Does it work in version WW_14.0200.1708.324_20170826?
and to install TWRP and Do the Root, how is it?

How about rooting?
Now that there is a way to unlock the bootloader and install twrp, can you advise on how to root the device?

Thank you so much..
My device is now Unlocked.
Root, magisk, xposed running smoothly..

Just follow that method to Unlock bootloader then flash the TWRP from Adb..
For root just install latest official supersu zip file from TWRP..
Done.. Your device is rooted.

In order to root there are various ways, I did it the way I am use to with supersu, just reboot in TWRP and flash the latest supersu zip from here.
http://www.supersu.com/download
If you don't want to flash twrp you can achieve systemless root with magisk, just search there are plenty of tutorials.
After that you would probably need to install buysybox, then you can use root explorer to remove any stock app that you don't like, you can flash a new bootanimation, I flashed the zenfone 4 one, possibilty are endless.
Have fun.:laugh:

Does this work on the latest nougat firmware?

new firmware update
OK, there is a new update Version WW-14.0200.1710.336.
Just updated the phone myself without problem and kept root, this is how...
Download the full firmware update from this page https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-3-Max-ZC553KL/HelpDesk_Download/
Copy it to your device, make sure you also have a copy of supersu.zip and twrp.img.
Reboot in TWRP mode, press install and select the new firmware that you have copied on the device, once done, repeat install with supersu.zip, once done repated one more time install this time select the install image option and install twrp.img.
Reboot and you should be updated and rooted.
P.S. If you did not unlock bootloader and root before update, try the all process to unlock and root, following the guide at the biginning of this post.
Have fun...:laugh:

Can you move it to a google drive?
Hello,
Can you upload the folder contents in a google drive instead?
I don't have a MEGA.
Thanks!

OK so this is what you do....
Place the twrp.img file in your adb folder,
reboot phone in bootloader mode,
press shift with right button on the mouse and open a command prompt inside adb folder,
type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
type
Code:
fastboot reboot
and while you press volume down, press enter, if you have done everything right, phone should boot in TWRP.

[Q] 2 Issues when rooting: No SU binary installed, & red triangle on dead android.

[Q] 2 Issues when rooting: No SU binary installed, & red triangle on dead android.
This is my second root ever, I am still very new to this process but my first root went smoothly.
So basically the problem started when I copied the SuperSU file onto my phone using the command
adb push UPDATE-SuperSU-vX.XX.zip /sdcard/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After that, I tried finding the zip file through the TWRP recovery screen but I couldn't. I figured I'd go reboot my device. Once I pressed on reboot, a screen popped up asking if I wanted to install SuperSU, "ok cool" I thought and swiped to the right to install. At this point I thought my phones rooted.
I open up SuperSU and I get the error message:
There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!
If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device!

I'm on 4.2.2
I decided to go back to recovery mode and that's when I saw the red triangle over the dead android. I thought I had bricked my phone but i'm back to my regular home screen.
Can anyone help me please?
How did you apply TWRP? Did you boot it or flash it. If you chose to boot it, the custom recovery won't stick.
The dead android you are seeing is the stock recovery.
My advice is to boot back into the bootloader and flash the recovery, then flash the SU,zip

The red triangle with the android is just the stock recovery. What commands are you using to flash TWRP? I'm assuming you unlocked the boot loader.
You should type in "fastboot flash recovery name_of_twrp_file.img"
Download the supersu.zip from http://download.chainfire.eu/376/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.89.zip and put it on your phone while the phone is on and connected to a computer. (Just drag it in)
Then reboot into TWRP and flash that file.
Say NO..again NO to the part when it asks you if you want to root. It shouldn't ask you, but if it does, say no.

I mentioned above in my first reply that I flashed the recovery using this command "flashboot flash recovery recovery.img"

Maybe, try using the new zip. Flash TWRP again. It shouldn't be going back to the stock recovery when you reboot unless you chose to just boot it and not flash it.

Yeah just download THIS FILE first then boot into the bootloader and type in "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.4-hammerhead.img" without the quotes in a CMD window.
After it says finished, use the volume keys to select "Recovery Mode" and press the power button to go into it. Then flash the supersu file that you transferred earlier. (the new version).

