Hi,
found this here: http://b.it168.com/thread-1861355-1-1.html.
I successfully flashed it on my Note and it's working flawlessly.
Translation of the thread (with small clarifications):
Statement:
Flashing may damage your phone.
If you are willing to take this risk, then continue to read and follow the prompts.
If you hesitate to take this risk, do not flash!
Thank you!
Note:
This CWM update package completely wipes your data, so back it up before flashing.
To flash this CWM package, make sure your phone has CWM Recovery.
While this ROM comes with Samsungs official kernel, you won't have CWM Recovery anymore after flashing it!
To get it back, you have to flash the CWM + Root-Kernel from the kernel package via Odin.
ROM package Download: http://minus.com/lbmFjR9aGytLI6

Hi,

Thanks for the swift reply.
Unfortunately that gray button to the right of the green button doesn't show on my page in either Chrome, Firefox, or IE.
Hmmm..
Just logged onto a remote server and observed the same behavior...
The button doesn't show...
Possibly the site assesses the incoming IP address and reacts accordingly from a region specific perspective...
We need a mirror.
Strange...An hour ago it worked without any problems but now that grey button doesn't show up anymore...
I don't come from China or anywhere near so I don't think that this is related to your or my region...
Mirror is uploading, but my internet connection is not that fast, so it will take about 1-2 hours...Sorry!
Edit: Mirror is online, Links in OP are updated.

Does this still have touch wiz?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Yes it does.
Sorry, I'm a bit clueless.
The downloads are .exe and the instructions say to download the .zip.
Do I rename the .exes to .zip? Or do I just drop them on as is?
- Frank
The .exe files are compressed, you have to extract them using '7zip'.
If you extract the file 'N7000ZSKK1_ROM.exe' for example, you'll get the file 'N7000ZSKK1_wipe.zip', which you can flash via CWM Recovery then, just as described in the OP.
I'll edit that in OP to clear things up.
Would the counter be added, if I flash this KK1 Rom ? Would the yellow triangle shows up ?
Thanks !
Flashing this via CWM Recovery will not add to your counter. Just follow the OP steps.
link is down!!! can someone mirror it

Thx, coz I read someone mentioned DON't use Odin to flash that the counter will increase. Jig not works for Note. And currently, found no solution to reset the counter.
And just wanna make sure, Flashing the CWM + Root-Kernel from the kernel package via Odin that won't increase the counter, right ?
Thx.

