ZenFone 2E Root, ROM, the works?

Would it be possible to divert a little more attention to this budget model? It's over all a great device and the only thing lacking is the software side of things.

A little update. Got the device into fastboot mode which lists general info on the phone(model, varient, etc.), but what I found interesting is that secure boot is listed as "?". Does this mean the bootloader comes unlocked from the factory? How hard would it me to port over twrp of cwm? Also, the fastboot/bootloader(?) interface seems to be touch based so that's nice.
EDIT: Added the bit on the touch gui.

I'm pretty sure the bootloader was "?" in the Zenfone 2 as well and it was locked...

Okay, that clears things up a bit. Do you think the zf2 bootloader unlock method would unlock this device or maybe an email to asus support?

No one knows, the unlock method for the ZF2 is unofficial so Asus won't support it anyways.

I need help finding the stock rom for the zenfone 2E. I was messing around with it after I rooted it and I messed something up. I can load recovery so I just thought if I could get the stock rom I might be able to just flash it from the stock recovery. I'm hoping this will fix my phone, but I can't find the stock rom ANYWHERE! Thank you.

Asus usually keeps their stock firmwares here: https://www.asus.com/us/Phones/ZenFone-2E-US-ATT-exclusive/HelpDesk_Download/ so it might show up soon. Can't you reset the device from the recovery?

I looked through the website and I only found the Stock rom for the zenfone 2, but nothing on the zenfone 2E. I hope i'm not just missing it. I've tried a factory reset through the recovery and I also cleared the cache many times, but yet it still doesn't work. Its frustrating because its just one line of code that I added and if i could just go into the files itself and delete it then i would be just fine. btw thanks for the reply. Much Appreciated!

If you can get someone else with a zf2e to run the commands here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62211408&postcount=10 that would give you the file foran OTA update that could reset the file you edited. What did you edit?

I was trying to change a line that's associated with the emulated sd card. I had inserted my micro sd card into the phone so I can see all the pictures I had on it/ listen to all my music, but it wouldn't read any of the files i had on my micro sd card. Like if i went into my music player it would say 0 songs when I know for a fact I have around 600 songs. the thing I thought was weird and annoing was if i go into my file manager i could find all the songs and play them directly. same with my pictures. I found this website that was showing me how to manually force the phone to read the external sd card verses the emulated one. I went into /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml. Inside platform.xml i found the line " name="android.permissions.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" " Then I added <group gid="media_rw"/> right after <group gid=”sdcard_rw”/>. The more I looked at the site made me realize this was meant for kitkat...I have lollipop.

//First off, if I knew how to dump roms I would. Secondly, how did you root? Maybe with root I can make better use of any rom dumping utilities?
Correction, I do in fact need the root method you used so I can force download the ota for you.

It seems the kernel source is listed openly on the Asus website, could we get an official root method from that? Also this phone seems to be just a ze500cl with half the ram and internal storage so would the root method for that phone work here for now?

I used the Zenfone quick root file for the zf2. You can get it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/root-newbie-root-instructions-zenfone-2-t3114063 Its ment for the zf2 but it still worked for the zf2e.

Thank you. I'll root and pull and update for you.

Still working on a romdump, the commands cmendonc2 gave me don't seem to work here.

Have you tried the bootloader unlock that the zenfone 2 has?

Nope. $120 is a little steep for my budget to replace if something goes wrong...

Did the tethered cwm / twrp recovery work on this devices I'm looking for the dumps?

yeah I just did the tethered cwm root on my wife's phone and it worked perfectly. any specific partition you need a dump of? I don't really want to upload the whole phone.
does anyone know of a working cwm/twrp recovery replacement for the 2e?

Looking to be pointed in the direction of a root for Galaxy Tab A6 sm-t280

Hey guys,
Been searching for a few days now ive tried several root methods
the ones from playstore like
Kingroot
Kingoroot
Kingoroot desktop
Its a galaxy tab a6 running android 5.1.1
Build number LMY47V.T280XXU0APB6
All of the above say they can root it but they all failed
I have seen posts on forums such as this one offering custom roms for the device so I must assume there is a root somewhere and I just cant find it.
Any help would be extremely apreceated

Nope, no root for this device until an exploit is found.
Where is this custom rom you speak of?

I don't remember sorry
Is it likely one will be found a exploit I mean ?

I've tried everything possible so far to obtain root.
Hopefully eventually one of the apps like Kingroot will work.
Why the heck Samsung locked the bootloader on this device I have no bloomin idea!

Me either no contactless pay as no cellular so why ?
I got mine direct from Samsung and the bloat is horrific
8gb model and over half of it is unusable and without a root an sd card isent really much help
In essence I have gta sa installed and can't put anything else on its infuriating!

It's still possible to customize the stock rom.
I have made some modifications to it and flashed no issues.
This means it can at least be debloated.

