Does this work on my asus zenfone laser ze550kl z00ld please i need answer the build number is WW_user_21.40.1220_2179_20170803060020715_201602190037
Just a heads up, there’s a mistake in the guide.
When you’re flashing the recovery you gotta enter “fastboot flash recovery twrp.img”, the “recovery” part is missing from the guide.
Thanks for pointing out the mistake. 😉
I did ALL the steps and when i reboot to recovery. it goes back to stock recovery. What seem to be the problem here?
Me too facing same problem. Any solution for go into twrp mode

Hi Everyone. I solved the SuperSu installation problem downloading the last apk from internet (2.79) and installing it manually.
Just google “SuperSu latest version zip file”.
Now my phone is rooted.
thank you so much. It worked. as you said unlocking bootloader wasn’t needed for marshmallow.
Thanks once again

Hi,
I got Asus zenfone 2 laser 550KL running Android 6.0.1(v21.40.1220.1998_20). Installed the new bootloader unlocker for Marshmallows & went to fastboot, installed TWRP (v2.7) and installed inbuild (TWRP’s Su binary). After reboot it does not start but gets stuck at home screen (Asus In search of incredible logo with loading sign). Kindly help. Let me know what should I do next.
If You’re On Marshmallow Firmware Version 1877,1943 or 1998, you don’t need to unlock your bootloader. The good part is it won’t void your phone’s warranty.
This seems the problem of bootloader also called soft brick , i assume you are able to boot in to recovery (twrp) try after wiping factory data (factory reset + dalvik cache).Try this and let me know the status.
thankyou..
So, after rooting my phone, i proceeded to install a custom rom, at the twrp menu i formatted the current rom through advanced formatting…after that i went to the sd card through the twrp menu to install the custom rom, something happened and now my phone is on a boot-loop, the only way im able to access my phone is through the asus recovery mode.. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/fdb8d6864263a7c6ead11763b1a38e12118bd66b0f3e145d6f67e89002b79a47.png
Try Downloading Correct Rom And Flash Agian,
May Be Its BootLoop.. Flash Stock Firmware Again.

Hi admin, I recently tried this process however when I was at the point wherein I had to flash ze550kltwrp.img, I get this error
FAILED (remote: unlock device to use this command)
Note: I have already unlocked my device by using the unlock tool within the link.
Try rooting the device using KingRoot. If it doesn’t, your bootloader is still locked.
Its Means Your Bootloader is Still Locked. You Have To unlock Bootloader First.
I too face the same problem. Did you find any solution. Few people say no need to unlock bootloader in Marshmallow.
i have flashed twrp ..but when i go to recovery using power+vol down button..its still the stock recovery..not twrp..help me
Try flashing TWRP through flashify app.
Flash TWRP By This Command: fastboot flash twrp.img
and reboot again. it will work 101%.

i was stuck in asus logo after i flash superSU …. help me pls….!!!!!
hi i too having same problem what to do? after that
i also had the same problem. After i install superSU it would restart and get stuck. and i removed battery and go to recovery but it would go to stock recovery. I did try stupid things to try flash CMod rom, and SUperSU, but it showed signature error and same problem persisted. Finally mine is working and having cyanogenmod but still twrp is gone, i have only stock recovery. Though i am not sure how i got it to work but i did this thing. You see the problem is with the TWRP and the supersu here in this page.
Before you try this please download the stock rom from Asus website.
And dont keep anythhing else in your sd card. because my sdcard also got formateed with this.
1 ) I searched in google for “SuperSU.zip latest” and download the latest one from someother site.
2 ) And i searched in google for TWRP for “Asus Laser 550kl” and i found the url in a webpage called “zenfonehelps.net” .i downloaded the version “twrp-3.0.2-5-Z00L”.
3 ) I connected phone to my laptop and opened ADB and typed “fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-5-Z00L.img”.
4 ) this TWRP version is different from the one in this webpage. So this one did not show any error when i first installed SUPERSU and then continued with CyanogenMOd from this page. And wipe cache and dalvik cache.
5 ) And it restarted and i waited for 15 -20 seconds…voila… I can see the cyanogen mod logo…
6 ). Though i have installed CMod, my recovery is back to stock rom and my sd card got formatted. And i want to change to TWRP.
7) First i willl download the stock rom and try these in case i mess up something.
Bootloader not working. It says “unlock device tool stopped”. My unit is Asus ZE550KL 6.0.1
try New Unlocker App Updated In Above Guide..!!
Hello brother, I’m using ze550kl running on lollipop. I cannot unlock my boot loader using the app given here or by using the latest version of the same app from ASUS official website.

Hey buddy, I’m using Asus ZenFone 2 laser ze550kl, running on lollipop 5.2 and build no: 1.17.40.1531.
I want to know whether this build number is supported by your root method? ☺
Thanks.
This Method is Universal Method. Does’t Matter Which Version You using. Just Matter What is Which Device You using.?
Thanks for the info. One more doubt, can we update “super su” with the latest version after flashing this version? Usually people say dont update supersu after flashing it. Also, does unlocking boot loader initiates a factory restore and hence full data lose??
No Data lost in unlocking bootloader.!! And Also no Need to update Super Su. You Will Got Notification For SU binary To be Update if its out of date. then just install it.. Till then No Need to update Super Su!!
Thank you very much for your grateful work. WW_1.17.40.1234 rooted as above steps (drivers already installed).
Can i update to Marshmallow? I have downloaded from asus site.
After update, again unlock boot loader? again root?
By which method? Place in root directory and restart? ADB fastboot (like rooting)?
Yes You Can Update To Marshamallow. by That Downloaded Zip File From Asus. no Need To unlock Bootloader Again As Your Device Bootloader is Unlocked And Rooted Already..!!
@vijay
Will this also apply on a newly updated zen fone 2 laser 5.5 (ZE550KL) – Marshmallow version?
Thanks
Yes. you Can Apply. Does’t Matter Which Version You Using. Just matter What is Which Device You using.!!
