allow OEM unlock" option is selected.
Use the following set of commands via ADB/Fastboot:
adb device (this should recognize your device)
adb reboot bootloader (this will boot your phone into fastboot mode)
fastboot oem unlock *unlock key* (the part between * is where the unlock key goes)
The device will restart and then perform factory reset itself.
2. INSTALL CUSTOM RECOVERY IMAGE (Source : TWRP Thread by OldDroid)​
Download TWRP recovery image from HERE
Rename the downloaded file to recovery.img
Copy it to the ADB folder that you are using.
Use the command "adb reboot bootloader" like in Step 1 to boot into Fastboot mode.
Flash the recovery using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" command (without quotes)
You have now flashed a custom recovery onto your phone.​
3. ROOTING
Download Magisk installer zip file from THIS LINK . I had personally used v 13.3 .
Copy it to your SD card(I would suggest you to use a external card).
Switch off your device.
Boot into recovery mode by pressing Volume Up and Power Button together.
Once in, swipe to allow modifications.
Go to Wipe - Format Data
Then Go to Reboot- Recovery
You should be back into the recovery mode. Go to Install menu - Select storage - Install the Magisk zip that you downloaded.
Once it is flashed, you can Reboot to system.
Note: To confirm system wide root access, you can reboot to recovery and try to take a Nandroid backup. It should now be possible.​
If anyone happens to run into a bootloop or soft bricks the device, THIS THREAD by @aKp1 will come in handy.
Thanks to @OldDroid for his TWRP thread.
I am rooted using phhs superuser, do I need to unroot first? If yes, I can't find how to unroot the Indian variant.

Yes you will have to unroot first. Since phhsuperuser doesn't have a option to UNROOT, you will have to flash stock ROM.
To do that, download the following: HUAWEI UPDATE EXTRACTOR and STOCK ROM .
Follow below steps:
Extract the Stock ROM
Use the Update extractor and select "Update.app" file. That should give you a list of files. Select "recovery.img" and "recovery2.img" image files and extract them.
Copy them to ADB folder. Boot your phone into fastboot mode, flash the two recovery files you copied.
Next, Copy the "dload" folder to your SD card(preferably external SD). Switch your phone off. Press Vol Up,Vol Down and Power button together. The ROM should start flashing. That brings you back to stock firmware. If you want to re-root, follow the instructions in this thread.

Oh wait. Isn't the format data option remove some necessary apps like keyboard and others? Because that's the case before in my Honor 8. After you remove encryption, you need to reflash the region zip so that some important files will be retained.

The zip I shared is for the Indian variant . As long as someone is having C675(Indian variant) installed, it shouldn't cause issues. However if you come from a different region(C432) , you will have to use region zip. I guess I mentioned that in the TWRP thread, current last post.
But formatting data can't be avoided as unlocking bootloader will wipe it in first place . More over stock ROM encrypts data on first boot, so you will have to format data(decrypt it) and proceed with rooting.

Stay with 130. Surprisingly, rooting by this method still allows OTA to come in.

Yes. Install twrp, flash no verity, format data (to remove encryption) flash magisk. Some people have said if you took the last security update, you may have to patch the boot.img with magisk manager then flash the patched boot.img in fastboot or twrp to root. And will likely need the latest magisk beta (16.4).

Don't neglect to backup EVERYTHING in TWRP before doing ANYTHING (and store those images off-device!). Strongly suggest booting a TWRP image to perform this task vs. installing/flashing to the recovery partition, especially if interested in preserving/restoring OTA capability at a future time.
Of course I will back up everything. Honestly this is the first device I have not rooted since I started with Android. Everything else I rooted as soon as I got it.

You can backup your data in twrp and restore after you format (after first boot). Restore only data though.

Welcome to the 5% club which is probably generous based on the number of noobs (and veterans) who neglect to image their device before messing with core components. Of course that figure may be skewed as those that do take proper precautions rarely write posts that begin with "help!" and have no path back to the prior working state.
Also, resist the temptation to flash a custom recovery (twrp) vs booting from fastboot if you want to accept accept future OTA updates or roll back to pure stock. While restoring stock recovery is possible it certainly complicates the process. Can always revisit the decision at later time.

Don't have a definitive answer on the latest firmware. Suggest going through the above steps first. If no joy it's a simple matter to patch/flash boot.img .
You are wise to boot a twrp image vs flashing over stock recovery. Simplifies fallback should the need arise. Don't neglect to backup stock and store off device (or at least on a SD card).

For .3, format data to remove encryption.
But the rest should work. If not, you have to download the current firmware ( the version you're on) if you can find it. Extract the boot.img from it. Then use magisk manager to patch it. And use fastboot to flash the patched boot.img

You shouldn't need a no-verity any longer. Newer versions of magisk should take care of it. Just TWRP, and magisk.

Hello, I am running a Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime at the moment, a friend told me I must flash no verity.zip after flashing TWRP because of the verification and I tried making a backup if the entire rom but it failed so I need to confirm, do I factory reset my device then flash the no verity file or I flash the no verity file and then factory reset the device??

i used twrp-3.3.0-2-tissot.img
i found it in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/development/rom-lineageos-16-0-xiaomi-mi-a1-t3885100
i can upload it here if you want, but im not sure what website to use to upload because it tried using xda and it says file too large

it's only an img file right? there is no zip file
yes, it's called
twrp-3.3.0-2-tissot.img
You can find TWRP in Mi A1 xda forum but the sad news is you can't get permanent TWRP in latest Stock Pie Rom. I just had the permanent TWRP in 1.0.8.0 Stock rom by flashing eXtreme Kernel then flash Cosmic Dan's TWRP Zip Installer otherwise i tried many times but never get permanent TWRP. You can also use official TWRP Zip installer from TWRP's official site

I just need root access for now can you please explain the process for latest stock pie rom? I have already unlocked the bootloader and the remaining process on internet is just confusing

1- Boot from patched boot image (ex: fastboot boot patched_boot.img).
2- Install Magisk Manager app.
3- Open it and Select install then direct install.
4- Reboot.
If you want to unroot then select complete uninstall from magisk manager.
