    Root ZTE ZMAX Pro (Z981) root discussion

    I'm starting this thread so that we can possibly work together to try to find a way to get root on this phone and compare notes on what we have tried. To be honest, I doubt that we are going to get root without a custom recovery and a way to flash it. I think that the key is either ftm mode...

    Root ROM request thread

    If you have an idea for a ROM that you would like to see ported to the zmax please post it here in order to prevent other threads from being cluttered with requests. Also it isn't polite to go on a ROMs thread and post a request for a different ROM. As far as KitKat ROMs go, I think carbon ROM...

    Can anyone confirm whether 64GB SD cards work for the ZMAX? I have a 64GB SD card that is formatted as fat32 (worked in every phone I tried it on) but when I put it in my ZMAX it says blank SD Card or unsupported file system.

    Root Question about Xposed Framework

    I would like to know how well GravityBox and Wanam Kit work on the ZMAX. Since the stock rom is basically vanilla android, and very similar to that of a Nexus device, I'm thinking that all the tweaks included in GravityBox and Wanam Kit should work. Can anyone confirm this for me? Also, I...
