thanks, the first prerequisite is the stock boot.img,, i tried backing it up using miracle box but encountered the 'unstable port' problem, what other possible ways i could extract the boot.img from my phone ?
and btw, i remember asking a guy somewhere and he told me that magisk won't root my device, is that true considering it's a less-known manufacturer ?

I'd try the TWRP route instead. I found this thread after about 2 minutes of searching on XDA (search words "infinix note 4 x572"):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/infinix-one-support-root-twrp-firmware-t3695803
It's a really good idea to use the XDA search, because it often works quite good.
If you want to keep the stock recovery on your device, you can actually just boot the TWRP image instead of flashing it. In that case, the command used in that thread:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
should be changed to:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
If that doesn't work, you can actually make quite easily make a backup of your boot image in TWRP and then patch that file in the Manager, to see if that works better.
If things don't work out in TWRP, make sure to provide the recovery log.

It's very possible... It depends on how stock the Manufacturer has kept Android on your device, what chipset the device has, and so on...

thanks alot for the quick responses, i will try it and reply as fast as possible
okay, i downloaded the twrp recovery image for Note 4, flashed it using Fastboot method successfully,
the problem is when i try to boot into the twrp recovery mode, i tried holding the power menu+ vol.down buttons, it sends me into a black screen with "factory mode" upwards in yellow, no button is working.
i then tried
Code:
adb reboot recovery
the phone reboots and says "No command" under a red triangle.
i then tried to flash the twrp img using sp flash tools, and flashed it successfully but the same errors occur, i can't seem to be able to boot into recovery mode.
i looked up for a solution for the "no command" problem, here's one:
I faced the same problem with nexus 6p. It works when you root immediately after flashing the TWRP. Keep the superSU file in the storage. Get into bootloader. Flash TWRP via fastboot. Without restarting anything, just press volume up/down buttons while in the bootloader to select recovery. TWRP will open. Flash the SuperSU.zip. Then restart the system. Next time, if you open recovery, you won't get the "no command". If you don't flash SuperSU and you try to open recovery later, you will get the "No command".

what i understood is that i shouldn't reboot my device using "fastboot reboot" , he says i should get into recovery mode directly without restarting, idk how to do that since there are no option for it on the screen, i just have
Code:
=> FASTBOOT mode...
on the screen !

unfortunately i never used the sp flash tool before, so i tried flashing a stock rom but the device is now dead with "dram failed" error, i'll try fixing this first
It's tricky trying to help with a device you don't have...
Did you manage to boot to recovery? Usually you use the volume buttons to select the options and then the power button to confirm. You could also just use the fastboot boot option command I wrote earlier. It'll boot straight into TWRP.
There are a few threads for your device around, so if you need help specific to your device, that's the place to go...
everything is fine now,, fixed the device by flashing a rom named (X572-H5312CE-O-180203V55) then used magisk app to patch the included boot.img, flashed the patched boot.img using sp flash tool,, and everything is working fine now,,,
thanks alot
the twrp from the post you provided is for an older firmware, this is why i couldn't get into recovery after i flashed the provided twrp img,, there is no available twrp for the oreo version of the firmware, but i requested one from twrp builder project,, thanks alot, i've learnt alot in the last 24 hours

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!!

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.

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"

I've got my new OP3 today and what I've noticed that it runs with Oxygen OS 3.2.5. So I have looked around and saw that nobody backed up their 3.2.5 und uploaded it so I decided to do it.
Here is the download link: https://mega.nz/#!PJhzRDyL!wX12zmq9ptiu8gNbtfQfypB2Q6wGdu3IfNFFwi9acQk
The only requirement is an unlocked bootloader as fastboot doesn't allow to flash on locked devices
How to install:
via twrp:
- boot into twrp recovery
- press "install"
- press "install image" on the bottom right
- select the image and confirm on which partition it should flash
(not recommended) via fastboot:
- boot into fastboot
- use these commands to flash it:
ignore the little warning message and pe patient because it can take a while till you get a response from cmd because fastboot splits the image into 6 parts
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
Note: if your phone isn't booting, flash supersu and it should boot.

Can you comment on the LTE reception and performance? It was the only issue i had with 3.2.4
Anyone tried looks tempting

TWRP is working, fastboot not.
Im on 3.2.5 now so yes its working, but only with TWRP

Worked as described in the first post.
I flashed both files, followed by the latest SuperSU 2.78 and Xposed,
then did a reboot.
All works well!
So, I will not lose my data, right?

