[Zenfone Selfie] Enable Adoptable storage on Stock ROM ?

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
https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg4/comme..._your_lg_g4_stock_no/?st=iqoyswji&sh=ce67ad13
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

Successfully rooted Motorola Droid turbo

Hello Guys,I have Successfully rooted my motorola droid turbo su4tl-49 without using sunshine or moforoot.I did by first using vroot then iroot then kingoroot then atlast i tried kingroot apk downloaded from kingroot.In 3rd attempt my cell phone was rooted successfully.
I have rooted set.Can i install xposed framework in it without unbricking it?
Can i also unlock its bootloader?
I am able to delete system files like verizon cloud app ,amazon kindle etc.
It doesnot work if you will use directly kingroot,you must try all these app first.i tried this on two turbo sets
Whoever wants to know step by step i can guide you how to root this.root fix occur every time by kingroot but remains rooted.
I have not installed adaway or xposed or twrp i dont want to be brick.need help to do this
I tried this on 2 turbo still result the same.its because i used many exploits .
I can give proof and can live explain to me if someone wants proof i can show i am not lying.u can send me your whatsapp or imo contact,i will show you rooting it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBEa9Q__AeM&feature=youtu.be
Please watch this video as a voice recording how i did this

And when you reboot, it's still rooted? It's not hard to have temp root but doesn't do any good since you can't really write to system to make changes.
With unlocked bootloader you can have permanent root.
Excuse us for being very skeptical.

when i reboot its still rooted

OMG!! Are you sure you still have root?

You still haven't convinced us it's permanent root that can make permanent changes to system. Install Adaway. Install Xposed and modules. Install TWRP custom recovery so you can flash zipped files. Install SuperSu. Do that and report back to us.
My phone is rooted. It doesn't "get root easily".

(havent read the entire thread)
Either something is rerunning a temproot each time, or he has a device that for some reason has no write protection (engineering device, already unlocked or bad flash controller).
If the first one, its not going to last with the mm patch, nor would it remain stable. Many things will just break.
If the second one, then its specific to his phone.

really? i got a Droid Turbo for less than 100 bucks and it came with Lollipop and as far i know Motorola is not open for rooting or unlocking bootloaders...

NO, it's Verizon -- NOT Motorola

Motorola not open for rooting or unlocking bootloader? Where did you get that idea? Yes they are. You get free unlock codes from Motorola -- unless you have a Verizon model.
It's Verizon, not Motorola that is the problem. They demand the locked down bootloader. All my Quarks have free bootloader unlock, straight from Motorola. They are very helpful.
But Sunshine paid exploit takes care of the Verizon problem. How do you think this phone has 9 Marshmallow ROMs, and a Nougat ROM? I'm not even counting all the custom Lollipop ROMs. Bootloader unlock and root, baby.
This guy says he rooted (permanently) without unlocking the bootloader through Sunshine. Which is impossible with the Droid Turbo, unless he has a magical phone (previously unlocked, and he didn't know or some hardware flaw that allowed it.)

Here's the current custom Nougat (7.x) Quark ROMs to choose from. More will be coming!
[ROM][7.X][All quark] crDroid Android
That ROM started on 7.0 right now, and is already 7.1.
Here's the current custom Marshmallow (6.0.1) Quark ROMs to choose from:

Bliss Rom 6.4 by Team Bliss
[ROM][6.0.1][OFFICIAL][QUARK] MoKee OpenSource Project

That list is in no particular order.
_________________________
You can also install a Marshmallow stock ROM released by Motorola for the Brazilian Quark. @iiWoodstocK adapted it so it runs on ANY Quark, including the XT1254 Droid Turbo or XT1250 U.S. Moto Maxx (clone of the XT1254). It will use YOUR radio, whatever you have installed.
[ROM][6.0.1][Stock][Odexed]MPG24.107-70.2 Brazilian 6.0.1 for XT1254[TWRP Flashable]

http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/development/rom-mpg24-107-70-2-brazilian-6-0-1-t3426234
I didn't include it in the list above, because while technically it is a custom ROM, the only "customization" was to allow it to be flashed via TWRP and to allow it to be used on ALL Quarks: XT1254/XT1250/XT1225. Otherwise, it's pure Motorola Marshmallow stock which was officially released for a Quark phone.
iiWoodstocK said:
this ROM is just factory Marshmallow with a modded build.prop. I didn't include any radio in the .zip, so it uses whatever is currently on the device. Aside from my build.prop tweaks, this ROM is even usable for Brazilian XT1225 users, but the device will say it's a Droid Turbo and contain useless CDMA build.prop lines.

