Right there with you all

This phone is my daily driver for the time being thanks to the interaction between the law of gravity and my Nexus 5. I am by no means a dev, but I feel the pain along with everybody else on this thread and wanted to see if there was anything I could do to chip in to the cause.

Here are the specs (there was a system update that ran before I started looking at this issue…oops!)

Model Z830

Android 4.4.2

Baseband version P892A12.H02

Kernel Version 3.4.0-g9b6969a-00440-g86d908e

zte-kernel@Zdroid-SMT

Build Number Z830V1.0.0B14

Hardware Version wwuA

Went in to USB settings and selected "install driver".

Ejected, selected MTP mode and enabled USB debugging.

The phone saw a RSA fingerprint provided by the computer, which I allowed.

This mounts the internal and external SD card areas to the PC only (not the device root).

So for the time being I was kind of stuck. I am afraid of bricking this thing right now…but I decided to run through the calisthenics… Towelroot, Saferoot, Root Genius and Framaroot didn’t get it.

I also tried encrypting sd1 to force it to write to the external card with no luck (that sounded like an elegant solution…wish it worked on this one).

I mucked with it for probably about three hours. That’s probably three hours more than I should have. :)

It’s pretty obvious that they lock down the SD card on this thing, which is really back asswards considering that it is listed as a feature of the device.

I’ll keep an eye on this thread, and if I have time I’ll dig in to it more…but I sure hope that nobody is holding their breath on me trying to root this thing.

Any updates on this? I have 2 of these phones and would like to get them rooted.

So sick and tired of seeing that there is not enough space, want to be able to App2SD.

If I can be of any assistance in helping find a way on rooting this device, let me know.
[General Questions and Answers] FrogProgrammer:
Sorry People

But ZTE has no plans on allowing any sort of changes to the restrictions to this phone.

They know EXACTLY how they packaged this phone and did not want anyone to use it to replace their much more expensive phones (which it would be more than fully capable of doing if the bloatware was removed and the App2SD was enabled.)

Absolutely no downloads, updates, or support is available from ZTE website and I've searched for about a month know a few days a week for an hour or two each time and I

seriously

doubt that there is any real interest in breaking into this phone.

:(

Guess I'm waiting until I get my LCD fixed on my Note 3.

The phone itself is great, just don't expect to be able to load more than a few apps on it at any given time.

I've supposedly gotten root with KingRoot. ES File Explorer even thinks it can mount the root folders as writeable.

I was able to get temp root with Kingroot but doesn't stick after reboot. Today I got root to stick by using Flashify to flash superuser zip (http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu). I then deleted Kingroot apps. I was able to uninstall some ATT apps but not google apps. I tried SD Card Fix but didn't work and still can't change/mount r/w in root explorer.

This method worked and I was able to install CM12 and even had it working with Tmobile sim card. However I lost touch ability on the phone and workaround was to use OTG usb cable connected to usb mouse which renders the phone useless at this point but it was fun/hobby for me to get this far. Even after restoring stock TWRP nandroid backup touch was not working. I'm hoping somehow losing touch ability after installing TWRP is an isolated incident for me. So be warned if you try this.

History and Steps:

Not my primary phone but got it for free/discount when purchased with Moto360 at Best Buy. Paid $10(friend price, normally $20) at local shop to have it unlocked so can use on Tmobile instead of ATT but after unlock it still didn't work on Tmobile even after updating APNs.

1) http://xdaforums.com/devd...t/dl/?id=12450

Kingroot temp root successful, may need several attempts but it'll work, may need to uninstall Kingroot, reboot, install Kingroot and try again

2) After Kingroot temp root, used Flashify(playstore) to install Super User zip, then removed/uninstalled Kingroot, rebooted and perm root was successful, but mount r/w does not work and can't uninstall system/google apps

3) http://androidforums.com/threads/zte...-8-6-0.918537/

followed ZTE 970 link and installed TWRP apk and used Flashify to boot into TWRP recovery....but lost touch ability and couldn't access TWRP menus. Tried OTG usb dongle connecting to usb mouse and was able to access TWRP menus.

4) Installed CM12 successfully and it even worked with Tmobile sim card (could be because I had it unlocked already)

[General Questions and Answers] rlridgeway:
Thank you for the in depth reply. It took a lot of time and effort.

Unfortunately I probably will not try this method, since this is my only phone and cannot risk losing touch ability. If you have any progrees resoving the touch issue, plus ability to delete in-stalled apps, I may try it. Please keep me informed. Thanks again.

Guys I got Perm ROOT!

