Need complete updated guide to root and update Asus z580ca to newer Android version - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello! Im new to XDA. I am needing a complete guide(s) so I can root my Asus z580ca table. I have been looking for weeks on various forums (including this one) and I have found some old guides that are very confusing. I am not new to rooting, jailbreaking or installing CFW on gaming units but trying to find a cohesive guide on this topic has been daunting. I have tried to root my Asus using KingRoot.apk but no luck. I get stuck on 1% when trying to root. My Asus is on Android 5.0. My goal is to root and update the Android firmware to a more recent version like Android 9 or 10. I appreciate any assistance I can get on this!!

To update Android it's not needed to get it rooted, but to find a
1. Custom Recovery suitable to your Asus device
2. Custom ROM suitable to device, what is to be flashed via Custom Recovery you found

Thanks for the reply! So how do I go about finding a custom recover suitable to my Asus device? How do I go about finding a custom ROM suitable for my Asus Device. Again I'm Looking for a guide on how to do this.

First, welcome here.
Second, I'm not sure why you have to bring all those statements "I'm not new to rooting, bla, bla" while to me, you're completely clueless, not even remotely can differentiate between rooting and updating your device. If you are really new to some area, take my advice, just don't try to show off. It's not a shame to confess that you don't know anything about it nor have any experience nor expertise in that area yet. Just be honest.
And now, for the answer to your question:
At this point I would just rather advice you to sell your device and move to another new one. Why? There's several reasons.
First reason is, unfortunately your device isn't popular enough to have a community to share knowledge or the works they've been working on. Why? Because a lot depends on that.
Before doing anything else, you'll need to unlock the bootloader of your device. If there's no official manual to do so from Asus, usually you'll be dependent on the community for help, unless you can find it the way yourself. Now, even if you have somewhat find a way to do it, there's second part.
The second part is: the device was released before so called "treble" mechanism implemented, thus giving you another hurdle. "Treble" allow you at least override just the system partition without messing with anything else. Newer devices that were released with Android 8 or above, cmiiw, naturally has it implemented. Why is this important? In case you can't any specific custom roms tailored for your device, "treble" accepts GSI which allows you to try another OS without other heavy duty stuff. Without treble support, literally you'll have to build a complete custom rom. I see Asus has provided the device kernel, so technically it's very possible to do so (although it might lack techpack, etc).
That's all covers about installing roms. Recovery isn't mandatory to install rom, unless your device lacks of fastboot (Samsung) or their fastboot borked (Oppo, Vivo).
Upgrading to another version is different topic. Rooting is also a very different topic.

A Custom Recovery ( TWRP ) obviously not available
Asus
This is the Team Win website and the official home of TWRP! Here you will find the list of officially supported devices and instructions for installing TWRP on those devices.

Basic questions from a noob.

Hello guys,
I've started reading about roms, flashing, customs roms, recovery images, mods and so on since I got my first android phone a few days ago, but my had is gonna explode very soon. There are so much information, tutorials, devices, wikis. New questions are coming up all the time. So I am starting this thread to ask some noob questions.
The first thing is about RUU. I really can't understand the whole concept. I receive my updates OTA. From where you get this RUU's. In this threadhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32073156 in the first few pages people are talking about porting the RUU. What do you mean by that. I understand that RUU's are connected to CID, my phone is not branded or simlocked. But somewhere on the threads I read that the only available RUU is for Europe, but doesn't include Poland. I am also from Eastern Europe - Bulgaria. I've understood how to backup and flash my system.img, but before I repace the stock recovery.img do I need to back it up too, and how?
I'll be really grateful if someone finds the time to answer my questions. If not, please do not delete the thread because in the mean time I am reading stuff, and maybe I'll find the answers but knew questions will arise
And the end, I am sorry for my bad English.
P.S What the hell is ProtoU? A nickname for Desire X?

Well, I can't answer all of your questions but can point you to some things.
RUU is Rom Update Utility, it is used to flash stock operating system to phone. It's a different type from OTA cause OTA usually only update some of the existing system files while RUU clears all partition of the phone and installs a fresh and clean OS to it. Also, OTA is performed directly from the phone, while RUU uses PC as a tool for it. Some RUUs can be obtained directly from htcdev site while most of them are leaked files obtained from different carriers.
If you're still in the position to don't know the difference between stock and custom recovery, what system partitions exist on your phone and also what backup of system means, I suggest you to read more and when you fully understand all that it's time to start rooting, flashing and playing with your phone in a way that can cause a permanent damage to it.
To know if you're compatible with RUU that can be obtained for our phone download app called Android Assistant from Play Store, go to tab Tools, choose a tool called System Info and the first info is about your OS version.
In my signature you have a link (How it works) with explanation how HTC Desire and Nexus One work, it's partly similar to our phone with a few difference, but basics are the same.
I hope I helped.
P.S. Proto U is a codename for HTC Desire X, cause every android phone has it. So Desire is Bravo, Desire S is Saga, Nexus One is Passion, Nexus S is Crespo, Incredible S is Vivo, One S is Ville... You can google it.

