When I got this phone the first 3 months of use the screen glitches a lot, and suddenly it got fixed by itself. I think is a hardware issue.I've got two of them that I'm not afraid to brick. If anyone has any ideas to try, I'm willing to go for it.
I like the phone, but the screen glitches out all the time. I'm ready to go buy something different anyway. I bought them because I needed a phone that day after losing an HTC one m9.
I've never had a phone that was this picky about having a perfectly clean screen. It seems like I have to wipe it down everytime I pick it up.

For those of you who are thinking the quadrooter exploit might be the answer to rooting this phone, as far as I know the last time someone found an exploit like this and turned it into a root apk was when geohot made towelroot. Stagefright was found by a security firm and that is probably the case with quadrooter as well. In my opinion it's doubtful that how to implement the quadrooter exploit will ever become public knowledge.
You are right, I forgot to tell I disabled the fingerprint button. My hands usually get dirty and I don't have time for cleaning every time I need to use de phone lol.Mine seem like they're just really sensitive to finger prints, and dust on the screen. Wiping them down seems to fix it for a little while. It's impossible to not get fingerprints on them. It could probably be tamed by a software update, but they don't seem to be rushing any out.
I fell asleep taking a crack at it last night. I had been up all night watching the election. I'll take another run at it tonight.
I'll dissamble it, and dump it through the hardware if I have to. I don't care if I break it. I'd rather be the one that breaks it than mailing it to someone else though. We do this to learn right.?
You are right, this device has not received any update and is not patched.Do you know if anyone has made any
progress on this? A combination of this, and DirtyCow would make this a piece of cake. The exploits was found in the wild. There has to be a code sample somewhere. I really doubt these phones have received the patch.
It has been demonstrated that the bug can be utilized to root any Android device up to Android version 7

Hello, all! I've been following this thread pretty much since its inception and thought maybe it was time I joined the board.
I was playing around with a new VR visor (NeuTab) in which the Zmax Pro just BARELY fits...so I tried putting it in the wrong way and, quite inadvertently, triggered the phone's recovery menu. I don't recall anyone talking about it (though after 42 pages, I may have forgotten). This menu includes the items "Apply update from ADB" and "Apply update from SD card"
Has anyone tried flashing the TWRP file (or others) through this mode? Or tried executing other ADB commands while connected through that?
Hey Messi..No update from @yoyoyoohh yet.
Yes man that's what i was trying in the last days but unfortunately the zmax pro have many init.**** files and we don't know the correct target one yet that's why you need to edit the source and compile for a new ini target every time u try , wtf everyone come and say i will send you a device this week and they never appear again.... with a 500 downloads for the recovery this is really ridiculousHey Messi..
I was in shock when I seen this over at XDA.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/h918-recowvery-unlock-v20-root-shell-t3490594
Looks like the Dirty Kow exploit did it for the V20.. and that damn thing just kame out!
Kan that help our kause at all? Guess the bootloader is easier to get to on LG..
Truth [emoji41]You are inciting a riot which is not considered to be a very bright idea. Burning out in such a way is what got the broken os community killed for the zmax. It also killed the original rooting community for the zmax until kingroot came out with a viable method.
Theres a way to unlock bootloader, if you enable developers options its in there.I'm starting this thread so that we can possibly work together to try to find a way to get root on this phone and compare notes on what we have tried. To be honest, I doubt that we are going to get root without a custom recovery and a way to flash it. I think that the key is either ftm mode which is accessed by holding power and volume up, or by holding power volume up and volume down which boots the phone into a mode where only the home key lights up. I believe that this is download mode and might possibly give us access to the bootloader. The big question is what program/drivers we are going to need on the PC end. All ideas are welcome here. If you think you might be able to help don't hesitate.