Root/Unroot, Bootloader Mode, Odin, Recoveries & NANDROID Backup.
--------------------------------------------------
Greetings people. The main focus of this guide is centralizing information and files about the title contents to help bolster this community. I'll be as clear as possible in this little guide and excuse me if my English isn't perfect (it isn't my native language) and this is my first XDA guide. Oh and a little disclaimer: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU IN ANY WAY DAMAGE YOUR TABLET. BY FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE YOU ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS. ALSO PLEASE NOTE THIS GUIDE HAS BEEN WRITTEN WITH A WINDOWS PC IN MIND. IF YOU DON'T HAVE A WINDOWS PC AVAILABLE, GET ONE, BORROW ONE, I DUNNO, but you need one. That said, let's begin.
--------------------------------------------------
FAQ Section
About Root
What exactly is root and what does it do in my Galaxy Tab 8.9?
XDA user phonic covered the technical details in this post, but basically root allows you to access and control (through applications) the device's internal system files, therefore making you a "superuser". Some apps require root. Advantages such as ad-blocking and more are only available if your device is rooted.
About Bootloader, Recovery & Download Modes
What is Bootloader Mode and how can I access it?
Bootloader Mode is a menu where you manage core functions in your device. In order to access Download Mode (needed for ODIN) and/or Recovery Mode (needed to flash ROMs and more), you will need to enter Bootloader Mode by holding VOL- when turning ON your Gtab, selecting the mode using VOL-, and entering by using VOL+. The box icon represents the Recovery Mode and the other one the Download Mode. While inside Recovery Mode, the Power button will act as an "Enter" button while the volume buttons will move the cursor.
I read something about Stock Recovery and CWM Recovery. What are those?
There are two types of recoveries. The default one that comes with your GTab (Stock Recovery which looks like this) and the CWM (Clockwork Mod) one which has cyan-colored letters for our GTabs. To flash ROMs and manage your device a bit more, you need the CWM one.[/U][/COLOR][/B]
Can I flash the CWM Recovery using the ROM Manager app? Oh and which file format is compatible?
Refrain from that. As of this writing, the ROM Manager app does not have a CWM Recovery compatible with our specific GTabs. If you still proceed, you will softbrick your device and your device will have to do a trip to ODIN in order to work properly once more. CWM-flashable files are .zip files.
About NANDROID Backup
What's NANDROID and why is it recommended?
Simple, a NANDROID is a master backup tool which is available through the CWM Recovery's "backup and restore" menu. It stores everything in the ROM except the kernel and your SDcard contents such as pictures, music, documents, etc (so always backup those elsewhere). It's more like this analogy: a photograph which captured the exact state of your ROM, apps and all at the moment of backup. It is recommended in case of emergency and in case you need to go back to the latest working ROM. How-To section below.
About ODIN
What's ODIN?
ODIN's a troubleshooting/emergency tool in case your GTab bootloops (eternal restarting of a device, i.e. softbrick). Please note that if your device's screen doesn't even turn on (an example of a hardbrick) then you may be out of luck. This tool can save your GTab if you follow instructions, or can hardbrick your GTab if you don't follow instructions.
Where can I find ODIN? Do I need something like a driver to make it work? Also, which file format is compatible?
Yes you do need a driver first (provided at the end of this guide) and a Windows PC. The ODIN program is inside the zip inside the Toolkit provided at the end of this guide. As suggested by developer alterbridge86, use ODIN version 1.85. Regarding file compatibility, generally the .tar files are the ones for ODIN.
Does it remove Root and custom recoveries such as CWM in case of a warranty claim?
Yes. There are two ways:
[*]Flashing an ODIN image to go back to stock defaults (easier in my opinion). If you want to use ODIN then you have options in the Development forum, specifically this thread.
OR
[*]Flashing a CWM zip file (CWM, which is a Recovery, will be discussed in the Recovery FAQ below) after doing all wipes and restoring Stock Recovery (Restoring Stock Recovery How-To is below these FAQs)
Ok, so how do I use the tool?
The How-to section is below the FAQs.
How-To Section
Remember, all files mentioned in this section this way are included in the Toolkit at the end of this guide.
[ Rooting ]:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Make sure to download the Toolkit from the link at the end of this post and put the "Root" .zip in your device's internal memory. You will enter Bootloader Mode, and then Recovery Mode as detailed in the About Bootloader FAQ above. You will now select "install zip from sdcard" then "choose zip from sdcard" and look for the Root.zip which you previously put in your SDcard. Select it with the Power button to flash it and then reboot your device. When your device finally boots, check if the SuperSU app is available, if it is then you're rooted now.
[ Fixing Root ]:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
In some cases a ROM can come with a broken root due to the superuser binary being located in the wrong system folder. Please flash the Root.zip package in CWM Recovery. The Root package will delete the offending binary from the wrong place and install it in the right place. For more instructions, see Rooting How-to.
[Unrooting]:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
For unrooting, proceed to Bootloader Mode and select the Recovery icon (detailed in the About Bootloader FAQ above) please flash the CWM Recovery flashable file provided in the Toolkit link at the end of this guide called "Unroot". Now reboot your device. If there is no app called SuperSU or Superuser in your apps list, then your device is now unrooted.
[Installing the CWM Recovery]:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
First, you need the file called either "7310_CWMR" or "7300_CWMR" depending on your model, inside your device's SDcard. The procedure is very similar to Rooting and either procedure can be done first. Go to Bootloader Mode (as detailed in the FAQ above), then Recovery (assuming you've Stock Recovery), select "apply update from /sdcard", then look for the file you put in the SDcard. Select it with the Power button to flash it. Now, reboot once more to Bootloader Mode, go to Recovery Mode and now you will see the CWM Recovery Mode. You are now ready to flash stuff. Please note you don't need root to flash a ROM, just this CWM Recovery. Be sure to follow the ROM thread's instructions precisely.
[Restoring Stock Recovery]:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
For this one you will need to use ODIN. Locate the file "Stock Recovery", which is a .tar file, perfect for ODIN's PDA section. Follow the ODIN 1.85's HOW-TO below.
[Doing a NANDROID Backup/Restore]:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
You need CWM Recovery for this one. Once you're in CWM Recovery, the process is straightforward. Look for the "backup and restore" menu, access it and you will see two options: "backup" and "restore". Select "backup" and wait until the system gathers all data and packs it as a backup located in your internal memory, inside a folder called "clockworkmod". Once more, remember this will not backup your SDcard contents such as your documents, music, pictures, etc (so always have a backup of those elsewhere).
For restoring the process is the same. You need to do the following to ensure a proper restore and prevent issues that might pop up: Wipe your system using CWM Recovery's "wipe data/factory reset" and after that go to "advanced" and now "wipe dalvik cache". Now go to the "mounts and storage" menu and select "format /system". That was a full wipe. Now proceed to the "backup and restore" menu, select "restore" to select your backup. Remember to reflash the kernel if you had one that didn't come with the ROM (like _motley's for example).
[Using ODIN 1.85]:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Enter Bootloader Mode and then Download Mode as detailed in the FAQ above. Be sure to have installed the drivers (included in the zip at the end of this guide) in your Windows computer along with the ODIN program anywhere in your PC (also included in the Toolkit at the end of this guide). Open ODIN 1.85 in your PC, look for the "PDA" button, press it and look for the right file (which usually is the biggest-size file inside the downloaded and unzipped ROM .zip). THE FOLLOWING THREAD OFFERS MOST ODIN IMAGES. IF AVAILABLE, put the CSC, PIT and whatnot files in their corresponding places by pressing the corresponding buttons (IF these files aren't available, ignore this sentence). The PIT file is only necessary in case you want to have the Repartition option available and want to repartition the device (this is an alternative that can work in case of a really borked tablet full of bootloops even after a normal ODIN session without Repartition). Now, assuming you have the drivers installed in your PC, connect the device while in Download Mode, and you will see that ODIN will see it in a yellow rectangle in the upper section that says COM# (# being any number). BEFORE CLICKING "START" MAKE SURE "F. RESET TIME" IS CHECKED ON THE LEFT SIDE. Now, click the START button inside ODIN and it's flashing time. Wait until the blue meter fills. After ODIN says PASS in a green square, you can then reboot the device (long pressing the Power button is an alternative if it doesn't auto-reboot).

