Hi mates,I am posting this tutorial because there is no Step by Step Tutorial to Root ASUS ZenFone 5 T00F/T00J running Lollipop and a lot of people are finding it difficult to Root their devices.So here we go.
All credit goes to shakalaca for providing the Root Kit.
Before You Begin :
I won’t be liable if any damage occurs to your device during the process.Proceed at your own risk.
This root method is tested by me on ZenFone 5 T00F/T00J (WW SKU ).Make sure your Build number is WW 3.23.40.52 / 3.23.40.60 / 3.24.40.78 / 3.24.40.87 before proceeding (Go to Settings > About phone > Software information > Build number ).Don’t try on any other ZenFone 5 with different Model/SKU.I can’t vouch for other ZenFones/SKU Versions.
Rooting your phone will void the manufacturer's warranty (You can Unroot anyway).
Backup all the important stuff.In case your device is wiped off .Backup your data to PC.You can use Titanium Backup (Root) / Helium to backup your apps and data.
The battery of the phone should be at least 80% charged.
Requirements :
ASUS Android USB Driver - Download Link
ADB Installer v1.4.2 (Credit goes to Snoop05 ) - Download Link
ZF5_LP_RootKit - Download Link 1 / Download Link 2
USB Data Cable
PC
Instructions :
Step 1: Download Zip file (ZF5_LP_RootKit )
Step 2: Extract the root package on your PC using 7-Zip/WinZip
Step 3: Enable USB debugging on your phone [ Go to Settings >About phone> Software information >Build number.Now tap on Build Number 7 times,it will enable “Developer options” in Settings.Again,go back to Settings > Developer options > Enable the USB debugging (by checking the box against “USB debugging” ) ]
Step 4: Install USB drivers (if you haven't installed ) in your PC ( Check the installed Programs list : Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features )
Step 5: Run ADB Installer v1.4.2 to install ADB drivers and setup ADB on the PC.
Step 6: Connect your phone to the PC using a USB Cable.You will get a pop-up saying “Allow USB debugging” on the phone.Tick the check box that says “ Always allow for this computer” and press OK
Step 7: With the phone connected to the PC, run the “ Root “ (Windows batch file ) file by double click on it.Linux and Mac users should run “Root.sh” file.
Step 8: In your PC,a notification will appear in Command Prompt (cmd),asking you to “Press any key to continue… ”. Press any key on the keyboard. The Root process will start your phone will now reboot into fastboot mode automatically and then start flashing the root files.Don’t interrupt the process,let it complete.
Step 9: Once the process is completed,the phone will reboot automatically.Once the rooting process is finished ,in cmd it will ask you “Press any key to continue… ”.Press any key on the keyboard and disconnect the USB Cable.
Step 10: Once your phone is Rebooted.Check if there is any “SuperSU” app installed in the phone,if it’s installed,the process is successful.
Congratulations!!!You have got the Root access. :good:
You can verify the root access on your device using apps like Root Check or Root Checker.
Don’t forget to unroot your device before applying any OTA.To unroot your device,run UnRoot (Windows Batch File) by double clicking it OR in SuperSU settings click “Full unroot”.
Tested by me on ASUS ZenFone 5 A501CG [Lollipop 5.0] [ASUS_T00J_WW_user_3.23.40.60 and 3.24.40.78 ]
Enjoy!!!

I am wondering why it didn't work for you.This method has been reported working for WW_3.24.40.78 and I have tested it myself.
Did you verify the root access on your device using any Root Checker app ?

Thanks for the reply.
The root is not in place, I'll try it again using a win7 pc and factory reset as well, since all my tries were done with win10.

Hello,sorry for the delayed response.I have been a bit busy.Yeah,it should work for v3.24.40.87 firmware as well as it's just a bug fixing firmware which was released to fix the issues presented in Firmware 3.24.40.78
Personally,I am still on 3.24.40.78 as there are still a lot of bugs in 3.24.40.87 and some users are reporting it even worse than 3.24.40.78.So just waiting for the more stable release.:fingers-crossed:
Make sure you backup your data before proceeding.Do get back to tell about the results.
Good luck!! :good:
Hey After rooting I am not able to download app of more 60MB. The download restart by its own and play store gives error 905. PLZ HELPP!!! DEVELOPER!!

NOTE: I will not be held responsible on anything that may happens to your phone... This proceedure is to DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK!! and rooting the phone may void your warranty ..
Its better to try Superoneclick and Unlockroot procedure first before you try this!! this is just your last option when you think both fails to root your phone.
These are the steps I did to successfully root my cheap Alcatel OT-918N (white from SUN Carrier Philippines) in chronological order.
Credits should go to breakk and his team and the forum where it was posted http://www.movilesdualsim.com/foro/threads/9022-TUTORIAL-ROOTEAR-ALCATEL-OT-918-D-(Android-2-3-5) This is the 3rd procedure they suggested I just translated it.. Thanks a lot mates!!!

