Note: All the methods used here not belongs to me,
ALL CREDITS GOES TO ITS MAKERS
Here I am giving you some external threads and some guide lines explaining how to unlock,root,adding Recovery, Flashing Custom ROMS and How to unroot, locking bootloaders to get official OTA updates..
Lets start with usual warning, I'm not responsible if your Xperia S gets bricked
[UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER]
There is a great thread explaining how to unlock and relock bootloader by DooMLoRD, its very useful and I tested it and worked perfectly.Here is the link,
UNLOCKING AND RELOCKING BOOTLOADER XPERIA S
If you found its useful don't forget to thank him.
[ROOTING XPERIA S WITH 6.1.A.2.45]
Here I will give you two methods,
FIRST METHOD
This is for unlocked bootloader only and only for Xperia S LT26i. I have tested and working perfectly in my SXS
Warning: This is Exclusively for Xperia S with 6.1.A.2.45. I am not sure about other Other ROMS
Before Rooting you must have downloaded this,
1.Root Kit.zip (Zip containing everything you wanted to root)
2.Flashable SuperSU App (Thanks to Chainfire )
Inside the folder you have one .txt file its the commands you have to use in cmd, Any how I am adding the same below,
1.You must have enabled USB debugging in developer option under settings
2.Copy the "CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip" into your SD card
3.Switch off and connect your phone in fast boot mode (pressing Power button + Vol up)
If asked for drivers, update driver manually by directing to "USB driver folder" inside the "Root Kit folder".
Verify whether there is a BLUE LED is coming up.
Now you are in fastboot mode, type the commands line by line,
fastboot devices
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you will get something like this,
PSDN: DW925S3BFT&POI fastboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now type this,
fastboot flash boot recovery-nozomi.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you will be seeing this,

OKAY [ 1.851s]

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so the recovery image is flashed into the phone, now reboot device using below command,
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now the phone will boot into recovery mode and select the option “Install zip from SDCard”. Browse to the folder where you had copied the SU zip file (CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip), select it and install it.
Now select the “Reboot System” option and while it is booting press the VOL UP button to boot back into the fastboot mode. Now run
fastboot flash boot kernel.sin
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You should see something like this

(bootloader) Flash operation complete
OKAY [ 2.976s]
finished. total time: 3.589s
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If its showing with "Okay and Finished", then you are done, Congrats now you have a rooted phone (check for SuperSU app inside the phone drawer)​Note:
1.If you can't enter into fastmode after image flashing (sometimes you need to have a better timing to enter into flashmode during reboot by pressing vol up and power button), then do this,
Press power and volume up button till u get a vibration followed by three vibrations (now your phone is switched off, so you can enter into fastboot normally) IMPORTANT: Dont remove the usb cable ever till rooting finishes
2.If any step fails after flashing recovery image you can't able to enter into your phone, don't be panic we have solution for everything.
Flashing stock rom with flashtool will solve this issue.

Unlock Bootloader on Android 5.1.1 A5CN701?

I've been trying to unlock the bootloader since the A5CN701 update. Here's how i've tried:
1. Go to developer options -> Tick OEM Unlocking
2. Use the launcher.bat from IntelAndroid-FBRL-05-16-2015.7z from this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-n1/general/play-store-howto-t3118965
3. Use the T4 option and the tablet ends up like this (because the bootloader is locked):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
4. Use fastboot and enter this code:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Then the cmd console and the tablet should look like this:
5. Select ''Yes: change device state'' using the UI on the N1 but here's all i've received:
The result is :''Fail: couldn't change state''
So that's pretty much about how i've tried to unlock the bootloader. I don't know why i couldn't change the device state! Is there anyone that can help me?
I posted this topic so that everyone can join and make suggestions & solutions to rooting the A5CN701 firmware!
Any help would be much appreciated!
P/s: sorry for the sloppy photos, i didn't have time to crop and edit them

it's no use,I use the same way and i get my device state-unlocked.

