Recently released is the custom CWM recovery for Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML & ZE550ML.
This is a temporary CWM with the primary purpose of injecting SuperSU onto your Asus Zenfone 2. It doesn't permanently replace recovery. This process looks long, but really is bam 1,2,3 done. Just laid out step by step for the newbie.
- [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register]
- Unzip the package
- Copy SuperSU.zip to the base of your SD card
- Enable USB debugging (Settings > Phone info > Tap build 7x > Back button > Developer options > USB debugging)
- Attach your phone to PC via USB
- Run 'cai_dat_CWM.bat'
- In the black command window that opens, type ACCEPT
- Type T4
- Phone will reboot into fastboot and you'll see commands being issued from the PC cmd window copying the temporary recovery
- You may see some funked up images on your display for a bit. Remove the USB cable and within 30 seconds should then see it booted into CWM
- Select install update
- Navigate to SuperSU.zip and install
Bam, done.

And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth

Has anyone tried to root it with Kingroot? I'm not skilled in such things and successfully rooted my Padfone X with Kingroot after trying many other One Click solutions.

Is Padfone X on Lollipop? Its a very different beast than JB and KK. Though I wouldn't rule out the quick roots exploiting it sooner or later.
This tutorial very easy, man. Just one step at a time. You'll be done in 5 or less.

It's on KK. I don't intend to root my Zenfone 2 since the only thing I miss right now is Viper4Android which I can live without. Other functions such as freezing apps, moving to sd, auto start etc are already there. Just wanted to find out if anyone had tried. How about you unrooting yours and trying it Damian? :-)

Of course with CWM it becomes possible. And in the future it may be exploited somehow with the one-clicks.
