This Custom Recovery doesn't need a unlocked bootloader, but you must have:
- a rooted Xperia E1
- a computer
- a brain
How to Install:
1. Extract the downloaded zip
2. Enable ADB at Settings> Developer Options> USB debugging.
3. Connect your phone to PC using USB
4. Run install.bat
Download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6ZCRhr7_DQxUGZpbzlrb3V5SlU/view?usp=sharing
I have found this Recovery here: http://galaxyypocketfans.blogspot.de/2014/11/xperiae1all-variants-bootstrap-for.html
EDIT: The download link is dead and I don't have the files anymore.
Not Working
Tried it and it just gets stuck on "Waiting for device..." everything is correct, connected with debugging on and it does not do anything, do I have to be in adb? I also tried to extract it and it still does nothing.
Any Ideas? there isn't much to go off, plug in this click this aaaand done, I really want to flash this. Please help
Did you have ADB drivers installed?
This recovery works fine on my Xperia E1 with latest fw and locked bootloader (Orange PL)
Yes i do have adb drivers installed, I can confirm this because i am able to record with litecam android recorder, which needs adb to work. are there a specific set of drivers maybe? the drivers come with the pc companion app which I have installed
When you use the installer have you tried to start it as admin?

Okay tried this and i got... somewhere, now it says
"/system/bin/sh: su: not found" this means I don't have root, when I do. I have heaps of apps that have root permision and they work fine, I tried finding the /sh folder in the /system/bin but that wasn't there
EDIT: okay so I did have the /sh file in /system/bin I thought it was a folder not a file, but that still doesnt really help my problem

Hi everyone!
First of all thank you very much for your great work on this device!
Here's my problem with my SS E1 D2005 (bootloader not allowed to be unlocked) : I was in 20.1.a2.19 kk 4.4.2 and wanted root. So I downgraded the kernel to 20.1.a.0.47 and tried to get root access with towelroot but the apk said 'this phone isn't currently supported'.
Finally, I downgraded again to 20.0.a.1.21 jb 4.3 and towelroot rooted my device properly. I wanted to install recovery following this tut but it's only for 4.4.2 so not working (no access to recovery and boot loop).
I need root access on the latest 20.1.a.2.19 but I'm stuck in this 20.0.a.1.21 kernel because I can't find a jb recovery allowing me to do updates without losing root access...
Is there a solution for me or not? Can I build my own recovery based on JB sources for my device?
Thanking you in advance.

Instructions:
Note, you must have drivers properly installed and make sure your adb recognizes your phone with "fastboot devices"
1. Plug your device into PC and put it into fastboot mode!
2. If you haven't unlocked your bootloader then this will and it will entirely wipe your device!
3. After your bootloader is unlocked, phone will boot cf-autoroot, big red android icon will appear on your screen, wait for it to finish.
4. Reboot, done!
I will update link when chainfire makes official root for 5.0, this is cf-auto-root for 4.4.4, but it works fine
if you are already unlocked you can just run the following command in fastboot:
fastboot boot CF-Auto-Root-mako-occam-nexus4.img
just make sure you extract the img first and it should work.
Touch recovery 6.0.4.7 works fine
Thanks for sharing this info, i have installed cwm and root =),
does anybody knows if Xposed is compatible with lollipop?
the script will bypass the unlock part if you are already unlocked and just flash the img
noob here..
Ok so the updated CF auto root has patched kernel or just some patches to fix se linux and other patches to enable root..??
Im asking this because the CF auto root is based on KOT49H so will the kernel be replaced by patched kernel from KOT49H??

Chainfire updated the tool. Even if it says it's for version 4.4.4 he's updated it for 5.0. It does alter the kernel to set SELinux to permissible but don't worry about the alterations as it is made for 5.0.

This method did give me root, but broke my camera, had to flash back to factory to get it to work. Don't want to flash cf again in case I end up with a broken camera again.

Weird, my camera is still working here. Running the factory OTA. This did give me root which the SuperSU 2.19 zip didn't (but Super SU gave my root on CM12 fwiw). My bootloader was already unlocked and it didn't wipe anything for me.