If you have got your device unlocked, can you boot into the recovery menu where the option ''Install update from ADB'' is? I can't seem to boot into the recovery menu on the A5CN701? If we can get there, I'm sure we'll figure it out

When running "fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img" and "fastboot flash boot boot.img" with the files from A5CN507_update.zip i get the IntelAndroid-FBRL-07-24-2015 to run TWRP or CWM.

No,if you unlock device,only stay in bootloader,no matter what your choice，reboot to recovery or power off or anything else. yesterday，i see Root Dell Venue 8 7840 on Android 5.1 Lollipop, which also intel device and run android 5.1.1, it must Flashing Old Firmware and Droidboot,then use the old way to root it, just like the #4 said, but i don't have the N1's old Firmware and Droidboot, so i can't try. now,we just wait #4 upload the img and do what need to do.

1. extract the droidboot.img & boot.img from the A5CN507_update.zip.
2. adb reboot recovery
3. fastboot oem unlock
4. fastboot flash boot boot.img
5. fastboot flash boot boot.img
6. download "IntelAndroid-FBRL-07-24-2015" unzip, run launcher.bat type "ACCEPT" select number 4 or 5 (i have only tested those two). Then option T4 if i remember correctly.
7. Now the device should start receiving the files and start in TWRP or CWM depending on the choices you have made.

Yes that should be adb reboot bootloader.
NO pics possible, my device is in a bootloop and i dont have the time to fix the device until the weekend.

Hi, i seem to have the same problem. ie, N1 stuck in fastboot mode. i have folowed the instructions above, ie;
- successfully unlocked it (fastboot mode reports DEVICE STATE - unlocked)
- extracted boot.img and flashed using fastoboot flash boot boot.img (successful) twice
however, when i run the FBRL script, using option T4 the same problem remains as per the earlier post, ie, it fails at the following point;
writing ^/tmp/recovery.zip^ • • •
FAILED <remote： not allowed to flash this partition>
the script then fails in the same way for recovery.launcher and logcat.
any ideas?
my device now stays in fastboot mode, whether i try chose recovery mode, normal boot etc nothing chances and each time i power cycle it comes back to fastboot mode.
please help. thanks

I am also checking 5z forums daily
Asus have launched kernel sources and it is project treble supported and custom rom development is easy so looking forward for some development to start:crying::crying::crying:

i was planning to buy this phone as i wanted to flash resurrection remix but guess have to wait

The phone released recently, and very late in the year. Most devs are on treble phones, or ones like the OnePlus 6. The phone is probably treble compliant, so in theory owners can use any treble ROM.

Yes I have unlocked bootloader. I used official asus apk
Then downloaded twrp-3.2.1-0-X00Q-20180508.img
Next fastboot flash boot recovery.img and fastboot flash recovery recovery.img - I saw Bootloader Version is empty
Now I dont know how I have older bootloader version WW_user_80.11.37.53 but I do not have twrp.

Edit: Please use my updated guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5z/how-to/guide-zenfone-5z-how-to-root-downgrade-t3815877
Here is what i did to root the 5Z ZS620KL:
1. Download the unlock app AND the installed firmware from asus:
download
2. Install adb and fastboot
download
3. Copy the app to the phone, start it and follow the on screen instructions > bootloader unlocked
Warning: When booting the phone you will now see a warning message!
4. Unzip the downloaded firmware and use a tool to extract the boot.img from the payload.bin. I used payload_dumper.
download
5. Copy the extracted boot.img from payload_output folder to the 5z.
6. Download magisk manager app from the officiall thread on xda, install it and use it to patch the boot.img on your phone (install>install>patch boot.img)
download
7. Copy the patched_boot.img back to your computer (the original boot.img will be approx 65mb the patched one approx 19mb)
8. Start your phone in fasboot mode (hold "power + volume up" to switch on your phone). You will see "FastBoot Mode" in red letters on screen. Connect your phone to the computer using the usb cable.
9. Open a command line and check if your phone is recognized by executing:
Code:
fastboot devices
You should see the serial number of your phone.
10. Change to the path where you copied your patched_boot.img and use fastboot to flash the patched_boot.img to your device:
Code:
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
11. Start your phone from the fastboot menu using volume up/down and power to select.
Bugs/problems:
- You will see three warning messages while booting, at least i do. One for the unlocked bootloader and the next one comes twice saying "There is an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details." which you have to confirm.
- I used the latest stable Magisk V16.0 + Manager V5.8 and Magisk hide is not working. It does not save the apps marked for hide. Maybe some write error?

