[Q] Root Zenfone 5 / Xposed on Zenfone 5 - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I just bought the Zenfone 5 from Asus (bought in India). The model number is ASUS_T00J.
I need help/directions on rooting. The only reason I am rooting my phone is to be able to run the Xposed modules..So if theres a way to do that without rooting, that would be perfect.
Thanks!
~Nick

Yes, this root method works. But make sure you have disabled your wifi/data connections before rooting.

Flashed a rooted CustomROM but phone remains unrooted?

Hello,
I flashed several rooted Custom-Roms, but my Nexus 5 remains unrooted.
Is there any beginner's mistake from my side?
Thanks
Sometimes you need to enable root in developer options.

Flash this zip http://download.chainfire.eu/351/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip with a custom recovery and install the superSU app from the Play Store bro. Do you have usb debugging enabled in developer options?

Tap on your build # under settings to enable developer settings.
Also make sure SU files are up to date.

I now flashed a different ROM and it works flawlessly, thank you anyway

Help, about a app and root please. Nexus 5

Today I decided to go back to stock. And so I did and the i rooted.
But i inatalled GMusicFS and it says i don't have root, even having SuperSU and other APPs say I have. Can anybody help me with that?
Personally I think it's an issue with the app. It does not appear it's been updated for marshmallow.

phone Huawei MATE 9 blocked

Hi,
I tried to root my phone and I succeded :
- Bootloader unlocked
- TWRP OK
- ROOT OK
But when I tried to install AMR64 ZIP GAPPS with TWRP, my phone doesn't boot no more...
I tried to install stock rom on DLOAD with all STOCK ROM :
MHA-L29C432B126 -
MHA-L29C900B125
MHA-L29C185B126
MHA-L29C636B136
MHA-L29C10B136
With VOLUME -and+ at boot, but INSTALL FAILED always...
I tried also to use eRecovery but I'm connect on wifi and that's don't work -> BLOCKED on step "GETTING INFORMATION PACKAGE"
I tried to flash stock recovery but it's the same...
when I reboot on recovery, even the wipe factory reset do 1 2 3 4 ----- 28 % and stop !
My Bootloader is unlocked, it's for that ?
Do you have IDEA to restore STOCK ROM or CUSTOM ROM WITH TWRP ?
MY PHONE IS DEAD :crying::crying::crying::crying:
Try FunkyHuawei. DLOAD on the Mate 9 only works with specific 'offline' images, I believe only a single one leaked so far. This device is virtually unbrickable with FunkyHuawei.

Are you using the phone on AT&T? If not it's not possible due to it being locked down. If you are on AT&T you may not have a correct data plan

Since your running MM sadly you cannot. You might can try a 3rd party app in the play store.

Sorry but that's to be expected with US carrier models in general. But In my experience I've used PDANet without issue.

I got ATT LG G4 unlocked non-rooted with android 6.0 H8101020n on it.
Ended up with rooted Android 5.1 H81010o with working tethering.
Steps:
1) downgrade to H8101010o using this method:

You just gave dangerous instructions, remember The OP is running MM 6.0, if they're running the latest version they cannot downgrade and attempting can fully brick there device.

There is a methode that i have recently found working for all AT&T mobiles :
1) Download "Settings Database Editor" in appstore
2)Open that app and find scroll until you find a setting named "tether_entitlement_check_state", click on it
3)Click on "edit value"
4)You will find a number down to "edit setting" (5 or 4 usully), remplace them by -1
5)Click on "save changes" and enjoy

Safe rooting tool?

I was wondering if kingroot was safe, because it looks pretty sketchy to me. Also is Amazon Fire 5th Gen SuperTool a safe tool to use when rooting?
I am going to root a "LG L22C Power"
Thanks!

The best way to root is download compatible root file to your phone and flash it...
