Root ZTE Max Stock B06 4.4.2 Deodexed, Custom, and Unmodified

[Bray3345]

Seems to have also fixed the problem I had with Gallery not displaying my SD Card pictures and Google Music not showing my music on SD Card.
UPDATE: Nevermind, the SD Card problem persists but the rest still works flawlessly!

If this works I am so going back to kitkat. Its so much better of a operating system

I am now on 4.4.2 Deodexed and Unbloated Rooted with SDcard fix. Thanks to SuperR and theminor19 for all the work they did. There isn't much development for our phones and without them none of this would be possible. Now its time to get link2sd on and start downloading apps and optimizing.

On 4.1.2 I was running like 4 or 5 very very lightweight optimizing apps from Gejos enterprise. All for rooted phones and all had 4.0 and higher rating. Does anyone have any experience with these apps and if they work or are a placebo

Performance Booster (root) - 122 KB size - manages kernel process for all layers, so you will get the fastest for any processes in your rom

RAM Booster (root) - 58 KB size - manages RAM process for better RAM management

Internet Booster (root) - 147 KB - you will find faster internet connection and stable with internet speed boost up around 40% to 70% of speed than before

Digitizer Booster (root) - 55KB - configures for the best screen graphics settings in the system ROM for fast screen scrolling and still smooth even fast scroll, more responsive, better in digi-touch experience

I was running these 4 programs along with setCPU on 4.1.2 and my phone was pretty snappy. But I was hoping others would test these apps out or chime in. I like the fact that they are root only apps lightweight and free and the paid versions are mainly just add free.

Can someone please write a complete idiots guide to installing all this with links to Philz recovery and everything to say I'm lost is a complete understatement I have been doing rooting my phones since my first android and with this I am not comprehending something.

I updated the OP with a link to PhilZ where it says "NOTE2: Your device must have CWM/PhilZ to flash ROMs." Otherwise, the instructions are pretty much noob friendly already.

Kitkat normally merges the app storage with the media storage. Did ZTE skip out on this or am I missing something?

hi again, the wifi problem is ended! desactivate the connections optimizer.

Hey I just wanted to know how you got link 2sd working on our phone, I did the partition and it would not show on the app,if you can tell me step by step I would appreciate it ,I'm going to download the apps you recommended to and let you know how they work for me

Hey i haven't checked the forums in a while but i used mini tool partition wizard.

First you need to delete the external sd from the mini tool. This option will be at the top in the middle. Just make sure you have your sd card highlighted and not your c drive or something. After you click delete you'll have to click apply. After every option in mini tool you should have apply as an option. I guess its a security feature but i think some people skip this.

The next few steps are easy but important. First partition is fat 32 and the 2nd is ext 4 not ext 2. On fat 32 this will be the space on your external sd. The percentages should be around 20-25% for your 2nd partition of your total external sd card. Like if you have a 16gb choose 4000mb or 4gb not as far as huge sd cards i still think making the 2nd partition (ext4) no bigger than 6gb or 6000mb or 20-25% of the sd card is crucial in this actually working. When you select fat 32 the first partition make sure you choose the exact number left for the 2nd partition ext 4. like if the total sd card is 32 and you choose 27 gb or 270000 mb than it should show 5 gb or 5000 mb left over. I think after all that something like apply or partition will be an option. Its been a while so i cant remember what the ui on mini tool looks like. But this should work for you. Just remember dont make the partition for ext4 bigger than 6gb or so and never more than 20-25% of your total sd card space.

After all that download and install link2sd than reboot than open up link2sd and i think create mount will pop up than reboot again. Open up link2sd and click storage info in settings and your 2nd partition should show up

Hope this helps or anybody that wants to use link2sd.

Hey superR great work with this fone but is there any chance we can get you to put out an AOSP kit kat rom or an update to your super rom I really like the flexibility that xposed framework gives our roms but great work so far I've had 2 of these running super for a couple days and it's better than my sgsIII now

I don't think I will do another SuperROM or AOSP for this device. However, you can install Xposed Framework on the stock 4.4.2 rom (KitKat) and get nearly every feature you could ever want.

I will put together a rom with Xposed tomorrow.

Will keep my eyes open thanks a million bro

Will keep my eyes open thanks a million bro

Give this one a try.

Features:
OC kernel
sdcard fix
Xposed Framework
GravityBox
Host file tweaks

Download:
stormer_stock_B06_custom.zip

How to use Xposed Framework:
Once the ROM is running on your device, go to your app drawer and select Xposed Installer. Click Framework, then Install/Update and give it root permission. Hit cancel when it asks you to reboot, then go back and click on Modules. Check the box next to GravityBox and reboot. Now you can open GravityBox from the app drawer and start playing around with stuff.

When I got my Warp 4G, it came from Ebay and did not have a sim card either. I had to call Boost at least 10 times until I finally got to a rep that sent a sim to me. They can do it but they don't want to.

edit: the card you need is called a UICC, not sim fyi

edit2: here is a link to buy one on Amazon if you can't get them to send you one

on Warp 4G, people get msl/spc using MSLUtility.apk, but on ZTE MAX i received this error, may be ideas how to fix it?

I believe that utility stopped working as of KitKat. The easiest way to get MSL is to activate the device on their website. You will get the MSL after activation.

 

[CrBl]

Thank you, but i have a problem, boost website tells me: "The MEID provided is either already in use or associated with a pending port in. Double-check that it was entered correctly and either try again or enter a different MEID to begin your activation."
Can I downgrade the firmware for this tools work?
