Padfone S / X (Android 6.0): Any way to root? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there.
I tried for hours to root my Padfone S (PF500KL) after installing the FW-Update with Android 6.0.1.
Towelroot, KinRoot, KingoRoot etc, nothing worked.
Also, I was not able to install TRWP because of the blocked bootloader.
Is there anyone with a how-to for rooting the PF S or unlock the bootloader?
Thank you!

Guide to root the Padfone S (Android Marshmallow 6.0.1)
Meanwhile I did it.
Here's the guide to success.
What you need:
- Minimal ADB and Fastboot (get it here) Thread on XDA
- TWRP 2.8.7.8. (get it here)
- SuperSU root (get it here)
Copy the TWRP-file to the Minimal-ADB-directory and the SuperSU-zip to the main-directory of the Padfone.
If there's one, deinstall the SuperSU-App from your phone.
1. Flash TWRP
Go to fastboot-mode (press vol up + power on for about 10sec)
Start ADB, connect your Phone and use the command fastboot flash recovery twrp_2.8.7.8_v5.img
You will get an error-message such as "FAILED (remote: can't flash unsigned image)", but nevertheless it worked.
Go to recovery-mode (vol down + power on for about 3 sec) choose recovery to start TWRP.
2. Flash the Super SU
Tap "install", choose the SuperSU-file and start the installation.
Read carefully the note at the end of the installation.
Reboot without installing SuperSU from TWRP again.
Maybe you have to update the binaries in the SuperSU-App.
Well, it's done.
(Thanks to ninekw9s guide for the inspiration.)

Not being able to update - request some help

Hey guys,
My honor 7 is still at the B100 update. I always wanted to update to other versions but wasn't able to.
My phone was rooted and ofc if you update then it won't work. It always fails at rebooting and brings it back to twrp recovery (including bootloop). After a couple of times using volume + and powerbutton it will sometimes bring it to EMUI erecovery, and by then I can start my phone the normal way.
So now I unrooted my device by a full uninstall in superSU. But still the updates won't work.
Then I did a factory reset, but still no succes in updating my device (still getting twrp bootloop).
So now i'm following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7/general/guide-how-to-update-to-marshmallow-6-0-t3349497 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7/general/guide-beginners-how-to-root-update-fix-t3255452
After following the steps in "[Guide] How To Update To The Latest Marshmallow 6.0 From B180" I get stuck at step 7.
I don't know what kind of command prompt I should use. I am using my windows command prompt and directed it to the extracted path (step 6).
In step 7 I need to use the fastboot flash functions but the cmd prompt doesn't recognise the functions. So I'm guessing I'm using not the right kind of cmd (do iI need to use like adb program or something)?
For the guide: "[Guide For Beginners] - How To Update, Root, Tweak, and Fix Honor 7"
In step 2 I need to go into the bootloader menu by using volume + and powerbutton. For me it will go into EMUI erecovery.
Summary:
What have I done:
- unrooted my device by full uninstall SuperSU (any rooted apps won't work)
- factory reset my device
- edit1: tried also to put marshmallow version in sd/dload and installing it local. No succes again.
Problems:
- unable to update my device, it will never install the update.
- when the device is rebooting for update installation it will get into a twrp bootloop.
- problems in guides steps.
I hope someone is able to help me with these problems.

[ROOT] Teclast Master T8

Hi everyone,
This is what I have done to root my Teclast T8 with Magisk (based on this chineese forum: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/5449087481)
1-First download the official firmware from Needrom.com (You need to register): https://www.needrom.com/download/teclast-t8-e8c1/
2-Go to the Firmware folder and copy the “boot.img” file to the root directory of your tablet
3-Download and install MagiskManager on the tablet, click on Install, then choose to patch the boot image file. Choose the boot.img you’ve just uploaded to your tablet and it will start to automatically patch it.
Then go into the File Manager and go to the MagiskManager folder and find the “patch_boot.img“ and copy it to the root directory (without copying it to the root directory, you can not find the file from your pc…), then sends the file from the tablet to your computer.
4-For me the method with SP Flash Tool don’t work, because it says the scatter file is wrong (don’t know why…)
So i have to do it with adb and unlock the bootloader first:
-connect the tablet to pc, (first you have to enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging in Developer options)
-reboot the tablet in fastboot mode, hold buttons “power+Vol +” at startup, choose fastboot mode with Vol+ button, valid with Vol-
- open a command prompt in adb folder, then “fastboot devices”, then “fastboot oem unlock”, it should say “OKAY, finished”
Your bootloader is now unlock.
-then copy the “patched_boot.img” in the adb folder and tap in command prompt “fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img”, then “fastboot reboot”.
Your tablet should be rooted.
I think you can relock bootloader after... don't try yet.
PS: This is my first thread, so be indulgent ?
Don’t ask me technical questions because I am not a developer , just a simple user …
Hope this will help.
If someone find a way to find and flash a TWRP or how to install Xposed, please tell me, thx.
Rooted using same method but SP Flash Tools worked in my tablet.
Waiting for a TWRP ....
Yes, can confirm that method works for root.
Also tried the T10 TWRP and it's not working on the T8, just a black screen.
Don't need TWRP yet, some bugs in the ROM are more annoying than that

