Is there anything I can do to root this device? I already tried using kingroot and kingoroot but it failed to root, I also tried to install a custom recovery (twrp) but it doesn't support this device so if anyone compiled a twrp file for this device it can also help.please help me guys.thank you.
Device:Asus ZenFone Max Plus (M1)
I haven't found anything yet, but there is an official unlocker here. I think it only works for a certain model though, it didn't seem to do it for me. However they did release the source, and I'm in the process of getting set up to try and get TWRP to compile with it. Won't be able to do much with it if I can't unlock the bootloader, though

Hey! Did you have any results there? I ended up buying this phone and totally regretting it. Stuck in android 7.0 and no root yet.
good luck?

but in order for you to install magisk wouldn't you need a custom recovery?or did you just use the magisk manager app and would patching the boot.img from in the app work without a custom recovery?

Flashed via adb and fastboot, get the stock boot off a dump from your phone, make a new boot.img with magisk, fastboot the new boot.img to your phone. Works flawless, and all audio mods I have tried so far work

how would i get the stock boot from a dump from my phone,never had to deal with this before lol,used to use a HTC One M8 but it broke.

Sorry this may seem dumb but can you give me a step-by-step please.I understand how I'm to patch the boot.img with magisk,I just don't fully understand how to get a dump from my phone in order to find the boot.img to patch and flash afterwards,also any tips on how to flash with adb would be helpful thanks.I think it's something along the lines of adb push magisk.....img... right?I have expereince flashing custom roms and magisk from a custom recovery but with this phone there is no custom recovery yet,which is why I was stuck.So would i unlock bootlader first,and then patch the boot.img and flash it via fastboot?or would unlocking the bootloader after patching and flashing the boot.img be better.

Hi,
Nexus 9 is my main device and I prefer to install roms without using a pc. Is there a way or tutorial to make a twrp flashable rom file out of Android M or any stock image through our tablet? I mean not using a pc at all...
I don't suppose you're rooted right now? If you are get flashify. If you're not your going to need fastboot and a pc.

I am already rooted. Can flashify install the stock rom?

i can make one but you need to be on the latest bootloader
@USBhost
I will find a pc to update the latest bootloader. Please go on with the rom. Thanks.
They can fairly easily be modified into update.zip files without the "common" approach of extracting the files from the image and going through a long drawn-out process of formatting, copying, setting permissions, etc.
The key is in the updater-script file in the update.zip package. Look at the syntax around installing an "image" file, like boot.img. Now you just extend the script to do the same thing with all the other .img files, and strip out all the junk that you don't need.
This goes for bootloaders, radio, recovery, boot, system.... everything. All works the same.

I am not that good but I do understand your logic. I guess that is the way that @USBhost will make the M rom. Just the bootloader needs to be updated via fastboot if I am not mistaken.
It would be great to have such a zip template as someone can update the img files easy later on.

Nope. Bootloader can be updated in any manner you prefer. You can even update it from directly within android by dd'ing it to the right place(s). Google seems to like to reboot the unit right after installing the bootloader, probably because the bootloader is where fastboot is actually implemented (take advantage of any updates or bug fixes there...) BUT, this is certainly not mandatory. Remember that factory OTA's update everything from recovery!

Hi guys,
My nexus 9 WIFI is stuck at the loading screen after I attempted an OTA update. I'd like to get it back to the way it was without wiping data.
I have TWRP as recovery and a custom kernel.
Because of this. my tablet stopped flashing the monthly security updates.
I installed FlashFire to install an OTA. which I downloaded from:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/ota#volantis
I picked the MOB30G version as I have the MOB30D currently installed.
Anyway, I ran FlashFire and selected the OTA zip and ran the process. It looked like it worked and then it rebooted.
It then got stuck on the loading screen.
I can still get into recovery if I want to flash a clean install but I'd rather not lose my date. Is there a way I can get this working? Maybe flash stock recovery and then install the OTA via ADB (instructions?)?
Thanks for any help.
Get the latest factory image and use fastboot to flash it. Can be done without wiping data.
Just don't use flash-all script without modifying it, so it doesn't wipe.
---------- Post added at 08:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 PM ----------
The link you provided have full OTA images and you could have picked the latest MOB30M
OK I fixed it by flashing the FIRE-ICE kernel again. I think the OTA flash did something to it.
Can you help me?

