Help with Suhide in Zenfone2

Hello guys, somebody can help me install Suhide on Zenfone 2? I've tried the guides around, everything went fine thru the install in temporary TWRP, but when I relock the bootloader I end up in a bootloop.
My steps:
1-Unlocked phone with the unlock.bat
2-Turn off Cellphone
3-Started in Bootloader
4-Flashed Temporary TWRP
5-Go into Recovery
6-Flashed Magisk, SuperSu for magisk (2.76), dropped command in terminal echo "SYSTEMLESS=true" > /data/.supersu, flashed SuperSu (2.78)
7-Reboot into Bootloader
8-Relock phone with restore.bat
Even if I just flash SuperSu for Magisk (2.76) and doesn't update to 2.78 my phone ends in Bootloop.
Are I missing something?

Try using the tool. It might be easier. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3458145

so, I'm supposing that the fifth option in this tool is SuHide instead of PHH?

Best to use the systemless Magisk root. You can easily turn root off and on with the app. Read through the thread there a little. The tool does a lot.

I was using Magisk+PHH, I want to use Suhide to test, because I used to use SuperSU.

I'd recommend not mixing Magisk and suhide, since suhide depends on SuperSU's su.d method for systemless add-ons.
If you are intent on using Magisk, make sure you are flashing the v6 zip that has been patched for zf2 or else you will get stuck on first boot. After Magisk is installed, you can install SuperSU 2.76 for Magisk from the Magisk thread without issue. To upgrade to SuperSU 2.78, do not flash any zip, just reboot and upgrade the SuperSU apk from the play store and do the upgrade as prompted when you open the app.
If you want to use the latest suhide (v0.53) with SuperSU v2.78-SR1, you need a patched zip to install SuperSU and allow zf2 to boot. I've attached the zip here, though I've only tested it on my own ZE551ML. Credits for original patch go to @shakalaca. With this zip, follow the instructions as given in the suhide thread.
Good luck.

Abex, thank you, I will try tomorrow when I arrive on my Job, there is my PC with all the stuff to do, I will post news if everything went fine or goes bad

thanks. I was searching this for a long time.
is there a place where to find @shakalaca's contributions to Zenfone?

Abex, when I flash SuperSu 2.76 or 2.78-R1, even the version you've posted I got stuck into loading screen.

Hi all.
I am currently having the exact same issue with my Zenfone 2 ZE551ML. Things I have learned (Which may be very obvious to some)
The device cannot boot with the bootloader unlocked.
Locking the Bootloader with any kind of custom recovery installed causes the device to only boot into the bootloader. Recovery or stock ROM cannot be accessed.
The only way around this is to unlock the bootloader, flash the stock recovery and then relock the bootloader.
Steps I have taken:
1) Unlock the bootloader
2) Boot into the bootloader and flash latest TWRP recovery for ZF2 (twrp-3.0.2-0-Z00A.img)
3) Reboot into TWRP recovery
4) Flash the Xposed Uninstaller (latest version)
5) Flash the Magisk Uninstaller (latest version)
6) Flash Magisk-v6_repack_for_zf2_601.zip
7) Flash SuperSU-v2.76-magisk.zip
8) Enter TWRP Terminal, issue command - echo "SYSTEMLESS=true" > /data/.supersu
**Note at this point, I get no response from the terminal, just the next command line. I think I should be expecting one? And therefore something is failing at this step?**
9) Flash SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031-fix_for_zf2.zip
10) Flash xposed-v86.2-sdk23-topjohnwu.zip (I am lead to believe that this is the only version that won't trip Safetynet, even later versions like 86.5 do)
11) Flash suhide-0.53.zip
12) Reboot to Bootloader
13) Flash the stock recovery
14) Lock Bootloader and reboot
This causes a bootloop on the splashscreen (White on black, so bootloader is locked) and on one attempt, a notification before the splashscreen informing me the device failed verification. The only solution I have found for this is to re-unlock the bootloader, enter recovery (stock) and sideload UL-Z00A-WW-4.21.40.134-user.zip
Then reboot to bootloader, lock bootloader again and reboot. No data missing or anything, but the phone is not rooted.
I'm wondering if suhide or superSU require the bootloader to be unlocked permanently- in which case, we need a solution for that. Could this be the case?
Or is it that we need a superSU v2.76 fix for Zf2 version, much like the v2.78 graciously posted by abex?
Perhaps it makes sense to sideload the Stock Marshmallow ROM at some point via TWRP, BEFORE returning to stock recovery? But even then, I think flashing it before superSU v2.76 seems pointless, as there are issues there- and does flashing it after simply wipe out all the hard work?

