friend could create a tutorial?
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Dodonpa:
Well it works for me, well in part: (sorry for my english)

I follow this 3 option showed for paul:

- Go to about phone tap on build really fast unlock developer options enable OEM unlock

- Go to device admin activate KingRoot.

- And here was the kicker open dialer type *#*#759#*#" to open Rlz debugger and turn on OEM unlockode

1- First i make all the option but with Kingroot always failed to root the phone, only one time the phone restart but failed to root. (same with a blu music 2)

2- after that i try with

Kingo

root and works at the first time. (i try with a Blu Music 2 and works too)

i check with rootcheker and its working :)

The only doubt i have is if i can delete the app of kingroot in my phone

[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] ssenemosewa:
Neither one works for me, even with OEM Mode turned on in Rlz Debug UI and OEM unlock activated in Developer options. Details follow:

KingRoot reports no rooting strategy available. Besides installing additional junk utilities on my phone, that's all it does. I dumped it and will NEVER go near it again because of all that extra, invasive junk. Yes, it was the "official" app right from their website.

KingoRoot gets to 90% and reboots the phone. That's it. It does not appear in my list of available device administrators. KingRoot did appear in the list when I had it installed and it mentioned that it wanted to have controls over reboots...so maybe that's what KingoRoot needs to actually succeed. But, as I said, it doesn't even appear in the list of available device administrators. So, that's out.

Running Z812V1.0.0B20, by the way.

Successfully rooted B15 with kingo root.After following these instructions.yay!
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Tzippy81:
THANK YOU! Finally, worked for me!

Didn't work with the KingoRoot app, but I used the PC method. Took several times, eventually - rooted.

BUT: Although root checker says I'm rooted, some of the system apps were failed to be removed, either by Kingo Super User, or by system app remover. Any idea how to do that?

My build is B20.

Update: That was just a temporary root. Tried to reboot, had to root again :(

I guess we do need to unlock the bootloader here.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Rotpot09:
Okay if its a genuine full root u should be able to install chainfire supersu, update binaries and remove kingoroot kingroot app, right? And Link2sd or a similar app should also be able to remove or freeze system apps. If the root is full genuine root.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Dethfull:
Try RootDashi.apk this is chinese, a baidu rival. With SuperuserPro latest, try diferent versions of the same app, this rooted all they said "is imposible root"

This app is not like kingroot (that haves posibility to BRICK THE MOBILE if fails)

If RootDashi fails, simply failed, and no more troubles.

Try it!

You can search by package name too:

com.zhiqupk.root.apk

:cool:
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Tzippy81:
Try my method: I used KingoRoot for PC. 1st time said it was rooted and it was not, but tried several more times and eventually it worked. I have the same build as yours.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] bombo_b:
I spoke too fast. Root doesnt stay at reboot. I tried to update su binary with supersu when it had temp root but it failed. At least we have temp root.Way to go

Hello anybody Root ZTE maven z812 ??? B15
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] madmrt:
OK so I am having a non root problem with my zte maven and I'm asking here cause it's the only place I can find this phone on the problem is with data I went to the at&t store and they said that it would not work on my zte maven I was wondering if that is actually true or if you if there is a way to use data I have the B19 version on my zte maven idk if that is the problem or not cause I need data on my phone
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Rotpot09:
If you want cellular data you have to pay for it in your phone plan. They have one prepaid option that has no data allotment and you have to use WiFi. If your local network isn't 4glte you would still have 3g data available. I think they meant your phone plan doesn't allow for data or you were dealing with an idiot at at&t. Just change your phone plan when your balance is about to expire so you don't lose your current balance but check with them about that because changing plans is tricky.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] madmrt:
I have data and 4g on my phone it's just when I turn it on nothing happens and I the people at at&t said that it won't work but I just wanted to know if there was a way to get it to work idk why it won't work it's turn on on my phone so it should work that's what I need help with
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] ssenemosewa:
Have you tried a factory reset? If it still doesn't work after that and you do indeed have a plan with data then the phone is likely defective.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] madmrt:
I just factory restored the phone and it still won't work with data so there most likely is a defect in the phone
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Rotpot09:
Wouldn't surprise me. My maven battery only has 1400mah capacity instead of 2100mah. Not exactly the greatest quality from zte. And at&t has horrible customer service so good luck if you try to get it replaced
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] madmrt:
when i restore the phone it has the part where it said activating cellular services i let that finish and it said that it could not activate and that data would not work is there a way to fix this

