What version of Android are you on?
Is there a 5.1 root available yet? Or can I sideload your rooted 5.1?
ThanksYes kingroot should work on 5.1 now.
That is because it is temp root and as soon as you reboot the phone it goes away. For full permanent root you need to follow the directions in the first post.Thanks
It unroots after reset. Im searching for an answer now.
I seen that Thanks so much for quick reply working on that nowThat is because it is temp root and as soon as you reboot the phone it goes away. For full permanent root you need to follow the directions in the first post.
I tried this on mine, could not reboot into TWRP.... [4] Now uninstall Kingroot and reboot into TWRP. You can reboot into TWRP by bringing up the power menu and selecting the reboot option, then confirm that you want to reboot, then hold the volume up button until you enter TWRP recovery.
The reboot just sits at the ZTE logo. And yes I did uninstall Kingroot as instructed.
Am I missing something?
Does it need more time at the ZTE logo screen?
I've recovered and back to 5.1 stock for now....
Are you sure you installed twrp recovery? It sounds like you're trying to flash supersu with the stock recovery.[6] While you are still in TWRP recovery, go back to the main screen and select the "Install" option. Navigate to the Download folder on your internal storage and select UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip and swipe to install, then reboot system. Once you reboot you will have permanent root.(The exact version of SuperSU that you have may vary. At the time I wrote this post it was v2.46 but has since been updated to v2.76)
I get to this step, it starts to unpack the zip, but fails saying that the package is bad?
Not sure how to get around this.
No don't use twrp manager. That only installs official builds and won't have the correct twrp for your device.I am using the V2.8.6.0 of the ZTE ZMAX TWRP
When I go to install recovery, I am asked to grant Root Permissions, I say yes, then I get the "success" message.
When I click the REBOOT RECOVERY, it does nothing.
If I manually force a reboot into recovery, it is the STOCK Android recovery NOT TWRP.
Maybe I should try the TWRP off the play store?
Soon as I reboot I lose whatever root I had.
No and no. If you already took the official update you can't root or downgrade to KitKat.
EDIT:This is no longer true lollipop can also be rooted now
Use the ZMAX Roms. According to Masterchief the Roms do in fact work with the Max+. Just have to edit the build.prop from the ROM itself. Also the Camera does not work. Other than that it's a mystery whether or not the Phone works, That is honestly my concern.Are there any Roms for this phone? I just got this phone a few days ago and finally obtained permanent root. I'm on 5.1 lollipop. Also I keep getting the new update poppup and wish I could just permanently tell it no for now. Its annoying.
I honestly don't know what to tell you.. I recently installed the TWRP Chief sent, That maybe is because I was on KitKat.. I can only tell you the ZMAX TWRP is your only hope.Hey guys I manage to rooted on the 5.1 but it needs a supported twrp .. KingRoot did rooted my phone on the computer but won't reboot in recovery cause there is no twrp support for the 5.1 , I know its a old phone but still...
Yeah I have the twrp installed. I had to in order to have full access. I was just hoping someone made or are making Roms. I love this phone and want to play with it more.
