1. First you install the adb and fastboot drivers there's a link in page 1 for you to do that easily.

2. When installation is in process you should see a successful message there that both fastboot and adb drivers are installed.

3. After that look for the following folders:

C:\adb (for a systemwide install)

C:\users\*your user name*\adb (for a user only install)

Take note that you can use either of these folders for the process, if you can't find them, then your installation of adb and fastboot failed.

4. Inside those folders, you should see 4 files:

- adb

- fastboot

- adbwinapi

- adbwinusbapi

5. Download the mod_boot.img in the links on the first page and place it on either the folders that I mentioned (to the folder that you will use)

6. Make sure that you turn your USB debugging "on" on your device through the developer options. If you can't find it search in google on how to activate it cause I can't remember, :D

7. If all is set and if your device is properly detected by your PC, hold down shift and press the right click button on the folder where you placed the mod_boot.img you should see an option "open command window here", click that.

8. The command prompt should open. Type in:

adb devices

to check if your device is properly connected, you should see some sort of serial number if it was connected. If it is properly connected go to the next step.

9. Type:

adb reboot bootloader

To restart you device to bootloader.

While your device is in bootloader, you sbould see the asus splashscreen on your phone's screen.

10. Finally, type:

fastboot boot mod_boot.img

Wait for a while, you will see a message to wait for your device.

11. After this, your phone will reboot with root installed.

Note:

When I did this, root was already good to go but if you get a crash like what [MENTION=4370703]Jhyrachy[/MENTION] said, just do what he did, :D I can't explain in detail.

edit: use this link to enable developer options https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1007443

this is the link for the mod_boot.img if you can't find it https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1pErR_Eg7cXTzB5Y1NHaHVVQkE/view

follow this guide to install adb and fastboot drivers as instructed in number 1 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

Confused, I was thinking that having root privilege is enough for doing anything on device. Can't we replace or unlock boot loader with root permission ?
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] Jhyrachy:
we can read and edit system files, but if we do not know what we need to modify we cannot unlock the bootloader.

The method used in Zenfone 2 , does not work for the Laser, already tried to make a test?
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] miau9202:
Ok, it's a double kill.

Now I present ZE500KG root, thanks [MENTION=4920953]visioncored[/MENTION] help me to test root

ScreenShot:

Compatible model:

ZE500KG

Compatible System Version:

method is same as ZE500KL, read first post to learn how to root.

BIG THANKS:

off-topic note:

if you want to keep your adb works, don't remove ASUSPCSuite, but you can delete iso under /system/etc and device will not notice you to install PCsuite when you plug usb.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] Jhyrachy:
Awesome, i'll update op :)

[Zenfone 2 Laser General] rajlko:
sorry wrongly quoted your post :(
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] miau9202:
yes.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] cLeAv0:
It doesn't say anything about the bootloader's tampered flag.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] miau9202:
if you really want to let your bootloader get tampered, open stock kernel in hex, add some bytes randomly, and boot.

try to dump all partition and research, you can find that flag, because that's what i did.

if you can't, please re-root to restore your bootloader and give up.

I just really want to know so I can learn, XDA is really about sharing and learning new knowledge. That's why I want to know the exact details to this, so in the future we can do things all by ourselves. I've searched all around also and I only see the way they do it is to find the offset of the tampered flag and manually change it. But Jhyrachy explained to me your method is copying the abootbak to aboot, which what I was asking for. Thanks anyways. :)

OTA asus update

Can I this upgrade?

How do I unroot?

Thanks.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] Jhyrachy:
actually we do not know.

Last OTA is 118, and untile next ota we have no way to know.

Pretty sure it will delete root, so we have to hope they are not going to patch it in next ota.

Just do not update until further notice.

To unroot just flash 118 ota in recovery
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] radekskl:
I've got some trouble rooting my ze500kl. I've installed fastboot drivers, enabled USB debugging and my device shows on 'adb devices list' as device. Command 'adb reboot bootloader' restarts phone and hangs it on asus logo, but using 'fastboot boot mod_boot.img' shows <waiting for device> and does nothing else. While in bootloader there is no device present in devices list.

