I got a replacement Tab from sony and I'm having trouble rooting it with the updated firmware. Seems the only real way to do it is to have a custom recovery installed, however I am having trouble with that. When I try installing a recovery through fastboot flash command I get an error FAILED: Remote: Command not Allowed.
The installer version of XZDual just hangs at install.
Has anyone else on Verizon tab found any other ways of rooting after the latest update?

You have to downgrade firmware off 4.4.4 and root,
Got it working. I didn't know I had to have the unknown sources checked. Also I didn't realize I was plugged into a 3.0 port in the back of my PC, so that didn't help. Thanks for the help.
I have a Verizon Z2 LTE SGP561 with the latest update of 4.4.4 and i managed successfully to Root it with the latest KingRoot apk.
It was very easy - just download the KingRoot apk to your device , run it from the device and it will do the work.
After it will complete you will have KingRoot user which is the superuser app for permission, no need to install SuperUser of SuperSU.
I checked with root-checker to verify and indeed it was rooted.
even though the bootloader is locked you are rooted.
I managed to remove all Verizon bloatware apps.
You can find the latest KingRoot apk in the following link:

Thanks, I'll try this if I get another replacement device. This one has a dead pixel in it.

I've made a terrible mistake.
Unlocked the bootloader successfully then tried flashing superuser, then wiped all, then tried installing CM11
Apparently I never got root successfully and now the device has no ROM at all.
It won't write CM11 and I can't throw a stock rooter tmobile rom in the TWRP directory to try that.
"Error executing binary in zip"
did I just wreck the device?

You might try to run the RUU 5.14.531.11 of course it will wipe all of your data if you didn't save it before your issue. If you are S-ON, you will need to lock your bootloader after you successfully run the RUU you can unlock it again using your same unlock code.

Hey, can anyone help me. I just wanna install current twrp version cause its necessary for an Android 4.4.4 custom rom. When i rooted my phone today and installed twrp 2.5.0.1 and Android 4.2.2 CynaogenMod 10.1 all worked fine. Found out this version is to old to run Android 4.4.4 installation so I tried to update to newest trwp version and getting an error now. When i go to pink screen on phone and execute fastboot flash recovery i get the report "waiting for device". googled this and google says "driver is not installed" when having this issue. Wanted to reinstall the "Huawei_usb_driver_2.0.6.601" driver on Windows 8.1 but there is no uninstall.exe. How to reinstall this driver or what i need to do to fix this issue? Unfortunately flashing worked before....
Also tried to run GooManager but it didnt find any new version of twrp.

Should be able to use Flashify.
So, here I'm stuck with the z3v after my 6plus sold to my uncle. Running E.44 and the root method seem not working, I already install the king root and can't replace with the superSu, keep saying "fail to update, reboot"... and trying to degrade firmware and the flash tool keep said "can't reconize device, check the driver....." Saw topic with instruction to kkng root temperary and "dual recovery" what's the dual recovery is it?
Is it possible that verizon will open bootloader for z3v??
install kingoroot and then recovery and then install prerooted firmware through recovery
no need to unlock boot loader... it's direct method

Follow my guide as worded. You've done the first step in rooting it with Kingroot. Now you need to use the dual recovery installer to install the custom Android recovery, TWRP. Then you flash my prerooted Lollipop.
Hi everybody,
I have tried to root my Tablet S but it doesn'T work. I am on the 5a Firmware and I am using the AiO Tool v6.5. When trying to root it begins rooting, says it is rooted and then the restartes the device. When I check for root there is none. I cannot do any of the other options of the tool as they all need root and the tool tells me "su binary not found". SuperSu isn't installed either. Any way to downgrade and root or force root? I cannot flash any other ROM via recovery as it gives me an error when I try. Am I stuck with unrooted 5a now!
UPDATE: No I cannot even get a ROM installed. I can get into recovery and thats it. Any update fails because of "Erohibit update as a result of checking version or base sku". ADB doesn't recognize the tablet so my only option is some flashing over SD Card but how?!
Please help:crying:
Cheers!
Hey I just picked up this phone and decided I would like to maximize it to its fullest potential, and root it as I have done with previous phones. This ones giving me a hard time, and I just can't seem to find the proper info for it.
I have unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP 3.1.1 and want to gain root access. I have followed several guides, used every possible one-click unsuccessfully, and tried installing SuperSU with TWRP. After I reboot, SuperSU is installed. I'll open it up and it tells me the binaries are occupied. I've tried downgrading and updating the binaries but I get errors. (I believe this is because it must be rooted first - of course.)
So I'm stuck unable to get any further. If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate it. Is this phone with this configuration unrootable? There must be a way if I have recovery right?
Asus Zenfone 4 Z01KD/ZE554KL
Android Nougat 7.1.1 - 14.1060.1708.63 (NOT 1708.70)
TWRP 3.1.1 installed
One thing I have not tried is using Magisk. When I try it, it stops because I already patched with SuperSU (even though it failed). I never backed up before I did it with SuperSU I really thought it would work.
I read of people doing it with Magisk after updating to Oreo. I want to give that a try but I can't OTA or flash from TWRP. All attempts result in error 7.
I can't find a stock recovery to flash to do the update either. Is there a way to undo this, OTA and repatch with Magisk? Even if I don't bother updating, I would like to find a stock image to flash so I can try patching with Magisk.
Stock rom recovery.img anywhere? Am I alone?
i dont own this device but i read this and it might apply to you. also did you flash the supersu uninstaller and them try magisk?
