    How is this phone compared to ZTE ZMAX?

    I love my ZMAX. Great phone with excellent potential. That said. How is the ZMAX Pro compared to the original ZMAX? And the big one. Do you think that there will be a upgrade to Nougat and/or supported from the likes of Cyanogenmod, etc, etc???

    Root Technical question about radio firmware

    As we all know for you to use a custom ROM on this phone you need to downgrade the radio firmware. That kills off all hope with using LTE band 12. My question is this. Why can't custom Roms use the B13 radio firmware. Is it a line of code with the Roms or does it have to do with the radio...

    Root Swapping sim to an other phone without letting MetroPCS know.

    I am absolutely convinced that MetroPCS locks sim cards to the IMEI or serial numbers of the phones. Is there a way to bypass said lock so I can swap phones out as I wish or do I need to call MetroPCS every single time? I have several unlocked phones I want to play around with, I have made a...

    Root Bootloader question

    I have a question. If there is no Bootloader unlock how can we flash a new ROM? I know with other phones if your bootloader is locked you can not flash a ROM. I am asking because I think I found the issue I was having making a CM ROM.

    Figure I would keep everyone updated on the progress I have been making with CM13 for the Zmax. After beating my head against the wall trying to get it to boot, I succeeded. It is so unstable that it is utterly unuseable. I am going to start borrowing code used for the LG G2 Mini being it...

    I have tried to be patient to see if someone is going to release a ZMAX variant of CM13 (Android 6.0.1). And from what I have seen, no one is doing it. Sooooo. Because of my unquenchable desire to have the latest OS on my phones, and the fact I don't want to go out and buy a flagship phone...