Any clues?
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] bohenian:
That happened to me, I just waited for like five minutes and everything went well :good:

Did you wait for it to reboot?
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] rajlko:
most probably asus usb drivers are not installed properly that s why you are getting waiting for device in fasboot commands.

make sure asus bootloader interface installed in your system.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] radekskl:
Well, I wasnt that patient - rebooted manually after like 2 minutes. I'll try it.

Yes, I've got drivers installed.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] Jhyrachy:
Op updated :D
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] communard:
how can i install xposed manually?
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] Jhyrachy:
I still haven't managed how to do it myself :P

So, stay tuned
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] bohenian:
Ok, for some reason after rebooting my phone, this happened to me. I'm glad there's a heads up -_-
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] Jhyrachy:
That's what tester are for :P

ALSO: i noticed that freezing/deleting asus calendar make the asus service crash too
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] vnpnlz:
After rooting my device, can i still get the latest update like marshmallow?? Also, it is possible to add the ViperForAndroid as a default driver for Zenfone 2? ;)
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] Jhyrachy:
I use Viper4Android as my daily driver, just remember to freeze the 2 stock equalizers,

Root will allow you to receive any update, but i'm pretty sure that future update will not let us root.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] bohenian:
Maybe that's the reason it happened, I tried uninstalling an ASUS app. It's pretty annoying though. :rolleyes:
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] cpuz99:
also happened to me, reinstall driver still doesnt work, then after changing from laptop (win8.1) to pc (win7), install adb fastboot driver, reboot to bootloader blalbla.. and then finally its works

Original asus firmware

How do I flash it in recovery. Thanks.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] ImJamIN:
Hi,

I cannot enter in fastboot. I've try adb command and vol+ but my ze500kl goes into loopboot. It vibrate, turn off itself and turn on, and so on...

If I release power button and vol+, after some bootloop, it can boot normally.

I have the same thing if I try to enter in fastboot with adb command. I must remove battery to boot normally.

What can I do ?

Is it normal that in recovery I haven't any command to reboot to bootloader ?
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] bohenian:
To flash it please refer to this link for the instructions

http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2015/09/how-to-flash-asus-zenfone-2-laser.html
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] Jhyrachy:
Fastboot is just the screen with the asus logo, no more writings.

If you do "adb reboot bootloader" you are fine.

Check with "fastboot devices" every 2/3 minutes to be sure it will appear. If it does not appear in 10 minutes then come back here.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] anticristian:

[Zenfone 2 Laser General] Jhyrachy:
could you post a screen of the cmd window?
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] ImJamIN:
Here is the print screen
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] Jhyrachy:
Are you using my script at all?

i don't see the step where it push files
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] ImJamIN:
yes, but I enter manually every step, so I look at your script and then copy/paste every code line.

Now I have run the script from terminal emulator and It goes on.

Now I'm rebooting asus.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] Jhyrachy:
If you do not use a thing as intended, why ask support fort it.

btw, tell me if it worked.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] ImJamIN:
Because, your script doesn't start (it block itself on 'wait for devices'), so I must choose an alternative method to install xposed.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] Jhyrachy:
Well, you have a point.

I will insert in the OP all the commands in a copy-paste friendly way.

Thanks for the feedback
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] ImJamIN:
you're welcome.

