Help a Noob: Rooting and installing ROMs

I recently started playing pokemon go and I am getting really frustrated while playing because it lags soo much and my phone is generally quite slow now. I have been told rooting and installing a good ROM can help with this and I have never attempted this, could someone please explain what rooting and ROMs are and their benefits and a how to guide for this phone and also the best ROM?
I know there are loads of threads on this but if someone could link me best threads I would be eternally gratefull!!

First of all, which variant of LG L90 is your phone (D4xx)? And could you go to Menu > General > About Phone > Software Information and tell me your "version" (v10x or v20x)?
Root is the ability for the user to take total control of his phone, from doing as little as automate 3G activation when an app is open to instaling custom ROMs, which are custom firmwares that you can install in your device, just like the stock one you're currently in, but with some modifications made by its creators. As for advantages, with root you have more freedom over your device, and with Custom ROMs you have some tweaks, which change depending on the ROM you choose to install, going from just porting newer firmwares to older devices to being an entire new OS (Operational System, in case you don't know).

Thank you soo much for your reply and sorry about my late reply. My variant is LG-D405n and software version is V20c-234-30. I think I understand what Root and ROM is thx.
So could you link me to the best method to root and install ROM on my phone?
And what is the best ROM for my device to free up the RAM and CPU used on my device to increase my phone speed?

First of all, install these required apps:
http://king.myapp.com/myapp/kdown/img/NewKingrootV4.9.6_C151_B309_en_release_2016_08_18_105203.apk (For rooting)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify (For flashing the Custom Recovery)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm (For terminal emulation)
Custom Recovery:
TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=18679&task=get
Personally recommended Custom ROM, CyanogenMod (Ports Android updates to older phones plus some tweaks) and Gapps (Google Apps, it's needed to have things like calculator, play store, etc):
CM13: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/175208/cm-13.0-20160820-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO0J8-w7.zip
Gapps: http://opengapps.org/ (Go to this link, select ARM in platform, 6.0 in android and Nano in variant, then just click the download image button)
Put the TWRP img, the CM13 rom img and gapps on microSD or internal storage. Open Kingroot and click on the green button after the 3 introduction images. After a few minutes, your device will be rooted. Grab this file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...0w7xxshoxx-t2826150/post54358527#post54358527 (D405n_v20a_patched_aboot, don't worry, it's okay if you flash a different software version aboot as long as it's the same device as yours. The only "problem" you can have is to have your software version changed to v20c, which if I remember correctly, can be fixed using Bootstacks), transfer it to your phone and open Terminal Emulator. Then input the following commands:
su
dd if=(aboot.bin storage directory) of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot
Then, go to flashify and flash your custom recovery image (TWRP or CWM) in the flash recovery img option. After this, reboot into recovery by pressing Volume Down + Power and when you see the LG Logo, let go of the Power button and press it again. Then select yes two times with the volume keys for selection and power button to actually select the options (Don't worry, your device won't be factory resetted if you successfully installed custom recovery). Then, if you want, make a backup of your entire phone (recommended, just in case something goes wrong or if you just want your apps back when the process is done) in the Backup section and then do a factory reset through the Wipe option (Don't select anything, just swipe the bar). Select the Install option and select your ROM zip. After this, do the same process as the ROM installation but this time with Gapps zip. There you go, now you have CM13 installed. If you want root again, you don't have to install Kingroot again this time, as CM13 has built-in root, just enable Developer options and activate root and you're ready to go. Also, if you want the apps you had before the installation, just restore your backup (ONLY THE DATA PARTITION, otherwise CM13 will be uninstalled and replaced with stock ROM). If something goes wrong and you accidentally brick your device, just reply and I'll help you fix it. (If helped, click the Thanks! button)

Hi, thank you so much, I finally rooted my device but I am having problems with the script part of the terminal emulator.

View attachment 3865362

I don't know what to do here..
EDIT: Also am I meant to have the SuperSU/SuperUser app installed once rooted? Then get a popup in the terminal emulator for permission for its root access?

You have to change "(aboot.bin storage directory) with the directory in which aboot.bin is stored. And no, you don't need SuperSU, when you use the su command, a KingRoot window will open, just say yes.

