Hi all,
I have a zenfone 2 that I have just rooted....so now what?
Basically I wanted to optimise my phone so I am able to disable annoying notifications which are greyed out (although since rooting and checking this it still greyed out) I want to remove bloatware and I would actually like to customise my own android system, starting from a 'vanilla' base where I can build it up myself.
I have also read that I need to install a android recovery programme on asap after rooting.
So sorry about this but I really do need 'stupid' instructions as using hi tech words will just baffle me. lol
I have played around with computers in the past and learned about them so this is the phone stage now!
Thanks in advance and for your patience with this newbie!

Hi Kerry,
First thing you should now do after rooting your device would be flashing a custom recovery that is specific to your device (make sure your devices boot loader is unlocked first). This will allow you to make a backup of everything just in case anything were to go wrong, flash custom ROMs and useful zips. You can pick your favorite custom recovery such as Team Win Recovery Projects custom recovery (TWRP), Clock Work Mods custom recovery (CWM) or Philz Touch recovery based off of CWM although personally I would recommended twrp.
There are multiple ways to do this: Using the TWRP/CWM recovery installer from the play store or the more complicated way of flashing it from your computer. If you were to choose to install TWRP from their app on the play store (grant it root permission) you can select your device from the supported device section within the app, pick the latest recovery, hit the install button and let the app work its magic. If all works correctly you can now reboot to recovery and you will see TWRP is installed. Now you should create a backup to be on the safe side and you're good to go!
To best optimize your device I would recommend installing a custom ROM (look up custom ROMs for the Zenfone 2) and install the zip through recovery. (make sure to pick the right ROM for your device and version otherwise you may soft brick your smartphone) Now with a custom ROM you can better optimize your device and fully customize it to your liking. Make sure to look up custom ROM installation instructions for your device for better detail.
As far as removing system apps/bloatware you can use a "root app delete" tool from the play store but be careful what you remove as some applications are required!
Make sure to take your time and be careful when attempting any of these things and be careful what you modify! Just remember that no question is a stupid question as we all have to start somewhere!
Hope I was able to help you even if it was just a little, good look and have fun!
Rooted Droid Thanks you so much!!! First of all thanks for being so patient with me and secondly thanks for the useful (and easy to read) information.
I will go and install a back up on my phone from the ones you have suggested.
Hopefully you will be around over the next few days if I have more questions. Not planning on doing this all at once but rather taking the time and doing it right.
Thanks so much again!! :good::good::good:

Not a problem! I'm always happy to spread some knowledge and appreciate when people do the same to me! I also went ahead and checked the TWRP app and the Zenfone 2 is supported so it looks like your good to go. And yes absolutely, there's no rush so take all the time you may need and everything will go smoothly! I'm always around and will try my best to answer questions.

Check this site out:
http://myzen.asus.com/2015/10/13/official-bootloader-unlock-for-zenfone-2-is-now-available/
All devices have a different method for unlocking bootloader (some don't even have locked bootloaders) but this is an official bootloader unlocking method for the Zenfone 2 from Asus itself. I suggest following its directions and you should be able to unlock it this way.
Ok I followed the link but now I am confused. I have version ww_2.20.40.63_201......
Apparently I need a later version. What started off with just adding an APP means me doing other things before I even get to that point (hence the confusion! lol)
I never updated the phone via OTA as I was told it would invalidate my warranty and also I have killed a phone before using that so can you walk me through please...if you have the time....or could I just check if I have it unlocked already??
I haven't even gotten to the part where I create a backup...tee hee