[Zenfone 2 Laser General] 96DANGER96:
How did you fix your "not found" problem?
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] Fiqusny:
Let's try this ;)

I added " %adb% shell "su -c chmod 777 /system/tmp/flash-script.sh" ", line and changed another to: " %adb% shell "su -c /system/tmp/flash-script.sh" " so it makes that script work! For me it's ok :)

So, my InstallXposedFramework.bat looks like this:

@echo off

echo ' Connecting ZenFone 2 Laser

echo '

echo '

%adb% wait-for-devices

%adb% shell "su -c chmod 777 /system/tmp"

pause

echo '

echo ' Pushing files

%adb% shell "su -c /system/tmp/flash-script.sh"

pause

echo '

echo '

echo ' Removing files

echo '

%adb% shell "su -c rm -rd /sdcard/tmp2"

%adb% shell "su -c rm -rd /system/tmp"

pause

echo '

echo '

echo ' Rebooting your phone

echo '

echo '

%adb% reboot

pause

Yes! It's quite laggy now :/ Any way to set lower frequency?
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] 96DANGER96:
Thank you, meanwhile solved it by myself with the same method:

cd files
copy "*" "../"

adb shell

su
mount -o remount,rw /
mount -o remount,rw /system

chmod 777 system/tmp/flash-script.sh

cd system/tmp

./flash-script.sh

reboot

I am having some trouble with Viper4android, this is the first that I'll install it. Can you give me a reference as to how to do it properly?

My default player doesn't seem to work with it and when I install a 3rd party player, it doesn't seem to be integrated with the settings I made in V4A.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] ImJamIN:
The only method that I've found is to use Trickster Mod. It's the only app that can let me change (force) frequency, but there is a little problem: the only frequency that it can be used it's 800Mhz and not the low power consumption 200Mhz.

So, the main problem (imho) it's that the asus isn't laggy, but when the screen it's on, the battery can go down more quickly.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] cLeAv0:
The default governor for ze500kl is Performance, and I think this makes the cpu always at max freq. And at the power settings this is true when also on performance mode. I think balanced mode and below reduces the frequencies but I'm not so sure.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skridovaste:
Hello!

My S6 is rooted with Xtrestolite (2.3 I think). It has been like this for a long time, maybe a month. Then today, I simply powered off my phone. 1 hour later when I tried to power it up again, it got stuck in a bootloop. It keeps cycling between the 'Samsung Galaxy S6' screen and the screen where it shows 'Samsung' with blue things coming off it. I also have Xposed installed but I'm not sure if it's anything to do with that.

I have tried Power + Vol Down but it just continues and I also got into recovery (only when plugged in to the charger) but it didn't do anything either. Any suggestions as to what it could be? It's really important that my phone is working tonight.

Thanks!

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sHOLICs:
So it happened last year in summer. I woke up in the morning and got ready to go to school. I was looking for root apps that can make my gaming better. I found out this app called: Chainfire 3D. So I installed it on my P710. When I had to go I opened Chainfire 3D app.

I hit this button:

CF3D driver

install/ upgrade/ uninstall CF3D driver

So cuz it was my first time running this app it started installing it.

I started walking to school and I saw my phone rebooting, then i put it in my pocket. When I finally arrived school then I took my phone out and guess what... It was still rebooting! It didn't work anymore. It was frozen on LG Logo screen when u reboot. So when school was over I went home. I started searching net but nothing for P710. So I finally tried to Hard Reset my phone. (Volume Down, Home- and Power button together). And then i thought that menu popped up but NO!

Background black, white lines, and white text saying:

Secure Booting Error!

Cause: boot certification verify

So is there ANY way to fix it somehow? Even when i plug my phone to PC it doesn't connect it. (I don't have any ROM on that phone, just stock)

(I just looked up 1 video before writing this. But in the comment section they say don't use it on Samsung tho)

I think that's the end of my P710 :'( Cuz I'm not able to find anything about that problem...

At least thank u all for reading this.

Hi, we all know that one plus two is terrible in starting/opening apps, there is an annoying delay after the tap and the app launch. Such big is the delay that my good old Xperia M launches apps faster.

Well guess what, the problem is due to stock : OnePlus Laucher, change the launcher to any other, such as Nova and apps would launch the moment you tap on them.

note: Shelf will no longer be available on left screen , it's of no good use anyway. Still you can launch shelf by assigning a button shortcut (Under buttons settings).
