Don't know if this is helpful...or if it will work...the specs on this phone look pretty close...to our Elite...if my phone was not already activated...might try it.

I tried the adb root apk with no luck. That was a few weeks ago, so maybe someone else can give it a shot. Every time I did the adb shell, I never got root shell.
Hellz yeah! Can you run Root apps & erase bloat? Don't forget to erase the whole app folder with a Root browser & reboot to make sure Root stays, but if you got it, then Sweet.

will do...Zorin is my daily driver...dual boot my laptop between that and windows 10...some programs don't run well on Wine..
No Wine, Lol. Str8 Linux. Native is best, of course

some windows based programs will not run without wine...on Linux...some won't run on Wine either...had X86 android on my laptop for a while...but put it on a mini instead...needed the room...
I just dualboot.. That gives me all of both worlds. Linux Mint & Win10, no problems with either. [emoji41] I use Linux as my main OS and only use Windows when i can't find a Linux equivalent.. Like the LG Flashtool.

I have tried, but haven't found anything, yet.
I don't understand how the ZTE n9518 has no root solution when its open source license and gives you the info on it in setting, about phone. With all the smart hackers and software out there you think it would be a snap for any phone to be rooted. I am no know it all guru about programming anything by far but have come to understand enough and always open to learning.

If your talking about SRSRoot, I tried it in like March. And it was saying the phone was rooted but it wasn't. Unless it has changed. Which I hope it has lol. These new apps are demanding more power really need root...

Yes, I have tried everything I could think of. Emode gives you a slew of debugging options, but nothing we're looking for.
I tried srsroot and at first it would just say I was already rooted, so I unrooted kingo and tried again. It would fail, so I tried them both at the same time. Kingo would get to about 90% and SRS would remount rw install binaries and remount to and reboot. No root after reboot. I tried it again and pulled the USB after SRS remount rw command, but it looks like write protection is still not going to let it work, freaking Ztecfg magic.

We won't get perm root unless we get a bootloader unlock, and this is also why when I tried dding boot to recovery it didn't work.

"I am not sure if we can mod the ext_csd or not, I have tried and failed, and there is a lot of info in that csd, but it also has information on any sectors that are to be write protected, this is determined by some params like wp_grp_size and such. Now if the boot loader boots you into regular Android (boot from the "boot" partition" it temporarily write protects those sectors and they can not be changed. If however the boot loader boots you into recovery, the boot loader does not do this.
Now there is code in the kernel zImage that denies permission to mounting or remounting /system as r/w. This is why people get permission denied, when they try to remount /system, same thing it is not called if you booted into recovery
Since we have the source code to the kernel, you can bypass or removed this code if you want and you will not get the permission denied error anymore when you try to re-mount system, and it will look like you have R/W to the /system partition, and you can delete a file and it will disapear, but as soon as you reboot the phone any changes you made will be gone, because you were only modding the buffer, I have it this way in my CM12.1 I think"

ZTE just announced they are allowing users to unlock the new axon bootloader. Maybe someone can get them to do this for the warp elite? You have to go to their developer forum and request it.
Got a link?
