Before running the fastboot command run: "fastboot devices" without quotations. To make sure the device is recognized and connected.

Nice write up!. By the way there is an update to the system a small one maybe 70+ MB. Minor stability update.
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tesla74:
Thanks, I updated post. I was wondering after the system update, does TWRP still work because of encryption? Or does TWRP need to be updated for every system update?
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mbze430:
Does the unlock bootloader tool REALLY erases all everything, or it's just ASUS warning so they cover their end if user data is lost?
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Rashad83:
Once you flash TWRP you will not be able to update through OTA. You will have to download the update manually and then flash it, once you do that i believe it flashes the stock boot.img which removes TWRP. When that happens you will have to flash a compatible TWRP for the new update.

That's how i understand it, personally i haven't rooted yet so i can't be 100% certain.

Also it's recommended by TWRP team to return to stock before updating the system and then flashing TWRP.

It's not just ASUS, Any Android device once you unlock the bootloader the user data is erased. So better backup!. By the way ASUS has a backup tool for all your apps and data i haven't tried it yet, give it a try.
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mbze430:
That is correct. When I had my Pixel 2 XL (or any phone for that matter). When you flash TWRP on to the recovery the OTA update will always fail. You will have to either find the original recovery or the whole rom and reflash it.

Dang it! I just setup the phone exactly the way I wanted it too.
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tesla74:
Thanks! I hope shakalaca keeps updating TWRP with the new firmwares. Sounds like recovery.img will have to be extracted from the firmware and flashed before updating.
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Rashad83:
You will not find any file under the name of recovery.img. I tried looking for it in the stock firmware before no such file exists. The only way I think to do it is by flashing all of the boot.img where it resides I think.

Fastboot flash boot boot.img
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tesla74:
I wasn't able to find either recovery.img or boot.img in the firmware.

boot.img vs recovery.img always confuses me. I wonder if updating with the update.zip method really needs stock recovery?
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Rashad83:
You need the payload dumber app on windows to extract the payload file which contains all the .img files which boot.img is one of them.

The boot.img contains the kernel and other important files needed to boot the device, while the recovery contains all the recovery settings responsible for reseting the device and updating, wiping actions.

From the comments i saw about recovering the phone after a bootloop it seems stock recovery isn't needed but i could be wrong. We will need input from others who have done it.

On my previous phone i could go back to stock rom without stock recovery as long it's the same rom build. So you will need to flash the same stock rom you are currently on and then flash the update.
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mbze430:
I ran into some trouble. after running bootloader unlocker apk. it is now asking for a PIN. I tried the PIN I used when setting up the fingerprint reader and it doesn't work. It won't let me setup the phone again now.

Also got into the stock Recovery and did a user/data factory reset

Anyone suggestions?
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Marco589:
By pressing volume down + Power button, the phone goes into recovery mode not fastboot.

It's easiest doing it by adb:

Adb devices

If the phone Is found:

Adb reboot bootloader

That's what I did when I root my Rog :)

I was in the same situation, but if you check carefully you will see "use your account Google" it's just below of the pin request.

OMG! You are right! after staring at the screen I can finally see it! THEY NEED TO FIX THAT! I spend the past 2 hours erasing all the partitions! I wanna kill ASUS!
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tesla74:
Thanks! I"ve updated the guide for both issues.
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Rashad83:
To go to fastboot mode the hardware method will be by:

1. Holding (Power+Volume Up) until you see "Republic of Gamers" logo then release.

2. If the phone is turned off; hold the volume up only and connect the usb c to the phone(make sure the usb wire is connected to the PC already "It's basically the same as holding the power button except you'r getting the power from the usb"). You will go directly to "fastboot mode/ bootloader mode" i used to do this before on my phones, will also work on the ROG phone.
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tesla74:
Thanks! I updated the guide and added link to your post.
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] mbze430:
I loaded TWRP but I can't flash Magisk on it. Can't read the /system partition.

Worse off, I am stuck at the ROG logo even after reboot.

what can I do to get the phone to at least boot back to the OS?

