[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
and flash with UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip
BTW first time SuperSU installed but cannot work. So I try to flash again and got it work correctly.
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

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.

I tried the same problem

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.
To make your life simpler, go to the below link, download the tool and watch the video.

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.

Hello,
i`ve the Version VNS-L31C02B329 (Vodafone, Android Nougat rooted, TWRP 3.0.1 allready installed) on my phone. I want to use OTG with the P9 Lite. That is only possible with Marshmallow.
Can I debrand and downgrade my phone with this method?

this method works if you are on marshmallow,I dont know about Nougat;I mean version of twrp and other things

I was on Nougat test-keys as you describe and I tried your method. I flashed the OEMinfo you provide (the box my phone came in says VNS-L31 so I think it was right) and then it told me data partition was damaged and I should fix it. I turned it off and flashed the update.app through dload. Now it won't boot at all. Into anything. Black, completely...
EDIT: It seems like it can access fastboot (it shows up when I type fastboot devices), but the screen won't turn on, nor is there any tactile feeling when I press the power button. I tried flashing system.img, boot.img and recovery.img from the update.app, but it still won't turn on.

what about update_data_full_hw_eu.zip should I download it as well?

Can i get back fingerprint setting
When im using cm13 ROM on my huawei p9 lite,suddenly fingerprint option is missing...if I get back through this MM stock ROM update...

Hi.
Aw man i have exactly the same problem, but what i would need is the rollback for the nvs-l23.
Anyone know where i could find this?

[Recovery][Mate Rs Porsche]

Disclaimer
This software comes with no warranty,XDA staff ,myself or TeamWin stuff can't be hold responsible for any damage it may cause to your device.​
Download and Installation
* Download twrp recovery (link above)
* Start your device in fastboot mode (I assume that you are unlocked previous your bootloader)
* Install the recovery using the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk [name of the file].img --> ex: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk Mate_RS_rayglobe_twrp.img
* Restart with this command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
* As soon as you execute the restart command,remove the USB cable and keep pressing Volume UP,so the device will boot to TWRP.This is to avoid that the device boot to OS,overwritting TWRP recovery.
Features
Internal storage decryption = working (if you before flash twrp remove fingerprint/pattern/pin password).
MTP and OTG connection = working
Backup&Restore = working
Note: This was tested only On Porsche Mater RS and also on P20 Pro.

Oh I see, cool. Thanks.

I tried it with normal P20 Pro and didn't work as described.
I removed lock password and fingerprints. Booted to Download mode and flashed this TWRP version. I rebooted holding volume up and get in to this TWRP version. Now, I booted to system and set my lock PIN and fingerprints. Back to TWRP to check if it could decrypt. I doesn't.

In twrp if You have pin or fingerprint don't decrypt. I wrote that when You go in twrp You must enter without any secure system (fingerprint, pin or path)

You should get it before 22/07/2018,after that date Huawei will no longer provide bootloader unlock codes, so no more modding.

I sadly won't be able to get it, the location I wanted to purchase it from, sold out their current inventory :/ Shame they are enforcing this anti development process on users.

There is a new update, how can I apply this new update to my device with twrp

Hi, I've upgraded my emui to 9 and I lost my root but I have managed to root it using the old method that you side load magisk onto it which is a pain when you have to use a pc. Does your version off twrp decrypt it with all security switched off or would I still need to sideload magisk. Thanks in advance

Internal storage decryption = NOT working . I removed all lock before flash !

1) Get your bootloader unlocked, if you haven't already.
- Visit https://www.zui.com/iunlock
- Enter the IMEI1 (Second number when you call *#06# with the phone)
- Enter the Device ID from the Bootloader/Fastboot (Hold VOL- and Power, while device is off)
- Enter your email and captcha and set the checkmark to acknowledge voiding your warranty.
- If you get an error saying that your IMEI1 is wrong, put in a sim card and wait a few hours. If it still doesn't work, write an email to [email protected]
- In the developer settings in android, enable usb debugging and oem unlock.
- Flash the sn.img file you receive with fastboot (again, hold vol- and power while the device is off). Command is 'fastboot flash unlock sn.img'. You need compatible usb drivers, qualcom drivers and adb/fastboot to do that. Use google or write me a PM if you have trouble with that.
- execute 'fastboot oem unlock-go'
- This allows you to use fastboot to flash custom system/boot/vendor/vbmeta images

Official TWRP for jd2019
In recovery, Format data, then wipe Dalvik/ART Cache, Cache, Data
Reboot to recovery
Install in order, without rebooting, 11.3.169 -> 11.5.096 Update -> 11.5.111 Update.
Install Magisk 20.4
Install TWRP for Android 10 (above) using fastboot if the update replaces stock recovery after rebooting
Edited out from original
Wipe Data and flash Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_08.18.2019.zip
In order not to encrypt Data in the future, install Official TWRP immediately after installing updates. Install > Install Image > twrp-3.3.1-0-jd2019.img
Install GApps
Note: I do not know if the 11.5 update relocks the bootloader. It doesn't lock the bootloader.
I had bootloop from OpenGApps. 4PDA post advises to use BiTGApps. You can install Google Play Store from the built-in Lenovo App Center and that's what I did.
Haven't tried disabling dm-verity and forceencrypt.

Good job, my man, I'll check it out tonight and prepare ourselves an updateable package for people coming from any rom to avoid the hassle of going through all of that. As soon as I get it working will release a new TWRP for Android 10.

Nice job man, so the update works as it should? I'm patching the images and will upload a full ota update to make it easier to move between Pie and 10. Regarding recoverys, did you test any twrp? Any decryption working? What about this official twrp, does it actually work? Thanks for the files man, this will make everything much easier

I've been using the phone on 11.5.111 for a couple of days now.
I flashed both the 3.3.2 TWRP of @wzsx150 and the official TWRP and they seem to be working. I didn't turn off encryption so it seems to work well.
Happy to have helped in a small way. Thank you for your hard work!

I tried unlocking 2 Lenovo phones. The first attempt had sent me an email, but the second attempt did not. The unlock procedure went through though. So I tried changing the link provided in the first email http://cdn.zui.lenovomm.com/developer/lenovoboot/xxxxxxxx/sn.img (xxxxxxxx - serial number of phone) and it worked. This might not work for you though.
As for the OTA, I really am not sure... Probably
