ZTE Z982 clean up

[GameTheory]

Unless there are 2 ZTE phones with the same model number (Z982) , then there seems to be 2 forums for the same phone. Is it possible a moderator can consolidate or move the root method below to the more popular of the 2 forums. @Unforgiven or any other mod. Here are the 2 forums:
https://androidforums.com/devices/zte-blade-z-max.11513/
https://androidforums.com/devices/zte-blade-zmax.11191/

Now for you folks looking for root. This root method for the Z982 was posted recently which is a modified version of the Z981 root method.

Question, there are a couple odd entries for Zmax, a couple that say Blade as well. Here's a screenshot, is there anything else that should be consolidated? The one in red is still unapproved (hidden). Is everything here legit phones?

The zmax line is actually confusing for forums because of the naming scheme. They're easier to distinguish by their model numbers instead.

What I know for certain is that there is:
ZTE Zmax 2 Z958 (forum for this seems all good)
ZTE Zmax Pro Z981 (forum for this is all good)
ZTE Zmax Z970 (I think all is good here too)

ZTE Blade Zmax Z982 (2 forums here for it)
ZTE ZMax 3 (??? Could actually be the Z986 - not sure)

I believe the one highlighted in red is the Z970 if you just go by that thread title. Aside from that, all seems legit.

Now what prompted me to say something about the Z982 is that users weren't able to find the root method for it because it was in the wrong forum.

So the second link I posted is the right one and the third link should be located in the second link (if I made any sense there). The first link(forum) should probably be merged into the second if possible.

Sounds like the Samsung Galaxy S2 fiasco.

I think the Original Zmax Z970 TWRP was made &/or posted by.. @dfuse06 and was like versions 2.8 to 3.1 (if that helps). That old of a TWRP is likely the 1st original Zmax's TWRP

Edit: maybe @hroark13 made that one, it's been forever ago..

Ah yes you're right. hroark13 made the one highlighted in red. dfuse06 made the newer one.

Ok, I *think* that is right (or better). But let me know!

Ah yes, perfect. Thank you.

Now that we got the forum mess cleaned up I figured I would clean up the thread. I moved the duplicate forum discussion to its own thread in the Suggestion Box.