Some General Knowledge:
What is rooting?
Android rooting is the process of allowing users of smartphones, tablets, and other devices running the Android mobile operating system to attain privileged control (known as "root access") within Android's subsystem.
Rooting is often performed with the goal of overcoming limitations that carriers and hardware manufacturers put on some devices, resulting in the ability to alter or replace system applications and settings, run specialized apps that require administrator-level permissions, or perform other operations that are otherwise inaccessible to a normal Android user. On Android, rooting can also facilitate the complete removal and replacement of the device's operating system, usually with a more recent release of its current operating system.
As Android was derived from the Linux kernel, rooting an Android device is similar in practice to accessing administrative permissions on Linux or any other Unix-like operating system such as FreeBSD or OS X.

Visit here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2212067
1). Can i root my phone?
To Root your phone go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36138808
2a). What can i benefit from rooting my device?
Apart from mentioned above you can flash custom ROMs based on your choice.
2b). Is there a downside to rooting?
Yes, you may loose warranty if you damage your device by rooting.
3). What is ROM?
ROM is the whole system on your phone just like windows/mac os/ubuntu on PC.
4.). What is CWM and Custom ROM?
CWM and TWRP are recovery, in recovery mode you can flash new ROMs backup existing or factory reset etc. Custom ROM are Custom OS based on existing sources modified for better performance and reliablity.
5). What is this Stock ROM/CM/AOKP/PA/PAC your talking about?
Stock ROM is pre-installed OS
CM is short for CyanogenMod, CM gives its user vanilla android experierience at the same time more options and customization available there are 4 versions so far CM6(froyo 2.2.x), CM7(Gingerbread 2.3.x), CM9(Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.x), CM10( JellyBean 4.1.x) and CM10.1(4.2.x)
AOKP is short for Android Open Kang Project, AOKP brings user MORE goodies than CM gives and it also gives the user Vanilla android experience.
PA is Short for Paranoid Android, Also like CM but it gives you unique Tablet UI (phone will look like a tablet) for your device even though it's just a phone.
PAC is combined PA, AOKP, CM. It gives the combined features of all 3.
6). How to install one of this rom ?
Look for the rom that you think you like in android development section and follow the instruction given by the developer.
7). So which of them is the best?
Try them all and don't compare roms people have their own preferences. when you compare roms some devs may feel bad and leave this device for good.
Comparing ROMs is very rude and disrespecting to developers.

Thanks for the reply. That thread is actually the first thing i read before i actually signed up as a member. I read through all 20 something pages and the author of the thread states close to the end of the thread that one has found a firmware for the maven pro with android 6.0. If I could manage to get the drivers installd atleast i could make some kind of leadway on doing other things, like installing a custom recovery but i cant even get my pc . .. laptop running windows 7 to recognize the tablet when I plug it in.... i dont know what else to do at this point but drop kick this tablet into another universe....
Did u find anything yet?I have the same problem

Hi, I, too, have been very frustrated with the same problem, having tried all the root apk's I could find to root my RCA Maven Pro 11.6 tablet pc rct6213w87mm to avail. This device has to be one of the most difficult, if not impossible, tablet pc's to root and I'm wondering cynically whether the manufacturer intentionally made it like that to prevent the user from deleting many frivolous bloatwares installed that cannot be uninstalled without rooting the device. I sent an email to the RCA tech support requesting the usb driver for this model, but have not gotten any response, yet, if they will ever respond, that is.
Another Jon here. No relation.
I support a bunch of these specific tablets, we use them for sheet music display. Can't find firmware, can't root them. I feel your pain. However...I also know that the #1 problem with the RCT6213W87M tablet is that it spontaneously crashes & reboots whenever the Play Store app tries to install the latest version of the Google app. Took me awhile to figure this one out, let me tell you. Google doesn't care, because Android 6.0 is yesterday's news to them. RCA doesn't care, because they want you to buy a new tablet. But all the musicians care, very much, when their sheet music display crashes in the middle of a set. I told them to stop being lazy and just memorize all the music. They didn't think that was funny.
My initial fix was to disable auto-updates in the Play Store app, but that's a maintenance headache. A better workaround is to use the instructions at https://www.maketecheasier.com/prevent-specific-android-apps-auto-updating/ -- scroll about halfway down to "Stopping One App From Updating" and do that for the Google app. You still can't root the tablet or remove the bloatware, but it will at least stop the spontaneous reboots. And the musicians will stop throwing the tablets at you.