I have purchased zenfone 5Z but it's model number on box is ZS621KL. I see the guide posted for rooting and TWRP install is for ZS620KL. is this same guide applicable to my model as well or this is a different version something like zenfone 5 and Not zenfone 5 Z

I have purchased zenfone 5Z but it's model number on box is ZS621KL. I see the guide posted for rooting and TWRP install is for ZS620KL. is this same guide applicable to my model as well or this is a different version something like zenfone 5 and Not zenfone 5 Z

Go to system>about phone> sofware version and check your version. Mine starts with WW_80.11.37.69. You need to download the right firmware version from asus (WW or JP). It should work for ZS621KL.

How can I install twrp and root?

[GUIDE] How to root your Asus Zenfone 6 without TWRP | Info about A/B

Hey guys and girls,
This is a bit of copy and paste for from my guide for the HTC U12+. I thought it might be helpful to people here too.
If you find mentions of the HTC U12+ please notify me and I will correct them.
I couldn´t find any guide on how to root the Asus Zenfone 6 without twrp yet, so I thought maybe it´s good to have one. It´s also useful for people who don´t like to boot/flash the recovery but want root access.
I also decided now to do a little write up about the A/B slot partition system.
General Information about the A/B slot partition system and seamless updates
Google firstly introduced seamless updates on the Pixel Phones and with it the A/B partition system.
So this means, contrary to non A/B devices, there are two copys of most partitions except userdata.
We have two system (system_a and system_b), two boot (boot_a and boot_b) and two vendor (vendor_a and vendor_b) partitions, amongst others (can be found further down in the partition list but let´s concentrate on these).
When booted in the OS, one slot is actively used and the other is "inactive".
The main advantage that emerges now is, that in case an OTA arrives the "inactive" partitions get updated, while the OS is running. That means while the actual OTA is happening you can use your phone just like you always do.
The following reboot will boot into the former "inactive" slot and use the seamless updated partitions. This happens seamless and just with a reboot. So OTAs are much faster!
If you are interested further here are some links:
https://www.xda-developers.com/list-android-devices-seamless-updates/
https://source.android.com/devices/tech/ota/ab/
https://source.android.com/devices/tech/ota/ab/ab_faqs
Here’s another writeup from the XDA portal!
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-...ess-updates-affect-custom-development-on-xda/
But here are a few tips and tricks:
How to reboot to bootloader to be able to use fastboot:
From booted OS with buttons: Press and hold power down until the screen goes black, then press and hold power and vol up to enter bootloader
non responding and the phone isn´t booting: press and hold power plus volume up to enter bootloader
From the OS or recovery via ADB (requires USB Debugging enabled in dev options):
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
How to get the active slot:
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
How to set the active slot:
A word of advice. If you don´t know what you´re doing you should probably not change slots. Because my U12+ only has a working A Slot. The B slot is without the first OTA or flashing a RUU unbootable.
Set active slot to a:
Code:
fastboot --set-active=a
Set active slot to b:
Code:
fastboot --set-active=b
How to extract the boot.img from a firmware.zip
1. Download the firmware zip from here : https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-6-ZS630KL/HelpDesk_Download/
2. Follow the steps described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-7-plus/how-to/guide-how-to-extract-payload-bin-ota-t3830962
3. Obtain your boot.img
How to root your phone without TWRP
Prerequisites:
- unlocked bootloader
- USB-Debugging in developer options enabled
- latest adb and fastboot binaries (can always be found here
- working adb and fastboot environment
- magisk-patched boot.img
How to:
1. Download the latest magisk manager from here and install it on your phone: https://github.com/topjohnwu/MagiskManager/releases
2. Get a boot.img that fits your current firmware. Look at the point above, how to extract it from an Asus firmware zip.
Important: if you decide to use a pre-patched boot.img (available below), download it and place it in your fastboot folder, then skip to step 11!
3. Copy the extracted boot.img to your phone
4. Open the magisk manager app and tap two times on install
5. Now choose patch boot.img file and select the previously extracted boot.img you copied to your phone in the upcoming file chooser

