[Q] How to ROOT?HOW TO DOWNGRADE?

I have canvas 2 which already had jelly bean when I bought it.It is NOT ROOTED currently. I bought it from snapdeal. I have 32 bit windows 7. I researched alot on the internet, Nothing happened. I read many tutorials on xda developers. Still no use. I want to get back to ICS(ice cream sandwich) and then root it. There was a tutorial on how to downgrade from jb to ics in xda. I tried it. When i put in clockworkmod and do it, and then reboot my phone in recovery mode, there are options like restore data, backup data. I went in restore but nothing happens.I also tried mobileuncletools and selected the recovery image, it says that you need to root first. I also tried the flash method, but again, I have driver problem on my pc. When I choose scatter loading and firmware-->upgrade then insert my mobile without battery or sim card through usb cable, the usb sounds keep popping and nothng happens. After sometime, the flash tool says error. and the green circle doesnt appear. So to downgrade, I need to root. To root I need to flash which I can't. Someone please HELP!!!!!

Wonderful! Does anyone know if how compatible xposed modules are with the new update?

Xposed is incompatible with the ART runtime. That means it won't work on Lollipop.

This thread doesn't belong in Original development,not even in Android development.

Exactly the same happened to me .... !!!!

samsung bootloop
i followed all the steps here and my phone got stuck on boot logo.
didnt have enough time to find a proper solution except doing a factory reset delete and cache delete.
didnt work out for me so i flashed the rom again and now it's working.
is there any other way to root my device without any bootloops?

@Rando81 @davie088 @username0101

i followed your method and it kinda worked. installed recovery, system re root. installed supersu from play and it asked me to update binary. i accepted but it failed to update for some reason and asked me to reboot. i clicked reboot and got stuck at bootloop. i tried clearing dalvik and wipe data from recovery, still bootloop. so i guess it tried to modify a system file which did it wrongly and caused it to fail. either the binary isnt compatible with this rom, although it was compatible with chinese aurora 5.0.1. for now, im back to aurora. has anyone had any success rooting this? ill try tomorrow morning again. thanks

same problem

For all that couldn't succeed with the original SuperSU, use this one
Flash from recovery.
Worked for me.

Had the same problem, this is how I fixed!
I followed the instructions in OP, but was stuck in boot animation.
This is what I did to finally get root.
1. Flash CF-Autoroot through ODIN.
2. It should boot, but the SuperSu app is really outdated.
3. Update SuperSu.
4. It should ask you to update the binary.
5. Try updating through the Normal method.
6. For me it failed, and the app told me to reboot and retry.
7. I rebooted the phone, but the phone was stuck in boot animation (just like with the instructions in OP).
8. (Without wiping anything) I flashed Philz Touch recovery through Odin.
9. I downloaded SuperSu app that is flashable through recovery.
10. Rebooted and finally got root!

Example adb sideload Xposed.zip
Voila! That's how you can flash Zip files​
First Part: Installing CWM Recovery​
NOTE BEFORE
Please make sure to follow the guide carefully and thoroughly as i won't be responsible for any damages caused to your device and also keep in mind that rooting your phone will automatically void your warranty.
MUST READ

Required Files:
CWM & ROOT
Samsung USB Driver
ADB USB Driver
How to install CWM Recovery
After downloading the required files make sure your system has an active Samsung USB Driver or you can simply download it from here
Also don't forget to Enable USB Debugging & Unlock OEM, this can be done by going to Developer Options and make sure to have these 2 boxes checked.
Then go to Lockscreen and Security under Settings and enable Unknown Sources.
With these done we are ready to kick-off!
Step by Step Instructions
STEP 1 : Connect your phone to your computer & Allow access to your device when the MTP Connection box pops up
STEP 2 : Now go to the ROOT J7 PRIME(2016) folder ( you will need to extract the rar file) you just downloaded and run 1-EnterDownloadMode.bat
STEP 3 : Wait for the phone to reboot into Download Mode ( If nothing happens after running 1-EnterDownloadMode.bat then you might need to disconnect and reconnect your USB cable and Allow USB Debugging (Check Always allow from this computer) when it prompts you. With this done, your device should automatically reboot into Downloading Mode.
STEP 4 : In Downloading Mode Run Odinv3.10.7.exe (Found in ROOT J7 PRIME(2016) folder) and click on AP and open

