can i install wm6 on this? i need a rom or something to do that? please help me a little with that
No, there is no way to install WM 6 on this device.
why? not even a rom update or something?
Look, no offense but your message is exactly the kind of thing that started the 'n00b bashing' thread on the 'About' forum.
If you read the site introduction and the WiKi you would know the following:
1) ROM is the operating system + drivers specific for the device bundled together - they are not available separately.
2) The only place to find an official ROM update is on the manufacturers site (Mitac in your case) because only the manufacturer can create the ROM image needed for your device (and they did not do it).
3) This site is dedicated to devices manufactured by HTC, we do not have / cook ROMs for Mio (not sure if it is even possible, because the tools are not available).
4) There is no 'something'.
Hello All,
I'm not sure if anyone is aware of this, but I happened to visit Samsung's open source website and happen to come across an interesting zip file containing the source code for this phone (SCH-i927) =). I'm assuming this allows us to get our foot in the door in gaining root on this bad boy. Am I right or wrong?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1437 - new forum for that device, root has been achieved
I bought this phone (V 3.6.8) to get re-involved with programming (away for over a decade). It's a nice piece of hardware at an incredibly cheap price. Like everyone here, I am frustrated with a locked bootloader and now no root. While I "try" to get up to speed (a lot to learn!) in the android world, I'll be glad to help in any way I can. Some questions I have:
1. Does anyone know some of the differences in V3.5.0 which can be rooted and V3.6.8 which can't be downgraded to V3.5.0?
2. Has anyone compared the now available source code versions released by Amazon?
3. Does anyone know which source code versions are used with V3.5.0 and V3.6.8 (or is it the same)?
4. Does anyone know if the partition setup for V3.5.0 and V3.6.8 are the same?
I realize there might be more important questions (build.prop issues?), so any help I can get to get started would be appreciated.
Hi all interested in this device does anyone know if the bootloader can be unlocked?
Thanks in advance :good:
Also interested in this. Anyone?

The bootloader can't be unlock at the moment. Asus is known for giving the tools to unlock the bootloader. So its matter of time to have the tools to unlock it.
Asus just released the unlock tool for the ZenFone 3 so the tool for the Deluxe can't be far off. Maybe this tool will work for the Deluxe??

Source Code is on Asus website I don't get why it's not available yet?

Hey there I posted this under "rooted":
Hey, just went onto ASUS global & US website and saw that there is an unlock bootloader utility for the ZS550KL (updated 11-Nov-2016) but not one for the ZS570KL. Does this matter, since both phones are "Deluxe"? If not, any assistance to unlock bootloader and root the ZS570KL. Thanks!
Any help or feedback, greatly appreciated.

Fairly new to rooting phones and this question is due to my inexperience, but if the phones are both considered "Zenfone 3 Deluxe" what does the size have to do with it? Thanks for explaining.

well according to the this link here ... https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-3-Deluxe-ZS570KL/HelpDesk_Download/ (This is for 5.7 and there is no show of bootloader)
however this link here https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-3-Deluxe-ZS550KL/HelpDesk_Download/ (shows a bootloader unlock for the 5.5 version)
We need developers to jump on this darn phone and get it going somehow, if there is anyway possible to get their attention on it. I was able to tweak my phone a bit more with the startup manger (free) from google play to get more ram space.

5.5 has SD820 cpu, 5.7 has SD821... Would you try and use the other, untried method of unlocking if it may destroy your expensive little toy?

This is untrue. The 5.5 has the SD625, and the 64GB 5.7 has the SD820 and the 256GB 5.7" Special Edition has the SD821.
While it could be possible that a bootloader unlock tool for the SD820 could be used on the SD821 (but maybe not) because the architecture is essentially the same, an unlock tool for the SD625 most certainly would not be as it is a completely different processor.
I know we seen this answer before, but this is what i got from them.... https://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-120584-1-1.html
I emailed Asus support and got this as a response:
Me: "When can the bootloader unlock utility be expected to be released?"
Them: "Unfortunately ASUS does not actually asssit with unlocking of the Android Bootloader. I must advise that you do so at your own risk, as once the boot loader is unloked it will void your warranty. But we will transfer customers' wishes to the related department for further development."
Edit: I prodded them further and received this in response:
"I have transferred your wish to our Product department, but temporary the accurate time the unlock tool for this Zenfone 3 Deluxe model would be released couldn't be ensured."
Which I believe means: 'We can't give an official release time yet.'
There is a "petition" in Asus 's Taiwan forum requesting an official bootloader unlocked tool and the thread is marked "under active review" by representative of Asus. No ETA is given though and the thread is in Chinese. If you are also interested and want to give it a little more push you could leave English message there.

Hey, thanks for the explanation. I did not even consider looking at the specs (chipset) to see if there was a difference between the 2 models. I just thought they were the same phone just size of screen difference and/or less storage. Forgot they also release a 820 model.
At least you can get to the heart of the menu of the recovery, just can't do much there either. Thanks to a lucky source right here.... been trying find out how to do this...
https://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-120913-1-1.html
1.) Turn off phone completely
2.) press power button and volume down at same time and hold it untill you see an android logo with an "!" with the android logo that says "no command". when you see the logo release all buttons.
3.) Now, press and hold power button first and then quickly press volume Up. You will then see the options including wipe cache.

Was it necessary to post the same in 2 threads?
Anyhow, check my original thread for rooting again. I included ZS550KL Nougat rooted boot images.
Test & share your feedback in the original rooting thread.
can you tell how to get to this thread, i am struggling here today gonna throw a pc and a new zenfone threw a wall soon
How can I unlock the bootloader on a realme c21y
Seriously!!!!! Have you not read he other posts that tell you how????
Please search the forums before asking repetitive questions.
The mtkclient is a workaround tool for MTK devices If you have Qualcomm then you needto wait for realme to release it.

Unisoc processor
Edit: retracted
@MrMiyamo apologies didn't realise, you learn something everyday. Speaking to XDA seems we will be having a joint c21/C21y so wilL mean that when we post a method or twrp we will need to state if possibly will be on both devices or just one or the other
Does it make sense for the C21Y to share this forum? I'd guess some of the other realme MTK models would have more in common. Some C21 stock firmware has references to RMX3061 in the file name and that model is the C20. Anyway, all you can do is post which models are known to work and which are known not to.
BTW, except for dev work and testing are there any good reasons to unlock the boot loader yet?
I had brought issue up with XDA, due to the phone not being a big market share, that the 2 different phone models to share the same forums, I had expressed concerns that people may try to flash wrong firmwares etc due to different chips etc , so we just need to be careful as to what the title of each posts are and or the information in those posts.
As for bootloader unlock. Always a good reason, testing phone limits, trying to build new roms or recovery etc

Funnily enough, when I wrote that I didn't think I need an unlocked boot loader until some stable custom rom came out, but looking at all the different sites that my phone wants to connect to outside of the Googleplex I decided a few days ago that it needs a firewall on it to restrict outbound connections if I'm ever to use it outside my own LAN. It's seems preferable to me to run an iptables based firewall e.g. AFWall+ which requires root rather than the ones that don't and rely on the tunneling interface Android provides for user-mode VPN clients. Gaining root is also useful to back up all partitions of course and it seems the way to acquire root is best done through an unlocked boot loader and magisk.
