Moto E6S XT-2053-1 Unlock Bootloader, Disable Verity, ROOT Magisk, TWRP - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am perfom this Sorry for my english, I am from Ukraine
Download archive!
We unpack. Install the adb and mtk preloader drivers, if they are not installed, restart the computer.
In the smart, turn on the developers menu, in it - "Allow OEM unlock" and "USB debugging" and connect the smart to the computer.
We drop valuable photo data from the smart to the computer for any, and, without disconnecting the smart from the PC, run the script (with the phone connected to the PC and loaded into the android phone. Reboot_to_fastboot_getvar current-slot.bat (not from the admin, just click twice).
Smart will look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
we allow - put a daw, ok. We are waiting for the smart to reboot into fastboot, when the barcode appears on the smart screen, before that we do not press anything in the script
I did the scripts step by step, after each operation in the script window, press enter to continue, and so on until each script is closed
We look at our current slot in the window and remember the letter - a or b:
In the script, press enter so that the smart reboots and the script closes.
Run flash_tool.exe, go to this tab and check the boxes, as in the screenshot:
So we consider the necessary versions of orig. files, so as not to download and sew a specific firmware version for this instruction.
(And best of all, all the checkboxes, except for system, vendor, userdata - they are not critical, if they are not removed, it will take up a lot of space on the computer up to +74 gb, but I did not put these checkboxes, there must be some risk and passion )
We press "Read Back" and only then we connect the switched off smart to the PC, we wait, at the end we disconnect the bodies, do not touch it: sveta:
Go to this tab, remove all checkboxes! And we only put on lk_ with the letter of a non-your slot that we looked at, for example, you had slot "a" - so we put a check on lk_b and vice versa :
Click "Download" and connect the switched off smart to the PC (it was already turned off: sveta
As it flashes, we close the USB flash drive window, disconnect and turn on the smart, after loading, we connect it to the PC again, we already run the script
Unlock_Moto_E6S.bat, wait until the body reboots into a fastboot (to the barcode on the screen) and only then press the input step by step to continue in the script until it is completely closed.
Everything, the bodies are unlocked. Now you can get an excellent and fast root from Magisk, try other firmware, unsubscribe which one is buggy, which one flies. I haven't tried yet. Now I will write how to flash orig. kernel with magisk root (attached magisk boot for xt2053-1 4/64 fw RETEU 288-60-6-29 https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/fiji/official/RETEU/
Additionally, there is a script in the folder to delete the message when loading that the bootloader is unlocked, it does not interfere much, but I deleted it. Since this is not important, I separated it from the main script, since I did not test it on different versions of the firmware, in theory it should work on all versions, you can try after unlock. Or throw off ROM_45 from your firmware, I'll remove it from it. I now have the latest firmware flashed, it is on the server, but for some reason it did not fly through the air. If you flash it, then you can safely delete the message from the bootloader with my script, there is a file from it)

I took the first firmware I got to try from here: https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?showtopic=892755
but the firmware itself is everywhere, for example here:

You can try to sew any GSI arm64 a/b from anywhere you find and choose the one you like, because smart supports Project Treble.
If you like one and will look cool and work firmware, post links here!

Tested it and it worked! Thanks a lot!
Now looking for delevoping some roms to this device

Im having a little problem, i tried to flash a GSI with "fastboot -u flash system gsi.img", the device didn't boot. Then i tried to flash the stock with the SP Flash Tool, and i throws an error (status_sec_dl_ forbidden), then i flashed it with Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant. I tried to flash via fastboot the patched magisk image but it throws an signature error.
Any help? Tha device still says that is unlocked

did you use the auth file that comes with sp flash tool? without that your device wont boot properly

Yes, i used the correct download agent and auth file

interesting, i followed all his steps and had no problem rooting it. try backtracking with his scripts again?

