[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yasin0005:
Asus zenfone 5 is one of the best devices from the Asus and recently it

also got the lollipop 5.0 update as promised by the company but this is

not the topic I am here to discuss the most easy way to root your asus

zenfone 5 and I already published a video guide on it on our YouTube

channel its HowTrends. So, those guys who are facing problems and tried

a lot of thing to root asus zenfone 5 and at the end they failed, we

recommend them to go through this simple, easy and one click root

procedure.

This rooting procedure is tested on the Asus Zenfone 5 (CG501) Android

Lollipop 5.0 and Android Kitkat 4.4.2 V2.21.40.44 and working fine.

However if something goes wrong by your mistake then please don't held

I m not responsible for it, so go ahead at your own risk ..

Pre-Required files:

1.Asus Zenfone 5 Lollipop Rootkit

Http://d-h.st/0S31

2. Asus Zenfone 5 Kitkat Rootkit

www.mediafire.com/download/mjg542cd5w8my7w/HowTrends-RootZenFone5KitKatv4-ww.zip

3. Intel adb drivers for PC

www.mediafire.com/download/hxjosurat8o6ubk/HowTrends-IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.1.5.exe

Step to Root Asus Zenfone 5 Lollipop/Kitkat:

Download intel drivers and install it to your PC and the download the

RootKit as per your android version lollipop or kitkat to your PC. (i.e for

kitkat download kitkat root kit and for lollipop download lollipop root kit)

Enable usb debugging on your asus zenfone 5. To enable it first go to

settings > about phone > system information > build number. Tap 7 times

on build number and you will get the devloper settings in your android

settings.

Go to developer settings and enable USB debugging and connect your

phone with PC via usb cable and you will get a popup on your phone

select there always allow.

Refer pic 1

This is all you need to do with your Asus Zenfone 5. Now go to the folder

where you downloaded the root kit.

Rootkit will be a zip file so first unzip it and then press and hold shift

button and right click on file folder and you will see "open command

window here" option. choose it.

Now in command box type "adb devices" (without comma) and hit enter

and if you get "demon started successfully" message in command then

close that command and go ahead to the next step. otherwise try again

all above steps.

Refer pic 2

This will be the final step, open file Root-zenfone.bat and wait till that

window close automatically, during this process your phone will be

rebooted 4-5 times but no need to worry it is the part of the rooting

process.

Once your device bootup and starts then search for SuperSu app in your

app list, if supersu app is there it means you have successfully rooted your Asus Zenfone 5 then you can unplug your device from PC and enjoy the root features to your Asus Zenfone 5.

The only way I got was manually. And to version .87 works. If your do not, manually do it will work .

[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech321:
Worked for me, first time itself. Thanks for your effort. Now that my phone is rooted can you kindly refer me to sources where I can upgrade it to Lollipop. I've read many tutorials where they've shown how to upgrade to Lollipop from KitKat on a non-rooted device, but mine is rooted, so how do I upgrade?

Thanks, awaiting your reply.
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yasin0005:
No u must have to unroot mobile before upgrading u r ROM because official ROM required unroot if its rooted mobile u faced bootloop problem......so u first unroot it and then upgrade ...u can root again on new upgraded Rom by using same procedure which was given by me in previous post ....:D

[XDA Assist] abdulmustapha:
Hi,

So it alll started when I installed CM13 Nightly on my G2, (at this time, it wasnt rooted and no custom recovery) i then decided to update to the next version of the nightly which caused everything to crash.

So I used the LG Flash Tool, and went back to stock which worked absolutely fine. Then I decided to use ioroot and re-root my device which always went fine. Next, I installed the twrp manager, which installed an old version for my G2. I had G apps 5.1 and resurrection remix rom, in my downloads folder. I then went to recovery, wiped my device, (apart from internal storage) and then tried to install the rom. I forgot to download the bootstack and the new version of twrp. I then accidentally wiped internal storage, which has stopped adb sideload from working. I have tried re using the LG Flash tool to go back to stock, but it always skips system, data, cache etc. and when the phone boots, I am back in TWRP with no OS. Please Help. Thanks..
[XDA Assist] abdulmustapha:
My Soloution

What worked for me was from the TWRP terminal command was to type

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

then hit enter

type

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc

then hit enter and reboot.

after that, you can use the lg flash tool, and go back to stock :D

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
Welcome new XDA user,

Right now, you have stock recovery and with stock recovery, you won't be able to flash anything.

In order to flash a different rom, you first need to flash a different kernel or recovery using ODIN.

You can flash a kernel like DorimanX or Gustavo Kernel which contains CWM recovery. From there, you will be able to flash ROMs like normal. You require the .tar kernel files to flash via ODIN. Kitkat or Lollipop kernels will work fine and should allow you to flash most zips. Apolo kernel will also do fine too.

regards, gsstudios
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBosszz:
Answer

I try to flash roms or recovyre with Odin but its not going.I have the recovery from cyanogenmod 13 (Android 6.0).I try anything but nots worked.I try to flash with Rom manager but after reboot (there co es a android man and a loading screen)the Installation break and i see the recovery from cm13.

