TWRP can be installed

Im currently on Miui 10 8.7.12 global beta

I have TWRP 3.2.1 installed along with magisk 16.0 :good:

Everything works fine

Have no intention of going back to previous builds
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Tyrany:
did you install before or after updating?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] 00r3:
Installed it after as twrp was replaced by stock.

After rooting it works fine
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] drmuruga:
Anti roll back is already in moto phones. Only problem is rollback to stock only you can flash 8.1 to 7.1 custom ROMs. Even in stock you can skip bootloader files and flash to rollback with upgraded bootloader. Its new to xiaomi.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] MarvinMe:
So Anti-rollback is no big deal because we can install TWRP + custom roms then? Some people say no (they can't, with little to no evidence) and others say yes (with decent evidence). Do we know what's up, I read comments telling it's basically 50:50. Is it device dependant, or do we need some exploits in terms of drivers/software usage etc? Thanks for your reply! :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] kakagi:
I'm also searching whether we can install custom rom or not ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] sinners007:
My RN5 AI came with stable MIUI 9.5.22.0. When I tried to install TWRP, to begin the process of flashing RR, I got the anti-rollback message and TWRP install failed.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] ToXiTe:
You can install custom recovery and roms. Method here: Everything About Anti Roll-back .
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] MarvinMe:
Link is down!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Kapiljhajhria:
we can install it, i did on 8.7.12. using redwolf.

also will be falshing custom roms tomorrow. so its just few extra precaustions. otherwise it business as usual
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] MarvinMe:
Did you check the version of anti-rollback via fastboot (fastboot getvar anti)?

What was your method of flashing? Minimal adb and fastboot flash recovery redwolf.img and then boot into it, or just booting into it and flashing redwolf.img from the recovery itself? Did you use lazyflasher afterwards, or is it even necessay with redwolf? Which version of Redwolf did you use?

Thanks for your effort and sorry for all of these questions, I really hope we can help the community out. Plz tell then if you succeed in flashing a custom rom :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] ToXiTe:
Sorry, wrong link. Updated
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] MarvinMe:
So nothing has changed regarding flashing recovery and custom roms? I mean, people managed to flash twrp/redwolf the normal way --> doing the same with custom roms. I don't think we have a problem here but still this new implementation makes me nervous...

Edit: huh, no just flashing the antibypass image before doing the twrp in case you are on anti rollback > 3. Just with "fastboot getvar anti" the version, if you are on 3 you are good, if you are on 4 use the method the link I guess...

Upgrade after rooting

Hello,after downgrade and rooting the phone with your method,it is posible to put in internal memory the last version of firmware(80.11.37.86) and upgrade the phone,or the phone remains blocked in the version of firmware(80.11.37.69) which we make downgrade and root?Thank you for your hard work.
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Guides, News, & Discussion] Saktis_STi:
Process is too long. I am working on unofficial Unlock Tool so that we can retain the warranty.

For downgrading, there is a tool for that. For me, fastboot codes may mess up the system/cache partitions.

If anyone wanna test my unlocking tool, feel free to PM me via Telegram

Yes it is possible but you will lose root.

How to wipe cache partition

Hi,

I am able to boot into recovery on Z5z but not able to see "wipe cache partition" option. I only see a wipe data/factory reset option.

I want to wipe cache to see if battery life improves. Can anyone let me know how to do this?

Thanks
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Guides, News, & Discussion] isthisadagger:
No.

hi guys how to do this on Macbook pro? Any clues?
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Guides, News, & Discussion] isthisadagger:
I do not have any experience with mac os but if you want to root:

Adb/fastboot is available for mac os. All you need to do is find a tool to extract the boot.img from the payload.bin.

If you want to downgrade/unbrick: You would need to convert the bat/cmd files in the full firmware to some shell scripts and exchange the fastboot.exe.

How do I un-root, re-lock bootloader?
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Guides, News, & Discussion] isthisadagger:
unroot: You press "uninstall" in magisk manager or install an updated firmware without patching boot.img or downgrade.

I have not tried re-locking the bootloader.
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Guides, News, & Discussion] jens13:
So if I'm getting this right, after unlocking the bootloader I will not get OTA updates.

But I will be able to download the latest version (SKU) from Asus and put it in /sdcard/ folder, and rebooting will start the update of the new firmware.

Is this correct?

Kind regards

/Jens
[Asus Zenfone 5Z  Guides, News, & Discussion] Saktis_STi:
You won't get OTAs + your warranty is voided (due to unlocking Officially)

Yes, you can update your phone by sideloading the zip from ASUS Support Website :)

ROOT Zenfone 5Z, version UL-Z01R-WW-100.10.107.70-user

Hello Friend. It is possible to install TWRP and root Asus Zenfone 5Z, version UL-Z01R-WW-100.10.107.70-user, one hundred percent operational.

I have rooted and it is easy but the camera does not work, I do not know if there will be more errors.

I have also tried to install TWRP several times and have not succeeded. I have tried it with the tutorials of [RECOVERY] [UNOFFICIAL] TWRP-3.3.1 [Zenfone 5z (ZS620KL)] by jackeagle and Custom ROM Flashing Guide by AryanAA.

Thank you very much in advance.

If your smartphone is Zenfone 5Z ZS620KL, please do as follows:

Download the raw firmware from [GUIDE][ZS620KL][Update 29.08.2019] 5Z How to unlock root up/downgrade and unbrick by isthisadagger (Here on XDA developers), unzip it and run the file "update_image.bat" with your smartphone in fastboot mode (Let it work), this way you will go back to a previous version. Now you can update to the official version you want (asus official downloads the version you want, put it on your SD card and when the system detects it tells you to update and working).

For example this:

WW 80.30.96.111

Hello

I have a Zenfone 5z Android Oreo WW_80.11.37.95_20180727

rooted with Magisk according to advertisement 17.1

For some time now I have had the problem that I have to block Magisk Manager's internet access, otherwise 2-4sec after the app starts it closes.

There is still an update from time to time, but no DL manages to end.

Now I've tried several manager versions, including previous uninstallation.

always the same = app closes

Root works without me noticing problems

the Asus does not have a TWRP and was not yet possible at the time. now there is that, it is not easy to read.

Since the data is needed on the device, I don't want to change anything at the moment, except with a dead-safe way (instructions)

How do I get the Magisk Manager fit again?

Hi guys, I have followed this guide in order to unbrick my zenfone 5z but now I have a problem and I'd like to hear your opinion about it.

I have used the raw file WW 80.30.96.111 to unbrick my phone and then I have downloaded the update from the asus official site in order to instal the latest android version but after the restart of the phone, the update fails to install. I have tried also other raw firmare from this thread but at the end of the flash with fastboot I got this error: "Your device is corrupted, It cannot be trusted and will not boot.". For now, only the WW 80.30.96.111 and WW 80.30.96.221 allow me to use the phone but both of them don't work very well and randomly they restart the phone. Moreover, with the first flash of WW 80.30.96.111, I have lost imei and mac and so I can't use wifi o mobile data on zenfone. At this point, my intention is to update to android Q the phone, unlock bootloader and restore imei and mac but for now I'm not able to update.
