That link says Zenfone 3, but I highly doubt it's for our phone, let alone the whole Zenfone 3 line. If you had continued on that process, you would have probably bricked your phone.

Hey, just went onto ASUS global website and saw that there is an unlock bootloader utility for the ZS550KL (updated 11-Nov-2016) but not one for the ZS570KL. Does this matter, since both phones are "Deluxe"? If not, any assistance to unlock bootloader and root the ZS570KL. Thanks!
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] pacattack81:
This is good news I wonder why nobody has said anything about the deluxe unlock bootloader tool yet. Link is below. I guess not many people are interested in this phone. Hopefully Asus will have the unlock tool for the special edition model soon.

i guess it's time to take a risk, but we need to becareful here.

Keep in mind it's 5.5, not 5.7 , so it's not out for the bigger phones yet, just 5.5. If we get people testing for that version and see what happens from there.

Well we have the bootloader unlock tool for about a month now and nobody's unlocked their device get with it so I would say not many people have the phone. If more people had the phone we'd have the 550kl version unlocked and rooted by now. In my opinion of course.

Get Lost.

I'm also frustrated without root...

I need it. I'm happy with my zf3d but if I decided for Samsung I was already rooted...

When I was at zf2 root was at start and ASUS gave some support and know I have high end device without root. It still nice to work and fun but I need some more...

[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] ultramag69:
The SD821 version is more for the guys you find here. Most people would've gone with the 64gb SD625....

The price difference is phenomenol for a bit of storage that most people wouldn't use and ift hey find they need it there are alternatives available for a lot cheaper... The difference between the speed of the processors is also not really noticeable for the common user who takes photo's, goes on social media, listens to music and, god forbid, actually uses the phone to talk to people from time to time.

Knowing this, it is surprising that the SD625 version got a bootloader unlock and ours have been pretty much relegated to the basement in terms of unlocking.

If they drop developement for this phone ASUS will be making a HUGE mistake. Word of mouth is a big part of their marketing and the developement community can get pretty loud when they feel they have been snubbed.

Time will tell if ASUS will be endorsed by me again or not.

The best hardware in the world is useless without, not flawless, but better software than they are prepared (or can) make for these little beasts...

They're waiting too long however as the next wave of smartphones are coming out and this one is getting left in the dust....

Zenfone 3 deluxe seems like the baby that was abandoned by his parents at my door steps. It seems that the only new reviews that get out in recent days is to say that you should get an OP3T. If I was looking for a new phone I would never consider this one based on that and yet I am pretty satisfied with it. So what I am trying to say is don't get your hopes to high unless you are a developer yourself, I know I am not...
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] Darkdragontc:
Yeah i know i agree with you, sadly even with the next updates and all, it might fixed the problems that was cause way back or just wait later on... either case i guess i have to wait for a phone that will get boot unlock included... and we have to PM or IM the devs to start making unoffical roms, since that all we can do. 5.5 is ready to go, but i guess that won't get much attention for at least.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] Darkdragontc:
Check that, it seems we have an answer from Asus.... just have to continue to wait until the next update...

Hey Developers, have our dreams come true... I just went to ASUS website and found there is an unlock tool (SKU Unlock Tool). It also asks to check you phone version's CPU. Mine phone states 2.34, and after looking at some of the other "drivers / tools" it appears to be the same as the 2.4 mentioned. Here is the link:

Has anyone tried this yet? Are there any custom roms? I had Cyanogenmod on all my older phones but I read they are no longer creating custom roms :o(
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] jsheradin:
I haven't tried it yet, but I would assume that it is working as it is official from Asus. The old Cyanogenmod devs have now formed http://lineageos.org/ by the way.

If we could get official TWRP and LineageOS support for this phone I'd gladly donate to a couple devs. I don't exactly know the right protocol to contact devs and ask them to work on this phone though.

I've built TWRP successfully for a phone before; I guess I can try to get it working on this one, but I'd much rather somebody who knows more than me do it.

Recovery mode for the phone works, just when going to reboot to bootloader, it looks like it locks up or something like that. So pretty much we "could" test the theories that have been on this post before (probably page 3, 4 & so on) or search... (that is a big if keep in mind) but not really try all the steps, but at least know we have confirm this is working and root it as well. i did get far before with the drivers and getting into adb , and was able to see the device ID , etc.

Rooters are based on known exploits & the only one which *might* work is dirtycow.

This has been unfortunately patched in one of the latest updates, but since we have root, you can try to flash one of the previous system images which are vulnerable to the exploit.

