I used the latest 5.0.6.
[ZenFone 2 General] carabaothai:
where do you find the 352 ? When i go to the Asus Website and click on Download i have a new page with "file not found" :(

before 352 was your phone already rooted ?

If yes. What did you do to flash the new rom ? (and the order please) :)
[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:
First unroot and remove xposed 8f there. Then update to 352 using system update, then flash latest twrp, then flash magisk and other things
[ZenFone 2 General] prosquos:
Yes, my phone was already rooted on .327. My procedure actually has been:

1) first I flashed the stock recovery and boot images with the Giovix92's tool in order to remove root and xposed framework ****

2) Then I downloaded and installed the update just searching OTA on my device

3) I unlocked again the bootloader ***

4) Installed the TWRP 3.1.1 **

5a) Flashed the zip of Magisk 13.2 by TWRP

5b) Installed the Magisk apk version 5.0.5

6) Installed xposed *

**** IMPORTANT: pay attention to the .img's version! They must have the same version of the current firmware on the device (before updating it).

How can you check it? Reading the changelog in the Giovix92's tool folder.

(i.e. current firmware on the device is .327, I want to update it to .352 ----> recovery, boot must be version .327!)

*** To unlock the bootloader and the TWRP I used the Giovix92's tool but just because I'm used to it, though I think the tools in this thread or every else could be fine.

** In order to flash the latest TWRP, I downloaded the latest twrp.img (version 3.1.1), then installed by replacing it in the correspondent folder of Giovix92's tool

* Also for xposed I used the Giovix92's tool
[ZenFone 2 General] carabaothai:
Very good explanation

Thanks

Magisk 13.2 ✔ safetynet .327 but in the . 352 update have fails?

Confirm any here if check safety net in 352.
[ZenFone 2 General] prosquos:
Yes, for me the SafetyNet check fails (352) but it could be due to xposed or anything that modifies heavily the system as said by Kapil Tapsi. For more details I invite you to give a look back to the previous page.
[ZenFone 2 General] carabaothai:
i made all like this

the 352 is installed

no boot loops

OK

Then Xposed OK

and after all i installed the magisk 5.05.apk (then update 5.06)

But when i start Magisk on the phone. I have the message Magisk not installed.

I installed the last magisk 13.2 for zf2_601

What i missed ?
[ZenFone 2 General] carabaothai:
also since the update the USB file transfer doesn't work. Only charging. I tried all the settings (MTP, PTP, RNDIS, Audio, Midi ...) but only charging is working. ANd sometimes when i plug the usb cable ....the phone stops. Must restart.

Somebody had already this problem ?
[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:
Google has updated safety net. So for majority of users safety net is failed. Please wait for future updates.
[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:
Try factory reset if possible or try flashing clean.

[ZenFone 2 General] PrinceLys:
EDIT: Info: magisk 13.2 and I was going to change it to magisk v13.3

Can you help me?

Just now I uninstall magisk using 20170711 in twrp then after that I reboot system then it comes back to twrp, it wont continue to system.

heres what I did so far...

~flash magisk uninstaller 20170711 in twrp (EDIT: magisk-uninstaller-20170711 from official thread)

~reboot system (goes back to twrp)

~reboot recovery then reboot system (goes back to twrp)

~reboot bootloader then normal boot (goes back to twrp)

~turn off then after a few minutes I turn it on (goes to twrp)

~wipe dalvik then reboot system (goes back to twrp)

~I flash the latest magisk uninstaller 20170717 in twrp (found stock boot and magisk not installed)

~reboot system (goes back to twrp)

Please help me thank you.

(note: before I flash magisk uninstaller I turn off developer option)(now im scared I should have always turn it on in case I encounter problems)

EDIT: additional info might help...

~have backup system and data (7days ago)(I used it recently july 15). *developer option turn ON that time

~have tried uninstall magisk 12 (no problem) then flash magisk 13.2
[ZenFone 2 General] Hardyan:
Unroot magisk, flash stock boot same version and repeat operation flash only magisk this first post no update for the application.
[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:
This happened with me too. For solution I did flash magisk again then it booted up. Although if you want to unroot and not planning to root again then flash stock recovery and then flash same firmware using adb. It will surely help you.
[ZenFone 2 General] PrinceLys:
I have magisk v13.3 by you :) ready in my internal storage

should I flash it now?
[ZenFone 2 General] PrinceLys:
to be honest I am very scared right now because of developer option not turn ON. "USB Debugging OFF" I cannot do adb if I encountered problems

THANK YOU very much... now it boots up :victory:

I should go backup again just in case... and I should always turn on developer option, usb debugging ON forever

btw, is your firmware now 352?
[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:
Nope. Resurrection remix 5.8.3
[ZenFone 2 General] MirkoCe:
Does this also work with the 4.21.40.352 firmware?
[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:
Ofcourse yes. It work on every rom 5+.
[ZenFone 2 General] prosquos:
So the right procedure to update Magisk is:

- flash unistaller of current version of Magisk by TWRP

- then flash the new one without reboot the system

- install the new version apk once device is turned on

Can anyone conferm it???

