[ZenFone 2 General] drsooraj:
does this work for ASUS _Z00UD model with firmware WW_1.14.40.695 ?

thanks in advance

edit: okay installed..booted recovery..thank you :)
[ZenFone 2 General] :
Any way to check whether the bootloader is currently unlocked?

What is "usb depuration"? Perhaps you meant "usb debugging".

Also:

1) Touch screen is unresponsive once the device boots into recovery mode. That actually prevents the installation of SuperSU.

2) What does the permissive boot file stand for?
[ZenFone 2 General] klchaw:
im facing the same issue
[ZenFone 2 General] drsooraj:
Any succes with viper4android? I disabled stock equaliser using link2sd, still viper fails to work.. Any suggestion?

edit : put SELinux into permissive mode and success :D
[ZenFone 2 General] zezinhocrack:
In the folder , put a permissive version of kernel for ZFS WW , here V4A works perfectly without the use of SelinuxMode .
[ZenFone 2 General] Curious_Layman:
Fantastic!!

Thank you so much Zezinhocrack. worked flawlessly for me. I now have a rooted selfie. so happy!! :good: :o
[ZenFone 2 General] itsmelutfor:
Which firmware version do u hv? Didnt work on my ww. 1. 14. 40. 695.
[ZenFone 2 General] Curious_Layman:
selfie root

yes i had the same firmware ww_1.14.40.695_20151114. however i'll just list out a few things i noticed while doing my root:

1. i downloaded the unlock bootloader app from asus website, even though i had unlocked my bootloader earlier. still i thought i should do it once more before i start the procedure mentioned in OP of this thread. installed the app and unlocked bootloader.

2. dont forget to enable "usb debug mode" in your phone before connecting.

3. Remember to copy the recoveryzd551kl.img file to the same folder in which adb.exe is there. for me it was in folder "platform-tools".

4. after the first command "adb devices" my windows 8.1 pc didnt list any device. so i had to install asus pc suite on my pc. after that after restart pc, it was able to detect my phone connected to the pc when i used the command "adb devices".

after that i just followed the procedure and installed BETAsupersu zip file from external sd card, when i fastboot into twrp.

Got a rooted phone!! :D

(I dont like junk on my phone or pc. so uninstalled asus pc suite :p as soon as my work was finished)

hope it helps!!

TWRP - same unworking touch

Hi everybody. I got the same problem with unworking touch.

The firmware is CN_1.14.40.695_20151114

The .img file is CN version (thougth I tried both)

* The strange thing is that the only way for me to get to the TWRP recovery is directly after flashing the recovery to run "fastboot reboot -recovery" and same time to start holding turn-off + volume down (both buttons for around 7 seconds).

"fastboot oem reboot-recovery" leads me to the stock recovery, "fastboot reboot -recovery" without holding buttons also leads to the stock recovery or sometimes just turn on the phone.

And after reloading the phone I cannot get to the TWRP in any way, so need to flash again every time...

p.s. also during in TWRP if once to press turn-off button, there will appear lock screen and 'swype to unlock' bar, but still nothing can move.

Hope there is a solution:(
[ZenFone 2 General] carnby24:
Just flashed twrp..touch doesnt work either...

Arghhh..why isnt anyone working on this selfie phone, it has good battery life, more RAM...why? why?
[ZenFone 2 General] jellyfeels:
and better front camera too
[ZenFone 2 General] carnby24:
I think there is a hate agenda against the Selfie...:P
[ZenFone 2 General] jellyfeels:
i think the main reason why there no or very slow development on zenfone selfie is there no specific forum for this phone here on xda, that why developer having difficultly on developing custom rom and any other thing and related to zenfone selfie

just my 2 cent :P
[ZenFone 2 General] zezinhocrack:
the slow development is a result of lack of cooperation forum users , those with any average or advanced knowledge do not seek help, then left for those who have the least knowledge and good will ...
[ZenFone 2 General] zezinhocrack:
Alert:

Ask users who are in touch the problem does not work after the flash TWRP , to send me this topic the link to download the stock version of the current recovery unit and the firmware version you use.

I will do some testing and try to help everyone if possible.
[ZenFone 2 General] Sviat_ua:
Hi,

my firmware is CN_1.14.40.695, you can take it here: w ww. asus. com /Phone/ ZenFone_Selfie_ZD551KL/HelpDesk_Download/ (sorry for the link with spaces, cannot post links yet cause I am new user) and my current recovery is the basic recovery - LRX22G.CN_user_1.14.40.695_20151114. I was trying to flash the CN version TWRP recovery taken from this topic.

Thank you!!!

If you find a solution, please, let me know! You can check out that - forum . xda- developers. com/ zenfone2 /general /tool-asus-ze nfone-selfie- toolkit-v 0-1-t3241522 . This guy made one program, which probably may root the phone without changing the recovery. I'm trying it now, the developer says that last version can work with 1.14.40.695.
[ZenFone 2 General] carnby24:
yeh but the dowload site is a spam
[ZenFone 2 General] Sviat_ua:
You should "download through your browser", there's no spam - here

I'm checking it now but the firmware is downloading soooo slow, alredy 8 hours, maybe because I'm using VPN... maybe you can also try it
[ZenFone 2 General] carnby24:
yeh my bad....but still, one more question..if you root it....does it replace all the apps file on my phone with a pre-rooted image?
[ZenFone 2 General] Sviat_ua:

Cannot acces TWRP

Hey [MENTION=2114231]zezinhocrack[/MENTION], can you help me, I've updated to the 1.15.40 rom, unlocked bootloader, and pushed the pre-rooted rom to the selfie, and everything is working, but I cannot push the TWRP from your mega folder to the phone (twrp/new files). Everything goes ok, but I keep being sent back to the "normal" recovery. I tried everything.

