hi
I have successfully rooted my z2 but I can't mount the system folder as rw
I tried different methods to mount it by myself, including trying to remount it with es file manager, downloading different apps from google store, trying the script manager
any help
How did you root it?
@egynono I had trouble with root r/w after updating to 314 and rooting with Easy Root. I did a full unroot from the SuperSU app, rebooted, ran Easy Root again and made sure it finished completely, including the "cleaning up" part, rebooted, installed SuperSU from the play store, rebooted, and r/w worked (tested in root explorer). Adaway was also fixed and able to write the host file.
Not sure if all reboots are needed or if it was a fluke but it worked for me. Haven't unlocked the bootloader yet.

Install the app 'Root Validator' and check whether your phone is perfectly rooted.

I recently installed Android 7.1.2 on my phone and since then I've been unable to root it. I've been able to successfully root it between firmware updates until the 7.1.2 upgrade.
I can install twrp-3.1.0 via fastboot, and when I boot into the twrp recovery, I use adb sideload to install SuperSU, because it seems by SD card has gotten encrypted (until the 7.1.2 update I had stored SuperSU on the SD card and installed it from there). Everything appears to work as expected according to the install messages on the phone's screen. But then when I reboot boot the phone, SuperSU reports that it isn't rooted.
Am I doing something wrong, or does 7.1.2 somehow prevent SuperSU from overwriting the necessary system files?
Hello,
I just bought a new Honor 9 and I'm trying to root it.
I unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP.
The procedure says I need to install the Magisk apk and then reboot into TWRP and install the Magisk zip.
When I launch the recovery and look for the zip to install (that I previously I copied on sdcard when I first booted the phone) I just see a bunch of folders with random names (encrypted I guess). Moreover I can't find the zip file where I was supposed to find it.
Am I missing something?
Thanks

All you missed is a bit of reading my friend. To put it in a nutshell, actual versions of TWRP around here don't decrypt data. Yet. Now you should be able to access the content of a properly formatted (ExFAT or FAT 32) sd card.
Cheers.
Thanks for the reply. I actually upgraded latest TWRP and wiped from recovery. This somehow permanently removed the encryption.
Yes, it stays pending *almost* forever.
Play Store is already updated to latest version.

You cannot download from. Playstore??
To whom it may concern: Asus software engineers were busy and they released Oreo: https://www.asus.com/de/Phone/ZenFone-4-ZE554KL/HelpDesk_Download/
For me I'll wait for some answers about compatibility of TWRP and the possibility to root. At present I run rooted Nougat Version WW_14.1064.1711.96 (TWRP 3.1.1 with Magisk V15.2, XPosed V89 and Gravity Box [N.] V 7.0.6). Never change a running system if you don't feel the urgent need

Excellent. You use XDA guide to Root and install TWRP? You don't have brick?
After couple nights of pain, finally installed 8.0.0. I have TWRP 3.2.1-0 and Magisk 15.3.
The main problem: ROOT doesn't work. Root check says phone's rooted, and apps request and get root permissions, but in fact there's no one. For example, root uninstaller can't remove any system app. Tried lesser TWRP (3.1.1), tried SuperSU instead of Magisk. SuperSU doesn't even work, says "SU binnary occupied".
Also one problem: WW-15.0405.1712.83 doesn't want install through TWRP, says "no file contexts". But you can install it through stock recovery, it just bypasses this check.
To get stock recovery, you can do the trick: install SuperSU, boot system, open the app and pick "Unroot" option (it will offer you to clear recovery and boot). Now you get stock recovery and can install firmware.
UPD: Was wrong. Root works, but neither Magisk nor SuperSU gives RW permission on system folder. That's the main problem now. Tried updating permissions on system folders manually through file managers (Root Explorer, etc.). Tried updating through terminal: from adb shell and from recovery. Nothing works. Folders are marked RW now, permissions are right, but apps like Root Uninstaller still can't do anything.

Well, yes. As said at the end of the last message, phone in fact appears to be rooted. I have access to /root folder and apps now ask for super-user permissions.
But some apps, like Root Uninstaller, doesn't work... However you can manually delete unwanted .apk from /system folder, it's possible.

Hi,
Can anyone help me with my phone ZE554kL on how to root this or link me to a guide? Thanks in advance.
"Continue reading only if interested what happen."
I've never done this before and I just want to do root because my internal storage was wiped out when I was backing up all my files to PC. Windows explorer stops responding while transferring files then after the not responding issue, my internal storage is empty and when I checked my phone all the files is gone (photos, videos, PDFs).
I tried different android recovery software in windows and everytime i do a scan, i always ending up being asked by the software to root my phone so it can scan through to my internal storage.
Since my files was lost, i never touch my phone since then so nothing will be written on internal storage that could take away the chance of recovering my files.
The title says it I guess,I install Xposed it doesn't matter if it is systemless or not,tried both anyways,and every time I reboot with all of the apps gone which I have transfered to SD card,of course using the inbuilt feature.
And after I uninstall it I need to reboot once or twice and re-insert the SD card to make it work again,and yes I tried these steps with Xposed installed.
I would really like to get it working,and I am running the latest stock firmware which is heavily debloated (basically the base version of Concept-ify,just the backup restored,did not flash AOSP zip since it gave me issues).
Can anyone help? Has anyone had a similar issue?
