[Zenfone 2 Laser General] capeorigins:
Where would I find the twrp? :) also, I could flash xposed through that right?

Or wait is that link the link to the twrp? Cuz I can't tell if that's our device specific or not
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] rajlko:
I will share twrp after some time, wait around 1 hour.

you do not need custom recovery to flash xposed.

you may find working xposed in first post.

[Zenfone 2 Laser General] xyberz09:
Could anyone with root run this command to get the list of OTA update download links?

cat /data/data/com.asus.dm/files/tree.xml
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] heywheelie:
Just curious but with an unlocked bootloader is there a need for the modified boot.img? I thought just pushing the TWRP recovery via flasboot then booting to TWRP and flashing the SU zip binary should give root.

Am I missing something?
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] rajlko:
yes, now we do not need modified boot image.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] capeorigins:
Certainly! When I get home haha. Just finished the new star wars! :D
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] xyberz09:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't flashing TWRP mean that you may no longer get OTA updates because OTA updates are differential patch files that can only be applied as long as system files are not modified? (besides unlocking the bootloader seems to mean you agree to give up your rights to system updates)

[MENTION=6793814]rajlko[/MENTION] can the modified boot.img file be used to root phones with locked bootloaders? Or would you need to patch system.img to get root? (for those who want to keep OTA updates as well as get root access)
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] rajlko:
Fastboot boot command will not work with locked bootloader, those who do not wish to unlock bootlaoder, may download new system patched file uploaded to same mega link.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] heywheelie:
Yes but that's no different to root on any mobile phone. Pity asus don't put out a full stock image that can be flashed like other manufacturers so we could make pre-rooted stock images and keep up to date that way.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] xyberz09:
Um, don't they do that already?

https://www.asus.com/in/support/Download/39/1/0/22/ZROQURlyupei1ZQz/32/
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] heywheelie:
That's just an update not a full image as far as I can see. I don't think you could install it on a fully wiped phone like you can with other pre-rooted stock images.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] xyberz09:
Are you sure about that? The latest OTA update (1.16.40.763) was only 315.21 MB in size. However, the firmware for the same version on ASUS' servers is 1.74 GB in size. The rooted firmware of the latest version posted to Mega by [MENTION=1813976]shakalaca[/MENTION] is also over a gigabyte in size (it's smaller because it's compressed using 7-zip).

From the looks of it, I believe the firmware files on ASUS' website are full blown stock ROMs.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] heywheelie:
When you download that zip and open it, it contains a boot image,a few other files and two folders, one called "Firmware Update"
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] xyberz09:
Do you have the entire list of files present in the ZIP? Does it have boot.img, system and recovery files?
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] capeorigins:
Btw, sorry I never got that list for you all, I apparently need linux. Haha
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] xyberz09:
Did you mean this? cat /data/data/com.asus.dm/files/tree.xml

If you have a rooted phone, you just need to install a terminal emulator app like this one and run type the following commands into it in sequence:

su
cat /data/data/com.asus.dm/files/tree.xml > /sdcard/ota-links.txt

You should then find a new file in your SD card called ota-links.txt. Hopefully, that'll contain links to OTA downloads.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] rajlko:
yes, firmware files at Asus website are full blown stock ROM (Asus modified, not stock 5.02. provided by google)
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] xyberz09:
Yeah, sorry I didn't mean to imply that they were Google supplied AOSP ROMs. I meant that if anything went wrong with your phone and you wanted to switch back to stock factory firmware supplied by Asus, you could flash one of those ROMs available on their website and lose all customization (except unlocked bootloader) and essentially revert to factory default version.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] rajlko:
yes,that s true, iff your user data has been corrupt in any way & you have clear user data & wipe factory reset from recovery

otherwise you will not loss your data just by flashing full firmware as usual happens normally.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] heywheelie:
Here is the complete list
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] heywheelie:
Are you sure? They look like updates to me. If I did a complete wipe of my phone (usual procedure before flashing a custom ROM) are you sure these files would restore the phone to a working state?
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] rajlko:
To get first root access to ze550kl, you have deleted everything from your phone, & that prerooted firmware restore your phone to a working state.

read commands for getting working root.

[Zenfone 2 Laser General] xyberz09:
You probably haven't enabled USB Debugging. You can get the driver from ASUS' support page (under the USB section). If you still can't get adb to detect your phone, try connecting your phone to a different USB port on the computer (preferably a USB 2.0 port).

How to install Xposed on ZE551KL?

How to install Xposed on ZE551KL? I want to install Xprivacy badly!

