Try Framaroot, maybe this oneclick tool works for you. You can find it here on xda.

didn't work either :(

Why this device doesn't root yet?! I mean this is xda forum! the best professional forum about these issues... how there isn't any method?!

They say it is the same phone as zenfone, there is root tool for zenfone on this forum, but checks the version and tells you it is for zenfone only.Now maybe if the dev has removed the check, i would try it.

Rootkit from zenfone4

Hello

I've receive the new padfone mini last week (intel version 4").

During update (without rootkit !) to the official update Asus, i've softbrick the device.
They are no recovery mode in the droidboot menu (possible to edit in xml file ?)
Only the fastboot menu is ok (no the adb).
OEM unlock in not supported.

conclusion : brick and no CWM or TWRP recovery/boot available

Test with many files from Zenfone4, but signKey not good and i don't know how change key and rebuild the .img

i can't test this APK rootkit before bricking my device ... search over the asus-zenfone.com rootzenfone-144r-apk
may be compatible with Mini ?

Waiting feedback to test all solutions

In snapdragon T00c version you can choose the rom update from sdcard, in stock recovery menu, i downgraded successfully from asus stock rom. Now if only someone has moded the rom to be rooted, then we would see the light :)

Just rooted with Kingo root app,everything works fine.(Padfone mini 4.3 T00C version)
Hey, great news. Just trying it myself, but it seems to go "downloading requisite dependency files, waiting for device, checking root status" in loop for some time now. Is there anything i have missed. Which version of rom do you have ? I have 10.14.6.61 latest. Thanks for any help.

I've rooted and unrooted a bit for testing,so make sure to plug the phone without the station,don't update the firmware at the recent 10.14.6.65 only the .61 works,the weirdest part is that you have to try a bit of time,continue trying until it works if the phone reboots during the proces a good sign.

checking root status

    Xhay can you confirm you rooted ?
    Yes, I rooted 2 times.


    Which version should I download the firmware to downgrade? And how do you restore the older firmware? If you do not ask too much, would be possible a step by step guideo to obtain root permissions of the device?:D;)


    That is what I have done:

    - First: I had firmware .65. Download firmware .61 ( asus.com/it/support/Download/29/1/0/5/32 ), put .rar in sd card, turn off, press power button with volume -, click on "download sd card", click upgrade external, search file, confirm. Open King root, enable debug usb, wait connection, follow instructions. The phone would reboot. Wait confirm (prntscr.com/54kxqy).

    -Second: I had firmware .61. I reinstalled firmware, but root didn't work. I update to .65, downgrade to .61 (as first time) and root worked.
