Yes, root is available for the zmax.. there are even a couple of ROMs for this phone. Unfortunately, the process is a little difficult but its doable.

Yes I have root on my zte maxz970. I to can say I have root BUT I DONT HAVE PERMANENT ROOT. sorry but I'm frustrated that only 1 model zte phone got supported for twrp 2.8.7 by xda.

I used kingroot to gain root access but as soon as I turn off or restart , I loose root access. Do have a solution?

Do u have twrp I can install? The one I have tried several times won't install.

Why buy used? Metro is still offering these for $99.00, unless that's out of your budget.
Perfectly understandable.

Root is a bit convoluted, but not too bad.

I recommend Nova Launcher, Sense Glass Icon Pack and Widget Locker for a customizable Lock Screen.
Image 2 Wallpaper as well for being able to crop pics to fit your Lock Screen too.

Sorry for late reply, I have the phone now and have been trying out roms.

Reason for used phone when I signed with metro I got the windows lumina 640 and didn't care for it. So I sold it and bought a zmax