Thanks a lot, lufc. I've put your provided link at OP along with credit.
Hi, I've installed the clockwork Recovery, I wiped everything because I wanted to turn back to factory defalut and now the tab is bricked.
I can turn on it, I see the galaxy tab logo but nothing happens.
So I turned to the default system recovery, wiped again but it is the same: after 10 minutes the screen shows only the logo and nothing else.
Any advice?
Thanks

So I turned to the default system recovery, wiped again but it is the same: after 10 minutes the screen shows only the logo and nothing else.
Any advice?
Thanks

I don't know. This guide is focused on the 7300/7310 variants of the Tab 8.9 as specified in the OP.

Yes, you are correct. You can root while being in Stock ROM (the system that comes with your device) or after flashing a custom ROM. Yes, root will void it, but you can always go back to the factory image (hint: ODIN) and that removes everything, including CWM Recovery and Root. If you're staying with Stock ROM, then yes, you need to flash the Stock Recovery and Unroot (both How-Tos in the guide).

[Restoring Stock Recovery]:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
For this one you will need to use ODIN. Locate the file "Stock Recovery" (in the zip included at the Download Link at the end of this post), which is a .tar file, perfect for ODIN's PDA section. Follow the ODIN 1.85's HOW-TO above.
[Doing a NANDROID Backup/Restore]:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
You need CWM Recovery for this one. Once you're in CWM Recovery, the process is straightforward. Look for the "nandroid menu", access it and you will see two options: "backup" and "restore". Select "backup" and wait until the system gathers all data and packs it as a backup located in your internal memory, inside a folder called "clockworkmod".
For restoring the process is the same. You need to do the following to ensure a proper restore and prevent issues that might pop up: Wipe your system using CWM Recovery's "wipe menu", do a "wipe data/factory reset" and after that "wipe dalvik cache", now go to the "storage menu" and select "format /system". Then proceed to the "nandroid menu", select "restore" to select your backup. Remember to reflash the kernel if you had one that didn't come with the ROM (like _motley's for example).

