Zenfone 2 Unlocker Official or not?

Hello, Mark here I have an Asus Zenfone 2 64 gb edition now I am wondering if there is an official unlock method yet or not ive done research but every time I google it all I get is unofficial unlocks and I am not sure if I would trust the unofficial site. Also I was wondering what most of the users on here think of zenUI and whether or not Asus loads to many of there own apps onto this phone or? I bought mine not that long ago from a place called memoryexpress In canada. Every site I have found with unofficial unlock has all these links to crappy sites that say fill out survey to download files. and I know though sites are a waste. Also sorry if this is the wrong forum section for this post.

Not. Just UNOFFICIAL.

If you mean bootloader unlock, you can do that from here... Search for one click bootloader unlock. Just be aware that once unlocked you CAN'T relock bootloader... If you want root then easiest is to use Shakalak's pre-rooted rom in Android Developement section of the forum... You don't need bootloade unlocked to root your phone however if you want to replace recovery with TWRP and install custom rom/kernels then you need to unlock the bootloader...

No problems with Zenui, If you don't like the theme or icons, swipe up from the bottom of screen. You can change theme from there and load icon packs in too...
With 4gb of Ram even Touchwizz would be flawless...

Mercurial me? I run different roms, themes, launchers and apps every other day... No phone I've had has had the same rom for more than a week...
If you are happy with what you have then stay, it all comes down to functionality and what you like...

HAHA Okay thanks and id run many roms but sadly the only unlocker for my phone would require that I downgrade my firmware and I am not sure if I am able to at the moment. and sure ill stick with my fav launcher from play store then haha

Root mate se (aka 7xs)

Anyone know how to root the mate se which is basically the 7x but with more ram and storage? There doesn't seem to be a section for the device yet.

The Mate SE is literally the international Honor 7x. So hopefully someone can confirm if the existing methods for root, bootloader unlock, and TWRP will work on the Mate SE.

My Mate SE is running TWRP and it's rooted.
Follow the guide here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/how-to-root-honor-7x-international-t3716056
I had to sideload SuperSU because my phone files are encrypted and I couldn't just run it on the phone. Installing TWRP worked perfectly though.

Thanks for the info. I'm assuming no go on the AOSP 8.0 build working on the Mate SE?

Sorry for double posting but would you be willing to share said backup? My Mate SE is bricked and I have no way of fixing it with the official firmware being currently unavailable:crying:

I can't get any TWRP to boot in fast boot. I don't want to flash it into recovery just yet.

I found this guy through a youtube video he had posted talking about and showing this being done so i contacted him via the chat box on the site and he was with me immediately and got on and got the unlock code extracted from my phone in 5 to 10 minutes tops throughout the whole transaction of paying thru paypal which is a protected payment is services should not work but the guy offers refunds if it is not successful anyways but has been successful with just about everyone it looks like. Happy unlocking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HONOR 8X MAX root

Hello Friends:
There isn't an HONOR 8X MAX forum, so I have to post here (for now).
Recognizing that there are non-trivial differences between the HONOR 8X and HONOR 8X MAX, does anyone know if a root solution is soon coming for the HONOR 8X MAX?
For a long time I lived happily Ad-free on my NEXUS-6 (which is still going strong as a backup phone), but I really need root on my 8X MAX.
Sadly, I don't have those kinds of skills to do it (or else I would for all to benefit).
Any ideas, rumblings, thoughts?
Thank you (and happy holidays)! ??

There is a way to do it, just look in this forum as there is a root solution already if you don't want to use it, you can always use adguard for example, as it works quite well

I'll have to look harder because I couldn't find one for the 8X MAX, only the 8X. If you have a URL for it, I'd appreciate it. If not, no worries. Thank you.
P.S. I'm trying to avoid ads in apps in addition to the browser. Not that I'm selfish... I nearly always buy ad-free versions of items (including reasonably-priced yearly subscriptions) to support developers. But some apps don't offer that option.
(._.) Not to get off-topic, I'll welcome Root + AdAway again. Thanks.

Hi... I have the ARE-AL10 model. From your signature, yours may be a ARE-AL00 model (I suspect). I think it may be Snapdragon 660 versus 636. I don't know if it makes a difference?

