Hi all,
Like the Zenfone 2 Laser (ZE500KL), Adoptable Storage is disabled by Asus on the Zenfone Selfie (ZD551KL).
It has been confirmed by several owners on the net -and I too- and by checking Asus' Android Marshmallow Stock ROM changelog.
I have the Zenfone Selfie and I do really need Adoptable Storage. I saw some people tell it may be possible to enable it back (with adb, etc), but I dont know if it really works.
Here are the guides I've found (ordered by most promising link first):
http://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-79993-1-1.html
http://www.zenfonehelp.com/2016/06/asus-zenfone-sdcard-to-adoptable-storage.html

http://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-69149-2-1.html
Can someone who upgraded their Zenfone Selfie (ZD551KL) to Android Marshmallow confirm if they managed to get Adoptable Storage back with one of these guides ?
Delete this comment please.
I did this on my ZE500KL and is working:

Thanks for the reply, but that's still don't confirm for the Zenfone Selfie (ZD551KL).
By the way, you've confirmed it for the Zenfone 2 Laser ZE500KL, which I also have and will try on it
Also, how did you root your ZE500KL's Marshmallow Stock ROM ?

By the way, are you sure your phone is truely rooted and that apps needing root really works ?
Because in the official SuperSU page on XDA I put up here, the developpers says your phone must already be rooted before flashing SuperSU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1538053
Edit: Your phone may not be rooted, because another member got a problem when he "rooted" his phone the same way you did: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67975226&postcount=16
He got a problem with BusyBox, does yours works perfectly ?

Is rooted. SuperSu is rooting your phone when you flash it, all what you need is the bootloader to be unlocked. The root works fine for me, the only problem is that I need to enable it in ASUS Auto Start Manager or it will not start at boot and will not be able to grand permissions I used the SuperSu from here and everything is working.

I also got the same confirmation from the other member, everything's working now.
I also wouldn't have known for ASUS' Auto Start Manager, Thanks !
The problem was that he used a beta version of SuperSU, while telleing others to also use it
Although, I still find SuperSU's official XDA page warning -aka being root before flashing SuperSU- a bit strange though...

I think that warning is for an old SuperSU when the phone was new or something like that. I'm glad that is working

That tool is pretty neat !
But I can't test it now, I have some root issues to deal with first.
I recently rooted with cf autoroot and installed helium which asked me to connect to desktop as though it wasn't rooted. I have had no problems rooting a note 3 and tab s with helium but my note 4 has 6.01 so I'm wandering if there's an incompatibility. I then installed es file explorer and lo and behold it doesn't recognise root either.
Titanium and sold explorer have no problem so I can't see what the problem is.
I decided to see if installing supersu as system might work but this option is greyed out telling me that I has system - less root mode. I don't understand the difference and when I check the same option on my tab s and note 3 this option is available.
Can anyone help me with a workaround whilst keeping stock rom if that is indeed the reason why Helium as es don't work?

Helium doesn't support marshmallow. The app in playstore is outdated

I presume you mean as root? I saw some threads in the s7 forum which suggests it works unrooted. I haven't tried that yet.
And btw es explorer works fine, I just had enable the root option.
Thanks for your reply

Even if you're not rooted will not work for you.. you will get stuck at enabling usb debugging and asks you to enable PTP mode and it never pass this step..

ok understood. Shame that the developer has abandoned this app. I tried to contact support but he doesn't answer anymore.
Maybe adb backup /restore is the solution.

Maybe it's the version of MM, I don't have the most recent one. DPH1
I am rooted on stock but as I say Helium still doesn't see root. Desktop works.
Not sure what screenshots you want but here's one of Helium ready to backup and one of my about screen.
Try starting a adb server manually,
Run adb, check and devices, run desktop or chrome helium tool.
Chrome tool definitely works on my one plus 5

try installing drivers for your device in your desktop. I did that and it worked for me.
How to root Zenfone 3 Max 5.5 Inch (ZC553KL)...please!
I haven't found any solution to root too. pls help
same here. seem like this phone is still too new in market ...
also waiting on root for this particular model...
Hey guys.
I just bought this model too...
Still no luck on getting Root, right?
I checked a bunch of threads all over and only found solution for ZC520KL.
I also tried KingRoot (and several others), but KingRoot was the only one who returned an error message stating that a Root strategy had not yet been found for this particular model.
The request count for this model was 93, including my own.
So, I'm guessing we should all install KingRoot app and even though it does not root our phone, we can still issue a request for the devs to do it.
The more, the merrier.
Best regards,
Same hereeeeee, I was hoping this one will be much easier to root.. But eh.... I guess not
Same here. I looked for the unlock boot. I did not find..
Yes please someone make a tutorial to root the
Asus Zenfone 3 Max ZC553KL pleaaaase

Thus this method work?
For now NO but will keep try other ways to root the device
What do you plan to do once rooted? I don't see custom ROMs. The only thing I can think of is Xposed.

hello everyone
My HTC One M7 (viper rom) left me so i buy this Zenfone Max Plus the same day, i'm very surprised this low price phone is very much more performant than my old hight price HTC.
That would be very cool to see some rom's on this one, i hope but maybe i'm dreaming.

Hi,
I cant find nothing about rooting the version of tab 3 pro, featuring 4gb ram and 64gb rom.
I success root this tablet, but its seems dont works very well with some apps that can't be named in this forum, so I think the root is not "full".
I follow the Magisk tutorial to root, basically install drivers, and with fastboot unlock the bootloader. Then flash supersu and Magisk, in this order.
Someboy know more about this model? we can get a full working root?
Thanks!!!

Well I just used magisk. I don't.use lucky patcher but will give it a try later. All.the apps I use have worked without issue.
Maybe worth a mention. I run my tablet unencrypted.

Magisk is global root method. You need boot.img from your installed firmware.zip and apk of the magisk.
There are a lot of guides in web. Find one like I described.

Try to follow normal Zenfone 5 tutorial magisk tutorial. It should work. Don't do anything else from Zenfone 5 tutorials. Others are device specific.

Does the TWRP file you used really intended for Zenfone 5Q?

Hey man, i was trying with the Z5 one so nope! But i searched for a Z5Q one on the internet and got a working one.
I managed to root it quite easily, unfortunately it seems like i rooted for nothing since what i initially wanted to do was enable the Camera2API, but nothing seems to activate it heh... Editing build.prop does nothing, if i try to install zip files to enable it through TWRP, it always fails because it can't mount /data, etc etc
But hey, it's rooted, working fine and if i find something useful to do with root on the Z5Q, i'll do it haha
