[ROOT][MM][NO UNLOCKING REQUIRED][ZE550KL] How to root ZE550KL on latest marshmallow?

If you tried rooting you ZE550KL then you must tried unlocking your device using official unlocker tool and you may faced force close. So here is how to root you asus ZE550KL without unlocking bootloader..
Prerequisite:
Download Latest TWRP from twrp.me Download
Download latest SuperSu Binary Download
Install Adb drivers and proper setup adb and fastboot. If you dont know how search on Google.
Lil Presence of mind
Lets start...
1- Connect your phone and type these command.
Code:
adb devices
and if it shows your device then issue this command after that
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
your device will reboot in bootloader.
2- Go to the directory where you placed downloaded twrp.img. Open command prompt here (shift + right click).
3- Flash the downloaded recovery
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
4- When it said "finished" and there is no error. Then type this and press volume - (down) before screen lit up.
Code:
fastboot reboot
5- If you did correctly then you will see the TWRP logo.
6- If not let device boot and when it finished boot type these commands
Code:
adb reboot recovery
7- When twrp boots first step is to make a full backup of all.
8- Then copy Update-SuperSu-*-*.zip to your sd card or internal memory via MTP (available when twrp boots n phone connected with pc). Flash it.
9- If twrp ask for su binary update say no. and reboot
10- Boom you're rooted!!

StockBoot.img(Lollipop)- Because if you messed up you need to flash this and then have to download stock lollipop firmware and then sideload firmware from stockrecovery to get you phone working

Yeah, I updated yesterday my ZE551KL to Android M and as I didn't like it (some minimal changes) I chose to install the CM13.
But the unlocker didn't work. Ocurred the problem described in this post.
I will try this method later and post my result.
Update: the root worked!
Question: can I flash the CM rom without backing up the system? Because I got no space available for it in my microSD. What are the risks?

LOL
This is not a place to fool people.
Method works. Apologies to OP

I'm pretty new at this. Doesn't flashing require an unlocked bootloader? Most of what I read seems to indicate so, but maybe not on some devices? Can someone clarify?

Flashing any non-stock .img or zip requires unlocked bootloader. This guide will never work. It seems this guy made two accounts, one for writing the guide and one for posting that it worked. The OP is just trying to fool people, or may be he himself got fooled by somebody and he posted that guide here. Mods, This thread should be deleted.
Edit : Sorry for updating too late. This method works on locked bootloader. The img files are provided by a genius shakalaka. They are patched to match Asus signed img files. Thanks for writing this useful thread

Also confirmed working on ZE-551KL on my phone and my wife's phone!
Thank You!
Please most definitely follow this step: 4- When it said "finished" and there is no error. Then type this and press volume - (down) before screen lit up.
Code:
fastboot reboot
Definitely do the "Press volume down button" right after you hit (Enter)
This was sticking point because I didn't read carefully....

Hi, just try your method it work. My is ZE550KL 6.0.1
Aloso work on build : 21.40.1220.1708 too.
flash recovery with twrp version twrp-3.0.2-3-Z00L.img

New user cannot post outside link pls add manual open my attachment.

Hello sir can u make avideo iam urgent for root please

No idea how this works
I have no idea how, but it worked! I (mostly) agree with sziraqui that flashing a recovery image with the device locked shouldn't work: I tried it before and the device would not load the bootloader after flashing, forcing me to re-flash the stock bootloader.
As mentioned by the OP, after flashing the marshmallow firmware (UL-Z00L-WW-21.40.1220.1708-user.zip) the unlock app crashed when unlocking. After that, I tried to flash TWRP and to my surprise it DID work! I also managed to flash supersu and test it with TitaniumBackup.
Since I would be skeptic myself, I'm attaching a picture that show's twrp and my terminal showing the that the bootloader reports as being locked.

I'm using marshmallow on my ZenFone 2 laser user_21.40.1220.1877 the latest stock firmware I'm not able to unlock it when I enter this command "fastboot boot ze550kltwrp.img in command prompt keeping my device into fastboot mode it shows error "you need to unlock your device to use this command"
How to unlock it plzz help

Is the TWRP not the test version, where need a password?
Thx a lot.

