I just recently upgraded my phone to the new zenfone AR through verizon. Previously i had a rooted HTC one m9 which gave me some trouble with rooting but some people on here ended up helping me get it very easily therefore i was wondering if anyone has found a way to gain root access to the verizon modle of the zenfone AR. i have gotten it into recovery mode but it wont let me flash anything from there. any information that could help would be greatly appricated. thanks in advance

There is bootloader unlock app on asus oficial site (but search for model ZS571KL) but do not know anything about root.
You try and tell us
Unfortantly I have tried the bootloader unlock tool on the Asus website, but because I have the zenfone AR through Verizon it does not work. Any ideas on how I may go about making that work on the Verizon version? Also I have not found a firmware for the Verizon one anywhere I've tried extracting it from my phone when I got the update to no avail. If anyone has any ideas on how to get any of these things working it would be greatly appreciated because then I can start working on a twrp for it as well.
I think you're out of luck, mate.
Root is easy here with the non-Verizon using Magisk to patch the boot image. But, bootloader.
I'll try and see if I can find that Verizon update online.
Here's a wild idea but have you tried intercepting the update instead of extracting it (judging how it would probably be put into /data). i.e. MitM.
It'll be nice to have the Verizon users free to get some development on this phone.
Good luck. Cheers.

connect phone, choose USB connection type - System Update/Repair
install software upgrade assistant
Run it and choose repair - it will download current version of firnware
or
Run it and choose update - it will download update, if available
download folder will be C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\VerizonSUAAsus\firmware\ASUS_A002A
But file in a RAW format, not sure how conver to some kind of flashable or how to flash???

maybe you need update to newer firmware
look here, https://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-186959-1-1.html
I actually had not thought of doing a mitm to intercept it next time an update comes out I can try that. I'm going to try the software assistant one later today when I get home and see if I can for an update or something. Thank you guys very much for the ideas I'll let you know if I get anything.

Hey, today afternoon was so boring therefore I'm wondering around threads and then i found your update here.
You can try it out if your problem isn't solved yet. I think it'll help because it's the official nova 7.0 nougat version for Europe. Do reply so that others can benefit from your experience.

Your linking a old version of the Nougat update for the Nova variant CAN-L01C432 and the CAN-L11C432 which if your not careful could damage your phone if you don't have that version of the Nova. There is the CAN-L01C432/CAN-L11C432 variants, the MLA-L03C654 variant, the CAN-L01C02 variant and a couple of others I believe.

my bad i didn't know that there are these many variants.. Thank you for notifying
Hi everyone, my first post here.
Looks like im in the same situation.
I have Nova Plus from Bell/Virgin Canada. MLA-L03. Purchased it on Caraigslist and after 2 month they blacklisted my Imei. I decided to root the phone and maybe change imei as the phone was useless anyways. So i installed TWRP and rooted it successfuly .
The problem was that i could never get diagnostic port open for Qualcomm QPST program. So i upgraded to Nougar 7.0 ( NRD90M) it got UNrooted and i wanted tio install a newer version of TWRP, i guess i got a wrong version. Now its properly screwed up. I have FRP Lock in fasboot, it makes fastboot useless as i cant adb flash boot, or flash recovery. I can boot back to OS but OEM Unlocking is off and grayed out and FRP Lock blocks all communication, so ADB or Fastboot commands dont get through. i get "waiting for device" crap in command line. SD card upgrade doesn't work either. I dont know why and eRecovery wants to download update but fails all the time. I dont know how to get rid of FPR lock. If i find anything i will post here.
Hello all,
this is my first post on XDA so I hope I am doing everything according to the rules. If I do something wrong, apologies and I will do better next time.
So, I recently purchased a Zenfone 3 MAX in the US in a hurry out of necessity. So I was quite annoyed to find out that ASUS has hidden the ability to format the SD card as internal memory. However I found out there is a way to un-hide the feature via adb. But the procedure I found is tested to work with Marshmallow, and I had already updated the phone to Nougat. Indeed, the adb command has had no effect on my phone.
So, now I am trying to downgrade back to Marshmallow. I am definitely a newbie to this world, but I have been able to find this (https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3/help/how-to-downgrade-zenfone-3-nougat-to-t3573241) thread, which contains a link to a downgrading procedure (https://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-164531-1-3.html). However, it is not for ZC520TL but for ZE520KL.
I was hoping I could use the same procedure for my phone, if I find the right firmware, but I am not sure I have been looking in the right places. The ASUS website has various firmware versions for the US and I assume the oldest one is Marshmallow (Version US-13.1.4.43), but the procedure above requires two different firmware files and I do not know enough to understand what is the difference and where I can find them.
Anyone can shed some light on this for me?
Thank you

Ask for it. A user in Canada obtained the downgrade. Please write in this thread and share it.

Thanks for your reply.
I have looked at the thread you linked, but I could not see any reference to someone successfully getting their phone downgraded to M by Asus. If anything some people in there stress how unhelpful is Asus with the whole thing. So I am not any closer to the solution than I was before.

Thanks for the link. I have looked around and found a firmware for the ZC520TL. However I am not sure it is the right one for me because it is my understanding that I need a firmware whose name starts with UL, rather than WW. I am not sure what would happen if I used firmware of a different zone. Moreover, I have been able to recover the right firmware from the ASUS website. What I need is the "RAW firmware" as defined in the procedure I have linked in my original post. But I don't know how that is different from the firmware. As I said, I am very new to this world.

