Magisk is global root method. You need boot.img from your installed firmware.zip and apk of the magisk.
There are a lot of guides in web. Find one like I described.

Try to follow normal Zenfone 5 tutorial magisk tutorial. It should work. Don't do anything else from Zenfone 5 tutorials. Others are device specific.

Aight, when i get home tonight i'll try it. My only fear is that i soft brick or hard brick it and can't install the stock firmware later

Does the TWRP file you used really intended for Zenfone 5Q?

Hey man, i was trying with the Z5 one so nope! But i searched for a Z5Q one on the internet and got a working one.
I managed to root it quite easily, unfortunately it seems like i rooted for nothing since what i initially wanted to do was enable the Camera2API, but nothing seems to activate it heh... Editing build.prop does nothing, if i try to install zip files to enable it through TWRP, it always fails because it can't mount /data, etc etc
But hey, it's rooted, working fine and if i find something useful to do with root on the Z5Q, i'll do it haha

It is still not possible, first you need to unlock the bootloader and for this we have to wait for the unlock app ... if they will release it.
Sent from my ASUS_Z01BD using XDA Labs
When it will be possible to unlock bootloader for zenfone 3 laser zc551kl..
Why do you need to unlock the bootloader just for rooting? The default bootloader allows flashing a zip and adb access -- the issue is that I cannot find image files with rooted /system/bin/su - any help?
I was trying all methods to Root my ASUS ZENFONE 3 LASER ZC551KL burt all methods failed.
If anyone from Master Developer here know to root that, Please tell me...
Thanks Before For Everyone Who Read This Question
I found a tool called SRS Root that you could try. I don't know if it works though because I have no intention to root my phone.

I tried that tool aswell, it says "Rooting completed" but the device isn't rooted at all.
Got this message aswell
Code:
Getting OffSets.. : error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported. (False)
Anyway wanted to root only to bypass dun check from vodafone, apparently didn't need to have root permissions.

Is anyone here compiling TWRP recovery for this phone? As I understand it, TRWP is open source and up to the individual to instigate. I have never compiled before. Had a few days of coding classes for web design... But I am willing to do the work if I can. I did not buy this phone for the ZenUI... it has much potential, yes. Anyone here able to give me tips on how to start this process? I want to do the work, just dont know how.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943625
Good luck dude, and don't stress about bricking your phone, just backup your recovery partition beforehand and you can always flash it through fastboot mode.
@biaeuaer
Mate, using the guide given in TWRP site, please compile a Twrp for this device. i am depending on you. Thank you.

Alright, great to see there is demand. Thanks for the nods guys. I will be working on compiling TRWP for OmniROM during the mornings PST, until noon. Right now work means researching what it is I am actually doing, L! So far reading up on the AOSP site and OmniROM wiki and will follow the TWRP guide posted here on XDA. I will update here in a week with my progress. If I think I can do it, I will start a thread on XDA to follow and a GIT repo.
I think all I will really need is the device information to plug in to an existing tree. So thats the angle Im taking, if theres any tips please pass em on!
Thanks again!

Thanks mate, well done.
Mate, wish you success
@ biaeuaer
Mate, any update on TWRP?
Crikey! This is not for the faint of brain. So, I hope you all realize how noob I am. This is going to take me some time. I cannot just pipe info into a file, here. I need to understand what the file is, what I am piping - because this device is obscure, no one has made this easy yet. I only managed about 5 hrs of research time this past week. But focused I was and now realise that in ordrr to do this I have to start a build environment and work with aosp, to know what I am doing. Step by step.
Sorry its going to take a while! Hopefully will get a good hard day in this week on top of my mornings.
What I am endevouring to understand:
- what is a flag? how to I make on?
- what is a make file?
- how to get device tree out of firmware file
- what exactly I do after porting and flagging and making
- how to do this right - so that it works with omnirom I hope to compile as well.
Mate,
Take your time.
I just got my Mi A1 yesterday from a reseller here in the Philippines. I had my bootloader unlock so I am thinking about rooting or installing twrp for my device? Any inputs will be appreciated.

Pixel devices are also having the same issue...
A/B partitions are the culprit..
Magisk dev is working on getting it supported officially...
(He knows how to do it)
Just need some patience.
We might get system less root access after that...

Sounds like a music in my ears. So, were they able to make it work for pixel? Or still not yet?
Unofficially for pixel...
Someone made it working for pixel and then upload the changes to github...
Now magisk dev is working to include those changes and it will work with official app also...
We can't use that zip made for pixel as it needs to be flashed rtnw...

I have TWRP, custom rom, custom kernel and root, the problem ravinder0003 has is only for him, not everyone has that problem if you need help I can help you rooting your phone
There should be penalties for resurrecting old threads (1 yr ago!) with nonsense replies. The TWRP problem is partially solved and there should be no issue with installing TWRP on this device.
While looking around and trying to compile TWRP and getting errors doing so, I have finall come accross a solution as to how to get GSI roms to boot, it seems we needed special flash instructions and im eve gonna test some other things later. But without further do, here are the instructions!
Step 1: Go here and read instructions CAREFULLY! "https://www.xda-developers.com/flash-generic-system-image-project-treble-device/"
Step 2: We need special flash instructions so flash this command. "fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img" (Special flashing instructions here https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...18&postcount=2)
Step 3: if it doesnt work, try again. I am currently booting into Phh-Treble.
Step 4: Rejoice as we can now get away from stock!
Credits where credit is due !
UPDATE: Okay so, pretty sure dm-verify is making it so it doesnt fully boot :/ still working on it.

Will do, rooting is fairly easy. is the att version? or global. i have the att version but flashed the global version stock rom.
I believe its the global version. I don't have att network.

what you want to do is downlaod the stock rom, unzup it to desktop. copy your boot.img to your phone. download magisk manager from the xda thread. install the manager and then patch the boot.img. reboot the phone and you'll see it in your downlads. copy that to your stock rom folder (you'll need adb and fastboot files). run the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and youre rooted. but at this current time root is kinda pointless.
also... be sure to check out the root guide first. forgot you need to unlock bootloader and critical.

"but at this current time root is kinda pointless."
Also your right about this. There's currently no effective use for it right now. But there will soon be more in the future for the phone i believe. I think more people are starting to communicate and experiment with the RP2

I'm not sure you should be doing this at all with your phone. You've asked the same thing in several threads and have been pointed to the instructions on multiple occasions. No one can do this for you and if you can't follow the instructions then don't do it. God help us if you **** it up and you're asking everyone how to recover your phone (this will be much harder to explain).

If you're on 10.0.3 then use one boot image from the thread you were commenting on yesterday. If you're now on 10.0.4 as an update came out today you will have to wait for someone to patch the boot image for that version.
