maybe they don't have their own server

same here. i want upgrade, but in two days still unfinished download..and now i'm still downloading..i'm looking for information about it and see what i got;

Q17Why is download process slow?

It is highly recommended to use Wi-Fi instead of 3G network to download.

Download speed depends on Wi-Fi speed of internet provider. Please check Wi-Fi speed to make sure download process runs smoothly and fast.

:confused::confused::confused:

of the answer that,i know they do not care about the customer and they only blame on customer while they are damp server..

We need to get developers onto the ZMax 2 root because we all know how long the original ZMax root took. We have already figured out that all one click roots do not work with this phone, so like how the original team did, I believe we need to find a way to temp root put a custom recovery on and flash SU. Now I'm not a developer but we need to start somewhere.

Task List:

Temp Root

Recovery (For Root)

Root

Rom (Long Term Goal)

So if you are a developer, please help the ZMax 2 is a great phone.:fingers-crossed:

It's a kick a$$ little phone. It has and the biggest bang for the buck all day long: It has a 720 X 1080 HD5.5" screen, 2GB of RAM, 3000 mah "removable" battery, SD 410 (as opposed 200, 210 or 400 in that price range) and expandable micro SD for $79? Works as good on T-Mobile if you unlock it as any other T-Mobile phone would, and with LTE band 12. And the unlock is free too, just cant beat it.

Aside from not having a Super AMOLED quad HD screen and the camera not being the highest quality, it's as good as my Note 4 (for my usage). I would think there'd be tons of these floating around for some dev's to try and get root, but maybe it's just that tough a nut to crack...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] fatmikel:
Price is perfect to test now!

And its $50 All over the place too. Check SlickDeals for info. I just bought two and I would love to see it rooted soon!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gster09:
There is a root method for LG devices that involves getting the phone into download mode and then using a script to root it from there. Based on my admittedly limited experience with this phone, I think a similar approach should work.

That process is detailed on this thread, and I was able to duplicate it on my ZMax 2 almost all the way.

Step one involved pushing some files via ADB - Check!

Step two was to get into download mode. - Check! (vol + & vol - and then insert USB cable)

Step three was to figure out the port being used. Mine was COM 3 - Check!

Step four was to use the "Send_Command.exe" file to initiate the process. Check!

I got as far as getting the "#" prompt but then... Well, the script is written for LG devices with their specific partitions and directory structures. My guess/hope is that modifying this process slightly by changing the *.sh file would be enough, but I'll leave that to greater minds than mine.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] famewolf:
Ok..for the record..an older version of kingo root DOES successfully give you root...the problem is having root does NOT give you write access to /system. The emmc is still write protected. The method used to unlock many other ZTE models ( http://androidforums.com/threads/zte-write-protection-for-zmax-and-other-zte-phones.1040331/ ) does NOT work on the Z958 which is the "Zmax2" for AT&T (LOL) <-- I'm not laughing..that's the model. The z955a which is the "Zmax2 unlocked version" DOES work with the method found. Lucky us I guess..then again you can't get the unlocked zmax2 for $60 at bestbuy which seems to happen fairly regularly for the z958. It's also currently fairly easy to get the z958 unlocked.

ZTE's response when contacted regarding the locked bootloader is:

Dear Valued ZTE Customer

Thanks for contacting ZTE.

We are sorry to inform you that we do not support unlocking the bootloader and rooting the device.

We apologize for the inconvenience

Should there be further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Best Regards!

-----

Yeah thanks bunches ZTE. That email convinced me not to look at the Pro or the Axon 7 until they HAVE a working root/twrp. The reason I want the bootloader unlocked is I want to be able to install twrp and backup my phone to prevent bricking issues.

We really need a zmax2 forum so this information can be shared better.