Then there is probably no way to install this to your device, as a user already said that using fastboot does not work.
I also think that your bootloader should be unlocked for this to work.

So basically you should have unlocked bootloader, supersued, and TWRP'ed

SuperSU is not needed, why should it be? With this you overwrite the whole System partition, thus removing all mods including SuperSU and Xposed.
waiting for someone to confirm the LTE issue resolution.. if it's resolved, I'll flash this ASAP..

Pick your brain for a moment if you don't mind...
Still having issues with both methods... in TWRP, at the install image screen i'm only getting boot and recovery partition options, supposed to have system too right?
Fastboot it hangs for a moment at an error of something about invalid sparsing but continues to flash, apparently successfully, but when i reboot system it just boots back to recovery.

managed to get twrp working on YB1-X90L (Yoga Book - Android - LTE)
it's my very first try to create sth. like that, so I have absolutely no idea if everything works as it should. (took the twrp from yoga tab 3 pro root thread and changed it to fit my device mainly using this guide and some minor changes on my own)
if you want to try, you do it on your own risk. if sth. breaks, please don't blame me!
I strongly suggest not to flash it, but just boot it via fastboot:
1. download recovery
2. make sure adb is working
3. put the recovery into your adb folder
4. unlock bootloader (attention: unlocking the bootloader does a factory reset. so back up your data before) see here how to unlock bootloader
5. boot into bootloader (either: 'press power + volume up' or use adb typing 'adb reboot bootloader' in terminal
6. open terminal and naviagte to your adb folder (with recovery.img in it) then type: 'fastboot boot recovery_twrp.img' (adapt file name in case you changed it)
7. tablet should reboot and boot twrp
this method does not flash twrp permanently. your stock recovery remains untouched!
!!!BEFORE YOU USE TWRP TO CHANGE ANYTHING, PLEASE MAKE A FULL BACKUP!!!

as i said, it is a beginner's job. so here is what i noticed so far:
twrp freezes after a certain time when not used - I guess it is when twrp goes to 'standby', normally you wake it up again by sliding a button but it doesn't work here.
---reserved---
before you ask...
yes, of course, i have already tried to flash supersu, but unfortunately I had no luck so far. The script always aborts because it fails patching sepolicy of boot.img.
so if anyone knows a solution for this, feel free to help!
edit:
found another way to root, look here
Amazing! I never thought yb would have twrp. I've been looking for a way to install gapps since I bought yb. After my final I will definitely have a try.

to lock the bootloader you must have stock recovery...hopefully you din't flash twrp.
I do not really know, whether locking the bootloader will work flawlessly due to the changes made by root
when you lock the bootloader it will once more wipe all data - so back it up before, normally root should stay (although I don't know for sure)
to lock the bootloader just use the following command in terminal:
Code:
fastboot flashing lock
if you are not sure, try to search xda for more information about relocking.

Do not get me wrong but you say make a full back up with twrp before doing anything but based on your description twrp cant be installed without unlocking the bootloader which in return erases the device.
Is this catch22 or am I missing something here?

as i said, it is a beginner's job. so here is what i noticed so far:
twrp freezes after a certain time when not used - I guess it is when twrp goes to 'standby', normally you wake it up again by sliding a button but it doesn't work here.

So this process messed up your system? Not sure if I understand what is going on there.

Do not get me wrong but you say make a full back up with twrp before doing anything but based on your description twrp cant be installed without unlocking the bootloader which in return erases the device.
Is this catch22 or am I missing something here?

to your first question:
1. well, here we are not talking about backing up your user data but your rom (stock rom so to speak). if anything goes wrong you can always go back to stock.
2. if you want to peform ota update you can't do it with modified system (ota will fail), so normally you must go back to stock, update, root again
to your second question:
it's just a warning that your bootloader is unlocked, nothing more. it shows with every boot and after 5secs just boots normally.
you can easily find out about the advantages and disadvantages of an unlocked bootloader e.g. here on xda.
I can't thank you enough for this. I live in China and was only able to buy the Chinese version of the Yoga Book, which doesn't come with Google Services installed. However, using this TWRP recovery I was able to flash Google Services (and get root) which makes my Yoga Book so much more useful! Thanks so much!
Have got as far as flashing TWRP, but find that any attempt to backup - to internal storage or sdcard - is cancelled. Have checked on googz but cannot find any specific info. Any help would be appreciated

which yoga book version?
did you flash it or booted it?
how about a log (--> advanced --> copy to sdcard)?
is 'mount read-only' in 'mount' deactivated?

