Root ZTE Zmax Pro Official Root Discussion

Hmm... I almost understood that.

So rooting let's you remove OEM apps? If someone did answer me way back I missed it. What is root really good for?

 

[Sapphiress]

If you're familiar with IT.

root is a the Linux equivalent of your Windows "Administrator account". Root allows you access to files you normally wouldn't be able to access. In this specific application(getting root access on an android phone). The uses are virtually unlimited. This will allow us to flash a custom recovery, custom ROMs, custom kernels, remove bloatware, overclock the processor, etc.

tl;dr It unlocks a shitload of features that the manufacture has locked out of the system.

Administrative control over your phone. Control which apps are system apps. Control which apps can communicate with the interwebs. Modify the hosts file for ad blocking. Things like that off the top of my head.

^ Way better at explaining in layman terms than I. Props.

 

[SirMicBic]

can someone please pm me a link to the discord link to unlock the zte zmax pro.....PLEASE

 

[dontpanicbobby]

Overclocking! That I've done, but it was a PocketPC. I begin to understand...

 

[Sapphiress]

I will send you a link when I get to it. We're not "unlocking" the phone. If you want to unlock your phone keep your service for 6 months and press the unlock button.

my phone is already unlocked. im waiting and want to help to root the phone

 

[Sapphiress]

Ask me if you want an invite to the discord server, I'll get around to sending links tomorrow.

DO NOT ASK UNLESS YOUR AF ACCOUNT IS AT LEAST 6 MONTHS OLD. THE ONLY EXCEPTION IS IF YOU'RE A RECOGNIZED DEVELOPER.

Because you actually have to modify it. It's called development not use other people's code exactly.

The main purpose of this script is to use ditycow exploit to modify the boot.img and set selinux to permissive, that's not happening as the locked bootloader revert that change on boot so is not working

At what point did I ever say I was using Recowvery to gain root? I specifically said "my exploit". And again, you're wrong. Dirtycow has nothing to do with a locked bootloader. Which doesn't have dick to do with selinux. A locked bootloader just checks incoming sigs on zips, it does NOT check the integrity of your system partition. Dm-verity does. Which I've already disabled. If you want proof that I can modify system files, here's my build.prop acquired via 'cat /system/build.prop on a Z981 B14.

Learn what you're talking about before you speak.

Mods are discussing the fate of this thread. We need folks to attack the issues, not each other.

 

[Unforgiven]

I don't want to throw out points or warnings and I want this thread to continue so you folks can work on getting root.

Please, attack the issues, not each other. If are going to post to simply attack another member threadbans will be issued.

Really and truly.. It's scam spam

 

[InuYashaAD1]

Welp, back to square one I guess. Anyone know of any successful blueborne roots for a different device?

 

[dontpanicbobby]

When you guys go to xda-developers look me up and email me. I still want to know why root is so important.

Lol! 5000 posts across two threads looking for an answer, and it's that simple. (Not really)

 

[SirMicBic]