[General Questions and Answers] rlridgeway:
How did you do this? Did you have any of the issues that pc2828 had?
[General Questions and Answers] Nitrous_Fox:
Perm Root

Ok, Here is a break down of how to get SuperSU into flash. Still can't seem to get R/W off the system DIRECTORY though (delete bloatware). If some cares to Chime in on how to get S-OFF that may be the key to get into the system directory.

I started tinkering with king root and kingo Root. As others have mentioned in this thread. I was able to get something that resembled root but this phone is still locked down somehow.

I Don't know if that is relevant information though. You may need to get that temp root and maybe not. I dunno if I can attribute that to my success so far.

Well without further rambling here is what you need:

Temp root?

USB Mouse for your phone.

USB cable for PC

This ---> TWRP File: ("https:// www mediafire com/?smsymhdzvp6qj55")

(It's Designed for the ZMAX which is why touch doesn't work and need for the mouse)

And This SU Update file ---> ("https://download chainfire eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip")

I started by playing with temp root(worked sometimes and not others), then I found the ZTE ZMAX (Android 4+) TWRP file. I downloaded (from my PC) and put the twrp APK into my sd card download folder and installed it. At this point I had already downloaded, Renamed, and put SU.zip on my SD card also. Dunno if the temp root had any help in that process or not. But, it allowed me to install the twrp custom recovery. Once I got the TWRP recovery flashed I booted into it (Power + Volume Up) and then realized that the touch doesn't work (only in the recovery section). Busted out the trusty usb mouse to fix that problem. Then it's as simple as selecting Install > navigating to SD Card/Download and selecting SU.zip and clicking swipe to flash! Once successful click reboot and enjoy SuperSU! P.S. you need to re-add the periods in the above urls because XDA wouldn't let a noob post links. Oh! and one more thing, you don't loose touch on the phone when fully booted just under TWRP recovery. The factory recovery didn't have touch either so no biggie right?

Now that I'm able to flash stuff from TWRP (thanks Team Win!!!) I need someone to help make a custom unlocked bootloader for this phone or some other work around to get this pesky S-On problem solved. I have tried the "fastboot oem unlock" command with no success.
[General Questions and Answers] rlridgeway:
Thanks Nitirous_Fox.

Are you able to store and use Apps to the SD card now?
[General Questions and Answers] Nitrous_Fox:
SD

Yes, I performed the "kitkat fix" by modifying my platform.xml and re-flashing it to the system directory with twrp, that unlocked my EXT SD-Card which allowed me to use AppstoSD or Links2Sd. I now have a 16gb open for use and have already installed a couple of my favorite larger games that I was previously only able to use on my tablet. This was the main purpose for rooting as we all know the compel only has 1gb user room left after the bloat.
[General Questions and Answers] rlridgeway:
Thanks for the response although this fix may be above my pay grade.

[General Questions and Answers] Takamoshi:
Just for a clarification. YES you do need to be temp rooted. You will have to use KINGO ROOT. Not king root it will not work. an otg is needed as stated
[General Questions and Answers] Takamoshi:
Could you please elaborate on how you got this to work. I've been trying and i apparently do have the fixed in stalled but i am not able to install any apps on the sdcard or move them :/
[General Questions and Answers] Pierre Monteux:
I've been playing around with this as well. King root gets temp root access sometimes, Kingo, got it on the first try for me. Then i rebooted to see if it was indeed still temp root, lost it, and it took more than one attempt at Kingo root to get temp root back. (I used Kingo from the PC, King root sometimes failed from the pc and sometimes from its app.)

Followed the steps from Nitrous Fox (many thanks). I have root now.

I'm a bit confused though. I can't get system apps to uninstall. Programs (like app2sd) complain that there isn't root access when trying to convert system apps to user apps, and silently fail when trying to uninstall system apps. Furthermore, I still cannot get apps to install to the sd card.

Anybody else have any luck?

Custom Rom

Hello Everyone! After we finally got root and custom recovery on this phone I started messing with custom roms. You'll be happy to hear I got the most current version CM13 working! However there are some bugs I need to iron out before I can release a twrp recovery for it. First and foremost is the touch screen. How do the drivers work in android? are the Libraries/modules from the stock rom what I need or is it in the kernel? I'm excellent with computers and windows, which has got me this far. However, I'll be the first to admit I know very little about linux and android. I get the feeling that the libraries are a little like .dll files and APKs are .exe equivalent. Basically, I need to know what to copy/modify to get the touch interface working agian in "laymans terms" because of limited exp with android. :fingers-crossed:
[General Questions and Answers] Pierre Monteux:
Replying early since I'm short on time. No, I don't know how the drivers work, but given how promising that sounds I'm willing to do significant research. Is the touchscreen working in cyanogen mod, but not in twrp (as it is on my phone as well) or not working on both?

