Thanks for the info. And you must have changed to stock recovery.

Yes, I flashed stock mm recovery over twrp, then installed the full .223 Rom from stock recovery.

Help

i need help ..

i installed everything correctly .. and unknowingly i uninstalled SuperSU and i need it back. how ?

i tried installing SuperSU from play store ,but it says that i rooted my phone in some other way , so this wont work for you.
[ZenFone 2 General] gghdjjd:
So I've followed this completely and I'm at the step where you need to run TWRP.bat, so I run it but it doesn't flash (permission denied). The bootloader is unlocked and my lock screen is set to none. I have no idea what to do now :(

I've searched online and some people say that it flashes anyways, but when i run restore.bat and then reboot to recovery it says "No Command". Any ideas?
[ZenFone 2 General] saponga:
All went fine :) Thank you very much for sharing those scripts and special thanks to developers that wrote those tools !!! I'm just scratching the surface of this android world... Coming from 6 years of Nokia N900. Thanks again !!!
[ZenFone 2 General] audit13:
Did you try re-rooting with this script?

Did you enabled USB debugging?
[ZenFone 2 General] gghdjjd:
Yeah of course. I wouldn't have been able to unlock the bootloader if USB debugging wasn't enabled, after all.
[ZenFone 2 General] Soorya Ramesh:
No . I encountered many issues while rooting via this method , and I don't want to do it again . My phone may get bricked .. is there any other way to get super SU back ?
[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:
No. At present there is no other way. The only way is flashing the zip that too with little possibility of bootloop. If you really want to try, make sure to have backup.

REQUEST: 'UNROOT' Official Firmware Version Original by Asus WW-4.21.40.223 (ANDROID)

Hiii Dev..., is there any way 'UNROOT' in particular for Official Firmware Version Original by Asus WW-4.21.40.223 (Andriod M)??? ? Please to give his tutorial... Thank You in advance.
[ZenFone 2 General] audit13:
I easily unrooted my phone that was running stock .223 by copying the full stock Asus firmware to a microSD card, flashing stock MM recovery using fastboot, booting directly into recovery, and selecting the "update from SD card" option.
[ZenFone 2 General] distant_thunder_89:
If you want to

just unroot

the phone you can go dirty and simply flash via fastboot the stock boot image, which can be found in the full ota zip. This removes systemless root, xposed and magisk frameworks (the respective manager apps remain of course and must be removed separately). Your method is effective, for sure, but simply flashing boot.img takes just 1-2 secs and you are not required to change recovery.
[ZenFone 2 General] audit13:
I went with my method because it was a method that I have used a few times because I bricked my phone a few times?

[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:
Whoa. Long list of questions :laugh:

1. If you follow guide and read FAQ, there are very less chance to get bootloot

But that too can be restored. One user got bootloop after using phh supersu zip and magisk. And the problem solved after flashing magisk uninstaller zip. So there may be problems and there are solutions. But have patience and backup.

2. All command are automatic. You don't need to type anything. You can see video for reference.

Stock lollipop can be rooted by one click installer which is in the forum.

3. Yes all working windows system are compatible. Yours too. Be sure to install adb fastboot and Google driver which is in the files. Sometimes the problem is due to data cable and sometimes due to pc. Try changing them.

4. Unroot is easy process. But I haven't uploaded it yet. But soon I will. As above mentioned it can be done by flashing system image all related apps can be uninstalled manually. And also I will upload automatic version of them too.

And If you want to install xosp, then why rooting? Just unlock bootloader and flash twrp. After that flash any rom you want from twrp.

Hope it help you. :cowboy:

Step1 Click app super user

Step2 click unroot

Thanks
[ZenFone 2 General] PrinceLys:
Can anyone help me... I encountered some problems here and I don't know what to do next... :confused:

here's a full detail of what I did:

before proceeding to part1 I check everything like installing every driver, checking connectivity (i use these commands in order "adb devices" displaying F4xxxxx devices, next "adb reboot bootloader" rebooting to fastboot, next "fastboot devices" displaying F4xxxxx fastboot) I use this to make sure my phone is connecting to the laptop properly.

Then I read again and followed every instructions and also watching the video tutorial.

task 1, I run unlock.bat then after its done it reboots with inverted white screen with logo then I run restore.bat just like in video. When it's done it reboots BUT there's no sign of warning "failed verification" until it fully loads up.

I go back to fastboot again and proceed to task 2 "flashing twrp recovery and rooting". After running twrp.bat it says "flash succesfully" and the program closed by itself, then I go to recovery mode after rebooting I saw android error just like how it use to be. I press power button + volume up then release the volume up then I see the stock recovery (which it should be TWRP since I've done flashing it). I rewatch the video then I carefully analyze the notice saying "if you see failed verification warning then it means bootloader is UNLOCKED. don't press any key here"

then I conclude that my bootloader is still locked since there's no warning display of "failed verification". So I repeat the steps again and go back to task 1 (then here comes the problem)...

