I am a novice at this type of thing but can follow and understand direction pretty well, i have used TWRP years ago on a nexus 5X and installed ROMS on it but it has been a long time.
My Brother in law has an Asus X008DC (ZenFone 3 Max ZC520TL according to the Asus site) and id like to get rid of all the asus bloatware crap thats on it.
Can i just root it ...(how /what is the easiest method ) and uninstall what isnt wanted or needed, or should it be reflashed with a stock ROM of any sort.
Ive discovered there seem to be several varients of this phone but i dont know how to identify that difference>
heres the about phone screenshot if that is of any help in identifying the device: https://i.imgur.com/DDu6SAT.gifv
Ultimately a ROM as close to stock Android would be awesome.
Thank for any guidence

Hello there!
I have a Galaxy Note 3 i9005. I used to have it rooted (towelroot) but I accidentally updated the phone to version 4.4.2 which sadly removed my root. I've had my phone for about a year, and I feel it's time to spice things up with a new rom, but I find myself lost in this whole flashing jungle.
So, my questions are, is it possible for me to safely root & flash my phone? If so, could anyone point me in the right direction? I've tried searching a bunch but it's very hard to find in-depth guides explaining the process in detail. I don't even know if such a guide exists for the Note 3.
I live in Sweden so I don't think the phone has a locked bootloader if that affects anything.
Please help me.

I've rooted several new note 3 with this method..http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/root-root-xxufnf4-stock-firmware-knox-t2840150
I managed to root it with that method! Knox is 0x0, thanks for the pointer man
Now, I'd like to know how to flash a custom rom. I've been looking a lot at different custom roms, however I can't seem to decide which one I want. Besides, I don't even know if I'm able to flash my phone since I'm running Android 4.4.2. All guides takes for granted that you have some knowledge with flashing, which I don't.

I have the same phone and need the same information.
Actually, I have been searching for this information for several months and have come up empty. I am wondering if there is a problem with this specific phone/model.
hello, i've briked my asus zenfone 3 max a while ago, and i'm still not able to find a firmware for version ZC520TL (eu version with 3gb of ram)
as i can't turn on my phone, i can't move the rom file into storage, that's why i'd need a version for sp flash tool
i've tried to flash most of the roms i've found over there ( http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=770294&st=0) but they don't seem to work with my phone ... or battery was not charging properly after the 1st boot, or flashing did not work at all
does someone know where to find a wrking rom or if there are already custom roms for my znfone 3 max out there?
Here you got my friend, i hope it'll be use

Greetings Fellow Asus Zenfone 3 On XDA!
Previously i managed to root my Zenfone 3 Max ZC520TL (NRD90M.WW_Phone-14.10.1710.76-20171020) by following this guide. Successfully rooted my device with Magisk. Now it was D-Day plus 2 for searching TWRP recovery for my device. Sadly, I can't find anything on the web regarding on this. For TWRP to work need to have an unlocked bootloader. So i tried the official ASUS unlocked bootloader tool. Found that some said that its a fluke & doesn't work at all. But i found that my bootloader is unlocked using fastboot command to check the status (Refer attachment). Any Dev that can compile TWRP for Zenfone 3 Max ZC520TL MT6737M? I'm willing to corporate for any files needed in the process. Thank You.

Hi forum!
I started this post because I couldn't find info about the Asus Zenfone V Live (V500KL).
I used this phone for a day and the wifi was fine, I did a factory reset because I was going to gift it to someone and the wifi didn't work anymore. Same thing happended with 3 devices (same model).
I tried using the software upgrade assistant from Asus and verizon, it downloaded the software and re installed it apparently but it didn't work.
Do you know if this can be fixed or if I can install a custom rom on this one? If installing a custom rom is possible, can I use these from the Zenfone 5 ?
Thanks a lot.

Hey. I'm in the same situation, too, but I have a Zenfone V (V520kl). I happened to pass by these links to take you to AutoRoot Tools to install TWRP and one of the following custom ROMs to your phone (the following are also YouTube Links):
Mod edit. Links removed. Youtube deleted the account.
I tried the AutoRoot .apk in the comments, but it told me to download an app and do something in it to move on. I did exactly that, but it wouldn't let me. Then I went to these websites, but these download websites want you answer a stupid survey for a reward to move on. And there's no other way to download a ROM to these phones. Also, I don't know about ROMs for the Zenfone V (V500KL), but there apparently are some for the V520KL. But you can find out if there are some for yours with AutoRoot Tools. You think you can answer one of these questions to download AutoRoot Tools for Windows? If so, upload the Windows zip you receive here so I can get a custom ROM too? Thanks, man. Really appreciate it.
