To get root & custom recovery, the following methods are reported to be working with the latest Asus ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1689193
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1681155
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1688012
The first method ( [TOOL]PERI-0.4 One click root+recovery/fix-bootloops+soft-bricks ALL Devices V0.4) works well for me on TF101G with latest ICS . Just install it on the PC, run the .BAT file and follow the instructions to root and install Custom Recovery and Root / SU on the Transformer.
The only issue I've had is that this custom Recovery won't seem flash the ASUS stock ROM for some reason. So what I do now is use the above tool to get root and Custom Recovery, then use that to flash ClockWorkMod Recovery v6.0.1.4 NoTouch Hybrid from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1855686 - click the Download link and get the cwm-6.0.1.4-notouch-hybrid.zip file (apparently the Touch version is currently broken).
From CWM recovery you should be able to flash any custom ROM and kernel etc., and also return to stock by flashing the ASUS stock ROM from their download site (make sure you select the right one for your model and unzip it first - for some reason they put the zip ROM inside another zip).
If you do return to stock, don't forget you'll also lose root and custom recovery so you'll need to start over.
I'm using Android Revolution HD 3.4.3 3G which seems pretty stable. I've also heard good things about Revolver, but I couldn't get 3G working on the 3G version.
Good luck.

1 click root

This worked for me. Just make sure you download version for your transformer.

well thank you all ...

I was on KitKat latest rooted..
I had a tough time trying to debug a new cell and for same, had to completely hard reset my existing device (spend almost 6 hour doing same and finally success)..
I am attaching my phone info in attachments. for information.
It seems the root access has been revoked/gone now.. checking via Root Checker Basic.. i get this message: Sorry! Root access is not properly installed on this device: (in red)
Device: SM-N900
Android Version: 5.0
If I have done all the steps correctly above.,. can some guide me to few things..
1. Install L22.1 with Pekaka kernel latest.. (I hope this is best configuration for sm-n900 device)
I have downloaded l22 and l22.1 update, not sure which is latest pekaka kernel for my device (please give me a download link and install instructions location, I will do rest).
2. Install custom recovery (suggest best for above rom/kernel accordingly)
3. Suggest how do i root the phone again..
Please guide which steps to follow first/second.. and via odin/without odin.. I will manage rest of things myself.
Thanks.

Rootkit for Zenfone 5 A500KL Lollipop WW 12.4.5.58

Hi guys!
I have use this Zenfone 5 LTE variant (ASUS_T00P or A500KL variant) for about a year unrooted until recently the phone failed/bricked due to unknown reason.
The last stable version that I used before the phone failed was KitKat 4.4.2 (UL-ASUS_T00P-WW-11.4.6.94-user).
After a visit to Asus service center, they re-flashed my phone with Lollipop 5.0 (LRX21M.WW_Phone-12.4.5.58-20151013 044030443_201501281349).
When I tried to root the phone with the common Zenfone 5 Lollipop Rootkit available on the Internet, it failed due to some restriction in writing some flash part inside the phone.
Again, one more weird thing with this phone is when I tried the power button+volume up button, it won't bring me to fastboot mode.
Instead, the button combo will bring up a yellow text saying that my phone now is in CSC mode.
In recovery mode, I couldn't find the "apply update from adb" menu too.
Even in the .zip firmware file downloaded from Asus site, I couldn't find the fastboot.img and recovery.img
So, herein lies my questions.
1. What will happen to the failed root process? Will it corrupt my current Lollipop file system in near future?
2. Does anyone know what is CSC mode?
3. Can anyone confirm whether I can root this phone or not with the current setup? I really need to root this phone ASAP as I want to try to recover all my lost photos inside the internal storage with help from other software.
4. Can I still sideload from adb incase the phone brick again since I don't want to visit and pay Asus technician just to re-flash my firmware. I totally can do that myself provided they gave me the option in the 1st place.
p/s: anyhow, I wouldn't recommend this phone to anyone due to above reason.

I have the same issues with this model. I hope someone will be able to help us.

Same problem to me can't do anything .

CSC mode - locked bootloader.
UnlockBootloader in oficial site Asus (section Utilites)
http://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone_5_A500KL/HelpDesk_Download/
TWRP recovery for a500kl too.

As far as I know the very first version of Lollipop on this device, WW 12.4.5.22, is rootable. I had no luck with the latest versions of firmware, so you probably won´t be able to root your current one. If you get back to this version using the downgrade version on the Asus website, you can use Kingroot to root the device. After you install Kingroot, reboot the phone, otherwise it will not be able to root it for some reason. I bought this phone because my lumia 710 decided to give up on life and it´s mainboard died. I needed some not very expensive phone with pretty good specs and big enough RAM for a low amount of money and so far it´s been working flawlessly

Did you manage to root? I have the same version on lollipop and have managed to root it and install TWRP.

Installing Resurrection Remix on Build A2017GV1.2.0B01

Hi there, I am looking to root my Axon 7 A2017G and install Resurrection Remix. I have only rooted Oneplus devices before so was looking for some help in the process. I understand that it involves unlocking the bootloader then installing TWRP which can then be used to flash the rom. Firstly it seems from this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-install-twrp-unlock-bl-flash-t3517379 that I will have to downgrade to marshmallow first in which case will the default MiFavor Updater detect the update if I simply downloader this one say: http://www.stechguide.com/download-b03-update-for-zte-axon-7-a2017geurope/ and place it in the root of the sdcard? Or will I have to flash that downgrade with the stock recovery?
Secondly in the package my device came in (ordered off AliExpress) it had a note that said this device couldn't be rooted as they had installed their own software, the only possible indication of this however is that the recovery is in chinese(?), I have included a picture. Should I be concerned about this?
Annnnd I can't actually think of a thirdly so thirdly just thanks for any help

No. Your phone is NOT an A2017G, it is an A2017!!! Be VERY careful! Why do you think they say that you can't root? for giggles? Look in the back of the phone, it should say the model. You will need to follow guides for the A2017, but I recommend that you download the latest official A2017 update zip, unpack it if needed (if you open the zip you downloaded and there's a PDF and an update.zip, take the update.zip), then take the update.zip and throw it in the root of the internal storage, otherwise throw the zip you downloaded if there's no update.zip. Then go to Update and update.
After that you'll have official A2017 firmware and you can use the guides

Help with Root

Hi guys.
I saw a highly recommended post on rooting an Asus Zenfone Max 2 Pro(https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...t-asus-zenfone-max-pro-m2-unofficial.3885457/
Unfortunately , I saw it after I had already unlocked the bootloader using the UnlockDevice.apk tool from Asus' official website. Hence , the steps for rooting are now confusing since in that guide I have to use unlocker to install Magisk and root.
I want to know how to now root my phone now that I've already unlocked the bootloader , I just need help with the rooting part. Please help me out , I really need to recover some data that I lost when I factory reset , and the recovery tool I downloaded is saying root access is needed to deep scan and find those files.
I'm running a stock Android 9.0