All rooted with Superuser and TWRP 3.0.3.0

Thanks for the info. in the end on the ASUS site they now have TWRP and superuser flash, I had problems but ended up with TWRP and chainfires superuser. All working well. The only gripe is that TWRP does not recognise the adopted SD card nor does titanium backup. Resolved titanium by moving the backup folder to internal. Not the best but it works.. Will have to wait for NOUGATE or TWRP to fix the adopted SD card problem. Otherwise all is good.

had the same issue, press titanium, go to preferences, go to backup folder, press the change folder button and press document, go to sd card and press select.. congrats you can backup to external sd

Well I believe I have it unlocked but I can't seem to root it and also can no longer use Android pay because it is unlocked. For some reason I can't get TWRP installed or restart into recovery to install and root. I've tried this about three times and I'm getting sick of doing factory reset is there anyway I can go back to factory reset and be able to use Android pay again? I spent half the day reinstalling all my apps I don't feel like trying it right now.

Guess the answer is no because I just tried factory reset and it's still gave me the same message goodbye Android pay
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] adwinp:
1: Try flashing the bootstock.img via fastboot then doing a factory reset

2: if #1 doesn't work, go back into fastboot (after having flashed bootstock.img) & relock your bootloader

fastboot oem lock

or

fastboot flashing lock (if you have the newer platform tools)

Android pay uses SafetyNet; you can try using suhide as a workaround.

Ok it took me awhile but I got it. I will try to keep it rooted and see if I can still use Android pay. While installing the unlock tool I was clicking yes for Google to check for security features and that may have been what was tripping me up. This last time I did not click on that while installing the unlock tool. I just hope I can still use tap and pay. If not I can always try and relock the device right?
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] lssong99:
For this unlock, can we go back to locked states in order to receive OTA?

My main concern is I want to get OTA of 7.0, which in my understanding is under preparing. So if it's not re-lockable, I gonna skip this and wait for 7.0, then new unlock tool for 7.0... (more wait... Sigh...)

No we can't, unlocking is a one way street...

Remember, the unlock tool might not work after the update to N but the Flash file can always be downloaded and flashed manually...

So if we flash a new firmware after we are unlocked & rooted, will we have to reinstall all of our apps again? The only reason I ask is because I was finally able to get Android pay and Magisk working, but I had to call my bank to have them verify my cards again. I would really like to avoid having to do that again.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Questions & Answers] ultramag69:
Can't say for sure...

Anytime I've upgraded the OS I've pretty much done a fresh install though because of incompatabilities with old installs.

There may be problems, if the system is freshly encrypted on the installation of the new OS it might not boot without a factory reset...

Anyone else have this problem?? I've tried many many times and each time the unlock tool doesn't reset my phone, it just boots back up and everything I had set up is still there. I've tried doing it without factory resetting the phone before trying, factory reset the phone and tried, each multiple times. I did once get into twrp trying some method at one time but it did't successfully root the phone and have since pretty much given up until tonight where my friend and I both tried 3 times with and without factory resetting the device.

So my S7 Edge told me I was running out of room for Cloud backup.

I went into settings and noticed by accident my gallery was being backed up which takes most of my 15GB

I turned that off but I was wondering how I would go about erasing the gallery content on the cloud to free up room

I logged into http://link.samsung.com/ but dont see my content listed

Any ideas how to proceed at this point? I would figure this should be something simple I dont want to erase my content on my phone if I dont have to

The saved cloud data isnt on the phone. I turned on the Calgary backup and about 10GB worth of pictures and videos where backed up on the cloud. This is what I want to erase since im almost at my max.

[Android General] hacknmtk:
For those that haven't seen this yet, https://9to5google.com/2016/03/22/android-linux-kernel-vulnerability-patch/ it seems that Android is becoming less developer friendly as the versions get newer, and older kernels get patched, removing as many ways as they can for users to obtain root privileges.

So much for the openness of Android and their commitment to being for the people.

Android used to be fun to do development for, and now it's just a huge headache.
[Android General] hacknmtk:
Yes, but if they offered the option from the start then we would have root and be able to change to another application like SuperSU. It wouldn't be that difficult for them to implement into the code. CM has the option to enable root out of the box and to switch the app that controls root access.

Android could do the same thing if they really wanted to.
[Android General] egingell:
The key point in my post was that it would likely not be replaceable. Meaning there would be no changing to SuperSU.

And manufacturers, such as Samsung--especially Samsung, might even remove it, anyway. I've always gotten the impression that it was the manufacturers hindering a lot of development, not Google themselves.
