The reason for the ota not working has nothing to do with twrp

I always read that to instal upgrade with ota the tablet have to be all stock (no recovery custom, no sistem modify etc...)
Isn't so?
By the way, if i install the 4.3 on 4.2.2 in recovery mode, i have to do all wipes?... I can't install again all my apps during this holyday...
Thanks

I had the same problem, but flashing the 2.6.0.0 TWRP hepled. http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/grouper/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-grouper.img
Then to find the 4.3. system update for your Neuxs 7, you will have to clear data for Google Services Framework
Check the system update again and let it install it self.
Let me know if that worked for you.

Updating OTA after rooting.

I've been thinking about rooting my G2 for bluetooth sixaxis support but intend on updating too kitkat when it is released.
I'm aware I would loose my root access but will I be able to update OTA once the update arrives? Or will restoring the phone be required?

As mentioned a zillion times, accepting OTA with root or custom recovery is a one way street to Bricksville

Not really. I'm rooted and have tried to take Sprint's OTA a couple times. It just seems to fail and reboots normally, no changes.

Don't encourage people to do things which are known to cause problems.

I would root and flash a stock based ROM. After kitkat is released someone will make a new ROM from the update.

So after rooting there's no way to go back to entirely stock LG ROM for OTAS in the future?

Restore stock recovery should do it.
Remember kids, back up your EFS. FreeGee can do it, TWRP can as well.

Perhaps not advisable just in case.......however, if you are completely stock including stock recovery but you have rooted you can install an ota successfully. At least it worked for me. I received an ota notice whilst on 10a (and whilst very drunk) and whilst rooted stock and it updated successfully to 10f. Also, my root was still in tact.
I wouldn't advise to try this until it has been clarified by someone of greater knowledge than myself however. At the moment, many are of the opinion that this may brick your device. If I had have been sober, I wouldn't have tried this and it may just be the case that I have been lucky.

Taking the OTA when rooted is fine as long as you have the stock recovery. If you have twrp or cwm then it's bootloop time where you just boot to recovery. If that happens and you have access to adb you can delete the fota and it'll boot normally again.

Ok.
Then,i can root,maintaning stock recovery and i can receive ota without problems or bootloop after update.
You confirm?

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.

The same happened to me

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.

[ROOT][XPOSED][SCRIPT][6.0 OFFICIAL]Semi-auto root for ZE551ML

Hello guys, today i'm here to present you a new tool made by me: a Semi-auto rooter for ZE551ML.
It only roots your device and install magisk, a tool for managing SELinux and root. Root is based on magisk, so if you need to run an app that requires an unrooted device, you Can toggle root access easily and then reenable them.
Xposed tool: You Can find it in downloads section!
It maybe work on that phones that had locked bootloader on LP, i'm not sure, but it's good if you previously have unlocked bootloader before upgrading to MM.
Needs tester for ZE550ML!!
FAQs:
What it does do?
Simply it boots a TWRP and sideload some files, but you need to do few steps before proceeding.
Why need I to do some steps?
Because I cannot do a fully-auto script because recovery is only temporary.
My ZxxyzXY device is supported?
I'll try to support more device as much as I Can do. For now files are only for ZE551ML.
Why I should firstly root my device and then use xposed tool?
Because you need firstly to install Magisk v6 using root tool.

Okay, wait some mins.
Yes, it works on locked bootloader (MM only) but requires a previously unlocked bootloader on LP before upgrading to MM.
No, you can't install xposed for now, i'll create another script for that