adb devices
into terminal which should return your serial number
9. Pull the patches boot.img to your fastboot folder via:
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/Download/magisk_patched.img
10. Reboot to bootloader:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
11. Flash the magisk patched boot.img:
Code:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
12. Congratulations you´re now rooted.
Pre-Magisk-Patched boot.imgs
Important: Make sure to download the correct version, that matches your firmware.

Is it possible to do this and still get OTA updates from ASUS?

You need to unlock the bootloader for this which will prevent you from getting ota updates automatically from asus. But you can install updates manually.

Ok, great, thank you.

Remember, this will void your warranty (as per Asus' own definition). Sad, but true.
I would root it in an instant, but am hesitant due to warranty being void.

Any way to unofficially unlock the Bootloader?

In Europe unlocking the bootloader and rooting doesn't legally void warranty. It was ruled this way a few years ago.

The folder WW_PHONE-16.1210.1904.75-0 which is the firmware my device has, is empty. Do you still have the prepatched boot.img of that version ? ASUS doesn't have that version for download anymore.
Thanks in advance.
If not: how can I update manually since I do not get any OTA Updates with a locked Bootloader ?

Use Translator.

I managed to update my device using the stock recovery. (There is a option like "apply update from sdcard") Now it is on the -133 Firmware, so I should've been able to use the existing, pre-patched boot of that firmware. When I tried to flash it, I got the following error:
Code:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
target reported max download size of 805306368 bytes
sending 'bootb' (47064 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.094s]
writing 'bootb'...
FAILED (remote: (bootb_b) No such partition)
finished. total time: 1.106s
the getvar command returns the following output:
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
current-slot: b
finished. total time: 0.009s
Do you have any advice for me ?
Edit:
After being curious and trying
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a magisk_patched.img
which worked, I tried to flash it at the active slot b explicitly:
Code:
fastboot flash boot_b magisk_patched.img
which worked, too. I'm having root, now.
The point is, to specify the partition precisely (e.g. with _a or _b).
Thank you for the guide, maybe you could add my findings to make it easier for others to root their devices, @Freak07 .

Did you download the latest adb and fastboot binaries from the link I provided in the OP?
Or did you use already existing ones or from a toolkit/easy installer etc. from somewhere on xda?
To me it sounds you were using outdated binaries.
Fastboot flash boot boot.img detects the active slot automatically if you’re on the latest binaries. Did it like this on the zenfone like on all other A/B devices I’ve owned so far and it works just fine.

That might have been the the point. In fact, I did download them, but I used (definately outdated, because on my pc since literally years) a minimal adb and fastboot installation.
I didn't think about it, as this is my first A/B device.
I won't try it now with the latest ones, because it worked and I don't want to destroy something (since we still dont have a working TWRP for backup & recovery) but I guess you're right, and the problem were the outdated binaries.
Thank you.

Download the new Firmware from Asus and copy it to the root of sdcard. Unplug the usb cable or reboot or search for update in settings. It will find the update file and display a notification.

In fact, I tried that before I tried the stock-recovery-method (found it at the ASUS FAQ-pages), but it didn't work, even after a reboot, no notification showed up.

I used the official app, while the device was connected to the internet. So yes, ASUS knows that I unlocked the device.
The device was still at the -75 firmware, when I did it.
 @MirkoMirko9 If you can live with asus knowing that you unlocked the device, try it again with active internet connection.
As far as I know, there is no other method yet.

unable to unlock bootloader with the official unlock device tool, it is showing network error although my network is alright. Any workaround?