Were you able to back up the stock recovery and ROM before trying that out? If you did could you post those images as well?

I'll respond back more later today.
[General Questions and Answers] Nitrous_Fox:
If I run kitkat (4.4.2 Stock Rom + SU) the touch will work in the OS yes. <--- I do have a twrp backup of this. TWRP touch has never worked for me. If I run Marshmello (6.01 - Rooted CM13) the Touchscreen does not work in OS but will boot-up with wifi so far, gunna try g-apps and see if I can find something on the app store to help with touch issue.
[General Questions and Answers] Pierre Monteux:
I'm trying to build a stock android ROM myself now. Could you share the vendor files you used for the cm13 build?

Also, if you have a backup of the stock recovery I'd really appreciate a link, I didn't know how to back it up when I flashed twr on the phone.

Hello everyone, I just got my Xperia Z1 delivered, and noticed some weird noise when taking pictures with the front facing camera. Is it normal?. Have anybody experienced something similar?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
It's normal to have noise in low light conditions like yours in this picture.

It is because camera pushing ISO settings to make picture more lighter.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hermantje:
It's because you're in the viewfinder. The viewfinder has what, at least 30 frames per second? The image for the viewfinder has to be both made light enough to see in dark areas and show images 1/30th of a second. The only way to achieve this is by increasing the ISO to insane amounts, causing noise like this. Once you take a picture though, the camera can take more time for an exposure and the ISO is lowered, decreasing the noise in the actual image you're taking.

You're welcome :cyclops:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidfelipeb:
Thank you very much for your answers. I understand, but, is this normal when using Snapchat?, I mean,Snapchat has its own camera app, and I'm still getting tons of noise in not so low light conditions. In the other hand, my Moto G is giving me not brilliant but a lot less of noise when using the Snapchat camera in the same light conditions. I'm attaching both captures. Thank you in advance for your answers.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aoi_sora9x:
Unlocked bootloader, loss of TA partition. it's not normal to have that much digital noise in your photos.

So, what do you recommend me to do? should I ask for the warranty? damn I'm so unlucky...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] gina$zanboti:
Since updating to Kitkat 4.4 I've lost the ability to sync files and folders on my MicroSD card.

There is a work around provided by the dropsync developers where you put your files in the /Android/data/com.ttxapps.dropsync/files folder on your microSD card and you're supposed to be able to sync there. However I don't have the 'com.ttxapps.dropsync/files' folder in my microSD card. In fact there is nothing in there that appears to be associated with dropsync. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling dropsync to see if those folders would be generated but they were not.

So I tried creating those folders in there myself and dropping my folders and files to be synced in there as well. When I tried to set the sync settings through dropsync it says that those folders cannot be two-way synced.

Does anyone have some advice for me? I really don't want to root because I don't want to void my warranty, but if there is absolutely no other way of resolving this issue that I may end up doing so.

Does anyone think android will change their minds about this and let apps write to the microSD card in a later update?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] buhohitr:
Did you used a system file manager app to create the folder (file manager app build in with the O/S)? you can't create with a third party file manager. Give it a try. If that's not working then you need....ROOT!!!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] gina$zanboti:
I used the "My Files" app which was already installed on the device. I'm pretty sure it's androids thing.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] buhohitr:
yep that's the system file manager. Tell you the truth, if your sync app already installed before you upgrade then you may have a chance, but if you install the app after the 4.4 upgrade then, most likely it's not going to work...just my observation.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] gina$zanboti:
It was installed and set up to sync all my files before the upgrade. It was working perfectly until I updated to Kitkat. Now it's all gone to hell and I'm about ready to root. This irritates me so much. :mad:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] buhohitr:
BTW, what model of your device?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] gina$zanboti:
SM-P600. It's the 16gb wifi.

Would downgrading my firmware void my warranty?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] buhohitr:
With the p600, your warranty will be voided if you try to root and you can't not downgrade.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] gina$zanboti:

Hello Eveyone

I've been having a really strange problem (as I guess it's a problem): my music player's sound output when using a headset is really quite, like 50% of what I had on my iPhone, even when the I'm at max volume. The problem is the same when I use skype, twitch, whatever app I could use. The speakers are working fine, so I guess it's a headset connection problem.

I've used the headset given with my Huawei P7-L10 but also my beats Solo HD and the result is still the same.

Has anyone an idea or a solution to my problem?

thanks everyone

when you use the headphones you get a mesage on the screen saying that the music level could be dangerous but if you accept you can continue turning up the volume