Hello All,
Maybe a stupid question but, I did not find any clear answer to my question.
I have taken a backup with NANDROID and got the backup into the folder clockworkmod as told in the instruction. Now as I Understand this does not include the ROM or does it?
Also the Restoring stock recovery, how does that work, I put the "recovery.img.md5" file into Odin and flash, but from where does the stock firmware come? Most probably it's not in the 4MB "recovery.img.md5" Do I need to prepare something before using this or does it work without any preparation?
Does it also erase Overcome CWM Recovery that I installer earlier?, It did not say anywhere in the post if I need to have Root permissions to use this?

A Nandroid, as stated in the guide (FAQ section), is an exact copy of the ROM you were using with all its settings and apps you had. For the Stock Recovery, you just need the file you mentioned, and as stated in the guide, use ODIN and put the file into the PDA section. Yes, it overwrites the CWM Recovery, and no, Root is a process inside the ROM (once your device boots into it), it doesn't have any effect in Bootloader Mode.
Okay, don't know if it's me that is just stupid or what the problem is. I have tried to root my device and it does not seam to work as I'm not able to install any new kernel. Picture attached of when I try to install root.zip
It complains about: "Can't access to '/system/csc/NEE/system/'.
I have successfully installed Android 3.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410887) At least in About it says that I'm running Android 3.2. From new it was running 3.1

This error doesn't have anything to do with root or kernel. It is just trying to set your CSC and fails because the folder is not there. It happens if you flash firmware that is not intended for your region, it doesn't effect anything else, so don't worry about that.

Anyhow any ides to why I can't install a custom kernel after I have installed the Root.zip file? I get following screen when installing:
But after rebooting I still have the original kernel from flashing 3.2

The picture you posted shows stock recovery and you can't flash a kernel with stock recovery.
You need to install CWM recovery and then you can flash the kernel from there. I'm using CWM recovery from there http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321142
I used the Overcome_CWM_Recovery_v5.1.2.6_P73xx.zip and flashed it using stock recovery.
If you know how to use Odin then you can download the Overcome_CWM_Recovery_v5.1.2.6_P73xx.tar and flash it using Odin.
It doesn't matter which you use, the end result is the same. Only flashing method is different.
When you have CWM recovery installed, then you can boot to CWM recovery and flash the kernel from there.
If you at any time flash stock rom back using Odin, then it will overwrite all, including the recovery. So you have to start all over.
I registered to say THANKS!!
I'm fairly new at this, and did something rather stupid this morning.
Thought my tab was hosed, but following the excellent instructions provided here I was able to recover it, what a relief...
It was actually a pretty good learning experience, although a bit traumatic.

Will TWRP work on D290?
Not sure,but to keep you save..download flashify to back up your stock recovery, or use this command

