Choose unroot from app SU.

But won't I lose the warranty just for rooting?

No

You might for unlocking bootloader if Asus manages to find out a way to detect it, but not for rooting on a locked bootloader.

Nice : thank you all

I just sent in my asus zenfone for warranty repair. I also just unlocked my bootloader. The Sim card was not locking in on Sim 1. Lets see if they know that my bootloader is unlocked.

[Q] R800X How to tell if Bootloader Unlocked

A month or two ago I unlocked my bootloader and rooted my R800X on 2.3.2. Ever since 2.3.3 has came out, I've wanted to update, but I cannot due to my bootloader being unlocked. Thanks to some very helpful instructions by a fellow XDA member, I did the instructions to relock my bootloader, but I am still rooted. Is that normal? How can I check to see if my bootloader is locked? I really want 2.3.3
You can check it by trying to use fasboot. If your locked, fastboot commands won't work (they'll come back with "you need root first" or something like that). Also, I think you need to do something to get rid of root and put the rom just like it was stock or the install might fail. Might try a factory reset. Good luck!

I think it would be best if you flash your stock firmware to your phone first....as i have seen i lost both root & bootloader unlock after i did so...

[Q] apps on startup

Is there a way to prevent some apps to load when I turn on my phone (like "Whatsapp", that I don´t use) ?
Is there something like "/etc/init.d" ? Need to be root ?
Thanks
Yes, try Gemini app manager from the market. You can use that to disable auto start off different apps
And yes you do need root for that

hummm, I was trying to avoid root. If I get root access, I will delete all that trash...
Root access is easily available, non permanent, you can revert it, AND it does not affect warranty,.as long as you flash back original ROM before you send it.
Use zergrush exploit.
Btw, unlocking bootloader DOES void warranty

type this keypad *#*#7378423#*#* and under bootloader see if it is bootloader unlock allowed :"Yes"
if its YES then you can unlock your bootloader bro
Note: Unlocking bootloader makes you loose your warranty but still you can relock it back
You can root your device even if it is Bootloader Locked or Unlocked..
try it out and search in google bro you'd find better solutions than mine :good:

For rooting .42 firmware and below use Zergrush method by Doomlord (file named DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip )
For rooting .62 firmware and above use Eroot (it's in chinese, but is easy to understand)
No need for unlocking bootloader, this is just for root stock firmware

Some root and unlock question before attmept

This phone is on latest version 4.4.2 kit kat.
I've seen the root videos on YouTube and haven't seen any of them unlock the bootloader. Is that not necessary?
Secondly if I mess up in the root process and soft brick it, what software can I use to restore back to normal. Is there one made by LG? Like apples "iTunes" and Samsung "Odin"
I'm wanting to root to unlock phone to use with tmobile.

Use ioroot25 for root.
Use auto-rec for TWRP. Then follow unlock methods to use gsm carriers. Just know you will only get hspa. As the phone has different radios

OK thanks. Auto rec is to get it out of a bricked state? Yes I am aware of no lte.
Also is this a factory unlock? Will I lose it if I need to do a restore to stock rom unrooted?

Auto-rec will install TWRP recovery. Unlock boot loader and give kernel that works with it.
With recovery you can backup and restore if something goes wrong.

They have mentioned more than once that root access cannot be obtained on MM unless the bootloader was unlocked !
So, don't get hopes on something that cannot be done ?
