http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133
I recommend this one ...

Again all credit goes to Chainfire.I just mirrored the specific build.
Steps
1)After unlocking bootloader install twrp.
2)Copy Beta SuperSU to your internal memory or external sd.
3)Boot into twrp and swipe to allow modifications to system.
4)Tap install and locate the SuperSU zip.
5)Wait until it finishes flashing and then hit reboot.

The EMUI website isn't working for me. Can someone help me here? I want to get the unlock code.

Help needed
Hey guys, I'm having trouble accessing the unlocking website, it just crashes. Can someone help me out here? I can't create a nickname. Each time it says wrong nickname or duplicate nickname, even after following the naming convention.

You should use SuperSU 2.79. Rooted the KII-L05 with it last night -- this is a GR5 (Canadian variant of the Honor 5X).

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zen...-0-beta-root-xposed-downgrade-t3404321/page14

I would wait and see what the devs here come up with. The thing's only been out 1 day!

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.

A2017G root and BL unlocked

Hi folks,
I just got my self A2017G global variant and on B08 firmware and i had been reading all the threads and seems like there isn't any way to BL unlock and root A2017G model yet right?
And i'm also really confused, if you need to root you need to have BL unlock? Due to flashing TWRP recoveries?
Thank in advance !

Follow this thread to install TWRP, BLunlock and root : https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-install-twrp-unlock-bl-flash-t3517379
As @bungie240 quoted : installing TWRP and directly flash Supersu 2.65 gave booting problems. He had first to unlock BL and then flash Supersu again.

Hi folks,
i have the same problem: A2017G V1.0.0B10
I followed this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-install-twrp-unlock-bl-flash-t3517379
Can't find TWRP that works with my Version. I have Tried TWRP ailsa_ii 3.0.3, 3.0.3.1, 3.0.4
Neither worked. Booting with Volume up and Power-Button will always lead into black screen with red led.
Normal Boot works, i am not rooted. Stock ROM.
I would really like to go to LOS 14.1 but there seems to be no way.
Does anybody have any ideas?
Thx

Same here.. I can't download the twrp at http://d-h.st/dgWW as in the guide

Had the same issue, you have to flash the twrp in the OP that is 3.0.2.
The others fail to flash, then upgrade the desired version once you have twrp working

I guess I was using the wrong version of twrp. When downloading the recovery from that website everything worked fine.

I've got this same problem, but flashing that universal TWRP build didn't work :/

You don't need to install custom recovery to update magisk. Read OperKirin page, there's a manual, how to install magisk.
I don't think exposed would work on omnirom. twrp installs, but there's no point having it.
