How do I root my Asus zenfone 5? - General Questions and Answers

I read somewhere that there is a routing tool for it , can anyone tell me where I can download it from? Or does anyone know if there is a one click method that will work for it ( I don't have a computer).
Someone please point me in the right direction. Thanks

Here are a couple of links to root guides:
Search on google for Asus Zenfone 5 Root (if you havent already)
Try: asuszenfoneblog. com link
Otherwise, keep on searching if it doesn't work, the instructions in the link are quite confusing but if read properly, will potentially root your device
Hopefully they'll work for you!
Enjoy @dboypipes

I found a 1 click method but when I used root checker it said I didn't have root m I tried it twice

Ok, some OneClick methods dont do what they say, but i recommend trying the one on the asuszenfoneblog .com website, its a bit complicated but its the best option in my opinion!
Message me on XDA if you need any more help, im finished for the night now (UK Time) so, if you need any help, it wont be until the morning @ryan012
Happy to help I hope we can find a rooting solution for this device!

So I tried that zenfone root APK. On that aeus blog but when I checked it with root checker it had no root acsess. The directions seemed simple enough I don't think I did anything wrong but who knows

I just bricked my Kyocera n tried using that for UN brick but no luck

Ok im not sure then, they seem to be the only viable options for rooting this device, i guess it isnt really supported by developers @dboypipes

I have been trying to do so, but I can't get to any ones I know with a pc. I wish mine still worked. I was just reading about mobile odin but its k7nda confused my it said to use device must have root access. I thought it was an apk to root my device.
rooted now but issue not resolved. ..
Well I was finally able to barrow a laptop, so im rooted now.
But the issue of a rooting apk is not resolved. There really needs to be a rooting apk. Aren't tabs ment to be a computer replacement. Well eventually. ?.. So I thats why issue of a rooting apk is not resolved.
What could be done to request an apk be made or better yet were can I find tutorials to give it ago?

Rooting the TF300TG

Hello, I own a TF300TG which mounts 4.2.1 android version, 10.6.2.11 fw.
I'm trying to root it with SRS root (eset32 detected it as trojan, btw) but it keeps failing.
VROOT doesn't even install on my PC (i don't know why, it's written in chinese).
how can I obtain root privileges?

The easiest way is to unlock your bootloader, install a custom recovery like TWRP and then flash the SuperSU ZIP from that recovery.
Make sure you double-check that you picked the right recovery version for your bootloader.

I've found some threads linking to twrp but the link shared in them refer to the tf300t, not tg. I mean this. Is it the same? I'm worried about bricking my device, because it isn't only mine
so where can I get the correct files to download for my tablet?
sorry if Iook like a noob but my phone was waaaaaayyyy easier to root...

Yeah, it is tricky to pick the right recovery version with all those incompatible bootloaders and the new KitKat ROMs needing yet another one to flash properly.
There are other options for rooting, search for motochopper and similar tools, but personally I don't regard them as simple and some of them have been reported to contain malware.
To help you find the right recovery version, first need to know the version of your bootloader. You can find it at the top left of the bootloader screen. The interesting part are the numbers starting with 10. or 9. for really old ones. Then need to know, what ROM you want to root. Using stock Asus ROM?
You can safely use a recovery for TF300T; it is much more important to pick the right version for your bootloader.

I've found this guide (-> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2617298) which seems pretty good, but the version reported working is WW_epad-10.6.2.10, while mine is 10.6.2.11-20131213
what do you suggest me to do? Go ahead and try it or hope one day a more specific version will be released?

The guide looks good to me and should work fine for your boot loader.
Instead of the attached TWRP, you can safely use any TWRP for the TF300T, as long as it has -42 in the name. 2.6.0.0 might be a little buggy, not sure.

Just to confirm that i have TF300TG with JB 4.2.1 and my bootloader is 10.6.2.11 and i have used the link that you quoted in this reply (this) and all work for me just fine.:good:
Kingo (google it) apparently works. so if you dont want to unlock the bootloader and whatnot, try that.
thanks for your answers, first I will try kingo and if it doesn't work I will try the method on the link I posted!

