Hi guys
I'm desperate for some help here as I have an Asus memo pad 7 which I have in the past had rooted. After being unaware of what upgrading to next firmware does to your root permissions I went ahead and got android 5 lollipop. NOW.....I know this is a topic that has been pressed on quite a bit, but my problem or my pad just seems to be the stubborn one. I have no access to a computer so I don't know if that will stop me.
Common problems I get are
On all rooting apps it gets to 90 percent completion and then stops giving me an error code.
Or tells me there is no possible strategy.
That's pretty much it guys so yeh please help as I love a rooted pad : /
Hey i had just posted a thread on how i needed help updating my Asus memo pad 7 to lollipop. Could you go to the thread and post how you did it. Thanks in advance. http://forum.xda-developers.com/memo-pad-7/help/asus-memo-pad-7-me176cx-updating-to-t3428201

I was looking and couldn't find any information if CM12 will be supported for the TF701. Does any of the devs who working on CM11 indicated that they would be working on CM12?
Thanks
Yes, pershoot said he'd be working on it.
Awesome, thanks for the quick reply!
Not a lot of developers on the Transformer TF701t unfortunately. Sad that my old acer Tegra 2 tablet I sold has more being developed for it!
Hopefully we may get a 5.0 upgrade from Acer as I do actually like the stock version. Love the speed and look of Lollipop on my G3 and hope to have it on the tab too.

I feel similar about this also. Hopefully someone can post a very detailed thread on how exactly to develop for this tablet. I am a beginner computer science major and want to try developing during the break, but can't afford to brick this thing since this is my school/work tablet. If anyone could post a thread like that, I could try to put some work into it.

I have the original EEE Pad (TF101) which has great developer support, the KatKiss ROMs is amazing. I can't believe hos smooth and fast KatKiss 4.4.4 is running on that old hardware! The stock ROMs on TF101 was really slow and buggy, and ASUS left it with 4.0.3 when it was just over a year old. The TF101 would be worth nothing today (soon 3 years old) if it wasn't for the great developer community support. With the KatKiss 4.4.4 the TF101 is even better then my TF701 in some aspects. And last month the TF101 even got KatKiss 5.0 which is already on it's 12th release and Android 5.0.1!
If there is no offical Lollipop udate from ASUS, I guess the developer support for TF701 will be even smaller.
I don't think the developer support will grow for this tab anyways.
At least if we can get 5.0 on it I will be satisfied. Shame that such a good tab did not get the attention it deserved. Lack of marketing by Asus and the keyboard hinge problem may have kept it down. Would love to get my hands on a keyboard dock for it but it's still expensive!
Bump!! Any update on this one?
I will probably just go with a Nexus tablet next time since there has been no mention from Asus on continued development. Tried to submit a case to Asus about the battery drain (fixed by removing the nvidia drm plugins). And asked about plans for lollipop update. Received error code so not sure uf they received it yet.
Maybe if severalpeople this we will get some answer.

Just found this: (Deleted)
Anyone want to try it? Please post results if you do
I'll pass.
Wouldn't trust anybody who recommends to use ROM manager on a Transformer tablet....
In addition he says he wrote the tutorial on XDA.
Where?
I don't see a L rom for the TF701 anywhere in the device forum.
If he posted it somewhere else - why not here?
If there is no tutorial - why is he lying?
Yeah, that website spells sketchy all over it to me. Haha. I'm going to pass on Trying to install it unless I see an xda-developers thread on it. Pershoot (cm developer) said in his thread that he is close to done on creating the cm lollipop version but had some unrelated things going on that is taking up a lot of his time lately. He said he was close to finishing it, and will probably upload it soon

Yes. Ever heard of a rom coming in several parts??
Wonder what you would be downloading there. @johnciaccio I would take that link down if I were you....
Also notice the mobile data icon in the status bar of these "screenshots".
It's a big fat lie. We'll get it, but not yet.
Just briefly glanced at it before. Looks like the page was actually written by someone and not a bot. Surprised anyone would go to that extent to to get some clicks.
I have a feeling we won't see a LL release at all on this tab. But maybe we will get lucky and Asus will push a update in 6 months.
There appears to be a lot of l roms coming out for other devixes, surely we must be close to a usable daily driver for this device?
CM12 Unofficial release for tf701t
Hello, there is a unofficial version of CM12 for tf701t here.
http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=3671
It is working great.
I found a thread related to it on XDA.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf701/orig-development/cyanogenmod-12-lollipop-pre-nightly-t3003092
There isn't much talk here about the zenfone 2 laser and everything all info I can find on XDA and other websites about routing the ZF2L seem to be registered to the non US version or discuss only the non laser version.
XDA forum has post for joining the WhatsApp group, but I'm not seeing the point of joining a phone app for a phone that I am going to be rebooting while looking to troubleshoot things with the phone. Maybe they have a solution, and if so post it up here as well as a link.
Has anyone made any headway with rooting this device? Let's get a single thread to focus efforts on getting a workable root for the ZE551kl US version of the Zenfone 2 laser.
It sure would be nice to rid this device of all that bloatware.
I'll be checking back here for good news I hope soon.
Same here. Placing my order soon, and this is the ZF2L model that I want.
I've been poking around for information about the ze551kl also. Mine came yesterday. So far it doesn't seem like anyone is working on root for it yet, but that's probably due to the fact that not very many people own one. The good news is it has been selling out on Amazon and Newegg, so hopefully someone will be able to figure it out soon.
From everything I've gathered so far, the process to root it should be nearly identical to the ze550kl since the hardware is so similar. I imagine that once someone who knows what they're doing looks at it, they'll be able to figure it very easily.
Also, Asus will likely release a bootloader unlocking tool at some point in the coming months. The unlocker for the ze551ml was released sometime around 6 months after the phone came out.