This is the most frustrating phone I ever had. Cannot downgrade to 1.14 cause the oficial firmware downloaded from asus cannot be sideloaded via recovery update adb (i get the cannot read *.zip error on every single pc I used, windows 10, windows 7, multiple downloads and so on), I cannot return to stock for the same motive. Man, help me please!

-- pt-BR --

[MENTION=2114231]zezinhocrack[/MENTION], consegue me ajudar? Eu fiz o update pra rom 1.15.40, tenho o bootloader destravado e consegui enviar a rom 1.15 pre-roteada pro selfie. Está tudo ok, mas NÃO consigo acessar o twrp que tem na sua pasta do mega, baixo normal, quando flasheio via adb tudo vai bem, mas quando reinicio para recovery, ainda tenho a recovery "normal".

Comprei a pouco tempo e esse tem sido o telefone mais frustrante que já tive. Não consigo fazer o downgrade ou voltar para stock porque por alguma razão as roms que baixei do site da asus não conseguem ser lida via adb sideload, mesmo tentando em DEZENAS de computadores e sistemas operacionais diferentes, recebo sempre o erro sideload cannot read *.zip. Dureza! Me ajuda por favor, pelo menos a colocar o TWRP pra tentar voltar a stock e devolver esse telefone e pegar um com mais suporte.

Follow the steps proposed by zezinhocrack, just use TWRP recovery version 3 for ASUS Zenfone 2 Laser Z00T from official TWRP website.

TWRP worked fine, SuperSU was installed, phone is now rooted.

[ZenFone 2 General] zipixel:
It Works for me...!

Phone rooted and TWRP installed with success. :good:

FW: WW_1.15.40.1023_20160121

Android Version 5.0.2

Followed instructions without particular problems, only at first tentative it fails to install Recovery I think was my fail! But at second all works accordingly instructions.

Pay attention at the sequence of commands at point 6 ....!!!

6- Within the adb folder , run the following command prompt type in sequence :

adb devices

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery recoveryZD551KL.img

fastboot oem reboot-recovery (The attribute "reboot-recovery" is a STRING with no spaces)

After entered into TWRP recovery mode the Root WILL BE Flashed and NOT Installed after normal reboot....!

I hope it will be useful.

Note: All The ASUS Rubbish has been removed...! :)

Whenever i try to unlock my device's bootloader using the provided unlock tool by asus i get the following message "An unknown error occurs, which maybe network connection issue please try again later"

What should i do?
[ZenFone 2 General] :
Only for those who want a rooted OS image.

Full means as it comes from the manufacturer, Slim means without custom preinstalled software.

Current root procedure does not require a full OS image, you can just root the existing OS and remove all the softwae you eventually find useless.

[ZenFone 2 General] daniu:
Hi,

I know this post is old, but I am still confused (probably part of the reason is the lack of an own category for the zenfone laser) and got some questions:

*does this method need unlocking the bootloader? (which means if I am correct: loosing warranty). The linked manual does not say anything about it ...

*if it needs unlocking the bootloader: is there any method that would give me the ability to flash things and use root without the need of an unlocked bootloader? Or: is there a way to relock the bootloader?

*Furthermore: if this does not need unlocking the bootloader: how would I install new stock ROMs? Do I need to do anything like unrooting, or the like or just go to the same source and dirtyflash (or even wipe everything and clean flash) the new version? I guess OTA won't work - which is not really important for me.

I can understand that vendors want to cancel warranty in some cases because root enables you to destroy the hardware. The problem is: it also helps to gain some nice features that definitely don't harm the hardware.

Is there some good starting point to learn about Zenfone Selfie - how to:

*use root

*install Xposed

*maybe install TWRP

Generally: which forum on XDA is for Zenfone selfie? Quite confusing ...

regards
[ZenFone 2 General] shihaam_ab_r:
*That method don't need an unlocked bootloader

*You can flash Pre-rooted Stock system.img without unlocked bootloader, and flash files with adb, but that is difficult and complicated: I don't know any method to re-lock bootloader, BUT THERE MIGHT BE!

*You can Install new stock ROM with stock recovery. (even if rooted or unlocked bootloader)

*use root: Figure it yourself :p :p :p

*Install Xposed HERE

*Install TWRP HERE

Zenfone Selfie forums are Here

I know it says "Zenfone 2 Laser", but its for Zenfone 2 Laser and Selfie

Posts with [ZOOT] are for Zenfone Selfie, you can find answers for your questions there.
[ZenFone 2 General] daniu:
Hi

Great - thanks a lot!

Just to clear up things completely here:

*I read that unlocking the bootloader might cancel warranty (if it's done with the official asus tool) no matter you are able to lock it later again.

Besides that I wonder: would flashing stock rom give you a locked bootloader again?

*so I guess I can flash a stock ROM over the existing system (or wipe partitions before doing so to get back the phone to stock status. The question is: where would I get this stock rom? Directly from asus?

Besides that I'm going to check the other forum - thanks!
