Root ZTE Zmax Pro Official Root Discussion

Besides another more popular phone will always come out and zmax pro will just get pushed back.

True but the reason I said kingroot is a no go is because I think kingroot uses scripts to root phones for example the dirty-c0w and things like that. They are things we could run ourself with a simple Linux machine and since how we already tried many scrips and they all failed. Thus lead me to think kingroot is using them to root phones. Plus we can't really do anything with a locked bootloader anyway.

I'm moving on to the Pixel some time soon, but I'll still be around with both of my Z981's in case anyone needs debug testing, and I'll still be going the JTAG route once my clip arrives. I probably won't be as active when my Pixel arrives though. Good luck everyone.

I moved onto LG G6. So I'm selling my 2 Metro ZMP (unlocked). Good luck with the root.

This device does not have root too

Jimmy Dixx · Jul 12, 2017

Well, I guess now that there are so many people moving on to new phones, the Zmax Pro has become disposable in the eyes of many, so people will more likely be taking bigger risks with it, if it isnt your main phone, you won't be anywhere near as concerned about a brick. And while we will probably see a few bricks, eventually, somebody will either get it, or everybody gets sick of his phone and moves on. But I am pretty sure that there will always be that one person, who, for the sole reason that this phone hasnt been cracked yet, is going to keep trying, just because nobody else could do it, and eventually it will be cracked. This may be five years down the road when it literally makes no difference anymore, but somebody will do it eventually.

Yeah I know, but for $120 (new) I think I got a better phone.

Spec2nirvash · Jul 12, 2017

A new G6 for 120? I gave up on LG and their shit long ago but that's a good price

Would this help in anyway?https://androiddevice.info/submission/39025/show

MatreyuC · Jul 13, 2017

My Zmax isn't my main anymore either but I'll keep it for if anyone ever has something they need help testing that isn't going to brick it.

Muchwin · Jul 13, 2017

Ill be keeping mine for testing as well.

Moved to a v20

CPUser · Jul 15, 2017

I'm surprised this phone still doesn't have root! I'm starting to think root will never happen with this phone.

NeoZiggy · Jul 15, 2017

I'm glad some devs are still trying to come up with new ideas... thank you.

I've switched to Cricket's Unlimited Plan using the Sim connection kit. I can tether without an issue and not be limited to the 8gb of hotspot.... that's all I really wanted (besides root.. lol).

VisuallyBasic · Jul 16, 2017

Any links for kingroot c180?

This phone will eventually get rooted but I bet if a more well-known brand of phone came out with the same architecture like Samsung for example then this phone would have been rooted a long time ago, any phone manufacturer on a whim can decide to lock its users out, so it's up to us to keep customizability, user privilege and personalization alive with the products we buy with their own hard-earned money.

Not all of them. Some are still unrooted like the Zmax.

The zmax is not a Samsung phone it's a ZTE phone

That's a complacent attitude because you always expect Samsung to use the same thing, therefore Odin is always your option, my point is, should Samsung or any other well-known manufacturer whom always had rootable devices, decide to change the framework then it would've helped to have those who already cracked difficult phones such as this one to pave the way to a quick solution

Galaxy S5 ATT variant is still unrootable due to a locked down boot loader. The only time it could be rooted was 4.4.x. Everything after that can't be rooted.
