Hey. I rooted my zenfone 2 using the quick method of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/root-newbie-root-instructions-zenfone-2-t3114063 and that permanently replaced my recovery. I bricked it by installing an update.
What should I do?
Thanks in advance.

Is there root for the latest firmware 2.19.40.22? Also is there an official way to unlock the bootloader or just the rooted/adb method?
You can use the one click root system for the ZenFone 2, I found it at chinaphonearena.com and unlock bootloader instructions are in ZenFone 2 General section, you can't unlock the bootloader in .22 you have to downgrade to .19 or .20 to unlock bootloader

I used the one click method then only downgraded the bootloader and was able to unlock and get twrp installed. Thanks for the direction
Hi,
I saw there is a tool now where it is all GUI based and i can now unlock the bootloader and root my device. If i used this tool to root my phone and install something like TWRP but stayed with the default ROM that comes with my ZenFone 2 (Specifically the ze551ml ASUS_Z00AD) and i receive an OTA update from Asus, will it brick/do something funny with my device?
Also, is there a way to deroot my device if i decide i dont want it anymore? Cheers.
You need to remove root and have stock recovery, yes you can remove root...
Be careful of bootloader unlock tools, especially the official one, it tends to not work properly...
stay in stock recovery when you receive an OTA Update just unroot and install , be sure that you didnt modify/uninstall any system app.
You can unroot and modify ota file to work with TWRP. Guide is here somewhere. That way you can have updates and TWRP going for you.
Hey, I have my bootloader unlocked and my phone is rooted. If I unroot my phone through Super SU and update via OTA will it be updated without any issues?

Hi,
I had my note 4 rooted with twrp. I got mm installed but now twrp and root is gone, any of you guys have an easy solution? I tried using odin to flash twrp but it is failing.

How did you flash Marshmallow? If you didn't do it this way you'll need to downgrade to 5.1.1, unlock that bootloader, then follow the directions in the link. In other words, there is no easy solution.
Perhaps you should have done your homework first.
