Root through sd card?

Is there a way to root through the SD card update? Like have a custom boot to tell it to install a way to unlock the bootloader or custom recovery?

No it verifies the update before it installs

Let's See 5318008.... what have you contributed? have you obtained Root Access 6 MONTHS later on the Max Pro? NOT!!! :D

Got One There Duckie.. :cool:

And Guess What! With my Moto G4, I have ROOT! and since I got my Max Pro for only $39 bucks and it's STILL on B08 and runs FLAWLESSLY... I can "Have My Cake And Eat It Too!" :cool:
[ZTE Zmax Pro Questions & Answers] 5318008:
For one thing, I've never gone into a forum that's for support or development of a phone just to badmouth that phone, which the other person did, and which was why I was replying to them so sarcastically. I'm not a dev myself, but I try to follow along all the relevant threads for this phone across the different forums, and when people show up asking questions with known answers, I try to point them in the right direction. Other than that I try not to post non-relevant stuff that clutters up the threads.

You Still Don't Get It...

You and everyone else were ( and still are :D ) SO PISSED that your $99 buck phone will NEVER obtain root... that, you refused to listen to what I told all of you... I had received the inside word that ZTE was NEVER going to allow bootloader unlock on that device..........period. No Maxing out Memory like on the OG Max to obtain Root.. They just were and still are not going to let us Cheapo's that only have $99 ( or $39 if you were smart when you purchased..) to spend on a phone also have Root Access.

That's reserved for the Flagship.. even the Axon 7's little brother the Mini can't get ZTE's support on this matter.. :cool:

And.. that thread still is FULL of "Crying Babies" long after I left it.

Clogging the "Root" thread ???

WHAT ROOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Remember.. I'm the one that Brought MESSI to the thread!

It's ok.. I forgive you and everyone else for not accepting what I tried to tell all of you back in December / January.. ;)

I love this phone.. for $39.00 bucks? it's the best deal I've ever transacted :good:

It's semi-retired and only sees movie duty in the garage while working on my motorcycle.. and I'll NEVER get rid of it.. but, I'm loving having Root Access again with my current 5.5 inch phone.. and I love my ZMAX PRO in it's True Roll as a small portable tablet and if needed in an emergency... it can make a call too!
[ZTE Zmax Pro Questions & Answers] 5318008:
You can go through every single Z981 thread here on xda or over at androidpolice and you'll not find me once crying about not having root. The only thing that pissed me off was people coming into the threads and going off topic and trying to stir up drama, just like what's happening right now. I bought my Zmax Pro knowing ahead of time that the phone did not have root and would likely never have root. Can we have any future posts here stay on topic? Thanks.
[ZTE Zmax Pro Questions & Answers] RaiderWill:
You STILL are missing the point...:D

It's over... There is No Root..:confused:

There is NOTHING to keep "On-Topic"... in case you missed it.. The Topic is so over.. ;)

I'm glad you're happy with your Max.. As stated, I'm happy with mine too!

As a tablet.. a cute little tablet.. that will never, ever have Root Access.

It was $39.99 well spent!

God Bless! and may you and your Phablet Prosper..

Gotta Go.... I have a Rooted Phone beckoning me to install another Custom ROM.. :cool:

Hi all, I'm not very familiar with all of this, but I assume unlocking sim is not the same as unlocking bootloader. It seems evident that there is not way for the bootloader to be unlocked as of right now, but I'm wondering if there is a way to unlock sim so that I can use a Metro PCS phone with another carrier like AT&T or T mobile (since they own Metro)?

Just switched to MetroPCS and received a free zmax pro. I wish I did more research before switching from iOS to droid. Oh well I suppose, but I figure I'll add to the army of folks wishing for a root.

It uses a stupid but clever Protection. (its got busy box) its already rooted but you got no Access to the the system Administration its Locked up .

I think you might need to reflash the original OEM ROM back onto the phone. There are a few threads for the Leon that explain how to do that, just make sure you get the KDZ file for your service provider.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexmohr1990:
I've been going through posts around here. I'm currently on OF1, but I see a ton of concerns on the OneClick method, reports of success being across the board. I'm confused on how we're not consistent on one method. But! That's my question - Which has most success / is most reliable? Opinions? I'd love direct links to the ones you prefer.

What bootstrap is current? I see TWRP is still on 4.3/4.4, and Safestrap apparently lost development? What are people using? I'm currently on 5.0 OF1 without root or bootstrap.

