How to: B506 ROOT

I thought that i open a thread about how to root the new KitKat b506 rom. If anyone had a successfull rooting, post it here. (Without custom recovery)
BB

VRoot 1.7.6.5833 rooted my Kitkat. Stock recovery.
The only catch is, it installed a Chinese version of Supersu. In old Vroot, I could put an English Superuser in the System partition to replace it. But since the previous version, I couldn't do it. So now I have to put up with a partial English and Chinese allow-dialog. No big deal.

Vroot works. After root, install SuperSU, update binarys after install SuperSU replaces Chinese root app. Run SuperSU again to be sure all works fine.

Just a quick question if you don't mind?
Does the SuperSU app work properly, without FC when you open the app?
The reason I'm asking is that the toast message of SuperSU is really long ("SuperSU has granted blah blah blah blah blah" or something like that), and it annoys me! Whereas with Superuser, the Toast message is short and sweet (Superuser has been granted").
EDIT: Never mind, I see the latest SuperSu app on the play store is working perfectly, and I've now uninstalled Superuser.
So, I'd REALLY like to turn that toast message off, and I don't want to keep getting the popup saying that the su binary needs to be updated with Superuser.

Why are you so obsessed with rooting WITHOUT custom recovery? You can root with TWRP and revert back to stock recovery. What's the problem?

For B506 root use this via twrp recovery :https://www.dropbox.com/s/nyfd8hd4wj3o842/superuser.zip

superuser.zip is not needed. TWRP will fix root itself at first reboot from recovery. After boot you find a SuperUserInstaller in your applist.

Did not installed a Recovery before ROOT

Hey guys, this is my first post here, so if i intrude or break any rules, I'm sorry in advance.
I got a Zenfone 2 and rooted it by following the One-click ROOT method from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/zenfone-2-root-easy-t3114003
I did not install any CWM/TWRP on my phone since the instructions on the thread did not specify it. After the ROOT process I updated SuperSU using the "Normal" option and not the "TWRP/CWM" option
Everything worked perfectly, and then i installed Xposed Module from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/tool-installer-xposed-installer-zenfones-t2983589
After a while i received a notification that an OTA is available so i decided to uninstall Xposed and Full UNROOT by using Super SU. After all of the process were done, i check my phone via the Root Checker app, it said that "ROOT Access is not properly installed". After that i boot into Recovery Mode, cleaned everything, checked again with the app, but it still says "ROOT Access is not properly installed". What do i do to completely remove the ROOT Access? Do i need a Custom Recovery like CWM/TWRP for that?
P.S. I already flashed the latest official frimware from ASUS using ADB so now my phone is up to date, but after i checked, the ROOT Access is still there and it's still not properly installed, so decided to ROOT it again until i find a way to completely remove it.

I'm pretty sure that is just root checkers way of saying you are not rooted

Thanks for answering.
You think so? Because when i was using my Samsung S4, before i rooted it, i ran the Root Checker app, and it says "ROOT Access is not granted", also i still can't get OTA updates despite that message.

Try a different root check app and compare with its screenshots on playstore?

Can't root my ZenFone 2 Z008 (550ML)

[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.

As long as you don't install xposed I think you are OK.

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

With rooted it can work in certain conditions.
With xposed it cannot if it is active

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.

Ok thanks you. I see the threads in OP3 xda forum.
One more question : is the warrantly lost after rooting ?

Android 7 quick settings

I just got the ota on a new phone. One
my old one I was running pure nexus with systemless root with echo commands
On this one I'm non rooted on N
My question is, is there a way to systemless root and all without losing data? I saw a post about the CF auto root not wiping data. Can I run that, then run the unroot, then systemless root?

Are you sure CF auto root doesn't install systemless root? And why do you need systemless over system root?

I forgot to add that the only reason I want this is for the extended location menu in the status bar quick settings

You should check on systemless and Android pay. I think even that breaks it.

It wasn't breaking it about a month ago. As long as you do the echo commands it had been working for me.

Systemless root works fine with TWRP 3.0.2-2 and SuperSU 2.76 +
Will not wipe data, provided that your bootloader is already unlocked.

No idea on that. I used fastboot flash recovery twrp. Boot into recovery, install superSU. Pretty easy but need a computer to flash TWRP.
