I would be very careful with this. Please do some research before flashing.. there has been some reports of soft-bricking. The file will not flash with TWRP or CMW and needs the stock recovery. Also, you will need to do some extra work to get a custom recovery working and root.

Ohai, thanks for linking to my article. I've written a follow-up, complete with today's OTA, as well as how to apply it via stock, unrooted, and official firmware running stock recovery.

Nice so can we get a bootloader unlock please

I am pretty certain that ship has sailed. Moto caught on to the exploit before and fixed it with an update, and KK is much more secure than any prior software. I highly doubt another exploit is going to be found.

For all my 9.30.1 people, I love you guys too.http://pan.baidu.com/s/1eQimdea
Enjoy that official KK ota for 9.30.1 over that slow ass chinese server and stop trying to get the 9.18.94 to work.

Has anybody with stock, unrooted 9.30.1 actually used the file in this link? I'm getting a bit impatient waiting for the OTA. LOL
EDIT:LOL I had to remove the link from my quote because I have less than 10 posts.

Root and twrp needed

Seeing as the moto g 3rd gen was rooted in a week after release I was wondering if we could expect the same for this fantastic device? Cm12.1 would complete this phone for me!!

It'll come in time. It might take a bit longer as this phone isn't quite as readily available everywhere (such as in the US).

How do I remove TWRP recovery?

I just got my second hand Nexus 6p and the bootloader came unlocked and TWRP is installed.
The updates don't work when TWRP is installed so I want to go back to the stock recovery.
How can I achieve that?

twrp has nothing to do with not being able to take an update.

How to root Zenfone 2 with official Android M installed

Hey guys, I'm wondering how to install root access to my Zenfone 2 ZE551ML (Z00A) with the latest firmware update.
I saw that there was a way to do it by recovery but it was for the beta and I'd rather do it in some other way.
Does anyone know a working way to root it?
Thank you in advance.

need that too, and an unlock bootloader tool

Can we root android 6.0.1 without unlock bootloader? Warranty is important for this ****ty phone

The way is the same as for MM beta Rom.

I wouldn`t be so sure. I followed the steps and it didn't work. My bootloader is locked, as it was on LP. Some people say we need to downgrade, unlock bootloader, flash MM again and root, but I'm not in the mood to do it now. Some users on that thread say tethered TWRP should work on locked bootloaders, but it's not working on my phone, and I'm not the only one who reported the same.

https://www.search4roots.com/how-to-easily-root-asus-zenfone-2-ze551l-marshmallow-6-0-1/ do you think this will work? Also, will xposed work with mm?

My phone bootloader is unlocked and it is rooted. The method is in the forum, search.

There's a "Check root availability" button on that site. I clicked it and selected Asus, model z00a with Android 6.0.1. According to the results, no one click root available yet. I've entered my email address to be notified when it becomes available.

The title of this thread is very misleading. It's declarative rather than interrogative; I thought it was a guide or something.

not sure if this helps anyone, but I was able to follow this guys video and it worked for me. I didn't understand the video, but the links provided in the comments worked. annoyingly i can't post the link on here but the video was called "How to root Zenfone 2 Android 6.0 Marshmallow" by Quang Boom on youtube
unfortunately i then tried to get xposed working and softbricked my phone in the process so its back to square 1 for me!

Thamks for the info. I didn't want to unlock the bootloader, but maybe it's the only way. I'll test it when I get home from work.
Regarding your issue with xposed, if you flashed twrp or can at least enter fastboot mode and issue a "fastboot boot twrp.img" command to boot into twrp, there's a xposed uninstaller zip you can flash to recover from the bootloop. I've had to use it before on other phones and it always worked like a charm.

MM Root + xposed ok on Z008
Hi Guys,
I have a Z008 and did the official upgrade to MM yesterday.
But before doing the upgrade, I unlocked my booloader while in LP (using the official Asus apk)
After the upgrade I got rooted + xposed using the same procedure than for beta MM (shakalaca method):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/android-6-0-beta-root-xposed-downgrade-t3404321
For those who want to downgrade safely to LP, Asus provides a downgrade image on its support page, and Z00A as well (didn't try):
https://www.asus.com/fr/Phone/ZenFone_2_ZE550ML/HelpDesk_Download/
Hope it will help

Yes I can confirm that xposed brick the z00a.

Finally got it all up and running with xposed, thanks for the link gilleshander.

So guys, tried to root MM official via booting TWRP 3.0.2-0 and flashing supersu 2.73: bootloop. Need I to flash supersu 2.74 beta? I came from LP with unlocked bootloader and root, so i'm ready for testing

It really wouldn't hurt your phone more than it is now, would it? Maybe that's why the guide containing the procedure to root the MM beta rom specifically talked about the supersu zip beta version.

flashfire to update via ota?

Has anyone successfully used flashfire to push an ota update to their g4 plus? I'm currently on mm, rooted via SuperSU, xposed, elemental kernel, and twrp. Also can't for the life of me find where the ota downloads to lol, also if flash fire works, should you first uninstall xposed, and revert back to stock kernel? Thanks

In Any Case If You Want to Install an OTA you will need Stock Recovery and I Would Say if want To Upgrade to Official 7.0
Use the Fastboot Method as It Will Override all your Mods like Xposed and EX Kernel ETC. Otherwise you May Get Some Issues

Swear their use to be just the radio zips floating around at one point.... Only thing shying me away from updating stock is the few reports of loss of imei