3. flash tool and scatter.txt --- http://www.mediafire.com/?9w5b5h1ywseljrr
4. EXtract all downloads to a single folder that can be easily located.
5. Backup your files
6. make sure the phone is charged with enough battery then turn the phone off
7. while its off connect the phone to your PC using a USB Cable
8. An unknown device will appear instantly
9. choose to update driver manualy.Depending on the OS you have (xp, vista, 7) install the appropriate driver from STEP 1.
10. If you installed the drivers correctly UNPLUG your phone and you can now proceed to the next step
11. run "Flash_tool.exe" from the extracted files

18. This will initiate a 15 second countdown at the bottom of the window, plug the 918N in the usb port during this countodown (the phone must be off)
19. You will see a yellow bar @ the bottom, wait until it goes reaches 100%. Once this is done there will be a message that will report that you successfully completed the process,also a green/white circle will appear in the flashtool and on the screen of your mobile the battery charging indicator will appear. UNPLUG the phone from the usb port and press the POWER. The phone will start and the Android logo will appear, now just wait a few minutes without touching anything on the phone (buttons or touchscreen), it will take some time to load the system.img. Once the screen displays the menu that asks for password the for 2 SIM cards you are ready, you have succesfully rooted the 918N!!! JUST HIT THE THANKS BUTTON

I did not continue because when I plug in my phone while powered off I see only "MTK65xx Preloader" and another unknown device. The unknown one disappears forever. I chose to manually install the driver for MTK65XX preloader thing with the mobileuncle one. When I reconnect it Windows still tries to install the driver. This might be because the drivers weren't properly installed.
I'm not risking it until this one is cleared up XD I know what to expect from the flash tool, but the driver installation in Windows is unclear (windows itself, not this tutorial)
Edit: LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL I don't know what I just did. I tried Easy Rooting Toolkit and SuperOneClick (again) and magically my phone got rooted. LOL. Dunno what happened there (other than enabling everything under "Development"). Thank you, heavens.

You can reinstall the driver again when it ask you the second time. And once the driver is not installed it will not established a connection to your phone and the flash tool will give you an error saying no device is connected. It will abort the flashing process so nothing will be flashed and all will be the same... The only thing you should be afraid of is when the yellow thing runs and you accedentally stop the process before reaching 100%. And lot of courage is needed as well. Hahaha

And the MTK65XX Preloader is the driver you need to install. When it popup dont choose search automatically, choose the other one and manually locate for the drivers youve download

Sir Jbazt_katuforzs i'm using windows 7 32bit i just can't install the preloader driver and i don't know why. Tried the exe installer and manual but still when i'm connecting it on data cable it can't find the preloader like what "kpbotbot" 's experiencing. The Manual installation is loading a modem driver for the device.

Choose the driver depending on your OS. Did the pc recognized an unknown device when you plug the phone while its off? If not the previous drivers you've installed from superoneclick and unlockroot messes the ports. Try to install it on a different pc running xp. It will only take you 5-10 mins
thanks
at last! I'm rooted! THANKS A LOT!!
thanks for this very reliable and detailed information.. got my unit rooted

hi 4trackmind,
i'm interested in the new 2.3.6 kernel. can you try the steps posted here? www symbianize com/showpost.php?p=11514350&postcount=1
there are 2 sections on that page, flashing a custom recovery image and rooting by using an update. do tell us if both sections work.

able to root
Thanks a lot i was able to root my Alcatel glory!!! next stop installing a ROM
2.3.6 and Rooted..
just want to share, i successfully rooted my OT-918N from SunCellular PH with Android 2.3.6 using the following scatter.txt and recovery.img file.
the procedure is the almost the same. skipping the loading of system.img as we are only after the custom recovery to be able to install superuser and busybox.
another thing is i set the flashtool to USB Mode instead of scanning to com ports... hope you get the same results as i did.

i remember in my y300 i had to get the code for unlock it! maybe it is the same..
Hi there,
I have the bootloader unlocked on VRoot + full root access (with sytem)
1. Install VRoot
2. rooting (green button) - After this, the bootloader is unlocked.
3. Because I do not speak the language and not 100% know what this tool does everything. I flashed b121 via dload method (VOL +/- & POWER).
4. After you have a clean system (step 1,2,3) you can flash a twrp of your chooise.
- So you also get access to / system, I have done the following:
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53291974&postcount=200)
1. changed to super SU of Clockwordmod
2. install BUSYBOX from PLAYSTORE
3. install terminal emulator from PLAYSTORE
4. open Terminal Emulator and type:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
cd system
lsattr
chattr -R -i *
rm –f /system/set_immutable.list
lsattr
After this set_immutable.list should be removed and you should have full access.
NOW i have full root access on my Huawei P7 L10
Or use this tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/asc...eandadjust-t2941186/post56774286#post56774286
It can be delete the immutable.
Edit: you can use b126 and b133 too.