Or that's need to flash stock boot.img before flashing the new version of Magisk?
[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:
The above procedure is best. But you can simply flash new Magisk zip without uninstalling. It is not bad either.
[ZenFone 2 General] vEget7:
Hi! i just want to ask if it's gonna work on android 5.0 based stock rom? thank you.
[ZenFone 2 General] carabaothai:
For me safetynet check is false
[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:
Try enabling hide magisk in magisk manager settings.
[ZenFone 2 General] Hardyan:

[ZenFone 2 General] prosquos:
I updated Magisk from 13.2 to 13.3, it removes xposed so if you are interested to have it, you have to flash xposed framework again.

Besides, I noticed that after updating Magisk (so with no xposed) SafetyNet check was fine; after xposed re-flashing SafetyNet check failed. So, how Kapil Tapsi previously said, SafetyNet fails when xposed is installed.
[ZenFone 2 General] carabaothai:
I uninstalled xposed.apk and uninstalled xposed with TWRP flash xposed-uninstaller

But safetynet doesn't work.
[ZenFone 2 General] prosquos:
Try to unhide and hide again Magisk in options.
[ZenFone 2 General] carabaothai:
This morning I just start my phone.

I no made anything else and... Safety net is working :laugh:

I couldn't use Bootloader Unlocker.bat - didn't understand why - it just sticks with doing nothin, so I unlock my bootloader with another tool. After that everything was perfect - I installed TWRP and rooted my Asus. I am using last official firmware WW ..... 40.327 and I had a lot of troubles trying to root the phone with other tools

Thanks to developer :)
[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:
Unlocker work good. Still I am glad you could unlock from other tools.
[ZenFone 2 General] Najjah:

Great initiative and excellent support through Telegram. Thank you very much! Unlocked and rooted on Marshmallow.

[ZenFone 2 General] PepNYC:
Kapil, so all I have to do is run the root/unroot bat file and then I can update and root again?
[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:
Yes. Bootlader should be unlocked and twrp should be there.

Hello i have a problem after doing root on my Zenfone 2 with this method. I've succesfully rooted the phone, then did the unroot and after that im stuck in TWRP bootloop. Could u guys help me? Any suggestions?
[ZenFone 2 General] halsky690:
how version twrp ??? new version . and reinstall magisk
[ZenFone 2 General] therafw:
Version is 3.1.1-0, could u explain to me what do u mean by that? Im kinda newbie in this topic.
[ZenFone 2 General] PrinceLys:
just simply flash magisk again (if you want to root).

or just flash stock boot (if you dont want to root).

it will load fully to system..

I encountered it 2 times when unroot using magisk uninstaller (always boot at recovery and got fix by flashing magisk again "root"),

Second fix I use stock boot (I was going to upgrade to 352 that time and I can go load fully to system then I upgrade.. of course I did flash stock recovery too)
[ZenFone 2 General] zonexo:
Happened to me too. But when I check again, it's installed and the icon is there. Maybe you can check.
[ZenFone 2 General] PepNYC:
So I ran the root/unroot bat file to unroot so I could install the 352 OTA update. It said everything went fine but now it will only boot into TWRP. Anyone have any suggestions?

Or is that the way it's supposed to work and I have to download the firmware zip file to my phone and install it manually from within TWRP and then reroot?
[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:
Flash stock recovery then flash 327 and 352. U will be ok.
[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:
Fastboot to flash stock recovery. Adb for flashing stock rom.

Hi!

After rooting my ZF2, am i able to downclock the CPU core speeds? All 4 cores running @21% (500 Mhz), even on idle. But why, if its unnecessary? And from a single touch, all of the cores are speeding up to the maximum for a few moments. Its eveything, but not power efficiency.

