HOW TO INSTALL TWRP AND ROOT ASUS ZENFONE MAX (Z010D) Android 6.0.1 [ww_13.8.26.31 ]

[jide1]

Hi, the model is Z010D, booting in csc mode it's reported as:
"LeMobile Android Device" and "Android Bootloader interface" under it

the same in recovery mode, but just now i've realized that in recovery there are those info:
asus/WW_Phone/ASUS_Z010
6.0.1/MMB29P/13.8.26.110-20180110
user/release-keys


and in the lower part of the screen it's written:
E: unknown volume for path [/factory]
E: unknown volume for path [/factory]
Supported API: 3

Download firmware https://www.mediafire.com/file/c99q1tgcasrd8u9/UL-ASUS_Z010-WW-13.8.26.110-user.zip/file place on external sd card, boot into recovery, in recovery choose "update from sd' and see what happens.

Is there anything like 9008 displayed in device manager ? Check "ports"

 

[flashback_pa]

Is there anything like 9008 displayed in device manager ? Check "ports"

Don't know yet, but wanna add that:
the led is always on and green
if connected to the usb port, the phone won't turn on, just a quick vibration after several seconds pushing the power button...to turn it on i need to detach the usb cable...

While turning on it's reported as usb mtp device and then asus cd something else....
Isn't it quite strange that the device is always on (judging from the green led) ?

Just connect to pc, doesn't matter wether on or not, then open device manager, go to the ports section and see if there's anything resembling "9008" there.
