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 You Will Got Notification For SU binary To be Update if its out of date.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
