zte has some horrible naming system in place, they have a grand max, grand x max, grand x max plus, grand x max 2, ect.... seems they can't decide on a naming convention to go by and instead use more then one at the same time, Samsung does the same stuff but most of their phones can be found via model number so it's not as bad, that and they actually release firmware and flasing tools.
That means the bootloader version is unknown. Every mobile device and computer has a bootloader.
Bootloader is the bios basically bud
if we have the key could we just sign a "update" zip and just flash su in stock recovery?
i was thinking we did based on some discussion way back, guess not. no chance in getting that.Yes. But finding the key its the task... We would have2 have a Nasa Dev or an insider
his program doesn't work for our phone i tried it, i asked if there is any chance of being able to edit this for other phones waiting on a response.
if he says, yes i'll ask him to at least release source for his file on git hub, or if he's willing to work on a port.
root is going to require some img's get cooked up, but yes if we can pull them with edl we "should" have root.
also just fyi, i don't think we even know if our bootloader is unlocked, and rooting/ flashing via edl(at least the axon 7 does) seems to need signed img's somehow that person had the key for the axon 7, the hope would be that the same key/s are used, no clue how he got it in the first place. anyone with any knowledge that can tell me the likelihood that the same keys are used on more then one device?
alright. so, i got this phone yesterday and its amazing so far. almost stock android with some exceptions, but the main problem, which is why i disliked at&t is that the phone has no root/custom recovery. didn't do much research before purchasing the device, but im fairly impressed and is a huge improvement from my galaxy s4. im quite an android power user so if theres anything i could try to help please tell me. im desperate to root, lol. i dont know anything when it comes to development of things like root/recoveries. if theres any guides i could follow to get started on to learn the basics to developing a root method or something along those lines please dm me or quote me here and provide me with the links. thanks
what we have is edl, it's like odin but for qualcomm based devices, and 1) we need a bootloader img and / or system img to make use of it, 2) it may require signed img's 3) we can't tell if our bootloader is locked(as far as i know, please tell me otherwise) since we don't have fastboot(if we had fastboot everything would be way simpler)
hmm... i wonder if that was the same on the axon 7, i saw something about a fastboot patch via edl for it.