Starting from Scratch - Moto E4 Plus Owens

Hi all! I hope this is the right spot to post this. I'm looking to install a custom ROM onto my Moto E4 Plus (Owens XT1775), but I'm running into issues.
- Tried updating to a new version of TWRP, now it's saying I need a password to decrypt, and none of the tools I'm finding are helping
- Tried replacing TWRP with an older version, same issue happened
- Tried going back to a stock recovery but can't find any
- I really just want to a custom ROM on this thing >.>
Can someone point me in the right direction on figuring out my TWRP issues, even if it means starting all the way over? I've had TWRP and Magisk on here for more years than I care to count, so I don't even remember the version it was using. If anyone has recommendations on custom ROMs that would work on this device too, that's much appreciated.

Alright, so I found a guide that said factory reset from TWRP would help but now I can't boot into the OS at all, it keeps bringing me back to TWRP. I'm assuming I need a factory image to fix that but no luck finding one yet.
I have a file in my computer named OWENS_RETAIL_7.1.1_NPR26.58-25_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml. It's 1.3GB . Is that the stock rom that you are looking for?
I am looking for a guide to install custom rom into my Moto e4plus so I can install new versions of apps. Is that what you are doing? If so do you mind give me a few pointers once you are successful?
There are a lot of posts on here but I am confused as to which one to follow. My phone is rooted and is on service with Verizon and I don't want to lose either.
Thank you much!

I'd super appreciate the file! I'm not sure if it's exactly what I'm looking for but it wouldn't hurt to try. I'm having a hard time finding support for this specific model of device, but I know there are some unofficial ROMs that are floating around for the owens/1775 model.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rescue-and-smart-assistant-lmsa-motorola-lenovo-only.3951714/ This may have just saved my bacon, at least on the stock ROM part
Alright, so we're back to full stock, except now I cannot get my computer to recognize the device in fastboot... any ideas?

Question Pretty much confused (Need Help)

Hi guys, after coming from Xiaomi Mi6 I have now Pixel 6, I m aware of flashing running adb and unlock Bootloader, but here I see three threads and m so confused what to do, Regarding unlock bootloader and root twrp safety net etc, so the real question is why there are so many files? And does Pixel Flash Tool resolve all this problem by automatically doing its job?
Here is the confusion
Wow what all this? What is initial root /create master root image >> ok if this is an basic root and problem can be solved then what is this update and root automatic ? Root ota sideload?

TWRP is not available for the Pixel 6 series, so forget about TWRP.
The one and only page you should need to do whatever you need to is at https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ootloader-update-root-pass-safetynet.4356233/ . You literally only need ADB, Magisk, and a copy of the boot image to be able to root your device. The Displax variant of the safetynet fix is optional, but if you intend on using your device for tap-to-pay you'll need to install it.
Flashing tools like the Pixel Flash Tool may simplify the process, but you would be best served learning to do it manually first so you can see and understand what is happening in real time. After you see how an update processes you can, if comfortable, go ahead and use a flashing tool.
What is update and Root Automatic OTA??
Further I see Update and Root Factory Image??
Do I need to do all those Steps mentioned? Are they necessary? Except the safety net part which u have already told...

Update and root factory / OTA images only applies if you have already rooted, thus the word "update". And yes, all the steps given are required. Read them, digest them, and read them again. That thread will save you a lot of headaches.

Yes I will try... Many devices have simple steps tp follow... I guess... Although there is no twrp then how come roms are flashing via adb if there no recovery..

As for the Pixel Flash Tool, it is a tool developed by Google to simplify the process of flashing firmware and images on Pixel devices. It can be used to install stock firmware, unlock the bootloader, and flash custom images like TWRP. However, it's important to note that using the Pixel Flash Tool may still require some knowledge and experience with Android modding, and it may not work for all devices or scenarios.

First, if you really are speaking on the tool Google develops, it is called Android Flash Tool, not "Pixel" -- no such thing; a simple Google search shows it. And it does not flash "custom images like TWRP", and requires just the basic "knowledge and experience with Android modding".
Second, there is a tool called PixelFlasher developed by badabing2003 (not Google), which does flash custom images (ROMs, patched [Magisk] boot images, both slots, etc.), and has further checks & protocols (using the version of platform-tools that does not have fatal bugs for Pixel 6+) which works on all Pixels.
I'm fairly certain whatever A.I. generated tool/service being used is simply combining the two "tools" as they are similar and apply/relate to similar devices....
pholdemulpti said:
In terms of the "initial root" and "master root image" files you mentioned, it's possible that these are custom rooting packages designed for your specific device or software version. However, it's difficult to say without more information or context. Similarly, the "update and root automatic" file may be an automated rooting package, but it's important to research and verify the source and compatibility of any files before using them.

Orange text is pretty clear showing this is an A.I. generated response; "more information or context"? The rest of us that has read this thread got what OP meant....