---------- Post added at 04:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 AM ----------

do you think if i get my sim card replaced that will fix the problem i am having with the data not activating when setting up the phone
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] ssenemosewa:
It's certainly possible that the Sim card is bad and is causing the problem.

Honestly though, this is something that I would have resolved in about 5 minutes by visiting the AT&T store.

If you're paying for a service in your plan and can't access it, it's in their best interest to help you, lest you cancel and go elsewhere. If they won't help at a particular location, try another.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] HenryGong:
Does anyone have the full install package for this phone? I made a mistake and destroy the whole operating system.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] madmrt:
So when your activating the phone after a restore there is a screen that said activating cellular services and it said activation failed try again in a minute or restart your phone if it continues to happen then it said you can skip it but activate it later in system settings and I don't have data until I activate it but I can't find where in system settings I need to go to find it again to active data
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] thatguystrife:
Hey Madmrt, I had the same kinda issue. The SIM worked fine for calls, but I was stuck with a 4G icon weither data was on or off. The guy at the store couldn't figure it out either. What worked for me was to look up my provider's APN info, and make a new one instead of the default APN's. Tada, LTE data !

Hope it works for you too.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] madmrt:
I put the at&t APN settings in and it didn't work idk if I put the wrong setting or what
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Rotpot09:
You need to go to the at&t store and have them do the reset then verify the settings. If it still doesn't work and you are paying for data ask for a new Sim card or even a replacement phone. If you've paid for data it has to be possible for you to use it, that's their obligation.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] madmrt:
Has anyone found a way to root this phone yet?
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] 0134340:
Looks like the Maven is vulnerable to quadroot. I'm not sure if it'll be a permanent root, I guess that's both good news and bad news for us wanting to root.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] linuxftw:
Confirmed rooted!!!!!!!

I just rooted my zte maven with the desktop version of kingoroot from the kingoapp site!

i verafied it with root checker and it was sucsessfull!

p.s. only the desktop version of kingoroot works. the apk version wont work.

edit: i forgot to verify that the root held through reboot. root was confirmed but when i rebooted it root was lost (temp root). but i will see if i can get it working. iv been dying to root this phone.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Rotpot09:
But can you update to chainfire Supersu and does it persist after multiple reboots. There have been lots if temp rooting with kingoroot but it doesn't hold after rebooting. Root checkers don't matter, persistence does.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] cukoobajube:
Zte maven temp. Root

I can achieve working temporary root on this phone by installing SuperSu and running Kingroot through a few root attempts. How do I make it permanent?
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] ssenemosewa:
I really wish there was a way for the mods to insert a post at the beginning of the thread so we could keep track of all the rooting strategies, their results, what's been tried, etc.

Seems like every other day someone comes along exclaiming, "Eureka! I've done it! I've rooted it!" only to realize afterwards that it doesn't persist through a reboot. Rinse, repeat.

Enough already.

[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] ssenemosewa:
Stopped watching as soon as I saw KingRoot mentioned. It doesn't work and installs many extra junk apps which are a pain to remove.

Please, PLEASE search the thread before announcing your latest discovery that promises to permanently root this device. Chances are it's been announced many times before and shown to be ineffective each of those times. And if it involves KINGROOT, forget it altogether.

