How progress coming along? Just got back from my classes.

Pretty much what @Krlypumaa said. Irma is coming directly over my house and don't have much time to fiddle with this resilient bastard.

Ah I see... Hope everything goes okay with preparing to get butt f**ked by Irma.

<br> Also be safe.

Ha. I'll should be fine as long as it downgrades to a cat3 or lower by the time it hits us. Not sure if the house can take more than 90mph winds. I'll have plenty of time if I do end up evaccing to my bar though, as originally planned.

Shouldn't be to bad.. Harvey was pretty bad for us mainly because of floods.

Can you still do a step by step on how your dumping parts so we can continue gathering Intel on this teasing bastard Z981 for us that are not in the cross hairs of Irma.

Two completely different animals on two completely different terrains.
Hope you'll East Coasters. Specially Floridians just end up with a cool story about how Irma was nothing but a tease.

Off topic but those who are in the storms way, I hope you guys and your families remain safe.

Alright Here is the step by step.

#1 Download and Install Latest Version of QPST
#2 Once Done with that, use the EFS Explorer application.

#3 Grab USB Cable and plug it in to the computer, (not in the phone yet.)
#4 Reboot Phone and PRESS VOL Up AND VOL Down, then plug in the USB cable to the phone.

#5 EFS Explorer should change from being blank to saying ("*Download") as the phone is in download mode

#6 Phone should restart after a min or so, that signifies it dumped the ram.

#7 To find the dump folder, go to the Windows file explorer,
#8 Go to This PC, and search This PC for "Sahara" with out quotation marks.
It should be a folder. Open the folder and there should be a folder labeled COM1, OR COM2... ETC.

#9 Once inside the COM folder there should be .bin files use Notepad ++ to open as some are to big to be opened normally.

not trying to be an ass but...
how does this help us?
because i did the steps found the dump files
then open the .bin files in notepad++ an all i see is gibberish.
what are these files for?
how can these dump files help us with achieving root?

Easier method that can be used on all zte phones.

Dialer-> ##3424#
Then select mtp+diag in drop down list for port.

Then use dfstool, that app has a band tab, click lte, Once in that tab press read...

Then select all the bands you want to enable that are available and then click write.

Don't need to go into ftm mode, can be done with normal boot.

So apparently a new exploit has been discovered that affects all Android versions prior to 8.0

It involves the toast messages.
