Make sure you have enough space on your SD Card to do a complete backup first, then do a factory reset on the phone.

Extract the downloaded .7z to your pc then open the folder. Shift + Right Click to open a command prompt. Put the phone into bootloader (vol up + power) then type "flashall_AFT WW_ZC550KL_V13.8.26.15_M3.1.39_Phone-user.raw" on the command prompt.

Wait for it to finish, and voila, you have upgraded to Android M.

Failed to Unlock your device, please try again

Hey Guys,

I am on the latest build .98 (8939 Device) for Z010D . When I tried to use apk for unlocking I am getting error "Failed to Unlock your device, please try again." Any suggestion?
[Asus Zenfone Max Guides, News, & Discussion] Abhishek P G:
make sure you have used the unlock tool for msm8939 and not msm8916.Bootloader unlock tool is available for both devices in the site.You may have got the wrong one.

I was using the correct APK, issue is that unlock tool cannot be used without SIM card. After inserting sim card it worked like charm.

Zenfone 4 Max ZC554KL arriving tomorrow

I'm going to get Zenfone 4 Max tomorrow and I'm just wondering if I can use the above tutorial for ROOT and TWRP. The model is fairly new I think they just released it last month or two months ago. As far as I know it is running Snapdragon 430.

If said tutorial can't be of any help for me, do you guys have any sources on how I can do it?

And also sources on unlocking the bootloader too if its not that much of a hassle.

Many thanks!

[Asus Zenfone Max Guides, News, & Discussion] Abhishek P G:
Yes you need to unlock bootloader in order to flash twrp.Flashing twrp has same procedure.Unlock your bootloader with the apk from this thread.Get the adb drivers and minimal fastboot driver from this thread and twrp file as well.Install the drivers in your pc.Connect your phone in fastboot mode.Open the cmd in the folder where you have placed the twrp file and type in .

fastboot flash recovery 'file name of twrp'.img

Just check the thread i have provided the steps are mentioned in detail.NOTE:Use the files from this thread only(i.e thread by mirichiem)

What is the procedure for rooting Asus ZenFone Max ZC550KL and requirements for rooting it

---------- Post added at 12:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 AM ----------

When I type 'fastboot flash recovery 'file name of twrp'.img it shows me can't load the file.img i.e the file name of twrp .img
[Asus Zenfone Max Guides, News, & Discussion] Abhishek P G:
by file name i meant the name with which the twrp file is stored in your pc(a file can be given any name and cmd needs to know which file it is that you want to flash).Also in the command you don't need the single quotes.

I unlocked bootloader successfully using the official asus unlocker app. and then also flashed twrp recovery to my mobile successfuly using windows software using fastboot mode as per the instructions.

But then I tried to immediately boot into recovery using volume down + power key but only the asus boot screen appears and nothing happens at all.

then i long press power button and restarted phone and it boot normally but then stock recovery comes back.

I am unable to boot into twrp recovery. Tried many times. Please help.

I was accidentally fixed it while flashing Stock ROM (56 TWRP) and then do root after flashing before booting. well, I do download the supersu after my device system rebooted and flash it again in TWRP. all in just under 15 minutes if I'm not lost count. cmiiw

Thanks for reply, but that also didn't work. I've tried combining multiple versions of ROMs, TWRPs, SuperSUs, now it gets stuck at boot animation after every attempt to flash SuperSU. I don't get it, there must be something terribly wrong with my phone. Maybe I have some special unrootable version, who knows... Interestingly, it can run unofficial ROMs with no problems, but I want stock rooted and instead, I have headache...
