[GUIDE] Marshmallow Root Guide for ZE500KL

ATTENTION!
You MUST read all the guide BEFORE doing it, if you do it without reading all of it first you may ends up bricking your phone!
Prerequisites:
Asus ZE500KL (may work on ZE500KG, but haven't tested, do it on your own risk) on Marshmallow, NOT LOLLIPOP!
Also, it must have fully booted AT LEAST one time, otherwise, you'll soft-brick it.
If your phone is not on Marshmallow, you can use THIS guide instead​Download and put the unlocker zip file and the SuperSu zip file in the phone
How To:
1 - Install adb and fastboot driver (follow THIS guide)
Now you can connect the phone to your computer​2 - Reboot in fastboot mode with one of the following method:
a -Volume Up while booting up​b -With adb, after enabling USB debugging in developer settings, using:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Now that you are in bootloader, you have to boot in TWRP,
download THIS recovery (is the twrp one) and boot in to it, using this command:
IMPORTANT: DON'T FLASH IT OR YOU WILL GET BOOTLOOP!!!
Code:
fastboot boot TWRP-x-x-x-x.img
(Obviusly the recovery name must be the one you downloaded)
IMPORTANT: DON'T FLASH IT OR YOU WILL GET BOOTLOOP!!!
It should automaticaly enter in recovery.
Now you MUST flash FIRST ZE500KL_BootloaderUnlock.zip, otherwise you'll brick your phone
Btw, the recovery will mount your phone's memory, so you can put now the files in the phone, if you forgot to do it before​
AFTER you installed the unlocker zip, you can install the SuperSu zip
When the install is complete, clear the cache and reboot your phone, now you can enjoy your root!

So.. I'm thinking of buying a ZE500KL and I've been doing some reading on this phone on the forums.. did it really just get unlocked like yesterday? does that mean custom roms from now on?

I would recommend Z00L/T, you will get cm13, official unlock at least.

You Say " May Work On ZE500KG" Is ze500kg already receive Marshmallow Update?

Drivers were installed already.
Developers mode is enabled already.
Windows 7 64bit
Tried rooting this using lollipop and everything went well.
thanks!
UPDATE: i got it. it has something to do with the drivers.

Without opening the bootloader.

i think isnt permanent, this step is needed to boot into twrp then flashing a unlockBL..
to make permanent.. the command must "fastboot flash recovery twrp_X.X.X.X.img"
but make sure to unlock bootloader first...

Root is a success tho, great job, OP!
Edit: okay, not every reboot, but after several reboots, then it went back unrooted

[GUIDE] Mi Mix 2 stock MIUI - Unroot, upgrade to Android Oreo OTA, re-root

Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for your device. Use at your own risk!
If you have a rooted stock MIUI Mi Mix 2 running 7.x Nougat with encrypted data and wish to upgrade to 8.x Oreo via OTA:
Make sure you have fastboot on your PC. I'm not going to go into that here. Search and you will find it. If not, then flashing is not for you.
On your device: Open Magisk Manager and click Uninstall. This will remove root.
On your PC, download and install XiaoMi Flash Tool to install device drivers:
https://xiaomiflashtool.com/download/xiaomi-flash-tool-20170425
Download recovery.img to your PC from:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bmz1xsqhb3v95mz/recovery.img?dl=0
Download this version of TWRP to your PC:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/nvrh79gbgrgio6d/Twrp+supersu_oreo.zip
Download no-verity-opt-encrypt 1.6 to your Mi Mix 2 from here:
https://www.nextgen-networks.de/de/...evices-recovery/29-no-verity-opt-encrypt.html
Download Magisk to your Mi Mix 2 from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4450387&d=1521348853
Power off your Mi Mix 2 and boot into Fastboot mode by holding volume down and power.
Connect your device to PC with USB cable.
Open a command prompt and run
Code:
fastboot devices
to make sure your device is recognized.
Then run
Code:
fastboot flash recovery C:\recovery.img
making sure to put in the correct path to the recovery img that you downloaded from above.
Now reboot your device and go to Settings, About Phone, System Update, Check for Updates and install the OTA.
Your device should reboot and install the OTA and apply it.
Once you verify the OTA is installed, power off your device and return it to fastboot mode.
Open a command prompt and verify your device appears in fastboot
Then run
Code:
fastboot flash recovery C:\Twrp__chinese_Android8.img
making sure to put in the correct path to the TWRP img that you downloaded from above
After the TWRP recovery is installed, immediately boot into recovery (not system) by holding volume up and power.
Once in TWRP Enter your device passcode to allow access to device memory.
Flash no-verity-opt-encrypt 1.6 to prevent overwrite of TWRP by stock recovery.
Flash Magisk-v16.2(1620).zip to re-enable root.
Reboot to system

Thank you.

If you don't have an unlocked bootloader, you should be able to just accept the OTA upgrade and it will install properly.

(i hate xiaomi for locking the device for 1 month....!! )

Flashing LF ends in endless boot. No loop but endles bootscreen 1,2,3 dots endlessly! Any ideas ?

So I got stuck on Bootscreen.
I flashed MIUI with TWRP and was back on stockrom with stockrecovery.
Then I booted TWRP temporarely with ADB. (adb command: fastboot boot twrp.img )
Now I installed Magisk and I am happy now
Just DON´T install TWRP. Boot it temporarely !
I used MIUI from here: https://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-miui-10/

Screen asking for PASSWORD.
The TWRP screen asks for password. Default password does not work and after format data the files are not displayed. Same case in clicking cancel.

use xiaomi eu roms they dont ask twrp password

twrp password
Twrp asks for password. What kind of password is this? How to use twrp without the password? How to use this twrp?

