[GUIDE] Marshmallow Root Guide for ZE500KL

ATTENTION!
You MUST read all the guide BEFORE doing it, if you do it without reading all of it first you may ends up bricking your phone!
Prerequisites:
Asus ZE500KL (may work on ZE500KG, but haven't tested, do it on your own risk) on Marshmallow, NOT LOLLIPOP!
Also, it must have fully booted AT LEAST one time, otherwise, you'll soft-brick it.
If your phone is not on Marshmallow, you can use THIS guide instead​Download and put the unlocker zip file and the SuperSu zip file in the phone
How To:
1 - Install adb and fastboot driver (follow THIS guide)
Now you can connect the phone to your computer​2 - Reboot in fastboot mode with one of the following method:
a -Volume Up while booting up​b -With adb, after enabling USB debugging in developer settings, using:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Now that you are in bootloader, you have to boot in TWRP,
download THIS recovery (is the twrp one) and boot in to it, using this command:
IMPORTANT: DON'T FLASH IT OR YOU WILL GET BOOTLOOP!!!
Code:
fastboot boot TWRP-x-x-x-x.img
(Obviusly the recovery name must be the one you downloaded)
IMPORTANT: DON'T FLASH IT OR YOU WILL GET BOOTLOOP!!!
It should automaticaly enter in recovery.
Now you MUST flash FIRST ZE500KL_BootloaderUnlock.zip, otherwise you'll brick your phone
Btw, the recovery will mount your phone's memory, so you can put now the files in the phone, if you forgot to do it before​
AFTER you installed the unlocker zip, you can install the SuperSu zip
When the install is complete, clear the cache and reboot your phone, now you can enjoy your root!

So.. I'm thinking of buying a ZE500KL and I've been doing some reading on this phone on the forums.. did it really just get unlocked like yesterday? does that mean custom roms from now on?

I would recommend Z00L/T, you will get cm13, official unlock at least.

You Say " May Work On ZE500KG" Is ze500kg already receive Marshmallow Update?

stuck waiting for device
C:\Users\Clynt\Desktop\Android M>adb reboot bootloader
C:\Users\Clynt\Desktop\Android M>fastboot boot twrp.img
< waiting for device >
Ok I don't know where I get wrong but I got this error.
Img file name is ok because I renamed it.
Drivers were installed already.
Developers mode is enabled already.
Windows 7 64bit
Tried rooting this using lollipop and everything went well.
thanks!
UPDATE: i got it. it has something to do with the drivers.

Without opening the bootloader.
Notice. I have not tried it.

Can I install the new update v13.10.7.1 when I opened bootloader.

The twrp recovery is temporary or permanent? If permanent how to go back to stock recovery? Tia

No... when trace a perequisite link Given..
you really need to unlock bootloader first

i think isnt permanent, this step is needed to boot into twrp then flashing a unlockBL..
to make permanent.. the command must "fastboot flash recovery twrp_X.X.X.X.img"
but make sure to unlock bootloader first...

Is it me or everytime I reboot the device after rooted, it's going back to unrooted?
Root is a success tho, great job, OP!
Edit: okay, not every reboot, but after several reboots, then it went back unrooted

Currently rooted on 20i MM, what do I need to do if I want to update? (with root)

Hey XDA,
I'm currently rooted on T-Mobile's H811 version 20i. I just got the stupid update notification and I'd like to get rid of it (by updating to the latest version, and root the phone + install a custom ROM).
I can backup most of my data through Google and all my pictures are on my SD card, so I dont have to worry about losing data through the upgrade.
What steps do I need to take to:
• Update my G4 to the latest version + root
• (dont delete my photos from my SD card)
I'm afraid I'll brick my G4, since I almost brick it the last time I rooted my G4.
Thank you!

You still get over the air update even if your rooted. If you custom recovery it, you will no longer get over the air update from tmobile. Its a good thing i flash my stuff using twrp manager.

Do I keep my root and everything? Or does the root break (like on iOS devices)

Once rooted you will always be rooted unless you delete the root files. For every new version of android comes out, there need to be new method to root your phone. But since you've rooted, you will keep the root even if you updated to new android version. Even factory reset cant get rid of root. you cant get rid of it updating to new version of android. (correct me if im wrong)

Well, I clicked the install button and my phone went into two recovery but it failed to install the update. However , the notification is gone now so I guess that's ok

Lucky you ( Else you would have been stuck on TWRP Screen) till you flash the G4, best way to update when you are rooted and custom recovery installed is to use LGUP. Download latest KDZ file of 20o and flash it via KDZ you will loose recovery only but all your stuff and Root remains.