Solved it, also me and a developer are working on a new, more simple and automated script. Still haven't figured out how to flash the lk via script.
When is done i will post a complete guide in the moto e6s forums on how to do it, i think it might work well, but i would have to test in a non-unlocked device

Can someone please make a video with explanation, I didn't understand very well what is done, so I won't touch anything, but I thank those who record a video explaining it to me (I'm Brazilian)

Here you have a more straight forward guide, note that is still in testing

Reinstall/Install MM/N on WiFi/LTE YOGA BOOK

This is the stock Rom of N & M for Yoga Book LTE & WIFI for the needers
if any dev want to help me developing a dual boot for Yoga Book, just PM me or join Telegram Group for Yoga Book devs and users:
MOD EDIT: LINK REMOVED
Prees the Thanks button if that helps you​
How to install it:
Be careful, these steps will erase all your data on tablet and will downgrade rom (stock marshmallow)
First of all: read and understand all of the instructions.
1. Download the stock ROM
https://cloud.kolyandex.su/index.php/s/4WDt6ghOzHAyP4s (Nougat WiFi version)
https://easy-firmware.com/home/browse/category/id/19521/ (Marshmallo LTE version)
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634799507 (Marshmallo WiFi version)
2. Extract it to some folder
3. Download Intel Platform Tool Lite from here: https://01.org/android-ia/downloads/intel-platform-flash-tool-lite
4. Install Intel Platform Tool Lite
4. Boot into fastboot mode
5. Run Intel Platform Tool Lite
6. Make sure your tablet is recognized by the tool (otherwise you need to enable USB-debug in Developer settings)
7. Select "flash_update_from_eng.json" from folder in (2)
8. Push "start to flash"
9. Wait... (You should check tablet's screen in order to lock/unlock bootloader (it should be locked after flash in order to install OTA updates))
10. Reboot tablet
11. Your keyboard might not work: that is normal (just use on-screen keyboard for now)
12. After initial setup: open Contacts app, create new one (if there are no contacts yet), tap search and enter ####6020#
13. Choose your region
14. Reboot
15. Setup again (now halo should work)
16. Go into settings -> about -> updates and update till the last version (may take several hours)
17. Say thanks for alexjustes for his Amazing Steps
Thank you so much for posting this!
Have you tried flashing this through @danjac's TWRP build? I know trying to restore any nandroid backup made after the OTA upgrade to Nougat results in a boot loop.

I'm 99% sure this isn't flashable in custom recovery, at least without some modification and repackaging. It's a package designed for Intel Phone Flash Tools.
Still a huge asset, though, so thanks again!

Same, it can only flashed through fastboot mode
I got myself into quite the pickle today. I've been considering selling my Yogabook to switch to a Chromebook 2-in-1. I wanted to get the device back to as full vanilla as possible. I "thought" the first step was to lock the bootloader again and then do a full factory reset, apparently not... After booting back up from locking the bootloader I kept getting an Intel "bootloader error code 01" and Android would not start. It would take me to fastboot mode on it's own but I was unable to use the power button to make a selection and the device would just power off after 5 minutes. Thankfully from there or fore powering off I could hold Volume up on startup and get to fastboot manually or recovery. It being in a locked state now though I couldn't do much of anything else, no flashing anything other than loader, no format, no erase, and TWRP was not able to be booted.
Anyway I finally read a post about DNX mode and how to get to it, but nothing on how to really use it or any decent information imho. After finally finding some users on another part of the forum discussing a DNX flashing tool made for their devices HTC I went searching for a tool for the Lenovo. Lenovo has nothing for this (shame on you Lenovo!) but Intel does have it and it can be used with the recovery image posted above in this thread (and I assume all the others running around). And here is the URL for the tool
https://01.org/android-ia/downloads/intel-platform-flash-tool-lite
You just have to load a valid JSON file containing the proper config information for the ROM you are flashing iwithin the Intel tool. For this particular version of the ROM I did have to modify the "flash_recover_dnx.json" file to remove this section
Code:
{
"duration" : 5000,
"restrict" : null,
"tool" : "sleep"
},
Otherwise the flash tool would not load it due to the a bad tool from this JSON config named "tool". No other changes to the settings of the Intel flashing tool were needed.
Just click "Start to Flash" and once it was done all was well. Took a little over five minutes, it unlocked, flashed, and locked the device again itself.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
No more Intel error stating the device isn't secure every reboot. I did lose all my data that was on it doing this but I wasn't worried about that going into it.
After initial setup in Android I did have to do the trick noted here to get the Halo keyboard working again which then required initial setup once more.
Hope this helps others.
@MarkAllen, thank you for your valuable information. This will help people unbrick their devices.

