Can't root my ZenFone 2 Z008 (550ML) - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

[SOLVED]
Hi guys, I'm having troubles trying to root my ZF2 550ML.
I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and rooted it from the official Asus ROM, then installed some custom roms, but I did once wipe everything because I had a bootloop, then reinstalled CM 13 and it's working great, but I tried to root with method 2 & 3 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/asus-zenfone-2-flashing-recovery-mode-t3096596 but it wasn't working, it gave me bootloop as well...
I downloaded the official ROM from Asus, should I wipe everything then reinstall the ROM from the recovery?
Thanks for the help

Up guys, please

CM13 is pre-root. Activate it in developper options. You can also flash supersu zip via twrp if you want but not necessary.

Oh I didn't know that! Thank you !

I activated from the dev options but I get a bootloop when flashing SU with TWRP, what can I do?

You don't need supersu with Cm13! Once you activate root in DO root management is handled by privacy guard.

I fixed this issue. Dev>Root access was NOT the issue.
SuperSU tried to update and must have failed. I had to re-flash an older SuperSU then let it update again.

If your using Cyanogenmod. Superuser is already built in. You will always get problems if you install any other SuperSU or superuser app.

Su binary

After some days ( and updates) on CM13 my Superuser binary is outdated.
So i flashed the newest SuperSu from chainfire (2.74 i think)
But the message appears again.
The update in the SuperSu APP didn't work, also i can Boot in TWRP in the APP.
Has anybody a solution for this Problem ?
Thank you

Oops, sorry, I misread you already flashed with twrp
Perhaps try another version? (like v2.65)

well : I am also having trouble rooting COS 13 ...
I received a (new) Swift for a friend and when I flash SuperSU v2.46 from recovery, the phone reboots and only shows (forever):
Code:
cyanogen
mod
ready
I tried several custom recoveries (twrp 2.7 and 3.0 and CM-13.0).
To recover I needed to fastboot re flash stock.
Note that I could once root COS 12.1 on another Swift phone for another friend just fine.
So this seems a 13.0 specific issue. Perhaps how SuperSU handles Android 6.
Good news is I can take a TWRP backup. But I would also want to be
able to take Titatium Backup and do other things that require root.
Does this ring a bell?
Thanks for enlightening me how to root COS 13.0

Unfortunately this does not make a difference, system boot stays on cyanogen/mod/ready logo.
I had to recover back to TWRP backup.
Anyone who successfully rooted COS 13.0 please raise a hand ...
update (1)
I tried to hack my way around by putting recent CM 13.0 su binary in mounted system/xbin (+ symbolic link in system/bin) via adb shell TWRP, and now SuperSU starts, but: then finally I end up same situation as Lorddoener : supersu fails to update su (normal and twrp)...
Again: any help / ideas welcome
update (2)
One needs systemless SuperSU... starting from (stable) UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip

You have to unlock the bootloader too. Unblocking the bootloader will wipe your device.
As a rule of thumb, I always unlock bootloader on day one of purchasing my devices. (mostly Nexus or OP so far). This way you avoid potentially losing data.
Or u can download systemless xposed which will allow to turn on and off to use Android pay

root (access) is obtained via apps like SuperSU
xposed has nothing to do with root access - it is an additional framework allowing for low level modifications (like amplify, etc)
unlocking bootloader is always the first step, from there you can flash supersu (which is NOT just an APK file).
there's a number of threads about it that can explain it better than i.

Can't keep root on my op3

Hello guys,
I have unlocked and rooted my op3 a while ago, installed freedom os 1.6.1 . But now from one day to the other when ever i try to access a app that needs root, there is just a toast popping up saying "couldn't get root access".
So i tried rooting with the op3 toolkit from the xda forums, but the systemless supersu, still has no root access.
Anybody knows a solution?

In the aroma installer I selected the root option, or am I missing something?

Does this implies that systemless su does not work correctly on this phone ? Is there a known reason ?
It works very well systemless.
Not for me, i don't have root and i can't regain it in freedom os

custom recovery on my OnePlus 5t without using a PC

I wonder if it is possible to install a custom recovery on my OnePlus 5t without the use of a PC. The bootloader is already unlocked but I lost my existing recovery while updating to the latest OxygenOS Version. I searched XDA but couldn't find a guide for that.
Thanks for your help.

Well I've never personally installed a custom recovery without a PC. If you're still rooted you can maybe try flashify, but you probably lost root too.

If you are rooted you can do it with Root Toolcase app which can be installed from Playstore. I do it with Root Toolcase.

Thanks for your ideas and thoughts! Unfortunatly I was not clear enough in explaining my situation. Yes, I also lost root. Therefore I need to get root back an then the custom recovery. I'm at the camping site at the moment and I don't have access to any PC... Is it possible to root my device without a PC?
