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

Assuming that you unlock the bootloader, root the phone and change the splash screen....
Reboot the phone.....
If Asus logo splash screen is black your bootloader is locked.
If Asus logo splash screen is white your bootloader is unlocked.

Why do you want to unlock the bootloader?
For the time being, there is no way to unlock the bootloader in MM. May be in the near future.
If you want to unlock the bootloader in MM, you need to temporarily downgrade the bootloader to Lollipop, unlock the bootloader and upgrade back to MM by the patched bootloader.

No.
To upgrade to MM from LP your firmware has to be at least 184.
You can use OTA or download the MM from ASUS site and install the MM in ADB environment with adb sideload command.
Do not upgrade MM via TWRP. MM install package does not compatible with TWRP. However, there is guide to modified the installation script in order to work with TWRP. The guide was written a year ago for Lollipop .
If your intention is to use custom rom in MM then you need an unlocked bootloader with custom recovery like TWRP.
In that case you need to unlock the bootloader in lollipop before you upgrade to MM. Like I said, there is no direct way to unlock bootloader in MM.
If your intention is to have rooted MM, then you do not need to unlock the bootloader.
You do not need to install the TWRP. You can use tethered TWRP to flash the super su zip file.

I answered your question in the other post.
Hello,
I am currently downloading 7.2.16 (MIUI8) Developer Rom for my Mi Max, so i could unlock its bootloader since i got the permissions to do so. I have a few questions for the time after i unlock the bootloader evenyually:
1. Can i go back to the latest stable global rom and still have my bootloader unlocked?
2. Can you give me a link to suitable TWRP/Root tutorial.
3. If i succeed with the flash of TWRP and Root, would i be still able to receive OTA updates.
Thank you.

Hello, this is the best guide to root your device, also if u go back to another rom then yes the BL it will be unlocked. I think that you wont recieving OTA updates. but like i done before, u can download the rom that you want and flash through the updater app from settings
Please, before you continue download the last version of the TWRP, the newiest ( https://dl.twrp.me/hydrogen/ )- SO use the new image.

There are literally dozens of unlocking guides right here in the forum.

Hello, I've read so many guides that I'm confused. I'm on the N910VVRS2CQB2 6.0.1 rom. I want to flash a note 7 port room on my device but I obviously need to unlock bootloader, flash TWRP and root.
I need someone who can help with a simple guide on how to achieve these (unlocking bootloader, flashing TWRP and rooting), thanks
