    Root ZTE ZMAX Pro (Z981) root discussion

    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...

    Root How to disable that damn system write protection

    System write protection can now be disabled indefinitely with a simple shell command. You can enter it with a PC and adb shell or a terminal emulator app on your phone. If you use terminal emulator you need to run it as root or else you will get permission denied. Ready for it? Here it is...

    Root CM12.1 Discussion Thread

    Hey everyone, I've created this thread for people (non-developers) who are currently using the CM12.1 Alpha Rom that is currently in development to discuss the Rom and ask and answer questions related to it. Hopefully this will cut down on the amount of activity on the other (developer) CM12.1...

    Root ROM request thread

    If you have an idea for a ROM that you would like to see ported to the zmax please post it here in order to prevent other threads from being cluttered with requests. Also it isn't polite to go on a ROMs thread and post a request for a different ROM. As far as KitKat ROMs go, I think carbon ROM...
