What would I be looking for?

A list of files the executable is using. Like say on Windows, if you debug your command prompt, and tell it to copy x file to y location, you'll see cmd.exe call the file in question, call explorer, and move it. That's what I'm looking for. Files AudioServer is calling out to
 
Ah. I was just reading through the code in GitHub and happened to catch that reference in there. Ibwas mainly looking for obvious coding errors such as brackets that are left open... But it looks like this guy was fairly tidy with his code, and he commented everything, explaining pretty well what is going on.

Aye. I'm not sure if it's an internal package or external, but my debugger should tell me directly what files it is calling.

So, not sure if this helps at all, but, I'm still running on b08 and from what I can understand that means I should be able to download and extract the b14 update. If someone can let me know how I would go about doing that I'd definitely be willing to upload it for you guys to play around with if it helps at all

Seems my IP has been banned from the ru proxy? Anyways, google "ZTE Z981 Marshmallow Kernel Source". Should be the 3rd entry down with website name (comeinproxy.ru).

I'm 99% sure that thread is where I got the source. It could be fake as I haven't inspected it, but everyone else was upvoting

If we have the physical access, the kernel, OTA updates, TWRP (Messi), and adb... Why is this so difficult?

Metro pillow talking ZTE. And Marshmallow is hard to crack in of itself. If this was a Galaxy S8 for example, it'd get rooted almost over* night* because some of the biggest reverse engineers out there want the credit. Don't get me wrong, Messi isn't small time, but he's not on the level of say Geohot. We'll get there man. Just keep trying

*Edit me engly no gud
 
We have leads though, so there's still hope. There's a ton of Marshmallow CVEs that have privilege escalation, and King "should" be working some voodoo magic, and Messi might be working on it. With Metro putting the phone on sale, many more phones are going to be circulated. I miss the days of ZergRoot though. Such basic exploits.
