Root ZTE Zmax Pro Official Root Discussion

[Nthall]

You mean that pressuring them will somehow hinder all this progress we are making towards having control of our devices?!?

Yeah. It already has.

 

[Chris5046]

That's utterly preposterous. I must respectfully disagree. If their consumers do not or cannot voice their opinions, desires, wants, needs, and issues then what does that say about the company? So we are not supposed to voice our displeasure about the lack of ability to control and do what we will with a product we bought, out of what fear that it will cause negative recourse? A company saying we can't modify our phones is like saying you can't install a new radio, rims, or anything on a car that is bought and paid for. It's the same principle.

I really don't see this device getting rooted what progress that's been made has continuously been shut down unlesss whoever zte or T-Mobile can unlock this phone unlocks it we got nothing and I personally can't attempt to modify my phone cause of reasons (nda) that prohibit it so I wish you guys luck I'll keep up but seriously I'm not seeing it unless somebody aka zte or T-Mobile plays ball

 

[Nintendo1889]

I need to recover some text messages and it requires root. (should have given out the Google voice number, I know)

 

[PsychoKing]

Use diskdigger to recover your emails. You do not need root

 

[PsychoKing]

Never mind,it didn't work

 

[PsychoKing]

Maybe try to download it from your computer. I'm using the mobile app. Sorry

Any dev you know who possibly could/would?

 

[Mikestony]

If I knew of one, I'd direct you guys to him, but I'm not following this device.

 

[DroidLuv29]

Quick question I have the ZTE ZMAX Pro and I, don't know the name of it but I clicked my build number several times and there was a option that said unlock bootloader and I clicked it said it was unlocked....I haven't tested anything because I don't know much about rooting but isn't a unlocked bootloader what we need?

 

[colorrrs]

if this is what you mean then that only allows it to be unlocked it doesn't actually unlock you it have to do it yourself

 

[DroidLuv29]

Oh ok....So is it basically saying it allows you to unlock it but when you physically do it you can't?

 

[nino44]

ZTE blocked the fastboot, that's why we can't unlock the bootloader. We are hoping ZTE decides to unblock it, but I am not sure about it.

Well I don't think anyone knows a device until they have worked with it. Do you know of any devs who have worked on root methods or want to that are active right now or are looking for something to do? They can be briefed on what progress we have made very quickly. You could as well. There are thousands of people who want root for this phone as you can see from just the kingroot requests alone, but there are precious few of us even talking about it much less actually trying to achieve it ourselves.

 

[biledigger]

Kingroot had a new method this morning. Mine got to 51% and failed. Im on b14. Anyone with b12 or b08 wanna give it a shot?

69% on an undisclosed build. That number is really bullshit though. It's more of a timer than a progress bar. It doesn't really mean anything unless it roots the phone.

It depends on whether your phone is having issues, or if you care about security.