Flashing ROM with SP flashtool - Teclast Master T8 (E8C1)

Hi! I haven't used in built update app so I'll try to explain how to update using flashtool. Follow the steps with your device disconnected from the pc and take into account your files will be erased.
First of all, I recommend you to install ADB and fastboot drivers: 15 seconds ADB Installer
As OP said download the rom from NeedRom and unzip it: You will have three folders:
升级工具, which contains flashtool
固件程序, with the rom
驱动程序, with the drivers
Rename all of them as flashtool, rom and drivers, for example. If you don't, you may have troubles launching flashtool or loading the scatter file.
Launch flashtool as administrator (升级程序, you could rename it too), if you get the message "The scatter file cannot found, please make sure the file exist before download" ignore it. In flashtool make sure MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin is selected as Download-Agent and select the scatter file inside rom folder as Scatter-loading file. Choose firmware upgrade from the list and click the Download button (the one with the green arrow).
Finally, switch off your device and connect it to your pc. Flashtool should do the rest, wait untill "Download Ok" message is displayed. Close flashtool, disconnect your device and switch it on.
IF your computer doesn't load needed drivers automatically, flashtool won't start the process as expected. You will need to open device manager on windows, right click on your device - update driver - choose manually - browse "inf" folder inside drivers folder (choose x86 or x64 according to your OS).
Hope it works! Good luck.
Prevent Brick and Xposed for Teclast Master T8 (E8C1)

Hi Polo19!
Thanks for your post, I rooted my tablet following it! But since I encountered some issues in the process I wanted to share my experience.
IMPORTANT: For a few hours I thought I hard bricked my device, so I hope I could help somebody.
When patching boot.img with MagiskManager IF the app automatically tics "Keep force encryption" choose "Keep dm-verify" aswell!
I don't know why but this was the only way to make it work on my device, I kept getting a encryption error after flashing the patched boot.img, despite the fact that I have never encrypted my device.
After getting that error I tried to flash the clean rom again, but flashtool gave an error and the tablet completely died! Well, it seemed so.
It's pretty stupid but the only way to make it work again was pushing the reset button on the top right corner of the tablet for a few seconds and flashing the rom again.
About Magisk: use the OFFICIAL MAGISK XDA THREAD to download it, as https://magiskmanager.com/ is NOT the official website.
In step 3, I couldn't find the patched_boot.img file even after moving it to the root directory. So I had to (let the patched_boot.img file in the default directory):
Install ADB drivers in the computer: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Enable USB debugging in developer options in the tablet, connect it to the computer and accept the connection.
Open command prompt / powershell: "shift + right click" wherever you want to copy the patched_boot.img and open cmd or power shell.
Run the command:
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/MagiskManager/patched_boot.img
In step 4: you won't encounter that problem if you rename downloaded folders and get rid of chinese characters. Simply open flashtool, choose the scatter file, untick all options except boot and change the default boot.img with the patched one (I renamed it to boot.img, I don't know if it's necessary)
Xposed: you can install xposed using MagiskManager.
Install Xposed Installer for Magisk, go to download tab in MagiskManager and install Xposed SDK24 (for android 7.0) and reboot

Hi, I tried to follow the procedure but in ROM 1.10 doesn't work

With the news roms doesn't work...
What is the rom that was working this WA??
Thanks!
I just did this to a tablet that had OTA'd the 1.10 - using the 1.10's downloaded boot and latest Magisk Manager 5.5.4 / Magisk 15.3 beta
OEM Unlock, patching boot image and patched boot image flashing worked
BUT - the included Magisk Manager does not launch after installing upon reboot...
HOWEVER - V5.5.3 of the manager did work.
$ adb -s 0123456789ABCDEF install MagiskManager-v5.5.3.apk
Success
$ adb -s 0123456789ABCDEF shell
t8_e8c1:/ $ su
t8_e8c1:/ #
Notes
1. Tablet is wiped
2. Boot delay of 5 seconds is added with "can't be trusted" warning in white text
3. Fails safetynet
Letting MagiskManager update itself to 554 also worked - so I think my method of just installing the apk from the Magisk zip's common folder was wrong.

