official Asus, no only in fastboot mode
Has anyone suffering battery drain? I've updated my ZS570KL to 8.0 with Asus official but phone became hot and battery drain is dramatical…. obvious reset many time to factory default and wipe all…. The problem appears from the beginning…. starting the initial setup. Thanks.

So is this rootable or is it pre-rooted? I also am wondering if this Oreo update fixed the Quickcharge limit (where QC is disabled)?
It is the only way to update?? Except ota
EDIT. Guys, the other way you can update to oreo is flashing oreo stock recovery and then install the firmware
Wheres the MAGIC
have oreo up and running no problem, lost root/magisk and cant seem to get it back. trying to flash magisk installer failed even up to 16.4 just goes into bootloop, flashing stock boot back and it boots up ok to oreo.
If any one on ZS570KL 2.1ghz has oreo running with MAGISK please post a copy of your boot.img.
the only other thing I can think off is that the bootloader is relocked. Anybody with any experience of this?

I'm having the same issue, also I can't seem to unlock my bootloader using the unlock tool on asus website it always says "Failed to unlock this device, please try again later"
also what's up with this automatic device encryption ? I flashed twrp recovery and it can't decrypt the device using the password or the PIN i've set, I even tried "default_password" still doesn't work

Have you had any luck? I'm having a similar problem to you. When I try to unlock my bootloader using the unlock tool it complains that I don't have a PIN set (even though I do) then fails and says "Failed to unlock this device, please try again later".

Tried all means, I just gave up
I'm happy to say that I got it working. It appears the Unlock tool gives the "Can't unlock your phone right now" error if your phone is already unlocked.
Previously, I was running the Turbo ROM 6.01 found in the ZF3 Deluxe thread. My phone was BootLoader unlocked and Rooted. I upgraded to 8.0 by running the very straightforward "Update_Image.bat" command found in the 8.0 ROM folder. I figured the update would re-lock my BootLoader, so I ran the 8.0 version of the Unlock tool. Then I ran into the previously mentioned error. In my frustration I just said 'screw it, I have 4 of these phones'. So I booted the phone into fastboot mode and flashed TWRP 3.2.2. I expected it to fail; however, it WORKED! I then booted the TWRP 3.2.2 image and flashed SuperSU v2.82 SR5. That worked! I then flashed the Xposed v90-sdk27-arm64-beta3 zip and THAT worked! I rebooted the phone and it loaded up pretty as you please.
I've followed this procedure with all 4 of my ZF3 Deluxe phones and they are all happily on 8.0.0, Rooted, and have Xposed running
Related
Updated for more serious reference. Hope this info helps you!
Procedure:
Once you have updated to Nougat, you would have to unlock your bootloader
The APK that unlock the bootloader works (Even though is marked as M version). (Remember that this will wipe your device!) For ULBL -> Version UnlockTool_2017_0803(android M) (FROM ASUS) https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone-3-Zoom-ZE553KL/HelpDesk_Download/
Zenfone will reboot and you will able to see a new splash screen that informs you that your device is unlocked giving you boot options Don't press anything. (You will see this everytime you reboot). The next screen will show an erase process. Phone will reboot.
Once booted enable developer options and adb via usb.
You can find TWRP builds right here: https://mega.nz/#F!p90wgAaY!l1JbJilmAUEKTKWu43pT9w (Special thanks to: @shakalaca) Use the latest one.
Go to fastboot mode and install TWRP. (fastboot flash recovery (nameoffile).img)
Let fastboot do it's magic, once you finish press volume buttons till you find reboot recovery press power button to select. It will boot again to the first splash. Do not press anything, let it work. It will boot TWRP in a whistle.
Once in TWRP make a backup. You know it's necessary, and will save your ass in case of a softbrick.
Flash latest magisk (Current Ver: 13.3) Magisk thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Reboot, check drawer for magisk manager, magisk and root should be enabled.
Voila. Safetynet test passed :good:
what version was twrp are you using and what steps did you take to get magisk to work.
smariob said:
So today finally I got my Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom. I couldn't contain myself to start playing with it.
My very first surprise was that the phone requested for an update. I've done it. I ended with a stock 7.1.1 AZ3Z.
This is my experience:
The APK that let you unlock bootloader works. (Remember that this will wipe your device)
After auto reboot I cheched safetynet. At this point test failed (Little bit obvious)
I was able to go to fastboot mode and install TWRP (The same you can find right here at the forum)
Let fastboot do it's magic, press volume buttons till you find reboot recovery. It will boot TWRP in a whistle.
Once in TWRP I made a backup. You know if necessary.
The next step was a crossfinger procedure. Just flashed latest magisk Beta (13)
Reboted checked for magisk manager on drawer.
It was there and root also. Enabled magiskhide, and voila. Safetynet test passed :good:
Hope this Info help you.