INTRO
This is a full guide for unlock/relock, install TWRP, Root your device and backup/restore stock OS. Each and every step is explained thoroughly with pictures and videos.
I have ASUS Zenfone Max Pro M1 (6GB variant) (X00TD) (ZB601KL), so I can’t test for other variants. Please report back issues, corrections, omissions, etc., though the guide should work for all devices.
THINGS TO KNOW (IMPORTANT)
~Every text written in double quotes “” means the same written without the quotes.
e.g.:- “abcd” means abcd
“zxcv” means zxcv
They (“”) help to separate usual text from the other text (like a command, file name, etc.)
~If you have not enabled file name extensions then you will see files without their extension and vice versa
e.g.:- “filename”, “mypicture” in 1st case
“filename.extension”, “mypicture.png” in 2nd case, respectively.
~Boot Partition or Bootloader:-This is the partition that enables the phone to boot. Without this partition, the device will not be able to boot.
~Recovery Partition:-Recovery partition lets you boots the device into a recovery mode to perform recovery tasks.
~TWRP: - stands for TeamWin Recovery Project. It is a custom touch recovery that is GUI based.
~Flashing: - simplest: - installing
~Fastboot Partition: - lets us reflash partitions. (On device)
~Fastboot: - is an executable used to reflash partitions. It comes with the Android SDK. (On PC)
~Rooting: - an Android phone lets owner edit system files. Thus enabling various tweaks and use of apps that require root access.
~Device driver: - determines how PC will communicate with a device.
~Unlocking/Relocking:-With a locked Bootloader, booting into custom things is not allowed is not. Unlocking lets us do so.
~Reboot: - Switching ON AND OFF (in simple terms)
Requirements
MIND, PC, USB Cable, Internet, Fully charged PC (Windows OS), and obviously Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1
The Real Steps From Here
FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE YOU WILL PROBABLY LOSE ALL THE DATA ON YOUR PHONE SO MAKE A BACKUP FIRST (Don’t worry it’s in guide too)
STEP 1. Downloading all the necessary files
a. Here are 2 zip file with everything you will probably need following the guide :-
basic zip
extension zip
. I have tested the procedures using these files only so maybe other versions might not work. A “guide.doc” with the same text as in here (on XDA) is also present. It will be of great help if you don’t have internet connection in PC.
The basic zip file contains minium files needed.
The extension zip file contains the TWRP recovery(then one used in the guide),guide.docx ,and the videos used here too.
Copy the twrp file to unlock folder of extracted folder.
b. Extract the zip file above.
First download the zip file and Copy to PC
Then Right Click on it
Then click “Extract All”
Uncheck “Show extracted files…”
Click on “Extract”
The folder “zip” will be extracted
Done
This “zip” folder will be called extracted folder in the guide video link to extract zip
To download most up to date version of the files go to links present at last
STEP 2. BACKUP
a. Use an apk backup tool to backup app installers
VIDEO TO BACKUP APP INSTALLERS
b. Some APPS like Whatsapp, etc. have backup to drive function use that
VIDEO TO BACKUP WHATSAPP CHATS
c. Backup SMS AND Call Logs
VIDEO TO BACKUP CALL LOGS AND MESSAGES
d. Copy each and every file from you internal storage to PC.
Video to backup each file to pc
DONE
Step 3. UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER(Data will be wiped)
2 options:-
A. Official Method (NOT TESTED): -
In extracted folder go to “unlock” folder then “Official” folder. Install the “UnlockTool_9.1.0.3_180621_fulldpi_signed_ZB601KL.apk” in Asus and follow the steps from there.
B. Unofficial Method (Tested):-
a. Installing Drivers
Connect phone using USB cable to PC
Right click on This Pc
Go to “Manage” > “Device Manager” Or Just search for “Computer Management”/“Device Manager”
A list will appear.
Find your device (best way to do so is by disconnecting/connecting the device and notice the changes accordingly in the list)
Now right click on it>”Update Driver Software”>“Browse my computer for driver software”
Now either enter path of the driver folder or click on browse and navigate to the driver path from there.
Press Next OR
“Let me pick …”>and select the driver
video to install driver
The drivers have been installed
b. Booting into FASTBOOT
Switch Off the Phone
Hold the Volume UP and Power ON Button Simultaneously
Device buttons labbled image
You will see this on your phone
image of FASTBOOT screen
c. Unlocking Bootloader
Now connect phone using USB cable to PC
Look for the “unlock” folder in the extracted folder.
Open it
Find “unlock.cmd” or “unlock” file
(Or “unlock no erase.cmd” to keep data {not tested})
Open it
Done
d. You will see some messages in yellow/brown/white colour on your phone
You will most probably see “encrypting your device”, “warning Bootloader unlocked” messages, let phone do its work and don’t interrupt it, and keep cable connected. Phone might reboot too. The phone will at last boot into stock OS and you will see the device setup screen.
image of the warning message
e. Now if you wanted TO ONLY UNLOCK BOOTLOADER THEN THE JOB IS DONE, long press power button. If you want to root or flash TWRP then continue (Tested method to root requires TWRP flashing or you can try the untested method to root only)
Step4. Installing/Flashing TWRP
TESTED METHOD
a. Connect phone using USB cable to PC
b. Don’t setup your device just now because possibilities are you might lose the data again
c. Boot into fastboot mode
d. Open the “unlock” folder in the extracted folder.
Now Two Different ways to opt for from here:-
i. THE LAZY METHOD (Tested)
a. Open “flash_recovery.bat” or “flash_recovery” in the “unlock” folder of the extracted folder.
b. You can flash the tested or any other recovery using this script.
c. Follow the steps from the script
video of how to use the script
d.Then go to step of Flashing ZIPS of The Manual Method
e. Done
OR
ii. The Manual Method (Tested)
a. Keeping Shift Key pressed, right click {with mouse} in the blank white space of the “unlock” folder’s explorer window.
b. From the menu select “open command window here”
c. A CMD window will be opened
open cmd video
d. Now type “fastboot devices”
e. See if your device is connected. You will see something like this
f. Now type “fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-X00TD-20181024.img”
If you want to flash any other recovery instead of “twrp-3.2.3-0-X00TD-20181024.img” write the file name of your recovery file. Make sure it’s in “unlock folder”. Though this recovery is the only tested one (by me).
g. Now keeping the phone connected to PC, boot into TWRP/Recovery by pressing the Volume Down and Power ON Button Simultaneously.
h. The usual warnings, messages and recovery boot screen will flash:-
warning image
twrp flash screen image
i. It may take some time to load so wait for at least 2 minutes.
j. Now if touch is not working press power button 2 times (on and off the screen)
video showing how to enable touch in twrp
k. If it shows “Swipe to Unlock” do so. If it shows “Swipe to Allow Modifications” then wait and continue reading …
swipe to allow image
swipe to unlock
l. “Swipe to Allow Modifications” means you allow TWRP to modify system. This will make sure TWRP remains in the phone and not just vanish after a reboot but it also means you will have to flash some other files to be able to boot into stock rom back.
m.
2 ways from here:-
i. Now after swiping, Decrypt Screen will appear just press cancel.
decrypt screen image
OR
ii. If you have data on the device then enter pin/password or try default_password.
If you had kept pattern then either go back and change it or try this:-
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
these no’s correspond to pattern dots.
Say you kept pattern “third row left to right” then the password is 789 .
If all these fail then you will have to lose your data.
n. As we don’t have any precious data in our phone we will (or you are compromising)
Press “Wipe”
Press “Format Data”
TYPE “yes”
Press “tick” or “enter key”
Done
wipe data video
>Flashing ZIPS
o. Now Copy these 2 files
i. “decrypt.zip” or “decrypt”
ii. “Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_12.16.2018.zip” or “Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_12.16.2018”

