I'm not responsible for any damage on your phone. Do it at your own risk. Don't come angry or get mad at me, because I'll totally ignore them. I'm just trying to help, if you think this is dangerous for your phone or not worth it, please do back down.
If my thread here is a duplicate, then please feel free to report it so it would be brought down.
I don't own this device, It was my friends device, and I just messed around with it because he bootlooped the phone by doing things without understanding'em. After getting frustrated over and over, suddenly an idea dawned inside my head to do 'what you're about to do' to your phone. This thread here is just to help other ZE500KG users that are as frustrated as I am (was). I didn't find any guide to unlock the ZE500KG here so I decided to do one. If anyone wants to redo this guide, feel free to do it! I'm just here to help even if with very limited knowledge and resources.
First of all, before reading or doing this guide, I'd like to give you a small note, I WON'T BE GIVING LINKS OF THE FILES ITSELF, please search them yourself, you've got google and the threads here (another reason why I'm not giving you links of the files is because my external HDD got corrupted and I lost nearly every file there is for the Z00RD). Plus I did this unlocking like 8-6 months ago, in frustration, so I've forgotten lots of things about the Z00RD.
Now I'd like to explain whats about to happen:
As you guys might know, the only official bootloader unlocking is only available for the Z00ED. What you are about to do is tricking the Z00RD as if it was Z00ED by flashing the Z00ED's stock recovery and flashing stock rom of Z00ED to Z00RD (I hope some users can automatically get the idea of what to do after reading this). After it boots just download the official unlock tool for Z00ED and unlock it. How is this possible? Currently Z00RD (ZE500KG) & Z00ED (ZE500KL) are siblings. They're using the same hardware inside, the only difference is in the camera and modem. So theoretically we can flash ROMs of Z00ED to Z00RD.
Prerequisites:
First of all, please download the respective stock recoveries of Z00ED as per current OS version. Search for them. There is a link somewhere in the forums, just try searching for it. If you're on Lollipop, download the LP stock recovery of Z00ED (ZE500KL) and if you're on Marshmallow download the MM stock recovery Z00ED. Technically this it's just upgrading to latest stock MM ROM.
Download the final stock rom for Z00ED in ASUS's Official Website
Download the official unlock tool for Z00ED that is in the ASUS Official Website too
Optional:
Download stock recovery and stock ROM of ZE500KG and after the unlocking process is finished try reverting back to stock ROM with stock recovery of ZE500KG <- Just incase you are afraid something will go wrong and don't know how to edit build.prop-s to change your device type.
MOST IMPORTANT IS THAT YOU UNDERSTAND & KNOW HOW TO USE ADB & FASTBOOT COMMANDS! I won't be helping you with this, because I'm pretty sure if you're here on XDA, it means you've done some research and pretty much have the knowledge to use the commands.
Okay lets get started:
Move the downloaded stock rom of Z00ED to your phone (I forgot if it has to be renamed and forgot if it has to be in internal or can be put to external) or you could just skip this and later on uise ADB commands to sideload the file.
Boot to fastboot mode / bootloader
Flash the stock recovery via fastboot
Boot to stock recovery that can be done via fastboot command 'fastboot boot' or manually doing it (I forgot the combinations, I'm pretty sure you guys have this covered)
Once it boots to recovery, install the stock rom of Z00ED that has been downloaded (I'd prefer using adb sideload, but it's up to you guys)
You don't have to wipe data, because if you're on MM the data will stay, if you came from LP, it'll be migrated.
Reboot the device and after it wait until it finishes booting (If you're lucky nothing would go wrong in this step)
After it finishes booting, just install the official unlock bootloader app that you've downloaded, open the app and follow the instructions.
Voila device will reboot and you've (somehow) officially unlocked the bootloader of ZE500KG! You're free to flash custom recoveries, custom roms and blablabla without any restriction!
This last step is optional:
If you're planning on sticking with stock ROM, I suggest you to revert back to ZE500KG stock ROM. I don't know if this is a must or optional, but for safety measures I did this to my friends phone.
Notes:
If you've tried rooting this phone via hotbooting a custom kernel (boot.img) that you've found in the threads here (Sorry if I'm not mentioning any names here) and have the fastboot error in every reboot, this will fix it, but if you plan on sticking with stock rom, you won't be able to flash SuperSU in it, because the su binaries will be occupied. On the other hand, MagiskSU works flawlessly.
If somehow this guide doesn't work for you, Try to do other things, or flash other stock recoveries of different stock rom releases of Z00ED. At least you've got the idea on how it works.
If nothing works for you, maybe you're just unlucky, because as usual, ASUS ships different variants of it's phone that may prove to be incompatible with my guide.
There you go! Happy unlocking! Sorry if my post was semi "TL : DR" or I don't reply your posts ASAP, I'm not always online on XDA. Just try your luck and give it a shot! Trial and error is bound to happen when you're dealing with Android phones. Good luck!
Lucky enough my friend sent me some screenies. If this isn't enough, I'll ask him to make a video to see his unlocked status and device type.

