Here are some more detailed information about rooting this device... However, this is not root... yet.
shakalaca from Asus forum in Taiwan is trying to find a way. However, I believe more people need to join this effort...
https://github.com/shakalaca/android_device_asus_zs570kl
I am not affiliate with shakalaca but just want to help. Any credit goes to shakalaca.
Someone had to start somewhere. Thanks for sharing the info.
Umm... isn't the source code available at the website right here?
I thought the source code is the main requirements for bootloader unlock... though I was sure that ASUS released an unlock tool for zenfone 2 too... so maybe it's likely that they will release similar software to zenfone 3 deluxe which will help us root the device

Any news?

...and I thought LG was bad! Zenfone 3 Deluxe dev community doesn't even seem to exist. I was considering this phone...but am leaning more towards the LG v20 H990DS.

It might be your best bet for the near future. Until Asus releases the bootloader unlock tool for the phone, there is nothing we can do with it. When it's released, we should be able to get a custom rom on the phone pretty quickly since the source code for the phone is released.

I would agree. I think this phone is fantastic but with no official bootloader it really does stop the XDA community from seeing what this phone is about. Reading the Taiwanese Zentalk forums it looks like there's an unofficial way to root the phone but who wants to take that risk when everyone believes Asus will have an official release eventually.
Asus rolled this phone out at an odd time of the year and for most of the US, the phone has only officially been available just this month. Still, we need root in order to fix things that Asus is slow to handle ( LED/capacitive button control, external sound quality)
Hello to all,
sorry if I open another thread for this request, but Cosmic Dan, dev who was working on MIUI GSI, has abandoned the porting. He told me that all WIP was pushed to GitHub, so please is there any devs who can port MIUI Rom on treble devices? (I have Honor View 10). Thanks
Hi,
for information, I made the same request in MIUI Porting Team forum: http://en.miui.com/thread-3355142-1-1.html
I hope someone will be able to finish the kitchen.
PS: Even if CosmicDan give up, I would like to thank him for the time he spent trying to port MIUI to treble phones.
I have a feeling this will have the same outcome as the other thread. Why are people so desperate for MIUI anyway? If you want it, go buy a Xiaomi phone, they're relatively inexpensive for smart phones nowadays.

I'm not desperate, for me Miui is the best rom and before the Honor View 10 I had a Xiaomi mi5. But now the top Xiaomi devices are not so nice (notch everywhere), so would be nice to have Miui Rom in other devices.

For example again, . . . .Why buy xiaomi phone if you already have s9?
, Lets say someone give the s9 to you but you hate touch wiz and you prefer miui interface; would you buy another phone if you could have copy xiaomi's ui and save money,

When there will be ever a miui gsi it will not be the same as on a real miui device. It would be illegal to Integrate all the cloud based miui features..

It is not illegal if you're not selling it, besides; xiaomi will appreciate you using its cloud and cloud based features as they can offer you services that requires money and make profit out of you, as you may know; xiaomi does not makes profit out of hardware but of its miui software and its bloatwares, so i think its a win win situation.
The spirit of using GSI roms is to be able to try anything.
To say if you like Samsung OS, LG OS, or Miui OS go buy it. Does nothing but prove that you are arrogant and clueless.
Please miui ROM GSI

Abroad different forums OP fans seem to be triggered when talking about MIUI, or request it for an OP device.
Be helpful or don't reply at all if you're gonna be a **** about it.
I absolutely love MIUI, however due to the device not being sold in the Netherlands, I chose for an OP6 (Warranty, local support etc), on which I hope some day I can flash MIUI10 on.

I barely remember making this comment. But, I was a little rude, no doubt. I remember that someone made a very rude ( that commenter was dickish)
Their comment about how people should buy Miui, instead of simply asking about gaining access to a ported Miui Rom.
Why say something like this, on a custom Rom website, and in the GSI rom section!
I cant find that comment now....deleted? Regardless, the spirit of using custom Roms and and especially GSI roms is to be able to have access to a wide variety of Roms, and its nice to have something different instead of the usual CAF and AOSP roms.
Yes, its nice to have greater access, and to be able to try different things. Thanks to being able to try a ported miui rom, my next phone will absolutely be a Xiaomi. You cannot currently buy Xiaomi in the US, and thanks to our political "geniuses" Chinese phone prices are sure to skyrocket, making Xiaomi plans to expand into the US market, even less certain.
Regardless, my next phone will very likely be a Mi Mix 2s, largely because I was able to try the Miui software via a ported custom rom. Although I cannot find the phones locally they are certainly easily found online.
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to find GSI roms, that allow us to try a greater variety customised android OS's by One Plus, LG, Samsung, Huawei? I think so.
Xiaomi lately released a Pie ROM, I suggest it's a GSI https://www.xda-developers.com/android-pie-alpha-build-xiaomi-mi-mix-2s/
already extracted system.img with brotli, let's see if it can be ported :good:

From what I believe no-one is working on it, @CosmicDan was working on a port but as I recall he got tired of the impatience and ungrateful community responses he took a break, or quit it entirely.
That was our last hope for active development, as I believe no-one is working on it right now

I'm not sure whether you mean you are working on it, or somebody else is.
How'd you figure this is a GSI rom? (maybe I just didn't read well enough)

That is very sad. Miui is a great UI.
Yesterday I unlocked my poco x2 and installed miui EU rom but it was buggy so flashed stock India rom and I accidentally locked it back.
I went on to re-unlock the device and the unlocker said you can't unlock anymore devices this moth, even though it's the same device, rom, mi account but it treats it as different device.
poco very much like to call themselves developer friendly but they aren't. they are pretty much like apple and in this case, they make sure to add small hurdles in your way so you can't tinker much with your device.
these are some of the examples
1. developer mode is harder to unlock. takes 3-4 sec of continuous tapping instead of 3-4 taps on stock rom.
2.initial unlock restrictions of many days.
3.locked EDL mode
and now
4.can't reunlock in same month? Wtf?
they can very much call it "security" measures.
but all this makes me feel that I don't really own the device and borrowed it from the company.
I have so many xiaomi devices in the house, personally used 4 before
was really loyal fan but now I think it's time to switch
lets see if they reply back
https://twitter.com/omkarpatil29/status/1248926429875597312
True you are friend.
I think there's no security thingy since its bootloader is unlockable.
Xiaomi is doing just annoying things.
My next phone will be oneplus.
Edit : Yeah I meant unlock wait time. It's meaningless at all. Xiaomi should change it to oneplus' way.
Buy a phone and unlock it on that day.

I don't know which EU rom you downloaded. But mine is working great. I am using the one for K30 (20.3.26)
Just switch the phone.!! Go ahead..!!.
Devs-friendly does not mean it is easy for stupid people. Change quickly. Before it became hard-brick because of your idiot.
Not developer-friendly, true. But it's kind of your fault for locking the bootloader while flashing the stock rom. This phone is very frustrating to get around unless you know how to do things.
1. Developer mode unlock method is same as AOSP in miui, nothing different there.I think you somehow remember enabling usb debugging option which has 3,4 seconds of 3 popup screens to enable and i find it useful because so many people in android community just edit the stuff they shouldnt even play with, resulting in having problems, they just tell the problems and list what could happen in that 3 popup screens.
2. Initial unlock thing have some sense in it, let me explain.I am living in turkey and xiaomi as official seller just start selling here since like 2 years ago, before that there was no official seller.(still we prefer resellers because of price difference) So what happended ? We had to buy from random people who import phones from china directly, which buy them from another random sellers in china.and guess what in this process they used to add random modified miui versions(not talking about miui eu) which resulted in security issues, hijacking bank accounts etc or not getting any updates at all ! so by adding this waiting time they force the first seller to keep 2 weeks minimum to unlock it to add custom rom, which they dont, resulted in mostly unmodified devices and guess what most user base of xiaomi are not developers or ROM swappers, there are people who just buy the damn device to use it which dont even know what bootloader is.They prefer a secure,unmodified device which gets updates on time.This waiting time served its purpose.Yeah i can agree its implementation method should be better,like same wait time for all devices not random but thats another discussion.
3. Locked EDL mode,yes you are right.I used oneplus devices before and they are better in developer friendly manners, but this doesnt mean xiaomi is not.in comparison to other android brands, in my opinion first company is oneplus then xiaomi.
4. See there is the problem here, dont get me wrong but if you did know what you are doing or messing with after using 4 xiaomi devices you would and should be able to uncheck the right down cleand all box on miflash tool and becareful when using it.If as a flashy user after 4 device you still can accidently lock the bootloader, you shouldnt be messing with device,the waiting time will be a lesson for you to learn more and never do the same mistake again and be careful next time.
I can understand that waiting is a little boring etc, but keep in mind in a community where huawei after that many years locked bootloader of their devices permanantly(except unofficial ways) you cant open bootloader,or samsung disabling knox and etc, you should praise a brand when it serves you good devices with less price with ability to use custom roms,camera2api etc.
By the way in comparison to oneplus,xiaomi is much bigger company and community of users in oneplus are mostly android geeks who knew what cyanogenmod was,there are even people who didnt hear oneplus name even once in their life, but xiaomi is more general purpose brand who is way more popular among normal smartphone users, so they serve 2 different community in my opinion,with less users base in common in general.
Feel free to swap to any other brand if you are this much unhappy

