Is it safe to flash MM to rooted, bootloader-unlocked Z00A? - ZenFone 2 General

I rooted and unlocked the bootloader of my ZF2, and I want to try the new MM firmware. Is it safe or is there any specific steps that I need to follow beforehand?
Thanks in advance, newbie here.

I could say it's safe. I was upgraded to MM by pushing stock MM zip into the root of internal storage then wait for FOTA to detect it and do upgrade.

MM Root it's not possible in any way locked bootloader devices. only way unlocked bootloader and custom kernel. Stock kernel root impossible.

Thanks for the reply.
It is knowing that commands operating in MM, thought he could do the same in LP, have root eventhough have locked bootloader, all for ADB commands.
"I die" wait to unlock my bootloader; but my model is not unlockable officially. H815P
I understand the language. It is indeed instruction to get root on MM with locked bootloader. Only tested on f500 and OP is the only 1 with success so far. Lets wait and see if more will come up
Edit: this is NOT root for locked bl on MM. OP just made it clear to me on the other site

No. Currently and for the forseeable future it is NOT possible to root Marshmallow with a locked bootloader.

Do you want me to quote all three posts again?
Root on Marshmallow requires a modified kernel. You cannot boot a modified kernel with a locked bootloader.
I don't know about other models, but H811 allows you to unlock the bootloader and root on Marshmallow, but it's not via supersu injection.
Well months have been passed. Any news about to root H815P? I still have my Bootloader locked and LG's site says that my model cant be unlocked. Any idea?
Guys. This is for sending files to the phone kinda like adb. Not root. It more like for executing files that are already on the phone.
IN No WAY IS THIS A ROOT METHOD
YOU CANNOT ROOT MM WITH A LOCKED BL. ITS NOT GONNA HAPPEN ANYTIME SOON

Rooting MM with Superuser ... is not possible with locked bootloaders as Chainfire's method requires modification of the boot partition and that equates to a brick with bootloaders that are not officially unlocked through LG.
Downgrade to LP, root and install steadfasterX's TWRP-in-FisH @ https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/locked-twrpinfish-locked-g4-devices-t3573048 if you want a working custom recovery version that will work on LG G4's with locked bootloaders. Version 3 Beta 4 & 5 are very stable - download links are in later posts on his site.
He is working on porting EFIdroid in FisH, that if successful will eventually allow one to boot custom roms, i.e., you may be able to have your rooted MM with a locked bootloader at some point ... just not yet.

If on MM you will first have to downgrade to LP with LGUP-NEW at https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803 if you are able to. You will have to search for an H815P10 stock rom. Then see if you can find a pre-rooted image of that rom. You can follow this guide to obtain root or install a pre-rooted image if you are able to find one: Root ANY LG G4 Variant 100% Success Directives | Root Injection | Less Bricks at https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586.
If you want a custom recovery for your locked bootloader, check this out by steadfasterX: [LOCKED][G4][TWRP][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP-in-FIsH for all locked G4 devices at https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/locked-twrpinfish-locked-g4-devices-t3573048
You will not be able to install a custom rom, however, but steadfasterX is working on EFIdroid-inFisH that, if successful, will eventually allow the installation of a custom rom on a locked bootloader.
Hope it helps.

hey guys,
Hope I am not too late, I found a way around this.
What I did was downgrade from Marshmallow to Lollipop.
I did it by using the LGUP program and following this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/fix-unbricking-lg-g4-h818p-stuck-t3707485
In short what I did was:
1. Download the kdz
2. Download LGUP and install it, then the dll thing that comes in the archive.
3. Install LG drivers
4. Put device in download mode by pressing up and inserting a usb cable when device is powered off
5. start LGUP and select "Refurbish"
6. in the path select the kdz (even though its looking for tot files).
7. Flash Lollipop and boot
8. Go back to download mode, now you have Send_Command.exe
Then I flashed "H815L 10F.kdz" which gave me stock Lollipop on 815L. I am not sure where I got it, It was sitting on my disk. But basically anything which has H815L (for the model), and 10 which means its Lollipop should work.
Then I could go in to download mode and run Send_Command.exe

NOTE: All LG G4's (with the exception of H818), can be unlocked unofficially now with steadfasterX's: [UNLOCK][UNOFFICIAL][G4] Unlock **ANY** LG G4 device with UsU, provided you are on stock Marshmallow and your ARB is less than or equal to 2.
I.E., you can now install a custom TWRP recovery, root and upgrade to Nougat, Oreo etc.

