ASUS Zenfone 5 root for WW-2.22.40.54 (4.4.2) firmware

[sigoshere]

What should I do if one day I want to unroot the z5?

Installed SuperSU application have built-in full unroot option. It can be also done through fastboot, but you're just 3rd person in this topic - I think about this possibility when more people want this option.

When you're installing new firmware with adb sideload, phone will be automatically unrooted (because /system partition will be formatted).

If you wanna unroot you can always sideload the same or higher rom version. That should fully unroot your phone.

sigonshare: Dzięki za roota Piwko się należy (Thanks for the root in Polish).

At first: Do you have 2.22.40.54 firmware already and you just need to root your phone? Right?

About the: open terminal in asus z5 root directory. When you download the rooting package:
1. Extract this (I suppose you're using windows).
2. Click right mouse button on the extracted directory.
3. Select something like "open command window here" from menu (like on the example screenshot).
4. Continue with provided simple manual.

At this moment I don't have possibility to create pic/video tutorial. In next few days I'll write little more instructions in manual.

As an author of the script I guarantee that any data wouldn't be overwritten - this is completely safe for your settings, files etc. Just make sure that you have correct version of firmware.

i am new to zf5,
any tutorial will be good as i cant understand how to go in sideload ?
i am very familiar with recovery and other things.
also some questions,
1.) should i need bootloader unlocked for this ? if yes, how to unlock?
2.) will my data wipe off during bootloader unlock or rooting ? ( i know rooting will not effect on data but i think bootloader unlocking will wipe, not sure about it )


p.s. i am already on WW-2.22.40.54

after
"Root phone

fastboot flash recovery files/root/recovery.img
fastboot flash update files/root/dummy.zip
adb reboot bootloader"


do i need to perform this too?
"Restore vanilla files

fastboot flash fastboot files/vanilla/fastboot.img
fastboot flash recovery files/vanilla/recovery.img
fastboot flash dnx files/vanilla/dnx_fwr_ctp_a500cg.bin
fastboot flash ifwi files/vanilla/ifwi_ctp_a500cg.bin
fastboot reboot"


My phone restarted normal mode after "fastboot flash update files/root/dummy.zip"

it seems rooted after this command.

Is fastboot for Asus working on linux

in the links you have provided, you have put a shell script for rooting it in linux. But I have Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and fastboot never worked for me. I did install from apt-get and got udev rules from cyanogenmod forum. adb works fine for me but not fastboot. fastboot even does not list the device. what are you using? What extra config did you do for fastboot to work :crying:

You should perform this actions, because it will restore original (from official firmware) flashed files (fastboot, recovery etc).

Extra: if you have problem with your camera after rooting, it will 100% resolve this problem.