I have tested on dual-sim device (Taiwanese model) but single-sim devices, need volunteer to test it.
In this situation TWRP will request password, stock BOOT and boot into android once, in the meanwhile userdata will be encrypted.
BUT you won't do nothing if you flash TWRP, just format the userdata and install SuperSU, encryption doesn't matter anymore.

OK thx. So, you tried it with the DualSim version. That's great. But I don't know how to stock Boot and boot into Android? Can you help me with that? Thx a lot.

Do I have to root before I upgrade to the latest Android? 2.18.401.3
I have tried this and as soon as I install twrp the phone is soft bricked. It does not even start if I reinstall stock recovery.
Edit:
I tried again but this time I skipped this part:
0x03 Format Data
Wipe -> Format Data -> type yes to format data
Rooted and not soft bricked.

hello, when I wrote adb devices, it show for me 2 devices, one is htc and one is emulator, so how I can choose my device htc ?
please advice.

Now I use magisk.
I downgraded my phone to 2.17.401.1 (with RUU) and then updated via ota to 2.23.401.1.
Then installed TWRP. From there I installed all three files from the links in the magisk section. Booted into recovery and installed the two zip-files, this time I had to format data to be able to install.
When booted I installed magisk manager from my download directory and Phils superuser app from play store.
Checked root with Root checker to confirm.

Hi, when I try fastboot flash recovery part, I get cannot load 'twrp-3.0.2-0-e56ml.img' message. What should I do?

thank you so much, it worked greatly on my htc x9 dual sim.

Tell me few things
Have you unlock bootloader?
Have you successfully insatll TWRP Recovery?
Have you rooted successfully?
If you have done these 3 things then you should have to flash the Stock recovery, only then you can be able to update / flash the Nougat or other Stock firmwares.

Sigh... You already open up a thread about this, you should just continue on that one instead of opening up another one. Also if you dont want to brick or damage your phone. Please please please do some research before hand.
Firstly, you have not unlocked your bootloader, chances are, you probably haven enable OEM unlock and USB debugging and thirdly, if you looked through the guide section of this forum, you will see that everything you need to know is there.

You can also try this as well to make your fone alive
1) Download your fone firmware
2) Use huawei firmware extractor to extract there files
boot.img
recovery.img
system.img
3) Copy these files to your fastboot command folder
4) Now use these commands in the same pattern
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
Hope it will revive your fone.

I can not install TWRP?

I have a weird issue with TWRP that I cannot seem to resolve.
I have a 4GB Mix on the latest MIUI (China Stable). Bootloader is unlocked and I followed all the steps to got successfully TWRP loaded onto my device and i can come right in to it.
If i restart the device and use volume+ and power TWRP isn't there. Only the stock recovery from MIUI.
I tried the tutorial here on XDA and this one ''en.miui.com/thread-500625-1-1.html"
Is there someone who can help me please?
Many Thanks from the Nederlands!

I guess you jumped from Samsung, didn't you? Because i remember that you manually have to reboot into recovery at the first time(right after flashing the twrp via odin). So you need to do it from fastboot on Xiaomi(afaik). Just flash the twrp and enter this code in fastboot:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-blabla.img

Hi,
i have a package updated for Mix...
I made quick *.bat command to easily flash what i need...
Try OEM unlock tool (bat file) before trying to flash TWRP...
Be sure to have ADB device found in first line and be in fastboot mode !!

Sorry bored to take a picture from my device...

Thanks for your reply.
No, Power and Vol + i get MI-Recovery 3.0 (main menu) and if i use Power and vol - than i get fastboot mode.
So I now have two recovery's on my device. Is that possible? (TWRP and MI Recovery)

I think i have found the problem..
I've installed TWRP in fastboot mode. I've used ''fastboot boot twrpmrraines.img'' to get into TWRP the first time and i have tried to flash TWRP as recovery.
Now I get the following error message ''error opening: / sdcard'' So there seems to be an error with the sd card i think?