@kemp7, @Alterius:
If, after flashing a zip, you are getting stuck on boot or find that you can only boot to recovery, you can try flashing the boot.img from UL-Z00A-WW-4.21.40.134-user.zip in fastboot. This should get rid of any modifications to the boot image made by the various systemless mods you may have flashed previously. Any files added to the filesystem will still be present, but there should be no hook to load any systemless scripts like su.d or magisk. If you were using a custom kernel, it will no longer be installed. Of course, if you reflash the MM update zip in its entirety, this will be included, though I thought I should mention this to save you some time.
Before flashing any zip, you should try to get a general idea of what it will modify. If you've been flashing many zips and getting errors, it's a good idea to go back to a clean slate before trying something new. In fact, every time you flash a recent SuperSU zip, the script actually restores the boot image to a backup that was made the first time you flashed a recent SuperSU zip. This behaviour may be desirable, or it may unwittingly uninstall a custom kernel....
I also have to reiterate that its probably a bad idea to mix Magisk-based systemless mods with ones based on SuperSU's su.d.
Regarding the zip of SuperSU v2.78-SR1 that I posted, I'm not sure if it will work if you re-lock your bootloader afterwards. I can only report what I've tested and I keep my phone unlocked. That being said, the ZF2 can definitely boot with an unlocked bootloader, modified recovery, root, kernel, etc. Note that for MM rom, you will need to flash a modified TWRP in order to boot in to android (3.0.2-M1).
In this thread, I've reported a working instance of SuperSU v2.78-SR1, systemless xposed v86.2, and suhide v0.53 on my ZF2 with unlocked bootloader and TWRP-3.0.2 installed. To get there, I've only just followed the instructions on the suhide thread, except with the zips replaced with the ones patched for our ZF2 that I posted in that thread.
If you are having trouble, go back to stock MM rom. You can do this by flashing the stock recovery.img from the 4.21 zip in fastboot, then ADB sideload the whole zip. I think you should be able to do this with unlocked bootloader. Reboot into android to make sure all your data is still there.
Then, you can flash TWRP 3.0.2 for MM roms using fastboot. Your bootloader will need to be unlocked for permanent custom recovery. You might be able to dothe following with temporary TWRP (fastboot boot TWRP.img), but I haven't tested this.
From there you can follow the instructions in the suhide thread: flash SuperSU v2.78-SR1, (optionally reboot first, there will be a couple boot cycles before android starts up), flash suhide v0.53, (optional reboot), optionally flash systemless xposed v86.2, wipe dalvik cache, reboot.

Abex, thank for all the support again!
I've downloaded all the modified files for zenfone 2 from your posts ( SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031-fix_for_zf2.zip and xposed-v86.2-sdk23-topjohnwu_repack_for_zf2.zip ), except the suhide installer (suhide-0.53.zip) that is the original file from suhide thread.
For Unlock & reLock Bootloader I was using one tool I found here on XDA that comes with two files (unlock.bat & restore.bat from this thread) but it makes my phone unbootable if I just unlock it if I remember correctly.
Theres any good and safe tool that do you recommend for just Unlock the bootloader so I can give I try?
Today I did a mess on my phone while trying to figure out the things, so I reflashed a RAW imagem from LL .196 and did the upgrade with the MM zip on Internal Card, then did a factory reset afterwards, so I'm basically "starting fresh" , so I believe that theres no trace from my old messy tries.

Installed full 3.2.8, help with xposed?

So I wont say I tried everything but have been reading and trying solutions and they havent worked for me. Maybe someone can point me in a different right direction. So far I clean installed 3.2.8(twice btw), I'm fastbooting into twrp 3.0.2-1, flashed supersu 2.78 SR4 and flashed xposed framework v87.
Sometimes xposed framework v87 flashes in twrp and when I open xposed installer it says xposed framework is not installed. I attempt to then unintstall and try again and sometimes it fails in twrp with this message "cp: cant create '/system/xposed.prop':Read-only file system". I attached a screenshot. I'm also running xposed installer 3.1.1, also tried 3.0.1 by dvdandroid. Any suggestions?

Have you tried Magisk and Systemless Xposed?

Are you asking if I tried it in the past on my onplus3? I didnt see anyone trying it now with 3.2.8 so I didnt think of it.

I'm using it on 3.2.8 currently and all works well so far.
Here's how I did it: Clean flashed 3.2.8 using sideload with official recovery, then booted twrp-3.0.2-1 (from twrp.me), flashed Magisk v9 and flashed the phh-superuser. After booting into android, installed phh's SuperUser from Playstore, and installed Magisk Manager, then installed Xposed systemless arm64 sdk23 using the inbuilt downloader (or use the zip on the thread).

Thanks it all worked and went green except when I tried to download the systeless arm64 sdk23 from within magisk manager. I ended using a test1 version and it went through. Now I wasnt even planning on using magisk but how are you using magisk? When I used it before it was for android pay but I thought that all broke.

