[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.

Hey dudes,
Is there a possibility to root a Nexus 5X with Dev Preview 5 easily? I wouldn't experiment much on my Nexus 5X and want to have a quite easy way to root the Device.
Thanks!

If your drive is encrypted you cannot root without losing all your data. You will have to save your data and files for restoration after rooting.

Wrong. See the post above yours.
Also flashing an old vendor image makes TWRP work even if the phone is encrypted. So one could flash TWRP, an old vendor image, SuperSU, then the correct vendor image.

Wouldn´t CF_Autoroot wipe \data?
Im asking, because I don´t want to test it, since my last backup is from before Preview 3 and I dont want to loose my data

No, it does not. But you should back up your data anyway.
Edit: are you encrypted? It may wipe your data. You may want to do the other method I described.

Does this work with the final version of Nougat?
It does work, but Android pay will not if you use it. Atleast that was my experience.
For sh!ts and giggles I unrooted (by flashing dp5 with the -w flag removed) then rerooted with CF-Autoroot and it didnt wipe /data. Just thought Id post this for anyone else that may have the same question.
Can you install custom kernels without a custom recovery?

Some yes. Download the kernel zip you want to install and unzip it. If it contains the boot.img then flash that with fastboot.
Though now that twrp works with encrypted phones on N there isn't a good reason not to use it.

I tried -1 on my encrypted phone, two issues:
1) TWRP doesn't stick. It will revert to stock recovery after 1-2 restarts.
2) Flashing SU doesn't work. Get's an error due to the encryption.

Did you allow twrp to make modifications to the system (prompt at first boot into recovery)? Is your system set to require a pin/password/pattern at boot?

TWRP didn't prompt me to allow modifications at first boot into recovery.
No, not set to require any type of pw at boot.
Hi I'm just wondering, I'm on whatever rom the phone came with. Official OOS latest update. No root. No unlocked bootloader... For the first time ever with a phone I think?
I'm tempted by the community builds but just want to know for certain,
Do I need to unlock my bootloader? Someone said this and I thought that was strange considering you apparently side load it via adb in stock recovery.
Will I lose my data? If I will then I'll wait until after my 4 days at work as I need my phone as it is really. If not I'll flash straight away.
Thanks!!
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk
You can sideload without unlocking bootloader.
But you'll want to unlock the bootloader to make any further modifications after sideloading CB.
Also the phone will be wiped and reset to factory settings on unlocking the bootloader.
Thanks for the reply. So if I side load without unlocking bootloader it will be just like an update and no data wipe will happen?

Actually I haven't tried it but theoretically no data loss or errors should happen as you are still switching to a Marshmallow based ROM and that too from Oneplus itself.
You're good to go.
If retaining stuff is important to u, u should root and unlock bootloader, it does not void warranty, use titanium backup and just go through trwp, so if anything does ever happen in the future u will have ur backups
I've always used root and stuff but lately I'm enjoying no root. Using Android Pay etc.

Hi guys. I was wondering if it's possible to unlock bootloader, install twrp, root with magisk or supersu, flash stock recovery, then relock the bootloader.
I'm asking this because I have no intention of changing the stock rom but I want to have root just in case an app needs it. Also, when I startup the phone, there's that annoying message. Aaaaand I still want to banking apps and Android pay. Thank you!
Edit. Don't try this because it will brick your device. tried, confirmed, bricked.
Nope, won't work. Try locking bootloader with modified system and you'll end up with a brick.

If u try to lock bootloader back make sure to install stock recovery 1st

Maybe, dunno for sure, I don't use magisk.
You may try if you want, just keep that unbrick tool handy.

yep, you were right. after locking the bootloader, it gets in a bootloop, and restarts forever. luckily i was able to enter stock recovery and was able to flash 7.0 again. cheers
Back to your first post - you can have root with magisk and still pass safetynet (so banking apps etc will work), but the bootloader has to remain unlocked. Again, I can't go into details as I'm personally not using this, but I know that it works from what I'm reading on this forum.
You just can't get rid of that message on boot, otherwise having an unlocked bootloader is not really an issue.
Btw, even that message can be skipped by pressing the power button again, no need to wait 5 seconds.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk
I have an unlocked bootloader and have magisk installed. SafetyNet passes with hide enable. I can confirm Android Pay works. My banking app works, but I'm sure which banking app you're using.
I too can confirm that when magisk is installed and safetynet can be passed, my banking apps work totally fine here in Germany

Magisk is fantastic, not only is it starting to open a new xposed like module repository, but being able to pass safety net and have root is awesome..

So if your device is on Omni, you can enable advance Reboot to allow you to boot into

- Recovery
- Bootloader

I suppose that may be able to restore to stock by using the dirty flash method..... I wouldn't do it. It may put your phone into a bootloop.
On the other hand,
Did you flash Twrp to your phone? Is your phone rooted?
Do you have a locally installed backup of your stock rom?
If your answer is yes to both questions then you should be able to restore from within Twrp in recovery mode.

Are you wanting to restore so you can return the phone?
If so keep in mind that you bootloader has been modified, even if you are able to restore the stockware. Personally, if I were in your situation. I would just wait for the USB board replacement, or pay a local insured technician to repair the device for you.
I have read stories about Le Eco replacing phones under warranty, even with a custom Rom installed. However, under their current financial situation they may now operate under a different policy.
Finally, if the usb port is broken while bother restoring when you are not able to charge the phone?

A few days ago I posted a recovery with an unlocked bootloader. I can not post the link at this moment because I am about to fall asleep. It's in the Recoveries and ROMs section.
After you restore the backup, TWRP will ask you if you want to install TWRP. Look at my past post for directions.
Do not leave TWRP without installing it. Otherwise if the phone bricks, it will be a lot more hassle to un-brick it.
Finally, again I would not do it if I were in your shoes. Get the USB fixed first.
It really should not cost very much to solder the USB slot back into place... Its not hard to do, if you know how to solder small components correctly.
If the card is on its way, wait for it and you'll have no regrets.
Just remember to use a heat gun to loosen the glue as you take apart the phone, and the screen is damaged easily by flexing.
Surely there are videos on YouTube for doing these repairs.