..And I saw something about unlocking the bootloader? The phone is recognized as a dev version afterword? Does this allow us to freely install whatever bootstrap we desire? I'd prefer to get TWRP if I can. I've got no fear of ODIN'ing the crap out of this thing.

I've seen comments all over the board on what ROMs work. Like, I can't seem to find much commonality from post to post. I'm a go-for-stable type of person. I adore stock, and don't need fluff. But the thing I do need ( If anyone can advise ) is to crack open this N900V to work on Straighttalk. This phone currently isn't active, and I've already got a Straight-talk SIM. Without any of this modding the SIM is "Unrecognized" per the phone, and I'm unable to change APN settings.

So if there are common setups to flash, I'd love a link to a Modem / GApps typically flashed if needed. Another love would be to get a CM13 (Or Any CM really, I saw CM11 for unlocked bootloader?) variant running, but again, opinions seem to be varied.

Any suggestions, opinions, directions, or guides welcome!

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaaidR:
I will say in advance that this phone was my first time going thru any of this, so take what I have to say with a grain of salt if you would like. I have been rooted for about a week, unlocked bootloader and flashed Jasmine 6.1 rom yesterday.

I tried using this method of root for a few days with no results (http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-note-3/general/ob6-of1-n900v-note-3-verizon-oneclick-t3333569). I tried on multiple computers running Windows 7 x64 with no luck. It would start the process, but would never reboot my phone into download mode.

After failing at that, I ended up trying this method with both computers running Win 7 x64 (http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-note-3/general/root-n900v-5-0-of1-one-click-t3330098) since there were multiple posts saying that it worked for them using Win 7 and running as admin. It would reboot my phone and then the computer program would freeze before the phone would start to download. I ended up taking the free Win 10 update on the wife's laptop and tried again. Phone was rooted in about 90 seconds. All I did was download KEIS and install the drivers it had, then try the program again. Worked flawlessly.

I followed this (http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-note-3/general/how-to-unlock-verizon-galaxy-note-3-t3360309) to unlock my bootloader. The one exception, is that I followed a YouTube video on how to do it by using a Terminal Emulator on the phone rather than via PC. In the video the guy adds "samsung" to a couple places in the code, but I did not. I followed the code exactly as is in the post I linked and it worked.

To install TWRP via FlashFire, you have to unlock bootloader. Once you unlock the bootloader, FlashFire will give you an option to download and flash TWRP.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Poor Man's App Freeze

[MENTION=7608246]RaaidR[/MENTION]

FWIW, you can also perform a similar "freezing" function by going in to the /system/app folder and doing a

chmod 0000 filename.apk

On the .apk and .odex files you want to freeze. (For all I know that might be the technique that TiBu uses)

Note that since /system is typically mounted read-only, you have to temporarily mount it read-write when doing this. For example, in a terminal emulator:

su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cd /system/app
chmod 0000 Knox*.apk Knox*.odex
...
cd /
sync
mount -o remount,ro /system
exit
exit

Unless you need to make room inside of /system/app to install other apps (which will then survive a recovery-boot "factory reset"*), there's almost nothing to be gained by actually removing them rather than freezing them. They don't consume any runtime resources and probably don't even affect boot time following a cache/dalvik-cache wipe once they are "frozen".

Here is a list of things I froze in an older stock ROM; mostly to prevent OTA nagging, Knox BS, and some VZW spyware:

ContainerAgent.apk

ContainerAgent.odex

ContainerEventsRelayManager.apk

ContainerEventsRelayManager.odex

FWUpgrade.apk

FWUpgrade.odex

KLMSAgent.apk

KLMSAgent.odex

KNOXAgent.apk

KNOXAgent.odex

KNOXStore.apk

KNOXStore.odex

KnoxAttestationAgent.apk

KnoxAttestationAgent.odex

LocalFOTA.apk

SDM.apk

SDM.odex

VMS.apk

This post (from 4.3) has a more extensive list of debloating; I haven't used it so I can't vouch for it.

*some market apps don't seem to behave correctly when you drop their .apk into /system/app, so ymmv on this style of hack.

[MENTION=5311812]alexmohr1990[/MENTION]

Sorry for the small tangent/thread-jack.