initial rooting
superSU & added TWRP
**at this point i tired everything to get xposed to work with releases below, then tried them as priv-app, all failed**
OpenGAPPS stock to replace googleware.
deodex & zip-aligned via kamometoolv7_kitkat
busybox update, 1.26 via f-droid
*i uninstalled and reinstalled various xposed versions, retired installing as system app, all same effect.*
****
official builds i have tired:
i have tried the official releases from the XPOSED repo, 2.5, 2.6, 2.6.1, 2.7.1.
unofficial build i have tired:
xpose 4.4.4+fix solwarz please note this is a FAIL these .so files will brick device. i tired all the solutions in this thread ie both old and newer fixes on the last page & frist. no avail.
currently installed:
XPosed 3.0.1 by dvdandroid -29/04/17
this seems to install the right app_process, in app says bridge 58. this failed then I installed:
xposedbusyboxsuppliement along side from some thread on xda, same effect as without it failure.
XposedStatusText installed one random modual to generate moduals.list that was missing! rebooted...FAILURE.
********
Symptoms & procedure:
install framework thru Flashing or classic system rewrite produces the same effect.
Xposed installer reports everything OKAY, also I can confirm install moved app_process correctly with permissions set.
/Click activate/ then reboot.
Booting gets past manufacture logo and goes to boot animation photo.
*waits 10mins just incase* Stuck at boot animation.
*presses power fast 5x to disable xposed*
phone finished booting into launcher.
check XPOSE, says installed but not activated, logs say nothing out of the ordinary.
retest with PC & adb for logcat.
ADB is available with shell su. logcat loops.

for the socially challenged:
Some information provided maybe irrelevant as such do not go on tangents about irrelevant information! Do not go on tangents about WHY i would want to do anything. the case of the matter is this challenge sits before you, i ask your people's help in getting xposed to work properly on this device.
XPosed 3.0.1 by dvdandroid -29/04/17 should already have the updated https://github.com/rovo89/Xposed
that rovo89 updated late 2016 to workaround the securty patch from google that forces all zygote loaded stuff (jars) on a whistlist. after reading a 200 post github thread on the subject i am now more confused about what to do besides make a new rom entirely of which is out of the scope of my ability.
Can someone conmpile the latest xposebridge.jar against sdk19 and not sdk23? perhaps then we can use a higher bridge# than 58. or does one need to compile a new app_prosses?? or both?? Rovo has seem to fix the same issue but only updated the 5/6 android installers. Advice would be grand thanks.

Well I have tried every firmware flashing tool I can find for the Qualcomm chipset, does anybody know which tool to use for flashing this. As QPST requires a firehose*.mbn file for flashing, this firmware does not have a firehose flash programmer. Thank you for your help @backplate and @petiolarissean.:good:
When I ran into firmware I took note and grabbed it up for community.Found it on Chinese site and friend speaks Chinese told me about it.If I can get file needed.Let me know name file and ask friend who speaks Chinese.Sean,
PS!Pixel still works!