I just wanted to quick flash my device because I was in hurry. I'm a MIUI hater but still a MI fan. haven't used mi flash for so long that i forgot about it. Yes, it was my mistake. but I’m talking same device, same mi account and same rom here. when you have such a big user and device database these things not supposed to happen. I do get, why they do the stuff they do but all that togather builds up in so much frustration for someone who does a lot of tinkering with their device everyday. this is not good thing for a company that calls itself developer friendly.
this is not about security my friend they just don't want people to leave miui
Definitely they are developer friendly. They send phone to talent devs. The thread say it all. Your not a dev. xiaomi dont say they are "flasholic friendly". Obviously you made a mistake and you called it "accidental" and blame xiaomi.

I think the term you are looking for is 'User-friendly" not "Developer friendly", because someone who is experienced enough or even used MiFlash once or twice will know how MiFlash always reverts to clean all and lock. There is no need to be angry over all this, you made a mistake, now you have to wait. That's it. :good:

Hi, i was planning to buy the phone. My poor OnePlus 3T is dying and i thought the GT 2 Pro could be a good replacement. The only thing that is stopping me is the locked bootloader. I searched a bit and i read about the Depth Test app and such. Is there a way to unlock the Global Version bootloader? And there will be any development for the phone? I never had a Realme phone, what do you think about it? Did other realme phones had any community developments?
I wouldn't count on it. Only chinese firmware can be unlocked. Therefore, a significant community is not to be expected.
Edit: Happily, I have to correct myself. It's a moderate miracle.
Why would a locked bootloader stop you from this purchase? For the Chinese version I have uninstalled or suspended unwanted or Chinese language apps using ADB/ADB shell.

I try to keep a phone as much as possible, my nexus 5 survived 5 years and my OnePlus 3T is almost at its 6th birthday. If it wasn't for the community i couldn't have used it for this much time. And then i also want to have as much control as i can on what i own, if i can root the phone i can put an adblocker, i can uninstall everything i want and put all the patches i want.
that;s my concern on this phone. samsung promise a four system support and xiaomi ,oneplus do have big community to have custom rom even after they stop providing updates.(xiaomi usually provide 2 years of update)
from my opinion , if a phone can have 4 year official update is a must.
else we better go with iphone, it can confirm have at least 4 big system update , i don't think other than pixel or samsung will have this kind of long support.
Thanks god I read this
Today you can not even trust OnePlus with updates, a Realme is a no go with.locked bootloader.
Why wouldn't you just buy the global version and not even worry about bootloader's? I regret buying the China variant. biggest gripe was Google pay not working and even tho I got Google pay to work without unlocking or flashing anything there was just too much lacking with the China phone.
now that I have the global ROM flashed it's just gotten worse... Yeah I got my Google assistant to respond but now I can't play call of duty and use a bunch of other apps.
I don't think that would be that case if I would have just waited a month longer and got the global version instead.
If you worried about support and future updates, like others have said you should only expect the 4 promised, if that.
Tbh I'm looking to sell mine and dish out the extra for the Samsung.
If you do buy the phone.. do not but the China variant. Save yourself the headache
I would not get the chinese version but also not the global version with "forever locked bootloader"
Most of the chinese brands "forget" their phones after 1y, see OnePlus 9. Even cheap 3y old 200€ Samsung devices get faster updates than last year flagship...
I'm also planning to buy this phone but, no custom rom and development is my major concern.
I think I'll buy something else.

How does it work? You can use it even with a locked bootloader and no custom recovery?
Maybe I am confused but I own the GT 2 Pro global version and right there in developer options is "OEM Unlocking: allow bootloader to be unlocked." Does this not work and if so why is it even there?