-----Update------

Nevermind I extracted the payload.bin and fastboot flash boot boot.img from there and it booted up again.
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Marco589:
In order to flash Magisk v17.3, you need to load Magisk and magisk unistaller on a USB drive, then boot into recovery , select USB storage then flash magisk.
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tesla74:
Thanks to mbze430 posting the boot.img patch method of rooting, I've updated the guide. This works without the need for TWRP.

[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Roland 19:
Tried to follow steps but after flashing the patched_boot.img bootup hangs at the Republic of Gamers logo with the load bar moving left to right. Not sure where I went wrong, used all the latest versions and updates. Tried to flash the original boot.img and still hangs in the same place. Is the patched_boot.img unique to each phone? Or maybe someone can share out one that works?
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tesla74:
Reflash the firmware. That should at least fix the booting issue.
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Roland 19:
That would be payload.bin from the .zip from Asus.com ?
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tesla74:
Download the latest firmware (WW-15.1630.1811.32) and rename it firmware.zip

https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ROG-Phone/HelpDesk_Download/

Copy firmware.zip to your ADB folder

Connect the phone to the pc using the side usb port on the phone.

Then use these commands to update the firmware:

adb reboot recovery

adb sideload firmware.zip

Could it be a module in Magisk?
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Roland 19:
Firmware renamed copied as directed. Fastboot mode and connected to side usb. Launching powershell from the adb folder, .\fastboot devices shows device. .\adb reboot recovery returns "error: no devices/emulators found"
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tesla74:
Your phone won't boot, but you can boot into recovery?

Edit: Fashboot works for you but not ADB correct?

What is the firmware version that is currently installed on your phone?
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tesla74:
I think I know what happened. I think you flashed patched_boot.img from the new firmware, before updating the phone firmware first. This created a mismatch. I have a solution using fastboot. I'll get you all the files you need and then post.
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tesla74:
Give this a try. It is an older firmware, but works.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78160485&postcount=24

I have a newer one I made, but I don't have a way to test. The above should work, but if it doesn't, I'll post my script.

Edit: Once you have a working phone that will boot. Don't touch the boot.img or patched_boot.img.

Just run the following commands to update:

adb reboot recovery

adb sideload firmware.zip

Once updated, then you can flash the patched boot image.
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tesla74:
I have uploaded my fastboot install of WW-15.1630.1811.32 to Google drive. Anyone willing to test can unzip and run the install.ps1 script in PowerShell as Administrator. If anyone wants to test, make sure you already have this firmware installed first, the useual adb sideload firmware.zip method. That way if the script fails, there won't be any problems.

Edit2: removed link

Edit: I'm still blind to this phone. I'll be getting my phone in a couple of weeks. I've been saving $$.
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Roland 19:
Ok, the first part let me boot to a screen that said the data was corrupt but gave me the option to factory reset and lose all data. I did this and I'm at the welcome screen for first time setup. Should I still adb reboot recovery and adb sideload firmware.zip ? If so, launch powershell from the adb folder?

Edit: appears to be all the way reset, like right out of the box reset. No longer shows the unlocked bootloader warning screen, so it may be locked again even though asus said it was irreversible.
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tesla74:
Yes with powershell as administrator. Make sure you download the latest firmware WW-15.1630.1811.32 and rename to firmware.zip.. then put into your adb folder and run these commands:

adb reboot recovery

adb sideload firmware.zip
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tesla74:
[MENTION=9576382]Roland 19[/MENTION]

Also make sure USB debugging is enabled. Link to directions in OP. Adb won't work without it enabled.
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Roland 19:
Did you see my edit above? It appears to be all the way reset, like right out of the box reset. No longer shows the unlocked bootloader warning screen, so it may be locked again even though asus said it was irreversible. Knowing this, should I still proceed?
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tesla74:
If it is locked, try updating the firmware OTA. If OTA doesn't work, then you'll have to unlock again and do the update manually. If OTA works, it is up to you to decide if you want to unlock again. It has to be unlocked for root. Just make sure to update the firmware first before you flash the patched boot image. A simple way to think of it is that the boot image, patched or not, must match the version of firmware that is installed on the phone. I believe you had a mismatch and that is how your phone locked up on boot. I hope that all makes sense.

I think it might be one of those or another app that requires root as it only changes when you root. Try disabling the modules and root apps one at a time.