Left it overnight and tried again today. It's OK this time. I fiddled with settings, mainly to deselect the read-only system option. Each stage of this process has been pretty frustrating (I'm used to hacking sammy devices - this is first and last time with a lenny). Stuck now trying to get root - it will probably take until tomorrow! btw, ver is YB1 X90F (Europe/UK).
But thanks for taking the trouble to reply. And thanks for giving us the opportunity to hack the YB.
Worked on the wifi version too.
You may not be a developer but you are a pretty smart guy to be able to figure this out on your own, my hat is off to you. I rooted my wifi version of Yoga Book using your instruction and the only notable issue I ran into in the process was that i had to install new Android usb drivers in Windows to get the reboot-bootloader command to work, other than that little hiccup it worked like a charm. One other issue I ran into that was of my own making was that Titanium backup encouraged me to upgrade super user which led to a soft brick, thankfully I'd backed my book up and was able to restore it.
Thanks for taking the time to share this with us because rooting made this device a much better experience.
hi all, Im reslly happy to see the yb can really root. but all i want is to have the google app work on my yb china version.
am not a techy, hence most of the insturction mention here is very strange to me.
if anyone can help to write down the step by step on how to flash twrp and install google app to yb will be great thanks..
please...

If you just want to install gapps, there is no need to root.
1. download gapps from opengapps.org. select x86_64 6.0 version. select nano or micro version if only want google play to be worked.
2. put the gapps zip file into your root of your YB.
3. just follow the instructions of this post to boot into TWRP
4. In TWRP, select install zip file from SD, then select the gapps to install
5. after finish, reboot to the system.
6. Done!

The problem is that I fail to OTA updated after booting into TWRP and install gapps. Anyone can helps?
@danjac Hi, did you keep the boot to bios option in the reboot menu?

WHAT IS TWRP?
Team Win Recovery Project is a custom recovery for Android devices.
It allows you to back up and restore your data, flash custom ROMs to your device, repair broken file systems, and root your device.

password should be the same that you use to unlock the phone when it's up and running. for me it's a pin. at least this is how it worked on my nexus 5x
Great. Now I am stuck in download mode. Does not boot into system anymore.

After rebooting when I didn't have magisk installed after installing PixelExperience img, I am now also stuck in download mode whenever I try to reboot.
EDIT: After switching which partition to boot from a couple of times in reboot menu, I finally got back into a rom. I would suggest that "Whoknowshimself" try to do similar.
Sorry guys you all stuck on Download mode because of the command was written wrong
It was falsh but it's should be flash now all is okay
In case you got download mode loop try to active slot a for june release
Slot b for July
Fastboot --set_active=a
Fastboot --set_active=b
if i'm not mistaken, android version doesn't matter, does it? can i use this on P DP4?
I flashed everything correctly and was able to get into several ROM setups; PixelExperience, RR.
On every ROM though, SIM cards do not work in any slot.
I am in the process of getting back to stock and then I will make a rooted backup of the system with no user setup yet and I will upload the backup somewhere so that others can benefit from my experiments today.
EDIT: It will take me a while to get the backup uploaded etc... so don't hold your breath anybody
EDIT 2: It will be quicker and easier for people to just do the backup themselves before messing around flashing stuff. I can still upload it at some point if someone is in need, but just MAKE SURE YOU TAKE A BACKUP BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE.
Too late for me. I tried switching the active slot but to no avail. I had a backup but it is corrupted
I cannot even flash the ROM through OST. It says ROM does not match.

The way I fixed mine was to flash the patched July boot.img from the root your a/b partitions to both boot a and boot b.
I then downloaded all the zips to downgrade to Oreo from the official firmware and ota thread.
I used the latest rollback from that thread and then the 3 ota patches.
I side-loaded each one and booted the phone between each zip flash.
I am now at stock 8.1 fully rooted with magisk 16.7 with safety net passing completely.

Magisk v16.7 caused random power off after 5 minutes so i prefer using 16.6

Prerequisites:
Knowledge of OEM unlocking from Developer options, adb, and fastboot
Knowledge of QPST in case you encounter bootloop, so you can revert to a reliable stock ROM
Unlocked bootloader (from here)
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

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
