I figured I just didn't want that thread to migrate back over here so I was just saying something real quick.
Yeah I was just throwing stuff out their, but even a idiot could patch su binary in and flash if instructions were given, alot easier(and dirtier) then building a recovery or kernel, since you only need to add a file or two in the right spot on the system, but I'm not willing to try as this phones is my home internet for the time being. If someone feels like giving it a shit, make sure to factory reset the phone first to remove the encryption and pull the clean system before messing with it.
Also not recommending anything unless we have a way to restore,in case of a fukup if your s die hard, or your only point is to mess with this phone till it gets root go ahead, but if it's your daily driver don't try my stupid ideas, at least till someone proves it can work, at that point there IMG will be a prerooted one anyone should be able to flash, the prize for being a guinea pig means either a f'ed up phone or being able to be the 1st with root and sharing a prerooted IMG
I don't care how this phone gets rooted, this isn't like the old days as long as we have root when can flash recovery via flasify, took years to make a app that could flash everything with out recovery but it exists now, not saying that being able to flash without root isn't preferable since you have a lower chance of bricks, but fastboot, Odin, lgup are all optionally at this point if they don't exist it won't stop phones from getting recovery.
Paragon did say that we had access to update tar files for zte(where?), they could be decompressed and edited, that should work right? If I remember correctly you can build a img from those packages, but would we have to insecure sealinux for this to work? I have no clue how to do such things, just asking
Oh sorry, I misread? Any way to talk to zte support and BS being a cellphone repair shop and asking to get the firmware and tools to fix and prepare the device for resell?
Easiest just to post the link to zte's site, the kernel won't disappear they have to make it available because of copyright, do their link it's just as good
As far as I know, fastboot doesn't exist on this phone, and adb is nerfed won't run any su commands or we would have root, I thought we could pull IMG's via adb but others say it's not so.