Need help .
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
Did you make sure your phone was in download mode (volume down + home button + power key) when using ODIN? Rom manager is an old application and shouldn't work on CM13. Instead, the app flashify should work better, that's if root is enabled of course (development settings, enable root for apps).

regards, gsstudios
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
To add to what [MENTION=5811506]gsstudios[/MENTION] has said.....

I seem to remember reading that rom manager breaks things on the S2.....specifically I recall it being mentioned that it breaks recovery mode....

Probably best not to use it as if it hasn't broken things yet, it eventually will do.....

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peter770:
Is it possible to change the folders size in Nova Launcher? When i create folder it is created with bigger size then the app icons and it looks ugly. I played with the settings but i couldn't find option for changing folders size.

Also, is it possible to change the folder grid from 2x2 to 3x3 and get the same functionality as the folders in iOS?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
You can just choose the None option for the folder background so it won't have it icon. It'll just appear as floating app icons but will still have a background when you open the folder. There isn't an option to change the grid size though.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peter770:
Is there a app that can create folders in the same way they are created in iOS and work on Nova Launcher? One Launcher can do this but i like to use Nova Launcher.

This might work https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abcOrganizer.lite
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peter770:
I already have tried this app but it doesn't do what i want. As basic functionality it cover the iOS folders, but in details, and i like details, it doesn't come close to the iOS folders functionality. Like adding apps with drag and drop, open the folder and swiping the apps pages inside it, the look and feel are not as the iOS at all.

Hello.

When I try to power on the phone nothing happens.

The only thing I can feel — is a little vibration.

If I plug the charger, vibration becomes periodical.

Nothing more.

I can't plug it to the computer.

Windows doesn't see it, even doesn't show it as unknown device.

On *nix systems there is even nothing in dmesg.

So, is there any chance to resurrect the device?

That vibration let me hope for a miracle.

Thanks.

it might be the USB PORT....

try buying a separated batt charger... once the batt is fully charged, it will boot up. no worries on software... it might be due to hardware... the charger pin (usb charger and data connection) might desolder due use and time... and if you where impatient, maaaybe it also might have damaged main board charging fuse...

it is repairable... but hard and not soft.

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] clancy996:
When I try to connect my QTEK 2020i with my computer, the pc recognises the pocket pc but then requests the additional software to enable it to install, I dont have this software and it cannot find any. Activ sync doesn't connect either, it says it cannot detect any devices. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Joe Pinball:
If it used to connect before, and now has stopped working, it sounds like you need a hard reset of the PDA.

If you've never plugged the PDA into the PC before, I;d try installing the latest Activesynce from the M$ website first, then connect the PDA: that might fix it, but it does sound liek a hard reset time!

Remember to save anything you need onto SDcard/backups/permanent storage before the hard reset tho!

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] patrickt333:
Thought this was big enough to stand on it's own, rather than reply to the multiple threads on this topic. With the release of Version 3.2.1:

Merged Droid Turbo Support into main release

Added new root for Droid Turbo (no more mofo/kingroot needed)

Added new root for Some HTC (like m8, no more htcdev/kingroot needed)

Removed 626s support for now

During the initial run, they now have a "temp root" selection, which eliminates the need for kingroot (i'm assuming). I just s-offed my HTC 5.0.1 version phone without kingroot, so enjoy!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Vicentedroid:
after that do u know how to permanently root?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Sunshine = S-OFF = permanent root
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] gettinwicked:
It's probably early still, but can anyone tell me if we still need to downgrade our Lollipop version (S-ON) for this to work? Either way, I already planned to s-off this weekend, if no one else has tried either by then, I'll give it a shot and report back.

Thanks for all your hard work devs!!!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] patrickt333:
No downgrade needed. I did it on 5.0.1 without kingroot.

Need Help

I haven't Rooted a phone since my old Droid X. I took the leap, did the S-Off with Sunshine, that went well. Now I'm faltering, been watching all the videos on the Forum and cant see where i'm failing. I installed TWRP manager able to get into HBOOT and Recovery. but whenever I try to run SuperSu it says i'm not Rooted.

Did I skip a step ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
You just need to flash supersu.zip in twrp. That installs the binaries needed for supersu app to work.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wireproof:
I saw this the other day, sweet news for us! My M8 is currently in the repair shop for a new USB board, wore out. When it's back I'm doing S-Off and using it over my Note 5. Will report back on how it went, hate being without root on both my Note 4 and Note 5! Stoked! It's Verizon so I couldn't use HTCDev and it killed me.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] morr22066:
Yes, been waiting for this for quite a while. I ran sunshine on Christmas day and finally got my HTC One M8 s-off and rooted.

Thanks for bringing this up, I just did this weekend but the first try the temp root didn't work and the device rebooted, but try it again if this happens to you as well because the next try it all worked
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] M-FayeHTC:
I wanted to check back in just to be another testimony that it truly does in fact work now!! It was so easy, I tried this about a month ago after I first saw this thread, it didn't take... Prob just needed to try it second time around. So, I got distracted on other things for a while & figured I would give it a shot. Worked perfectly first go round... only thing is I haven't gotten my phone rooted yet (a work in progress) as I said before I get distracted easily :P
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] andybones:
Congrats on freeing your phone. :good:

As for root, if you flash a custom ROM, root will come with the ROM.

If you want to stay on stock you can flash TWRP custom recovery then flash latest stable version of SuperSU in TWRP.