Installing xposed breaks SafetyNet anyways and I have no use of Android pay or Pokemon Go etc.
But, with magisk I can install and mod system files without making changes in the system partition like dpi, Viper, SystemUI mods etc. I really like it for the ease of that.

I have installed Xposed on 3.2.8 with a success from the beginning. Steps I've taken:
1. Dirty flashing full zip OOS 3.2.8.
2. Flashing systemless SuperSU from Chainfire (you have to:
Code:
echo SYSTEMLESS=true >> /data/.supersu
for systemless).
3. Flashing Xposed v87-test version, which now disappeared from dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk23/arm64/
4. Flashing ElementalX 0.28.
I was upgrading from 3.2.6.

OxygenOS 3.2.7 with v87.1 Magisk version installed. Got stuck at boot animation when dirty flashing to oos 3.2.8. Any ideas? Is there compatibility problem with xposed modules?

I would use a newer recovery, twrp-3.0.2-23-oneplus3 is the latest and I've had zero issues with it. I uploaded it to drive vs searching for it. Next, as stated, install Xposed via the app, version 3.0.1 by dvdandroid is what I'm using and after selecting arm64 api23 , granting root, it installs, reboot and done.

How to install Magisk & Xposed? I keep getting bootloops.. "no digest file found"

How to install Magisk & Xposed? I keep getting bootloops.. "no digest file found"
So I have a Pixel XL, stock, nougat 7.1.2 (Aug NHGE47Q).
I have tried the following steps:
Boot TWRP 3.1.1-1
Flash TWRP 3.1.1-1
Flash Elemental 7.1.2 kernel
Flash newest Magisk 14.5 beta (since 14.0 doesn't support pixel, right?)
Flash TWRP 3.1.1-1
What am I doing wrong?
I tried it a few times and no good. I did notice it says something about "no digest file found", which I assume is the problem.. ? I tried a combination of things like with and without wiping cache/dalvik. Or not flashing TWRP at the end. I search around and couldn't find updated instructions on this process. Help will be appreciated!
P.S. Also, if I update to Oreo, I can't get Xposed, right? (as in the systemless version via Magisk) because that's the only reason why I haven't updated yet.

I'm not sure about Oreo I think you can but you can't get certain modules or things like Xposed but double check that cuz I'm not sure
Secondly if you wanna flash 14.2 or 14.3 at the bottom of the magisk post where you download it will have the different versions to choose from any version after 14.0 supports the pixel
try flashing magisk by itself and see if that helps I know when I flash it with anything else it just doesn't show up and doesn't work but if you want when it bootloops flash the uninstaller and flash your boot image and that will fix the bootloop but do it again copy the log from twrp and put it on your computer and upload it here it will say exactly where it fails and what's wrong with it so we can help better

According to elementalx.org/devices/pixel/ the right elemental kernel is 1.15.
I've done this exact process too and ran into many issues, I would recommend as follows, I've had a lot of success with this. I got Magisk working under 14.2 , twrp 3.1.1-1 , and elemental 1.15. I could not get any of them working correctly with any other versions or in any other order - this worked for me.
reflash stock with flash_all and factory reset
fastboot boot twrp 3.1.1-1
check "never show" and swipe
adb sideload twrp-3.1.1-1.zip
adb sideload VerifiedBootSigner-v8.zip
reboot recovery
sideload again
adb sideload your new ROM here if you want that
adb sideload twrp-3.1.1-1 again, had to do this for PureNexus, cause recovery was overwritten
adb sideload VerifiedBootSigner-v8.zip again
reboot recovery
adb sideload ElementalX-P-1.15.zip
reboot recovery (might not be necessary)
adb sideload Magisk-v14.2(1420).zip - I got this from the Arise Aroma installer package in another thread
adb sideload VerifiedBootSigner-v8.zip again
reboot system, enable systemless hosts and magisk hide on google services framework and play store. magisk hide only works with a kernel that supports it so if your elemental is working you should be fine.
reboot again, then install busybox, I used stericsons from play store. I also installed the selinux switcher for permissive mode. I installed these to get Arise / Viper to work and I think they are required for xposed too.
Magisk modules should work from there, including the xposed installer, but xposed will cause safetynet to fail. I could not get magisk modules to work with 14.3, have not tested other versions, but 14.2 worked.
I did not let twrp install it's apk from recovery mode, or let magisk download it's update, I downloaded both APKs separately.
I remember having many issues with the order of install for magisk versus elemental. I'm pretty sure what worked for me is elemental, then magisk as I put here. but if you run into issues it might have to be magisk then elemental.

