This Tutorial Will be going Little bit Long  so keep calm..


[DOWNLOAD] All in one Zip (Unlock App + Driver + ADB+Fastboot + TWRP + SuperSU.zip)

We have to Complete 2 Major Things to Root this device.. If you have already done any of this then skip that step..

1. First we have to Unlock Boot Loader

2. Then We have to Install TWRP and Root.

I am gonna make this Into 2 Parts.. If you already have Unlocked Boot Loader then skip the part 1
Lets get start..

PART 1 ( Unlock BootLoader) 

1. Download The ZIP file I mentioned above and extract it On desktop
2. Boot Your Zenfone 3 Into Boot Loader ( Turn off the phone then Press and Hold the volume UP and Power Buttons for 3 seconds ). You will be now enter to fastboot mode.
3. Now Go Open the folder yo have downloaded in step 1 and extracted on desktop, You will see a file "0.Unlock_{Device name}.bat"
   
   NOTE : If you have the Model ZE520KL then open the " 0.Unlock_ZE520KL.bat "
                If you have the Model ZE552KL then open the " 0.Unlock_ZE552KL.bat  "  

If the Bat file wont work then you can try to execute the following command

1. for ZE520KL Execute the following command

            * fastboot flash all unlock_ze520kl.raw

2. for ZE552KL Execute the following command

            * fastboot flash all unlock_ze552kl.raw 

Then type the following commands

              * fastboot reboot-bootloader

After the phone gets rebooted automatically to bootloader, Type the following command

Then your device will be successfully bootloader unlocked and in this method you will be able to receive OTA updates from Asus, So there is no problem