Once you have it rooted with kingo root it will stay rooted till you reboot...take the opportunity to give yourself a semi permanent adb root shell [ http://androidforums.com/threads/semi-permanant-root-shell.1039076/ ] (not the same as gaining root but will allow you to do things like "wm density #" to see what the current dpi density is (both real dpi and "override" dpi)....I've found "wm density 260" works quite well. The default is 320.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] spiderpig1992:
I've also fought with ZTE on phone and through I'm session and they kept telling me same thing they do not assist in unlocking bootloader or root because it voids warranty once they told me that and the axon 7 was said to have unlockable bootloader I took the chance to use that as my advantage on the warranty issue and told me that it would not be bout warranty void anymore and they kept trying to beat round the bush and just kept saying we can not assist you on unlocking bootloader or gaining root do to warranty void

Zmax 2 unlocked rooting questions

Hello everybody, I have the unlocked variant of the zmax 2 , how easy is it to root this phone, is it possible? I only need temporary root anyway for a one time use, if full root is possible then touché, and also do I need a computer to do this, mines in need of a new SSD to run the OS so until I get that I have no computer access
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DkMage333:
Not sure where to put this

So, let me say that I have fully rooted the phone. I was able to figure out the partitions to the phone and extract all of them, including the boot.img and recovery.img. The bootloader is still locked as far as I know. Even though ZTE won't release the unlock code for the phone, is it possible to unlock it anyways? If so, then how. I really would like to participate in this endeavor for the community. Any feedback or help would be appreciated. I have spent almost two weeks on this phone, not bad for the money, but would love to design a custom rom for it. Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rfrayer:
Enable USB debugging

Get adb (most know how)

Type in this command through adb:

adb reboot disemmcwp

Now use the PC version of Kingo Root

After that there are methods out there for replacing kinguser with supersu (if you choose to do this be careful it may brick your phone) otherwise keep kinguser.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dogginky:
Here is the current update: Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow

Why not use the official released today. Won t let me post the link but it is on ATT today.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] logssvk:
I have bought the AT&T version and unlocked it now and using with a different sim, could anyone let me know how to get the Marshmallow update.

I used Debloater to remove the bloatware.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tejtank:
I also have the z958 (ATT Go Phone ZMax 2) that I've unlocked and using with T-Mobile.

While Root and customer ROM are unlikely, I hope we can update to recently released Marshmallow update from ATT.

From what I gathered, you can only update to Marshmallow with active ATT service through phone.

Is it possible for someone to extract the update and upload it so others can update it via SD card or something?

Hopefully phone would remain unlocked.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cxoakes:
It should be possible. I did this for an update to the original Zmax on T Mobile.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] AbitofHelpplease:
Just a follow up question, I recently bought this phone on sale, but it can't get service where I live. It's the At&T on. Did anyone ever extract the update and post it somewhere?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tejtank:
Based on what I've read - Extracting the OTA may not be possible without Root.

Here's another thread discussing similar: https://xdaforums.com/general/gener...arshmallow-t3523040/post70408006#post70408006
[Miscellaneous Android Development] LonerDarke:
But maybe someone can do a logcat in an adb shell before he update the phone. This can help to get the download's url. I had a ZTE maven and I was able to install an update this way.

Temp Root (Success)

I too think this phone is a beast locked in a cage just waiting for root to release it upon the countryside to ravage the crops and claim its right in the pantheon of rooted gods!!

Too dramatic? maybe... But every couple weeks I do a search to see if anyone has had success rooting this Z985. I have the AT&T version. I found a temp root a month back that worked, but then I had to reboot and lost the root of course. I didn't feel like doing the process to temp root again and went about checking every now and then for another person to claim victory.

I found a couple new claims; one turned out to not work, the other did succeed in rooting via adb and kingoroot PC desktop. I got the success screen on Kingoroot and after my phone finished updating apps, I checked with Root Checker Basic and was stoked to see it verify root access! Now, this write-up never mentioned it being temp root access, and it's possible the author wrote up his success story before checking one last thing... reboot.

I rebooted my ZTE Z985 and again ran the root check app. Unfortunately, it had lost root access. So, it's temporary, but even temp root is better than no root!... kinda... Anyway, if you're familiar with the term "adb" and how to paste a couple lines into the command lines there, this tutorial is really easy to handle. I'm going to go temp root it again now... :) The forum won't let me do a URL link for spam prevention, so here is the link for temp root. You'll need to replace the (dot) to make it legit:

mattcasdorph(dot)com/android/how-to-root-zte-zmax-2-z958-android-go-phone/

Point being, "Temp Root" can be crossed off the to-do list of this thread :) I'm no developer, so I'm hoping this success inspires a person with a passion for a challenge to find a permanent root for this lil' puppy.