WW stands for global firmware, however I am not sure what UL is for. You can contact the person in that website asking for your firmware. They will help.
Hello
I write because following an update yesterday htc u ultra my companion he does not want to start it is blocked on htc and becomes very hot!
I tried several things seen on xda but there I am completely blocked.
I have access to different things, booloader, recoverry, etc ... but nothing changes I did a factory reset but the problem does not evolve
I tried to flash it with a ROM ruu but he told me that it is not the good CID. taken here https://forum.xda-developers.com/u-...stock-htc-ultra-dual-sim-1-64-400-10-t3758077
after i have an idea but i do not know if this is possible i have access to someone who has the same phone bought at the same place at the same time is it possible to extract the RUU rom to reinject it into that of my wife ???
I am hopeless we leave in 8 days and my wife finds herself without phone can you m help me to find the good RUU or extract that of my friend to reinject it?
the model is this one https://www.eglobalcentral.fr/htc-u-ultra-64go-4g-dual-sim-desimlocke-blanc-fr.html
apparently it's a Taiwanese model double sim
thanks for all the help !!
PS it was all original not rooted nor bootloaded unlocked just the update ota do
It would be better if you post the threads links properly, yours got truncated.
If you have, as you claim, the Taiwanese Dual SIM model you should be able to follow the downgrade procedure from Oreo to Nougat. I did it multiple times.
You cannot extract RUU. It is specially prepared package that performs several upgrade operations separately. You can only make dump of already installed system but for that you do need an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery (TWRP) on both devices.

sorry i corrected the links.
on the other hand I can do this procedure despite that I have access only to bootloader and recovery?
I'm not an expert I thought I can just flash with a RUU but I can not find one

It seems to me you have got yourself a wrong RUU. The ones from the post are for India, not Taiwan.
Surely I can not get my hands on a Taiwanese RUU!

We don't have RUU 8.0. Try boot to download mode and flash TWRP recovery. Downgrade to Nougat (7.0).
good day everyone,
Please forgive me for asking this about the VNS-L23. I know there are tons on similar issues on the forum, I've been reading but non specific to my model. I also know that some of the solutions may work on the VNS-L23 variant as well but, I'm swamped and a bit confused. Can someone please assist in helping me restore the VNS-L23 back to stock OR the latest OS/firmware that is available?
I tried flashing a Nougat firmware, flash was successful but, when phone rebooted it would not go past the Huawei eRecovery, no matter what i try.
I tried flashing other VNS-L23 firmwares via 3 button method...no success
I tried 'Download latest version and recovery'...no success
I am able to get into Fastboot mode.
I tried to flash TWRP...i was unsuccessful (ADB did recognize device).....on FASTBOOT screen i see Phone: Locked FRP: unlocked...failed...command not allowed (i think)
I tried to use DC unlock-er to make some headway, of course i have to make a purchase costing 15 pounds. I always support these things but, i do not want to purchase and it still does not work.
According to DC unocker's detection:
Firmware: VNS-L23C605B120
FB LockState: Locked
USER LockState: Locked
You guys are awesome here and i know I'll get back my device to work....Please, I just bought it, not even 2 days and i cant even use it now because of this issue.
Many thanks in advance....Ronald
Is this the 2016 or 2017 model?
2016

Guys...I tried and tried and tried. Was most frustrating so I resorted to someone from Pakistan with software and programs to bring my P9 lite back to life. If you guys want I can put you on to the person. Or, if we can sort it out here then better because, of course it comes with a small fee to restore my device back to normal but I was desperate.

Hi dude, ok, if you tell device version and exact stock firmware
a little possibility to find some rollback package still exist.
But what are exactly your issue ?
Maybe you don't need rollback files...
Can you boot to system ?

My version is vns-L23C212B336
I have two problems:
1. When I'm on horizontal (for example whatching a vodeo in YouTube, or playing in a game) the screen rotates itself, and the comeback, even when the autorotate is off.
2. When I'm going to type something the keyboard hides itself and I have to open it again.
And that's all, I hope you can help me.

Well, looking onto the UNIFIED HELP THREAD, in post #6
there is "UNBRICKING AND DOWNGRADING FROM EMUI 5" section.
Here are some rollback packages but not for L23...
You need that package and need the full ota L23C212B130 firmware
from which extract update.app.
I don't know how to grab those files. I've searched with
Firmware Finder but B130 full ota isn't there...
So, go to next step...

B336 seems to be the latest firmware and no update are available.
If you want play a bit with your device you should consider
a rebrand but it is a bit difficult to find correct L23oeminfo file and firmware.
Maybe it can be converted to L21 or L31 version but never tried, i won't risk..
Some payed services should exist to assist you...
That's all dude, feel free to ask.

Tell me if you find a way to flash it! Been looking for a while... Sorry for the spaces I cant put it in otherwise because I don't have 10 posts blah.
BlazingFlame,
Yes I know how to flash it, but the one you provide is version 10p, the last one published, which has a bunch of security features to disallow hacking it to remove the Google FRP lock.
I've tried with 10e and 10i but while I can go as far as accessing a chrome browser, it still doesn't allow to launch the google app from which you can reach the phone settings.
So far, having spent countless hours on it, I'm still unable to go around the stupid Google FRP lock.
Thus I'm looking for an even older firmware, version 10d or before, from 2015.