Try adb sideloading it.
Put the Su.zip on your computer in the same folder as your adb.exe
Choose adb sideload on twrp.
Then the command: adb sideload SU.zip

Yep! I didn't know what the file was named so I just shortened it up to SU.zip
Pro-tip: You can rename files to something shorter such as SU.zip to make it quicker to type in command and eliminate the possibility of mistakes.

You are welcome. I am always glad to help someone doing things the right way!
Run an app that requires root. If SuperSu requests access, you are rooted.

[Q][D2303] How to root with unlocked bootloader?

Hi guys! Im on 4.4.4 with unlocked bootloader, the only way to root this device that i found on the internet is to use locked bootloader tutorials.
Is there any easy way to root unlocked bootloader D2303 on 4.4.4 18.3.1.C.1.15? I tried flashtool but when it installs towel root and i press make it rain! it says this device is not supported. Thanks in advance!
Here is one easiest way, but its over chinese app called KingRoot.
1. Download latest KingRoot.
2. Press Root button
3. Allow USB debug in Developer settings(Tap 10 times in Phone info on Build number to get Dev. settings)
4. Install Philz Recovery
5. Flash SuperSU V.249 BETA! Important!
6. Flash RICDefeat.zip
Same way is described here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-m2/general/how-to-permanently-root-xperia-m2-t3106534
But dont forget to flash SuperSU V2.49 BETA and RICDefeat & remove KingRoot apps.

Update your bootloader using emma, then flash a recovery like CM12.1 Recovery from here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/lfub133wy5833bx/recovery.img and flash with it SuperSU zip and RICdefeat. Then you're done.

Actually that's a locked bootloader method.
And Kingroot also sends your IMEI info to chinese unknown servers...

Go in fastboot mode and run fastboot erase recovery .
Again, I see no reason why this could be happening as this recovery runs in it's partition, isolated, so if you don't run it (Vol- button from the beggining) then it should not interfere with device boot up. Try flashing the latest kernel from the .15 ftf also.

No, it shouldn't as the problem only was the GPIO Keys... Not screen driver problem... But yes, looks like you can't use the CM Recovery.
Format your fastboot partition with fastboot erase recovery and use the locked bootloader procedure... What a pity.

Oh, Ok I can see, I have to wait :/
is there any difference between ta-1028 and ta-1032 in TWRP view ?
it is easy to try just boot into recovery - "fastboot boot <recovery.img>"

i know that ta-1032 is for EU dual sim, ta-1028 is american single sim version but i think that there is no difference in hardware. he can try that command to see is that recovery works @xdrucsix
Steps:
first download twrp if you didn't
rename recovery to recovery.img and move it to platform-tools
open cmd as administrator
type location of platform-tools
boot to fastboot
type command
fastboot boot recovery.img
then you will see does it boot or not. twrp will disappear completely after you exit twrp.
I did every step that you say, nothing happened :/
something should definitely happen
at least show all fastboot.exe output during your tries

link for twrp
https://1drv.ms/u/s!AsmTb5aqoY12mDZqDZbPOp47QVMV
when downloaded, copy twrp to folder platform-tools and rename it to recovery.img
to type platform-tools location, type this:
chdir C:/Users/John/Desktop/platform-tools (this is just a example, you need to type your own location of platform-tools)
reboot to recovery
adb reboot recovery
then reboot to bootloader (fastboot) by pressing volume keys.
to flash recovery type this command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then reboot, fastboot reboot
if it didn't worked, use this command just to boot to twrp (you need to do this everytime when you are connected to PC)
fastboot boot recovery.img
To install root, first disable system modification on twrp then flash this zip for root.
This is not the latest version of SuperSU, but newest releases have some problems and crashes. (at least for me). This is last version that works for me.
That is it.

no, you can't have locked bootloader and root, after locking bootloader you need to reflash .nb0 file with OST because locking bootloader don't just remove data, it removes whole ROM.