Thanks for the directions!
However, before I try this, I have one question... what is "VerifiedBootSigner-v8.zip"?
After searching, I see a bunch of information on the May security patch, but nothing talking about the August security patch (which is what I'm on). That being said, does it still apply?

You don't need Xposed, magisk has plenty of modules, but after rooting, flash the verified boot signer to allow for stock boot. It patches the boot image. Android 8 methods fixed this issue

Here is how you flash a kernel with the stupid 2 slots LOL...
Rom installed and ALREADY BOOTED INTO the OS That rom.
Reboot to TWRP 3.2.1-0
Flash Kernel and Flash TWRP 3.2.1-0.ZIP followed by rebooting recovery (i usually hit reboot system hold volume down until i get to bootloader and then choose recovery (reboot recovery doesnt always work))
Flash Magisk 15.0 or 15.1 on Oreo and i believe 14.3 and down will work better for Nougat.
Reboot buddy!!! All is good in the world.

WAAAAAAIIIIIT!!!! you need to be on Magisk 15.0 just failed multiple times and realized that was the last thing I Updated to 15.1..
Make sure you're flashing 15.0.

Can we get Xposed yet on Oreo with Magisk? I see it says there are 4 different options available in the module section of Magisk. One is labeled "Xposed framework". All the others are labeled "Xposed Framework SDK 25" down to 19. Which one should be used for Oreo?

Pixel XL will not root

Pixel XL running 8.0.0 OPR3.170623.007, developer options and USB Debugging are both on.
I was rooted for a while now, then I tried using one of my root-only apps and it told me it can't get root access.
I looked for SuperSU, which was missing.
I unrooted and rerooted using Skipsoft Unified Android Toolkit.
It flashed SuperSU 2.82 and flashed TWRP 3.1.1.1. The TWRP flashed just fine, but no matter how many times I flash SuperSU, it doesn't show up in my app drawer and the phone is still not rooted. I tried SuperSU 2.82 and the SR5 stable beta, neither worked. I also tried installing it through the Play Store after flashing it, it goes through the install process then just give me the option to install again, never fixes my issue.
Any idea on what I can do next?
edit: I updated to 3.2.0.0 and was able to root. Flashing the most recent beta and non-beta Magisk versions did not work, neither did installing the SuperSU APK. Once I updated to 3.2.0.0 I was able to root with Magisk just fine.

Flash the stock boot.img to both slots and reroot. Use SR5.

I would also advise to start by flashing the stock boot image. I would then boot twrp, flash twrp, then flash latest su.
If that doesn't work I would try going with the latest magisk zip (14.5)

I should have mentioned this, Unified Tool Kit flashed the factory boot image before releasing the latest TWRP and then flashing the most recent SuperSU. I did try flashing SR5 with negative results.
I'll give Magisk a try.

I followed 1,2,3,4,8, zero issues on 8.1.

I had a problem rooting with SuperSU. When i TWRP flashed it, it wouldnt show up in my apps, but my device was still rooted. For some reason the app just wasnt showing up so im using Magisk 14.5 instead...

Common issue. You can grab the app apk from inside the zip and install it.

I tried flashing both beta and non-beta Magisk versions and installing the SuperSU APK, nothing worked.
I saw that a new TWRP got released, 3.2.0.0. I flashed that and was able to successfully root. Thanks for your help, guys.

OOS 5.1.0 Bootloop After Flashing Magisk

As the title says I am unable to boot after flashing Magisk (tried v16 and v15.3). It boots fine without magisk but of course no root and no custom recovery. Any help would be appreciated. Didn't have any problems on the previous stable build.

You need to first flash OOS 5.1 let it boot, then go to fastboot and flash twrp then go to twrp and flash magisk, only way to get root

hello, that's what I did and it worked well

this has happened here since 5.0.4

Try to use lastest blu-spark's TWRP, then flash 5.1 & Magisk without extra boot in the middle.

Things I noticed when upgrading:
A) The latest TWRP for dumpling appears to be broken. I get an error mounting /vendor when I use it. I switched to the previous version (20180309) and the error went away and everything seems to work.
B) You may very well have Xposed installed. If you do, there is an SDK bump between OOS 5.0.x and 5.1.x (26 -> 27). You'll need to disable this module either before you install the update (or assuming you already have) remove the module using something like Magisk Manager for Recovery to remove it (reboot to recovery, install module, run mm from terminal, follow prompts).

It's not broken. The vendor error message is because it was recently updated to work better with Project treble, which uses a hidden partition for the vendor. You can simply ignore the error and it will work fine. Or if you flash a treble ROM, the error will then go away.

I just got the phone. Format it in recovery.
Flash latest blu spark twrp (v.8.73).
Flash the Oos ob06.
Reboot to system. Set the phone, instal apps from Play.
Reboot to Fastboot.
