Hello. I would like to ask for help about our phone. As of now there are no working rooting method available and we cannot move apps to sd since asus disabled that option, our internal storage is therefore limiting us to install more apps. Anyone knows how to root it would be of great help.
Asus Zenfone Go has MT680 chipset running android 5.1.

Magisk+TWRP for Exynos ONLY
Hi, there are some tutorials out here on the forum but some are outdated, others have dead links and other mix some steps from exynos and snapdragon, so this is a guide on how I did it, My device is the International Exynos LTE Dual sim variant or SM-N985F-DS running android 11 (oneUI 3.1) patch from april 2021 with security patch from may 2021 but this has been tested on many exynos variants.
See DR.Ketan post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-how-to-root-n20-ultra-n986b-n9860.4147023/
I based my guide on @dr.ketan 's guide and some bits from the comments and references from that post, so all credit goes to him and the people he reference on his post.
First of all as dr.ketan said:
NOTICE :
Before you move further, make clear that rooting device -
- Your warranty will be void
- Some of functions may not work on rooted device, some function may get back with un rooting, some may never.
- All your data on device will be lost
- Flashing custom binaries may brick (Usually soft but can be hard brick too) your device, so follow it on your own risk!
If you are ready with condition, move further -

1.- BACK UP ALL OF YOUR DATA, copy your files to a PC, make backups on google and samsung clouds and any other cloud service backup you have (whatsapp for example) becuase in this process all data is wiped TWICE.
2.- Prepare your PC:
I personally recommend using a laptop or a pc with an UPS (backup battery) just to be safe.
2.1 Create a folder fo the files and create 2 folders inside named OLD and NEW (this is merely to keep files organized since they CAN be confused (see next steps), unless said otherwise ALL files and folders go in the OLD folder.
2.2 Download ODIN [CHECK FILES BELOW]
2.3 Download YOUR phone stock firmware (you have several options for this, I personally use sammobile but here you have to google on your own. Remember to extract the contents and you should have 5 files.
NOTE(hehe): to get your exact model name you can check on Settings>About phone>Software information>Baseband version.
2.4 Download Magisk APK and ZIP [CHECK FILES BELOW]
2.5 Download Multidisabler ZIP [CHECK FILES BELOW]
2.6 Download TWRP recovery [CHECK FILES BELOW] and place it in the "NEW" folder you created on step 2.1
IMPORTANT: use only THIS recovery from THIS file, since it's modified for exynos and also to skip a step on the process.
3.- Prepare your Phone:
3.1 Copy the AP file from your PC (the one from the stock firmware) and the magisk.apk file you downloaded, to your phone.
3.2 Install the magisk app (the apk file)
3.3 Open the magisk app and select the first option, there you will have an option to select a file, select the AP file you copied from your pc an tap continue (or start I dont remember)
3.4 Now you will have a "Masgisk_patched-*********.tar" file on your download folder on your phone, copy that file to your PC and place it in the "NEW" folder you created on step 2.1.
4.- Now we start the process of modifying the phone
4.1 UNLOCK BOOTLOADER: on your phone go to SETTINGS>ABOUT PHONE>SOFTWARE INFORMATION and tap the "Build Number" repeatedly until you see "You are now a developer" (or something similar)
4.2 Go back to SETTINGS and now you will have at the bottom a new menu called "Developer options", enter and toggle on the OEM unlocking option, this will prompt some warnings and an assistant, follow the instructions and when you finish turn off your phone.
4.3 Press and hold the VOL+ and VOL- buttons at the same time and connect the phone to your PC WHILE HOLDING BOTH BUTTONS, this will prompt DOWNLOAD MODE on your phone and you will see 3 options, Press and hold the VOL+ button to unlock the bootloader, now your phone will reboot and wipe all of your data.
4.4 Confirm OEM Unlock is enabled: after the reboot you will get the initial setup process again (as if the phone were new) skip though all (because it will be wiped again) and repeat the process on step 4.1
Now the OEM unlock setting should be GRAYED OUT and with this your phone is ready to be modified
5.- Flashing custom binaries
5.1 Turn off the phone and put it into DOWNLOAD MODE again (see step 4.3) but this time use the first option, that is, press the VOL+ button ONCE, this will enter DOWNLOAD mode and put the phone in flashing state.
5.2 Open ODIN on your PC as administrator
5.3 On the Options tab UNTICK the "Auto Reboot" option
5.4 Click on the AP button and locate the "Masgisk_patched-*********.tar" on the "NEW" folder.
5.5 Click Start, wait until you see PASS on the top left corner
5.6 Click on the AP button again and locate the "Exynos no vbmeta recovery.tar" file on the "NEW" folder.
5.7 Click Start, wait until you see PASS on the top left corner.
5.8 THIS STEP IS CRITICAL: disconnect your phone from your PC, now READ AHEAD before doing anything.
Here you will have to do a combination of button presses to boot into recovery. Once your phone is disconnected press and hold VOL- and POWER BUTTON (side key) for approximately 7 seconds, once the phone screen goes black immediately release the VOL- button and press the VOL+ button WHILE KEEP PRESSING THE POWER BUTTON. You will see 1 or 2 warning and a glimpse of the samsung logo, keep pressing the buttons until you see the TWRP (Team Win Recovery) splash screen, at this point you can release the buttons.
5.9 now in the recovery navigate to WIPE tab > FORMAT DATA > and type yes to continue (read instructions on screen). DO NOT RESTART. go back to the starting screen and then navigate to REBOOT > REBOOT TO RECOVERY.
5.10 Your phone will reboot into recovery on its own, no need to press any buttons.
5.11 Once inside the Recovery, connect the phone to your PC, after a few seconds the phone will connect normally as if it were in the OS, now copy this files to your phone from your PC:
Magisk.zip
Multidisabler-samsung-3.1.zip
5.12 Go to INSTALL tab on your phone and select the multidisabler zip and install it (it will prompt you to swipe to install), once finished tap on WIPE CACHE/DATA.
5.13 Now do the same with magisk.zip but this time DO NOT tap the "wipe cache/data" button, instead tap on REBOOT.
6.- First Boot
NOTE: First boot takes a while but if your phone is not showing the initial setup screen in max 15 minutes something went wrong and you will have to flash back to stock firmware and start over.
6.1 Once you boot do the usual initial setup, here you can do it normally and restore your cloud backups.
6.2 When you are all set up, look for the MAGISK app, open it and follow the instructions. Your phone will reboot so make sure you are all set up BEFORE opening the app.
6.3 ALL DONE!
Hi there,
Thanks for the updated guide!
Maybe worth mentioning that when done, to get back into TWRP power down phone -> connect USB ->press & hold Power AND VOL- until black screen (7sec) -> Quickly press VOL+ with still holding Power button.
Would you know how to update firmware to latest security patches (downloaded from SamMobile for example) now phone is rooted with Magisk, with TWRP recovery and multidisabled?
Regards,
I followed all directions, and Magisk and TWRP are installed. However, I do not have root access. I have an S10e (SM-G970F, Exynos). To get root access, you have to do the bixby, volume up, and power together. I always get to TWRP. When I had only Magisk installed, I always got stock recovery. How do I get the keys correct?
Also, I understand you must have something in the USB port. I tried mostly connected to the computer, sometimes to a charger, and sometimes not at all. Nothing can get Magisk root access unless it boots me to recovery, and then I can just reboot to system (no root) or recovery (same place, still no root).

