It looks like Asus has provided us with the unlock tool for the Zenfone 3 Deluxe. Hopefully someone can make a guide to help users unlock their bootloader. Does anyone think this has a chance of working on the special edition version?
https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-3-Deluxe-ZS550KL/HelpDesk_Download/
I'm not sure of that would be the same for this....
https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-3-Deluxe-ZS570KL/HelpDesk_Download/
EDIT: Yeah i was correct this is only 5.5 for now, just have to wait a bit for 5.7 once they do so. until then if we have any testers for 5.5 they should start it now and get this phone hype up, if it works.
As I've been saying... as soon as they get off their behinds and release a bootloader unlock, I'll buy. Looking at you 256gb special edition! Common Asus!

Best way to do so, is word of mouth and contact there support. Then it will go from there.
We have the deluxe bootloader non special edition unlock tool out in the public for about a month and nobody who posts in XDA has said much about it yet. My fear is interest in this phone isn't so high so we'll never get a guide or solution to unlock the bootloader for the deluxe or special edition.
Has anyone with the deluxe tried using the unlock tool?

I have contacted them already. Got the same canned reply they give everyone.

yes I flashed it via recovery mode, I haven't attempted the adb loader.
after further inspection to the zip file, DO NOT FLASH IT VIA RECOVERY. install it via the apk within the zip file. this unlocks the bootloader. as of now my zs550kl boot loader is unlocked and i will proceed with trying to get it rooted.

Alright that is very good news, keep us posted, sadly can't do much here for the 5.7 until then. As well post some screenshots as well.
I am a bit of a noob to the root scene. Last device I rooted was a galaxySII. I now have a zs550kl as I am trying to make my way back into the cutting-edge arena. I would like to see a root for this as my career has an imei lock on the data signal and I would like to spoof this with the imei of the varied bought device.
hello man! I am looking all over the web trying to find the bootloader unlock tool you mentioned that works for the 5.7 inch, would you drop a link or post a comment on where to find it? thank you for considering!

I have the international SGP521 LTE (castor) running smooth on
CM11 nighlies on T-Mobile and ATT.
I have been looking at the official US version of the Z2 LTE- exclusive
to Verizon. In the past - Verizon has locked the bootloader - and made
it difficult to run CM11 on their branded devices.
Has anyone worked on the brand new Verizon branded Sony Z2 LTE tablet?
Can the bootloader be unlocked directly from Sony?
Will the CM11 castor nightly load on this version?

Did Sony issue you a bootloader unlock code?
Was this the message from the fastboot oem unlock 0xNNNNNNN?
The normal sony device flow is consistent across their devices:
get device drivers working from sony or flashtool (fastboot and ADB)
get the bootloader unlocked from sony
download PA Gapps,CM11 zip, and SuperSU to the SD card
extract the boot.img from the CM11 zip
flash the boot.img to the boot partition
reboot recovery
full wipe from the recovery
reboot to recovery and flash the zips from the SD card
reboot into system
If the bootloader won't unlock then everything else goes out the window.

Just picked up the US Sony Verizon Z2 tablet.
The model number is SGP561.
First impressions are great hardware.
SGP521 plus extra bands and CDMA.
Insane amount of bloatware.
Sony bloatware. Verizon bloatware. Bloatware on Bloatware.
I am not holding my breath for a Google Play version either.
I will try the Sony bootloader unlock - but I don't have high expectations.
Sony will issue a bootloader unlock.
But the device will not unlock with the issued code.
When you check the service menu settings- the device is unlockable.
No bootloader unlock means a difficult path for custom recovery.
Too bad this is the exclusive z2 tablet version release for the states.
If you have a GSM carrier (T-Mobile or ATT) buy the international SGP521 (castor)
from somewhere else like Amazon and roll the dice on warranty service.
Sony has been great with releasing Z2 tablet kernel sources but I guess
they don't really care about restricting customers in the US.

I just got one too and expected this outcome because it's Verizon
How do you get to the service menu with no dialer?
-Collin-
The directions are on the sony developer site
under the bootloader unlock pages.
Select the Z2 tablet non-wifi.
Its unusual- you have to go to the contacts app and then
click on white space on a specific page to bring up a hidden service app.
Thanks for that...definitely a bit strange. Would have taken me about 10 years to figure that out
Bad news on both fronts. Bootloader unlock allowed: no. LTE bands 4 and 13 (Verizon's two bands), meaning they disabled all the others. I had hopes of using this on T-Mobile at some point, but alas I should have known better.
Thanks, as always, Verizon My service provider is starting to feel like the Seinfeld skit where they try to quit the gym.

I was contemplating buying the Z2 on verizon. So I get it seems like you cant unlock the bootloader but is it difficult to achieve root? I just want to be able to remove the Verizon apps. Also any feedback on this tablet would be appreciated

Root is not an issue. I've successfully rooted both firmwares.
Has anyone successfully converted their SGP521 Verizon Xperia Z2 Tablet to using stock Sony firmware & retained Bravia Engine & Camera quality? I'd love to stop having to wait on Verizon for firmware & remove their apps.