C'mon, someone! The Z985 keeps taunting us, saying, "Nobody is smart enough to break me! You're all losers that deserve flip phones from Goodwill! Hahahahah..."

Hi

Whats the diff bw xt1068 and xt1069 ??
[G 2014 General] prathameshsd:
XT1068 : Global Dual SIM, GSM

XT1069 : Brazil Dual SIM, GSM

No you cannot install XT1069's OTA zip on XT1068. It is model specific.

Wait for someone to upload OTA zip for XT1068, else wait for official OTA release from Motorola.
[G 2014 General] srinuchry:
specifications wise digital tv is the only extra option,it seems.can you please tell me in detail
[G 2014 General] prathameshsd:
There is a device check command in the zip file that checks if (device==XT1069) then proceed, else abort. So if you try flashing this on XT1068 it will abort flashing process.
[G 2014 General] srinuchry:
do you know the process of flashing xt1069 fw on xt1068??
[G 2014 General] Vidhanth:
The device check is only in the ota, not firmware. So if you succeed in flashing xt1069 fw on 68, then the ota will install flawlessly. I wanna try this so badly but cannot since its my primary phone, and I don't wanna risk it
[G 2014 General] srinuchry:
even im trying on my primary phone only loll...what will hapen if it fails to install xt1069 fw ??
[G 2014 General] Toby0897:
if u flash any XT1069 firmware onto the XT1068 the modem wont work untill you flash an XT1068 modem onto the XT1069 firmware

so XT1068 HARDWARE + XT1069 FIRMWARE AND MODEM = NO WORKING RADIO

XT1068 HARDWARE AND MODEM + XT1069 FIRMWARE = WORKING MODEM

Can you explain the step after flashing xt1069 fw onto xt1068 in detail??

You cannot modify the contents of the official OTA zip as it is signed by Motorola. Any modification to the OTA zip will break it & fail to install.

it's xt1068 latest software for brazil and this ota is for xt 1069 brazil?

Can anyone also confirm this?:confused:
[G 2014 General] BRAiNCHiLD95:
Yes Ofcourse!

Ofcourse it can work. It needs some(minimal if not none) tweaks.. but a XT1069 fw can work on XT1068 because except for the Brazil only/Global, there is no difference between the two models.

I'm trying to download the zip file, but I'm sure [MENTION=5398534]luishr[/MENTION] will beat me to it :P kudos to him! :good:

Whatever be the case, the whole community will get to taste stock Marshmallow on Moto G (2014)

However since it seems to be the soak test build, I would not recommend it as a daily driver for "all users" just yet.. Wait for feedback from users who can test builds! :good::highfive:
[G 2014 General] luishr:
Not so sure about that anymore hahaha.

I can get the XT1069 ROM working, but it doesn't get the stagefright OTA needed before updating to M. I can find the ota for xt1068 but not xt1069. Without this update I'm not sure what I can do, I even tried to manipulate the update-script from OTA, but it gets a lot of inconsistences and mismatches. I'll see if there is anything to force the needed OTA.
[G 2014 General] JacobSoner:
Does anyone have an idea as to when the xt1068 marshmallow update will be released? Is it close now since this update has been released?
[G 2014 General] luishr:
The "release" was a soak test, so the official one can take one month, or two, or three... you never know.

And of course, there is all the rollout plan for regions, carriers, etc... so it can still take some time for a official release.
[G 2014 General] JacobSoner:
Oh okay, well how about a soak test for the xt1068? Is that expected to come any time soon?
[G 2014 General] akay193:
Soak tests have already started sadly though no one has caught it yet for XT1068
[G 2014 General] luishr:
Impossible to answer... because there may already be people using the soak test for xt1068 and they can't/won't share, or they did not started yet and are waiting for results of xt1069 tests. All we can do is just wait.

If anybody can install TWRP recovery in Marsmallow, can do a backup of /system and upload it, it work in xt-1068 only restoring that backup, without flash brasilian firmware or xt-1068 modem later, like the installation of the first soak test of Lollipop 5.0.1 in this mobile few months ago... No OTA, no change de modem, no update the bootloader... The best way to install that is to restore a backup of /system of anybody who installed the OTA yet, and it will work fine (I think, like 5.0.1 soak).
