ZTE Midnight!!!! No luck

I am having no luck with root.... tried all :confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jawa6988:
How?

How did you get kingoroot to run? I get stuck at "Installing Drivers" forever. I've tried installing my own drivers, both the included ones from the phone's internal memory as well as the latest ones from ZTE, and the ZTE ones that kingoroot points me to in the troubleshooting section. I'm running Win8 and I've also tried disabling Signed Driver Verification. What is the magic spell to get this thing to run? I agree $20 is *****in if I can just get the thing rooted so I can install more than 1 app and *cough* turn on tethering
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wireproof:
Haha that's the point right xD $20 hot spot! But I agree. Nothing seems to be working ATM... Too much bloatware and need to get started on a CM nightly...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jawa6988:
Right

Seriously, I left it sitting all night to see if it would ever start to download. The help section says that it's stalling on Driver Verification and to disablle it, but it makes no difference. I have trouble believing that's the problem since it won't even download the driver, how can it even try to "verify" it. Besides that fact that I have the latest driver from the manufacturer and have tried the one from the link in their help pages to the ZTE driver. Is there no command line option to skip the driver installation and just see if it will run? I know i can access it by adb. OR does anyone know of a method to root this thing manually? I'm not skeered to use terminal and dox boxes, but I'd rather not do it blind. THis phone is nearly useless to me without root especialy since i just figured out why I get no signal... It's a damn T-Mobile based device. It's doesn't say this ANYWHERE on the box or documentation. I should have researched it first as I usually do, but I got too excited by the idea of a droid for $20. I thought, at least if it doesn't work, it will be a toy for my 5 year old... But even he will want to install more than 1 teeny app LOL

With a custom 4.2 or later rom and good signal this thing would be.... OK... not great, but not too bad either. It isn't all that slow as I was afraid. Kit Kat might be great on it

Will a root method from any other ZTE devices work for the Midnight? I read that it might possible be the same as the ZTE Concord from t-mobile, but I tried a root method for it using a jcase update.zip, but it did not work. I'm at a loss. I've never had this much trouble getting one rooted. Apparently this device just wasn't popular enough
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wireproof:
I tried the root method for the T-Mobile branded version of the phone... I have the NET10 GSM version.. Nothing seems to be working either. Not even Gingerbreak... This is a freaking NET10 phone... And Kit Kat would be nice on this phone! 800 mhz processor and 512MB RAM so it should work well.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleepycloud:
I just bought this phone too. It comes with CM 2.3.7 installed on it. I"m wanting a KitKat ROM. I'm hoping my by Wambo_Bomb will compile a version of his BlakAndroid for the ZTE Midnight. I've asked him to do so. He said he needs the modules an Kernel info to do it. If he does come through for me, I will share with everyone.

ROOTED!!!

I just wanted to come back and let you guys know: After A few days and much frustration, I tried Kingoapp.com again and it worked flawlessly on the first try, so now I'm rooted and able to run root apps on my rooted stock rom. Now does anyone know of a way to get a custom recovery on this phone? And if there are any cutom roms available yet? If your friend does compile a rom, I'd be happy to help with testing.

Mine is now rooted, so let me know if you need me to dig out any files and send them to you. I can't make a full nandroid yet, but I can get in there with FTP or adb and hopefully get anything you need

---------- Post added at 10:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------

Try Kingoapp again. The server issue appears to be fixed. I did try from a fresh clean install of Win8, but I had tried that before and it stalled at installing drivers, so maybe had nothing to do with it. I simply connected the phone, installed drivers from internal memory (appeared as "CD-ROM in Win8), enabled development mode, then ran Kingoapp and it worked flawlessly. Good luck. The more people we get rooted, the better the custom ROMS will become I hope ;)

Guys,

Taking my Three UK SGS4 with me to Romania in a few weeks for work, I'm getting a Romanian Vodafone simcard once I get there, today I tried to unlock it but it wont work. these are the steps I followed.

1. *#0011#

2. Menu button then back

3. Menu button, Key input 1, ok

And it does nothing at all :(

I'm running United Kingdom BTU 19505XXUEMKF 4.3
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Painman1963:
The software you are on now does not allow that method of unlocking anymore. I am with Three Uk and paid about £15 to get it officially unlocked. It all depends on how desperate you are to be able to use it.

Don't leave it too long though as they make you wait about 2 weeks. Good luck
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrewJB88:
Damn thought that would be the case. I applied on there website to get an unlock code this morning just in case.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andy1weir:
there is sites you can use online, i used one only cost 12 quid and i had code within an hour

theres also apps you can download from pay store that can unlock but you do have to pay also
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrewJB88:
Cheers all,

Contacted Three, they sent me the unlock code for free.

Popped in a O2 simcard and well... it works.

Does that mean when I put the Romanian Vodafone simcard in aswell that should work?

Only thing I can think of is when I got the phone it had Three firmware on it and I flashed the BTU firmware onto it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andy1weir:
yeah once its unlocked it should be compatible with any sim
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrewJB88:
I need to reword that.

