I am planning to root my ZE551ML. I have .194 firmware.
Will it work fine to root using method 3 with my current firmware? And I can update OTA if ever there's an update right?
Another thing, will I be forced to reset my phone or wipe data? I hope not coz most of my accounts like steam, etc. are already linked.
Thanks for the replies. I appreciate all input as I am still learning.
I hope to receive any response..
If you don't want to unlock your bootloader or reset/wipe your phone's data(like me) then use method 2 from this link:

Guys, I want to know whether the Asus official bootunlocker tool can be used in the MM .111 beta build.
Also, can I move to cm 13 directly from MM beta build after unlocking bootloader??....or should I downgrade to lollipop to do so....??

There's no official asus bootloader unlocking tool for any MM rom coz there's no official MM rom for zf2. So you should to downgrade to official LP
and then you should unlock boorloader and then you can install whatever you want.
Hi all,
Recently, I go through this forum and found there are many custom roms ready for this Le Pro3 phone. After consider the hardware specification and cost, finally I procured Le Pro3 (x720) phone.
However, when I received this phone, I found the latest EUI already installed (EUI 5.9.026s). When I go through the instructions provided by XDA forum, I found there almost no way to unlock the bootloader of this phone if this came with EUI 5.9.026s.
Can someone tell me if there is a way to unlock this bootloader if this phone is came with EUI 5.9.026s? If not, can I still can refresh my phone with some custom roms (like Omni rom on lineage OS?)
Thanks
I have no trouble with my x720, first time flashed customs on 20s, but few days ago returned from stock 26s to custom. Can't you unlock your phone?
No luck on unlock.
I believe you already installed TWRP before upgrade to 26s, so you can falsh back to previous version.
Have you official ROM and followed the unlock guide?
I follow the unlock Guide but no luck. I go through few discussion in XDA forum, seems some major changes in OS permission settings on 26s rom
Maybe flash 23s, wipe then try?
I cannot try it, but maybe it's possible to fool the update system. By modifying the update script of a 23s OTA file you can bypass the check for rom and modem version, then the system will execute a "downgrade" from 26s to 23s. This theorically, I can't try if it really works but the right path can be this! Cheers!

I did downgrades from 20s to 18s and from 23s to 20s... Seems buggy, but after wipes worked perfectly.
@marik1
How did you do the downgrade? Is the way you downgraded possible with a locked bootloader? Thank you.
(I am considering buying a Le Pro 3, but I will probably wait until I know that unlocking the bootloader is possible with the new EUI installed.)
For me it's simply flashing file with ROM called "update.zip" and placed into main folder trough LeEco's recovery. Like making update, but with different file.
I tested qfil by following the thread here to flash the previous rom but no luck, when I use qfil, I am quite sure the phone is connected ( I can see the com port), the process started(rom are unzipping), but when the system try to write on the disk, the process failed. I wonder if there are any permission/encryption settings applied on the partition of 26s rom, and not sure if I can downgrade due to partition permission.
BTW, where can I download 23s rom? and how to modify the script to prevent version check? thanks

Where to download this file? and the file should place on main folder but not root folder, right?
Just flash it, without changing version checking. You can take it from LeEco website;

You can also have trouble with connect, so you have to remove :110 from link and you gain;

the problems have been fixed.
Actually, I follow the unlock guide here, the problems was on this bootloader unlock guide but not on the phone itself.
@andylcm
Could you please explain what you did differently from the guide?
Is this the guide you are referring to? https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/leeco-le-pro-3-root-t3476560
I know that device info command shold be device-info
So recently huawei released android oreo on the p10 lite and i want to get the ota update but i rooted my phone so i searched online how to install ota updates on a rooted phone and i clicked on the first guide available in there it said that i could use flashfire to install ota updates and sure i installed flashfire and opened in and the first thing i see is a warning along these lines : Warning for huawei devices it is really easy to hard brick huawei devices by installing custom roms and frimwares and it is strongly advised against unless you consult with an expert. I do understand this is an ota update and is not a custom rom or firmware but i am still very worried as i dont have cash to get a new phone if i hard brick this one. Thanks in advance!
Sorry for posting this in q and a it says my post count is too low to post in roms and kernels section.
You can't flash the firmware in flashfire or you will brick your device.
Try upgrade your device using this method.

I've never seen this method shouldn't i just flash the original recovery through fastboot and perform the ota update and then re-root my phone?
So I installed Oreo soak test on Moto G5 plus which was shared by link over stock Nougat build with august security patch.But i want to go back to nougat with august security patch from this soak test build...How can i do that without bricking and losing imei etc.I have not rooted or unlocked bootlader ever...and yes i read some threads but none of them are matching my current situation ,so please guide me through proper process .
Well I'm in the same situation. And I was having wifi issues. Bt I managed to fix it. From what I've read so far you cannot downgrade the bootloader. So you can flash using fastboot bt leave out the gpt and bootloader commands. I'm not sure if this will let you download OTAs. I haven't tried it out yet. Or if u manage to get the C092 bootloader unlocked ( some people managed) then you install TWRP and flash a stock nougat zip. Or you will have to wait for someone to capture the actual 85-16 OTA , make a zip of it and then update. There was a guide for flashing, it was for g4 series to downgrade from N to MM, the commands should be the same. Hope this helps.
Can anyone share official oreo update zip?Not talking about soak test one.
Hi all, new user here
I'd like to install for the very first time a custom ROM on my phone, a Zenfone Max Pro M1 (ZB602KL).
LOS for microG seems what I need, but before starting I spent some time reading the official LOS wiki and the XDA forum, and now I'm a bit confused...
The LOS wiki (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/X00TD/install) says I have to use the official ASUS tool to unlock the bootloader, but a post on the XDA forum says "If you have unlocked bootloader officially then even after relocking bootloader the OTA functionality does not work. Asus server blacklist your phone serial number and imei so you can't receive any OTA".
So perhaps I should use TWRP? There's no official version but I found this one, can I use it on my phone? https://forum.xda-developers.com/as...ent/recovery-unofficial-twrp-3-2-3-0-t3888110
Also I assume instructions for X00TD are "compatible" with my ZB602KL, is that correct?
Sorry for the long post and thanks for your help!
You're right, unofficial unlock involves using the fastboot commands script and OTA still works that way. Search and try different recovery versions to see if they fit your need.
Thanks, I'll try installing with TWRP then.