[Updated][GUIDE]: How to unbrick your Zenfone 6 Android P/Q (ZS630KL)

Hello.
This guide will help you unbrick your device in case your devices hangs as it boots, and always boots into fastboot mode and recovery is unavailable and the like.
Note: Unlocked bootloader is not required to do any of the actions described in this guide.
Disclaimer: I'm in no way responsible for the actions you perform and whatever happens to your device due to these actions. Proceed at your own risk.
This guide is roughly based on the one @_Kuroi_ made. I have stripped out the OTA updating portion because at least currently I have the latest firmware for android 9 and 10. If you need instructions for applying an ota please read the original thread.
Prerequisites:
Service Firmware (Full QFIL) Only for WW SKU
If anyone would like to mirror these feel free to just send me a message and I'll add it to the OP.
WW-16.1220.1909.194 (Last Android 9/Pie Version)
Here
WW-17.1810.2009.176 (Latest at the time of posting Android 10/Q Version)
Here
Platform tools of Android SDK.
Latest package can be downloaded from: Windows | Linux. Somewhat optional but good to have.
Step 1 - Preparing the environment
Download and extract either the Android 9 or Android 10 Service firmware. Depending on what your phone was running before it was bricked.
Step 2 - Flashing service firmware
Connect your phone via USB
Enter fastboot mode
1.1 Turn off your device, then while holding down the volume up button press and hold the power button Release the power button when it powers up (keep holding the volume up button)
Open CMD (windows) | Terminal (unix)
CD into the folder with service firmware from item #2 from the step above.
Make sure your phone is detected by typing fastboot devices/FONT]
[*]Ensure battery is at least 20% charged. Aside from normal means, it's possible to check the battery charge via fastboot oem get-batcap.
Sample output: (bootloader) bat cap = 35, which means that the battery is 35% charged.
IMPORTANT NOTE BEFORE CONTINUING:
By default, flashing with one of the scripts wipes your userdata, in other words, it performs a factory reset.
[*]Run the script
1. 1. Windows: In the CMD you opened earlier, type flashall.cmd[/COLOR]
1. 2. Unix: In the Terminal you opened earlier, type ./flashall.sh
Note: An obvious note, do not disconnect your device from your PC while flashall script is running. Your device will reboot a few times during the execution.
[*]Once script outputs format logdump... and the phone reboots, service firmware will be flashed.
Your phone is now unbricked Congrats!
That's pretty much it. If you followed the steps above correctly, you should once again have a running phone.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask.
Cheers.

Thanks for the files
I found some sites that might publish service fws

I upgraded to the latest android 11 version (UL-ASUS_I01WD-ASUS-18.0610.2101.132-1.1.1-user.zip) by placing the firmware file from asus download page to internal storage, rebooted, clicked on the notification saying an upgrade was available
changelog from asus website
I also found out from a thread in this section saying that you can use a script (vm03/payload_dumper: Android OTA payload dumper - GitHub) hosted on github to dump img files from the full ota that gets published from asus.
You only need termux app and then run
Code:
pkg install python
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
python -m pip install protobuf
python -m pip install bsdiff4
#gain access to storage where payload.bin is located
termux-setup-storage
python payload_dumper.py payload.bin
i got
Code:
Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error
when rebooting the phone to twrp
Fixed by flashing boot and dtbo images to a/b slots
another problem was mtp not working when i pressed Format Data in twrp. Rebooting twrp again made mtp work again. adb sideload worked too

Guys, can you share the link for the latest raw firmware ?

latest raw firmware is available on halabtech and kurdish firmware, search with google
WW_ZS630KL_18.0610.2101.132_M3.23.44.19_Phone-user.raw.zip
sadly both sites let you download it only if you pay
raw firmware should only be available to repair centers so all the zips you find have been leaked