I tried using this file prog_emmc_firehose_8x10.mbn, with a SaharaFail Error in QPST. I suppose the file would be named the same except with a 6 prog_emmc_firehose_8610.mbn. I am not sure, hopefully we can figure something out for this bugger. I hate to have a phone laying around that doesn't work, I know there are many others looking for the same. I have seen a few posts here and there asking for this firmware.
Hi all,
My build number is
VTR-L09C432B171
I am at the stage where I can now run either of those TWRP version:
1. twrp-3.1.1-0-vtr.img
MD5: 47e83bee437506e1308ca2e29fe30e9c
2. twrp_3.1.1_fromfuture.img
MD5: a4dd832349d345e187b4c125f2a81e18
Before going further, I would like to ask some advice. As a newbie, I want to go SLOW so I don't take a step I might regret.
First, let me clarify my goal. At this stage I am not looking for a custom ROM, but just root access so I can run things like AdAway, Titanium, Uninstall, NotificationsOff...
I found different information about rooting the P10.
For my goal, which will be best?
1. SuperSU-v2.82.zip
http://www.teamandroid.com/2017/04/19/root-huawei-p10-emui-51-android-nougat/
2. Magisk

4. fRomFuture
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/development/rom-fromfuture-stock-rom-b164-t3657812
Thank you in advance for helping me out of this confusing place!
Hey Mate,
i also did try some of your posted links on my Huawei P10 but i runned in some problems. I think you also need an external SD Card to work with.
My experience so far :
1. SuperSU-v2.82.zip
When i flashed the ZIP, i didnt got any root rights on my devices.
The Phone wasn't brick, but i just had no root rights on it.
I am not sure this is defintly not working, i readed some postive Feedbacks in the internet. Its just my experience.
http://www.teamandroid.com/2017/04/19/root-huawei-p10-emui-51-android-nougat/
3. SuperRoot_noverity_nocrypt.zip
The behavoir was the same like the 1. SuperSu-v2.82.zip
I am not sure this is defintly not working, i readed also some postive Feedbacks in the internet. Its just my experience. Maybe if you got time to try i would be happy to get a Feedback from you.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10...0-p10-t3589946
2. Magisk
After my Trys with the Root Zips, i tried to enable the "Root" by systemless Rooting with Magisk.
First i tried the Version 14, which didnt worked for me.
After that i tried the Version 12 from Magisk, which i did exactly like the information as you got from MusicHeat:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10/how-to/guide-huawei-p10-root-magisk-magisk-t3625151
This got me the Root rights on my P10.
Important: When you try to Root your phone systemless with Magisk you must have your Stock Firmeware installed. It will get you some error by flashing magisk if you already tried another root methode. Like, if you tried your first or third opinion you have to flash your Stock Firmeware again (i did this in the fastboot with the extractet Update.app (Firmeware) from Huawei. The Boot.img, Recovery.img and System.img (also the Cust.img) is in the Update.app.) To extract the Update.app you can use HuaweiUpdateExtractor from worstenbrood.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
After all i tried xposed Framework on my systemless rooted P10, which was working fine.
The "Hide Root" Methode is also nice to have.
4. fRomFuture
I didnt try that on my own. But there is a requierment that you have prerootet with Magisk.
So in my opinion you should give a try at Number 2 (Magisk).
But its up to you. If you try 1 or 3 Possibility give me a Feedback in this thread
Kind regards
@ChipCollector
Wow, it's really lucky (for me) that you tried all these methods!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Isn't it weird that there are web pages out there saying the SuperSU method is the best, when in fact you and others have a completely different experience?
Alright then, based on your comments, I will probably try Magisk.
So far I have only unlocked, not rooted, so starting from a "fresh system".
Just so I am 100% sure I understand what Magisk does:
1. This is not a whole replacement ROM, right?
I am just trying to get root -- for the time being I still want to use the standard camera program for example as I would like to get to know the phone.
2. With Magisk, can you still get Huawei updates, or is that a problem?
Of course I'll go study the Magisk thread, but if you have any thoughts on those, I'd love to hear them.
Thanks, man! :good:
TRY
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/root-supersu-2-81-emui-5-t3612258
6a or 6b version 100% working!
but still the data partition remains encrypted.
The developer of Twrp describes this error precisely so that it does not work, they are looking for a solution.
It only works if the kernel is turned off by forced encryption and reformatted the whole data partition.
Update:
Tried Magisk v. 14
Device bricked immediately.
Now following unbricking steps from this thread.
Question: for my build number (VTR-L09C432B171) several firmwares are found (see screenshot). How do I know what to choose (OTA-MF / FullOTA-MF?) On that screenshot, where do I click to download a firmware?
Thanks in advance.

