New approach

Well i have experience writing code n have tmo version of this phone.. My idea and bear with me on this.. Diskpart while connected to phone to locate & list all applicable files copy the volume and play with the coding in a sandbox.. More or less rewriting the boot.img & boot code to call eng/dev access to unlock the bootloader when n where as needed.. Of course this would require andriod emulation similar to Bluestacks.. This way no phones are bricked and also opens the possibility of flash or even down the road complete open source OS for this and others.. Not sure if sandboxes are in use with the devs here but its worth looming into.. Btw im the sure u guys use notepad++?

[ZTE ZMAX Guides, News, & Discussion] xtremeasure:
That should work for both phones.. But looking at the timing needed may be complicated... But he does verify the ability to execute commands as system which is a big step in the right direction.... We still need Someone to put that into an apk so we can use it though

Walmart in store disappearing act

Saw about 10 cards for the Walmart version of Zmax and asked if that reflected inventory.

They said to check at desk and nice mgr came and saw the cards and took the sku after hearing my tale of Tmobile and Metro . She rang order and she was surprised as system just sat there. Didnt reject it as out of stock or no longer available but didnt ask for serial number as per normal sale. She wanted to know if this was a black ops deal :) Conspiracy theorists have at it.

[ZTE ZMAX Guides, News, & Discussion] klobster:

this phone puts the F6 in THE GROUND!! .....and it's treated like a unwanted step child with birth defects.............HOLY COW !!!!!!

Ok, to clarify, he said that, if you go to the metro warranty store and told them that the Zmax is glitchy or anything, they will exchange it for a S4.

It's a phone call away for the non-believers..
[ZTE ZMAX Guides, News, & Discussion] klobster:
More than that, since they pulled the product, you likely don't have to have a reason at all. Simply saying you aren't comfortable continuing to use a phone they aren't comfortable selling should be enough. If it's true. That being said, what I'd like to know is if they are straight replacing it, or if they are charging a swap fee, or something to that effect.

Interesting. I have a T-Mo ZMAX which has a screen that is going bad. Wonder if I can get a different phone because of this.....

[ZTE ZMAX Guides, News, & Discussion] InFaMouZz:
doesn't make sense... are they shipping it out in two business days because it is back ordered or will they ship you a z max within 2 business days but the phone is back ordered and it might take longer?
[ZTE ZMAX Guides, News, & Discussion] Ra.burt86:
I am without a clue here. Honestly, I hope I can get a S4 or another rootable phone. I truly miss SlimRom.

[ZTE ZMAX Guides, News, & Discussion] InFaMouZz:
dude, same boat man. I only got this phone because I wanted a larger screen from my HTC One M7. I'm so sick and tired of not having root, I'm ready to throw this phone at the wall. lol I'm on EIP with T-Mobile and honestly don't want to pay for the rest for this phone, i'd take an S4 or G2 as a replacement at this point. lol
[ZTE ZMAX Guides, News, & Discussion] Ra.burt86:
Hear ya. I may have lucked out with an actual problem with the device. Hard to say at this point, though. I can easily see them shipping me a brand new Zmax, but can also see the order not going through thus equating to me being able to get a S4 or something.

Wish me luck.. I'll do the same for you!

Also..... has anyone else experienced the issue of the screen coming on for no reason at all? This is a regular occurrence for me

I don't know where that info came from, but someone on another board who is confirmed working for Metropcs has said they will give you an Avant, NOT an S4 if you have issues with the phone.

Avant instead of S4

Got the Zmax after trying Avant and horrified at the pics in store. S4 on Sprint and not missing it. Have better moments from old LG Motion. Maybe I just got a good zmax but no flash pics at 1500 iso fine. Everything on Avant a blurry mess. To each their own but just sayin.

To call people "idiots" is a bit much man. You have to understand that the bulk of what some people have operated with over the last 4+ years has involved root.

I must be the idiot as well, because I'm hanging on and I contribute where I can but even my rope is thinning. 9x out of 10, if you are on XDA, you are that 1% of power users on the internet, and thus expect to be able to enjoy a barrage of features you have become accustomed to...
