Root ZTE Zmax Pro Official Root Discussion

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hi guys
I used srs root on my family mobile zmax pro z981. It run through the program says root successful installs su, phone reboots. After reboot I don't have root/su. Now I think srs did something I don't know what. Does anyone know should I factory reset? Does srs really work and it's something I did? Ftm mode= Hold vol+ and power button to boot into FTM. What is FTM?

Did you even read the OP it explains what FTM mode is as well as any generic one click root method for this phone will NOT work and that's exactly what srs root actually srs root is clickbait it didint even attempt to root the phone more than likley your phone is fine don't worry about it

Finally, someone gets it.

@Billyckansbar Please do not post without reading the original post...
 
I don't like the attitudes or the disrespect of people in this thread. If I see another smart comment I'm going to complain to the mods myself. Enough of the disrespect there are much nicer ways to say things to people. Ignorance is not a virtue. Just because this device is nearly unrootable don't take your frustrations out on others.

Actually guys, anyone can post at anytime, provided they are polite, on-topic, non-attacking, etc...

We should simply point them to the correct information they're looking for, eh? :)

I think it's human nature (and I've seen this countless times in very large threads over at XDA) to make a new post if a quick perusal of the thread doesn't immediately answer their question.

No biggie...just help them out and everybody wins :).

Thanks!
 
Edit cleaning up part of my off topic post

I almost have temp root but it causes strange behavior in the phone on reboot any dev that I could PM about this I've never seen this before

OK I read every page. And yah I should have done that to begin with. This phone reminds me of my old Moto G 2nd gen LTE carrier USCellular. Special flash Qualcomm flash tool for that phone kept saying adb No device detected. But it flashed anyway

Yeah, even though it said no device attached for my Zmax Pro, I still tried commands. Didn't work though.
 
omng people can we just keep this post on topic about root and trying to get root.. not about every other things, its hard to keep up with the ones who are trying to root and asking for help when inbetween the topic questions we have a bunch of junk talk.... and i have let a mod know also ...
 
Also, I already mentioned that CVE-2016-2503 could be exploited to gain root access on our device but people ignored my post and shit up the thread with KingRoot this and KingRoot that. If anybody wants root, they will look into the CVE vulnerablities of this device instead of hoping KingRoot will magically root for us.

Better yet, we could tip off KingRoot to the CVE and they could do the dirty work for us.

Unless you can actually do anything with that vulnerability yourself it's unfair to say anyone ignored you. I have read every post in this thread, I can't say anything about a CVE because I don't even know what that is, and I'm sure I'm not alone in my lack of developing skill.
 
The deleting of every comment that isn't explicitly outlining a way to root is also pointless censorship and I'm sure mods have more pressing things to remove on this entire forum than an indirectly related comment somebody is snitching to them about.

The difference here is comments that do not outline a failed attempt, asking for information needed for investigating a root exploit, suggesting ideas/updates to the status of the device. Complaint about the thread has zero to do with it and the entire point of mods is to manage the forum. What else do you expect mods todo? Even this comment is off topic and as such I have no issues with it being removed.