Wait for it to finish (When it says 'PASS!') and after that press and hold the Volume Down, Power and Home Button together ( To get out of download Mode ) and when you see the phone gets rebooted press and hold Volume Up, Power button and Home button to boot into CWM Recovery
STEP 5 : Enjoy! You now have CWM recovery installed

P.S You now have a voided warranty

Did you make sure the boot.img was not corrupt. Maybe try downloading and flashing it again? Sounds odd.

maybe a mismatched recovery/kernel version.
Which version of android are you running? Easiest way to test is just to flash a newer stock Rom. Since you have TWRP, do a full nandroid back up and then flash the latest nougat Rom and it should overwrite recovery. If recovery now works, extract the recovery partition, flash TWRP, restore your data backup and then restore your recovery backup.

got it done now just had to get the right rom for the phone and flashed it over on twrp but know it said it was rooted and then kinda just took itself off of it when doing root check its taking around 30secs to tell me unrooted when before it would tell me if it wqs or wasent in a few seconds

I have done every thing correctly, in original recovery when i press "install update from sdcard" i get "Couldent mount /sdcard" and thats it. iam stuck.
(BTW there is no sd card installed, only internal memory)
how can i resolve this?

I used an external sdcard and all is working, thanks ?

Bootloader open.
ZE552KL bootloader relock isn't working.

Hi,
I would like to revert to stock but i cannot find the original recovery for my ZE520KL (ASUS_Z017D) because on your mega link there is only the original recovery for the Z012D_WW_14.2020.1708.56
Could you add "Z017D_WW_14.2020.1708.56" or indicate which one to use please ?

I want to downgrade from latest stock to a previous version. Do I really need to install the recovery from the previous version?

Now I want to upgrade to 7.0 because it supports VOLTE... do I really need to rollback twrp to the original recovery?

Stock recovery not working.
I have changed the ROM to my Asus Zenfone 3 ZE552KL many times. Tried again this morning,and last night.Failed.
Long story,please be patience with me.
- I managed to get the latest ROM from: https://www.asus.com/ro/Phone/ZenFone-3-ZE552KL/HelpDesk_Download/ (actually i got it from the english version) and installed the latest using the stock recovery.
- Previously i had root on my phone by flashing with TWRP, SuperSu. With the latest firmware from the official Asus site, SuperSu is not working anymore. I tried different versions of Supersu (flash versions and app versions) nothing worked. I was unable to get root back on my phone. For me root is very important.
- If i try to install stock rom's using TWRP 3.02. i can't. TWRP 3.0.2 does not recognize my sd-card, i can only copy rom's into internal storage. NO stock rom (even the old ones from 2016) will install on twrp 3.02.
If i install TWRP 3.1.0 or TWRP 3.1.1 i can access sd-card and install all the rom's. Installing is successful but it will boot about 5 times until i get message "your device has failed verification and may not work properly . The device will shutdown in 10 seconds"
- The solution that i found 1 month ago, is to flash stock recovery, and install using stock recovery a stock rom from asus website. I tried to do this last night & this morning. Failed to do so. Reason: no stock recovery works anymore. You can find stock recoveries here : https://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-88883-1-1.html I also tried to ask for help on that forum, but it won't let me post in that thread.
- I had an old stock recovery, but i lost it. I need a stock recovery that will work. After i flash the stock recovery it gets stuck at "powered by Android" it does not continue from there.
- I can flash back custom TWRP recovery, but even if i install official stock rom it wont boot. I need a working stock recovery, or any solution.
I am stuck . Please help me!
