Fantastic news

No more waiting for manually signed magisk, supersu or twrp versions from now on. Just install any new version and use the image signature fix action in the troubleshoot menu of the toolkit. :good::D

Next level reached

No more waiting for special zenfone 2 patched xposed for magisk. Got my own zip to do some hex patching. You can either use one of the (already patched) xposed versions from the toolkit or download xposed for magisk and use the xposed patcher in the troubleshoot menu.

Introduction

This is a windows batch toolkit for automated actions like bl unlock, flash, root, xposed, sideload tasks, ... for your ze551ml/ze550ml/zx551ml.

I hope you find it useful. Check the tabs above for more screenshots, downloads, review ...

Note:

This tookit works well for a lot of situations, but I need feedback especially for the new supported devices ze550ml and zx551ml. Please go on and try the toolkit, then leave a message on this thread, do a review or just vote.

Before you try any action in the menu, check that the device informations are shown.

Installation instructions

Do a clean start:

​

Download the latest base package

​

Extract to your desired location. It will extract a "ze551ml toolkit" directory with all files.

​

(Optional / If the automatic download of the device specific files fails) Download the device specific packages and extract it directly to the "ressources" directory

To run the toolkit just execute "ze551ml toolkit.bat" (no admin rights are needed).

Usage instructions

Prerequisite:

​

Ensure that you have installed device usb drivers (e. g. see: https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone_2_ZE551ML/HelpDesk_Download/ )

​

Ensure that you have one of the latest MM firmwares for your device installed.

​

Ensure that you have enabled USB Debugging in Developer Options

​

Even if only a few actions could be really harmful to your data: Get a backup!

Then:

​

Run ze551ml_toolkit.bat

​

Check device status information & see if toolkit really likes your device ;)

​

If your bootloader is still locked: Unlock it first with menu B -> choice U

​

(Optional) Choose your desired versions of the integrated tools in menu O.

​

(Recommended) Flash twrp with menu F -> choice T. If you want to try a newer twrp version, change it first in menu O

​

Check all the other nice functions of the toolkit