Not at all. AFAIK, you don't have to regret erasing that e-mail at all. The Sunshine exploit must be paid once per device, so it would have been useless anyway

How Root MOTO G5, my experience

Hi guys. I was really tempted to root my Moto G5 (XT1675) and besides there is a thread giving instructions about how to install TWRP it doesn't give any indication about how to root the device. And there is one started by @Johny Cipeli here but he could not confirm the root installation in MOTO G5, as he only has a MOTO G5 PLUS. So as you see I wasn't very confident about rooting.
Well, I did it at the end and in resume I followed this guy's youtube guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWLR8JnZ7z0 but instead of flashing the potter version of TWRP, I used the CEDRIC one. One important thing is that you should use the Magisk v11.6, don't use the newest one cause it didn't work for me (Magisk was working but not the root). Use the one that the guy attaches in the video. Anyway I put the magisk version here in the attachments (once you flash it you will have root automatically as it's shown in the YouTube video).
Here is a proof of my rooted device: http://imgur.com/a/LQkgs

Nope. If you check the name of the file it starts with CEDRIC. The alias of our MOTO G5 is CEDRIC, and the one for the Moto G5 Plus is POTTER.
The link is for MOTO G5 CEDRIC

Iv spoken about this before - depending on your country rooting doesn't void warranty
In the UK you can root your phone & not void the warranty as long as what ever you do is not the direct cause of the fault
Companies may play hard ball but that's the European law - they have to prove rooting the phone caused the fault & if it's a hardware fault unless you stupidity over clocked something or flashed wrong firmware etc they can't prove it
Anyway the only person who can decide to root is you so no point asking

And on a serious note - it would make no difference - you still have to battle the company - Just make sure you flash stock rom before sending your phone off for repair if possible

Restoring Moto G4 Plus (XT1644-US) so it can pass Safety Net test

Hi,
I had my Moto G4 (with the official Nougat 7.0 upgrade) rooted with Elemental using SuperSU, but it was then blocking some apps due Safty Net test fail.
Is there a way to set the firmware as something like "Brand New", I don't know, factory reset or some other possible configuration...?
I just don't care If I loose the data or root advantages, I just want to use those apps again, without having to buy a really brand new phone.
All ideas or tutorials are really apreciated.
Thanks

Use magisk for root, probably only this can pass safetynet for now
Also if some apps block from starting then under magisk hide just select that app and the app will work

Amazon Ad Moto G5 Nougat Xposed and Magisk question

I did some searching, however I was getting a lot of results not related EXACTLY to the my question and a lot outdated (since Xposed is just now officially working for Nougat). So I figured it would be best just to ask. I'm not asking for people to do searching for me or HOW to do these things, I can do that on my own I just want to make sure its all possible before I go and buy a new phone. My LG G3 is currently in my oven and I'm trying to fix it, its been a good phone to me but I don't think its going to last long.
I've been eyeing the Moto G5 plus. My question is it possible to systemless root with Magisk (I want to bypass SafteyNet) and also get Xposed working on this device? There are quite a few xposed apps I can't live without anymore.
Thank you.

You can get magisk and xposed working in the g5 plus, I was running both for awhile. However, I don't think it's possible to pass safetynet if you install Xposed framework since it modifies the system.

Yes, you can toggle it when you need to pass safetynet.

Just an FYI... NONE of these things are possible on an Amazon ad supported Moto G5+ because the bootloader is not unlockable... No root, no Xposed, no custom ROMs, nothing. You need the full retail version for that.

So I can run systemless root with Magisk and systemless xposed also with the non Amazon Moto G5 Plus then?

On the standard retail version? Of course... even if purchased from Amazon. The bootloader is unlockable, Magisk supports the device, and Xposed supports Nougat now. Just make sure to backup before flashing TWRP (boot it and make a complete backup since we don't have current software images).
But you will never be able to do it on the Amazon supported version.