Sorry guys if i missed this info...have anybody of you managed to make booting options work like in twrp app or quick boot.
I rooted successfully my N4 today, however booting options don't bring any effect when tapped.
EDIT: reboot command in terminal emulator works as it should though.
hi men, I try to use Linux for now, so what will I do in Terminal after unlock bootloader ?
Thanks you ^^

Chainfire updated the link with root for 5.0 :
http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/#fastboot
I updated auto root link.
Do I need to have a custom recovery beforehand?
I flashed the 4.4.4 image file you provided before and root works fine. Now that chainfire updated it to 5.0, should i flash the .img file of 5.0 again ?? I'm on stock 5.0 and latest TWRP.
Another thing, Before flashing any custom kernel should i flash the root image file again and then kernel.zip file or just kernel.zip file is enough ?? I can try this myself but i don't want to mess-up my new born Lollipop
Here is The Complete Update Package of The B609 Extracted from The Update.app Provided by Huawei . I Extracted It and Removed Set.Immutable.list and Added HRT Kernel for Full Root Capabilities and Made CWM Flashable Package .

How can I...
How can I know If set. immutable.list is gone or my device is fully rooted???? Since I use rootexplorer to find the file and still appears in /sbin/ folder. I follow all your instructions and files to flash B609 fully rooted
the file in /sbin doesn't have a .list extension - i think you can ignore it;
you can test for 100% by uninstalling some preinstalled g-app like G+, if it's back after a restart you're only 99%;

I have a problem me too ...
After B126 - root, B133 - root, I can't root B609. I can't install ADB & fastboot ("adb_fastboot_and_other_tools.zip" or "adb-setup-1.4.2.exe") into my PC. I read it all the instructions, tutorials, but without succes. If I try to root it without ADB, after I start Root Genius - loading Root Genius - restarting the phone at 38% and 64% - stop rooting (sad emoticon of Root Genius).
Is not the first time when I'm rooting the phone; I tried to downgrade it to B133, I put it the "dload" folder on the sd card, again without succes. I'll try to put B602 and downgrade after that at B133 ... I you have some advice, please tell me how to solve that ...

You definitely can get adb to run, there's really no other option if you want to make progress with root.

Thanks to you, now I have a rooted a1
Update: had some trouble with supersu but now everything is okay. I think even after uninstalling kingroot apps they prevent supersu from updating the binary. I solved that by flashing latest beta of supersu which is 2.49, so I suggest you to attach that instead of version 2.46. Also I suggest you to attach rashr instead of flashify
Can't rootcanvas a1 it says no strategy available

Huh? On what terms you're referring?
Like flashing / wiping etc?
Yeah, Philz took some more time than TWRP in the terms of flashing, wiping, etc....
BTW, TWRP is faster than Philz, I would like to suggest you TWRP.
Meantime, I ain't blaming /degrading Philz.. It's the stable recovery we ever got.
I was also a Philz user, but shifted to TWRP Since then...
You know, TWRP got new features like ota installer and etc, which makes you flashing OTA's on the go simple.
Use this TWRP - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24562946973632081

So?
Am I going to lose any downloaded apps?
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

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

Hi all,
I recently rooted my Z1 via Kingroot (kingroot.net) And replacing it with supersu via terminal emulator method. After opening app, it asks to update binary but always fails and asking to reboot and try again.
Hope someone could help.
Thanks

Yeah, even I don't know why it fails to update binaries. I'm thinking now to downgrade it to KK and flash it using PC

Try to root again with kingroot. After this install TWRP recovery from PC. Choose root permission with SuperSu (or something else) then on your phone will ask root permission from kingroot because SuperSu not work yet. After install recovery try to unistall Kingroot and install SuperSu package from recovery. You must turn on usb debugging when install recovery. Sorry for bad Englisch.
Yeah try that.. Just do it

Nope first flash dual recovery or twrp or whatever you like.
I had this problem too and this is how I solve it
1. Full unroot with supersu and reboot
2. Root again via kingroot v4.52 (mrw script won't work with kingroot v5)
3. Download the latest Supersu.apk from your pc (or phone browser)
4. Rename Supersu.apk to Superuser.apk
4. Replace the old superuser.apk in mrw folder with the new superuser.apk that you just downloaded
5. Run the script again to replace kingroot with supersu and update the binary.

I won't recommend flashing recovery unless your binaries are working properly.