Any thoughts on which is more appropriate?
I should add that I did a full backup with TWRP before bricking by installing Magisk 14.
But I am not managing to load TWRP to restore that backup. What I am trying: Press Power, when it vibrates press Volume Up and hold, quickly release power, keep holding Volume Up.
The phone boots into Huawei Recovery, with "Download latest version and recovery" the only meaningful option, and it sees my WIFI connection, but it keeps failing to download.
Update:
- Finally got TWRP to run.
- Restored the backup
- Phone is booting
- After that, tried to run TWRP again to try to install Magisk 12
NotificationsOff and other apps are saying Root Not Available, so I'm not sure what's going on. But at least the phone is booting.
Finally Working
Finally Working!!!
The steps:
- Restored the TWRP backup
- Installed Magisk 12 via TWRP
- Installed Magisk Manager via APK
- Within Magisk Manager, following this advice, checked the two boxes, selected Update, selected Direct (recommended), which updated to Magisk 14. Within SafetyNet Check, both come back Green.
Absolutely stoked. :good:
Huge thanks to everyone who puts these wonderful resources together.
What is my twrp password for user 0?
How do I get the phone running after updating to v22?
You need to provide much more information if you want anyone to help you…
What’s you phone brand and model ?
How did you install Magisk ?
What messages do you get ?
After doing what ?
What are you trying to achieve ?
Etc.
Please note that these are basic information that pretty much any person/service looking to help you will ask, be it here on a forum, a service hotline, your car mechanic, and even your doctor.
No one can read your mind, while you know what you did/what happened.
Also a title like "A question for a developer" doesn’t help a lot, as it doesn’t describe what is the issue or your goal.
A much better title could be "TWRP asks me for user 0 password".
Help the others help you !
Xiaomi Mi Mix 3
I update Magisk to v22 via Magisk app
In TWRP i have message: Enter password for user [0]
After update process via app is nessesary to reboot phone, after that it stuck in TWRP asking for password.
Flashing boot.img not help
Flashing same rom without wipe data also doesn't help.
The developer should test the application first. Now I am wasting hours recovering my data and being able to use my phone! It's ridiculous.

If you did not pay the developer, you have no right to complain.
You got a product for free, without any guarantee, and can’t expect any support either.
You are, however, encouraged to try and solve your problem, post your findings here, and help others.
we know that you update Magisk to v22 via Magisk app the question is how you "install" it... most devices would not have magisk pre-installed on there system

This is a much better report !
I hope someone will be able to help you out.
I wanted to install using the first option in the application. The terminal showed up, performed some operations and wanted to reboot the phone. After that, only TWRP starts.
It look's like my boot.img file is not patched by magisk, and thats why im stuck in twrp.
There is any way to patch my image without Magisk apk?