My wifes S5 shutting down 3 cores when the phone is on idle. Can i do the same with an appclication on ZF2 after rooting, or is this impossible because of the ****ty Intel chipset?
[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:
No, It is not untethered.
[ZenFone 2 General] Giovix92:
Try kernel adiutor, then After you disables 3 cores enable set on boot

Yes you can manually install ota update i.e. fota, But you have to unroot it first and install stock recovery.

Phone unroot after wiping cache and dalvik

Thank you very much for your guide, but my root status are gone after reboot. I've never unlocked my bootloader on LP, maybe that is the reason why my phone unroot itself? I've followed your instruction carefully, and my phone root status still gone. Idk why, perhaps because I wiped cache and dalvik? I already re-root my phone twice. Btw, my marshmallow version is .134

my first root installation order was:

unlock bootloader (phone stuck in white asus logo)-> install twrp -> restore bootloader -> install root (3 flashable zips, same install order) -> reboot to system (there are optimizing apps screen, so dalvik cache are wiped right?) -> phone rooted -> installed viper4android driver(selinux mode changed to permissive) -> reboot (optimizing apps screen again) -> phone unrooted, but viper4android driver is installed

My second root installation order was:

unlock bootloader (phone stuck in white asus logo) -> install root (3 flashable zips, same install order) -> restore bootloader -> reboot to system (there are optimizing apps screen, so dalvik cache are wiped right?) -> phone rooted -> reboot to make sure my root status are still rooted -> my phone still rooted -> reboot and wipe cache and dalvik to make sure my root status is still rooted -> my phone is still rooted -> reinstalled viper4android driver (selinux mode changed to permissive) -> reboot (optimizing apps screen again) -> phone unrooted

I use different twrp image tho, the one i used are the repacked ones, but it's the latest version, and for the bootloader unlocker, i use the newer one from the link that you posted, perhaps a slight difference affect the root status? And have you tried to wipe cache and dalvik or installed viper4android? Are your rooted phone unroot itself of not?

Thanks in advance!

[ZenFone 2 General] miniGAMER01:
Hi,

I'm already rooted, with xposed installed, and bootloader unlocked (at least I can write recovery, it was unlocked in LP), but I used the more "classical" method, with systemless superSU and systemless Xposed. Now I'd like to use this method because it's using magisk, and is better than the one I'm using. If I remember correctly magisk author recommend to do the operation on a factory state phone, tho I don't want to get trough the hassle of reinstalling everything. If I uninstall root access and SuperSU via the app, and remove Xposed with a temporary twrp, will I be able to use magisk without problems ? There might be a few things that modified my system partition, but I think, this can be returned to normal.

What will happened if this doesn't work ? Just stuck at bootloader, or semi bricked ?

Thanks for the answer.
[ZenFone 2 General] Giovix92:
Simply, if you have a systemless root+xposed, then unroot, uninstall xposed & reflash stock boot.img. Then you're ready to flash Magisk&other Magisk related stuffs. ;)

Thanks for the guide. I did not unlock the bootloader on Lollipop, but everything still works fine even after reboot.
[ZenFone 2 General] abhi9029:
In the 3rd step it is showing 'waiting for connection' all the time. By disabling USB debug in android settings -> developers option it will go to bootloader mode and then after it cmd screen message as 'waiting for connnection ...' and it didn't move further. (Waited for half an hour to see if anything happens but nothing happens so I rebooted my phone as back to home page )

[ZenFone 2 General] PepNYC:
Thanks Kapil. Is there a thread that can walk me through the process?

Where I can get the stock recovery file? I know how to load it.

Where to get the stock rom and how to flash that one I'm not sure.
[ZenFone 2 General] carabaothai:
I flashed directly from 223 to 352.

Is it a problem?

Did I had to flash the 327 before the 352?

I think not but you write this :)

---------- Post added at 03:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 AM ----------

I installed again

Didn't install xposed and all is ok
[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:
Though it should not be a problem if size of 352 is 1gb+ which is not I think. Main motive is to flash whole system again not just some update. So if you have correct file (size 1gb+) for 352 then flash.

Otherwise you May have some risk of bootloop.
[ZenFone 2 General] carabaothai:
I always flash the whole system

Always flashed with 1.2Gb file downloaded from Asus Website

Never flashed with the small update file around 350 mb.

And never had problems.
[ZenFone 2 General] PrinceLys:
first, you must have already read it from previous post

(About booting again into twrp after unroot)(i have posted this problem and got solved).

Second, to update your firmware.. heres what I did in details.

