Rooting Asus zenfone X00KD [Trouble] - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I recently got in my hands an Asus (Mediatek according to system properties) zenfone 4A Max X00KD. It comes with android 7 nougat installed, and fully bloated with usefulness apps.
I've tried to root it (I did it before with other devices with older android os) but this thing comes with a Chinese recovery boot mode which is very limited.
Steps I've already done:
-Usb debugging enabled.
-adb & fastboot tools working.
-Unlocked bootloader.
I've been reading about the SP_Flash_tool and the MTK_droid_tool as well as the ZenFone_Rootkit, but none of them work with android 7. The same happens with apks like kingroot (tried and without success).
Too many people talks about TWRP in order to inject Magisk tools' zip, but there's no version for this phone, and in order to complie I need the source (I think from the zenfone kernel, correct me if I'm wrong) but I'm unable to find it trough the web.
Am I missing something? Is there any way to root an android 7 with a chinese bootloader?
Thanks in advance.

Dear , did you find any solution ? I m facing same. thanks

i am facing the same too

Root for Teclast X10 Plus

I have tablet Teclast X10 Plus ((F2D6) Intel Z8300 Cherry Trail CPU. Android 5.1 only. Unable to find any information on how to root this device. Assistance will be appreciated. Thanking you.
Same here, no info from the company. Worse, we are theoretically supposed to be able to install Windows 10, but Teclast does not give any drivers for that. With only 2go of RAM, I don't care that much about Win 10, but not being able to root is frustrating. I've tried fastboot OEM unlock on the device, it said it worked, but it actually didn't
There's no OEM information for stock firmware flashing?
If you go there : teclast.com/en/firmware/ and type: f2d6 , then you have the only thing that they gave us, it's an Intel flash tool with the current firmware and android 5.1. I guess that there is something in there we could start with, but I'm not an expert. Other than that, the company give no support whatsoever and doesn't answer emails.
As for other information: I've tried to root with KingoRoot, it shows successful, my device rebooted, but seems to hang after the second boot stage, unable to load the O.S. anymore. I had to re-flash the device to fix it.
Somebody found a way to root: hispatablets.com/tablets-teclast/root-teclast-x10-plus-solucionado-t8419.html
I’ve never been that happy to know more than one language
If you need help with the instructions (in Spanish), just ask. I’ve tried and it’s working, my x10 plus is now rooted.
Still, the procedure is a bit clunky and I’m sure we can optimize the process (and fixed the reboot needed problem after the --daemon).
This is a good step and it seems like with this and the package given by Teclast we have enough information to do a lot of things… Still, there is work to do…
how i can get dualboot? I need windows 10 / android version but unfortunatelly i bought android only
Found a review saying this tablet has 'upside down' problem. Basically, it displays some apps upside down and there's no way to fix it.
Do you experience that too?
Flyagaric : It's not impossible, but it is super easy to fix (for those with this bug), you just choose one particular position (I suggest landscape), you go in options and lock the rotation. Every apps will properly open in the current position.

[Q] Where can I find recovery.img ?

Hello
I own a brand new Condor Allure M3 shipped with Android 8.1 (It has project treble). It has 4GB RAM and has a Mediatek Helio P60 (MTK6358) CPU. It is not rooted. The bootloader is unlocked too. I'm wanting to install TWRP on it, so I'm searching to get the recovery.img. I searched on Google how to do it and it asks to use adb and to make "cat /proc/mtd". After doing that, the file does show nothing, only the size etc... thing, so I don't know how to extract it.
I read that there is a way to root devices using MediaTek CPU, and I also read about Project Treble (my phone does have it).
Please help me installing TWRP or rooting it, it will be a big step.
Thanks !
UP please

Root acces to Tesla smartphone 6.2 Lite (request - 1st time posting)

