It's officially Thursday April 16th, and we still haven't heard anything from Woody yet. His last post was last Sunday at about 3:00pm. I'm am absolutely NOT calling him a liar or anything of that sort, I would however appreciate any kind of update as I'm sure the rest of you Fierce 2 owners would as well. Just saying is all.

it would seem that getting this phone rooted has about the same odds as a tornado going through a junkyard and piecing together a working 747 out of it

You know what, I'm gonna contact a Dev to help us, I don't have spare time, and that one zxz0O0 was a price of crap, no offense to him, he never even bothered to help after he failed.

Well guys been a week and still nothing new for our Fierce 2 root.I've been checking everyday and still nothing for root.The devs working on combining exploit and SuperSU into a working apk for the Zte Zmax that I spoke last week are still working on it and when I posted on progress they were kind of rude and said it's not easy to just sit back and wait....so I guess we'll all have to wait a little longer. I'm online for at least an hour every day looking for root solution so I'll definitely post here first if I find one or whenever devs working on Zte root finish that apk there working on.

My build number is C6EUPE0

I just updated to this build, regrettably. Is it just me or did this update remove Runtime choice from Developer Options? Fahhhkrrrs. The main reason i enjoy this phone was the speed & memory improvements in ART.

I haven't updated yet, and i have bad experiences with the art runtime

You realize there's nothing but ART now going forward? Never an issue in KK for me, smooth, fast, greatly improves multitasking memory allocation, at the detriment of size where the 4GB flash is too small.

Anyway, I think it's still active (ART optimizes at boot for the 1st time, or is that tell-tale sign of DAVLIK?) as I still only have 300MB of available internal storage and run a really tight ship. But they removed the option to switch for some strange reason.

I'm still deciding on retiring this phone for the Alcatel Idol 3.

Haha really? your gonna go crawling back to Alcatel for another one of their phones? I was at the T-Mobile Store today and i was really tempted to buy the Nexus 6, or The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. But I'll wait, this would be a perfect phone if there was root. btw, i did notice the thing about the runtime too, so now we can't chose between ART or DAVLIK, and i really love ART, mostly because of AOT, but now we're stuck with JIT, but if we're really lucky, Alcatel and T-Mobile or Metro will give us Lollipop, but i doubt it. This Phone Doesn't gain much attention :/

Haha, I know right. It looks like a really good phone at the low price of $200, the extent of my budget. To tell you the truth, I've had a pretty good experience with this phone, no root notwithstanding. For price paid of 50-60, I'd say I got my money's worth.

I don't think there will be a root but slight chance with the Zmax.

I think I'm still on ART but yeah, can no longer change. One thing I know for sure, Metro will NEVER release Lollipop for this handset, haha!

hakujin · Apr 22, 2015

Hey, does anyone realize this is one of the few (only that I know of, but likely more?) KK phones that allows one to choose USB Mass Storage when plugged in Vs MTP? That's pretty cool.

Can someone get the developer from towelroot to help?

Geohot is vey busy, BUT, i will message him.

Fon Spaak · Apr 24, 2015

If GeoHot is willing to cooperate, in which i hope, In which time would you expect that the 7040n will have a root and why can't this phone be rooted easily?
(If he's willing to solve this little problem for us.)

Not sure, depending how much time he has, and how much time he'll spend smashing this phone and buying a new one, I'd say 3-4 months, 1 year tops. Also, i just wanna add, i did contact ChainFire yesterday, still waiting for a reply(he's also very busy).

Fon Spaak · Apr 25, 2015

So it will take a long time then, I also want to know is why is this rooting thing getting really dificult for this phone, is there something that anyone can contribute to the "Project"?

Geohot now works for Google. He's not allowed to look for exploits in Android.

Fon Spaak · Apr 26, 2015

Any potential hacker out there that can root this phone?
