Root ZTE Zmax Pro Official Root Discussion

You could do it the lazy way with just a time out of like 10 seconds, but it'd slow down the entire bruteforce. Ruby would work well for this as well, but the only thing I know about using Ruby is how to install things with it really.
I mainly use VB with C++/C#, but they really aren't suited for a linux environment.
The main languages we could use would be:

Basic bash scripting
Ruby
Python
Perl
C++ if we can interface Aircrack-ng with it
ASM (I'm not doing it in ASM. Even debugging is a pain in the ass)

So if anyone knows any of these languages, and have a linux environment set up for ath9k or any other prom NIC drivers, with the aircrack suite installed, we can get moving on the broadcom exploit.
Hey, thanks for the heads up, I'mma give it some juice.

Guys. I noticed something on the b20 update. Under System updates is this option to update from the storage card. This is on the zmax pro. Any input? Sorry. Amature here. But it seems like everyones trying to do what I Imagine can be achieved here for flashing Firmware. Can yiu just create an package and apply it? Like go to android sdk kit....create a ROM and flash it with this utility built in?

Well. I didnt remember seeing that option in b04 update. And alot of the earlier preamble suggested people were refusing to update to increase the possibility of root to my understanding that new updates kinda close the doors of these processes here. I assumed if an applicable rom was created that maybe the manual method of update satisfies that requirement...

1. Update packages from OEMs are signed with private keys. Keys we do not and will almost never have access to unless we work at ZTE (Metro/ Tmobile if they self sign instead of just distributing)
2. The option was always there.
3. If it's simple and in plain sight, you can assume we have already tried it.

Check the logcat. It may have the auto disable/reenable "feature".
Negative captain.

Metro pcs will replace the zmaxpro on Aug 28th. They will now sell the blade zmax. If you want nougat report your phone stolen and use the insurance to get it for 50 bucks lol.
Hey ... Idea. Don't be a dick to people and commit fraud.