If you like solid, bugfree performance, stick with rooted stock (but kill off stuff you dont want to be running via freezing and Android's built in app "Disable" feature in Settings==>Application manager)

Frankly, the only things you need to "freeze" are apps that do not appear in the Application manager - e.g. stuff like Verizon spyware (VMS.apk) and Knox crapola. For anything that shows up in the App manager, you can use the "Disable" feature. (TiBu "freezing" pre-dates

the appearance of the app Disable feature in Stock Android, so a lot of long time users of TiBu don't seem to be aware of Android's now built in app disable feature)

Can't help with the carrier stuff; I've only been on Verizon.

good luck
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaaidR:
I went with Jasmine 6.1 so that I could use the Xposed software since it requires a deodexed rom.........stock rom isn't deodexed from what I read.

Also, I read a few list's like that, but wasn't sure on how much I could screw up in 5.0 since the list's were from previous versions of Android.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexmohr1990:
[MENTION=7608246]RaaidR[/MENTION] : This is the type of post I'm looking for. I've been ROMing since a Droid 2, but never hadid as much trouble as this silly vzw version note. Thanks!

[MENTION=2341536]bftb0[/MENTION] Well. Typically I would stay stock. But even stock has anyone crafted an unofficial stock higher than 5.0? I saw something about s7 firmware. I did recently install CM13 for a friend on a S4. Made me super jelly and wanted to try it. My biggest concern is getting this thing unlocked to the point I can use preferably LTE on straighttalk. So I definitely need to be able to modify apn settings, but unlocking is a point I've never dived into, much less on such a difficult model.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaaidR:
You are welcome. If you run across any issues, I might be able to help, but my knowledge is limited. Good luck going forward, let me know how it works out for you.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexmohr1990:
Excellent! [MENTION=7608246]RaaidR[/MENTION] all of it for the most part worked like a charm. Root was no trouble, same for bootloader. Both on first try. Had to flash TWRP Manually through Odin, but I got it. Good stuff. Now to hunt down a ROM. Thanks a ton for such a precise response! :D

So... For ROMs... Does this mean I can now access Developer Version ROMs? I'm looking for something unlocked (Or can easily modify carrier settings) and stable. Not into the idea of "Whelp. Guess it decided not to boot today" that I've run into with ROMing on previous phones. Haven't really got to play with Xposed yet, so it'd be cool to tool around with it too.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaaidR:
Jasmine 6.1 comes with Xposed infused and is very close to stock rom from what I have experienced so far and from what others have said about it. As far as Developer Roms go, that I can't tell you much about that. I went straight to Jasmine because from everything I have read it seems to be the most stable of what is out there. Hopefully somebody on here can give you some different options. If you decide to go with Jasmine, make sure to remember to flash the partial firmware thru Odin after flashing the rom.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexmohr1990:
Is this the Jasmine ROM you refer to? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2760380

Guess I've never had a device with an unlocked bootloader. Hah. I guess my next question would be - I wouldn't be able to use any Pre-5.0 ROMs? Not that I truthfully want to for the most part. But as you said, there just seems to be a slim amount of things about as I guess many have moved on to newer devices and Root/Bootloader progress came so late.

I'll give it a try though. Plan to make a day of flashing.

Edit: For Jasmine... It makes note of a retail version and developer version... Are we technically on the dev version after the unlock? I didn't see a mention to tell the difference.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaaidR:
I believe you are not able to downgrade from 5.0 once you go to it, or at least that was my understand pre-root. If that has changed post-root, I cannot say but I didn't attempt it.

Also, although we now have the developer mode enabled due to unlocking bootloader, I didn't know the difference and chose to follow the retail instructions and it worked flawlessly.

I searched for "Jasmine 6.1 install" on YouTube and followed the video by EverythingSamsungPro since I also followed his video on bootloader unlock.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fubz:
You can get CM13 here: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-note-3/development/rom-temaseks-unofficial-build-t3364382

I've been running it for a couple of weeks and I have found it to be the only usable MM rom at the moment. Otherwise that Jasmine ROM is a solid choice.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaaidR:
I did flash the partial firmware on mine and did not flash the modem part for the developer edition, so far I have had no issues. Am I missing something I am supposed to have?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Well, the point of that partial firmware was to upgrade the bootloader firmware set (if needed) and also install a stock boot and recovery images. Here's the contents of that .tar.md5.7z archive:

-rw-r--r-- hsbadr/staff 5932800 2015-07-16 06:39 NON-HLOS.bin
-rw-r--r-- hsbadr/staff 1110652 2015-07-16 06:39 [b][color=red]aboot.mbn[/color][/b]
-rw-r--r-- hsbadr/staff 10840336 2015-07-16 06:39 [b]boot.img[/b]
-rw-r--r-- hsbadr/staff 56542976 2015-07-16 06:36 modem.bin
-rw-r--r-- hsbadr/staff 11796752 2015-07-16 06:39 [b]recovery.img[/b]
-rw-r--r-- hsbadr/staff 164388 2015-07-16 06:39 rpm.mbn
-rw-r--r-- hsbadr/staff 280976 2015-07-16 06:38 sbl1.mbn
-rw-r--r-- hsbadr/staff 32356 2015-07-16 06:38 sdi.mbn
-rw-r--r-- hsbadr/staff 321284 2015-07-16 06:38 tz.mbn

The one shown in red - "aboot.mbn" is the final (third) stage of the bootloader, and it corresponds to the "aboot" partition which is modified by the bootloader unlock technique. "aboot.mbn" is the code you visually observe running on the phone in Odin mode and during bootloader sequences.

So, what you did was that you re-locked your bootloader, and if you had a custom recovery installed you overwrote that with the stock version. If you were to boot into Odin mode, you will no longer see the "MODE: DEVELOPER" message.

If you want to unlock the bootloader, just run the unlock tool again as root. (You will have to destroy your external SD card again)

Good luck

PS. This is a little of a tangent but it is worthwhile that you look at that file listing above as you are new to this. Whenever a (Note 3) "bootloader" firmware upgrade is performed in Odin, all of the following files are flashed in the same Odin session:

NON-HLOS.bin, aboot.mbn, modem.bin, rpm.mbn, sbl1.mbn, sdi.mbn, tz.mbn

These files each are flashed into separate partitions, but they have interlocking dependencies; you can't flash them individually in a willy-nilly fashion. If you ever do that you are risking a hard-bricking.

The only exception in this group is the "modem.bin" radio firmware. (Some people fool around (mix-n-match) with various radio firmwares, probably without any firm evidence to support their claims as to why they engage in such behavior.)

When people distinguish between "ROM" and "bootloader firmware", they mean by ROM these files:

recovery.img (stock ROMs; omitted if you already have a custom recovery)

boot.img

system.img.ext4

cache.img.ext4

That's what made the bundle you flashed "partial" - it didn't contain the stock system.img or cache.img
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaaidR:
In the download screen I still show as being in developer mode, but I did unlock the bootloader before flashing Jasmine ROM. So would flashing the partial firmware be the reason why I had to reflash TWRP with FlashFire after flashing Jasmine?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
For sure, yes. (cause of recovery needing to be re-flashed).

:o

But that is really very surprising that you still have Developer Mode showing. I guess I'll look into something (perhaps the DE sig is flashed into the back end of the aboot partition and it survived the new flash because the aboot.mbn image is not sufficiently large to cause an erasure of the erase block that the sig lives in.)

That's new information you just discovered right there.

I assume that you do not get the "Unauthorized Software" pop-up message when you boot the custom recovery, is that right?

Thanks for the information.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaaidR:
Nope, I don't get any warnings or pop-ups about anything when I load TWRP. When I boot to TWRP, it just boots right to it like it should without any warnings at all.

Just so you know, this is exactly what I did in order:

Rooted phone (Yemen n900v 5.0 of1 one click)

Unlocked bootloader with Terminal Emulator

Downloaded FlashFire and flashed TWRP

Flashed Jasmine 6.1 ROM with FlashFire (in FlashFire I selected Wipe and chose System Data, 3rd Party Apps, Dalvik cache) and set reboot in FlashFire to Bootloader

Flashed partial firmware via ODIN in AP slot

During reboot, I removed battery and booted into Recovery Mode (Vol Up, Home, Power Button)

Wipe/Factory Reset

Wipe Cache Partition

Reboot and complete setup

After this I re-downloaded all of them and restored data via TB. During this, I noticed that I no longer had TWRP. Opened FlashFire again and downloaded and flashed TWRP one more time.

Being new to all of this, I assumed that TWRP got wiped when I flashed new ROM and did all of the wipes so I just assumed that it wiped everything else also. After this, everything works perfectly. I don't have any issues with anything, except I wish I could download some new themes to use with the ROM (may be able to, I just haven't found out how to yet. I have been looking, just haven't come across the correct stuff to read).

As far as it being new information, leave it up to the noob to stumble across it haha.
