Today I got a notification saying that a zmax system enhancement had been downloaded to my phone.. I have auto updates turned off so it didnt install which would have done who knows what to my phone. Im running stock rom rooted with butterkat kernel.. anyway here is a link to the file if anyone wants to try to fugure out what it is or if it contains something that can be used.

yea dnt update youll loose root you can try ota root keeper . but if you have twrp the update wont install from experience
 
Well going through the file, this patch updates the recovery and boot img, but more interestingly, it also looks like it updates the modem as well. Hmmm I wonder what this patch is actually doing.

If anyone on here has taken the update, what is your baseband version?
 
Yeap, this update is completely worthless then, I'm still on the same baseband.

Do you have a MetroPCS branded version?
 
just spoke to zte in spanish to make sure i understand right the rep told they already release lollipop fot zte zmax on august 11 he told me the i will get the update soon to wait few days
 
I'll believe that whenever its actually released. If they DO release...wow..I might be tempted to install it unless I can pull it off my phone, modify it for root and then just flash it...here's to hoping!
 
i spoke yester to 2 rep at zte they both told me the same think they already release lollipop on august 11 for zte zmax
 
I looked into making it root friendly but when I opened the zip I've never seen anything like it I'm not familiar with any of the commands it uses and the script is just too huge for me to sift through because my eyes just start jumping all over the place and I lose my place. I just don't have the time it would take for me to figure it out.
 
apparently to prevent an update from continuously taking up 200 megabytes of your disk space create a zip called Update.zip and leave it in your cache folder...for me anyway it seems to be preventing the system update from continuously re downloading after I deleted it.
