Everything is explained in manual. Read it carefully - an error during this part is normal - just ignore it.
[Zenfone 5 General] jinconstantine:

Try installing busybox see if it would help then update supersu :)

Axlvigorous the instruction made is very clear, i think the version number of your phone is wrong as supposed to what is being required before you use this method

---------- Post added at 02:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 AM ----------

Rmrwork the problem you have is one of the fundamentals of using adb and fastboot tools,, you have to make sure that you are running the commands from the directory where you installed adb and fastboot else you should include the directory in your conputers path in environment variables :)
[Zenfone 5 General] ruthzky2015:
should i go to droidboot mode to apply the rooting process?
[Zenfone 5 General] sigoshere:
Read manual carefully please.

If you're on linux, run root.sh script in terminal and follow instructions. Make sure that you have enabled USB debugging mode in your phone.

With non-linux systems:

(...)
Open terminal in extracted asus-zenfone-5-root directory (you don't need reboot your phone manually, just execute following commands).
(...)

pls do send me too a video tutorial for my zenfone 5 v2.22.40.54..my phones camera is not found..thanks

---------- Post added at 02:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 PM ----------

if i do linux usage..running sh script, it means i'll just just wait until rooting is done and my phones camera will be back? thanks
[Zenfone 5 General] sigoshere:
Again please read whole first post on forum and whole manual before anything. The video link is available in the first post. I spend a lot of time to develop instructions etc. If you do not read this, there's probability to brick your phone.

Yes. When you execute script, all things will be done for you. You must just wait patiently 7-10 minutes until terminal shows a message: All done, enjoy your rooted phone

If anything goes wrong (it shouldn't be) feel free to ask here.
[Zenfone 5 General] ruthzky2015:
in every command with "*" is another line to hit another enter?
[Zenfone 5 General] sigoshere:
Could you explain your post little more? I don't understand. :) You don't need running any command manually, when you're using root.sh script.
[Zenfone 5 General] ruthzky2015:
sorry my message is lack of details.. i google some tutorials about no camera is found bug and i did found tutorial for zenfone 2 with the same command..so im trying to ask if in every "*" is another line to enter (zenfone tut). i think that tutorial is yours too..
[Zenfone 5 General] Odlanyer023:

AFTER I ROOT MY CAMERA ALWAYS SAY "no camera is found" i dont understand how to fix im already on version 2.22.40.54 what should i DO please help me..

im not good in english. PLEASE HELP ME!:crying:
[Zenfone 5 General] sigoshere:
Yes, after every command you need to press enter. There're at least few tutorials written by others based on my script - this is exactly the same.
[Zenfone 5 General] sigoshere:
I suppose you're non-linux user (windows or max os). The phone will be restarted few times through whole rooting process. It is normal. Just continue executing command, one by one.
[Zenfone 5 General] ruthzky2015:
thanks a lot sir.. i already fixed no camera is found bug but i think my phone is not being rooted..but its ok all i want to do is to fix my camera... you are my hero...

Guys how to do something to fix camera not found problem when I am alredy runing CM ? I tried this solution but its bricked phone to USB logo only, I need working camera any idea ? :)
[Zenfone 5 General] AsusLover:

is it possible to copy the code from the website and paste it on CMD? or i will manually write it on CMD ??
[Zenfone 5 General] AsusLover:
fixed my camera but not rooted :D

my camera fixed but my phone still unroot
[Zenfone 5 General] sigoshere:
I haven't tested any CM on zenfone 5. One way, that should works:

Restore official firmware (2.22.40.54).

Use rooting script.

Check that camera is working again.

Apply CM firmware.
[Zenfone 5 General] sigoshere:
I can't help you without any detail informations.

What system do you use on the computer and zenfone (with versions)?

What exactly do you do? I mean, did you executed all commands listed in manual?

Do you have installed SuperSU application?
[Zenfone 5 General] sigoshere:
Don't working FM radio isn't related in any way with this rooting script. You should search solution in other place.
[Zenfone 5 General] hgurbuz78:
i write here because

i think maybe this issue solve with root and any permission change or any xml script change or any apk change.

sory.
[Zenfone 5 General] condition_svk:
I am alredy running on stock firmware, camera work before flashing on CM, and camera also work now when I return to stock, but at CM I cant use this script and when I flash CM in, this root script will be deleted from system :) I think problem is just in CM rom for most users it works well but few got troubles with camera :) IDK, maybe you should try flash CM and look for solution :) but Thank for your advice :)

brother after 1 month of root, i was trying to convert cerberus and one more app to system app via titianium backup

now im stuck at Asus logo..

I tried factory reset from recovery but after waiting again and again there is no solution.

Now im thinking to sideload firmware?