Only thing I can think of is you are not flashing the correct magisk zip file on TWRP, try downloading it from magisk's official site. Is the same file for the both procedures, you just have to change the file extension accordingly (.apk or .zip)

After flashing that, it would not boot to recovery but just to download.
Thanks! Worked for me! I have a question:
do you know how to Bypass root detection for bank app?
After I flash Exynos no vbmeta recovery.tar this is the error I get
Couldn't find grp7 symbol in main dtb

I cannot read everything it is so small, so there may be some typos
I found out what I did wrong. I am using SM-G970F (S10e), whereas this forum is for SM-N985F.
Great instructions, though.
Thank you. Just wish I could get root. I cannot because of the updated firmware (August 2021).

There is just this part that I did differently.
First, to start flashing the twrp at step 5.6 I had to restart the phone in download mode because odin would be stuck at "setup connection" if i tried to flash it just after the file before.
And at step 5.8 I had to keep the phone connected to the PC otherwise it would not boot in recovery menu.
I did all the phone setup and installed "Riru" then "Universal SafetyNet Fix" magisks modules to pass the Safetynet.
I just have one question if someone can tell me if there is a way to not display the bootloader warning message when the phone is booting please.

First, to start flashing the twrp at step 5.6 I had to restart the phone in download mode because odin would be stuck at "setup connection" if i tried to flash it just after the file before.
And at step 5.8 I had to keep the phone connected to the PC otherwise it would not boot in recovery menu.
I did all the phone setup and installed "Riru" then "Universal SafetyNet Fix" magisks modules to pass the Safetynet.
I just have one question if someone can tell me if there is a way to not display the bootloader warning message when the phone is booting please.

Thanks, I was just about to post this about the safety net since I just did it yesterday to start using google pay.
I'll add it to the Post as EXTRAS along with some other things.
Also sorry to everyone for having this thread so abandoned, I used to get so much spam from XDA that I ended up blocking all emails (?