Hey.
I have a question, if there is anyone who knows how to help me with getting root access for my phone (Tesla 6.2 lite).
Before I continue: this is my first post on this forum, so I don't even know if the topic is in the correct "department", so please mods feel free to move it to another section if it is not correct. Thank you.
Ok back to my problem:
I have this phone (mentioned above), which I need root access to. I have tried with one-click root programes (KingoRoot, KingRoot, OneClick, ...) and had no luck. Then I went on to try MTKdroidTools, SP_Flash_Tools, and yet no luck. All I was able to do is to unlock bootloader using Fastboot in CMD.
I have also tried booting .img files through SDcard and didn't work. I don't know all about rooting, but this is such a specific phone, that I wasn't able to find any tutorial on how to do it properly. I used to root my Huawei P7 and Samsung S5, Samsung Ace; but that was very easy via one-click root options and/or SDcard flashing (for custom ROMs).
I tried with USB debugging on, OEM on, ...
To recap, I only need an "admin" or "root" access to my phone, not necessarily a full custom ROM.
Specs:
Phone - Tesla 6.2 Lite
Model um. - SP6.2_Lite
Chip - MT6737M
MS Board. - F5C
Kernel ver. - 3.18.19+ ([email protected] #1)
Android ver. - 6.0
Appreciate the experts help!
Thanks

Need help with the unrootable Wiko JERRY

This is my second ever post on this forum (although I've lurked for a while). Would any of you be willing to help me out with the rooting process on the Wiko Jerry? I've tried every method I could find but to no avail. I'm completely new to rooting so I might have made some noobish mistakes.
What I've done/tried so far:
- Unlocked bootloader and enabled USB Debugging in the phone's developer options
- Installed ADB/Fastboot drivers (although my device isn't detected in fastboot mode)
- Run every 1 click root software solution (including APK's) under the sun (unsuccessfully)
- Install MTKdroidTools (which couldn't create a scatter file)
- Install Android USB drivers (although I'm unable to install Android Bootloader Interface)
Why do I want to root this phone so badly? I want to be able to recover my files (mostly photos) after a factory reset using Diskdigger and for that I need root access.
I hope I haven't left anything out and I hope you're willing to help a newbie out! Thanks in advance!

OnePlus 5 bricked phone - Tried everything

Hello, I'm having the exact same issues as another use on here about the Oneplus 5, but on my older OnePlus. I have tried all the suggesting in the original thread 5 I'll paste the original post below:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/help/please-help-hardbricked-oneplus-5t-t3716057
Dear Community,
I just searched the past 2 days for a solution but I've not been lucky
Therefore I'd like to ask for help in this forum and hope there is some additional hint or hack I could try...:
So here's the situation:
OnePlus 5T (8/128) with a non booting or not "useful" OS (see last point what I've tried)
No TWRP or CWM
Stock Recovery present
Bootloader Locked
Allow Bootloader to be unlocked = FALSE
What I've already tried yet:
Flashing TWRP --> Not possible Bootloader Locked
Flashing regarding any other kinds like "update" or "flash all" as provided with TOOL_ALL_IN_ONE
ADB Sideload any available ROMS (Original "full" OP5T / FreedomOS / Omni8) --> ADB stops at 47% in Stock Recovery regardless of size of the ZIP file
Tried different versions of ADB (32 & 64 Bit / older & new / also with the LargeAddressAware approach / and on multiple PC's) --> Always same error (47%)
Stumbled upon the possibility to EmergencyDownload a factory flash due to Qualcomm chipset using the MSM-Download-Tool --> Only OnePlus 5 ROM available (no "T")
Mentioned EDL procedure works and OS is booting BUT neither Touchscreen nor USB OTG (for external mouse support) is working --> So I can't navigate and allow Bootloader to be unlocked again
Unfortunately I'm now stuck and have no more idea how to unbrick my phone again
What would help:
Any source to MSM-Download-Tool packed with a correct ROM for the OnePlus 5T
A Workaround to just flash TWRP via MSM-Download-Tool or Qualcomm's QFIL application in EDL mode
Some "hack" to bypass the locked Bootloader situation
Every appreciated Input you might have that I'm currently not aware of...
So PLEASE let me know of any approach that I could try or if you might have found a link or something else to a solution that might help me out of this disaster...
Many thanks in advance!
Tryouts due to your feedback:
 @dreinulldrei - "fastboot boot recovery.img" tried with the original 5T Recovery.img also with blu_spark TWRP --> no luck...​
I think I need a remote fix for this.
Thanks in advance!