Hi sorry for the late reply, I'm in Canada so it was 2am when I was last talking to you so I went to bed haha. Anyway as far as unlocking the Zenfone 2's bootloader I wouldn't have experience unfortunately as I'm using a Nexus 5. The easiest way to go about this now would be to go to your device specific forum and find a way to unlock it there.
The following way to unlock the bootloader requires you have ADB installed on your PC. This is a guide for installation on Windows :
http://www.android.gs/install-android-sdk-adb-windows/
And here is a thread specific to unlocking the Zenfone 2 using adb:
http://www.xda-developers.com/asus-zenfone-2-bootloader-unlocked-without-asus/
BTW as you mentioned "updating may invalidate your warranty" things like rooting, installing a custom OS, unlocking the bootloader, installing a custom recovery and other things like that all (in most cases) void your warranty.
Sorry I can't personally help with the bootloader as I've not personally unlocked it on a Zenfone. Still feel free to ask any questions if you need to. Good luck!
Hi guys,
Just moved form unlocked and rooted Mi Max 2, the boot loader of my Mi Max 3 is unlocked running Global stable 10.3.1.0 stable (PEDMIXM). Question: can I just install official TWRP (https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomimimax3.html) and flash modded Global from https://mi-globe.com/ without any risk. Just hate to brick it
Seems like an easy way to root and mod.
Thanks in advance
Hmm, well hopefully someone more experienced will answer, but...
Globe ROM is based on miui.eu, who themselves remove ARB (anti roll back), at least as far as I'm aware. This shouldn't matter though, I'm assuming, as you'll be flashing newer firmware/vendor etc than what's on your device currently. See here for more info
As for TWRP, I'm not sure, I'm currently awaiting delivery of my mi max 3 so cannot say much more on the subject, but have been reading a bit about it, plus I have other Xiaomi devices that have run Globe ROM in the past. Sorry if it's all a bit vague, like I say, hopefully someone more experienced will step in and assist you. But that should give you a bit of assistance and some further reading!!
Also see here for further info on ARB of your ROM

Thanks for the detailed reply. Yes ARB is probably the root of my worries. Flashed the hell out of my Mi Max 2 without issues but as I said I'd hate to brick it so soon. I'll update the thread with my progress.
Again thanks so much for the info.:good:
For me twrp only worked once and only once and then i bricked it. After that i bricked and can never go back by fastboot TWRP again. Now every time i boot to TWRP, it goes to black screen with backlight lit.
What i don't get is how other devices like Redmi 5 Note Pro, Mi 8 can get twrp to work if they are also on the list like Mi Max 3 for the recent Anti Rollback.
I ALSO have the same question ,
I didnt unlock the bootloader yet but i want first to know is it safe to root this device i read many users saying the antiroll **** is causing bricking the device .
If anyone can tell us a detailed guideline or steps to how to root the device for the average non advanced users like us ,

the following:
to be on the safe side use fastboot boot recovery-image-name do your stuff and boot via stock recovery when you don't need twrp specifically
like this you can avoid issues with encryption
if you don't want that you can make sure that you get a version of twrp that has no issues with decryption.
if you upgrade API version, i.e. Oreo > PIE, only do that if you don't intend to roll back to oreo
unlocking the bootloader and rooting are straight forward and no different than for any other device, what has basically changed recently is
A/B partitioning as well as recoveries mostly being in boot (no separate recovery partition for most devices) and that encryption scheme
has changed in a way that twrp without tweaks (original) has issues with decryption.
i use other than this A/B devices like OP6, OP6T and one simply has to be careful and not just flash away, thins got less forgiving
but work nevertheless once executed correctly.
if you want TWRP permanently you'd have to flash the twrp zip via fastboot boot twrp.img or fastboot flash twrp.img (not mandatory) boot into twrp if you flashed and flash twrp.zip, boot into recovery first and directly and there you go until you flash a new system things are quite stable if you choose your variant of twrp carefully.
Hi everyone, I'm new to the community and I had few previous experiences with phone modding so I'm here to ask you some support. I'd like to unlock bootloader, root and maybe install a custom rom o just xiaomi.eu rom but I don't want to brick my phone. I don't know what disadvantages i get other than losing the warranty( i read something about banking apps and netflix). If someone could guide me or link to some detailed guide I'll be very grateful.
The first question about bootloader is do i lose data when i start the process of unlocking the first time and should pop up the error of 160hours? or i lose data only in the second "try" after 1 week?
As said i have a poco f3 8-256 if could be useful.
You won't lose data, at least in my case but just make a backup to be safe.
You can start here:
You can look at his other videos too about Poco F3. They are very helpful to me and it is in English.
I personally prefer xiaomi.eu ROM 12.5.19 gives me 700k AnTuTu, google apps, miui cam, good battery life, good gaming experience, game turbo, and debloated miui which is optimized for the phone.
Yes correct, your phone will only do a Factory Reset after the "2nd try", aka. when the bootloader gets actually unlocked.
On the 1st try, nothing happens with your phone, it'll just ask Xiaomi's servers to allow your Xiaomi Account to unlock the BL.
Munchy's videos (the video above that LynnnXDA linked) are a good starting point for info.
To give you useful info along the way, the other day I made a comment about the disadvantages of Unlocking your bootloader in this thread, I will copy&paste it here:
If you unlock your bootloader, you must be aware of the downsides. Some apps won't work (at least not without a workaround), like Banking apps, Netflix, Super Mario Kart, Google Pay.
That's cuz Google's SafetyNet API reports to those apps that the Security-Status of your phone is "Fail", because of the unlocked bootloader.
You can hide it with Custom ROMs that specifically list "SafetyNet passed" or by using Magisk Root with a SafetyNet Fix Module. Or Both idk whatever.
I use Xiaomi.eu Custom ROM on Android 12 with Magisk Root. Everything works, but this stupid cat & mouse game with Google and Android Modders definitely sucks.