Custom Rom / rooting Options vor TB-125FU (Lenovo Tab M10 Plus 3rd Gen)
Hey everyone, I've been looking for options to Install a custom Rom or root since I bought the Tablet several month ago. It seems like there are some options for the Full Hd Version, but I have a hard time finding anything useful for the 125FU...
forum.xda-developers.com
This process was completed on Model: TB125FU
Follow documentation at your own risk!
First I updated my tablet until it was the newest system update available. For me that was version "TB125FU_S000118_220927_ROW"
Step 1 - Install tablet drivers on your computer
Download drivers folder and unzip
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachments/android_adb_interface-zip.5741369/
Plug tablet into computer
Open Device Manager
You’ll see a line item labeled “ANDROID” with a yellow exclamation mark
Right click on it and select update drivers
Select Browse Computer and navigate to the unzipped driver folder
Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked and select Next
This will install the drivers for the tablet
Step 2 - Unlock your tablet for usb debugging
Open settings on your tablet
Search for “build”
Click “Build Number”
Click the Build Number box seven times to unlock developer options
Close and reopen the settings app
Under System there is now a Developer options, open it
Toggle the selections for OEM Unlocking and USB debugging
Step 3 - Obtain boot.img
Download and install Lenovo LSMA
https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds101291-rescue-and-smart-assistant-lmsa
plug your tablet into the computer
run program, select rescue
check the allow USB debugging popup on your tablet
select tablet in the LSMA program and select the allow popups on your tablet
select Download when it shows the firmware for your tablet
DO NOT CLICK START RESCUE
close the program when it finishes downloading the ROM
The ROM will download to C:\ProgramData\RSA\Download\RomFiles
Make sure ROM folder name matches the current system update version on your tablet
Copy from the downloaded ROM folder “boot.img” to your tablet
Step 4 - Modify boot.img
Download Magisk apk from the official Github page
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
install APK on your tablet
open Magisk
Select Install
Select “Select and Patch a File”
Navigate to the location you copied the boot.img file and select the file
Select “Let’s Go”
Wait for flashing lot to say “All done” indicating it modified the boot.img file
Transer modified file to your computer, for me it was called “magisk_patched-25200_rgIWh.img” I then renamed it “magisk_patched.img” to make future typing commands shorter
Step 5 - Unlock bootloader and flash modified boot.img
Download Minimal ADB and Fastboot Tools
I chose to download the portable version
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tool-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-2-9-18.2317790/
unzip folder
Place the modified .img file in this folder as well
Navigate to this folder, right click and launch a Command Prompt
Plug in your tablet to your computer if it isn’t already
Type “adb devices” to confirm your computer sees your tablet
Type “adb reboot bootloader” this should reboot your tablet into fastboot
Type “fastboot devices” to confirm the computer sees your tablet
Type “fastboot flashing unlock” read the instructions on screen which will tell you to press the volume up button (volume button closest to power button) to unlock bootloader.
Press the volume up button, It will say it was successful, wait a few seconds for the tablet to return to fastboot
Type “fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img” and when you hit enter you should see a transferring status on your tablet (if you named your modified .img file something else, type that into the command instead)
When you see the transfer is complete type “fastboot reboot” which will restart the tablet.
The tablet should now be rooted which will completely reset the tablet. You will need to setup the tablet again and reinstall the Magisk app from the official Github. The Magisk App should now have superuser controls
You can relock the bootloader and return the tablet to factory image. IT WILL WIPE ALL DATA AGAIN!
To unroot you just reverse a couple steps.
Put the original boot.img (Make sure it is the boot.img of the same version ROM) in the Minimal ADB and Fastboot Tools folder on your computer
Navigate to this folder, right click, and launch a Command Prompt
Plug in the tablet to your computer
Type “adb reboot bootloader” this should reboot your tablet into fastboot
When the tablet reboots into fastboot type “fastboot flash boot boot.img”
When you see the transfer is complete type “fastboot flashing lock” read the instructions on screen which will tell you to press the volume up button (volume button closest to power button) to lock bootloader. Press the volume up button.
Type “fastboot reboot” which will restart the tablet
You tablet should now be back to normal.
***Note, if you relock the bootloader first it will not let you flash the original boot.img file. If you make that mistake as I did once you'll be able to manually startup recovery mode by first powering off the tablet by holding down the power button, then boot into recovery by holding the power button and the volume up button until the recovery screen appears. Then you can unlock the bootloader again.
Hello,
Please can you confirm that the model you tested is the same as
Lenovo Android TB125ZAAJ0198SE
The one above is a mediatek helio G80 4GB+64GB 2000*1200 resolution with Android 12 (bought some days ago, for sure it is M10 Plus 3rd Gen).
Thanks in advance.
Mine is: ZAAJ0401US
The process detailed above should still work on yours. Remember, you will be downloading the boot.img that Lenovo is recommending for your tablet, not using one I uploaded. So you will be rooting your specific file.
I doubt there would be differences between our ROM anyway but even if there were, it wouldn't effect you be because you are creating your own rooted .img.
Thanks for this guide. What system app did you uninstall after rooting?
I didn't remove any system apps when I rooted. I'm sure some are extra and can be removed safely.
Sorry, what is the reason for rooting then, when there are no custom roms yet?
Some apps require root access.
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched-25200_ofAPj.img
Sending 'boot_a' (98304 KB) OKAY [ 2.660s]
Writing 'boot_a' FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
fastboot: error: Command failed