I guess there's no root -- so far/ to date -- for HONOR 8X MAX.
These are great phones at value prices (unlike the $1,000/yr. upgrade treadmill that Samsung would like to continue).
But we do need ROOT to overcome oddities with Chinese phone builds (i.e. Huawei, Xiaomi) - several of which are not trivial and really problematic. :-/

Would the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro root/twrp work with The honor 8x max ?

If you are just look for adblocker you can get it even without root
use Blokada ad blocker it doesnt require root.

Thank you. I find that these no-root ad blockers don't work well within Apps (and what gets through varies from app to app), including Blokada which I tried. Also, I require root for other reasons. Thank you for the tip, though.

Hi:
Which TWRP and instructions for installing it are you referring to? I would like to read how to install it. Thank you.

You have to register with 4pda and believe me it's a pain in the ass to figure out the captha because it's all in Russian,if shao would post a link to a non Russian site would be great but he still hasn't yet

Ah okay, thank you. I think I visited the same site you're mentioning and stayed away because, being in Russian, could lead to mistakes and brick the phone. ?
Forgive my ignorance, you mentioned "Shao". I don't know who that is. Did he create the 'root'? Thanks again.

Yeah he made TWRP compatible with 8x max

I would really like to see devs work on this one. I ended up getting this phone because i was a few bucks short of getting the V40. Having the Hi-Fi audio DAC really makes music sound better.
But honestly it's not even close to competing with V4A. Which i guess now i know for sure, i NEED this on my phone.
I would love to root my phone one day just for that. As long as it's stable and works good for that (And preferably Magisk and Adaway as well..) I need it done.

Hi I am interested in this service. I will be buying one in a few days and would like to have this service done. Can anyone pm me? Seems I can't.

He uses a Octoplus Pro box and hooked me up. Very fair $20 for permanent Bootloader Unlock. I mean common.... great deal. GaihPhapAndroid. PM if any Questions.

Hello everyone! Need some help PLEASE!

I am new here and new to the custom rom scene. I am looking for some help with my new phone.
I bought a new Motorola G7 Optimo (XT1952DL) (Its about all I could afford) It came with Android 9 which is what I want. However, it auto updated itself to Android 10 which I do not want.
Android 10 has made recording phone calls, (which IS legal in my country/state, basically impossible. I need this feature more than any other feature I can think of right now.
I have been told that downgrading back to Android 9 is not possible. I am wondering a couple things and I hope someone here will be kind enough to help Me.
1. Does anyone know of any way (paid app or otherwise) on Android 10 that I can record my calls, non speaker phone, without alerting the other party they are being recorded? (Again I live in a 1 party state which means I dont have to inform the other person I am recording and for obvious reasons I would like them to not know because I feel like this will either make them just lie, hang up, block my calls, or something similar.)
2. If this is no longer possible on Android 10 does anyone know how to downgrade to Android 9 and make it so that my phone will not automatically install Android 10 on its own?
3. If neither is possible for whatever reason, I would be interested in using a custom rom that would allow this feature and possibly add more features. The problem is that I dont know which is the best rom or how to install a custom rom, although I am very good with computers, so a little hand holding would be necessary.
** Not sure if this is allowed but I would be willing to donate a small tip in USD via paypal or something if someone could successfully help Me with this task. Call recording is something I feel should be standard as anyone can just simply lie to You or scam You on the phone and without proof You are kinda screwed.
- Thanks for any help, suggestions, etc. I hope this is a good community to help Me with my problem. - Regards

The device might be downgradable but you would need to unlock the bootloader.
Or there maybe a root option with the bootloader unlocked.

Well ...
Well the software Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant did in fact wipe and reset my phone to "factory" but it kept Android 10 eventhough it shipped with Android 9 so basically it didnt work.
If I loaded my phone with Cynogen (sp) or something similar that is based off Android 9 would that work? If so do You know of a link to a tutorial on installing that or have a recommendation on which to use?
- Thanks!

No lmsa will not downgrade firmware.
Factory reset only wipes user data it doesn't change firmware.

If you want to downgrade firmware you need to use
RSD Lite or fastboot.exe and bootloader will need to be unlocked before downgrade.