Thanks it works.
RootGenius not unlock the bootloader, but the VRoot unlock.
I had root RootGenius with, but whether Vroot offered to re-root.
Only the Chinese language with supersu was wrong with me, but TitanBackup blocked it, and I use what I know of my language.

Hi guys
This is my first attempt at guides. I recently purchased a Zest T1. and because it's a new device, it does not have proper root packages. So here is a guide for those with that device. This is a simple process.
==========================================

Although the methods used have worked for me, you will perform this at your own risk. I (or any affiliates) will not be held responsible for any damage and/or data loss incurred by this process.

You will need the following:
* Your phone MUST be repartitioned with 20140714_e2101v82_zest (the method that Zest Mobile gave to repart the device)
* Your device cannot be encrypted. MTKDroidTools cannot read the system if your files are encrypted. If your device has been encrypted, remove the encryption to root. You can add it later.
* MtkDroidTools v2.5.3
* ADB (though MTK does have it packaged)
* SuperSU zip install (Found on chainfire's website) - on phone memory
The Process:
[If you have used debugging mode before, then you are ready to go, otherwise, please enable debugging mode in Developer Options]
1) Plug your phone in, make sure that your device is recognised
2) Open Command Prompt
3) Type in the following (this is environment dependant, but to be sure, navigate to where ADB is installed):
adb root
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will restart ADB in root shell mode
4) Open MTKDroid Tools. It should recognise your device in root shell mode (green box in bottom right, if not, then repeat step 3)
5) Click on the tab 'root,backup,recovery' and select 'to use boot from phone' then click on 'recovery and boot' and shortly after a dialogue box will appear asking if you want to 'make cwm recovery automatically' click yes
6) reboot your phone in recovery (via MTKDroid tools or if you are prompted to via above step)
7) You will now be in CWM. Choose 'install zip from sdcard', and select the storage that you downloaded the file to (most commonly 'choose zip from internal sdcard, downloads)
8) Install the zip and reboot.
This is a very high-level overview. If you need more clarification on anything, let me know.
==========================================
Disclaimer:
Although the methods used have worked for me, you will perform this at your own risk. I (or any affiliates) will not be held responsible for any damage and/or data loss incurred by this process.

This process is to install CWM in order to flash SuperSU.
Place the SuperSU zip on your phone memory (or SD card, whatever works for you). If you have run steps 4-6, then reboot in recovery (either via MTKDroid tools, or adb reboot-recovery). If you have not run steps 4-6, start there.

CWM, or ClockWorkMod is the recovery part (amoung others) of your Android Device. This is where you "flash" zips to your phone. In step 5, you actually install this to your phone.
5) Click on the tab 'root,backup,recovery' and select 'to use boot from phone' then click on 'recovery and boot' and shortly after a dialogue box will appear asking if you want to 'make cwm recovery automatically' click yes

If you don't follow this step, the stock recovery won't be able to flash your device. Also, have you repartitioned your phone (with the Zest approved method)?

Nothing happens at the last step where you said to take out the battery then click download and connect the phone to the PC. Nothing happens the phone just shows the Actel logo and then vibrates and turns of then back on over and over. Any ideas?
Note I did not do step 5

Use my unbricking method to restore your device, and i don't think Step 5 should be a problem.
Phones not in boot loop it works fine. Just nothing happens when I click download and connect the phone without the battery.

Just for the record :
I was not able to connect the device to the tool even though all the drivers were installed and everything. So what I did was, I opened iRoot and let it connect to the device and waited till the (device is rooted screen) appeared. Then I re-opened the MTKDroid software and it worked afterwards.
Yes, I took full backup and it is working. Haven't tried to restore it but atleast it takes full backup and looks legitimate :good:

I gave the root permission for mtk droid tools on my mobile. When I open SuperSU in my honor holly it shows that adb has been granted supersu permission. But still the mtk tool is showing the same error again and again . I have tried it many times. I have micromax doodle 3, it works fine there but is showing this error in honor holly.
Bro I would also like to ask one more question. My phone gets heated up near the camera at the back when I play games and watch videos. Is there any solution for it. Please do reply. Thanks in advance.
