Hello all zenfone laser ze550kl/ze551kl lovers
As I posted yesterday, I have gain root access to new version .
In order to gain root access for this version, I unlock bootloader with official release of ze551kl unlock toolkit.
Since we have unlock bootloader, so we do not need to patch system file in order to gain root access.
xposed framework version78 patched released by @Shakalaka working well, xposed modules were not working properly in previous version.
Tested apps
Adaway
RootExplorer
Titanium backup
BusyBox
In order to gain root access
update your firmware to latest version,
http://www.asus.com/in/Phone/ZenFone-2-Laser-ZE550KL/HelpDesk_Download/
unlock your bootloader by using any official unlock bootloader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-2-laser/general/ze600kl-official-bootloader-unlock-t3273263
Download attached file
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz46tV6s-sImeFMyVnB5aUlmbDg/view?usp=sharing
connect your phone as usual, run commands to get in fastboot mode
then use command
Code:
fastboot boot boot_200007.img
(as image file have name boot_20007).
let process complete & phone will restart automatically.
Now you have working root for this version.
working twrp may be find here

Thanks in advance.
Can you please share what you did...
After the bootloader was unlocked - how did you get root installed?
Thanks
Since the boot loader is now unlocked, is there anyone working on a custom recovery for the device?

As after bootloader unlocked, we can use fastboot boot command.
Only thing we needed is search for similar working device with & port that for our device.
Guys, check it & reply

to apply new update you should completely unroot & flash stock boot, otherwise you may get error.
If you loss your root, then we may try again for that version.

It's basically "flash", not "root" Cyanogenmod ROM. Cyanogenmod is already rooted.
If you really wish to do so, go to this link for an in-depth guide.

Thanks Man.
What's the difference between locked and unlocked bootloader?
You can do more stuff with an unlocked boot loader like rooting your device. Warranty will be void though that's why some prefer to lock it again before they take it to a service center
Thank you for tutorial. I have two questions. If I relock phone, will the warranty be valid? Will I be able to receive OTA updates with relocked bootloader?

1. If you rooted device- make full unroot! - I unrooted using superuser app "full unroot"
2. If you have TWRP remove it and reverse to original recovery!!! Done
3. Downgrade to C432B052 (Dual SIM / Europe) - Where can i download this old Version?
4. Install last original firmware via OTA update!!! (In my case is C432B170 (Europe)
5. Connect device on PC
Just found C432B052 in your blog - so next try now.

Hi
Thaks for the tutorial...
Any idea how to change the Message from "Phone relock" to "Phone Lock" ? same before unlock...
So, I unlocked the bootloader, I flashed a custom recovery and then I installed Superuser, but after sometime I deleted everything and I installed a new ROM, but I lost my root, though I still have the bootloader unlocked and a custom recovery, I don't have superuser anymore, and root checker says I'm not rooted. My question would be, what does this mean? Is my phone rooted or not, and how does this state affect my phone, will apps be able to access root files or not? and so.
Thank you in advance.

Unlocked bootloader doesn't root your phone, SuperUser does that. So, if you don't have SuperUser binary installed, your phone is NOT rooted, and apps which require root access will NOT work. If you're running a Lollipop ROM, you need SU 2.46 because older SU will cause bootloop. So, download SU 2.46.zip, and just flash it via recovery. That will root your phone

You have the "engineering root kernel" or engineering sboot, aka bootloader?
If you have the sboot all you need is a sepolicy patched kernel for the device to boot.
Edit: Here is the G920A_OJ7_Sepolicy_Patched_Kernel.tar.md5 which should allow the device to boot with a rooted system assuming what you have is the engineering bootloader for the G920A OJ7 build. Warranty bit may be tripped.

An eng sboot is an unlocked bootloader so the sky is the limit, e.g. custom recovery, kernel, root.
Never heard of an eng kernel but it would likely have to be permissive to allow you to push in root via sbin.
Is it permissive?
My rooted G920A 5.1.1 OJ7 reads "-eng" after the kernel version (paid $40 for remote root, I do not have the file). No troubles at all, reboots fine... Maybe somebody else also working on these?

That is correct, I just checked with root checker. I guess an engineering bootloader would make it boot again? Unless the newer "eng" ones are locked also.

An engineering, unlocked bootloader will allow you to flash a patched kernel that will allow the device to boot with traditional root, i.e. a modified system.
I did some googling yesterday and thought I came across an eng G920A sboot.bin, aka bootloader (the website mistakenly called it an eng kernel). If its legit it should do the trick once paired with the patched kernel, aka boot.img, I previously posted. But I don't own a G920A so can't test.

I own one and since now own a Nexus 6P, it just sits around doing nothing. More than happy to test. Worst case I'm back to stock via Odin. Point me to the files and I'll test. I'll already tried this route once and lost root trying so I'm willing to do it again.

Seems like the root methods mentioned on the forums are dangerous. Now.. I love a good rooted phone. But why couldn't I Just odin twrp and flash a SU update zip? Is it only because the bootloader is locked? Why can't I unlock the bootloader and odin twrp and SU#?? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Unless you are on an old rom, the only option to get root would be to get another phone. This phone will never again have root.
Still on Lollipop here, phone still blows.

Yes bootloader lock inhibits from directly flashing anything if ure on lolipop u can inject root with the modified system image. And having root is the onlything that makes the 991 worth keeping if i couldnt have root then out the door it goes. Also root is all you get no twrp clockwork mod nothin again due to locked bootloader

Yea the only root method for us is 1st lolipop only zv6 firmware which isnt mentiond any where. 2nd due to locked bl and no workaround like loki or bump for g2 and g3 it stops us from gaining root that way. Plus if im not mistaken all the root methods on previous g series have been done throught adb one clicks or stump root. But on g4 only way is to replace the system partition with one that has root injected. Its really not that bad. Im lazy and copy and paste all commands. But in the end we still only have root. With minimal system r/w acsses.
Now i may be wrong but last i heard this was only method.

Quoted for truth. Holy sh*t.
I like this phone, but I'm SOOO ready to move on. I think I'm going to try the Note 7 this year.... But only if and when they announce root has been achieved on the Note 7. I'm on ZV6 rooted, and I'd rather have root than the latest and greatest OS so LG can keep MM and N. Don't need it if I gotta give up root.
