So here goes, when I'm trying to find my kernel version all I get is 2.6.35.11, with no other information whatsoever. I reset it to factory settings (I bought it used off of ebay) to see if that may help and there was no such luck. So I took the liberty of taking a screenshot hoping that would you might be able to help me This is only my second android device (my first was a g1 that I rooted back when texts entered information into the terminal) so be gentle.

Now I'm not sure what to do at the moment, but any help would be awesome. I would really like to root my phone so I can get all this garbage software off of it. Thanks guys!
Not sure what you are trying to accomplish, you are running 2.3.5 as your android version, you can use SuperOneClick to root it ...
Or you can Use Odin to flash a custom recovery , and root it ...
and then you can install whatever custom ROM you want as long as it is compatible with your phone ...

I was going to try and link you to the method I found but I found something on AndroidNZ that I thought would work. I'm sorry if this sounds like a stupid thread, I'll try the things you guys just mentioned.

I have some questions before I try to root.
Now first of all, after rooting are there any other consequences other than bricking? Like the market stop working, icnoming calls, etc.. Has anyone had such problems?
2. Below are my phone and firmware informations:

Will the update.zip work on this without a problem? And last, if something goes wrong and I get an error and then I can't turn it on anymore, what's the way of restoring my phone back to normal? Is there a tutorial posted here somewhere? I'm really afraid of doing this as this is my first Android phone and I don't want to screw it up.

When will people learn? There is no best ROM. Go and try them out yourself, there is no best for everybody. Download one, give it a try, if you like it, keep it, if you don't, take another one. We can't tell you, which one is the best.
Besides, there have been many topics about that. Use search tool, you will see all such topics are locked for a reason. And so will this one.
This kind of questions keep coming out on Q&A. We need to add a sticky about this best rom issue.
Need mod to close thread.

RM means remove so if you see rm failed it just means it couldn't find that file to remove so i think you should be rooted. Check to see if you have superuser and all of that.
i installed super user and a root checker and i get nothing it says its not rooted
Just find a pc from a family member or friend and load up Odin cuz Mac to me is annoying in a whole lot of ways. When push comes to shove you gotta do what you gotta do.

Zenfone 2 quick resources

Their are more than a few ways to root ZF2.. I chose this method after a few failed attempts with some others..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/root-newbie-root-instructions-zenfone-2-t3114063
It is important to know that in order to use root properly, as I found out the hard way, an unlocked bootloader is a must before trying to add a recovery or rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/congrats-to-bootlocker-unlocked-t3138547
The reason I say this is because I took the first update and then rooted.. This was bad.. Almost every attempt to unlock bootloader afterward failed.. Couldn't update. Couldn't factory rest. So what was I to do? Luckily this wasn't my first rodeo.. After hours of xda searching and kicking my own ass, I started to remember," hey I have a brain let,s look up Asus support for phones".. Sure enough in black and white I was saved.. Now mind you guys.. You will have to use adb or fastboot tools as almost all of these instructions require sideloading or fastbooting.. So as GP I downloaded all above updates and went through them all erasing one after the other once updated to conserve the 16gig version I'm using. So grab updates add to root of internal storage using PC and USB cable, pull from USB after downloading and Boom..Phone will auto recognize update hit install and your good..
This thread was created for anyone with a similar problems or soft bricked their ZF2..
I bought this phone as a used phone from a local market, as i love custom roms it'd be great if i can safely flash it on this device? I'm confused because i know Htc is the most complicated when it comes to rooting. Im Currently rooted with twrp installed on this phone. Just wanted to know if the supercid and everything is on point for me to flash any custom rom? Also im not interested in stock roms and the im also worried about losing cellular signals. Because i dont really know of this device was factory sim unlocked or not. Thanks in advance.

Update: i safely managed to flash Insert Coin nougat custom rom on this device. I took the chances and got successful.
Gonna leave the thread in case somebody else gets in the same situation.
Please read the ReadMe thread for finding out why you shouldn't use the SCID on this phone and why you need to be careful with flashing RUUs (hint: you own a CDMA device). In addition, I'd recommend you getting back to a stock state and installing all available OTAs before you flash a custom rom. The needed guides and files should be available in the ReadMe thread, as well.