EDIT: Wahay! It works! Thank you soo much for your help!
EDIT 2: I can't seem to find the option to edit my recent button in settings. What can I do?

If it's the menu button, I don't know of any way to change them, as Android updates change them. For example, my phone in KitKat used the home button for recent apps, in Lollipop it used the menu button for recent apps, and when I installed CM13, it used the home button again.

You have helped me out so much already! Thank you so much!
But just one more thing though, could you explain how to install magisk and xposed in layman's term so I can use Android Pay?

I don't know what magisk is nor layman's term, but to install Xposed just go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811, download both Xposed installer apk and xposed zip. Install xposed apk and flash xposed zip

First of all, you don't need to use that TWRP build, you can use the latest one. To fix the only errors that should appear (Updater error 7 and 6), delete the first lines of updater-script until you reach the ui_print part (the first line of your file should be "ui_print("Target: 1471683591");"). Also, delete any double spaces that exist (there should be two, one before "abort" at line 27 and the other before "abort" at line 30). If it still gives the same error, try wiping Cache, data, system and dalvik-cache partitions, try to install the ROM, it'll give the error. Now, reboot your phone and try to install without wiping anything. (To properly see the line indications, open the file using Notepad++)

[Tips Tricks Tools] Huawei P9 Lite

Hi,
Today I will introduce the changes you can make to your Huawei P9 lite device.
These methods have been tested on my VNS-L31C432 and it's work on B130 update and earlier.
Sorry in advance for my incorrect syntax in inglish, i'am french user
1. Update to latest version
If your device is NOT ROOTED install the OTA update.
Otherwise place a folder named "dload" into you external or internal SD card and put update file (unzipped) on this folder.
Update for VNS-L31C432BXXX to VNS-L31C432B130 dual-sim, european version here >> https://www.hidrive.strato.com/lnk/H2ljl9lt
Turn off your device.
Hold volume up/down and power button for a long time.... Update starts automatically after this.
If your device is bricked, do not format the partition (except dalvik and cache) and go update (this update is a full version, your system will be restored).
2. Unlock Bootloader/install TWRP/Root your device
Follow this steps >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-twrp-root-t3405701
if you have problems to get the unlocking code, log on Huawei site with your Facebook login, CHOOSE your device model and click request the code, enter the requested information, done!
TWRP 3.0.2.0 work but nandroid backup doesn't work!
For solve this, install the "TWRP Manager" app and go backup page, done!!!
(If you need set SElinux in permissive mode please read below).
3. Set SElinux to permissive mode for ever!
Download "Terminal IDE" app.
Open it and run this:
(please, type a command at a time)
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
mkdir /system/su.d
echo "#!/system/bin/sh" > /system/su.d/permissive.sh
echo "setenforce 0" > /system/su.d/permissive.sh
echo "0" > /sys/fs/selinux/enforce
chmod 755 /system/su.d/permissive.sh
restart your device, done!
4. Install Xposed Frameworks
Follow this step >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/guide-xposed-p9-lite-t3425315 and chose this version >> http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk23/arm64/xposed-v86-sdk23-arm64.zip (xposed-v86-sdk23-arm64 work fine, no battery drained).
5. Best Xposed module worked fine
Here are some useful and functional modules (not exhaustive list..)
-Amplify (for battery saving)
-Greenify (for battery saving)
-BootManager (for chose your apps in start on boot)
-Play Store Changelog (to display your apps and update at the opening of the Play Store)
-WiFiKeyView (view your wifi key in new tab at wifi setting. Little bug your key is not visible but copy your key and past on a note worked)
-XInternalSD (chage the path to dowload file from Chrome >> external SD) (work on other app )
-VolumeSteps+ (If you find that your volume increases too quickly, This module add steps in the volume bar! Customisable)
-ActivityForceNewTask (Force app open in correct app)
-Force Immersive Mode (Force immersive mode in your app, customisable)
-VirtualSensor (Material emulation of gyroscop, not worked with pogo dev running for this isue)
-AdBlocker and Lucky Patcher Module (I'm not sure that really works..)
6. Use your External SD on Internal (Full supported!!)
This trick enable the official feature "adoptable storage" on your Marshmallow with EMUI. better than Link2SD.
-Connect your device in your PC.
-Run ADB and run this comand:
Code:
adb shell
sm list-disks
you will see a number, that is the identifier of your SD card. For example "159,49".
Run this comand (replace YOUR_SD_IDENTIFIER ):
Code:
sm partition disk:YOUR_SD_IDENTIFIER mixed:50
Done, your external SD have 50% of memory for external and 50% for internal emulation.
Next, appointment in your storage settings and check the total capacity of the device! It may appear 0.00 o available, it's just a visual bug don't worries
Use a "DiskInfo" app or a file explorer for see correctly values.
7. BONUS play the walking dead season 1 and 2 on your P9 lite
I love this game! But device not suported..
the only solution is to take a file from the game with the unlocked level ...
Version named "Mali".
I hope you enjoyed my guide if you have questions or other tricks leave a comment.
Thanks!