I also made another comment about the risk of bricking your phone when flashing a ROM, in this thread:
Critical partitions are being modified in the Flashing-process.
There is no protection.
If your phone shuts down during the Flashing-process, your phone can get bricked (black screen) and you can't even boot Fastboot & Recovery anymore. I know this. I have experience.
You must ensure that you have enough Battery (I recommend 75% Battery at least), that the USB connection is stable (will not disconnect randomly), and that your PC won't crash/shut down.
IF IT HAPPENS, that the Flashing-process errors out, DON'T REBOOT THE PHONE. If you do so, you won't be able to enter Fastboot anymore. You must stay in Fastboot. Just reconnect USB, and try again to Flash. Just don't reboot the phone.
Sorry for fear-mongering, but this is definitely dangerous and not to be taken lightly.

Despite the disadvantages (which might increase, because of Google fighting against it), there are some nice advantages, like being on the cutting edge ROMs with the latest updates, freedom, Access to system files, System-backup/restore, Call Recording (which may otherwise not be available for you), Cool Magisk Modules, Mods and other things...

Thanks a lot for your help, today I'm gonna start the unlocking procedure. One last question, do i need specific usb drivers and where can i find them? is there an official source?

The best drivers are included in Mi Flash, under the menu "Driver".
Before installing the drivers, I recommend starting Windows with Driver Signature Enforcement disabled.
Otherwise not all drivers get installed, because a few are not signed (They are safe to install though).
To temporarily start Windows with Driver Signature Enforcement disabled:
1. Hold SHIFT while clicking the Restart-Button
Windows automatically boots into Advanced Startup Options
2. Click "Troubleshoot" > "Advanced options" > "Startup Settings" > Restart
Windows boots into Startup Settings
3. Click 7 for "Disable driver signature enforcement"
Then when you're in Windows, you can install the drivers from Mi Flash.
Hi everyone, tomorrow i will unlock my bootloader and during this days I looked for some custom roms. First of all I want to ask you which are advantages and disadvantages of rooting the phone, I read about safetynet problem, and also some custom roms that are compatible with safetynet.
I'd like a stable rom but not stock like miui.eu, I was thinking something like lineageos or arrow os, what are the differences?
Hi All, what is best stable EU 12.5 rom for POCO F3 best better battery life?
Hi All, is it every time request unlock bootloader from xiaomi.com have to wait a week 7 days ??
@coolkillermax Yes, you have to wait.

Can anyone give eu rom 12.5 weekly rom as i search in eu rom all in "Fastboot rom" not TWRP roms, so anyone can give me links it is appreciate
I haven't dabbled in flashing custom ROMs since the Galaxy S2 days and i've just purchased the Poco F3 so i'm starting to research my options for a flashing a ROM that will be more of a stock android experience.
I find YouTube tutorials easier to follow than written ones and I was wondering if anyone like me (a noob, basically) could a recommend a video or series of videos?
I'd also be interested to know if there are any things i should be aware of that you shouldn't do, like common mistakes noobs make? Also, feel free to recommend a ROM you like or any other advice you may have, i'd really appreciate it.
My last question is will banking apps still work after the installation of a custom ROM?
Thanks
Welcome to XDA!
Yes, I can highly recommend the YouTuber "Munchy", he covers a lot related about Xiaomi Smartphone Modding. He is a no-bullsh*t, straight to the point YouTuber who explains steps quite well.
If you type "munchy poco f3 flash custom rom" into YouTube, you'll find his videos!
Have you unlocked your bootloader yet?
You have to do that with Xiaomi's Mi Unlock Tool. It will ask you to sign in with a Xiaomi Account, and then you have to wait 1 week to actually start the Unlocking-process. Unlocking the BL will also factory-reset your phone and erase all data.
To your last question: No, by default, Banking-Apps, Netflix and other apps, will stop working with an Unlocked Bootloader.
This is because "Google SafetyNet" checks if your bootloader is unlocked, and will report to those apps that this device has Failed the certification-test, aka. tell them that your phone has been tampered.
But you can circumvent that and hide the fact that your bootloader is unlocked, by using Magisk, enabling Zygisk, and installing the Magisk Module "SafetyNet-Fix" from GitHub. This is how I've been using my Poco F3 with an unlocked BL and rooted ^^ Everything works.
If you have more questions, you can PM me.
As for good Vanilla Android ROMs, I can recommend ArrowOS, LineageOS, Pixel Experience.. there are many good ROMs.
Question is also, do you want just a basic Android Experience, or also the Pixel-exclusive Goodies. Cuz Pixel Phones come with features that are not included in AOSP, and you may like those features, or you may not care. ^^
@cyanGalaxy
Thanks for the info, really appreciate it. I have a couple more questions if you dont mind?
If install a ROM that requires TWRP which version should I use as i've seen mention of the "official" version and other "unofficial versions"?
In one of Munchy's videos (i think the one where he installs Crdroid) it looks like he has the ROM and TWRP files (plus another i think) on a USB stick rather than on the phone storage itself. Is it standard practice to flash ROMs and recovery images etc from external storage?
Thanks again.

