Rooting and flashing Asus Zenfone 2?

Hello guys,
We are all excitied about this device and i myself am planning to buy it..But before buying i have some doubts that i want to get cleared ..
My first question is how do we root our asus zenfone 2? Is there any app/software available so that we can root it...I am aware that there is a Pre-rooted System.img available but is there any other method we can get root on our device??
Second question....How do we do a complete backup of our device? What if our device got bricked or we just wanted to flash our stock rom again...Is backup of rom necessary or we can just flash the stock rom provided by Asus website using ADB?
I am sorry to ask such questions....but i am new to asus zenfone and intel architecture.... I am currently using MTK device so am used to do a rom backup using MTKdroid Tools... I just want to know a method to un-brick my device in case sumthing happens....thank u guys

Hello
I also want to buy the ZP2 , because I have a OnePlus one but it missing one important 4g frequency on it...
I really love the style of this asus, I love hardware and the price, but I always used nexus phones because I can't imagine to buy an Android phone without flashing it and playing with kernel...
I hate CM too but want aosp/aokp rom. I am worried by seeing dev forum empty for the ZP2... It's just because he is ultra new our dev don't love Intel processors ?

Question about Asus zenfone 2 and its bootloader

Hello everyone.
My friend owns an Asus Zenfone 2 ze551ml and he would like to flash a custom rom (AICP) but he's still running Lollipop stock and, since AICP requires MM blobs, he was wondering if he had to upgrade to MM and then unlock the bootloader etc or if it was possible to flash MM bootloader while using Lollipop.
Also, sorry for the bad title but I couldn't think of a better one, hope you understand.

G928A firmware downgrade?

I'd firstly like to state I am new to the forums, and give my thanks to brilliant people who give guys like me somewhere to turn. Now, my question is, is it possible to downgrade from MM PJ1 to OGG or OJ1 or lollipop in general. I've seen a similiar thread about a UAE version or somethung that said it was possible. I have successfully downgraded a Note 3 from lollipop to kitkat, which has locked bootloader too if I'm correct..?, but I would like to have any input before I do this as it is my main phone. Thanks!

yes it is possible.

So in theory, i could downgrade to Lollipop and use the kernal auto-root to possibly get rotot? I just got an HTC 10 so I'm really itching to mess around with that s6 Edge Plus. Lol.

How do I jump from 5.1 (Lollipop) to 7.1 (Nougat)?

My g4's still on lollipop. Today i've finally unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP and now I want to switch the stock rom with something custom.
I have downloaded the latest RR rom which is 7.1.2 r17 and it is the ROM of my liking.
Do I just go ahead and flash this? I guess not...
I could not find an explanation.
I think I need a matching modem and bootloader, but I could not find that info anywhere.
Can someone please help me with the procedure?
I would appreciate a few hints on how to make this jump.
Thank you.