@QVA There's no need for you to keep opening threads regarding the very same issue. You're currently posting about the very same issue in this thread and these two others:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/camera-stop-working.4248233/
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/magisk-v22-update-encrypted-my-phone.4248421/
Keep everything in one thread, it makes it easier to follow the discussion and it keeps clutter in the forum down (please also note forum rule #5).
I suggest that you decide which thread you want to keep discussing this in and report the others for closure (I'm not a moderator in these forums, or I would have helped you with that myself).
Here is the file:
boot.img
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I also tried to remove Magisk but it failed:
Thanks for your time, but the file you sent did not solve the problem.
Still booting into twrp screen.
you device don't run a/b partition like boot_a.img and boot_b.img??
I don't know, it's a normal phone with a normal system. There is a single boot.img file in the system archive.
looking at the magisk uninstaller log you have error "Boot image is patched by other programs! Cannot uninstall!" lmao you really messed up
why don't you just do a factory reset?
I do not want to lose 100gb of photos and application from the bank.
By the way @QVA, was your device encrypted before all this?
And have you tried the default TWRP decryption password (default_password)?
And judging from that photo you posted of the TWRP flash screen you were using an ancient uninstaller... Better to try the current (just rename the Magisk apk to uninstall.zip).
Hi. I am new to this site.
I want to root my Redmi Note 11 but I don't know how to.
I tried looking up online but all I could find were guides on other devices. And outdated too.
I read about Magisk and Magisk Hide which allows you to pass SafetyNet but I also read that it's developer joined Google. So I don't know if it will work or not.
Please help me.
How can I root my phone and pass SafetyNet?

The first step is to unlock your bootloader which usually takes a week. Do that first, then you can browse more and wait for answers while you wait
I have already requested Mi for permission to unlock bootloader. I had to wait 5 days and today is the last day.

Make sure to backup all your data before unlocking bootloader as it will wipe them.
I strongly recommend flashing Xiaomi.eu Stable ROM first as it offers more features than stock and also, you don't have to look for the boot.img again. But in case you want to keep it stock, you want to find the flashboot ROM with the exact same version as the one you have right now and extract the boot.img from it. Then you want to get magisk on your phone, transfer the boot.img to your phone, patch it, transfer it back to your computer, and then use ADB to flash the boot.img

Thank you for replying.
I am quite newbie in rooting.
I can understand enough to follow your instructions but not enough to really know what I am doing.
Can you please elaborate each step and what it does?
Or maybe refer me to a trusted guide where I can understand the tidbits.

I think this sums it pretty well: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/installing-miui-eu-rom-and-root.4426937/
- Backing up data: Back up your data so it won't be lost during bootloader unlock
- Unlock bootloader: allows you to flash into your phone
- Flashing Xiaomi.eu (optional): Their ROM is based on MIUI Global/China which has way more features than region based ROMs and no bloatware. Cons is you have to manually update it and you can't update system apps (as they're also modified to disable ads). Pros is, you know the version you just flashed and the boot.img is also there.
- Finding boot.img: This is the file you want to patch if you want to root your phone. You can find this by extracting the fastboot ROM and it should be inside. In case of stock MIUI, you have to download the exact version that you have right now on https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/ , get the flashboot version, extract, and boot.img should be inside
The rest should be explained in the post above and I think this will also help in installation of Magisk https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
@notBradPitt Hey, is this the correct fastboot rom for my device?

Yes. After unlocking bootloader, make sure USB debugging is enabled (because you just reset the phone), boot into flashboot mode, and run the "first install" script. Make sure your cables are connected properly so it doesn't corrupt any files. First time booting will take around 15-20 minutes for me, so this is normal and you shouldn't panic.
After that you can continue with the root process. The boot.img should be in "images" folder. Once you are done with it, you can try the tools listed here (https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-pass-safetynet-android/) to pass SafetyNet. You can test the SafetyNet using the tool in Magisk or you can use YASNAC (from Google Play or GitHub)

No problem How do you like it? Have you proceeded with root yet?

It's nice.
Xiaomi eu is certainly cleaner than stock. Adless and bloatless. It has new features although some of the stock's features are missing. Play Store is jittery for unknown reasons.
And when I try to open a file in another app, the app list appears quite late and it's laggy too. But that's all and I don't mind it.
Thanks again for recommending it.

Yeah. Rooting with magisk is so easy. And it's uninstallation is easy too.

Yes, data is only needed when you request for permission
Assuming you have unlocked the bootloader
Step by Step Guide:
1. Download Magisk APK and install it
2. Patch your Recovery (Stock, TWRP, Skyhawk, etc) in magisk app and copy the patched img to Computer
3. Switch it off, then boot to bootloader, and type "fastboot flash boot recovery_patched.img" where recovery_patched.img is your file name.
4. Reboot (Might take longer than usual) and open magisk to confirm the the result of actions.