Official TWRP: https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomipocof3.html
(Doesn't support Android 12's Encryption yet, so don't use this)
Unofficial TWRP ("skkk"): https://dl.akr-developers.com/?dir=skkk/TWRP/A12
(Supports Android 12's Encryption, use this! May have minor bugs.)
Is it standard practice to flash stuff from a USB-connected device?
No, we usually use either the Internal Storage or a PC (using ADB in the Command Prompt). But a USB-device works too!
@Goooober
You just have to be on the latest MIUI before flashing a Custom ROM, that's it.
Only few Custom ROMs require an older version of MIUI as a prerequisite.
Remove any PIN/Password/Pattern (helps to avoid encryption problems in TWRP),
Reboot phone into Fastboot,
Boot into TWRP_xxx_xxx.img from your PC using Fastboot in a Command Prompt:
"fastboot boot twrp.img"
(considering file is called "twrp.img" and is located in same folder as the Google SDK Platform-Tools)
In TWRP, do a factory-reset + wipe data,
Flash crDroid.zip,
Flash NikGapps.zip (contains the closed-source Google Services),
Reboot
I think this should cover the basics... Let me know if this works out. If you have any questions, do let me know.
Note: Many Custom ROMs don't require NikGapps, because they already have the closed-source Google Apps. crDroid however, doesn't contain Google Apps.
Hey all, been out of the rooting for a long while now (not long after majisk first arrived on the scene on the scene (I think it was quite on and off at this point and still finding ways to get stable) and imagine a lot has changed. I now have F4 and looking to root and flash new ROMs again but have a few questions
1. Does having unlocked bootloader or custom kernels still lock you out of bank apps (Barclays particularly) and Netflix etc or are there ways to hide it again?
2. Titanium and CWM etc seem to not show as premium version paid anymore (don't know why as they were bought, maybe I've changed account or something or they have changed devs and originals defunct)? Is the best way to restore data and passwords etc after flashing using TB or are there better ways? Is there a how to somewhere to flick through after coming back after so long?
3. Is there a how to guide posted anywhere to come from completely original stock to links to boots/kernels/roms/etc? The old forums used to but they were much more heavily developed (S2/X1/G4 etc) so maybe this would come in time?
No worries about unlocking the bootloader. I tried a couple of the very new custom ROMs and if you chose one with GApps integrated there should be no problems. With the Mi flash tool you can always return to the original state with MIUI and locked bootloader.
After testing crDroid, ArrowOS and CatalystOS my current favourite is SparkOS.
Just installed Barclays App to check for you, it's starting without complaints and asking for the login credentials...
PS. I didn't root the F4.

Thanks for the reply, will gander into it tomorrow. Is the MiFlash tool just for restoring back to a general stock OS? I've always had SDs in phones so backed up original FW to SD, and flashed through phone having to wipe internal. Is flashing on this now all done through PC now? Only ever really trusted XDA for support but not a lot for F4 yet. Is there somewhere with instructions? Looking forward to trying these ROMs (crDROID was always one of my faves back in the day) but looking forward to trying these others too
Follow this guide to unlock the bootloader.
Mi only supplies their unlock tool for Windows.
Then follow the flashing instructions for the ROM of your choice.
Backup/restore with TWRP or OrangeFox not working yet on the F4.
crDroid is in a rudimentary state as of today, Spark is a lot more developed with a similar choice of config options as crDroid in general has.