The tool does not recognized my device
Please help to flash my yoga book.
Got these with the stock .json file as described above:
06/18/18 12:00:01.188 ERROR : No description value in command sleep
06/18/18 12:00:01.188 ERROR : Cannot create command with tool "sleep"
06/18/18 12:00:01.188 ERROR : Tool sleep not found or invalid tool configuration
Opened that file in notepad and deleted the sleep section - started flashing.
The usb drivers are definitely required, I lost the connection because they weren't loaded. I installed them and refreshed device manager and she started receiving the flash.
Used Win7 to flash also, the intel page says its not supported.
Flash success and locked bootloader after entering the country code - thanks very much all!

I have been away for a while. Why should I want to install this rom?
Ok I wanted to reset this tablet because the SystemUI ap was using %25 of the cpu constantly, I do not know when and hopw this piece of **** got to that level of crappy update, must be some google crap
- Can I unlock the OEM bootloader?
- Can I still use the twrp->Magisk method to root this?
thanks

[Release] VKWorld VK6735X - A working TWRP image

The problem that I've put into quotation below has been solved and here's what happened: I've basically been an idiot.
After I had gotten TWRP ported I did a reboot from TWRP into the system. But little did I knew that when I swiped for the reboot into the system, I had accepted to let the TWRP flash a SuperSU that wasn't compatible with the phone (some SuperSU were for whatever phone my TWRP originally intended to be for), hence breaking it.
First of all the exact phone we're talking about is this one.
The important thing to notice is that VK6735X is not the same as VK6735, which has got its own thread over here. According to that thread the so-called TWRP image (by the way it's not TWRP, but some Russian trash) over there could be flashed flawlessly whereas with my phone it didn't work that way.
Which brings us to the topic: Through my journey of Google searching for a TWRP image that actually works with my phone I've stumbled across a lot of things which I'll be summing up.
I've found an actually working stock ROM for this phone. You can download it along with the handy flash tool from the original source since it's probably a little big to be uploaded as attachment.
I've found a TWRP 3.0 image from another random website which I've successfully managed to port to this phone, or in the attachment.
I've discovered the tool called Carliv Image Kitchen, which made extracting and repacking boot.img and recovery.img extremely easy.
With that said I've basically ported and flashed TWRP as my recovery, though here's the problem: Booting up the system results in a bootloop...
So according to what I'm understanding it's due to some dm-verity garbage (yes, I'm just the kind of guy who hates it when a piece of human invention dares to defy the wish of its master) is preventing the system from loading because the inferior recovery that came out of the closet suddenly became straight, *cough *cough I mean because I've replaced the useless stock recovery with TWRP. Now this can apparently be fixed through porting or modifying the boot.img, right?
So here are my questions: What do I have to modify about the boot.img (or any other image) in order to stop the system from bootlooping over the fact that I've replaced the inferior recovery with TWRP?
Don't worry about me though, I can re-flash it anyway and plus it's not my main phone.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Either way, you came here for the TWRP image that's working for your VKWorld VK6735X so you can find that, as well as the flashing tool I used from my Google Drive folder.