After running unlock.bat, it reboot and the screen is inverted but it's stuck up to white logo, I waited for a while but nothing happens so I tried to reboot my phone "holding power button (power off)" when power on, it wont turn on, no vibration just a sound on laptop "connected sound and disconnected sound" I tired to power it on many times but still no luck I got panicked, jittery walking back and forth :eek::crying:. Then I disconnect the usb cable and I tried to turn it on and suddenly I feel the vibration on my phone then it boots up but still stuck in white screen then it restart after keeping it for too long (while watching videos related to my problem)...

then my friend here said "ohh it bootloop" he read the instruction and he said to try this

"FAQ 1. Stuck at white screen with asus logo?

Sol. a) White screen means you are unlocked (action of unlock.bat), so you may give a try to restore.bat in fastboot mode."

and it solve my problem my phone is working again :)... But I want to continue to root it but I'm afraid which steps I should go next, I still don't see the warning "failed verification" after my phone boots up and works again... I need HELP thank you
[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:
Sorry for very late reply. I have added updated tool to unlock . Try and report. It should help you.
[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:
No you can't unroot by this method. You have to flash system image.
[ZenFone 2 General] PrinceLys:
this new update of your's is super like it :o...

is there any bug so far?

does it now pass safety net?

if no, how to get pass on it?

btw, what tools did you use to make like this application? (I'm interested:))
[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:
No bugs reported. All tools are tested on my device ofcourse.

My device didn't pass safety net. So I didn't tried to solve it. But according to developer of magisk

"Q: Safety Net fails after installing Magisk

A: Have you enabled Magisk Hide in the settings of Magisk Manager? Try toggle to disable, and re-enable again.

Starting from v11.0, Magisk Manager starts MagiskHide at boot, in rare conditions it doesn't get to run the boot process

Q: It still doesn't pass CTS!!

A: If you are using SuperSU, you often need suhide, or maybe other solutions. I do not have control of how SuperSU behaves."

So check it out.

I used bat file programming and some help from friends to make it executable.
[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:
I did follow the above steps but couldn't pass safetynet. Hope to get it done in future versions.
[ZenFone 2 General] ekosemut:
Still bug in this version

in this latest update, there is still a bug I found that if xposed framework is not executed then SafetyNet: passed, but if xposed framework run happens is SafetyNet: failed. I also have enabled Magisk Hide in the settings.

I use the Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML 4GB RAM, 32GB ROM and OS version 4.21.40.223.

How do I can play Pokemon without xposed? If anyone knows please help ..!
[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:
Check this out

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=es.excellentapps.fakegpsgo

I checked it. Working good without xposed. Change mock app from nothing to fakegpsgo.

As I am banned I couldn't check Pokemon go.:D

But location can be changed with joystick

will i lose all the data in my phone if i unlock the bootloader before rooting my phone? does it really necessary to unlock bootloader first? i just need to root my phone. can someone please guide/help me to root my asus without losing any data.

p/s : im a noob :(

sorry for my english
[ZenFone 2 General] PrinceLys:
1. NO... you won't lose any data upon unlocking the bootloader.

2. Yes... it is necessary to unlock bootloader to install TWRP first so you can use backups (system, data, boot), then you can proceed to other procedures like by flashing (e.g. custom roms, rooting, etc.)

If not unlock then you cant do any installation and might get into trouble, also if you flash anything without unlocking the bootloader first, it will cause some problems (e.g. fail to boot, bootloop and worst of all might brick your phone)

P.S. just follow the instructions given by the owner and you wont get any problem. :)

[ZenFone 2 General] JollyBeast:
Can i install superSU instead of magisk?? Since i want to use borets kernel which is not compatible with magisk as he mention on his thread..

Additional questions. LOL

just want to make sure.

1. Can i install the latest fw update while rooted? just flashed it straight from twrp or fastboot mode?

2. if #1 is yes, i will not lose any of my data if i do that, right? if #1 is no, how can i safely install the latest fw on my rooted device??

i just really need to make sure, since i got like 17gig of game files and other things, not so important but the time i spent i too much. LOL .. Thank you
[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:
Yes you can install supersu and then install magisk.

But for custom kernel like borets, you have to go to borets rom page. According to him, his kernel is patched for supersu 2.79. And I tested it, it worked.

The files are given on his page for borets rom.

Yes you can update to latest fw but only for stock kernel. You can do so by adb sideload. And no, you won't lose any data. For more confidence you can remove magisk and then update.
[ZenFone 2 General] JollyBeast:
now im a bit confused. Tell me if there is something wrong here on my list.