Nope Recovery and fastboot mode are different.... Recovery is used to backup, mount and flash ROM, Mod and various ZIP, IMG files...
Fastboot Mode is used to flash, push, IMG, APK, and sometimes ROM if you use Fastboot method...
Anyway, check in recovery if u can repair sdcard... in wipe feature, DO NOT WIPE, choose REPAIR / Advanced/etc......

Can not select sdcard if I click on ''Repair or Change File System'' If I go to Wipe-Advanced Wipe I must select: Dalvik, system, data, internal storage, cache or usb otg. There is no sdcard.

mount read only can be fixed by go to Mounting and check/uncheck read only system and recheck system...

Man, my point was your installed twrp may have got an issue. If it has issue, that's normal can't flash something anything. Use fastboot to flash another twrp as usual.

thanks, the first prerequisite is the stock boot.img,, i tried backing it up using miracle box but encountered the 'unstable port' problem, what other possible ways i could extract the boot.img from my phone ?

and btw, i remember asking a guy somewhere and he told me that magisk won't root my device, is that true considering it's a less-known manufacturer ?

I'd try the TWRP route instead. I found this thread after about 2 minutes of searching on XDA (search words "infinix note 4 x572"):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/infinix-one-support-root-twrp-firmware-t3695803
It's a really good idea to use the XDA search, because it often works quite good.
If you want to keep the stock recovery on your device, you can actually just boot the TWRP image instead of flashing it. In that case, the command used in that thread:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
should be changed to:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
If that doesn't work, you can actually make quite easily make a backup of your boot image in TWRP and then patch that file in the Manager, to see if that works better.
If things don't work out in TWRP, make sure to provide the recovery log.

It's very possible... It depends on how stock the Manufacturer has kept Android on your device, what chipset the device has, and so on...

thanks alot for the quick responses, i will try it and reply as fast as possible

okay, i downloaded the twrp recovery image for Note 4, flashed it using Fastboot method successfully,
the problem is when i try to boot into the twrp recovery mode, i tried holding the power menu+ vol.down buttons, it sends me into a black screen with "factory mode" upwards in yellow, no button is working.
i then tried
Code:
adb reboot recovery
the phone reboots and says "No command" under a red triangle.
i then tried to flash the twrp img using sp flash tools, and flashed it successfully but the same errors occur, i can't seem to be able to boot into recovery mode.

i looked up for a solution for the "no command" problem, here's one:
I faced the same problem with nexus 6p. It works when you root immediately after flashing the TWRP. Keep the superSU file in the storage. Get into bootloader. Flash TWRP via fastboot. Without restarting anything, just press volume up/down buttons while in the bootloader to select recovery. TWRP will open. Flash the SuperSU.zip. Then restart the system. Next time, if you open recovery, you won't get the "no command". If you don't flash SuperSU and you try to open recovery later, you will get the "No command".

what i understood is that i shouldn't reboot my device using "fastboot reboot" , he says i should get into recovery mode directly without restarting, idk how to do that since there are no option for it on the screen, i just have
Code:
=> FASTBOOT mode...
on the screen !

unfortunately i never used the sp flash tool before, so i tried flashing a stock rom but the device is now dead with "dram failed" error, i'll try fixing this first

It's tricky trying to help with a device you don't have...
Did you manage to boot to recovery? Usually you use the volume buttons to select the options and then the power button to confirm. You could also just use the fastboot boot option command I wrote earlier. It'll boot straight into TWRP.
There are a few threads for your device around, so if you need help specific to your device, that's the place to go...

everything is fine now,, fixed the device by flashing a rom named (X572-H5312CE-O-180203V55) then used magisk app to patch the included boot.img, flashed the patched boot.img using sp flash tool,, and everything is working fine now,,,
thanks alot

the twrp from the post you provided is for an older firmware, this is why i couldn't get into recovery after i flashed the provided twrp img,, there is no available twrp for the oreo version of the firmware, but i requested one from twrp builder project,, thanks alot, i've learnt alot in the last 24 hours