OMG that would suck, because I am leaving to go to the airport tomorrow so I NEED my phone.
I'm going to update tomorrow in the morning before I go, in case there was some problem.
Thanks man.

Mine is rooted and unlocked on 20i. I flashed TWRP 2.8.7.2. I did remove a couple OEM apps that were a bit annoying. I back-up the 3 suggested partitions, system, boot, data.
Can I update to the OTA using just TWRP or adb/fastboot without screwing the pouch?
Or do I need to take a different route to the OTA?

if you do youll get camear and sound problems... the best way its to start fresh..
download LGUP and h811 20o KDZ. the flash using refurbished this will wipe everything.. then install twrp and root..

I really find LG way more annoying than HTC ever was. This should be a simple process.
Finally got LGUP working on Virtual Box 5.026 running W7, from Mavericks OSX. But it took some doing to get the 20o update in.
Had to add Guest additions to VB in order to enable USB 2 control, so VB would see the LG.
And the proper LG Mobile drivers v4.04.exe.
A restart or 2 of the Mac.
Then ran LGUP, changed the browse extension to .kdz and navigated to the H81120o_00_0613.kdz.
LGUP ran and the G4 restarted a few times over about 5 mins or so.
Can't get twrp flashed.
I get this error: FAILED (remote: unknown command).
So I disregarded and tried fastboot boot twrp-2.img.
File not found.
Ideas?

this from Macs Terminal app or I suppose the equal in Doze 7.
Terminal:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot (drag and drop the twrpxxx.img into the Terminal window)
This will boot you into a "temp" TWRP recovery. Install twrp.img (select .img button bottom right)
Then install SuperSu 2.6.7.zip.

I have J7 prime [SM-G610F] with stock andriod 8.1, samsung experience 9.5 and 1 November 2018 security patch will it still work?

I don't think so. I think the J7 with 8.1 is impossible to root? I can't seem to find an answer on this.

its not impossible to root j7 on oreo..just search here in xda and you will find the impossible is really possible.

Well the TWRP thread has no real answers and this method doesn't work either.

LordBaal19 said:
Which one do you recommend? At which point do I have to install it and then I don't need to install no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0?
EDIT: I think I finally got it. I did it like this:
1. Ok, so the phone as a fresh 8.1.0 system (just flashed the 7.0 and then it updated OTA in a matter of minutes). I enter the phone, enable the developer mode, enable OEM Unlocking and USB Debug.
2. Then I put the phone on download mode, flash the TWRP recovery disabling the auto-reboot on Odin so it doesn't boot to system automatically. This seem important since otherwise the recovery goes back to stock.
3. Then, to get out of download mode I press vol. down and power keys at the same time and the phone turn off. Then I turn on the phone into recovery mode, once in there I swipe into write mode and go to Wipe and select Format Data, type down yes and it says it's done. I go back to TWRP main menu.
4. I connect the cellphone to the PC and in storage I select Mount USB. Then drag the Magisk-v18.0.zip file into the storage that pops up on Windows. Then I saftely remove the device in Windows and go back to the main TWRP menu on the phone. I select Install and install the .zip file without selecting Signature verification or Reboot after is complete. It says is done installing and no errors seems to occur. I employ the button to wipe Cache and Dalvik.
5. I go back again o Wipe and select Format Data, type down yes and it says it's done, again.
5. Then I try to reboot to System, and choose to Do Not Install the TWRP app, and... SUCCESS!! The phone starts again, I config everything and then Magisk is there in the apps. I tried with an app that requires SU and it works!
Thanks for the help.

That's the way I have done it. But if you go on Z3X, select the device (SM-G610M), and you perform some activity like repair IMEI, Z3X detects the root, but it does not detect the Super User.

Beware If you update to new V8 bootloader then rooting and everything will not work. You will be stuck on stock possibly for good

Thank you sir. Amazing is you, works great much better than safestrap and much easier to get into and out of. I hope one day im able to return the favor and help you out with something to make your life easier as you have done with countless people, much appreciated

Thank you so much for all the work you have done here and for injecting this phone with a much needed revitalization.
Now for the first dumb question, what can be flashed? ROMs? Custom Kernel? (Nethunter?) Any idea would ve helpful. Thanks again!

i thinks i updated to "G935TUVS8CRJ1" can i be flash on it?