nice guide, thinking myself do one like this, but can be improved... add multi user, multi window, calling recorder, substratum/layer support, build.prop mods, smart-e, smart cover etc

I was trying this some time ago...
With TWRP, I was just getting booted into TWRP. Is there something I'm doing wrong or is it just me? I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thank you Snapdesign, If you have more info to add , I would edit the post and I would quote you.
Zeruno, TWRP, stock recovery and stock updater some many diferent. if you don't remove it, you have full acces on it.
Your device is shutdown, hold volume up + volume down + power and don't release it before the updater screen appears!
normally it works...

Yep there's my problem -- updater screen never comes but TWRP loads instead. I wonder if there is some adb command?! That would solve a problem.

i do not think there is an command to go in the updater..
Wait for a more positive response from another user
Or try this at your risk...
Put any file for update (update.app, META-INF, ...) On a .zip archive named "update.zip" and place in your adb folder.
Connect your device on PC launch adb and run this:
Code:
Adb reboot bootloader
Wait for see bootloader screen and run:
Code:
Adb sideload update.zip
I not tested personally this method...

Otherwise place a folder named "dload" into you external or internal SD card and put update file (unzipped) on this folder.
Update for VNS-L31C432BXXX to VNS-L31C432B130 dual-sim, european version here >> https://www.hidrive.strato.com/lnk/H2ljl9lt
Turn off your device.

Is this the procedure if your phone is rooted but you still want to install the OTA? (My current situation)

This method work on a rooted and no-rooted device.
The root "disable" the OTA function.
Don't try OTA on stock app update in your setting if your device is rooted.

The trick to use ext sd to increase space works with both stock and root or only with root?
Inviato dal mio SM-N9005 utilizzando Tapatalk

This trick no need a su promp comand.
Su command is only available for root user.
Trick work on no root acces
EDIT: im not sur if adb shell work for guest user.. try it

After lot of test, this version Xposed Framework is not a better for P9 lite.
Version unmodified v86 work fine with resource hook activated!

Hello,
will this trick work even with TWRP recovery or only with stock recovery? is there any other way to install OTA updates if I have TWRP and root?

This trick work on a rooted or stock device.
Work only with stock updater.
Is not possible to update with OTA if your device is rooted, no isue.
If you proced a manual install, your device lost the root and your bootloader re-lock automatically.
Possible to re-unlock and re-root after this update.

About the 6th step, is it reversible? Once I've done it, can I change it again to what it used to be?
Thank you

Hi guys, I have two questions. First, how can I move apps data from internal memory to SD card? And second, does our phone have a front camera flash? Thanks

so it is possible to use my sd card as internal storage? how will this be displayed in my os?
does it just think of it as 1 bigger internal sd or something else? just want to make sure before buying the phone .
also, is the huawei p9 lite a good phone to be rooted and used with custom firmware (e.g. supportive community etc.)
thank you very much in advance for answers!
have a nice day everybody

Adoptable storage for SD card is not available in stock firmware due to EMUI security policy. But you can do it in custom firmware based on AOSP.
P9 Lite has fully functional CyanogenMod, SlimRom, Resurrection Remix, MedRom (based on stock EMUI 4.1.1 Android 6) and Revolution OS ( Bases on stock EMUI 5.0 Android 7).

