None yet i think. Can you access our bootloader by pressing power + volume up button?

Unfortunately no. Tried different methods but had no success.

I don't get why ze550kl can access their bootloader but ze500kl can't. This will really make it hard for devs to tinker around our phone. I hope ASUS will release some kind of bootloader unlock tool.

Can you give me a picture on what it looks like? I can't access the bootloader on my device.

Root method?

I just read about the stagefright bug on the wiki. It says that it allows

an attacker to perform arbitrary operations on the victim device through remote code execution and privilege escalation.

Note that it says privilege escalation. Does that mean it is possible to have a root method by using the stagefright bug?

I have gained access to my bootloader by pressing power button + volume up. The asus splash screen is already the bootloader. (on ze500kl)

Maybe we can achieve root in this exploit but the problem is I think this exploit is not yet disclosed publicly.