But before all of that I obviously have to tell the same boring warning: I'm not responsible if you lose your data or brick your phone! Make sure to have backup for whatever you don't want to lose!
Head to the Google Drive folder, download the two zip files to your pc (lol not your phone), extract them anywhere you like and follow the steps below:
From the extraction of "Flash VK6735X.zip", install the drivers from the "Driver" folder. Windows might be acting stupid because it's Windows.
After installing the drivers, run "flash_tool.exe" which is located in the folder called "SP Flash Tool v5.1708"
(Optional) Go to your phone settings, go to "About phone" and tap the "Build Number" until you've unlocked the Developer options.
(Optional) Then go to the Developer options and enable "OEM unlocking" as well as "USB debugging", honestly you don't have to but why not...
Power off your phone and take out the battery
Back to the flashing tool you've opened in step 2: Load a so-called "Scatter-loading File" and select the file "MT6735M_Android_scatter.txt" which you've extracted from the "TWRP port for VK6735X.zip" file. The "recovery.img" file must be located in the same directory so do not separate those!!
Leave your phone battery removed and do not connect your phone to your pc yet: Press the download button
After pressing the download button you can connect your battery'less phone to your pc, no need to hurry since the flashing tool will only start once your phone's connected.
Wait 'till the flashing tool pops up a small green window saying it's done.
At this point you can place the battery back into your phone and unplug it from your pc.
Congratulations, you've installed TWRP.
Step 6:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And this is step 7:
How to get into TWRP:
Hold down the volume up button, then press and hold down the power button whilst still holding the volume+ button and wait.
In a few seconds you'll see three tiny options on your screen, with the volume up button you'll select between the three options and with volume down button you'll enter them.
Choose Recovery.
Be cautious: DO NOT swipe in any situation inside TWRP before you've read what it says, otherwise you may accidentally flash a SuperSU that isn't compatible with your phone and get the exact same problem that I've described in the quotation section of this post xD
Lastly you can find the Stock ROM inside the "Firmware" folder, if you select the scatter file inside this firmware folder with your flashing tool you can basically flash your phone back to stock.
Root + Viper4Android
Once you've successfully installed TWRP rooting this phone becomes amazingly simple!! Download the latest Magisk zip file and apk from the official thread and follow their instructions: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Magisk v16 works for this phone, although mine does crash quite often when I'm scrolling through the module list.
Next up is Viper4Android: Installing this is as simple as going through the Magisk modules and finding the right one to install. There are multiple Viper4Android modules whereas I've picked the one made by Viper520, ZhuHang, Team_Dewitt, Ahrion and Zackptg5.
So here are the Magisk Modules I've got working for this phone so far:
Viper4Android FX Materialized
Magisk Manager for Recovery Mode
ADB & Fastboot for Android NDK
For some reason "Xposed Framework (SDK 22)" gave me a boot loop so that's a pity.
Luckily I've got Xposed Framework v89 working through using an apk from this thread and flashing the zip from the original with TWRP.
Here are Xposed Modules I've verified working so far:
GravityBox LP
Flat Style Bar Indicators
AFWall+ (some kind of fixes and such)
Youtube AdAway
Then lastly I've got F-Droid installed without any trouble so I've got myself Adaway and some other handy stuff from there as well.