In the OP I had the ADB_Root_G930U_QE2Files.zip linked to the ADB_Root_G935U_QE2Files.zip zip so please make sure you have the ADB_Root_G930U_QE2Files.zip when downloading. Its fixed in the OP now so just double check
I recommend everyone put the Flashfire AP zip and Rom Zip on your internal storage as the AP file is so large that it may not be read properly do too limitations of some SD Cards. When you select AP file in Firmware there should be 4 partitions that are selected. If not then you have a bad download or need to have AP file on internal storage

Thanks for all your hard work . I just installed this so far so good but I am missing Wi-Fi calling. Is that normal or am I just not looking in the correct place? Thanks

Ok will try that when I get a chance. Thanks again.

Thx for an awesome rom.
Sorry if this question is asked before but couldn't find a solution (checked Verizon thread as well).
I am running Playstore version ROM and everything is working fine except Video Recording.
Photo is fine but when I record a video with included Camera NX, it only plays sound and the screen is either still or black.

I have been taking a needed break. I will update all my s7 roms including this one in the next few days

Nice

That rom can flash for g930p? tks your work!!

@jrkruse
Thanks for all your contributions to this device. I just bought this device and I've been diving through the forums trying to gather as much info on this locked down device.
Could you provide me with just the boot images that don't check the system image and from what model/rom are they from?
Oh and could you provide the partitions locations? The latest roms have an updated Knox that blocks SU from doing it's thing and I have to perform everything via adb (eng boot).

Blank screen
Hello,
I am on your custom rom and the phone was working fine for a day. After I restarted the phone I am not able to see the lockscreen. Its just blank. I do hear the sound of taking a screenshot when I press the buttons and I also can see the " shut down, restart, emg mode" buttons when I hold the power button but no lockscreen. I tried running the recovery boot img but nothing changed.
There is some kind of issue at the locksceen after a restart.

I followed the directions up to Step 7.
For the life of me I can not get the AP file to copy to my SD card. Yes I have enough space on it and I can get the ROM copied.
I tried copying the AP file with a file explorer, on my PC, external card reader. Every time I try, it gets to about 95-99% and says "copy failed".
I know it says flashfire only, but is that my only option?

In my case I created a folder named Download in Internal Storage and copied Zip and AP files there. I didn't have trouble coping files there.
From my experience & guess, you may still have old files & settings even though you flashed U-firm files Step 1-2.
Try to access recovery mode and do factory reset and see if this helps. Make sure you backup all important files to External SD because it will factory reset.

So I rooted my phone using Araltd's guide in this forum. I've got a couple of questions about this rom...
1. If I were to flash this rom to my device, would it remove my root access?
2. What's device performance like? After rooting, my device is very slow and buggy. Will this fix that?
3. Will my device still be full of T-Mobile's bloatware?
Thanks!

1. Yes, it will remove Root Access but you can still use ADB to do root stuff like push / pull files.
2. Since it will use stock boot instead of ENG boot, it will fix the lag issue.
3. This is U (universal) firmware so it won't have Tmobile bloat but it will have Samsung bloat/apps. During the install you can also choose de-bloat level too. From my experience BS-Free (2nd one), is both lightweight and stable. If you go with Playstore level (most lightweight, replace Samsung Apps with Google ones), you will have trouble with camera.

Do you know how this rom compares to the QF6 one which seems to be a bit more popular?

The QF6 ROM you mentioned is T-mobile firmware so it will have Tmobile apps. Most of them can be removed from ROM install or disabled after.
Other than that there's no performance difference.
If you want Tmobile like environment with Tmobile update schedule, go with T-mobile one. If you want less carrier apps, go with U-Firmware one.

I will no longer be updating my s7 threads until the time Oreo is released with root method. For now I have worked with @stang5litre to bring my non-root method to his amazing rom. He currently has a nougat release found here http://stang5litre-roms.proboards.com/

I keep getting samsung pay connection error. any fixes? i tried factory reset and reset settings, but the app still doesnt work. do i have to reflash the rom?