ZTE Maven Rooted RE

I'll be posting a startup script modification soon, so you can bypass the bootloader. In the meantime, you'll need kingoroot v3.1, make sure installed on both PC and device, have Superuser preinstalled, and get 1 or 2 programs that require root access, I used ROM Toolbox Pro, and Root File Manager. Make sure 1 of the 2 has a script editing ability. You'll need to temp root it, insert bootloader bypass script into startup script, (directions to follow). As for the prescript editing festivities, run kingoroot a couple time on your phone, (2-3), after that run on pc, should take 1 -3 attempts to unlock. Once rooted, get everything with SU ability listed, and get ready to edit your startup script. *****V3.2 did nothing for my phone, make sure you use V3.1 for Kingoroot.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] andresh-5:
brother that you put root can be made permanent?
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] subzero1991:
It doesn't stick, always reset, anyone have a stock kernel for the Maven, or know where I can get one. This is a bigger pain than Samsung's, I think I'd rather give CPR to a bricked GT-P1010 that's plugged in. My buddy is helping with the coding, but I don't have a stock kernel to send.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] subzero1991:

[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] powbam:
Well you can count me among those rooting for ya. I just got the Maven a couple days ago because unfortunately I needed a cheap mobile solution.

It's not a bad phone for the price except for the bloat but I am definitely addicted to my root capabilities. Hate being restricted with my tech.

So, I am definitely "rooting" for whatever you're concocting.

Thank you and best of luck for all our sakes.

(Also, for the kernel I have read this whole thread and I coulda sworn someone had a link to it. I'll try to find it as soon as I can)
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Scrythe:
I think this may be the thing you're looking for:

http://opensource.ztedevice.com/

Under the drop downs for "Smart Phones" and "ZTE Z812 Lollipop Kernel(3.10.x)" closer to the bottom of the list, as there's a lot to scroll through.

After that you should get a link to the source code, which would then prompt you to agree a standard CYA Legal Agreement. The file is ~120MB.

Hope this helps.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] faxanidu:
Send it my way I have 2 mavens. Also we have no remount ability even with temp root. The flag is set to not let it, or execute bash scripts. Once I find a way around that this will make it much easier.

EDIT: also fyi busybox is built into this phone.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Bateluer:
Stupid question guys. I have a ZTE Maven, which used to be a secondary AT&T phone since TMO service was nonexistent at a previous job. Now, its a SIM-less toy I keep around because its worthless to sell when a new one is 20 bucks. Does it need an active SIM to download the official OTAs? Mine's build ends in B15, and according to AT&T's site, its gotten at least 2 OTAs to B19 and the current B20. Yet, when I search for updates, it finds none and sets a 24hr cool down.

Edit - URL to AT&T's update page

https://www.att.com/devicehowto/tut...id/stepbystep_KB427006?make=ZTE&model=ZTEZ812
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] ssenemosewa:
At first, I was going to say that it shouldn't. But after thinking about it for a while, it's certainly possible that it is indeed a requirement. Here's my reasoning for that conclusion:

My phone is using the AT&T's branded firmware ("software"). Without a registered SIM (on AT&T's network), there's no practical way to verify that the firmware update will match my carrier and any of their possible...customizations. So, rather than risk bricking the phone with a mismatched update, they require an active/registered SIM for confirmation.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Bateluer:
I'd rather not reactivate my AT&T Prepaid line just for a couple security and maintenance updates, but I don't think the phone was popular enough. There's an option in the phone's update settings to search the root of the storage for an update file, if I could fine AT&T's update files that may work.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] Scytherfx:
Hey guys. I've been following this thread for a long while and I still can't believe AT&T is one-upping all of us. The ZTE Z812 (Maven) cannot be the phone that was unrootable. Locked bootloader or not, there must be at least one xda developer who can hack this phone.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] ssenemosewa:
Firmware Update

Just received OTA update to Z812V1.0.0B22 a few minutes ago.

As usual, no idea what they changed or "improved" since they don't issue changelogs...or I just haven't found where they list them. Anyone?

