Download Stock recovery :https://mega.nz/#F!ok0V0RIA!5WKtHe98opzjVI3NPbM7Ww

with adb command, you with flash stock recovery in your device

You must have micro sd card for install Nougat rom because stock recovery only has install update in micro sd card

Copy Nougat rom in micro sd card, enter stock recovery, select update from sd card, select rom. Wait for done and reboot system

[Asus ZenFone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cdanthien:

[Asus ZenFone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] w1040:

[Asus ZenFone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cdanthien:
I see what you're getting problem. Following steps :

1. Flash back stock rom MM 137 with extention .raw file. Link and guide how to (google translate for understanding)

It will not work

I tried every possible combination of recoveries / dm-unlock / RAW .137 flashing / Adb sideload / memory card flashing / TWRP flashing

It just doesn't work, when I flash Android N, it stuck on the boot logo or it give me the 10 seconds shutdown message.

Please consider that i changed the firmware from Italy TIM to WW, in order to apply the updates

After a lot of trying , I flashed the .137 RAW and I'm stuck at the .152

Probably we must wait for a fix on the Marshmallow version or a new firmware for the Nougat one

This method works perfectly on my Zen 3 ZE552KL Nougart

Hi Everybody!

I would like to thanks everyone involved on building of this Rooting Method. I own this mobile about one week and tried to root it in such a hurry using the first Method I found here in https://xdaforums.com/zenfone-3/help/guide-how-to-root-zenfone-3-ze552kl-t3471524 , but unfortunately it went wrong, I lost my SIM slots (both) and I got desperated! So I re-installed the Nougart Stock Rom.

Today I followed this method step by step and despite what I did read here from many unsucessfull attempts I got it working like a charm and so THANK ALL OF YOU GUYS.

I must share some important points that I experienced and think can drive into errors if not followed up!

So:

- Swipe modified system - I did that straight way... (system/data/dalvik)

- Install > Select No verity file. Then select tab Reboot > Recovery. DO NOT MISS STEP, YOU PHONE WILL BE BOOTLOOP OR KEEP RED WARNING IN BOOTING - I just ticked the Reboot box selection before swipe to install... and I return back to TWRP Restore in the sequence....

- Install > Select Supersu - The mobile re-started straight way and I return back to TWRP Restore in the sequence....

- Install > Select Busy - The mobile re-started straight way and I return back to TWRP Restore in the sequence....

- Install > Select Root - As this was the last step I simply reboot the mobile and waited.....

The first start after had installed ROOT was quick and I just put my pattern to unlock and soon it re-start again automatically, and this second BOOT took a long time (~3-4 min) until a have the unlock screen appeared again....

After unlock the mobile, the very known first installation screen showed up as if it was the first time I had switch the phone on!!!

This process was normal as it was at the first I went through one week ago, but after the whole annoying process I faced my Mobile Zenfone 3 Android 7.0 Nourgart unlocked and rooted. Finally I was able to restore all my old applications from my previous Phone using Titanium Backup software!!!

Thanks again! I've just finished this whole process two ours ago!

[Asus ZenFone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mecoromeo:
It is because bootloader is unlocked. Since it's unlocked, google nor your manufacturer can no longer verify if your device is legit. Remember when you unlock your bootloader it always asks if you're sure, because your device will no longer be covered by the warranty and due to the root exploit, it cannot be checked as a legit device anymore

Im upgrade android 7.0 but i unlock bootloader it's not successfully

How to unlock bootloader when upgraded android 7.0 ?
[Asus ZenFone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bmccormick1967:
Okay, so I used this method on my Canadian ASUS ZENFONE 3 ZE552KL and everything worked seamlessly. I download the latest firmware (UL-ASUS_Z012D-CN-13.2010.1701.170-user) from the ASUS site, copied it to my external sd card, rebooted into TWRP and installed the firmware zip. Worked great except when I booted up my phone, the Android OS is not Android 7. As a matter of fact, it is Android 6.0.1 and Chinese! I thought at first I must have installed wrong firmware so went through the update process again and same thing. I have also tried to install older and other versions of Android based on my model and to no avail. Doesn't matter which Android OS I install it still boots up showing that I have Android 6 and a Chinese version at that. I have now spent approx. 20 hours researching this and no luck! Thankfully I have another phone because the ASUS ZENFONE 3 is totally useless because I am not Chinese. Even went through the trouble of interpreting enough chinese to changes all language and input, location info, etc., and no luck. Anyone?

I might also add that my TWRP recovery is intermittent. Phone boots into TWRP right after I install it and sometimes 2 or 3 times but then eventually I have to reinstall TWRP to access it again. I am baffled. As well, my adb functionality seems to be flakey now.

Dude i'm on the same situation. How'd you do it?
[Asus ZenFone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Aeva_:
I tried following this guide but no matter what I do I get the red-text verity screen and then the phone shuts off. I can still access TWRP.

I've made many an attempt to reflash and install stock ROMs but the red-text always shuts off my phone, I can't boot into the OS.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Never mind, I followed https://xdaforums.com/zenfone-3/help/unbricking-zenfone-3-ze552kl-dm-verity-t3563970 and I can finally boot back in. I'm gonna keep trying until I figure this out.

EDIT 2: Got it first try. If it helps, here's what I did differently from the OP. I am running Android 7 Nougat on ZE552KL with the most recent WW ROM file from Asus' support site:

- I used twrp-3.1.0-0-Z012D-20170311.img from https://mega.nz/#F!kl8lmKRL!ZbLvz1b4YgLMr_n09vRrTA instead of the one in the OP.

- Instead of the No Verity zip file provided, I got LazyFlasher from the same developer https://github.com/jcadduono/lazyflasher. I remade the .zip because it puts the files

inside a folder inside the zip

, instead the files should be

in the root

of the .zip file.

- Then I followed the instructions as normal, except instead of No Verity I installed that .zip I made, and immediately rebooted after that zip file installed. The phone still booted into the OS as normal.

- I then shut it off, booted back into TWRP and finished the OP's steps.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ekha24:
Thanks, the method 100% works on my ze552kl latest nougat update.

I have a question, I want to factory reset my phone first before I use it. Is root still available or disappear when I do factory reset my phone?

I think the answer is yes, btw thanks again for this method.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Aeva_:
I'm not entirely sure if it would wipe root or not, but it shouldn't wipe recovery so you could redo root that way and worst-case, it does revert to stock recovery. Either way if you rooted it once, you can root it again anyway lol.

I'm quite confused of the proper order of events to do on a new phone which is on MM with locked bootloader.

Is it better to upgrade to Nougat first, unlock bootloader, and then apply these steps?

Or is it better to unlock bootloader first, upgrade to Nougat (is that possible?) and then do these steps?
[Asus ZenFone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Aeva_:
[MENTION=6733478]sanctitude888[/MENTION]: The safest way would be to use Asus' bootloader app but that kills OTA updates. That's what I did anyway so I couldn't say which way would be better otherwise, heh.

[MENTION=6970767]D4XT3R[/MENTION]: unfortunately no, stock recovery wouldn't let you install TWRP over it. I'd double check everything. Drivers, USB debugging, maybe use a different PC port, etc.

[MENTION=5631898]autobulb[/MENTION]: Upgrade to Nougat first! Unlocking the bootloader will most likely kill the Nougat OTA update, although you could always install a Nougat ROM afterwards it'd be easier to do it first. Otherwise follow the OP and my own steps to root :P