Hi,
My T8 arrived yesterday and I've used OTA to update to 1.10.
Is the sptools method working with 1.10 or do I need to use this process?
Also where to the numbers 0123456789ABCDEF come from in the instructions I've quoted?
Thank is advance
i have the ota 1.10 update and the rooting was successful. magisk and xposed working flawlessly.
another point:
i have closed the bootloader after flashing the patched boot.img with "fastboot oem lock".
the device boot up is faster and the warning "...5 seconds" is gone.
now, i wait for twrp.
You dont need to unlock bootloader.
Just flash patched_boot with flash tool.

The suggested worked for me. I will also mention that you must be connected to the internet to patch the boot.img file with magisk manager (otherwise, the option will not be presented in the magisk manager GUI).
Were there made any changes for the fingerprint? Soimebody mentioned, it isn´t that good. Maybe the last updates change something...

Help me root Cubot Rainbow

Hi everyone
I have been trying to root my cubot rainbow with no success, I have trier every way possible on which I will list.
King root - apk and PC version
Kingo root - apk and PC version
Iroot - apk and PC version
Towel root - didn't Evan let me open this app
Root genius - apk and PC version
Then I tried custom recovery, I got the tools of needrom and I got to it I did everything right I -
Unlocked my boot loader (I think) as once I accepted to unlock it there was no way to check if it actually was unlocked because everytime I did "fastboot OEM device-info" it returned something like "Failed(no controller)" < something like this anyway so with me not really knowing if IRA unlocked or not I went onto the next step.
With the scatter file and recovery.IMG to hand I opened up sp flash tools and then tried to flash the recovery. It then told me everything went okay and it was done. But when I boot to recovery it's still at stock.
I then tryed flashing with fastboot and same thing happens it tells me its all okay but its actually still stock
This leads to is my bootloader acc unlocked then? (I did try multiple times and uninstalled and reinstalled drivers)
So anyway is there any way to root my phone?
Instruction here http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=741031&st=1000#entry54800941
but on russian
Thank you for your reply I have had a look and from what I can understand it looks positive, but.... I can't find the instructions or translate them properly for the actually rooting
Here google translate of first post, bold below it is what you need:
1. Fully comply with the instructions for the firmware of custom recovery
2. Download and put in the root of the SD card archive SuperSU
3. Turn off the smartphone, hold down the + volume and power buttons simultaneously, select "Recovery Mode"
4. Select "Installation" and select the previously downloaded archive.
5. Reboot the phone.
After enabling, Root-rights and SuperSU will appear.

Is is possible to root Padfone S ASUS_T00N within Android or via computer only?

My Padfone S screen is broken, fully black and out of function. I can't follow the some of the root guide to install TWRP and load the SuperSU zip to it because the screen is broken. I can just use my Padfone with the padfone station, so is there any way to root it? Thanks.
I did my Padfone X about an hour ago! I realize its not the same, but I'll give you a run-down of what I did and maybe it will help!
So I rooted it the dirty way first with KingoRoot, because I just really wanted to debloat. Downloaded the app, nothing complicated about it, I just don't like it and personally I don't trust this root provider for a daily driver. Prefer SuperUser or SuperSU.
Next, I spent a long while poring over threads full of dead links trying to find a CWM or TWRP recovery, and finally stumbled across one, which also contained the flashable bootloader unlocker. So I put the phone in fastboot mode (power the phone off, hold power + vol up) and ran "fastboot boot recovery.img", which is what I renamed the TWRP recovery file to. To my surprise, it booted and mounted the internal storage! So I copied the bootloader unlocker zip, flashed it, rebooted. Entered fastboot again, "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and boom! TWRP installed and working.
My next step will be to replace KingoRoot with SuperSU. I tried it via the normal flashable zip, but it failed somehow. The flash completed but when I rebooted, the SU binaries were missing or something. I lost root access. Good thing that the backup and restore works in TWRP
I'll post a full "how I did it" guide when I'm done. Until then, hopefully something I learned will help you!
yes, it can be root