How would I do that exactly nothing I have tried has worked

Hello ashyx
I have the sm-T285m. Yes, I could not root it using the usual programs out there. Any way to inject root into the system image and then reflash it through odin? (as you mentioned you have managed to debloat it-maybe a dumb question as am sure you already looked into it) I recall trying to do such a thing on Huawei Mediapad x2 when there was no root but ran into issues after I accidentally overwrote my entire windows o/s and disk with linux and then gave up (had to extract files from image, add the su then recompile something like that?...from memory over a year back and was only my first and only foray into linux) The odin tar files are separate ones for modem, system, bootloader etc.
Thanks

I already tried prerooting the system image.
It wont boot because the boot.img needs to be patched and you can't patch the boot.img on a bootloader locked device.
I even asked Chainfire if there was any other way and he said no.

Thanks Ashyx...you mentioned you managed to debloat it. I tried ext4unpacker (maybe archaic now though recall it worked on 5.0.2) to separate the system.img into components but could not. I am interested in editing system image
(A) change dpi (increase the lcd density to 380 or so to get things bigger),
(B) change system font (put in a preferred ttf font),
(C) remove many unneeded (for me) google apps from the system folder, and
(D) enable mobile data auto on off for mms via the features.xml or others.xml. Do you think these could be done (you already mentioned the debloat).
typically i managed to get all of the above done if rooted.
Any advice appreciated on how to do this unpacking and repacking.
Thanks
does this help? opensouce kernel?
(again maybe preaching to the choir but thought I'd ask-not knowledgeable here but posting if it helps in getting to a semi-rooted type state somehow)
http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=sub&sub=F&searchValue=sm-t285
btw i 'managed' to get oem unlock to show as checked permanently...does that mean the bootloader is unlocked now? (cross flashed through odin the 285 on my 285m the system CP file...and reverted back to 285m-no difference though in network as modem was still 285m as was partition and BL-reflashed the BL as well separately for 285m-after all this shows oem unlock checked-when i got the device new it was unchecked)
edit...from what it appears, it means it CAN be unlocked, yes? but not actually unlocked?

It wont make any difference. Enabling OEM unlock doesn't unlock the bootloader.
You still wont be able to flash unsigned boot or recovery images.
It will only allow you to flash an unsigned system image.
I use Ubuntu to mount and edit Ext4 images.
You can use the windows or Linux version of simg2img to convert the sparse image to raw then mount in Linux
Tbh Samsung need to provide an unlock for this device like they do for the Chinese devices as there is no reason why this device should have a locked bootloader.

twrp/root A70

hi,
A70 is now widely sold, i try to buy one soonest but just waiting for root and twrp. it is still empty here on xda...
i found a link show how to root and install
https://myphoneupdate.com/samsung-galaxy-a70-twrp-recovery/
can i ask if some one already tried as above? looks like a copy method for all kind of phones ...
tks.

Most likely fake, the article was published a month ago. A70 only got released on 26th March.

I would definitely wait until someone posts a technique here; I tend to trust the experts here, but not so much everywhere else on the internet. I would prefer to wait a few weeks and put with an unrooted device, rather than possibly end up with a bricked (or hijacked) device.
Andre

ok i will wait...
it was like this, waited for s10+, came twrp but didnot like camera hole and waiting for A70, then waiting for twrp, then oneplus7pro release, then wait a bit for its twrp, till then note 10 pro comes soon, then wait for twrp of it....
and after 2+ year still using note8 LOL

First thing I tried ofcourse, rooting the A70, but... follow the steps in the manual yourself, and you'll see that you get stuck on step 3:
3.) After That Download TWRP Recovery https://twrp.me File On Your PC And Renamed The Downloaded Recovery File Name To twrp.img.
But there is no TWRP Recovery available for the A70
I also tried the A50 manual, but that also fails (stuck on OEM lock). I can install CROM Service, but it crashes.

wait for a proper and trusted dev to release twrp. the phones has barely hit the market it will take a few weeks (if not months) at least till someone builds an twrp. one think you could provide us with would be some information. is the bootloader unlockable?

In devsettings is a possible to unlock oem. Try this before flashing twrp. If twrp flashed ok, I think need to wipe all data, include internal storage, then flash DM-VERITY, FORCE ENCRYPTION, AND DISC QUOTA DISABLER

I don't try it by myself. But you can try it, if you just buy the phone, and have not important data on it

What about this guide is it worth trying or not really possible? https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html

Mine (bought direct from Samsung UK) has the OEM Unlock option in the Developer Options menu. Not tried it yet, not really much point until there is a reliable and tested root out there.