dont know yet but the plus series is ure best bet from history speaking
as of rite now theyre no methods on any of the 3s
of coarse u can try king/kingo root prob be best bet
The Plus models from MetroPCS and TMobile have unlockable bootloader's, so all that's needed is TWRP to flash root
Sent from my LGMP450 using Tapatalk
Nice to know there will be an option in a month or two. I hear development on Stylos don't take too long considering their popularity.
I would love to know what's needed to attempt root on a device...I mean from scratch...like what is needed to access the /data file...and how to break thru the lock LG has to stop someone from mounting and rewriting certain files

Do the devices have fast boot. If so a oem unlock. Some one said metro and t mobiles where unlocked or unlockable
I'm no programming/root expert but in developer options you enable oem unlock.. then connected o the pc you type fastboot oem unlock from a command prompt.. the phone then says its unlocked .. that's as far as I went. Aso after that, when you boot the phone, it literally complains that it is missing security before it boots.

LG might have removed the ability to boot an image without flashing it like they did with the Stylo 2 plus, and I don't think there is a kdz available yet as I been looking for one every couple of days but haven't found one.

An existing fastboot does not mean that it support flashing custom recovery, check lg g6 threads to know what I'm talking about.
I want to purchase one of these from metro to use on my h20 account. If I flash a new rom will it get rid of that stupid unlock policy that makes you use the app after 90 days to unlock?
Anyone know if or when any updates even security patches will roll out for this device?

My bet is the situation is similar with G Stylo 2+.
Even with the latest 7.0 ROM, I still could flash TWRP and install SuperSU (not Magisk unfortunately).

Thats what it seems all the plus models eccept cricket. Seem to be rootable.
Ofcoarse no plus for me. Just the reg. So again just like g4 and many other devices i will not be able to get root
Here's the deal,
1. I was on resurrection remix 7.1 custom rom with TWSRP recovery installed.
2. Wanted to go back to stock huawei honor 5x OS so I downloaded it on the internet, since I live in Malaysia, I searched for "Huawei Honor 5x Stock Rom Malaysia Variant"
3. Flash the rom, got EMUI 2.0 instead of the written EMUI 3.1 on the file (the file name is KIW-L22_C636B130_Firmware_Android 5.1_EMUI 3.1_Malaysia.zip"
4. Flashed HONOR_5X_Firmware_KIW-L22_Android 6.0.1_EMUI 4.0.1_C675B360CUSTC675D002.zip that I got from huawei's website
5. Stuck in bootloop.
6. I went into TWRP recovery and tried to do something but I couldn't use the touchscreen for some odd reason
7. Went and browsed XDA for around 2 hours and found that I can install another recovery that uses the volume buttons and the power buttons to navigate, thus I installed a recovery called "carliwm touch recovery"
8. Was happy could finally do something, successfully flashed the recovery. Went and downloaded Lineage OS rom based on my mistakes that I've done and never want to go back to stock rom.
9. The recovery has an option to mount the external sd card (my sd card in my phone, dont know why it's called as such), so I did, I still couldn't navigate using the touchscreen as it's disfunctional still but can still navigate using volume and power buttons.
10. Wiped all data, flashed Lineage OS, flashed GAPPS.
11. Stuck in recovery for some reason, can't get into my phone. I've re-flashed it many times
For those who want to know my phone model, it's KIW-L22. When it had stock rom it was EMUI 4 something, can't remember as it's very vague. I think it was marshmallow
Please help
EDIT:
I use Huawei Update Extractor to get into the stock rom that had EMUI 2.0, extracted the System and Recovery images
Used this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoZQHTidnGA&t=629s ) to flash back to stock rom that had EMUI 2.0
The only way to get out of the recovery is to reboot the phone
In the bootloader, it says "PHONE Unlocked" and "FRP Unlock"
UPDATE:
I've tried to follow the video again and re-flashed the stock rom with EMUI 2.0 and it still doesn't work
I've wiped everything in the phone using the recovery (wiped data and factory reset), going to sleep as it's 4:37 AM
This is what happens when you dont read the guides that are posted all over this forum, we have seen it so many times I have lost count and also the inclination to help sort out the mess, I would never ever in my life download any firmware that wasn't posted on XDA or flash a phone without reading guides on here first as they usually not only give the correct information but usually point to the correct firmware.

Probably not working because boot.img is messed up, you cant have flashed it right, you only option is to try flashing each partition with the extracted files and hope it works and if it doesnt return it to a service center, im out of ideas im afraid, i flashed my boot.img before and it worked when i had no touch screen, didnt you make a backup before you messed with the phone ? Could end up being a expensive mistake, maybe try other boot.img or ask someone on here with a l24 for a copy of their boot.img but without that your screwed as it cant load the touchscreen drivers.

sorry but what's the L24? You've mentioned that for a while now. I'm using the Huawei Honor 5X, model KIW-L22, not L24. Nevertheless, does that affect what I'm doing right now?