1. Intall latest firmware

2. Then install borets rom? (Or can i erase #1 and just go for borets rom all the way?

3. After im done with 1&2 , im all good to use your method of rooting again, right? since your method is the only one i can fully understand. Lol

And how/where can i get a stock kernel?
[ZenFone 2 General] PrinceLys:
If you install boretskernel rom by russiamen you dont need to use this tool for root...

its already pre-rooted rom
[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:
Yes. Actually there are two rom. One is just borets rom. And another is rom by russianmen using borets kernel. You can flash first rom on your existing stock rom and flash superuser after it, if it is not there. But for second rom, i think one has to wipe. Which jollybeast doesn't want.
[ZenFone 2 General] PrinceLys:
I never knew that there were two of them

I forgot that russiamen rom required clean wipe hehe:D

Hey guys

I own a zenfone 2 ze551ml

I've unlocked the Bootloader and flashed twrp

But the problem is that while trying to access recovery, the phone just boots up normally

Can't get into recovery

I've redone the Bootloader unlocking process over and over again

Is it because the default recovery was erased

And also i can boot twrp recovery from pc

That's working

But can i flash custom roms and take back up of my current rom by just booting twrp from pc through command line

Please help... :)
[ZenFone 2 General] PrinceLys:
How odd... it should boot to twrp after selecting recovery mode.

Try wipe cache

then try to go recovery mode again (normal method)
[ZenFone 2 General] reikred:
(posted in wrong thread)
[ZenFone 2 General] sabretoothed:
Thank you

Btw will clearing cache affect the current rom data?

And would you know if it's safe to flash roms through booting TWRP from pc to phone?

Your thoughts?
[ZenFone 2 General] PrinceLys:
deleting cache only clear cache

Data is separate,

System is separate,

Boot is separate,

Config is also separate.

As long you wont select wipe factory reset.

Maybe yes, not sure... since you said that you can only access twrp through pc (adb).

*make sure to make backup(system, data, boot) before doing something*

can't you still access it with normal method(fastboot then recovery mode) after clearing cache?
[ZenFone 2 General] sabretoothed:
I will try doing that

Thank you ?

urgent help needed

I tried to unlock my bootloader with the exe file, but when the phone restarted, the exe didn't see the phone. The phone said waiting fastboot command. I thought rebooting would help and held the power button to turn off the phone. Now the phone doesn't turn on. There are no lights, no vibration, nothing. It's dead. Can I fix this in any way? (P.S. I'd try removing the battery but I don't have the required screwdriver.)
[ZenFone 2 General] PrinceLys:
calm down...

kindly elaborate the steps you did so far and

If you can remember what does the display say? (When you said the exe didn't see the phone)

also have you tried to turn it on back now? (No cable attach to pc)
[ZenFone 2 General] godofpain:
Firstly, I plugged the phone in fastboot mode.

I ran the exe, it completed the first step and rebooted.

It came back to the same screen, it said "Waiting cmd from fastboot" or something very similar in blue.

I continued to use the exe, but it didn't find the device.

So i held the power button down and turned it off.

It didn't turn back on.

Currently I'm trying to open the screws with another screwdriver. I'll plug the battery out and back in to see if it fixes it.

Wish me luck.
[ZenFone 2 General] PrinceLys:
hmm.. I thought it turns back on now.

I experienced it before when my phone didn't put any sign of all (wont turn on, no vibration "tried it many times")(but different situation).

after unlock successful my phone freeze after reboot "white background with black asus logo" (typically, unlock bootloader)

I turn it off then when I turn it on, it wont turns on (nothing happened) tried it many times I even got panicked then after several failed attempts I UNPLUGGED the usb cable that connects my phone from the computer I take a break for a couple of minutes then (I think back what did I miss?) when I tried to power it back on, it suddenly vibrates then it boots up.

if your phone still doesn't boots up refer to this links... this might help you,

If you have installed all drivers correctly. Then you must see Intel or asus android device in device manager windows 10. If not then uninstall all drivers from device manager, restart pc , again install all drivers and then check if it works. If you see device then proceed. Otherwise try different pc and data cable.

If you want to install Lineage(Previously Cyanogenmod), there is no need for rooting, bootloader unlocking and twrp are sufficient.

If you want xposed then better use marshmallow roms. There is no xposed for nougat.

also tried additional drivers

samsung usb driver 1.5.61.0

google latest usb driver windows

Cant proceed to root...
[ZenFone 2 General] Kapil Tapsi:
This is not a fault of your phone. Sometimes windows doesn't detect phones.

Try removing any driver, adb or software related to any phone including Zenfone. Restart your pc. Just install all three driver. And proceed. It helped many times.

If it doesn't then try different pc and data cable.

If it doesn't help, telegram me. I will send you zip.