[GUIDE] How to dump boot image and root Nokia 3.2 / 4.2

If you want to repost this guide to other websites, please let me know before you repost.
For Chinese users: 中文版教程将会在dospy发布。
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So after you unlock the bootloader successfully, you definitely want to install custom ROM, or at least root the phone, right?
Here's the guide about rooting Nokia 3.2 / 4.2.
This guide could probably work on Nokia 6.2 / 7.2 in the future.
Step 1: Unlock the bootloader
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-4-2/how-to/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-nokia-4-2-t3962402
For Nokia 3.2, you'll need to read this as well: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-3-2/how-to/guide-how-to-trigger-nokia-3-2-to-edl-t3962841
Step 2: Acknowledge current slot
You have two methods.
Method 1: After USB debugging enabled, execute this command:
Code:
adb shell getprop ro.boot.slot_suffix
Method 2: Under fastboot mode, execute this command:
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
We assume the current slot is b.
Step 3: Trigger the phone to EDL mode again
There's a hidden command in aboot known as "fastboot reboot-emergency".
However, normal fastboot binary doesn't have that command at all, so we need to compile a binary or hack the binary.
For Windows users, I've provided the fastboot binary that can use this command, and I renamed it to edl-fastboot.exe. You can download it on the attachment below.
For macOS/Linux distro users, I'm afraid you have to fork the source code, edit related content and compile yourself.
So with this special version of fastboot binary, we can boot the phone to EDL mode directly:
Code:
edl-fastboot.exe reboot-emergency
But wait, why didn't you mention this command when you released bootloader unlock guide?
That's because, if you attempt to use this command under locked bootloader, bootloader will response "Permission denied, auth needed. " and refuse to proceed the command.
I don't know how the authentication is done yet, but it's definitely not something that average developers can access to.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 4: Use partition manager to dump the partition
If you've came so far when unlocking the bootloader, you have already know the great partition manager.
Still, we assume the COM port number is 8 (COM8).
When the partition list appears, find "boot_b" (or boot_a if the current slot is a), right click on it, choose "Manage Partition Data" and click "Read Data". Then fh_loader binary will dump the boot image to your PC.
For Windows users, it's located at
Code:
%AppData%\Qualcomm\QFIL\COMPORT_8
Where %AppData% is actually C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Roaming .
The filename looks like this: ReadData_emmc_Lun0_0x3a000_Len65536_DT_07_09_2019_13_55_54.bin
Now close the partition manager, your phone will exit EDL mode and boot normally.
If you're interested in dumping full eMMC storage, you may want to read this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-how-to-dump-write-storage-t3949588
Step 5: Install Magisk Manager and patch the boot image you dumped
I think everyone who reading this guide knows where to download Magisk Manager.
Copy the boot image you dumped with QFIL to Download directory in your phone's internal storage, and rename it to boot.img for your convenience.
In case you don't know how to patch, read this guide: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#boot-image-patching
Step 6: Flash patched boot image and reinstall Magisk for ensurance
After you pulled patched boot image from your phone, reboot your phone to fastboot mode, then execute these commands:
Code:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
fastboot reboot
Note, temporarily boot method introduced back for old A/B devices like Nokia 7 Plus no longer works on Nokia 3.2 / 4.2 - it will boot your phone to Qualcomm 900E mode.
Once your phone booted to normal OS, open Magisk Manager, and reinstall Magisk and required runtime to make the root much more effective.
You may want to read this guide if you want to inherit root along with OTA update: https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/tutorials.html#ota-installation
Extra info about custom rom:
I've tested PHH-Treble GSI on Nokia 4.2 and it made me disappointed.
The vendor compatibility is worse than FIH made Android Phones.
You may want to read this for more details: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/Nokia-4.2
Next preview: Stock firmware reinstallation guide. Note, Nokia 3.2 / 4.2 are not made by FIH, so OST LA no longer works on both devices.
Special thanks:

my pc doesn't detect the phone when its in edl mode. before people start asking I unlocked the bootloader by enabling oem unlock in the phone settings.
I have a TA-1156 (a 3.2 variant) that has a different mainboard layout. For quite a while, I tried in vain to bring it into EDL mode - until I just tried the fastboot command "flash unlock" which worked.
I guess I should have tried that right away as I did have the OEM unlocking option in the developer setup.
Anyway, now I'm unlocked but can't access the partitions with the QFIL partition manager. I suspect the phone expects a different programmer than prog_emmc_firehose_8937_ddr.
I can enter EDL mode easily now with the patched fastboot exe. The correct driver is active and QFIL detects the phone. However, as soon as I follow the instructions by setting the programmer, and then try to start the partition manager, the phone stops responding.
After a while, I get a "sahara" error about no reply from the phone.
I wonder if someone has a stock boot.img of the Nokia 3.2 (build 00EEA) lying around ...
Here is someone else's photo of the mainboard (I just realized that it's actually from hikari_calyx!) but on mine, the right one of the test points you marked in your 3.2 variant does not exist, so I edited it out in the photo:

My guess was right. Now I'm able to reply to myself with a solution.
I tried a different prog_emmc_firehose_8937_ddr than the one provided by @hikari_calyx in the unlock thread
There is a programmer with the same name in this firmware:
sprout-015B-0-00WW-B01 .rar
It's provided by @bouyhy01 in his rooting thread.
The size of the programmer file is slightly different:
Code:
hikari_calyx: 428,936 bytes
Firmware: 428,944 bytes
Long story short: the different programmer worked in QFIL, so the partition manager worked as well, I got my own boot image, patched, flashed and had root - finally ... Thanks for all the research work, hikari_calyx and bouyhy01 !
Attached is the working programmer file, in case anyone else stumbles upon the same problem. By the way, my phone has the October security patch installed which is currently the latest available.

