Root [TOOL][ALPHA] ZTE Warp 4G Unbrick Tool

FOTAkill is on your profile posts thing? and nano sure, will do. my bootloop happened when i tried to install Beats control panel bc im all about music quality. well i downloaded the drivers and all hell broke loose. would it be idiotic to try again?
My JollyRoger4G ROM has ViPER4Android.. Blows Beats audio to H311. Trust me

Ur screwing up bro..

Please ignore the guy behind the curtain with the green badge ... I really am the great an powerful Oz ... and when I am not offering to give young girls a ride in my balloon (take that anyway you'd like :eek:) or scaring the indigenous wildlife :thinking:, I am solving problems by pointing out the obvious. :rolleyes:

This is my take. Newb user who shall remain nameless rolls into the thread frustrated with a semi-bricked device and cops a little attitude because all the other wannabe dev's on the interwebz couldn't help. Fully expecting the same level of non-support, he finds us -- y'know, people who actually know stuff and share it without making them feel like what's in the bucket the guy at the end of the circus parade is holding.

So, taking advantage of the most excellent work by our resident dev guru, Newb User fixes his phone and sheepishly expresses gratitude. Then, in an effort to make him feel at home, (and, yeah, get in a little nudge-nudge, wink-wink) Mr. dev engages in a little sarcastic banter, to which mr. newb, taking no offence and intending none in reply, returns self-abasing repartee.


If I got that right, then props to the dev. If I didn't get that right, props to the dev anyway.

Why was I here again?

:D

so i have used the viper and it seems it doesnt change the quality much
There are several options and settings that give more possibilities.. Like, set the driver to super high audio quality and set the app UI setting to Expert.. Hopefully it does ya better

Nevermind, found it on page 2
Wellp ****. doesnt even turn on after i flashed that TWRP... just shows the red light until i pull the battery

Looks like the firmware is still there to tell when im holding the button to turn on the light, but the screen does nothing and holding the pwr wont turn the light back off.. :/ rip

First try starting the attempt to initialize the xorg server session.
Do that with the command_
startx
If the x11 window system doesn't start, then try searching the filesystem for the program.
use list command_
ls
for looking into directories. Look in the current one with ls (nothing after). I can't exactly remember where it is but I had the same problem.
Also look in
~/Desktop
/bin
/root
/usr/local/bin
/opt

The development of this tool for the Warp4G instigated ZTE to lock down Fastboot on the next device, the Warp Sync
That sounds about right. OEMs are always tinkering with the bootloader. Honestly now that's pretty harsh to totally restrict fastboot! [emoji43] We now have things like magisk systemless root & xposed framework battling the Safteynet API.

Any Fastboot cmd to the Sync does a general reboot to safe mode or something..

Fastboot handles direct write access to the phones raw flash memory storage. It's part of the Android SDK but it's meant for OEM/Dev use.

I did find the exact command for this tool by extracting the rootfs. Idk if it's still needed but it is....

subox xterm -e "/home/tux ZTE_Unbrick_Tool/zteunbrick"

Ok, thx for response. So am I to understand this as currently there is no fix for my screwed up ZTE Warp Sync then? :( bummer. Will hold on to it for now to see if anyone comes up with some magic in the future. That sucks. Thanks for the help and all the great info here guys! Keep it up!

Not a problem. If you get another Sync, I've released custom ROMs for it as well. Check the Root Guide for all ROMs
