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?
Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom ZE553KL root using Magisk [No need TWRP Recovery
How to root Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom ZE553KL with Magisk [no need TWRP recovery, easy method to rood your Android device.
www.mobilewithdrivers.com
Ho, I have an Asus Zenfone 3 Max ZC520TL X008. Chipset MT6737m. Firmware WW. Android Oreo 8.1. Locked bootloader. I'm desperate.
I would like to root it with Magisk but for this device I don't find any guide or method. The first problem is how to unlock the bootloader? Asus usually releases an unlock tool but they didn't upgrade it for Oreo 8.1.
Is there a way to unlock it without this tool?
I would like to install twrp so I can flash Magisk.
I hope someone can realise a guide o give me some indications. Or if there is no possible with Oreo, there is a tutorial to downgrade Android in this device?
Thank you
unlocking bootloader is the same procedure as usual, isn't it? enable oem unlocking in developer options (do you have this?) and what is the error for fastboot flashing unlock?

thanks for your reply. I don't have that option in developer options. Only debug USB. I don't know what is the usual way to unlock bootloader. I rooted 2 zenfone Asus and for the two I used Asus unlock bootloader tool. But for this model they released the tool for Nougat. After they released Oreo 8.1 and abandoned this device without releasing the unlock tool for Oreo
fastboot available?

no error. I didn't try because for Asus I always used the unlock tool they released and for this reason I wanted to know another way.
I put the smartphone in fastboot mode and give that command right?
Another question I found a root guide for my smartphone but with Nougat. Could I use the twrp they put in that guide even if I have Oreo?
Thank you
i don't understand you. you did not try, or you got no error?
if this is the guide you found, you can use this TWRP as base for porting (if not working out of the box). But you are runnning Oreo and i am not aware about secure boot enabled for this ROM, so i strongly recommend to make a full ROM dump for your device and create your own scatter file, in case you brick your device
it might be possible to unlock bootloader by hexpatching /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/devinfo partition as @Titokhan did for Zenfone 2 Laser, but this is not recommended for daily drivers and you may need the full ROM dump for unbricking with SP Flash Tool
there is bootless root method with suboot script for locked bootloader, but again, this is dangerous for secure boot / dm-verity enabled device. in case any app tries to alter your boot or system partition, this will break boot chain and brick your device
so please don't follow any guides if you not 100% know what you are doing
start with installing MediaTek MT65xx USB VCOM Preloader USB Drivers for Windows, and report back once you managed to see the preloader showing up for ~ 1 second in device manager like this

I didn't try because Asus didn't release their usually app to unlock bootloader for this model with Oreo. The app is available until Nougat and after they abandoned this device. So before installing twrp my first problem is how to unlock the bootloader without this app. So I'm looking for a way to unlock the bootloader. Someone told me to unlock with ADB/Fastboot but I don't know how to do it.
In another way I would like to know if I can downgrade to Nougat with SPflash even if my bootloader is locked so that after I could use the apk unlock bootloader tool for this device.
It is a very negative device for everything. A lot of problems.
This is the guide I found
https://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-189650-1-1.html
It is for my model with Nougat and it uses the Asus tool to unlock the bootloader. I wanted to know if I could use twrp version of this guide.
Thanks for your reply and kindness
yes you can use this twrp.
no you (probably) can't downgrade to nougat because of anti-rollback protection (at least, i don't know). if you wanna try, please follow the steps for full ROM dump (because i strongly recommend to have this backup), first step is install preloader drivers. can you do this please?
Someone told you to unlock bootloader with fastboot. and so did i (the command for unlocking is: fastboot flashing unlock) which is your native language? seems you have problems with reading & understanding (because of language barrier?) my native language is german
I need help urgently. I have a p20 lite ane-lx2 that had an update and got bricked. I tried the dload methot on my SD card but no luck keeps on telling me fail to do update.