If you at any point tried to root it or flashed the modified boot image then you are no longer passing the safteynet checks, my suggestion is to do a clean install and see if it works then try it again making sure you don't root after you are done installing this rom.

The only way we can get it ported is if we find an Android 9.0 with the same chipset (Very unlikely) but keep your eyes peeled and let me know if you find one

Have tried to install, but I can't, I have followed this steps:
1. With ODIN, I have installer this file: I9506XXUDOD3_I9506NEEDOD4_I9506XXUDOD3_HOME.tar.md 5.7z
2. Then, I have booted my device, and then Installed TWRP with ODIN.
3. Then, I copied the ViPER4Android and JamesDSP folder into the root directory of my phone.
4. Then, I did a boot backup, and copied the RESTORE ALL PARTITIONS Folder into the folder where the other backup folder is.
5. Then, I Restored the RESTORE ALL PARTITIONS backup, and then I bootes into the system again.
Idk if I'm forgetting to do some step that is in the tutorial, but I can't find the way to install this I'll be very pleased if someone helps me.
thx in advance

What is currently on the GS⁴ you plan to install this on? Is it custom or is the latest stock build on it?
EDIT: go ahead and flash the stock image provided in my zip. Then after it reboots to stock revocery and does its little thing immeadiately boot back into stock revovery and format /data after that reboot to download and flash twrp. Go ahead and re setup the restore of the all partitios 7z now when you do a restore unclick all the options and restore only the EFS partition then reboot into the still unbooted stock image you odin flashed. Make sure cellular wifi etc works (If the downgrade was unsuccessful then some of those will break) if the downgrade was unsuccessful then do the same thing above except omit the EFS restore and instread boot after you factory rest in recovery.

[NOOB’s][DETAILED] [GUIDE] TO Backup/Restore Stock+ Unlock Bootloader + TWRP + ROOT

A/A & Welcome,
READ THE FULL GUIDE OR YOU CAN LAND IN TROUBLE
Ain't gonna work on pie official
AND DO PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON

* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,

INTRO
This is a full guide for unlock/relock, install TWRP, Root your device and backup/restore stock OS. Each and every step is explained thoroughly with pictures and videos.
I have ASUS Zenfone Max Pro M1 (6GB variant) (X00TD) (ZB601KL), so I can’t test for other variants. Please report back issues, corrections, omissions, etc., though the guide should work for all devices.
THINGS TO KNOW (IMPORTANT)
~Every text written in double quotes “” means the same written without the quotes.
e.g.:- “abcd” means abcd
“zxcv” means zxcv
They (“”) help to separate usual text from the other text (like a command, file name, etc.)
~If you have not enabled file name extensions then you will see files without their extension and vice versa
e.g.:- “filename”, “mypicture” in 1st case
“filename.extension”, “mypicture.png” in 2nd case, respectively.
~Boot Partition or Bootloader:-This is the partition that enables the phone to boot. Without this partition, the device will not be able to boot.
~Recovery Partition:-Recovery partition lets you boots the device into a recovery mode to perform recovery tasks.
~TWRP: - stands for TeamWin Recovery Project. It is a custom touch recovery that is GUI based.
~Flashing: - simplest: - installing
~Fastboot Partition: - lets us reflash partitions. (On device)
~Fastboot: - is an executable used to reflash partitions. It comes with the Android SDK. (On PC)
~Rooting: - an Android phone lets owner edit system files. Thus enabling various tweaks and use of apps that require root access.
~Device driver: - determines how PC will communicate with a device.
~Unlocking/Relocking:-With a locked Bootloader, booting into custom things is not allowed is not. Unlocking lets us do so.
~Reboot: - Switching ON AND OFF (in simple terms)
Requirements
MIND, PC, USB Cable, Internet, Fully charged PC (Windows OS), and obviously Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1
The Real Steps From Here
FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE YOU WILL PROBABLY LOSE ALL THE DATA ON YOUR PHONE SO MAKE A BACKUP FIRST (Don’t worry it’s in guide too)
STEP 1. Downloading all the necessary files
a. Here are 2 zip file with everything you will probably need following the guide :-
basic zip
extension zip
. I have tested the procedures using these files only so maybe other versions might not work. A “guide.doc” with the same text as in here (on XDA) is also present. It will be of great help if you don’t have internet connection in PC.
The basic zip file contains minium files needed.
The extension zip file contains the TWRP recovery(then one used in the guide),guide.docx ,and the videos used here too.
Copy the twrp file to unlock folder of extracted folder.
b. Extract the zip file above.
First download the zip file and Copy to PC
Then Right Click on it
Then click “Extract All”
Uncheck “Show extracted files…”
Click on “Extract”
The folder “zip” will be extracted
Done
This “zip” folder will be called extracted folder in the guide video link to extract zip
To download most up to date version of the files go to links present at last
STEP 2. BACKUP
a. Use an apk backup tool to backup app installers
VIDEO TO BACKUP APP INSTALLERS
b. Some APPS like Whatsapp, etc. have backup to drive function use that
VIDEO TO BACKUP WHATSAPP CHATS
c. Backup SMS AND Call Logs
VIDEO TO BACKUP CALL LOGS AND MESSAGES
d. Copy each and every file from you internal storage to PC.
Video to backup each file to pc
DONE
Step 3. UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER(Data will be wiped)
2 options:-
A. Official Method (NOT TESTED): -
In extracted folder go to “unlock” folder then “Official” folder. Install the “UnlockTool_9.1.0.3_180621_fulldpi_signed_ZB601KL.apk” in Asus and follow the steps from there.
B. Unofficial Method (Tested):-
a. Installing Drivers
Connect phone using USB cable to PC
Right click on This Pc
Go to “Manage” > “Device Manager” Or Just search for “Computer Management”/“Device Manager”
A list will appear.
Find your device (best way to do so is by disconnecting/connecting the device and notice the changes accordingly in the list)
Now right click on it>”Update Driver Software”>“Browse my computer for driver software”
Now either enter path of the driver folder or click on browse and navigate to the driver path from there.
Press Next OR
“Let me pick …”>and select the driver
video to install driver
The drivers have been installed
b. Booting into FASTBOOT
Switch Off the Phone
Hold the Volume UP and Power ON Button Simultaneously
Device buttons labbled image
You will see this on your phone
image of FASTBOOT screen
c. Unlocking Bootloader
Now connect phone using USB cable to PC
Look for the “unlock” folder in the extracted folder.
Open it
Find “unlock.cmd” or “unlock” file
(Or “unlock no erase.cmd” to keep data {not tested})
Open it
Done
d. You will see some messages in yellow/brown/white colour on your phone
You will most probably see “encrypting your device”, “warning Bootloader unlocked” messages, let phone do its work and don’t interrupt it, and keep cable connected. Phone might reboot too. The phone will at last boot into stock OS and you will see the device setup screen.
image of the warning message
e. Now if you wanted TO ONLY UNLOCK BOOTLOADER THEN THE JOB IS DONE, long press power button. If you want to root or flash TWRP then continue (Tested method to root requires TWRP flashing or you can try the untested method to root only)
Step4. Installing/Flashing TWRP
TESTED METHOD
a. Connect phone using USB cable to PC
b. Don’t setup your device just now because possibilities are you might lose the data again
c. Boot into fastboot mode
d. Open the “unlock” folder in the extracted folder.