Help regarding stock android 6.0 on ZOOLD

~~~~~~~~SOLVED~~~~~~~~~
Hello guyz. I upgraded to android 6.0 yesterday and then flashed the TWRP recovery. Made the backup of stock 6.0 from it and then flashed RR ROM. During setup I formatted my ext SD as internal and whole of my data including the nandroid backup of stock got deleted...
So, if I want to roll back to stock, what should I do?
I tried formatting entire system, data, cache from twrp and then flashing stock recovery and boot img by sziraqui and then flashing update.zip (MM) on stock recovery but it got stuck on verifying update zip.
It would be great if someone could help me out in flashing stock 6.0.
I have following zip files-
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Ze...user.zip?_ga=1.71171472.1292989533.1461267912

Flash 1.17.1531 first. Let it boot to system at least once. Then flash MM ota
Thanks for your constant help mate.
But won't it be downgrade since I already upgraded my bootloader to MM leading to chances of brick?
Thanks

TWRP and root on stock MM SM-A510M

I installed the MM update on my SM-A510M and I was hoping to install TWRP to root the device but after reading the TWRP for the A510 series thread, I think this is not possible, anyone has rooted the stock MM on their devices?

Noob help upgrading from MM to Nougat

Hi,
I'm currently using a custom rom on MM and am looking to move to Nougat however there are so many different posts flying around about how to do this so am a little confused.
Is it as simple as finding a custom rom I want to flash and using TWRP to flash the rom and Bootloader or do I need to use Odin to flash the bootloader and then re-install TWRP and root and then flash the custom rom?
Any step by step guides would be appreciated I am looking to use Super Stock ROM if I can.
Thanks,

OTA update when rooted

My phone is unlocked and rooted. It wants to download the OTA but I know that Motorola says on their site you will have problems with the OTA. Should I download it or Should I flash a ROM.

You must be PURE stock to take an OTA update, or it will fail and bootloop... Flash a rom if you wish.
What i did was make a back up of everything just incase and then look up the ota version on your phone and get it in the rom section and look up twrp flashable OTAs and just flash it. you might lose root but its easy to get back if you flash magisk again.
You can found the right guide here:

Of the current version? lol, no, we wish... we are averaging 3-6 months behind OTA releases for full ROM images, if we get them at all. Moto does not officially provide them, so they have to be leaked somehow, and sources are completely dried up yet, but it's getting there. :/

You can't be rooted with a locked bootloader so your question is obsolete.
You can apply to OTA with an unlocked bootloader.
You can't if you're rooted or changed anything else in /system or /vendor.

Thanks for the reply. Very clear! Please I need more help. The thing is...I don't want the oreo ota right now. This is my mother's phone so I don't want any problem. Nougat is just fine for now. So I need to stop the upgrade notification spam. I believe I must unlock BL, then root, then freeze the upgrader app. Is that correct? I can't force stop the app. That's for now.
I've read bad reviews about oreo battery drain and other stuff. That's why I'm trying to avoid it.
If someday I want it, maybe will install some rom.
Thanks bro.
EDIT. Does this make sense? Or should I stay stock everything and take the ota/ignore the spam everyday?
EDIT 2. Another question. What happen if I take the oreo ota, and i don't like it. Can I unlock BL, root, install some nougat rom, as a pseudo downgrade?

Oreo ist absolutely fine, no problems with it.
I haven't heard of any issues like increased battery drain, for me nothing changed at all regarding battery and the rest is also working flawlessly.
It would be a lot of action to unlock and root the device just to stop the updater service.
If you don't have any other plans that need root privileges I recommend just taking the OTA (s).
If you want to run another ROM later you can always unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, root the device and install any kind of custom ROM, Nougat, Oreo or Pie. There are also TWRP flashable stock firmwares which make it easy to move between different stock versions.

That's good. A pseudo downgrade is possible. Thanks man. I'll think about it. And yes, the root privileges is just for stopping the updater.
Cheers
EDIT. Man, are you sure about this? Taking the Oreo Ota, and in the future unlock BL, root and install whatever rom?

Yes I am.
Just check some of the custom ROM threads, there are some that need stock Nougat as base but the most of them need Oreo. For custom ROMs there are no up/downgrading problems, that's only the case for stock firmwares.
And as said above, there are TWRP flashable stock builds that doesn't have these problems too and will bring you to whatever stock firmware you want, not just pseudo. (Here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5...o-twrp-flashable-stock-builds-coming-t3830482 )
So if you're on stock Oreo after unlocking the bootloader and flashing TWRP all options are open for you. Just don't forget to make a full nandroid backup incl. EFS and persist before you flash anything.
