Root Stock rom on Sync?

[Purerawenergy]

Does the Sync come stock with a KitKat ROM? I think I want one regardless. From everything I've read (and for the price) it looks like a pretty decent device to have. The only other one close to that price range (unlocked) would be the OnePlus One.

Yes. 4.4.2.. And quick toggles and a few stack apps look vastly different than Warp 4G, but otherwise very close similarities.

I'm SERIOUSLY thinking about stashing this Sync as a backup and going back to the Warp 4G

I may get one too. And I would love to get my paws on the 1+1, IF I could find. I know they are hard to find. And someone will find a way to root it the Sync its just a matter of time. It only takes 1 disgruntled employee to put it out there.

Is the access code something they use to troubleshoot or fix OTA?

I'm thinking either troubleshoot or complete overwrite (in house) on their end. I found a list of "hidden" codes accessed by dialer that took me to all kinds of screens, even one that would let me change radio frequency! None that I tried had interacted with "Fastboot Devices" in terminal.. I will state that I DID NOT try every single code I found due to frustration. There are also other ZTE devices that access bootloader & Fastboot via differentiating soft button combos (haven't tried much on that yet)

I saw an app called "Dialer" with a link to secret access codes, but didn't try it, is that what you're talking about? And I have time in my hands if you send me a kink and tell me what to look for I'll gladly help.

By all means, try "dialer." I haven't tried it yet.
I used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.afp_group.software

And the ZTE codes link was for older phones like the Warp (OG), & Blade, but some actually DID still work!

Alright, I'll check it out later and let you know what I come up with. How will I know what the codes do in the dialer and what should I be on the lookout for?

I see you started a new thread as well. Nice

Nope. Ur the OP

I was trying to enable Fastboot response from ANY mode/screen that works..
Gonna check into this too..

Someone else must have, I didn't start this, but no worries, guess we were getting off topic. I'll check that out and be in touch.

I had the convo moved out of respect for SuperR's thread. Besides this device won't get much Love unless enough ppl make noise in the proper places. [emoji6]

1+1 what??

That's fine, I figured as much. Just downloaded dialer app. Will start plugging away and see what happens.

Oh, ya DID get a Sync? Right on!

Pull up terminal and type "fastboot devices" after every code attempt, it works if we get a number. THEN SuperR can help us from there..

I'm all over it like a wet, cheap suit. And no, I haven't got a Sync....yet! What, you don't like the 1+1?

Ohhhh, I 'need' a sync to see if it will unlock?

 

[Purerawenergy]

I get it now. Downloaded the app and have my answer. I would need a Sync to test the codes. You didn't specify before providing that link. Guess that ends that before it starts...[emoji31]

Really don't know what the 1+1 IS.. LMAO

Right... But now u understand where I was going with this about codes/button combos to unlock/access (possibly) Fastboot? Just a possibility that currently eludes me at the moment..

I was thinking (gears turning and smell of wood burning in the air[emoji6] ) that just maybe I can use some charm and persuasive magic to have a tech support rep to inadvertently give me the code we seek while attempting a troubleshoot. Suggestions are welcome @SuoerR and @bcrichster for the technical jargon I need to use and exactly what answer I seek. I will do the rest. Is this possible you think?

As a guy who deals with reps all the time, if we don't got it...we just don't for it.

Someone must have it though and like I learned as a child, "closed mouths don't get fed" & "where there's a will there's a way." I appreciate what your saying but we'll never know unless we try right?
