Do you have to run linux to do this? I have been searching for a way to root my ZTE z777 and it seems like only way is to push files in with ADB manually but i am on windows vista. Have everything ready and have been doing tons of research but im just not sure exactly.

NVM sry for bumping DEAD thread..... Just read the last post on last page.. =( your probably right, DAMN You cricket!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] N'ayam Amarsh'e:
Well, I am giving support for the thread now, You can't say It's completely dead.

As for the Windows Vista, Everything will work fine, as long as you have correct tools and drivers installed.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] caby503:
Right on, Well I think i have come to the conclusion that my cricket ZTE z777 v1.5.8 is un-rootable, Due to the patched kernel,

I have tried EVERY method you can think of,

Framaroot, Kingo Root, One Click Root, Root Master, Vroot/iRoot, SRSRoot

Manually pushing, SRSroot, Every automated system and every thread you can find regarding rooting this model.

I am starting to think that it is impossible to root the ZTE z777 without downgrading operating systems versions or running a custom ROM and that cant be done without root.

Only thing i can achieve with my phone is moving default storage from internal on the phone to the SD card by default.

EDIT- and before you say i need correct drivers, I have tripple checked my double check of the correct drivers, I also have the correct version of android SDK installed and updated also have correct version of ADB, (i know this is right because i just successfully rooted my wifes phone (motorola atrix 2) With motofail and superuser and ADB pushing. So incorrect drivers are not possible. also running windows vista.

Root Method Not Working

Hi guys

It is impossible to root modern android phones (with locked bootloader) with this method. Yes, you can push the files (su and busybox) and Superuser apk to /data/local/tmp using adb but you cannot have access to them or system file (read-only in unrooted phones) in Nautilus. Therefore, there is no way of copying them to /system/xbin or /system/app.

Guys, do give up on this method UNLESS OP can advise otherwise.

Guys, this method is a bull crap and from definition of how Android operates it simply cant work.

More over, in method 2 author encourages you to download piece of code that is 5 years old :)

Don`t be stupid and just ignore this nonsense thread..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
OK. This thread is over a year old. Much has changed in that time. So yes, this may not apply to newer devices or Android versions....but at one time it seemed to work. And some devices stuck on older Android versions could possibly still benefit from it.

And yes, since it was written, some newer and easier methods may have been introduced.

But... No need to bash the thread because of this. Again, it's a year old.

The smh here.... Is bad mouthing an older thread because it may not be relevant now. There's thousands of threads that may be outdated now.... It's up to members to do their homework and decide what might or might not work for them.

So please, drop the negative posting here. Realize this is over a year old, and at one time was probably very valid.

Enough bashing the old thread please.

Thanks!

Rooting

Hey guys,

Just having an Xperia SP, and something horrible must have happened but nothing could root my phone. :D I want to flash stock .ftf file, i need root. So: Towelroot: when pressing make it rain button nothing happens and after 5s the screen begins to fade (like 3s time) and immediately after being all black the SONY logo appears and boots back. kingoroot cant root my phone, neither can rootgenius, framaroot or z4root. And i really want to know now, what the hell is happening. Shall i make you a vid and post a link here of the screen problem? Because this phone has one more problem, it cant run more than a few secs on battery before it restarts (that means still a lot of power) and ends a bootloop. When you plug it in, it boots and you can use it.

Thanks for any help,

Hotelix

What i do is put the SP in flashmode and flash the ftf, gets stuck on the last point (of the log) and doesnt do anything. Was like that for eternity (30min) doing nothing.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ondrejvaroscak:
First of all I would concentrate on solving the Flashtool FTF problem, because it can signalize that something is wrong with Bootloader. The best thing you can do it, while running system, press POWER OFF and VolUP buttons so the phone switches completely off. Download the FTF for Xperia SP using XperiFirm (part of Flashtool), first flash version 12.0.A.1.211/R2A - Internal/StoreFront as it should be initial complete buld with Bootloader/TA. Then Flash 12.1.A.1.207/R9B of Germany-Telekom.DE as it is the latest official build. In both flashing procedures make sure ALL wipes are CHECKED and ALL EXCLUDES are UNCHECKED. Also check "No final verification" before flashing.

After that you should have no issues flashing anything else. If yes, then you flash storage may be corrupt which may be sign of your phone goes to heaven.

As for rooting, I would stick with http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2783885 instead of just trying every universal method available in Flashtool or with KingRoot.