Tips
After rooting don’t just go on and flash a custom rom. Take a backup first (of all partitions) using TWRP and keep it safe somewhere so you won’t need to find unbrick tutorials later. Plus you will have your most stable and tailored rom with you.
Also don’t just go on and flash xyz mod. Research and then Flash.
Magisk is our best friend. It lets you do modifications without hurting the system. The Magisk modules are most safe mods as they can be reverted back easily.
And don’t just go on and debloat stock OS. In Magisk there is a module called Debloater use that. You can easily revert back if anything goes wrong.
Other good Magisk modules: - Energized, Systemizer, MidnightCore & Advanced Charging Controller (acc) but do read their XDA guides first.

Appreciate the effort . I have a suggestion. It would be helpful to put the name or link of the app that you used to back up apks.(some apk extractor lite ig). I'll provide the one I found anyway. https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/ankit.../apk-extractor-lite-2-8-android-apk-download/

it means im interested in your question and im following it
I want to unlock bootloader, flash TWRP and flash a custom ROM (Cerberus OS).
I have rooted and flashed TWRP before in my previous device but I'm not familiar with unlocking and Custom ROM.
Do I have to follow all hese steps for what I want to do or I must skip decrypt/encrypt and Magisk?

Thanks for the help.
I'm running into some problems while installing the driver software on my Windows 10 laptop. It shows Error 10 this device cannot start.
I tried to uninstall and reinstall the drivers, rebooted my pc on every step, tried to install while connected to my phone, but nothing seems to work.
I've installed the Pie Beta for Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 (not sure if this is causing it)
Is there a solution to this problem?
I am currently on Beta Pie...will these methods work for bootloader unlocking and TWRP, custom rom flash ???? I just wanna use PE/Havoc OS rom...no other tweaks or root
thanks its working
I updated to pie beta and I think this guide is not working for that, because when flashing twrp. I'm getting 'request download size is more than allowed size' and I tried every way possible to solve it. But no luck Hope you can help me with it, or maybe it'll work after stable version?