Really? But why? I want to sell my phone
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Mcfeels_Guy:
Once you unlock the bootloader it voids the warranty of the phone. This screen image is to show that your bootloader is unlocked.

Pretty much any phone that has the bootloader unlocked shows a similar screen. At least on all the phones Ive unlocked.

Asus and developers as well as other phone companies specifically give multiple clear warnings before you unlock. As well as stating that OTA is disabled.

Unless your buyer does not mind rooting and modding and manually flashing updates, it shouldn't be too big of a problem.
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tesla74:
I was told this RAW install will remove the warning. I haven't tried myself. If it does, you should check to see if OTA works, which I don't think it will, and you should let the new owner know that they will need to manually update the phone. Please let us know if this removes the warning and if OTA works.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78160485&postcount=24

Edit: Here is the reply where Roland 19 says it was a complete reset.
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Mcfeels_Guy:
Hmmm, that's interesting. I wonder if OTA would be enabled again. Hopefully we hear back or get some news on this. Could be handy just in case.

[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] zulfikar:
Do you know if it is possible to downgrade?
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tesla74:
You can downgrade by flashing the zip. Just make sure when you root that the patched boot.img is from the same firmware version that is on the phone. I would just wait for the new firmware download.

You'll need to the unlock the bootloader and enable USB debugging

Rename the firmware firmware.zip and copy to your adb folder.

Connect phone to pc using the side port.

Then type the following commands:

adb devices

adb reboot recovery

adb sideload firmware.zip
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] zulfikar:

As long as it is from the same firmware that is installed on your phone.

[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tesla74:
Did you try the install in post 24?

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78160485&postcount=24

That should work. It is a raw install and it doesn't matter which version is installed on your phone.

Also if you know the firmware version installed on your phone and it isn't 1811.46 which isn't listed yet, you can download and get the boot image from that firmware and flash it.
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] zulfikar:
This one worked! Thank you! Now lets try to get twrp and root

[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] rhodnie13:
Sir can you help me to root my ROG phone
[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Marco589:
Yes,

That's pretty easy to do.

download Payload dumper, ADB (link in the first page) and your firmware.

extract the adb into C:\adb\

extract the payload dumper into a folder

connect the phone using the side port to the pc, check all the driver are ok. (be sure to have enabled the ADB debug)

Just extract the payload.bin from the Firmware zip.

extract the boot.img from the payload.bin, using the payload dumper. (put the payload.bin into payload_input, run payload_dumper.exe, you will find all the files extraced into payload_output)

using magisk manager (installed in the phone), patch the boot.img (Press install, install, patch boot image and select the file you extracted before), so you get patched_boot.img.

put the patched_boot.img into the adb folder.

go to adb folder, SHIFT+F10, open powershell here.

check to see the phone in adb mode

adb devices

now, put the phone into bootloader mode.

adb reboot bootloader

check to see the phone

fastboot devices

then

fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img

as soon as it has finished:

fastboot reboot

done

[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Mcfeels_Guy:
Been busy lately but flashed 46 the original way and everything is great. This phone has treated my very well, especially with root. It is a power house. I'm able to do anything I want with it. I even answered my own questions over time with this phone regarding some things I posted pages back on this thread. I'm also happy with my nifty micro leef adapter to expand the storage 512gb more for roms, movies, music and other media files. And given the side and bottom USB c ports, moga style controllers as well as telescopic controllers work with ease with the leef in regards to running games externally instead of clogging up the internal storage. I'm just down right disappointed on the lack of development for this phone. I was hoping some good custom roms would drop for this phone. Im sure over time they might, but it'd be a shame if they start rolling out when a better phone drops or is around the corner.

[Asus ROG Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Tesla74:
Download the latest firmware from your local ASUS website. Check that the firmware matches yours WW, CN, etc.

With your phone unlocked and USB debugging enabled, plug your phone to PC using the bottom port on your phone.

Rename the firmware firmware.zip and put into your ADB/Fastboot folder

Open cmd window and type the following:

adb devices

Check to see if adb sees the phone

adb reboot recovery

Select ADB on phone

adb sideload firmware.zip

Let me know if that updates your firmware. After it is updated you can root using instructions in OP.. start at step 6.