Alcatel 9001D Pixi 4 6 4g [msm8909] - Root, Recovery, Rom -

Hi, I finally managed to port TWRP recovery, which boot on 9001D. This allows to do the permanent root, to modify the stock rom and possibly to install other roms.
Recovery is still unstable, I need help to make it stable!
Then, now Available for 9001D:
- TWRP
- Root
- Modded Stock Rom

Mmmm , better to use command
"fastboot boot recovery recovery.img"
If
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Can be dangerous if recovery isn't built from source and the port is bad ...if port works using "boot" command maybe try to flash it ...
But I found another recovery to use as a base for my port , thanks !
*Also my BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED BY VODAFONE*
So anyways my port will be useless...

Yes , they have worked for me in the past but on other phones. Your bootloader must be unlocked and remember to use the command without the quotation marks ..""
*You should also rename your recovery to recovery.img AND VERY IMPORTANTLY put it in your adb or fastboot tools root folder.
Then if you installed adb and run a command window BUT FROM INSIDE the tools folder where the recovery image is and run the following commands one by one it will work if your drivers are installed and your bootloader is unlocked
adb devices
*Return a serial number for your phone in window
adb reboot bootloader
*phone should boot into bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
*will unlock your bootloader if you press volume up
fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
*The recovery should boot ( if it boots and you can make a backup to SD card successful ly
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

You need to use a patched boot.img to get root on this device as there is no fastboot. There are guides online on how to use magisk to patch the boot.img and then flash that to your phone. That will give you permanent root after which you will be able to install twrp. If you flash twro without root or a patched boot it will remove it each time you boot up.

I Cross-Flash G710ULM20 GFI

I cross-flashed G710pm to G710ulm20e USA. Thanks OP and lge.fun
I only have to ask if you should let magisk manager download and install the updated zip (20.1). I decided not to because it may break the rooted boot image.

To zero it out use adb shell or the termrnial app then su
The do:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/laf_a
To get into download mode:
Theres two ways#
1. Get into fastboot mode and set current slot to b
Code:
fastboot --set-active=b
then reboot and hold the up button while its connectrc to your pc and you should be able to get into download mode
2. Boot into twrp, then tap reboot in the menu and on the bottom it should say slot a or b and select b. Then reboot. Dont worry about not being able to mount.

Is that for installing a custom rom?
Then do you need to do this?

Can you show the full details of your method, as I'm tried patch both img and it's work, but when I boot to download mode and connect to PC and open LGUp, it's always show unknown model, try flash the img it in fastboot many time, it's always happen like that

First don't call a tutorial trash cause you didn't do it properly and you didn't even detail the problem properly. . Second, make sure you're still on 11g firmware or go back to 11g firmware via download mode of you're not and then flash the abl partition from the unlocked bootloader tutorial if you havent used that abl. Then fastboot flash rooted 11g boot_a and boot_b file then reboot to firmware and make sure it boots all the way up and restart your PC then try going into download mode again if it works go into fastboot flash the 21ulmd booted rooted image both a and b then immediately restart to download mod
I'm on g710ulm11g and I'm rooted, updated the magisk to 20.1, now do I have to boot to fastboot and boot the twrp20ulmrooted img to boot_a and boot_b and then boot to download mode?

Noo. Fastboot flash 21ulmrooted to both a and b then reboot to download mode.
question: I am rooted with magisk and on ULM21d. I have extracted the image file and renamed it "twrp21ulmdroot.img" and put this file on my internal storage /sdcard. When I run the command dd if=/sdcard/twrp21ulmdroot.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot_a in adb shell (as root #) it keeps giving me a response of dd: /sdcard/twrp21ulmdroot.img: No such file or directory. The file is actually there. Any ideas?

Are you sure you didn't name it twrp21ulmd.img.img? Or reboot the device.. Make sure it's where the Download, pictures etc.. folders are.

When I'm try to boot the twrp20ulmrooted to boot a and boot b, bcoz I want to root on g710ulm20e, then in command it's show up: cannot boot a boot.img *and* ramdisk, so what exactly command I have to use in adb and fastboot?

sir, your tutorial worked perfectly for me- I now for the first time since owning this phone have a custom recovery. Thank you for your help :good:
Edit: my problem earlier was that the image file was not installing to my internal storage in the right place for whatever reason... /sdcard was not available when searching my int storage. So I dropped the file into 'Download', then used Advanced tools pro file manager to grab it and paste it into the parent directory. At that point the shell commands worked
