Unable to access root

I'm using asus zenfone 2 ze551ml
it's running latest build 21/9/17 of lineage os 14.1
im unable to get root access
i have checked my system folder in root directory through TWRP
Su file is present but although after allowing apps and ADB to get root access in developer setting
the ui which apparently ask for root access is not popping up
and root checker suggests that your device is not properly rooted at all
This problem came up when is switched rom lineage os 14.1 (nougat 7.1.1)
to lineage os 14.1(nougat 7.1.2)
recently updated su addons dated 25/06/2017 are having such a problem for me
plz update the su addon for X86(or firmware) or atleast give me the reason to stay on this rom
Thanks A Lot

Did you upgrade or do a full wipe?
Some stuff that I read indicated that uninstalling old su before installing the new su build was a good idea. It was released for those that had issue with the old one and not really a upgrade.
I recently did a full wipe on my phone (moto z) and used latest su on 7.1.2 without problems.
I suggest checking out what the local forum thread of your device says. If this is a device and build specific issue I'm sure some other people noticed it too.

I know what are you trying to say
That many device uses same su so check you my phones specific
But tbh what is know is there are only 5 devices running x86 cpu zenfone 2,4,5,6
And only one of them is running lineage os 14.1 other dont support officially so they use 13.0 's addon zip
That means only zenfone 2 can flash 14.1's addon su
And FYI I did wiped first
And xiomi's phine are having same problem with this popup

Finally a solution........ That after long desperate efforts worked for me. You can flash the Magisk 13.0 zip. Mind you an upgraded version will lead you to a loop to your custom recovery. Magisk 13.0 is zenfone 2 x86 architecture compatible. Good luck. Just got this solution last night. Tell me if this helped you and also if you found a better way.

GSI ROM Testing (8.1.0)

Successfully flashed emui 8.0 on usa variant without need to rebrand by using hurupdater WOOT AND zero issues encountered
Step 1. all i did was fastboot flash system of 64bit A only gsi resurrection remix
Step 2. make sure you are using stock recovery from huawie and fromat data.
Step 3. reboot && profit
EDIT: side note, apparently people on here are asking if this is for real or not lol. heres a screenshot in here https://imgur.com/a/depZugF

is themes apps working for you? flashing emui 8 via huru will give incomplete flash.

This was possible for the US variant ( L24) since July. It was mentioned couple times before. I think using hwota is a cleaner way of upgrading.

How do you do it?, Where is the links of the files?

thanks for responses, i updated the op and hopefully that is a bit more informative.
let me know if it is confusing at all and ill try to fix it

Can i flash p gsi.? (havoc 2.0)
And.. Is volte working..?

If I am not wrong I think volte will not work on any custom roms except for a stock based custom room because Huawei hasn't released source for it. Dunno I could be wronf

It's not a custom rom... It's gsi

anyone tested other gsi? i only tried open kirin roms

are you sure it didn't rebranded? at about information, it say bln-24 or bln-al20? it could brick the phone, I thinks is better using the emui 8 from india instead the china version

hey guys, any A ONLY GSI ROM should work. i used treble resurrection remix NOT openkirin as the op states.
and i DID NOT rebrand, it states in rom info i am BLN-L24 -thats usa ver.

You went from android7 to RR based on android8 without rebranding and updating to stock android8 ?

op states i upgraded to emui 8 using nothing but hurupdater script and update packages in 7.x twrp buddy

That's great man, i need to backup a lot of stuff since last TWRP backup, but I'm definitely gonna do this. I own a BLN-L21, so i hope this'll works the same as on any other variant, and that would be the real gem in all of this. Thanks for sharing

Searching for "hwota7" gives you this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/development/hwota7-hwota8-honor-6x-t3792601
In short, all you have to do is put the oreo firmware files (L22 version, not the Chinese version) in the update folder and run the batch script. Choose L24 region during the process and you're done. I've done this at least couple dozen times as I frequently test out all treble ROMs as they're released/updated, and sometimes go back to nougat in case I find something that's not compatible with oreo. But all in all, this oreo ROM is very stable and is my daily driver.

During your testing, which ROM has been the most stable in terms of daily-driver use so far? Last year after getting this 6x I tried a few different ROMS, back before OpenKirin happened, and had nothing but problems with boot loops and etc so I went back to stock EMUI5. Few days ago I got B365 and then B376 via OTA after installing the Huawei software on my PC. This phone really makes me miss my S5 with LineageOS.

diff between baseband and bootloader?

I am going to try 4.4 kernel based rom so was wondering about the above question i.e what's the diff between baseband and bootloader or both are used interchangably?
I had updated my baseband before with the zui 3.5 China version, so can i go ahead and install 4.4 kernel based roms?
Also i had installed deodexed zui 4.0.233 and it was working properly

I was in your situation recently.
I was running AiCP 13.1 + Nameless since July. Device was running butter smooth, stable and satisfactorily performance while gaming.
However since last PubG update things took nose dive while gaming. Extreme heating, horrible battery backup. So decided to move on to latest Pie.
My steps,
1. Using QPST/QFIL, installed the stocked ZUI 1.9 Chinese.
Tried to OTA but got server error while downloading ZUI 2.0
2. Downloaded the stock OTA update package of ZUI 3.5
3. Used the OTA update. It took several incremental updates till it settled for ZUI 4.0.199
This made sure I am having latest official baseband.
4. Used my previous boot unlocked image via ADB/Fastboot to unlocked the bootloader
5. Flashed latest TWRP
6. Flashed the Factory to vendor stuff
7. Flashed the latest Treble TWRP
8. Flushed AEX 6.0 + GApps Nano
Devices booted up nicely and now running AEX 6.0 for last 8 hours or so.
Thanks.

The official ROM, and working TWRP Recovery.
If you would do exactly the same as mentioned in the post , probably you will get Android Q along with TWRP installed.
Thanks to me later.

Can't install magisk On LIneageOS 14.1

I don't know much about tabs but I was facing the same issue when I was flashing some files on my android device. I had to change the file system of my device by booting into recovery mode, I changed my file system to exFAT and then installed the custom ROM again ( not sure if it was necessary to reinstall ), then I installed magisk and everything worked fine for me, not sure if this will help you resolve your problem but you can try.
Just take a backup, just to be on the safer side.

In that case I would start with clean flashing. And always use latest magisk. In case you need safetynet - canary version only works at the moment.
Installation method is now download apk from github, rename to zip, flash with twrp.