[TUTORIAL] Rooting and unbricking with latest firmware as of 2019

Doing this quick update because today, when trying to root my phone, bricked it several times and lost all app info
If you are using android 7.11, this guide works fine: https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3-zoom/how-to/how-to-root-zenfone-3-zoom-ze553kl-t3622256
If on android 8, SuperSU will brick your phone. Use Magisk instead:
- enable usb debug mode on your phone
- unlock bootloader
- plug phone into your computer
on your pc
- Download fastboot and adb:
* Windows: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip
* macos: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-darwin.zip
* linux: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-linux.zip
- download the latest Magisk unlock script from https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases and copy it to a MicroSD or USB that you can attach to your phone. Look for Magisk, not Magisk Manager
- download twrp v 3.1.0-0-Z01H-20170408: https://mega.nz/#F!p90wgAaY!l1JbJilmAUEKTKWu43pT9w?E81jQTCD (this is from https://mega.nz/#F!p90wgAaY!l1JbJilmAUEKTKWu43pT9w, as described in the old root guide using twrp + supersu. It is supposed to be safe)
- `adb reboot bootloader`
- `fastboot flash recovery <path to twrp image downloaded>`
- `fastboot reboot`
Right now, you should probably backup your phone.
back on your phone:
- before booting, press volume up on the bootloader, there, select Recovery. Using fastboot to reboot into recovery might cause the stock recovery image to reflash
- if prompted to enable system modifications, allow it.
- If prompted to decrypt your data in TWRP, use the PIN you setup. If it doesn't work, I can't guarantee you won't brick our phone. Feeling brave enough? In case of brick keep reading, it is easy to restore your phone to stock Android 8 using official firmware.
- press install, choose the device attached to your phone that has Magisk-xxx.zip and select it
- flash the image and it should be OK
In case of brick or unsuccessful flash from SuperSU and without backup:
- Don't panic, like I did today
- download the latest firmware from Asus: https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone-3-Zoom-ZE553KL/HelpDesk_BIOS/
- follow this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3-zoom/how-to/manually-update-to-7-11-t3815703
- when the phone reboots, boot into recovery
- enable ADB sideload
- on your pc: `adb sideload <path to newest firmare>`
- now follow the root guide above before starting your phone
- ???
- profit
Note: commands using adb and fastboot assume you have put the contents from the downloaded platform tools in your PATH, else execute them from the directory in which they were extracted, for instance, on linux:
- `cd /home/$USER/Downloads`
- `unzip platform-tools-latest-linux.zip`
- `cd platform-tools`
- `./adb devices`
Bricked my phone.
in which step?
You should have access to fastboot, try the downgrade tutorial and install android 7 then imediately flash the latest image from ASUS

After the magisk install. It logged some "can't mount partition" errors, I tried to wipe, but do not worked.
It got stucked on Asus logo.
I did the unbrick tutorial.
This is strange. Magisk is supposed to patch the boot image and install its app (by the way, if you update magisk using the app, phone enters bootloop)
Anyway, I have encountered myself many problems when installing, but nothing like this. Bootloops and corruption message on bootloader yes, but I can't seem to recall anything about partitions not being mounted. If installing stock recovery image, boot image and system doesn't do the trick, in my experience it is either bad partitioning, although unlikely, because those procedures doesn't repartition anything, or bad internal storage.
But just to be sure, you should reflash stock 7.1 image (recovery, boot and system) with fastboot, enter stock recovery and wipe cache/factory reset. If your phone is physically healthy, this should work

I can't really help you there. This guide is supposed to work for those who are able to unlock bootloader using official asus tools. Never heard of unofficial unlock methods. It is possible that you have a hardware problem if you use those tools and they just don't work.

Have you used the latest official unlocking tool? I see there's a July 2019 version available.
If you are on an older version of Android (not Oreo) are you presently still getting OTA update prompts?
I tried this tool but no result.
is it possible to root ZE553KL without loosing user application's data? I have unrooted device, wanted to migrate telegram secret chats to new phone. it is doable but with rooted smartphone only. if rooting process is destructive I cannot migrate. if rooting is doable with preserving installed applications along with their data then there is a hope for successful migration.
does this method look promising or it is just fake method?