I am download Version WW_2.22.40.54(MR11.2) from

http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=ASUS+ZenFone+5

I hope im going to right path my previous system image is attached.

I need you consent, cause im new asus user.
[Zenfone 5 General] sigoshere:
This post should be deleted.
[Zenfone 5 General] sigoshere:
I think I can help you. Create a separated topic with your question and send me a link. I will answer you there (better searching solution for other people).
[Zenfone 5 General] DmitryChernov:
I had no problem installing root, but now half of my apps and every google app can't access the internet through wi-fi (don't have mobile internet at the moment). What can be the problem? The date is set right so it's no time problem.
[Zenfone 5 General] sigoshere:
1. Do you have correct version of the firmware (2.22.40.54) and Asus Zenfone 5?

2. Did you executed all commands from manual?

If both answer is yes, then your problem isn't related with rooting script.

1. At first, try recreate your wifi connection. I mean: find "forget network" option, and try connect it again.

2. Are you using some firewall or antivirus software on your android phone?

3. Could you check your connection through another wifi network?

If every thing above doesn't resolve your problem, then you should consider data factory reset.

I hope that I helped you. Plrease create an answer when you're done. ;)
[Zenfone 5 General] DmitryChernov:
I just did full unroot and everything is fine again. Only needed root to delete some apps.

What version the firmware do you have at this moment? Is this 2.22.40.54?

What system do you use on the computer? Windows, Linux, Mac OS or something else?
[Zenfone 5 General] B0031R4:
firmware 2.22.40.54

OS Windows
[Zenfone 5 General] sigoshere:
Please try root yout phone agian. There's exactly 14 commands to execute.

If it doesn't help, you probably should reinstall your android (with the same version of course) and then apply root.

Where can I download this platform-tools file ?
[Zenfone 5 General] sigoshere:
Platform tools is the part of android SDK. You don't have to download whole package. Just Google for plaform tools for your system. For example: android platform tools windows.

Make sure, that downloaded files are virus-free.
[Zenfone 5 General] chathurabuddi:
I got a zenfone 5 yesterday. Its on firmware viesion 2.22.40.54, but TW, not WW. Is this method work for me?
[Zenfone 5 General] helloxipi:
hello ma friends, did a xda acc only to reply here

it was some weeks since i bought my zenfone, it came with kitkat and the first thing i was detect it was the battery drain/overheat problem

after some research i found the problem started with kit kat version, did some tricks but didnt helped so i downgraded to jelly bean (v1.18.40.9)

JB system is kinda raw, so i used shakalaca root method and after setting up everything i noted the camera wasnt responsible

i did the unroot still wasnt working, it was yesterday

today i reflashed the JB but didnt do the trick so i found your topic

next i updated through adb again do kit kat (so, at my starting point after everything) and at least the camera is responding again after following the flashing steps

but the battery drain/overheat is really a problem for me, as my battery already have a wrong read at kernel (2110mAh showing as 1640mAh, and zentalk didnt helped with anyting, as asus gives a sh!t to its consummers), and i heavy use my smartphone

while battery on kitkat drop 1% in less than 60 sec, i was able to heavy use (playing an online game) more than 5min 'till it dropped 1%, and the battery temp dont increase more than ~30°C

this is really a LOT difference, so instead playing for tops 2h i can play for 5h initerrupt

ive been looking sigo script before upgrading to try the method but i wasnt sure where he get the vanilla files and if they version are #release dependant, so i didnt try flashing them at JB to not corrupt anything and get things worse

i supposed they arent from the ww-v2.22.40.54 asus rom right?

my question is, can we port this method back to JB? i have some knowledge at programming/scripting, but i need more information where the files used on this method come from, at least the original ones, to after seeing if its possible

and to be honest for me its better using JB w/o rooting than recharge 3x times a day on KK just to have camera function as a superuser, at least till asus fix this stupid battery rape issue...
[Zenfone 5 General] sigoshere:
I don't have possibility to check is that works for TW. There's little risk, that you need reinstall your android after unsuccessful rooting. But your hardware is safe.
[Zenfone 5 General] sigoshere:
Ouch, long story.

Hi. Sigo's here - the author of the script.

At first, vanilla files comes from official ASUS 2.22.40.54 firmware. I don't place any malware or any other ****, because I just want to share my solution. If you don't trust me, you could download the package from ASUS website and compare md5/sha1 hash sums. They are the same files. Btw. there's many people, which are satisfied with rooted phone.

About your battery: I don't know how exactly I can help you. If it is a software problem, you should reset to factory settings and reinstall the newest kitkat (it is really stable and battery-saving soft) or lolipop. If this firmware doesn't solve your problem with battery, this is probably hardware bug. The only way is probably some service center.

At the end: camera doesn't required root permisions. This rooring script will root your phone AND (if you had this problem) fix your camera.

