Asus is now beta testing Android 6.0 Marshmallow update for Zenfone 2, Zenfone 2 Laser and Zenfone Zoom devices. The test is being carried out exclusively in the manufacturer’s home country only for now.
For outsiders who wish to join in on the Asus Marshmallow beta test, there’s a neat trick to follow: Get a Taiwanese Lollipop firmware installed on your Zenfone 2 device and then apply for the beta test via ZenTalk (official Asus ZenFone forum).
Or if you want to save the trouble of installing a Taiwanese firmware, you could just wait for a couple of days and let someone knowledgeable over at xda get their hands on the beta firmware and make it available for all Zenfone 2 Zenfone 2 Laser and Zenfone Zoom users across the globe.
In any case, rooting method for the ZenFone 2 Marshmallow firmware will be same for all, and it’s simpler than you thought.
All you need to root Zenfone 2 Marshmallow firmware is a custom recovery and the latest SuperSU beta zip to automatically patchthe boot to allow for a systemless root install.