Now what? The bootloader is already unlocked.
EDIT: I had to use the volume keys to select "recovery mode" which opens a menu. From there I have to select "fastboot" (not "bootloader") which displays "fastbootd" (note the "d" on the end), then fastboot commands work.
BUT, after flashing the boot.img, it just powers off after the logo, no option to enter any kind of recovery, no USB connection. At most, if I hold Power for 15 seconds, then release and hold again, sometimes it turns on, and then if I hold VolUp, it boots to a recovery menu, but the only options are "try again" and "factory data reset". if I reset, it shows the animation for half a second, then shuts down.
On this menu it appears in "adb devices" as "unauthorized".
UPDATE: I was able to use Lenovo's "Recovery and Smart Assistant" tool to repair, but it has to be run on a Windows machine (will not connect in VirtualBox). It doesn't recognize the serial number, but by selecting "help finding serial" there's an option for manual entry of model number.
Choosing TB128FU and following the directions I was able to flash the stock firmware, but, the tool downloaded the wrong version. After flashing, the device claims the firmware isn't compatible with the hardware, and shuts down.
To fix this, I've had to find "TB128FU_CN_OPEN_USER_Q00012.0_S_ZUI_13.5.365_ST_220526_qpst" online. The tool downloads to C:\ProgramData\RSA\Downloads\RomFiles. You need to replace the contents of the folder in there (back it up!) with the contents of this, then it will flash a working firmware. (I think you can also use this to flash the patched boot.img, but I haven't tried). The only catch is, this is the Chinese ZIUI firmware, not the Global firmware it came with. It can be used in English, so I might keep it if I can't find the correct Global firmware.
https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Lenovo_Tab_M10_FHD_Plus_(lenovo_tbx606) PostMarketOS Wiki mentions that another file needs to be flashed any time you enter fastboot to prevent this brick. The article is for a different model, but probably the same applies.
I'm not sure why you got that error if the bootloader was unlocked. My patched .img file only failed like that when I failed to unlock the bootloader first.
Did you toggle the "OEM unlocking" in developer options on the tablet before trying to unlock the bootloader with command prompt commands?
When the bootloader is unlocked the tablet gives a warning message for a few seconds on every boot telling you that the bootloader is unlocked.
The "OEM unlocking" was grayed out saying the bootloader is already unlocked, and it does show the message at startup.
The problem might be that this is model TB128FU (not TB125FU) which is only sold in China, so it doesn't accept the same firmware. I don't know how the seller put the global firmware on it originally.
ok, i think i understand. Your tablet model number is different.
When going through the rooting process it downloaded the wrong version for your tablet without you realizing it so you patched and attempted to install the wrong version of ROM boot.img.
If so it means it is extra important to follow the line in step 3, "Make sure ROM folder name matches the current system update version on your tablet"
It is weird though that the Lenovo Rescue Tool didn't download the correct software for your tablet.
Does anybody know how to unlock bootloader for TB128XU? It is the same tablet but with Snapdragon SOC.
I am failing on unlock command. Both of these won't work :-(
fastboot oem unlock

So everything worked great for me.
As a launcher I now use the Microsoft Launcher.
Nice interface and features.
The OTAs with Magisk Root also work great.

Thanks for this! I haven't rooted an Android device since Gingerbread (2.3) in 2010, so it was good to have a basic guide for the newer stuff.
One thing I noticed: Step 1 says to find the "Android" device in Device Manager and manually install the drivers. However, that device didn't appear in Device Manager for me until I booted into fastboot mode. So effectively I had to move step 1 to instead be later, immediately after this sentence:
Type “adb reboot bootloader” this should reboot your tablet into fastboot

By orange state I assume you are describing the unlocked bootloader warning screen.
Unfortunately I don't know of a way to get rid of that delay and warning screen from the boot process. It should not have any effect on your tablet other than just notifying you that the bootloader is unsecured. Rooting a tablet does this and creates a more vulnerable system state that the manufacturer wants to make sure you are aware of. The tablet should boot normally after the few second delay.

Got a new TB125FU with firmware ver. "TB125FU_S000160_230227_ROW".
Anyone tried and succeeded rooting with this version?
Thank you
