Root ZTE Warp Sync - All Things Root Guide

[devilschild26]

When will some great devs build root/recovery for N9515.Will donate!Come on people!

Try kingroot

 

[SuperR]

Can someone please check if this device is capable of using fastboot? Normally you would type "adb reboot bootloader" to get into bootloader mode so you can issue fastboot commands. It has been brought to my attention this only reboots the device. If someone can get into the bootloader, and get the command "fastboot devices" to show a number, please let me know how you did it. Thanks

Would try but don't have computer

 

[SuperR]

Well, I don't own one of these devices so I need someone to try getting to the bootloader. Currently, fastboot booting a modified boot.img seems to be the best bet for rooting. I have put one together but need to figure out how to get into the bootloader in order to issue the fastboot commands. Anyone willing to help so we can get going on some development would be appreciated.

kingo root doesn't work

Don't know if this helps but saw the steps to get into fastboot mode for this device on HARDRESET.info i would try it myself but don't currently own this device but anyway these are the steps for those who do and want to help SupeR
1 Remove and insert battery
2 Then press and hold volume down and while you hold connect device to PC via USB
3 Now you will see on the screen text "FTM"
4 Next release held button
5 You are now in Fastboot mode

We just need to get into bootloader mode. You will know you are there when you type "fastboot devices" in a command prompt/terminal and get a number back. If you succeed, please let me know how you did it. Thanks

C:\>adb devices

List of devices atta
10918d6 unauthorized

adb reboot bootloader it restarts the phone.

 

[903Tex]

also looks like volume up + power button gets it into ftm mode. it let the phone install drivers while being plugged up to that mode. no devices found for fastboot and adb....

BUT now im noticing that my computer doesnt see the drivers for the phone giving a code 28 error.(which is saying the drivers may need to be updated) this is while in ftm mode..

while phone is on adb sees the phone as 10918d6 with no unauthorized anymore!

Could this be a driver issue? i had this problem as well on the pantech burst where finally found some drivers to see the phone in something similar as to ftm mode. then when you finally adb reboot bootloader it went straight to it.

 

[tnomtlaw]

Keep at it bro

 

[SuperR]

Please try "adb reboot bootloader" from FTM mode.

 

[903Tex]

I did it didn't see the device....

 

[903Tex]

i got this from another zte device BUT i got the drivers to see the phone with a ? Doing adb reboot bootloader now reboot the phone to start up. so maybe we can do something like this..

. hold power button and volume up key at same time and boot into FTM mode 5. cd over to the directory of your avid root folder in ADB 6. type adb devices and you should see a question mark , its because it doesnt recognize it. now we need to get into the zte force bootloader (which is black screen) so type adb reboot bootloader. FROM HERE ON ITS VERY IMPORTANT U FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS EXACTLY AS I WRITE THEM OR THIS WONT WORK. 7. type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img 8. its going to say waiting for device. now go to device manager and you should see an unknown android device with and exclamation mark on it right click on it and browse for drivers . you want to pick the one that sais zte adb composite device. now install the drivers. bypass the warning and all that 9. it should now recognize the zte force long enough to push the recovery image over to the phone. ALL DONE 10. the screen will still be black because zte force bootloader is a mystery in and of itself.

All I need to know is how to get into bootloader/fastboot mode. ADB is obviously working or you would get an error when typing adb anything. Fastboot is what we need to work. If you can get to a mode where "fastboot devices" shows a number like you get when typing "adb devices", then we will be making progress. Once we figure out how to get to this mode, we can start testing the boot.img I built to get this thing rooted. Once it is rooted, we can start some development.

well holding both volume buttons and power boots up to a black screen with the notification light solid red. im trying to get fastboot to see the phone.

same as before nothing adb works fine, just doesnt see the phone. in ftm mode it shows a ? mark but adb reboot bootloader just reboots the phone normally.

I have been communicating with ZTE about this, and so far it seems they either will not tell me how to get into the bootloader, it is locked, or they don't know. My guess is that it is locked. I am trying to get them to tell me how to unlock it, will keep you posted when i know more.

 

[Gldrz1]

Well i myself called ZTE but none of these people seem to know what im talking about , every time ask them about unlocking the bootloader they just give a completely unrelated answer , one of them actually told me to download an app called LazySwipe what is this app gonna do? i asked and he said its going to give you more ram lol!!! don't think they even speak English, kinda frustrating but i may keep trying.

 

[SuperR]

The more people asking for an unlocked bootloader, the more likely it will be achieved.

 

[Bee1]

Super
Glad to see you on board. Will try adb fastboot devices on the n9515

 

[tnomtlaw]

Called and texted ZTE.No response yet.

Don't feel bad, I even offered to forfeit ANY and ALL future warranties for ZTE products if it would get us the help we've been asking for.. Waiting on a reply

Unfortunately, our new priority is unlocking the bootloader. A boot.img will not help us until we can use fastboot

 

[bcrichster]

Yes sir. Just found this but some specs are a little off (like camera pixel density or something..) Any ideas of whether it may be safe?