Operation seems faster so far. But still no clue on how to successfully root the thing to remove the bloat.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] madmrt:
It's been so long and this phone still don't have a root
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] darkensx:
what i want to know is how the phone has the option to allow oem unlock but you cant even access the bootloader to do so how is that even possible also im sure someone has discovered this already but if you hold down Vol+ and Vol- while powering on the phone goes into "Diagnostic Mode" upon connecting to a pc it shows up in device manager under ports with a COM number... whats curious is samsung devices do this for odin flashing has anyone figured out what exactly this "Diagnostic Mode" does? the device acts like one in fastboot without the screen on or fastboot recognizing it.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] darkensx:
Well for anyone interested i managed to dump aboot.img, boot.img and recovery.img they are attached i don't know if they will be useful atm (maybe to get root somehow?) but none the less here they are.. if any other dumps are needed ask and ill see what i can do. fyi just rename attached file to Maven.7z the apk is just so i can upload it. i could not make it smaller
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] stayboogy:
on other devices, this switch changes the last bytes of the oem partition with 01 instead of 00. the whole partition is null, but this is linked somehow to a qfuse in the bootloader and the switch when enable basically changes these bytes which then tells the bootloader to allow the device to be unlocked for unsecure images.

zte has disabled this switch. it does absolutely nothing on this device. i have already changed the bytes on my oem partition on my device using the pseudo-root, dumping the partition, editing in hex, then reflashed through adb, and the phone still boots without a hitch, but unsecure images can still not be booted and the partition contents are still the same with those bytes changed to 01.

you found the bootloader with the button combo which i found earlier by looking at the strings in the aboot.

read through the last 20+ pages of the thread and that should bring you to speed lol. :cool:

all we need is someone who can disassemble the aboot completely in hex rays ida, and then someone would have to write an exploit in c that would unlock it very similar to the qfuse exploit for the moto g and x that would have to be run in pseudo-root. after this, i have images and test cm builds waiting to be booted and logcat'd already...
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] darkensx:
do we have anyone who knows how and is available to disassemble the aboot and write an exploit? also about how long on average would something like this take to do?

I had to use kingoroot not king root I ended up using the PC but it works http://www.kingoapp.com/
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] powbam:
It's a sham bub. Unless you can install SuperSu (chainfire) afterwards you have nothing. Go ahead and try running any app that absolutely requires root to function. It won't work.

But I'm sure you've figured that out by now.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] nickelbanger:

Hmm. Rather odd thing for a mod to delete.

Saying that we'll have to wait until someone more knowledgeable in these matters can get us real root is a deletable offense now is it?

[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] ssenemosewa:
Uh, I think you missed or didn't understand the "OTA" reference in my post. "OTA" stands for "Over The Air, " which is how updates are normally delivered to the phone. It's what you aren't getting because of your non-at&t sim.

[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] ssenemosewa:
Read through the thread. Many have tried, but so far, no consistent reliable method has been found.

It has beens possible to gain a temporary, "partial" root of sorts, but it doesn't survive a reboot or let you do too much.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] powbam:
Just go into apps in the settings and uninstall any updates for apps you don't want and then disable them. While it doesn't completely remove them it minimizes the impact and keeps them out of your app drawer.

Some apps may not let you disable them but the large majority you can.
[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] powbam:
You are actually hitting the disable button and they are appearing in the Disabled drawer? The only time I could see them reappearing after that is after system updates and once disabled they shouldn't appear in the Play store for updates either.

[ZTE Z7, Z7 Max, Z7 Mini] powbam:
I'll believe it when I see it. The other guy is right. Step-by-step details are pertinent since you are making claims of which noone else has been able to do.

Are you using SuperSu? Chainfire SuperSu. Not that weak, fake, kingo/king crap. In other words, did you install Chainfires and did it stick. Otherwise, can't say that I believe you have actually achieved root.

So, install SuperSu. Go thru the motions with it as it directs you. It will require reboot(s). If it's there and SuperSu prompts you upon using root apps, (try Busy box or a Mac spoofer app, for example) and you get the prompts, grant them and the apps actually work like they should then yes, you may have root. Otherwise Kingo is shamming you.