(EDIT: NOTE my firmware is 223)

1. I unroot

2. Reboot system (encountered boot to twrp again)

3. Flash stock boot (my case, in rummsbumms download directory stock 223 "recovery and boot", or just download whole firmware in asus site then extract and get the boot image file)

(did not flash recovery yet just in case)

4. Reboot system (to check if wont reboot to twrp)

5. After fully booting up to system, I go back to fastboot again to flash the stock recovery.

6. Check if the recovery if its in stock now

7. Reboot and update OTA

Done.

8. Proceed to rooting again (352 now)

9. Flash twrp

10. Backup everything

11. Flash magisk 13.3 (by kapil tapsi) in twrp

12. Uninstall magisk manager (uninstall from all user)

13. Install magisk manager 5.1.1 (in magisk official thread)

Now your rooted again

OTA update

Hello , I want to do an ota update to .352 (now .327) . What step should I do? Should I unroot and uninstall xposed first before do the update? And I'm using custom kernel , should I flash stock kernel first?

Thanks in advance :)
[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:
In Zenfone telegram group some one provided update flashable via twrp. I don't have it now. Try that. Make sure to make backup.

Can u give latest twrp link and how to upgrade bcoz i m on 3.0.2 twrp . how to upgrade magisk 13.3 mention that also. i m using custom rom resurrection remix
[ZenFone 2 General] Rampera:
I'm currently on WW_2.20.40.1.198_20160930 (no root, bootloader locked) planning on flashing to WW-4.21.40.134 so that I can flash Resurrection Remix-N 5.8.3 as it requires stock MM, and TWRP.

Can I flash to stock MM first, then use your bootloader unlock to install TWRP?

Or

Should I use your bootloader unlock first then flash to stock MM?
[ZenFone 2 General] zonexo:
Hi, I've got the same problem. I'm on LL 198 with TWRP 3.1.1. I have problem at step 3. I tried to use the following commands in fastboot:

fastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img

I then got the android robot with the error "no command"

I also use the Zenfone 2 ToolKit by rummsbumms to unroot. It doesn't have the 198 version so I created my own. However, it still boot to TWRP.

In the end, I've to flash back the Magisk 13.3 by Kapil Tapsi to get things working again. But then, I can't do an OTA.

Any idea or help? Thanks.
[ZenFone 2 General] PrinceLys:
android robot with error means u are on stock recovery. "Proceed with holding vol. up button + power button then release only the power button" (now your inside recovery).

If you cant recieved OTA, you can use sideloading or put the downloaded MM firmware on ur internal storage (not on any folder) then restart phone.

I forgot if thats the last version of LL (prerequisite for upgrading to MM) be sure to check everything "stock boot, stock recovery (EDIT: must be the same of your current ver. firmware)", (prerequisite ver. of firmware shoul be use before upgrading to MM) it can be check from official asus site.

Goodluck.
[ZenFone 2 General] uniacidz:
Just my experience with this.

I tried this with Mashmallow latest and didnt work so great at all.

Managed to unlock bootloader 'i think' AS went white bootscreen and then went back which i think is normal and installed TWRP and then Majisk and then the phone kept looping into TWRP

I had not way of recovering and decided to wipe if completly, installed RAW image and then upgrade to the latest Lollipop 5 which was released within a month ago.

I am now on Lollipop and unlocked bootloader and rooted and phone working and new update also seems to be cleaner and fresher and such in comparison to Marshmallow new variant.

Honestly, not much different between the two.

I did use the bat files when i installed initially but i reckon was TWRP which caused the issue

Something strange though

I had installed Marshmallow and was using it for days and when I had the issues and went back to Lollipop, it went back to a virtually installed state, basically my TWRP backup of 1 month ago even though has been wiped, RAWed, Wiped, Rawed again, wiped again and stuck with Lollipop.

Saved me alot of time but miffed as to how
[ZenFone 2 General] PrinceLys:
I got no problems at MM...

there are pro's and con's between those 2,

but base on my experienced MM is better than LL. The only BIG difference is the camera taking pictures while traveling with high speed moving scenery.

LL firmware is the best I love it no blured no details loss.

While MM firmware, img blured and too many details loss.. especially when taken in sideways

(sad thing I can longer enjoy taking pictures while traveling, now that im in MM)

I will attach 2 pictures taken in LL firmware last ver.

NOTE: it was arround 65-80km/h yet the coconut is very detailed
[ZenFone 2 General] uniacidz:
I see what you mean

Maybe during my install of MM I got process wrong

I did the boot unlocker, then TWRP then root Majisk via TWRP

Maybe I was supposed to hop on one leg also