Just a question as I'm having difficulty booting into TWRP.
My device is unlocked and when flashing TWRP using the command "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" and trying to boot into it nothing happens other than my device going into the bootloader. I have tried flashing both the most recent TWRP 3.1.1 and 3.1.0 yet I keep on coming to the same problem. Can anyone provide help? thanks in advance.

Everytime you reboot the pone starts into boot loader. It has a countdown to boot into whatever is commanded.
Once you flashed succesfully the recovery img you just have to select option to boot recovery with vol keys and power.
Phone will reboot into bootloader agin let it boot on contdown (don't press any key)
Then it will boot into twrp.
Hello, on nougat i am trying to install the twrp, I downloaded the official bootloader release program (after installing the message "unlocked device") but trying to install the twrp via fastboot me by an error message. ... but I think the problem is the unlocking of the bootloader (if I turn the ze553kl in fastboot mode I see my device is "locked") ... there is another version of the bootloader release software? The one available on asus site would look for android M ... maybe there is one for Nougat? Thanxs
Wop. I used the M version apk on Nougat. It worked with no issues, the unlock of boot loader is successful when all the content of your smartphone is wiped.
For reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hg77b8o8Jk4 Min 1:29
Thank you! But running the software, does not run any wipe, it only displays an "unlocked" message without having to restart anything else. I also tried to make a "factory reset" and repeat lab process but the result does not change ...

If you follow that link and flash the recommended version, TWRP might load upside down and mirrored, impossible to use. I flashed the latest version from the MEGA link (3.1.1) and it was back to normal. Just a head's up for future reference, you might want to update your post.

Updated, never had mirror issues but is always better to have latest recovery.
Edit. Jimbo, I got an anwer from the source it notes: "please use 'fastboot flash recovery' instead of 'fastboot boot' to avoid up side down screen"
I've also tried installing from scratch with Asus flash tool, but I still can not unlock bootloader ... Anyone know if there is also an unofficial method for unlocking the bootloader?
@bizzino what model of Z3Z are you using?
Maybe Unlock bootloader app is intended for specific models... Let me do a little bit of research

Works just fine, thank you
But how would I go about setting the phone back to stock if needed in the future? (Removing Magisk, and replacing TWRP with the original recovery software).
@bizzino No news for you i wasn't able to find more info I'm sorry. Maybe change it for warranty? @subsector you should flash original recovery via fastboot and then sideload the stock rom
Since there's no thread about it yet (in here then), I'll just make this one so that there won't be any more confusion for TWRP links.
Do keep in mind that if you use the official bootloader unlock method, you won't receive OTA updates anymore from Asus.
Have a great day and happy flashing

Did you upgrade your system to Oreo? If so, did you have substratum themes on?
I wonder when he opens the twrp he asks for the PIN number , password or something?

Mate 10. So, I tried to install the latest EMUI version using HuRUpdater - bad idea. Now, my phone will not boot. I can enter EMUI Recovery Mode but when I try to receive download package, it says it can't be retrieved. I can also enter Fastboot Mode but the problem with that is that under Device Manager, it only gets recognized as, "Android Bootloader Interface."
Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.
edit: So, fastboot DOES work. What files from what version do I flash to return to stock recovery? I don't even know if Pie was actually written to the device or not before the device rebooted and wouldn't boot.
edit again: I have just successfully installed TWRP via fastboot but it hangs at startup screen - is this because it's not compatible with Pi?
So I've tried flashing ramdisk_recovery.img, kernel.img and system.img from the Pi version but I still can't factory reset the phone. It boots back to the white screen with the android dude and says, "Please update system again."
Any help would be appreciated...
Using Multi-Tool, it detects my device in Fastboot mode as still 8.0.0.143. So, I'm trying to flash System, Ramdisk, Cust, Recovery_Ramdisk and Userdata......all succeed, except one - Ramdisk.img. When I manually try to flash Ramdisk.img in command prompt, it also fails, "FAILED (remote: partition length get error)". In Multi-tool, the error is, "the size or path does not match the file system markup."
Please, does anyone have any other suggestions? I've been at this for nearly 12 hours straight.
I assume u have unlocked bootloader and frb unlocked too if both yes u can search in xda for zip file beta downy 0.4
It will help you to downgrade emui 9 to. Emui 8
If u have unlocked bootloader only I guess u need funky huawei to restore ur devise
I hope I did helped u
Thanks for the reply.
My bootloader is unlocked but how do I know if I have unlocked FRP?
And downy tool requires ADB but I can only access Fastboot.
edit: I just checked and my FRP is also unlocked. What now?
Tried Funky Huawei just now, no go. Still get package can't be received error in ERecovery after following all of the instructions. Have emailed them as that's what they suggest doing if it didn't work.
Not sure what else to try to be honest. How the hell does updating my phone from 8.0.0.143 to 9.0.0.159 with HuRUpdate brick my phone? Ffs.