Quick question. I just used this method to root my phone (v4 bootloader, CRI2 firmware if I'm reading it right). I had been looking at the post [Rom][ALL+CARRIERS_CRF1][Stock_Oreo_Hybrid][Safestrap_Preinstalled]. That one seemed like a good deal because of the followup post on Safestrap flashable zips, like Xposed framework, Extreme Debloater, Dual Speaker, etc....
I didn't consider that ROM because of the big warning Must Be On Stock CRF1, whereas I'm on CRI2 and this looked nicer anyway.
So, just to be sure I understand, now that I've used this method to root my phone I can install all those things and more by using this technique to get into TWRP on my phone. Correct? Further, I can use TWRP in this way to flash anything except a custom bootloader. Yes?
More specifically, all those ROMs listed over in the general Tools Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Development forum that say "for G9350 only", I can use this TWRP to flash those on my G935T ?? Is that right?

Should have been aware of what you are flashing a bootloader update is always an attempt to patch something. Usually root related. It is never to benefit the user. The first indication to me would have been a 4 version jump in bootloader versions all in one shot. I warned people all along that a bootloader change would come one of these days and kill root. Sprint seen it months ago. Tmobile and Sprint can now have there cozy little relationship with one another. I feel bad for you tmobile people. Remember when tmobile was the friendly carrier in the dev community along with sprint as well now they are the most unfriendly carrier in the dev community.

Twrp gives you no more options than you had before. You cannot just magically go flashing anything you want just because you have twrp. You can run a stock rom and mod it a little and that is it

How do you know what bootloader you're running?

No, if your build number indicates that you're on the v8 bootloader, you're screwed for now. If you like the S7's features, you can grab an Exynos. Those you can root and modify to your heart's content. Plenty of custom ROMs available. It's not too expensive either. It's what I'm going to upgrade to, since I'm tired of this bull with the bootloader, and my glass is cracked anyway. Would probably cost nearly as much to repair as to just buy an Exynos.

That's a false positive by a single antivirus program. VirusTotal gives it clean on 54 out of 56 antivirus programs, and one of those is merely "suspicious," probably because it's a rooting tool.

Does the root help battery life/lag at all or does it make it worse like it did in Nougat? Thanks.

Hi,
Will this method of rooting/unrooting trip Knox and void my warranty? If so, is there any way of rooting my S7 G935V Edge without tripping Knox?
Thanks

Currently, I'm pretty sure it is virtually impossible for yout to trip your knox counter by rooting as far as I'm aware the only way to do so would mean you need to unlock your bootloader which cannot be done. Rooting your device will however disable safetynet and knox features such as but not limitted to android/samsung pay ect. This is why it's called east root/unroot though because once you unroot and if you didn't delete knox/google apps, it all should still work. The point of this is of course, so you can modify your phone with ease, then unroot and everything should work properly.
There is a major difference between rooting and unlocking the bootloader.
Just don't do something like attempt to install a custom ASOP rom or kernel that isn't supported by this device since it requires an unloocked bootloader.

I'm so glad I read everything before jumping into anything right away. Haha Verizon and Smart Switch are trying to get me to accept the new update to the V8 as we speak. It's funny how they always seem to have updates when someone like Jrkruse figures out how to let us actually do what we want with our devices. I have learned always read read read before doing anything to any phone unless you want to take an update meant to stop us from doing anything fun with the phones. Good job sir!!

Hello, when attempting to unroot using the supersu app, when i hit Full Unroot in the Cleanup section, the popup window warning about the unroot only has a selection of "OK" when I select that, nothing happens.
Also, the S7E root_unroot_abd_tools.z7 does not have a setup.exe that I saw, I am looking to unroot my phone that I followed the instructions for the S7_Oreo_Nougat_Adb_Advanced_Root_V11.zip method that you ended up moving that thread here.

I downloaded the files for unrooting my s7 edge oreoof this OP, and I downloaded the file for step 3 in the unrooting section of this OP.
The zip named S7_S7E_ROOT_UNROOT_ADB_TOOLS.7z that I received from this OP did not contain a setup.exe as well.
The actual root file and process I followed was from https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/root-s7-s7edge-oreo-nougat-t3819616

I know I'm asking this in two places now... but how do I prevent this? Which firmware version do I *NOT* Update to?
I've finally summoned the courage to upgrade to oreo with the advances in TWRP and such... so I'm assuming I have to flash to stock Oreo....... but which version is the one before v8?
How do I check my version of BL?

Easiest way... Settings>about phone>software info. Look at build number and baseband version. Count back 5 digits. Will either be a 2, 4, or 8

So if I install this U firmware G935UUES4CRH2 I should still be good to root correct? Also, is there any difference between the U firmware and the Latest non V8 Verizon firmware, other than maybe the Verizon bloat? I am running my phone on Verizon just wanted to see if there a difference between the two?