I guess the only point can be connected to the ground, for example, the RF shield is grounded.

Thanks for info. Mine Nokia 3.2 is a prototype unit, so I don't know the situation of other versions of Nokia 3.2.
Hello, I have tried this manual for rooting Nokia 4.2 with last security update of 5th of November. After 5 step (flashing patched boot image) my phone try to reboot and then asked for factory reset (Can't load android system - Your data may be corrupt). After making factory reset there were no root at all.
What can i do next ?
PS. It's strange enough when i download boot_b image it was 63.4 Mb snd when i have patched it by Magisk manager - the size od magisk_patched.img became 10.2 Mb

Also this only works if the phone is carrier locked. For example if it was sold by ATaT and you will try to insert a T-Mobile sim it wont work.... This will not magically remove pin code from the simcard
I am overwhelmed with the many types of models referenced by system within the firmware included with the device. If you access the following paths from an example MiXplorer file explorer, you will understand what I mean.
1- Go to /system/media/video
There you will notice multimedia related to what appears to be part of a promotion for various device models: TCL L7 5102P, Optus X Sight, Smart P11, TELSTRA Essential Plus 3, Alcatel 1B
All of them relatively similar, just a search on the web for each of them and the specifications will vary, they are almost related.
2- Go to /system/aio_custom/resources
there you will notice a sea of directories with information on Alcatel 1B models and maybe other models mentioned above. You can see for yourself there will be around 764 folders for quite a while, some with alphanumeric names I will cite some examples as there are too many:
5002A, 5002B, 5002D, 5002E, 5002F, 5002H...
Something that I have noticed in common within the various models mentioned in the 1st directory is that there is no reference to unlocking the bootloader, much less TWRP or any custom Rom. TCL has taken security on these devices seriously by limiting and hiding many things, mainly disabling OEM unlocking.
Due to technical limitations, and no further interest from other developers, im stopping any developement for this phone...
I have an Alcatel 1B (2022) 5031g and i can't understand why when I boot into fastboot mode with
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
and try
Code:
fastboot devices
nothing shows up. It's a new phone. Can someone help?

When I connect the phone at the last step I can not find a port in QFIL when the phone is connected. When you boot the phone to connect to QFIL what menu are you in? I get nothing when I hold vol up + down + power, but when I hold Vol up + power until logo and then let go of the power and continue to hold Vol up, the only menu I can get to seems to be Android recovery with reboot system now, apply update from sd, factory reset, clear cache partition, and power off.
This is a 2020 1b... what am I missing here? Thanks, for your time.