That's a bit of a bummer. Paid more for the global version just to find out people are having success flashing the global ROM onto the much cheaper CN variants. Then there is even a guide to flash the CN ROM over the global ROM but Im guessing that is just for flashing back to CN ROM on an original CN phone that was previously flashed with global? Meaning we can't just take an RMX3301 and flash CN ROM to it then unlock bootloader from there?

All we can do is email RealMe and keep requesting global bootloader unlocking.
This never happen before so just forget it :/
I think if enough people bombard RealMe with these types of request they might reconsider.

Yep. Without it, it's too risky. I never managed to brick a device going all the way back to 2009 with the HTC Hero and I've bricked my 9 at least 5 times to where the MSM Tool was the only option (this despite following posted instructions, two of those bricks happened while doing the exact same operations I did in fastboot that worked before!).

So is the tool accessible for all? I'm currently using a redmi Note 10 pro max. Waiting to upgrade to a good flagship phone with cat20 4g modem and at least a good 5g modem. The only drawback is this doesn't have mmWave. I hope more phones are slapped with an mmWave modem in the future.
So I read that some don't have access to this tool. If I soft brick the redmi, I can always flash a raw fastboot rom and I get back the device, although mostly I've gotta format the internal storage, as this happened recently. Fortunately I have a 512gb micro SD card, and since the 10t lacks expandable storage, I'm gonna miss the SD card. I guess sacrifices have to be made.

So it seems that OnePlus is now using VIP signing with EDL mode like Oppo does. That presumably means the death of EDL recovery like it did for Oppo when they implemented it. The 9 series may well be the last Qualcomm devices able to use the MSM Tool without a technician logging in or someone capturing the login and using it to flash others. The latter has happened with the 10 Pro but people are charging for the service.
The MSM Tool is for when the phone is so messed up that fastboot isn't an option otherwise you can just get a full OTA and flash it with Fastboot Enhance and do a quick wipe to get back to a working phone.

I wanted to write something snarky about the delay, but I'm just relieved that it's finally out.
Here's hoping they keep it updated if/when they make future changes.

Good. I can probably do something with this.

Does this mean the roms would soon start flowing?

The 10 Pro still doesn't have any custom ROMs, but we'll see. Maybe with the 10T, things will be different...

I would be forever grateful if you take the first steps towards getting LineageOS for OnePlus 10T (or the cornerstones that may lead to it).. i love the specs but just can't get used to the Oppo ColorOS flavor of OxygenOS in recent devices (after they sort of merged), besides all of the security, transparency, anti-bloat and performance benefits that LineageOS brings to the table.
I found myself in a dilemma, at the same time being a power user (wanting a level of control that only such a ROM provides) and looking for an upgrade after 4 years on my 6T. Not being able to resist buying the latest and greatest with a new chipset (10T) in place of going for an older model with a well-established development scene.
Right now, i hope the ideal circumstances are present to get the speediest development after a release, like: they were on point with releasing kernel sources, and made an attempt to return to flagship killer roots with the 10T, after years.. maybe they are also attempting to restore the original values from the flagship killer period (being known as a ROM community-friendly brand) as they realize how it benefits customer loyalty and sales. So, the quick kernel release can be a sign of that, and i hope it extends to MSM tool release soon
Btw, how about crowdfunding some 10T's for known developers? I saw such initiatives lately for 10 Pro, during a week there was a start in development activity for it
I'm here for the 10T crowdfunding for devs idea. I just got a 10T. Coming from a 5T and most recently the 7TP5GMclaren, the 10T desperately needs help. This fake oxygenOS hybrid is not the business
My hope Is that a Dev can make a custom kernel to lower the brightness as the minimum brightness is way too high currently. I might have to figure out how to compile the kernel myself if this starts bugging me too much.
Is the OnePlus 10t good enough for custom roms in the future? Currently have the phone 1 but the haptics are soo bad, like skips while typing, am planning to return it (just got it yesterday so still in the return period)

Custom Development depends on testing device in the process device might get brick. Oppo has complete control over 1+ in terms of flash tool now requires auth, chances are getting low if 1+ releases MSM for free then yes but its Oppo
Guys i read somewhere that the oneplus 10t bootloader cannot be unlocked anymore...is this true ?

You can unlock it, it's just really unsafe. Easy to boot loop.
@andr01dfr3ak have you given it further thought?
Sidenote: im frequently checking this topic.. really hoping some dev saves us from ColorOS hell. It's a shame for a device with this specs to have such a bad ROM and UI, software is the only reason i regret buying it.