Dont forget to MAKE A BACKUP !
Hello I'm new to this the only phone I rooted was way back when u just had to throw some files on your phone install and your good, anyway thst being said I can't figure out how to root my phone I have a lg tribute empire (mcv1s) x220 android Oreo 8.1. I have heard you need a unlocked bootloader to do roots now however when I do try to unlock my bootloader with the platform-tools it does not boot into fast boot mode and in recovery mode it shoes unauthenicated device, no fastboot devices showing up, I feel like I should mention that I have tryed just about every ****ing driver I could find and tutorial if anyone could give me some guidance that would be great. P.S. sorry for the long type out

I don't have this device myself and there's very little (maybe 1-2) threads that discusses the LG Tribute Empire (LM-X220PM) device.
But there's some hope!
Since this device has a MediaTek MT6750 Chipset with a 64-bit Processor, you can always try to go in that direction.
The following thread would be a good start for what you are looking for...

sadly i dont think its possible yet
I don't know if things have changed for new MediaTek devices (regarding FRP) but i would recommend to read a lot about SP Flash Tool, especially how to make a full ROM dump (read back), what is a scatter file, and why it is important to never flash the preloader. if you get managed to install the MediaTek MT65xx USB VCOM Preloader Drivers (which works best with battery removed), you should be able to make a backup (= read back) from SP Flash Tool.
If this first step fail for some new security features (i don't know), don't go further here...
If you not absolutely sure that a scatter file is matching your partition layout, do not flash anything!
Next (non-invasive) thing is to get fastboot working. you can reboot to bootloader, which is just another name for fastboot mode. this can be done from recovery, from a working adb, or with the proper key combo. once you see the device serialno after typing "fastboot devices" you managed this step.
Then you can go over to read about Magisk. rooting with Magisk is easy, all you have to do is provide your original boot.img to the Magisk Manager, then (invasive) flash the patched_boot.img.
Before flashing, take the decision if you are willing to factory reset your device.
If yes, first disable FRP (= enable OEM unlocking). then unlock your bootloader from fastboot. This will trigger FACTORY RESET! if you are afraid about flashing, first just boot the magisk patched_boot.img from fastboot without flashing it. then you can flash your magisk patched_boot.img from fastboot, too. i will not post fastboot syntax here because it differs for (non-)A/B devices
If no, you can try to flash (= Download) magisk patched_boot.img from SP Flash Tool. This should work with locked bootloader (at least it worked for older devices). Maybe you have to remove some checksum (files, or inside scatter file, i don't know). Again, most important: Make 100% sure you use the right scatter file (a successfully magisk patched boot.img from read back is not a bullet-proof indicator, but regarding the boot(a/b) partition(s) it may sufficient)
If the rooting fail for some reason or your device is not working anymore, flash back the full ROM dump with same scatter file you used for read back. This should restore it's original state (again, do not flash preloader!)

the majisk root does sound interesting, do you think i can have a copy of the boot.img or can you post thanks, i also found build a twrp for lg mtk i might try

You can create a boot.img with SP Flash Tool by yourself (ROM dump/readback)
a rainbow
i dont have a p.c, i just figured someone might post a boot.img or something of use for someone else
without pc you can't flash boot.img or recovery.img
i was going to flash from my spare phone witch is rooted put adb/fastboot in xbin, im not sure if it works on the mtk

theres a twrp for the lmx210ma which might be looked at or modded, the lmx220ma is the empire
then try 'fastboot boot twrp.img' once in twrp install magisk.zip. but thus requires unlocking bootloader (factory reset)

so like I was saying I need a boot.IMG or copy, if adb doesn't work I reset my computer or phone and used cwroot (the one that uses a script) root.sh to get the adb shell, that or factory reset the empire, and computer, reinstall adb ... thanks
fastboot only works from usb cable and is not related to adb. If you want to flash boot.img from adb you need a root shell. If you have a root shell you can dump boot.img by yourself with dd. If you find stock ROM you can extract boot.img from download, but you won't be able to flash boot.img without root shell, twrp or fastboot. besides this you need to unlock bootloader (which is only possible from fastboot) in order to get the capability to disable dm-verity, otherwise your phone won't boot with modified boot partition (and may become soft-bricked)
Another root method is bootless root
I strongly recommend you don't make things over-complicated and just find a pc you can use for 1/2 hour
maybe your device comes shipped with fastboot disabled?