When I put the O2 simcard in, it never asked me for the unlock code.

hi

i brought my HOX around october 2013 time, i brought it refurbished off ebay.

about a month after, it started to get sim card errors, such as no sim inserted or no signal when everyone else had signal(i know its no the sim card), ever since then its been getting worse, now about 2-3 or even more, times per day it will just randomly shut off, if i play a game, listen to music etc, it also does this when i have no signal. after i turn it back on, it will just turn off again, the only way to prevent this is to remove the sim card tray then push it back in about 3 minutes later.

is anyone having or has had this problem?

thanks for helping me
[HTC One X] lukes91:
hi! no, never had such an issue... are the sim card electric contacts oxidized?
[HTC One X] taylud:
i dont think, they dont look it, ive only had the sim for about 3-4 months

stock rom, kernel and recovery?

[HTC One X] lukes91:
have you tried to hard reset your hox?
[HTC One X] taylud:
no, ill try that later
[HTC One X] lukes91:
ok, if it doesn't fix i would send it to assistance... or try to root it and flash a custom rom/kernel, but this way you loose warranty... the choice is up to you :)
[HTC One X] taylud:
ok thanks, the only problem is i brought it refurbished off ebay, so i dont know if it has any warranty left
[HTC One X] lukes91:
if there is no warranty anymore i suggest you to root and flash a custom rom/kernel...
[HTC One X] taylud:
ok will that sort it, what if its a hardware issue
[HTC One X] Kahun:
Alright, I don't know if I will be much help here. The thing about HTC One X especially my one after I messed up my battery by playing games on my phone and watching movies while it was on charge. After that it used to randomly shut itself down around 40% then turn itself on and it did it multiple times. I reckon it is a battery related issue. I would but a new battery preferably from the HOX+ which is a 2040mah battery bigger than the HOX one 1800mah. After I replaced my battery everything has been fine.
[HTC One X] lukes91:

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lakyboss:
So, I just got a Moto G from Amazon UK and it updated to Kitkat so I decided to root it.

I unlocked the bootloader but when I try to flash CWM, it doesn't flash and it goes to stock recovery.

Also, when I select Recovery from the bootloader, it just restarts and boots in Android.

Only way I have been able to boot into recovery is by enabling USB debugging and typing adb reboot recovery.

I have tried via MotoTool from the forum also, but it doesn't work.

BTW.: When I enter fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, I get a message saying: "target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes"

The message in the bootloader says "Mismatched partition size (recovery)"

EDIT: Nevermind, solved it! It seems that when you are in the bootloader, you have to press volume down and then volume up to enter recovery. I didn't know that.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yekollu:
I have the same problem, could you please tell me in which order to press the keys??
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lakyboss:
After flashing recovery, restart the bootloader by typing fastboot reboot-bootloader, and then press vol down once, and volume up after that.

You should be booting into recovery.

I flashed CWM, by the way.

Clearly you did not bother to click on the links in the OP...

There have been a few successful ports of just the Recents set up from Sense 4 to CM based roms. Involves editing the systemui and a couple other things, I believe. Would most likely be rom specific.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
no, i did click your link. you cant get sense on a nexus 5. there are no successful ports of sense on a nexus 5, period. you can get sense-like apps on the n5, just not sense. its not rom based, its phone based. you would need the drivers, the framework, among other things. if this was possible, we would have sense based roms on the nexus 5. but guess what, there arent any.

to quote from the link posted in the op..

"This mod changes the Multitasking or Recent Apps UI to that of Sense 4.0"
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Not trying to be a jerk or whatever, but seriously, read the link to the thread in the OP. Clearly it is for CM 10.1. I also have seen this ported to other CM based roms, mostly CM 9. The Sense STYLE multitasking doesn't have as much to do with the Sense framework, apps, system, etc as you would think. This mod is done from modding the SystemUI.apk and maybe framework-res.apk, though can't remember.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UncleRipper:
This is what I think...

So is it possible?

And it changes so much by CM 10.1 to CM 11?

Not sure if you know this, but if you are just looking for something "different" then there are some apps in the Play Store like:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mohammad.adib.switchr - Pretty highly regarded

or check this out:

http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/android-app-switcher/

I personally use SwipePad as it not only can do recent apps, but favorites, shortcuts, contacts, widgets, etc. Some of those need an additional add-on app, but it's one of the apps that I don't want to do without because I can access my favorite apps or whatever from any screen, even the lockscreen if you have a custom one (does not work with stock lockscreens).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Its not quite the same but definitely +1 for switchr.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Well, in the OP it was just mentioned they were looking for something different and it seemed like the Sense style (or really WebOS style) caught their eye. Due to the time and effort involved in making that project happen, if you aren't much into modifying code, then the other options might be a suitable alternative.

On a side note: RootSU, can I PM you about something or possibly add you in Hangouts? Nothing important just wanted permission since you don't answer queries typically via PM, so your signature says.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Very nice of you to ask.

Yes go ahead. The PM rule is to stop people PMimg me "I bricked my phone please help" and the such like.

I'm actually just going to bed now though (late already) so it will be tomorrow before I read it if thats ok?

To use the unlock code, T-Mobile Sim is in the phone, boot it up, a menu asking for unlock code, type code, after a few seconds a message verifying network unlock replaces the code box. It's immediate, because the unlock code is stored in the phone.

You should verify the IEMI number under the battery -- that's what they need to retrieve the code from their database.