I had tried "Kingroot" and "Framaroot" two days ago. Both of them don't work for F1.
Anyway,thanks for your sharing.:highfive:
There is no working root for Oppo F1 at the moment. Safe rooting methods are not available. The bootloader is locked and fastboot has been disabled.
I'd be very careful about trying to use one click app solutions for attempting to root the device, if you can get them to work. They are responsible for suspicious behavior, such as downloading stuff and installing their own root manager. Beware.
No hope
I tired everything, kingroot, Framaroot, oppo tool, Kingoroot no hope ?
Someone please find a way to root this phone
You still haven't figured out how to root this?

nice :good:
perhaps you can give us more clues :
1. does we need unlock bootloader / not ?
2. it need flashing from recovery (or even flash custom recovery) or only just an apk ?
this is interesting :highfive:
Has anyone tried TowelRoot?
Please help us root this device!
Thank you guys so much!
would using adb and remounting everything manually work? or downloading a firmware update and modding that
It will be much like my Find 7. Need to unlock bootloader to install TWRP recovery so you can flash SuperSU.
The trick is having an unlocked bootloader in the first place. The Find 7 wasn't a problem. Oppo didn't try to lock the user out.
I have an F1 here for my wife. Will root it once a developer has the exploits developed, tested and released to public. Just have to be patient and don't rush in doing risky experiments.
Try changing the launcher so it has a better UI for the daily stuff. ColorOS launcher is a PITA.

lol. uh no.
1: you can't remount system as /rw on a user build (only engineering/userdebug).
2: I think you mean a OTA update for system. Both the firmware and system are signed. You can't just do that.
You can use CVE-2015-1805. I got root via a kernel vuln, then exploited the bootloader to unlock it

Does This CF-Auto Root Trully Works ON G930T

guys i want to root my phone on the fast and very simple way possible.
found this root method on https://autoroot.chainfire.eu
this is the link for the root method https://download.chainfire.eu/982/C...Auto-Root-heroqltetmo-heroqltetmo-smg930t.zip
i did not tryed it my self yet. but if theres a user that rooted their phone that way, let me know.
bump
I don't think this will work unless we get our Bootloader unlocked (which hasn't been done yet as far as i know)
UNLOCK BOOTLOADERS
If you have locked bootloaders, flashing one of these will probably brick your device - with the exception of Nexus devices, which will usually automatically "OEM unlock" and wipe your data !
this is kind of lame.... why chainfire release a auto root if the thevice have bootloader locked down? and onlockable?
Confused myself
I want to say root is possible, there are tons of sites with instructions: https://www.google.com/search?q=SM-...i57j0j69i60.9343j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Of course, XDA doesn't seem to have a specific G930T thread for rooting with instructions, then see threads like this today. I was all set to give it a try, but unsure if should proceed...
Did find this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s7/help/sm-g930t-root-doesnt-void-warranty-t3415936
EDIT: so the one linked in original comment was the bleeding edge root process and seems like had a really high failure rate. Most current I've seen is: http://lifeatsamsung.com/root-t-mobile-galaxy-s7-sm-g930t-2/
Seems a little more clean cut and easy. I'll edit again if I find a newer solution or at least commentary on success/fail
In comments OP posts:
Yes I am planning to make a video tutorial.
Also I used the method provided here (this is Max Lee's website)

So the solution and all the fixes, etc is right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039
Worked for me, no problem. Even installed the debloated, deox'd ROM. Unfortunately after root you will need to follow rest of guide, otherwise you will see some lag issues.
On the other side of it, phone is great, fast, if not faster than before, and got root. Let me know if you would like some screenshots proving a TMO phone is rootable or if can answer any questions

This means that the only rooting method right now isn't as stable as it would be if it had a unlocked bootloader the root right now will cause some issues but they can easily be fix from some of the steps after rooting guides that are in the xda forums and yes it using a Qualcomm processor Witch is pretty much the snapdragon and there hasn't been any luck this past year of getting the bootloader unlocked for full and smooth rooting I'm really ****ty at explaining sorry if your still lost
The Chainfire method he released does NOT work. I'm not sure why he released it...maybe he knows of a future bootloader unlock that we don't know about.

Grandstream - GXV3370 - How to root

Hello guys,
Grandstream released their new android desk phone, the 3370.
I'm not able to root it the way I was doing it on the GXV3275.
Motochopper worked on earlier version of 3275, then I was using KingRoot.
I tried these method on the new 3370, without success.
I tried KingoRoot and One Click Root.
The Windows version of KingoRoot and Kingroot does not work using ADB wifi, so I don't know if it could eventually work.
Do you guys know a way?
gxv3370

Have you tried the Magisk method? Find the Magisk rooting thread here, read it thoroughly there are details about your device that you will need to research to determine exactly how to apply Magisk to your specific device. Details such as whether your device is an A/B partitioned device or if you need to patch the boot.img or recovery.img, etc... Be careful and make sure you understand the details properly.