How To Guide Rooting Zenfone 9 with Magisk

Guide has been reworked to be more clear and based on comments.
[Part One]
Backup Data
Update phone to latest version
[Part Two]
Download the Firmware for the Zenfone 9 https://www.asus.com/mobile/phones/zenfone/zenfone-9/helpdesk_download/​
Download Payload GUI. https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachments/payload-dumper-gui-v2-3-zip.5758127/ (Hermann2306 credit for mentioning)​
Extract the Payload Dumper GUI zip file, as well as the UL-ASUS Firmware zip file​
Run the Payload Dumper GUI program in the unzipped folder. A file explorer window will pop up; open the unzipped UL-ASUS Firmware folder and select the payload.bin file. Another file explorer window will pop up; select the UL-ASUS Firmware folder if not already selected, then click select folder in the bottom right.​
Click Dump on the Payload Dumper GUI Application. The files will be output to the UL-ASUS Firmware folder.​
[Part Three]
Download Magisk and install onto phone via APK. https://magiskmanager.com/downloading-magisk-manager/
Plug phone into computer and allow file transfer.
Within the UL-ASUS Firmware folder there will be a boot.img file. Move this file onto the phone.
Open the Magisk application and follow image below, select the boot.img to patch
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
A file will be output with magisk. Move this file back onto the PC, and rename to boot.img
[Part Four]
Unlock Zenfone 9 Bootloader. Asus provides a bootloader unlock tool on their website. Below is the link directly to the apk. https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZS590KS/AsusUnlock_1.0.0.7_210127_fulldpi.apk
Install the drivers listed below for the phones recovery mode https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZS590KS/ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows_20160331.zip (Asus Driver Xanker commented. Thank you again)
[Part Five]
Download Minimal ADB and extract files https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754459552
Move Boot.img file into Minimal ADB extracted folder.
Put Zenfone into recovery mode and connect to PC. Recovery mode can be achieved by turning off the phone and then powering on whilst holding the volume up button. Release when the ASUS logo pops on screen.
Run cmd-here.exe in the Minimal ADB folder; a command window will open
As a test run the command listed below and it should output a device fastboot devices
If that test succeeded run the final command to flash, fastboot flash boot boot.img
The command prompt command didn't run. Said it was not recognized. Is there a specific place the .exe need to be in the directory?
NVM...got it.
@BreadNoose Thanks for the write-up!!!
I just got the phone 2 days ago and have been trying to follow your steps but without success. I keep having issues with fastboot (I've probably spent 6+ hours on it; I also have a 9-5 job haha). The following are things I've tried:
*Btw, OEM unlock is not showing in Developers options. Download unlock app and I think my OEM is unlocked but in recovery it says "Yes" next to Bootloader thing.
-ADB works fine.
-Download Platform from Google.
-Tried ADB minimal from xda also.
-I tried three laptops, two windows 11 and the other windows 10. None of them recognize fastboot.
- When I go to device manager I see Asus phone listed with that yellow triangle sign and when I try to update the driver it either says drivers up to date or if I manually try to update it says some other error.
- Try different cables.
- I even disabled the driver signature in the restart menu but no success.
-I tried using Asus 8 drivers thinking that would help but nothing.
I wonder if it's just the Asus 9 driver that's the issue? What am I missing???
Any idea?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Had the same Problem, you have to use this driver:
https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZS590KS/ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows_20160331.zip
The image version that I just downloaded seems to be at a higher version (WW-32.2030.2030.26 as opposed to WW-32.2004.2004.84 on my phone) and the phone doesn't have that version available (I haven't unlocked the bootloader yet). Should I update locally or download the earlier version of the image instead?
If your phone has the 2004 version installed extract the boot.img from the downloaded 2004 Payload.bin. Or you can update your phone and use the 2030 boot.img.
For me it works with the 2030 version. Root installed, everything ok (AdAway, Postbank (BankingApp)).
If you want to pass SafetyNet just install the magisk module from https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix/releases/tag/v2.3.1 and reboot.
OK, rooted with no issues, I needed to install the asus drivers and had to reset a second time because the USB stopped working. However, I can't get Google wallet to work despite all other banking apps working as well as passing safetynet.
I dont use wallet, but if installed i can run it and start the setup, no errors.
Maybe try it with the use of denylist.

Doesn't work, the guide asks for denying google system apps which doesn't work because they are always off deny list (this is intended behaviour)
For the record, every other payment apps I am using, even the ones that check for safetynet are working. YASNAC returns a both pass basic.
Then i am sorry (Im too new to the whole android stuff, still learning)
Just for interest, can you start and configure wallet (error comes first if you want to pay)?

Wallet is configurable, it's just that when you save your card details and it starts contacting the bank it would jump to an error saying that the system is modified.
Maybe try this? (I think you have already read/tried it)
[Magisk] Google wallet (pay) with magisk
Saw on reddit that some people have issues with google pay, since the new update added some new checks. So here is what you do: - Update Magisk to 25.2, Update magisk app to 25.2 as well - Rename Magisk app if you havent already - [ OPTIONAL ]...
forum.xda-developers.com
Does someone rooted a 16GB ram Zenfone 9? My software is 32.2004.2004.74.
Can not find this software at Asus website.
I have rooted the 16gb version (32.2030.2030.26).
Why dont make an update before root?
