How to root the Zenfone 3 Laser ZC551kl ?

It is still not possible, first you need to unlock the bootloader and for this we have to wait for the unlock app ... if they will release it.

Sent from my ASUS_Z01BD using XDA Labs

When it will be possible to unlock bootloader for zenfone 3 laser zc551kl..

Why do you need to unlock the bootloader just for rooting? The default bootloader allows flashing a zip and adb access -- the issue is that I cannot find image files with rooted /system/bin/su - any help?

I found a tool called SRS Root that you could try. I don't know if it works though because I have no intention to root my phone.

I Tried Bro, But that's failed... Cmon, Different Solutions Please

I tried that tool aswell, it says "Rooting completed" but the device isn't rooted at all.
Got this message aswell

Getting OffSets.. : error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported. (False)

Anyway wanted to root only to bypass dun check from vodafone, apparently didn't need to have root permissions.

Even with boot loader unlocked we would still need a custom recovery but there aren't any out yet for this phone.

Is anyone here compiling TWRP recovery for this phone? As I understand it, TRWP is open source and up to the individual to instigate. I have never compiled before. Had a few days of coding classes for web design... But I am willing to do the work if I can. I did not buy this phone for the ZenUI... it has much potential, yes. Anyone here able to give me tips on how to start this process? I want to do the work, just dont know how.

Good luck dude, and don't stress about bricking your phone, just backup your recovery partition beforehand and you can always flash it through fastboot mode.

Alright, great to see there is demand. Thanks for the nods guys. I will be working on compiling TRWP for OmniROM during the mornings PST, until noon. Right now work means researching what it is I am actually doing, L! So far reading up on the AOSP site and OmniROM wiki and will follow the TWRP guide posted here on XDA. I will update here in a week with my progress. If I think I can do it, I will start a thread on XDA to follow and a GIT repo.

I think all I will really need is the device information to plug in to an existing tree. So thats the angle Im taking, if theres any tips please pass em on!

Thanks again!

Thanks mate, well done.

Mate, wish you success

@ biaeuaer
Mate, any update on TWRP?

 

[biaeuaer]

Crikey! This is not for the faint of brain. So, I hope you all realize how noob I am. This is going to take me some time. I cannot just pipe info into a file, here. I need to understand what the file is, what I am piping - because this device is obscure, no one has made this easy yet. I only managed about 5 hrs of research time this past week. But focused I was and now realise that in ordrr to do this I have to start a build environment and work with aosp, to know what I am doing. Step by step.

Sorry its going to take a while! Hopefully will get a good hard day in this week on top of my mornings.

What I am endevouring to understand:

- what is a flag? how to I make on?
- what is a make file?
- how to get device tree out of firmware file
- what exactly I do after porting and flagging and making
- how to do this right - so that it works with omnirom I hope to compile as well.

Mate,
Take your time.
