I'm confused what you're asking. So when you leave twrp it says you may have lost root? Or when you load the ROM you don't have root?

If You have root I don't see the problem. You'll sometimes get a disable recovery flash message too. Just ignore them both and enjoy your new ROM.

I rooted my phone with method 3 with stock .165, j just make sure you have the latest 1 click root kit. Restart your phone then try it again.

I Checked, I apply method 1
I have tried to root my ZF2 using method 3 and nothing happens...was successful before the latest update but nothing now....
And when I attempt to root it using method 2 see a response flicker on the screen for a very short time saying "unauthorised"...is this something to do with the latest update or something else? Anyone seen this before?
cheers

1. Wrong thread.
2. Wrong forum :silly:
3. This One Click Root is only for ZenFone 2 devices.
4. I don't think that AT&T devices could be unlocked. Not only AT&T, Verizon does the same thing too. Maybe you could look for working root method on this forum.

Did you check/enable USB debugging mode in Developers Option? Then try again. Check also in Device and Printer in your PC if your MTP has no yellow warning sign. If it does then you need to update your drivers correctly.

have you check using command promt that you asus device is detected. Better use the stock USB chord of ASUS. IF you have done all of that stuff, then I don't know how to help you anymore..

update to 7.0 Ota from rooted rom?

Do I download update Ota then install on rooted rom, or flash Back to stock and update

You should flash back to stock and update. Cannot install OTA over a rooted rom I believe.
However, I came from Paranoid Android and followed the advice here, and it worked perfectly. Was able to keep root and TWRP.

currently on CM13.1 nightly I'm going to follow what you did. Hope it will work
I was rooted I use this post, and the is a link in that thread to the actual zip your will need, and also you must have the updated TWRP as well. All the information is in that thread. but that is literally it.
Download update zip
Download Flashfire
download new TWRP
Back up you crap ( will not wipe SD card unless you tell it to )
Run FlashFire, set setting correctly
run it, you will already be rooted when done
set dev mode
re-flash new TWRP
PROFIT
Did you get the option "Restore boot and recovery images" when setting Flash OTA zip? I just got Auto mount and Mount /system read/write.

You can use Flashfire to flash OTA file

If you have Xposed just get Android N-ify and it's just like having 7.0
Anyone updated from DP5 / systemless root / TWRP?
And flashed zip for adaway to work.
What are the steps to update with ota zip?
Yes and everything is ok. Follow the steps carm01 suggests some post above. Its easy and at least for me everything worked. After fisrt boot you can go to TWRP and flash everything else you need.

You can get the same experience without going through the trouble of upgrading and then having to root again etc. I personally like it but we all have opinions

I used it months ago so there could be a lot of changes to it since then?
I don't believe the new notifications are there? Quick pull down? It's also nice that it takes up a GB less for system as well.
What rom are you on?

The notifications are definitely there, so is quick pull down It's updated frequently so I'm sure the experience is the same
I'm running Dirty Unicorns 6.0.1 with ElementalX kernel

Look in the S8 plus forum for ROMs for the Partcyborg ROM. You should be able to flash that because it is a bootloader version 2 ROM.
did you figure this out

I did the odin with both version and I couldn't install the blackberry connect for work. I was told those apps are like military grade sh!t and once your rooted this device will always detect root no matter what you stock flash
