hi Everyone,

I'm sticked with the common issue of how to make writable the external SD.

I've read topics on the forum:

http://xdaforums.com/desire-601/help/how-to-writable-external-sd-kitkat-t2877686

http://xdaforums.com/desire-601/help/sd-card-permissions-off-t2833195

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2687734

Well ok, but I'm a noob so sometimes it's not clear, sometimes it's not working for me.

So let's explain:

- My device is rooted (it was made by a tech using TWRP if I'm right)

- SuperSU is installed

1/ I tried some apps like SDfix and Int-SDCard Write fix

> Result = KO

2/ I tried to manually modify the platform.xml file > sometimes the editor does not want to save the modification, sometimes it says OK but the file don't seem to be modified (the last modification date is still 2014). Permissions are: rw-r--r--

a. Using Rom Toolbox, I go the file and edit it with:

-FX TextEdit > Get a Warning = "This file is on read-only filesystem. You will not be able to save any changes unless you first remount it as read/write'

> Result = KO

- RB Text Editor: it seems i can edit it. Save the file without warning message 'Saved'. But once back on the /system/etc/permissions folder, nothing looks modified (not today's date). I can reopen the file and see the modification by the way. But once I reboot, I go back the my original issue.

> Result = KO

- ES Text editor: can't even save the file

> Result = KO

So what ?

I've seen this message coming along:

"if you are rooted then you doing something wrong (did you maybe forgot to mount system as R/W ?).

If you are unable to do modify platform.xml then you doing something wrong or yours device isnt rooted."

> At what moment is it possible to mount the system with R/W grants ?

I'm fed up with not being able to write on SD card....................

Thx in advance !!!!!

I translate his article to English version.

I didn't try this method yet, but I think it should work.

If you want to root your zenfone 3, you can following this guide to root your device.

============================

[Update] All-in-one zip (unlock App+driver+adb+fastboot+twrp+SuperSU.zip) :

Firstly, you should use the following official unlock tool to unlock Boot-loader.

[Update] If you want to receive OTA notify, you should use Un-official bootloader unlock method.

I'm not sure if it's dead or just not as popular. ASUS only released the boot unlock last month and this phone isn't nearly as popular as LG or Samsung.

Hi all,

I'm on a Zenfone 3 ZE520KL

I just installed the latest update, Build no. (MMB29P.WW_Phone-13.20.10.137-20161108)

Software version: WW_13.20.10.137_20161108

May I know if it is still possible to root the phone?

I'm looking to remove ALL Asus components and hopefully run full stock Android. This phone with QC SD625 chipset has similar hardware specs to the Moto Z PLay, (with better camera and smaller battery) but it still does not feel as responsive as the Moto Z Play. Plus it's a bit confusing because with the ZenUI components there are repeated menus for switches of the same function.

Please share- my ears are open....

[/COLOR]How to root zenfone 3 (ZE552KL / ZE520KL) 100% WORKING! NO RISK!

First of all, i worked hard to have money to buy my phone,and if you are just like me, you don't wanna mes around and brick your phone, or get it into forever-loop mode,and send it to warranty. Fallowing all the tutorials is so hard,and that's what i have been doing for the past 1 week.

I can 100% confirm the fallowing:

1. The tutorial at this thread started by the OP of this thread works ONLY 50% ,and the dude has no idea what his doing or if he has,he does not know how to explain.

2. The "Zenfone3 One Click Tool 1.6" does not work! You are wasting your time with that.....

So here we GO! You ready ?

1. Get Admin access to your phone. Enable USB debugging (Google it - it's very easy).

2. Connect phone to computer. Type Exchange Files, so you can browse and see the files that you got. Default is Charge ONLY. Change it...cuz you need to copy something in your phone.

3. Get TWRP https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/ Don't worry it's nothing bad, it's just a custom recovery.It wont brick your phone. Also Fallow the steps at that page and install ADB and FastBoot Drivers.It opens up a command window (hold down Shift)...it takes like few seconds.

4. Put twrt with adb file + Supersu in the same folder. I made a printscreen above,look at it.

4. Put Supersu.zip that you can get here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 (under Download click the 3d link - not the official google ones). .. into your phones internal storage. NOT the SD card. It's not gonna work if it's on sd card. Ok? INTERNAL STORAGE

5. Fallow these easy steps how to get into TWRT

[IMG="steps"]https://s24.postimg.org/ghvj13wdx/sgdhdhd.jpg[/IMG]

Also look at this guys tutorial....he talks a lot, but eventually you will get there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73X_Dg0nMic

6. At the TWRT screen on your phone, click on Read Only.

7. Click Install - Browse for the SuperSu.zip file that you copied to your phone. Swipe flash...fallow this tutorial here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyqenitkNns

That's it! CONGRATZ

Basically, in very few words, just use twrp to install SuperSu.zip,and flash it... check to see after that if you get root access. You should. It just takes like 5 minutes most! So easy...

Now we are just w8 for cyanogenmod. But at least we can enjoy root and boost phone performance without the Asus bloatware ,right?

Marry Christmas people!