Samsung account
Hello. My dumbass bought used A70 with samsung account. I can't make a factory reset, because it needs password from old owner account which i don't know. But I have my Google account on that phone and Google find my device enabled. Will I need to enter samsung account information when I make a reset via Google find my device? So when reset is made, phone will be locked only by FRP? And then when I login in my old Google account can i create a new Samsung account or do I need to login in existing that was on that phone first? Sorry for offtopic.

Any news about TWRP? SuperSu or Magisk?
Hello All, still can't find TWRP for sm-a705fn
Can I flash TWRP for another Exynos phone, like Galaxy 9, to my A70 ?
Also, can I still use SuperSu with Pie/A70 ? I failed to root my previous Galaxy Tab8 with custom Pie using SuperSU, had to root with Magisk instead,
it worked just fine, but the link to topjohnwu mentioned in previous posts, tells scary things about Samsung/Pie/Magisk -
like, I have to switch between two recoveries... Is that really the case?
I haven't noticed any issue with Tab8/Pie/Magisk, but SuperSu would be still more familiar to me.

No, you can't use twrp for a different device, and don't use SuperSU neither. It was sold by chainfire to a Chinese company years ago and have been basically abandoned since 2017. I'm pretty sure Magisk is the better choice on any device running android 5 - 9.

Hello,
The problem with the post you mentioned is that there is no valid twrp attached. And I noticed that only Odin detects the fastboot mode of this device. If you enable USB debugging let's say, the command "adb devices" will detect the device and list it; whereas, if you reboot it to bootloader mode(fastboot), the command fastboot devices doesn't detect the phone. So in fastboot mode, only Odin will detect the device. Meaning, that the post of fake and not tested.
Regards,
Wael

That's weird. I do have the Bootloader unlock option in the developer settings and can do/undo it just fine. Looks like Samsung is using different Firmware versions on the A70?

im in the USA, i needed to get it via firmware finder, im guessing we would have been one of the last regions to get the update

Emui 10 beta
Emui 10beta in Germany

Got it OTA this week on my Canadian ELE-L04. I had to reboot afterward because gesture navigation was glitched, but it's been working fine since then.

Mine is the ELE-L09, no idea what these model numbers mean yet though, coming from Samsung I have no knowledge of Huawei phones yet
Don't even know how to flash new firmware yet, or where to find it, seems a lot more complicated than using Odin on Samsung

If it came as an OTA update, there should be an icon in the notification area allowing you to install it now. Otherwise, you can launch Software Update from the apps drawer.

Thanks yea I already got it, I am the OP of this thread
Was just saying with my S9 there was one tool to download the firmware and one tool to flash it, just had to put the phone in download mode, from what I've read so far it doesn't seem to be that simple with the P30
For example some regions for the S9 would receive the update before others, but they were compatible with each other, so we could download that region and flash it until our own arrived, then flash back, with the P30 I'm reading things about editing config files and changing DNS and all sorts of weird stuff to just get the firmware in the first place, and flashing wipes the phone clean, where the S9 you could flash and not lose anything
Lots of reading to do

very good thread for that here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146
the 3 different ways i have done it were 1) temporarily updating dns temporarily in my router and installing the download from erecovery
2) downloading the update file and installing it from my sdcard
3) downloading a hacked hisuite, adding dns to the host file for on my laptop, and then installing it through the hacked hisuite. this method seemed to be the easiest and most reliable, instructions in this post:

Thanks I`ll have a read through those threads, appreciate it :good:
EDIT - Bit stuck on this part
4. Open FF (any, I like the smartphone to register - less action)
Looking for a permitted Android 9 for your device on the principle: device_model-LGRP2
Don't really understand what they mean by that, just search for a firmware version for my model device? But how to register?

are you using the android app or the windows app?
if you are using the windows version open it, click on the "common base"near the top right, then you need to type your model type in (which you can find in your phones settings) mine is ELE-L29, click the search icon and you will see the firmware upgrades available for your model.
then right click the firmware you want to test (you always want to chose the FullOTA-MF
firmware options) and click check firmware access. if you get the result firmware is approved, click ok and then right click again on the firmware you just tested and chose copy.
then click the icon above named DNS update (the name of the icons show up when you put your mouse over it)
in the popup right click in the editable field and it paste, then right below it click register, once this is done the Team MT server will have registered your IP address and will know to send it the firmware that you just registered.
after you have done this you will be able to use either option 1 or 3 that i posted above
it may actually be easier to register on the phone but i found step 3 the easiest which you will need your pc for anyway. i left my phone in the car and cant remember the steps exactly enuf to try to explain them for the phone app
it doesn't matter how you register the firmware, via phone app or pc app, except that on the phone you will need to be using wifi to register your ip address

Hello!. I have a P30 from Claro operator (I'm from Colombia) and I would like to know if you can flash to a global firmware without having to unlock the bootloader. The operator firmware bothers me a lot because it doesn't update often.