Has anybody got rooted redmi s2 finally?
In particular, with stock rom?

finally yes
When TWIRP asks for password nothing helps. The only thing I could do is to wipe ALL THE PARTITIONS except for external SD card, of course. Yes , you loose everything on your phone. Now, you flash the ROM you want (I flashed the stock ROM). After that, you flash the Magisk file. It is important not to reboot in between. After rebooting you have the new system installed. After initial configuration, you have to manually install the Magisk Manager apk.
P.S. the Lazy thing is not needed. TWRP persists.

Want mbn file of unlock bootloader redmi y2
i need emmc_appsboot.mbn file of unlocked Redmi y2(s2) 's bootloader.
If someone has unlocked y2 then please send me the file.

This TWRP for Custom ROM, and if you flash on RI MIUI will not work with any method as well. Especially if you Flash LazyFlaser will certainly be bootloop (stuck on logo)

to be able to use this application you must enter EDL mode or "TEST POINT". After devices are detected 9008 on PC, proceed with running the application. Don't forget to enter the "firmware27" password.
Hopefully it can help for UBL redmi YSL without having an official UBL.

No! you cant flash a full nougat rom with fastboot.
Bootloader cant be downgraded!
for hardbricked phones you have first to boot it using the sdcard img.
then when you get bootloader working without sdcard, can use this tutorial

1. Oreo Battery drains considerably faster than 7.1. (But charges faster too)
2. Fingerprint unlocks slower than 7.1
3. Lags slightly when doing intensive tasks.

Change log: November 18 Security Update
NOTE: Like so many other users, I too updated my device with OREO and stuck with that. I haven't tried downgrading it because I don't want to end up with a hard-bricked device once again. Point here is the new build is not tested. So please take a TWRP backup before using this build. Don't forget to post me even if works fine.

The classic way to install TWRP、Magisk and more

Installing magisk_patched is unnecessary.
download ADB here
download TWRP here
download magisk here
first ,we must unlock bootloader.
Settings->About phone->tap at Build number 7 times.Now,we unlocked the "Developer options". open it and turn the OEM unlocking on.
Reboot to bootloader&Run this command on your computer with ADB:
fastboot oem unlock
Use Volume key to select&Power key to enter.
(Ensure you have fully backed up all your files first because the device will be wiped back to default factory state but with an unlocked bootloader)
reboot to bootloder&connect us phone to computer.
Run this command on your computer with ADB:
fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-2-guacamole.img
then,the phone will reboot to TWRP,but this not end for install, it will be broke after you reboot again, we must install the twrp-installer-3.3.1-2-guacamole.zip In this TWRP.
after this step we got the TWRP installed.
then use TWRP to install the last release magisk.
now we got magisk installed & SafetyNet-pass.
you can install xposed or not .
thanks all&enjoy.

This guide completely misses unlocking the bootloader, changing the option in developer settings to OEM unlock is NOT unlocking the bootloader. Please amend your guide to show the missing steps:
Running the following in the bootloader is how to correctly unlock the bootloader :
fastboot devices
Make sure your device is reported correctly
fastboot oem unlock
(Ensure you have fully backed up all your files first because the device will be wiped back to default factory state but with an unlocked bootloader)

reedit now，thx

May want to fix Ture to True and after flashing the TWRP-installer reboot back to TWRP to make sure it sticks(Recovery Installed) before you flash Magisk zip.

Don't forget to flash to both slots to get everything to stick.

Its pretty hard to fail safetynet. I've flashed many different things on this phone and never failed it.

JeSUS! FINALLY! After trying out that other method of rooting, installing twrp and magisk (by using patched images) THIS worked. I updated to 9.5.6 (back to stock, but still bootloader unlocked) and then followed this guide to rooting this phone. Finally! Whew! Wish I had done this from the start. I'm able to go get some sleep now! Thanks OP!

So many great minds here! Best community for a specified device that ive ever had the pleasure of being a part of. Can't wait to try this when my unlock token comes in ?

fixed my post so this method i dont have to worry about slots a and b right? Then what about when an update comes. Do i flash the full update or can i do an OTA? If i flash a full .zip will i loose my data? I'm coming from a pixel 2 xl.

Can someone please clarify. If I do this on slot A, how do I change over to Slot B to do it?

Installing magisk_patched is unnecessary.
download ADB here
download TWRP here
download magisk here
first ,we must unlock bootloader.
Settings->About phone->tap at Build number 7 times.Now,we unlocked the "Developer options". open it and turn the OEM unlocking on.
Reboot to bootloader&Run this command on your computer with ADB:
fastboot oem unlock
Use Volume key to select&Power key to enter.
(Ensure you have fully backed up all your files first because the device will be wiped back to default factory state but with an unlocked bootloader)
reboot to bootloder&connect us phone to computer.
Run this command on your computer with ADB:
fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-2-guacamole.img
then,the phone will reboot to TWRP,but this not end for install, it will be broke after you reboot again, we must install the twrp-installer-3.3.1-2-guacamole.zip In this TWRP.
after this step we got the TWRP installed.
then use TWRP to install the last release magisk.
now we got magisk installed & SafetyNet-pass.
you can install xposed or not .
thanks all&enjoy.

No it doesn't. I flashed the twrp installer zip with magisk and my wifi is working just fine.

May want to fix Ture to True and after flashing the TWRP-installer reboot back to TWRP to make sure it sticks(Recovery Installed) before you flash Magisk zip.