And if I boot normally it just gets stuck to system apdate fail and error codes.. Please help
This answer have 2 solutions
1 st solution - using SP flash tool
download android oreo, ANE-L01C432B144 – 8.0.0.144 – Europe
https://www.getdroidtips.com/huawei-p20-lite-b144-oreo-update/
flash stock ROM via SP flash tool
https://flashingguide.com/huawei/how-to-flash-huawei-p20-lite/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 nd solution - using fastboot (adb, terminal, manual, harder, but less likely can go wrong if you follow steps)
https://unofficialtwrp.com/huawei-p20-lite-root-twrp/
just skip step of rooting.
but you need unlocked bootloader:
https://unofficialtwrp.com/how-to-unlock-bootloader-on-huawei-phone-2019-working/
when you flash twrp you need to flash stock ROM via TWRP recovery
download android oreo, ANE-L01C432B144 – 8.0.0.144 – Europe
https://www.getdroidtips.com/huawei-p20-lite-b144-oreo-update/
open TWRP recovery and transfer downloaded stock ROM in phone and flash via TWRP
https://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-install-a-custom-rom-using-twrp-recovery/
and it should do just fine
--------------------
sorry if answer look too hard to understand, just follow instructions on links and my answer how to do it, and it will work

Hi, I'm on official global ROM 12.5.3.0 RKGMIXM
And i turned on OEM Unlocking in developer mode yesterday (Which is confuse me a little a guide said i have to wait for 7 days for this but mine is nothing it's just switched to on)
OEM Unlocking is only one of the steps, but it does not unlock the bootloader. File a request with Xiaomi.
unlock bootloader
i recommend only booting to twrp, not flashing it
flash magisk 23
hide magisk

Aside of that instruction, actually is it 'dangerous' if we install the TWRP? What 'bad things' would/may happen if we install it? (Because I see some guides about installing it on RN10, like this one for example, and I was almost followed that guide).
Risk of bootloop

Risk of bootloop and fastboot loop... because this twrp is modded to be booted and then flashed (you can found the option in advanced)
One time i faced a fastboot loop once i flashed directly the twrp , that's why i recommend booting it first and then , flashing

Please confirm these;
*So we can:
Use TWRP only temporarily, only to root the phone (by flashing Magisk v23),
and then,
back to using the stock recovery on our RN10 afterward,
even if the RN10 is already rooted?
**If the answer for my question above is yes, then (in RN10 condition of Unlocked Boot Loader, Rooted, Stock MIUI & Stock Recovery) ;
Would we still get official OTA Update from Xiaomi (and can download and install the update- as how it's like before rooting the phone)?
Thank you in advance
It's an unnecessarily complicated procedure. Just flash a modified boot.img for your Miui using fastboot from your PC. If you don't have the ability to modify the boot.img on another rooted phone yourself, request a modified boot.img with the exact update version of your Miui here.

Thanks again, (and maybe I will try your suggestion later).. but (sorry)... your reply doesn't answer my questions.
(I think my questions are very clear and probably very easy to be answered by someone who has experience/knowledge about it (like you?).. no?)
Forgive my nooby questions.
But I really want to know as much as I can (especially about the answer for some questions I have inside my head about the matter, like I asked above),.. before executing doing something about my phone.
oops... I'm sorry for double send
In the past I rooted Miui and then continued to get OTA updates. However, this cannot be confirmed for all versions of Miui. Each new update changes the phone software and so what worked before may not work today.

Hi, I'm unlocked my phone and installed the orange fox it's the custom recovery right? Because it say so.
If yes, By Flash Magisk ZIP how to do that? Please explain the detailed steps, Thanks.
First of all, I would like to point out that Magisk (root) is a security risk. Without understanding the issues, the phone is more easily exploitable.
To install, just download the magisk file with the ZIP extension. In recovery, select the install option and select this file. Once installed, exit recovery and boot the system. Once the system boots, use magisk and complete the installation it requests.

the answer above is right ... but i would suggest to flash Orange Fox zip and then Magisk zip... to avoid problems
isn't there decrypt.zip for RN10?
How to decrypt this phone?
I usually did that along with rooting with my android phones before this.
Edit:
Update:
It's ok now I understand how, after watching this video.
