I lost my root access after updating my phone in order to install massive 700mb android 5.0 update, and lost my root access, tried the old rooting method that just went obsolete. After looking on the internet , I found fresh rooting methods for rooting my phone .. and ended up with a Shining USB logo on the screen ( oh well). After a few tweaks I actually roooted my phone. So I wrote down a batch script that'll do the job for you, its all packed up, weighs about 60mb & its noob friendly, too
[ROOT AT YOUR OWN RISK, I WON'T BE RESPONSIBLE IF YOU TURN YOUR PHONE INTO A PAPERWEIGHT]
TESTED ON MY ASUS ZENFONE 5 A501CG T00J WW
I did not create the su binaries, recovery images/fastboot images or anything except the root.bat file . Credit goes to its original creator.
What you'll need :
- ASUS ZenFone 5 upgraded to 5.0 Lollipop ( v3.23.40.52)
- adb/fastboot drivers (find link at the end of post)
- USB Cable & USB Debugging enabled on the phone (Google if you don't know how it's done)
Steps :
- Download the package. [DOWNLOAD]
- Unzip it and Extract it again using the UHARC tool provided.
- Connect your phone and execute root.bat .
- Wait for it,,,Win!
Links :
- adb drivers [download] find drivers under USB section.
Note : I am trying to make a small update that'll patch the recovery to the latest version so that OTA updates don't give any problem. Your recovery will be downgraded to previous one.