Well, it happened because HuRUpdater it's not supported on EMUI 9.0.
Ramdisk fails to flash because even if in fastboot your device is showing as 8.0.0.143, it has EMUI 9's partition layout, so no more ramdisk partition.
Try flashing a firmware with the DLOAD method (search on androidhost.ru for a firmware designed for your device/cust).

Damn. Well, that makes perfect sense. A question - do I flash the 9.0.0 version or 8.0.0.143 version?

Try with EMUI 9 first, then, if it fails, try Oreo. The most important part is finding a DLOAD firmware for your cust/region.
I've fixed it!
Funky emailed me back and I ended up using a different method on their site which worked like a charm. I couldn't recommend them enough.
Hi, good to hear you got it sorted! Would you mind sharing the details on what you had to do differently with FHC? I'm in the same boat here with a mate 10 pro that died on emui9 and I'm not sure if I should go the FHC way or not...

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?

Update yourbphone to latest v14
Is there any way to relock the phone just through fastboot? After installing an OTA update, the partitions should match the vbmeta partition, right? So could just relock the bootloader using fastboot flashing lock or would the phone not start then?

Your device will go in to boot img corrupt after that.......
PLEASE NOTE: This isnt working if you are on a custom rom! My Bootloader ist broken and locked and I have to figure out how to fix this ****.
Hello Pankspoo.
I reset my Nord 2 again with an A11 image.
Now I wanted to lock the bootloader again. I have implemented your instructions one to one.
After that, the Nord 2 will boot normally and start.
But in the developer options I can still unlock the bootloader. So the option is not greyed out. The OTA cannot be installed but does not lead to a bootloop either.
I used the appropriate boot.img recovery & vbmeta.img.
Do you have any idea?
Best regards

Check YASNAC app from play store if it's showing safety net check passed your locked.
While installation of OTA what's errors u r getting.
After locking OEM unlock not grates off actually now it's available to unlock again with switchable tab
Sorry for crossposting a lot today, but I am really stuck and it seems that this may be the tool I need. I am on A15, cannot lock bootloader and cannot update.
So, to be sure, for this to work I need the boot.img, recovery.img and vbmeta.img for A15 stock rom? If yes, where can I get those files?
I found the files! Thank you for this guide! It worked perfectly. I really thought my phone was completely bricked. Coming from a Pixel, the root/restore process on this thing is a complete nightmare!!

Hi, I have a question. I have an unlocked bootloader, if I have my mobile service serviced and I have the original rom reinstalled there will the botloader be locked?

Definitely, no doubt about that. But the rooting-proces after that is easy and well described here. Don't forget to FIRST take you OTA's, that makes things easier!

I want to lock the botloader, I don't want root anymore. I just need to be sure that if I service the phone for reinstallation to the original firmware, then the bootloader will be locked. Will be? thank you for answer
No worries, it'll be locked after a factory flash!

This happened to me. It turns out that I had version A10 and flashed the A12stock_boot.img and when rebooting I had no wifi. I had no twrp either, since I had just flashed the stock recovery too.
So, I figured "did this actually updated to A12?" I checked the build version on the settings and no, it did not. So maybe thats the reason the system gets confused and some functions (I only noticed wifi) don't work properly.
Anyway, this is how I solved it:
1) restored my A10 version (flashing the file I got from a link on this post)
2) rebooting to A10, I did have wifi. I tried to update to A19 through Software Updater, but even though it did download the update.zip, it failed to update ("didn't pass the verification"). So, I:
3) flashed TWRP again, rebooted into it and installed the update.zip file (in data/ota_package/) that had just been downloaded by Software Updater.
4) Rebooted.
5) Fastboot flashing lock
6) Rebooted again. Congrats, its a brand new phone!!
P.S. Don't forget to lock the OEM unlocking option in Settings.