In the past, I installed Xprivacy on my Samsung and LG devices. It was way easier back then, just download Xprivacy installer and it'd guide you to install Busybox and Xposed framework.

Could anyone provide a step-by-step guide? Thx!
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] jose makalolot:
Install xposed framework v78.

Install busybox if you haven't.

Install xposed.

Install xposed module you like.

Posted using a calculator.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] Ricsh7:
I've watched several Youtube videos on how to install Xposed manually, and they all stated that twrp is needed. I wonder if twrp is needed to install Xposed on ZE55LKL. If it is needed, how to install it?

I used to own LG volt, rooted it with just 1 click and installed Xposed without twrp. It seems everything has gotten so difficult after lollipop.

Thanks for answering!
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] rajlko:
Hey mate, do not worry, it s very easy process to install xposed, please have a look at this thread & follow steps.

http://xdaforums.com/zenfone-2-laser/general/wroking-xposed-ze550kl-t3247915

I assume, you have installed usb driver of your device, downloaded adb & fastboot in your system.

download zip file from that thread, unzip, click install xposedframework, it will start process, when asked for root right, provide it through your phone.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] AcmeWidgets:
One thing I'm confused on do we run adb through our computer with the phone hooked up to the computer or adb on the phone? On my last phone samsung galaxy s4 sometimes you ran it with your phone hooked up to the computer and using the computer and then there was an app you can have on your phone called terminal emulator.

I have a rooted device how to update the firmware?

I have a rooted device of version 1.15.40 but I want to update it to version 1.16.40. Can you help me in this?:fingers-crossed:
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] xyberz09:
Already rooted

https://mega.nz/#F!lodnzDhK!H5ChxausDTyko1qGlnF7dw!Fg9FwLoa, the same link present in the original thread about ZE550KL rooting was updated to add a pre-rooted image for ZE550KL_WW_1.16.40.763 as well.

This alternative rooting method of flashing a pre-rooted firmware is useful only if you want root access but would rather not unlock your bootloader and install a custom TWRP recovery as doing that would (probably) void warranty claiming rights.

If you don't care about that, you could follow the instructions on the first page of this thread to get root or simply flash TWRP on your phone, available here and flash SuperSU ZIP package to get root.

Thanks for root @rajlko! ¿ROMs?

I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year! :good::D

Well I've managed to root my ZE551KL on latest firmware 1.16.40.763, thank you [MENTION=6793814]rajlko[/MENTION]!

I suppose (hopefully) that ROMs are going to start rolling out for the ZE551KL's, but I've been searching online and found some CM ROMs for other Zenfone 2 models. My question is do ROMs for other Zenfone 2 models work on the ZE551KL or do the ROMs have to be specifically made for the ZE551KL? I'm really looking for an awesome "be-bloated" ROM.

I really like the Google Play Edition ROMs, they're just simple.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] decentguy49:
AT present there is CM based available for only Asus ZenFone 2 which is powered by Intel Processor and our device is powered by Snapdragon so that ROM will not work as every device has different ROM for itself, you cant flash any other ROM to your device.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] palomino6294:
Ah, thank you. I really hope we get to see some ROMs for our ZE551KL, hopefully our device is not left in the dark.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] karatche:
What is necessary to develop a custom rom for this device now? Just a developer? I mean now that we have root- isn't that all thats left?
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] amol8356:
Its very confusing.. I have unlocked bootloader for ze550kl...which method do i use for rooting?
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] rajlko:
up to you, if you just need root then use modified boot image.

if you want twrp then use twrp, flash supersu zip file.
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] heywheelie:
It would be nice to be able to create a simple pre-rooted stock ROM complete with TWRP recovery and SuperSU 2.52 without having to wait for someone else to do it for us.

Can you use a Linux based computer to connect to the phone to run the commands? (Mint 17.3)

I downloaded some ADB command line tools, from the package installer which were unverified or something like that, but they did install from the Mint/Ubuntu repository.

I also downloaded the UnlockApp_ze551kl_release_20151211_signed.apk directly from Asus, but not to my phone, rather to my computer.

[Zenfone 2 Laser General] rczrider:
It's great that they took care of your phone under warranty, despite the unlocked bootloader!

I always speculated that one of the reasons the unlock APK needed network access was to report to ASUS that you unlocked your bootloader. And maybe it does actually report back to them and they don't care? Or you get one service before they cut you off? Or you got lucky? Either way, good for you :)
[Zenfone 2 Laser General] rajlko:
after service, I asked them how long warranty period remain they said, one year remaining you purchased from distributor.

cannot say anything about network access of unlock APK.