Sure thing,
The easiest way I've found was to use Kingroot to root your Z2 Tablet. (open and run kingroot to actually achieve root) afterwards if you prefer Supersu you will need to flash a custom recovery. To do so, activate USB debugging and connect your tablet to your PC via USB. Download xdualrecovery 2.8.26 for Tablet (should be the second one from top if downloading from http://nut.xperia-files.com/path/XZDualRecovery/XZDualRecovery_2.8.26). Extract the contents to your desktop and click the install.bat. When given options as to which method you wish to install custom recovery with choose method 2 (Install with superuser) and follow the on screen prompts and grant permission on your tablet (when selecting option 2 a script will initiate on your PC and advise you to grant root on your device. Simply unlock the device and grant permissions to continue). Once done your tablet will reboot to custom recovery. Reboot the system and install supersume and run the application. It will remove kingroot and install Supersu. When completed it will automatically open Supersu (it may prompt you to update the binaries... If this does happen DO NOT click TWRP as it will reboot to recovery and do nothing for you! Simply click Normal and let it do its thing and you should be done!!! :victory: all that's left to do is reboot your tablet to remove kingroot from the appdrawer if it's not already removed. If for some reason Supersume is not working properly then reinstall kingroot and retry Supersume again.
I forgot to include the link, for some odd reason I can't upload files. anyways I've also included the files for xposed installer just in case you want xposed on lollipop. Just be sure to make a backup after installing the framework through recovery as some modules are incompatible and cause the tablet to be stuck in a bootloop. That way you can restore if you have any questions ask and I'll help out as much as I can

Hello,
I have been trying to research how bootloaders get unlocked without manufacturer help and not coming up with many results. I want to learn how to root and unlock bootloaders and create recoveries and everything to help out accessing and customizing devices, but trying to find things to read and learn about those topics hasn't turned up much helpful threads or info at all, if anyone could direct me to where I could learn how to do all those things that'd be awesome! Also, thinking about bootloader for vs990, could we not just take an unlocked t-mobile bootloader and customize to the correct paths and values for vs990? What about the kdz file, can that be used to modify the boot security and unlock the bootloader or not? Thanks for the info and your time in advanced!

That method doesn't work on vs990, Verizon locked it down so when you try to get to bootloader even through adb reboot bootloader it just reboots to the system. No fastboot commands possible.

Well we did just get root a week ago... So don't give up hope just yet, give it a little more time and hopefully they'll crack through the security or overwrite the boot partition all together or something so we can get custom roms.

I have the rom by stang5litre installed and would like to know if it's possible to install a custom recovery or possibly magisk.
As far as I'm aware, no. There was a way to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery on some older firmwares, but the OC1 bootloader doesn't let you flash down to the old ones

OH developers please port a rom to oppo a57
its an awsome device its got 3gb ram snapdragon 435 and 720 p display please guys port it colour os sucks help needed
OP, I know you posted this in the find5 thread as you wanted them to port the rom from this phone but since it's for the a57 I assume this technically isn't the right place to do it, anyhow:
From what I can tell Oppo has restricted access to the bootloader on these phones and we still don't have a working root method. Until either one of these circumstances changes it is unlikely that any development can begin for these phones.
If any senior devs out there have skills in reverse engineering, I would be more than happy to donate to the cause or maybe even flash your betas because at this stage what I have is a well spec'd phone that's as useful as a brick thanks to Oppo's abhorrent ColorOS. I just want root or an unlocked bootloader.
I'm offering $25aus as a starting point and I'm sure others would get on board with me since we all spent the equivalent of $300aus for a P.O.S phone.

Can confirm rooting method works but it seems like it corrupts your NV partition. Make sure you've taken a backup of yours before proceeding. Check back as we nut out a solution.
I currently have my phone rooted and TWRP installed but the bootloader still needs to be unlocked or a tool similar to magictricks.zip needs to be made to enable/install fastboot binaries on this device.
Anyone here familiar with doing this?
I can provide you with backups of the file system.

From what I've read, there isn't a high likelihood of us getting fastboot. The main reason bootloader unlocking was possible with previous models was due to Oppo's release of 'project spectrum' firmware.
Our best approach is to make our voices heard on the Oppo forums and/or learn about reverse engineering bootloaders to create a solution.
I'm grateful that we have root (at a cost of signal), it's an excellent starting point at least. Have patience.

TWRP is ready. I'll be opening the thread shortly. Of course I'm not sure why there's separate forums for the 7 and 7 Pro, but I imagine the same TWRP should work on both. I'll just post the thread in this section for now.

This is so exciting!!
Thank you, will be keen to try it out ASAP.
Also, bring on the custom roms! Do you develop those by any chance?