If you have any questions - feel free to ask me here.
[Zenfone 5 General] chathurabuddi:
:good: Thanks, so I'm gonna try it tomorrow.... I will post the result here... :o:o
[Zenfone 5 General] chathurabuddi:
O.K. I tested it and everything works like charm. It works on TW firmware too... I tested it on windows environment. Please add it to your original post.

And thank you very mutch for this easy method.. :good::good::good:

Can I ask after successful root and restore camera, camera will stay work if I go to Lolipop ?
[Zenfone 5 General] sigoshere:
Yes, camera will work after upgrade. But there's one problem. Upgrading to lollipop will unroot your phone. After this, you need find another rooting solution for this version of android.
[Zenfone 5 General] condition_svk:
Thank you :) I will stay on KK for now, after day of usage I think it is more smooth and less baterry drain + root :)

Please help me rooting ww 3.23.40.60 ( android L)

Firstly thank you so much . I've successfully rooted my zenfone 5 when it was 4.4.2 with your files and instruction . Then I've upgraded to lollipop and then my root gone. Then I again tried to root with same files but it was unsuccessful . I tried many other ways but I failed . I think you can help me rooting my device. Please help me . :(
[Zenfone 5 General] sigoshere:
A I mention in the manual, this rooting script is prepared only for 2.22.40.54 firmware.

At this moment you have 2 ways for root:

You need found another rooting solution for lolipop. Probably there's a few apps/scripts. I actually doesn't like this android and I don't prepare rooting script. Maybe in the future.

You need to downgrade your phone to 2.22.40.54 and apply rooting script again. Downgrading zenfone is pretty simple. If you want to downgrade your phone - ask me here, and I will give you some tips.

fastboot flash /system/bin/partlink supersu.tgz

fastboot oem start_partitioning

fastboot flash /system/bin/logcat installer

i've flash older bootloader but it seems still failed, asus unlocker also failed, now i can't flash customs.. oh god.. [MENTION=4213813]sigoshere[/MENTION] do u have any idea why this happens?
[Zenfone 5 General] ricardosobral:
Works in the latest version (3.24.40.78)?
[Zenfone 5 General] sigoshere:
This rooting script supports only 2.22.40.54 (kitkat) android. Upgrading to lollipop will unroot your phone.

1. If you want root, you need full downgrade exactly to 2.22.40.54 version, and then apply script. If something goes wrong, try wipe your phone after downgrade. As I mention earlier - upgrading will unroot.

2. If you want lollipop and rooted phone, you just need find another rooting solution for this android.

I hope that everything is now explained.
[Zenfone 5 General] sigoshere:
Nope, sorry. It works only for 2.22.40.54.

I don't like lollipop and I don't support rooting for newest android.

I bet there's available few rooting methods for lollipop - do a little research. ;)

When i did Shift+Right click and opened cmd, i typed "adb reboot bootloader", it showed "adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file".

I have 2.22.40.54 firmware and still i am unable to fix it.

If it doesn't work, Can I fix camera not found bug by unrooting my phone? Please help.
[Zenfone 5 General] sigoshere:
This script requires platform tools (adb etc). Google for: windows platform tools. After installing this, you can root your phone and fix camera bug.

Fixing camera in anyway needs platform tools.

The solution was tested by several thousand people. It's just work. Probably, you're doing some wrong or you have incorrect version of firmware etc.

1. Do you have ASUS Zenfone 5 (T00F/T00J) phone?

2. Do you have official WW-2.22.40.54 (4.4.2) firmware?

[Zenfone 5 General] sigoshere:
I can't give you any tips without any details about your problem.
[Zenfone 5 General] sigoshere:
I'm pretty sure there's solution for every zenfone's "camera is not found" problem. But I don't have zenfone 2 and I can't give you exactly way. General tips:

- Download from asus website official firmware (the same version what you already have installed).

- Extract package and find: dnx(...).bin, fastboot.img, ifwi(...).bin, recovery.img files.

- Flash this files to your phone.

Read carefully my manual and read how is written the rooting script in the repository.

Your problem is solvable, but you need 1-3 days for understanding the problem.

Good luck.

I have a rooted E1 (D2005) with a locked bootloader and sim locked to vodafone.

I need a custom rom to flash so it unlocks the phone for any sim card.

I have spent half an hour looking for can't find a single ROM, where are they hiding?

Post links please, not something like "use the search tool, try google" as this is not helpful and obvious.

Thanks in advance guys, Thanks.
[Sony Xperia E1] Kizoky:
Custom ROMs does not exist, as Xperia E1 is not AOSP supported, and apparently the Source code of the kernel is not helping.

You can try "unlocking" the Sim lock by downloading a different Firmware version with XperiFirm, then flash it with Flashtool.