Now Two Different ways to opt for from here:-
i. THE LAZY METHOD (Tested)
a. Open “flash_recovery.bat” or “flash_recovery” in the “unlock” folder of the extracted folder.
b. You can flash the tested or any other recovery using this script.
c. Follow the steps from the script
video of how to use the script
d.Then go to step of Flashing ZIPS of The Manual Method
e. Done
OR
ii. The Manual Method (Tested)
a. Keeping Shift Key pressed, right click {with mouse} in the blank white space of the “unlock” folder’s explorer window.
b. From the menu select “open command window here”
c. A CMD window will be opened
open cmd video
d. Now type “fastboot devices”
e. See if your device is connected. You will see something like this
f. Now type “fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-X00TD-20181024.img”
If you want to flash any other recovery instead of “twrp-3.2.3-0-X00TD-20181024.img” write the file name of your recovery file. Make sure it’s in “unlock folder”. Though this recovery is the only tested one (by me).
g. Now keeping the phone connected to PC, boot into TWRP/Recovery by pressing the Volume Down and Power ON Button Simultaneously.
h. The usual warnings, messages and recovery boot screen will flash:-
warning image
twrp flash screen image
i. It may take some time to load so wait for at least 2 minutes.
j. Now if touch is not working press power button 2 times (on and off the screen)
video showing how to enable touch in twrp
k. If it shows “Swipe to Unlock” do so. If it shows “Swipe to Allow Modifications” then wait and continue reading …
swipe to allow image
swipe to unlock
l. “Swipe to Allow Modifications” means you allow TWRP to modify system. This will make sure TWRP remains in the phone and not just vanish after a reboot but it also means you will have to flash some other files to be able to boot into stock rom back.
m.
2 ways from here:-
i. Now after swiping, Decrypt Screen will appear just press cancel.
decrypt screen image
OR
ii. If you have data on the device then enter pin/password or try default_password.
If you had kept pattern then either go back and change it or try this:-
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
these no’s correspond to pattern dots.
Say you kept pattern “third row left to right” then the password is 789 .
If all these fail then you will have to lose your data.
n. As we don’t have any precious data in our phone we will (or you are compromising)
Press “Wipe”
Press “Format Data”
TYPE “yes”
Press “tick” or “enter key”
Done
wipe data video
>Flashing ZIPS
o. Now Copy these 2 files
i. “decrypt.zip” or “decrypt”
ii. “Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_12.16.2018.zip” or “Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_12.16.2018”
From extracted folder to your phones internal storage.
p. Go to Install>select the zip>swipe to flash (flash dm_verity… then decrypt…)
If you don’t see your device storage connected then try reconnecting using USB cable and also check if MTP is enabled.
enable mtp video
>Done
Want to root? Then continue…
or >
Now reboot to system Go to Reboot>System
video to show how to rebbot to system in twrp
Step 5. Rooting
We will be using Magisk to root you can use any other method but this is the only tested method.
a. Copy “Magisk-v18.0.zip” or “Magisk-v18.0” to your phones internal storage from extracted folder.
b. Go to Install>select Magisk…>swipe to flash
Done
c. Now reboot to system Go to Reboot>System
reboot video
e. To use Magisk properly you may need to download latest apk. (Link at last)
Step 6. Relock (NOT TESTED)
a. Connect phone using USB cable to PC
b. Boot into fastboot mode
c. Open “Relock” folder from extracted folder
d. Open “relock.cmd” or “relock” file
Done
Step 7. RESTORING
a. First setup the Device again
b. Copy each and every file back to the phone storage
c. Now to restore messages see the restoring part of this video here
d. WhatsApp messages will be automatically restored after you install the app with same number as before.
Tips
After rooting don’t just go on and flash a custom rom. Take a backup first (of all partitions) using TWRP and keep it safe somewhere so you won’t need to find unbrick tutorials later. Plus you will have your most stable and tailored rom with you.
Also don’t just go on and flash xyz mod. Research and then Flash.
Magisk is our best friend. It lets you do modifications without hurting the system. The Magisk modules are most safe mods as they can be reverted back easily.
And don’t just go on and debloat stock OS. In Magisk there is a module called Debloater use that. You can easily revert back if anything goes wrong.
Other good Magisk modules: - Energized, Systemizer, MidnightCore & Advanced Charging Controller (acc) but do read their XDA guides first.

Thanks for the help.
I'm running into some problems while installing the driver software on my Windows 10 laptop. It shows Error 10 this device cannot start.
I tried to uninstall and reinstall the drivers, rebooted my pc on every step, tried to install while connected to my phone, but nothing seems to work.
I've installed the Pie Beta for Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 (not sure if this is causing it)
Is there a solution to this problem?

I am currently on Beta Pie...will these methods work for bootloader unlocking and TWRP, custom rom flash ???? I just wanna use PE/Havoc OS rom...no other tweaks or root

thanks its working

I updated to pie beta and I think this guide is not working for that, because when flashing twrp. I'm getting 'request download size is more than allowed size' and I tried every way possible to solve it. But no luck Hope you can help me with it, or maybe it'll work after stable version?