Asus will only release the bootloader unlock when someone from xda discovers it.
Selling out doesn't mean more ownership. Chances are they are only selling a few units to test the waters.

Root Zenfone 2 laser ZE551KL
Agreed.

Picked one up yesterday for my pop's. I, too, am hoping that a root may be possible in the near future. I don't like the bloatware and the OS at all. Wish I can slap CM on it.
Subscribed to thread. I hope something turns up eventually. Phone seems very fluid but it comes with loooooots of extra apps, hoping for a CM build soon.
I'm getting exceptional battery life with factory rom- 60% left at end of day yesterday- thats 2 days with same results. Imagine what could happen without bloat! So far- I love this device.
same here ... want root access lol
---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 PM ----------
found only ZE550KL images that give root, but it doesn't exactly work fine on ZE551KL (touchscreen issues due to different density)
http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2015/10/how-to-root-asus-zenfone-2-laser-ze550kl.html
any ideas?
I bought the phone today. It is very fast and fluid.
waiting for good news to obtain root access.
any way to change the green color of the icon of the sim 1?
phone itself is great, I like it so far, but ... I noticed the stock firmware (5.0 still here) the push notifications do not work ever for apps like CNN news, BBC news, UPS delivery manager, not sure yet what blocks them still, I even made sure to allow them auto-start in asus manager thingy.
Also Google Calendar widget doesn't refresh current date, content gets updates, not the date on it lol, ASUS messed up something in stock firmware or some bloatware is interfering.
Also it kinda sucks that phone's wifi card doesn't support 5GHz band at all and no 802.11AC speeds ... my old Samsung Galaxy S3 could run 5GHz band, this one can't.
oh, but I love the LTE speeds now, got almost 50/28 Mbps here around NYC through T-mobile.
Other than that, I love it, I need a root too ...
Really was hoping to root this phone bummed there isn't one for this model. Hopefully someone will come along and save the day.
Following.

Count me in.. Would also love to see if there will be a CM12 for it.
Not sure if its of any interest; I can't check it out as I don't have the phone yet. asusdotcom slash zentalk slash forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=9340

Thanks for the link, but that's actually for a different phone model. We are specifically looking for rooting the ze551kl (zenphone 2 laser w/1080p screen and 3GB memory.)
What I did find, is that asus has posted the kernel sourcecode for this phone model. It can be found via the support and downloads page on their site.
i'm waiting too

Well, now we only need someone to help us with this. If I am not mistaken, the Kernel needs to be set as Permissive (if ASUS phones works the same as Samsung) - then will we be able to get root...
Anyone knows anyone that can help us with this?

If nobody responds by tomorrow afternoon, I'll dive in to the world of "custom rom making" and see what I can do. I have some programming and some Android experience.
I'm sure this question has probably been answered, somewhere, but it's proven impossible for me to find locate a definitive answer. There are so many different variables.
For the love of all that is good, would somebody please lay it on me: am I SOL or is there some slim ray of hope that I can downgrade my device so that I can use Towelroot? This latest time I've found a little new material so dumped 3 hours chasing down dead ends to no avail.
There are so many half assed or antiquated tutorials out there, many of which weren't carried out by their creators or they'd have found they missed a step. One points to chainfire downloads but the 870A is not supported. Geh.
Thanx for whatever help you can give me!
Has anyone got a guide to rooting a s5 active on android 5. The at&t software is driving me nuts especially the TV remote. Has anyone got a guide to rooting a s5 active on android 5.
The at&t software is driving me nuts especially the TV remote it's hideous and sits in the background.
Many thanks

Unfortunately we don't have an experimental firmware to flash on the Active. This is preventing us from developing a reliable and safe rooting method at the moment.
There's a small chance you'll have some success with Kingroot on Lollipop, but (as with all chinese one-click root things) Kingroot is very sketchy and I would factory reset before trying to use it, since it is known to send data to China.
Sorry we can't be of much more help The actives have always been significantly harder to root.
Hey y'all,and thank y'all for welcoming me. I'm Philip, a 52 yr old tinkerer. I've been reading post and using help guides from XDA for yrs, just never signed up. The info on here is top of the line and more trustworthy than anywhere else. I bricked my girlfriends Galaxy tab and a couple other devices some yrs back and just recently recovered the tab with help from y'all and a laptop from my neighbor. I admit I like the easy way out and diligently to get some of this done via ota files but I had it done in no time with the laptop and Samsung Kies. She currently has a new scepter 8 qlink tab which is the worst performing device I ever touched and I've been reading some discussions on here about maybe rooting it and flashing an update or custom ROM. Aside from the scepter 8 we have C5_Stratus Elite from True Connect that operates fairly decent but either the phone or android 11 won allow display over other apps even if you enable it in developer mode. I think I read somewhere that flashing to android 12 might fix it. It's not a super big deal but I have a few apps that require it but not allowed due to low end hardware. Anyway that's my story for now. Y'all have a good day.
Hi all, I have been the owner of a Galaxy Note 10.1 since it first appeared in my local store in 2012. However, one of the drawbacks with this tablet is that could not be upgraded beyond versions 4 and 4.1.
I recently noticed my tablet was getting slower so decided maybe an upgrade would help. I found a very instructive video on the web to help guide me through the installation of Lineage OS 16.0. However, after successfully completing the installation I am having an issue with the Kindle app. It has installed but each time I try to run it, at first appears OK but then vanishes. The upgrade has made a marked improvement in speed but I generally only use the tablet for internet browsing and for bedtime reading of Kindle books. I find the Kindle issue very frustrating so if anyone can come up with some ideas that may help it would be very much appreciated. Please bear in mind I am well into my eighties so try not to be too techie ... my brain is beginning to slow down, just like my Galaxy was!
